Night fell, in the chairman's office of Weize Building!

An Weize sat opposite a slightly overweight middle-aged man, while An Kexin skillfully brewed a cup of tea and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the cup, sipped it, and sighed, "The tea is good, but with the incident involving my daughter and son-in-law, I can't find the peace of mind to enjoy it. It's a shame to waste my niece's good intentions!"

This man was the chairman of Shengfeng Group, Du Jianyan, father-in-law of Li Donghai. He put down the cup and asked, "Brother Weize, I heard you plan to build a hospital yourself, is it true?"

An Weize also took the tea handed to him by An Kexin, drank a sip, and said, "It's true!"

"A few months ago, I wasn't feeling well, but luckily, I recovered after surgery. I also took the opportunity to reorganize the company affairs and equity. Since I have a few good years left, I need to fulfill the long-standing wish of the An Family, so I won't burden Kexin and the others anymore."

Du Jianyan nodded and said, "The area around Phoenix Mountain, the location and environment are both good, and the area available for development is quite large!"

"The transfer of Phoenix Mountain Hospital is a situation where a single move affects the whole game. It has suddenly brought the Phoenix Mountain District into the perspective of several real estate tycoons and government officials."

"The hospital and the nearby plots of land are the core essence of the area. Our Shengfeng Group wants to acquire it."

"Phoenix Mountain Hospital, the government allows its transfer and restructuring, but won't allow the hospital's functions to disappear. We at Shengfeng only do real estate development and lack experience in hospital management!"

"Brother Weize, how about we cooperate? Phoenix Mountain Hospital will be yours, and the surrounding plots will go to Shengfeng!"

An Weize drank another sip of tea and said softly, "Luo Wantong's strong return this time makes him determined to get that land. Han Real Estate is also committed to acquiring it, aiming to create another upscale residential area like Nanshan Villa District!"

"As far as I know, there are also a few groups from the Capital City and other provinces coveting it eagerly!"

"If we cooperate, can we be sure to win it?"

An Weize said sincerely, "My time is valuable and can't be wasted anymore. So this time, I'm planning to take a small plot of land in a less ideal location in the Phoenix Mountain District to build the hospital."

He confidently said, "Once the hospital is competent and famous, it will naturally become a new landmark, attracting popularity. Location doesn't need to be too demanding."

Du Jianyan also knew of An Weize's situation; rumors had it he only had five to six years left to live.

Thus, Du Jianyan had no doubts about his explanation. Moreover, the competitors this time were formidable, and with his recent family issues, Du Jianyan wasn't entirely confident he would succeed.

Limin Hospital is also a good partner. Thinking of this, Du Jianyan comforted, "Blessed people naturally have their fortune. In a few years, medicine is bound to make great strides."

"Brother Weize, you are destined to live to a ripe old age."

"Thank you for your kind words!" An Weize responded with calm sincerity.

Du Jianyan drank the tea in his cup in one go and said, "I have another matter for which I came today: I want to ask about Lin Jie..."

"Uncle Du, let me handle this, as I'm more familiar with Lin Jie!"

An Kexin took over the conversation and began to narrate the life stories of Lin Jie and Lin Miao. She continued, "The life experiences of Lin Jie and Lin Miao evoke sympathy; the two of them practically grew up relying on each other!"

"Lin Miao even sold their house that shielded them from the storm to pay for Lin Jie's heart transplant surgery! So, you can imagine how aggravated Lin Jie felt after Lin Miao's incident."

Du Jianyan nodded, sighed, and said, "Hearing this from you helps me understand why he refuses to accept our apology."

"I just don't quite understand why he didn't seek justice at the time. Instead, he bore the grievance quietly."

An Kexin smirked slightly and said, "Uncle Du, given your daughter and son-in-law's preparations, do you think two powerless, penniless siblings could seek justice?"

"The Lin siblings, having no support, learned early on the wisdom of avoiding trouble they couldn't handle!"

This comment left Du Jianyan somewhat embarrassed.

He hadn't expected that An Kexin would know all about Li Donghai's remorseful words and sighed with self-reproach, "Unfortunate family, unfortunate family! Their illness might truly be a result of karmic cycles."

He grandiosely stated, "But the wrongdoings are irreversible now."

"Since the Lin siblings are unwilling to forgive, we cannot force them to accept our apology. We won't disturb their lives any longer."

Having settled both matters, Du Jianyan left without further delay.

After seeing him off, An Kexin returned, ready to tidy up the tea set, but was stopped by An Weize, who said angrily, "Don't bother, just throw it away. This Du Jianyan makes me sick."

"He talks of apologies but has no genuine actions or sincerity. With such a daughter and son-in-law, I'm not the least bit surprised."

An Kexin smiled in agreement and said, "Alright, I'll have someone dispose of it later."

"Dad, there's no need to get upset with people like that. Anyway, we have long decided not to have any cooperation with the Du Family!"

At that moment, An Kexin's phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Lin Jie.

She answered immediately, listened for a bit, and said, "Yes, there's such an exchange fund. The company and a US medical device manufacturer jointly set it up. This year's exchange hospital is New York Presbyterian Hospital, lasting three months."

"I understand, noted, I'll handle it properly."

After hanging up, An Kexin smiled and said, "The exchange study slot from the University Affiliated Hospital to the US is about to be confirmed. Lin Jie asked me to prioritize selecting a friend of his."

An Weize laughed and said, "It takes more than one person to accomplish great things; Lin Jie has learned to build alliances."

At this moment, Lin Jie, Lin Miao, Li Ting, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Lili were all seated around the dining table in the apartment, enthusiastically having hot pot.

As it got colder, Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and Li Ting, who had no evening classes, arranged to have hot pot at home.

Unexpectedly, Lu Kaicheng and Chen Lili showed up uninvited, saying it was a gesture of thanks for Lin Jie's guidance that one night. Since that night, Lu Kaicheng had been busy, and only today had spare time.

Lin Jie set his phone aside and said, "There shouldn't be any difficulty; prepare to depart in advance!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Lu Kaicheng was a bit excited and embarrassed as he said, "I meant to thank you for your help last time, but now I'm indebted to you again."

"When I applied for this exchange program, I thought it was just a shot in the dark, but surprisingly, I got a pleasant surprise. I'm really grateful to you!"

Lin Jie dismissed it lightly, saying, "Your foundation is solid. Going abroad to broaden your horizons and learn will improve you significantly. You deserve to go."

Lu Kaicheng modestly replied, "The other colleagues who applied have skills no worse than mine and deeper connections. Normally, I wouldn't have made the cut for the exchange slot."

After dinner, Lu Kaicheng and Chen Lili sat around for another hour before leaving.

After they left, Li Ting frowned and pondered, "Lin Jie, I can't recall if I ever told them about your connection to the An Family."

"Tonight, their visit and the mention of the exchange, although casual and random, seemed somewhat deliberate. Perhaps both you and I have been used."

Lin Jie chuckled softly and said, "Whether intentional or not, it makes no difference to me."

"Originally, this exchange activity led by the An Family didn't concern me at all. By helping him once, maybe he'll help me in the future!"

"But you're now indebted to the An Family!" Li Ting exclaimed!

Lin Jie sighed, "My relationship with the An Family has always been complicated. One more or less favor makes no real difference!"
