"Brother, quickly go online and search for news about Xiaoxiao!"

Lin Miao's urgent and excited voice came through the phone. Lin Jie, who was busy in the bathroom, said, "I'm in the bathroom right now, it's not convenient. Just tell me what happened!"

"Stupid brother!"

Lin Miao teased him, unable to hold back. "Xiaoxiao released a video showing a huge diamond ring, with tears in her voice, saying she accepted her boyfriend's proposal. The internet exploded!"

"Brother, is the lucky guy that jerk?"

Lin Jie naturally knew who Lin Miao referred to as that jerk, and said, "That must be it! Han Wenbin helped Xiaoxiao during her most difficult and desperate times, winning her heart is only to be expected."

"Actually, it was you who helped her regain her voice, wasn't it?" Lin Miao said, unconvinced!

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "I don't have a billion-dollar fortune!"

Lin Miao encouraged, "Brother, you're the most amazing in my heart. Although I really like Xiaoxiao and her music, if she wants to marry my brother, I'd still have to think about it."

"Brother, Xiaoxiao's latest song, which she wrote and composed herself, has already surpassed three million downloads online."

"The teacher said this song is a transformation and sublimation after Xiaoxiao went through her lowest point, wind and rain. It's the best song she's performed so far!"

"The teacher also said that Xiaoxiao's voice after recovery is even more infectious and penetrating, surpassing what it was before!"

Lin Jie could imagine how full of pride and urgency Lin Miao felt hearing such praise from Teacher Li Hong, and he laughed, "This is the greatest reward and joy as a doctor!"

"Hey, it's almost lunchtime. Have you found any good restaurants near 798?"

"I've made plans with Tingting, waiting for her outside! Ah, talking with you ruined my appetite, hanging up now..."

Lin Jie came out of the bathroom and found an extra person in the office.

It was a young woman, her hair casually tied into a ponytail, wearing a red long-sleeved sweatshirt on top and tight jeans on the bottom. She looked casually at home but also showed off slender long legs.

Her face, especially, was carefully made up, with a light makeup that seemed subtle but added a touch of beauty.

She was Zhu Heping's daughter, Zhu Zhenzhen!

Seeing Lin Jie come out, Zhu Zhenzhen smiled warmly and lifted the food box in her hand. "Hello, Dr. Lin! We made extra sushi at home today, and my father asked me to bring some over for everyone at the clinic to try!"

Lin Jie took the food box and said, "Thank you, and also thank Dr. Zhu for me!"

Zhu Zhenzhen looked around Lin Jie's office and said, "My father often tells me that Dr. Lin, your medical knowledge is vast as the sea. He gains a lot from each training session; it should be him thanking you instead."

"I just copy content from foreign medical journals and professional books. It's not as exaggerated as Dr. Zhu says!"

Lin Jie casually laughed it off and opened the food box to see neatly arranged rolled sushi, wrapped in nori, seaweed, egg skin, and tofu skin, looking rather delicate!

He praised, "It looks very appetizing. Your cooking skills are quite good. Nowadays, young women who can cook are almost national treasures!"

Zhu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "It's just homemade food. I wasn't sure what flavors you like, so I packed a mix of sour, sweet, spicy, and salty sushi for you."

"Enjoy them, Dr. Lin. You can give the food box back to my father after work, goodbye!"

After saying this, Zhu Zhenzhen left the office without any delay.

Lin Jie's lunch was usually settled at the Zhang Family Seafood Restaurant in Zhujia Port. Occasionally, he would cook noodles, wontons, or dumplings himself.

Now, this box of sushi was enough for his lunch.

The sushi tasted pretty good. Lin Jie leisurely polished off half the box when suddenly the light in front of him dimmed a bit. He looked up to see a middle-aged man walking in!

This man was tall, at least one meter eighty-five, with a commanding appearance, slightly dark complexion, very short strong hair, and temples threaded with white hair, showing the passage of time!

He wore plain casual-style clothing, almost unadorned.

Even Lin Jie, who wasn't familiar with fashion, could see the fabric was unusual, likely tailored by a master, with every detail impeccable.

Lin Jie stood up and asked, "Hello, are you here to see a doctor or someone?"

"I am Luo Wantong, Shanshan's father! You must be Shanshan's friend, Dr. Lin Jie, right? You look much younger than Shanshan described!"

Upon hearing this introduction, Lin Jie's expression showed a hint of surprise!

He knew from Luo Shanshan that her father was coming to Binhai, but didn't expect to meet him so directly.

Lin Jie slightly bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Luo! Shanshan seems to have gone out on an errand, she's not at the clinic!"

Luo Wantong gave Lin Jie a careful look, smiling, "I know, I specifically came to see you!"

"For Shanshan to highly recommend you, Dr. Lin must be outstanding! I've been away from home for over a decade. This return, I won't leave soon, and we'll have more time to get to know each other."

Even after Luo Wantong left, Lin Jie wasn't quite sure what he came for.

Although inexperienced and naive, Lin Jie knew that Luo Wantong's direct visit to the clinic soon after arriving in Binhai wasn't normal, just to meet him.

Lin Jie had dinner at Zhujia Port!

Luo Wantong hosted a banquet for everyone in Zhujia Port!

Even though over a hundred tables were set up along the main street running through Zhujia Port, dozens of chefs all hailed from star-rated hotels in Binhai City.

The ingredients were all top-notch, two-pound lobsters were considered small, and the smallest abalone was a four-head abalone!

Luo Wantong toasted table by table, with Luo Shanshan and Luo Pengyi, and an even younger man and woman following behind pouring wine! When meeting older villagers, Luo Wantong would have a few more words of conversation, sometimes shed a few tears.

Over an hour later, Luo Wantong finally reached Lin Jie's table!

Although at each table, Luo Wantong toasted everyone with a glass, after dozens of tables, he was undoubtedly full of alcohol and quite tipsy.

At Lin Jie's table, mostly peers like Zhu Qiang, Zhang Daya, and others were present.

Everyone stood up to accompany Luo Wantong for this toast, but Lin Jie used tea instead of white or yellow wine!

Just as Lin Jie was about to put down his teacup, the boy behind Luo Wantong, about sixteen or seventeen, jumped out, pointing at Lin Jie's nose and shouted, "Everyone in the village, the elders father respects as grandfathers, drank a glass with him."

"Yet you drink tea, aren't you being too arrogant?"
