Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1206 - 1164: Arrangements

The next day, just after breakfast time, the people helping to prepare for the wedding gathered at Lin Jie's home in Xiangtai Apartment.The six groomsmen, Chen Qiuhua, Fu Xiuyuan, Lu Kaicheng, Yao Siyuan, Zhou Ziyan, and Zeng Yang, all arrived on time.

Additionally, Kong Mingqing, Chen Lili, Monkey Zhu Peng, Su Xiaohui, Jian Jia, Ma Hongmin, Gao Yanhong, Guo Peng, Zhao Fang, Zhang Daya, Xue Linlin, Ye Chen, and others arrived one after another.

Seeing the dozen or so people gathered in the hall, Lin Miao put down the box she was holding, cleared her throat, and shouted, "Groomsmen, come with me to the room to try on the groomsmen suits."

"Everyone else..."

She pointed to the box at her feet and said, "Inside are festive decorations like the 'double happiness' symbol. Decorate the rooms. When the cigarettes and candies arrive, we'll pack the gift bags together."

"Groomsmen, follow me!"

Following her words, Chen Qiuhua, Fu Xiuyuan, and the others went to the master bedroom and saw over a dozen suits, white shirts, bow ties, and other clothing laid out on the bed.

Fu Xiuyuan immediately recognized the clothing brand and exclaimed, "Wow, these are Gucci suits, a world luxury brand. Lin Jie really went all out."

Lin Miao chuckled and said, "Originally, we thought about custom-making a few sets of groomsmen outfits to match the traditional attire my brother is wearing."

"But my brother said such groomsmen outfits would only be worn once and would be a waste; suits would be better as they can be worn again."

Lu Kaicheng picked up a suit from the bed, examined it, and said happily, "Lin Jie really thought this through!"

"This suit must be at least fifty or sixty thousand, and wearing it for a wedding or even high-end cocktail parties is more than appropriate."

Lin Miao clapped her hands and said, "These were sent from the boutique based on the sizes you reported, and I specifically asked them to send extra larger and smaller sizes."

"Try them on, and if they don't fit, we can have the boutique send over more."

Lin Miao left the room to them and went back to the living room, finding that Qin Gang, Guan Muhua, and other people had returned, carrying large boxes filled with cigarettes, candies, and other items into the living room.

The wedding guest gift packs require one box of cigarettes and ten pieces of candy each.

If you multiply this number by one thousand five hundred, it becomes quite a large amount.

Most of the time for those who came today will be spent packing these gift bags.

As for the few hundred red envelopes with money, Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and Yao Henan had already packed them yesterday.

Everyone was busily working, except for the groom-to-be, Lin Jie, who was leisurely drinking tea in the study, or more precisely, accompanying Binhai University's Principal Pan Xinli for tea.

Pan Xinli handed Lin Jie a palm-sized brocade box with a smile and said, "I'm leaving this afternoon to go abroad to attend an education forum hosted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, so I can't attend your wedding tomorrow."

"This is my wedding gift to you."

"Thank you!"

Lin Jie politely accepted it and casually opened the box, discovering inside a pendant made of mutton fat jade carved into the shape of a pebble, with a cloud pattern and threaded with a red string.

"This is a piece of warm jade!"

Pan Xinli explained, "Of course, its effects aren't as magical as they are in novels, where wearing it makes you feel warm as spring, but in winter, it doesn't feel too cold."

"There's an old Chinese saying that people nurture jade, and jade nurtures people. Though there's no scientific basis, think of it as psychological comfort."

From his explanation, Lin Jie realized the thoughtfulness behind the gift and happily said, "Thank you, Principal Pan."

"The winter in Binhai can be harsh; I always have to bundle up like a ball under Miaomiao's watchful eye. With this warm jade, I might not fear catching a cold as much."

Pan Xinli laughed heartily and said, "You should still wear warm clothes along with the warm jade."

"Otherwise, if you really catch a cold, I fear your wife and sister might come to my house to hold me accountable."

Then, he turned serious and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Expert Lin, you know the Medical College is changing deans, right?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "I know, Dean Cheng informed me. He went to the Health and Wellness Committee yesterday for an interview with Minister Xiao, but it didn't seem to go well."

Pan Xinli sighed lightly and said, "The other three candidates have also come to talk to me."

"In my discussions with them, I noticed a problem."

He said in a low voice, "Apart from Dean Cheng, the other three, in their visions for the future development of the Medical College, though they seem to hold you in high regard, are all planning to leverage you as much as possible."

"I've submitted my opinion to Minister Xiao, stating that pinning the rise of a Medical College on a single person is an irresponsible approach."

"More importantly, given your particular situation, what we should do more is care and support rather than use various tangible or intangible means to push you to progress."

Pan Xinli took a sip of tea to calm his slightly excited mood and continued, "As I said before, no matter who eventually becomes the dean of the Medical College, you can disregard it."

"You now truly have the freedom to do as you please. When you find it unbearable, you have the right to say no at any time."

Lin Jie said seriously, "Thank you for the advice, Principal Pan."

"I won't joke with my life; I won't do things beyond my abilities..."

When sending Pan Xinli off, Lin Jie noticed the living room was full of laughter. Chen Qiuhua, Fu Xiuyuan, and several others were wearing identical dark suits, showing off like models.

It must be said, these six guys were all tall, with the shortest being at least 1.75 meters.

As for their looks, even the least attractive, Yao Siyuan, looked somewhat handsome after getting surgery for his facial scar.

As for Zhou Ziyan, Zeng Yang, and Chen Qiuhua, after dressing up, they could definitely be called male gods.

The six of them surrounded Lin Jie in a flash, all tilting their heads at a 45-degree angle toward the ceiling, provocatively saying, "Lin Jie, being with us, do you feel overshadowed?"

Lin Jie snorted disdainfully, then casually tapped the back of Chen Qiuhua's knee, commonly known as the popliteal fossa.

Caught off guard, Chen Qiuhua's leg buckled, almost kneeling down, and he hurriedly grabbed the nearby Zhou Ziyan.

Zhou Ziyan, who got caught in the commotion, couldn't react in time, stumbled forward, and ended up kneeling on one knee on the floor.

With a dull thud, even Lin Jie felt a twinge of pain in his own knee.

Zhou Ziyan, grimacing, held back his voice, and as he was about to get up, a pale, delicate hand appeared before him.

Just as he was about to take the hand and rise, Zhou Ziyan heard a familiar voice say, "Since you're so sincere, even kneeling to plead with me, I'll reluctantly agree to your request."

When he looked up, he saw Xue Linlin covering her face with her other hand, putting on a shy and embarrassed expression.

Hearing the laughter from everyone, Zhou Ziyan felt utterly annoyed.

Seized by a sudden impulse, Zhou Ziyan bent down as he got up and scooped Xue Linlin up like a princess.

Amidst Xue Linlin's flailing and shouting, Zhou Ziyan spun her around several times before setting her down again.

Seeing Xue Linlin's face turn red as blood, filled with anger, Zhou Ziyan tapped her forehead and said domineeringly, "Little girl, since you agreed, behave and be my girlfriend from now on!"

"Rogue, dream on!"

Infuriated, Xue Linlin suddenly kicked Zhou Ziyan in the shin.

This spot, being just skin over bone, felt incredibly painful when kicked, especially since Xue Linlin was wearing pointed crystal sandals that enclosed her toes today.

Zhou Ziyan's face immediately turned pale, gasped in pain, yet couldn't manage to cry out...

At this moment, the An Family in the Golden Tripod Building was also gathering with many relatives and friends, preparing for tomorrow's wedding.

With a face full of joy, An Kexin walked into the study and saw An Weize sitting behind the desk, gazing at a photo frame on the desk.

An Kexin gently walked up to An Weize, placed her hand on his shoulder, and looked at the familiar image in the frame together with him.

An Weize reminisced, "If your mom were still here, seeing how happy you are, she'd surely laugh out loud."

An Kexin picked up the photo frame, caressed the glass, and said, "Mom wouldn't laugh out loud. She was a true lady, always teaching me to smile without showing my teeth."

"Your mom, when she was young, was very lively!"

Saying this, An Weize took a document out of the desk drawer, turned to An Kexin and said, "This is a share transfer agreement. I'm transferring our An Family's shares in Anlin Hospital, Anlin Garden, and the associated derivative rights and shares to you."

"You just need to sign it for it to take effect. This is my wedding gift to you."

An Kexin, a bit surprised, worriedly asked, "Dad, you didn't secretly go for a health checkup again, did you?"

An Weize just laughed and said, "What are you thinking? My brain tumor hasn't recurred. I'm just taking advantage of your wedding to make some early arrangements."

Saying this, he took out another document from the drawer, "This document is for Kemeng. I'm transferring the shares of Anlin Medical Equipment to her."

"As for the rest of the family's properties, investment shares, financial deposits, etc., I won't distribute them now. When the day comes that I'm truly gone, you, Kemeng, Siying, and my son with Siying can divide them equally."

An Kexin's face turned serious, "Dad, on the day of my great happiness, don't say things like that. You'll live to a ripe old age."

An Weize chuckled and said, "With Ajie as my precious son-in-law, I'm confident I can live another twenty or thirty years, watching you and Ajie's children grow up, and even see them get married and have children."

"However, it's always good to make some arrangements early."

Saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "Siying is now pregnant with my child, and in two months, she'll give birth."

"Kexin, I want to register for marriage with her, so she won't have to follow me without a title any longer..."
