At 5:30 in the afternoon, Lin Jie arrived at the Medical College's office building, waited for Chen Shi, and walked with him to the dinner gathering at a restaurant on the Binhai University campus, Qiulin Pavilion.
Chen Shi said excitedly, "Lin Jie, I've been busy with that research project for the past few days. Today, I finally finished all the related procedures, and now we can start implementing everything."
Lin Jie thought for a moment and said softly, "Then let's set up a meeting soon to gather the relevant personnel, briefly discuss the matters, and prepare for the first surgery!"
Chen Shi pondered and said, "No need to rush so much!"
"Old Tao still needs to arrange an office, research room, and laboratory, which will take two or three days to prepare. Also, not all the equipment you need is in place yet."
"You just started school, and there are still some trivial tasks to handle. Let's tentatively plan for a meeting on Thursday."
After deciding on the meeting time, Chen Shi suddenly smiled and asked, "Hey, Lin Jie, how's your preparation for substituting my class, as we discussed last time?"
Lin Jie's heart tightened, and he replied somewhat unconfidently, "So-so!"
Regarding this matter, Lin Jie had some ideas and had done plenty of preparation, but teaching for the first time, especially to a group of master's and doctoral students, inevitably made him feel a bit insecure and anxious.
He couldn't help but complain, "Why did you recruit so many students? Can you really train that many? Running large classes like teaching undergraduates isn't going to help their future."
Chen Shi sighed and said helplessly, "You think I want to recruit so many students? I had no choice; the college has plans, and there's pressure from above, so it's not like I don't want to recruit."
"To be honest, I am doing my duty."
"Besides teaching, I meet with each student at least once a month to guide them in their studies. Not like some advisors who treat students as cheap labor for their projects and don't teach them anything."
"Such a responsible person like you still throws all of them at me?" Lin Jie commented sarcastically.
Chen Shi chuckled and said, "It's called the capable carrying more work, and there's another saying... learning through teaching."
He said with some feeling, "I'm quite embarrassed to say I don't know what I should teach you. It seems whatever I know, you already know; whatever I don't know or understand, you also know."
"Perhaps while teaching these folks, you'll discover your own shortcomings and fill in the gaps in your knowledge."
Lin Jie scoffed and shook his head, "You're just looking for an excuse to slack off. I'm impressed."
"I wouldn't be so irresponsible!"
Chen Shi feigned anger and said, "After you teach a few classes, you'll understand my good intentions."
"If you can explain something you can do, it deepens your understanding. If you want to teach others, you must fully comprehend it."
"Teaching is a process of consolidating your knowledge and deepening your memory of the details, which you'll get to experience!"
"Oh, there's another thing!"
Chen Shi smiled mischievously and said, "I've got three more young doctors for further training, and they're under your supervision too."
Lin Jie didn't quite understand and exclaimed, "Don't go overboard. Shouldn't you be taking these doctors for on-site case guidance at the affiliated hospital? How come I'm in charge too?"
He teased, "Didn't you just say you weren't irresponsible? Forgotten so quickly?"
Chen Shi shot Lin Jie a look and said, "They've come for you, who else should take them?"
"These three doctors, one is the daughter of the director of Limin Hospital, an intern; another is introduced by Principal Pan, a resident doctor; and the other is the nephew of Professor Tian Zhiyuan from Jingcheng University, who is quite excellent, a chief doctor."
"The people who introduced them were quite subtle, saying I should mentor them a bit."
"But I know very well; they're not here for me, they've come for you. So, I can only assign them to you."
Lin Jie was momentarily speechless but didn't take it too seriously.
For him, he was already prepared to herd twenty sheep, so adding three more didn't matter.
Chen Shi patted Lin Jie's shoulder and laughed, "This is also a great opportunity."
"Anlin Hospital needs talented and capable doctors. While you're teaching them, see if any have the potential to be nurtured, give them a bit of attention."
"Inviting them to work at Anlin Hospital will come naturally."
Lin Jie could only smile wryly, somewhat annoyed, "Old Chen, stop pretending to be ignorant."
"What Anlin Hospital needs most is the backbone doctors who can lead a department, not semi-finished products that need more training. By the time I've trained them, several or ten years might pass, and I might be exhausted by then."
While chatting, they arrived at Qiulin Pavilion and entered a private room.
As soon as they entered, everyone who had been waiting in the room stood up and greeted Chen Shi respectfully.
Lin Jie was also warmly welcomed.
He responded with smiles to each person, trying not to appear aloof or unsociable.
Lin Jie specifically noticed Yu Jingsheng, who was named by Chen Shi to join the research project. He already knew that Yu was in a combined master's and doctoral program, now in his fourth year, with just one year left until graduation!
He noted that after greeting Chen Shi and himself, Yu Jingsheng retreated to the side and picked up a medical English journal to read.
Seeing him behave like this, Lin Jie concluded in his mind, "Either truly engrossed in medicine or just showing off!"
After a round of greetings, Chen Shi took the main seat first, then pointed to his left and said, "Lin Jie, you sit here!"
Lin Jie didn't refuse and sat next to Chen Shi.
Once everyone settled down, Chen Shi specifically introduced the three young doctors-in-training to Lin Jie.
Fang Lianggong's daughter, Fang Huanru, was cute and petite.
Xiao Ganghao, introduced by Principal Pan, was a rugged-looking guy, easily fitting the role of Zhang Fei with a little makeup.
Tian Zhiyuan's nephew, Tian Xiangyu, had a square face and a slightly flat nose.
After meeting them, Lin Jie looked around at everyone present.
He found that he had no impression of most people, recognizing names and faces only with Shijing Mountain, Yan Beichen, Yu Jingsheng, Song Licheng, and Lu Xiaoyu.
Chen Shi cleared his throat and said, "You all know Lin Jie well. You got a glimpse of his talent through the admission assessments."
"I can honestly tell you, in some medical areas, even I am not as good as Lin Jie."
"For this semester's curriculum, I've made significant changes. Lin Jie will be fully responsible for all your professional courses. For medical queries, you ask Lin Jie."
"If he can't answer..."
Chen Shi shamelessly said, "Then you come to me. Do you all understand my point?"
