On Friday morning, after Lin Jie got up and washed, he completed his workout in the bedroom and came to the living room, hearing the busy sounds from the kitchen and Lin Miao's occasional frustrated voice telling Lele to behave.

Recalling An Kemeng's so-called childhood dream journey yesterday, Lin Jie headed towards the dining room and asked loudly, "Xiaoxiao, Miao Miao, did you have fun yesterday?"

Last night, when Lin Jie returned home, it was close to midnight, and both Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao were already asleep. He didn't know the specifics of what happened, let alone whether the two had reconciled.

"Brother, my good brother, I love you to death!"

Wearing an apron, Lin Miao shouted while running out from the kitchen like a cheerful nightingale, jumping into Lin Jie's arms.

She sweetly said, "Brother, I had a great time yesterday. I've forgiven Mengmeng, and we've made up."

After saying that, Lin Miao tiptoed and kissed Lin Jie on the cheek, then ran back to the kitchen, shouting, "Brother, I specially made fried dumplings this morning, you must eat more."

Although his relationship with Lin Miao was very close, her initiating a kiss like this morning was a rare occurrence.

Confused, Lin Jie turned his gaze toward Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was carrying a small bowl of congee out, and asked softly, "Is Miao Miao so happy because she reconciled with Kemeng, or because yesterday's outing suited her so well?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and said, "It's a bit of both, but the main reason is because of you."

"Because of me?" Lin Jie was even more puzzled.

Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned a little closer to him and said, "After Miao Miao and Mengmeng reconciled yesterday, Miao Miao happily asked Mengmeng how she knew so many things about her childhood."

"Mengmeng played a recording on her phone, it was your voice, recounting all of Miao Miao's childhood preferences."

"Miao Miao cried on the spot."

"Of course, she cried out of happiness, out of excitement. Girls are always easily touched by small things and details."

Zhang Xiaoxiao turned to look through the floor-to-ceiling glass at Lin Miao, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said with some relief, "You and Kexin are so good together, like honey mixed with oil, Miao Miao couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, worried that you'd forget about her once you have a wife."

"But maybe that recording made Miao Miao realize that no matter what happens in the future, you will always have her in your heart as your sister."

"That's probably why she got up so early and happily made breakfast for you."

Lin Jie never thought his unintentional actions could resolve a knot in his sister's heart. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Without Miao Miao, I wouldn't be who I am today. How could I forget her just because I have a wife."

"This kid is too sensitive, isn't she?"

Saying this, Lin Jie didn't forget to add, "And I would never forget you, Xiaoxiao."

"In the most difficult days, you selflessly helped Miao Miao and me, we are family in the truest sense more than ever."

"Oh, young as you are, you've learned how to be sentimental and deceive people."

Zhang Xiaoxiao reached out to pat Lin Jie on the shoulder and said leisurely, "Yesterday, the early amusement park experience arranged by Kemeng also allowed me to have a good and relaxing break."

"This outing, you said it was because you were worried Miao Miao wouldn't agree, so you made me take the lead. But actually, wasn't this also your intention? To let me also relax a bit?"

Lin Jie smiled, which was an admission…

Today's breakfast could be said to be quite sumptuous, with fried dumplings, shumai, fried eggs, marinated meat cold dishes, pan-fried fish pieces, stir-fried vegetables, fruit salad, along with congee and milk.

In a cheerful breakfast atmosphere, the three talked about Xiao Ganghao and Zou Manqing's engagement ceremony to be held tomorrow.

Lin Miao said somewhat helplessly, "Xiaoxiao and brother are guests on Xiao Ganghao's side, while I am invited by Manqing."

"We're a family but divided into two sides. Does this mean at the banquet, we also have to sit separately as guests from the groom's side and the bride's side?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao gave Lin Miao a piece of shumai and said, "Even if we were guests from the same side, it's unlikely the three of us would sit together."

"Miao Miao, don't forget, A-Jie has a very different status now."

"In formal settings, he generally sits at the main table. Besides, he is also Xiao Ganghao's teacher and the wedding officiant."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miao became excited and teased, "The wedding officiant has to give a speech. Brother, don't embarrass yourself in front of so many people."

Lin Jie snorted and boasted, "Your brother, I, can lecture in front of hundreds of people with no fear, calm and composed. Let alone a mere engagement ceremony with only forty or fifty people..."

After breakfast, Lin Jie took a car to school, with half of the students still waiting for him to teach.

On the way, Lin Jie received a call from An Kexin.

"A-Jie, Mr. Slophel has given me some feedback."

She said excitedly, "His nephew has been diagnosed after an examination, with a cerebral aneurysm. A-Jie, you're amazing, you noticed something was wrong just from a few laughs."

Lin Jie casually said, "It's not that impressive, just a strong professional sensitivity!"

"Kexin, is that child having seizures due to a brain aneurysm?"

An Kexin replied, "Yes, Mr. Slophel said this aneurysm is located in the brain stem area, and the stimulation from it causes intermittent mild seizures, making the child emit a regular, bizarre laughter."

"Mr. Slophel specifically asked me to convey his gratitude to you."

"The doctor told him that this aneurysm is like a time bomb, it could rupture at any moment. Once it ruptures, the consequences would be unimaginable."

An Kexin proudly said, "You basically saved his nephew's life. Mr. Slophel said he is extremely grateful to you."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Is it just verbal thanks? Doesn't this Mr. Slophel have any tangible gesture? Like that follow-up upgrade service you negotiated with him, did you manage to get a discount?"

"What do you think?"

An Kexin continued with enthusiasm, "Of course, I managed to get it."

"Within his authority limits, Mr. Slophel gave us the best discount on the equipment we're selling, and he also threw in some very practical additional services."

"This way, our chances of winning the bid are even greater."

"Ah Jie, thank you! A big kiss for you!"

"Just sending me off like that, I won't agree. Hey, let me tell you something, yesterday I met Yan Yuesi, the gynecology director you admire…"

Lin Jie then recounted his encounter with Yan Yuesi in full detail.

"Kexin, with what happened, it's unlikely Yan Yuesi will come to Anlin Hospital. You should look for another suitable gynecology director."

An Kexin softly said, and with a tone of regret, "I didn't expect this Yan Yuesi to be quite arrogant, even wanting to assess your surgical skills, really doesn't know the height of the sky."

"Forget it, no one in Anlin Hospital except you, Ah Jie, is indispensable and irreplaceable, I'll just have the headhunting company look for a new replacement."

An Kexin paused for a moment, then spoke again, "The issue with Yan Yuesi also gave me a revelation."

Without waiting for Lin Jie to ask, she continued, "Ah Jie, although your reputation is gradually spreading nationwide, besides your peers in Binhai admiring you, medical peers in other regions probably still primarily doubt, or even disbelieve, your talents."

An Kexin explained, "As medical colleagues, they often use their own experiences and insights as points of reference to evaluate the achievements of others in the industry."

"Regarding your medical skills, they've only heard of them, not seen them firsthand, for your extraordinary talents, which seem illogical at first glance, it's natural for them to doubt more than believe."

Lin Jie, considering Yan Yuesi's attitude yesterday, had to admit that An Kexin's analysis was correct.

Then he heard An Kexin's voice continue from the phone, "I think it's necessary to arrange a few challenging surgeries and invite potentially interested doctors to watch."

"Ah Jie, what do you think?"

Lin Jie didn't have any objections, saying, "To accumulate experience and broaden knowledge, I will also consciously take on more surgeries in the future, just arrange it as you see fit."

The two of them discussed some details, then ended the call…

The first person to come to the office in the morning for a face-to-face interview was Ma Hongmin.

Seeing her sitting in front of him with an expression as if ready to face death, Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so scared? I'm not going to eat you."

Ma Hongmin grinned nervously and said, "Several senior brothers and sisters have already informed us, saying that your conversation style has suddenly changed, becoming extremely picky and your words very sharp."

"One senior sister went home last night crying."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Last night I was not in a good mood, so I was a bit strict."

Ma Hongmin hopefully asked, "Teacher, you look in good spirits today, your mood today…"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "I'm in a pretty good mood today."

Just as Ma Hongmin let out a sigh of relief, Lin Jie's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "As a teacher, I must treat everyone equally and can't favor one over the other. Therefore…"

"The conversation style from last night needs to continue to be maintained…"

By eleven in the morning, the last student, Huo Guangheng, also left.

Recalling his somewhat pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, Lin Jie's heart was filled with a kind of sadistic pleasure, pondering whether to continue this conversation style.

Just then, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Lin Jie casually shouted "Come in", and saw a pregnant woman with her belly pushing the door open and entering.
