When Lin Jie returned ho in the evening, he found that An Kexin, An Keng, and Lin Miao had already returned earlier and prepared dinner.
Seeing the seven or eight dishes of aromatic seafood dishes on the table, Lin Jie smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, it looks, slls, and tastes great. Whose culinary skills are these from a restaurant chef?"
Lin Miao linked arms with Lin Jie and giggled, "It was a bit late today, so Sister Kexin ordered so dishes from Freshness Pavilion Seafood Restaurant."
"When we have ti to rest, we'll personally cook to celebrate for you, brother."
Lin Jie patted Lin Miao's head and said, "No need, it's the thought that counts."
"Besides, your contributions are part of my honor. That night's surgery, you were participants too."
"Brother Jie, I also made a significant contribution," An Keng said sowhat defiantly.
Lin Jie laughed and asked, "Oh, Keng, why don't you tell your contributions, I didn't seem to notice them?"
An Keng huffed, "Many materials on your personal website were provided by ."
"Also, I rallied quite a few classmates and friends to vote for you in the Top Ten Young People selection."
"Keng is telling the truth!"
An Kexin explained, "Ajie, your personal website, a lot of news reports about you, and photos were all provided by Keng."
Lin Jie looked at An Keng, slightly puzzled, and asked, "Keng, why are you collecting my information? Could it be you're overly admiring..."
An Keng blushed slightly, scoffed, and said, "Who's admiring you!"
"I just think that Brother Jie will definitely beco soone significant in the future."
"I'm just gathering so material in advance, so I can write your biography in the future. Although my dream is to beco a great doctor, literature is also one of my major interests."
Lin Jie nodded, agreeing, "That makes sense, that novel of over sixty to seventy thousand words by our Keng sold a million-dollar film copyright."
"Alright, I'll authorize you to write my biography. Prepare the materials well and do a great job in the future."
An Kexin brought out a plate of fruit salad from the kitchen and said, "Ajie, go wash your hands, it's ti to eat..."
After dinner, there were about ten minutes until seven o'clock in the evening.
The group squeezed onto the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and waited for the news broadcast.
"This is the second ti brother has been on the news broadcast!"
Lin Miao said expectantly, "I wonder how long the news will be this ti and how many frontal shots brother will get!"
Lin Jie speculated, "It might just be ten seconds or so."
"On a national level, this surgery isn't a particularly significant event; it might just be ntioned briefly as general news."
At that mont, Lin Jie's phone rang.
Lin Miao picked up the phone from the table, noticed the caller ID, and exclaid, "Brother, brother, it's a call from Germany!"
She handed the phone to Lin Jie, who then started speaking rapidly.
A few minutes later, Lin Jie put down the phone and, seeing Lin Miao and the An sisters staring at him, explained, "It was the dean of Heidelberg University Hospital calling."
"Isn't there an exchange visit with the University Affiliated Hospital next week?"
"The dean specially called to congratulate on the successful surgery."
"He also said he'd send an official invitation and invited to do an academic lecture at the hospital."
"He ntioned that my related expenses for the trip to Germany this ti will be covered by Heidelberg University Hospital."
Lin Miao couldn't help but ask, "Brother, isn't your trip to Germany self-funded this ti?"
Lin Jie considered and said, "According to Dean Cheng, the exchange visit with Heidelberg University Hospital is an annual event; last year they ca to us, this year it's our turn to go."
"So to speak, it's self-funded, but not from personal pockets. Each hospital should cover these expenses."
An Keng chuckled, "So this ans Brother Jie is receiving special treatnt, it's considered an honor."
Just as she finished saying this, Lin Jie's phone rang again.
This ti, An Keng grabbed the phone first, checked the caller ID, and shouted, "Brother, this ti it's a call from the United States."
A few minutes later, Lin Jie ended the call and explained, "It was our old acquaintance Owen Maxwell on the line. Besides congratulating , he also invited on behalf of Massachusetts General Hospital for an academic visit."
An Kexin proudly said, "Ajie, these two calls signify that you're already in the spotlight of internationally renowned dical research institutions."
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll receive quite a few exchange visit invitations from dical institutions in the coming days."
"I also speculate that on the surface, they're inviting you for an exchange visit, but in reality, they might have intentions of recruiting you."
Hearing this, Lin Miao held Lin Jie's hand, sowhat nervous, and said, "Brother..."
Lin Jie gently patted the back of her hand and said with a laugh, "What are you worried about? You're here, Kexin and Keng are here, Anlin Hospital is here, why would I leave."
"I also don't get used to living abroad."
Miaomiao smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother, you're becoming more amazing now. I feel like it's unreal, and I'm worried you might fly away soday."
"No matter how amazing I am, I'm still your twin brother. I won't leave you under any circumstances..."
At that mont, the familiar and thrilling lody played in their ears, and Lin Jie quickly said, "Alright, alright, the news broadcast is starting. Let's watch the news properly."
An Kexin, An Keng, and Miaomiao all adjusted their casual sitting positions and sat upright, as if that was the proper way to show respect.
The news broadcast began with the usual activities of the national leaders.
An Kexin suddenly asked, "Hey, Miaomiao, did you set up the recording?"
"It's set up!"
Even so, Miaomiao got up to check again and confird, "See, it's all set up..."
Ti ticked by, but after fifteen or sixteen minutes, it hadn't aired yet.
An Keng, looking a bit anxious, said worriedly, "The last few minutes are for international news."
"Sis, it's already this late, and it hasn't aired yet."
"Do you think it might have been pulled at the last minute?"
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie, who seed calm, and reminded, "That's possible."
"After all, with such a big country, many important things happen in one day and the news broadcast is only thirty minutes long. It's possible for so news to be pulled at the last minute."
"However, this piece of news will definitely be aired. If not on the news broadcast, then in the 10 PM evening news..."
An Kexin kept talking, all the while listening closely to the sound from the TV, "Let's watch a brief news bulletin now."
"Yesterday, Binhai University Affiliated dical College successfully completed a rare case of conjoined twins' cranial separation..."
"It's airing, it's airing..."
She shook Lin Jie's arm excitedly and said, "Ah Jie, it's aired, it's really aired."
Lin Jie nodded heavily, watching the TV screen.
There appeared so surgical footage, comparisons of the conjoined twins before and after separation, and images of him and other doctors attending the post-operative press conference.
He heard the announcer explaining, "...This successful complex cranial separation surgery represents that our country's dical standards in neurosurgery have reached the world's top level."
The news ended quickly, and An Keng said with so dissatisfaction, "Only twelve or thirteen seconds long, still just a news bulletin. Brother Jie's image appeared only once, and his na was ntioned only once."
An Kexin smiled and put her arm around An Keng's shoulder and said, "It's the news broadcast, just appearing once and having your na ntioned is already very impressive."
"Keng, hopefully, soday, you'll have a chance to be on the news broadcast too."
An Keng said arrogantly, "That's for sure. Sister, Brother Jie, Miaomiao, just wait and see..."
On Binhai TV Station's news broadcast, the news report on this surgery was a bit more detailed, lasting over twenty seconds, and Lin Jie's na was ntioned several tis.
This made Miaomiao and An Keng very happy.
"Brother, look, look, your votes for Top Ten Young People have exceeded five million!"
Lin Jie glanced at the phone screen Miaomiao handed over and saw that the number under his photo had reached over 5.2 million. He glanced again at the numbers for the other candidates, with the highest only in the 600,000s.
"Brother Jie, the followers on your Weibo and WeChat are also skyrocketing. Co on, look..."
"1.97 million..."
With An Keng refreshing repeatedly, the Weibo follower count kept changing, "1.98 million...1.99 million...two million!"
"Yay! It has surpassed two million!"
An Kexin said excitedly, "With this rate of increase, the Weibo numbers might surpass five million in a few days."
"Plus WeChat, that would be ten million."
Her eyes were full of little stars as she embraced Lin Jie, her breath warm and her cheeks blushing, "Ah Jie, that's ten million."
"Our Anlin Hospital is equivalent to having another ga city of ten million as a source of patients."
At this mont, Lin Jie was also excited.
He was just about to give a playful bite on An Kexin's rosy cheek when a phone suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Brother, it's Dean Cheng calling!"
Upon answering the phone, the familiar voice of Cheng Xingguang ca through, "Expert Lin, you've beco everyone's favorite now."
"The hospital's office just inford that they've received invitations through various ans from five dical institutions in the United States, two in the United Kingdom, one in France, one in Germany, and three in Japan."
