As soon as Lin Jie exited the operating room, he was greeted by Zhai Siying, An Weize, An Kexin, and others waiting outside.

To his surprise, he also saw Lin Miao.

First, Lin Jie informed Zhai Siying, whose face was full of concern, that Tang You's surgery had gone very smoothly.

He then briefly explained the surgery situation and finally said that as long as they got through the critical observation period of one week, the next step would be a long recovery time.

"Dr. Lin, does Tang You need to wear that exoskeleton posture correction system right now?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Aunt Zhai, Tang You doesn't need it for the time being."

"She has to wait until the surgical wound heals a bit and there's absolutely no risk of infection before wearing it."

"What Tang You needs to focus on now is strengthening her body and resistance to avoid surgical wound infection."

Avoiding infection is something Lin Jie is particularly concerned about.

Not only did he add a few anti-inflammatory medications to the postoperative injections and oral medications for Tang You, but he also arranged for Guo Peng, Lu Xiaoyu, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, and others to take turns monitoring Tang You's health 24 hours a day, non-stop.

Lin Jie required that body temperature be measured every hour and blood samples be taken every two hours to measure white blood cell levels and more.

If inflammation occurs, it must be detected at the first opportunity.

After briefly greeting An Weize and An Kexin, Lin Jie approached Lin Miao and asked, "Miaomiao, why are you here too?"

Lin Miao giggled and said, "I knew today you had a major surgery to perform and coincidentally saw Uncle An and Sister Kexin coming over, so I tagged along with them on the way."

Saying this, she placed her hand on Lin Jie's shoulder and began massaging it, adding, "Brother, your shoulder muscles are very stiff. When we get home, I'll give you a deep full-body massage."

Lin Jie held her hand with a smile and said, "You little rascal, showing kindness for no reason, you must have an agenda. I'll give you a chance to speak your mind, so go ahead."

Lin Miao giggled, wrapped her arm around his, and said coyly, "I do have a small favor to ask, but there's no rush. We can wait until you get home or even after next Tuesday, it's not too late."

"Brother, you should change your clothes first..."

After getting ready, Lin Jie saw both An Kexin and Lin Miao waiting for him.

"Kexin, aren't you going to wait for Tang You to wake up from the anesthesia?"

An Kexin softly said, "No, I don't actually know Tang You."

"I'm here mainly to show respect to my father, and also to indirectly let someone know that I don't reject her."

"Expressing that intention is enough. Being overly enthusiastic wouldn't be conducive to long-lasting family harmony."

Lin Jie didn't want to interfere too much with her methods and thoughts, and they together took the elevator down to the lobby.

As soon as they exited the elevator and barely took a few steps, Lin Jie was called.

"Hi, Dr. Lin!"

"Little Dr. Lin, we've met again, what a coincidence!"

Seeing Zhang Shougang, Wang Xinshui, Cui Anshun, and several other senior experts approaching, Lin Jie stopped and courteously said, "Hello, esteemed seniors."

Zhang Shougang chuckled and said, "I haven't been to the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital for a few years, and this visit shows me quite a bit of change indeed."

"Little Dr. Lin, did you just finish a surgery?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I just completed an orthopedic surgery that lasted over eight hours, and I'm feeling quite exhausted, about to go home to rest."

"Since you're touring the hospital, I won't delay you further."

After saying this, Lin Jie clasped his hands in a polite gesture toward the senior experts and was about to turn and leave.

"Oh, Dr. Lin, please wait a moment!"

Cui Anshun called out to Lin Jie and said, "The few of us came to Binhai mainly drawn by the news about your challenges with that U.S. doctorate candidate."

"We were also intrigued and wanted to see for ourselves this medical prodigy who's been making waves in the medical community lately."

He looked Lin Jie up and down and nodded approvingly, saying, "From what we've gathered here, you haven't disappointed us."

"What impresses us most is that you've not been self-centered, focusing only on your own development, but have put considerable effort into teaching and nurturing others."

"Yes, indeed!"

Wang Xinshui agreed, "Dr. Lin, you've really done remarkably well."

"We've heard that every week you have two large lectures attended by four to five hundred students. Also, the medical book series you've compiled has sold two hundred thousand sets."

"Dr. Lin, you've done an exceptional job."

Zhang Shougang added, "And what we admire even more is that targeted medical training class."

"Dean Yuan told us that you intend to start from scratch, using your ideas to cultivate a new generation of renowned doctors for the country."

"Such grand aspirations not only earn our admiration but also make us feel ashamed that you're accomplishing things we haven't managed in a lifetime."

"Therefore, after some discussions, we've decided to support your targeted medical training class!"

Lin Jie politely said, "Thank you. As for this medical class, in fact, my contribution is minimal. It's more the school that is putting in a lot of effort to handle this matter."

"I am, of course, very welcoming of the support from all the seniors."

"However, these matters are not under my jurisdiction. They are handled by Dean Yuan and others. I will pass on the message to Dean Yuan and ask him to liaise with all the seniors."

Cui Anshun laughed and said, "We wanted to discuss this idea with you first and hear your opinion. There is no rush."

Lin Jie, somewhat helpless and frustrated, said, "Then I am all ears."

Cui Anshun glanced at the other companions and said solemnly, "It's like this: we believe that under your leadership, Dr. Lin, this medical class will have unlimited prospects, and we just want to contribute a little."

"We think, given we are still in relatively good health, that we might each be able to teach some professional knowledge to this class. What do you think, Dr. Lin?"

Lin Jie was dumbfounded.

Damn it, he had initially thought these old guys might support with some funding, equipment, or professional books, but unexpectedly, they wanted to contribute by teaching the students.

However, judging from the surgery plan, Lin Jie found that their knowledge level had deteriorated significantly, and he didn't think highly of it.

Moreover, considering their ages of seventy or eighty, if any unexpected events happened during the class, it would be hard to deal with.

Lin Jie decided not to beat around the bush and said directly, "I appreciate your kind intentions, seniors, but I have to refuse."

"Firstly, considering your health and ages, it's unwise to put so much effort into this task."

"Secondly, I am the one who set up the teaching syllabus for this medical class."

"According to this syllabus, my assessment is that an associate professor level at a university would be fully capable of handling it. There's no need for you seniors to be personally lecturing."

Seeing that Cui Anshun wanted to say something, Lin Jie continued, "If the seniors are determined to do something for this medical class, honestly, the expenditure required to cultivate a renowned doctor is quite substantial."

"More funding for education is always welcome."

Hearing how straightforward Lin Jie was, the old experts exchanged glances with each other, passing a few covert looks.

Wang Xinshui sighed and said, "Now we are all carefree with nothing to do. Although we have more free time, our income has decreased significantly compared to before."

"The income we receive is just a bit of the retirement pension from the country, and maybe some royalty fees."

"However, no matter how poor one is, education shouldn't be neglected. I am willing to donate three months' salary to this medical class."

With Wang Xinshui taking the lead, the others quickly expressed their willingness verbally to donate three months' salary.

Hearing this number, Lin Jie couldn't help but scoff internally, thinking how stingy they were.

Considering their previous positions and statuses, even the apparent income during their service should have been a million per year at a minimum.

Not to mention the many additional incomes.

Like speaking favorably for the pharmaceutical company, networking, ribbon-cutting, participating in consultations, giving lectures, making reports, and even endorsing certain health products, etc.

Although their speed and ability to make money might not be as exaggerated as Lin Jie's.

But, over the years, accumulating wealth reaching billions might be unlikely, but over tens of millions should be the least.

Despite his internal complaints, Lin Jie, adhering to the principle that "meat is still meat even if it's a fly leg," cheerfully thanked the senior experts for their generosity on behalf of the medical class.

At this moment, Lin Jie slightly understood their purpose.

This meeting likely wasn't a chance encounter; they deliberately cornered him.

With a quick mind, Lin Jie pretended to say generously, "Thank you, seniors, for your staunch support of this medical class."

"I am committed to putting all my heart and efforts into running this medical class well."

"Currently, this medical class is in the process of student interviews and selection."

"During this process, I will surely oversee and urge the school to absolutely uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, focusing solely on the students' genuine capabilities."

"We will solely select based on talent, and not admit any students through connections or backdoor entries."

"Please rest assured, seniors, none of the twenty-nine admitted students will have entered through connections or backdoors."

Lin Jie solemnly promised, "This is my solemn commitment!"

Hearing this, Cui Anshun, for a moment, didn't know what to say and looked at the others.

Wang Xinshui and others were also looking at each other, their words stuck in their throats, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Jie excused himself by saying he was physically and mentally exhausted and took his leave immediately.

After getting into the car driven by Guan Muhua, An Kexin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ajie, your reaction this time was pretty quick!"

"A couple of words from you, and you blocked whatever those old guys had to say."

"Seeing them at a loss for words was really amusing."

She thought for a moment and analyzed, "I guess the news of your competition with Dr. Maxwell spread, which made them truly recognize and acknowledge your strength. That's why they hurriedly came to build connections."
