Chapter 1184 - 1142: The Art of Stalling
"Expert Lin, here, let me introduce you!"Binhai City's Executive Vice Mayor Gu enthusiastically introduced: "This is Shao Liping, Director of the Health Commission in the Capital City, and this is Xu Guanghui, Director of the National Ministry of Education."
Lin Jie courteously exchanged greetings with the two directors, glanced at Pan Xinli, Yuan Guangxi, and others, and realized, "Has the relocation of Binhai University Medical School been confirmed?"
Vice Mayor Gu nodded, "The final decision has not been made yet! Both directors have brought a working group to conduct an on-site investigation and address specific issues."
Lin Jie suddenly understood.
Once these two working groups return to the Capital City, it will mean that the relocation of Binhai University Medical School is officially on the agenda.
He looked at Vice Mayor Gu and asked, "Has the relocation site been confirmed?"
Vice Mayor Gu chuckled lightly, "Binhai City offers maximum support for the relocation of Binhai University Medical School. We have allocated 1500 acres of land in the Phoenix Mountain District, free for Binhai University Medical School to use."
"The specific location…"
He smiled and said, "It's right on the west side of Anlin Garden! There's also a part of the hilly area being allocated to the Medical School as requested by Dean Yuan."
Yuan Guangxi chuckled and said, "If the entire campus is flat, it would be too monotonous. A hilly area can enhance the scenery, making it more beautiful and diverse."
"I've thought it out!"
He said enthusiastically, "I plan to pave a road adorned with flowers and trees on that hill, linking the Medical School and Anlin Hospital for easy access."
"A great idea!" Lin Jie praised in agreement.
Vice Mayor Gu laughed heartily, "With the strong alliance between Anlin Hospital and Binhai University Medical School, they can both achieve remarkable global success."
He then asked, "Expert Lin, can we find a quiet room for a casual chat?"
Seeing their unique statuses appearing together, Lin Jie understood they were here for him.
He gestured with a hand, "Please follow me."
He led Vice Mayor Gu, Pan Xinli, and others to the non-public reception room on the fifth floor. After Ling Mengjiao, Zhao Fang, and others served tea, Lin Jie spoke directly, "You must be here about Anlin Medical College, right?"
Shao Liping from the Health Commission nodded, "Indeed, we're here for that. Minister Xiao also asked me to inquire whether you've thought it through, Expert Lin?"
Before Lin Jie could respond, Pan Xinli was the first to speak, "Expert Lin, let me clarify, we're not here to pressure you."
"We just heard the scenery here is nice, and the medical salon held here is famous. After discussing today's matters, we thought to visit and inquire about your opinion on Anlin Medical College."
Pan Xinli glanced at Vice Mayor Gu, Yuan Guangxi, Shao Liping, and others, and slowly said, "Expert Lin, your remarkable achievements over the past two years since your successful surgery are acknowledged by all."
"Without exaggerating, perhaps the entire medical research achievements of Binhai University's Medical School over the past two years don't surpass the medical achievements you've made, Expert Lin."
Pan Xinli spoke word by word, "These achievements didn't fall from the sky; you must have put in unimaginable effort and dedication, Expert Lin."
"Therefore, Expert Lin, if you feel capable of founding this Medical College and have the capacity to oversee it, then you might as well proceed."
"If you feel it's a bit forced, then there's no need to push yourself."
"Expert Lin, prioritize your health and wishes, without considering external factors."
Hearing this, Lin Jie felt touched, realizing Principal Pan truly cared for him, reminding him to prioritize his health.
He heard Pan Xinli emphasize again, "Expert Lin, you now have the privilege to follow your heart."
As he spoke, Vice Mayor Gu, Shao Liping, Xu Guanghui, and Yuan Guangxi's expressions slightly changed, but they quickly adopted sincere looks.
Vice Mayor Gu said solemnly, "Although Anlin Medical College is a significant matter beneficial to the nation, the decision still rests with you, Expert Lin."
Shao Liping added softly, "Before coming, Minister Xiao specifically instructed me that it's primarily up to your decision, Expert Lin, and we mustn't pressure you."
Bang!
A loud tea cup placement sound attracted everyone's attention, and they saw Cheng Xingguang slowly retracting his hand after placing the cup, saying, "Sorry, my hand was heavy for a moment."
He hinted, "Expert Lin, we absolutely won't exploit the situation…"
Suddenly, Cheng Xingguang paused, exhaled forcefully, and said, "I'll be frank!"
"All along, Expert Lin has been wholeheartedly treating patients, gaining inspiration from various cases, and conducting related research."
"Continuous innovative achievements prove this is the most conducive working method for you, Expert Lin."
"Founding a Medical College?"
Cheng Xingguang pointed at Lin Jie, "Perhaps you all witnessed Expert Lin transform the talents of those not-so-outstanding individuals into likely world-renowned doctors!"
"But you might not know how Expert Lin cultivated them?"
"I am quite clear."
Cheng Xingguang raised his voice slightly and said, "Expert Lin provided every one of them with a targeted reading list based on each individual's strengths and weaknesses, and then spoke with them one-on-one every week, solving their doubts and pointing out their shortcomings."
"Moreover, Lin Jie often had them act as his surgical assistants, teaching them almost hand-in-hand during operations."
"This continued for a year, and those hardworking young guys proved themselves, finally undergoing some transformations."
"However, Expert Lin's teaching method is a very taxing apprenticeship model, and mentoring over ten people is already the limit."
"Letting him mentor the entire Medical College's students and develop each of them into elites?"
Cheng Xingguang said somewhat indignantly, "With Expert Lin's responsible nature, you're trying to exhaust him to the point of sudden death? Are you pretending not to know Expert Lin's health condition?"
"Dean Cheng..."
Vice Mayor Gu straightened his expression and said seriously, "You have somewhat misunderstood our intentions."
"We are fully aware of Expert Lin's physical condition. The establishment of Anlin Medical College has absolutely no intent of imposing on him."
"If Expert Lin agrees, we just intend to borrow his reputation, at most ask him to draft the curriculum and content, definitely not burdening him too much."
Seeing Cheng Xingguang about to speak, Lin Jie spoke first, "Vice Mayor Gu, Director Shao, Director Xu, Principal Pan, Dean Cheng, and Dean Yuan, I understand each of your intentions, and I appreciate your concern for me."
"I indeed have thought about the establishment of Anlin Medical College quite a bit."
"Just as Dean Cheng said, if I take on the role at Anlin Medical College, I won't be content with just putting my name on it; since I'm doing it, I want to do it as well as possible."
Lin Jie smiled self-mockingly and said, "This pursuit of excellence is a compulsive nature of mine."
"I will build Anlin Medical College..."
Seeing Vice Mayor Gu, Shao Liping, Xu Guanghui, Pan Xinli, Cheng Xingguang and others showing expressions of either joy or worry, Lin Jie continued, "But not now, it will be in two years."
"In these two years, my main focus is on Anlin Hospital, plus I have a medical orientation class, and I really don't have the energy to be distracted by other things."
"Two years later, Anlin Hospital should be on a fairly stable development track, and then I can spare the energy to focus on other things."
Vice Mayor Gu chuckled softly, saying, "From Anlin Hospital's opening to becoming a world-renowned medical research center, it's not something achieved overnight."
"Two years is the least."
"We understand that Expert Lin cannot be distracted, and we strongly support that."
He continued, "Even if Binhai University Medical School relocates to Phoenix Mountain District, just building the new campus will require a year. Not to mention preparing a new Medical College from scratch!"
"Director Shao, Director Xu, we can start getting some preparations underway during these two years!"
"Yes, yes! Begin the preparations." Shao Liping and Xu Guanghui echoed…
After sending off Vice Mayor Gu, Pan Xinli and others, Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least using the delay strategy, he pushed this matter back by two years.
The reason Lin Jie used the delay strategy and didn't outright reject them was mainly because he really wasn't against founding Anlin Medical College in his heart and even had the intention.
Completing achievements with students everywhere was something Lin Jie still looked forward to, just right now he really couldn't divide his attention.
Hopefully, in two years, the development of Anlin Hospital will meet expectations…
"Lin Jie!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Jie turned his head and saw Fu Xiuyuan walking over, curiously asking, "Why are you here? Don't tell me you've also developed an interest in the medical salon?"
Fu Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Specifically came to find you."
He leaned closer and whispered, "Regarding the matter of the generic drug revenue sharing. Last quarter's sales figures are out, it was 2.6 billion, according to the agreement, you're entitled to 26 million."
"Even though most of the payment is still outstanding, we definitely won't default on your money, nor dare to. Should the sales revenue be directly deposited into your personal bank account?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Transfer it to my studio's account, they will handle the tax issues."
Fu Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It will be deposited into that account within these two days, so have your people keep an eye on it."
He said cheerfully, "With the boost from generic drug sales, the company's other drug sales have also seen a significant increase, more than doubled, at least making the company's financial statements not look so bad."
Lin Jie snorted lightly and said, "I am aware that your branded production of Jian'an Hall's two health oral liquids is selling very well."
"Hey, you haven't followed up on that ginseng buzz?"
Fu Xiuyuan said apprehensively, "Didn't follow up, listening to advice fills the belly."
"Moreover, the price of ginseng nowadays remains in a high position at ten to twenty times, no longer skyrocketing continuously."
"Only madmen dare to play with this peak..."
