A general-purpose operating room, plus all kinds of surgical instruments, vital sign monitoring equipment, auxiliary and rescue equipment, and various consumables needed for surgery, it can't be done without spending one or two million.

And now Luo Shanshan is starting from scratch to build a new, not small-scale clinic, and she also needs to buy an ambulance. Calculating the initial investment, it's at least three to four million.

Lin Jie thought Luo Shanshan wasn't short of money, but didn't expect her to be so well-off. Instantly, he thought that Luo Shanshan's family background might be somewhat unusual.

While feeling envious, Lin Jie was more pleased.

The deeper Luo Shanshan's background and the stronger her power, the more secure his safety and income would be.

After parting with Luo Shanshan and returning home, Lin Jie was even more delighted to discover that another translation job had proactively found him via email, translating a manual for a German industrial product.

Spending an entire afternoon, and after researching some information, Lin Jie finally completed translating this almost ten-thousand-word manual.

The saying goes: a different industry is like a different mountain. When it comes to industrial materials, especially some technical terms, Lin Jie did indeed face some difficulties translating them.

He sent it to the client, and soon after, he received a text message on his phone notifying him of a bank transfer of one thousand six hundred yuan.

Seeing this pleasing number and thinking about the new job today, Lin Jie suddenly felt that life was so wonderful.

He was just about to put down his phone, planning to make dinner when a WeChat message suddenly popped up, from Li Ting.

"Lin Jie, who became unlikeable after the heart transplant, I announce, from today, I am going to start dieting again."

Lin Jie frowned slightly, his fingers flying over the keyboard, and sent several lines out.

"What method are you planning to use this time, self-harm or self-torture?"

"I advise you to forget it. Round you are quite adorable, like a national treasure panda. Besides, there are typhoons in Binhai every year, you being like this is very safe."

"Go to hell! You better pray I succeed this time, I've already sworn, if I don't succeed in this diet, you and I will never meet again."

"Ah... Is this your euphemistic way of saying you're breaking up with me?"

"Hurry up and die! You've already lost me now!"

Lin Jie just chuckled, thought for a while, and typed out another line, "About my previous advice, check your pituitary gland, I hope you consider it seriously!"

He pressed send, only to be stunned to find that he was no longer the other person's friend!

Seeing the undelivered message, Lin Jie felt momentarily depressed and simply decided not to bother with this person who had become somewhat odd.

In the following week or so, every morning, Lin Jie went to the Qingniao Fitness Center for about two hours of exercise.

In the afternoons and evenings, he did chores at home, studied medical knowledge under Shen Lanruo's guidance, occasionally received calls from Luo Shanshan, answering some of her questions, leading a busy yet fulfilling life.

To prevent getting rusty, Lin Jie really took an interest in chicken, ducks, and fish, often buying some back to practice surgical skills.

Sometimes, he would buy raw pig hearts, lungs, intestines, tails, deliberately chop them up, and then restore them using his superb suturing skills.

Of course, these practice materials were never wasted and would ultimately be turned into delicious dishes by Lin Jie, eaten by Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, and himself.

One afternoon, as usual, Lin Jie logged into his email, expecting junk mail, but to his delight, discovered a work email.

The email stated they had a very important medical paper that needed to be translated into German.

However, the email also mentioned a condition: to prevent the views of this unpublished paper from leaking, Lin Jie needed to translate it under supervision.

For Lin Jie, this was not a problem at all.

After adding the contact's WeChat and negotiating a price of 220 yuan per thousand words, Lin Jie rushed out and finally arrived at the agreed location, McDonald's at Wanda Plaza, ten minutes before the set time.

By now, it was almost dinner time. Lin Jie ordered a hamburger, fries, and cola, took them to a corner, began eating slowly while waiting for the phone to ring.

As a heart transplant patient, such foods shouldn't be eaten or should be eaten sparingly.

Lin Jie should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, restrict the intake of salt and water in his daily diet, and avoid being too hungry or too full!

But, why blame him when he has Shen Lanruo in his heart?

After some experiment comparisons, Shen Lanruo found that oily, high-energy food intake gave a load within the heart's bearable limit.

Additionally, having a strong power source, Lin Jie's body seemed to have entered a second puberty, greatly increasing his energy needs. Lin Jie not only became able to eat but also got hungry quickly.

Under these circumstances, Lin Jie loosened many restrictions on eating.

Just as Lin Jie took a bite of the hamburger, he felt the light dim, and someone sat opposite him.

He looked up and was stunned.

The person before him was an acquaintance, the male colleague from Limin Hospital whom Luo Shanshan disliked, Dr. Ren Jianzhong.

Recalling the sarcasm from Ren Jianzhong that day, Lin Jie naturally wouldn't have a good face, and coldly said, "I'm waiting for someone, please find another spot!"

Ren Jianzhong seemed not to hear Lin Jie's words, a faint smile on his face, he said, "The person you're waiting for is me. I'm the one who invited you out to translate the medical paper."

Lin Jie frowned, displeased, "Your oral German translation might be lacking a bit, but translating a paper should just take more time, you should be capable of handling it!"

"Did you specifically invite me out just to amuse me?"

A trace of displeasure crossed Ren Jianzhong's eyes, but his smile grew broader, saying, "Of course, there's an important matter I need to discuss with you face to face. Here, take a look at this paper!"

As he spoke, he pulled a printed Chinese paper from his leather briefcase and handed it to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie took the paper, quickly browsed through it, and his face turned visibly darker.

It was a medical paper, but the theme was Lin Jie's proposal at Dr. Wolfgang's surgical plan presentation meeting, the idea of "letting the tumor grow a bit longer".

The paper contained many CT images of spinal tumors at different times, and more frustratingly, the analysis of these images had been almost entirely copied from Lin Jie's presentation.

Lin Jie threw the paper on the table and coldly said, "What do you mean by this? All the twenty or thirty doctors present can testify that this viewpoint was first proposed by me."

"I didn't deny that the core viewpoint of this paper is your idea!"

Ren Jianzhong put away the paper with a smile and said, "I specifically invited you today to discuss the transfer of your idea!"
