The next day at noon, Lin Jie drove to the Zhujia Port Clinic!
As soon as he stepped into the clinic lobby, Luo Shanshan couldn't help but complain, "Lin Jie, what on earth is going on?"
"Yesterday, an elder called and subtly told that the patient thinks we're a small-ti clinic in so corner and assus we might be scamrs, so they turned us down!"
"Then, less than two minutes later, I get calls from An Kexin and you, saying there's a patient coming for surgery today!"
"Now I realize that those two patients are actually the sa person."
"What kind of show are you guys putting on?"
Lin Jie also found out for the first ti that Du Feixue had caused this situation. Without much thought, he casually said, "This patient is just a lunatic; it's not surprising she does sothing outrageous."
"Are they all here?"
Luo Shanshan nodded and said, "An Kexin and a patient nad Du Feixue have been here for over an hour. Anesthesiologist Yang Jinglong is also here! I'll be your surgical assistant, and Zhu Qiang will be the surgical nurse!"
Lin Jie reached the fourth floor, and the people waiting outside the operating room approached him.
An Kexin handed a thick agreent docunt to Lin Jie, saying, "This is the confidentiality agreent signed by Feixue. Don't worry, even if her family is wealthy, they can't afford to breach it!"
Du Feixue kept looking behind Lin Jie, asking, "When will the expert arrive? The agreed ti is almost up."
Lin Jie ignored her, turned to Yang Jinglong, and said, "This surgery requires a small-dose local anesthetic, so we need a highly professional anesthesiologist. I'm sorry for calling you over so hastily!"
Yang Jinglong smiled broadly and said, "Dr. Lin, you are too polite. It's my utmost honor to work for you!"
"Besides, the remuneration for this rushed job is quite generous. I wish for such a good thing every day."
This conversation finally made Du Feixue understand so things!
She incredulously pointed her right index finger at Lin Jie, shouting, "You..."
She then turned to An Kexin, shouting with grief and anger, "An Kexin..."
Lin Jie waved the confidentiality agreent in his hand and smiled, saying, "That's right, I'm the expert who will perform surgery on you. Now you understand why you shouldn't offend , right?"
"Of course, the confidentiality agreent only prohibits you from speaking about this matter, but it doesn't prevent you from leaving! You can choose not to have the surgery, and no one will stop you from leaving here!"
An Kexin knew that at this ti, she had to step in.
She urgently persuaded, "Feixue, I know it's hard to believe, but Lin Jie's dical skills are indeed top-notch internationally!"
"Think about it, for so many years, have I ever deliberately lied to you?"
"What good would it do to deceive you about this?"
Du Feixue's face seed to be brewing a storm, looking sowhat terrifying as she stared at An Kexin, extended her hand, and said grimly, "Car keys!"
An Kexin felt a bit scared by her deanor, involuntarily taking a small step back, but still trying to persuade, "Feixue, just trust this once, I won't harm you!"
Du Feixue's lips twitched a few tis before she continued coldly, "Car keys… don't make ask a third ti!"
An Kexin looked around at the silent Lin Jie, Luo Shanshan, Yang Jinglong, and others and realized that persuading them would probably have the opposite effect. If she didn't hand over the keys, Du Feixue might resort to violence.
She had no choice but to hand the car keys to Du Feixue.
Watching her figure disappear at the stairs, An Kexin looked at Lin Jie and said resentfully, "Couldn't you find an old man with a white beard to pretend to be the expert, then give Feixue a general anesthesia, so there wouldn't be so many issues?"
Lin Jie didn't seem too disappointed, smiling lightly. "We'll use that trick in the future. But for Du Feixue's surgery, I need her to be awake, so that thod won't work!"
"You wouldn't expect her not to recognize just because I put on a mask and a pair of glasses, would you?"
"We're not shooting a historical drama where wearing a veil makes you unrecognizable."
He turned to Yang Jinglong, saying, "Sorry for making you co here for nothing this ti. If you're free this afternoon, I'll treat you to so seafood."
"I'd love that. Seafood has always been my favorite!" Yang Jinglong responded with a cheerful smile.
The roar of an engine could be heard faintly from outside, growing quieter and farther away.
As the group began to stroll downstairs, stepping out from the staircase onto the clinic's first-floor lobby, the engine's roar started growing louder again!
Within An Kexin's delighted anticipation, Du Feixue reappeared before everyone.
"An Kexin, our twenty years of sisterhood grants you one chance!"
"One chance where I unconditionally, without any reason, choose to trust you. I hope you cherish this opportunity well; you should understand the consequences of squandering it!"
"I know, I know!"
With excitent, An Kexin moved forward to hug Du Feixue, shouting, "The result will prove to you that I won't betray our friendship!"
Du Feixue, feeling a bit repulsed, pushed An Kexin away and approached Lin Jie, coldly saying, "You might know, my family is quite rich, and money can accomplish a lot!"
"If you deceive , pretending to be the expert, I'll hire soone to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Thank you for the reminder; talking about money reminds of sothing!"
Lin Jie didn't pay heed to Du Feixue's threat, turning to ask Luo Shanshan, "Has the surgery fee been determined?"
Luo Shanshan looked at Lin Jie, then at An Kexin and Du Feixue, hesitantly saying, "Not yet, because Ms. Du is President An's friend, this surgery fee..."
"Friend is friend, but necessary fees still need to be collected. Haven't you heard? Miss Du here isn't short on money. How about..."
Lin Jie stroked his chin, pretending to ponder for a mont, then said, "In honor of Kexin's sisterly relation, let's offer a discounted price, and the surgery fee will be 500,000."
Du Feixue stared into Lin Jie's eyes and coldly said, "No problem! As long as the surgery is successful, money is not an issue!"
Lin Jie laughed, "I like people like you, who are straightforward!"
"Dr. Yang rushed here amidst a busy schedule, and out of respect for , he won't charge much. Just as a token, maybe a 50,000 overti fee!"
"I'll pay!" Du Feixue said generously!
Standing aside, Yang Jinglong was a little excited, this was equivalent to two or three months of his salary!
Lin Jie continued, "As for my personal expert appearance fee, overti, ntal comfort fee, physical exhaustion fee, nutrition fee, hourly wage..."
"Lin Jie, don't be too excessive!" An Kexin tried to stop him with a mix of amusent and exasperation!
Lin Jie looked at An Kexin, a little aggrieved, saying, "If the surgery fails, I'll be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. I'm risking my life for this surgery, only asking for 500,000 in various fees, isn't that reasonable?"
"I'll pay the 500,000!"
Du Feixue gritted her teeth, saying, "I already said, as long as the surgery is successful, money won't be an issue! I thought you'd ask for millions or even tens of millions!"
Lin Jie scoffed a bit, "I'm not one to ask for excessive amounts. I have strong professional ethics. For your surgery here with , the cap would be 500,000!"
"Let's not waste ti, let's head to the fourth-floor operating room!"
