In the morning, Lin Jie arrived at the clinic office!

As usual, Zhang Daya brewed him a cup of tea, but instead of leaving after a simple greeting like she normally did, she took a cloth and slowly began wiping the treatment chair.

Lin Jie took a sip of tea and asked softly, "Daya, is there something you want to say to me?"

It seemed Zhang Daya had been waiting for him to ask that. She moved a bit closer to Lin Jie and whispered, "Dr. Lin, do you know how to perform cosmetic surgery?"

Lin Jie gave her a once-over and chuckled, "What, do you have a boyfriend? Are you unhappy with some part of yourself? But you have quite good-looking features, you don't need cosmetic surgery!"

Zhang Daya touched her face, giggled, and said, "Really? I always felt my nose bridge was a little flat. Dr. Lin, it's not that I want surgery; it's one of my girlfriends. And she's not looking to change her face, it's her body."

"Dr. Lin, is this kind of cosmetic surgery something you can do?"

"Cosmetic surgery is a branch of surgery, requiring nothing more than a surgeon with good technique and a keen aesthetic eye. For me, it's not a big challenge!"

Lin Jie confidently said, "I can tell you, if I were to switch careers to become a cosmetic surgeon, all the cosmetic hospitals in Binhai would be out of business!"

Zhang Daya clapped her hands excitedly, saying, "That's great! Dr. Lin, one of my friends, Xu Ling, was burned on her lower abdomen and thigh as a child, leaving a large scar."

"She's at the age to find a boyfriend and get married, so she's thinking about getting that scar removed."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Have her come by, I need to see for myself!"

Zhang Daya clearly had it all arranged; after a phone call, a young girl with a ponytail and an elegant appearance arrived at Lin Jie's office in less than five minutes.

Urged and encouraged by Zhang Daya, Xu Ling blushingly removed her jeans.

Lin Jie found that on Xu Ling's left abdomen to her thigh, there was a patch of contracture scars and protruding scars, roughly in an elongated oval shape about twenty centimeters long and six to seven centimeters wide at its widest point.

After the examination, Lin Jie signaled Xu Ling to put her pants back on and said, "There's a way to perfectly remove your burn scars, which is to implant a skin tissue expander under the skin around the burn area!"

"This tissue expander..."

Lin Jie struggled to explain, and there wasn't a physical example in the clinic, but fortunately, there was the internet!

He searched online for pictures of a tissue expander and explained, "It's essentially a silicone-controlled water inflating bag, which is surgically implanted beneath the normal skin tissue, and then intermittently injected with fluid into the bag to increase the expander's volume, thereby putting pressure on the overlying skin tissue."

"In such cases, the expansion of the bag causes the skin tissue and epidermal cells to divide and proliferate, and the gaps between cells to widen, thus increasing the skin area!"

"At that time, I would surgically remove the contracture skin and protruding scar tissue in the burned area and cover it with the newly expanded skin. After recovery, there would be no visible scars."

Xu Ling asked softly, "Will it really not be noticeable after the surgery, Dr. Lin?"

Lin Jie gently smiled and said, "I've examined it; the burn on your lower abdomen is relatively light, the muscle tissue damage under the skin is minimal, and the burn area isn't very large. This is considered a very minor cosmetic surgery."

"I can assure you, unless your future husband looks very closely, he won't notice any signs of cosmetic surgery."

Xu Ling blushed even more and asked, "How long will it take to recover, and how much will the surgery cost?"

"Because the expander takes a considerable time to stretch the skin, it will take about two months, plus the surgery, the entire process will take about three months! As for the cost..."

Lin Jie looked at Zhang Daya and said, "You'll need to ask Dr. Luo about that. I'm not clear on the specific surgical fees, nor do I know if this cosmetic surgery can be covered under the '100, 1000' plan!"

"Thank you, Dr. Lin. We'll go ask Shanshan now!" Saying that, Zhang Daya dragged Xu Ling and ran out.

A few minutes later, Luo Shanshan appeared in Lin Jie's office.

"Xu Ling's burn correction falls within the clinic's welfare scope, but for those who want to enhance their looks, like getting double eyelids or breast augmentation, the clinic will charge the full amount."

After making this decision, Luo Shanshan added, "For the surgical tools and special items needed for this cosmetic surgery, please make a list, and I'll have Zhang Daya make the purchases."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "I'll write the list in a bit!"

Luo Shanshan sighed suddenly and said, "Yesterday I went to Baihui Mall to specially buy some clothes and chatted with that Zhang Xiaoxiao for a while. I didn't really see any outstanding qualities in her."

Lin Jie, a bit displeased, said, "That's a question you should ask your brother. He will tell you what qualities Xiaoxiao has and what particularly attracts him!"

Luo Shanshan gave Lin Jie a glance and huffed, "You stand up for your Xiaoxiao, and naturally, I stand up for my brother. I've already arranged to have dinner with him tonight and will definitely get to the bottom of it."

"Lin Jie, there's another serious matter I need to tell you!"

She sat on the treatment chair and said, "You know the Phoenix Mountain Mental Hospital in the West Suburb of Binhai City, right?"

Lin Jie was already quite familiar with this hospital and said cautiously, "I know. Why are you suddenly bringing it up?"

Luo Shanshan explained, "Father decided to shift the focus of his business back to the domestic market. He's planning to buy Phoenix Mountain Hospital and the surrounding land to develop a large real estate project."

"His plan is to transform the Phoenix Mountain Mental Hospital into a comprehensive hospital. At that time, you can work there. The Zhujia Port clinic is too small; you can't fully utilize your skills!"

Damn, isn't this basically what I told An Kexin? Additionally, Lin Jie knew that the An Family was actively working on acquiring Phoenix Mountain Hospital too.

Lin Jie felt a headache coming. If he really had to pick a side, between An Kexin and Luo Shanshan, he'd definitely choose An Kexin's side.

He asked with concern, "Have you guys already acquired Phoenix Mountain Hospital?"

Luo Shanshan shook her head and said, "Not yet. My father's people are in talks with the hospital. He'll be coming back from abroad soon to personally push the project forward."

Thinking of the future agreement with An Kexin, Lin Jie reminded Luo Shanshan, "Shanshan, just because I'm currently working at the clinic doesn't mean I'll be here forever. I haven't sold myself to you!"

Luo Shanshan was taken aback, then laughed, "Of course, you're a big shot; you can come and go as you please; no one would dare say otherwise!"

Lin Jie chuckled too, refraining from continuing that topic. He tentatively asked, "Would you consider your father's company to be foreign-funded? Foreign investments generally choose a local partner. Do you know who your father's partner is?"

Luo Shanshan shook her head and said, "I'm not interested in that area and really don't know."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, An Kexin's An Family is also looking to buy Phoenix Mountain Hospital. I'm just wondering if there might be a possibility for cooperation between you two."
