Handing the examination documents back to Jiang Hao, Lin Jie glanced over the hopeful young woman and the people around her, and said bluntly, "The injury to the patient's brain is too severe; there is no need for surgical treatment."
"Even if there is a stroke of luck and surgery saves him, he will either be in a vegetative state or completely paralyzed and foolish. It's meaningless."
The young woman, with a sob in her voice, pleaded, "Expert Lin, how much time have you actually spent on this? Was it even a full minute?"
"Please take some more time to study these documents; surely you will find a better way to treat him, right?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Time has nothing to do with it."
"Even if I studied it for a whole day, my conclusion would be the same."
"These examination results clearly indicate that some critical functional areas of the patient's brain have sustained irreversible damage."
"Even if, by some miracle, he survives the treatment, based on his condition, it would be a painful torment for both him and you."
The young woman suddenly shouted excitedly, "Who decides if it's a painful torment or meaningless?"
"That's not your decision to make; it's ours."
"As long as my son is alive and breathing, it has meaning."
"Expert Lin, what you need to do is ensure my son survives."
"Isn't it just about money for you?"
The young woman took out a card from her pocket and shouted, "There's a million in this card, Expert Lin. As long as you save my son, all this money is yours, it's all yours!"
"Expert Lin, I beg you, please, please let my son survive, survive…"
Facing the tear-stricken young woman, Expert Lin shook his head again and turned to leave.
Seeing Lin Jie leave, the young woman stretched out her left hand, grasping at the air in the direction of Lin Jie's back from a few meters away.
Looking at her empty left hand and watching Lin Jie disappear from sight, the young woman suddenly went limp, slumping to the ground, crying out, "What kind of medical genius, what kind of Child of Miracles, can't even save my son."
"Nonsense… it's all nonsense…"
"My son…"
Seeing her heartbroken and helpless state, the bystanders felt a shared sense of sorrow.
The individuals streaming live also turned off their streams.
They had all heard Lin Jie's words clearly.
Rationally, they all agreed that giving up was the right choice.
However, they also understood that this was an outsider's perspective; it's easy to speak without pain, and if they were in the young woman's position, the decision to give up wouldn't be easy at all…
Cheng Xingguang, seeing the people who appeared to be her family members advising the crying young woman, breathed a sigh of relief.
He instructed Director Tang, who was in charge of handling doctor-patient relations, to keep an eye on the situation, and then called the bespectacled young man, Xiao Jiang, who was holding a laptop, to a quiet place.
"How's the feedback online? Is it positive or negative?"
"Good, most of it is turning positive!"
Xiao Jiang, with his laptop in hand, cycled through webpages, displaying them to Cheng Xingguang, explaining, "Ever since Expert Lin's choice of a valuable patient during the broadcast, many people started speaking up for him."
"Expert Lin is quite the online celebrity."
"Many of his deeds have been published online before, and many facts can be easily searched by netizens."
"Under these verified facts, a large number of netizens have changed their tune, siding with Expert Lin."
"They even praise Expert Lin for dedicating his limited life to the infinite medical career…"
Xiao Jiang quickly scrolled through the comments, saying with a smile, "Expert Lin's suggestion to abandon treatment has also garnered support from the majority of netizens!"
"They all agree that this is a wise choice, that short pain is better than long pain…"
Hearing this, Cheng Xingguang was completely relieved, patted Xiao Jiang on the shoulder, and said, "Keep a close watch on online developments; report any unusual news promptly."
"Also, there will be more live broadcasts and reporters tomorrow, ensure smooth internet and communication…"
Lin Jie, just back in the office, surprisingly received a call from Ye Peihua.
"A subordinate just reported to me that you encountered a bit of trouble. Is there anything you need my help with?"
Lin Jie politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, just a minor trouble that has been resolved."
"I knew that such a small issue wouldn't trouble you. However, if there's anything you do need my help with, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Definitely, I'm not one to stand on ceremony."
"But, Mr. Ye, I have to remind you, if I really come to you for help, it definitely won't be something small."
Over the phone, Ye Peihua's hearty laughter could be heard as he confidently said, "I don't bother with small matters."
"Expert Lin, there's something I need to tell you."
"The head coach for the Guohua team has been selected. He is from Italy and has coached strong teams in the top five leagues. We will hold a news conference tomorrow in Capital City."
"At that time, Anders, Els, and Enoch will also appear on stage."
"After months of recovery and rigorous training, they are now ready to play in matches."
Ye Peihua said boldly, "Expert Lin, at tomorrow's news conference, we will announce that our goal is just the top six, but in my heart, the goal is the championship, always the championship."
Lin Jie wished, "Then I wish the Guohua team to forge ahead and achieve first place."
Ye Peihua laughed heartily, "If we really win the championship this season, Expert Lin, you will have the primary credit. I promise, when the time comes, there will be a share of the championship bonus for you, and it will be the largest share."
"The Guohua team will definitely win the championship this season!" Lin Jie said confidently.
"Thanks for your kind words!"
Over the phone, Ye Peihua's regretful voice came again, "I was thinking of inviting you, Expert Lin, to join tomorrow's news conference, but unfortunately, you have a major surgery tomorrow."
"I also wish, Expert Lin, that the surgery you are leading goes smoothly..."
As Lin Jie hung up the phone, he heard a gentle knock on the door.
After his "come in," a young woman wearing a professional little suit and holding a thin down jacket walked in.
"Boss, hello!"
Hearing this novel form of address, Lin Jie looked at the familiar person in front of him, the woman with hemophobia, and realized, "Did you finally get accepted by my studio?"
The young woman nodded vigorously and said, "I also want to thank you, Boss, for your recommendation, which gave me such a good opportunity. Since I haven't graduated yet, I can only work at the studio as an intern."
Lin Jie, a bit unaccustomed to being called "Boss," corrected, "You don't need to call me Boss, just call me Dr. Lin."
She responded with an "oh" and continued to explain, "Dr. Lin, I was initially in the onboarding training period. President Ling thought you would have many things these days, so she sent me here first to take instructions from you."
Lin Jie thought for a moment, said, "You... you..."
Suddenly realizing something, he asked, "What's your name?"
The young woman was momentarily stunned, and then her face flushed with embarrassment as she apologized, "Sorry, sorry, that was my oversight, a big oversight. I should have introduced myself earlier."
"Dr. Lin, my name is Jian Jia, a fresh graduate in Clinical Medicine."
Lin Jie chuckled, "Jian Jia, quite a nice name!"
"First, go find my student, Tian Xiangyu; he is somewhat short-handed."
"Follow him for the next few days. You can learn from him about my work habits and any other information you wish to know."
After sending Jian Jia away, Lin Jie made a call to An Kexin and Lin Miao each.
He informed them about the resolved situation to ease their concerns.
During the call with An Kexin, Lin Jie also received some good news.
The studio took advantage of the buzz to post a few advertisements on several live-stream videos and forums, promoting Lin Jie's Weibo and WeChat public accounts.
In just over an hour, the number of followers exceeded fifty thousand and was still rapidly increasing.
Currently, Ling Mengjiao, along with the new editors and designers at the studio, was busy compiling Lin Jie's important events to give more people detailed insights into his extraordinary life experiences and remarkable achievements.
At ten in the morning, Lin Jie walked into the small conference room on this floor once again.
He saw Cheng Xingguang, Jiang Hao, Qi Xingfen, Lei Jun, Guan Yifan, and a dozen others already seated, each with solemn expressions.
Lin Jie chuckled, "Tomorrow, the surgery officially begins. Consider this our pre-battle mobilization meeting."
"However, I see everyone looking expressionless; is it because you're uncertain or too nervous?"
Jiang Hao's tense face suddenly broke into a smile, "Nervous, yes, a bit, but mainly excited. This is the first time I've experienced such a grand multi-person collaborative surgery."
"As for certainty, I can't say a hundred percent, but we've prepared for so long and received your meticulous guidance, Expert Lin, six or seven tenths of certainty is there."
Lei Jun echoed, "Expert Lin, all of us here are experienced old doctors who have grown somewhat weary of our respective surgeries."
"But this surgery has reawakened a sense of excitement and anticipation for us."
Seeing the eagerness on everyone's faces, Lin Jie was quite pleased and said, "The longer you work, the more you need to maintain this excitement and anticipation."
"I can say, once you lose the excitement and anticipation for work, you also lose the possibility of further improvement."
"Alright, I won't say any more unnecessary words."
"Since there's still time, if anyone has any questions or uncertainties, please speak up..."
