The video of the reckless speeding overtaking sparked some discussion within a few days.

However, after the traffic police released a related report, it quickly subsided but also led to heated public debate about the violent assault on doctors at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.

In recent years, the tense doctor-patient relationship has been a hot topic in society.

To prevent similar incidents at Anlin Hospital, Lin Jie suggested installing a facial recognition system to blacklist patients and their families who have had disputes with the hospital.

If they enter the hospital again, the system would alert security to focus on monitoring these individuals.

However, although the suggestion was good, implementation proved to be somewhat difficult.

An efficient facial recognition system is not something you can simply purchase on the market.

Lin Jie once again sought help from Water Buffalo and luckily obtained permission.

He was informed that someone would come to install such a system at the hospital.

Time quickly passed to Friday morning at Xiangtai Apartment.

An Kexin took a step back, observing Lin Jie in his military uniform with satisfaction and said, "Very nice, you look full of spirit in military attire…"

Lin Miao chuckled and said, "Brother, the military uniform makes you look more manly."

Lin Jie gave Lin Miao a sidelong glance, ignoring her with disdain, as he relaxed his tense posture and said, "This military stance really needs practice. Standing like this for a while, I feel a bit uncomfortable."

As an officially registered military officer with the rank of a professional technical colonel, Lin Jie usually wore civilian clothes, but he received his military uniforms every season.

These uniforms were categorized into dress uniforms, everyday uniforms, and training uniforms, along with standard coats and underwear, shoes, hats, socks, and belts, filling up an entire wardrobe.

However, Lin Jie kept these uniforms in the wardrobe, not even bothering to unwrap them.

Today, Lin Jie took the rare step of neatly donning a set of dress uniforms,

because he was to represent the military, in his capacity as the deputy dean of the First Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital, to award He Yimin a third-class merit medal.

According to the surveillance footage of that incident, He Yimin had a chance to evade but instead rushed forward to rescue a young nurse.

This spirit of rushing forward in times of crisis to save others naturally deserves recognition and promotion.

Yet Lin Jie did not expect the military to let him preside over this event.

An Kexin stepped forward to tidy Lin Jie's collar and said, "You are her mentor, nominally the deputy dean of the First Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital, and a colonel, their relationship is all within the First Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital."

"You hosting this award ceremony is very appropriate."

Lin Jie softly said, "This is only my second time wearing a military uniform; I really don't have much feeling for this military identity."

An Kexin laughed and said, "Perhaps this is another purpose of theirs, to make you feel a deeper connection to your military identity through this opportunity…"

Lin Miao carried a military overcoat and a down jacket, while An Kexin held Lin Jie's usual coat and sweater, accompanying Lin Jie out of the bedroom and into the living room.

Qin Gang, waiting here, reflexively snapped to attention and saluted Lin Jie.

"At ease! Dismissed! Let's go!"

Lin Jie solemnly said these three words, putting on the military overcoat, and left the apartment with An Kexin, Lin Miao, and Qin Gang, heading to the Affiliated Hospital…

When they arrived at He Yimin's hospital room, already informed He Yimin along with her family, Huo Guangheng, Tian Xiangyu, and others, as well as Cheng Xingguang from the Affiliated Hospital, had gathered there.

However, seeing Lin Jie in full military dress, accompanied by a major and others, entering the ward, everyone was quite surprised.

Lying in the hospital bed, He Yimin asked in astonishment, "Teacher, today's ceremony, this ceremony…"

Lin Jie chuckled softly and said, "Today's awarding ceremony is hosted by me in the capacity of the deputy dean of the First Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital."

He gestured to the major beside him and introduced, "This is Major Lv from the Binhai City Military District, here to observe the ceremony."

Major Lv exchanged brief pleasantries with those in the ward, then handed a sealed manila envelope and a finely crafted small square wooden box to Lin Jie.

The entire ceremony was quite straightforward.

Lin Jie opened the sealed manila envelope, read aloud a commendation order to the public, and then awarded the third-class military merit medal from the box to He Yimin.

Thus, in less than two minutes, the ceremony concluded, and Major Lv also took his leave.

As Cheng Xingguang left the ward with Lin Jie, he chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, I really didn't expect you to be the deputy dean of the First Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital."

Lin Jie explained, "This is only nominal, without any real power, just to facilitate the placement of my military identity."

Cheng Xingguang remarked with deep meaning, "Even if it's just nominal, considering your current reputation, this identity still allows you to have some say at the First Military Medical University."

Lin Jie pondered for a moment before realizing there was a hint in his words.

"Dean Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Cheng Xingguang chuckled lightly, "Alright, let's talk in your office."

Upon entering the office, Lin Jie began to loosen the buttons on his collar, feeling uncomfortable and restrained in his military uniform.

"The First Military Medical University and its affiliated hospitals are top-ranked medical colleges and premium hospitals in the country. Especially in some medical research fields and departments, they rank first domestically."

Cheng Xingguang suggested, "Expert Lin, I wonder if you could try to facilitate deeper cooperation and exchange between Binhai University Medical School and the First Military Medical University and its two affiliated hospitals?"

Lin Jie asked somewhat puzzled, "Dean Cheng, such exchanges between colleges and hospitals should be mutually beneficial. Wouldn't it be easy for you to arrange it among yourselves?"

Cheng Xingguang shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Expert Lin, it's not as simple as you think."

If it were just about organizing a visit or a few academic exchange conferences, it would be easy. But these are superficial acts which yield little benefit to either side's research and academics."

"What I'm aiming for is cooperation on scientific research projects, exchanging students, faculty, and doctors for further study, and sharing laboratories, equipment, research data, and various resources on a deeper level."

"Such cooperation can complement each other's strengths and truly promote mutual enhancement."

"However..."

Cheng Xingguang looked helpless as he said, "Such cooperation will inevitably touch upon interests and the adjustment and distribution of personnel. Plus, issues like parochialism, interest disputes, patents, and technology protection make it difficult to truly implement."

Lin Jie responded, "Dean Cheng, since you say such cooperation is fraught with difficulties, what role can I, a merely titular vice dean, play in this?"

Cheng Xingguang shook his head firmly and said, "To be honest, Expert Lin, I was inspired by you to come up with this idea."

"You've been dedicated in teaching and guiding these students. In the hospital, you perform teaching surgeries openly and share knowledge freely. Now, you've also set up a medical directional class."

He looked respectful and said, "With your medical skills, Expert Lin, and your... physical condition, you could easily earn money and enjoy life. There's no need to exhaust yourself with teaching others so diligently."

"Yet, you've done it all with utmost effort."

Cheng Xingguang, somewhat moved, said, "You're trying, with your own efforts, to raise the level of domestic medicine."

These words made Lin Jie a bit embarrassed since he didn't have such lofty awareness.

Cheng Xingguang continued, "This is a long and arduous journey you're quietly undertaking."

"It makes me feel quite ashamed, prompting me to think that before I step down, I must do something so that you're not fighting alone."

"I've been thinking of not keeping resources to ourselves but to work closely with several hospitals and medical colleges. Yet, after months of communication, all I've encountered is evasion, with no institution genuinely wanting to cooperate."

Looking at Lin Jie, Cheng Xingguang said, "Expert Lin, perhaps your status might make your proposal garner true attention from the First Military Medical University."

"As a military medical university and hospital, prioritizing national interest, perhaps they might truly implement this cooperation idea."

Cheng Xingguang's words genuinely touched Lin Jie.

The country is vast, and most people just muddle through life selfishly, burying themselves in work. Yet, there are always some who transcend personal limits, standing higher to plan for the entire group's benefit."

In a deep voice, Lin Jie said, "Dean Cheng, you must have detailed ideas and plans in written form for this cooperation. Send it to me, and I'll have a good talk with them..."

Just past five in the afternoon, Lin Jie left the hospital to head to Crown Holiday Hotel.

At a restaurant there, he had reserved a private room to host Qin Fang for dinner.

On his way, he received a call from Kong Mingqing.

"Lin Jie, I'm currently outside investigating an accident, so I might be a little late. Can you guess where I am now?"

Lin Jie laughed, "I'm not a deity; how could I guess where you are?"

A chuckle came from the other side of the phone as Kong Mingqing said, "I'm in a studio at Binhai TV Station. A large light suddenly fell, almost hitting someone."

"Just a heads up, this person is related to the case I'm currently investigating!"

Lin Jie blurted out, "Liang Ziyang? How bad is the injury?"

"Not him, it's Wang Hongzhan! It only hit one side of his shoulder, causing some fractures but no life-threatening injuries."

Surprised, Lin Jie asked, "How is it him? Why is the fiancé at the TV station studio?"

Kong Mingqing replied seriously, "It's said he was there to relax and watch a program recording."

"Preliminary investigation suggests the light falling was an accident."

Lin Jie pressed, "Was it really an accident?"

Kong Mingqing sneered, "That case's information barely leaked out, and now a suspect has had an 'accident'!"

"I refuse to believe it was just an accident."
