Lin Jie was somewhat puzzled by An Kexin's words.
At first, he felt that there was some truth to what she said, but then he thought about Tao Taqing and considered him to be a decent person, not the type who would scheme against him.
Lin Jie also knew he wasn't very experienced, but he had some confidence in his sixth sense when it came to judging people.
He softly said, "Kexin, Dean Tao isn't that kind of person, right? Professor Chen has known him for years; wouldn't he be aware of his character? This project seems more like a win-win situation to me!"
An Kexin looked at Lin Jie with some frustration, patiently advising, "The surgical plan for this project was proposed by you, right? And you were the one who performed the surgery, correct?"
"What contribution did Tao Taqing make?"
"To put it bluntly, if you were to remove him or replace him with someone else, would it affect you performing the surgery? I would say not in the slightest."
