Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1155 - 1114: No Room for Negotiation

On the morning of the 14th, Lin Jie came to the living room and saw An Kexin talking on the phone."Have the cafeteria prepare more green bean soup, sour plum soup and the like. Today's weather forecast says the temperature might exceed thirty degrees. Don't let those people get heatstroke..."

After An Kexin hung up the phone, Lin Jie asked, "Weren't those foreigners all arranged in the hospital lobby yesterday? There's air conditioning, so why worry about heatstroke?"

An Kexin sighed, rubbing her forehead, and said worriedly, "The news of hundreds of foreigners lining up was spread through social media and media accounts yesterday afternoon, becoming a hot topic online, and many people couldn't sit still."

"This morning, more than a hundred locals have joined the line at the hospital entrance, and the number is still increasing."

"The hospital lobby can't hold so many people."

Seeing an undeniable sense of joy on her face, Lin Jie shook his head and laughed, "If you're happy, just show it. Pretending to sigh while rubbing your forehead is so fake!"

An Kexin chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Slophel's method of fooling Americans into spending money would really create a buzz, giving Anlin Hospital some publicity!"

"Were those foreigners all brought by Slophel?" Lin Jie was a little surprised.

An Kexin nodded, smiling, "This morning, when I contacted Slophel, he explained everything to me."

"He said that given your world-famous reputation as the top cancer doctor, and the scale of Anlin Hospital's beds, he figured he might as well fool some Americans."

"He found some images and news about queues in big hospitals here and exaggerated the difficulty of getting medical treatment in China. Unexpectedly, many American patients believed it."

"They were even willing to pay Slophel to hire people to travel miles to line up here."

Lin Jie laughed and couldn't help but say, "This Slophel is a bit silly. Why didn't he just hire a local agency in Binhai?"

"At least he could have saved on the airfare for these foreigners."

An Kexin lightly patted Lin Jie on the shoulder and said, "Slophel isn't silly; he meant well."

"He said a group of Americans queuing at a Chinese hospital should create some publicity."

"And since the patients paid, this is like a grand opening gift for us."

Lin Jie shook his head, chuckling lightly, "What a unique opening gift indeed."

An Kexin happily said, "I actually hope that there will be more unique and effective grand opening gifts like this."

"Oh, and Slophel also said he had someone check these patients' conditions. Most are in the early to middle stages and have some assets. Their medical insurance covers a wide range of treatments, so they can get reimbursed for treatment here."

Lin Jie nodded and then asked, "When will all the approvals for the hospital opening be finalized?"

An Kexin softly said, "The fire safety inspection was just completed yesterday, and all the staff received fire safety training and conducted a fire drill. We should get the fire safety certificate today."

"Once we have the fire safety certificate, all the necessary licenses for opening the hospital will be in place."

"Ajie, are you thinking of?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "The opening ceremony can be on the 18th, but let's start admitting patients first. If something happens while these patients' families are waiting in line for three to five days, it won't be good."

An Kexin looked troubled and said, "Ajie, it's a bit challenging."

"According to the plan, the next couple of days are scheduled for restocking drugs, blood products, and medical consumables. Admitting a few or a dozen patients is manageable; their required drugs can be procured anytime."

"But admitting so many patients at once presents a huge challenge in preparing these drugs."

"If something goes wrong, the responsibility would be enormous."

This issue was something Lin Jie hadn't considered.

He didn't insist further and casually said, "Then speed up the preparations and try to advance as much as possible."

An Kexin stated, "Once we arrive at Qushui Garden, I'll communicate with Dean Gong, Vice Director Fang, and others to see if we can adjust the work arrangements and try to open the hospital doors early to accept patients..."

After breakfast, Guan Muhua drove Lin Jie, Lin Miao, An Kexin, and An Kemeng to Qushui Garden.

This morning at ten, it's the start of the first event of the Qushui Garden Medical Salon.

As the host, Lin Jie naturally needed to arrive a bit earlier.

On the way, An Kexin said with great interest, "Ajie, Miaomiao, Kemeng, from that Arab sheikh, I've witnessed a glimpse of the truly luxurious lifestyle of top-echelon people."

"Not to mention other things, there are four chefs accompanying him, and all the ingredients are flown in daily."

"They even said that if it weren't for animal quarantine and inspection restrictions, they would have flown specially raised camels here for the sheikh to drink the freshest camel milk."

An Kemeng said disdainfully, "I'm not envious at all!"

"Living such a fine and exquisite life, yet he still got a brain tumor and traveled miles to come to us for treatment from Brother Jie."

"By the way, big sister, I heard they eat camel meat. Have you tried it?"

An Kexin nodded and said, "They are quite generous; they specially roasted a lot of camel meat for us to taste."

She reminisced, "The texture is slightly tougher than beef, but the roasted flavor is quite delicious."

Seeing An Kemeng lick her lips, An Kemeng chuckled and said, "Want to try it? Camel meat should be available in the Binhai market."

"If you want to eat it, we can ask Aunt Lu to buy some and try cooking it."

An Kemeng shook her head and said, "Never mind! The chefs brought by the sheikh are naturally experts at roasting camel meat. If we buy and cook it ourselves, it surely won't taste good."

Lin Jie reached out to pat An Kemeng's head and said, "There will be a chance to taste it."

"Once the sheikh's condition improves, I'll see if we can invite their chefs to prepare an authentic Arab feast for us."

An Kexin understood the implication and happily asked, "Ajie, have you come up with a surgery plan?"

Lin Jie hesitated slightly and sighed lightly, "I just thought of a way to seek life in death."

He further explained, "The chieftain's tumor is too deep, close to many sensitive areas in the brain, and it's too large. Using an inducer, it's already too late."

"The only method I can think of now is to implant several expanders on the lower left side of the tumor."

Lin Jie gestured with his hands, "Gradually inject fluid into the expanders, causing them to enlarge, using this straightforward physical method to squeeze the tumor, making it move to a relatively easier place for surgery."

An Kexin clapped her hands and said, "This is a good method; it sounds feasible."

Lin Jie glanced at her and said, "I haven't mentioned the risks yet."

"Originally, the patient's brain tumor was already large, and now with these expanders implanted, it's equivalent to several additional tumors growing inside his head, which will significantly increase his intracranial pressure."

"Therefore, while the expander gradually enlarges, the patient's head needs a hole to relieve intracranial pressure."

"Even so, during this process, the patient is likely to develop brain herniation due to excessively high pressure and imbalance in some intracranial areas, directly announcing over."

"During the forced relocation of the tumor, the patient also has the possibility of brain hemorrhage and infection, directly over."

"Even if everything goes as wished and the tumor is moved to a suitable surgical position through this method, this suitable position is only relatively suitable, and the difficulty of surgery is still very high."

Lin Jie said realistically, "I don't have much confidence, and the possibility of over during the surgery process is also considerable."

"In short, this treatment plan is a risky plan with life-threatening challenges, and the patient has to cross many gates of life and death."

An Kexin disapprovingly said, "Ajie, which of the high-difficulty surgeries you've handled in the past wasn't challenging and life-risking? This time, you will definitely succeed; I have full confidence."

"Brother Jie, I have confidence in you too!"

Lin Miao also hurriedly expressed, "Brother, my confidence in you is more than one hundred times full."

Lin Jie ruffled the heads of An Kexin, Lin Miao, and An Kemeng one by one, humming, "Your confidence isn't worth a hammer; I don't have much confidence!"

"Oh no, my hair, I worked hard to style it!"

An Kexin glared at Lin Jie and shouted, "Miaomiao, Kemeng, someone is itching for a fight; you two come and suppress him with me..."

Just past nine o'clock, the Hui Teng car stopped in front of the street-side building of Qushui Garden.

After getting off the car, Lin Jie saw dozens of flower baskets placed before the entrance, along with numerous banners.

He glanced around and found that these were sent by various medical units and individuals congratulating the grand hosting of the medical salon event.

At this time, Ling Mengjiao, Gong Xuepeng, and others came over quickly.

Ling Mengjiao was the first to speak, "Lin Jie, more than two hundred seventy people have entered."

Gong Xuepeng continued, "All thirty-seven doctors of vice-director level and above from Anlin Hospital have arrived."

Lin Jie nodded while greeting and nodding to many colleagues who had just gotten off their cars and hurried over.

Surrounded by many people, Lin Jie entered the building.

"Expert Lin! Expert Lin!"

At this moment, a man in his fifties quickly approached Lin Jie and introduced himself, "I am Fu Xiao from Yubei First Hospital, who has come intentionally to participate in the medical salon."

Lin Jie politely said, "Welcome! Welcome!"

Fu Xiao hurriedly continued, "Expert Lin, besides attending the event, I also need to apologize to you for another matter!"

"Apologize?"

Lin Jie stopped and asked, "Dr. Fu, what is the apology you mentioned?"

Fu Xiao spoke with guilt, "It's like this, my nephew Fu Jie previously signed a work contract with your hospital. Recently, he got an opportunity and went to the United States."

"Because he was particularly rushed for time, he temporarily neglected to contact here. Now he asks me to come over, to explain to your hospital and properly handle the work agreement matter."

Lin Jie's face hardened, and he mocked, "Rushed for time? Didn't even have time to make a call? If it wasn't for our lawyer contacting his family, I guess he wouldn't have thought of asking you to come and contact us."

"Since he breached the contract, proceed according to contract stipulations. Before the deadline, pay the stipulated breach of contract fees and other costs."

After saying this, Lin Jie was about to walk away when he heard Fu Xiao call again, "Expert Lin, two million for breach of contract is too high. It's hard to get an opportunity to study abroad, please understand."

"Understand?"

Lin Jie coldly said, "I understand him? Did he understand us?"

"Without a single notification, he directly ghosted us and ran abroad."

"Is two million really high for breach of contract?"

Lin Jie glanced at the crowd around and said, "This Fu Jie had no objections to this figure when signing the contract. At the time of signing, he received a one hundred thousand signing bonus."

"Besides the signing bonus, our expenses included payments to the headhunting company and several interview costs. Additionally, we prepared housing, dealt with household registration, and arranged a job for his partner."

"Moreover, the huge loss caused by his sudden breach, leaving without notice, makes me honestly feel that the two million breach of contract is quite low."

Lin Jie looked at Fu Xiao and said, "The breach of contract is non-negotiable!"

"Please convey to him that if he thinks he can hide abroad without compensating for our loss, then let him try..."
