Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 962 - 926: Winning Through Knowledge

"Oh, oh, it's so hot, so hot..."With a constant shout from her mouth and a beaming smile in her eyes, Lin Miao held a sizable roasted sweet potato, quickly switching it between her hands.

Lin Jie, walking alongside her on the sidewalk, couldn't help but interject, reaching out his hand: "Give me the sweet potato, I'll hold it for you for a while."

"No, I can't give it to you!"

Lin Miao blew vigorously on the sweet potato in her hand, glanced at Lin Jie, and said, "What if your hands get burned? Your hands are very precious indeed."

"Hey, brother, have you insured your hands?"

She elaborated: "Isn't there reports online about celebrities insuring their hands, long legs, noses, and whatnot for large sums?"

"Your hands save lives, they mustn't be harmed, and should definitely be insured for a hefty amount."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "You really have a vivid imagination."

"I save people not because of my hands, but because of the immense medical knowledge in my mind."

Perhaps the sweet potato was no longer too hot, Lin Miao broke off a steaming piece of the red-yellow flesh and tossed it into her mouth.

"Oh, it's hot and sweet."

After blowing off some steam, Lin Miao broke off another piece, blew on it, and brought it to Lin Jie's mouth.

"Brother, you should try some too."

Lin Jie took a bite and nodded, "It's indeed very sweet."

Seeing Lin Miao eating happily, he reminded her, "Just have a few bites to satisfy your craving; we'll be having dinner soon."

"Roasted sweet potatoes fill you up easily, but they don't keep you satiated, and they can make you gassy."

Lin Miao giggled and said, "Eating roasted sweet potatoes in this cold weather is the best. Just a few bites won't do!"

"Brother, have another piece!"

Lin Jie, with helplessness, just had to share the two-to-three-pound roasted sweet potato with Lin Miao, taking turns having a bite each.

Throwing the paper bag with the sweet potato peels into a trash can, Lin Miao pointed at a nearby 24-hour convenience store with a Haode sign and shouted, "Brother, let's just have some oden and tea eggs for dinner."

These small 24-hour convenience stores often have two electric pots at the checkout counter, one for oden and one for tea eggs.

Earlier, on winter evenings, Lin Jie would often close up the sundry shop and buy a few skewers of oden and a couple of tea eggs to take home and share with Lin Miao for just a few bucks.

Eating a skewer of oden and taking a sip of the flavorful hot broth was one of the rare enjoyable moments for the siblings on winter nights.

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "How can these count as dinner, as a snack maybe!"

"Why not! Come on, brother!"

Lin Miao tugged on Lin Jie's arm and headed to the Haode convenience store, then turned to call out to Guan Muhua, who was following them, "Brother Guan, I'll treat you to oden and tea eggs, have as much as you want."

As expected, when they entered the convenience store, two steaming electric pots were at the checkout counter.

The familiar aroma wafted over, and Lin Jie couldn't help but twitch his nose.

Lin Miao pointed at the two pots and boldly said, "Dinner is on me tonight. Just eat as much oden and tea eggs as you want."

The shopkeeper, a woman in her forties, gave the three of them a curious look upon hearing this.

Seeing the oden cooked in the electric pot, which was about thirty skewers, Lin Jie pointed to the pot and asked, "Ma'am, are these all cooked? We'll take the whole pot; please tell us how much it costs!"

Recognizing them as rare "big customers," the shopkeeper welcomed them with a smile, quickly counted twice, and quoted a price of ninety-three yuan.

Lin Jie declined the offer to pack it to go, and the three stood in front of the checkout counter, eating around the electric pot.

The taste was still good, but after Lin Jie and Lin Miao each ate seven or eight skewers, they couldn't eat anymore.

The rest was finished by Guan Muhua alone, and not only that, but he also ate five tea eggs.

As they walked out of the convenience store, Lin Miao looked back and said, "Brother, you used to bring back two or three skewers at night, and I was always left wanting more."

"I often thought that once I had the money, I'd eat my fill."

"But now that I have the means, I had almost forgotten about this. It was by chance today that I remembered and fulfilled it, only to find that it doesn't feel the same as before."

Lin Jie pinched her little nose and smiled, "Why are you being so sentimental? The situation has just changed."

"It's like Zhu Yuanzhang, when he was a beggar, jade soup felt like the ultimate delicacy, but when he became emperor, he couldn't even stomach the same taste anymore."

"Let's go, now that dinner's done, let's go watch a movie!"

Lin Miao murmured an agreement, took Lin Jie's arm, and walked toward the nearby cinema.

"Brother, let me tell you something interesting."

"At last night's party, I saw Mengmeng and that Xue Linlin teaming up against a tall, big guy."

"That guy was full of arrogance, and it's fair to say that he made Mengmeng and Xue Linlin scream in anger. If they didn't think they couldn't win, those two might have even started a fight."

Lin Jie found it quite amusing too and asked, "Do you know who that guy was?"

"I asked Mengmeng, and she said that arrogant guy is also your student, named Shu... Shu..."

Lin Jie chimed in and said, "Called Shu Hongwen?"

"Yes, yes! His name is Shu Hongwen! Brother, do you have a deep impression of him?"

Lin Jie nodded slightly and chuckled, "He's the helm of our Binhai's famous East Sea Real Estate, Shu Yueze's youngest son, from a prominent family."

"As far as I know, Shu Hongwen had an accident when he was a child, losing feeling in his lower limbs."

"He managed to stand up again through relentless daily training, regaining nerve control over his lower limbs."

"With that sheer willpower, he can overlook most people."

"Moreover, he's only a sophomore in high school, and being able to make it to the final round among thousands of competitors, he truly is a genius."

"Kemeng and Xue Linlin have found themselves quite a formidable opponent."

Lin Miao gave a soft "oh," and lightly laughed, "Although Mengmeng works hard herself, she's somewhat conceited and proud because of her relationship with you, brother."

"With such a formidable rival now, it might be a good thing for her..."

Saying this, Lin Miao suddenly stopped walking, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Brother, let's not go to the movies."

"Let's go home!"

Lin Jie noticed her somewhat awkward expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Stomach feeling unwell..."

Before he could finish asking, he heard a muffled "poof" sound and immediately understood.

Grabbing Lin Miao, he briskly walked a few steps to leave the polluted area, and couldn't help but laugh, "In such circumstances, going to the movies isn't suitable. Might get beaten up, haha..."

"Brother, stop laughing!"

Lin Miao said, slightly annoyed and embarrassed, "You're still laughing! Don't forget, you ate quite a lot too, hmph!"

Fortunately for Lin Jie, on the way home, Lin Miao managed to control herself well without causing any pollution in the car.

After getting home, Lin Miao played with Lele.

Lin Jie went into the study to make further preparations for the surgeries over the next few days, including a secret surgery case from Germany...

Just past ten in the evening, An Kexin returned and told Lin Jie two things.

First, the negotiation of terms for exchanging and training young doctors with the First Military Medical University's Affiliated Hospital was finalized.

Currently, they are solely sending young doctors to Anlin Hospital for training, with an annual training fee of a hundred thousand per doctor.

The second item was that the Tiande Medical Technology Research Institute was a bit upset with the resignations of Yuan Xianjun and others, and directly fired them.

With a smile, An Kexin said, "Tiande Research Institute doing that actually aligns with my wishes. The earlier our development starts, the sooner the Life Healing Box can enter the market."

"I have quite high hopes for this product."

"It's not about how much money it will make, but its potential to enhance the medical device company's reputation and style."

Lin Jie gave a big yawn and said, "Haste makes waste. Since the aim is reputation, don't rush. A good product is carefully crafted."

"Tired, let's sleep early."

Amused, An Kexin said, "You sure are sleepy earlier today."

"A-Jie, last night and this morning, I was merely giving you a strong reminder; I won't fish by draining the pond."

"So, rest assured tonight, no need to worry, I won't be pushing you further."

"You don't need to pretend to be sleepy!"

Lin Jie scoffed and said, "First of all, I'm not pretending; I really am tired. Also, I'm not afraid of your so-called pushing."

"If I didn't have surgery tomorrow, I'd absolutely fight with you for three hundred rounds until you concede and surrender."

With a bright smile, An Kexin, seemingly without sincerity, said, "Yes, yes, you're strong, really strong. I totally admit defeat."

"You go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower."

As she hummed a little tune, swaying her way to the bathroom, Lin Jie sulkily thought to himself that he must make a spectacular display of prowess the night after tomorrow, forcing a total surrender from her.

Otherwise, she'd forever have the upper hand in this matter, and he could never turn it around.

Just that in this matter, men are at a natural disadvantage.

Even if a woman is as limp as mud one minute, after resting for a few minutes, she can be revived full of vigor.

Whereas a man's endurance for continuous battle is considerably poor.

Rubbing his chin, Lin Jie contemplated a strategy.

As a highly knowledgeable medical expert, Lin Jie knew as much as one could know about his own and women's body structure, how to prolong his time, and where women's excitement points lie.

Before, in such matters, Lin Jie had scoffed at equipping himself with extensive knowledge, just letting sheer emotion take the lead, indulging thoroughly.

But now, Lin Jie thought it necessary to change the strategy and use knowledge to claim victory!!
