An Kexin looked at the ID in her hand and said, "The photo is kind of ugly."

"Yeah, it's really ugly!" Lin Miao agreed.

Good news should naturally be shared with the people you're closest to.

After returning to Binhai, Lin Jie didn't go home, but went straight to Weize Building.

The two women he cared about most were there.

Listening to them, Lin Jie was exasperated, saying, "It's often said that men and women are creatures of different dimensions, and now I truly believe it. The photo on the ID is the same as the one on the ID card, so of course it doesn't look as good as in real life. But..."

"You two, do you not understand the significance of these IDs?"

An Kexin suddenly smiled, her face bright as a peach blossom, "We're not stupid, we naturally understand what this means."

"From now on, if you want to open someone's head, you can open it. If you want to cut open someone's stomach, you can do that too. No one can stop you anymore. This is a big event worth celebrating."

"I'll treat everyone to lunch, invite all our friends."

Lin Jie reached out to stop her and said, "Kexin, no need to rush. We can celebrate together on Wednesday at my place when we enjoy some natural foods."

"Hey, Kexin, how's the community free clinic coordination going?"

Speaking of business, An Kexin became serious and sat up straight, saying, "Yang Leyi is in charge of coordinating and organizing this matter."

"She has already spoken with Officer Qin of Huayuan First Village. Officer Qin is very supportive and welcoming of the free clinic you're leading, and they've set the event for this Sunday."

"Leyi will be going to Huayuan First Village tomorrow to do a survey and discuss further details with Officer Qin. Do you want me to call Yang Leyi over to give you a report?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No need. You all handle these things yourselves. I'll just be responsible for leading the people there when the time comes."

"There's something else I need to tell you!"

An Kexin brushed her hair aside and softly said, "Your student Lu Xiaoyu came to me last night, saying she wants to work at Anlin Hospital. I agreed and signed with her."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "She, well, her foundation is quite solid, and she's diligent and motivated, with some potential for growth."

An Kexin's face fell as she said helplessly, "Lin Jie, can you not hold them all to your standards? I know that Lu Xiaoyu has several third-class hospitals wanting to sign her."

"She herself broke the agreement with Jingcheng Workers Hospital and switched to our Anlin Hospital."

She reminded him again, "Lin Jie, in your future teaching, take good care of her. She's one of our own now, a key development prospect!"

Lin Jie snorted and said, "All ten of my students now are key prospects. Whether they can keep up is their own business."

Lin Miao chuckled and said, "Brother, you must be a very strict and quite domineering teacher!"

Lin Jie patted her hair that hung over her ears and proudly said, "Of course! A doctor's duty is to save lives, being strict with them is being responsible to both them and the patients."

"Alright, alright!"

An Kexin interrupted Lin Jie, saying, "We all know you're a very responsible doctor and teacher. Let me tell you about the second matter..."

"The headhunting company has already filtered out several candidates for department chief and deputy chief positions based on our requirements."

"I've sent their resumes to your email. If you think there's no issue, let the headhunting company proceed to the next step."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "I won't bother looking at resumes. Doctors are different from other jobs; no matter how impressive a resume is, if they can't treat patients, it's useless."

"You do the preliminary screening, let the headhunting company talk first. If they're interested, I'll have a face-to-face talk with them to assess their medical skills."

An Kexin nodded and said, "That works too, you handle the final review."

"The third matter is, the design drawings of the hospital staff dormitory have been completed. Do you want to take a look?"

She teased, "There's even a unit for you, and it's the top one."

"If you have any dissatisfaction or specific requests, you can point it out, and the designers can make adjustments."

Lin Jie waved his hand directly, saying, "I have no special requirements for living spaces, as long as there's a quiet place to rest after late-night surgeries, that's fine."

Thinking for a moment, he added, "Doctors and interns have a relatively high mental stress level; it's best to have a gym, recreational area, or swimming pool to help relieve stress."

An Kexin nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, you're quite right! I'll ask the designers to make revisions immediately, clear one floor for a fitness and recreation center."

Hearing this, Lin Miao gave An Kexin a puzzled look.

Seeing An Kexin had no more to say, Lin Jie stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. Once I come back, let's go have lunch together."

After Lin Jie went to the bathroom, Lin Miao asked confusedly, "Kexin, I remember you had previously instructed the designers about the fitness and leisure center, did I remember it wrong?"

An Kexin pinched Lin Miao's ear slightly and laughed, "Your ears are quite sharp! When I said that, did it make your brother feel very accomplished and satisfied?"

"In the future, when I ask for his opinion, do you think he will be eager to give suggestions?"

Lin Miao pouted and said, "Kexin, you're coaxing a child here!"

An Kexin giggled and wrapped her arm around Lin Miao's shoulder, saying, "Let me tell you, men and children are exactly the same, they need to be coaxed."

"Hmph, my brother is not a child!" Lin Miao murmured.

Seeing Lin Jie come out of the bathroom, Lin Miao shook off An Kexin's hand, grabbed the drawing tube Lin Jie left on the sofa into her chest, and shouted, "Brother, let's go eat Western food, shall we?"

"Okay, let's go eat Western food!" Lin Jie agreed with a smile.

Lin Jie opened the office door and saw Ling Mengjiao standing outside, raising her hand.

"Hello, Lin Jie!"

Ling Mengjiao smiled slightly and raised the three file folders in her left hand, saying, "I have some applicants' request materials here, for President An to review and decide on whom to assist."

"Are you heading out?"

"Yes, we're going out for lunch."

Seeing each file folder was thick, knowing it must contain applicants' medical records and other materials, Lin Jie was immediately interested and reached out, saying, "Let me see the applicants' information!"

"Here you go! These are the candidates we've selected from a dozen applicants, feeling they most need assistance."

Ling Mengjiao sighed, "Each applicant's situation is pitiful. Yet our capability is very limited, and every time it comes to deciding whom to support, I feel troubled for a while!"

"Don't let yourself be repressed or depressed. Should you see a psychologist?" Lin Jie asked with concern while pulling out a set of documents from one of the folders.

The documents included photocopied medical records, lab reports, examination sheets, a family situation statement, and proof letters from the unit and neighborhood committee.

Lin Jie only examined the medical records, lab reports, and examination sheets.

"I'm just uncomfortable for a while, no need for psychological counseling."

Seeing Lin Jie's frown, Ling Mengjiao felt a sense of dread and asked cautiously, "Lin Jie, is there something wrong with this applicant?"

Lin Jie pointed to several data points on the lab report and said, "Looking at these few values, this applicant, besides the main illness, also has conditions like pharyngitis, gastric ulcer, and his liver function isn't great either."

Seeing the confused look on Ling Mengjiao, An Kexin, and Lin Miao's faces, he further explained, "These conditions are mainly due to long-term smoking, drinking, staying up late, and irregular diet."

"This indicates that the person's lifestyle habits are extremely unhealthy, possibly due to high life stress. But such habits are detrimental to recovery after major surgery."

Lin Jie spoke softly, "Since we have many applicants to choose from, let's select those who can face life's challenges optimistically, have self-discipline, and maintain good lifestyle habits!"

Ling Mengjiao said with some self-blame, "This is something we've overlooked. Indeed, the applicant's mental outlook and lifestyle habits are important factors that need consideration."

Lin Jie opened the second file folder and browsed the information; this applicant was a thirty-five-year-old man diagnosed with ampullary cancer.

Upon seeing this cancer, Lin Jie sighed and put the documents back in the folder, saying, "This cancer's treatment is very troublesome and prone to complications. Even if surgery goes well, life expectancy doesn't look optimistic."

Lin Jie opened the third file folder.

Seeing the medical record, he breathed a sigh of relief; this applicant needed aortic surgery.

Handing the folder back to Ling Mengjiao, Lin Jie said, "This applicant can be helped. If the aortic surgery succeeds, he will recover and become a completely healthy person."

Lin Jie mused for a moment and said, "Charity can be quite distressing work. Given the constraints, we can only choose to assist the applicants who would benefit most."

"For those with severe cancers who can only extend their life by two or three years, let's give up on them. Prioritize those who can fully recover through surgery."

An Kexin, Ling Mengjiao, Lin Miao, and others were momentarily silent. Although what Lin Jie said was very harsh, it was indeed the optimal choice for the use of charitable funds.

Resources are limited and can only be used on the applicants who offer the greatest benefit.

Ling Mengjiao exhaled deeply, with a tinge of bitterness, saying, "Alright, for future applicant selection, I will follow this principle to screen!"
