Today was the first time Lin Jie met Daniel Li, and the first impression he got was how tall this man was—at least six foot three.

He had slightly gray wavy short hair, a weathered and chiseled tan face, paired with a robust and lanky build cultivated through years of exercise, and he was at the age which showcased a man's mature charm—around forty.

All these combined made Lin Jie feel that this man was quite something, a charming middle-aged attractive uncle.

As Lin Jie had reminded her beforehand, An Kexin did not introduce Lin Jie to Daniel Li.

The three of them sat in the office's reception area, with the host and guests taking their seats.

Daniel Li first glanced at Lin Jie, then smiled warmly and said in slightly imperfect Mandarin, "Miss An, I need to be honest with you!"

"I have already received offers from both Limin Hospital and Tongren Hospital. Both are willing to offer a million US Dollars annual salary, plus a million RMB resettlement allowance, and provide a car and accommodation, inviting me to take the position of director!"

Sitting on the sofa, he leaned forward slightly towards An Kexin, staring at her and said, "The interview at Anlin Hospital left an extremely deep impression on me, mainly because of your beauty, Miss An, which I remember deeply..."

Hearing this, Lin Jie cursed inwardly, damn dog can't change its habit of eating shit!

Also, the way this person looked at An Kexin gave Lin Jie a lecherous feeling, and an unnamed fire surged up in his heart.

"As long as Anlin Hospital offers the same employment conditions, I am willing to..."

"Dr. Daniel Li!"

Lin Jie cut him off unapologetically, his tone cold, "Congratulations on receiving two offers, but I'm sorry to inform you that you... are no longer within the scope of consideration for the director position at Anlin Hospital!"

The smile on Daniel Li's face stiffened, then widened as he said, "Miss An, is he joking? Responsible decision-making should be done by you and Mr. An, right?"

"As a sign of my sincerity, if you feel my demands are a bit high, we can still discuss this further!"

An Kexin turned to look at Lin Jie, then stood up from the sofa, saying lightly, "Dr. Daniel Li, I'm sorry to inform you, he is not joking, you are indeed not within our scope of consideration."

"Thank you for visiting, please..."

Daniel Li's face suddenly darkened, he also stood up, saying, "Miss An, don't you need to reconsider? As far as I know, Limin Hospital and Tongren Hospital are your direct competitors."

"My extensive hospital management experience can help you quickly get your hospital on track and make it profitable in the shortest time."

"If I become the director of your competitors, hehe..."

An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie again and said with a faint smile, "Dr. Daniel Li, competition brings motivation! At Anlin Hospital, we never worry about competitors being too strong, only worry if they're a bit weak."

"With you going to help them, it's exactly what we want! Dr. Daniel Li, please!"

After several bids to see him off, Daniel Li's face couldn't hold it anymore, he snorted coldly and turned away directly!

After he left, An Kexin looked at Lin Jie with a smile, teasing, "Lin Jie, are you being jealous?"

Lin Jie snorted and said, "Jealous of what? I'm worried you'll be deceived! This guy is slick-tongued, lecherous, it's obvious he's not a good bird, you be careful of being scammed for your money and love!"

An Kexin laughed, saying, "Slick-tongued, huh?"

"Didn't seem like it, he's been living abroad, praising my beauty, isn't that straightforwardness a foreigner's nature? Do you think I'm not beautiful, not pretty, and he's lying to flatter me?"

"And as for the lecherous look you mentioned, what I saw was admiration!"

Lin Jie wished he could catch and spank An Kexin, saying in displeasure, "You wouldn't possibly have a good impression of a guy like him, would you?"

"Tall, handsome, well-kept physique, educated, capable..."

An Kexin showed an expression of being moved, reminiscing, "Although a bit older, he's got that mature man charm, overall, not impossible to consider!"

Lin Jie was so angry he almost fumed from all seven orifices, and a strong impulse arose in his heart.

He could no longer suppress it and was about to pounce on An Kexin, when she suddenly giggled, saying, "Just teasing you, look you're so angry your neck is red!"

An Kexin pulled Lin Jie's hand, made him sit back, saying, "Actually, even if you didn't speak up to refuse him, I was planning to reject him too!"

"Oh, has the background check on this person come out?" Lin Jie suppressed his impulse and asked.

An Kexin shook her head and said, "Not yet! But we have another source of information."

"A middle-tier manager from Limin Hospital, who has a good relationship with us, told us they have no plan to hire a director externally for the branch, they are preparing to select one from the two deputy directors to take over the branch director role."

"To verify this, father had someone probe briefly into Limin Hospital's chairman, confirming that manager's information."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "So, the previous Liu Guangxi..."

"He might be Daniel Li's mole, or it's a scheme by him and the Liu Family, or Limin Hospital, trying to get us to hire Daniel Li."

"Whatever their intention, as long as we don't hire Daniel Li, we won't fall for it!"

An Kexin said with a serious expression, "Previously, there was Hu Yitong who went to great lengths to prevent you from passing the assessment. And now this Daniel Li issue. The brutal business competition has long begun, it's a matter of everyone showing their great skills in their own unique ways."

Lin Jie said a bit speechlessly, "What kind of business competition is this, isn't it just intrigue?"

An Kexin chuckled and asked, "Then what do you think business competition is? A price war? A service battle?"

"Sending spies to gather intelligence, bribing internal staff to cause damage, spreading rumors, slandering maliciously, framing, even fighting, all kinds of unsavory and savory tactics, as long as they work to achieve what one desires, can all be considered business competition methods."

These words somewhat refreshed Lin Jie's knowledge.

He felt a stir in his heart, tentatively asking, "Sister Kexin, how many of these methods have you used before?"

An Kexin looked at Lin Jie with playful eyes, mysteriously saying, "Won't tell you! But I can give you a hint, don't make me angry in the future!"

"If you do, I have plenty of ways to mess with you!"

Lin Jie snorted, saying, "Do I dare to make you angry? Just your skills, I can't even beat you!"

Speaking of this, he was suddenly shocked, feeling a bit of fear!

He was just thinking of pouncing on An Kexin earlier, lucky he didn't put it into action, otherwise, the one in trouble would definitely be himself.

Lin Jie clearly remembers, An Kexin, with an over-the-shoulder throw, threw a man much heavier than herself several meters away.
