Late Monday afternoon around four o'clock, Lin Jie, appearing fatigued after completing the intubation drip inducer work for all the patients in the annex building, returned to the office in the main building with Zhou Hongzhi, where they found President Su Zhongqing waiting.
As soon as they met, Lin Jie apologized: "President Su, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"It's not a long wait, besides, Expert Lin, you're busy with surgeries saving lives, waiting is just par for the course."
President Su said politely, handing over a flat rectangular brocade box, "Expert Lin, this is the ginseng!"
Lin Jie took the brocade box, looked at it seriously for a few moments, then passed it to Zhou Hongzhi.
Zhou Hongzhi scrutinized it carefully for over a minute, then gently nodded towards Lin Jie.
