On the morning of the 15th of August, at Binhai International Airport.

Lin Jie led Tian Xiangyu, Xiao Ganghao, and others to the exit, only to find a striking banner.

"Warmly welcome the great hero Lin Jie home!"

He saw An Weize, Chen Shi, the An sisters, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Qin Gang, Ling Mengjiao, Zou Manqing, Yu Momo, and others standing under the banner.

"Brother Jie, flowers for the hero, these are for you!"

Lin Jie took a large bouquet of flowers from An Kemeng, who hurried over to welcome him, and asked with a smile, "Who organized this scene?"

"I did. How is it? Do you like it?" An Kemeng flaunted proudly.

Lin Jie reached out and patted her on the head, ruffling her hair, and said, "I thought so, this is not something an adult could organize."

"The banner even says 'home with triumph.' I just came back from the disaster relief site, okay?"

"Oh, come on, you successfully treated so many injured people and saved so many lives. How is that not a triumph?" An Kemeng argued defiantly.

Lin Jie didn't continue to entangle the issue and looked down to see her wearing flip-flops, asking, "Is your foot healed?"

An Kemeng wiggled her dainty toes, humming, "How many days has it been, and it's already healed."

With An Kemeng leading, Lin Jie walked closer to everyone, tossed the bouquet to Lin Miao, and said, "Uncle An, Professor Chen, you personally came to pick me up, I'm really flattered."

An Weize looked Lin Jie up and down first, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just for your unwavering support to Kexin and your insistence on staying in the disaster zone to save lives, not just coming to the airport to welcome you, but even personally driving to pick you up from the disaster zone would be justified."

Chen Shi also praised, "Lin Jie, well done, we didn't misjudge you."

Leaning on a single crutch, An Kexin smiled and said, "Let's talk at home. Ah Jie must be tired."

"Yes, let's go home first, go home first!" An Weize agreed.

Lin Jie turned to the people following him, Tian Xiangyu, Huo Guangheng, and others, and instructed, "You guys go back to school first, take a good rest these two days, and return to class on Thursday!"

"Yes, teacher!" Tian Xiangyu and the others replied in unison.

An Kexin said, "A minibus has been arranged to take you back to school."

A few guys yelled mischievously, "Thank you, teacher's wife, thank you, teacher's wife..."

Everyone boarded several small cars and left the airport.

Lin Jie, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and An Kexin rode in a Phaeton car, with Qin Gang driving.

Lin Miao looked carefully at Lin Jie's face and said with concern, "Brother, you've become darker and thinner!"

Lin Jie touched his face, somewhat helplessly saying, "Darker, maybe a bit. But I haven't lost weight. I've checked my weight, and it's the same as before."

Sitting in the passenger seat, An Kexin turned her head to look Lin Jie over, then nodded, "Indeed, you've gotten a bit darker. When someone gets darker, they just look thinner."

"But it's good that you came back safely. Now that you're back, we can sleep soundly."

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded heavily and said, "I still sometimes dream of the situation that night, waking up in a cold sweat. Ah Jie, with you back in Binhai, it's a completely different feeling than you being in the disaster area."

"Seeing you, I really feel a sense of relief."

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lin Jie held Lin Miao's little hand beside him and asked, "Has the psychological counseling been effective?"

Lin Miao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's okay, didn't feel any immediate effect. But, talking to outsiders about what happened that night and my fears felt rather good."

"Lin Jie..."

At this moment, Qin Gang, who was driving, spoke apologetically, "I'm sorry, if I had been there this time too..."

"Qin Gang, no need to apologize!"

Lin Jie interrupted him and said, "Such disasters are not something we can foresee."

"Facing the power of nature, we are indeed too small. Even if you were with us, the situation wouldn't have been much better."

"And fortunately, we're all alive and well!"

He thought of something and asked, "Has Yang Leyi's morning sickness ended?"

Qin Gang replied seriously, "It's almost over. Now, as long as she doesn't smell any particularly unpleasant odors when eating, she generally won't vomit."

"That's good."

Lin Jie further instructed, "Qin Gang, I need you to take two brothers and make a trip to the vicinity of Bamboo Sea National Village to find something for me."

"Brother, why go back there? Did you forget something important?" Lin Miao asked curiously.

Lin Jie shook his head, "I didn't forget, just want Qin Gang to find something, just in case..."

Everyone returned to Xiangtai Apartment together.

Lin Jie first took a refreshing bath, then changed into his own clothes.

He came to the living room and roughly recounted his experiences over the past few days to An Weize, Chen Shi, and others.

An Weize sighed and said, "It seems like we're entering a period of frequent earthquakes now. Every year, there's news of an earthquake somewhere. I didn't expect the intensity this year to be so great, and even more so, I didn't expect you all would encounter it."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the faces of An Kexin, An Kemeng, Lin Jie, and others, "No matter what, the fact that you're all safe and sound now is the greatest blessing."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao walked over and said, "The banquet ordered from the restaurant has arrived; let's eat and chat at the same time..."

After lunch, Qin Gang, Ling Mengjiao, Zou Manqing, and others bid farewell and left,

while An Weize and Chen Shi stayed behind to continue discussing some matters.

Lin Jie learned that An Weize, on behalf of the company, donated over two million yuan worth of medical supplies, such as infusion tubes and syringes, to the disaster areas.

An Weize took a sip of water and said, "In the past couple of days, I've had several phone conversations with Colonel Fang, and I find his personal abilities quite impressive."

"Ah Jie, you've brought another strong figure to the hospital. This way, Kexin's workload will be significantly reduced, and your wedding plans can be expedited."

"Dad..."

An Kexin softly called out, saying, "No matter how we speed it up, we still have to wait for Ah Jie to graduate next year and for the hospital to open."

She quickly changed the topic, saying, "Colonel Fang can probably report to Binhai in mid to late September. This way, it coincides perfectly with our campus recruitment plan."

An Kexin explained, "Generally speaking, the peak period for recruiting fresh graduates is at the end of the year and the beginning of the next. Considering Binhai's situation, after consulting with Dean Gong, we decided to start campus recruitment earlier."

"Ah Jie, what do you think?"

Lin Jie casually replied, "It's up to you to decide."

"However, I've heard that it's quite easy to break the campus employment agreement. Aren't you worried that even if we sign a lot of people, they'll eventually break the contract one by one?"

An Kexin snorted, saying, "Naturally, there are countermeasures. As long as they sign, they'll receive a signing bonus and monthly living allowances."

"If they dare to breach the contract, they'll need to pay a penalty ten to a hundred times the signing bonus."

Chen Shi chuckled and said, "Lin Jie, don't underestimate your influence!"

"For freshly graduated medical students, the first ten years of work are about continuous learning and gaining experience. Once your name is well-known, and your role at Anlin Hospital is mentioned..."

He confidently said, "These graduates will be crying and begging Anlin Hospital to take them in. After all, for them, learning is the most important thing."

"Following a world-class doctor to learn is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

An Kexin proudly took Lin Jie's hand and said, "It's just that this year's situation is unique, with intense competition."

"According to the information I got, several hospitals like Phoenix Mountain Hospital and Tongren Hospital West Branch will offer considerable benefits to attract medical graduates."

"Our plan to start campus recruitment in October is to seize the chance to lock in outstanding graduates. With Ah Jie's strong appeal and relatively favorable salaries and benefits, we are taking a dual approach."

The conversation then shifted to Lin Jie being conscripted by the military.

An Weize and Chen Shi carefully reviewed the conscription order and the guarantee document.

They exchanged a glance, and An Weize said, "The people behind this matter are beyond our reach. We can only ask the Fu Family patriarch for some information."

He pointed to the signature on the guarantee document, "Old Master Fu said he personally confirmed with this leader, who said this matter is not a bad thing for you."

Chen Shi continued, "Lin Jie, you don't need to worry too much about this. Don't forget, the deepest impression people have of you is your astonishing surgical skills."

"This 'one cut hell, one cut heaven' saying is not just a saying for nothing."

He confidently added, "To avoid making you resentful and thus less dedicated in surgery, they won't force you to do something you don't want to do."

Lin Jie agreed with Chen Shi's statement.

For instance, in a brain tumor surgery, whether the tumor is completely removed, leaves a little, or leaves more depends solely on Lin Jie's choice.

The surgical outcomes vary, causing postoperative life expectancy to fluctuate between one or two years, five or six years, or even longer.

While doing so compromises medical ethics, if someone is unreasonable and doesn't follow the rules, Lin Jie might have to compromise on ethics.

Setting aside concerns about conscription, Lin Jie asked, "About the Capital City's Ma Family child, are there any rumors in Binhai?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Currently, we haven't heard any rumors."

"Yesterday, I found an opportunity to visit the Zhou Family patriarch. He was also involved in the Ma Family child's consultation."

"The Zhou Family patriarch asked me to tell you that he's very pleased that a modern medical expert of your caliber appeared in Binhai."

"He's not bothered by those rumors and gossip from the Capital City, and he hopes you won't be either."

"Diagnosing and curing the Ma Family child's illness is also his wish."
