Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1013 - 977: Private Collection

Saturday morning at eight o'clock, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, Lin Jie's office.Sweeping his gaze over the bruised and battered faces of Song Licheng, Zeng Yang, and others, Lin Jie snorted coldly, angered, "You all are quite capable, aren't you? Fighting with classmates you see every day, very impressive!"

"Teacher, it's not our fault. They provoked us first, and they were the ones who started it."

Yan Beichen, whose left cheek bore three claw marks, argued indignantly, "After the graduation thesis defense, we were just gathering for a meal in a pleasant atmosphere."

"But midway, after Professor Chen left, they started sneering and deliberately picking fights."

Ma Hongmin, whose left eye was bruised, concurred, "Teacher, we had almost finished eating, but they intentionally ordered very expensive dishes and wine..."

"Not only that, but they also made snide remarks, saying that following you, we earned quite a lot, so we wouldn't mind spending on this treat."

Hearing their account, Lin Jie was also incensed.

However, the bit about making money was indeed true.

Lin Jie had earned quite a bit and was naturally generous with his students.

In addition to receiving a fixed monthly living allowance of three thousand yuan from Lin Jie, they also earned service fees ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan by participating in research projects and assisting in surgeries.

Zhao Fang, whose face was unscathed, whispered, "Teacher, Senior Brother Song couldn't bear it and just retorted a couple of times, which made them attack collectively, and then we started quarreling."

"That Xu Ye was the worst. He was the first to throw a punch at Senior Brother Song, and then..."

"And then everyone started fighting."

"It really was them who started it first. We can all testify to that."

Lin Jie looked toward Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, Gao Yanhong, and He Yimin.

All of them were also injured, especially Guo Peng, whose one eye was so swollen that he couldn't open his eyelid, yet he stood straight, chin up, as if those injuries were a badge of honor.

"What about you four? You're all soldiers, why were you involved?"

Guo Peng shouted, "Teacher, they outnumbered us and were unreasonable, bullying one or two people at a time. We couldn't just stand by and watch our junior brothers and sisters being bullied."

Lin Jie glanced over at Tian Xiangyu, Xiao Ganghao, and Fang Huanru, who was wearing a mask, huddled in the back, and angrily said, "You three are the oldest there and should be the calmest, couldn't you step in to stop it?"

Tian Xiangyu chuckled awkwardly, "Teacher, we had also had a bit to drink and were infuriated by their shameless words, especially seeing them even hit our junior sister."

"Teacher, they knocked out one of Junior Sister Fang's front teeth..."

"We all got impulsive..."

Hearing their justifications one after another, Lin Jie was speechless.

He was only relieved that this major brawl involving thirty to forty people at Jingqiu Building of Binhai University only resulted in superficial injuries and no bone fractures or more serious harm.

This made Lin Jie silently curse, this bunch of bastards, worthy of being top medical students, even fought with restraint, clearly not drinking to the point of losing all reason.

Yan Beichen said indignantly, "Teacher, they are full of jealousy and resentment, psychologically extremely unbalanced."

"Teacher, if you had been there and heard their infuriating sarcastic remarks, you wouldn't have been able to resist jumping up and slapping them."

"Damn it..."

Lu Xiaoyu, usually quite cultured, spat out a curse and said, "At that time, we all had the same opportunity, but they didn't value it and gave it up."

"Now they just target us one by one."

"Exactly..."

"A bunch of petty people!"

Seeing the trend turning into a collective condemnation, Lin Jie angrily slammed his desk, shouting, "Enough, everyone shut up."

Instantly, the office fell silent, and Lin Jie sternly scanned over them, snorting, "This matter, I'll deal with you all after the university's investigation concludes."

"As for what I assigned earlier, besides the appendectomy transplantation project handled by Fang Huanru and others, and the development of the inducer monitored by Huo Guangheng, has everyone handed over their patients and tasks?"

"All arranged!"

"Teacher, I'm completely free now!"

"Teacher, just tell us if you need anything!"

Lin Jie raised a hand to stop their chatter, saying, "A few days ago, I just applied for a research project."

"Song Licheng knows about this. The details of the research project, Song Licheng, you'll explain to them later."

"Yes, Teacher!" Song Licheng replied earnestly.

"This project has received major support from the National Health Commission, with an initial funding of eighteen million."

"Wow, that much!"

"Such a big project!"

Lin Jie ignored the amazed whispers of Yan Beichen, Ma Hongmin, and others, continuing, "In addition, we received a five million sponsorship from the Zhou Family of Binhai Traditional Chinese Medicine, a two million euro sponsorship from German Morris Precision Medical Equipment, and a ten million support from the military."

As Lin Jie announced number after number, Fang Huanru, Guo Peng, and others became excited and expectant.

They understood that with nearly half a billion in funding secured even before the research project officially began, it was enough to prove the significant importance of this research project.

Lin Jie continued, "Don't be fooled by how much project funding there seems to be; when it's actually put to use, it might not even be enough."

"The small annex next to the comprehensive building is undergoing a major renovation, did you all know that?"

Seeing Tian Xiangyu, Song Licheng, and others nodding, Lin Jie continued, "Starting tomorrow, various cancer patients from the military will be moving in there gradually."

"They are all experimental patients for this research project."

"Soon, go to Jian Jia to get the patients' medical records."

"I have assigned who is responsible for each patient. My first requirement is that you have three days to interact with the patients and understand their conditions and lives."

Lin Jie said solemnly, "This understanding must be thorough, knowing all the details, understand?"

"Understood!" everyone shouted in unison!

Lin Jie then gave a dismissive wave of his hand, saying, "If you understand, then quickly leave, I don't want to see you right now."

"Goodbye, teacher!"

Everyone joked and laughed as they bid farewell to Lin Jie, then poured out of the office interior.

"Good morning, mentor!"

"Hello, mentor!"

Upon hearing the greeting, Lin Jie just stood up and saw Chen Shi push open the office door and walk in.

After Jian Jia served hot tea, Lin Jie asked, "About last night's fight?"

Chen Shi nodded, eyeing Lin Jie, and sighed, "My feelings are complicated now. I wonder whether I should regret or feel honored for getting you to be a teacher because of my lazy intentions back then!"

Lin Jie recalled that the reason he agreed to Chen Shi's request was merely to organize the chaotic knowledge in his mind, not expecting that it would lead him deeper into the path of teaching and educating.

He didn't address Chen Shi's topic but instead asked, "How does the school's academy intend to handle it?"

Chen Shi softly replied, "Although it was a fight involving dozens of people, no one was hospitalized, and the consequences are under control. The academy's view is that as long as the damage to the school's Jingqiu Building is compensated, a light punishment should suffice."

Lin Jie lightly responded and started to quietly sip tea with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi put down his tea cup slowly and said, "A competitive spirit has arisen in me. Although I might not be your equal in medical skills, having been a teacher for decades, losing to you in teaching and nurturing would be hard to justify."

"I've also been secretly working harder, sparing no effort in guiding Yu Jingsheng, Ding Ye, Xu Ye, Qian Wen, and the others."

Chen Shi sighed deeply and said, "Yet reality delivered me a harsh slap."

"Song Licheng, Zeng Yang, Yan Beichen, Ma Hongmin, and Zhao Fang have been showered with praise during their internship at the affiliated hospital."

"I've also been quietly monitoring them."

"In diagnosing and assessing conditions, they match the skills of seasoned doctors, and in treatment and techniques, they have made considerable contributions and have unique insights."

"Compared to the constant mistakes made by those I mentored during their internships, the difference is stark."

"In research..."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Not to mention the doctoral theses of Song Licheng and Zeng Yang, even Zhao Fang's master's thesis holds substantial value."

"In contrast, when looking at theirs..."

"In my frustration, I directly required major revisions to Yu Jingsheng, Ding Ye, and others' theses, delaying their graduation by half a semester."

"This might have caused Yu Jingsheng, Ding Ye, and others to have mixed feelings during last night's celebration, leading to them handling the situation inappropriately, thus sparking the brawl."

Lin Jie hadn't expected such a backstory behind the group fight.

Chen Shi reflected, "The underlying issue is not only their reaction to the accomplishments of Song Licheng, Zeng Yang, and others and their promising futures, but also them becoming imbalanced and filled with jealousy."

Speaking with a tone of self-reproach, he added, "My heart, too, is a bit confused."

"While there are shortcomings in the theses of Yu Jingsheng, Ding Ye, and others, they could have still passed the graduation defense."

Faced with Chen Shi's self-reflection, Lin Jie didn't know what to say and just listened quietly.

After a long conversation during which tea was sipped slowly, Chen Shi stood up, looked at Lin Jie, and said, "No matter what, your emergence is a blessing for the An family, the Medical College, and the affiliated medical institution, as well as our country's medical field."

"You have already changed many people and will continue to change more."

"Lin Jie, keep working hard, don't become arrogant!"

Chen Shi gave Lin Jie a firm pat on the shoulder and left with large strides...

Shortly after nine o'clock, An Kexin, An Kemeng, Lin Miao, Zou Manqing, along with Du Feixue holding a reflector and Kang Rui carrying a large camera, all arrived at Lin Jie's office.

Seeing An Kexin in a white nurse's cap and trench coat, Lin Jie curiously asked, "That nurse's cap is clearly not of the affiliated hospital's style, is it?"

Du Feixue yelled loudly, "Kexin, take off the trench coat, let Lin Jie see what temptation is!"

An Kexin gave her a sidelong glance, yet still took off the trench coat.

Lin Jie's eyes widened immediately.

High heels, stockings, ultra-short nurse skirt, a fitted top with a deep V neckline.

Her naturally straight and well-proportioned legs appeared even longer in the high heels that accentuated her legs.

The alluring cleavage, teasing one to explore further...

Lin Jie gulped, quickly stepping forward to drape the trench coat back on An Kexin, scolding, "Private collection, not for public display!"
