Chapter 1110 - 1070: I Agree (Part 2)
Lin Jie took a bright red invitation card and laughed, "A big red envelope? Didn't you already give your wedding gift in advance?""That was a whole set of high-quality cookware and utensils of various specifications I brought from Germany."
Zou Manqing giggled, "Brother-in-law, that was the wedding gift you and my cousin gave me."
"Ganghao is your student, if he's getting married, shouldn't you also give him a big red envelope and a gift?"
Lin Jie rolled his eyes, disdainfully saying, "You're really greedy, wanting two gifts from me!"
Zou Manqing retorted confidently, "Who told you to be so rich!"
She took out another invitation and handed it to Fu Xiuyuan, smiling broadly, "Chairman Fu, please be sure to attend my and Ganghao's wedding that day."
Fu Xiuyuan laughed heartily, "Rest assured!"
"Even if I can't make it that day, a thick red envelope will definitely arrive..."
While Zou Manqing was handing out invitations, An Kexin also returned, bringing along a guest, Ouyang Zhizhen.
Ouyang Zhizhen, carrying a fruit basket, approached Lin Jie and politely said, "Expert Lin, thank you very much for your invitation along with President An's."
"I came in a hurry, this fruit basket was bought on the way, just a small token, please accept it."
"Thank you! That's very kind of you!"
Lin Jie accepted the fruit basket, handed it to Lin Miao standing beside him, and smiled, "The dinner is almost ready, let's take our seats first."
"At the table, I'll introduce you to my family and friends..."
Just then, the property management called, saying someone from Phoenix Family Farmhouse came to deliver a gift.
Because the gift was somewhat unique, the property management suggested it would be best for Lin Jie to come down and check it out personally.
Thinking of Phoenix Family Farmhouse naturally reminded Lin Jie of the beer-bellied, tear-prone boss, Wang Changming.
He had returned home to recover more than half a month ago after being discharged.
Is this a thank you gift from him?
In curiosity, Lin Jie, Guan Muhua, and the curious Lin Miao and An Kemeng went downstairs together.
They arrived in front of the apartment building and saw a pickup truck parked out front.
In the truck bed was a black jar about as tall as a person.
Three people stood in front of the pickup, one of whom was a young man in his early twenties.
The other two, Lin Jie found familiar; they had served them at the Phoenix Family Farmhouse.
The young man saw Lin Jie and the others and promptly introduced himself with a smile, "Expert Lin, I'm Wang Yong, son of Wang Changming of Phoenix Family Farmhouse."
"My dad said if it weren't for you, it might have been too late to detect his illness."
"Your kindness is something our family will remember forever."
Saying this, he jumped into the pickup bed with another person and said, "We happened to know you have a gathering on Wednesday, so we specially roasted our secret whole pig to add a dish to your event."
"Expert Lin, this is a small piglet, weighing just over twenty pounds."
"I prepared it myself, guided step by step by my dad. Please have a taste, you and your family and friends."
Saying this, Wang Yong and the person beside him cooperated to open the large jar sealed with yellow mud.
In the visible steam, Wang Yong, with thick gloves on, pulled out a roasted piglet wrapped in foil from the jar.
Seeing this scene, An Kemeng excitedly grabbed Lin Miao's hand and exclaimed, "Wow, wow, Miao Miao, it's making my mouth water. Sometimes I dream of eating their roasted pork."
"Didn't expect such a pleasant surprise today..."
When this secret roasted piglet was brought to the Lin Family Apartment kitchen, and the foil wrapping was torn off, a rich aroma filled the kitchen and dining area.
An Kemeng took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "I love this aroma!"
Wang Yong used a knife he brought to cut the roasted piglet into small pieces, left fresh vegetables to pair with the pork, along with a special dipping sauce, and firmly declined Lin Jie's invitation to stay longer, taking his leave.
With Lin Jie's gesture, Zhang Xiaoxiao ran after them with two boxes of dried abalone and shark fin...
The small piglet, weighing over twenty pounds, lost some weight during roasting, but each person still got at least a pound.
Despite the table being full of dishes, by the end of the meal, only a pile of bones was left of the piglet.
Lin Miao, An Kemeng, Yao Henan, and Bi Xiyan became the main forces, each eating at least two to three pounds of roasted pork.
No one knew how they managed to fit it all in their stomachs.
After the meal, everyone gathered in the living room to drink tea and chat.
Lin Jie invited Ouyang Zhizhen to the study.
Seated by the study's coffee table, Lin Jie poured two cups of tea and straightforwardly said, "Vice President Ouyang, the negotiation between Langchao Company and our project is nearing its end. I asked Kexin to invite you over to discuss something with you."
Ouyang Zhizhen straightened up and said, "Expert Lin, please instruct me."
"If it's something I can do, I won't shirk from it."
Lin Jie smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Vice President Ouyang, I'll be frank. I want to invite you to leave Langchao Company and take charge of the operation of the entire smart medical system development project."
Ouyang Zhizhen was momentarily stunned.
Quickly drinking a cup of hot tea, he suppressed his surprise and asked curiously, "Expert Lin, why me?"
Lin Jie honestly said, "The main reason is that I don't have anyone suitable on my side, and the An Family doesn't either."
"Our growth has been rapid these past couple of years, and we don't have enough people."
"During the past few days of negotiations, President An has expressed high regard for your capabilities."
"In this smart medical system development project, the technical development is substantial, and I believe that Vice President Ouyang, with your understanding of both technology and management, you are quite capable of the role."
Lin Jie's words were direct and candid.
After digesting it for a while, Ouyang Zhizhen poured himself another cup of tea and drank it in one go, saying, "Expert Lin, thank you and President An for your acknowledgment. Regarding your invitation..."
"I... agree."
His straightforwardness left Lin Jie slightly surprised.
He confirmed by asking, "You just agreed like that? Without reconsidering, it's quite a significant decision."
Being rendered stunned repeatedly by Lin Jie, seeing Lin Jie's slightly amazed expression, Ouyang Zhizhen couldn't help but laugh, "Expert Lin, no need to reconsider, I agree."
He took a deep breath and said, "Expert Lin, I was in charge of Langchao Company's investigation into this project and you."
"So, I have quite a thorough and deep understanding of you."
"Never mind what I've learned through investigations, talk about today."
Ouyang Zhizhen marveled, "I know many patients and their families praise doctors to their faces, offering gifts and red envelopes, but privately curse them, let alone remembering the doctor's kindness after being discharged."
"But, today's patient went through a lot, bringing over a gift expressing heartfelt gratitude."
"Seeing the small picture and understanding the big, Expert Lin, the saying 'great physicians with sincere hearts' refers to renowned doctors like you!"
"Working under you brings peace of mind."
Ouyang Zhizhen earnestly continued, "This smart medical system development project is a great benefit to the nation and people, with huge investment. Being fully responsible for such a major project makes me proud and excited, and it's a challenge I have dreamed of."
"Since I have earned your acknowledgment, I truly have no reason to refuse."
Lin Jie happily said, "Great! Ouyang Zhizhen, warmly welcome to the team!"
Shaking Ouyang Zhizhen's hand firmly, Lin Jie continued, "German Morris Industry will send a team on the 14th of this month to Binhai to discuss cooperation with us."
"Be prepared..."
