"Ah Jie, Miaomiao, breakfast is ready, come and eat!"

With Zhang Xiaoxiao's strong voice, the Lin Family siblings appeared in the dining room.

The table was already set with a steaming breakfast, including century egg and lean meat congee, golden fried eggs, pan-fried dumplings, buns, egg pancakes, pumpkin pancakes, and a few stir-fried vegetables.

Lin Jie sat down by the table and advised, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to get up early to make so many different things! Sometimes I just cook a bowl of noodles and boil an egg to get by breakfast."

"Exactly, breakfast can be simple and quick, just to fill the stomach. Xiaoxiao, you don't need to work so hard!" Lin Miao added in agreement.

Zhang Xiaoxiao handed the porridge to Lin Jie and Lin Miao, saying, "I'm not busy anyway, getting up a bit early is no big deal! You both are busy people now, doing important things, you can't eat poorly."

"Oh, right! Ah Jie, remember to give me a bank account! I'll transfer the money for your investment in the clothing store and the dividends to you."

Lin Jie took a bite of the pan-fried dumpling and said, "There's no rush for that! Xiaoxiao, aren't you planning to open another store?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned lazily against the back of the chair and said, "Isn't opening a store just for making money, and making money just to live comfortably! I've paid off the mortgage and the external debts, and the remaining money is enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime."

She waved her hand and said, "Why open another store, worrying about this and that every day, it's exhausting!"

Lin Miao, a bit concerned, exchanged a look with Lin Jie and suggested, "Xiaoxiao, now that you have money, why not travel and relax!"

"I was thinking about that before. Once my eyes get better, I wanted to travel around."

"It's just that now with work, one challenging family after another, I can't get away."

Zhang Xiaoxiao straightened up and pretended to be angry, "What? I've only been at your place for two days, and you're already tired of me? Trying to send me away under the pretext of travel?"

Lin Miao pouted discontentedly, "Xiaoxiao, you know what I mean!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao pinched Lin Miao's nose and smiled, "You're getting prettier by the day, little one!"

"Ah Jie, Miaomiao, you don't have to worry about me overthinking, I've long come to terms with everything. When Ah Jie came to find me, I was just in a few days of being quite down, but I thought a lot too."

"At first, I held a thought against marriage, but slowly ended up getting involved with Luo Pengyi."

Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed at herself and continued, "Although it ended like that, I did genuinely love once, so I haven't lived in vain."

"Moreover, I didn't lose out, I earned a big sum of money!"

She held Lin Jie and Lin Miao's hands contentedly and said, "What makes me happiest is that you two little ones never forgot me, your sister."

"From now on, you are my family, an inseparable family."

Lin Jie held Zhang Xiaoxiao's hand back and said, "We've always been family. As you said, Miaomiao and I grew up under your watch, you used to feed us milk powder when we were little."

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled proudly and said, "That's true, I used to play with you two after school back then!"

"You two have always been pretty and well-behaved since you were little, easily loved by others…"

Looking at Lin Jie and Lin Miao who have grown up, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt like the vivid scenes from the past were just yesterday.

She said emotionally, "You two have turned your hardship into happiness. Seeing you now, I know there's nothing in life that can't be overcome."

After breakfast, the Lin Family siblings went to Weize Company together.

Lin Miao was going to work, and Lin Jie was going to the company to meet Anlin Hospital's new director, Dean Gong.

This was arranged last night when An Kexin sent him back home.

In the chairman's office of the company, Lin Jie met Dean Gong.

He was an old man with graying hair, of medium height, slightly chubby, looking kind and amiable!

Dean Gong stood up proactively, shook Lin Jie's hand, and said with a full smile, "Dr. Lin, in the past half a year, I've almost heard someone mention your name every day."

"I didn't personally see yesterday's surgery, but I've heard a lot about it. To impress Dr. Xia Kaige, you indeed have great talent, Dr. Lin."

"With Dr. Lin stationed at Anlin Hospital, it will surely gain national fame, and make a name internationally."

Lin Jie modestly said, "Dean Gong, you're exaggerating, you're too kind!"

An Weize chuckled lightly and said, "Dean Gong is handling the internal retirement procedures at the Fifth Municipal Hospital, and in another one or two months, he will be able to fully focus on Anlin Hospital."

"Today, let's first have a meeting to confirm some things."

Lin Jie nodded and sat down, An Kexin timely handed him a cup of hot tea.

He took a sip, put down the tea cup, and said, "The hospital's construction is proceeding methodically, and for a hospital, the most important are two things: people and equipment. We are lagging far behind in both areas now!"

"Lin Jie is right! Although the company itself also deals with medical equipment, the true needs of a hospital for various equipment are not yet deeply understood..."

An Weize turned his gaze to Dean Gong and said, "For this, we need Dean Gong..."

Gong Xuepeng reached into a large document bag and pulled out a document about ten centimeters thick, saying, "In this regard, I've already made some preparations."

"Chairman An, based on our last conversation, regarding the personnel size, department planning, and bed count of Anlin Hospital, I've prepared a materials requirement list as a reference!"

He further explained, "For large medical equipment like CT scanners, gamma-ray stereotactic systems, MRI machines, industrial X-ray machines, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, etc., I've only listed the equipment names."

"As for the models and sensitivity levels of the equipment, we'll need Dr. Lin's requirements to make the final determination."

An Weize flipped through a few pages of the document, smiled, and said, "With this list, we won't miss anything. As for the large medical equipment, Lin Jie, what are your thoughts?"

Lin Jie had some understanding of the large equipment area.

If his role were only as a doctor, naturally, the newer the model, the better, and the higher the sensitivity levels, the better.

However, as a shareholder of the hospital, he knew the An Family's financial limitations, which required considering cost issues.

For a set of equipment, increasing its sensitivity level by one grade could mean millions of dollars in price difference.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and compromised, "For the MRI machine and CT scanner, as well as the complete sets of microsurgery equipment needed in the operating rooms, we should rent or buy the best we can with our capabilities."

"For the other equipment, you can decide for yourselves!"

An Weize felt the thick document and stated, "Lin Jie, Anlin Hospital has been my long-time wish."

"I promise you, except for the equipment you've specified, all other equipment choices, though we may not have the strength to buy the latest and greatest, will definitely be the most mainstream and general equipment."

They began to discuss specific equipment models!

Due to the sheer amount of equipment, it was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that they roughly went through the high-value equipment needed for the hospital.

Next, they discussed personnel issues.

Gong Xuepeng, an experienced dean with decades working in hospitals, had extensive network resources.

Considering Anlin Hospital's actual situation, Gong Xuepeng submitted a very targeted personnel list.

Of the dozens of people listed, only a few were doctors; the rest were mostly technical professionals in medical technology departments.

In a hospital, aside from the doctors and nurses who directly face patients, there is also a large group serving patients directly or indirectly, such as the laboratories, radiology, nuclear medicine, pathology, hematology, pharmacy, ultrasound diagnostics, radiation therapy departments, etc.

These departments handle various technical tasks like biochemical tests, blood tests, and tissue pathology examinations.

Gong Xuepeng softly said, "Nowadays, hospitals are competing for reputable doctors, while technical department personnel are relatively overlooked."

"The people on this list have at least seven or eight years of work experience and possess the ability to work independently and even take charge."

"Contacting them, and offering improved treatments and positions, I think there's a good chance of securing them."

An Kexin took the list and said, "I will personally contact everyone on this list one by one."

At this moment, Lin Jie's phone rang.

It was a call from Niu Yilan!

Lin Jie stepped out of the office to take the call.

"Lin Jie, the swelling on my face has mostly gone down, but my appearance, my appearance..."

Lin Jie felt a bit uncomfortable with Niu Yilan replacing Yao Siyuan a few days before the surgery.

Judging by her tone, Lin Jie understood that the surgery results were likely unsatisfactory, and he couldn't help but have a slight schadenfreude tone as he said, "What, does it look worse now?"

"Not worse, just limited improvement, I can say it hasn't met my lowest expectations!"

Regarding cosmetic surgery and appearance, women don't set a minimum expectation; they only have satisfied or unsatisfied options.

Understanding this, Lin Jie regretfully said, "There's nothing to be done, the surgery has been done, how can it be redone? Plastic surgery was a gamble from the start."

"Don't be sad. Once the swelling completely disappears, and you do a bit of minor cosmetic work and put on some makeup, maybe you'll turn into a beauty."

"Impossible, impossible!"

Niu Yilan suddenly whimpered and cried over the phone, saying, "Lin Jie, if Dr. Yao had done the surgery, would my situation have been much better?"

"Today, I heard some doctors discussing you, saying you outperformed a very skilled doctor, and that you are genuinely the top person in the country in cardiothoracic surgery!"

"'Top person in the country' sounds very impressive!"

"Someone as skilled as you, recognized and recommended by you, must be extraordinarily good too!"

"Wuwu... Lin Jie, I regret it, I really regret it!"
