Morning, at 8:28!

Lin Jie stepped into the fifth-floor lecture hall of the Medical College, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote a big, somewhat ugly character "Brain" on the blackboard.

"Today, we begin our lecture on the mysterious human organ known as the 'Brain'!"

"It can be said that up to now..."

Turning around to see the classroom full of students, Lin Jie was momentarily stunned; he noticed a few unexpected familiar faces, like Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lan, Li Hetong, and others.

Nodding at them as a greeting, Lin Jie continued his lecture, "The brain can be described as, so far, the organ of the human body that mankind has only partially understood..."

He lectured on for an hour and a half, until 10 a.m., when he finally said, "Let's stop here for now; we'll take a 15-minute break!"

With this statement, the students hurriedly rushed out of the classroom.

A continuous hour and a half of intense mental activity had already made them dizzy, nearly suffocated, and they desperately needed to go outside to breathe some fresh air and clear their minds.

Lin Jie waited until Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lan, and Li Hetong approached him and warmly hugged them!

He noticed that Lu Kaicheng's energy was quite good, but Chen Lan looked a bit gloomy and listless.

"Lu Kaicheng, you seem to be doing quite well physically and mentally, isn't it a bit contrary to reason and ethics?"

Lin Jie joked, "Did Chen Lili find out about your romantic escapades in the United States? Were you kicked to the sofa to sleep last night?"

"Exactly, it's seriously unreasonable!"

Li Hetong chimed in, "With all the overdue assignments, you should be looking pale, trembling, and leaning against the wall by now."

Lu Kaicheng boasted, "What can I say, I'm naturally gifted and incredibly capable! To be honest, this time my Lili should still be tired and lying in bed, not yet awake."

"Go on boasting, it's not like you have to pay tax on it."

Lin Jie stopped joking and asked, "Honestly, all three of you are capable of performing brain surgeries now; how do you have time to attend my lecture? Aren't you worried about wasting time?"

Li Hetong chuckled and said, "Lin Jie, my mentor Qin Binglai is quite interested in your lecture content."

"He told me that your lecture content is extremely systematic and comprehensive. As long as your knowledge of the brain organ reaches at least half the level of what you've taught about the lungs, heart, and liver, it would definitely be highly beneficial for me."

"I'd say it surpasses that level by double. Just the content of this half-period is enough to take quite some time for me to thoroughly digest."

Chen Lan shook the recorder in his hand and added, "Ms. Qi Xingfen instructed me to make sure to record it well and not miss a single line from you."

"I also received a call from Director Jiang Hao to come over!" Lu Kaicheng said somewhat bashfully.

Lin Jie hadn't expected that his lecture content would have an impact beyond the college and be recognized by doctors at the director level, which gave him a slight sense of achievement.

The group walked out of the classroom and began walking leisurely towards the restroom!

"Chen Lan, have you been busy at work lately? You don't look too well!" Lin Jie casually asked.

Chen Lan gave a bitter smile, sighed, and said, "It's not work-related. I think I might be getting a divorce."

"Divorce?"

Li Hetong exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just get married before the Spring Festival? It's only been two months; did something happen that he's hiding from you?"

Chen Lan bitterly replied, "No! He had a craniotomy some time ago, and after recovery, his living habits changed."

"Most doctors have a bit of an obsession with hygiene."

"I'm especially particular about it. Before his surgery, he wasn't too bothered about cleanliness either, but it was still within my tolerance."

"After his recovery, he became particularly messy, and I couldn't help but criticize him. We'd end up arguing after a while. Sigh..."

Chen Lan lamented, "Isn't it funny? More than three years of love, beaten by a few small living habits!"

They were all brain surgeons and understood the reason behind the change in Chen Lan's husband's habits.

Li Hetong bluntly said, "If you can't get along, then just separate; don't force yourself."

"As a brain surgeon, doing a craniotomy alone is already exhausting. If you have to go home and be stressed, arguing over trivial things, such a marriage life would be better to live without."

Chen Lan nodded, "Yeah, we're both consulting a relationship counselor, making one last effort. If we still can't work it out, divorce is the only option."

On this subject, Lin Jie didn't have any better advice and could only remain silent.

After sorting it out, they gathered near the classroom door and chatted casually.

"Lin Jie, I have to thank you for your advice!"

Lu Kaicheng said excitedly, "Bribing foreigners with Chinese cuisine is the most effective method. During the three-month exchange, even though the foreigners didn't give me everything, they sincerely guided me quite a bit."

"I feel like I've gained a lot from the three months of study."

Seeing the spirited Lu Kaicheng, Lin Jie, Chen Lan, and others sincerely congratulated him.

"Hey, have you guys received calls from headhunting companies?" Li Hetong asked in a low voice!

Chen Lan lightly nodded!

Lu Kaicheng glanced at Lin Jie and also nodded, "I received their emails while I was in the United States. They told me that if I agree to switch jobs, they would pay for the breach of contract penalty for the service period."

"Lin Jie, do you think now is a good time to switch jobs?"

With his question, Li Hetong and Chen Lan also focused their attention on Lin Jie.

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "You could say that all three of you are key candidates for development in your respective hospitals, each receiving careful mentorship from your instructors."

"You are currently in a rapid growth phase. Although you can perform simple craniotomies, you are still quite a distance from being able to operate independently."

"Switching jobs may offer you higher income and better conditions, but can it ensure the current level of careful nurturing?"

"This is something you must clarify beforehand!"

Lin Jie paused and then added, "My opinion is that, at this stage, you should focus more on your own medical skills and experience growth, while compensation shouldn't be your first priority."

Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lan, and Li Hetong all nodded thoughtfully, no longer discussing this sensitive topic.

At noon, Lin Jie concluded the day's course.

He walked out of the teaching building with Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lan, Li Hetong, and others to have lunch together, when he saw Chen Shi approaching and saying, "Lin Jie, let's have lunch together; I have something to discuss with you!"
