"Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin..."

The gentle call pulled Lin Jie back from his focused immersion.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was his new assistant, Jian Jia.

"Is the office set up?"

Jian Jia replied softly, "I just changed some office furniture and added some equipment. It's simple, really. Everything is ready. I can use lunch time to move everything here over there."

With a personal assistant, this office seemed a bit small and unsuitable for two people to work in.

Upon knowing this, Cheng Xingguang voluntarily arranged a two-room office with inner and outer sections for Lin Jie.

"Dr. Lin, the pediatric department sent a message that the pair of infants have woken up, and Dr. Jiang is conducting an examination on them."

Lin Jie checked the time and paused.

It was already 11:20 in the morning.

The time Water Buffalo left was approximately around 9:30.

After that, he had been considering the surgical plan for removing a brain tumor through the left ear. Before he knew it, nearly two hours had passed.

However, Lin Jie felt it was a fruitful two hours, as this surgical plan was preliminarily settled.

"The big and little ones were comatose for twenty-five hours. Considering a fifty-hour craniotomy, that's fairly reasonable."

"At least it indicates these two little ones have decent physical resilience and haven't suffered major brain damage."

Lin Jie murmured to himself and looked at Jian Jia, saying, "I won't attend their post-operative examination; Dr. Jiang will suffice."

"Jian Jia, remember to schedule the examination for those two patients with old tendinitis injuries coming on Wednesday with Guo Peng, and try to arrange their surgery by Friday."

"On Sunday afternoon, I'm going to Germany with the hospital's visiting group and won't be back until next Saturday."

After saying this, Lin Jie recalled something else and instructed, "Record the birthdays, special holidays, and anniversaries of people close to me like President An, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, An Kemeng, etc., and remind me to buy gifts or whatever in time."

"I'm quite forgetful about these matters."

"Got it."

Jian Jia crisply replied, reminding him, "Dr. Lin, it's a bit over half a month until President An's birthday, so you can buy his birthday gift while you're in Germany."

Lin Jie had indeed forgotten about it and said with a bit of relief, "Luckily, I mentioned it to you."

"Do remember to remind me about this when I'm in Germany."

Jian Jia somewhat understood that her boss was quite absent-minded in life matters.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Lin."

"With me around, you won't miss such things again."

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Soon, Cheng Xingguang walked in and said with a smile, "Expert Lin, it's lunchtime. Come, let's go together."

"You better not refuse, those guys clearly are more interested in you than in me."

Lin Jie stood up, stretched a bit, and asked, "How did your talks go?"

Cheng Xingguang happily replied, "This morning, it was just an initial contact, and nothing substantial was discussed. However, I can tell they're interested in cooperation..."

The luncheon was arranged at a restaurant in a four-star hotel not far from the hospital, where Lin Jie had previously stayed.

Accompanying from the Affiliated Hospital, besides Cheng Xingguang and Lin Jie, was also the director of the dean's office, Wei Haiyuan.

Lin Jie treated it as just going for lunch, exchanged a few perfunctory words with Xia Kaige and others, and focused intensely on the table of delicacies...

"Expert Lin, I kind of regret making that ten-year bet with you!"

Xia Kaige's sudden remark piqued Lin Jie's interest. He picked up a wet wipe, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's only been about a year, Dr. Xia; giving up already?"

"I haven't given up, but..."

Xia Kaige said with some sighing, "We've indeed been tracking the situation of Gao Yanhong, Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, and He Yimin among the four."

"He Yimin is highly appreciated by Director Luan from the diagnosis department."

"I know a thing or two about Director Luan, who specializes in difficult disease diagnoses. Hardly anyone catches his eye."

"During the Spring Festival, Guo Peng performed emergency surgery on two people at a northern ski resort."

Xia Kaige said incredulously, "We also investigated the details of those surgeries and the post-operative recovery."

"I can say that the level Guo Peng demonstrated in surgery, when evaluated comprehensively, basically reached an associate director doctor's standard."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "Guo Peng is rather bold."

"In such a special situation, he's willing to take action. In a regular hospital setting, he might hesitate."

Xia Kaige waved his hand and said, "His willingness to take action shows he has some confidence."

"Expert Lin, do you know that many students in the same batch as them are still performing small surgeries like appendectomies under supervising doctors' guidance?"

He sighed and said, "As far as I know, Huo Guangheng and Gao Yanhong are also highly praised by mentors across various departments."

"The four of them all perform excellently. What I admire even more is..."

"Besides the four of them, you have ten other students, Expert Lin, who are all performing very well too."

Xia Kaige earnestly stated, "In terms of teaching and guidance, Expert Lin, I really am not on par with you."

Lin Jie modestly replied, "This is more due to their strong foundations and willingness to work hard!"

Xia Kaige suddenly laughed and said, "There's one thing, Expert Lin, that you'll surely be delighted to know."

"What thing?" Lin Jie asked, giving him the floor.

"Gao Yanhong, Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, and He Yimin are staying at a military base near Binhai University that's part of the Binjiang Military District."

"The logistics told us that these guys often send chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pig and sheep hearts, livers, intestines, lungs, and heads to the kitchen at the base."

"Of course, the things they send have already been cut up miserably."

Xia Kaige sighed and said, "Expert Lin, they're learning from you."

Lin Jie just laughed and said, "If Guo Peng's skills were developed that way, this method could really be promoted."

"It's cost-effective and doesn't waste anything."

Cheng Xingguang, sitting next to Lin Jie, said earnestly, "Expert Lin, there's really such a surgical training base in the suburbs of the Capital City."

"It uses live animals like pigs and sheep to simulate various human diseases for doctors to practice surgery."

"It's said that the training results are quite good."

"After all, out of responsibility, interns and resident doctors rarely get the chance to perform complex surgeries. It's only as attending physicians that they gradually get such opportunities."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "It really is a cost-effective way."

"I'll suggest to An Kexin to set up a similar animal lab at Anlin Hospital for young doctors to practice."

He glanced at Xia Kaige and Cheng Xingguang, saying meaningfully, "This is a desperate measure, as our newly established hospital doesn't have any cadaver specimens."

"Even trying to buy them, there's nowhere to buy them from."

For medical colleges and teaching hospitals, cadaver specimens are a rare and valuable resource.

Cheng Xingguang shook his head and said, "Expert Lin, you really know how to seize opportunities."

"How about this, when Anlin Hospital starts operations, our Affiliated Hospital will gift... thirty as a congratulatory gesture."

Giving cadaver specimens as a gift at an opening, if it were any other industry, would likely result in fights breaking out.

Lin Jie was very happy to hear this and said unsatisfied, "Only thirty? It should be at least fifty."

Cheng Xingguang shook his head vehemently, "No more can be given!"

"Expert Lin, you know our Affiliated Hospital has hundreds of interns and resident doctors; those cadaver specimens are far from enough."

Lin Jie looked at Xia Kaige, who just stared at him without speaking, but the intent was clear.

Xia Kaige pleaded, "Expert Lin, don't look at me like that."

"I'm just a vice president; I can't make such decisions. However, I can assure you that when Anlin Hospital opens, there will definitely be a gift."

Lin Jie pretended to be angry and said, "Dr. Xia, I'll remember what you said."

"If your gift is too thin, I'll drag you to Anlin Hospital to work for six months."

"I wish for that!"

Xia Kaige chuckled softly, "Then I'll be close, maybe I can learn a thing or two from you, Expert Lin."

He put away his smile and said seriously, "Expert Lin, I came with a task this time."

"Oh, what task?"

"The task of exchanging and training young doctors."

Xia Kaige explained, "It's about our hospital and your Anlin Hospital exchanging and training about ten young doctors annually."

He looked at Cheng Xingguang and said, "If Binhai University Affiliated Hospital is interested, they can join this project too."

Cheng Xingguang replied somewhat grouchily, "The more exchanges, the more I welcome it."

"But, why do I feel like our Affiliated Hospital is just a side note, and your real target is Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie ignored Cheng Xingguang's gloominess, shaking his head in refusal, "That's not feasible."

"As a newly established hospital, Anlin Hospital doesn't have any talent reserve. Where would we get young doctors to exchange?"

"In the end, it just turns out we're helping you train young doctors."

Xia Kaige persuaded, "Expert Lin, I know Anlin Hospital has hired two to three hundred recent graduates. You must train them, right?"

"Adding ten more won't increase the workload much."

He tempted further, "These ten people don't require salary from you and can help with work. Plus, we can cover part of the training fees."

Lin Jie said, "Talk to An Kexin about this."

"I don't get involved in specific hospital affairs..."

Just then, Lin Jie's phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Hao.

"Expert Lin, we got the preliminary check-up results for Big and Small. All their organ functions are normal, and no hyperfunction or disturbances have been found."

"Big's right ear hearing and Small's left ear hearing are weak but have auditory responses."

"Big's right side of the body and Small's left side have sluggish sensory responses, but they respond to pain and temperature stimuli."

"I personally believe that these issues of weak hearing and half-body sensory dullness will gradually recover as Big and Small's cranial injuries heal further."

"But to what extent they will eventually recover is hard to predict."

"However, there's one thing we can confirm..."

Jiang Hao's excited voice came through the phone, "Expert Lin, our cranial separation surgery this time was an enormous success..."
