Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1142 - 1101: The Temptation of Going Abroad

The bride in the wedding dress looked beautiful.When she appeared, even Lin Jie had a stunning feeling, which made him marvel at the amazing skills of the makeup artist.

It's just that the groom looked a bit silly, constantly giggling foolishly.

Especially when contrasted with the tall and handsome groomsmen like Zeng Yang, Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, and others, it gave people the serious misconception that the beautiful bride married the groom for his wealth.

Guided by the emcee and with some humorous banter, the wedding ceremony was completed smoothly.

The wedding banquet was also quite good, at least it suited Lin Jie's taste.

Close to one in the afternoon, as soon as the banquet ended, Lin Jie carried the sleepy Yuanyuan and left Qushui Garden with An Kexin and Lin Miao.

"A-Jie, what do you think of this wedding?"

Facing An Kexin's inquiry, Lin Jie responded solemnly, "A bride shouldn't have bridesmaids prettier than herself, and this applies to groomsmen too."

"But we don't have that problem. Bridesmaids and groomsmen more beautiful or handsome than us simply don't exist."

An Kexin shot Lin Jie a glance and teased, "You're just being vain!"

She reminded him, "Many people like Qi Yuanou and Fu Xiuyuan came to the wedding today because of you."

"Leaving without talking to them might not be very polite, don't you think?"

Lin Jie nonchalantly replied, "Seeing them once is enough."

"If they have something important, they'd definitely reach out to me."

He adjusted Yuanyuan in his arms so she could sleep more comfortably and said softly, "We set aside an entire day for this wedding today, spending all our time coming and going with others—it's such a waste."

"This precious time should be spent with our own family."

"Kexin, Miao Miao, tell me, where do you want to go? I'll accompany you both!"

Just as he said that, his phone started ringing.

It was a call from Fu Xiuyuan.

An Kexin smiled, reached over to take the sleeping Yuanyuan from Lin Jie, and said softly, "He must need something from you, go ahead and take the call."

Lin Jie answered the phone with a slightly impatient tone, "Fu Xiuyuan, what's up?"

"Lin Jie, are you still at Qushui Garden? I can't find you."

Lin Jie made up an excuse and said, "Already left. There were some issues with a patient that I need to go back and handle."

"If there's anything, just say it over the phone."

Over the phone, Fu Xiuyuan let out a light "oh," and said, "I'll keep it brief then. Anlin Pharmaceutical has already started construction in full swing. If all goes well, it will be operational around the New Year."

"I wanted to ask if Life No.1 Inducer and Body Injury Recovery Agent can proceed with new drug registration and approval?"

It was only then that Lin Jie realized a problem.

As far as he knew, the process from research and development of a new drug to its final approval and market launch is quite complicated.

It requires animal testing, clinical trials, and various inspections, all taking at least two to three years, and sometimes even five to ten years.

Lin Jie thought for a while and said, "The efficacy of the inducer and recovery agent has been proven, and no significant side effects have been found. However, they've only been in clinical trials for a brief three months."

"Fu Xiuyuan, drug registration and approval can proceed, but the short testing period lacks persuasion!"

"I estimate that for a long period, these inducers and recovery agents can only be produced in laboratories and provided to various medical institutions in need as clinical trial drugs."

Fu Xiuyuan let out a chuckle and said, "Lin Jie, you're an expert in treating illnesses and saving lives, but when it comes to drug approval, you're an outsider."

"These inducers and recovery agents are essentially Chinese medicine and don't fall under the category of Western medicine. They are derived from ancient Chinese prescriptions, containing no toxic substances or incompatible combinations, and the production process is mostly consistent with traditional methods."

Fu Xiuyuan confidently explained, "For such Chinese patent medicines, our country's drug administration has clear regulations that only non-clinical safety research data is required to directly apply for production."

"Additionally, the agent has proven in your clinical trials to play a crucial role in new tumor therapies."

He confidently said, "Lin Jie, believe me, once we submit the application, the drug administration's approval department will definitely handle it promptly."

"Of course, necessary procedures and inspections at the drug administration are still required, but it won't be a prolonged process. I estimate it will take three to five months at most."

"There's a high chance the new drug registration numbers and production approvals will be granted before our pharmaceutical plant is operational."

Lin Jie happily said, "That would be the best outcome. I also hope that these inducers and recovery agents can be put into mass production sooner, benefiting more patients."

"Both I and Old Man Cai are eager. Watching you sell them for ten thousand US dollars per piece makes us quite envious."

Fu Xiuyuan joked and then asked, "Lin Jie, do you know what happened with Cai Yun?"

"Originally, he was the one representing Anlin Pharmaceutical on the Zhengda Company side, but suddenly he was replaced. To my knowledge, he was also sent to a cold position, assigned to a clean job,"

Lin Jie vaguely said, "I only know that he made a fundamental mistake that angered Chairman Cai. As for the specifics, I'm not sure."

Just hearing Fu Xiuyuan thoughtfully saying, "I understand now."

"The Cai Family is considered an old family brand with decades of history. There must be internal competition and power struggles, similar to our Fu Family."

Not long after Lin Jie hung up Fu Xiuyuan's phone, An Kexin received a call from Gong Xuepeng to discuss cooperation negotiations between Anlin Hospital and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Before An Kexin's call was finished, Lin Jie's cell phone rang again.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Miao said gloomily, "Seriously, can't these people take a break for once? Today, our family has finally gathered together to relax a bit."

Upon seeing the caller was Qi Yuanou, Lin Jie, to avoid disturbing An Kexin, gestured to Guan Muhua to pull over.

After getting out of the car, he called Qi Yuanou back.

As soon as the call connected, Qi Yuanou's voice came through the phone, "Expert Lin, I hope I'm not interrupting you."

"Not really interrupting, President Qi. Please go ahead and tell me what's going on!"

"Oh, okay, I'll get straight to the point. It's about those football players."

"With the precedent of those athletes from Guohua Club, dealing with these players didn't take much effort. However, their original contracts took some time and energy from us."

"Expert Lin, what do you think about their injury treatment?"

Lin Jie pondered and said, "Anlin Hospital opens on the eighteenth; they can come over after the opening."

"Alright, alright, just waiting for Anlin Hospital to open!"

Qi Yuanou replied happily and continued, "Expert Lin, there's one more thing."

He didn't hesitate, directly stating, "It's about one of the football players who has a friend who's a professional tennis player. It's said that they have a back nerve injury, and it hasn't been effectively treated, severely impacting their performance."

"Through me, they're wondering if there's a chance for your treatment."

Lin Jie straightforwardly agreed, "Let's wait until after the eighteenth, and they can come to Anlin Hospital."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie returned to the car and found An Kexin looking somewhat serious, concerned he asked, "What's wrong? Did Johns Hopkins Hospital make unreasonable demands?"

"Worst case, we just don't cooperate..."

An Kexin interrupted Lin Jie's words, shaking her head saying, "It's not about Johns Hopkins Hospital. I just received a call from Dr. Shao Ruiyue."

"He told me that during lunch with several doctors who had reported in advance, they casually discussed an issue. He found that each of them had received an invitation from an overseas intermediary."

"The intermediary told them that they can handle emigration, help arrange for them to study at hospitals in the United States, assist them in obtaining the US medical license, and ultimately help them to obtain a US green card."

Lin Jie realized the seriousness of the issue and asked for confirmation, "They all received such invitations?"

An Kexin nodded, "Shao Ruiyue said that during lunch, including him, a total of five doctors received similar overseas invitations."

"I've already called Vice Director Fang, asking him to investigate the matter."

"A-Jie, I guess this might be a common phenomenon. It's just unclear how many doctors might be tempted and accept this intermediary's overseas services!"

Lin Miao quietly said, "Brother, Sister Kexin, even Johns Hopkins Hospital, such a prestigious international hospital, wants to cooperate with our Anlin Hospital and send their doctors here for learning and exchange!"

"These doctors shouldn't be so foolish, right?"

"Even if they went to the United States, they definitely wouldn't be able to enter such prestigious hospitals as Johns Hopkins Hospital."

An Kexin sighed and said, "Miaomiao, although the phenomenon of blind admiration for foreign things is lessening, going to the United States and obtaining a US green card is still very attractive to some people."

She further explained, "These young and middle-aged doctors can pass our review and gain your brother's approval; their skills and abilities are quite good."

"Even in a developed country like the United States, skilled doctors are still a scarce human resource."

"If these people actually go to the US, truth be told, with their abilities, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to work a few years and obtain a green card."

An Kexin pondered and said, "Now I'm wondering whether this overseas agency is smart and sees the opportunity or if someone is behind the scenes trying to sabotage our hospital."

"Perhaps things are not as bad as you think!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "We've signed work agreements with them, which include high breach of contract penalties. Leaving for overseas directly violates the agreement."

"Currently, no one has discussed this agreement with us, which shows that no doctor has been persuaded by them yet."

But An Kexin slowly shook her head, worriedly saying, "Perhaps some people are being seduced with the idea that once abroad, they'll never return, attempting to avoid our breach penalties."
