The meeting place between Lin Jie and Han Wenbin was a café next to the headquarters of Han Group.

Observing the elegantly decorated European-style private room, Lin Jie smiled and said, "Why didn't you arrange the meeting in your office? I suppose your office is more luxurious and spacious than here!"

Han Wenbin gestured with his hand, inviting Lin Jie to sit, and said, "Meeting here makes it seem like I am not trying to overpower you!"

"Lin Jie, whether you believe it or not, I consider you a friend."

Lin Jie gave a slight smile and sat across from Han Wenbin, "It's Sunday today, and this place is so close to your headquarters building; it seems like you're busy with company affairs today as well?"

"That doesn't quite match the impression I had of you before."

Han Wenbin did not answer this question and instead asked, "Coffee, tea, or a drink?"

"A cup of tea, please. I can't get used to the bitter taste of coffee!" Lin Jie replied.

Han Wenbin personally poured him a cup of tea and said softly, "As a man, at some point, you have to take on the responsibilities you are supposed to shoulder!"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes slightly and sipped his tea.

"I should first say thank you! Otherwise, the hospital painstakingly built might have been led astray by Daniel Li and those behind him."

Lin Jie couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Hey, can you tell me exactly what kind of punishment you gave him?"

Han Wenbin said in a mild tone, "Times have changed. I am now a civilized person with status and position; I won't just break people's arms, legs, or drown them, which would be too bloody, violent, and uncivilized."

He showed an amused smile and said, "I just had someone film videos of Daniel Li being harmonious and friendly with some animals!"

Lin Jie was stunned for a moment before understanding what the so-called "harmony and friendship video" meant. He felt so nauseated that he didn't even want to drink his tea.

Damn it, doesn't this Han Wenbin have some perverse hobby?

"Let's talk about business!"

Lin Jie didn't want to spend more time with this guy.

Han Wenbin nodded and said, "I've read the analysis by several medical experts on the application prospects of Dean Tao's research project."

"The analysis pointed out that the research results have extremely broad application prospects in fields like treatment of sports injuries, high-impact cosmetic surgeries, regional limb nerve damage, and even limb replantation, among many others."

"One might say that the honor and benefits brought by this research accomplishment are quite significant."

"However..."

Han Wenbin said meaningfully, "I guess that the true leader of this project should be the renowned Expert Lin, right?"

"And that Dean Tao and Professor Chen were mainly benefiting from your status being inconvenient at the time?"

Lin Jie chuckled without saying anything!

To those with eyes, it's clear; whether admitted or not, it's the same. But it's always necessary to leave Dean Tao some face.

"Dean Tao told me that he personally fronted the research funding for this project."

"Currently, he has only paid some equipment costs and the surgery fees, bed fees, and medication fees at Donghua Hospital, while the largest expenditure..."

"Your labor costs have not yet been paid."

As he said this, Han Wenbin took a check placed by his side and gently put it in front of Lin Jie.

Ten million!

This was a check for ten million in cash.

Lin Jie was a bit surprised; this was much more than he expected.

At the start of the project, Tao Taqing promised only about a hundred million for the project funding.

Lin Jie thought for a moment, feeling that this money would be hard to accept, and cautiously asked, "What conditions do you have?"

Han Wenbin chuckled and said, "No conditions, just one request!"

"Let me first declare that whether or not you agree to this request, this check is yours, as it is what you deserve."

Hearing this, although Lin Jie very much wanted to pocket the check, he still said, "As the saying goes, those who accept gifts feel beholden; you might as well state your request first!"

Han Wenbin poured Lin Jie some more tea before speaking, "This project result, without a doubt, can earn a lot of honor and can also help Tongren Hospital West Branch gain fame, while attracting many patients coming for it."

"Taking advantage of this project's influence, our Tongren Hospital West Branch plans to establish a Limb Nerve Damage Research Center and a Severe Disfigurement Repair Center."

"As for the Sports Injury Research Center..."

Han Wenbin said grudgingly, "Naturally, it would be up to your Anlin Hospital to set it up."

"However..."

He pointed at Lin Jie and said, "You are the true achiever of this project outcome, and only you... can truly cure patients with similar conditions!"

"Even if other doctors practice and study hard, it won't happen in a short time."

"If the patients who come because of the hospital's reputation don't receive treatment that matches the external promotions, the hospital's reputation will be severely affected."

"Therefore, I hope you can work as a part-time expert at the Tongren Hospital West Branch, mainly responsible for training and guiding the doctors of two research centers, and treating special patients."

"No way!"

Without thinking, Lin Jie directly refused, "At that time, I will devote all my time and energy to Anlin Hospital. Moreover, my physical condition doesn't allow me to overwork."

Han Wenbin chuckled lightly and said, "I have naturally considered your situation! Listen to my detailed terms first, and then decide, it's not too late!"

"As a part-time expert at the Tongren Hospital West Branch, you don't need to be on duty, and you will receive a monthly fee of 200,000. We will only assign four excellent doctors to follow you, accept your guidance, and deployment."

"You can even let them work tirelessly at Anlin Hospital, treating patients, and we have no objections."

"The only strict requirement is that every month, you need to complete a teaching surgery at the Tongren Hospital West Branch."

"As for the patients, they are naturally those seeking treatment at these two research centers."

This condition is quite generous!

Lin Jie hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and slowly shook his head, "Still no!"

"Anlin Hospital and Tongren Hospital West Branch are competitors. I am a shareholder of Anlin Hospital, and my relationship with the An family is closer than you can imagine; I cannot act as a resource for the enemy."

Han Wenbin looked at Lin Jie, smiled gently, and said meaningfully, "If, and I say if, the An family agrees, meaning they don't oppose you taking this part-time position, would you not reject my request?"

"How could the An family agree? Your assumption is meaningless!" Lin Jie insisted!

"There's an old saying, times change. The An family doesn't agree today, nor tomorrow, but soon, they definitely will."

Lin Jie increasingly felt that the smile on Han Wenbin's face was filled with intrigue, causing concern!

He abruptly stood up and warned, "Han Wenbin, don't use lowly and despicable tactics. I must tell you, An Kexin is my fiancée!"

"I am now united with the An family, in honor and disgrace, and if you do anything bad to the An family, even though I am alone and weak, I also have ways to retaliate."

Han Wenbin waved his hand and said, "Lin Jie, I can assure you that as a person of identity and status, I absolutely will not use disgraceful methods."

"However, I need to give you a reminder."

"I won't use disgraceful methods, but that doesn't mean others won't."

He said solemnly, "Lin Jie, use your voice to remind the An family, they will have big trouble soon..."

With a heavy face, Lin Jie hurriedly got into a vehicle and said, "To the Golden Tripod Building, quickly!"

Seeing Lin Jie's serious tone, Qin Gang accelerated the driving speed, reaching the destination in a little over forty minutes for what would normally be a more than hour-long journey.

Lin Jie arrived at the An family, and An Weize, An Kexin, and An Kemeng greeted him together in the living room!

Seeing An Kemeng next to Lin Jie, An Weize gently instructed, "Kemeng, Ajie is here to discuss matters this time. You should head back to your room to study first, and after we finish talking, then go and play with Ajie!"

An Kemeng pouted and said, "Who has the mood to study! Ah..."

She suddenly remembered something and smiled, "Since it's this time, Brother Jie will definitely stay for dinner! I'll go let Auntie know so she can prepare a few signature dishes!"

Watching her bounce off to the kitchen, An Weize couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "Ajie, you mentioned an important matter, let's head to the study to discuss it!"

The three moved to the second-floor study, and after sitting down separately, Lin Jie recounted the conversation with Han Wenbin in detail.

He said solemnly, "I repeatedly inquired about what the big trouble is!"

"Annoyingly, this guy wouldn't say a word, only telling me that the trouble is unavoidable, and to be prepared."

"This Han Wenbin doesn't seem like someone who sounds the alarm carelessly or speaks without thinking."

"Uncle An, Kexin, have you noticed anything? Any intuitions?"

An Weize and An Kexin furrowed their brows, exchanging several glances.

An Kexin pondered a moment and said, "Recently, company matters, charity affairs, and hospital construction have all been going smoothly; aside from the internal mole issue, there haven't been any unexpected events!"

She continued, "The most recent large contract, the one with the United States for medical equipment, even if irreparable issues arise, it's just a loss of less than twenty million on the first order."

"That loss is not insignificant, but it shouldn't reach the level of 'big trouble' as mentioned by Han Wenbin!"

An Weize lightly patted his own thigh and said, "Recently, Luo Wantong has been offering to buy our building, but I've directly refused all attempts. Other than that, there's nothing suspicious!"

The three pondered and checked for over an hour but couldn't think of any abnormal situation.

An Weize said in a deep voice, "Ajie, Kexin, don't worry."

"The company has reached its current level after weathering many storms, and every time we have gotten through smoothly."

"Face troops with generals and water with earth! If there's really a big storm, a big trouble, we will face it together."

"We must not mess up our formation and give others an opportunity to exploit."
