After breakfast, An Kexin said her goodbyes and left.

The Lin siblings were waiting in the apartment for Li Ting, preparing to go to the travel agency to book a trip to Tianya Haijiao Resort.

Close to eleven o'clock, Li Ting arrived! But she didn't come alone; she brought along a "third wheel" named Niu Yilan.

Niu Yilan handed Lin Jie a fruit basket and said, "Lin Jie, congratulations on passing your exams and soon becoming a graduate student at the Medical College!"

Lin Jie gave the fruit basket to Lin Miao, smiling slightly, and replied politely, "Thank you! You're too kind, please have a seat!"

Niu Yilan remained standing and continued, "Although I didn't watch yesterday's video live, I saw the frenzy over you on the internet. I know your medical skills are impressive."

"I want... I want to consult you about something!"

"Oh, what is it? Go ahead," Lin Jie asked calmly.

She bit her lip and said, "I want to have plastic surgery!"

Lin Jie couldn't help but look at Li Ting, who softly shook her head, indicating she wasn't making things up!

Niu Yilan continued, "I've always wanted plastic surgery, but I have a strong resistance to anesthesia drugs, almost like immunity. Lin Jie, can you help me?"

This piqued Lin Jie's interest, and he asked, "Could you elaborate on how you're immune to anesthesia drugs?"

Niu Yilan involuntarily touched the left side of her jaw, looking pained, and said, "Before college, I went to the dental clinic to have a wisdom tooth pulled. The doctor gave me an anesthesia shot, but it didn't work; even an imported anesthesia drug, supposedly the best, didn't work either."

"The doctor eventually said I have an anesthesia-resistant physique, almost immune to anesthesia. In the end, they had to pull out the wisdom tooth directly, and it was excruciating."

Lin Jie asked, "Did you go to the hospital later for further anesthesia testing?"

"No!" Niu Yilan replied!

Lin Jie smiled and said, "Hospital anesthetics are roughly divided into three major categories, with dozens of anesthetics in total. The common ones in dental clinics are mainly procaine, lidocaine, tetracaine, and a few others!"

"Being immune to these anesthetics doesn't mean you're immune to others."

"There's also a possibility that some doctors or anesthesiologists lack skill, and the anesthetic injects into the wrong location, failing to have the desired effect, and then they blame the patient for having high resistance or immunity to anesthetics!"

"I suggest you go to a general hospital first to undergo a detailed anesthesia test. They should be able to find an effective anesthetic type or combination for you!"

"Thank you for the advice!"

Niu Yilan looked a little unhappy, with a strong feeling of revenge, and said, "If the test finds another anesthetic that works for me, I'll smash that dental clinic on my next trip home for winter break."

"The pain was so unbearable back then that I felt like dying."

Li Ting chuckled and said, "Yilan, you already have a boyfriend, why do you need plastic surgery? Is he dissatisfied with you?"

Niu Yilan's face immediately looked grim, and then she sighed deeply, saying with frustration, "We've already broken up! I was afraid of losing face, so I kept it secret from you and Lili. Now, I'll tell you everything!"

"Our relationship had only reached the hand-holding and hugging stage, it never progressed further."

"It's not that I didn't try; on Christmas Eve and New Year's, I even booked hotel rooms, but he always found an excuse to bail."

"I thought he disliked me or had someone else, so I secretly investigated him. Until a few days ago, I found out he's actually... he's actually GAY!"

This answer was unexpected for Lin Jie!

He initially thought that the well-built, masculine Liu Yong was with Niu Yilan either because of his unusual tastes, or perhaps because of her money.

"If he's gay, why did he pursue you?" Li Ting was full of curiosity.

Niu Yilan, puffing with anger, said, "I couldn't hold back and confronted him! After my questioning and threats, he finally admitted that he was with me to deceive others."

"What's more infuriating is he said he chose someone less attractive to be his girlfriend because it was easier to deal with and control."

"Although he didn't say it, I also knew it was about money. I spent at least ten to twenty thousand on him each month."

Filled with righteous indignation, Lin Miao exclaimed, "What a bastard! Such a person is truly rotten, absolutely terrible! Didn't you give him a good beating?"

"I couldn't beat him; he's so strong. But I didn't let him off easy either."

Niu Yilan's face showed a hint of vengeful satisfaction as she said, "He wanted to keep appearances, but now, all his classmates, his friends, even his family and relatives know he's gay."

She got the response she wanted and wisely didn't stay long, quickly taking her leave.

Just as the three of them were about to head out, they suddenly received a call from the property management, saying that a visitor named Tian Zhiyuan had arrived.

Tian Zhiyuan, a professor at Jingcheng University Medical School and an expert in neurosurgery, why is he here? Lin Jie was puzzled!

Such a prominent figure visiting in person, although there had been some friction before, it was primarily with Hu Yitong, and Lin Jie had no fundamental conflicts with him.

Lin Jie couldn't turn him away and personally went to the elevator entrance to greet him.

After some polite yet somewhat distant exchanges, Lin Jie invited Tian Zhiyuan to sit on the sofa in the living room.

After offering a cup of hot tea, Lin Jie said straightforwardly, "Professor Tian, since you've come all the way here, please feel free to speak up if there's something you need to address!"

Tian Zhiyuan's face briefly registered embarrassment, which he masked by taking a sip of tea, and then he said, "Lin Jie, because of my work collaboration with the Hu Family's Kangning Hospital, I've been in contact with Dean Hu quite often!"

"Although we call each other friends, it's not quite so; however, due to shared interests, I showed a clear bias during yesterday's assessment."

"In the voting phase, influenced by Dean Hu's very subjective depiction of you, I cast a dissenting vote. That was my fault, and I apologize to you for that!"

After saying this, Tian Zhiyuan stood up and was about to bow to Lin Jie in apology!

After all, the other party was a senior and a renowned professor, Lin Jie was unwilling to accept his bow. He stepped forward to support him and said, "Professor Tian, you too were misled by Hu Yitong's ulterior motives. We can just clear up the misunderstanding between us; there's no need for a special apology!"

Tian Zhiyuan was quite satisfied with Lin Jie's response and took the opportunity to sit back down!

"Yesterday, you redefined the meaning of talent for me!"

Looking at Lin Jie, Tian Zhiyuan remarked emotionally, "Jingcheng University boasts a gathering of geniuses, but compared to you, those so-called geniuses are just worlds apart..."

He lavished more praise, but Lin Jie merely watched him with a smile, which made him blush in embarrassment and awkwardly say, "Alright, alright, I'll get straight to the point! This back-and-forth makes me seem a bit hypocritical."

"Last night, Mr. An Weize mentioned that you used to frequently develop cranial surgery plans for Dr. Hu Yuanqing. Please let me know if this is true or false?"

"It's true," Lin Jie did not deny it!

"I would like to ask for your help with something!"

Saying this, Tian Zhiyuan took out a tablet from his briefcase, displayed a set of cranial CT scans, and handed it to Lin Jie.

He earnestly said, "This is a patient of mine!"

"Regarding the patient's cranial tumor, I've devised several surgical plans, but each involves significant surgical trauma, severely affecting the postoperative quality of life. Please take a look!"

Lin Jie carefully examined the CT scans!

The patient had an irregular glioma, with a maximum diameter exceeding nine centimeters, located in a tricky spot. It seemed that approaching it from any angle would seriously damage adjacent brain tissues...

After viewing them, Lin Jie set the tablet aside, closed his eyes, and began simulating the surgical process for the patient in his mind...

Tian Zhiyuan watched Lin Jie very anxiously!

He knew Lin Jie was contemplating and was so afraid of disturbing his thoughts that even his breathing involuntarily became lighter!

After ten minutes, Lin Jie slowly opened his eyes and said, "Remove the left eye."

"Remove the left eye?!"

Tian Zhiyuan was taken aback, but as a neurosurgery expert, he immediately understood Lin Jie's thinking. He quickly picked up the tablet and reviewed the CT images one by one!

This review took nearly an hour.

After a long time, Tian Zhiyuan put down the tablet, exhaled deeply, got up to straighten out the wrinkles in his clothes, and directly bowed to Lin Jie!

This sudden gesture caught Lin Jie off guard, and he quickly stood up, asking, "Professor Tian, what is this?"

Tian Zhiyuan straightened up and said, "Yesterday, you earned my 100% admiration. But today, with just one sentence, I must admit, you're far superior; your current capability exceeds mine."

"Approaching from the left eye, although the patient will lose a healthy left eye, the brain tumor can be removed most effectively, giving the patient a good postoperative recovery and little impact on their quality of life."

"I am now extremely glad, truly overjoyed, that it was you who ultimately won yesterday and that Hu Yitong's schemes did not succeed."

"Otherwise, we would have committed an unforgivable mistake, causing immeasurable harm to the medical community in our country and potentially worldwide!"

In the end, Tian Zhiyuan left, fully convinced and grateful, and insisted on leaving a so-called expert consultation fee of fifty thousand yuan.

Subsequently, Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and Li Ting drove to the travel agency indicated on the travel voucher!

After negotiation, Lin Jie added some money to book a standalone villa in a thatched-roof style with a 360-degree sea view at the resort. The time frame was from the twenty-first to the twenty-sixth of the lunar December!
