In the evening, Lin Jie arrived at the An Family's place in the Golden Tripod Building.
Taking advantage of the aunt still preparing dinner, Lin Jie briefly assessed An Keng's knowledge of human blood vessels.
Unfortunately, it seed that An Keng had put in a lot of effort, or perhaps she really had talent and interest in this area. She rembered these simple and boring things clearly and logically.
In short, once again, Lin Jie missed the chance to punish An Keng.
As An Keng was gloating, An Weize and An Kexin returned ho together.
After dinner, several people sat together enjoying tea.
Lin Jie briefly recounted the conversation he had with Cheng Xingguang that afternoon.
An Weize pondered for a mont and said, "Dean Cheng's speculations do make sense."
"Ah Jie, at that charity auction dinner, didn't Ye Hongqing tell you soone was spreading rumors to suppress you?"
"Maybe soone started targeting you from that ti."
"What's with these people?"
With an indignant look, An Keng said, "Isn't it just because we didn't accept their invitation?"
"Why are they all so petty, trying to suppress soone over a trivial matter."
An Kexin took the opportunity to advise, "Keng, once you truly enter society, you will find that it is very complicated. It's not uncommon to offend people with just a word."
"These people might think that Ah Jie didn't give them respect, didn't acknowledge their status, and perhaps even envy Ah Jie's talent, so they used suppression as a tactic."
An Weize sipped his tea slowly and said, "Where there is smoke, there is fire."
"These people might already be prepared, just waiting for you, Ah Jie, to run into them, to give you a hard lesson, to teach you to respect elders, be humble and cautious, and be available on call."
"Dean Cheng's suggestion, I still think it's viable."
"Ah Jie, what do you think?"
Lin Jie smiled and said, "If Dean Cheng hadn't ntioned it, I wouldn't even have thought of awards and honors."
"These things aren't crucial; without them, I can still practice dicine, and my earnings won't decrease by a cent."
He nonchalantly said, "Since the situation is so complicated, I simply won't get involved to avoid trouble."
An Weize agreed, "You're still young, there will be more opportunities for you."
"Besides, just within the Binhai dical Community, the na Lin Jie is more well-known and trusted than any professor, any expert, or any chief."
"In three to five years, perhaps within the national dical community, you won't need to add any prefix or suffix when introducing yourself, just the simple na 'Lin Jie' will suffice."
An Kexin laughed, "By that ti, it won't be you needing the recognition of those awards and honors, but those awards and honors needing your validation."
"Let's hope so!" Lin Jie appeared calm and indifferent.
An Kexin then asked, "Ah Jie, do you have any thoughts about the assistant matter? You previously ntioned having Sister Xiaoxiao as your life assistant and finding soone knowledgeable in dicine as your work assistant."
Lin Jie thought for a mont and said, "Since I'm not applying for awards and honors, there's no rush for the work assistant. I'll slowly look for a suitable one."
With the decision of not seeking awards and honors, the conversation shifted to the incident of the stray dog biting the child.
After learning the facts from Lin Jie, the An sisters were incredibly surprised and sighing.
An Kexin was particularly incredulous and said, "I've t Xue Xinlan a few tis, and she seed gentle and well-mannered. I couldn't have imagined she'd do sothing so cruel."
"Sis, Brother Jie did say her target was the mistress, not the child. It's all the dog's fault."
After saying this, An Keng poked Lin Jie with one finger and snorted, "The deeper the love once was, the deeper the hate now."
"When a woman turns ruthless, Brother Jie, you've seen, right?"
Lin Jie struck her hand forcefully and said, "I don't need a special reminder from you. With your sister's skills, I wouldn't dare do anything to wrong her."
An Kexin smiled teasingly, "Is it just because you're scared?"
"I don't have the guts or the inclination!" Lin Jie quickly added.
An Kexin made a soft disapproving sound and refilled Lin Jie's tea, "That child should be able to fully recover, right?"
"It's a bit troubleso!"
Lin Jie analyzed, "The main issue is the injury to the right thigh, with more than a third of the muscle torn off by the dog, which will severely affect the function of the right leg."
"The fibers of the thigh muscles are particularly long, and the muscles available for transplantation, like those in the left thigh, are very limited."
"Without affecting function, the muscle fibers available for transplantation from these few muscles are limited."
"Moreover, human muscle regeneration capability is very weak, and even with dication, it won't be effective in a short ti."
"It may take over ten years for the child's injuries to fully heal."
An Kexin sighed sympathetically and changed the subject, saying, "Ah Jie, the online registration for the dical direction class officially starts tomorrow."
"Are you really deciding not to get involved at all in the entire selection and assessnt process for students?"
Lin Jie said seriously, "I won't get involved."
He explained, "Uncle An, Kexin, I have self-awareness. I'm only proficient in dicine and am far inferior to those experts in other areas."
"I won't ddle in this. I'll leave it entirely to the school to handle, to avoid interference from outsiders."
"I only need to review the final candidate."
The group chatted casually.
Because Lin Jie had a surgery scheduled for tomorrow, he went to sleep before ten to conserve his energy.
Next to Lin Jie, An Kexin was not sleepy. Leaning against the headboard, she took her laptop to do so work.
As soon as An Kexin opened her laptop, Lin Jie, who was sleeping next to her, turned over, leaned close to her, and placed an arm over her.
An Kexin covered him with a blanket, adjusted her position slightly to be more comfortable, and began to work…
Just over half an hour had passed when Lin Jie's phone on the bedside table suddenly started ringing urgently.
In the quiet bedroom, the ringtone was so loud that it startled An Kexin.
She was about to reach for the phone when Lin Jie turned over, reached for the phone on the bedside table, answered it with his eyes closed, and muttered, "Hello..."
"Expert Lin, there's an ergency at the hospital!"
An Kexin recognized Cheng Xingguang's voice.
"Oh, has sothing major happened? How many injured are there?"
As Lin Jie spoke, he was already getting up, preparing to dress.
"No, it's soone who's taken things too hard and wants to jump off a building."
Hearing this, Lin Jie sat back on the bed and asked, "Dean Cheng, what exactly happened? How is this related to ?"
An Kexin also moved closer to Lin Jie and heard Cheng Xingguang's voice from the phone, "Sigh, it's a female patient from the plastic surgery departnt. She had a nose job and jaw reshaping surgery at the hospital."
"Her boyfriend found out about this and wants to break up with her."
"As a result, the girl couldn't take it and is demanding the hospital restore her appearance."
"The plastic surgery departnt says it's difficult to do."
"Tonight, don't know what set her off again, she sohow got to the top of the building on the helipad and says she'll jump unless the hospital restores her appearance."
"She even specifically asked for you, Expert Lin, to do the surgery because you're the best."
After understanding the situation, Lin Jie was a bit angry.
Damn, what's this girl thinking, using jumping as a threat at every turn.
"Dean Cheng, what do you an by this?"
Cheng Xingguang's voice helplessly said, "I an for you, Expert Lin, to pretend to agree to her, coax her down from the helipad, and then we'll persuade and educate her."
Lin Jie agreed.
After waiting for a while, a woman's sobbing voice ca from the phone, "Expert Lin, can you restore my appearance?"
Lin Jie held back his anger, trying to make his voice as calm as possible, "One hundred percent recovery is impossible; I can only try my best to fix it."
Saying this, he couldn't help but add, "Is that boyfriend really so good that he's worth this?"
"Are you sure that if you restore your appearance, you'll get back together?"
"Maybe it's just an excuse? Perhaps he's wanted to break up with you for so ti..."
Before Lin Jie finished speaking, An Kexin tugged at his arm.
He also realized he had said too much and hurriedly said, "Anyway, co down from the helipad first. I'll do the surgery for you."
Perhaps all the other person needed was a promise from Lin Jie.
After Lin Jie gave his assurance, the girl ca down from the helipad.
Lin Jie threw his phone back onto the bedside table, turned around, hugged An Kexin, and his hands started to wander. With a cheeky smile, he said, "I'm not sleepy anymore. How about so exercise?"
An Kexin held his restless hands down and said breathlessly, "Aren't you doing a major surgery tomorrow? Aren't you afraid of lack of energy then?"
"No problem! Moderate exercise is only beneficial for physical and ntal health, making more energetic..."
Just as Lin Jie's hands were roaming, An Kexin's laptop suddenly made a "dong dong" notification sound. It was a video call request.
An Kexin pushed Lin Jie away, looked at the laptop, and said, "It's Slophel!"
She tidied her pajamas and hair, and answered the video call.
Slophel saw both An Kexin and Lin Jie on the screen and noticed the blush that hadn't faded from An Kexin's face. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm very sorry to disturb you at an inappropriate ti!"
"I have already received a confirmation response here."
"My client wants to have the surgery at the end of October, and hopes to confirm the specific timing with you."
