Delicious food is the best redy, there's so truth to this saying.
Although Lin Jie's cooking skills can't compare to the chefs in star-rated restaurants, he only makes ho-cooked dishes.
However, with the added touch of being a ntor and the warm family atmosphere, Gao Yanhong and Yan Beichen couldn't help but feel it was one of the most delicious dinners they've ever had.
Having eaten and drunk to their heart's content, the two brushed off the gloom hanging over them, thanked Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and Zhang Xiaoxiao for their hospitality, and then took their leave.
It was close to ten in the evening when An Kexin arrived at the apartnt.
Lin Jie handed her a glass of water and chided, "It's been raining outside, didn't I tell you that you didn't need to co tonight?"
An Kexin enjoyed Lin Jie's concern, took a sip of water, and chuckled, "It's not like I walked in the rain, a little rain won't affect driving."
"I ca to tell you sothing."
"At tomorrow's signing ceremony for my uncle, besides signing the transfer agreent with Xingwang Pharmaceutical, there's also a cooperation agreent with the Tianze Biodical Research Center led by Zou Tianxing."
Lin Jie seed to understand and asked, "Is Professor Chen trying to get this Biodical Research Center to develop the Konsde generic drug?"
An Kexin nodded and said, "Essentially, yes."
"But in terms of public relations..."
She paused, with a hint of sarcasm, "It's supposedly the Tianze Biodical Research Center that is using a generic drug nearly developed over many years as a bargaining chip to establish a close strategic partnership with my uncle."
Lin Jie was taken aback and said, "This is..."
An Kexin teased, "I guess it's a win-win situation."
"My uncle wants to use the reputation of the Tianze Biodical Research Center to cover up the origin of the generic drug formula and production process he has."
"And the Tianze Biodical Research Center..."
She shook her head slightly, disdainfully remarking, "Though it carries the title of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I've learned that in recent years, this research center hasn't achieved any major scientific breakthroughs."
"They want to claim others' achievents to boost their influence."
Lin Jie couldn't help but widen his eyes, sighing, "Both sides really are looking out for their own interests."
"A-Jie, my uncle asked to pass on a ssage to you."
An Kexin reminded, "You need to pretend you don't know about the generic drug formula and make sure not to slip up in front of the people from the Tianze Biodical Research Center or other outsiders."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Got it, I'm not dumb..."
The night passed without further words.
Early the next morning, Lin Jie and the others, having had breakfast, set out with An Kexin to the Crown Holiday Hotel.
With each autumn rain cos a chill.
Although it was no longer raining, the bleak autumn wind made pedestrians on the road feel the chill of late autumn.
Yet Lin Jie felt a bit hot.
This morning, he couldn't resist the insistence of the three won.
To avoid catching a cold, Lin Jie had to wear thermal underwear under his thick formal coat.
Upon arriving at the Holiday Inn, they entered a banquet hall on the third floor, where three or four dozen people had already gathered.
He saw An Weize, Tao Taqing, Ren Maoshi, and others, as well as a dozen familiar faces from the dical College and Academy.
They were grouped in threes and fours, engaging in friendly exchanges.
In the center front of the banquet hall, there were long tables covered with red velvet cloth, clearly prepared for the signing ceremony.
With spirits high from the joyful occasion, Chen Shi and Chen Fanzhi were moving around the hall, occasionally chatting with guests as they arrived.
Waitstaff wove through the crowd, carrying trays of various drinks, wine, and champagne.
Lin Jie and An Kexin approached An Weize and took a drink and a glass of wine from the waitstaff.
"Dad, didn't Keng co?"
An Weize shook his head and said, "No, she's studying at ho. She said this kind of event isn't beneficial to her, just a waste of valuable ti."
He looked at Lin Jie and smiled, "A-Jie, I'm entrusting Keng's future to you."
"I don't expect her to be as talented as you are, but at least..."
An Weize glanced at the spirited Chen Shi nearby and said, "She can't be worse than her uncle, can she?"
Lin Jie took a sip of juice and said, "Uncle An, I promise to do my best to teach her."
"I have to say, this little one's ability to comprehend and her dedication have sowhat exceeded my expectations. If she keeps this up, the realization of your wish is highly probable."
An Weize, delighted, said, "That's just wonderful."
"In the future, if your and Kexin's children study dicine, and Keng's children do too, we'll beco a well-regarded dical family dynasty."
"Expert Lin, Chairman An, President An!"
Lin Jie turned his body to see Ren Maoshi approaching with a glass of red wine.
"Professor Ren, hello!"
Lin Jie raised his glass of juice to gesture to him.
"Expert Lin, thank you for your generous guidance to Jianzhong. I recently watched him perform a surgery, and I could clearly see his improvent."
"Thank you once again."
After expressing his gratitude, Ren Maoshi continued, "I heard Anlin Hospital is still looking for a suitable candidate for the head of the cardiology departnt?"
An Kexin spoke up, "Yes, Professor Ren, do you have soone to recomnd?"
Ren Maoshi pondered for a mont and said, "I have a student nad Pei Haiping..."
Before he could finish, An Weize couldn't help but interrupt, "You an that lunatic Pei..."
Ren Maoshi nodded and said with emotion, "Yes, that lunatic Pei."
"I didn't expect that after all these years, soone would still rember that nickna!"
An Weize explained to the uninford Lin Jie and An Kexin, "A-Jie, Kexin, Dr. Pei Haiping was quite a sensational figure in the Binhai dical Community ten years ago."
"At that ti, he perford a groundbreaking surgery, secretly transplanting a pig heart into a human."
Transplanting a pig heart into a human?
Lin Jie imdiately developed a strong interest in this person.
Transplanting a pig heart into a human sounds incredibly unbelievable, yet it has a certain feasibility.
Like monkeys and gorillas, although they are quite close to humans,
due to their smaller size, the proportion of their hearts and organs cannot support the large human body. So even if removed, humans can't use them.
However, pigs have a body weight similar to humans, and the size of their organs is also quite close. Additionally, so of the pigs' biochemical indicators et the standards for transplantation.
So theoretically, pigs are the best donors for human organ transplants.
The biggest challenge here is rejection.
Even between humans, organ transplants encounter attacks, destruction, and elimination from the human immune system, let alone from pigs' organs.
Lin Jie knew that scientists have been researching pig heart transplants, experinting with various thods to solve the issue of xenotransplant rejection.
The most successful progress in research so far has been the successful use of pig heart valves to replace damaged human heart valves.
Then An Weize exclaid, "The miracle is that the pig heart transplant was successful, allowing that person to live for nearly another week."
"However, it is said that the surgery violated many regulations."
"And it was also found out that this Dr. Pei secretly practiced heart surgery on dead bodies from the morgue."
"Ultimately, Dr. Pei Haiping had his dical license revoked, and I never heard about him again afterward."
Ren Maoshi nodded and said, "Indeed, Pei Haiping had his dical license revoked."
"After that, he went abroad."
"In recent years, he regained his dical license abroad and beca a cardiothoracic surgeon."
Ren Maoshi looked at Lin Jie and said, "Expert Lin, Pei Haiping can be said to be the most talented student I've taught in all my years of teaching."
"If it weren't for his antics back then, his achievents would surely have surpassed mine by now."
"He recently told that he wants to return to develop here. I think Anlin Hospital is a very suitable place for him."
An Weize and An Kexin were not in a position to make a decision on this matter, so they both looked at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie pondered for a mont and said, "Professor Ren, thank you for your recomndation. I hope to have the opportunity to interact with Dr. Pei closely."
Ren Maoshi smiled and said, "Expert Lin, I will relay your words to him."
"I believe Pei Haiping will not disappoint you..."
Just as Ren Maoshi left, Chen Shi approached with a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who appeared pale and thin.
Chen Shi introduced with enthusiasm, "Weize, Lin Jie, Kexin, let introduce you to Researcher Lu Ran, the deputy director of the Tianze Biodical Research Center."
"Researcher Lu, hello!"
Lin Jie, An Weize, and An Kexin politely greeted Lu Ran.
Lu Ran adjusted his glasses and said enthusiastically, "Dr. Lin, I've heard so much about you."
"I know that not only are your dical skills superb, but you're also a rare general practitioner with no weaknesses, excelling in all specialties."
Lin Jie seriously added, "I know very little about psychiatry."
Lu Ran paused for a mont and then continued, "Understood, understood! Dr. Lin, are you available today?"
"After the signing ceremony, I would like to discuss so potential collaboration matters with you on behalf of the Tianze Biodical Research Center."
Lin Jie slightly frowned and asked, "What kind of collaboration?"
Lu Ran explained, "Our center has three drugs about to enter clinical trials, and we would like to..."
"No need!"
Before he could finish, Lin Jie interrupted, "Pharmaceutical research is not my strength."
"Furthermore, I don't have extra ti beyond clinical diagnosis, surgery, and teaching."
Knowing that this pharmaceutical research center collaborated with Chen Shi, preparing to exploit soone else's achievents for their own fa, Lin Jie had already grown averse to them.
He distrusted their research outcos even more.
Therefore, for Lu Ran's proposed collaboration, Lin Jie straightforwardly refused.
Lu Ran's expression stiffened, and he glanced at Chen Shi beside him before continuing, "Dr. Lin..."
"Researcher Lu!"
An Kexin once again interrupted him, saying with a bright smile, "I handle all of Lin Jie's external cooperation matters."
"You can discuss this with first."
At this mont, Chen Fanzhi walked over and said, "Boss Deng from Xingwang Pharmaceutical has arrived. The signing ceremony can begin."
