"Lobbyist?"

Lin Jie instantly understood Slophel's purpose and asked with a smile, "Which hospital are you representing?"

"Naturally, it's the Mayo Clinic, the top in the United States."

Without wasting words, Slophel directly stated, "The Mayo Clinic is offering a base annual salary of two million US Dollars, with an annual bonus not less than one million US Dollars, and the freedom to choose six work and medical assistants."

"They provide independent housing and a car, and besides statutory holidays, there's also not less than a month of vacation each year."

At this moment, the voice of Shen Lanruo suddenly echoed in Lin Jie's mind, "This level of benefits is basically at the top tier among renowned doctors at the Mayo Clinic."

"To win you over, Mayo is indeed showing immense sincerity."

Hearing a tinge of envy in Shen Lanruo's tone, Lin Jie curiously asked in his mind, "Sister Lanruo, how does this level of benefits compare to what you had at Mayo?"

Shen Lanruo leisurely replied, "I endured over ten years at Mayo to eventually reach this level of benefits."

"But, before I could truly enjoy it, an accident happened."

While Lin Jie sighed inwardly, he heard Slophel continue, "Mayo Clinic also stated that if Dr. Lin is interested in becoming a citizen, they can ensure it happens smoothly."

"If there are any other conditions, Dr. Lin, you can also bring them up for discussion."

Lin Jie, without much hesitation, replied earnestly, "Please tell the Mayo Clinic, thank you for their recognition and esteem, but my family and career are here, so I have to decline their generous offer."

Slophel seriously said, "Dr. Lin, don't you need to reconsider or discuss it with family and friends?"

"This invitation doesn't require an immediate response."

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No need to reconsider or discuss with others, my decision just now is final."

"Alright, Dr. Lin, I will relay your message honestly!"

After saying this, Slophel seemed to feel relieved and said, "Task done. Let me share my thoughts."

"Dr. Lin, I also think you shouldn't accept this offer."

With a soft laugh, he added, "Although three million a year seems substantial, for you, Dr. Lin, it's effortlessly achievable. Just introducing a few more patients each year is enough."

Lin Jie amusingly remarked, "So, Mr. Slophel, you too can earn a handsome commission, right?"

Appearing not the slightest bit embarrassed, Slophel laughed, "It's mutually beneficial for us."

"Besides, working for Mayo Clinic doesn't compare to being your own boss, Dr. Lin, you're a major shareholder of Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Slophel, you accepted Mayo Clinic's commission to invite me, yet you're persuading me not to accept. Whose side are you on?"

Slophel sighed lightly, somewhat helplessly saying, "Mayo Clinic is my company's biggest client, and when they approached my boss, I couldn't refuse."

"But considering my personal interests, naturally, I hope you, Dr. Lin, won't accept the invite to join Mayo Clinic."

"However, please trust my professional integrity, Expert Lin."

He earnestly stated, "I haven't compromised at all on the Mayo Clinic's invitation terms!"

Being so straightforward, Lin Jie didn't pursue the matter further, softly saying, "I trust your integrity, Mr. Slophel."

"You didn't fly to China just for this, did you?"

Lin Jie, a bit puzzled and confused, said, "This could have been resolved over a phone call."

Slophel chuckled and said, "Doesn't China have a story about inviting someone three times? It's a gesture of sincerity, so Mayo Clinic asked me to come all the way to gauge your attitude and invite you. Plus, I also needed to handle some company business in China, so it's a dual-purpose trip."

"There's one more thing, Dr. Lin. I've also contacted a client, a very generous client."

"What condition?" Lin Jie inquired.

"Not a condition, but she wants a complete facial makeover!"

Slophel further explained, "The client I contacted is a young socialite. She wants you to turn someone into the likeness of a celebrity, the closer, the better."

Lin Jie was taken aback and confirmed, "You mean, it's not for her own makeover, but she wants me to make someone else look like a celebrity?"

Slophel nodded, saying, "That's right."

"This socialite once crazily pursued that male celebrity, but he didn't reciprocate."

"So..."

Lin Jie, somewhat understanding, laughed, "Unable to get the real one, she's settling for a counterfeit."

But Slophel, with a sly expression, said, "Dr. Lin, you're mistaken. This socialite doesn't want it for herself; she intends to send this fake to the San Fernando Valley."

Seeing Lin Jie's confusion, he lowered his voice, "San Fernando Valley is where adult films are shot in the United States, you know."

"So, does this mean the socialite, out of revenge and spite, wishes to disgust that celebrity with such a method?"

Lin Jie couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it seems you really can't afford to offend women."

"This method of revenge is truly... quite unique."

Lin Jie thought of something and pursued, "Speaking of which, is this man who's planning to get plastic surgery really willing to star in adult films as the lead actor?"

Slophel said mockingly, "This socialite has plenty of money."

"In the United States, this so-called evil capitalist country, as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want, no matter how outrageous the demand, someone will fulfill it."

"What's more, it's to get plastic surgery to look like a famous sexy male movie star, something many would be eager for."

Lin Jie nodded slightly and asked, "Surgery to look like who?"

"Richard Musta!"

This person, Lin Jie knew, and had even watched movies starring him.

He's a very famous Hollywood idol star, his physique and appearance, according to Western aesthetics, are considered top-notch.

Slophel added temptingly, "The surgery fee offered by the socialite is as much as a million US Dollars."

"If the surgery results are excellent, and out of a random survey of fifty people, at least thirty think the resemblance is over eighty percent, there will be another million added."

"This can be written into a contract, supervised and enforced by a credit guarantee company."

"Dr. Lin, what do you think? Do you want to take on this surgery?"

Lin Jie was a bit hesitant.

He was satisfied with the reward.

He was confident about getting the additional million as well, but the purpose of the socialite made him pause.

Lin Jie cautiously said, "Mr. Slophel, I need to think this over and consult my lawyer."

"After all, this involves a well-known celebrity. If the other party is relentless, I'm worried there might be trouble."

Slophel persuaded, "Dr. Lin, I understand your concerns."

"Rest assured, before I came here, I also consulted a lawyer. You'll not get into any trouble with this matter..."

In the evening, when Lin Jie returned home and had dinner with An Kexin and Lin Miao, he shared the story of an American socialite asking him to perform surgery to make someone look like a celebrity, as a funny anecdote.

Lin Miao looked disgusted and said, "And she calls herself a socialite? To use such a method to get back at her celebrity idol, it's utterly shameless."

"Brother, did you agree?"

Lin Jie said factually, "Not yet."

"Lawyer Li is currently, at my request, asking colleagues familiar with American laws to thoroughly verify if there are any legal risks."

"If there's no trouble, I'll take it on."

"Miaomiao, plastic surgery is a relatively easy operation for me, and the income is substantial."

An Kexin also advised, "Miaomiao, over in the United States, what's called a socialite simply comes from a prestigious family and receives a good education."

"But how they behave privately, what their character is like, who knows."

"As for what happened between the socialite and the male star, we don't really know. Lin Jie is just doing what a doctor should do, without questioning the cause and effect."

Lin Miao nodded lightly and said, "Kexin, I understand, I just don't agree with the so-called socialite's actions, but I won't interfere with my brother's decisions and work."

Seeing Lin Miao's displeasure, Lin Jie didn't continue on the topic and instead said, "As I'm going to Germany this time, is there any gift you two would like?"

Lin Miao shook her head and said worriedly, "I don't need a gift."

"Brother, this is your first time going abroad, and you're going so far away, with no familiar faces around to look after you. Taking good care of yourself is the best gift."

An Kexin also agreed, "I have the same thought as Miaomiao."

"Ajie, when you go to Germany this time, just make sure to take care of yourself."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "This overseas trip is an official exchange visit, and I'll be accompanied throughout."

"It's to relatively safe Germany, not some war-torn place, and I'm no overgrown infant who can't take care of himself. You really don't need to worry about me."

Lin Miao retorted, "Doesn't the internet say that our country is the safest?"

"The internet also says that Germany now has many, many refugees, and public safety has worsened, brother, you must be careful, don't leave the hotel at night."

An Kexin sighed and said mysteriously, "I wasn't too worried initially, but then I remembered your last two trips..."

"Ajie, you might have a disaster aura, where something happens wherever you go."

"It's hard not to worry."

Lin Jie glanced at her and said, "If I were really that ominous, the country would have long treated me as a secret weapon, sending me to pace back and forth in enemy territory every day."
