"Bang bang..."

The urgent knocking on the door jolted Lin Jie awake from his sleep. Looking at the time, it was just past four in the morning! He walked out of the bedroom, discovering that Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao, both in pajamas, had also come out of their rooms.

With a face full of sleepiness, Zhang Xiaoxiao shouted discontentedly, "Who is it? In the middle of the night!"

"It's Hu Yuanqing, I'm here to find Lin Jie!"

Recognizing it was indeed Hu Yuanqing's voice, Lin Jie signaled Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao to go back to their rooms to sleep, then he went to open the door.

The moment Lin Jie opened the door and saw Hu Yuanqing, something was thrust into his hands—a tablet computer, while Yuanqing's voice sounded by his ear, "Lin Jie, take a look at this surgical plan, any problems you see?"

Lin Jie returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and began looking through the surgical plan on the computer.

This plan had a lot of Hu Yuanqing's style—conservative overall, with some aggressive parts; the aggressive parts bore Lin Jie's influence. Clearly, Hu Yuanqing had absorbed some of Lin Jie's suggestions from previous surgical plan reviews.

At this moment, Lin Jie also remembered that during the day it was the time Hu Yuanqing was doing surgery for that Mr. Tan.

Now at this hour, Mr. Tan would be awakening from anesthesia, undergoing postoperative checks. Could it be that the surgery failed?

Lin Jie looked up, watching Hu Yuanqing pace back and forth in front of him, and asked with concern, "Dr. Hu, did Mr. Tan's surgery run into problems?"

Hu Yuanqing let out a sigh and said, "Overall, the surgery is considered successful but not the success I hoped for; Mr. Tan suffered a postoperative injury that should have been avoided!"

"Lin Jie, take a look at this surgical plan, I want to know whether the problem lies in the plan's design or if I made a mistake during the surgery?"

Lin Jie zoomed in on a surgical route map on the tablet, pointed to a line, and said, "This design has some innovative ideas."

"But if you proceed with the surgical aspirator head from here, with your skill level, it's easy to damage the language control center in this area. If you approach from this direction instead..."

Lin Jie hadn't finished his words when he heard heavy breathing beside him, and saw Hu Yuanqing staring at him fiercely like a wolf, eyes fixed on his hand drawing lines on the screen.

At that moment, Hu Yuanqing's demeanor made Lin Jie feel somewhat frightened!

"Mr. Tan's postoperative injury is... aphasia!"

After saying this, Hu Yuanqing took back the computer and left directly.

Lin Jie felt his departing figure seemed somewhat dejected, as if he had suffered a significant blow.

Shen Lanruo's voice echoed softly again, "Lin Jie, for any successful doctor, they are all stubborn people who insist on their own opinions. You could call it confidence, or arrogance."

"But without this persistence, confidence, or arrogance, it's impossible to become a renowned doctor."

"Misdiagnosis, and making mistakes during surgery, are essential paths on the way to becoming a famous doctor. To put it cruelly, beneath every renowned doctor's feet lie patients who have died due to misdiagnosis or mistakes."

Lin Jie said softly, "Sister Lanruo, isn't Hu Yuanqing's situation somewhat different from what you described? If he had asked me to review the surgical plan beforehand, this postoperative injury could have been avoided."

"More or less the same, he just wanted to prove himself and didn't want to rely on you anymore, except this time he failed. If he can figure this out and overcome this hurdle, he should be able to improve his medical skills further."

Lin Jie let out a big yawn and said, "Hopefully. I'm going to sleep. Li Ting is coming over today, saying she wants to assess my current cultural level and then make a study plan suitable for my situation."

"When it comes to work, she is extremely serious. I can already imagine the life I will have to live in the future."

Li Ting's arrival was even earlier than Lin Jie expected; she showed up as they were about to have breakfast.

Upon learning she was there to tutor Lin Jie and help him get into college, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao were surprisingly supportive!

Zhang Xiaoxiao patted Lin Jie on the shoulder, adopting the stance of a big sister, and said, "Little Lin, you're still young. Going to college is truly the best choice for you. You don't lack money to live, and your health has recovered, so you can fully focus on studying."

Lin Miao also excitedly said, "Brother, do you want to enroll in a tutoring class? Or maybe find a high school to attend temporarily?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Yes, you should definitely enroll in a tutoring class. Attending high school temporarily is also a good idea!"

Lin Jie quickly interrupted the two, saying, "Stop it, Li Ting is a top student and currently an outstanding scholar at Binhai University. Preparing for the college entrance exam can be managed between the two of us. You two go mind your own business, don't worry unnecessarily!"

"Let's have breakfast! Li Ting, join us for breakfast!"

"Thank you, I brought my breakfast!"

As she spoke, Li Ting pulled a plain bun and a tea egg from her backpack, saying, "This is my breakfast. This time, I'm going all out; if I don't succeed in losing weight, I'll be honorable in failure!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Jie no longer insisted on inviting her.

After breakfast, Zhang Xiaoxiao left for work, and Lin Miao obediently returned to the bedroom, leaving the room to Lin Jie and Li Ting.

Li Ting pulled out a few sets of papers and handed them to Lin Jie, saying, "This is a set of preliminary test papers. Do them first!"

Upon taking a look, Lin Jie saw it was a set of preliminary test papers covering Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, each with a full score of one hundred!

He began with English and finished it within half an hour. Following was Chinese, and then Math…

By around one in the afternoon, Lin Jie had completed all the papers.

This set of exams triggered some absorbed memories in Lin Jie.

However, quite a bit on the test papers was still left blank because the education system in the United States is vastly different from that in China, and the memories Lin Jie had absorbed were also fragmentary.

About ten minutes later, Li Ting finished marking the last biology paper, looked at Lin Jie, and her brow furrowed into a knot.

Lin Jie asked nervously, "Was my preliminary test particularly bad?"

Li Ting shook her head and said, "No matter how poor your grades are, I wouldn't be surprised! Instead, I'm very puzzled by the facts you do know."

"What I was most worried about was English, and you gave me a huge surprise by only getting one multiple-choice question wrong."

"But for the other subjects, except for Chinese, you didn't pass! What baffled me was that in the math paper, you used calculus knowledge that's only taught in college to solve problems, yet you got all the simple fill-in-the-blank questions wrong."

"And in physics, and chemistry, you also applied knowledge beyond the high school scope."

Lin Jie chuckled and explained carelessly, "In recent years, I've developed a keen interest in medicine and self-studied a lot. To understand some medical papers and monographs, I self-taught related knowledge in math, physics, and chemistry!"

"Li Ting, you might not believe it, but I have a knack for learning languages! Not only is my English good, but I am also very proficient in German!"

Li Ting sized up Lin Jie for a moment, her smile slowly spreading across her face.

"I knew before that you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be this smart! Lin Jie, as long as you complete my study plan on time, I'm certain I can get you admitted into Binhai University's Medical College."
