Chapter 1152 - 1111: Feeling a Bit Worn Out

Near four in the afternoon, Ling Mengjiao arrived at the Affiliated Hospital to report to Lin Jie about the preparations for the first medical salon event."Lin Jie, on your personal website, the 'Medical Salon' section is now online. This section is similar to a forum, allowing users to register, leave comments, and post medical opinions and questions."

"Even though the registration feature is open, to activate the comment posting function, users must register with their real name and answer ten medical questions correctly within a limited time."

Ling Mengjiao explained, "The purpose of this approach is to filter out professionals and prevent numerous posts unrelated to medicine."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Very good idea."

"This is a pure medical discussion forum; we don't want it to turn into a place where ordinary users swarm to seek medical advice."

"That's exactly what we also wish to avoid."

Ling Mengjiao echoed, and then softly added, "Lin Jie, for the medical salon at Qushui Garden this time, we are using the method of individual real-name application and issuing electronic QR code tickets for admission."

"As you mentioned earlier, as long as the applicant is an active member of the medical community, we will issue a pass to them."

"We've done the tally, and as of twelve noon today, over six hundred passes have been issued."

"Isn't that number overly high?"

"So many people applied?" The figure made Lin Jie somewhat surprised.

He initially thought at best it would be around one or two hundred people.

Seems like he underestimated his own influence, he thought with a hint of pride.

Ling Mengjiao chuckled lightly, "It's the first event of the medical salon, and with you as the main speaker, it's naturally highly anticipated by the domestic medical community."

"Currently, among the applications we've received, more than a hundred seventy are medical workers living outside the region."

"Lin Jie, should we impose any restrictions on the number of attendees?"

Lin Jie waved his hand, saying, "No need to limit."

"For the first event of the medical salon, having more attendees is a good thing. Greater influence attracts more attention, which, in turn, draws more people to participate in discussions, which is beneficial."

"Work with the hotel staff to ensure the smooth execution and logistical support of the event."

Ling Mengjiao nodded, "The hotel is also taking this event seriously; they won't schedule other events on that day."

Just then, Jian Jia knocked and entered, saying angrily, "Dr. Lin, Director Ling, a post has appeared online claiming that Dr. Lin prefers the wealthy and only serves high-profile individuals, ignoring those who are poor and desperately plead for help."

Lin Jie found the post online that Jian Jia was referring to.

The post included several images, such as a Maybach convoy with Arabs, a man kneeling before Lin Jie that morning, and Lin Jie being escorted away.

The poster provided explanations, mentioning that the luxurious Maybach convoy consisted of Arabs.

The poster claimed these Arabs specifically came to Binhai University Affiliated Hospital to seek out Lin Jie, and after speaking with Lin Jie, the convoy left the Affiliated Hospital and headed to Anlin Hospital in Phoenix Mountain District.

The kneeling man's wife had cancer; he had pleaded for Lin Jie's help but was directly refused.

This post already accumulated over a hundred comments, mostly accusing Lin Jie of being money-minded and undeserving of being a doctor.

After reading the post and comments, Ling Mengjiao angrily said, "Lin Jie, I'll have the studio refute them…"

"No need!"

Lin Jie stopped Ling Mengjiao with a wave of his hand and sighed, "The post is factual; there's no fabrication, let it be."

Ling Mengjiao anxiously replied, "But the post has a clear bias, and under the intentional guidance of keyboard warriors, it could lead to highly unfavorable public opinion against you!"

Lin Jie sneered slightly, unconcerned, "Mengjiao, with my current reputation and status, should I worry about online defamation and manipulation of narratives?"

"Besides, Anlin Hospital isn't short of patients anymore."

"Those who cannot discern online information aren't potential patients for me or Anlin Hospital; let them be."

Impressed by Lin Jie's calm and composed demeanor, Ling Mengjiao asked directly, "Lin Jie, aren't you worried about being criticized as someone who only cares about money?"

"In a certain sense, that criticism holds truth."

With a bland tone, Lin Jie said, "When choosing between saving a successful person or an ordinary person, and I can only save one, I'd definitely choose the successful one."

"Speaking practically, I choose the successful person because I can receive greater returns from them."

"In a more dignified sense, successful individuals can contribute more to society compared to ordinary people."

Despite some logic in this statement, Ling Mengjiao still asked for confirmation, "Lin Jie, are you sure we shouldn't take any action?"

"Really no need!"

Lin Jie reiterated, "Let them be."

"I admit I'm not a paragon of virtue nor a saint, and I do have a special pursuit for money."

"Nevertheless, I also believe I've made significant contributions, and the money I earned is well-deserved."

"Online criticism of me has happened more than once or twice."

"I don't want to waste time arguing with people online; it just leads to more confusion and misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Ling Mengjiao keenly sensed that Lin Jie was feeling heartbroken and exhausted.

She suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Lin Jie had obviously accomplished so many major things, yet there were always some people who were blind to it, instead clinging to one point and relentlessly criticizing from their so-called moral high ground.

Ling Mengjiao forced herself to smile and said, "Okay, let's not focus on this matter anymore, let's pretend it doesn't exist."

"Let me brief you again about some specific arrangements for the salon activities..."

More than half an hour later, Ling Mengjiao left the office, called Jian Jia out as well, and softly instructed, "Although Lin Jie expressed indifference to this matter, he still cares deep down. He just wants to avoid the trouble by not seeing it."

"If anyone comes to visit, remind them not to mention this matter in front of him."

Jian Jia nodded and said, "Director Ling, I'll remind everyone."

As Ling Mengjiao left the complex building and reached the parking area, a red Porsche stopped beside her.

Then she saw a girl, dressed in sneakers, shorts, and a cute T-shirt, with big sunglasses, looking youthful and vibrant, jumping out of the car.

Ling Mengjiao recognized her at a glance; wasn't it An Kemeng?

Seeing her get out from the driver's seat, Leng Mengjiao curiously asked, "Kemeng, you just turned eighteen and already have a driver's license?"

An Kemeng pushed her sunglasses up her forehead, took out her driver's license, and flaunted it, saying, "Thanks to Gege Lin's connections, I passed several exams in succession and got my license today."

"I came here this time to take Gege Lin for a ride!"

At this moment, An Kemeng also noticed the brand-new Mercedes GLA next to Ling Mengjiao and asked, "Mengjiao sister, did you buy a car?"

"It's a new car for the studio, convenient for work needs!"

Ling Mengjiao explained.

She initially wanted to persuade An Kemeng that having just obtained a driver's license, she shouldn't risk Lin Jie's safety, but then remembered Lin Jie's amazing driving skills, with Guan Muhua around to take care of things, there wouldn't be any reckless actions, so she didn't bring it up.

After parting with Ling Mengjiao, An Kemeng bounced her way to Lin Jie's office.

Before even arriving, her voice came through, "Gege Lin, I got my driver's license, how about I take you for a spin?"

Lin Jie put down a health check report and saw a fair little hand waving a driver's license in front of him.

He took the license, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Hmm, doesn't look like a fake!"

"How could it be fake?"

An Kemeng pouted and said, "I worked really hard and passed with my real skills, okay?"

"Gege Lin, are you done with work?"

"Once you're done, I'll take you for a ride, then treat you to a big meal to celebrate my getting the license smoothly."

Feeling somewhat exhausted, Lin Jie also wanted to relax a bit, so he stood up and smiled, "Alright, let's go for a ride..."

Minutes later, Lin Jie was sitting in the passenger seat of the Porsche.

Seeing An Kemeng not starting the car yet, he urged, "Why aren't you driving? Did you suddenly get amnesia and forget how to start the car?"

An Kemeng turned to look at Lin Jie, giggling, and asked, "Gege Lin, do you really trust me that much?"

"I just got my license, and I'm a girl, aren't you worried at all? Not even a tiny bit worried?"

"Worried about what? Are you going to drive the car into a ditch on purpose?"

Lin Jie laughed and urged again, "Come on, let's drive!"

An Kemeng responded with an "Oh," and started the car.

But she had barely turned the steering wheel before she sighed deeply and turned off the engine.

"Gege Lin, if it were my sister sitting beside me, I'd start the car without a word. But with you sitting here, I'm a bit afraid."

She said gloomily, "You aren't just my sister's; you're Miaomiao's, and the responsibility of all the people nationwide and worldwide. This responsibility is too great; I can't bear it."

An Kemeng handed the car keys to Lin Jie, saying, "Gege Lin, you drive instead!"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Kemeng, you're good, knowing that driving comes with a lot of responsibility."

"Fine, you can drive; I trust your driving skills."

He further explained, "Let me tell you, I asked that traffic officer friend to only make special arrangements for your exam timing, but when it came to exam content and requirements, I specifically instructed him to set high standards like veteran drivers for you."

"So, your driver's license holds high value and deserves my trust."

An Kemeng was momentarily stunned, then realized, "No wonder others finish their driving tests in about twenty minutes, but mine took more than two hours."

"I even went on the overpass, drove through one-way streets, and traversed several busy roads, just barely missed the highway. So it was all your arrangement!"

"It's for your responsibility!"

Lin Jie gestured forward and loudly said, "An Kemeng, listen to my command, start the engine..."
