The gender transformation surgery for Cui Shanshan in the teaching operating room started at 9 a.m. and didn't finish until nearly 2 p.m., exceeding the schedule by more than an hour.

The extra time was spent by Lin Jie on the step of implanting the cut diaphragmatic membrane strips.

Upon exiting the operating room, Lin Jie saw An Kexin and a middle-aged man with a greasy face and an unnatural smile approaching him.

With a glance, he noticed that the man had undergone surgery to elevate his nasal bridge and modify the corners of his eyes and mouth.

The cosmetic surgery on this person's face was fairly skillful, hard for an average person to detect, but not enough to escape Lin Jie's discerning eye.

An Kexin began to introduce him, "Ah Jie, let me introduce you to Dr. Miao Yuanhua from Northern Jiangsu, whom I specially invited to observe your surgery."

"Just learning, just learning!"

Miao Yuanhua said with a broad smile, "Today I truly had my horizons broadened. Not to mention your awe-inspiring surgical skills, just the innovation with the diaphragmatic membrane alone can trigger a huge sensation in the gender transformation medical community."

"I'm extremely impressed, utterly floored."

He said with a face full of regret, "Why didn't I think of this genius and imaginative idea?"

"This method was just an accidental find, just luck!"

Lin Jie modestly replied, just as he saw Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Fang, and others hurrying over.

"Teacher, teacher!"

Lu Xiaoyu waved his phone excitedly, shouting, "Teacher, your paper is published in the latest issue of 'Nature', and it's already news on the school and hospital websites."

Lin Jie gave a faint smile and said, "It was decided long ago, no need to get so excited."

Miao Yuanhua's eyes flashed with envy, and he exaggeratedly said, "'Nature', it's actually 'Nature'! That's an international top academic journal, I could die of excitement if I ever published a paper there in my lifetime."

"Expert Lin, you are amazing, you are my idol, I admire you so much."

Lin Jie disliked this man's exaggeration and said flatly, "Dr. Miao, I'll freshen up first, then we can go for a casual meal…"

More than half an hour later, the three appeared in a private room in the hospital's internal restaurant.

After some brief pleasantries, before Lin Jie could ask any professional questions, Miao Yuanhua jumped in, "Expert Lin, President An, I feel very appreciated by you both, and I'm very satisfied with the employment conditions offered by Anlin Hospital."

"Especially after witnessing today's perfect gender transformation surgery, I am 100% certain that under Expert Lin's lead, Anlin Hospital will surely achieve great success."

Miao Yuanhua slowly said, "In principle, I already consider myself as part of Anlin Hospital, hehe…"

"In principle," this was a loaded statement.

Lin Jie furrowed his brow slightly and exchanged a glance with An Kexin.

An Kexin smiled softly and said, "Dr. Miao, if you have any concerns or requests, please speak directly."

"Changing jobs isn't a simple choice for a doctor. It's best to lay everything out clearly. What we can do, we will certainly do. If we can't, we can only apologize."

Miao Yuanhua sighed and said, "As a plastic surgeon, making money is relatively easy. More and more people are inclined to use surgery to enhance their appearance."

"However, producing research results is extremely difficult."

"To be honest with President An and Expert Lin, this year I have the opportunity to be promoted to chief doctor, but what I lack is a decent research result."

He smiled and said, "If I join Anlin Hospital with the title of chief doctor, it would be splendid for the hospital, wouldn't it?"

Hearing this, An Kexin had a vague guess, glanced at Lin Jie with a calm expression, and asked, "Dr. Miao, about the research results you mentioned…"

Miao Yuanhua looked at Lin Jie with burning eyes and said expectantly, "Expert Lin, who came up with the genius idea of the diaphragmatic membrane and got a paper published in the top academic journal 'Nature', surely it's easy for you to come up with a good idea!"

He confidently said, "President An, Expert Lin, I can assure you that under my leadership, the profit of Anlin Hospital's plastic surgery department in the first year will not be less than five million!"

Miao Yuanhua waved his hand and said boldly, "I can sign a military order…"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jie stood up and said coldly, "Dr. Miao, there's no need for a military order, you do not meet Anlin Hospital's employment standards."

After saying this, he left the private room straight away.

Before he could exit the restaurant, Lin Jie heard the sound of high heels clacking on the ground, and then his arm was taken hold of, followed by a familiar voice, "Ah Jie, come, let's go to another restaurant to eat."

Lin Jie stopped and turned to look at An Kexin, saying, "Kexin, aren't you mad at me for being impulsive and not giving face?"

An Kexin smiled radiantly and said, "How could I be!"

"Although buying and selling academic papers or achievements isn't an uncommon thing in the industry, our development goal for Anlin Hospital is to be an internationally renowned hospital and research center."

"The doctors we select not only must have abilities, but they also must pass the moral criterion."

An Kexin snorted, "We absolutely cannot let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

"Besides, who does this guy think he is, daring to outright demand your research result, isn't he afraid the wind will cut off his tongue, such a brazen request."

Lin Jie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to Western food!"

An Kexin happily responded and suddenly said, "Ah Jie, thank you for covering up and dealing with the matter when Kemeng hit someone."

Lin Jie chuckled guiltily and said, "It's what I should do, Kemeng is like Miaomiao to me, I treat her like my own little sister."

He grumbled, "That person told me not to tell, yet she confessed everything herself."

"She didn't confess, her class teacher called me."

An Kexin playfully glanced at Lin Jie and said, "Ah Jie, if anything like this happens again in the future, you must not help her hide it from me."

Lin Jie explained, "I didn't intentionally hide it from you, I understood that it wasn't Kemeng's fault, the root cause was that person pestering her."

"Such a person deserves a good lesson."

He remembered something and asked, "Have you taught Kemeng martial arts?"

An Kexin chuckled softly and said, "I haven't taught her much, just some women's self-defense techniques…"

In the evening, when Lin Jie returned home, he heard Zhang Xiaoxiao feigning anger, complaining, "Ah Jie, I spent all afternoon answering phone calls, one after another, all congratulating you on your paper being published."

"Did you receive many congratulatory calls on your own number?"

Lin Jie smiled and said, "There were some, just a few. Most people who know my number already knew the news in advance, so there's no need to call to celebrate."

"However, Principal Pan specially called to tell me that according to the school's reward system, there will be a 300,000 yuan bonus forthcoming."

Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, really a 300,000 yuan bonus? Ah Jie, Ah Jie, if you write a few more, say three or four papers a year, you could make a million a year!"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think they're radishes and potatoes from the market, available just because you want them? It takes killing many brain cells to write such a paper."

Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted, "I didn't see you breaking a sweat, yet this paper got written somehow."

Lin Jie didn't want to engage with her, returned to the study, and once again took out Little Lucy's examination materials to further optimize the surgery plan…
