"This is Eight-Treasure Health Soup!"

In the quiet private room, Han Wenbin enthusiastically introduced each person's crock pot to Lin Jie and An Kexin.

"This is made with abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, matsutake mushrooms, turtle skirt, tripe tip, brachialis mushrooms, beef tendon, and cordyceps flowers, cooked with a secret recipe of slow-cooked broth for twelve hours. It's the signature and kung fu soup here, available in limited quantities every day!"

"For men, drinking this soup strengthens the kidneys and body, expels illness and prolongs life. For women, it nourishes yin, dispels cold, beautifies the complexion. It's quite good, try it!"

Facing the suddenly enthusiastic Han Wenbin, Lin Jie felt a bit unaccustomed and bluntly said, "Han Wenbin, you wouldn't have invited us over just to drink soup, would you? If there's anything, just say it directly!"

"Given our past relationship, don't you think it's a bit late to be making friendships now?"

Han Wenbin paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed lightly and said, "You're right, I also find it awkward to speak to you like this, so I'll cut to the chase!"

"Lin Jie, I need you to introduce me to that mysterious expert at your clinic."

Lin Jie frowned and said, "Han Wenbin, with your resources, spending some cost, you could even meet some well-known international medical experts."

"Just state your real purpose, are you trying to target Luo Shanshan?"

Han Wenbin shook his head and said, "Luo Shanshan and I now have no conflicts. Why would I target her? But due to some past issues, if I personally asked her for help, she'd certainly refuse, so I want to ask you for help!"

After thinking for a bit, Han Wenbin decided to lay it all out and said, "You must know the singer Xiaoxiao, she was previously poisoned out of jealousy and envy!"

An Kexin was shocked and exclaimed, "Poisoned?"

Han Wenbin nodded and said, "It's true. However, the poison is a hormone primarily causing chronic irritation to the throat, not life-threatening. By the time it was discovered, Xiaoxiao had unwittingly ingested it for some time."

At this point, Han Wenbin looked deeply at Lin Jie and continued, "Although Xiaoxiao stopped taking it and took some emergency medical precautions, the side effects of the hormone have started to manifest."

"Xiaoxiao's vocal cords have developed some polyp growths, making her voice break when hitting high notes. This is the real reason why Xiaoxiao had to cancel the last few concerts."

While feeling sorry for Xiaoxiao, Lin Jie understood the reason for his invitation.

These vocal cord polyp growths can't be controlled or eliminated with medication and can only be addressed surgically. Han Wenbin was eyeing that expert, who is none other than himself.

"Xiaoxiao has consulted several famous doctors, and they all believe removing the growths is easy, but they cannot guarantee that Xiaoxiao's voice will remain unchanged."

Han Wenbin said heavily, "You must understand, a large part of Xiaoxiao's fame comes from her exceptionally pleasant voice."

"If her vocal quality changes, how devastating would that be for her."

"I'm aware of what Du Feixue's voice was like before, and I never expected that, after surgery and repair by that expert, she would gain a voice like heavenly music. Perhaps he could help Xiaoxiao too."

He stared at Lin Jie and tempted, "As long as you introduce this mysterious expert, regardless of success or failure, I'll give you a reward of one million."

Unexpectedly, this guy was so attentive to Xiaoxiao, making a one million promise without a second thought.

Lin Jie also felt sympathy for Xiaoxiao and candidly said, "Han Wenbin, you don't need to waste that million."

"I can tell you clearly, that expert can't give you the answer you want. You want to guarantee that Xiaoxiao's vocal quality remains completely unchanged, he can't do that, probably no one can."

Han Wenbin was obviously unconvinced by Lin Jie's words and retorted, "If Du Feixue's terrible voice can be repaired to sound like heavenly music, then Xiaoxiao's minor polyp removal should be much easier!"

Lin Jie waved his hand and explained, "You might not understand, but these are two different concepts."

"Let me give you an example, Du Feixue's situation is like rebuilding on a pile of ruins, whatever the building turns out like, it will be better than before. Her excellent voice relied on the expert's superb skill and a bit of luck."

"Xiaoxiao's current situation is more like repairing a delicate painting."

"No matter how skilled and attentive the restorer is, repair is repair, wanting it to be completely indistinguishable from the original is impossible."

Han Wenbin pondered for a moment, nodded with a heavy expression, and said, "I understand the reasoning you stated. But since you're not that expert, I'd still hope that the expert could personally take a look at Xiaoxiao's situation."

Lin Jie glanced at An Kexin, who pretended to know nothing, and helplessly said, "Han Wenbin, you shouldn't overestimate the capabilities of this mysterious expert too much."

"His abilities, no matter how high, are not limitless, how advanced could they be?"

"With Xiaoxiao's and your status, the medical experts you've consulted must be quite prestigious as well. I am sure you've asked them, as long as the vocal cords are cut, the vocal quality will inevitably have some changes."

Speaking of this, he advised, "Han Wenbin, why are you so insistent that the vocal quality can't change at all?"

"In the music industry, there are several singers famous for their hoarse voices. In Xiaoxiao's current situation, even if her voice changes, it won't be significantly different in essence."

"Unless it's a particularly professional insider, fans probably won't notice."

Han Wenbin showed a helpless smile, sighed, and said, "Xiaoxiao seeks perfection to some extent, and she is worried that the surgery will significantly alter her voice quality!"

Upon saying this, he stood up and said, "The expense for this private room will be on my account, feel free!"

After saying this, Han Wenbin left directly.

As the door of the private room closed, Lin Jie sighed, "I didn't expect this brat to really have a special kind of attentiveness toward Xiaoxiao, it seems even jerks can have true feelings."

An Kexin just smiled and said, "As long as someone is human, no matter how bad, they always have someone or something they care about."

"I suspect that Xiaoxiao and Han Wenbin might very well be elementary and middle school classmates. I know their elementary and middle schools were the same school."

"Feelings formed during that period are always the purest."

The two sighed for a moment, then began their attack on the Eight-Treasure Health Soup in front of them.

After the wine party, a pot of health and stomach-nourishing soup really felt good, and the soup was indeed very delicious.

After finishing, Lin Jie patted his small belly, called in the waiter, and said, "Is it possible to charge everything in this private room on the account?"

The waiter bowed slightly, smiled, and said, "Yes, feel free to consume, you two!"

Lin Jie smiled happily and said, "Then please pack a serving of Eight-Treasure Health Soup for me, my sister hasn't tasted such delicious soup yet."

"What about you, Kexin?"

An Kexin chuckled, feeling that the thrifty Lin Jie was very cute, and joined in saying, "Hmm, pack a serving for me too, I have a sister as well!"
