In a corner of a banquet hall on the third floor of the Crown Holiday Hotel, the scene had been set up for the press conference.

Three meters in front of the podium, there was a long table with several high-definition cameras fixed on it, aimed at the podium. Behind the long table, a few staff members from various websites were seated, watching the live stream on their laptops.

Behind the long table, about twenty or thirty chairs were arranged, where Lin Jie, Lin Miao, An Weize, Chen Shi, Ye Hongqing, Xu Xingye, and others sat peacefully.

Wearing a dark professional fitted suit, An Kexin looked like a professional spokesperson, with not a hint of nervousness on her face, speaking sternly to the cameras.

"Many people online have baselessly accused my friend Lin Jie of ignoring Wang Min's family's plea for help, which is extremely irresponsible."

"There are even some ignorant netizens who have made unwarranted insults and slanderous accusations, which is infuriating. We will reserve the right to use all means to hold those who defamed Lin Jie's reputation accountable for their actions and speech."

Lin Miao leaned close to Lin Jie's ear and whispered with a smile, "Kexin's outfit and stern expression really make her look like a news anchor!"

Lin Jie just smiled and quietly warned, "Don't talk; it wouldn't be good to affect the live broadcast!"

Lin Miao pouted but also fell silent to listen to An Kexin's explanation, "The actual situation is that the night Lin Jie saw Wang Min's family's video plea online, he immediately called me."

"He expressed sympathy for Wang Min's family's plight and was willing to do what little he could to help."

"However, he also pointed out that families like Wang Min's, who struggle with illness and financial difficulty, are not unique in the country. Since individual capability is limited, he wondered whether a long-term mechanism could be established to gather collective strength to help such families."

"After our in-depth discussions, we ultimately decided to establish a philanthropic charity fund to help such families in need."

With some frustration, An Kexin stated, "Lin Jie didn't respond because he had no time to respond, as he devoted all his time to more important tasks."

"He hopes to establish this philanthropic charity fund as quickly as possible to help more people..."

Hearing her speaking so favorably of him, Lin Jie felt a bit of vanity; he hadn't participated in the foundation's establishment at all!

Then An Kexin produced several documents and certificates, and seriously exhibited them in front of the cameras.

"Through Lin Jie's efforts and the help of many kind-hearted people, the Anlin Charity Fund has been officially established..."

Even before she finished speaking, a burst of applause erupted in the banquet hall!

Lin Jie clapped the hardest, even reddening his palms; it would be a disservice not to appreciate An Kexin's silent contribution.

When the applause died down, An Kexin continued, "The Anlin Charity Fund is affiliated with the Binhai City Red Cross Society; all transactions will be supervised by the City Red Cross Society, and we will regularly disclose the use of the charitable funds to society."

"I am honored to announce here that the first donation received by the Anlin Charity Fund is from Lin Jie, amounting to 300,000!"

As she said this, An Kexin displayed a 300,000 transfer receipt and further stated, "Lin Jie specially entrusted me to solemnly promise everyone here..."

"After Lin Jie graduates and officially works at Anlin Hospital, he will donate one-quarter of his monthly fixed salary to the Anlin Charity Fund to help families in need."

Clap, clap...

Another round of enthusiastic applause filled the room.

Lin Miao was somewhat anxious, tightly holding Lin Jie's hand, and said eagerly, "Brother..."

Lin Jie stood up, giving a slight bow to thank the friends clapping around him, then sat down and whispered to Lin Miao, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing; it won't significantly impact my future income."

After all, An Kexin specified "monthly fixed salary." A doctor's salary encompasses various components, such as basic salary, post subsidies, professional title subsidies, performance bonuses, surgical allowances, overtime pay, etc.!

Generally, for a surgeon, most of the salary comes from fluctuating performance bonuses and surgical allowances, with the fixed salary proportionally smaller.

Moreover, Lin Jie is a shareholder of Anlin Hospital, and the substantial future income will surely come from shareholder dividends.

"Besides Lin Jie's donation, the Anlin Charity Fund also received a 5 million donation from Weize Group, a 500,000 donation from Mr. Ye Hongqing, a 500,000 donation from Mr. Xu Xingye, a 100,000 donation from Professor Chen Shi..."

As An Weize read out the donors' names and donation amounts, he also displayed the donation transfer proofs to the cameras.

After exhibiting these, An Kexin continued, "Up until now, the Anlin Charity Fund has received a total of 7.56 million in actual donations..."

After another round of applause, she let out a deep breath and said, "During the preparation of the Anlin Charity Fund, Lin Jie has also been deeply concerned about that girl with congenital heart disease, Yaoyao!"

"To prove our words are not hollow, please welcome Yaoyao..."

Upon hearing these words, Ling Mengjiao led in a little girl about four or five years old into the banquet hall.

After being cleaned up and changing into new clothes, the little girl, though still looking pale and thin, appeared much more adorable.

She seemed a little afraid of such a setting, half her body hiding behind Ling Mengjiao, with big eyes curiously yet timidly surveying everyone.

An Kexin introduced, "Yaoyao arrived in Binhai yesterday afternoon and underwent a thorough examination at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital that evening."

"It's confirmed that Yaoyao has an atrioventricular septal defect!"

"The University Affiliated Hospital will arrange for Yaoyao's surgery as soon as possible; as the first aid project of the Anlin Charity Fund, all expenses incurred in Yaoyao's process will be covered by the Anlin Charity Fund!"

"As the saying goes, when many people add fuel, the fire burns high; the Anlin Charity Fund, as a newly established fund, is still very small, needing everyone's generosity and kindness!"

An Kexin appealed, "In the video plea incident of Wang Min's family, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, have watched the video, and over 10,000 left comments, showing significant public interest."

"However, mere attention is not enough; charity requires the real support of you, me, and everyone."

She took out a large cardboard from behind, printed with two large bank accounts. "These are the Anlin Charity Fund's bank accounts. We warmly welcome every caring person concerned about this issue to contribute as much as you can."

"Here, I solemnly warn against those who merely pay lip service to charity without solid evidence—do not easily conclude about any individual."

"In this event, Lin Jie silently did a lot of tangible work but was subjected to significant criticism and insults. He deserves an apology from everyone."

"I once again urge everyone to note that the greatest good Lin Jie has done is not the amount of money donated but using his remarkable medical skills to save one patient after another from the brink of death!"

"A person's life is invaluable, and that is the greatest good Lin Jie has done!"
