Early Wednesday morning, Lin Jie arrived at the inpatient department of the University Affiliated Hospital's plastic surgery unit for a pre-surgery routine check-up on Cui Shanshan and found Wei Xin in the room with him.

Lin Jie reviewed Cui Shanshan's latest physical examination data and confirmed, "Cui Shanshan, in half an hour, you'll be undergoing throat and vocal cord surgery, as well as a breast augmentation."

"You must understand that once this surgery begins, there's practically no turning back. Have you really made up your mind?"

Cui Shanshan nodded forcefully and said, "I've waited nearly twenty years for this day. Expert Lin, I can hardly wait."

Lin Jie no longer elaborated, stating, "Let me reconfirm the surgical plan: After today's surgery, in two to three weeks, you will undergo facial cosmetic surgery and trial surgery."

"After another two to three weeks of recovery, the final gender transformation surgery will take place..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin frowned and said, "Why does it take so long!"

"Lin Jie, can't the surgeries be done all at once? This isn't suffering repeatedly?"

Cui Shanshan tugged at Wei Xin's hand and softly said, "Sister Xin, this is considered a short time."

"I've consulted several places, surgeries like mine usually need four to six months."

Wei Xin appeared somewhat enlightened but questioned again, "Lin Jie, it takes at least four months elsewhere. How come it takes only one to two months here with you?"

Lin Jie was somewhat impressed by this cousin's persistence.

Complaining the time is too long, then asking why it's so short now.

He patiently and confidently explained, "That's because I am Lin Jie, capable of achieving the desired surgical results with minimal damage."

"The same surgery, when performed by others, requires a month for the patient's recovery level, but under my hands, it takes just half a month."

"Moreover, Cui Shanshan's physical condition is quite good. This surgical density is bearable for his body."

After saying this, Lin Jie left the room, leaving the preoperative preparations and the pushing into the operating room to the nurses.

"Lin Jie!"

Hearing the call, Lin Jie turned around to see Wei Xin catching up, and she sincerely said, "Thank you! Thank you for waiving most of Shanshan's expenses. He's really worked hard these past years to save for the surgery costs."

Lin Jie casually replied, "No need to thank me!"

"After all, he counts as my test surgery subject; reducing the fee is justified."

"Even so, if you hadn't relieved a penny, the surgery would still have to be done."

Wei Xin earnestly said, "So, this favor, both Shanshan and I will remember."

"Hmm…"

She handed Lin Jie a business card, saying, "Lin Jie, I've opened a small cosmetics store. All the cosmetics are genuine. If you and Miaomiao need any, I'll provide them for free."

Lin Jie glanced at the business card and perfunctorily replied, "Oh, if needed, I'll come by."

Wei Xin continued, "Shanshan is a stylist, a very talented one. For important occasions' attire, shoes, accessories, hairstyles, makeup, she can handle it all."

"Moreover, she can organize existing wardrobes based on a person's professional traits, interpersonal interactions, and personal preferences, and offer long-term dressing and clothing purchase advice…"

Lin Jie, a bit impatient, said, "All these things are covered by my sister and girlfriend; no need…"

"You might not need it, but your friends could…"

Wei Xin persistently said, "Due to her situation, Shanshan only takes a few jobs from her circle of friends and does freelance work at TV stations, assisting makeup artists and stylists."

"Lin Jie, you're connected at a high level; your friends…"

Hearing this, Lin Jie was exasperated and said, "Wei Xin, there's less than half an hour before I enter the operating room for surgery, isn't it inappropriate to discuss this now?"

Lin Jie no longer paid attention to Wei Xin and walked away briskly…

The so-called reputation precedes the man, Lin Jie has proven to be a 'surgical maestro' with several operations.

This surgery, not only had plastic surgery department doctors without current duties come to observe and learn, but also, upon hearing the news, doctors from other departments rushed in.

The observation deck outside the operating room was quickly filled, and those who came later could only stand.

Cui Shanshan is undergoing a highly private cosmetic surgery, allowing other doctors to observe, which is one of the reasons his medical costs were significantly reduced.

The many doctors on the observation deck saw Lin Jie step up to the operating position, took the scalpel from the surgical nurse, and directly made an incision at the patient's chest area…

"Ah, why just make an incision like that?"

Seeing this scene, several young doctors on the observation deck couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, whispering, "Why not draw lines? Why not make marks?"

"With a single cut, the skin on the chest will deform to varying degrees. If you don't draw lines or make marks, if there's asymmetry in the augmentation, this... this..."

A doctor in his fifties, his face darkened, sternly exclaimed, "Nonsense!"

At this sound, several of the young doctors who had spoken shuddered and instantly fell silent.

The middle-aged doctor was satisfied with the effect of his words, scanned the crowd, and said, "At the level of Expert Lin, do you think he still needs to draw lines for surgical marks?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that Expert Lin's eyes are comparable to X-ray machines, comparable to laser instruments. Once he sees the various physiological and physical data of a patient, it's already engraved in his mind..."

"There will be no errors in Expert Lin's surgeries. If you don't believe it, just watch carefully and see..."

Upon hearing this, many doctors nodded lightly in agreement, but there were still some young doctors with doubt in their eyes...

For Lin Jie, breast augmentation surgery doesn't require much technical content at all!

For other cosmetic surgeons performing such surgery, the most time-consuming part is the adjustment and stabilization of the implants.

However, every cut and every step Lin Jie takes is exceptionally precise, akin to a highly programmed precision robot. The part that takes him the most time is the suturing.

To reduce scarring and enhance cosmetic results, careful and meticulous suturing of the chest is required.

Even so, fifteen minutes later, a breast augmentation surgery that would take other doctors at least half an hour or even longer was declared completed.

Amid the astonishment of many observing doctors, Lin Jie moved slightly and began a vocal cord and Adam's apple removal surgery on Cui Shanshan...

Just then, the middle-aged doctor suddenly heard a "click... click..." sound of a shutter.

He turned his head and saw a young doctor holding up a phone, taking pictures of the patient on the operating table.

The middle-aged doctor immediately grew angry and said, "You! Who are you? From which department? Don't you know the hospital doesn't allow photography of patients' sensitive areas?"

The young doctor turned to meet the middle-aged doctor's gaze and politely said, "Hello, senior!"

"I'm this month's resident physician in training from Sunan University Medical School. My phone has data analysis software."

"The photos are to analyze whether this renowned Expert Lin is truly as formidable as you claim, capable of making no noticeable errors."

The middle-aged doctor snorted coldly and said, "Still hitting a brick wall without turning back. How about you share your analysis results with us?"

The young doctor lowered his head to operate his phone, and immediately he gasped, saying in surprise, "Height error of 0.5 millimeters, baseline error of 0.2 millimeters..."

"These are errors that can't be detected by the naked eye!"

"Impressive, really impressive, I'm convinced, truly convinced!"

The middle-aged doctor snorted forcefully and said, "For three consecutive nights, with just a stethoscope, he cleared out the emergency department's patients without a single misdiagnosis."

"If someone like that didn't have an incredibly precise visual acuity to aid him, how could he possibly do that?"

Upon hearing this, the young doctor remembered another legend and record about Lin Jie.

He also heard that many people wanted to go to the emergency department to challenge Lin Jie by clearing the patients, but so far, no one has succeeded.

"Senior, I shouldn't have questioned authority. I'll humbly learn from Expert Lin in the future!"

The young doctor apologized on the surface, but in his heart, he was somewhat indifferent. It's only by questioning authority and daring to doubt that one can make progress.

The middle-aged doctor looked at the young doctor's facial expression, shook his head slightly, and said, "You no longer have the opportunity!"

"You deliberately violated the hospital's rules by photographing the patient. I will propose to the hospital's internship and residency management department to have you dismissed."

The young doctor immediately turned pale with fright and said, "Senior, senior, you can't do this. It was just a small mistake, unintentional, really unintentional..."

"Even if I'm wrong, the punishment shouldn't be as severe as dismissal!"

The middle-aged doctor stood up and said loudly, "I think many here are aware that Expert Lin's requirements for students are only twofold: diligence and self-discipline!"

"There's no need to talk about diligence. What is this self-discipline?"

The middle-aged doctor said emotionally, "It's quite easy to understand. Self-discipline is self-awareness without any supervision! But can each of us meet that requirement?"

"Frankly speaking, it's very difficult."

He pointed at the young doctor and said, "You dared to flagrantly violate the hospital's explicit rules, showing how poor your self-discipline is. Someone like you is not a training candidate for the hospital..."

What happened in the observation deck was naturally beyond Lin Jie's awareness as he focused his heart and mind.

Over two hours later, Lin Jie left the operating room, only to see a middle-aged doctor striding towards him.

This person, Lin Jie recognized as Hou Jianxiu, the director of the University Affiliated Hospital's emergency department.
