"Lin Jie, wherever there are people, there are conflicts of interest, and with conflicts come intrigues and schemes."

"Even if you're solely focused on treating and saving people, it's unavoidable; perhaps your very existence hinders others."

Shen Lanruo's earnest warnings echoed in his mind, "There was once an outstanding senior who accidentally cut his hand during surgery and contracted HIV from the patient."

"It's hard to determine whether it was an accident or a deliberate setup. But the fact is, a talented doctor was ruined just like that."

"Lin Jie, this is also why many renowned doctors have their own fixed surgical teams. Even when they go to other places to perform surgeries, they bring their own teams."

Lin Jie watched as old Hu and Hu Xinyi left the banquet hall together, and said softly, "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Lanruo."

"Through this old geezer, I've also learned that a person's character isn't always equivalent to their displayed ability and achievement. I'll be vigilant."

He let out a long sigh and lamented, "Damn, living is not easy; achieving something is even harder. You never know where some guy will come from to trip you up unexpectedly."

Lin Jie found Chen Shi and relayed everything that just happened in detail!

"Damn it#¶œ, I#¶œ..."

Immediately, Chen Shi, despite his status as a doctoral advisor, couldn't help but curse profanely in anger, refreshing Lin Jie's impression of him once again.

"There have long been rumors that this old bastard is no good, and now I see it's true, it's really eye-opening!"

"Let's go, we'll talk things over with Weize!"

Chen Shi unceremoniously called An Weize and An Kexin, who were still attending to guests, into another room to discuss countermeasures.

Upon hearing Lin Jie's recounting once more, An Weize's face instantly turned as gloomy as water!

This matter was of greater importance to the An Family than to Lin Jie!

After all, Lin Jie now has Lin Miao's eyesight restored, a luxury apartment, and several million in the bank. Even if he never secretly performs surgeries again, he can comfortably live out his life.

But for the An Family's upcoming full-scale investment in building a hospital, Lin Jie is the key figure for its substantial development, crucial to the hospital's potential to soar.

An Weize, with a dark face, pondered, "Old Hu's words are indeed correct; as our hospital develops, Kangning Hospital will indeed suffer the most impact."

"With Lin Jie's medical skills, he can completely attract most of the high-end patients."

He lightly patted his knee and suddenly smiled, saying, "This is my oversight and mistake; I thought hospitals were just about treating and saving, doing our primary duty well and gaining patient recognition, but I didn't expect that hospitals are also about survival of the fittest."

"Old Hu gave me a good wake-up call this time, very good indeed!"

An Kexin worriedly asked, "Dad, do you have a plan? Given Dean Hu's status and reputation, if he actively applies to become a member of the evaluation team, the chances of approval are high!"

"Once he joins, with his qualifications, he could likely dominate the entire evaluation group's tone, which is very disadvantageous for Lin Jie."

An Weize nodded lightly, saying, "I only have a simple method in mind now. Although we can't stop him, we can mimic him by inviting expert-level doctors who are friendly with us to apply to join the evaluation team."

"This way, old Hu won't be able to have the final say, and the final group's evaluation opinions are decided by a one-vote-per-person method!"

"Good idea!"

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his leg in delight, exclaiming, "I'll sacrifice my old face and brazenly ask a few old friends to come out and make a move."

An Kexin, inspired, said, "Now that Lin Jie's issue has spread, why don't we just go all out and publicize this matter extensively?"

"By combining this special admission evaluation, we'll promote Lin Jie as an extremely rare medical genius and garner widespread attention from the entire Binhai medical field for this assessment?"

"Hmm... it would be best to live-stream the entire evaluation process online, letting more people see and focus on it?"

An Kexin eagerly said, "In this situation, if Hu Yitong or Ren Maoshi dare to deliberately distort the truth and deny Lin Jie's ability, it would surely lead to their reputations taking a nosedive!"

"After all, those watching the live-stream would be professional doctors and medical researchers, not easy to fool."

"Great idea!"

Chen Shi excitedly clapped his leg again, exclaiming, "A top-tier domestic university, a special admission process no one dared to challenge for over a decade, an emerging medical genius, evaluation members are all widely recognized expert scholars—together, these add up to significant news value!"

An Weize laughed even more happily, saying, "This is also a great opportunity to promote Binhai University. As long as the university leadership still retains some sense, they'll definitely cooperate, even actively participate in the promotion."

"Lin Jie's growing fame will also serve as a pre-launch promotion for our future hospital. Let's make this as big as possible, the bigger, the better!"

Then, the three left Lin Jie to the side and began a heated discussion on the relevant operations and details.

"Ahem... ahem..."

After two dry coughs without effect, just as Lin Jie was about to cough heavily, he unexpectedly sneezed instead!

The sneeze came suddenly, and Lin Jie couldn't control it, but fortunately, at the last moment, he turned his head, avoiding spraying Chen Shi, An Weize, and An Kexin with spit!

However, the droplets floating in the air still let An Kexin, who was closest to him, feel some chill!

Seeing An Kexin looking displeased and glaring with wide eyes, Lin Jie grinned awkwardly and quickly apologized, "An accident, purely an accident, I really didn't mean it!"

"I interrupted you because I wanted to ask, aren't you worried that with such a big momentum, I might crack under the pressure and underperform during the evaluation?"

Chen Shi snorted disdainfully, saying, "Crack under pressure? How come you don't crack under pressure when you're opening someone up or cracking open their skull?"

"Surgeons have a big heart. If you can't handle this pressure, you can't become a renowned doctor."

An Kexin giggled and said, "Lin Jie, you don't need to perform extraordinarily; you just need to display your usual competence to crush them."

"Isn't that right, dearest big uncle?"

Chen Shi's face darkened as he turned his head, seemingly too disdainful to answer this question!

An Weize and An Kexin exchanged glances and couldn't help but secretly laugh, making Chen Shi's face even darker...
