In the evening, Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and An Kexin were having dinner at a stylish steam cuisine restaurant.
An Kexin took a sip of the restaurant's signature ginseng black chicken soup and praised, "Not bad, the soup is clear and flavorful without being greasy."
She then asked, "A-Jie, did you finally agree to Xie Xingze's request?"
Lin Jie used chopsticks to split a small black chicken and gave a drumstick to Lin Miao, saying softly, "Well, sort of agreed halfway."
"Right now, my focus is mainly on Yao Henan and the conjoined twins, and I don't have any extra ti to take on other patients for the ti being."
"I looked at that person's dical record, and it's a brachial plexus nerve injury."
"I've heard that in the past few months Dean Tao Taqing has been quietly practicing and researching nerve damage recovery with great dedication, according to Professor Chen Shi, he's making rapid progress."
"The nerve injury of this person isn't an end-point nerve recovery, so the difficulty is significantly reduced and should be within Dean Tao's capabilities, so I recomnded this patient to him."
Lin Jie added, "At the sa ti, I also warned Xie Xingze."
"Just this once, in the future, don't keep sending patients to one after another from all over."
He glanced at Lin Miao, who appeared unperturbed, and said softly, "Cutting off all ties completely is better than lingering on."
An Kexin gently nodded and didn't continue on this topic, instead, she remarked, "I didn't expect Dean Tao could also handle similar surgeries now, I thought it would take at least three to five years."
Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "dical science is always advancing, besides, Dean Tao has got an advantageous position!"
"However..."
He confidently added, "Whether it's Dean Tao or anyone else, to reach my level, they would need at least two to three years of focused, rigorous practice and experience accumulation."
An Kexin asked with concern, "A-Jie, you and your students have been busy lately. Should we postpone the charity clinic this Saturday?"
Lin Jie thought for a mont, shook his head, and said, "It's already been postponed for so long, it's not good to break the promise this ti."
"Currently, the preliminary work is led by Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, and Dr. Lei. The students are doing auxiliary work, taking one day out is manageable and won't affect the overall situation."
"Brother, how are the conjoined twins' current examination results?" Lin Miao asked with concern.
Lin Jie stated factually, "From the current examination data, it's not looking good, there's a high possibility that only one can be saved."
Lin Miao gasped in surprise and said empathically, "Brother, if possible, save both of them."
"They're twins and surely hope to accompany each other for life."
Lin Jie promised, "Yes, I will naturally do my best, I won't give up until the last mont. I also hope to see them grow up supporting each other."
"I believe brother can create a miracle once again."
Having confidence in Lin Jie, Lin Miao asked, "Has brother set a date for Nannan's surgery?"
Lin Jie pondered and said, "It depends on the progress of the water tank equipnt developnt and Nannan's recovery speed. If all goes well, the surgery will be scheduled for next Friday or Saturday.
"Once the surgery date is confird, I'll take Nannan to see her father."
An Kexin hesitated for a mont and asked, "A-Jie, have you thought about Nannan's future?"
"This matter has blown up so much that although the attention will eventually fade, Nannan, as the person involved, is bound to be a focal point for a long ti."
"Moreover, will the parents and relatives of the deceased children and so responsible people who were heavily criticized because of this hold any resentnt towards Nannan?"
Lin Jie hadn't really considered Nannan's future, so he asked, "Kexin, do you have any suggestions?"
An Kexin slowly said, "Leave Binhai for a few years, study in another city, or go abroad for education."
"After so years, Nannan will have grown and her appearance may change, and she can return to Binhai if she wants."
Lin Jie nodded lightly and said, "I will seriously discuss this with Nannan and her father."
"Nannan's post-op recovery will take at least three to four months, so there's ample ti to plan this."
Seeing that Lin Jie had taken this matter to heart, An Kexin then smiled and said, "A-Jie, Miaomiao, Dad invited a Taoist priest from White Cloud Temple who set the exact date for the wedding."
"When is it?" asked the Lin siblings in unison.
"Lunar calendar June 28th, Gregorian calendar July 30th, Thursday."
Lin Jie imdiately asked, "With the date set, shouldn't we start with other preparations too? Is there anything I need to do?"
"Kexin, I can help too," Lin Miao said enthusiastically.
An Kexin knew these two were complete novices when it ca to wedding matters, and there were no elders at ho to take charge.
She smiled slightly and said, "A-Jie and Miaomiao, if you want to be completely relaxed, you don't need to worry about anything, just attend the wedding as the groom and groom's sister."
"But if you want to be involved in every detail, that can be arranged too, just don't be afraid of trouble."
Exchanging a glance with Lin Miao, Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I'll just be a hands-off groom and show up on the day for the wedding."
Lin Miao eagerly volunteered, "I can help, it's my brother's wedding after all, I can't just stay out of it."
An Kexin smiled, "Great, I now appoint Lin Miao as the deputy leader of the wedding preparation group, responsible for matters related to the groom."
Lin Miao giggled, "I'll definitely do a good job."
"Kexin, the first thing we should do is book the hotel, right? Which hotel are we booking for the wedding?"
"Let's stick with the Crown Holiday Hotel, A-Jie, what do you think?"
An Kexin explained again: "Ever since the news ca out that you and I are getting married in the second half of the year, the Crown Holiday Hotel has been trying to persuade my dad and ."
"The company and this hotel have always maintained a partnership for many years..."
Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "Just go with this hotel. Their food tastes pretty good."
"What about the wedding style then?"
Lin Miao eagerly suggested: "Helicopter? Hot air balloon? Or going back to the traditional bridal sedan chair..."
"No need for such flashy ideas!"
Lin Jie stopped Lin Miao's suggestions, expressing his stance: "Just stick to an ordinary ceremony, no fuss."
"Miaomiao, if you particularly fancy a certain ceremony, you can use it for your own wedding."
Lin Miao giggled and said, "I don't want to get married. It's enough for to have my brother and Kexin looking after ."
An Kexin teased: "If you don't get married, what happens when we grow old and can't take care of you anymore?"
"By that ti, your kids will be all grown up, and they'll take care of ,"
Lin Miao counted on her fingers, saying, "You two need to have at least three kids—two to take care of you when they grow up, and one to look after , hehe..."
Lin Jie shot her a sideways glance, unwilling to engage with this suddenly childish little one.
At this mont, Lin Jie's phone rang; it was a call from Du Feixue.
On the call, Du Feixue told Lin Jie that the materials are ready and asked him to contact Shao Deyao in the Capital City.
"Ready in just one day?" Lin Jie was a bit skeptical.
"The materials were already there; we just reorganized and formatted them. Today was mainly about assessing Shao Deyao to know our adversary."
Du Feixue confidently said, "For this eting, I'll bring the entire team, including project planning, script, editing, planning, finance, to show our professionalism and thorough preparation."
"Plus, with the shared experiences between and Shao Deyao, along with your enthusiastic recomndation, Lin Jie, I believe the chance for successful cooperation is quite high."
"Then I wish you get what you hope for."
Lin Jie hung up on Du Feixue and wasted no ti finding Shao Deyao's number and dialed it.
The phone only rang twice before it was answered, and Shao Deyao's voice ca through, "Hello, Expert Lin!"
"When I left ho this morning, I heard magpies chirping, and I knew sothing good would happen today."
"Seeing your call, I realized that the magpies' chirping was a sign."
Lin Jie laughed, saying, "You've got eloquence that rivals the matchmakers of ancient tis. I need to talk to you about sothing. Do you know Mr. Du Haishan from Binhai?"
"Mr. Du Haishan from Binhai?"
Shao Deyao let out a long "oh," chuckled, and said, "I rember now, a well-known master of calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting. I even have one of the old master's landscape paintings hanging at ho."
Lin Jie continued, "The Du Family, where Mr. Du Haishan belongs, has accomplished quite a bit in the cultural industry."
"Recently, they've established a film company and plan to produce a movie, seeking a partner."
"Oh, what type of movie? What's the investnt amount?"
Lin Jie explained, "It's a comrcial film on the subject of earthquake disasters, with an investnt reportedly around two hundred million."
"Mr. Shao, I heard you also own a film company."
"The CEO of the Du Family's film company is Du Feixue, who is Mr. Du Haishan's granddaughter, and she's a friend of mine."
"She wants to know if she could have a conversation with you to gain so insights and explore the potential for collaboration on this film."
Shao Deyao's cheerful voice ca over the phone, "Expert Lin, your friends are my friends. Regardless of cooperation, I'm certainly open to sharing my experiences and insights wholeheartedly."
Lin Jie was satisfied with his response and asked, "Thank you, Mr. Shao. When would it be convenient for you?"
Shao Deyao paused for a mont on the phone and responded, "Saturday. I can clear my schedule for the entire day."
After hanging up, Lin Jie reported the matter to Du Feixue, and the Lin siblings and An Kexin focused intently on their al.
After the al, the three had just returned ho to Xiangtai Apartnt when Lin Jie received a call from Kong Mingqing.
"Lin Jie, soone has confessed to hiring a hit on He Tongfang."
"However, the person confessing is not Hu Xinyi, but her father, Hu Yuankui, who has been jailed for producing and selling fake drugs."
Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and asked, "Brother Kong, is this a scapegoat?"
"It's hard to say. Many of the details Hu Yuankui confessed align very well with our findings."
"If he's taking the bla, either he was an accomplice or he found out afterward."
Lin Jie acknowledged with a sound and asked, "So what about Hu Xinyi now?"
"Since Hu Yuankui has taken all the bla on himself, even for the fake drug production and sale,"
"Under such circumstances, we have no reason to continue holding Hu Xinyi and have to release her."
After hanging up, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel a touch of sentint.
No matter the truth, Hu Yuankui's actions are a form of parental love for their child.
