"Brother, you're working this late again!"

On the phone screen, Lin Miao's little face appeared, pouting and looking rather displeased.

"It's not that late. I even took a nap in the evening."

After a quick explanation, Lin Jie reminded, "Miaomiao, you don't have to wait for me every day. Just rest as usual once you get home. There's nothing to worry about here."

"How can I not worry?"

Lin Miao huffed and suddenly said, "Brother, it just occurred to me after coming back that all the stuff we brought, including our Chinese medicine and your anti-rejection medication, got washed away by the flood."

"Have you been taking your medicine these past few days?"

Lin Jie sarcastically replied, "Are you silly? I'm at a field hospital now, acting as its temporary director. It's easy to get any medicine I need."

"Speaking of Chinese medicine, don't forget to go to the Zhou Family's herbal shop tomorrow to get some more brewed."

Lin Miao nodded, "I know, there are also some documents we need to replace. I'll see if I can replace the documents you lost as well."

"Tell Brother Kong to help out, he should be able to assist."

Lin Jie continued, "Alright, let's end today's call here. You should get some sleep."

"Hey..."

He suddenly thought of something and pretended to be very concerned, asking, "How's Xiaoxiao's father? What's going on with him?"

Lin Miao immediately looked angry, saying, "Xiaoxiao said Uncle Zhang is infuriating, acting like it's a major injury when it's just a minor one, as if he got run over by a truck."

"He's trying to gain sympathy, trying to get money from Xiaoxiao."

"Brother, why is there such a big difference between parents?"

Lin Jie laughed, "There are good people and bad people in the world, so naturally, there are good parents and bad parents. It's late at night, you should sleep. Hmm, Miaomiao, let Xiaoxiao sleep with you."

Lin Miao shook her head, saying, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me being scared. Lele is with me!"

"Lele, come over and say hi to brother..."

Lele's big mouth appeared on the phone screen.

"Hang up and go to sleep quickly!" Lin Jie urged!

Lin Miao's face appeared again on the phone screen, and she sounded displeased, "Hmph, I know you're in a hurry to make me sleep because you want to talk to Kexin."

"Be content that I contacted you first. Really hanging up now!"

Lin Jie disconnected from Lin Miao and then dialed An Kexin's video call.

The video connected quickly, and An Kexin's expressive face appeared on the screen.

"Ah Jie, Dad was really shocked to see both Kemeng and me using crutches when he picked us up at the airport. Without a word, he took us straight to the University Affiliated Hospital for a detailed checkup."

"How were the results?" Lin Jie inquired.

"My right foot is just severely sprained; it'll be fine after a few days of rest. Kemeng's foot is slightly inflamed, but it's nothing serious. We've reapplied medication and bandaged it again."

Lin Jie nodded and asked, "How is Uncle An?"

An Kexin sighed and said, "When Dad picked us up at the airport, the first thing I noticed was that he'd colored his hair."

"I quietly asked my uncle, and he said that on the night he heard about the earthquake, until he received our call, Dad was restless and uneasy."

"His hair started to turn gray and white almost right before his eyes..."

As she spoke, An Kexin's eyes became red and teary again.

For a moment, Lin Jie didn't know what to say or how to comfort her, so he just stayed with her silently.

An Kexin wiped her eyes with a tissue and a smile reappeared on her face, "We had dinner with my uncle's family. Kemeng vividly and dramatically described the perilous experiences of that night."

"I realized that Kemeng actually has the talent for storytelling."

"Even as someone who personally went through it, hearing her recount the experience was incredibly thrilling, it could be used as material for a disaster movie."

Recalling that night once again, Lin Jie, still with lingering fear, said, "It truly was a thrilling night."

"Indeed, it was very dangerous!"

An Kexin exclaimed, with a blissful expression, "Both Dad and Uncle said that only in the most critical moments do you see true feelings and understand people's hearts. In such circumstances, your unwavering support for me shows that you're genuinely good to me, and you're someone worthy of entrusting my life to."

Lin Jie smiled gently and modestly said, "If I were in your situation, I believe you would do the same."

"Hey, Kexin, let me tell you something important. I've recruited a talent for Anlin Hospital!"

"What kind of talent?" An Kexin asked eagerly.

Lin Jie then gave a general account of Fang Jianbin and continued, "Because of this incident, he was ordered to change his line of work and got demoted several levels, switching to a lieutenant rank."

"I saw his good management skills and trusted him because of his military background, so I offered him the position of vice president at Anlin Hospital."

"He said he needed to think about it and discuss it with his wife, but from his tone and demeanor, he seemed interested."

"Ah Jie, I don't like this person!" An Kexin said firmly.

Surprised, Lin Jie asked, "Why? Is it because I didn't discuss it with you first?"

"Or do you want to manage Anlin Hospital yourself in the future?"

He awkwardly explained, "I just thought that talents are hard to come by, so I impulsively extended the offer."

"I also thought that with the matters of the company and charity fund needing your attention, having someone to help share the load would be good."

An Kexin shook her head, saying, "Ah Jie, it's not your fault."

"The people you recommended, Ling Mengjiao and Yang Leyi, have commendable character and work ability, which shows your great skills in assessing people."

"If you say this Colonel Fang is talented, then he surely is."

"I don't like him because he openly defied orders and put you in danger."

Upon hearing the reason, Lin Jie felt pleased and comfortable.

He defended Fang Jianbin, saying, "Kexin, although Fang Jianbin disobeyed military orders in this matter, it also shows he's a man of integrity and responsibility."

"Think about it, if he had followed orders without regard for his wife's safety and well-being, showing no action, would you dare to use such a person?"

"Besides, when I got there, there was absolutely no danger."

"With dozens of military police surrounding the criminals, it would be crazy if I were in danger."

An Kexin thought for a moment, lightly nodded, and said, "What you're saying makes sense."

"But knowing that you were a pawn in his plan makes me uncomfortable and unable to like him."

Lin Jie laughed, "If you imagine me as someone else in this situation, you'd think Fang Jianbin did the right thing."

An Kexin grunted, "I can't imagine that."

After pondering for a moment, she said, "Ah Jie, you should warn him that he has offended me."

"If in the future he doesn't work hard enough or doesn't perform satisfactorily as the vice president of Anlin Hospital, I'll have no hesitation in firing him."

Lin Jie smiled confidently, "His ability won't disappoint you."

Just then, Lin Jie heard the sound of a door opening through his phone, followed by An Kemeng's voice, "Sister, I can't sleep, I want to sleep with you."

"Oh, are you talking to Brother Jie?"

Soon, An Kemeng, wearing pink pig pajamas, appeared in the video call, "Brother Jie, you're not asleep yet?"

"I will sleep soon. Kemeng, are you scared being alone?"

"I'm not scared..."

An Kemeng stubbornly insisted, "I'm not afraid at all, I just like sleeping with my sister."

Lin Jie knew that An Kexin would handle the situation properly and didn't continue this topic, having a casual chat before ending the call...

The next day, Lin Jie clearly felt that the number of patients admitted to the field hospital was rapidly decreasing.

The entire day, he only performed two major surgeries, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Lin Jie also received news that some nearby roads had been completely cleared. Starting tomorrow, the field hospital will begin transferring the admitted patients to local hospitals.

At the same time, some military doctors from the field hospital, along with a few supporting medical teams, will form squads to go deep into the disaster area to conduct post-disaster epidemic prevention and publicity work.

This indicates that the focus of the field hospital's work in the disaster area has entered the next phase...
