The next morning, Lin Jie brought some food and went to Tongren Hospital again.

The slightly haggard Zhang Xiaoxiao ate a few steamed buns, finished a bowl of porridge, and said, "Just before dawn, my father woke up once, looked at me, and then passed out again."

"The good news is that the doctor said my father is out of the danger period."

Lin Jie said softly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll stay here, you go and get some sleep!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I also slept for three to four hours last night, so I'm not tired! My father is practically abandoned by everyone else, seeing me when he wakes up might make him feel better!"

Seeing her insist, Lin Jie didn't persuade further and accompanied her to keep watch.

At this moment, Chen Qiuhua, wearing a white coat, came out from another ICU room. Seeing Lin Jie, he walked straight over and asked with concern, "Lin Jie, what brings you to the hospital?"

"Hello, Doctor Chen!"

Lin Jie pointed to the ICU in front of him and said, "My friend's father just had major surgery, I came to take a look!"

Chen Qiuhua nodded and called Lin Jie to a secluded place, saying, "I know you have grievances with the hospital, but what Han Xue said still holds, don't act impulsively."

"In the future, you can come to me once a month for a free check-up, and I'll prescribe you a month's worth of medicine. It may not be much, but it saves you at least five to six thousand a month in medical expenses."

Lin Jie looked at Chen Qiuhua with some confusion. For Tongren Hospital, this was a case of siding with outsiders, seriously harming the hospital's interests.

Chen Qiuhua smiled and explained, "I know you're helping at Zhujia Port's clinic now, and I have quite a connection with Zhujia Port, so I know about some of your matters."

"For a big hospital like Tongren, five to six thousand a month is just a drop in the bucket. But for an average family, it's a heavy burden. Lin Jie, don't be foolish!"

"Since you're here today, I'll give you a check-up!"

Lin Jie also wanted to understand the condition of his heart and didn't refuse. He followed him to the cardiology department.

He underwent a series of comprehensive and systematic cardiac examinations, including an ECG, exercise ECG test, cardiac ultrasound, cardiac CT, Doppler echocardiogram, and cardiac vascular ultrasound, along with some other tests.

The test results were clear to Lin Jie, with no need for explanation from Chen Qiuhua; the data showed his heart was very healthy.

Chen Qiuhua briefly explained the test results, pleased, and said, "Your heart is exceptionally healthy. Indeed, a perfect heart transplant match is extraordinary!"

"With your current examination data, you have a great chance of breaking the record for the longest survival of a heart transplant recipient!"

Then, with a serious expression, he continued, "Even so, you still need to take anti-rejection medication on schedule every day. I'll prescribe you a month's supply of medicine, and you can pick it up from me later!"

Lin Jie was still taking anti-rejection medications, but his daily dosage was three-quarters of the standard dosage.

In terms of dosage reduction, Shen Lanruo was extremely cautious.

After all, this concerned her own survival. Without sufficient data to support it, she wouldn't allow Lin Jie to further reduce his medication.

Feeling Chen Qiuhua's goodwill, Lin Jie sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Doctor Chen!"

"No need to thank me, I'm just being generous with someone else's kindness!"

Suddenly, Chen Qiuhua looked at Lin Jie with a hint of a smile and said, "Did you know that the battle for the hospital director between Hu Yuanqing and Hu Xinyi is over, and Hu Xinyi is out?"

"This result has a lot to do with you."

Lin Jie instinctively opposed, "How could that be? I'm just a small figure, how could I influence the competition for the director position at Kangning Hospital?"

Chen Qiuhua shook his index finger, explaining, "Don't underestimate yourself, your role in this was quite crucial!"

"Some time ago, didn't you refer a baby patient with Cantrell's Pentalogy to the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I first referred the patient to Kangning Hospital, but Hu Xinyi ended up rejecting it."

Chen Qiuhua sighed and said, "That's where the problem occurred!"

"The success of the surgery on this baby patient suddenly gave Binhai University Affiliated Hospital significant news exposure. Not only did they publish several papers, but they also received sponsorship from a foreign research fund."

"These honors should have belonged to Kangning Hospital, but they were driven away by Hu Xinyi."

"When Hu Xinyi's grandfather learned of this, he believed she was blinded by the pursuit of power and profit over her physician's duty."

"Coupled with Hu Yuanqing prevailing in Mr. Tan's surgery, and it being successful, the situation tilted, and Hu Yuanqing is basically set to be the next director."

Chen Qiuhua curiously observed Lin Jie and said, "There are rumors that the reason behind Hu Yuanqing's recent surge in medical skills is due to your guidance! Moreover, your basic suturing skills are said to surpass even Hu Yuanqing's!"

"Lin Jie, is this true?"

Guessing that this rumor must have come from Hu Xinyi, Lin Jie chuckled and countered, "Dr. Chen, do you think this could be true?"

Just then, Chen Qiuhua's pager went off, as an emergency had arisen with a patient, and he had to leave immediately.

Lin Jie left Chen Qiuhua's office and returned to the ICU ward, where it was already noon!

He replaced Zhang Xiaoxiao so she could go have lunch while he kept watch outside the ward.

After a while, Lin Jie received a call from Luo Shanshan!

Hearing her cautiously inquire about his condition, Lin Jie said directly, "Sister Shanshan, if there's something you need, just say it. I'm feeling alright, not to the point where it affects my judgment and ability to handle matters."

Luo Shanshan laughed awkwardly on the phone and said, "Daya can speak now. Yesterday, I had someone do a little promotion, and wouldn't you know it, today a patient came seeking help."

"The person happens to be a senior of mine. I've spoken too grandly before and can't take it back now. Lin Jie, you really must help me this time!"

Still dealing with the housing issue, Lin Jie felt frustrated as something else came up!

But now, since he was essentially Luo Shanshan's employee, he couldn't outright refuse. He had to stall a bit, saying, "Sister Shanshan, I have an urgent matter here, needing to quickly find a place to live. The throat issue isn't urgent, so have that patient wait a few days!"

Over the phone, Luo Shanshan asked directly, "Lin Jie, are you looking for a place for yourself or for someone else?"

"It's for my sister and me, do you have any good recommendations?"

Luo Shanshan's voice came through the phone with a smile, "I do have something suitable. I happen to have a vacant place that's fully furnished. You and your sister can move in with your bags."

"No rent, you just need to handle the property management fee and utility bills."

"That's great! I'd be staying for just four to five months at most, and then I'll buy a place!"

Understandably, Lin Jie realized this was reciprocation and said, "Why don't you tell me about the patient's condition?"
