On Wednesday, Lin Jie arrived early at the Medical College's laboratory building.

In order to show support and importance to Lin Jie's project, the Medical College specially set up a standard cranial operation room on the secluded top floor of the laboratory building, along with a teaching laboratory, an intensive care unit, and two wards for the project team to use.

When Lin Jie arrived, all the students had already gathered, neatly dressed in sterile surgical gowns, ready in advance.

"Reporting to the teacher, Experiment No. 1 Monkey, aged three and a half, weighs 9.3 kilograms..."

The person responsible for observing and taking care of the No. 1 Monkey, Guo Peng, with a loud voice, detailed the physical and physiological indicators of the surgical subject, concluding by saying, "Teacher, No. 1 Monkey is healthy, all indices are normal, it can undergo surgery today."

Lin Jie nodded slightly, indicating the other's good work.

At this moment, Tian Xiangyu spoke, "Teacher, the surgical instruments, various medications, disposable supplies needed for today's surgery, and emergency handling plan are all ready."

Lin Jie neither confirmed nor denied, turning his gaze to Fang Huanru, saying, "With your group, while I go prepare for the surgery, check Tian Xiangyu's group's pre-surgery readiness."

"If any issues are found, your group will take on the assistant role in this surgery."

Fang Huanru didn't speak either, simply waved her hand, and Song Licheng, Yan Beichen, He Yimin, Wei Hongyang followed behind her, running into the operation room.

Lin Jie had divided them into three surgical groups, led by Tian Xiangyu, Fang Huanru, and Xiao Ganghao, taking turns to act as his surgical assistants, responsible for meticulous and auxiliary preparations before, during, and after surgery.

As Lin Jie entered the preparation room to undergo the necessary surgical preparation work, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, and Guo Peng moved closer to Tian Xiangyu.

"Senior Brother Tian, you're in charge of this inspection, there shouldn't be any issues, right?"

"We've been taking care of No. 1 Monkey for ten days. If I can't personally assist the teacher in operating on it, my mood..."

Tian Xiangyu snorted, saying, "You guys need not worry; the reason Mr. Lin let me be the team leader of the first group is precisely because of my rich experience."

"I've participated in more than a hundred surgeries, with twenty-seven as the chief surgeon."

"I am as familiar as one can be with the standard for this pre-surgery preparation. Even if Fang Huanru and the others were to nitpick, they wouldn't be able to find any issues."

Even as Tian Xiangyu spoke with such confidence, he still harbored anxiety in his heart.

Lin Jie's demands on details were incredibly stringent, deeply affecting everyone present.

They all strove to achieve complete perfection in every activity, yet Tian Xiangyu was not entirely certain he could execute every aspect of this surgery's preparation without flaw.

A dozen minutes later, all those who were still outside followed Lin Jie into the operation room.

Fang Huanru glanced smugly at Tian Xiangyu and loudly said, "Teacher, we found three areas of improper preparation."

She pointed at the surgical microscope specifically for cranial surgery, saying, "First, the microscope hasn't been calibrated for focus."

"Second..."

Fang Huanru pointed at the surgical table, saying, "The cranial surgical support frame fixed on the surgical bed was adjusted according to the experimental monkey's size, but the height of the surgical table wasn't adjusted for the teacher's comfort."

"As for the third, it's not exactly an improper aspect."

She softly said, "Senior Brother Tian prepared morphine hydrochloride injection as anesthetic this time. However, there are differences between the experimental monkey and humans, and I think using fentanyl injection would be more suitable."

Lin Jie nodded gently, saying, "Fang Huanru's group did a very good inspection."

"Do not underestimate these tiny details…"

He scanned his gaze over everyone, softly saying, "Suppose you are the chief surgeon, with two assistants. Assistant A has higher medical skills, while Assistant B is slightly less skilled."

"Every time in pre-surgery preparation, Assistant A does things to the standard without errors, and Assistant B does things very meticulously, making the chief surgeon feel very comfortable during surgeries."

"In such a situation, which assistant do you think the chief surgeon will choose to nurture?"

Lin Jie didn't wait for them to answer, lightly laughed, and said, "You might think Assistant B is good at buttering up to the chief, at flattery, but such meticulous observation and attentive detail is one of the specialties a good doctor should have."

"As for the medical skill differences that you consider most important... For me, the difference in medical skills among you can be completely ignored."

"Just like how you now view the first-year and second-year freshmen at the Medical College, where the difference between the first and last in their ranking is negligible, they are essentially clueless beginners."

Seeing some lost in thought, and others gently nodding, Lin Jie continued, "Since you can do better, strive to make every job as perfect as possible."

"Flattering someone is the same, don't be afraid to lower your pride."

"During the learning phase, deliberately pleasing your learning subject is not shameful, you yourselves will actually benefit."

Lin Jie, with some smugness, reflected, "When you achieve success and fame, reaching my level, you can then put on airs."

His words sounded much like the advice of a seasoned elder to the young, though he was merely passing on Shen Lanruo's teachings to him.

Today, he seized the opportunity to give them a "heartfelt" warning.

"As for the anesthetics, since there's a more suitable one, naturally, we should choose the better one."

"Just like I've always taught you before, anything that benefits the patient, even if it only increases effectiveness by one percent, should be chosen."

"Accumulating one percent after another can be quite considerable."

"In terms of the patient's lifespan of several decades, perhaps your one percent today could let them live a few more hours or days."

Saying this, Lin Jie's tone became solemn, "Temporary life lessons end here."

"Fang Huanru's team will assist in this surgery, the others will observe and learn from the side..."

Today's experimental monkey's cranial arteriovenous replacement surgery took nearly five hours.

After the surgery, the experimental monkey was immediately sent to the intensive care unit and connected to various monitoring devices...

Seeing Lin Jie standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the number one experimental monkey connected to various data lines, Tian Xiangyu stepped forward and advised, "Teacher, go back and rest. We'll ensure the follow-up detection work for the number one is done well."

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "The three or four hours post-operation are exceptionally critical. If this kind of surgery causes any acute stimuli or reactions, they'll manifest during this time frame."

"I must stay here and watch..."

"Huh, where is everyone?"

After school, Kemeng rushed to Lin Jie's apartment, not finding the usual lively crowd, and asked puzzledly, "Xiaoxiao, did the gathering change location this time?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao handed her a glass of water and said, "You must have missed the notice in the group. A-jie has an important animal experiment surgery today, so the gathering is postponed."

"But all the harmless meat, eggs, and vegetables have been sent to Dr. Lu Kaicheng."

"If you want to eat, you can go there."

An Kemeng pouted and said, "I have many groups on my phone. I must have missed it. I'm not going to Dr. Lu's place. Every time I come here for a gathering, it's not primarily for the food."

"Xiaoxiao, what time is Brother Jie coming back today?"

"I'm not sure," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.

"Then I'll wait for him to come back. Teacher Xu Bin has some words for me to pass on," she said.

An Kemeng waited for several hours until close to ten in the evening to meet Lin Jie.

She took a cup of cool water and went forward to greet him, asking with concern, "Brother Jie, was today's animal experiment surgery successful?"

Lin Jie took the glass and drank a few big sips, saying, "It was relatively successful. The monkey didn't show acute adverse reactions, and the post-surgery checks also indicated there's no cranial damage."

"So the experiment was successful. Teacher Xu Bin would surely regret missing this news."

Lin Jie sat on the sofa, assuming a comfortable posture and said, "It's too early to call it a success. We can only say that the animal experiment achieved preliminary success."

He further explained, "Without acute adverse reactions, there's still the possibility of chronic reactions."

"Therefore, all subsequent behaviors and physiological data of this monkey over the next few months will be subject to close observation."

An Kemeng, somewhat enlightened, laughed and said, "A good start is half the success. This news is enough to make Teacher Xu Bin regret tremendously."

"Brother Jie, Teacher Xu Bin is in the process of resignation. He said he won't teach anymore. Today, he found me and asked me to relay some words to you."

With sudden wealth of tens of millions, naturally, he could enjoy life.

Lin Jie wasn't surprised by Xu Bin's decision to resign and asked, "What did he say?"

An Kemeng paused, organizing her words and said, "Teacher Xu Bin said he no longer has the face to see you, so he asked me to convey a few messages."

"He asked me first to extend his deepest apologies."

"He only recently learned that in your search for a second patient, you even spent a great deal on ads in major cinemas to locate one."

"He also mentioned he now understands that Dr. Qiao Hongzhen sweet-talked them into going to the Capital City, aiming to create obstacles for your research topic."

"Teacher Xu Bin said he is facing the consequences of his actions, deservedly so. He wanted to remind you that Qiao Hongzhen harbors deep resentment against you and asks you to be cautious of him."

Lin Jie snorted disdainfully, "Does he even need to remind me of that?"

"Teacher Xu Bin also said that he has a student working at the Sports Administration. He learned from there that Qiao Hongzhen is trying to leverage the Sports Administration to form a deep collaboration with a topic holder and entity in Binhai."

"Ultimately, they plan to establish a so-called world-class sports trauma research center led by him."

"Hmm..."

Lin Jie's eyebrows furrowed immediately.
