Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1090 - 1052: The Arrogance of Youth

"I have a strong premonition that this time, I've been tricked by Four Seas Bank and you're in cahoots with them."Upon hearing Li Ao'ge speak so openly, Lin Jie couldn't help but smirk inwardly. Your premonition is quite accurate.

However, he replied with regret and unwillingness, "How could it be! Qushui Garden is something I truly desire, but alas, I'm just a doctor and can't compare to the wealth of Boss Li."

"In this auction, I must honestly admit defeat."

"Successfully bidding for Qushui Garden twice in a row, Boss Li must feel quite accomplished, right?"

A cold snort came from Li Ao'ge over the phone, "Dr. Lin, you don't need to mock me. The extra money spent is nothing to me, Li Ao'ge."

"I just intensely dislike being tricked by others."

Clearly, at this moment, Li Ao'ge had already concluded that Lin Jie was helping Four Seas Bank jack up prices to trap him. He spoke in a heavy tone, "Throwing in five billion, eight billion more has no effect on me."

"However, if certain someone loses a billion or two, they might face bankruptcy."

"I've heard that Weize Group's financial chain has always been tight."

"To fund projects like building Anlin Hospital, bank loans and various debts have already reached their limits."

"If there's any slight disruption... "

Lin Jie, with a serious expression, responded solemnly, "Boss Li, let me tell you something, you have things you dislike, and so do I. I, for one, despise threats and always seek revenge."

"Though I'm merely a doctor, I can assure you that my influence is quite significant."

"Your empire of wealth might not be all that stable."

"If you want a battle, I'll give you a battle!"

To be honest, Lin Jie was genuinely unafraid of Li Ao'ge's threats.

Their realms are different, no matter how wealthy Li Ao'ge was, he couldn't shake Lin Jie's current status in the domestic medical field.

Even if he could spend money to affect Weize Group's operation, with Lin Jie's current connections, borrowing a few billion to keep Weize Group stable is quite easy.

As for causing trouble for Li Ao'ge's enterprises, Lin Jie didn't believe he himself was a saint, and that all of his companies were flawless without any violations...

After Lin Jie issued his strong words, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

After several heavy breaths, Li Ao'ge's voice once again came from the phone, "Dr. Lin, I hope that one day, you won't come begging me."

Lin Jie coldly replied, "Likewise, I say the same to you..."

Just before arriving at the Affiliated Hospital, Jian Jia quietly reported, "Dr. Lin, Dr. Zhou Ziyan sent a message that Dr. Skeller and the Felix couple will arrive at the hospital in fifteen minutes."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Perfect, I'll be right in the lobby of the inpatient building waiting for them..."

A dozen minutes later, Lin Jie saw Tian Xiangyu's car slowly pull up in front of the inpatient building lobby.

The passenger door opened, and Zhou Ziyan got out first, followed by Skeller, and then a middle-aged foreign couple also stepped out in succession.

Lin Jie immediately approached and warmly embraced Skeller.

With Skeller's introduction, he then met the Felix couple and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Lin Jie focused particularly on Mr. Felix, who was his patient.

Fifty-two years old, nearly six feet three, balding, and slightly overweight.

Perhaps due to the long-distance flight, his spirits seemed somewhat dull.

Lin Jie instructed Tian Xiangyu, who had just run over after temporarily parking the car, "Quickly proceed with the hospitalization procedures for Mr. Felix so they can rest well."

"Body examinations will start tomorrow morning."

Tian Xiangyu responded and led the Felix couple into the inpatient building.

Lin Jie then smiled at Skeller, saying, "It's lunchtime here now, are you up for sampling some Chinese cuisine?"

"Or would you prefer to rest first at the hotel, adjusting for the time difference?"

Skeller rubbed her forehead and, sounding weary, said, "I've been busy for the past few days and didn't get decent rest on the plane. I'll head to the hotel to rest first."

"Dr. Lin, I aim to understand your experimental therapy with the best mental state and utmost respect."

After agreeing to officially discuss matters tomorrow, Lin Jie instructed Zhou Ziyan to take Skeller to the pre-booked hotel for rest...

After settling Skeller, Lin Jie returned to his office to find Cheng Xingguang waiting for him.

"I heard the military chef in the wing prepares excellent dishes, so I've come to snag a meal."

Lin Jie chuckled and instructed Jian Jia to bring an extra meal over, then said, "Dean Cheng, you're fortunate today, otherwise you might miss the chance to have lunch with me."

Cheng Xingguang clicked his tongue, saying, "It's not my luck. It's because someone told me that Dr. Skeller isn't with you, so I came over."

"Does the hospital need to extend a formal reception?"

Lin Jie shook his head, replied, "She's here as a friend seeking treatment and to understand my experimental therapy."

"As for the rest, let me communicate with her first, then we can discuss further."

Cheng Xingguang responded with a nod, saying, "Some foreigners don't like those formalities of coming and going. It's good that you communicate first, so we don't end up making a good-hearted gesture, only to find it's not appreciated."

"By the way, congratulations on passing your thesis defense with excellent grades."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "It's just one of those things. The grades were given by the professors out of courtesy."

"That's because your 'face' is big enough, as big as a football field at least."

Cheng Xingguang joked and then continued, "Expert Lin, just to let you know, I've mobilized all the hospital's technical staff and medical personnel who aren't currently busy."

"I've had them input imaging data like MRIs, CTs, X-rays, and ultrasounds associated with specific human body parts and organs."

With a look of hope, he said, "I just hope, through the efforts of all the hospital staff, we can build a comprehensive database in the shortest time possible to provide ample comparative analysis data for the development of conversion and analysis software."

"Expert Lin, how are the preparations on your end?"

Lin Jie replied gloomily, "Song Zexing told me this morning that he has already negotiated with those five computer experts for a bundled price of ten million."

"Those guys will work for us for a month, fully developing conversion and analysis software for different data formats."

"Gosh, it's really expensive."

Lin Jie said angrily, "Working just for a month and they're asking for ten million, and they can't even guarantee the final product of the software."

"Having the skills is quite something, and we have no choice but to agree."

Unable to hold back, Cheng Xingguang pointed at Lin Jie's nose, saying, "Expert Lin, when you talk about others, you might want to use a mirror to look at yourself."

"These people are five individuals, working day and night for a month and only asking for ten million."

"If the rumors I've heard aren't nonsense, some individuals earn millions, even tens of millions, just from a single surgery."

Lin Jie was taken aback and awkwardly said, "Dean Cheng, life is priceless."

"Using finite money in exchange for priceless life is certainly very worthwhile, isn't it?"

"Besides, I've never demanded exorbitant fees. These rewards were given voluntarily by the other party after the surgery."

"With such sincere intentions, it wouldn't be right to reject their goodwill, would it?"

Cheng Xingguang glanced at Lin Jie with contempt, scoffing, "Finding excuses for your own greed."

Lin Jie confidently said, "The other party offers such high rewards because they can afford it, and because they believe my surgery is worth their payment."

"Dean Cheng, most of the surgeries I perform in the hospital are billed according to hospital standards."

"And I also contribute a lot of free labor regularly."

Cheng Xingguang didn't continue to tease Lin Jie. He aligned, saying, "Truth be told, Expert Lin, your skills can save lives, so whatever high rewards you receive are well-deserved."

"But, Expert Lin, it's best to be mindful in this aspect."

He cautioned, "You know, receive benefits quietly without flaunting them."

"In today's society, there are too many people with a jealousy complex."

"These people wish for others to work tirelessly, earning just enough to sustain themselves, while they dream of getting rich every day."

"In a nutshell, they can't see others doing well."

Lin Jie chuckled, saying indifferently, "What is there to be afraid of? I'm earning money with my genuine skills, neither stealing nor robbing. Let those envy-driven people live forever in jealousy and bitterness, never finding peace."

"Such youthful exuberance!"

Cheng Xingguang mumbled, then switched topics, worriedly asking, "Expert Lin, do you think that with our yet-to-be-proven data conversion and analysis software..."

"And your favor towards the Morris Clan, can it really lead them to deeply collaborate with us?"

Lin Jie pondered for a moment, spreading his hands, saying, "I can't say for sure."

"Everyone says that capitalists are heartless, only interested in profits, ignoring other aspects."

"Moreover, there might be policy factors like technical export restrictions from Germany."

"Of course, we have a huge advantage with the enormous domestic medical market. If this project gets underway, annual revenues might reach over tens of billions."

"Won't Morrison Industries be tempted by this lucrative opportunity? They surely will be."

"There seem to be companies in the United States that can produce similar 3D laser projectors. We don't necessarily have to cling to Morrison Industries alone..."

In the midst of the conversation, Jian Jia and Qin Gang returned with the food.

Lin Jie and Cheng Xingguang continued chatting while eating, exchanging some opinions on fundraising operations for the smart medical system project.

After lunch, Lin Jie rested a bit and started to take a nap.

In his dazed state, he heard voices from the outer office talking, "Hello, I'm the vice president of Langchao Company..."

"I wish to visit Expert Lin..."
