"Girlfriend..."

With Lin Jie's words, all eyes turned to An Kexin.

At that moment, An Kexin, who was usually graceful, blushed with rare shyness and stood up awkwardly, softly asking, "How can you all be so sure it would be me?"

Lu Kaicheng chuckled and said, "I've long seen that you two have a special connection. The way you exchange glances and your body language are very telling."

Ling Mengjiao spoke softly, "When you're with Lin Jie, you often can't help but steal glances at him."

"Besides, among all of us, only you truly match Lin Jie."

Chen Qiuhua said, "Looking at you was purely my first reaction. I feel that you and Lin Jie are truly well-suited!"

An Kexin felt amused even as she was delighted.

She had thought this relationship was well-hidden, not expecting that it was already obvious to everyone, and they were just playing along by not pointing it out.

She looked at Lin Miao, asking, "Miaomiao, are you happy with me being with your brother?"

The recently recovered Lin Miao smiled and said, "I'm definitely happy to have someone else take care of my brother."

Seeing An Kexin's gaze, An Kemeng quickly said, "Sister, you exposed yourselves, it wasn't me who leaked it, so you can't take back what you gave me."

An Kexin gave her a glance and huffed, "I'm not someone who goes back on my word. I won't ask a little greedy person like you for it back."

At this moment, Lin Jie was left somewhat pitifully on the side.

An Kexin pursed her lips and smiled, raised her glass, lightly clinked it against Lin Jie's glass, and said, "Last night, I realized my true feelings. Losing you is a pain I can't bear!"

"It turns out, I have unknowingly fallen deeply in love with you and the feeling of being with you!"

An Kexin said with emotion, "Ah Jie, I wish to walk with you through life, to be the emotional support you'd lean on, your comfortable and relaxing harbor!"

"Everyone present here today is a witness to my words."

"I... I..."

Lin Jie felt his nose tingle with emotion and was at a loss for words.

"Actions speak louder than words!"

Chen Qiuhua shouted, "Lin Jie, why are you hesitating, kiss her..."

"Kiss her! Kiss her..." Everyone started to cheer!

Just as Lin Jie hesitated, he suddenly felt darkness before his eyes and something soft and sweet sealed his lips...

The next day, Lin Jie woke up to find it was already past ten!

Recalling last night's events, it seemed he got too emotional, drank two glasses of red wine, and then...

He couldn't remember what happened afterward.

For the first time, Lin Jie felt a little annoyed with his sensitivity to alcohol.

Thinking that today was Thursday and there were still a lot of things to be dealt with, Lin Jie couldn't reminisce about the previous day and hurriedly got out of bed to get busy...

At twelve thirty in the afternoon, Lin Jie and Zhang Xiaoxiao arrived at Binhai University Medical School half an hour early.

In the school office, he saw many students who had received notification and were waiting there.

"Everyone, the research project on cerebral arteriovenous exchange has been approved."

Lin Jie said straightforwardly, "I hope all of you can participate in this project."

"However, I also do not want to see any delay in your individual study plans that I previously arranged..."

His eyes swept over everyone as he earnestly said, "If that's the case, you will become very tired."

"So, if anyone feels they cannot balance their energy, they can choose not to participate in this research project now, and I won't have any objections. I can assure you of that."

The office fell silent as everyone exchanged glances, and no one took the initiative to step forward and withdraw.

Lin Jie waited for two minutes, and seeing that no one still expressed a desire to exit, he nodded and said, "Tonight, I'll send each of you an email with a detailed project research schedule and your respective responsibilities!"

He then gestured to Zhang Xiaoxiao, introducing, "This is Zhang Xiaoxiao, my personal assistant."

"She will also be involved in the project, primarily handling administrative, logistical, and financial tasks."

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Xiaoxiao!"

Even though she had Lin Jie as a strong support, facing so many people with the lowest education among them being a graduate student from Binhai University, Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel nervous.

Just a brief self-introduction made sweat beads appear on her nose.

"The email Lin Jie will send you tonight will include my contact number!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao forced a smile and continued, "Tonight, you'll need to send me your bank account numbers. According to Lin Jie's arrangement, you will each receive a monthly project stipend of three thousand."

"Upon completion of the project, there will be additional allowances based on your individual performances."

As soon as Zhang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Song Licheng and Yan Beichen cracked smiles.

They were not like Tian Xiangyu and Huo Guangheng, who had salaries or military living expenses.

As pure Medical College students, this project stipend would undoubtedly ease a considerable amount of their living pressure...

Lin Jie picked up the conversation, saying, "The approved funding for this project is two million, which should be sufficient for our use..."

Song Licheng's eyes widened a bit.

He knew clearly that the requested funding for this project was one million.

Based on customary approval, he expected it to be approved for seven or eight hundred thousand, or even halved to fifty thousand would be a good result.

Unexpectedly, it doubled to an approval of two million.

Moreover, the approval speed was almost lightning-fast...

Song Licheng took a deep breath and thought to himself, events involving the teacher just can't be measured by common standards.

Lin Jie went over more project details and then checked the time, saying, "It's almost time for class, let's head to the classroom."

"Uh... Teacher Lin!"

Just as everyone was about to move, Gao Yanhong suddenly spoke up, saying, "Teacher Lin, last time you mentioned that whoever proposed the best solution would receive a reward from you."

"This thing... this thing..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie quickly apologized, "Sorry, it was my oversight, I forgot about it!"

"The proposals you submitted were all excellent, and they inspired me to come up with this project!"

Lin Jie directly said, "Overall, the solutions by Gao Yanhong and He Yimin are the best, and you two will receive my reward."

He then added, "One thing to clarify, although you collaborated as two people, you will only get one opportunity for a mistake exemption or to make a request."

"Thank you, teacher, we understand this!"

Gao Yanhong was very excited and eagerly asked, "Teacher, can I make a request now?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Unless it's urgent, it's better to wait a bit as our class time is approaching."

Gao Yanhong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was being impatient. It's not urgent and can wait."
