Masterful Miracle Doctor

December 19th, Sunday.

Lin Jie heard another unfortunate piece of news.

Mr. Herbert, who eagerly boarded a plane to return home on Saturday, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while playing a stimulating game with his fiancée, Lili, in the airplane's restroom at ten thousand meters high.

Although there was luckily a doctor on the plane, due to the lack of effective rescue medical equipment, Herbert ultimately and unfortunately passed away.

Lili ultimately did not become Mrs. Herbert.

But fortunately, Herbert recorded a video that could be considered a will using Lili's phone, and it's said that Lili can inherit the estate.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Jie couldn't help but maliciously wonder if Lili had intentionally tempted that guy.

December 21st, Tuesday.

Lin Jie spent six hours performing a spinal cord tumor removal surgery on Li Chao's mother.

December 22nd, Wednesday.

Lin Jie was researching plastic surgery materials at Binhai Armed Police General Hospital.

He also learned from Water Buffalo that, due to conclusive evidence, Gao Qihua and Wei Zhifeng have already admitted to their mistakes and charges, and they will face strict legal penalties.

December 24th, Friday.

For the reason of conserving energy, Lin Jie once again declined an invitation to a reception party hosted by the British Consulate.

That evening, he spent a warm Christmas Eve at home with An Kexin, An Kemeng, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and others.

According to Lin Jie, that night, Guan Muhua accepted Fang Huanru's invitation for dinner to celebrate this foreign holiday.

December 25th, Saturday.

During the day, Lin Jie spent eight hours performing a second cosmetic surgery on Gan Yong.

This time, the main focus was transforming Gan Yong's facial features.

In the evening, it was the day of the An Family's annual reception party.

As the son-in-law of the An Family, an important partner of the An Corporation, and a prominent figure of Anlin Hospital, Lin Jie naturally couldn't be absent.

At the reception venue, after exchanging greetings with dozens of people who came to say hello, only then did Lin Jie's glass of juice run low.

Even so, those who came specifically to greet Lin Jie didn't feel they were slighted.

First, because the fact that Lin Jie couldn't drink was already well-known.

Second, because Lin Jie's current reputation as a world-class top-notch doctor was something they already revered.

"Hey, here's a glass of kiwi juice for you!"

Lin Jie took the juice from Qi Xingfen's hand, glanced at her wearing a black cocktail dress, elegant and intellectual, and said with a smile, "Why didn't your husband accompany you? Isn't he afraid someone might steal you away?"

Qi Xingfen chuckled softly, "When it comes to the gatherings of doctors, my husband has always been extremely at ease."

"In his words, we doctors always look beyond appearances to essence, and never care about external beauty."

"This even more applies to you, Expert Lin."

"No matter how ugly an Eastern Shi, with your skillful hands, can become as beautiful as a Western Shi."

Lin Jie glanced at An Kexin, busy entertaining guests, laughed pleasantly and said, "No one can resist beautiful things. The reason your husband is at ease with you is that he's extremely confident in himself."

Qi Xingfen nodded and laughed, "You could say that. In today's terms, he's just a really conceited guy."

"Hey, Expert Lin, have you heard that Phoenix Mountain Hospital is about to establish a close cooperation relationship with Johns Hopkins Hospital?"

Lin Jie shook his head, "I haven't heard of it!"

"Dr. Qi, do you know what kind of cooperation this close relationship entails?"

Considering the increasing number of competent nationals going to big overseas hospitals for treatment, to capture this part of the medical market, many domestic medical institutions have hung up signs claiming cooperation with well-known foreign hospitals over the years.

However, many of these collaborations are just in name only, a borrowing of the name, or merely exchange visits and training at the doctor level.

Or, it's like an intermediary agency under the hospital, sending patients to the counterpart, similar to the role Slophel currently plays for Lin Jie.

Qi Xingfen softly said, "I have a friend working at Johns Hopkins Hospital."

"She says, from the information she currently has, this kind of cooperation is quite in-depth."

"Involving doctor exchanges, remote diagnosis, and patient referral, etc."

She said with some concern, "Expert Lin, this should be a relatively deep and substantive cooperation."

Lin Jie smiled and nonchalantly said, "This is a good thing."

"The more formidable Phoenix Mountain Hospital becomes, the more people it will attract to the Phoenix Mountain District for treatment."

"If Tongren Hospital West Branch and Limin Hospital West Branch can also achieve some accomplishments, perhaps the Phoenix Mountain District could quickly become a well-known medical center in surrounding provinces and even nationwide."

"By that time, patients from both domestic and abroad will come in an endless stream."

"With just our Anlin Hospital alone, it would be like one tree doesn't make a forest."

Qi Xingfen, after a slight pause, laughed and said, "Expert Lin, this is when I truly realize, our levels are really different."

"I worry that the counterpart's strength is too strong and will snatch away our patients."

"Whereas you worry the counterpart's strength isn't strong enough to bring aggregation advantages to the Phoenix Mountain District."

"Throughout China, perhaps only you, Expert Lin, have the confidence to fear no competition from any medical institution."

Lin Jie humbly said, "My confidence actually comes more from all of you."

"Dr. Qi, once Anlin Hospital opens, you will discover that many of your colleagues, though perhaps not well-known, are competent."

"More importantly, they have an unsatisfied with the status quo, diligent, and hardworking spirit."

"I am confident that with all of you, we can create a glorious future for Anlin Hospital."

Qi Xingfen earnestly replied, "I believe that."

"The kind of leader sets the kind of team."

"President An and Dean Gong must have selected the medical staff according to your standards and preferences."

"I'm very fortunate to have made the right choice in working under your leadership, Expert Lin."

"I'm also delighted to work with you, Dr. Qi..."

Before finishing the sentence, Lin Jie paused, his expression darkening as he looked at the two people entering through the main door of the banquet hall.

Curious, Qi Xingfen turned her head and followed Lin Jie's gaze, only to be taken aback as well.

Entering were Hu Yuanqing from the Hu Family and a foreign man with a full beard and glasses.

Hu Yuanqing noticed them and whispered a few words to the foreign man beside him before both walked towards Lin Jie.

When they got closer, Hu Yuanqing slightly inclined his head and said, "Dr. Lin, I came uninvited this time."

"Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Mandel, the vice president of Stanford University Hospital, who is with me."

He introduced with some pride, "Mr. Mandel is here at Kangning Hospital to sign a cooperation agreement with us."

"As per this cooperation, Stanford University Hospital and we will establish a deep partnership."

"We will fully utilize modern technology to allow patients to receive remote diagnosis and treatment from medical experts at Stanford University Hospital without having to leave the country."

Lin Jie paid no attention to Hu Yuanqing and instead looked at Mandel, politely saying in English, "Mr. Mandel, welcome to China, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Dr. Lin Jie, it is also my great honor to meet you."

Mandel studied Lin Jie and said admiringly, "I have thoroughly researched the information about you; you are truly remarkable."

"This time, I specifically asked Mr. Hu to bring me over to meet you, wanting to extend you an invitation on behalf of Stanford University Hospital."

"Dr. Lin Jie, do you have any interest in working in the United States?"

"As for the medical practice qualification issue, please don't worry, the hospital will handle it for you."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "Thank you for the invitation, but I can only regretfully decline you!"

"If you know enough about me, you should be aware that a hospital I am preparing with collaborators will be operational by mid-next year."

Mandel said with a tone of regret, "I also expected you would decline this invitation."

"However, I have another proposal that I sincerely hope you will consider."

"The Lin Jie Healing Technique you pioneered has already been verified in the laboratory and can be implemented and promoted."

"This technique demonstrates your incredibly detailed understanding of the brain. Furthermore, your previously published research paper on cortical and arterial replacement in 'Nature' has garnered significant international attention."

"Stanford University Hospital is renowned worldwide for its research in neuroscience."

"Several of the hospital's neuroscience experts wish to collaborate with you on certain studies; what do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jie said, "In this regard, I need to further communicate with your hospital's neurology experts to finalize a decision."

Mandel smiled and said, "That is exactly their wish, and I've also brought their personal business cards with me specifically."

Then, Lin Jie exchanged business cards with Mandel.

Seeing this, Hu Yuanqing's face turned somewhat gloomy.

Kangning Hospital had exerted tremendous effort and yielded significant benefits to secure such a cooperation with Stanford University Hospital.

But as soon as Mandel met Lin Jie, he eagerly pursued collaboration.

Hu Yuanqing felt gloomy but could do nothing, for Lin Jie possessed the Dragon Slaying Skill.

Having achieved his purpose for the visit, Mandel quickly immersed himself in the atmosphere of the cocktail party, leaving Lin Jie to enjoy the fine wine and chat with others about life.

Looking at Lin Jie with a complex expression, Hu Yuanqing couldn't help but speak, "Patients coming to Kangning Hospital can not only enjoy remote diagnosis services from medical experts at Stanford University Hospital."

"We will also regularly invite medical experts from them to come for consultations and surgeries at Kangning Hospital."

He confidently said, "Lin Jie, many people in the country adopt a 'whoever feeds me is my mother' attitude; as long as Kangning Hospital can provide better medical services, they will choose to forget past incidents."

"Kangning Hospital will soon break free of its current predicament and regain its former glory."

"And Anlin Hospital, relying solely on you, how will you contend with the targeted competition from Phoenix Mountain Hospital and Kangning Hospital?"

"I can also disclose one more piece of information to you!"

In schadenfreude, Hu Yuanqing said, "Phoenix Mountain Hospital will also establish a deep cooperative relationship with Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the top ten in the United States."

"Lin Jie, let me also reveal that Phoenix Mountain Hospital's main competitive target is Anlin Hospital."

"With the hard stance from Phoenix Mountain Hospital, Anlin Hospital, relying solely on the thin financial resources of the An Family, would be lucky to sustain for two years."

Lin Jie snorted disdainfully and said, "I can also tell you something: even if Kangning Hospital and Phoenix Mountain Hospital target Anlin Hospital, Anlin Hospital's goal isn't even you guys."

"Anlin Hospital's goal is top-tier global hospitals like Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital."

He glanced at Hu Yuanqing dismissively and said: "We are not on the same level; you are not qualified to be my targets."

Hu Yuanqing felt a mix of disappointment and anger, mocking, "A hospital with just a couple hundred million invested, one that hasn't even opened yet, setting its sights on the level of Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital?"

"Should I say you're too arrogant, not knowing yourself?"

Lin Jie found it beneath him to argue, calmly saying, "Talking more is useless; just watch how the future unfolds."

He recalled something and laughed, "Last year, at a banquet hosted by the An Family, your father vowed to block my entrance to Binhai University."

"And this year, you're flaunting cooperation from Stanford University Hospital to me."

Lin Jie chuckled meaningfully, "I hope your experiences moving forward will be better than your father's..."
