Damn it, that machine is actually at Kangning Hospital.

Lin Jie felt like he was being toyed with by fate, and unwilling to give up, he asked, "Lu Kaicheng, do you know if other hospitals have it? Not limited to Binhai, even large cities like the Capital or Guangzhou-Shenzhen might have it."

Lu Kaicheng slowly shook his head and said, "A CT scanner with a precision of one millimeter is sufficient for most people's examination needs. Few hospitals spend tens of millions to import higher precision machines for tests that might not be needed even once a year."

"The reason I know Kangning Hospital has this machine is because they advertised it the year before last. They claimed to have the country's only dual-helical CT scanner with a precision of 0.5 millimeters."

Lin Jie felt depressed and said to An Kexin, "Have the company's nationwide marketers check it out. Maybe in the past two years, other hospitals have imported such high-precision machines."

An Kexin nodded and said, "I'll give the order at tomorrow morning's meeting."

"A-Jie, does it have to be such a high-precision machine?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "To ensure no mistakes for that athlete, it is necessary."

An Kexin felt a bit of a headache.

Given the current tense relationship between Lin Jie and the Hu Family, the chance of borrowing their hospital's dual-helical CT scanner is slim to none.

She could only hope that during this time, a wealthy hospital has imported such a high-precision scanner…

Just past six in the evening, Lin Miao, Ling Mengjiao, Zou Manqing, and the pregnantly round Yang Leyi, along with Qin Gang, all arrived together.

With wedding preparations underway and the extra care Yang Leyi needed, Lin Jie basically gave Qin Gang time off and was driving around himself.

At 6:10, Yao Siyuan also arrived.

He didn't come alone. To Lin Jie's surprise, accompanying him was Cui Shanshan.

Cui Shanshan's arrival immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

An Kexin, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, Yu Momo, and others knew her identity, and within a minute, everyone in the room knew too.

Initially, everyone was quite tactful, surrounding her and tentatively asking questions.

But seeing Cui Shanshan's candid and open demeanor, the girls became more uninhibited, and the questions got more straightforward and even physical.

"You're so pretty, I can't see a trace of surgery. Did Lin Jie do this? Do you have any old photos?"

"Your voice is nice too, was this also changed by Lin Jie's surgery?"

"Did Lin Jie do your breasts too? They look great, can I touch them?"

"Can I ask, when you do that thing, do you feel anything? Is it intense?"

These bold questions made Lin Jie, Chen Qiuhua, Yao Siyuan, Qin Gang, and others embarrassed. They wanted to discreetly move away, but their legs wouldn't budge.

"I met her downstairs. She told the security she was looking for you, and the security didn't stop her, so I came up with her."

Yao Siyuan, after admiringly looking Cui Shanshan over, said to Lin Jie, "This is the difference between a master and an artisan."

"Under your miraculous hands, you turned a seven-foot-tall man into a seductive beauty, which is truly impressive."

"In the past few years, our department has done sex change operations... sigh..."

Yao Siyuan shook his head in disappointment, "You could only say it changed them from male to female in gender alone."

"In other aspects, it was just barely acceptable."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly and said, "I only played a small part in it. A big part was that this person was already as alluring as a woman before she changed!"

After answering a few questions, even as bold as she was, Cui Shanshan couldn't take it anymore and quickly said, "I came to seek Expert Lin's help this time. We can chat later, chat later!"

Saying this, she broke out of the circle and approached Lin Jie.

Seeing Cui Shanshan's face flushed red as blood, Lin Jie glared at Zhang Xiaoxiao, Chen Lili, Zou Manqing, and others who stood not far behind her, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to ask Doctor Guan Yifan to check you out?"

Cui Shanshan shook her head and took a deep breath, "Expert Lin, my body has recovered well, there's nothing uncomfortable."

Saying this, she pulled a letter from a small handbag she carried, handing it over, "I came this time to petition on behalf of our special group."

Lin Jie didn't take the letter from her hand but asked, "Petition? What do you mean?"

"Expert Lin, there are actually many people like me in the whole of Binhai. Most are very cautious, hiding their true selves from family and friends."

Cui Shanshan explained with a bitter expression, "People like us sometimes gather to vent the frustrations of not being understood."

"With your help, Expert Lin, I feel liberated and reborn, but many others are still suffering in pain."

"At the same time, your exceptional medical skills demonstrated on me have made others who share my plight deeply envious."

She earnestly said, "Expert Lin, you now have fame and status. We would like to ask you to speak on our behalf, to call for more understanding and tolerance towards us from the public."

"Also, we hope you can perform more transgender surgeries, to help liberate more people like me."

Looking at the one who had transformed into a social activist before him, Lin Jie suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Sorry, I'm just a doctor. I won't get involved in other matters."

He couldn't help but add a few more words, "With the development of society, people's tolerance and inclusiveness are growing stronger. I'm sure you've experienced this deeply."

"Considering our country's conditions and reality, I think it's better to quietly push this forward rather than forcibly drive it."

"As for performing more transgender surgeries, my surgical schedule is fully booked at the moment. I might take on such surgeries in the future, but for now, they are not included in my surgical plans."

Both requests were rejected. Although Cui Shanshan was very disappointed, she understood that Lin Jie couldn't be coerced.

She apologized for the disturbance, left the petition letter, and then took her leave.

As soon as she left, Lin Jie became the target of the surrounding women's attention.

Zou Manqing patted her small chest and said coyly, "Brother-in-law, I've always wanted this to be a bit bigger."

Chen Lili pointed at her nose and urgently shouted, "Great Expert Lin, I just want to fix my nose, just my nose. You did say my nose was too big."

Du Feixue also joined in the fun and said, "I want to fix something too. I've realized my appearance doesn't quite match my voice. I want to be even more beautiful."

"What's there to fix!"

Lin Jie grimaced and responded, "No matter how good the artificial, it's never as good as the original, the natural. I suggest you look at more examples of failed cosmetic surgeries online to warn yourselves."

Du Feixue nonchalantly replied, "Those failed surgeries online are because they found unreliable doctors. Lin Jie, you have no record of failure."

Lin Jie snorted and said, "No past failures don't guarantee no future failures. No one can be a hundred percent sure there won't be any accidents in surgery."

At this moment, Lu Kaicheng's voice came from the dining room, "The food is ready, everyone come over..."

At the table, Lu Kaicheng, Chen Qiuhua, Qin Gang, Yao Siyuan, and others stood firmly by Lin Jie's side, expressing their lack of support for cosmetic surgery, and even disgust.

This greatly diminished the enthusiasm for cosmetic enhancement that the women had, incited by Cui Shanshan.

An Kexin smiled with interest and said, "Ajie, if you don't object, in a few days, I might have a talk with this Cui Shanshan to see if she's interested in becoming the promotional model for our hospital's plastic surgery department."

"I find that she is a perfect and charming spokesperson for plastic surgery, able to spark ambition in many people."

Lin Jie indifferently said, "As long as Cui Shanshan agrees, I have no objections."

Chen Lili suddenly asked, "Lin Jie, let me ask, how's the progress of that medical orientation class?"

"I haven't been following that closely. Kexin, do you know?" Lin Jie turned to An Kexin.

An Kexin happily introduced, "I do know quite a bit about this medical orientation class."

"Currently, the person in charge of the project at the school has already gathered nearly ten experts to design the screening and assessment projects and questions for the students, and to set the standards for passing."

"The school has arranged five people to answer consultation calls, and they're busy every day with many interested inquiries."

"I suppose there are many trying to pull strings and find connections, right?" Chen Lili continued to ask.

An Kexin nodded and said helplessly, "This is inevitable in a society of relationships. Indeed, there have been many requests."

"However..."

An Kexin said solemnly, "We have reached a consensus that no matter the connections or background, all must undergo assessment and succeed by their true abilities."

"No exceptions!"

"This class is not only the school's painstaking effort but also Ajie's. We ensure that each selected student is the cream of the crop among their peers and is a diligent student who loves medicine..."

The gathering ended after ten o'clock.

Lin Jie didn't go to rest but went to the study, opened the practice surgery videos that the students did in the afternoon, and commented on each student's surgical performance on the computer.

He had watched each individual's performance in the operating room and already had a good grasp. As the video progressed, he occasionally edited in a voice note to point out someone's mistake...
