Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1111 - 1071: Guest List

By nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the guests attending the party gradually left.After seeing off the guests, An Kexin returned and saw Lin Jie lounging lazily on the living room sofa. She sat beside him and gently asked, "Did Ouyang Zhizhen agree?"

Lin Jie tilted his body, resting his head on An Kexin's lap, and said, "He agreed, very straightforwardly."

"However, due to the labor contract, service period, and non-compete agreement, we still need permission from the other side of Langchao."

"Tomorrow, I have to communicate with Langchao's director, Nie Chuanyun."

Upon saying this, he sighed lightly and said, "These last few months, the distractions have been increasing, and I'm feeling less like a doctor and more like a businessman."

An Kexin stretched her hand to press against Lin Jie's temples, massaging them as she smiled and said, "This is the bigger the capability, the greater the responsibility."

"As a doctor, no matter how skilled, saving one or two thousand people a year is already impressive."

"But training dozens of students can save tens of thousands annually."

"Establishing a big hospital can treat hundreds of thousands in a year."

"Developing a medicine or treatment method can benefit millions in a year."

An Kexin leaned down and kissed Lin Jie's forehead, saying, "Although you're occupied with many things, in the future, the people who benefit because of you will geometrically increase."

Lin Jie said gloomily, "I understand the logic you're talking about."

"But many times, I just want to be a simple doctor, see patients, perform surgeries, and not worry about other things."

An Kexin gently touched Lin Jie's face and said, "Ah Jie, at your level now, many things will be pushed by invisible forces even if you don't actively pursue them."

"Just like how because of Elenna's tumor, you thought of an experimental treatment for it."

"The military came to you because of it."

"Furthermore, that inducer, even without Zhengmao Pharmaceutical, other pharmaceutical companies would seek you out."

"Because of your experimental results, even the prestigious 'The Lancet', one of the world's four major medical journals, has humbled itself to cheer for you."

"If truly you are successfully nominated as the youngest Nobel Prize in Physiology winner, they will greatly benefit, enhancing the reputation of 'The Lancet'."

An Kexin sighed softly and said, "Previously, I didn't quite understand the phrase 'no choice', but now I truly feel it."

"Just like Zhao Kuangyin had to wear the yellow robe, Ah Jie, the tangible and intangible interests you represent are vast. They are all very shrewd and naturally see your value."

Lin Jie reached out, touched An Kexin's face reversely, and asked, "Are you and the An Family one of these interest pushers too?"

An Kexin held Lin Jie's hand, looked down into his eyes, and said, "Of course, we are."

"Initially to treat my father's tumor, then it was Anlin Hospital."

"Now, there's Anlin Garden, Anlin Intelligent Medical Research and Development Center, and there will be Anlin Pharmaceutical."

"After successful collaboration with Morrison Industries, there will be Anlin Medical Equipment…"

She remarked, "In just over two years, so many businesses have formed around you."

"The combined investment is around a billion, and the future output will be hundreds of billions, even thousands."

"Ah Jie, all these are driven by you, isn't it a great sense of accomplishment?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said gloomily, "It's just a name, the actual benefit I gain is very little."

An Kexin pinched Lin Jie's nose and laughed, "Ah Jie, don't be too greedy."

"The equity you personally hold in these enterprises won't be less than five percent."

"Perhaps in a few years, you'll become China's richest person."

An Kexin then asked, "Speaking of equity, the potion proposed by Zhou Ziyan, what's your thought?"

Lin Jie candidly said, "Forty percent is a bit too much. If the other side insists, then one or two percent will do."

An Kexin laughed, "Others always think the opponent gets too much, but you all are funny, thinking you hold too much."

"Also, about Anlin Pharmaceutical, what's your thought?"

Lin Jie snickered, "On that, you represent me, aggressively discuss interests, ask for a lot. Zhengmao Pharmaceutical doesn't lack money."

An Kexin waved a small fist and joyously said, "Ah Jie, rest assured, I will definitely cut a big piece of meat."

At this moment, Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and Yao Henan returned from outside.

These three had eaten quite a lot for dinner and went to the rooftop garden to digest.

Yao Henan looked around and asked, "Uncle, haven't seen Lele, are she and Yuanyuan not coming back tonight?"

An Kexin replied for Lin Jie, "Your Aunt Shen called, saying Yuanyuan fell asleep at her place, so she won't be sent back tonight, and Lele is probably having too much fun to want to return."

"That's just as well! You and Xiaoxiao will be going to the United States in a few days, so it's good for Yuanyuan to get used to it a bit."

Lin Jie turned over and sat up, grumbling, "They've taken Yuanyuan away, let's hope they don't take away Lele as well."

"With me here, no one can take Lele away!" Lin Miao replied confidently.

Lin Jie glanced at Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and Yao Henan and said, "I've already instructed Qin Gang, these few days, he will drive you and Bi Xiyan around for a good look."

"Brother, I still have work to do," Lin Miao reminded.

"Just take a leave!"

Lin Jie spoke apologetically, "I've been busy these past days and haven't spent much time with you. Take these days as a break for yourself."

Lin Miao responded with an "oh," then asked, "Isn't Xiaoxiao coming with us?"

"I asked her, and Xiaoxiao said she has some personal matters to handle and meals with a few friends."

"It's getting late; you all should go back to your rooms, wash up, and get some sleep."

After watching the three of them go up to the second floor, Lin Jie quietly asked, "Kexin, Kemeng hasn't been home lately, is she still having a tiff with Uncle An?"

"What, are you annoyed with Kemeng?" An Kexin retorted a bit sharply.

Lin Jie quickly shook his head and explained, "How could I be annoyed! Kemeng always calls me Brother Jie; she's just like Miaomiao, both are my sisters, how could I be annoyed with her."

"I'm just worried that over time, Kemeng's opinion of Uncle An might grow deeper!"

An Kexin complained a bit, "Well, let it be deep! Anyway, Dad's mind is all on that pregnant woman, and he's completely forgotten about us two daughters."

That resentment seemed quite deep.

Lin Jie decided not to continue on this topic and instead asked, "Kexin, how are the wedding preparations coming along? And what about the villa in the Phoenix Mountain District, is it renovated yet?"

An Kexin sulked a bit, "Finally thinking about the wedding preparations now?"

"I thought you might only remember on the wedding day when someone reminds you, 'Oh, today I'm attending a wedding as the groom!'"

Lin Jie chuckled awkwardly and said, "That's because everything is in your capable hands."

He reached out and pulled An Kexin into his arms, kissing her hair gently, "With you handling everything, I don't have any worries, because I know you'll have everything well organized."

An Kexin lightly hummed through her nose, leaning softly against Lin Jie's chest, "Speaking of the wedding, the people from the Crown Holiday Hotel have asked a few times if we have finalized our guest list."

"Guest list?"

Lin Jie said, confused, "There's still more than two months until our wedding, do we need to confirm the guest list so early?"

An Kexin said proudly, "That's because the Crown Holiday Hotel is worried that our wedding may have too many guests."

"Ah Jie, their largest banquet hall can accommodate around five hundred people dining at the same time. Together, the banquet halls can host a maximum of fifteen hundred diners."

"If our guest numbers exceed fifteen hundred, they can make some adjustments and preparations in advance."

Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "There's no way our wedding guests would exceed fifteen hundred; they are worrying for nothing."

"Really?"

An Kexin broke free from Lin Jie's embrace, sat up straight, and smiled, "I feel that exceeding fifteen hundred people is quite simple."

"Ah Jie, don't underestimate your own influence."

She started counting with her fingers, "The old neighbors from Garden One, anyone with a bit of connection to you won't miss it."

"That's at least two or three hundred people, right?"

An Kexin gestured with her hand again, "The residents of Xiangtai Apartment, except for some quarreling families, would all likely show up, right? That's at least another two or three hundred people."

"The Golden Tripod Building where my family is has similar circumstances, that's another two or three hundred."

"People from the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital and Binhai University, three hundred people isn't too many, right?"

"And Binhai Medical Community colleagues, there should be about a hundred of them, right?"

"Our Anlin Hospital, Anlin Charity Fund, your students, and the studio — they'll all definitely want to attend the wedding."

"Even if many from Anlin Hospital can't get off work, at least three hundred will come, right?"

"Doctors from across the country, even abroad, plus grateful patients of yours..."

Listening to An Kexin's calculations, Lin Jie's head started feeling heavy. He said in confusion, "Most of these people you mentioned only have a superficial relationship with me, some don't even nod when we meet."

"They wouldn't come, would they?"

An Kexin giggled, "Ah Jie, they'll come."

"Don't forget your status. You're a world-famous doctor. They won't miss such an opportunity to attend a wedding and make connections with you."
