Lin Jie looked at himself in the dressing mirror, wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a plaid-patterned light gray casual suit on top, paired with khaki pants of the same color and black leather boots!

He inexplicably felt like he had aged a few years!

"What do you guys think?" Lin Jie asked softly!

Lin Miao nodded with satisfaction and said, "With your new hairstyle and these mature and steady clothes, people would believe if you said you were twenty-five or twenty-six."

Li Ting, standing on the other side of Lin Jie, agreed, "Indeed, it looks great, mature yet handsome. This outfit fits you perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for you!"

This outfit, including the thermal underwear he was wearing and even the socks, were all bought by An Kexin in one go.

Of course, Lin Jie wouldn't tell Li Ting about this and said, "We should get going, let's go!"

"Brother, wait a minute!"

Lin Miao reached out to press down a small tuft of hair sticking out above Lin Jie's left ear and only smiled after it stayed down, "Now it's okay, let's go!"

The three of them left the apartment and took the elevator straight to the underground parking lot!

As Lin Jie stepped out of the elevator, he noticed Li Haoxiang and two others chatting near his car, seemingly waiting for him!

Seeing Lin Jie's group approaching, Li Haoxiang and his friends stopped chatting and all looked at Lin Jie.

Li Haoxiang smiled widely and said, "Today is a big day for you, Lin Jie, and also a grand event for Xiangtai Apartment. How can I, the committee director, stay indifferent?"

"Boss Xu from our apartment, Boss Ye, and I will head to Binhai University with you to cheer you on!"

Lin Jie was familiar with the Boss Xu and Boss Ye mentioned by Li Haoxiang, especially Boss Ye with the big belly; they had previously shaken hands with Chen Shi and him.

But Lin Jie's understanding of these two was limited to just being familiar with their faces!

He politely said, "Thank you, thank you! You're all extremely busy, it's really unnecessary to spend time on such a trivial matter of mine. I appreciate your enthusiasm."

Boss Xu, seeming aware of Lin Jie's unfamiliarity with him, introduced himself, "My surname is Xu, Xu Xingye, and I hold shares in Baihui Square."

"It's quite embarrassing, but I only realized you were the hero who bravely stepped up to treat the wounded during that accident at the little diner after seeing your resume online and the buzz about you."

He clasped his hands together and said, "Lin Jie, thank you!"

Lin Jie humbly replied, "You're too kind, Boss Xu. Anyone in my situation back then would have rushed forward without hesitation."

Li Haoxiang further explained, "Boss Xu is a major shareholder and legal representative of Baihui Square. He took responsibility for inadequate management during that accident and was fined heavily."

"If the death toll had increased, it probably wouldn't have ended with just fines. Lin Jie, you truly deserve Boss Xu's gratitude."

Lin Jie didn't follow the subsequent handling of that accident.

But with such significant casualties, certainly, many people were held accountable!

This legal representative of Baihui Square got away with just a fine, likely due to his influence and connections, but Lin Jie wouldn't foolishly take credit for this.

"Even without my intervention, those few people might not have been in life-threatening condition. My role has been exaggerated."

At this moment, Boss Ye, with a big belly and a Maitreya-like smile, said, "Ye Hongqing, running Night Charm, Sculpting Time and other bars and entertainment venues, just a rough person, admiring cultured people like you and Professor Chen with brilliant medical skills!"

Lin Jie didn't remember much from what he said, except for the words "Night Charm"!

Lin Jie couldn't help but gaze at him for a few moments!

Oh dear, looking at this guy's big belly and chubby face, he seemed harmless like Maitreya, but he turned out to be the big boss of the Night Charm Bar!

Truly, one shouldn't judge by appearances. But I wonder if he personally ordered the bone-breaking of Su Xiaohui's right hand and right forearm.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, seeing their insistence on attending, Lin Jie couldn't refuse them strongly and all headed to Binhai University in their own cars.

When Lin Jie and his companions arrived at the small auditorium of Binhai University Medical School, it was eight thirty-two in the morning!

After getting off the car, he saw that Chen Shi, along with the An Family trio, Luo Shanshan, Zhang Daya, and others from Zhujia Port, old neighbors like Kong Mingqing, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and others, as well as Qin Fang, Yang Jinglong, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Lili had all already arrived.

As soon as Lin Jie got off the car, they all surrounded him in a rush!

There was even a chubby old man who squeezed through the crowd and warmly hugged Lin Jie's right hand, excitably saying, "My little savior, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have been buried by now, thank you, thank you!"

Only then did Lin Jie recognize him as Chef Song from that small diner!

At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly spoke, loudly saying, "You've all seen Lin Jie, but now, please follow the arrangements made by An Kexin and others and enter the small auditorium first."

"What Lin Jie needs most now is peace. I have a few things to discuss with him! Once the assessment is over, there'll be plenty of time for small talk!"

Chen Shi's words carried a lot of weight.

These people, including Lin Miao and Li Ting, followed An Kexin, Ling Mengjiao and others, moving towards the small auditorium nearby.

Leaving only Lin Jie and Chen Shi at the original spot.

A beautiful girl in a pale red down jacket stayed at the back of the crowd. Suddenly, she turned around, ran to Lin Jie, looked up at him, bit her lip, and said, "Lin Jie, although I am still mad at you, I really hope you pass this assessment smoothly."

She raised her right hand and shouted, "Lin Jie, go for it!"

Lin Jie reached out to give a high-five with her, smiling, "With a pretty little lady like Kemeng cheering me on, I feel full of endless energy!"

An Kemeng snorted, "Don't think saying nice things will make me forgive you. I'm still mad!"

With that, she hopped back to join the main group.

"You brat, stay away from our Kemeng in the future. If you rile her up, be careful I'll let you have it!"

Chen Shi warned Lin Jie, then shifted the topic, "The initial assessment arrangement is theoretical in the morning and practical in the afternoon. The theoretical assessment is conducted through on-site questioning, with seven assessors asking you questions, and you need to answer them on the spot."

"They won't grade on the spot, instead, based on your theoretical answers and practical performance in the afternoon, the seven expert assessors will deliberate in private and give a final pass or fail result for the assessment."

"Kid, confident?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "That's a question you shouldn't be asking!"

"Just wait and see how I win them over!"
