On Monday morning, the driver who came to take Lin Jie to the Medical College was replaced by Qin Gang.

Before Lin Jie could ask, Qin Gang explained, "Guan Muhua said he had important personal matters to attend to, so he asked me to substitute for him temporarily."

"This month I'm helping him; next month I'll need him to help me."

Seeing Qin Gang's happy expression, Lin Jie asked with a smile, "Is everything ready for the wedding next month?"

Qin Gang replied with a relaxed expression, "Almost! I took your advice and hired a wedding planning company, leaving many things for them to handle."

"They're professionals, and with many arrangements, Leyi is satisfied, and I feel much more at ease."

He advised, "Lin Jie, based on my personal experience, I strongly suggest you hire a reputable wedding planning company to prepare for your wedding."

"Women's minds change nine or ten times a day at the least, leaving you with no temper at all."

Lin Jie scoffed and proudly said, "People are different. Your wife is pregnant, and her emotions are unstable."

"My Kexin is beautiful, generous, considerate, and kind. I definitely won't have to worry much about wedding preparations."

Qin Gang shook his head in disbelief, "Women are essentially the same. You'll experience it yourself next year and won't be saying this."

"Just wait and see!"

Lin Jie was full of confidence in An Kexin's goodness.

The class was still held in the small auditorium, but the number of people coming to attend had suddenly increased quite a bit.

Mostly they were fresh-faced freshmen.

Lin Jie had once reminded them.

Attending his lectures required a solid foundation in medical knowledge, at least at the master's level.

Freshmen attending just to listen was purely a waste of valuable study time.

Perhaps due to a rebellious mindset, Lin Jie discovered that there were even more freshmen attending today's lecture.

This resulted in many seniors arriving late having no seats, forcing them to sit in the aisles to listen.

After lecturing for half an hour, Lin Jie kept noticing a figure flashing by from the corner of his eye.

He paid attention and found Lei Jun from the Affiliated Hospital pacing back and forth just outside the front door facing the podium.

Lin Jie shook his head a bit.

If you have an urgent matter, just come directly to find me, pacing outside doesn't make any sense.

He paused his lecture and left the classroom, directly asking, "Dr. Lei, are you looking for me or someone else?"

"Expert Lin, I'm looking for you, it's you I'm looking for!"

Lei Jun said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have come to disturb your class, but I received an emergency patient, a young patient only six years old."

"His bone injury is very serious, I..."

Before he could finish, Lin Jie reached out and said, "Let me see the patient's X-ray!"

"Oh... Expert Lin, here you go!"

Lei Jun hurriedly handed over the tablet in his hand, the screen displaying an X-ray of a small leg.

"This child's left lower leg was crushed by a heavy object, causing a comminuted fracture..."

After a quick glance at the X-ray, Lin Jie frowned.

This comminution is quite severe, with even coin-sized bone fragments rare, mostly the size of peanuts.

The only consolation was that the ankle and knee joints weren't significantly damaged, only the left leg's fibula and tibia were almost shattered except at the ends.

This level of crushing is quite harsh.

Lin Jie asked, "Dr. Lei, this is due to repetitive crushing, which usually causes such injuries."

"What kind of accident would cause such bone damage?"

Lei Jun lamented, "It's said that this young patient is a troublemaker, often scratching other people's cars."

"This was a harsh lesson given."

Lin Jie understood and said, "So this was a man-made punishment, no wonder it resulted in this."

What deep hatred must there have been to be so cruel to a child?

Seeing Lin Jie's rich expression, Lei Jun advised, "Expert Lin, the police will handle other matters; we just need to focus on treating and saving the patient. We don't need to and can't worry about anything else."

He pointed to the bone fragments on the X-ray and shared his thoughts.

"Expert Lin, the bone fragments are too small. Using a large number of bone screws and pins to fix the fracture isn't practical. It's not only difficult but also likely to cause various invasive infections, which, if aggravated, could result in the risk of a lower leg amputation."

"The most feasible approach is to use artificial bone to replace the crushed fibula and tibia."

"But..."

Lei Jun sighed and said, "This child is only six years old and has at least twelve to thirteen years of growth left."

"If we implant artificial bone, it must match the body's growth, requiring replacement surgery every one to two years."

"The surgery costs, infection risks, and the patient's psychological and physical resilience are all major issues."

He looked hopefully at Lin Jie and said, "Expert Lin, in this situation, do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Jie stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and smiled, "Dr. Lei, do you know how to weave a fishing net?"

"Fishing net?"

Lei Jun repeated somewhat confusedly, shook his head, and said, "I've never woven one before. Expert Lin, do you have an idea?"

Lin Jie smiled and said, "It's a cost-effective method!"

He didn't keep them in suspense and directly said, "Use absorbable sutures to weave a fine net during the surgery to trap these bone fragments, and then use biological glue to stabilize and shape them."

"Children recover quickly, and their ability to heal is strong. It should be very possible for these bone fragments to re-fuse into a single bone."

Lei Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes widening in surprise, filled with an astonishing light, and he excitedly shouted, "It's feasible, it's damn feasible."

"I had considered using steel plates or titanium mesh, but due to material issues, rejection, and invasiveness, I eventually gave up."

"Weaving a fishing net with sutures and fixing the shape with biological glue, this... is a cheap, effective, and brilliant idea,"

"Expert Lin, you always manage to provide unexpected surprises..."

The anxious Lei Jun took his leave to return to the hospital, and Lin Jie returned to the podium to continue his lecture.

Just a few minutes into the lecture, he noticed a young unfamiliar-looking student raising a hand.

In Lin Jie's class, asking questions is not allowed.

Strictly speaking, his students are only the fourteen seated in the front center row; others are there just to audit.

Being able to listen is already good enough, but expecting Lin Jie to answer questions?

That's definitely not going to happen.

Another reason is that the content Lin Jie delivers is considered basic medical knowledge.

The students' questions often arise from weak fundamentals or incorrect knowledge retention, and such questions can be resolved by referring to related medical dissertations.

If a student lacks even this problem-solving ability, such a student is not worth Lin Jie's time.

Thus, Lin Jie directly ignored the student raising the hand and continued the lecture.

That student must have been stubborn, as Lin Jie did not acknowledge him, and he kept his hand raised.

Lin Jie continued for nearly an hour, and this guy kept his hand raised for an hour until the break.

The senior student sitting next to him puzzledly asked, "Classmate, I've already told you, Teacher Lin does not entertain questions from us; why do you keep your hand raised?"

This student had a layer of slightly dense facial fuzz on his upper lip, looked about seventeen or eighteen, and had a delicate and handsome appearance.

His face turned red; he gazed with mixed emotions at Lin Jie's departing back, coldly saying, "My parents are both doctors at a hospital, and I've been learning medical knowledge from them since childhood."

"He made a mistake on a knowledge point earlier, and I wanted to remind him."

"I just didn't expect him to be such a person, making me raise my hand for an entire class..."

"I misjudged him. The difference between rumors and reality is indeed significant, and to think I admired him."

The senior student, very interested, asked, "Made a mistake on a knowledge point?"

"Which one exactly, tell us so we can discuss it together."

The new student snorted dismissively, "Since you didn't catch it, there's no need for you to know..."

"You..."

The senior student, feeling irritated, looked at this new student with an air of arrogance, resisted his anger, shook his head, and got up intending to go to the restroom to release some tension...

At noon, precisely at twelve, Lin Jie ended the class.

As he entered the office building of the Medical College, he saw Chen Shi walking out of the elevator with a long-faced, gray-haired man.

Upon meeting, Chen Shi warmly introduced, "Lin Jie, let me introduce you. This is President Deng Haikuo from Xingwang Biological Pharmaceutical."

Deng Haikuo enthusiastically lauded, "I've heard of you for a long time, admired you for even longer. Seeing you today, Expert Lin, you truly are outstanding."

Lin Jie politely exchanged a few words with him, then accompanied Chen Shi to see him off from the office building.

Once he had left, Lin Jie asked in a low voice, "Xingwang Pharmaceutical, why haven't I heard of it?"

Chen Shi chuckled and said, "It's good you haven't heard of it; it's a veterinary drug company."

"Veterinary drug company?" Lin Jie was full of doubt.

Chen Shi exhaled and sighed, "Acquiring a suitable pharmaceutical company isn't that easy."

"This President Deng's family wants to emigrate overseas, intending to sell, so we got in touch through an introduction."

"Although it's just a small-scale veterinary drug company, both Fanzhi and I have inspected it."

"You could say it's small but complete; it has a disinfection isolation room, R&D room, testing laboratory, production workshop, all quite standard. With minor modifications, it can be used."

Chen Shi laughed, "In a sense, this small pharmaceutical company fits our needs well."

"We have severely limited financial strength, and initially, we can only fully develop and produce one type of drug. Once sales take off and we have revenue and brand recognition, we can continue to expand."

Chen Shi said confidently, "This small pharmaceutical company as a starting point for development is quite good."
