Chapter 646 Warning Reminder (Seeking Subscription)
After much deliberation, Lin Jie resisted his curiosity and decided to bury this matter in his heart, pretending he forgot what Da Hei had said.
An Kexin moved closer to Lin Jie, poked him with her finger, and whispered, "A-Jie, you noticed it too!"
"Noticed what?"
Lin Jie quickly withdrew his gaze from Chen Qiuhua and asked back, feigning calmness.
"Noticed that Chen Qiuhua and Du Feixue are together, you've been staring at them, isn't that the reason?"
Lin Jie was taken aback, looked at Chen Qiuhua again, and saw him taking a glass of water handed to him by Du Feixue, chatting and laughing enthusiastically with her.
Following An Kexin's guess, he replied, "They came together, and I just felt something was odd, so I wanted to observe a bit more."
"Kexin, are they really together?"
"Kind of."
An Kexin, a bit uncertain, said, "Feixue told me she has an interest in Dr. Chen and is making her move. From the current situation, it seems Dr. Chen is not rejecting Feixue's pursuit."
"However, I'm a bit worried."
"Worried about what?"
An Kexin leaned closer to Lin Jie again and whispered, "In recent years, there have been rumors that Dr. Chen has an ambiguous relationship with Han Family's Han Xue."
"That Han Xue is known to be beautiful, talented, and comes from a good family, and even such a person can't keep Dr. Chen tied down. I'm worried..."
"A-Jie, do you think this Dr. Chen might have some unusual preferences?"
Lin Jie looked at the imaginative An Kexin and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dr. Chen is definitely straight, no doubt about it."
"How can you be so sure?" An Kexin asked curiously.
Lin Jie wanted to tell her that given Chen Qiuhua's past grudges with the Han Family, he would definitely not be interested in Han Xue.
Perhaps...
He speculated mischievously that Chen Qiuhua really fell for Han Xue, but rationally kept a distant relationship with her, intertwined with emotions and hatred.
Lin Jie shook his head, deciding not to speculate on this dramatic plot, saying, "Intuition, it's just intuition. Dr. Chen is straight."
"Let Du Feixue pursue him boldly; they actually make a good match..."
After an unremarkable dinner, everyone moved to the living room to start some post-dinner chat.
Taking advantage of the moment An Kexin went to get a fruit platter, An Kemeng approached Lin Jie and asked, "Brother Jie, you didn't tell my sister about that, did you?"
"No, I wouldn't break my promise to you."
Lin Jie replied firmly, not a hint of guilt, because it wasn't him who leaked the secret.
An Kemeng breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, saying, "I had a feeling my sister's look was strange, thought you had secretly told her."
"Brother Jie, you're really great."
She held onto Lin Jie's arm again, shaking it coquettishly, "Brother Jie, have you settled my guaranteed admission yet?"
Lin Jie, feeling a bit guilty said, "I've been quite busy these days and haven't found the opportunity. I'll make some arrangements for you after these few days, don't worry..."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao, who had finished a phone call, came over, frowning and said, "A-Jie, that Jin guy called again, he sure is persistent."
Lin Jie, a bit annoyed, said, "Xiaoxiao, next time that guy calls again, just be more stern."
"Seriously, I've made it clear before that I won't take a part-time job at his cosmetic surgery hospital, yet he's as sticky as gum, really annoying."
Beside them, Chen Qiuhua, having heard Lin Jie's complaint, asked, "Lin Jie, what cosmetic surgery hospital? What part-time job?"
"Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital!"
Lin Jie, helplessly, said, "Probably known for its side effects."
"On another public number, I often receive invitations for high-paying part-time jobs and high-paid consultations from certain hospitals."
"For such invitations, I always have Xiaoxiao refuse directly. But this Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital, like a haunting ghost, calls every few days."
Chen Qiuhua frowned and seriously said, "Plastic surgery hospitals like this aren't very legitimate. They want to use your fame for advertisement to deceive unsuspecting patients."
"Lin Jie, given your status today, you shouldn't accept any unknown part-time jobs or consultations."
"I know about this Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital."
Yao Siyuan picked up the topic, saying, "This plastic surgery hospital is relatively legitimate, they poached a doctor named Zhu Xihai from our Donghua Hospital's plastic surgery department."
"However, Lin Expert, doing a part-time job for them would indeed be a bit beneath you."
Lu Kaicheng sighed, "That's just the difference in fate among people."
"People like me want to do part-time jobs to earn some extra money to buy a house, but no one wants us. Small and medium hospitals can't perform neurosurgery, and large hospitals don't need someone at my level."
Chen Qiuhua chuckled and said, "You're a neurosurgeon. Good times are ahead of you. Once you get promoted to deputy director, you'll be able to walk with a swagger. With just one surgery, you'll earn several times more than us."
Lu Kaicheng sighed and said, "It takes seven or eight years to become a deputy director. This period is when money is most needed. I really envy plastic surgeons. In a minute or two, they can make a double eyelid, and easily earn thousands."
"And any neurosurgery, at the very least, takes five or six hours. The more difficult ones take over ten hours."
Yao Siyuan was a bit unhappy and retorted, "It's not easy for us to make money either. The plastic surgery department is probably the one with the highest patient complaint rate."
"Even if our plastic surgery is top-notch, there's always some difference from the patients' ideal of perfection. Disputes always come unexpectedly, and thinking about it just gives me a headache."
Yu Momo suddenly interrupted, "Brother Jie did a cosmetic surgery for Sister Shanshan, which was perfect!"
"Not only were we all very envious, but even Sister Shanshan herself couldn't believe how beautiful she looked."
Yao Siyuan blurted out, "Freaks are always beyond the norm; we can't compare!"
As soon as he said this, the living room suddenly fell silent.
Just as Yao Siyuan was looking awkward, An Kexin suddenly laughed and said, "My dad often says, people like Brother Jie are natural geniuses, not to be placed in the category of ordinary people. Simply put, he's what common folks call a freak genius."
"Yes, Brother Jie is a freak, always able to do things that make people envious," An Kemeng giggled as she spoke.
"Exactly, a world-class freak!"
"A remarkable talent!"
Chen Qiuhua, Lu Kaicheng, and others also chimed in, and the atmosphere in the living room became lively again.
Then, everyone shifted the topic to recent amusing incidents that happened in Binhai, and the atmosphere was lively for a while…
By nearly ten at night, the guests gradually left, with only the An sisters staying behind.
"It's been such a short time, and Sister Leyi already has a baby on the way. Cousin is going to get married because of the pregnancy, and Cousin Manqing is also engaged. It's likely she will also get married and have a baby soon."
An Kemeng, feeling emotional, stared at An Kexin's belly and said, "Sister, you should hurry up and have a baby too. It will definitely be cute and beautiful."
An Kexin glared at her and said, "Hurry up and have a baby? You think this is a competition."
"Hurry up and wash up and go to bed. Don't think just because Brother Jie promised you a recommendation, you can rest easy and not need to study hard."
She glanced at Lin Jie, who was making a phone call, and warned, "Kemeng, don't blame me for not warning you ahead of time. Brother Jie has very high standards when it comes to medical skills, even harsh."
"When he starts to focus on your studies, he definitely won't be lenient and might even be stricter."
"Don't come crying to me when you're exhausted."
An Kemeng snorted arrogantly and said, "Sister, don't look down on me like that, as if I can't handle hardship. My goal is to become an outstanding doctor like Brother Jie."
"For this goal, I can endure any hardship."
An Kexin rolled her eyes at her, obviously not believing her promise.
At this moment, Lin Jie hung up the phone and walked over, saying, "It was a call from Chen Qiuhua, saying he'll come over later to see me face-to-face about something important."
"What's so important that it can't be said over the phone, needing a special trip to tell you?" An Kexin was also full of doubts.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Lin Jie and An Kexin led the returning Chen Qiuhua into the study.
Seeing Chen Qiuhua's serious expression, Lin Jie, with some speculation, asked, "Doctor Chen, it seems what you want to say is quite serious. Does Kexin need to leave?"
Chen Qiuhua shook his head and said, "No need, it's good that President An knows about this."
He took a deep breath and said, "Lin Jie, what I'm talking about has to do with Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital."
So it's about Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital, not something about his own background.
Knowing he guessed wrong, Lin Jie asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital?"
Chen Qiuhua said with some uncertainty, "I've only heard some rumors, but there's no smoke without fire. This plastic surgery hospital, you should avoid it as much as possible, and try not to get involved with it at all."
"Oh, tell me about those rumors,"
Chen Qiuhua deliberated over his words and said, "Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital is likely secretly engaged in illegal human organ sales and transplants."
Lin Jie was taken aback, it was about this matter.
The state strictly prohibits the sale of human organs by law.
However, each year, voluntarily donated organs that can be transplanted are very few, far from meeting the actual needs.
Lin Jie understood that this enormous demand must give rise to an illegal underground market, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many so-called 'kidney' opportunities.
"I also learned about this rumor by chance, but there's always been no solid evidence."
Chen Qiuhua reminded, "If this rumor is true, then the interests involved with this hospital must be very complex. Lin Jie, you need to handle it with caution."
