After returning from the detention center to the Affiliated Hospital and having lunch, Lin Jie plunged into his office again to further optimize Yao Henan's surgical plan.

Not long after he entered the state, Lin Jie vaguely felt someone was watching him.

When he looked up, he saw Zhang Xiaoxiao standing in front of the desk.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here. Why didn't you say something?"

Lin Jie exaggeratedly patted his chest, pretending to be scared, and said, "If this were in the past, you might have forever lost this one-in-a-millennium rare brother of yours."

"A thousand-year-old demon?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao teased, poured Lin Jie a cup of water, and said, "I did knock, but you were too engrossed to hear it."

"A-Jie, are you studying Nannan's surgery?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "How is Nannan now?"

"She's quite well. After a busy morning, she's tired, washed up, and now she's asleep."

"A-Jie, tell me honestly, what level of recovery can Nannan expect after surgery?"

Lin Jie, naturally, was straightforward in response to Zhang Xiaoxiao's inquiry.

"We have now developed a great tool for postoperative recovery, a multifunctional bathtub device. As long as there aren't major complications during recovery, I'm about 60 to 70 percent confident that Nannan can regain the ability to sit, lie, and walk on her own."

"However, this sitting, lying, and walking will require some assistive tools, and her posture might be unattractive, which is likely."

"The possibility of her fully recovering like a normal person is extremely slim."

"Of course, there's also a possibility of surgical failure."

Lin Jie solemnly cautioned, "Another point to note is, with such a major surgery, there's a certain chance of irrecoverable accidents occurring during and after the surgery."

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't seem too worried on her face and said, "You've never failed before."

"This time, I believe you won't fail either."

Saying this, she pulled over a diagnostic chair, sat down seriously, and said, "A-Jie, I now want to talk to you about Nannan's future life."

"Nannan's future life?"

Lin Jie said somewhat puzzled, "I accepted Yao Jishun's entrustment, so I'm naturally responsible for Nannan's future life."

Zhang Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue and said, "You're a renowned doctor, very busy now and will get busier."

"You still need someone to take care of you, so how will you take care of Nannan?"

"Besides…"

She reminded in a solemn tone, "Nannan is fifteen, and you're just under twenty-two."

"Taking care of her? Aren't you worried about what Kexin might think?"

Lin Jie, somewhat angry, said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm not that kind of person, and Kexin also trusts me."

"You're a man, and men don't have…"

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't continue, softened her tone, and continued, "Let's put it this way, even if you're one of those rare one-in-a-millennium good men single-mindedly, can you prevent other people's gossip when together day and night?"

"Moreover, can you control your emotions, and can you guarantee that Nannan won't have other thoughts?"

"For Nannan, you essentially gave her a second chance at life, and all your conditions are excellent."

With this, Lin Jie did hesitate a bit, as he couldn't control others.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao pointed at her nose, chuckled, and said, "There's the best solution, I will fully take care of Nannan."

"With just a junior high education, Nannan will certainly need to go back to school after recovering."

"In her situation, staying to study in Binhai might be inconvenient, so I'll accompany her to study elsewhere."

"When she goes to college in the future, everything will be easier."

Lin Jie, pondering, said, "This indeed is a good solution, but making you take on all this, Xiaoxiao, how can Miaomiao and I feel comfortable?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao casually waved it off and said, "I've made this decision not just for you."

"The days I've spent with Nannan have made me really like this obedient girl."

"Although I have her call me sister, in my heart, I've been treating her like a daughter. I also plan to take this opportunity to care for her well and have her look after me in old age."

Lin Jie grinned and said, "Xiaoxiao, even if you never marry, it wouldn't be Nannan's responsibility. In the future, Kexin's and Miaomiao's kids will surely take good care of you."

Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Having one more daughter-like sister, doesn't it add more joy and goodness?"

Speaking of this, she stood up, "Ah Jie, I'll tell you about this first, so you'll have some understanding in your heart."

Zhang Xiaoxiao admonished, "Ah Jie, you and Miaomiao are actually soft-hearted people, you can't stand to see others in pity."

"But in this world, there are plenty of pitiful people, you can't take care of them all."

"As for Nannan, just let it go."

"In the future, when you encounter similar situations, don't agree to others' requests just because they plead with you. You're not God, you're just a doctor, there are many things you can't manage."

Lin Jie responded indifferently, "Got it, got it."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I will definitely be careful in the future, I won't impulsively agree to random things from others."

Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted, "I know, you're not taking my words to heart. I'll tell Kexin too, to keep an eye on you."

"Kexin is much more reliable than you are..."

Although today is Wednesday, the regular meeting day, both Lin Jie and Zhang Xiaoxiao were tied up with things, so the meeting had to be canceled.

At 6:30 in the evening, Lin Jie invited Fang Lianggong and Lei Jun for dinner,

At the dinner table, the three of them discussed Yao Henan's surgery plan in detail, along with their respective roles and some cooperation details.

Fang Lianggong and Lei Jun are both experienced orthopedic doctors.

In many matters, Lin Jie just mentioned a bit, and they could understand the intent.

This made Lin Jie feel good, without needing to explain like teaching students, with so much effort.

He even couldn't help but think, in the future when performing surgery, should he find an experienced guy to be his assistant? After all, with his influence, finding such free labor is quite an easy task.

But, thinking that he has so many students, and also the responsibility of training mid-to-young backbone doctors at Anlin Hospital, Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh, he is truly an altruist who brings hardship upon himself.

However, Fang Lianggong, who first encountered Lin Jie's working style, was secretly amazed.

The meticulousness of Lin Jie's surgical plan indeed startled him, even taking into account how the three could more conveniently and swiftly swap surgical positions.

Fang Lianggong couldn't help but put himself in Lin Jie's shoes, if he were to design this surgical plan, how would he do it?

Thinking for a while, he shook his head privately.

He hasn't made a detailed surgical plan in many years.

Upon taking a patient, examining the case information, having a rough idea, and then directly going to the surgical table.

Indeed, this is because he is experienced, and can handle any unexpected situation spontaneously.

However, with Lin Jie's current medical skills, even if his clinical practice experience is severely lacking, his ability to respond to emergencies would surely not be inferior.

Yet, Lin Jie still does his foundational work so diligently...

Fang Lianggong, appraising Lin Jie's extraordinarily young yet extremely serious handsome face, knew, clearly, Lin Jie could suddenly soar to great heights for a reason.

At the same time, Fang Lianggong also realized the actual reason why he had been stagnant, even retrogressing, in the field of medicine over the past few years.

It's definitely not because the administrative management work of the dean has taken too much of his energy and time, but because he lost the heart for caution and progress, living off his past achievements brazenly.

Having explained things clearly, Lin Jie did not notice Fang Lianggong's complicated introspection, and asked Lei Jun, "The quick-setting forming foam waterproof spray and the breathable medical dressing gauze demonstrated by Engineer Yuan yesterday are both excellent things."

"How come I haven't seen these two items in the hospital's item catalog before?"

Lei Jun explained, "Expert Lin, although they are indeed excellent items, there is one thing that the hospital cannot bear, which is that the price is unusually expensive."

"That foam waterproof spray, just spraying a thin layer on one square meter, costs ten thousand. That kind of special gauze, costs between six to seven thousand per square meter."

"How much do the routinely used plaster, splints, and fracture fixators in the hospital cost?"

"And the cost of dressing gauze is even more trivial, during summer when sweating is more, just changing the gauze and medicine more frequently will do."

Lei Jun sighed, "If it weren't for Yao Henan's special injury and the abundance of research funds, I wouldn't have been willing to let the other party use such expensive materials."

Lin Jie responded with a laugh, "I see. Anlin Hospital might be able to establish some cooperative relationship with the company behind Engineer Yuan."

After thinking for a moment, Lei Jun nodded and said, "Indeed, I've heard that Anlin Hospital's operational positioning is that of an upscale private hospital."

"Moreover, given your medical skills, Expert Lin, many well-known individuals will surely seek you out for treatment."

"For these well-known individuals, they won't just grit their teeth and endure like ordinary people."

"Simply for a bit of extra comfort, they'd be willing to pay several times more."

Lin Jie chuckled, "It's not just for them."

"Mainly, it's to create a high-end high-tech treatment atmosphere, convenient to swindle foreign patients, and charge more for medical treatment costs..."
