On Thursday and Friday, two more experimental monkeys successively sacrificed themselves for medical research.

Perhaps with more preparation time, Lin Jie's students performed increasingly well in the experimental surgeries.

The most direct indication was that the experimental monkeys lasted longer during surgery.

In Thursday's surgery, the experimental monkey showed no vital signs an hour and a half before the end of the procedure.

In Friday's surgery, the experimental monkey only lost its vital signs half an hour before the end.

This made the surgeons wish they could perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the monkey, hoping it could hold on for just half an hour more.

Saturday was the wedding day of Chen Fanzhi and Meng Xiuyan, and Lin Jie, who had promised to help, arrived at the Crown Holiday Hotel early in the morning.

He didn't need to participate in the ceremony of greeting the bride, just to help at the hotel by welcoming some distinguished guests.

The hotel took the wedding very seriously. The lobby on the first floor was newly decorated with flowers, colorful ribbons, and balloons, accompanied by joyful music, creating a festive atmosphere.

The hotel also used flowers and screens to section off a large area in the lobby as a check-in and reception area for guests.

Arriving early, Lin Jie signed in and gave a cash gift of 68,000 before being guided to the reception area.

There, a circle of high-end soft seats was arranged in pairs, accommodating ten people in total.

On the small table between the soft seats were flowers and fruits, with two fresh-faced, festively dressed waiters standing nearby to pour tea and water.

This was where Lin Jie would be staying.

He would chat briefly with congratulatory guests here alongside Chen Shi.

Of course, the guests brought here held a certain status.

Most of the congratulatory guests would sign their names, give a red envelope, and then go directly to the banquet hall to wait.

Seeing that Chen Shi hadn't arrived yet and there were no other guests, Lin Jie took out his phone, opened the email sent by Tian Xiangyu at midnight, and accessed the attachment.

This was the anatomical report of the experimental monkey's brain from Tuesday, sent by Tian Xiangyu.

Lin Jie skimmed through the text, quickly scrolling past images and data analysis, directly to the conclusion of the report for dissection results!

No organic changes observed in brain tissue!

No significant changes in the transplanted arterial and venous vessels observed!

Upon seeing these two conclusions, Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the verification time was short and insufficient to prove future stability, the dissection result largely indicated the efficacy of the treatment method.

The results met expectations, and Lin Jie, feeling deeply gratified, returned to the first page of the dissection report and began to study it carefully…

He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly a hand appeared in front of him.

As the hand waved, a man's voice also reached his ears, "Expert Lin, what are you looking at so intently?"

Lin Jie looked up to find it was a familiar face, Xiang Rong, the editor-in-chief of "Clinical Medicine"!

Putting away his phone, he stood up and invited Xiang Rong to sit, smiling, "You're certainly early!"

"The farther the guests come from, the earlier they arrive. I slept on the train all night and arrived in Binhai early in the morning!"

Receiving the tea handed by the waiter, Xiang Rong took a sip and smiled, "Expert Lin, is your research on arterial and venous replacement about to enter the validation surgery phase?"

Lin Jie could not help but smile, "Your information is quite up-to-date. The young patient will be admitted to the hospital today, and barring any accidents, surgery will be scheduled for next week."

Xiang Rong chuckled and said, "I told you, my sources are everywhere, and you are one of my primary focuses."

"Expert Lin, after the validation surgery, your research project is almost at its conclusion. Another post-operative review in a month, and you'll be ready to report your findings."

"Expert Lin, shall we collaborate once again?"

"Collaborate? On what?" Lin Jie asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xiang Rong, his tone expectant, said, "In November's issue of 'Clinical Medicine,' we can make it a special issue."

"That issue of 'Clinical Medicine' will not only publish your research report on the project but also related findings from your research team."

"Simultaneously, it will include some other research articles related to arterial and venous replacement."

Lin Jie asked with great interest, "Have others already achieved some research outcomes in this area?"

Xiang Rong nodded and said, "To be honest, I already have over twenty papers in my hands related to your research theme."

He shook his head and sighed, "The ability of our compatriots to follow trends and ride on the coattails is indeed impressive."

"But these twenty-odd papers are mostly guesswork and speculation; even with experimental data support, the sample size is too small and the verification is lacking, making them of little worth for publication."

Xiang Rong excitedly said, "I have communicated with several major figures in medical research, and they are very interested in your concept, saying it has greatly inspired them. They have already started similar research themselves or had their research teams do so."

"In another month, some results can be expected."

He asked enthusiastically, "Expert Lin, how about it? Shall we collaborate on a special issue?"

Lin Jie did not answer directly, but asked, "How is the response in the international physiological medicine community to that paper in 'Nature'?"

"Expert Lin, you've asked the right person."

"Last night, I specifically communicated with some colleagues who conduct research on international journal indexes."

"Their statistics from September show that whether in terms of retrieval or citations, your paper ranks in the top ten within the category of physiological medicine."

With pride, Xiang Rong said, "This achievement is something that domestic research in physiological medicine hasn't reached in recent years."

Upon hearing this achievement, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel delighted, which he had also somewhat anticipated.

Since the paper's publication, he had frequently received emails from abroad for communication, sometimes as many as dozens a day.

When Lin Jie felt the other party's message was substantive and had depth, he would take time to reply.

If he felt some other emails were at a certain level, he would forward them to his students to respond.

Most emails with superficial content, he would simply ignore.

Through these email exchanges, Lin Jie got to know a few colleagues in the medical field who were quite impressive.

Seeing Lin Jie in silent thought, Xiang Rong asked nervously, "Expert Lin, you're not planning to submit to 'Nature' again, are you? It mainly publishes groundbreaking research, and your research report is no longer considered groundbreaking."

"Of course not, we'll collaborate on the special issue!"

Lin Jie gave a definite reply.

Actually, he had other choices, like the equally internationally authoritative journal 'Cell', which is a specialized publication in physiological medicine.

But Xiang Rong had helped him a lot, so he definitely had to reciprocate in some way.

Having received Lin Jie's promise, Xiang Rong felt relieved and smiled, saying, "Expert Lin, you don't have to worry about the international influence of 'Clinical Medicine' being small. Our English version is also one of the core journals in international journal indexes."

Lin Jie somewhat understood that this was 'Clinical Medicine' leveraging his current popularity to boost the international recognition of the journal.

This was essentially a mutual promotion, and this special issue also served as a publicity wave for himself.

Xiang Rong happily added, "By the way, let me congratulate you on your medical book series, which has sold 150,000 sets!"

This book series received financial support from 'Clinical Medicine', and although he would not get any actual benefits, it was still an impressive achievement for Xiang Rong and the 'Clinical Medicine' journal.

With a face full of smiles, Xiang Rong proudly said, "My judgment was indeed right. This is 150,000 sets, an unequivocal bestseller among all printed books sold nationwide."

"By the way, let me tell you one more thing."

He took a large sip from his teacup and said happily, "That assistant professor from Mingzhou Medical University, Yue Zuoguang, who accused you of plagiarism, has already resigned from the university in disgrace."

"From now on, he'll at most be a full-time doctor and won't make any further progress in other areas."

This result did not bother Lin Jie much, and he inquired, "Editor Xiang, do you know of any hospital or research institution in the country that has a scanner with a precision of 0.5 millimeters or higher?"

"Such high scanning precision?"

Xiang Rong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Expert Lin, do you have another research project coming up?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No, it's just needed for treating a patient!"

Xiang Rong made a sound of understanding and said, "I haven't focused much on that area, but I'll keep an eye out and help inquire about it."

At this moment, Chen Shi arrived.

Wearing a red Tang suit, his face was glowing as he accompanied a man of similar age but modestly dressed into the reception area.

"Editor Xiang, thank you for specially coming from the Capital City to attend my son's wedding!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Xiang Rong, Chen Shi pointed to the man beside him and introduced him to Lin Jie, "Lin Jie, this is my classmate from my overseas studies, Academician Mou Zhexing from Guangshen Tumor Hospital, a tumor expert."

It turned out to be an academician!

This gave Lin Jie a feeling of surprise that one cannot judge a book by its cover, and he politely said to the modestly dressed and ordinary-looking man, "Academician Mou, hello!"

Mou Zhexing smiled kindly and said warmly, "Dr. Lin, I often hear your name in Guangshen. You make me feel that I am indeed getting old and also make me realize just how formidable the young generation is."

Lin Jie humbly smiled in response to the compliment.

He heard him continue, "My purpose of coming here is first to attend my old classmate's son's wedding, and secondly, I want to invite Dr. Lin to collaborate on a project."

Another person here to discuss collaboration?

Before Lin Jie could speak, the other party continued, "Today is not the day to discuss matters. Dr. Lin, is there any convenient time in the next couple of days when we could sit down and talk?"

Lin Jie thought about his schedule for the next two days and said, "Academician Mou, I have some free time tomorrow afternoon."

"Great, then let's meet tomorrow afternoon, and I'll treat Dr. Lin to afternoon tea, Cantonese style afternoon tea!"
