Please, Mr. Fu, along with Fu Xiuyuan, who came along, sit down in the living room. After the tea was served, Lin Jie, forcing himself to stay alert, directly asked, "Mr. Fu, has there been a definite result in the investigation of that matter?"

Mr. Fu sighed lightly and nodded, "There is a result."

"I felt it was very necessary to come personally and explain to you, Expert Lin."

"Sir, you are too courteous. In fact, you could have just called."

Mr. Fu shook his head and insisted, "This matter was our Fu Family's fault. If you, Expert Lin, hadn't discovered it in time, there could have been serious consequences. It's only right that I come personally."

He sighed again and said softly, "The farm in the far Great Southwest employs locals to do the farming. For so many years, there hadn't been any issues, so it's inevitable that there was some laxity in management and supervision."

"Yesterday morning, He Chang flew there for an on-site investigation and unexpectedly discovered that there were quite a few opium poppies planted in the garden. After He Chang's inquiry, it turned out..."

Mr. Fu said with some helplessness, "The guy managing the garden, his son opened a hot pot restaurant in the city. Business wasn't doing well, so he secretly added some poppy shells in the base ingredients. This was how the restaurant's business gradually picked up."

"But poppy shells aren't easy to find, so that guy thought the farm was remote and unchecked, and started planting some poppies himself."

"This is what we've found out about the situation so far."

Mr. Fu said apologetically, "Following your suggestion, after these few months of adjustment, the children at home can now eat grains, oils, meats, eggs, and vegetables purchased from outside."

"With this issue at the farm, I'm considering shutting it down."

"But if I do that, the weekly deliveries here..."

Lin Jie quickly said, "Sir, it's so considerate of you to still think about this matter."

"It's really fine. For many years, we were eating vegetables from the market. Now, with better conditions, we just buy some so-called non-polluting green vegetables from the supermarket."

"The produce you instructed to send over, we treat as a treat for family and friends. It's not to the point where we can't live without it."

Mr. Fu chuckled and said, "I've heard a little about the gatherings you hold every Wednesday at home."

"No matter what, this was our oversight initially, and thanks to your reminder, this matter was discovered in advance."

"Xiuyuan..."

At this call, Fu Xiuyuan, who was sitting quietly next to Mr. Fu, stood up and took out a green card to hand over.

"Expert Lin, this is a VIP card for Binhai Shen'nong Fresh Agricultural. You can directly order quality-assured meats, birds, fish, eggs, grains, oils, and vegetables online, and the company delivers to your door."

"Currently, the oils, meats, eggs, and vegetables we consume are ordered from this company's website."

"Expert Lin, you can purchase any item from this website without worrying about the costs."

Lin Jie understood that it was the Fu Family covering the cost.

Since daily spending on food was very limited, he didn't decline much and accepted the card.

Mr. Fu also stood up and said, "Expert Lin, I see you look exhausted, and you must be very tired. I won't disturb your rest then..."

Saying this, Lin Jie still insisted on seeing Mr. Fu and Fu Xiuyuan out of the apartment building. It wasn't until he watched them get in the car and leave that he returned...

In the car, Mr. Fu, looking somewhat tired, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes lightly, and said softly, "The Xie Family in Capital City is making a big scene over the will."

"The sons and daughters actually hope their father dies sooner, which has made them a laughingstock."

He said mockingly, "I never thought such things would happen to me, too. Truly, if one lives to be old enough, people and even dogs dislike him."

Fu Xiuyuan was shocked and said with some fear, "Grandfather, why do you say that? Could it be that behind this matter, behind this matter..."

Mr. Fu calmly said, "For nearly twenty years, there have been no issues, and it just happens at this time."

"The old Huang, who managed the farm before, was in good health, but was ceremonially retired with the excuse of enjoying old age relaxedly, and his entire family was sent off ceremonially as well."

"Doesn't this indicate something?"

Mr. Fu said softly with a snort, "These things, you can't find hard evidence on, but as long as I understand in my heart, it's enough."

"Grandfather, grandfather..."

At this moment, Fu Xiuyuan didn't know what to say.

In his heart, he believed the matter was due to management negligence and the recklessness of those below.

However, it seemed the old man had a preconceived notion, so saying more might place himself under suspicion...

On Wednesday morning, Lin Jie came once again to the Affiliated Hospital.

He first went to the pediatrics ward to check on the post-surgery recovery of young Lucy, then proceeded to the ENT department to perform a minor cosmetic surgery on Ni Ni.

With this, Lin Jie considered the medical work for Ni Ni done and didn't need to focus on it anymore.

As for Cui Shanshan, the transgender patient, her discharge procedures were completed yesterday.

In the future, she will still need to come to the hospital periodically for checkups, allowing Guan Yifan and others to collect subsequent experimental tracking data.

In the afternoon, Lin Jie returned home and found Zhang Xiaoxiao sorting a lot of very exquisite and beautiful vegetables.

"Which website did you order from?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yeah, the delivery speed is actually pretty fast, got here in less than two hours. The website claims everything is green and pollution-free, but I don't think it looks like it at all."

"A-Jie, look at these vegetables, they're so pretty they look like flowers. They definitely don't look like they're naturally grown."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "At least they look pleasing to the eye and they make you hungry."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, let's not tell those guys coming to the gathering today. Let's see if they can taste the difference?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "Only Lu Kaicheng might have a chance, the others definitely won't."

"Besides, those guys coming here to gather, their primary goal isn't the food. Isn't it to get closer to you and to learn some medical skills from you?"

"Even if you just give them pickled vegetables and plain porridge, they'll still rave about how delicious it is..."

The guests arrived a bit early today, with Lu Kaicheng and Chen Lili arriving even before four o'clock together.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Lu Kaicheng eagerly asked, "Lin Jie, is it true that Anlin Hospital and Bin University Medical College are teaming up to launch an exclusive medical program? And you're going to be the course advisor and also oversee their practical internships?"

Lin Jie was quite puzzled and asked, "How did you hear about that? The negotiations between Kexin and Dean Yuan haven't even concluded yet."

"So it's true."

Lu Kaicheng took out his phone and, while showing his social feed to Lin Jie, said, "From around 2 PM, this news has been flooding the feed."

"The person who broke the news said it was a unanimous decision made at Binhai University's morning administrative meeting today."

Lu Kaicheng scrolled through a few messages, pointing them out to Lin Jie as he read, "Principal Pan emphasized that this will be the most important event for Binhai University this academic year, and a major focus for all subsequent years as well."

"The faculty for this exclusive medical program is extravagant, with Expert Lin Jie responsible for creating the curriculum and syllabus. Professors will lead small classes, and academicians will be invited to give thematic lectures irregularly."

"Every week, a doctoral supervisor professor is designated to provide one-on-one mentorship to the students."

"The advisor for the exclusive medical program will also serve as an assistant dean at the Medical College, directly answering to the dean. The program will also have a full-time psychological counselor on staff."

"Each academic year, the funding spent on cultivating each student is no less than two hundred thousand, with no upper limit. The funding comes from a special grant provided by the president."

Lu Kaicheng clicked his tongue in envy, saying, "With such favorable conditions for cultivation, it makes me want to go back and redo college."

"The support these students get even outshines that for doctoral graduates. It's practically like preparing candidates for the Nobel Prize in Physiology!"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "If it were that easy to cultivate Nobel Prize candidates, given our national training system, the Nobel Prize wouldn't go to anyone else."

"It's just, decisions made at a morning administrative meeting getting spread by the afternoon, the speed of this news dissemination is really impressive."

"Some people just have remarkable abilities..."

Lu Kaicheng, still curious, asked, "Lin Jie, can you share some insider info?"

"Like the program duration and admission process, is it self-directed early admission or through standard entrance exams, or some other method?"

Lin Jie politely declined, "Let's wait a bit, for when Kexin returns."

"She'll let us know about the specific matters that have been finalized..."

Following after were Chen Qiuhua, Du Feixue, Yao Siyuan, Chen Fanzhi and others, and the first thing they asked Lin Jie about was this exclusive medical program.

This let Lin Jie know that the news really spread at quite an astonishing speed.

An Kexin got back a bit late today, was practically the last to arrive, and everyone was essentially waiting for her return to start the gathering.

The group wasn't in a rush to eat but first inquired about the exclusive medical program.

An Kexin first confirmed that the news circulating on social media wasn't just rumors, but a truly finalized decision, which has already been written into the cooperation agreement between Anlin Hospital and Binhai University.

She further confirmed that this exclusive medical program would be an eight-year curriculum, with five years of theoretical learning and three years of practical hospital training personally supervised by Lin Jie. Graduating successfully would earn a Ph.D. degree.

The admission method for the program involves a series of tests organized by Binhai University, and if passed, the student's need not sit for the standard entrance exams again.

After An Kexin finished her explanation, Lin Jie asked a question he was personally very concerned about, "What's the agreed number of admissions?"

An Kexin hesitated a moment before chuckling softly and said, "Twenty-nine!"

Lin Jie widened his eyes and said, "Kexin, I gave you a range of twenty to thirty people, and you ended up negotiating for twenty-nine?"

"Kexin, Kexin, you've overturned my impression of you. Your negotiating skills are truly... astounding!"

An Kexin blushed slightly and said coyly, "Dean Yuan made a lot of concessions in other areas, but he was unyielding on the number of admissions."

"I really had to put in a lot of effort to get to twenty-nine."

Lin Jie honestly didn't know what to say, so with resignation and a bit of frustration, he said, "Fine, fine, at least it's within the upper limit I gave you, securing one extra person is a bit of an achievement."

"This... this..."

An Kexin pointed towards An Kemeng and sheepishly said, "Kemeng isn't counted within those twenty-nine..."
