After lunch, Lin Jie and An Kexin arrived together at the Jiaojiao high-end fashion studio, which exuded a classical charm.

They were greeted by an elegant woman in her thirties wearing a qipao, who introduced herself as Shu Jiaojiao.

Through Shu Jiaojiao's introduction, Lin Jie and An Kexin learned that Shu Jiaojiao's mother was a master embroiderer with a rich family heritage.

This master currently leads dozens of apprentices in an embroidery studio in the Binhai Suburb, crafting various fabrics.

Shu Jiaojiao is responsible for the design and tailoring of the clothing styles, while her father mainly handles management and promotion.

"Dr. Lin, Miss An, the wedding dress styles here mainly include the Xiuhe Dress, the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress, qipao, and modernized Chinese wedding dresses with many contemporary elements."

Shu Jiaojiao first took Lin Jie and An Kexin on a tour to see the exquisite wedding dress samples, then invited them into the VIP room, served them fragrant tea and pastries, and brought out several beautiful albums for them to choose from.

Looking at the splendid wedding dresses in the album, An Kexin was dazzled with choices and marveled, "They're all so beautiful, too stunning, I can't help but want to order a whole set of each."

"Boss Shu, based on my situation, could you recommend something?"

Shu Jiaojiao gave a gentle smile, praising, "Miss An, your figure is almost perfect, even better than the models we hire, and you're very pretty."

"Any wedding dress on you would look absolutely stunning."

Hearing this, An Kexin gave Lin Jie a smug look, as if to say he had found a treasure.

After some thought, Shu Jiaojiao, while flipping through the album, suggested, "The Xiuhe Dress is a jacket and skirt worn by women from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic period, embodying the grace of our Jiangnan water town women. It features a mandarin or round collar, either a front or side opening jacket, and is a loose-fitting, easy-to-move-in wedding dress style."

"I suggest you customize one to wear for outdoor shoot, welcoming guests, and during the toasting session."

"As for the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress, it's a simplified version of the traditional phoenix crown and cape, grand and formal, naturally requiring a custom-made set for the formal wedding ceremony."

"Regarding the qipao and modified wedding dress styles, you can order them based on personal preference, for wearing during the toasting and guest welcoming events."

An Kexin, after much deliberation and soliciting Lin Jie's relatively inconclusive opinions, finally decided to custom order a Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress, a Xiuhe Dress, and a modified version of the Chinese wedding dress gown.

Just when Lin Jie thought they were almost settled, An Kexin wanted to start selecting the specific styles of the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress and the level of embroidery.

Only then did Lin Jie realize that even the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress had different levels, distinguished by the density of gold and silver thread embroidery.

The density of the patterns varied, and naturally, levels and prices did too, ranging from around a hundred to a few hundred thousand.

Jewelry can even be added according to customer requirements.

An Kexin comprehensively selected, finally deciding on a Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Dress priced at 660,000.

Next, they had to choose the pattern to be embroidered on the Xiuhe Dress.

Lin Jie was quite impressed by how rich and varied the pattern options for the Xiuhe Dress were.

Peonies, camellias, chrysanthemums, the five poisons, butterflies, phoenix patterns, magpies, bats, and various auspicious totems were all options.

After back and forth comparisons for dozens of times, An Kexin finally selected the pattern for the Xiuhe Dress.

Next, An Kexin began discussing with Shu Jiaojiao the specific design style and form of the modified wedding gown.

Lin Jie had thought this matter could be completed in an hour or two, but An Kexin enthusiastically lingered until 5 PM, showing no signs of stopping.

Fortunately, An Kexin didn't seek Lin Jie's opinion on every matter.

Many ideas were settled after her discussions with Shu Jiaojiao, allowing Lin Jie to simply sit by, sipping tea, eating pastries, reading medical papers on his phone, and quietly accompanying her.

Just past 5 PM, a staff member of the studio entered the VIP room and whispered to Shu Jiaojiao, "Sister Shu, Miss Cai is here to pick up her dress."

Shu Jiaojiao stood up, gave An Kexin and Lin Jie an apologetic smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I need to step out to attend to a client. I need to check if there are any modifications required based on the client's fitting."

"Oh, Boss Shu, you go ahead, I also need to think carefully about which of these two gowns suits me better."

While saying this, An Kexin's attention remained fixed on the two hand-drawn design sketches.

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly received a call from Ye Peihua.

"Expert Lin, I need to thank you once again. Aunt Yu can now see things clearly within five meters and can move freely at home without needing assistance."

"The doctor who re-examined her said it's a medical miracle."

This Aunt Yu had long been taken out from the Huiming Eye Hospital by Ye Peihua to an unknown place for recuperation.

Lin Jie could only learn about Aunt Yu's exact recovery progress through occasional phone calls from them.

Judging from the feedback so far, her recovery had exceeded Lin Jie's expectations.

"I'm very happy to hear this news."

Lin Jie said happily, "With the stimulation of neurotrophic drugs, Aunt Yu's vision should continue to recover. However, the recovery speed may slow down, and I cannot predict the final level of recovery."

Ye Peihua laughed on the phone, "Honestly, for my aunt to see again is already a huge surprise and a miracle. She said when you come to the Capital City, she must personally cook a meal for you to express her gratitude."

"No, no, I just did what a doctor should do."

Lin Jie directly asked, "Young Master Ye, you must have other matters as well, right?"

"Yes. The ownership of this super league club in Capital City will officially change hands after the end of this season. The various procedures for those injured foreign soccer players are also about to be completed."

"Expert Lin, I'd like to inquire about your recent schedule!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "In early October, I have to complete a very important medical trial, so I don't have much free time. It would be best for them to come to Binhai in mid-October."

"Alright, no problem. At that time, I'll have Nie Yuming contact you for the specific matters."

After saying this, Ye Peihua added with concern, "Expert Lin, although the Xie family's will case is settled, there are still some rumors about you here in Capital City."

"If you need my help, please don't hesitate to let me know."

Regarding the Xie family's will case, Lin Jie wasn't very familiar with it and felt embarrassed to ask Ye Peihua about it over the phone.

He said, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Ye, I'll keep it in mind."

"Rumors and gossip will die down with wise people. As long as I don't pay attention to them, they'll eventually dissipate..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie asked An Kexin, "Has the Xie family's will case in Capital City concluded?"

An Kexin nodded and said, "Yes, it concluded this Thursday. The court ruled that the will of the Xie family's elder was legally valid and enforceable."

"This ruling was not unexpected. Since you didn't seem interested, we didn't inform you. Also, the divorce lawsuit between Xie Xiwen and his wife has been settled; they are divorced."

"Oh, and another matter involving the Xie family: the Ma family in Capital City, the Xie family's daughter-in-law who married into the family, also got divorced. It's said to have been an amicable divorce."

Capital City's Ma family!

Lin Jie pressed on, "Did anything else happen with the Ma family in Capital City besides the divorce? Like splitting the family business or dividing assets?"

"Oh, yes. The fast-moving consumer goods kingdom owned by the Ma family was divided into two, each controlled by the Ma family's eldest and second eldest."

An Kexin asked, a bit puzzled, "Ajie, you seem to know about this in advance. Do you know some insider information?"

Lin Jie quickly shook his head and denied, "No, I was just guessing."

An Kexin said regretfully, "If you really knew some insider information and told me earlier, maybe we could have made a fortune in the stock market or somewhere else."

Lin Jie laughed, "Don't get any ideas. Even if I did know something, I wouldn't be able to tell you due to the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement."

At this moment, the door of the VIP room opened again, and a slightly thin young woman walked in, accompanied by Shu Jiaojiao.

"Dr. Lin, President An, hello!"

After greeting them, the young woman introduced herself, "I'm Cai Yanhe, and also Luo Pengyi's fiancée."

"I heard from Boss Shu that you are here to order clothes as well, so I thought it was necessary to stop by and greet you."

An Kexin stood up and politely smiled, "So, you're the daughter of the chairman of Zhengda Pharmaceutical. It's a pleasure meeting you."

Hearing An Kexin's words, Lin Jie also stood up and couldn't help but carefully observe Cai Yanhe.

With light makeup, she wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was pleasing to the eye. Her sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes were especially striking, giving an impression of unusual spirit and sharpness.

Zhengda Pharmaceutical Group is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the country, with formidable strength.

Luo Wantong, by using marriage as a strategy, has found a powerful ally for Wantong Group, especially Phoenix Mountain Hospital.

Lin Jie nodded slightly in response to Cai Yanhe's earlier greeting.

"Dr. Lin, President An, in the latter half of this year and next year, Zhengda Pharmaceutical will be launching several new drugs, among which a generic targeted anti-cancer drug will be grandly introduced next year at a price several times lower than the international original drug."

Cai Yanhe smiled faintly, "At that time, Zhengda Pharmaceutical hopes to have more opportunities for collaboration with Anlin Hospital."

An Kexin seriously said, "As Zhengda Pharmaceutical is one of the top large pharmaceutical groups in the country, it is naturally our first choice for pharmaceutical collaborations with Anlin Hospital."

After a brief exchange, Cai Yanhe politely took her leave.

An Kexin looked solemn and said, "The state just recently relaxed policies on generic anti-cancer drugs and Zhengda Pharmaceutical has already developed one. She's showing off to us."

She looked at Lin Jie, somewhat worried, "Zhengda Pharmaceutical and Phoenix Mountain Hospital have teamed up, which increases our competitive pressure."

Generic drugs are copies that have the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, performance, and intended use as brand-name drugs.

Worldwide, hundreds of patented drugs worth hundreds of billions of US dollars are due to have their patent protection expire.

Once expired, other countries and pharmaceutical companies can produce generic drugs.

However, the production of generics isn't that easy.

Even though the specific composition of a drug is known, the proportion of dozens of drug components is not so easy to explore.

This requires relatively strong pharmaceutical research and development capabilities and extensive drug production experience to deduce the composition ratio closest to the original drug and produce generics with roughly the same efficacy.

Searching his memory, Lin Jie recalled several detailed prescription ratios and said, "Generic drugs, well, we can also collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to do this."
