Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1141 - 1100: International Exchange and Cooperation

In the guest room on the fifth floor of the main building at Qushui Garden, accompanied by An Kexin and Ling Mengjiao, Lin Jie came to visit. After exchanging pleasantries with three foreigners from Johns Hopkins Hospital, they took their seats as host and guest.Lin Jie straightforwardly asked, "Vice Director Dean, you must be representing Johns Hopkins Hospital this time in China to celebrate the opening of Phoenix Mountain Hospital, right?"

Dean, in his fifties and already partly bald, nodded and said, "This is indeed one of our main purposes for this trip. Here with me are Dr. Harold and Dr. Oswald, who will stay and work at Phoenix Mountain Hospital for a month."

In the previous introductions, Lin Jie learned that Dr. Oswald is the associate director of cardiac surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Shen Lanruo told Lin Jie that although Oswald couldn't compare to her, he was nonetheless quite reputable in the cardiac field and quite skillful.

Getting Shen Lanruo's approval, Lin Jie understood that this doctor's abilities were definitely present.

As for Dr. Harold, he is the head of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

He must be quite a renowned expert in the field of pediatrics.

With Johns Hopkins Hospital sending these two strong hands here, Lin Jie could surmise that the cooperation between Phoenix Mountain Hospital and them is deep.

Looking at the two of them, Lin Jie politely said, "I hope both of you will have a successful work experience in China and enjoy your life here!"

"Thank you!"

Oswald, who expressed his gratitude, looked at Lin Jie with great interest and said, "Dr. Lin, ever since I saw that research paper on arterial-venous interchange in 'Nature,' I've wanted to meet you."

"I was inspired by the paper to solve some major cardiovascular treatment dilemmas with special symptoms."

Harold, meanwhile, waved his phone and asked, "Dr. Lin, may I take a photo with you? My daughter is studying medicine and is currently in her internship phase. She's a fan of yours!"

"Of course!"

After Lin Jie and Harold took the photo, Dean spoke up: "Another important reason we came to China is about forming a close cooperation with Anlin Hospital."

"At the same time, on behalf of Johns Hopkins Hospital, I officially invite Dr. Lin to visit our hospital at a convenient time."

Lin Jie politely said, "Thank you for the invitation. I will seriously consider it!"

"Dr. Dean, regarding the cooperation, what are your thoughts?"

With admiration in his tone, Dean said, "Before discussing cooperation, Dr. Lin, I must congratulate you again for being featured on the cover of 'The Lancet' magazine twice."

He exclaimed, "Twice in one month on the cover of 'The Lancet'—it's unprecedented in its history."

Lin Jie curiously asked, "Is this issue of 'The Lancet' released early?"

Dean shook his head and said, "This issue of 'The Lancet' is officially published tomorrow."

He further explained, "It's just that Johns Hopkins Hospital is one of the few institutions worldwide that can see the finalized content a day or two in advance."

"We have this privilege as our duty is to check published papers in 'The Lancet' for medical errors or improper content."

Lin Jie felt enlightened.

Indeed, most papers published in 'The Lancet' represent the forefront of medical research.

Editors like Skeller, not working at the forefront of medicine, might have outdated knowledge, and they can't be omniscient across all medical fields.

During the review process, they might overlook some details.

Having a world-leading institution like Johns Hopkins Hospital perform a review before publication is necessary.

Dean continued: "The Lin Jie current value you discovered, alongside your major advancements in cancer treatment, is sure to stir the entire medical community."

"Dr. Lin, you have become a leading figure in the medical field. We look forward to cooperation and exchange!"

Suppressing his pride, Lin Jie declared, "I'm greatly looking forward to collaborating and exchanging with an internationally renowned institution like Johns Hopkins Hospital."

"About this close cooperation, Vice Director Dean, do you have any specific ideas?"

Dean gravely said, "First, it's naturally about mutual exchange and training of personnel between the hospitals."

"We are willing to provide exchange funds and invite young doctors from Anlin Hospital to join Johns Hopkins Hospital for six months to a year for study and exchange."

"In return, we hope Anlin Hospital could also receive the young doctors we send for learning."

"The costs involved are to be entirely covered by Johns Hopkins Hospital, and we might even provide additional funding for their training at Anlin Hospital."

Upon hearing this, An Kexin couldn't help pinching her thigh.

The sharp pain made her realize she wasn't hallucinating.

Previously, domestic medical institutions had to spend money and effort to leverage relationships, begging for acceptance of their doctors sent abroad.

But now the situation has reversed, and the other party is one of the top ten medical institutions in the United States.

An Kexin also understood Johns Hopkins Hospital came not for Anlin Hospital but indeed for Lin Jie.

Looking at Lin Jie beside her, who appeared calm, she felt a strong surge of emotion.

If there weren't outsiders present, An Kexin would have jumped right into his arms...

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Vice Director Dean, I personally am one hundred percent in favor of the cooperation and exchange between both parties. However, I'm not responsible for the specific matters in this area."

"How about letting the specific staff from both sides discuss the cooperation details?"

Dean, seeing Lin Jie's approval, also nodded with a smile and said, "I was just thinking the same."

After that, the group stopped discussing specific matters and began exploring medical issues.

Watching the four of them enthusiastically use professional jargon that she couldn't understand, An Kexin had to lean towards Lin Jie slightly and whispered, "Ah Jie, it's about time for the wedding ceremony."

Lin Jie immediately realized, laughed, and said, "Vice Director Dean, Dr. Harold, Dr. Oswald, apologies. Today is the wedding day of my fiancée's cousin and my student; the wedding is about to start."

"If it's convenient for you three, you are welcome to stay and witness the ceremony, and enjoy our banquet."

Dean smiled and said, "Witnessing Chinese wedding customs and savoring delicious food, what a great opportunity! As far as I know, attending a wedding according to your customs involves giving red envelopes?"

"Expert Lin, how much is appropriate to put in the red envelope?"

Lin Jie jokingly said, "The more the better..."

He and An Kexin led Dean and the others to the ceremony venue's second-floor hall.

At this point, the hall's rows of seats placed on the left and right sides were almost filled with people.

Lin Jie called Gong Xuepeng, Chen Qiuhua, and Fang Huanru over to introduce them to the three foreigners and invited them to accompany the foreigners at the wedding.

After seating them, Lin Jie parted ways and walked towards the front row along the aisle.

Along the way, people occasionally stood up to warmly greet Lin Jie and An Kexin.

For acquaintances, Lin Jie simply uttered a few words, while to unfamiliar faces, he returned a smile.

"Expert Lin, President An!"

After walking a few steps, Lin Jie followed the sound and saw Fang Jianbin standing by the aisle, accompanied by a capable-looking woman.

He recognized her, this was Fang Jianbin's wife, Yuan Li.

Lin Jie said joyfully, "Dr. Yuan Li, a warm welcome. Vice Director Fang won't need to endure solitude now, did you bring the child to attend the wedding?"

Yuan Li chuckled lightly and said, "I must thank you, Expert Lin, for specifically summoning me here."

"The child has been sent to our hometown temporarily, under the care of the elders there, until we can arrange things properly and bring them over once everything stabilizes."

Lin Jie responded with an understanding "Oh" and said, "If there's any real difficulty, feel free to speak up, no need to be embarrassed..."

Finally reaching the front row, Lin Jie naturally followed An Kexin towards the empty seats.

At this moment, he heard someone behind him calling, "Expert Lin, sit here, today you should sit on the groom's family side."

Lin Jie paused and turned around, realizing it was Xiao Ganghao's uncle, Pan Xinli.

Wearing a festive Tang suit, he waved to Lin Jie and said, "Expert Lin, you're Xiao Ganghao's teacher. According to tradition, teachers hold the same status as parents, there's a spot reserved for you here."

Just as he finished speaking, someone from Zou Manqing's side stood up and said, "Expert Lin is Manqing's brother-in-law, Principal Pan. You can't have Expert Lin and Kexin sit apart."

Pan Xinli confidently waved his hand and said, "That's easy, just have President An sit with Expert Lin."

"That won't do, Kexin hasn't officially joined the family yet, she can't follow her husband's lead!"

This person then called out to An Weize sitting in the front row, "Brother An, don't just sit there, say something."

"You're the father-in-law, your words carry weight!"

Being called out, An Weize had no choice but to stand up, first cupping his hands towards Pan Xinli across the aisle, then deliberately put on a serious face, and said to Lin Jie, "Ah Jie, come and sit with Kexin, otherwise you won't marry our Kexin smoothly."

Lin Jie seized the opportunity and said, "Principal Pan, I'm sorry, to marry smoothly, I have to heed the father-in-law."

The scene immediately filled with laughter.

Pan Xinli shook his head with a laugh and said, "At weddings, the bride's family takes precedence, this time, we'll take a step back."

After Lin Jie and An Kexin sat down, he whispered, "Kexin, discuss the specific content and details of the collaboration with Johns Hopkins Hospital as you wish."

"However, there's one condition that must be included, which is the training and education of medical technicians."

"Compared to doctors, our gap in medical technicians can be said to be even greater."

An Kexin nodded vigorously and said, "Ah Jie, don't worry."

"This time, they are the ones seeking us, we will certainly negotiate for the most favorable conditions."

Just then, the host's voice sounded, "Ladies and gentlemen..."
