The young man's comment about "usurping the nest" made the atmosphere at the symposium suddenly cold.

Everyone's eyes wandered between Chen Shi, who was standing in front of the projection screen, and Lin Jie, who was sitting quietly at the conference table.

Chen Shi looked solemn, threw the PPT remote control in his hand onto the podium, and said in a deep voice, "I know this question is a doubt in many people's minds."

"I'll take this opportunity to make a public explanation."

He pointed to Lin Jie and said, "As everyone knows, Lin Jie is my student. However, I also know some people privately discuss that I and Lin Jie only have the title of mentor and student, but not in reality."

"I must point out that this rumor is absolutely wrong and absolutely does not align with the facts."

This statement caused strong disdain and contempt to flash deep in the eyes of some attendees from Binhai, who knew some inside information.

This guy really dares to speak, isn't he ashamed at all.

"The actual situation is, to some extent, Lin Jie could be said to be... my teacher!"

The hall suddenly buzzed with the sound of discussions.

Chen Shi remained unchanged in expression and said, "Lin Jie's medical talent is obvious to anyone who's not blind, and I am, of course, well aware of it."

"Therefore, I often shamelessly bring some medical problems that I find very difficult, or cannot solve myself, under the guise of 'examination' to ask Lin Jie for help."

This remark caused a knowing light laugh in the hall, and the atmosphere of the symposium instantly relaxed.

Many people thought to themselves, yes, if I also had a student as incredibly talented as Lin Jie, to maintain the dignity of being a mentor, I would certainly intensify the 'examinations.'

A faint smile appeared on Chen Shi's face as he continued, "Through this method, Lin Jie helped me solve many difficult problems. In some sense, saying he is my teacher is not an exaggeration."

"Alright, back to this research. Our experimental subject, Zhuang Shilei, was also encountered by Lin Jie accidentally."

"When discussing Zhuang Shilei's treatment plan together, I happened to recall a treatment idea."

He pointed again at Tao Taqing and continued, "This idea was something I brought up with my old friend, Dean Tao Taqing, by chance."

"It involves transplanting muscle fibers to severely wounded areas of the body, using the dermal layer rich in micro-blood vessels, to remodel the terminal blood circulation system."

"At that time, we conducted some tests but gave up."

"Because this idea requires an extremely high level of precision in surgical operations, far above the norm. We unanimously believed that no one could achieve this."

"However, the facts have proven us wrong."

Chen Shi proudly looked at Lin Jie and said loudly, "Lin Jie can do it. His incredibly precise and stable micro-operations enabled me and Dean Tao's ideas to become a reality."

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a surgical operation demonstration by me and Dean Tao, showing you the transplantation of muscle fibers and the dermal layer detachment and transplantation anastomosis."

"Dean Tao and I no longer have the physical strength and energy to support a complete surgery, but performing a demonstration is more than sufficient."

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted in the conference hall.

Chen Shi's words served as a good explanation for the "usurping the nest" issue.

This research result came from the idea of him and Tao Taiqing, and Lin Jie was just the executor and implementer.

In many fields, the importance of creativity is higher than that of the executors.

For example, the status of a theoretical physicist is much higher than that of an experimental physicist, which is why Sheldon always looks down on and occasionally mocks Leonard.

But specifically in medical surgery...

Considering that Lin Jie is Chen Shi's student and due to some special circumstances at the time, everyone present chose not to dwell on this issue.

Next, the symposium proceeded in the predetermined order, with reports from Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, and Lin Jie.

Lin Jie's report topic was some practical tips on surgical operations.

He knew he was not the main character of this symposium and did not overshadow the hosts; he introduced just three or four small techniques in his report before concluding.

When the three reports were finished, it was lunchtime.

This symposium arranged for a buffet.

Following the crowd to the buffet restaurant on the second floor of Jingqiu Building, Lin Jie took some food with his tray and kept looking around.

"Teacher, who are you looking for, do you need my help?"

Lin Jie turned around to see Song Licheng and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for the guy who made the 'usurping the nest' comment to see who brought him here as a participant."

Song Licheng gently tugged on Lin Jie's sleeve and whispered, "Teacher, come with me, I know the details of that person."

Lin Jie followed him to a relatively secluded table and sat down, smiling, "You're quite efficient, finding out so quickly. Show me, who instructed that guy!"

Song Licheng looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then lowered his voice, "Teacher, that young man was actually arranged by Dean Tao and the mentor themselves, not by an outside influence."

"What? Why?" Lin Jie was very surprised.

Song Licheng glanced around again and explained, "Dean Tao and the mentor said that many people would certainly think and believe this in private."

"Rather than keeping it hidden and ambiguous, it is better to clarify it on the spot and provide a reasonable explanation to completely silence others."

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and couldn't help nodding, "Damn, old ginger is indeed spicier."

"By poking through this thin layer and exposing everyone's little thoughts while making it sound reasonable, there's no need to explain things further if similar discussions arise in the future."

"Expert Lin, Dr. Song, may I sit here?"

A sweet voice rang in his ear. Lin Jie looked up to see Zhuang Shilei, in a light long dress wearing a half-mask and holding a tray full of food, standing gracefully nearby.

The discussion arrangement for the afternoon seminar required Zhuang Shilei, the experiment subject, to speak from personal experience.

"Please sit, did you come by yourself?"

Zhuang Shilei elegantly sat down next to Lin Jie and softly said, "My cousin wanted to come with me, but thinking about how his friend is still in a crucial recovery phase, I didn't let him come."

"Expert Lin, my cousin asked me to convey his thanks to you once again."

"My cousin said that his friend is recovering very well and has resumed physical training. The weight loss is visibly noticeable."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "As for how much your cousin's friend can recover, it's not up to me to decide. It depends on the extent of his permanent cranial injury."

Zhuang Shilei removed her half-mask and gently covered the left half of her face with her left hand, taking small bites of her food.

Seeing her like this, Lin Jie gently advised, "Zhuang Shilei, there's no need to hide like that. Most of the people dining here today are healthcare professionals. They're used to it."

Zhuang Shilei put down her hand, glanced around, and said embarrassedly, "Eating outside, I'm used to covering it with my hand."

"Expert Lin, the sudden pain on my left face has passed its peak. The time for the next surgery should be soon, right?"

Lin Jie replied, "No need to rush. It's currently too hot. October and November are the most suitable months for cosmetic surgery. Come to me in October. I'll need to first perform subcutaneous tissue expansion to prepare enough skin for the graft on your left face."

Zhuang Shilei nodded, "I understand..."

For Lin Jie, this seminar was already over.

He did not plan to attend the discussions in the afternoon or the following day.

After lunch, Lin Jie spoke with Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, Yuan Guangxi, Xiang Rong, and others before taking his leave.

However, he was just in the lobby on the first floor of Jingqiu Building when someone caught up with him.

It was a female participant around thirty to forty years old. Lin Jie knew her name was Wei Rufang, from the Jingcheng Red Cross Hospital.

Few women were invited to the seminar, only seven or eight, and she was the most eye-catching among them, so Lin Jie remembered her.

Lin Jie stopped and waited for her to approach, politely saying, "Hello, Dr. Wei!"

"Hello, Dr. Lin!"

Wei Rufang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Dr. Lin, I know you admitted that child from the Ma Family in the Capital City. May I ask, have you made any headway in diagnosing that child?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "The child was only admitted yesterday. It will take two to three days to get all the test results. I've briefly reviewed the previous medical records, but haven't found anything yet."

Wei Rufang gently nodded, "Dr. Lin, my brother is Wei Zhifeng, the head of pediatrics at the Capital City Union Hospital. There was a time when this child was treated by my brother."

When she mentioned her brother, she had a proud look on her face and emphasized "Union Hospital."

The Capital City Union Hospital has long been ranked as the number one special-grade hospital in the country.

This had no effect on Lin Jie. He merely responded with a light "oh" and calmly asked, "May I know if your brother discovered anything?"

Without seeing the admiration she expected on Lin Jie's face, Wei Rufang's expression slightly darkened. She said, "After a period of diagnosis and treatment, my brother concluded that the child's frequent illnesses are due to psychological factors."

"He suggested providing the child with psychological intervention therapy."

This diagnosis coincided with one of Lin Jie's thoughts.

He slightly nodded and asked, "And how is the effect of the psychological intervention therapy?"

Wei Rufang shook her head, sounding a bit dissatisfied as she said, "The patient's family didn't accept my brother's diagnosis, so the psychological intervention therapy was never carried out..."

Pausing for a moment, Wei Rufang continued, "Dr. Lin, actually there's a rumor about that child's condition circulating in the Capital City..."

"Oh, what rumor?" Lin Jie asked in cooperation.

Wei Rufang glanced around, as if hesitant, and said, "I'm just mentioning it, Dr. Lin. You just listen; if anyone else asks, I won't admit I ever told you."

Lin Jie frowned, not speaking, but thought to himself, if you want to tell, then tell, if not, then don't. Why act so mysteriously, trying to keep people in suspense?

"So, here's the thing!"

Wei Rufang moved closer to Lin Jie and whispered, "The child is from the second branch of the Ma Family and is the only male child of the third generation."

"The eldest of the Ma Family has a daughter, and during a dispute with the second son's wife while pregnant with her second child, she had a miscarriage."

"It's said that the miscarriage was a boy..."

At this moment, Lin Jie's mind felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through it.

From Wei Rufang's implications, the child's illness was the outcome of tit-for-tat power struggles in a wealthy family. This revelation was shockingly melodramatic.
