Due to health reasons, Yu Momo was unable to participate in activities. After thanking Lin Jie, she politely declined the invitation to the gathering and left with her mother.

At around four in the afternoon, An Kexin arrived at the apartment first, carrying an elegant large handbag.

"Are you enjoying a rare leisurely half-day today? How come you're here so early?"

Lin Jie took her handbag and gave it a casual shake, hearing the sound of clinking, and asked curiously, "What's inside?"

An Kexin playfully scolded, "Don't shake it around. It's our swimsuits and some body lotions for after bathing."

She then seriously asked, "Lin Jie, did you mention the donation matter with the Fu Family?"

"I haven't brought it up yet, why?"

An Kexin said with some confusion, "Around two in the afternoon, I got a call from a vice president of Four Seas Bank, saying they would donate six million to the Anlin Charity Fund."

"This vice president also said that in the future, they'll donate varying amounts every year based on the fund's operations. You didn't mention it; could it be that they suddenly paid attention to our fund?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Even though I didn't mention it, I had someone remind them!"

Then he briefly explained about Yang Leyi's involvement.

An Kexin couldn't help but smile and said, "You sure have a lot of little tricks up your sleeve. These people are smart and naturally understand that Yang Leyi's visit was at your or my behest."

"However, your idea is indeed very effective. This is the largest donation we've ever received."

She asked with concern, "Hey, how's the recovery of that diving champion?"

"The recovery is going relatively well, but the final surgery results will have to wait for about another half month to be determined."

"You've never made a mistake, and this time won't be any different!" An Kexin scanned the living room and softly asked, "Where's your sister's assistant?"

Lin Jie replied, "The chef we hired, along with the barbecue equipment, ingredients, and drinks, has arrived. Xiaoxiao is on the rooftop with them preparing."

An Kexin let out an "Oh," then stretched out on the sofa, letting out a comfortable sigh, and said, "Lin Jie, perhaps many people still don't know you well, and many requests end up with my father and me."

Lin Jie casually asked, "Oh, what kind of ailments are they?"

"None of them are particularly serious ailments!"

An Kexin sighed and said, "People in our country revere authority too much. For minor ailments like fevers and colds, they wish to consult a top expert for a diagnosis."

"My father and I declined these requests. Firstly, it's to maintain your status, and also it's not to waste your valuable time."

"Your energy should be used like a gift in a time of need, to save lives that are in immediate danger, not wasted on minor illnesses."

Lin Jie sat across from An Kexin and said, "But the reality is, there are many who want to add to the good things, and few who assist in dire times!"

Over the next hour, guests such as Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lili, Yao Siyuan, Chen Lan, An Kemeng, and Chen Qiuhua arrived one after another.

The last to arrive was Chen Qiuhua, who surveyed those in the living room and asked, "Lin Jie, did you invite your students?"

"No, if they have the leisure to attend this gathering, it would mean I failed in my duties!" Lin Jie huffed.

Chen Qiuhua shook his head and said sympathetically, "Lin Jie, don't be too harsh on them, don't squeeze them too much. They're great prospects, after all. They deserve some time to relax and unwind."

"They're all adults now; they'll find ways to adjust themselves. If they really can't handle it, they can choose to leave. Now, I even feel there are too many people!"

Having said this irresponsibly, Lin Jie got up and said, "Let's go to the rooftop; things should be ready up there!"

Seeing everyone stand up, Chen Lili softly asked, "Aren't we going to change into swimsuits before going up?"

"No need, there are small cabins for changing and rinsing up there!" Lin Jie explained.

Although it was mid-May and the weather was a bit hot, swimming at this time still felt a bit chilly.

Fortunately, the rooftop pool had a heating system, and the water had been preheated.

After changing into their swimsuits, they jumped into the water, enveloped by the warm water, feeling very comfortable, almost like soaking in a hot spring.

It must be said, An Kexin, Chen Lili, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Chen Lan, and An Kemeng all had quite good figures; though different in size and shape, they were all well-proportioned, with no excess belly fat, very pleasing to the eye.

Relatively speaking, An Kexin, in her one-piece swimsuit, was even more voluptuous, which made Lin Jie secretly feel quite pleased.

After swimming a few laps, they sat on the shallow steps of the pool, half their bodies soaked in water, enjoying grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, and sipping beer and soft drinks, feeling very content.

"Have you all heard about what's happening at Tongren Hospital?"

After eating a grilled oyster, Chen Qiuhua saw the others looking at him and began explaining, "The police uncovered a fraud ring at Tongren Hospital posing as experimental therapies."

"Besides the police, the city's health department also sent a task force into the hospital to conduct an investigation, and several doctors have already been implicated."

Yao Siyuan asked with great interest, "I've heard a bit too; Donghua Hospital launched a self-examination. Dr. Chen, what's really going on?"

Chen Qiuhua sighed and said, "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, just that this group of fraudsters is quite formidable."

"At first, a few people faked their identities and credentials to get hired as doctors and nurses at the hospital."

"After getting familiar with their colleagues, they forged some approval documents and fabricated a large-scale experimental therapy collaboration with a renowned medical research center, deceiving some doctors."

"They used the lure of project funding and service fees to get these doctors to help bring in patients..."

With a somber expression, Chen Qiuhua said, "Preliminary investigations suggest that these people have conned over a hundred people using patients' trust in doctors and their survival instincts, involving nearly ten million in funds."

"Conning patients out of their life-saving money, these people deserve to be punished severely!"

Furious, Chen Lili blurted, "Is the management at Tongren Hospital just sitting around eating shit? Didn't they notice anything?"

Chen Qiuhua forced a smile and said, "After all the personnel changes when Han Xue took over, Tongren Hospital encountered some financial issues."

"In addition, several hospitals under construction in the Phoenix Mountain District are offering big checks to poach staff, causing unrest and management loopholes, giving wrongdoers an opportunity."

"Regardless of the outcome, Tongren Hospital is bound to undergo significant upheavals!"

Chen Qiuhua continued, "For Han Xue, this might not be a bad thing. Sometimes you need destruction to create anew, she might seize this chance to clean house and assume the director's position."

"After all, Tongren Hospital still has its foundation and reputation accumulated over many years."

At this moment, Lin Jie felt an itch on his chest and looked down, noticing a slender, fair finger touching the scar on his chest.

Lin Jie wiggled and said, "Kemeng, don't move around, it tickles!"

An Kemeng giggled and said, "Brother Jie, this scar looks like an earthworm, I can't help but want to touch it when I see it."

Saying this, she patted Lin Jie's chest and said, "I need to thank the owner of this heart; without him, there wouldn't be the current Brother Jie."

"Brother Jie, I've decided that if anything happens to me in the future, I want to donate my useful organs like the owner of this heart, to save more lives."

Sensing the sincerity, Lin Jie replied, "Thank you, Kemeng, that's very noble of you!"

"Speaking of body and organ donation..."

Chen Qiuhua chimed in, "There's an average of only three to four hundred heart donations for transplants in our country each year, whereas there are four to five thousand heart failure patients in need of a transplant."

"This work of organ donation publicity is a heavy task ahead!"

Suddenly, Chen Lili spoke up, "I've heard rumors that attention should be paid because some children and mentally challenged individuals are being taken and used for black market organ sales."

Chen Qiuhua suddenly said, "Where there is light, there is darkness. Black market organ trade does exist."

"I am aware that while this practice is not so familiar here domestically, it has become a well-established market abroad. If you can pay the price, there's no organ you can't buy."

With that, Chen Qiuhua looked at Lin Jie and smiled, "Lin Jie, you should ask more about this issue!"
