"On page two hundred sixty-seven of this book, you wrote that the endocrine glands of the pancreas, the PP cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide..."

The young man recited a passage from the book, saying proudly, "Professor Lin, regarding the description of PP cells, especially the function of pancreatic polypeptide, you got a little wrong."

"You wrote in the book that the function of pancreatic polypeptide is to inhibit gastric motility, pancreatic secretion, and gallbladder contraction, but in fact, what actually inhibits gastric motility is..."

Listening to him correct the error piece by piece, Lin Jie just listened quietly until the young man finally stopped.

Lin Jie nodded slightly, praising, "As a first-year student at the Medical College, knowing all this, you can say your understanding of medical knowledge is quite deep."

"Is it familial heritage?"

The young man nodded, saying proudly, "My father is a well-known expert in gastroenterology."

Lin Jie responded, "The theoretical knowledge you just described comes from the first edition of the medical monograph 'Digestive System' by German medical expert Dr. Joyce Skram, right?"

With an expression of unconcealed surprise, the young man said, "Just from hearing me talk a bit, you can tell which medical monograph it came from?"

However, as he looked down at the book in his left hand, he suddenly realized.

The young man raised the book in his left hand and smiled, "Oh, you saw it, no wonder."

"That's right, Professor Lin, I've read this classic medical monograph 'Digestive System' multiple times."

"That's why I could hear the error in the point you mentioned in class."

Lin Jie chuckled, "This classmate, what you're holding is only the first edition."

"Three years ago, Joyce Skram revised it and released a second edition, correcting five errors."

"What you just mentioned is one of the errors corrected."

"If you don't believe it, you can borrow the second edition of 'Digestive System' from the library at the Medical College."

After saying this, Lin Jie no longer paid attention to the stunned young man and returned to his own office.

For this guy who took the initiative to point out errors, Lin Jie couldn't see eye to eye with him from the bottom of his heart.

If he had actively stood up during that class or found Lin Jie afterward to speak about what he presumed was an error, Lin Jie would have appreciated his actions.

However, because of Lin Jie's deliberate disregard, he held a grudge, even waiting for the book to be published before proudly coming in to correct him. That was a bit unbearable.

This guy has a narrow mindset.

Moreover, Lin Jie did not recognize this young man's rather profound medical knowledge.

Joyce Skram revised five errors in 'Digestive System,' Lin Jie mentioned three different parts in that class, yet this guy only picked out one.

It shows his grasp of knowledge is still just rote memorization, superficial.

Back in his office, Lin Jie decisively put this small incident behind him, found General Meng Yang's number, and dialed it.

Although the call was connected, the person who answered claimed to be General Meng's secretary, informing that General Meng was in a meeting.

Lin Jie had to ask the secretary to pass a message, asking General Meng to call back when convenient.

Just as he put down the phone, Lei Jun knocked and entered.

"Expert Lin, I heard you're forming a medical team for a separation surgery on conjoined twins with cranial connections?"

Lei Jun self-recommended, "For such a case with two infants, the bone repair certainly requires an orthopedic surgeon with specific experience, Expert Lin, please let me join."

Lin Jie smiled, "Dr. Lei, I acknowledge your ability, but aren't you currently busy with the sink development and Yao Henan's surgical preparation?"

"Expert Lin, it's not conflicting!"

Lei Jun assured, "I can completely manage both surgeries."

"Moreover, it's you hosting these two surgeries, surely they won't be performed back-to-back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie thought it made sense.

In his plan, Yao Henan's surgery was to be performed as soon as possible this week, at the latest next week.

And the surgery for the conjoined twins required a longer preparation process, with several simulated surgeries, and if it could be done before the Spring Festival, it would be commendable.

Thinking of this, Lin Jie said, "Dr. Lei, since you insist, you're welcome to join the surgical team."

"By the way, how is the progress of the sink equipment development?"

Lei Jun assured, "Expert Lin, rest assured."

"I've asked someone to recommend a very famous medical equipment design team. For them, this sink equipment is quite simple."

"According to the plan, the final product will be built by this Wednesday, then trial runs on Thursday and Friday to find possible defects and make improvements."

This progress aligns relatively well with Lin Jie's expectations.

He solemnly reminded, "Dr. Lei, although this sink equipment isn't complex, it concerns a patient's future life, and there must be no carelessness."

"Please make sure to remind that design team of this."

"Expert Lin, the team knows this sink equipment is specially made for Yao Henan."

"Their sympathy for Yao Henan's plight is deep, and since this is a surgery you'll be leading, they've unanimously stated they'll contribute with the utmost respect and the best products."

Lin Jie snorted, "For me, no matter how nice the words are, I only care about the final results..."

Lei Jun's arrival was just the beginning.

After him, Head of Plastic Surgery, Guan Yifan, Pediatrics Department Chief, as well as Chiefs of Anesthesiology and Nursing Departments, also came to Lin Jie, requesting to join the surgical team.

Being able to reach the position of deputy chief or chief at the University Affiliated Hospital is in itself a testament of capability.

Lin Jie did not refuse their request.

Near noon, Ling Mengjiao came to Lin Jie's office.

"Lin Jie, I just represented the Anlin Charity Fund and discussed some specific work and promotional matters with Dean Cheng and the Welfare Institute's director."

Ling Mengjiao reported: "The treatment costs for this pair of conjoined twins will be greatly reduced by the hospital, and the hospital's support fund will also cover part of it."

"However..."

She glanced at Lin Jie and said softly, "Dean Cheng said that a large part of the treatment expenses for these conjoined twins is your and the participating doctors' labor costs."

"This surgery is sure to attract widespread social attention."

"If someone digs out that you take too much from the surgical allowance and subsidies, perhaps..."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes slightly and said, "I understand. I will tell Dean Cheng that for this surgery, I am offering my services for free."

"As for the other doctors participating in the surgical team, I will also have a word with them."

Ling Mengjiao smiled, saying, "Dean Cheng did mention that based on the promotional effects of this surgery, a generous bonus will be prepared for you under another name."

Lin Jie waved dismissively, saying, "Although money is still important to me, I'm not short of these hundreds of thousands; what I need is tens of millions."

"Hey, what's your promotional strategy?"

Ling Mengjiao said softly, "Instead of proactively promoting under our own names, we'll initially have people release some posts online through various identities, like breaking news netizens and patients, then appropriately increase the hype."

"Then, we'll use our connections to ask renowned influencers and live streaming stars to publicize this matter."

"With the welfare institute involved, abandoned disabled children, charity, craniopagus twins, one of the world's rarest craniopagus separation surgeries, coupled with your fame..."

Ling Mengjiao confidently stated, "We are quite certain that this event will become a lasting social hot topic."

Lin Jie acknowledged, "You're a professional in this area."

"Let me know if there's anything I need to coordinate."

Seeing it was almost noon, he got up and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch."

Ling Mengjiao also stood up, declining, "Thank you! But there are still many things to prepare back at the foundation, I'll just grab something on the way back."

Seeing her firm tone, Lin Jie didn't insist and walked her out of the office.

In the afternoon, near four o'clock, Lin Jie finally received a call from Meng Yang.

Once the call connected, Meng Yang apologized, "It's the end of the year, and being Monday, things are a bit busy."

"Expert Lin, tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Lin Jie chuckled over the phone, "I need you to help with some communication."

"Gao Yanhong, Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, He Yimin, four young military doctors, have been with me for an entire academic year. This year, they've primarily been learning medical theoretical knowledge."

"Next year, I'm planning to guide them in medical practice."

"Additionally, they're all PhD graduates and will need to take the medical licensure exam next year too."

"Can you ask what plans the military has for their future?"

Meng Yang thoughtfully replied, "I'll communicate with their superiors about this."

"Expert Lin, if you could be fully responsible for their future, what would you do?"

Lin Jie considered for a moment and said, "I'd continue to mentor them for another two to three years."

"By then, they'll be able to handle various patient issues independently."

"After that, they'll be ready to forge their own path."

Meng Yang said seriously, "I understand. I'll get back to you on this matter as soon as possible."

Just as Lin Jie hung up the call, another one came from Tao Taqing.

"Dr. Lin, the patient you referred, I've completed the brachial plexus repair surgery for him."

"The surgery went smoothly!"

Lin Jie thanked him and exchanged a few polite words before hanging up, feeling immediately relieved.

He genuinely didn't want any more entanglements with the Xie Family in the Capital City.
