Waiting outside the operating room, Zhu Junying, Xie Rubing, and others grew more anxious as time passed, suddenly hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps.

They saw Professor Ren, the head of the cardiothoracic department, and many others walking out from a security door next to them that only allowed hospital staff in.

"The surgery is about to finish, Expert Lin is inside doing the final touches!"

Ren Maoshi reassured Zhu Junying and the others, saying, "Don't worry, the surgery was very successful. We came over specially to welcome Expert Lin."

Zhu Junying was somewhat informed about the surgery and knew these people had been observing it.

Upon hearing this, he held Xie Rubing's hand, let out a long sigh of relief, turned around, and joined the many others watching the still tightly closed operating room doors.

The waiting time was not long, just about ten minutes, before Lin Jie came out of the operating room.

"The surgery went smoothly, but given that the child is very young, they need to be observed in the ICU for twenty-four hours before they can be moved to a regular ward, if all is well!"

"Thank you, Expert Lin, thank you!"

Zhu Junying and Xie Rubing hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Ren Maoshi waited for Lin Jie and the patient's family to finish talking, then came over and solemnly said, "On behalf of all my colleagues in the cardiothoracic department, I thank Expert Lin for his generosity and selflessness, and for his detailed guidance."

"Not to mention others, I myself have benefited greatly!"

Having observed the entire surgical process, Ren Maoshi at this moment sincerely admired Lin Jie.

This surgery not only showed him Lin Jie's precision, superior and practical surgical skills and exceptional surgical thinking once again, but also allowed him to know Lin Jie's caliber.

Lin Jie's explanations were as concise and efficient as his surgical movements, without an ounce of excess; it could be said it was all valuable insights.

Among them, he included many of his own unique insights, like many practical surgical tricks and experience handling complex problems.

Many people are very protective of such tricks and experiences, afraid others will secretly learn them, but Lin Jie laid it all out in this demonstration teaching.

Ren Maoshi sighed, "Expert Lin, this time, I truly admire you!"

After him, the department head and several esteemed leading surgeons in the cardiothoracic department also came over, personally expressing their gratitude to Lin Jie.

As seasoned professionals in the industry, they could easily discern who was perfunctory and who was sincerely, openly sharing knowledge and solving doubts.

They were genuinely appreciative and grateful for Lin Jie's demonstration teaching surgery.

Using fatigue as an excuse, Lin Jie diplomatically declined the cardiothoracic department's lunch invitation, changed his clothes, took a short rest, and then left the hospital by car.

After having lunch outside and giving Qin Gang a break, Lin Jie returned to his apartment alone, finding Lin Miao there as well!

He asked curiously, "Miaomiao, why are you at home, didn't you go to work this morning? Are you feeling unwell?"

Saying this, Lin Jie used the back of his hand to touch her forehead.

Lin Miao did not shy away, softly humming, "I specially came home to wait for you! Seeing you looking worn out, go to the room and change clothes, I'll give you a massage!"

Returning to the bedroom, Lin Jie found a massage bed already set up in the room.

Feeling indeed exhausted, he naturally welcomed such treatment.

Lin Jie quickly changed his clothes and lay down on the massage bed.

Under Lin Miao's expert massage techniques, he groaned in comfort, happily asking, "Miaomiao, why are you being so good today, so compliant?"

"It's Kexin who asked me to come back. She said you had surgery this morning, and you'd surely be very tired when coming home, so she asked me to wait for you and give you a good massage!"

Lin Miao said a bit gloomily, "Brother, is this what love is? So detailed and considerate, even more thoughtful than I am?"

"I suppose it is!"

Lin Jie thought and said, "Someday you'll meet someone who always keeps you in mind and takes care of you attentively."

Lin Miao grinned skeptically, "When Xiaoxiao and that guy were together, it was 'you are the sea and I am your wave', seemingly enviable, but didn't they break up in the end?"

She giggled and said, "I don't need a boyfriend, having an amazing brother who loves me is good enough!"

"Daydreaming!" Lin Jie muttered softly...

When he opened his eyes feeling reinvigorated, he found himself lying on the bed, and the time had reached around six in the evening.

Getting up and leaving the bedroom, Lin Jie heard Lin Miao talking with someone else, along with the sounds of teasing Lele.

Arriving at the staircase, he realized there were guests at home!

It was Zhang Daya, whom he hadn't seen for some time, along with Xiaoqi.

Nowadays, Xiaoqi had black and sleek hair and dressed in sneakers, jeans, and a shirt, looking youthful and appealing, giving off a very comfortable vibe.

Lin Jie looked at her and complimented, "This is how a girl should dress, very pretty!"

Xiaoqi smiled bashfully, saying, "Thank you! It seems first impressions are very important; I guess in your mind, I still haven't shaken off the racer girl image."

"Of course, Xiaoqi has been dressing ladylike for quite some time now!" Zhang Daya twisted her body and asked, "Dr. Lin, do you notice any changes in me?"

Lin Jie pretended to examine her and praised, "The change is quite noticeable, your skin has gotten paler, you've slimmed a bit, and your figure is more accentuated!"

Zhang Daya chuckled proudly and said, "My mom also says I've gotten much slimmer!"

They sat back down again.

Zhang Daya opened up, saying, "Dr. Lin, I work and study at Donghua Hospital on weekends, generally coming to the city Friday evening to stay with Xiaoqi!"

"I have something to tell you, so I brought Xiao Qi along to find you!"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Dean Tao told me that you've been doing well at Donghua Hospital. You're diligent and eager to learn, and many people like you. If there's anything you want to talk about, just speak."

"It's like this. You left the clinic, and Shanshan also went abroad to study, and the clinic has recruited two new doctors."

"After spending some time together, although I've had some minor disagreements with them, it's bearable."

"But..."

Zhang Daya grumbled, "The day before yesterday, that Dr. Deng suddenly told me I had to participate in rotations and could no longer have fixed weekends off. If I couldn't accept this condition, they would dismiss me."

"I quit out of anger."

She said pitifully, "Dr. Lin, I'm unemployed now, I don't have a job!"

Lin Jie asked curiously, "Does this Dr. Deng have the authority to dismiss you? What did Luo Shanshan say?"

Zhang Daya snorted and said, "This Dr. Deng was recently given full management authority over the clinic, so theoretically, he has the power to dismiss me."

She said somewhat sheepishly, "Well... I didn't bother Shanshan about this mainly because... mainly because I don't want to stay at the clinic anymore."

"Dr. Lin, you wouldn't know!"

She said indignantly, "There's something unclear between this Dr. Deng and Zhu Zhenzhen! Zhu Zhenzhen and I don't get along well now!"

"I suspect that Zhu Zhenzhen is behind this..."

"Hmph, such a tiny clinic, I'm not interested!"

Lin Jie just smiled.

Zhang Daya's internship at Donghua Hospital has raised her spirits quite a bit!

It's just that this Zhu Zhenzhen, has she severed ties with Yang Jinglong?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about this person, saying, "Daya, the job issue is easy to fix. Do you want to stay at Donghua Hospital, or do you want to switch places to the Affiliated Hospital?"

"Anlin Hospital will have to wait for a year or so before it opens!"

Zhang Daya thought for a moment and said, "I'm mainly focusing on internship training now, learning as much as I can!"

"At Donghua Hospital, I'm familiar with many people, which makes it convenient to ask questions. Plus, Xiao Qi's place is also closer to Donghua Hospital!"

"Dr. Lin, I'll stay at Donghua Hospital for now."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll mention this to Dean Tao!"

He then turned his attention to Xiao Qi and asked, "How do you feel about the new environment and job? Are you happy?"

"It's okay!" Xiao Qi replied blandly.

"Dr. Lin, I'll tell you that Xiao Qi is also about to go abroad!" Zhang Daya, quick to speak, said excitedly.

Xiao Qi smoothed her hair that was hanging in front of her forehead and said softly, "Wantong Group's real estate project in Binhai includes a five-star hotel that's already under construction."

"I and several colleagues have been chosen to be sent to Wantong's overseas hotels for internships, mainly to learn some hotel management knowledge."

Lin Jie said happily, "That's a good thing, work hard! Both you and Daya are still young, with plenty of room for growth!"

"Yeah, I'll work hard!"

Xiao Qi said somewhat regretfully, "I regret not studying properly before; I don't understand a lot of things now!"

"No matter when you start learning and striving for progress, it's never too late!" Lin Jie encouraged.

With Lin Jie's persuasion, they stayed for dinner.

Lin Jie also learned from Zhang Daya about some old acquaintances at Zhujia Port.

Zhu Ziwen and Wen Qin, the couple who constantly had issues, have become much closer since Wen Qin was found to be pregnant.

Zhu Qiang and Xu Ling are going to have their wedding on National Day.

The racetrack that Dahei and others operate has undergone some renovations and has become quite formal. Of course, they still hold some racing and gambling activities sporadically every week at night.

Since Xiao Qi left the racetrack, a new beauty has replaced her position, which is Monkey's junior, Su Xiaohui. Her racing skills are quite good, and she's won many competitions.

After dinner, Daya and Xiao Qi said goodbye, and Lin Jie and Lin Miao escorted them to the apartment building downstairs!

As they were about to part ways, the generally silent Xiao Qi suddenly said, "Daya, Miao Miao, I have something to say to Dr. Lin alone!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daya and Lin Miao exchanged glances between Lin Jie and Xiao Qi for a while before walking away a few steps.

The warm evening breeze blew, causing Xiao Qi's loose hair to flutter gently in the wind.

Under the bright streetlights, she silently gazed into Lin Jie's eyes...

Noticing that his gaze was somewhat uncomfortable, Xiao Qi offered a slightly bitter smile and said, "Actually... what I want to tell you is related to Anlin Hospital!"

"Related to Anlin Hospital? What is it?" Lin Jie asked with concern.

Xiao Qi spoke softly, "I found out by chance that Chairman Luo has a list!"

"This list should be of healthcare professionals Anlin Hospital is closely in contact with..."
