Chapter 1014 - 978: Replace Them All
Chapter 1014 - 978: Replace Them All
Near ten o'clock in the morning, Cheng Xingguang, Wei Haiyuan, and others arrived in front of the complex building to welcome several soldiers getting off a military vehicle.Leading them was an elder with short grey hair, looking lively and robust.
The epaulettes he wore had pine branches and a gold star, indicating that his rank was professional technical Major General.
Following him were more than ten people, aged from their thirties to fifties, all holding professional technical ranks, the lowest being Major, most were Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel.
Cheng Xingguang stepped forward a few steps, grasped the Major General's hand warmly, and said, "Dean Kan, we didn't expect you to lead the team personally this time."
"Now, we must seize this opportunity to learn a lot from you."
Dean Kan chuckled and said, "Dean Cheng, you exaggerate. You know why we are here, we are here to learn and gain insights."
"The great expert is right here with you."
Cheng Xingguang joked, "No matter what, you are a leading figure in the field of tumor treatment in the country. If you are too humble, what of the others?"
"The lounge has been prepared, Dean Kan, please!"
He looked at the people behind Dean Kan, made a gesture of invitation, and politely said, "Esteemed experts, please!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a stern expression and naturally curly hair, who was closely following Dean Kan, scanned the surroundings, frowned slightly, and asked, "Dean Cheng, why haven't we seen the renowned Colonel Lin?"
Wei Haiyuan replied, "Expert Lin is busy with personal affairs and is unaware of your arrival."
Hearing this explanation, the middle-aged man became displeased and coldly said, "The patient's condition is very bleak, and can be measured in days to live in this world."
"We left our heavy medical duties and hurriedly came over to exchange ideas with Colonel Lin as soon as possible, to get involved in the treatment work as soon as possible."
"Yet you say Expert Lin is still busy with personal affairs?"
"Is he still a soldier?"
Receiving this criticism, Cheng Xingguang's face turned cold, and he said rudely, "Do you have the qualification to judge whether Expert Lin is a soldier or not?"
Dean Kan cleared his throat and said, "Dr. Zhu Yiyang, do not be rude."
He turned to Cheng Xingguang and explained, "Dean Cheng, please do not take offense."
"Truth be told, I, along with Dr. Zhu and the others, came with our grievances, and inevitably, our tone might be harsh."
"Is Colonel Lin currently at your hospital?"
"If he's not at your hospital, could Dean Cheng take us to meet him?"
"There is a matter, quite urgent, that requires a quick meeting with Expert Lin to discuss."
Hearing this request, Cheng Xingguang nodded and said, "Expert Lin should still be in the operating room of the inpatient building."
"Please follow me then..."
"Stop! Stop! Pause for a moment!"
Kang Rui put down the camera, approached Lin Jie by the operating table, and said, "Expert Lin, your expression is unnatural, and your body posture is stiff. This won't do."
"Just pretend we're not here, and be your true self in the operating room!"
Lin Jie glanced at Du Feixue, An Kemeng, Lin Miao, Zou Manqing, who were standing nearby watching eagerly, and a few nurses who appeared out of nowhere, feeling quite helpless.
Being watched like a monkey by them, how could he possibly be natural?
"A-Jie..."
An Kexin gently tugged Lin Jie's sleeve and whispered, "Just act like you're performing surgery in the operating room; we're either your assistants or doctors observing and learning."
Lin Jie nodded, helplessly saying, "Alright, I'll give it a try!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes.
A minute or two later, when Lin Jie opened his eyes again, Kang Rui, who was quietly waiting nearby, was shocked.
This time, he felt as if Lin Jie's figure suddenly grew dozens of centimeters taller, exuding an aura that looked down on everything, as though the world belonged to him alone.
This aura...
Kang Rui considered himself not unfamiliar with big figures and scenes, but to experience such a strong, domineering aura like Lin Jie, this was the first time.
Lin Jie truly lived up to his name, a being beyond ordinary people.
"Good, very good! Keep it up!"
An excited Kang Rui frantically pressed the camera shutter at Lin Jie, enthusiastically shouting, "President An, be as enchanting as possible, be as seductive as possible, fully unleash your charm!"
At this moment, An Kexin was like a water snake entwined around Lin Jie, occasionally posing extremely seductive gestures, with her alluring gaze making one unable to resist.
Seeing this, Lin Miao's cheeks gradually turned pink, muttering, "I didn't expect Sister Kexin to have such... such... a side."
Du Feixue chuckled softly, lowered her voice, and said, "Miaomiao, let me tell you, Kexin is actually quite a reserved person."
"When restrained, she can be as pure as snow lotus; once unleashed, she's a hundred-changing enchantress, an irresistible Little Fairy."
She glanced at Lin Jie, who was unperturbed by the surroundings, and sighed, "Only your brother, who excels in the medical field, heartfelt and genuine, can handle Kexin."
Du Feixue sighed again, "This truly is a case of one thing overcoming another."
"I always thought that Kexin, whether in business or family life, would be the kind of dominant type."
"Unexpectedly, your brother has turned her into a gentle and considerate woman."
Lin Miao proudly said, "That's my brother. He can do anything..."
Just then, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and Lin Miao saw Cheng Xingguang, Wei Haiyuan, and more than a dozen men dressed as soldiers stride in.
Lin Jie stepped forward, shielding An Kexin behind him, and looked at the dozen or so soldiers with hostile expressions, asking, "Dean Cheng, what's going on here?"
Seeing the behavior of these soldiers, Cheng Xingguang felt a headache coming on.
Unexpectedly, telling them that Lin Jie was in the operating room taking unconventional wedding photos would provoke such a strong reaction from them.
This posture seemed like they were deliberately here to disrupt the scene.
Cheng Xingguang, bracing himself, introduced, "Expert Lin, this is Dean Kan from the Capital City PLA Tumor Hospital. The other doctors have been drawn from various military hospitals as oncology specialists."
"They have received orders from the military to assist you in experimental therapy and patient treatment."
He emphasized the words "order" and "assist" to remind Dean Kan and the others that, in the eyes of the military, Lin Jie has a much higher status than they do and they shouldn't be reckless without knowing their place.
"Colonel Lin..."
Dean Kan stepped forward and saluted Lin Jie, saying seriously, "Colonel Lin, among the forty-seven patients receiving your experimental therapy, twenty-one are being treated at the PLA Tumor Hospital."
"The other twenty-six are distributed in military or local hospitals across the country."
"They will be transferred here starting tomorrow morning."
"Expert Lin..."
Dean Kan earnestly said, "These patients are all cancer patients, and their current health is rather weak. Such a long-distance transfer will inevitably worsen their physical condition."
"Expert Lin..."
He saluted Lin Jie again, saying, "Considering the patients' health, I request that Expert Lin choose the PLA Tumor Hospital as the treatment location."
"We will create every possible condition to support your experimental treatment."
At this moment, Zhu Yiyang also spoke, "Expert Lin, this is also our unanimous request!"
"Salute!"
Following his words, the dozen or so military doctors all simultaneously saluted.
On the side, Cheng Xingguang was somewhat anxious and shouted, "Expert Lin, you mustn't agree. Our Affiliated Hospital will also provide every possible condition to support you."
Lin Jie naturally would not agree.
This experimental treatment cannot be completed in a short time.
Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take at least three to five months to see the treatment effects of the first batch of experimental patients.
Change the location to the PLA Tumor Hospital in the Capital City?
Are you kidding?!
Ignore the soon-to-open Anlin Hospital?
Not get married either?
Lin Jie has a healer's heart, but he wouldn't selflessly go to such an extent.
Looking at the forceful posture of Dean Kan and the others, Lin Jie said solemnly, "Given that you're also concerned for the patients, this time, I won't pursue it."
"Please leave, so as not to affect our progress in taking wedding photos."
"Colonel Lin!"
Zhu Yiyang spoke up again, "These patients are experts who have made significant contributions to the country."
"This long-distance transfer will further harm their health and reduce their chances of survival."
"Please consider carefully, Colonel Lin!"
"Salute!"
This time, even Dean Kan joined them in saluting!
Lin Jie coldly swept his gaze over Dean Kan, Zhu Yiyang, and the other military doctors.
Their gaze met Lin Jie's, and their saluting right hands did not waver; not one of them lowered it.
Seeing this, Lin Jie reached out to Lin Miao, saying, "Phone!"
Lin Miao responded with an "Oh" and then suddenly realized, quickly took Lin Jie's phone out of the bag, and handed it over.
Lin Jie took the phone, found Meng Yang's contact number, and dialed.
He put it on speakerphone.
After a few rings, Meng Yang's voice came from the phone, "Expert Lin, hello! Is there anything you need?"
Lin Jie said in a serious tone, "Replace the doctors sent to assist me, headed by Dean Kan! Replace them with a batch that will work without offering opinions!"
Upon hearing these words, Dean Kan, Zhu Yiyang, and the others were visibly stunned.
They hadn't expected Lin Jie to be so blunt and straightforward in complaining to his superiors.
What surprised them even more was, after a brief silence, the voice again came from the phone, "The second batch of doctors will arrive at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital tomorrow, without delaying the patients' treatment."
"Meanwhile, I will apply for a military order granting you absolute command authority, Expert Lin."
