Lin Jie was somewhat puzzled by An Kexin's words.

At first, he felt that there was some truth to what she said, but then he thought about Tao Taqing and considered him to be a decent person, not the type who would scheme against him.

Lin Jie also knew he wasn't very experienced, but he had some confidence in his sixth sense when it came to judging people.

He softly said, "Kexin, Dean Tao isn't that kind of person, right? Professor Chen has known him for years; wouldn't he be aware of his character? This project seems more like a win-win situation to me!"

An Kexin looked at Lin Jie with some frustration, patiently advising, "The surgical plan for this project was proposed by you, right? And you were the one who performed the surgery, correct?"

"What contribution did Tao Taqing make?"

"To put it bluntly, if you were to remove him or replace him with someone else, would it affect you performing the surgery? I would say not in the slightest."

She huffed a bit, saying, "I'm not saying that Tao Taqing is essentially a bad person; I just want to tell you that he definitely had ulterior motives and self-interest."

"Lin Jie, you might not realize this, but once this project's results are widely adopted, it will change many people's lives and bring in tens of millions or even billions in direct and indirect benefits."

Lin Jie thought An Kexin was being overly optimistic and said, "Kexin, the results of this project aren't so easy to promote. Transplanting muscle fibers, reconstructing the microvascular system, and the neural control system isn't something just any doctor can manage."

"To put it mildly..."

He said with immense confidence, "In the country, I'm likely the only one who can perform this surgery."

An Kexin suppressed the urge to lose her temper, patiently advising, "Before the first successful heart transplant, many people thought it was a fairy tale. But look at today, heart transplants are no longer considered highly complicated procedures."

"Lin Jie, you need to understand that medicine is continuously advancing and evolving!"

"Even if no doctor can reach your level right now, as long as you prove that this method is feasible and successful, countless doctors will follow the path you've paved, researching and practicing continuously."

An Kexin confidently stated, "In ten years, perhaps even just five, there will be doctors who can master and apply this method proficiently. Lin Jie, do you believe what I'm saying?"

"By that time, these successors will only remember and thank the project leaders, Tao Taqing and Chen Shi, but who will remember you, the one who made the largest contribution?"

After saying all this in one breath, An Kexin felt a bit parched, so she picked up her teacup and drank it all in one go. Still unsatisfied, she also picked up Lin Jie's teacup and drank it up too.

Seeing An Kexin's slightly anxious and indignant look, Lin Jie smiled.

He picked up the teapot, poured some tea, and softly said, "At the beginning of the year, Professor Chen talked to me about this, clearly stating that he and Dean Tao seek fame while I gain practical benefits!"

"Kexin, no matter how successful this project becomes, no matter how much honor, fame, and prestige it brings to Professor Chen and Dean Tao, in the years to come, my name will undoubtedly be the most shining one in the entire medical field."

"Kexin, do you believe I can achieve this?"

This was the first time Lin Jie frankly expressed his future ambitions!

Although he spoke softly and with a calm tone, An Kexin truly felt the inexplicable strong confidence in Lin Jie's words. She couldn't help but nod, saying, "Of course, I believe it!"

"Successful people will continue to achieve success! You have always created surprises and miracles, and surely, you will bring even greater surprises and miracles to the world in the future!"

Facing Lin Jie's broad vision, An Kexin felt a bit like "the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor," and said in frustration, "Even though they want fame and you want practical benefits, the reality is that the greatest benefits are also taken by Tao Taqing."

"Lin Jie, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Anlin Hospital, shouldn't you?"

She gently persuaded, "If, as soon as the hospital opens, we can have a nationally renowned research center with significant medical funding, it would greatly help elevate the hospital's reputation and attract high-level doctors."

Hearing this, Lin Jie finally understood An Kexin's intention; she was trying to secure more benefits for herself while also hoping for a share for Anlin Hospital.

Lin Jie also agreed with this idea.

After all, he was a shareholder of Anlin Hospital, and the hospital's name included his family name. If the hospital developed well, he would be a beneficiary too.

He smiled a bit embarrassedly and said, "Kexin, I should blame myself for not thinking long-term enough, always focusing on personal gains and forgetting that I'm also a shareholder of the hospital!"

An Kexin felt gratified seeing Lin Jie start to see the bigger picture and said, "It's not your fault; adapting to a change in identity takes time. Also, Anlin Hospital has just started construction, so it's understandable not to think of this."

She, with some resentment, complained, "Even my uncle didn't think of this point!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you share your ideas first on how Anlin Hospital can benefit from this project?"

An Kexin obviously had ideas in mind, her eyes brightening, "We need to specifically discuss the later-stage profit-sharing issue with Tao Taqing. You don't need to get involved; I'll represent you in the talks with him!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not up for having an open discussion about profits with Tao Taqing.

An Kexin then proposed another condition, "For the application research of the project results, the Sports Injury Recovery Research Center needs to be located at Anlin Hospital."

At this point, Lin Jie suddenly heard Shen Lanruo's laughter in his mind, "Lin Jie, your sister Kexin is quite savvy."

"Relatively speaking, athletes are a high-income, high-exposure group. With this research center, you can not only make money but also gain exposure, which is a win-win situation."

"Lin Jie, this woman has brains, looks, and a good figure, and she treats you well. I strongly suggest you pursue her!"

Lin Jie disregarded Shen Lanruo's nonsense and began discussing some specific details with An Kexin.

An Kexin also noticed that Lin Jie seemed a bit disinterested, and after confirming a few key details, she proactively ended the topic.

After a brief silence, she spoke again, "Xu Pingying's father's kidney transplant surgery ended around noon, and it was successful. Miaomiao put in a lot of work on this aid project, you should praise her more when you go home tonight."

Lin Jie smiled and asked, "I will! Sister Kexin, how is Miaomiao really doing at the company, just tell it like it is!"

An Kexin laughed, "It seems like you don't have much confidence in your sister? Miaomiao is actually doing quite well. She's diligent, starts with small tasks, asks when she doesn't understand, and learns what she doesn't know."

"In just over half a month, Miaomiao has made very significant progress. In a few months, she won't be inferior to any of her colleagues."

Hearing this praise, Lin Jie was naturally pleased and did not forget to express his gratitude, "This surely couldn't be achieved without your care, thank you!"

"Being so polite with me feels unnecessary. Miaomiao is your sister, and also my sister!"

An Kexin gave Lin Jie a flirtatious sidelong glance and then added, "That Yang Leyi is also quite impressive, especially in her ability to handle interpersonal matters. After some training, she'll be able to stand on her own."

"In the future, the foundation will surely hold fundraising dinners, receptions, and networking events, where Leyi's specialty will be of great use."

"Perhaps she will become, along with Ling Mengjiao, my right-hand woman!"

Lin Jie boasted, "Sister Kexin, don't forget, both of them have a significant connection to me, you could say I recommended them!"

"You're really quick to take credit."

An Kexin teased, then with a serious tone, she said, "I won't forget your contribution in recommending talents. Honestly, you still need to recommend at least twenty to thirty capable doctors to Anlin Hospital!"

Lin Jie immediately looked distressed and said, "Do you really think good doctors are like radishes in a vegetable patch, that I can just pluck one whenever I want? These things are rare and hard to come by!"

An Kexin chuckled and said, "It might be difficult for others, but for you, it's an easy task. You're like a strong magnet that unknowingly attracts them towards you."

She suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, what's up with that Daniel Li? I searched online last night and found no negative news or posts about him."

Lin Jie made up an excuse, "I saw the post over a year ago, maybe it's been deleted. Did your background check reveal any valuable information?"

"Not so fast! I asked someone to help with it, so it's hard to rush them. But something happened today related to Daniel Li."

Before Lin Jie could ask, An Kexin briefly recounted the situation about Liu Guangxi.

She said with some frustration, "The choice for Anlin Hospital's dean is really vexing. There are recommendations from friends and self-nominations, but after discussing with my father, none of them were satisfactory! Daniel Li, relatively speaking, seems to be a fitting choice."

"If someone snatches him up, finding another suitable candidate could take forever."

Lin Jie hurriedly advised, "Sister Kexin, the dean's position is crucial, don't rush to make a decision! No smoke without fire, Daniel Li might have issues! Just from his name, I get a bad feeling about him!"

An Kexin just smiled, teasingly retorting, "Are you into fortune-telling and character analysis now? His name is in English, not Chinese!"

Lin Jie earnestly said, "Let's call it intuition, I just feel like this Daniel Li isn't trustworthy. Besides, three-legged frogs are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged people. If someone snatches him, so be it."

"We have quite a bit of time, we'll surely find a dean who is familiar to us and suitable!"

An Kexin said with some frustration, "Actually, my father and I have an ideal candidate, but unfortunately he hasn't been swayed by our invitation yet!"
