Chapter 1166 - 1124: New Beginnings
Wutong Garden District, located northeast of Anlin Hospital, is about a twenty-minute drive away.It is a mid-to-high-end comprehensive large community developed by a real estate company under the Han Group, featuring single villas, townhouses, multi-story foreign-style houses, and small high-rises.
In the southeast part of the community, there is a hill about twenty or thirty meters high, curving like an arm.
A glance shows villas of various designs scattered along the undulating terrain.
Below the hill are rows of townhouses.
Further west, there is a large artificial lake with rippling waves and the central garden of the community.
Across from the central garden are multi-story foreign-style houses and small high-rises of varying heights.
According to the real estate company, this community was sold out within a week of the market opening.
Now, three to four months have passed since the real estate company handed over the houses.
This community, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was quiet at six-thirty on this summer morning, with only a dozen or so people gathered around the artificial lake for a morning jog.
"Did you see that gray and white villa at the highest point?"
Leading the group, Tian Xiangyu pointed to the modern-style villa, partially obscured by green vegetation, and introduced with a bit of breathlessness, "That's our teacher's villa."
"It is said to be the wedding house, and after marriage, the teacher and President An should live there."
With this comment, the jogging group slowed down, all looking in that direction.
Yan Beichen said admiringly, "What a beautiful, big villa, it must be at least a thousand square meters? Living there, I wonder if you get a feeling of being on top of the world?"
Ma Hongmin swung her fist and shouted, "Strive to become a renowned doctor, buy a villa, and become neighbors with the teacher."
Fang Huanru chuckled and said, "Hongmin, it's a bit tough to achieve that dream."
"The single villas here were all reserved within three days during the promotion at that time. Back then, the teacher was the homeowner of this villa, and it was even used as an important selling point by the project developers."
Song Licheng smiled slowly and said, "Spending thousands for neighbors is quite applicable nowadays."
Guo Peng suddenly joked, "Junior Sister Ma, if you want to become neighbors with the teacher, another way is to see which of the villa owners here are still single."
"Find them, show your charm, and let them marry you!"
Ma Hongmin said seriously, "Thanks for the tip! That is indeed a method. I will investigate this properly in the coming days."
She thought of something and asked, "Senior Sister Fang, you know so much about the villa sales; did your family buy one?"
"With Dean Fang's capabilities, buying one shouldn't be difficult right?"
Seeing the envious gazes directed her way, Fang Huanru said with amusement, "My dad may be the dean of Limin Hospital, but he's just a manager, not the owner of the hospital, so he doesn't earn that much."
"However, he did consider it at the time, but after much deliberation, buying proved too strenuous, so he didn't go for it."
She laughed again, "Now, we have become residents of this community as well."
"Even though we live in the lowest-grade small high-rise, having your own place right after starting work is quite rare in Binhai."
"You could say this has saved me from striving alone for ten years."
Song Licheng chuckled lightly, "Can't be compared to Senior Sister. For me, it's like saving twenty years of effort!"
"Saving twenty years is already pretty good!"
Wei Hongyang turned to look at their small high-rise and said, "For me, it's a lifetime!"
He said with great emotion, "If I hadn't met the teacher, with my foundational conditions, buying a house in Binhai would have been an impossible mission."
He Yimin thought for a moment and also said, "If I hadn't met the teacher, given my clumsy nature, I might have been assigned to logistics or auxiliary roles in some military hospital."
"If we hadn't met the teacher..."
Lu Xiaoyu, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, and a few others also murmured softly, imagining where they would be now if they hadn't met Lin Jie.
Guo Peng found their dreamy expressions somewhat amusing and said loudly, "What's the point of thinking about this? The teacher changed each of our lives."
"You're all wasting your time. I can confidently say that even if life could restart, there wouldn't be a better life than having met the teacher."
He then reminded them, "Instead of daydreaming, you might as well think about today's work!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fang pulled a bitter face and said, "I... I just graduated with a master's degree, and my group includes three chief doctors, five deputy chief doctors, and more than a dozen attending and skilled doctors."
"Just thinking about it gives me mountains of pressure, I barely slept last night."
Lu Xiaoyu pointed to her red eyes and said with a wry smile, "You didn't sleep well; I basically didn't sleep at all!"
"Facing these deputy and chief doctors from abroad, whether we're master's or doctor's graduates, it makes no difference; we're just rookies and greenhorns."
"And now, the teacher wants us to lead them?"
"This..."
Lu Xiaoyu whispered, "I am starting to suspect whether the teacher made that decision while drunk?"
Tian Xiangyu stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at the worried group, and shook his head, saying, "You all haven't understood the teacher's meaning at all, and you're there needlessly worrying, going down the wrong path!"
Ma Hongmin stepped forward, grabbing Tian Xiangyu's sleeve, urging, "Senior Brother, then quickly tell us, what does the teacher really mean?"
Tian Xiangyu organized his thoughts and said, "Why did these big doctors from well-known foreign medical institutions come here? We all know very well; they're mainly here to learn about the teacher's new tumor treatment method."
"This new method of inducing and controlling tumor growth, Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Fang, Ma Hongmin..."
Tian Xiangyu pointed out each uneasy-looking face by name and continued, "Tell me, besides the teacher, who knows more than we do?"
Without waiting for their response, he confidently continued, "No one!"
"So far, no doctor, other than the teacher, has a better grasp of the new method of inducing tumor growth than we do."
"Moreover, there are too many exchange doctors coming here to learn, and the teacher's energy is limited, so we have to be the ones to first guide them."
"This is why the teacher has let us take on the role of team leader."
"I'm sure the team members will also understand this, so you shouldn't worry that they will be uncooperative or deliberately find fault with us!"
Tian Xiangyu further explained, "Our main job is to teach them how to use the new method to treat tumors."
"If we encounter surgeries or tasks beyond our capabilities that we can't handle, we should let the chief or deputy chief physician in the group take over."
"Another main job of ours is to act as a bridge between the team members and the teacher, promptly conveying any issues we can't solve to the teacher."
"Does everyone understand what I'm saying?"
Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Fang, and others felt relieved, shouting, "Understood, thank you, Senior Brother, for clearing things up."
Tian Xiangyu then earnestly reminded, "Even though the teacher appointed us as team leaders, we must keep a low profile."
"These people come from top hospitals around the world; their abilities are unquestionable."
"In our work, aside from the new tumor method, don't make decisions on your own. If you don't understand, ask; if you're unsure, speak up. Don't pretend to know what you don't, or force your way through things, which would make us a laughingstock and disgrace the teacher."
"Yes, Senior Brother..."
At this moment, Lin Jie was just getting up from the bed in his office at Anlin Hospital.
He stood by the window, quietly watching the sunlit front yard below.
Yesterday, Lin Jie, An Kexin, An Weize, Gong Xuepeng, Fang Jianbin, and others discussed hospital work late into the night,
He didn't return to the city, staying directly at the hospital with An Kexin to rest.
As of last night, Anlin Hospital had admitted a total of five hundred and sixty-three inpatients, including four hundred and twenty-one patients with various solid tumors.
The large number of tumor patients gave Lin Jie a headache.
After discussions, they decided to split the visiting foreign doctors and the hospital's doctors into groups, led by Lin Jie's students.
Each group would be responsible for twenty to thirty tumor patients.
This was a solution of sorts.
Lin Jie couldn't spread himself too thin or personally teach so many people in his daily work, nor could he care for so many patients.
The students would guide them to first treat the tumor patients, letting them explore and learn while teaching themselves.
To the tumor patients, this seemed irresponsible, as they were being used as teaching cases.
Lin Jie consoled himself, realizing it was inevitable.
Getting this level of treatment was better for tumor patients than waiting helplessly for their condition to worsen and silently heading toward death.
Under the current treatment, their chance of surviving, though less than if Lin Jie personally handled everything, was still significant.
As for Lin Jie himself, he naturally wouldn't sit idle.
Apart from special cases, he no longer accepted new patients, dedicating more time to guidance and teaching.
Lin Jie gave a weekly thematic report and conducted a challenging and demonstrative teaching surgery.
He also rotated through each group for continuous guidance.
Lin Jie planned to spend a day with each group, providing guidance and teaching on their specific case treatment plans, taking about half a month to rotate through all the groups.
Standing still, looking at the scenery outside, Lin Jie felt a familiar presence coming closer.
He extended his hand and wrapped it around An Kexin's waist.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Nothing much, just experiencing the feeling of being in my own hospital."
"What's the feeling?" An Kexin asked with a smile.
"A new place, a new day, a new beginning!"
