Nearly five in the afternoon, in a quiet room at the Affiliated Hospital's diagnostic departnt.
A whiteboard lists over twenty symptoms, including proteinuria, hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, epilepsy, spasms, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, vomiting, jaundice, high fever, and rashes.
Lin Jie stands motionless in front of the whiteboard, seemingly lost in thought over these symptoms.
Beside him stands He Yimin.
She looks as if she needs to urgently use the restroom, shifting restlessly and tiptoeing from side to side, yet she dares not make a single sound, fearing to disturb Lin Jie's thoughts.
It's no wonder He Yimin is anxious; these symptoms on the whiteboard belong to a young female patient whose condition is critically dangerous, and she might not make it through.
No one, including her, in the diagnostic departnt can figure out exactly what this patient's illness is.
Without identifying the root cause, targeted treatnt is impossible.
Currently, the hospital can only apply conservative treatnts to delay the damage to the patient's body and organs.
But the situation is dire; Director Luan told her that without effective treatnt, the patient cannot be sustained for long.
Out of options, He Yimin had to bring over their greatest support and hope, Lin Jie.
Seeing Lin Jie still unresponsive, He Yimin can no longer hold back and softly pleads, "Teacher..."
Lin Jie turns, glances at her, and calmly says, "When dealing with major matters, one must have a calm mind, especially us doctors, as we're handling life-and-death situations, we must maintain a quiet mind at all tis."
"The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, do you understand?"
He Yimin truly feels anxious this ti and says, "Teacher, now is not the ti for lectures. Can you please tell , what disease does this patient actually have?"
"If we don't treat her now, it might be too late."
Lin Jie glares at her and says, "We've only looked for two or three minutes. If I could diagnose the illness in that ti, wouldn't you be underestimating Director Luan, underestimating the diagnostic departnt, and underestimating yourself?"
He Yimin replies with an aggrieved expression, "Teacher, I'm not underestimating anyone, I just have too much faith in you."
"Then you're overestimating , my abilities also have limits."
Lin Jie hums and turns his gaze back to the whiteboard, softly saying, "This patient has an unusual number of symptoms. You want to diagnose her illness in such a short ti…"
"Huh..."
He suddenly calls out curiously, picks up a black whiteboard marker, and circles seven or eight symptoms including rash, high fever, spasms, difficulty breathing, and conjunctival injection.
"He Yimin, just looking at these symptoms alone, what do you think caused them?"
He Yimin observes the symptoms, thinks for a mont, and says, "Allergic reaction!"
Lin Jie nods, then uses the whiteboard marker to underline nearly ten symptoms like proteinuria, vomiting, and jaundice, marking them out, and continues asking, "What is the most likely cause of these symptoms?"
"Acute nephritis!"
This ti, He Yimin's response is quick.
Then Lin Jie switches to a red whiteboard marker, marks out four symptoms including hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and softly asks, "Adding these symptoms, what cos to mind?"
He Yimin hesitates, unsure, and says, "It seems like lupus?"
Lin Jie nods lightly with a comndable look, saying, "The patient likely has lupus."
"It's just in an early mild stage, but this sudden allergic reaction triggered a strong immune response, causing acute nephritis, which then led to the full outbreak of other lupus symptoms."
"However, the most prominent skin characteristic of lupus is not evident due to the timing, instead..."
Before he finishes speaking, He Yimin has already rushed out, "Teacher, I'm going to perform an Antinuclear Antibody Test on the patient…"
Lin Jie leaves the Affiliated Hospital and heads to Shuiyun Community.
This is Yu Momo's new apartnt complex.
She has gained so fa now and it's not suitable for her to continue renting her previous single apartnt, so she rented a place in this upscale Shuiyun Community.
Following the address provided by Yu Momo, Lin Jie easily finds the ho she's renting and attends the Wednesday gathering she is hosting.
Upon knocking and entering, Lin Jie realizes he's not too late.
He only sees An Kexin, An Keng, Lin Miao, Ling ngjiao, and Cui Shanshan; the other invitees are still on their way.
Yu Momo happily says, "Brother Jie, this is the house my mom and I just rented, two bedrooms and a living room, what do you think?"
With her introduction, Lin Jie takes a quick tour.
It's a large two-bedroom, the living room is relatively spacious, and the decor is quite stylish.
Lin Jie simply praises, "Not bad, not bad, the decor looks pretty new, just like a new house."
Yu Momo giggles and says, "It's a recomndation from Sister Shanshan, the rent is relatively reasonable. I hope one day I can own my own house in Binhai."
Lin Jie softly says, "That shouldn't be too difficult for you."
"Once your fa rises, perhaps the fee from one performance will be enough to buy a house."
"Brother Jie, a house from one performance, I'd have to reach the level of a big star like Xiaoxiao for that."
Yu Momo exhales with anticipation and says, "I'm not asking for much, just to earn a down paynt in a year."
At this mont, a voice cos from the kitchen, "Momo, co over here quickly!"
"Brother Lin, make yourself at ho, I need to prepare the food now."
Yu Momo was called away, and Lin Jie joined An Kexin, Lin Miao, and others, drinking water and eating fruit with them.
An Kexin leaned closer to Lin Jie and whispered, "Ajie, the CT equipnt is sorted out."
"The equipnt will temporarily be placed at Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital, and after Anlin Hospital is renovated, when we're installing various dical equipnt, it'll be sent to the hospital."
Lin Jie nodded, indicating he understood.
An Kexin continued, "Let tell you another thing, my cousin told that the research on the production process of that generic drug has made significant progress, and now it's ti to install and debug the pilot production line."
Hearing this, Lin Jie's eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying, "Only now are they installing the pilot production line? This speed is a bit slow!"
"Is this still slow?"
An Kexin explained, "My cousin said that this speed made the partner, Longmin Biodical Technology, utterly amazed. They thought it would take at least a year to co up with a viable production process."
Lin Jie thought, compared to the progress with Fu Xiuyuan, this speed is indeed a bit slow.
He stopped worrying about the speed and asked, "During the research process, did you find any suspicious issues?"
An Kexin shook her head, saying, "There shouldn't be any. From the news received so far, everything is going smoothly!"
"Ajie, that guy Qiao Hongzhen is now hiding in Australia, afraid to co back, the guy from the Liu Family beca a vegetable, and the Hu Family is utterly ruined."
"Do you think, if they were really behind this, given the current situation, they might have given up?"
Lin Jie pondered for a mont and said, "Let's hope so..."
In the following twenty minutes or so, Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lili, Yao Siyuan, Chen Qiuhua, Du Feixue, and others showed up one after another.
Moreover, Du Feixue brought along a guest, Shao Deyao.
Shao Deyao bowed to Lin Jie and said, "Expert Lin, I ca here specifically to thank you."
"This is an excellent film project. I've decided to join and have signed a cooperation agreent with Boss Du. I owe a lot of thanks to you, Expert Lin, for the opportunity to make a fortune."
Lin Jie glanced at Du Feixue, saw her nod in confirmation, and said, "Mr. Shao, no need to be so polite. I don't know a thing about film projects; you're the real expert."
"I also want to thank you for recognizing this film project."
"After all, this film project is sowhat adapted from our experiences."
He eagerly asked, "I hope the adaptation isn't too far-fetched. Can you tell who you plan to cast as the male lead?"
Shao Deyao chuckled and said, "That, I can say. My film company has two film contracts with film star Hu Ge, and I hope he can perform in this movie."
"Expert Lin, how do you feel about him portraying you, given his image and acting skills?"
Lin Jie was taken aback, feeling that if enemies were bound to et, they surely would.
He perfunctorily replied, "Not bad, quite good."
"And the female lead?"
"What about the male lead's sister?"
"And Lele, that dog?"
Facing the persistent questions from An Keng, Lin Miao, and others, Du Feixue explained, "Currently, only the male lead is temporarily confird, the other actors haven't been determined yet."
Lin Miao reminded, "Sister Fei Xue, you promised to let Momo audition for the male lead's sister role."
"I won't forget that," Du Feixue replied seriously.
At this point, Shao Deyao stared at Lin Miao and suddenly asked, "Hello, you look familiar. Have we t before? Around March or April, at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital?"
"Back then, my throat wasn't good, and my voice was very hoarse!"
Lin Miao didn't shy away from his gaze, looked directly at Shao Deyao, and earnestly said, "No! I can assure you, this is our first eting."
Shao Deyao looked Lin Miao up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, "I must have mistaken you for soone else."
"Nice to et you, I'm Shao Deyao, a forr patient of Expert Lin."
Lin Miao introduced herself as well, "Lin Miao, Expert Lin's twin sister!"
After Shao Deyao got to know everyone in the room, he once again approached Lin Jie and asked, "Expert Lin, I heard you accepted that ten million reward to awaken the person nad Lulu who's in a vegetative state?"
Lin Jie shook his head, "I just agreed to a director nad Liang Ziyang to give that woman a full dical examination."
"Of course, if there's a chance to awaken her, I won't pass up that ten million."
"However, the possibility isn't very high."
Shao Deyao understood and said, "That Lulu girl is quite unfortunate, I hope she can awaken."
He further introduced, "Director Liang Ziyang holds a certain standing in the industry, and Lulu's mother had successfully invested in several films before her death. If you successfully awaken Lulu and plan to invest in films, it would be quite beneficial."
Lin Jie casually said, "Forget about film investnt, in that area, I'm an amateur among amateurs. If I have spare money, I'd rather invest in the dical field."
Shao Deyao agreed, "That's true. Expert Lin, with your wide network, you certainly don't lack opportunities to make profitable investnts!"
Just then, Yu Momo's voice rang out, "Everyone, the food is ready, please take your seats..."
