Chapter 1161 - 1120: An Endless Stream
The spacious front courtyard of Anlin Hospital had pathways kept clear for vehicle and personnel access, as well as an emergency road for ambulances, while the rest of the area was covered with shade shelters, beneath which rattan chairs and tables were neatly arranged for the guests to rest.Vehicles carrying guests could park in the underground parking lot or behind the main building.
For Anlin Hospital now, the available land was quite vast.
After getting out of the car, Lin Jie and An Kexin, along with Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and Yuanyuan, walked into the main hall and saw staff busy at the guest sign-in area by the entrance.
Lin Jie also spotted a familiar person in a Four Seas Bank uniform at the sign-in area.
Due to the close relationship with the Fu Family and Four Seas Bank, the main corporate financial accounts for Anlin's series of projects were opened at Four Seas Bank.
Given the large number of guests offering congratulations today, with generous gifts, they had Four Seas Bank personnel on-site to handle the monetary gifts directly.
Lin Jie walked over and greeted, "Hello, Manager Ni Can, long time no see!"
"Expert Lin, it truly has been a long time!"
Ni Can said excitedly, "I didn't expect you would still remember me!"
Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "How could I not remember? I should thank you for recommending the shops and real estate at the Four Seas Bank reception gala. I haven't received your call since; I hope the vice president didn't trouble you afterward?"
Ni Can laughed quietly, "Thank you for your concern, Expert Lin! You are one of our most esteemed clients at Four Seas Bank; the vice president is a smart person and wouldn't do something foolish."
"That's good!"
Lin Jie glanced at the three women and one man standing neatly behind Ni Can and asked, "Are you in charge of the work here?"
Ni Can nodded and said, "Yes, I'm in charge here."
"These four cashiers were specially selected from the business department, and they are guaranteed to be fast and accurate. When we leave, an armored car will pick us up, ensuring security."
Lin Jie smiled at them and recalled something, advising, "Manager Ni, if, just if, you come across any counterfeit bills, please do not tell the guests directly. Instead, summarize and report it to us later."
Ni Can gently replied, "Understood, we will handle it properly!"
The first-floor lobby, including the connected waiting and emergency hall, was about three to four hundred square meters in size.
After an overnight emergency arrangement, a sizable reception area was sectioned off near the entrance with greenery.
The rest of the area was also divided into resting zones of varying sizes with plants, allowing guests to converse with acquaintances.
Lin Jie and An Kexin entered the reception area and greeted everyone who had arrived here earlier.
"Dean Cheng, Dean Wang, Dean Shang…"
Lin Jie looked at the dozen or so deans surrounding him and An Kexin and said, "You arrived even earlier than I, the host. Could it be that you are still concerned about the allocation of the spots?"
Cheng Xingguang held his chest, looking eagerly at Lin Jie, and said, "With so many wolves and so little meat, we've been anxious since the matter hasn't been settled."
"Just now, Dean Gong took us on a tour of Anlin Hospital and we found a problem; you still need a laboratory building."
Cheng Xingguang gestured widely and said, "We fifteen deans discussed and decided to jointly fund the construction of a laboratory building as a congratulatory gift for Anlin Hospital's opening."
"Of course, besides the building, the interior should be equipped with tertiary-grade hospital lab equipment, and we will handle that too."
Lin Jie was taken aback.
This was not a small gesture.
A laboratory building costs about ten to twenty million, but the various lab equipment inside is expensive; fully equipped, it would cost at least a hundred million.
Fifteen hospitals, approximately ten million each.
This opening gift was indeed a very generous one.
Exchanging a glance with An Kexin, Lin Jie exclaimed, "The grand gesture of you deans leaves me at a loss for words."
"Since you're so generous, I'll be straightforward too! This year, each of your hospitals… fifteen spots…"
Upon hearing this number, Lin Jie noticed expressions of delight on the faces of Cheng Xingguang, Wang Yuansen, Fang Lianggong, and others.
He continued, "As for which hospital or hospitals for the exchange or further training, coordinate among yourselves and submit a final list to us."
Lin Jie then solemnly reminded, "I must emphasize this point to all you deans."
"Since these individuals will be representing Anlin Hospital abroad, please be careful in your selection."
"If any misconduct occurs abroad that severely impacts Anlin Hospital's reputation, I will hold you accountable, so don't blame me for disregarding relationships then."
Dean Lu of Xiehe Hospital represented everyone, stating, "Please rest assured, Expert Lin! The people we send will definitely be carefully selected."
"If they do not cherish this opportunity and disgrace the nation abroad, we will hold them severely accountable…"
Half an hour later, more and more guests came to offer their congratulations.
As the host of the hospital, Lin Jie stayed in the reception area, exchanging a few words with each of the congratulating guests.
An Weize, Gong Xuepeng, Fang Jianbin, and other shareholders of Anlin Hospital, such as Ye Hongqing and Xu Xingye, were also busy entertaining familiar guests.
"Congratulations! Congratulations, Expert Lin!"
Just after seeing off a few guests, Lin Jie noticed an energetic elderly man, accompanied by a middle-aged man, walking steadily towards him.
Behind them, two young men were carrying a plaque covered with a red cloth.
Lin Jie approached politely, saying, "Mr. Ma, thank you for coming!"
Mr. Ma said with emotion, "I should be the one thanking you, Expert Lin!"
"If it weren't for that night at Qushui Garden when you found out about my physical discomfort and advised me to go to the hospital promptly,"
"Now, I might have already gone to join those old friends."
Mr. Ma turned and pointed at the plaque, saying, "After reading numerous introductions about your achievements, Expert Lin, I felt inspired to write this humble piece."
"Presented to Expert Lin, I hope you won't disdain it."
Saying this, Mr. Ma reached out and pulled down the red cloth on the plaque, revealing a framed script of large calligraphy characters, "Great doctors strive for perfection."
Mr. Ma earnestly said, "A great doctor strives for perfection! In my view, this is the best portrayal of Expert Lin."
These characters were bold and vigorous, even though Lin Jie didn't know much about calligraphy, he could feel the grandeur of it.
This is indeed a fine piece of writing.
Lin Jie politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma, I really like this work."
"However, using this phrase to describe me is somewhat excessive. I am still far from being a 'great doctor.'
At this moment, in the guest area, Elder Zhou Yisan loudly said, "Not at all excessive."
"Based on Expert Lin pioneering a new therapy for tumors, giving hope to millions of cancer patients, based on Expert Lin discovering the microcurrent value, based on Expert Lin saving so many lives and always being enthusiastic about charity, you are undoubtedly a great doctor of our time!"
Accompanying Elder Zhou were two masters of traditional Chinese medicine from the Capital City, Sun Hexu and Yu Hongji.
They also spoke in unison, "Expert Lin contributes greatly to our era, deserving the name of a great doctor."
Lin Jie jested with a smile, "Aren't you three masters afraid of my tail sticking to the sky, not looking for progress now that you've praised me so much?"
Elder Zhou laughed heartily, saying, "If Expert Lin were so easily flattered, you wouldn't continuously produce groundbreaking research results that astonish the medical world."
After everyone praised Lin Jie, they left one after another, leaving the guest area for the subsequent guests.
Following them were medical professors and doctors like Chen Shi, Ren Maoshi, Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, and others from the Medical College and Affiliated Hospital.
After congratulating and exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Hao waved his phone at Lin Jie, saying, "Expert Lin, not sure if you've seen it?"
"Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Siselda from the United States, within half an hour, both posted information on Twitter and their personal websites."
"They pointed out that they have confirmed through multiple clinical trials, the new tumor inducer therapy by Expert Lin is clinically significant in the treatment and control of spinal neuromas, brain tumors, especially recurrent brain tumors."
"They also expressed congratulations on the opening of Anlin Hospital and look forward to you making more research contributions..."
After seeing off Chen Shi, Ren Maoshi, and others, An Kexin excitedly said, "Ah Jie, with the endorsement of those two authoritative experts in neurology from the United States, I'm sure the world's medical institutions will soon have a surge in demand for that inducer."
"The microcurrent meter and inducer should soon pass the approval of medical departments in various countries, right?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. The vested interests won't give up resisting so quickly, they'll always suppress it for a while."
"We don't need to rush, we can use this time to prepare for production."
An Kexin agreed, "Indeed, we don't need to rush, those who should be anxious are the patients in other countries."
She then lowered her voice, saying, "Ah Jie, I estimate that those who've been helped by you, the patients who've been treated by you, are likely to seize the opportunity of Anlin Hospital's opening to express their gratitude."
"Perhaps!"
Just after saying this, Lin Jie saw Nie Yuming and a slightly dark-skinned man walking in together.
Nie Yuming clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Expert Lin! Congratulations! Young Master Ye is busy with a contract abroad and cannot come personally; he specifically instructed me to apologize to you."
Lin Jie smiled, "Young Master Ye is also a hospital shareholder, no need to be so formal."
Nie Yuming then pointed to the man beside him, introducing, "Expert Lin, this is my friend Zheng Yuancheng, who flew in from the Middle East specifically to congratulate the opening of Anlin Hospital."
Zheng Yuancheng said slightly apologetically, "Expert Lin, hello! I hope the issue regarding the Sheikh hasn't caused you too much trouble."
Lin Jie waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about it, he is a patient, I am a doctor, it's not considered trouble."
"The Sheikh is recuperating in the hospital; Mr. Zheng, would you like to visit him?"
Zheng Yuancheng bluntly said, "Actually, I've never met that Sheikh in person. I hope this time I'll receive his permission to meet him..."
At this moment, An Weize came into the guest area, saying excitedly, "Ah Jie, Kexin, the staff from the government said the convoy of the leaders has already gotten onto the airport highway and will arrive in about one and a half hours."
