Anlin Hospital is located in the northeast area of the Phoenix Mountain District, covering an area of about 50,000 square meters.

It is backed by a small hill of dozens of meters high, lush and well-covered with vegetation, with a babbling brook on its west side, and on the east and north sides, there are dilapidated asphalt roads.

At 10:38 a.m. on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after a ceremonial event, under the witness of family, friends, and partners, the six shareholders of Anlin Hospital, An Weize, Chen Shi, Lin Jie, Ye Hongqing, Xu Xingye, and a representative from the Fu Family in Binhai, each took a shovel tied with a red ribbon and symbolically shoveled some soil, depositing it on the marble foundation stone.

Amidst applause and the booming sound of ceremonial cannons, the foundation laying ceremony concluded successfully.

Lin Jie's shovel was taken by an etiquette lady.

He looked at the colorful flags fluttering around and the fifty or sixty guests in attendance, and remarked to An Kexin, who was walking over, "You invited so many people and made such a big scene, made me drive over two hours just to shovel this bit of soil. It feels like overkill, doesn't it?"

An Kexin gave Lin Jie a sideways glance and exclaimed, "And you have the nerve to say that, you almost came late."

Lin Jie smiled sheepishly and said, "It's my first time here, not familiar with the roads, and I was slowed down by a few big trucks hauling material... But in the end, I made it on time!"

Lin Jie looked at An Weize, who was happily chatting with the representative from the Fu Family, a middle-aged man in his forties, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Kexin, why did the Fu Family suddenly decide to invest?"

An Kexin shook her head and said, "I'm not sure of the specific reason either."

"At first, my father asked for the opinion of the Fu Family about investing, but they politely declined. Then on the sixth day of the New Year, the Fu Family suddenly approached us, saying they wanted to invest."

"After preliminary discussions, they invested thirty million, taking ten percent of the shares. It's not bad; they didn't ask for more shares, and with the Fu Family's backing, it'll be easier for the hospital to handle matters in the future."

Lin Jie glanced around the guests and didn't see Chen Fanzhi, asking, "Your cousin doesn't seem to be here?"

An Kexin sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "Although we funded a company and entrusted him to run it completely, he's essentially been kicked out."

"My cousin is holding a grudge and has been busy with the new company during this period to prove himself to us."

Lin Jie understood; if he were in that situation, he would also feel unwilling and dissatisfied.

At this moment, he saw Chen Shi walking towards him, and he immediately went forward alongside An Kexin to greet him.

"I just received some news. The eye transplant surgery that Wang Feizhang did on the sixth day failed." Chen Shi did not have a gloating expression but did not conceal the joy in his tone either.

"Lin Jie, give it to me straight, how confident are you about eye transplants?"

Lin Jie answered solemnly: "At most, twenty percent confident. You know how difficult eye transplants are."

Chen Shi exhaled a breath and nodded, saying: "For a surgery of such difficulty, a twenty percent chance is already quite remarkable. I estimate that Wang Feizhang had less than even a five percent chance."

He said indignantly, "I understand this guy; he's becoming more and more business-oriented, focused on profit. He's purely gambling, using this rare surgical opportunity to bet on a miracle."

"If he wins, his reputation skyrockets; if he loses, he doesn't lose much. It's just pitiful for the patient, who will have to live in darkness forever."

Taking the opportunity while Chen Shi was greeting others, Lin Jie pulled An Kexin aside, asking mysteriously, "Does your cousin have any entanglement with this Dr. Wang Feizhang's daughter?"

"You know about this too, huh?"

An Kexin lowered her voice and said, "My cousin and Dr. Wang's daughter were high school classmates and started dating in high school."

"But they were always on and off, quarreling and breaking up. During their second year of university, my cousin went abroad to study, and they completely broke up."

She added, "I'm not sure about the specifics. I guess my cousin might have wronged the girl somehow. This makes my uncle a little lacking in confidence when facing Dr. Wang."

Recalling the scene when Chen Shi met with Wang Feizhang, it seemed that Wang Feizhang was always in control while Chen Shi was on the defensive. Combining this with what An Kexin said, Lin Jie realized her guess might be correct.

At this moment, the guests were being ushered by the staff towards the buses.

An Kexin pulled Lin Jie's arm and said, "It's time to head back. I'm riding with you!"

"Are you sure you want to ride in my car?" Lin Jie reminded, "The road is in bad shape, quite bumpy; it's more comfortable to take the bus."

"If you're not afraid of the bumps, why should I be?"

After saying this, An Kexin frowned slightly and said, "Usually, the government develops first, fixing roads, providing electricity and water, and then attracting investments."

"But in the development of the Phoenix Mountain District this time, the enterprises took the lead, which is quite inconvenient."

"Fei Xue told me, getting electricity for the construction site is easy since the government specially laid a line, but it's a hassle for water and roads."

"Fortunately, there's a small brook, so water for construction isn't a problem. But drinking water for the workers has to be delivered by water trucks daily."

"And these roads…"

An Kexin said with a worried look, "The government has promised to start a major overhaul of the roads in this area in March, all being turned into primary urban traffic roads."

"At that time, with the road constructions everywhere, and various engineering vehicles and material trucks coming and going from different construction sites, it will probably be quite a headache."

This indeed is a major problem. Lin Jie had seen no less than six or seven construction sites on his way here, with scaffolding already in place, and work set to start any day now.

The car drove onto the bumpy asphalt road, and An Kexin said, "Don't rush back to the city yet, let me show you the other three hospitals' construction sites first."

Following the asphalt road, heading west for about four or five thousand meters, Lin Jie saw a temporary prefab housing area to the south of the road, with a dozen engineering vehicles leveling the land.

An Kexin introduced, "This is the Han Family's Tongren Hospital West Branch, covering about 100,000 square meters. The Han Family also has a villa project and a high-rise residential project launching simultaneously."

After passing this construction site and traveling about seven or eight thousand meters south along a dirt and gravel road, they saw a large construction site again.

"This is the branch of the Limin Hospital, covering about 70,000 square meters. Nearby, there's a real estate development project led by the Liu Family from the Capital City."

Turning east onto a smooth and wide main road and traveling about ten kilometers, Lin Jie saw a construction with three tower cranes standing amidst a small hillside.

Without needing An Kexin's introduction, Lin Jie knew this is the Phoenix Mountain Hospital.

"According to the information I obtained from the government, three new hospitals, eleven residential real estate projects, and six commercial real estate projects have been approved in the entire Phoenix Mountain District."

"The government also revealed that Henglong Real Estate and Wanda Real Estate are in talks with the government, preparing to build a commercial real estate complex."

"This place has already become a hotspot..."
