Chapter 1149 - 1108: Speculating on Ginseng

An Kexin returned to Xiangtai Apartment, and it was already close to eleven at night.She heated a cup of milk and brought it to the study, and sure enough, Lin Jie was staring blankly at several brain images on the large screen on the wall.

"A Jie, did you take a new patient?"

Lin Jie withdrew his gaze from the large display on the wall, turned around to take the milk from An Kexin's hand, and took a sip.

He rubbed his eyes and explained, "It's just a brain tumor image of a patient from the United Arab Emirates. It's unlikely I'll be handling it."

"Is it very difficult?"

Lin Jie nodded. He was about to raise his hand to point at the image and give a detailed explanation when he suddenly realized An Kexin wouldn't understand, so he simply said, "The tumor is too deep and extremely irregular in shape, making the chances of a successful surgery very small."

"I've been thinking about it for over two days and still can't come up with a suitable surgical plan."

An Kexin advised, "If you can't think of something for the moment, don't force it. Maybe at some point, a flash of wisdom will suddenly bring about a solution."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Inspiration doesn't come that easily."

"Did you just rush back from Anlin Hospital?"

Seeing An Kexin nod, he reached out and hugged her, saying, "Anlin Hospital is a bit far from here. If there's nothing special, just stay there overnight and rest."

An Kexin rubbed her cheek against Lin Jie's and laughed, "I'm so used to sleeping with you by my side that I can't sleep well alone."

"In the evening, I discussed with the department heads. Based on the current situation and the number of hospital beds, we made a projection for personnel needs in each department. The international exchange doctor demand form has been drafted."

"We expanded the demand a bit, with a total of one hundred and twelve positions, thirty of which are open for individual applications."

Lin Jie responded with a light 'oh' and said, "Discuss it with the hospitals that want to partner with us. Whichever hospital is the most sincere and proactive, we'll finalize agreements with them first."

"Also, no single hospital should get too many positions; we need to set a limit."

An Kexin stepped out of Lin Jie's embrace, tidied her hair, and said, "We've imposed a limit—no more than ten people."

"Sounds good!"

Lin Jie agreed and then asked, "Did you hear any complaints from the doctors who reported in today?"

An Kexin chuckled, "How could they have any complaints?"

"Our hospital facilities are top-notch, and our preparations are thorough. In fact, the only downside of Anlin Hospital is that it's not located in a bustling area."

"But that's only temporary."

"I believe Anlin Hospital will create a prosperous area within three years."

She took the empty cup from Lin Jie's hand and continued, "The biggest challenge for the hospital right now is that doctors come from all over the country, like a multinational force, with different work and living habits."

"We're planning to take advantage of the first few days post-opening to encourage them to interact and get to know each other. Simultaneously, we'll organize activities and training to foster their recognition of and loyalty to Anlin Hospital."

An Kexin looked at Lin Jie and said, "A Jie, during the first one or two months after the opening, you'll need to work harder."

"Your reputation is at its peak now, and everyone in the hospital looks up to you. Your every move will significantly impact them."

"Under your example, we expect it will only take a month or two for Anlin Hospital to develop a work culture centered around your style."

Lin Jie acknowledged with a hum and dedicatedly said, "I'll always be mindful and set a good example."

An Kexin giggled, "No need to be overly cautious. Just be your usual self. Your students say you're already awe-inspiring as it is."

"If you were always on guard, what chance would anyone else have? Don't overdo it."

Lin Jie scoffed, "Awe-inspiring?"

"Kexin, don't listen to their nonsense. They're not as afraid of me anymore and even dare to joke with me sometimes."

"Isn't that because they know you better and understand you're just a cool-headed but warm-hearted teacher who genuinely cares for them? For those unfamiliar with you, the mere aura you exude can make them tremble."

After saying this, An Kexin switched topics, "A Jie, let me tell you something."

"Dad wants to change the company's name to Anlin Group."

Lin Jie just smiled, saying, "The group company is named after Uncle An, and it's been called that for over twenty years, right? It's Uncle An's pride; just changing it like that?"

An Kexin snorted lightly, "To be exact, it's been twenty-three years."

"The problem is, after twenty-three years, this name's influence isn't as significant as the Anlin brand that's only been around for two years."

"Besides, Anlin is half ours, the An Family's. Dad has no objections to the name change; he was the one who brought it up with me."

"Dad says Anlin is destined to become a world-renowned international brand. Changing the name can help us seize an opportunity for significant growth."

Lin Jie laughed, "We're family, if you think it's appropriate to change the name, then change it, I have no objections!"

An Kexin hummed, "Even if you have no objections, I still need to consult you first."

"I still remember the first time I met you, looking so delicate and petite. How much time has passed? You've transformed into an internationally renowned figure."

"Dad feels psychological pressure facing you, he doesn't dare speak directly, he conveys through me instead."

Lin Jie chuckled and held An Kexin in his arms again, saying, "I'm still the same person, the essence doesn't change. What else did Uncle An tell you? Please share."

Leaning in Lin Jie's embrace, An Kexin said with a smile on her face, "Dad wants to get your authorization to produce that Microcurrent Meter!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "The demand for Microcurrent Meters should be quite large. The production technology isn't very complex, with only two key points: control chips and metal raw materials."

"Control chips can be custom ordered from chip factories, and metal raw materials can be procured from manufacturers through research institutes."

"Overall, Microcurrent Meters are a labor-intensive product."

"This isn't the development direction for Anlin Precision. In the future, you can establish closer cooperation with Anlin Precision, where they handle R&D and design, and you're responsible for production."

"So, does this mean you agree to authorize?" An Kexin confirmed!

Lin Jie nodded, "Agreed, let's keep the resources within the family!"

"That's more like it!"

An Kexin twisted her body within Lin Jie's embrace and asked softly, "Ah Jie, have you really decided to donate all the proceeds from the Microcurrent Meter to the Charity Fund?"

"This is a large and continuous source of income, a rare sum of money you can freely allocate in the near future."

Lin Jie rested his chin in An Kexin's shoulder nook and said, "I've decided."

"The money came too easily; using it for myself feels uneasy, so it's better to donate it to the Charity Fund and benefit more people."

"But this is your own scientific research result? How come you're uneasy about it?"

An Kexin mumbled in confusion and continued, "However, since you've already decided, I won't say more. With this stable large fund, the Charity Fund needs to expand its relief scale."

She waved her little fist and shouted, "Let's aim to develop the Anlin Charity Fund into a national-known fund with the most patient rescues within a few years."

"Yes, anything with 'Anlin', whether it's hospital, pharmaceuticals, sanatorium, or club hotel, research institute, charity fund, we're going to develop them to be top-notch..."

"Hey, don't let your hand wander!"

An Kexin slapped Lin Jie's wandering hand and teased, "I have to get up early tomorrow to talk to Slophel, and also have video negotiations with several foreign medical institutions at Anlin Hospital, very busy."

"Tonight, I don't have time to mess around with you."

"How is this messing around, this is proper messing around, isn't it?"

Lin Jie's hand didn't stop, and An Kexin's resistance grew weaker, her body leaning softly into Lin Jie's arms.

Just as Lin Jie intended to go a step further, the phone on the desk rang urgently.

He was quite frustrated.

Things always come up at critical moments, but a call at this time is often hard to ignore—it could be an urgent situation with a patient.

He released An Kexin and approached the desk, only to find the call was from Bi Baodong.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jie asked, his tone unhappy.

"Expert Lin, I apologize for disturbing you."

Bi Baodong said cautiously, "A friend told me today that there are a few strangers at Changbai Mountain massively purchasing ginseng."

"They talk big, claiming to have tens of billions in funds, not short on money, buying any ginseng regardless of quality or age."

"They not only buy existing ginseng but say they can sign purchase contracts with ginseng farmers for the ginseng produced in the next five years."

"Expert Lin, I wanted to check if you're planning to speculate on ginseng?"

Lin Jie frowned and said, "Boss Bi, hold on a moment, I'll contact others to inquire about this."

After contacting Fu Xiuyuan, Zhou Ziyan, and Cai Jinqiang one by one, his brow furrowed even more.

Lin Jie called Bi Baodong back, saying, "I've contacted others; this matter isn't their doing."

"Boss Bi, you're familiar with Northeast terrain, please investigate this matter, find out their intentions, and if possible, identify their behind-the-scenes boss."

Bi Baodong confidently replied on the phone, "No problem. Expert Lin, just wait for my news!"

After hanging up, Lin Jie looked at An Kexin and said, "Come on, baby, let's continue..."
