"Cherish" is not just a word for Lin Jie.

It's only after losing that one realizes how precious something is. Having narrowly escaped death and been reborn, Lin Jie values the people around him immensely.

Lin Miao, more so, is akin to his reverse scale, with a nearly pathological level of concern.

Therefore, after Li Donghai and his wife harmed Lin Miao, Lin Jie, who used to be afraid of even killing a chicken, insisted on not accepting the Du Family's apology and chose the most decisive means of revenge.

When it came to the issue of his biological father, Lin Jie did his best to keep it from Lin Miao, fearing it might cause her harm.

Sensing he couldn't keep it a secret for long and unable to think of the best solution, he even cried in frustration.

Moreover, through their time spent together, An Kexin unknowingly entered Lin Jie's core protection circle.

After expressing his true feelings, regardless of whether others were genuinely moved or pretending to be, unwilling to continue the topic of disaster, he asked Lu Kaicheng, "Lu Donghai was discharged this morning. Has his weight loss been going smoothly these past few days? How many pounds has he lost in total?"

As a specially appointed expert at the Affiliated Hospital, Lin Jie only needed to perform the main diagnosis and surgical treatment for patients. The subsequent rehabilitation treatment and condition follow-up would be taken over by the hospital staff.

The intracranial intervention surgery for Lu Donghai was performed by Lu Kaicheng, and naturally, the follow-up work was also handled by him.

"He has lost a total of thirty-five pounds."

Lu Kaicheng said with a bitter smile, "Strictly controlling Lu Donghai's diet, during the first two days, he cried and fussed like a child. Later, when he got really hungry, he even went to other wards to snatch food."

"With such a big build, who can control him?"

"The patients in the ward, the nurses, and I were all terribly frightened. Fortunately, Zhuang Hongbo, who was accompanying him, arrived in time. He has truly good skills and managed to subdue Lu Donghai in just a few moves."

"In the past two days, Lu Donghai's memory and thinking have somewhat recovered, and he can now be persuaded and coaxed."

"His self-control has also improved a lot. With the care of his family, he can persist in losing weight and exercising, so I arranged for him to be discharged."

Lin Jie nodded lightly.

The last patient he handled, Shu Jiaxiang, had returned to the Capital City at the end of July and only needed to continue physiotherapy to slowly recover.

Xiao Ganghao's mother is also recovering well and doesn't need his attention anymore.

Lin Jie had decided that after diagnosing the illness of the Ma family's child, unless there was a special case, he wouldn't take on new cases, instead focusing on the current cranial arteriovenous replacement project.

"Lin Jie, last week our department took in a patient with cerebral edema..."

Upon hearing this, An Kexin knew they were about to enter a case discussion mode.

Immediately, she invited Du Feixue, Ling Mengjiao, Yang Leyi, Zou Manqing, Meng Xiuyan, Lin Miao, and An Kemeng to get up and head to the newly tidied dining room.

Zhang Xiaoxiao stayed in the living room to serve tea and water to Lin Jie, Chen Qiuhua, and others.

Lin Miao and An Kemeng diligently placed fruit plates, nuts, and several plates of small pastries on the dining table, along with red wine, milk juice, and various drinks for self-service.

Zou Manqing, having just sat down, looked at Meng Xiuyan on her left and Yang Leyi on her right, then stood up, saying, "No, no, I need to change seats!"

"One of you is getting married in October, and the other in November; sitting with you might be contagious, and I don't want to get married so soon."

Hearing the implication in her words, An Kexin smiled and asked, "Manqing, are you being urged to marry?"

Zou Manqing sat down at the empty spot beside An Kemeng and sighed, saying, "Yes, indeed, my parents visited Ganghao's mother at the hospital the day before yesterday."

"Cousin, you wouldn't believe it; it was their first meeting, and they even talked about engagement."

Zou Manqing pouted and complained, "Ganghao and I haven't been together that long; we haven't even had dinner and a movie over ten times. We still need to get to know each other better."

Ling Mengjiao couldn't help but laugh, exposing, "Manqing, you're verbally complaining but actually showing off, right? I've noticed someone browsing engagement ring and wedding dress websites now and then these past two days."

"No way, no way, Mengjiao, you're speaking nonsense." Zou Manqing feigned anger.

Seeing this, Du Feixue, looking really depressed, said, "Kexin, I get why you dragged me here now; you just want to provoke me."

"Lin Jie's undying devotion to you and the three couples here make me feel like I've taken a million points of damage."

"If you're provoked, then hurry and find someone. Don't set your standards too high, and definitely don't use my A Jie as a benchmark!" An Kexin said smugly.

Du Feixue snorted, lowered her voice, and said defiantly, "Kexin, don't be so smug. If that incident hadn't happened back then, who knows how things would've turned out."

An Kexin scoffed secretly, pointed to Yao Siyuan speaking in the living room, and said, "The plastic surgeon at Donghua Hospital is also single. Want his number?"

Du Feixue shook her head immediately, dismissively saying, "Someone that looks like him, and he's a plastic surgeon? His skills are bound to be mediocre."

An Kexin retorted unhappily, "Feixue, don't judge a book by its cover; A Jie approves of his plastic surgery skills..."

At this point, Du Feixue leaned in a little and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with that Dr. Chen Qiuhua?"

An Kexin asked back, "Interested in him?"

Du Feixue straightforwardly said, "That busiest period of my life is over, and I have some free time to consider dating. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and if he's invited to this gathering, surely he's approved by Lin Jie."

"Lin Jie is a good person, not much worse than anyone else."

Du Feixue chuckled, "The main thing is, he's quite good-looking, very handsome. Though not as handsome as Lin Jie, he's definitely taller than Lin Jie."

"Come on, tell me more about him, specifically."

"You're really all about looks!"

An Kexin teased, and then saw Lin Jie's even more impressive appearance. She thought to herself, could it be she's also about looks? When she approached Lin Jie, was it because only his medical skills could save her father?

With her thoughts swirling, An Kexin said, "He's a cardiothoracic surgeon at Tongren Hospital, already an associate chief doctor, and he studied medicine abroad."

"Feixue, you're quite lucky; he's still single."

Du Feixue nodded slightly and said, "Make sure you send me his phone number."

"Seeing you and Lin Jie so happy together, I really want to find someone to live a simple life with..."

Just then, Chen Qiuhua, whom they were discussing, suddenly coughed a few times in a row.

After a while, he finally recovered from the choking.

As soon as he recovered, Chen Qiuhua couldn't help but ask, "Lin Jie, you said what you're teaching now is just basic knowledge?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I've been taking organs like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, intestines, stomach, and brain as references, and connected all the related anatomy and pathology knowledge to explain them thoroughly."

"It's expected that this part of the theoretical foundation will be finished before this year's Spring Festival."

"After that, I'll arrange for them to rotate internships in various departments of the Affiliated Hospital. By then, I'll combine specific cases to conduct more practical diagnostic teaching."

Lin Jie then smiled and said, "Once Anlin Hospital is operational, they'll shift to Anlin Hospital to practice and learn simultaneously."

"Cheap labor, better to use than not."

Yao Siyuan sighed, "I wonder how many people are willing to pay high tuition fees to be driven by you."

He then asked, "Lin Jie, is the hospital's opening date confirmed?"

"It's tentatively set for July, but the exact date isn't confirmed yet." Lin Jie replied.

Chen Qiuhua responded with an "oh" and said, "What I know is that Phoenix Mountain Hospital opens in June, Limin Hospital West Branch in July, and Tongren Hospital West Branch should be in August. Two other specialized hospitals are also in August."

"By this time next year, the Phoenix Mountain District will be lively."

Yao Siyuan countered, "Dr. Chen, you're wrong; it should be quieter."

"Although many residential areas are being built in the Phoenix Mountain District and will be launched for sale next year, it's not something that can attract a crowd in just two or three years."

"Even when the crowd gathers, it will mainly consist of young people, and the incidence rate for this age group is the lowest."

"So, in the first two or three years, it's likely that the number of doctors and nurses will exceed the number of patients in the hospitals."

Chen Qiuhua calmly said, "The hospitals gathered in the Phoenix Mountain District, their target population is not just the nearby residents. Not even the whole Binhai City can satisfy the appetite of so many hospitals."

"The population they intend to impact includes the surrounding five or six provinces and cities, even the entire country."

"As far as I know, the subway line from the city center directly to the Phoenix Mountain District is being constructed day and night and will be completed and operational before next year's Spring Festival."

"I also heard that the expressway from Phoenix Mountain directly to the airport has been approved and is expected to start construction within the year. Also, a new subway line from the high-speed rail station directly to Phoenix Mountain is under route surveying."

Chen Fanzhi agreed, "That's indeed the case."

"According to the city government's plan, the Phoenix Mountain District is designated as a national medical center, and municipal and infrastructure construction will be prioritized, with at least tens of billions in funding in five years."

He turned to look at Lin Jie and smiled, "In a survey conducted by an investigation company, because of you, Lin Jie, Anlin Hospital is the most anticipated hospital by Binhai City residents."

"Its national reputation is remarkable, second only to the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, ranking second in Binhai City."

"The current fame is all just fluff."

Lin Jie softly said, "My ultimate goal is to build Anlin Hospital into an internationally renowned, top-notch research hospital."

"By then, Anlin Hospital will bring together a group of internationally renowned specialists from various fields, and medical research results capable of influencing the world will emerge annually."

"By then, Anlin Hospital will become a holy place for young doctors worldwide to further their studies."

"By then, Anlin Hospital will be the best choice for patients worldwide with various difficult diseases to free themselves from their ailments."

It was Chen Qiuhua, Yao Siyuan, and Chen Lan's first time hearing Lin Jie express his aspirations and describe the future of Anlin Hospital.

Looking at Lin Jie's confident face, they didn't think he was being arrogant or ignorant.

They all felt an inexplicable sensation that this guy, who often accompanies miracles, might really lead Anlin Hospital to achieve such success.
