It was already past seven in the evening when Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion. He washed up and had dinner with his family.
As Yu Zhaoxia served Yu Zhiming some food, she said, "Fifth Brother, your eldest brother-in-law and Xiao Bo will come over tomorrow morning to help Mom and Dad move their belongings. They'll also help your second and third sisters clean up the house over there."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "Are there many things?"
Yu's father replied, "Not much, mainly some clothes, and some things that were delivered from my hometown a while ago."
Yu Zhiming uttered another "oh" and began to persuade them, "Dad, Mom, some old, worn-out things should be thrown away. Buying new ones won't cost much, and we don't need that little money."
Yu's father said softly, "They are all usable and wearable, so nothing is broken. Even if you have money, you can't waste it casually."
Yu Ma also sighed: "In the past, we would just mend and patch up the clothes. When the eldest child's clothes were no longer suitable for him, we would give them to the second child."
"It's only been a few years. I bought such expensive new clothes and only wore them once or twice, and then I stopped wearing them."
After hearing this, Qing Ning lowered her head and looked obedient, eating quietly.
Yu Zhaoxia said, "Dad, Mom, don't you understand? This is called consumption driving domestic demand. If everyone saves their money and doesn't spend it, how can those businesses make money?"
"With Lao Wu's current income, we can't even spend all the money on buying new clothes for the whole family every day."
At this time, Feng Sisi changed the subject and said, "Brother-in-law, this video of your work is Friday tomorrow. I can't change it to your January work record, right?"
“What’s the next phase of video content?”
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "This is something you should consider yourself, right?"
"How about documenting your cousin's day?"
Feng Sisi said disdainfully, "What's there to record about my cousin's day? It's not very interesting."
After a pause, she chuckled and said, "Sister Momo said that her studio is negotiating with a model training organization to cooperate on a model show, just like the one for the charity gala."
"Sister Momo said that you saved the life of the person in charge of the model training institution?"
"Fan Zhen?" Yu Zhiming still had a very deep memory of this guy who set the record for cardiac electric shock pacing.
Feng Sisi nodded and said, "That's her."
"Modeling work is quite eye-catching, cousin-in-law, could you please contact her so I can photograph her work?"
Yu Zhiming said, "You have 200,000 followers now, so you're a decent internet celebrity. Filming her work is also a form of publicity for her."
"Why don't you contact them directly first and give it a try?"
Feng Sisi pondered and said, "Okay, I'll contact her myself first and find out her wishes."
Qing Ning waited for Feng Sisi to finish speaking before saying, "Zhi Ming, my dad said that we've officially signed a contract with Zhongshan Theater this morning and it won't change. You can notify the people you've already contacted."
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "After dinner, I'll call Rao Yi, Zhong Chunxiao and the others to let them know."
He then asked, "Regarding the big star, is there any progress on my father-in-law's side?"
Qing Ning shook her head and said, "No, the biggest names confirmed are Rao Yi and Zhong Chunxiao, whom you contacted."
After a pause, she chuckled and said, "Even bigger names don't have no chance."
"Who? What opportunity?" Yu Zhiming asked curiously.
Qing Ning first refilled Yu Zhiming's bowl of soup before introducing him, "Those once-popular action stars in Hong Kong are now getting older. Not only can they no longer fight, some are in wheelchairs, and some are even reportedly dying."
"The most famous one, Brother Long, worked the hardest during filming, and now there are rumors that he is injured."
"Zhiming, this kind of old injury is something you're good at."
Qing Ning continued, "And there's that former superstar, Andy Lau. He also filmed a lot of action films in his early years. A few years ago, he fell off a horse and fractured his pelvis in multiple places."
"Andy must have a lot of old injuries on his body."
"Whether it's Brother Long or Andy Lau, as long as one of them is brought to our charity event, the attention effect will be directly raised to the top level."
Qing Ning added, "These two people are extremely attractive to the wealthiest people in today's society."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "The problem is, this is just your wishful thinking. These two people are not that easy to contact."
“Even if we can get in touch, trust is still a problem.”
"If it's easy to get in touch with someone, the person I'd most like to invite is the God of Songs. I listened to many of his songs when I was a kid."
Qing Ning took it to heart and said with a smile, "Everything depends on one's own efforts. If you give it a try, maybe you will succeed."
"Most importantly, Zhiming, you're not just some unknown doctor. At their age, they also have to face the urgent threats of various serious illnesses like cancer."
"It's still unclear who needs who more."
Feng Sisi also agreed, "That's right, cousin-in-law, you are no longer an ordinary doctor. You have to act like a big shot."
"In Hong Kong Island, celebrities and entertainers have also passed away one after another due to various cancers."
"I just don't believe that Brother Long, Andy Lau, and that God of Songs, they aren't afraid of getting cancer..."
After dinner, Yu Zhiming called Rao Yi and Zhong Chunxiao respectively.
This time, it was their assistants who answered the phone, saying that they were on a show or filming and it was inconvenient for them to answer.
Yu Zhiming informed the time and place of the charity event and ended the call.
Afterwards, he returned to his bedroom and sat behind his desk to continue drawing the physiological structure of conjoined twins...
At this moment, in the capital, in a courtyard study, the Xia family, known as the number one tonic family, is holding a family meeting.
The current head of the Xia family, Xia Linge, who is known as the master of traditional Chinese medicine, sits in the main seat.
He waited until a document was circulated among the family members, then slowly said, "You've also read Wang Wu's lawyer's letter!"
The well-built Xia Linge frowned and said, "The other party stated in their lawyer's letter that the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills recipe they provided was only for reference in developing alternative medicines and contained fatal flaws. They warned us not to mix or borrow from it without authorization."
"If there are irreparable problems with the drug, not only will they be held responsible, but they will also hold us liable for infringement."
"Tell me what you think."
After a period of silence, Xia Linge's eldest son spoke first.
"Dad, I think this is a scare tactic they used out of helplessness after they learned about our cooperation with the Chu family."
He analyzed, "We've studied that prescription repeatedly and conducted numerous tests privately, but we haven't found any problems."
"Moreover, we have made appropriate changes to the prescription. Even if there were some problems, they should have been avoided."
At this time, a white-haired old man who looked even older than Xia Linge couldn't help but speak.
He criticized her bluntly, "How much do you really know? You know, the doctors of the older generation might not have great medical skills, but when it comes to being wary of others, they're basically extremely resourceful."
"Precious prescriptions like this that can be passed down from generation to generation are always passed down orally and never put down on paper."
"Not only that, they will also develop more than one fake prescription that is indistinguishable from the real thing to prevent any possible situation."
"This fake prescription is roughly as effective as the real thing, but it's very likely to interact with something in your diet, turning it from a good medicine into a poison."
Xia Linge's son said unconvincedly, "Just to prevent this kind of situation, we have conducted hundreds of experiments and even tested the drug on dozens of people with small doses, but there has not been a single adverse reaction."
The white-haired old man said coldly: "Another possibility is that they are conflicting objects, which is quite rare."
"Once we mass-produce and sell this pill, they can use it as a threat, or if they're ruthless, they can directly release something incompatible with it, causing casualties."
"Such tactics are not uncommon in history."
These words made Xia Linge's brows furrow even tighter, and then he heard a sarcastic voice.
"Speaking of which, our Xia family's tonic business is already doing well, and we make a lot of money every year. Why would we covet other people's prescriptions and make money in a dishonest way?"
Xia Linge looked over and saw that the person who spoke was one of his cousins, who also had made outstanding achievements in medicine.
He stood up and said slowly, "Even if the contents of this lawyer's letter are meant to scare us and there is nothing wrong with this prescription, have you considered that once we change our name and produce these pills ourselves, it means that we are completely standing in opposition to the Qin, Bai, and Liu families."
"Just shut up."
He scolded Xia Linge's eldest son who was about to speak, and continued, "Standing against the Qin, Bai, and Liu families is nothing. I think we should pay more attention to the rising medical genius Yu Zhiming."
"From what I know, Yu Zhiming is not only a guest of honor at the Health Bureau, but also has close cooperation with the military."
"Given Yu Zhiming's age, maintaining the pinnacle of medical skills for another forty to fifty years shouldn't be a problem."
"Being watched by someone like this, even if we find a way to avoid liability for the infringement of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills, can we guarantee that no one in the Xia family will make any mistakes in the next 40 to 50 years?"
He met Xia Linge's gaze and said slowly, "I've always believed that Big Brother was wrong. Even if he can't establish a friendly relationship with Yu Zhiming, he shouldn't be jealous of other people's prescriptions."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "If Big Brother is still determined to take the risk, I suggest that your family and the entire Xia family make a separation, so that if something goes wrong, it won't drag everyone down."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Linge's eldest son stood up and said angrily: "My family represents the entire Xia family. How can we cut it off?"
Xia Linge's cousin chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then my family and the Xia family should make a separation."
"When the Xia family's ship sinks, my little boat might be able to save one or two people..."
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming, who was still busy drawing a diagram of the physiological structure of conjoined twins, received a call from Teacher Qi Yue.
"To be clear, in the field of diagnosis and treatment of difficult and complicated diseases, there is a saying that there are Lin Wei in the north and Hai Dong in the south."
"Tomorrow, Dr. Yan Haidong, a renowned diagnostic expert from the Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, will visit our center."
"You must meet him."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and then asked curiously, "Teacher, do you have a nickname?"
The next moment, Qi Yue's voice rang out from the phone.
"Someone once said, 'Lin Wei in the north, Qi Yue in the middle, and Hai Dong in the south.' But that didn't spread."
"I must admit, compared to these two people's achievements, there is still a slight gap..."
