"What oversight? Did something go wrong with the surgery?" An Kexin looked anxious.

This is the most critical moment. If the surgery goes wrong and the patient causes trouble, once someone with ulterior motives finds out and takes the opportunity to make a fuss, this matter won't end well.

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "Have a little faith in me, will you? It's an issue outside of the surgery!"

He further explained, "After the cosmetic surgery, her appearance will change drastically, and she needs to go to the household registration department to change her ID and other documents! However, you understand, the clinic cannot issue a medical certificate for cosmetic surgery!"

An Kexin sighed in relief, patting her chest and jokingly said, "Lin Jie, you've become bad, you like to scare people now."

"This is nothing troubling. Just find a cosmetic hospital, slip the doctor some money, have them fabricate a case and issue a certificate! I'll handle this matter for you!"

For An Kexin, anything that could be quietly settled with money was not a big deal!

Lin Jie nodded without hesitation, saying, "Then it's up to you! I'll inform her about this once the anesthesia wears off and she wakes up! Now let's talk about the assessment!"

An Kexin pointed to the twilight outside and said, "It's dinner time, I'm hungry. Let's eat and talk!"

The two went to Zhang Family Seafood once again!

However, this time, they had seafood hot pot!

During the time it took for the soup base to boil, Lin Jie learned from An Kexin that the assessment would take place on the 13th of this month, starting at 9 am on Saturday, with no fixed ending time!

There are seven members in the assessment team!

Three are from Binhai University Medical School, namely Ren Maoshi, Sun Yuze, and Gu Hongkuang.

Four are hired from outside the school, namely Hu Yitong, Fang Lianggong, Tao Taqing, and Tian Zhiyuan.

An Kexin said solemnly, "Ren Maoshi, Sun Yuze, and Gu Hongkuang are all senior doctoral advisors at the Medical College, and their academic status at the school is no less than my uncle's."

"They also hold part-time positions at the University Affiliated Hospital and occasionally treat patients, so they have substantial medical practice experience."

"The three hired from outside, you probably have some familiarity with them."

"The fourth person, Tian Zhiyuan, is from Jingcheng University Medical School, also a doctoral advisor professor, and a brain surgery expert at Jingcheng University Affiliated Hospital."

An Kexin said worriedly, "It's just that Tian Zhiyuan has a good relationship with Hu Yitong, and he visits Kangning Hospital every year as an external medical expert to perform a few brain surgeries."

"If we assume the worst, Hu Yitong, Tian Zhiyuan, and Ren Maoshi are dead set on preventing you from passing the assessment, while experts Fang Lianggong and Tao Taqing lean towards our side."

"As for Sun Yuze and Gu Hongkuang..."

She gave a bitter smile and sighed, "I asked my uncle, and he said his relationship with these two is just indifferent!"

Afraid Lin Jie wouldn't understand, An Kexin further explained, "Lin Jie, when my uncle says 'indifferent,' he means they have no openly visible conflicts, just acquaintances who nod at each other when they meet!"

"You get what I'm saying, right? Knowing the nature of academic people, it's possible these two have strong opinions about my uncle!"

Lin Jie frowned and asked, "Is Old Chen's social network that bad?"

An Kexin gave an awkward smile and said, "Not exactly bad, but my uncle..."

"How should I put it, he's lived a privileged life since childhood, you could say he's never struggled, and his academic performance has always been excellent, which makes him somewhat arrogant and straightforward, not very sociable!"

"But those who are good friends with my uncle are truly good friends, though there aren't many like that!"

Her explanation somewhat improved Lin Jie's impression of Old Chen. With his personality, he even went as far as coaxing Fang Lianggong and Tao Taqing to join the assessment team for his sake, which shows he truly cares about him.

Feeling some gratitude, Lin Jie nodded gently and said, "You don't need many friends; three or five true friends in a lifetime are enough!"

Seeing An Kexin looking worried, he comforted her, "Ultimately, it comes down to my abilities. All the work you all did before wasn't for nothing!"

"In front of everyone, if I don't show my capabilities, no one will dare to favor me. However, if I excel, those people won't dare to lie and purposely fail me!"

An Kexin's face lit up with a slight smile, saying, "You're right, I'm just worrying over nothing. With your skills, how could there be a problem."

Lin Jie poured a plate of oysters and a plate of fish balls into the boiling hot pot, changing the topic, "How's Kemeng doing?"

An Kexin pursed her lips and smiled, "She's still ignoring you?"

"Yeah!" Lin Jie sighed, looking troubled, "She doesn't reply to my texts, and when I call, I find out my number's still on her phone's blacklist."

He complained a bit, "She's really stubborn, nothing like you!"

An Kexin stirred the hot pot with a ladle and laughed, "That means Kemeng is really angry this time. She trusted you so much, even told you her biggest secret, and you just sold her out."

"If it were me, I wouldn't pay attention to you either!"

"Wasn't she suffering from delusions? I'm helping her, okay?" Lin Jie felt a bit wronged!

An Kexin scooped a few oysters into Lin Jie's small bowl and said, "You could have seriously talked to her about it first! Given her trust in you, she would have believed you. But you told us behind her back!"

Lin Jie also knew his approach at the time was somewhat rash and inappropriate!

However, hearing it from An Kexin made him a bit unwilling to accept it, so he shouted, "An Kexin, whose side are you on anyway? In any case, I did a favor for your An Family with this matter?"

"Kemeng is my sister, so of course I'm on her side!" An Kexin said confidently.

After saying this, she smiled gently again, saying, "Alright, alright! Kemeng just got a bit stubborn and hasn't thought it through yet! The more she acts like this, the more it shows she cares about you."

"Give her some more time, and she'll figure it out on her own."

An Kexin spoke seriously about Kemeng's condition, "Dr. Tan Wenlan said that the recent psychological counseling sessions have been very effective! I also learned from Kemeng's teacher that she's been paying more attention in class, and her grades are improving steadily."

"Through this, both my dad and I realized our shortcomings and know we need to truly care for Kemeng. For this reason, my dad and I consulted Dr. Tan for an afternoon of advice!"

An Kexin ate a few oysters and said, "Overall, the hospital matters, Kemeng's situation, and your affairs are progressing step by step, moving in a positive direction."

Lin Jie, keenly aware that she didn't mention anything about the company, directly asked, "Is there some trouble with the company?"

An Kexin nodded slightly and said, "There are some minor issues, but nothing major!"

"Ren Jianzhong causing trouble?" Lin Jie immediately thought of him!

An Kexin glanced sideways at Lin Jie and said, "You really think highly of him!"

"No, it's the Hu Family!"

"After that night's farewell and welcome party, the Hu Family essentially severed ties with us."

"Kangning Hospital has cut off all cooperation with us and is actively using its connections to persuade other units to sever ties with us too!"

Lin Jie couldn't help but curse, "Damn, those old scoundrels!"

An Kexin scooped a few meatballs for Lin Jie and said, "It's just a minor annoyance, nothing serious that would affect the hospital's construction or the company's normal operations."

"Oh, the hospital's location is almost settled! We're planning to find a design company for the design. Do you have any suggestions for this area?"

Lin Jiameng shook his head, saying, "I'm clueless about this! Let the professionals handle the professional stuff; I won't interfere."

An Kexin nodded, saying, "Okay, you don't need to be involved in that area, but there's one thing you must give your opinion on!"

"What is it?" Lin Jie asked curiously!

An Kexin said with great importance, "Our hospital's name!"
