Thursday morning, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.

Jiang Hao was walking with his head down when he suddenly noticed a shadow rushing straight toward him.

Just as they were about to collide, Jiang Hao quickly dodged to the right.

The other person made the same evasive move, except to the left.

With a thud, they collided solidly with each other.

Fortunately, the other person had a notably protruding belly, which cushioned the impact a bit.

However, their foreheads met quite firmly.

Jiang Hao rubbed his forehead and exchanged an awkward smile with the other person, just about to step aside and walk away, when he heard a soft giggle nearby.

He looked toward the sound and saw, not far away, Qi Xingfen standing there elegantly dressed in an autumn suit.

Jiang Hao immediately stepped forward, smiling, "Dr. Qi, hello! What brings you to our hospital today?"

Qi Xingfen chuckled lightly, "Came at someone's invitation."

"Dr. Jiang, you should watch your steps. If you had bumped into an elderly person, there goes a month's salary."

Jiang Hao rubbed his slightly red forehead and chuckled, "Just a moment of carelessness, just a moment."

He thought of something and asked, "Dr. Qi, could it be that you were invited by Expert Lin too?"

Qi Xingfen nodded gently.

Jiang Hao smiled, "Me too, let's go together."

The two entered the elevator together and pressed the button for the floor of Lin Jie's office.

"Dr. Jiang, I haven't congratulated you yet. Successfully completing a complex frontal glioma resection last week."

"Congratulations!"

Qi Xingfen said with a slightly wistful tone, "Before, I could boldly claim we were on par, but the success of that surgery makes me hesitant to say that now."

Jiang Hao modestly replied, "Just a fluke, just a stroke of luck."

Qi Xingfen snorted lightly, "Why haven't I had such luck?"

"Dr. Jiang, I bet this is a case of being the benefactor of proximity, learning a lot from Expert Lin, right?"

Jiang Hao didn't deny it, nodding earnestly, "What you said is indeed true."

"Expert Lin's generous teaching has benefited me immensely."

"I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall surgical command skills."

"How should I say it, I have gained confidence in surgeries I was uncertain about before. Unlike before, when the outcome depended on luck."

Qi Xingfen, like a little girl, pouted playfully, "Dr. Jiang, are you saying this on purpose to make me jealous?"

Jiang Hao chuckled, explaining, "Not at all, not at all! If there's any jealousy, it's on my part, I envy that guy named Cui who has won you over, this beauty."

Qi Xingfen smiled brightly and said, "Well, you don't have to mention that."

"Back then, you also had a chance; if only you had been more proactive."

"But then again, if we were together, we'd probably spend more time in the operating room than at home."

Jiang Hao laughed lightly, "There's a high chance of that."

"Oh, Dr. Qi, I heard you're planning to leave Donghua Hospital."

"Anlin Hospital has been lacking a neurosurgery director for some time, aren't you interested?"

Qi Xingfen sighed, "I'm naturally interested. But my husband's business hasn't been doing too well these past two years, and I need to support the family..."

As they talked, the two exited the elevator and arrived at Lin Jie's office, where he was on the phone.

"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, feel free to sit down. There's water and drinks in the fridge!"

Greeting them, Lin Jie picked up the phone again, "Dean Yuan, please tell those senior experts that I'm occupied with surgeries and preparing for next Tuesday's competition, so I really don't have time."

"Ask them to send their surgical plans to my email, I will review them carefully."

Lin Jie listened to his phone for a while and laughed, "I said so, why would someone offer guidance for no reason at all."

"Let those young people undergo interview selection assessments; their success will depend on their true abilities..."

Jiang Hao took two bottles of water from the fridge, handed one to Qi Xingfen, and after Lin Jie put down the phone, said, "This targeted medical class has been the hot topic in the Binhai Medical Community lately."

"Many people regret not having the right son or daughter at home."

Qi Xingfen echoed, "Yes, Dr. Jiang's son and our daughter are only in elementary school."

"For us medical folks, we usually marry in our thirties or later."

"Ah, talking more about this only brings tears."

She asked with great interest, "Expert Lin, when are you and President An planning to hold your celebration?"

"It's only confirmed for next autumn for now, the exact date hasn't been set yet!"

Lin Jie sat down opposite Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen, saying, "Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, I've invited you here because I'd like you to assist me with a brain surgery scheduled for this Tuesday."

"I wonder if you both have the time?"

"Yes, I definitely have the time."

Jiang Hao said excitedly, "To be honest, it's an honor to participate in such a significant surgery."

Qi Xingfen nodded and said, "I also feel very honored."

"Expert Lin, what exactly do you need us to do?"

Lin Jie extended both hands. In each hand, he held a thin, transparent hollow fiber tube.

"Help me dissolve the blood clots in the patient's brain."

Jiang Hao picked up the fiber tube, roughly as thin as a hair, and examined it closely for a moment.

He glanced at Qi Xingfen, who was equally perplexed, then looked at Lin Jie and asked, "Expert Lin, what's the purpose of this slender thing?"

Lin Jie smiled, got up, returned to his desk, turned on the projector, and projected a three-dimensional diagram onto the wall while drawing the window curtains.

"There are nine blood clots in the patient's brain."

"Five of them are relatively easy to deal with; I plan to use traditional craniotomy to remove them."

"But these four clots..."

Lin Jie pointed with a laser pointer at the positions of the four blood clots on the diagram and said, "Their location is deep, making it easy for surgical instruments to cause significant collateral damage."

"And smaller collateral damage means a much higher level of surgical difficulty."

"Especially the clot above the thalamus; there's simply no surgical route that doesn't result in serious collateral damage."

Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen both nodded in agreement.

These past few days, they had also been considering surgical plans to remove these clots but hadn't come up with an appropriate method.

Based on their own assessments, if they were operating themselves, considering possible post-surgery harm, they would advise the patient to maintain the status quo and allow the clots to dissolve naturally over time.

At this moment, Lin Jie clicked the mouse again, and several straight lines appeared on the diagram, extending from various positions outside the skull to the location of the clots.

Lin Jie explained, "These straight lines represent the hollow fiber tubes in your hands."

"I will insert the fiber tubes from these positions, inject a thrombolytic agent, and gradually dissolve the clots, then extract the waste liquid."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen stood up abruptly, staring at the projection screen, lost in thought.

After a while, Jiang Hao exhaled deeply and asked incredulously, "Expert Lin, can you effectively avoid the brain cell information connection nodes in the brain?"

Lin Jie said softly, "Not all, but most!"

"Damage and destruction are still unavoidable. But the damage caused by this method is much less severe compared to traditional methods like manipulating the suction head."

Qi Xingfen couldn't help but exhale, exclaiming, "This novel surgical method suits a genius like you, Expert Lin."

"People like us can't possibly grasp the brain structure to such a refined degree."

She looked at Lin Jie's head and couldn't resist asking, "Expert Lin, did you have some kind of infinite capacity chip implanted in your brain? Otherwise, how could you remember such a vast amount of information?"

Lin Jie returned a profoundly enigmatic smile.

Even Shen Lanruo was astonished about this aspect.

Human memory typically fades over time.

Shen Lanruo was also concerned about this, which is why, in the first few months, she tirelessly taught Lin Jie, pushing him to his limits to systematically impart medical knowledge to him.

Yet more than a year has passed since then.

The vast medical knowledge Lin Jie absorbed is still vividly present in his mind, as if it were yesterday.

Moreover, the new knowledge Lin Jie has learned has seamlessly integrated with the old knowledge he had processed, showing no signs of forgetting.

This prompted Shen Lanruo to sourly remind Lin Jie that eventually, with his mind crammed full of knowledge, he would either go insane or reach the brain's capacity limit and die from brain overload.

Jiang Hao calmed his excited emotions and said, "Expert Lin, your surgical method will surely shock the global neurosurgery community."

"It's an honor to participate in such a groundbreaking surgery, Expert Lin, thank you!! Thank you!!"

"What exactly do we need to do..."

Lin Jie explained, "Injecting the thrombolytic agent through this hollow fiber tube to dissolve the clots is a process that requires patience and precise control. My students aren't skilled enough; I need to rely on you two for this task."

Jiang Hao held the fiber tube up to his eyes and pledged, "Expert Lin, rest assured, we won't let you down."

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Looking at his phone, Lin Jie smiled and said, "The patient and his family have been picked up at the hospital from the airport. Let's go take a look together..."
