An Weize's eyes lit up with hope again, and he eagerly said, "There's still a way? Hurry and tell me!"
"There's no such thing as being afraid to take risks. To me now, it's like a leaf floating on the water's surface; as long as it can keep me from sinking for one more second, I'll grab it with all my might."
Lin Jie calmed himself down, carefully chose his words, and said, "My sister Lin Miao is considered blind due to a childhood car accident, where blood clotted in her brain, compressing the visual area."
Seeing Lin Jie mention his sister, An Weize knew he wouldn't say this without a purpose. Although anxious, he forced himself to remain patient, listening intently while sipping his tea to ease his urgent feelings.
"Recently, I took her for an examination at Kangning Hospital. Hu Yuanqing was also at a loss regarding her current situation."
"So, I've decided..."
Reaching this point, Lin Jie pointed at his nose and solemnly said, "I've decided... to personally perform surgery on Lin Miao!"
"Oh... ah!?"
An Weize was so shocked that he overturned the teacup in his hand, spilling tea all over his chest.
After a brief moment of chaos, An Weize's shock settled, and he took a good look at Lin Jie, noticing the clarity in his eyes, showing he wasn't out of his mind or talking nonsense.
He thought for a moment and immediately understood Lin Jie's mindset, asking in astonishment, "Are you using your sister's surgery to prove to me that you have the capability to perform brain surgery?"
Lin Jie nodded emphatically and said, "Indeed!"
"As the saying goes, 'Words are unproven.' Because of my age and my experience, no one believes I have such ability!"
"To borrow words from an elder, 'Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth'; I can only prove my ability to you through my sister's surgery."
After being shocked, An Weize reverted to his shrewd business self and asked, "You're risking being seen as a madman by telling me this. Is it because you need something from me?"
"Uncle An, you must understand, I don't have the qualifications to operate right now, and others wouldn't believe me either."
"So, I need you to arrange for a standard neurosurgical operating room and provide me with a surgical assistant, anesthetist, and nurse!"
Lin Jie sincerely said, "Please believe me, I would never joke about my sister's life. I'm confident in my abilities, which is why I'm willing to perform this surgery on her."
"Uncle An, regarding your brain tumor, I'm about seventy or eighty percent confident that I can successfully remove it, giving you five to ten years of clarity to calmly teach Sister Kexin how to manage the company's affairs."
This was the idea that struck Lin Jie.
Given Lin Jie's current connections and resources, it's practically impossible for him to access a neurosurgery operating room and a trustworthy surgical team to assist him!
Lin Jie also sensed that even Hu Yuanqing, who is closest to him, would not believe he has this ability.
He vaguely felt that his relationship with Hu Yuanqing could only go so far, as if an invisible barrier stood between them, preventing their relationship from deepening.
Meanwhile, An Weize, who has been in the medical equipment industry for many years, has close business relations with major hospitals, amassing a wealth of connections and resources.
For Lin Jie, this task is like ascending to the heavens, but for An Weize, it might just be a matter of calling in a few favors or spending some money.
Moreover, An Weize's current situation is quite dire!
If he doesn't undergo surgery, he'll die in a few months. If he does, there's a two-to-three in ten chance of dying on the operating table, a six-to-seven in ten chance of becoming cognitively impaired, and only a one in ten chance of getting the result he wants.
Besides, Lin Jie would first prove himself through Lin Miao's surgery, alleviating his concerns.
Weighing all these considerations, Lin Jie felt that An Weize was likely to agree with his plan.
At that moment, An Weize, appearing calm, sipped his tea slowly, but inside, he felt like a storm-tossed sea with crashing waves,
The promise of five to ten years of clear-mindedness that Lin Jie mentioned was immensely appealing to him. More importantly, he couldn't think of a reason for Lin Jie to deceive him.
Or, if Lin Jie were deceiving him, his main goal would be to leverage him for accessing the operating room and assembling a surgical team to operate on his sister?
But, as long as he succeeds in his sister's surgery, it would prove his ability and not constitute deception.
After pondering for a long time, An Weize suddenly realized that the tea in his cup was gone, yet he unknowingly kept sipping the empty cup.
He put down the teacup and softly said, "Lin Jie, this is too sudden and beyond belief. I need some time to think it over carefully."
Lin Jie also understood that it was impossible for An Weize to make a decision right then, so he said, "Uncle An, you'd better make up your mind within three months and make all necessary preparations."
"After three months, I might not be able to do anything about your brain tumor."
An Weize nodded, indicating he understood.
Lin Jie temporarily set aside the matter and said, "Uncle An, could you help me arrange a meeting with Professor Chen Shi? I have a baby patient entrusted to me and would like Professor Chen Shi's help."
Then, he briefly introduced the baby's situation to An Weize.
After hearing this, An Weize smiled slightly and said, "My brother-in-law has a good heart. He's a doctoral advisor at Binhai University Medical School and a visiting chief physician of general surgery at the Affiliated Hospital. Since this case is so rare, he should be willing to help."
Saying this, he took out his phone and dialed Professor Chen Shi's number.
Professor Chen Shi was indeed very interested in this case. After receiving the patient's examination information forwarded by Lin Jie, the two of them engaged in a lively discussion over the phone about the baby's condition and potential surgical plans.
An Weize didn't interrupt Lin Jie's lively conversation with Chen Shi; instead, he kept refilling Lin Jie's tea, preventing his throat from getting dry.
This call lasted for more than an hour, until An Weize's phone battery warned of low power, prompting Lin Jie and Chen Shi to reluctantly end their conversation.
At the end, Professor Chen Shi clearly told Lin Jie that he would personally be involved in the baby's treatment and would coordinate with the cardiology and orthopedics departments at the Affiliated Hospital.
He also advised Lin Jie to notify the baby's family to bring the child to the hospital as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this response, Lin Jie finally felt a wave of relief, immediately calling Yang Leyi to share the good news with her.
Naturally, he received a long string of grateful words from Yang Leyi.
As Lin Jie hung up the phone, An Weize, gently touching his now warm phone, asked meaningfully, "Lin Jie, did you deliberately talk to my brother-in-law for such a long time to show off a bit and indirectly prove to me your extensive medical knowledge as well?"
Lin Jie chuckled and honestly said, "I won't deny it; I indeed had that intention!"
"And also, I'm very interested in this corrective surgery. If it weren't for my position, I'd participate directly."
