Lin Jie brought Ling Mengjiao to a small restaurant about a hundred meters east of the main entrance of the University Affiliated Hospital, with an operating area of about fifty to sixty square meters.

The restaurant's decor was quite high-end, but there were no private rooms.

At this time, it was the dining peak period, and the hall was almost full. Fortunately, Lin Jie had Qin Gang reserve a spot in advance.

Ling Mengjiao looked at the menu and immediately felt warm inside, saying, "Lin Jie, thank you for specifically inviting me to have hometown dishes."

Lin Jie chuckled softly, "Mainly because I've eaten here a few times, and the food tastes pretty good."

"I recommend their signature dishes, the crispy eel and tofu in the box are nice. As for how authentic they are, that's for you to judge."

Ling Mengjiao nodded gently and, without being polite, took charge of ordering meals for the two of them.

"Lin Jie, I know what you want to talk to me about this time!"

She poured Lin Jie a cup of tea and said softly, "The Anlin Charity Fund was jointly founded by you and President An. From its establishment until now, it's been just a year and two months."

"As of today, it has successfully helped two hundred and eleven people, which could also be said to have helped two hundred and eleven families."

"This achievement is nothing compared to large domestic charity organizations."

"But we are genuinely doing charity, with ninety percent of the charitable funds directly used for helping patients."

"I, along with the twenty-seven employees of the Anlin Charity Fund, and the dozen or so volunteers we often collaborate with, all feel proud and honored."

Ling Mengjiao looked at Lin Jie, gently exhaled, and said, "Lin Jie, the Anlin Charity Fund is a perfect child. I don't want to become a stain on it."

"Mengjiao, you're not a stain!"

Lin Jie said earnestly, "The development of the charity fund up to now is inseparable from your dedication and effort."

"Kexin and I, along with everyone in the charity fund, deeply recognize this."

"As for your past..."

Lin Jie hummed, "In this world, there's no perfect moral man or saint who has never made a mistake."

"Mengjiao, you don't need to worry about these things. Kexin and I will always support you."

Ling Mengjiao bit her lower lip, paused, and said, "Lin Jie, actually, actually, there's another reason!"

Lin Jie lightly responded, "Then tell me, what's the reason."

"If it's some difficulty, perhaps Kexin and I can help you solve it."

"It's just that this position... I... I'm almost unable to manage it, feeling extremely pressured."

After saying this, as if removing a heavy stone from her body, Ling Mengjiao felt a sense of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "Lin Jie, you might know my university major was Business English."

She said with some embarrassment, "After entering university, I relaxed a lot on my studies..."

"By the third year, because of that incident, I dropped out."

"The development pace of the Anlin Charity Fund is rapid, even under constant restraint."

"Once Anlin Hospital is officially operational, the number of patients assisted by the charity fund will increase significantly."

Lin Jie was aware of this.

Currently, the patients assisted by the Anlin Charity Fund are mainly arranged for treatment at the University Affiliated Hospital.

When Anlin Hospital opens, these patients will naturally be transferred there, ensuring resources stay within.

Just listen to Ling Mengjiao continue, "As the number of patients being treated increases, the charitable fund's workforce will also increase considerably."

She said with a troubled look, "Managing these dozens of people now already gives me a headache. If more people are added..."

Ling Mengjiao rubbed her temples, distressingly saying, "That's not even what I fear the most."

"My biggest fear is that with the charity fund's growing reputation, some social events..."

Saying this, she looked at Lin Jie with some grievance, saying very pitifully, "You never attend these networking events, Lin, and President An is busy and rarely attends either."

"Many times, I represent the charity fund at these events."

"Lin Jie, I have no background, insufficient knowledge, and talking with those entrepreneurs, well-known social figures, and celebrities makes me feel, I feel..."

"I feel completely out of place with them, and there's really nothing I can discuss. Whatever they talk about, I can't even join in."

"It's embarrassing, and embarrassing for the Anlin Charity Fund too!"

Saying this, Ling Mengjiao lowered her head in shame, muttering, "Lin Jie, now whenever I see invitations to parties, networking events, or seminars, I get such a headache..."

Lin Jie did not expect that the real reason Ling Mengjiao chose to leave the Anlin Charity Fund was this.

Insufficient personal ability, difficult to bear such a heavy burden.

However, upon second thought, he felt some relief.

According to his understanding, Ling Mengjiao was from a regular citizen family.

Her perspective and knowledge were presumably limited, and her social experience severely lacking.

Now, with Ling Mengjiao as the head of the Anlin Charity Fund, it's certainly a high-status position in society.

For her, it might feel like a step too far.

Ling Mengjiao is not like Lin Jie, who has exceptional medical skills to rely on. In any setting, others respect and praise him, and any deficiencies in aspects like conversation, etiquette, or knowledge are of no concern to others.

In essence, Ling Mengjiao is just a working girl.

At social events attended by seasoned socialites, perhaps just a few words from her could reveal her true background.

Actually, Lin Jie himself was also reluctant to attend such social events, one reason being a sense of timidity.

Thinking of this, Lin Jie sympathetically said, "It must be hard for you! If you insist, come and help me."

Ling Mengjiao suddenly looked up at Lin Jie, with a face full of joy, and asked, "Does that mean you agreed?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I agreed."

"The work at the studio should be relatively relaxing. In your free time, don't forget to study and enrich yourself."

"When you feel that your abilities are sufficient, you can return to the charity fund, or go to Anlin Hospital, or the group, wherever you like."

Ling Mengjiao patted her large chest and looked relieved, saying, "Lin Jie, thank you! I won't forget to study!"

"Finally, I can sleep soundly at night."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Lin Jie couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, then reminded, "Mengjiao, remember to brush up on your English. There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with foreigners in the future."

"When it comes to English, I feel pretty confident about it!" said Ling Mengjiao with great confidence.

Lin Jie wanted to remind her that medical English is very different from business English, but seeing her in such a good mood, smiling brightly, he held his tongue.

Let her completely relax and enjoy herself for a while.

At this moment, the dishes they ordered started to be served...

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of Binhai Grand Hotel, a family of four was also having dinner.

Luo Wantong took a small soup bowl, sipped some soup, and said to Luo Shanshan, who was eating quietly, "These days, both online and in newspapers, everyone's talking about that conjoined twins' separation surgery."

"Shanshan, how difficult is this surgery?"

Luo Shanshan put down her chopsticks, took a sip of green tea, and said, "Judging from the CT images of the conjoined twins released by the Affiliated Hospital, several medical experts have analyzed that the difficulty level is considered world-class."

"Do you think Lin Jie will be successful?"

Luo Shanshan was silent for a moment and said, "No brain surgeon in the world can guarantee success in a surgery of this difficulty."

"But, since Lin Jie is the lead surgeon, the chances of success are still quite high."

Luo Wantong sighed softly.

The success of one high-stakes surgery after another has filled people with confidence in Lin Jie. Even he had to admit, Lin Jie has become synonymous with success.

"Dad..."

Cai Yanhe dabbed her mouth with a napkin and said softly, "I suspect there is a marketing mastermind advising Lin Jie from behind the scenes."

"In the past year or so, every now and then, a news hotspot about Lin Jie pops up. This accumulation has given Lin Jie nationwide influence, and his reputation has even spread abroad."

She glanced at Luo Shanshan and continued, "In some time, perhaps when people think of doctors, they'll think of Lin Jie, and when they think of hospitals, they'll think of Anlin Hospital."

"Over time, Binhai will only have two hospitals: Anlin Hospital and other hospitals."

Luo Shanshan lightly snorted, "No matter how strong Lin Jie is, he's just one person. How many people can he save doing surgeries every day?"

"Phoenix Mountain Hospital's overall medical expertise is far above..."

"Can it crush them?"

Luo Wantong interrupted Luo Shanshan, asking, "Just like Lin Jie's medical skills can overwhelm all the doctors in Binhai, can the average skills of Phoenix Mountain Hospital's doctors overwhelm all other Anlin Hospital doctors except Lin Jie?"

Luo Shanshan pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said, "With the support of several shareholders, the An Family's investment in Anlin Hospital, although not as large as ours, is still significant."

"Plus, with Lin Jie's strong appeal, their medical resources have some gaps from ours."

"However, this gap..."

Luo Shanshan hesitated a little and stated truthfully, "is not too big..."

Luo Wantong coldly snorted and said, "The gap you mentioned isn't too big, but if you add Lin Jie's extra benefit, does that mean it's almost negligible? Perhaps even more so?"

"Is that the result of my investment of over ten billion against a measly two to three billion?"

Seeing Luo Wantong's face full of frost, Cai Yanhe added fuel to the fire with a light laugh, "Just as we only remember Gagarin being the first in space, Armstrong being the first on the moon..."

"In medicine, it's even more so."

"When seriously ill, a patient's first choice is definitely the doctor who can cure them with 100% certainty, not other famous doctors with only a seventy to eighty percent probability..."

Luo Wantong furrowed his brow and said discontentedly, "Yanhe, enough with the useless talk. Given the current situation, do you have any practical solutions?"

Cai Yanhe smiled gently and said, "Dad, aside from his exceptional medical skills, another thing everyone praises about Lin Jie is his reputation as the Child of Miracles. So far, he hasn't had a single patient failure."

"We can break his unbeaten aura first."

She said confidently, "As long as he fails once, his golden reputation will be shattered, he'll fall from his pedestal, and with a few more failures, he'll become a renowned doctor with merely high medical skills."

"No matter how famous, a renowned doctor is just a regular person. His appeal would then fall far below that of a Child of Miracles."

Cai Yanhe chuckled and said, "Dad, now is the opportunity..."
