As soon as An Kexin left the bedroom, she heard the cheerful voices of several n.
As she reached the stairway, she saw her uncle Chen Shi, Dean Yuan Guangxi of the dical College, along with Cheng Xingguang, Lei Jun, Jiang Hao, Guan Yifan, and other doctors from the University Affiliated Hospital, all chatting and drinking tea in the living room.
The two little ones, Lin Miao and An Keng, had turned into busy waiters, pouring tea and water with great diligence.
An Kexin descended the stairs warmly greeting everyone and naturally took a seat beside Lin Jie.
"President An, we were just talking about the Lin Jie dical Award!"
Yuan Guangxi happily said, "Currently, the university press has transferred nearly six million in book sales profits into a special school bank account."
"After the winter break, the school will officially announce the 'Lin Jie dical Award' to the entire school through official notices and announcents."
"The announcent will also include details of the award settings and the nomination process."
He further explained, "The awards are divided into three categories: one for research and teaching staff, three for doctoral and master's students, and ten for undergraduate students."
"Nominees for the awards will be selected through a combination of recomndations and self-nominations."
"Counselors and course instructors will recomnd thirty undergraduate candidates. The college professors will jointly recomnd three research staff candidates and nine doctoral and master's candidates."
"The candidate list will be displayed to the entire school for two weeks during which individual self-nominations are accepted."
"Finally, the award committee will determine the winners through a closed discussion."
Yuan Guangxi spoke softly, "The first dical award selection will be conducted this year."
"The school and the dical College place great importance on building this dical award into a prestigious and influential authoritative dical award in the country."
"Dean Yuan deserves credit for this!"
An Kexin politely added, "We all hope this dical award will beco increasingly successful, and beco an important award dostically and even internationally."
"I have absolute confidence in that!"
Cheng Xingguang, picking up the conversation, looked at Lin Jie and said seriously, "What Expert Lin lacks mainly is background and experience."
"With ti, Expert Lin will definitely achieve more in the dical field and will gain more recognition from peers worldwide."
"Naturally, the influence of this dical award will rise accordingly."
Lin Jie waved his hand modestly, saying, "Dean Cheng, there's no need to praise like that."
"Ultimately, whether this dical award is recognized by more of my peers does not depend on how renowned I am."
"Rather..."
He continued solemnly, "It depends on how much and how highly the awardees recognized by this award can achieve in the future."
"Therefore, for this award to stand tall and beco a recognized honor and standard, it requires not just years, but decades of effort and persistence."
"I hope there will be a threshold for the award selection criteria, and we should rather have fewer but higher quality winners."
Yuan Guangxi, Cheng Xingguang, and Chen Shi all nodded in agreent, unanimously acknowledging that cultivating this dical award is a long-term project like nurturing talent over ten, or even a hundred years.
At the sa ti, everyone understood one thing.
If, in the future, Lin Jie's reputation could increase further, enough to beco a recognized dical authority worldwide.
Or if he could make further advancents, producing dical achievents that benefit the current age or even redefine an era, becoming a figure comparable to the world's greatest scientists.
Then, this dical award would naturally beco famous globally and highly regarded by the public.
Everyone looked at Lin Jie, pondering whether this dical award would ultimately be known beyond the campus and beco recognized dostically and internationally by the laurels of the awardees or because of Lin Jie himself?
They couldn't deny the answer was obvious.
Overall, the likelihood that this dical award would be recognized because of Lin Jie seed greater.
The group leisurely chatted about so lighthearted topics related to dicine or hospitals.
Lin Jie, noticing that the sun was setting outside and it was nearing dinnerti, saw that the group wasn't showing any intention of leaving, so he casually invited them to stay for dinner.
Lin Jie was just being polite, a re formality.
After all, today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so one would expect to go ho and have dinner with family. His invitation was more like the traditional thod of offering tea as a subtle hint for guests to leave.
Unexpectedly, these guys shalessly agreed to stay for a al.
Even more to Lin Jie's surprise, these guys insisted on cooking for themselves, saying food made by one's own hand tastes best.
However, Lin Jie ended up in a predicant.
The valuable New Year goods he had at ho, which he had specially saved, beca victim to disaster as these seasoned guys discovered them.
"Hey, co over and look at this, what is it?"
Cheng Xingguang, as if he found a treasure, showed off sothing he held in his hand and exclaid excitedly, "This is a bear paw, a real bear paw! And it's a pair!"
"Expert Lin, this can't be wild, right?"
Lin Jie replied gloomily, "How could it be wild? It's from a friend in the Northeast who raised it."
"This piece of at doesn't look like pork, lamb, or beef! Expert Lin, what kind of at is it, donkey or wild boar?"
Lin Jie glanced at the darker piece of at in Lei Jun's hand and said helplessly, "That's a piece of venison."
"Co quick, I also found a piece of crocodile at..."
At that mont, there was a dull thud.
Lin Jie followed the sound and quickly turned his head to see Chen Shi opening a bottle of red wine.
Chen Shi brought the wine bottle to his nose, took a whiff, closed his eyes slightly, and said with a face of bliss, "Twenty years aged, indeed it slls rich and llow."
"It's been breathing for about an hour and a half, so it should be just right."
Looking at the few people still rummaging around, Lin Jie angrily said, "You guys don't seem like you're here to celebrate the New Year."
"Did you all plan this together to co here and rob ?"
Yuan Guangxi laughed and said, "Old Cheng said you must have good stuff here. Sure enough."
Feeling sorry, Lin Jie clung to a glimr of hope and said, "These wild ats, although they're great, if not cooked well, can be quite unpalatable."
"I was actually planning to hire a chef skilled in cooking wild ga in a few days to prepare them properly."
"At that ti, I would invite everyone to co and have a taste together, how about it?"
Cheng Xingguang rolled up his sleeves and confidently said, "Expert Lin, you can rest assured about that. As for wild ga, not only can I eat it well, but I can also cook it quite skillfully. I'm quite the expert."
"And I'm not bragging when I say that if I weren't working as a dean, and instead opened a wild ga restaurant, it'd be absolutely packed with custors."
Seeing hope shatter, Lin Jie went over to An Kexin and Lin Miao, gritting his teeth, and said, "Call Uncle An, as well as Chen Qiuhua, Ling ngjiao, Yu Momo, and everyone else in Binhai, and invite them over for dinner."
"These rare delicacies shouldn't just be filling their stomachs."
"Yes, we can't let them have it all for cheap," Lin Miao said indignantly.
An Kexin stifled a laugh and said, "I'll call Dad right away..."
The process of preparing wild ga is quite tedious and ti-consuming.
As Cheng Xingguang and others were enthusiastically making dinner, those who received the invitation, hearing there'd be delicacies like bear paw, venison, and crocodile at, rushed over despite it being the first day of the New Year.
Besides those who arrived first, like An Weize, Chen Qiuhua, Du Feixue, Ling ngjiao, and others, without receiving notice, sohow getting wind of it, Fang Huanru and her father, Fang Lianggong, also ca along.
"Teacher, I hope you don't mind us showing up uninvited?"
Lin Jie took the gift, a bottle of red wine, from Fang Huanru and said, "One more doesn't make a difference, no worries."
"Why didn't you go skiing? I know so folks went with Tian Xiangyu to that Ski Resort to have fun!"
Fang Huanru shook her head and said, "I'm afraid of the cold and I don't know how to ski, so I won't go to the freezing North to join in."
"Brother Jie, Happy New Year!"
Seeing Yu Momo approaching with Lin Miao, full of energy, Lin Jie smiled and said, "And a Happy New Year to you too!"
"I saw your performance at the Binhai Spring Festival Gala, the song was lovely, and the look was quite stunning too, quite impressive."
Yu Momo said proudly, "Thank you! That's what many people said."
"On the morning of the third, Binhai TV Station is having a New Year variety show, and I'll be performing too. Brother Jie, make sure to watch, okay?"
Lin Jie softly said, "Yeah, I'll rember..."
He chatted casually with everyone until dinner was ready, close to 8 PM.
As they sat down, Lin Jie and Cheng Xingguang and the others ford two distinctly divided groups.
Lin Jie and An Kexin sat at opposite ends of the long table, and the line connecting them marked the boundary; one side was for the guys, the other for the girls, creating quite a harmonious scene...
Cheng Xingguang's culinary skills were indeed not just boasts.
He managed to remove any gay flavors, and each dish had its own unique taste.
Unlike so dishes where all at dishes tasted more or less the sa.
Seeing Lin Jie nodding frequently while eating, Cheng Xingguang proudly said, "Expert Lin, I wasn't just bragging about my wild ga cooking, right?"
"Whenever you get any good ga in the future, just let know, and I'll be there at your call."
Lin Jie laughed, "Alright, I'll definitely inform you then, you chef who's held back by your hospital managent duties!"
He thought of soone and said, "Dean Cheng, you and Doctor Lu Kaicheng would definitely have a lot to talk about."
"He's also a cooking enthusiast who almost beca a chef. Unfortunately, he's gone ho for this Spring Festival; otherwise, you two could have exchanged ideas this ti."
"There'll be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Cheng Xingguang chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, I have great news to tell you!"
"Expert Lin, you've been nominated for the top ten young talents of Binhai City, and it's likely that this ti you'll be awarded this honor."
