In the blink of an eye, five weeks had passed, and Binhai had entered the warm spring season of mid-April.

Four weeks after her first surgery, Zhuang Shilei underwent a second operation, which also went quite smoothly.

Due to the consecutive surgeries causing significant damage to Zhuang Shilei's body, Lin Jie tentatively scheduled the next surgery for a month and a half later.

Lin Jie's lectures continued as planned.

Twice a week. The curriculum had already covered the three main human organs: lungs, heart, and liver.

Each time he gave a lecture, after some ups and downs, the number of auditors stabilized at around a hundred. However, most attendees were new faces, with only a few regularly persisting.

Initially, there were sixteen students, including Wei Hongyang and Ma Hongmin; currently, ten remain committed.

Of the six who left, three voluntarily withdrew due to personal struggles, and the other three were let go by Lin Jie after identifying falsifications or passive attitudes during one-on-one discussions.

To his surprise, Lin Jie's lecture contents became quite popular on medical forums.

The recordings of each class were uploaded to the forum immediately.

In the following days, various interpretations of the lecture content appeared on the forum, turning it into a vibrant, professional symposium.

At the Medical College, Shijing Mountain, and Lai Haoming were expelled for misconduct. Lin Jie considered these two individuals minor ripples in his life, soon forgotten.

It was Saturday; the weather in Binhai was becoming increasingly warm.

Even at sunset, the scent of flowers warmed by the sun lingered in the air, mingled with the gently blowing spring breeze, creating an intoxicating atmosphere.

On the flower-shaded paths of Binhai Park, a young couple strolled along.

The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful and graceful, making many lovers wandering among the flowers feel overshadowed and step aside.

The woman took a long breath of the floral scent and smiled happily, saying, "I love spring the most. The warmth and blooming flowers make even the air taste sweet."

The man shook his head lightly and said seriously, "Spring is the peak season for many allergies."

"And because of the variable weather and unstable temperatures, many people get respiratory infections, cardiovascular diseases, etc."

"In relative terms, spring is quite a dangerous season!"

The woman playfully kicked the man like a mischievous little girl, pouting, "Lin Jie, you really can't stray far from your field. Since entering Medical College, you're becoming more doctor-like!"

Lin Jie chuckled, "I am a doctor, after all. Kexin, you said you had good news for me; what is it?"

What an unromantic guy.

An Kexin resisted the urge to roll her eyes and, in a cheerful tone, said, "Father's efforts have finally borne fruit."

"The government side said that as long as the recruited doctors have titles of deputy chief or higher and are under forty-five, their household registration, spouse, and children's household issues will be resolved."

"However, to avoid strong opposition from surrounding and inland provinces and cities, the government will not issue a formal policy, allowing us to proceed quietly so that outsiders believe it's merely an enterprise talent recruitment perk."

Lin Jie laughed softly, saying, "Quietly enter the village without firing a shot."

An Kexin, eyes twinkling with amusement, said, "Father and I think it's best to commission a headhunting company to screen suitable candidates and handle the contact."

"Lin Jie, what do you think?"

Lin Jie nodded, "That works. Headhunting companies specialize in this. Entrusting it to them means we won't have to worry about information leaks or negatively influencing candidates or ourselves."

An Kexin smiled, "Lin Jie, you'll have the final say! In the medical field, there are quite a few so-called experts who are more hype than substance."

"No problem, I won't let any impostors through!" Lin Jie said confidently.

"And there's more good news!"

An Kexin picked a branch full of purple flowers, sniffed it, and then let it go. "The application to build a residential building for Anlin Hospital has also been approved."

Lin Jie happily said, "That's great news! That way, with household registration and housing solved, we have two major tools to attract doctors from other areas."

An Kexin sighed a bit, "Though the planning department clearly stated that the self-built residential building can only be used privately and not sold externally."

"My idea is for the top few floors of the residential building to be expert apartments for the chief-level doctors we're focusing on recruiting. The middle floors will be regular three-bedroom or two-bedroom units for the core doctors we hire."

"Then, there will be a few floors of single apartments and dormitories for young doctors and interns. The bottom floors will be a hotel to accommodate patient families."

Lin Jie laughed, "Is this still a residential building? How many floors do you plan to build?"

An Kexin beamed with pride, "I'm just making reasonable use of the conditions the government granted us!"

"I initially calculated it can't be less than twenty floors, to ensure sufficient investment..."

Seeing her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, Lin Jie felt a bit uneasy, "Kexin, you aren't eyeing my money, are you? Such a building would cost in the tens of millions, if not over a hundred million!"

"I only have a little over ten million, far from enough!"

An Kexin's eyes widened with surprise, "Lin Jie, you actually have that much money?"

Hearing this, Lin Jie felt a bit remorseful for blurting out his financial status so carelessly.

He chuckled, "Since your family gifted a luxury house as a reference, wealthy patient families feel obliged to give more."

An Kexin thought for a moment, "The pop star Xiaoxiao is at the peak of her career now, earning at least a hundred million yearly. Without you, she wouldn't be where she is, so even giving you tens of millions wouldn't sting for her!"

"You saved Qin Gang's life, and Ye Hongqing, the big boss, is very generous and surely wouldn't be stingy."

She sidled up to Lin Jie, affectionately saying, "I thought you might have a few million max. I never imagined you had so much cash!"

"Lin Jie, I bet you just have this money sitting in the bank collecting interest. Nowadays, the concept of money making money is common; who still just saves it in a bank?"

"Why not invest ten million? Consider it a loan to our An Family!"

"I'll calculate the interest at twice the three-year bank rate, how does that sound? Besides, with your excellent medical skills, it's not like you're short on money."

Lin Jie didn't respond immediately and instead asked, "Is there a problem with the company's cash flow?"

An Kexin shook her head softly, "No problem, but it's been tight, with each income and expenditure budgeted. Now, building an additional building wasn't in the budget."

Lin Jie quickly calculated in his mind: he had over twelve million in cash in the bank, over three hundred thousand in gold at home, and a monthly rental income of over forty thousand from shops.

With expected income from his current project, there would be an additional income of over two million!

Expected expenses... there were no major ones.

After a swift assessment, Lin Jie said, "I'll give you fifteen million, and if that's not enough, I can mortgage the apartment for a loan!"

An Kexin contentedly said, "Fifteen million will be enough; this is just our An Family's input, and there are other shareholders too."

At this moment, a phone rang from Lin Jie's pocket!

He took it out and saw it was a call from the elder of the Fu Family, which he quickly answered.

After exchanging pleasantries, he heard the elder say, "I'm hosting a small family dinner at home tomorrow noon. Are you available?"
