Chapter 1150 - 1109: The Chieftain Who Came Calling
The next morning, An Kexin came to the dining room yawning, gave Lin Jie a fierce glare first, and then sat down to eat."Yuanyuan isn't here? She stayed at Sister Hui's house again last night."
Lin Miao softly responded, "She stayed at Sister Hui's house."
She complained helplessly, "That kindergarten Yuanyuan attends is simply impossible to describe. They often assign those parent-child projects to do at home together."
"Only Sister Hui has the patience to work on those with Yuanyuan."
An Kexin looked at Lin Jie and asked, "A-Jie, have you made a decision about Yuanyuan's situation?"
Lin Jie let out a sigh, saying, "After Anlin Hospital opens, we'll have even less time to spend with Yuanyuan."
"I can tell that Brother Ye, Sister Hui, and Ye Chen genuinely care about Yuanyuan. In the next couple of days, I'll have Brother Ye handle Yuanyuan's adoption paperwork."
An Kexin smiled and said, "She will always have a home here with us. When the little one misses us, she can come back anytime."
At this point, Lin Miao asked, "Kexin, when is the charity foundation moving to Anlin Hospital to work?"
"The charity foundation won't move for now!"
An Kexin explained, "To accommodate the potential influx of patients after opening, Anlin Hospital temporarily added quite a few hospital beds, occupying all the office space originally planned for the charity foundation."
"Additionally, the foundation's workload will increase significantly, requiring a lot of new staff. So, the foundation won't move until the new inpatient building is in use next year."
"Does that mean we'll have to wait nearly another year?" Lin Miao pouted in discontent.
Lin Jie peeled a boiled egg and handed it to Lin Miao, smiling, "Although we work at Anlin Hospital, we'll come back from time to time. We can't just give up everything at the Medical College and the Affiliated Hospital."
"Moreover, on weekends, you can visit Anlin Hospital."
"It's only about a two-hour drive, not too far."
Lin Miao ate the egg quickly and said gloomily, "It feels like we're much farther apart."
She then asked, "Brother, when is your Major General ceremony going to happen?"
Lin Jie casually replied, "They said it'll be next month, held in Capital City alongside others for the military rank promotion ceremony. They mentioned family can attend, so you all can come."
"I'm definitely going."
With interest, Lin Miao asked, "Brother, are you the youngest general in the country?"
Lin Jie laughed and said, "My general rank is a professional technical rank, very different from the military ranks in the army."
"However, if we're talking purely about rank..."
He said with a touch of pride, "Though it's not confirmed, excluding past war times and such special eras, I should be the youngest Major General promoted in the last twenty years."
Lin Miao giggled and said, "Brother is definitely the youngest, who can be as amazing as you?"
An Kexin glanced at the two smiling cheekily and snorted, "You two, stop highlighting your age, as if you're worried people won't know you became famous when young."
"Hurry up and eat, there's a heap of things waiting to be done today..."
Just before nine in the morning, at the second floor cafeteria of the Affiliated Hospital.
Fang Huanru strode over to the table where Tian Xiangyu, Guo Peng, He Yimin, and Yan Beichen were sitting, and angrily said, "Damn it, Qushui Garden is ridiculously popular. Not only is it fully booked during the National Day seven-day holiday, but also for every holiday and weekend until this year's Spring Festival."
"I'm so annoyed."
"Senior Sister Fang, you're reserving Qushui Garden, are you getting married?" He Yimin asked softly.
Fang Huanru softly responded, "My family is pressing hard, and Hongbo's parents hope we can marry soon. I just didn't expect Qushui Garden to be so in demand."
Yan Beichen cheerfully commented, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Fang!"
"A lovely place like Qushui Garden is certainly the top choice for many weddings. Senior Sister Fang, I suggest you talk to our teacher."
"With the teacher's influence, surely Qushui Garden can make room for you at an appropriate time."
Fang Huanru sighed softly, "To get married before thirty, I'll have to trouble the teacher."
"Thirty years old?"
Guo Peng looked at Fang Huanru, saying suspiciously, "Senior Sister Fang, show me your ID card, let me see which year you were born."
Fang Huanru glared at him with narrow eyes and sinisterly said, "Guo Peng, well, speak up, how do you want to die?"
Guo Peng hunched his shoulders, looked towards Tian Xiangyu, and quickly changed the topic, asking, "Senior Brother Tian, you're our eldest senior brother, your Junior Brother Xiao is already married, and your Junior Sister Fang is about to marry, aren't you anxious?"
Tian Xiangyu gave him a glance and smiled, "Our teacher isn't married yet; why should I rush?"
"But..."
He glanced at Fang Huanru who was still fuming beside him and said smugly, "My wedding date has been set. It's on the second of October, during the National Day holiday, and will be held at Qushui Garden!"
Fang Huanru immediately asked in surprise, "Tian Xiangyu, how did you book this date? Did you plead with the teacher?"
Tian Xiangyu replied proudly, "I didn't ask the teacher."
"On the day of Xiao Ganghao's wedding, I saw that Qushui Garden was indeed a great place to hold a wedding, so I immediately made a reservation with the management."
"Looking back now, my decision at that time was indeed a wise choice."
Fang Huanru glanced around and said smoothly, "Senior Brother Tian, your family is in Capital City, and most of your relatives and friends are there too, right? Your girlfriend is also a Capital City native!"
"Under these circumstances, wouldn't it be more reasonable to have your wedding in Capital City?"
"Don't you think so?"
Tian Xiangyu shook his head and said firmly, "My girlfriend has already come to develop herself in Binhai, and she is also very satisfied with Qushui Garden. Besides, the teacher is in Binhai, so we'll hold the wedding in Binhai!"
"Senior Brother Tian, a wedding isn't just a matter between you and your girlfriend; it's about two families and the relations between them."
"Having the wedding in Binhai would be very inconvenient for them, wouldn't it?"
"Did you get the approval of both families and parents to have the wedding in Binhai?"
Seeing Tian Xiangyu showing signs of hesitation, Fang Huanru continued to persuade, "Senior Brother Tian, you could have the wedding in Capital City, and then host a few tables in Qushui Garden!"
Tian Xiangyu pondered for a moment and said, "I understand your little plan. Let me discuss with the families first."
He then looked at He Yimin and Yan Beichen and asked, "After this night shift ends, you'll be heading to Anlin Hospital. When will you move your stuff? If I'm busy at that time, I can lend you my car."
He Yimin chuckled and said, "Just lending us the car won't do; you'll have to provide a driver too. We don't have much stuff, so a Didi cab will suffice."
"Neither of you knows how to drive?" Fang Huanru asked, somewhat surprised.
Yan Beichen said with a gloomy face, "I learned to drive during the summer after my college entrance exam, but after getting my license, I never touched a car again, and recently I even forgot to renew my license."
"Even if I had renewed it, in my current situation, I wouldn't dare drive anyway."
Tian Xiangyu laughed and said, "Yan Beichen, when you get to Anlin Hospital, find some time to practice. There's plenty of open space around Anlin Hospital where you can drive freely."
"He Yimin, you should also find time to get a driver's license; working at Anlin Hospital without knowing how to drive will be quite inconvenient."
He Yimin softly replied, "Once we've settled into the routine at Anlin Hospital, I'll go for the test."
Yan Beichen gestured enthusiastically, "This time, once I master my driving skills, I'll buy a nice car—a sports car."
"I used to think I'd spend a lifetime working for a house, but now, before graduation, I've been allocated a two-bedroom apartment in Binhai, woo-hoo."
"Without worries about housing, naturally, I want to buy a nice car for enjoyment, woo-hoo..."
Watching Yan Beichen babbling somewhat manically, Tian Xiangyu warned, "This time, Anlin Hospital has offered you the position of deputy chief doctor, certainly because of the teacher's influence."
"At Anlin Hospital, due to our status, other doctors will inevitably view us differently. If we don't perform well, this special treatment will take on a different meaning."
"Although we enjoy the halo and honor of being directly taught by the teacher, we also need to bear the pressure and the high expectations from others."
"We must add pressure on ourselves, work harder, and avoid losing face for the teacher."
Both He Yimin and Yan Beichen replied solemnly, "Senior Brother, at Anlin Hospital, we will not slack off."
At this moment, Gao Yanhong, Huo Guangheng, Song Licheng, Ma Hongmin and others joined them in the cafeteria.
Ma Hongmin called out, "Senior Brother Tian, Yimin, Beichen, before you leave, you might still get a chance to see those luxury cars parked at the hospital—a whole fleet of Maybach 62S, wow, they're really impressive."
"I heard each one is worth tens of millions."
Tian Xiangyu curiously asked, "Using such a luxurious car fleet, they must not be ordinary people, any idea which tycoon from the Forbes list is here?"
Huo Guangheng shook his head and said, "They're not Chinese; they're Arabs wearing robes and turbans."
"Arabs?"
Tian Xiangyu said doubtfully, "They wouldn't be here to see our teacher, would they?"
His guess was indeed correct.
Lin Jie was bewildered by the Arabs who had unexpectedly appeared in his office, and upon learning their identity, his expression became severe.
He directly dialed Nie Yuming's phone and demanded, "Nie Yuming, I only agreed to first look at the sheikh's tumor images, but I haven't agreed to take on this case yet!"
"Now the patient has appeared at the hospital without my consent; you'd better give me an explanation!"
