On the night of May 11, at ten o'clock, Xiaoxiao updated a message on her Weibo.

"There is hope for Xiaoyu's recovery! The consulted medical expert has responded, saying that surgery is possible! I knew the experts wouldn't let us down."

"We have informed Xiaoyu and her family about this, and tomorrow we will assist them with the specific transfer procedures."

"I will keep everyone updated on Xiaoyu's treatment status on Weibo. Please continue to support Xiaoyu, everyone! Keep her in your prayers!!"

This Weibo post also included a photo!

In the photo, Xiaoxiao stands with her hands clasped, inside a heart-shaped arrangement of lit candles, praying with a devout expression.

On the afternoon of May 13, at three o'clock, Xiaoxiao once again updated a Weibo post regarding Xiaoyu.

"After five hours on the high-speed train and another hour and a half by car within the city, Xiaoyu has finally been escorted to Binhai University Affiliated Hospital. This is the best hospital in Binhai City, with the best medical staff."

"Xiaoyu will receive the most thorough examination and care here and undergo surgery performed personally by an expert."

"Xiaoyu, go for it!!"

The accompanying photo was a snapshot of Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu in her hospital bed, with the Affiliated Hospital's emblem noticeably displayed.

Cheng Xingguang looked at this Weibo post with a smile that couldn't be contained, saying, "Although we're providing a single luxury ward for free, along with free treatment and high-level nursing, it allows millions of people to know our hospital's name."

"The cost for this exposure is as cheap as it gets."

"I believe this publicity will surely bring in many patients from across the country."

Lin Jie just smirked and said, "Does the Affiliated Hospital ever lack patients? Every time I visit the hospital, I see people queuing up for their numbers."

"Lack of course! Dr. Lin, you wouldn't know, our hospital seems to have a tight availability of beds mainly because of the high number of outpatients and short-term inpatients; there's a shortage of quality patients!"

Lin Jie naturally understood what "quality patients" referred to.

Nothing more than severely ill patients who require many expensive medications and medical equipment daily.

Cheng Xingguang, having a distressed look, said, "I worry about the hospital's revenue every year!"

"Especially in the coming years, as a few new hospitals rise up around the Phoenix Mountain area, we must plan early."

Seeing Lin Jie about to leave, Cheng Xingguang quickly said, "Dr. Lin, for this surgery, who would you like as your assistant? I can arrange it accordingly!"

Lin Jie, knowing the answer, directly said, "Lu Kaicheng! Also, arrange for a good anesthesiologist!"

Lin Jie bid farewell to Cheng Xingguang and prepared to return to his office in the hospital!

This office was arranged for him according to the treatment standards he enjoyed.

It measures around fifteen to sixteen square meters and has a small bathroom that can handle basic needs, including a shower.

The office also features a long sofa that can be used as a single bed.

Waiting outside the dean's office, Tian Xiangyu, Huo Guangheng, and others saw Lin Jie come out and walked on either side of him. A group of more than a dozen people moved forward mightily, with doctors or nurses they encountered promptly stepping aside.

After walking a dozen meters, Lin Jie suddenly stopped, prompting Tian Xiangyu, Huo Guangheng, and the others to also stop naturally.

Lin Jie turned to look at them and said, "With so many of you following me, I almost feel like a gang boss on patrol, which is rather uncomfortable!"

Tian Xiangyu chuckled lightly and said, "Teacher, you'll get used to it."

"My uncle at Jingcheng University Affiliated Hospital also has a dozen or two dozen people following him during rounds and patient diagnoses."

"Teaching hospitals are like this, especially for professors with dual roles, with students and intern doctors, numbering twenty to thirty."

Fang Huanru added with a smile, "When my dad sees patients at Limin Hospital, he also has five or six people sticking close. Of course, compared to your current presence, that's far from it."

Just then, Lin Jie saw Ren Maoshi leading a group of more than a dozen people towards them.

Ren Maoshi came up to Lin Jie and stood still, smiling, "Dr. Lin, the patient you operated on last week has benefited from your superb surgery and is recovering well; in about ten days, they should be able to be discharged."

"That's also thanks to the robust post-operative care in cardiothoracic surgery," Lin Jie replied politely.

After that surgery, Lin Jie had left the patient's subsequent care, follow-up, and review entirely to the cardiothoracic department.

This also relates to Lin Jie's role!

As a specially appointed expert at the hospital, rather than a full-time doctor, he only needs to perform surgery or diagnose a patient without being responsible for every patient he handles from start to finish.

"Dr. Lin's performance that day opened many eyes in the cardiothoracic department, including mine."

Ren Maoshi extended an invitation, "I wonder when Dr. Lin might have some time to give a hands-on guidance session in cardiothoracic surgery?"

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "This week I might not have time, and next week is uncertain. Perhaps the week after next could be arranged!"

Ren Maoshi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly and said, "Then let's set it, okay? Next week I'll check with Dr. Lin to confirm the specific time and arrangements, and when the time comes, my whole cardiothoracic department will surely roll out the welcome mat."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then parted ways.

Ren Maoshi stopped, turned around, and saw Lin Jie's figure already obscured by others. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration.

The invitation he extended just now was offhand, expecting Lin Jie to casually decline it. Unexpectedly, Lin Jie actually considered it and gave an answer that seemed like acceptance.

Perhaps it's Lin Jie's genuine and straightforward nature that has allowed him to achieve such impressive results in his medical career.

A few minutes later, over a dozen people squeezed into Lin Jie's small office.

Aside from Lin Jie being able to sit down, everyone else had to stand.

Xiao Ganghao hesitated for a moment and couldn't help reminding, "Teacher, Professor Ren's invitation just now didn't seem planned at all, did it?"

Lin Jie shot him a glance and said, "I'm not stupid, of course I could tell it was offhand, just out of politeness. But as cardiothoracic surgery is a big department, it's still necessary to maintain a good relationship with them."

"Some of you guys will definitely need to intern in cardiothoracic surgery. It's essential to familiarize yourselves with various heart-related conditions. I'm paving the way for you all now."

Gao Yanhong, Lu Xiaoyu, and others immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher, for being so considerate."

Lu Xiaoyu then pushed her luck and said, "Teacher, teacher, you have such a good relationship with the star Xiaoxiao. Now that she's holding a concert in Binhai, could you help us get some tickets?"

Ma Hongmin's eyes sparkled like little stars, blinking at Lin Jie, "Yes, yes! Xiaoxiao is so popular now, the tickets will probably sell out within minutes. We won't have time to grab them!"

Yan Beichen added in a slightly coquettish tone, "Teacher, we really love Xiaoxiao's songs. Please help us!"

Today, Xiaoxiao appeared and left the hospital within just half an hour.

She spent about ten minutes in the ward, talked with Raindrop for three or four minutes, and the rest of the time was used for photo-taking poses.

Xiaoxiao and Lin Jie conversed closely like old friends for over ten minutes.

Xiaoxiao mentioned that she would be holding a nationwide tour again this year, with Binhai as the first stop. The preparation was quite rushed, making her very busy.

She also frankly told Lin Jie that the rescue operation for Raindrop was also a kind of promotional activity.

Thanks to Lin Jie's good relationship with Xiaoxiao, Ma Hongmin and the others also got the chance to take photos with her.

Lin Jie let out a cold snort, swept his gaze over everyone, and said with a stern face, "You all have time and energy to go to concerts, huh? Seems like you're all pretty free!"

As soon as these words were out, everyone's expression changed drastically, lamenting endlessly.

"Teacher, even when I'm asleep, I'm dreaming of reading and studying!"

"Give it a break, you dare to dream! For me, taking a nap is considered rest now."

"I now limit my meal times to ten minutes. When I get food in the cafeteria, I never get dishes with bones or fish with bones, they're too troublesome to eat and waste time."

"Teacher, I'm the best at saving time. Each day, even the times I pee or poop are restricted. I don't dare to go once more or exceed the time even by a second."

Lin Jie patted the desk, stopping everyone's complaints, and sternly said, "You're getting more outrageous. Tian Xiangyu, Huo Guangheng, stay behind. The rest, go back to whatever you should be doing!"

With this instruction, everyone except Tian Xiangyu and Huo Guangheng disappeared in no time.

Lin Jie further instructed, "Tian Xiangyu, check if the examination results for that little girl are out. Huo Guangheng, go to the neurosurgery department and bring a doctor named Lu Kaicheng here."

Ten or so minutes later, Huo Guangheng and Lu Kaicheng returned first!

Lu Kaicheng looked around the office, then laid on the sofa with interest and said enviously, "Comparing people is infuriating. Even if I work here for ten years, I might not get a private office like this."

"Dr. Lin, can you give me a key to this office too?"

"I doubt you'll come here often anyway. When I'm tired, I can come here to rest for a bit."

Lin Jie laughed, "You and your wife really are a match. Chen Lili took over my dorm room, and now you're thinking about my office."

"Stop dreaming. Even though I don't come often, I have many students. They'll frequently need to use this office."

He then asked, "For this surgery, I've chosen you to be the assistant. You knew, right?"

Lu Kaicheng beamed and said, "Dean Cheng personally called the department head, my schedule is cleared for you, just let me know."

Lin Jie grinned and said, "Don't be too happy yet. To be my assistant, you'll have to pass a little test."

At this time, Tian Xiangyu returned as well, holding a pile of examination and lab reports.

Lin Jie turned on the film lamp on the east wall of the office and put up a set of CT images, saying seriously, "You three are all considered neurosurgeons."

"You have one hour to study this little girl's tumor condition!"

"Whoever comes up with the most reasonable and feasible surgical plan will be the real assistant in this case."

"Lin Jie, you're quite tricky, pulling me in and using me to motivate your students."

Lu Kaicheng complained, but his actions were quick. He positioned himself in front of the film lamp in no time, studying the CT images!

Lin Jie chuckled, "Dr. Lu, what's the matter? Are you worried that my students lack confidence in their own abilities?"

Lu Kaicheng glanced sidelong at Tian Xiangyu on the left and joked, "This Dr. Tian, does he still count as a student? His actual working years are longer than mine!"

Tian Xiangyu said earnestly, "Of course I count. Even though I'm here for advanced training, I am indeed Teacher Lin's student now, without any doubt."
