Masterful Miracle Doctor

"Ajie, what are you looking at?"

Lin Jie retracted his gaze, turned to An Kexin sitting beside him, smiled, and said, "I saw someone's back and it felt familiar. I thought it was an acquaintance, but I checked and it wasn't."

Lin Jie had already made a decision about this father; since there was no contact before, there wouldn't be any in the future either.

He didn't bother pondering why Xie Xiwen appeared in front of the apartment building and said, "Kexin, Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao, as the head of the household, during this festival, I have to show something."

"How about this: for the items you buy while shopping today, I'll reimburse three items each for you."

An Kexin chuckled softly, "Ajie, you're really perfunctory."

"If you were sincere, you should have prepared the New Year's gifts a few days ago."

Lin Jie had this old habit of not thinking about gifts.

He defended guiltily, "It's just an insignificant Gregorian New Year, but by the time the Lunar New Year arrives, I promise to prepare gifts for each of you in advance."

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lin Miao turned her head and asked with a grin, "Brother, when you say reimburse three items, don't you mean three sets?"

"Alright, if you say it's three sets, it's three sets!"

Lin Jie had just made this bold statement when he realized the problem and hastily restricted, "Miaomiao, don't go overboard with this, thinking that a set means everything from head to toe, inside and out."

Lin Miao sulkily turned her head away from Lin Jie.

"And you too, Kexin!"

Lin Jie turned to the giggling An Kexin and said, "I know that a girl's set of cosmetics can be infinitely expanded. For example, just the red lipstick series alone has dozens of shades."

An Kexin huffed, "No sincerity, and so stingy, making it seem as if we're intentionally taking advantage of you."

She ignored Lin Jie and turned to Zhang Xiaoxiao, asking, "Xiaoxiao, is there anything in particular that you want to buy?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was feeling a bit down, forced a small smile and said, "I don't lack anything."

"Just wandering around with you all, maybe I'll buy something I like when I see it..."

Nearly an hour later, they arrived by car at Lijiang Road, where shops, boutiques, and upscale malls converged, meeting up with An Kemeng, who had arrived earlier.

"Brother Jie, do you really not believe in my determination to study medicine, think that I can't endure hardships or persevere?"

Looking at the little one, who looked like she might burst into tears, Lin Jie smiled inwardly, remaining unmoved, and said, "Kemeng, determination alone is not enough."

"Since you didn't have similar experiences or facts to prove yourself before, I can only test you."

"Over the past two months of testing, you've performed quite well."

"As a reward, I've specially allowed you to enjoy the longest holiday."

Seeing An Kemeng's little mouth still pouting high, Lin Jie smiled and said, "It seems you're not very satisfied with this reward!"

"How about I take back the reward, and we continue the test?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm very satisfied!"

An Kemeng's face immediately brightened, snuggling up and hugging Lin Jie's arm, said coquettishly, "Brother Jie, I'm just acting a bit to make you feel guilty and treat me better."

She then muttered softly, "You really don't know how to play along or how to coax a girl!"

Lin Miao came over, holding onto An Kemeng's other arm, giggling, "Brother said he could reimburse three items for each of us as New Year's gifts."

"Mengmeng, is there anything in particular you want to buy?"

Hearing this, An Kemeng immediately clamored, "Brother Jie, I want to buy a sports car, I want to learn to drive in the next few months!"

Lin Jie was speechless, "Buy a sports car? Why not buy a private jet instead?"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao approached with her phone, saying, "Ge Qiuzhi is calling for you."

Ge Qiuzhi!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Jie immediately remembered she was the woman who underwent surgery for a parasitic fetus, and also the future head of pathology at Anlin Hospital.

Based on the timeline, that baby should be born soon too.

He took the phone and first said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, An Kexin, Lin Miao, and others, "You guys go shopping first; it's pretty cold to stay outside this weather."

The word "cold" wasn't applicable to Lin Jie.

When he went out today, he was wrapped in multiple layers by Zhang Xiaoxiao, An Kexin, and Lin Miao.

Lin Jie put the phone to his ear and heard the loud cries of a baby, smiling as he said, "Dr. Ge, congratulations!"

"Expert Lin, it's a cesarean section performed this morning."

"Weighing 3,100 grams, it's a boy. The examination results are all normal, and the child is very healthy, his cries also very loud."

The voice on the phone, though somewhat weak, could not hide the excitement and joy.

Lin Jie also spoke with a lively tone, "I heard those cries; indeed, they're quite loud."

"Expert Lin, thank you! Thank you!"

"Without you, my child wouldn't have been born so healthily and smoothly..."

At this moment, a faint voice came from the phone, "Don't cry, you just gave birth, don't pull at your wound."

After a burst of static, a woman's voice came through the phone, "Expert Lin, this is Yan Yuesi, thank you!"

Regarding this gynecologist, who had some unpleasantness before, Lin Jie responded calmly, "No need to thank me, it's a doctor's duty, it's part of the job."

"Dr. Yan, please pass on my blessings to Dr. Ge and her child..."

Just as Lin Jie was about to hang up, Yan Yuesi's voice came through again, "Expert Lin, do you still remember?"

"Back then, you assessed me as 'a rooster head type' talent and said I was arrogant and lacked emotional control?"

Being confronted so directly, Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Those were just some words said in the heat of the moment."

"Dr. Yan, I truly apologize..."

"No need to apologize, because what you said..."

Yan Yuesi said in a dull tone, "Was very accurate, not just a little!"

"Expert Lin, you might know, I recently went to a hospital on Hong Kong Island for an exchange program."

"In that hospital, although they were quite courteous to me, everything was done according to rules and regulations."

"In comparison, I suddenly realized how much preferential treatment and privilege I received at Ludong Renmin Hospital."

"I only managed to stick it out in Hong Kong Island for a little over a month before I couldn't stand it and came back."

"It seems, for this lifetime, I can only stay at Ludong Renmin Hospital..."

Lin Jie hung up the phone and noticed that, besides Qin Gang, An Kexin was also with him.

He tugged at An Kexin, who was looking down at her phone, and said, "Let's go, we should find Miaomiao and Kemeng in the store. I'm not cold, but you might be."

"Hey, A-Jie, wait a moment!"

An Kexin handed the phone to Lin Jie and said, "You definitely recognize these people, right?"

It was a photo from a banquet, showing several people gathered and chatting. Lin Jie indeed recognized them: Dr. Yu from the ENT department, Dr. Qiu from the emergency department, and Dr. Tang from the colorectal department, among others.

These individuals were reputable associate directors and director-level doctors at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.

An Kexin continued, "A-Jie, this was taken at the wedding banquet of Luo Pengyi today."

"Their presence at the Luo family wedding banquet might suggest they've accepted offers from Phoenix Mountain Hospital."

Today was the wedding of Luo Pengyou and Cai Yanhe of Zhengda Pharmaceutical. Lin Jie intentionally went out for a walk, partly to help Zhang Xiaoxiao relax.

He swiped through the photos on the phone, browsing through pictures of the wedding and banquet, and saw many familiar faces among the doctors.

Lin Jie couldn't help but say, "Kexin, did you send commercial spies to secretly take photos of the wedding guests?"

"Almost!"

An Kexin softly said, "It's quite easy to ask a few hotel staff members to take some photos."

"For such a significant event, anyone connected to the Luo family or Phoenix Mountain Hospital would attend. Knowing your enemy as much as yourself guarantees victory in many battles. Understanding their strength helps us gauge the situation."

Lin Jie nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, he paused on a photo, pointing to a person in it, and asked, "Why is Chen Fanzhi at this wedding too? Doesn't he understand the grudge between the Luo family and us?"

An Kexin saw Chen Fanzhi in the photo, thought for a moment, and realized, "He's probably there for the bride."

"The bride is the little princess of Zhengda Pharmaceutical, and her cousin is an agent for Zhengda Pharmaceutical."

Lin Jie made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Zhengda Pharmaceutical is one of the leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, with extensive connections. Many doctors at the wedding might be attending to honor Zhengda Pharmaceutical."

"Your plan to know your enemy might not work out."

An Kexin took the phone from Lin Jie and said, a little unconvinced, "These doctors at the wedding are at least suspicious."

"I will ask Dean Gong and others to carefully identify these people."

"To find out if any have signed work agreements with us. If there are any, we must confirm their work intentions again."

"We don't want them to cancel the contract right before we open, severely affecting our operations."

Lin Jie was moved and agreed, "Kexin, your idea is very good."

"On our opening day, losing key personnel would heavily disrupt hospital operations. Opening and being unable to see patients would have a very negative impact."

An Kexin smiled and said, "We've thought about this already."

"The work agreements stipulate a required one-month notice for cancellation. Otherwise, they owe us a high compensation for breach of contract."

As they entered the mall, Lin Jie felt a warm breeze hit his face, making him feel warm all over, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

He twitched his nose and frowned.

A faint metallic smell filled the air!

Someone who often deals with blood could easily recognize this smell.

The faint metallic tang was the smell of human blood.
