At 9 a.m. on Friday, a small meeting in the comprehensive building of the University Affiliated Hospital was attended by a dozen people, including Cheng Xingguang, Jiang Hao, Qi Xingfen, Lei Jun, and Guan Yifan.

Lin Jie gently knocked on the whiteboard beside him and said, "Everyone is very busy, and this time I've gathered you here to briefly discuss the cranial separation surgery for the conjoined twins, which will be held next Friday, the 18th on the lunar calendar."

"The purpose is to coordinate and confirm each person's tasks."

"First of all, I want to thank the colleagues from Pediatrics and Nursing."

Lin Jie praised, "Thanks to their efforts, the physical fitness of the two babies has greatly improved, especially little Xiaoxiao, whose organ function was somewhat underdeveloped."

"This allows them to endure this unprecedented marathon surgery."

"Dr. Lin, you're too kind!"

Liu, the Director of Pediatrics present, humbly replied, "This is our duty, and it is our honor to participate in this first cranial separation surgery for infants in the hospital's history."

The Head of the Nursing Department also stated, "Dr. Lin, to be honest, our department has already made full preparations for the nursing work of the two infants after the surgery's success."

"Thank you for the support and hard work of both directors!"

Lin Jie continued, "Now I will talk about the arrangements for the operating room!"

He glanced at Cheng Xingguang and said, "Everyone understands that due to the needs for promotion and publicity, this surgery will be conducted in the hospital's teaching observation operating room, allowing visiting journalists to observe and document the surgical process."

"Of course, these external factors will be strictly controlled by Dean Cheng and will not affect our surgery."

Speaking of which, Lin Jie couldn't help touching his still sore tooth and looked at Cheng Xingguang.

Cheng Xingguang, somewhat guilty, said, "Dr. Lin, this time, I will definitely strengthen the precautions and ensure that no unexpected problems arise."

Being the dean, Lin Jie gave him face and decided not to dwell on last night's incident. He turned his gaze to Jiang Hao and asked, "Dr. Jiang, how much time does the part of the surgery you are responsible for require?"

"About ten hours!"

Lin Jie wrote the Arabic number "10" on the whiteboard.

"Dr. Qi?"

"Nine hours!"

"Dr. Lei?"

"About four hours!"

"Dr. Guan?"

"About five hours!"

Finally, Lin Jie wrote down two more numbers, "9" and "10", and explained, "The two parts I am responsible for, the separation of brain functional areas will take nine hours, and the separation and reconstruction of the brain's blood vessels will take about ten hours."

"Adding the time each of you requires, this amounts to a total of forty-seven hours."

"Plus an extra two hours to handle minor issues, meaning this surgery will total forty-nine hours."

As he said this, Lin Jie wrote a large number "49" on the whiteboard.

He pointed to this number and said, "Forty-nine hours, two days and one more hour. No one can endure this length of time alone; it requires the sincere cooperation of all of you present."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Jie indicated Tian Xiangyu, who was sitting in the back, to get up and distribute documents to everyone.

"This is a document I prepared regarding each of your task allocations and time schedules. Please take a look, and if there are any issues, please raise them promptly."

Lin Jie continued, "Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, Dr. Lei, Dr. Guan, during the stages of the surgery you are responsible for, you may bring one assistant and one nurse with whom you are accustomed to working. Is that alright?"

Jiang Hao, Qi Xingfen, and the others all expressed there were no issues.

Lin Jie then addressed Director Liu of Pediatrics, "Please arrange for three rescue teams to work in shifts, ready at any time to handle any other emergencies that may occur during the surgery."

"No problem!" Director Liu agreed.

Lin Jie then spoke to Director Xing Yue of Anesthesiology, "Dr. Xing, please arrange for four senior anesthetists to rotate every six hours."

The over fifty-year-old Dr. Xing Yue stood up and said in a deep voice, "Dr. Lin, I will personally be involved in this surgery."

"Besides me, the other three anesthetists will definitely be the best in experience and technique from the Anesthesiology Department."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Thank you for your support!"

"Also, the circulating nurses and equipment nurses in the operating room need to rotate every six hours, arranged in four shifts."

"I also need the Physiotherapy Department to arrange for three skilled masseurs to be on standby in the operating room, divided into three shifts."

As he said this, Lin Jie once again looked at Cheng Xingguang and said, "Dean Cheng, I will need your coordination to arrange matters regarding the nurses and the masseurs from the Physiotherapy Department."

Cheng Xingguang nodded and said, "No problem, Dr. Lin, all your requests will be met!"

"Everyone..."

Lin Jie's gaze slowly swept over everyone in the office, and he said, "There is one week left until next Friday."

"I won't say much more. Please make sure to arrange your schedules properly and engage in this surgery with optimal mental and physical condition..."

After the meeting, Cheng Xingguang came to Lin Jie and remarked, "I roughly calculated that there are nearly fifty medical staff directly involved in this surgery."

"If you add the technical departments providing support, the equipment, medication, blood products management departments, as well as administrative logistics, there are over a hundred people involved."

"Expert Lin, this is the single surgery with the most participants during my tenure and the first in our hospital's history for separating conjoined craniopagus twins. Just thinking about it is very exciting."

Lin Jie sighed with a slightly heavy tone, "With so much manpower and resources invested, I hope we can have a good outcome."

Cheng Xingguang confidently said, "There will definitely be a good outcome."

"After all, you are Expert Lin, the miracle worker known to all. There's no surgery you can't complete or task you can't accomplish!"

Outsiders seem to have more confidence in me than I do myself.

Faced with this situation, Lin Jie could only smile helplessly, unable to explain.

He then called Tian Xiangyu over and instructed, "Divide Fang Huanru, Huo Guangheng, and everyone else into four shifts according to their available time to handle visiting reporters and answer professional questions."

"Also, help An Kexin deal with some logistical issues."

Tian Xiangyu nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry."

"Leave all the miscellaneous matters to us; we'll strive to avoid any mistakes!"

"I'm leaving it to you then. Keep an extra eye on things for me!"

Lin Jie realized his organizational and coordination skills were somewhat lacking.

He hoped the studio team could get into place soon so that he would just need to give a command for things to be handled.

With this coordination meeting, the surgery for separating the conjoined craniopagus twins officially began the countdown.

All individuals and departments involved started preparing intensively for this surgery, experiencing a mix of tension and excitement as if a major battle was about to begin.

After the meeting, Lin Jie once again went to Dwayne Johnson's hospital room.

As soon as he entered, Lin Jie saw Dwayne Johnson lying in bed, his half face covered with gauze, being fed wontons.

He smiled and said, "Seems like your appetite is good. I assume your post-operative recovery is much better than I thought it would be!"

Dwayne Johnson waved to let his assistant leave, trying to smile, but only ended up tugging at the wound on his right cheek, so he kept a stern face and softly said, "Dr. Lin, my good appetite is because of your country's cuisine, so delicious that it's irresistible."

He slowly raised his bandaged right arm and said, "More importantly, Dr. Lin, you made me feel genuinely surprised."

Dwayne Johnson explained, "I can feel the pain now; there are ten wounds on my body, and not one doesn't hurt."

He emphasized, "But I only feel the pain now."

"Before, when I rested at night, I felt pain, aches, discomfort, numbness, and tingling all over my body. I had to rely on medication to fall asleep."

"And now, I just feel the pain."

"Thank you, Dr. Lin! Coming here for your treatment was indeed an important and correct decision."

Lin Jie happily said, "It's our job to relieve patients from all sorts of physical discomforts."

After a simple checkup on Dwayne Johnson, he thoughtfully said, "Johnson, there's something I want to talk to you about!"

"Oh, Dr. Lin, please go ahead!"

Lin Jie straightforwardly said, "I have a friend who runs a film company and would like to meet you to see if there's any possibility for collaboration."

Dwayne Johnson thought for a moment and said, "No problem! China's film market is extremely large and has great potential. Perhaps in a few years, it will surpass the United States."

"I am also very interested in collaborating with Chinese film companies."

Lin Jie knew this was for his sake and said, "Thank you! I'll remind her to bring some unique and delicious Chinese cuisine..."

After leaving the ward, Lin Jie went to visit Yao Henan.

Then he returned to his office.

Not long after, Huo Guangheng came by.

"Teacher, to prevent them from having enough preparation time, we plan to go to the civil affairs department on Monday to register."

He also requested, "We will have a small ceremony, and we hope you can be our witness!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie immediately shook his head and refused without a second thought: "Don't think about having me as your witness. Being a witness for Xiao Ganghao and Zou Manqing was enough to make me regret it."

"Moreover, since your marriage is for a special purpose, you can handle it yourselves."

Huo Guangheng looked disappointed but did not continue to request. Instead, he said, "Teacher, if this marriage draws out the person behind it, and then Lulu and I don't separate and eventually become a true couple—"

"In that case, can we receive your blessing?"

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and softly said, "For true love, I am not stingy with my blessings..."
