Zhu Junying and others came over indeed to deliver gifts.

Besides a bottle of repackaged red wine, they also brought a tin of pre-Qingming Longjing tea, a tie, and a pen.

Zhu Junying spoke very well, saying this was a special token of appreciation, as Lin Jie had helped them see through the nature of the scammer, avoiding potential major losses.

Lin Jie noticed that Zhu Yunlan was a bit downcast, clearly forcing herself to come.

To cooperate with Zhu Junying, she also said a few words of thanks.

Lin Jie naturally understood their ultimate purpose, and to ease their worries, he declined a few times before accepting the gifts.

After Zhu Junying and the others left, Lin Jie didn't forget to use this opportunity to caution Lin Miao, warning her to be careful not to be deceived by those with ulterior motives.

"Oh, brother, I will definitely be very careful!"

Lin Miao brushed it off casually and then asked with great interest, "Brother, how do you plan to give the diamond ring to Kexin? Will you hide it in a cake or food, or hold a very romantic ceremony?"

"If it's hidden in food and accidentally breaks a tooth, that wouldn't be good!"

Thinking of so-called romantic ceremonies, Lin Jie felt goosebumps and shook his head, saying, "Simplicity is the key, I'll just give it to her directly."

"I've never been someone who understands or practices romance."

He preemptively said, "If this time I make a big deal out of it, in the future, when we get married and have various anniversaries, it will make things difficult if Kexin's expectations are set too high."

Lin Miao puffed out her cheeks, stared at Lin Jie for a moment, and then said slowly, "Brother, I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Kexin."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes at her, refusing to pay any attention.

By nearly eleven o'clock the following morning, Dong Yanli delivered the diamond ring and diamond pendant, along with the final price.

Lin Jie received a VIP discount, with the diamond ring and pendant priced at 1.5 million and 420,000 respectively, saving him over ten thousand from the previous quote.

Lin Jie examined the diamond ring in his hand but remembered Lin Miao's suggestion from last night.

For a woman, perhaps there is only one chance in a lifetime to be given a diamond ring. Simply giving it directly into her hand might really not be so good.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Lin Jie pondered on finding a simple yet unique way.

His gaze fell on the fruit platter on the coffee table, and gradually an idea formed.

An Kexin quite likes eating lychees!

He went to the fruit market to buy some fresh lychees with leaves.

After returning home, Lin Jie carefully selected a bunch of five or six large and round lychees, took them to his study, and brought out a set of fine surgical tools.

Lin Jie picked the largest lychee, cut along the outer skin with a scalpel, neatly dividing the lychee shell in half, and peeled off the translucent white flesh.

He cut open the top of the flesh carefully removing the seed and some flesh, and then thoughtfully placed the diamond ring inside.

After closing up the incision in the flesh, Lin Jie examined the lychee in his hand!

Through the translucent flesh, the shape of the diamond ring was faintly visible, and if not looking closely, it was hard to see the incision, as if the diamond ring had grown inside the flesh.

Lin Jie was very satisfied.

In this case, with a bit of attention, an anomaly would be noticed, preventing someone from accidentally putting the flesh in their mouth.

Lin Jie carefully put the flesh back inside the lychee shell, then delicately glued it back together with biological glue.

A minute or two later, the lychee was restored to its intact original state...

After one in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoxiao returned to the apartment first and brought two guests with her.

Lin Jie scrutinized one of them, with a plain face, sunken cheeks, somewhat depressed eyes, yet it couldn't hide the joy on her face and the innate charm.

Lin Jie probed, "Cui... Shanshan, your health... the surgery..."

The guest was none other than his cousin Wei Xin, and the one who wished to undergo gender reassignment surgery, Cui Shanshan.

Cui Shanshan covered her mouth, chuckled, and said, "Expert Lin, the surgery hasn't been done yet. But, once my health has recuperated a bit more, it can be performed!"

Recalling his previous advice, Lin Jie lowered his gaze and asked, "Did you really do that?"

Cui Shanshan twisted her body, whined, "Expert Lin, your gaze is very rude!"

"The last plan didn't happen, but..."

He said cheerfully, "My parents finally agreed."

Wei Xin chimed in, "Lin Jie, here's what happened..."

After listening intently to Wei Xin's explanation, Lin Jie looked at Cui Shanshan with mixed feelings!

The suggestion he gave last time, Cui Shanshan genuinely wanted to carry out!

It was unexpected that his parents were always closely monitoring him, even installing spyware on his phone and computer.

At the final moment before the plan was to be executed, his parents suddenly appeared and stopped him.

Afterward, feeling somewhat hopeless, Cui Shanshan expressed her determination by going on a hunger strike towards her parents...

This struggle lasted quite some time, and when her parents saw that Cui Shanshan had become skin and bones yet persisted, they finally relented and tearfully agreed to her request.

Wei Xin sighed and continued, "This guy fasted for quite a while, harming his health, and it took quite some time to recover to his current condition."

"We've come this time to ask you, the big expert, for another favor!"

At this moment, Lin Jie's feelings were a bit complicated. He didn't know whether to sympathize with Cui Shanshan's parents or with Cui Shanshan herself.

Hearing "favor," he frowned and asked, "What favor? He already got his parents' permission, and once his body recovers a bit more, the operation can be done. Everything seems to be going smoothly!"

"Voice, I want a pleasant female voice!"

Cui Shanshan pleaded eagerly, "I've been following your news all along. Many people on the internet believe that Xiaoxiao's voice was restored by you."

"Expert Lin, please help me! I want to be a perfect woman; my voice..."

"Expert Lin, I'm begging you!"

"A-Jie..."

The silent Zhang Xiaoxiao slowly spoke, "They've told me in detail about this person's situation! Honestly, I'm not very supportive of this kind of gender transition behavior."

"However, from a medical viewpoint, since such surgeries exist, they have their justification for existence."

"A-Jie, just approach it from a doctor's standpoint, without considering your relationship with the Wei Family. If you can take on this surgery, then go ahead and do it!"

This statement from purely a doctor's standpoint awakened Lin Jie!

Matters beyond treating illness and surgery are not something a doctor like him should judge.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you want me to do the voice change surgery, then the entire gender transition surgery must also be done by me."

"Since I'm taking it on, I'll take all of it."

Gender transition surgery is indeed considered a relatively complex major surgery. Lin Jie felt it was necessary to do it personally once to enrich his practical experience.

After all, receiving knowledge from the memories of Shen Lanruo and performing it personally are different experiences.

Wei Xin and Cui Shanshan asked in unison, "Can you really do this surgery?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes slightly and glanced at them sideways, humming displeasedly, "Drop the doubtful tone! Surgery is a matter of life and death. I wouldn't joke about such matters."

Wei Xin and Cui Shanshan exchanged a glance and fell into silence!

Cui Shanshan bit her lip and slowly said, "Expert Lin is a specially appointed surgical expert at the Affiliated Hospital. Your publicly performed thoracoabdominal aortic replacement and the surgery on Youyou's brain tumor were both extremely difficult surgeries and all were successful."

"And those rumored high-difficulty surgeries online..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually became firm, and a smile spread across her face, "A renowned doctor like Expert Lin naturally wouldn't joke with their reputation."

"Expert Lin, I'll leave my gender transition surgery to you!"

Wei Xin opened his mouth, looked at Lin Jie and then at Cui Shanshan, but ultimately didn't speak!

Seeing Cui Shanshan make a decision, Lin Jie immediately performed a preliminary physical examination on him!

After this examination, Lin Jie shook his head directly and said, "Your current physical condition is too poor."

"Gender transition surgery isn't just one surgery; it involves procedures on the Adam's apple and vocal cords, breast augmentation, and ultimately neovaginoplasty. If you have further requests, facial cosmetic surgery can also be done."

"Undergoing these surgeries consecutively places a significant burden on the body."

He waved his hand and said, "Go home and improve your physical condition first, then we'll talk about the surgery."

Cui Shanshan said energetically, "Expert Lin, I understand what you mean!"

"Once I return, I'll definitely eat more, drink more, exercise more, and quickly restore my body to its optimal state."

After sending Wei Xin and Cui Shanshan off, Zhang Xiaoxiao, shaking her head in amazement, remembered something and said, "A-Jie, the Affiliated Hospital contacted me and said that Youyou is being discharged tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, Xiaoxiao will be present. The hospital hopes that you as the chief surgeon can also be there."

"Youyou hasn't been discharged yet?" Lin Jie asked in some confusion.

Zhang Xiaoxiao just laughed and asked, "Really, I can't believe you! Youyou is your patient, and you don't even know if she's been discharged?"

Lin Jie chuckled and explained, "My job was to perform the surgery and remove Youyou's brain tumor. Her subsequent rehabilitation treatment is the responsibility of others."

"No one has come to find me, indicating that Youyou is recovering well and no longer needs my intervention."

"The fact that I know nothing about her follow-up situation signifies everything is normal, which is a good thing."

In fact, the reason he doesn't concern himself with the patient's follow-up is mainly due to advice from Shen Lanruo, to avoid having excessive interaction with his patients.

With Lin Jie's capabilities, the patients he will handle in the future will inevitably be high-risk and critically ill individuals.

Humans are emotional creatures; with more interactions, emotions will inevitably develop.

If a patient can't make it through, emotionally strong yet fragile Lin Jie, as a rapidly trained doctor, without enduring the desensitization of hospital experiences, might be plagued by inexplicable conflicts.

This might be Lin Jie's biggest weakness as a doctor.

Shen Lanruo simply suggested that he position himself as a surgical doctor. After solving the patient's major issues through surgery, he would leave all subsequent matters to others to handle.

Moreover, as a specially appointed expert, Lin Jie doesn't need to follow up and take full responsibility for patients all the way through.

As the afternoon unfolded, guests attending the gathering began to arrive one after another!

At 6:15 PM, the usual Wednesday gourmet tasting gathering officially commenced!
