Friday morning, Lin Jie's office at the Affiliated Hospital.
After Lin Jie finished talking with Wei Hongyang and saw him off, he poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one go.
Although watching the students grow day by day is very fulfilling, being a responsible teacher is indeed a labor-intensive job.
After half a day of discussions, Lin Jie felt more exhausted than performing a major surgery.
Sotis, Lin Jie couldn't help but wonder.
Why am I so foolish, painstakingly teaching them everything I know?
Wouldn't it be better to be a renowned doctor, performing a few surgeries a month and enjoying life at leisure the rest of the ti?
After pondering for a long ti, Lin Jie realized that he might be doing this out of a sense of guilt to share benefits and compensate.
Relatively speaking, his dical skills ca too easily, originally not belonging to him, which gave him a guilty feeling of stealing others' labor results.
Or maybe, he was inherently a person of high moral character?
At this point, there was a sudden gentle knock on the door of the room.
Lin Jie opened the door, only to find standing outside soone he was very reluctant to see.
It was Jin Lechen, the director of Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital.
Since borrowing equipnt and operating room from Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital last ti, they had no further interactions.
Unexpectedly, this ti the other party actively ca to visit.
Lin Jie recalled sothing and invited Jin Lechen into the office to sit, asking, "Director Jin, are you here this ti to use that examination voucher and have check your health?"
Jin Lechen chuckled and said, "Such a precious examination voucher, how could I use it so casually?"
"I'm here to thank you on behalf of my son, so he could achieve his wish."
Lin Jie was sowhat puzzled and asked, "Director Jin, I'm not sure I understand?"
Jin Lechen excitedly said, "Expert Lin, the list for Binhai University dical School's targeted class was published on the official website. My son, unworthy as he is, is one of the thirty students."
Damn it, shit…
Lin Jie couldn't help but curse a few tis in his heart.
He had always wanted to stay far away from Jin Lechen, hoping never to cross paths again, yet unexpectedly, he got entangled because of his student.
Lin Jie now regretted it, thinking he shouldn't have selected students based on luck back then.
If he had looked into the students' backgrounds, he would have certainly excluded Jin Lechen's son.
"My son is nad Lu Baiyang, taking my ex-wife's surna."
Jin Lechen sighed with so sadness and said, "Perhaps due to my influence, he has a keen interest in dicine, but he always holds so complaints against , barely interacting, and doesn't even greet as 'Dad' when we et."
"However, according to my ex-wife, you, Expert Lin, are his idol, and he has always admired you greatly."
"This ti, he was fortunate to beco your student and is certainly over the moon."
Given the situation, nothing could be done to change the outco, and Lin Jie would not deliberately exclude Lu Baiyang now.
Perhaps this was a kind of fate in the unseen world.
Lin Jie said perfunctorily, "Though there's an elent of luck, standing out from over thirty thousand applicants to be one of thirty, Lu Baiyang's excellence is undeniable."
"That trait he gets from his mom, not from !"
Despite saying so, Jin Lechen's face was full of pride and satisfaction.
Lin Jie glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, "Director Jin, are you here just regarding Lu Baiyang?"
The implication was clear: if you have nothing else, please say goodbye swiftly; I'm a busy person and my ti is valuable.
But Jin Lechen didn't pick up on this and smiled, "Expert Lin, there is one more small matter!"
"Currently, Kangning Hospital is in turmoil, and people are uneasy. They have stopped admitting new patients, and the existing inpatients are gradually being transferred to other hospitals."
"I've heard that to raise funds for the examination and treatnt fees for those who took fake dicines, as well as subsequent compensations, Kangning Hospital plans to sell so large dical equipnt."
"I wonder if Expert Lin and Anlin Hospital are interested in the high-precision CT scanner at Kangning Hospital?"
"Is this news true?"
Although Lin Jie asked, he believed in his heart that the news was likely true.
Since the Hu Family decided to transfer Kangning Hospital, and the Luo Family wanted to repurpose the land for other use.
The Wantong Group, with its financial might, should have already equipped Phoenix Mountain Hospital with a full set of brand-new dical equipnt, and naturally wouldn't need Kangning Hospital's second-hand equipnt.
Jin Lechen nodded, "This matter will not be made public by Kangning Hospital, but it is indeed true. It was leaked by a few reliable people from Kangning Hospital."
Lin Jie smiled, "If the price is right, we certainly have an interest."
Jin Lechen stood up and said, "That CT scanner will only reach its full potential in your hands, Expert Lin."
"Expert Lin, I will ensure this matter is fully arranged, securing that equipnt for Anlin Hospital at the most reasonable price…"
After Jin Lechen left, Lin Jie called An Kexin to discuss the matter.
"Secretly selling dical equipnt?"
An Kexin mused, "After the counterfeit drug incident, followed by Hu Yuankui hiring a hitman, the Hu Family really can't stay in Binhai anymore. They're probably going to sell the hospital and move abroad."
"Selling off dical equipnt for cash, it seems the Hu Family must have learned about Luo Wantong's plans after taking over Kangning Hospital."
Lin Jie asked, "Did Mr. Fu fail to stop the Kangning Hospital land from being repurposed?"
"It's still unclear. The dealings in their field are hard for us to get wind of."
An Kexin analyzed, "From the perspective of the entire Binhai City, six or seven hospitals have been added to the Phoenix Mountain District, so closing one Kangning Hospital seems not a big deal."
"Building a skyscraper on the original site would be at least a hundred billion investnt. From the governnt's perspective on economic developnt, it would be a great thing."
"Overall, I believe Luo Wantong's plan is likely to succeed, and it's difficult for Mr. Fu to prevent it."
This behind-the-scenes ga was not sothing Lin Jie should be concerned about, nor could he worry about it.
He asked, "Kexin, getting that set of high-precision CT scanners shouldn't be a problem for us, right?"
"Even a second-hand set of equipnt like that, taking advantage of the situation, would probably cost at least fifteen million."
"This money…"
An Kexin pondered for a mont and said, "I'll discuss with my father. We should be able to get it together if we grit our teeth."
"Fortunately, we just acquired a Northeast Market, and future inco is promising. It counts as a good bargain this ti…"
Lin Jie hung up the phone and rubbed his brow.
From An Kexin's reaction, the An Family's financial situation seed very tight.
It's just that most of his own money was lent out last ti when the An Family expanded the production scale of the dical equipnt factory, and the remaining one or two million wouldn't be of much help.
Mortgage the house? Take a loan?
These two thods were not ones Lin Jie was willing to use.
Now he rather hoped a wealthy terminal patient would co to him, throw out a blank check, and tell him grandly, a million for a year, how much he wants depends on how many years of life he can extend.
Lin Jie sighed, curbing this reverie.
It's not that there is a shortage of wealthy people willing to pay for ti, but eting one is not so easy.
"Knock knock…"
With a gentle knock, a little head peeked in through the door crack, and seeing Lin Jie, she smiled and asked, "Teacher, may I co in?"
Seeing it was Xue Linlin, Lin Jie lightly waved her in and asked, "What's up?"
Xue Linlin approached and brought her hand out from behind her back, saying, "Teacher, I brought you lunch."
"I made it this morning at ho, and the dishes were just reheated in the microwave."
Lin Jie saw two transparent lunchboxes in Xue Linlin's hands, one containing seaweed sushi, the other with two dishes, braised pork ribs and mushrooms with greens.
"Did you make these yourself?" Lin Jie was a bit skeptical.
Xue Linlin nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I made them myself."
"I learned recently from my mom and practiced several tis. Mom even said I've mastered seventy percent of her skills."
Lin Jie took the two lunchboxes, opened them, and took a whiff; the sll was quite nice.
"Slls pretty good!"
Looking at Xue Linlin's rosy cheeks, Lin Jie thought for a mont and said softly, "Xue Linlin, I have so news for you. My girlfriend and I have set a wedding date for the end of July this year."
"Oh, congratulations, Teacher…"
Mid-sentence, Xue Linlin realized what Lin Jie ant, blushed even more, and explained, "Teacher, please don't misunderstand . I admire you, only your dical skills, not you personally in any other way."
Lin Jie exaggeratedly let out a breath and said, relieved, "Then I'm relieved."
Seeing Lin Jie still looking at her, Xue Linlin couldn't help but say, "Teacher, try the dishes. How do they taste?"
"Do they suit your taste?"
Lin Jie gestured at her and asked, "Xue Linlin, surely you don't expect to eat with my hands? Do you have chopsticks or a spoon?"
"Oh, I forgot!"
Xue Linlin was flustered and exclaid, "I'll go get a pair from the dining hall…"
"No need!"
Lin Jie stopped the turning-to-run Xue Linlin, and under her gaze, he took out two fresh A4 papers, tore one sheet in half, and rolled each into a solid paper stick.
Handing the two solid paper sticks to Xue Linlin, Lin Jie said softly, "Use these as chopsticks."
"You probably haven't eaten either, right? Let's eat together!"
Looking at the solid paper sticks in her hand, Xue Linlin giggled and said, "This is indeed a good idea..."
