September 1st, Sunday.

On this day, An Kemeng became a senior high school student, embarking on a sprint journey for the college entrance examination nine months later.

Lin Jie also received a call from Xia Kaige early in the morning, learning about the latest examination status of the injured.

This young boy, who had passed the 24-hour critical period, had all physical indicators within acceptable ranges, and would only need to recuperate steadily in the future.

Lin Jie also learned from Xia Kaige that Xia Yu surprisingly served as the surgical nurse and participated throughout the surgery.

He immediately recalled, but indeed had no impression at all.

At that time, Lin Jie's focus was entirely on the surgery, how could he notice a surgical nurse?

However, this also indicated that Xia Yu did a pretty good job from another perspective.

Considering Lin Jie's nearly strict requirements in the operating room, if someone didn't do well or made mistakes, they would definitely attract his attention.

"This time, Xiaoyu felt deeply your superb medical skills during the surgery."

Xia Kaige regretfully said on the phone, "I originally intended to apologize to you face-to-face with Xiaoyu the next day. I just didn't expect, Expert Lin, that you rushed back to Binhai early in the morning."

Lin Jie politely replied, "Dr. Xia, there's really no need for an apology."

"Given the actual situation at that time, being doubted is natural. Even now, many people still don't believe it."

Xia Kaige chuckled lightly and said, "This is mainly because your performance and achievements far exceed the limits many people can accept relative to your age."

"Expert Lin, although I lost to you and admit you surpass me by far, I won't concede in student mentorship."

He said with high spirits, "Why don't we compete again and see in ten years whether my Xiaoyu or one of your students is more outstanding?"

"Alright, challenge accepted!"

Lin Jie certainly would not shy away from this matter.

On this day, Lin Jie stayed at home all day, spending half the time revising class notes and the other half studying the latest examination data of Ge Qiuzhi and her unborn child, simulating the specific surgical process.

September 2nd, Monday.

After the morning class ended, Lin Jie kept Zhao Fang behind and told her, "I've reviewed the paper you and Dr. Pang Leshan revised. It's passable."

"I've forwarded your paper to Editor-in-Chief Xiang Rong of 'Clinical Medicine.' He has also replied, saying the manuscript is usable and will be published in the October issue."

"Thank you, teacher, thank you, teacher!"

Zhao Fang was visibly excited and gratefully said, "Thank you for your guidance, the suggestions on the paper revisions, and your recommendation..."

"Alright, alright!"

Lin Jie interrupted her and said, "If your paper hadn't met my minimum requirements, I naturally wouldn't have recommended it for publication. Keep up the good work!"

"Thank you for your praise and encouragement, teacher!"

Zhao Fang earnestly bowed to Lin Jie, then skipped out.

Lin Jie walked out of the small auditorium with a water cup, unexpectedly finding Yan Yuesi waiting for him outside the door.

Seeing her, Lin Jie frowned.

The surgery time for Ge Qiuzhi had been fixed for nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

This person didn't show up earlier or later, but came to find him at this moment. Could it be related to tomorrow's surgery?

Yan Yuesi slightly bowed to Lin Jie and said seriously, "Expert Lin, I'm sorry!"

"I was too nervous about Qiuzhi, lost my basic judgment ability, and doubted your capability. Please forgive my rudeness and offense that day."

This apology came a bit late!

Though Lin Jie inwardly complained, he expressed himself very calmly and freely, saying, "Oh, that matter, I've forgotten about it. You don't need to dwell on it."

"Besides, I can also understand your feelings and your deep concern for Dr. Ge."

"Thank you, Expert Lin, for your understanding!"

Yan Yuesi didn't beat around the bush, directly saying, "Qiuzhi will have surgery tomorrow. I can't imagine myself powerless and anxiously waiting outside the operation room."

"Expert Lin, I beg to serve as your surgical assistant and participate in the surgery. Please agree."

Lin Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes extensively and said, "Dr. Yan, you have been in the medical field for many years. You should understand that with your close relationship to Dr. Ge, it is very inappropriate for you to be in the operation room."

Yan Yuesi, however, confidently said, "Expert Lin, please trust my self-control."

"I've been working in obstetrics and gynecology for so many years, and I've encountered many tricky and special situations."

"Although the surgery involves my loved one, precisely because of that, to avoid any mistakes, I can absolutely control my emotions and behavior, and I won't disrupt your surgery."

Lin Jie shook his head and said, unbelievingly, "If your self-control was really that good, you wouldn't have made such an unreliable request to me today."

Yan Yuesi pleaded, "Expert Lin, please let me participate in the surgery."

"My rich clinical experience in obstetrics and gynecology can certainly play a role in Qiuzhi's surgery, especially in case of emergencies."

These words made Lin Jie displeased.

This person, although they apologized, essentially still doesn't have much confidence and trust in me.

Lin Jie's tone became colder, saying, "In the surgeries I lead, the word 'accident' won't appear, and I'm prepared for all possible situations."

"This time, just wait outside the operating room as an ordinary family member of the patient."

After saying this, Lin Jie, not wanting to engage with Yan Yuesi any further, was about to leave but was grabbed by her.

She took a deep breath and said anxiously, "Expert Lin, I found out that for Qiuzhi's surgery, besides you leading it, the surgical team includes a pediatric attending doctor from the Affiliated Hospital, an attending doctor for obstetrics and gynecology, and your two students."

"This... this..."

Yan Yuesi said with a face full of worry, "The technical strength of the surgical team is too weak. At the very least, there needs to be an obstetrics and gynecology chief-level doctor on the team."

She begged, "Expert Lin, please let me join this surgery. If it's really not possible..."

"If it's really not possible, I'll just stand on the side and observe, only observe, okay?"

Lin Jie snorted forcefully, saying, "Only observe?"

"With the attitude you're displaying now, I very much doubt that during the surgery, should there be any hiccup, you'll suddenly jump in and push me aside to take over."

"The surgical team was selected by me after thorough consideration and is more than sufficient for handling Dr. Ge's surgery."

"Your concern is just... too excessive."

Lin Jie waved his hand, shook off Yan Yuesi's grip, and walked away.

At the same time, he seriously suspected that this renowned obstetrics and gynecology director was probably suffering from severe endocrine disorders and menopause syndrome.

Her current behavior does not match her medical expert status at all...

In the evening, Lin Jie returned home and found An Kexin was there too.

After dinner, she explained her purpose for coming, "Ah Jie, for this charity auction event, we need to submit five auction items. I have selected these few for your reference."

"A bottle of thirty-year-old top-quality special Moutai, a piece of calligraphy by the old master of the Du Family, a ten-year-aged twenty-gram wild ginseng, a pair of Small-leafed Sandalwood Fitness Handballs, and a Rolex watch from the World War II era collected by father."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "They're all good, valuable yet hard to price items; I estimate they could fetch a good amount of money."

He then curiously asked, "By donating Uncle An's antique watch and the Moutai you took from me, won't he be reluctant? And that wild ginseng, isn't it quite rare? Why not keep it for yourselves?"

An Kexin snorted with laughter, "Donating the Rolex watch, dad was quite pleased."

"As for the Moutai, he was quite reluctant. I originally thought to donate two bottles. After much persuasion, dad agreed to donate one."

"Regarding this wild ginseng, they say it's wild, but actually it's artificially cultivated, just that the growing environment is a bit more natural, the age is longer, and the quality is better. Its market value is around two hundred thousand."

Lin Jie lightly responded, "I also have two or three items here that could serve as auction pieces, want to take a look?"

He brought out two items from the study: one was the "Son of the Plow Ox" painting given by Du Feixue, and the other was the double-sided embroidery gifted by Yu Momo.

Upon seeing the lifelike scenery and the artistic appeal of the double-sided embroidery, An Kexin couldn't let go and hugged it, saying, "This cannot be donated. It's a masterpiece by a real embroidery master, have to keep it."

"In the future, I'll make it into a small screen and place it in our new home."

Lin Jie chuckled, saying, "Alright, since you like it so much, we'll keep it."

"Then what about this painting?"

An Kexin unfolded the "Son of the Plow Ox" painting, admired it for a while, and said, "This painting clearly is a meticulously done work by the old master of the Du Family, with great potential for appreciation. We should keep it. There's already a calligraphy piece, that's enough."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "Kexin, I think for such a charity auction, it's best to donate one or two items where the meaning surpasses the actual value, that way we won't lose out."

An Kexin gave Lin Jie a sidelong glance and said, "We're not some movie stars or famous singers with things where the meaning surpasses the actual value, are we?"

Lin Jie, grinning, said, "Although opportunities for treatment can't be auctioned, a chance for a check-up can be auctioned. Allowing a world-class renowned doctor like me to conduct a full-body examination should interest quite a few people, right?"

"If any illness is actually found, whether to continue with the treatment afterward is really up to us!"

An Kexin nodded with satisfaction and said, "That truly is a good auction item."
