"Only 30 million, the Ling family is being stingy."
Gu Qingran glanced at the number on the check and said with disdain, "Given the size of Changxu Group, the cooperation or project that Chairman Ling negotiated must be worth hundreds of millions."
"This 30 million was recovered in one business negotiation. 300 million is about right as a thank you."
Yu Zhiming glanced at Gu Qingran and said, "I come from a humble family, so my appetite isn't as big as yours. This number is shocking enough to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the check in his hand was snatched away by Gu Qingran.
"It just so happens that the self-help hospital project doesn't cost much. This 30 million will be your first actual investment."
Gu Qingran flicked the check with his finger and said, "I will discuss with the Ling family and ask them to re-write a check and convert it into an investment so that you can pay less personal tax."
"Thirty million in personal income tax is not a small amount."
Yu Zhiming did not object, nor did he worry that Gu Qingran would cheat him out of his money. Instead, he said, "It's time to eat. I'm starving..."
Seven or eight minutes later, Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingran sat together in the restaurant to have dinner.
Qing Ning, who had already eaten dinner, accompanied us and was responsible for serving rice and soup, and occasionally taking a bite of the food.
Yu Zhiming first ate a lot to satisfy his hunger, and then drank a bowl of sea cucumber soup.
Before he put down the bowl of soup in his hand, Gu Qingran's voice rang in his ears.
"Didn't the Ling family say that you are the most distinguished guest and that any request will be granted? Zhiming, you should ask them to cancel the engagement between Ling Yuchuan's sister and my cousin."
These words almost choked Yu Zhiming.
He paused before saying, "I'd rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage. This is a very unreasonable request."
"Brother, do you have a good reason?"
Gu Qingran said slowly: "My cousin is my biggest rival in the competition for the helm of the family business."
"Is this reason sufficient?"
this……
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Not enough, brother-in-law. I think it's better to rely on your own abilities to win, rather than relying on external forces to destroy."
Gu Qingran said seriously, "Zhiming, you are my biggest help in competing for the helm of the family business."
"I hope you can clearly support me and help me with all your heart."
Yu Zhiming said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely support you strongly."
"However, methods like this that destroy marriages are beyond my control and are definitely unacceptable."
Yu Zhiming thought of something else and said, "Besides, the Ling family promised to grant any request, so just listen to it."
"Brother, you don't really believe it, do you?"
"For trivial matters, they will definitely comply with any request. But for major matters, they have to weigh the pros and cons first."
At this moment, Qing Ning's little hand reached out to Gu Qingran and said with a smile: "Brother, you lose."
"Admit defeat and give me money! Give me money! Give me money!"
Gu Qingran glanced at Yu Zhiming with some depression, took out his wallet, counted out five hundred-dollar bills and slapped them into Qingning's little hand.
"Hehe, it's rare to beat Big Brother once."
Qing Ning proudly shook the banknotes in his hand and explained to Yu Zhiming, "While you were washing up, my eldest brother asked me if I could help break up the marriage of those two people. Would you help?"
"I didn't think you would help, so I took a gamble."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and looked at Gu Qingran and asked, "In the competition for the helm of the family business, can all kinds of means be used?"
Gu Qingran explained seriously, "Of course not. It mainly depends on the individual's past performance and ability, and the final decision will be made by the vote of the parents' committee members."
“That’s how Third Grandpa got elected.”
After a pause, Gu Qingran explained, "My grandfather is the head of the Gu family and is mainly responsible for the management of the family's internal affairs."
"This position of clan leader is inherited only by our eldest branch. It is appointed by the clan leader and does not require a vote."
Qing Ning interrupted and added, "Zhi Ming, if my brother doesn't have a son before my grandfather steps down, my grandfather might appoint my second or third uncle as the head of the Gu family."
Gu Qingran added: "Son, I will definitely have it."
"Also, if the clan leader is capable, he can also take on the role of helming the family business."
Yu Zhiming said, "Oh," and reiterated, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely support you."
Gu Qingran snorted and said, "I have a rough idea of the strength of your so-called strong support."
"That's good, so I don't have to misjudge the situation when making important decisions in the future."
Yu Zhiming smiled awkwardly.
Gu Qingran continued, "Actually, I didn't really want to disrupt their marriage. In my opinion, my cousin's marriage to the Ling family was a bad move."
"Brother, why do you think so?" Qing Ning asked curiously!
Gu Qingran analyzed, "Ning'an is clearly on the rise and developing rapidly. On the other hand, Changxu, perhaps because it's lonely at the top, has experienced a decline in development in recent years."
"In three to five years, Ning An and Chang Xu might engage in fierce competition."
"If it really gets to that point, that guy will probably be very upset, and those in the family who support him will also have doubts..."
After dinner, Gu Qingran showed Yu Zhiming an electrocardiogram via a mobile phone photo.
Yu Zhiming looked at it carefully for a while and said, "From this electrocardiogram, I don't see any problems."
He added, "If you want authoritative and definitive answers, you need to consult a cardiologist of Dr. Wang Chunyuan's caliber."
"When I look at this kind of paper electrocardiogram, I'm only moderately skilled. I can spot major problems, but I might not be able to identify minor, less obvious ones."
Gu Qingran uttered an "oh," put away his phone, and said casually, "It seems that your other abilities are quite different from auscultation and percussion."
Yu Zhiming didn't like what he heard.
"The instrument monitors heartbeats, and because of its inherent accuracy limitations, it has many omissions. When plotted on paper, there are some distortions and missing information."
"The heartbeat I detect through auscultation has no missing information in the middle link, so the judgment is naturally more accurate."
Yu Zhiming asked again, "Whose electrocardiogram is this? Can't you get a recording of this person's heartbeat?"
Gu Qingran said in a daze, "It's difficult to get a recording of this person's heartbeat. Someone noticed that he sometimes covered his heart with his hand, and he went to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, so they suspected that he had a heart problem."
Yu Zhiming asked cautiously, "You're not trying to cause trouble, are you?"
"How come?"
Gu Qingran said righteously: "I am a good young man who abides by the law and will not put myself in legal danger."
Yu Zhiming solemnly warned: "The law is strict and there is no loophole. Don't play with fire."
Gu Qingran stood up and said with a smile, "Zhiming, you're overly worried. I'm already married and have a child soon, so I won't take any risks. I'm just concerned about the health of an old rival."
"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back..."
After seeing Gu Qingran off, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning went back to the bedroom upstairs to wash up.
By the time they finished washing up, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and they all went to bed to rest.
Yu Zhiming lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. The electrocardiogram he saw in the photo on Gu Qingran's mobile phone appeared in his mind again.
Yu Zhiming looked at the electrocardiogram again, and soon a heart appeared next to it.
The left and right atria and ventricles of the heart contract and relax successively, allowing blood to flow in and out continuously.
At first, the heart beat intermittently, but soon it became full of power.
But in Yu Zhiming's perception, he still felt that the beating of this heart was a little stuck.
It's like missing frames in an animated image.
He turned his attention to the electrocardiogram again, but gave up after a minute or two.
"There's a lot of missing information, so it's hard to recover..."
Yu Zhiming cleared the images from his mind and began to concentrate on sleeping...
Qiu Yi came to the large office on the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building and found that Shen Qi was on night shift tonight.
"Is there something wrong with the patient?"
Qiu Yi met Shen Qi's gaze and shook his head, "Not yet. But even under the treatment of Doctor Yan and Doctor Ning, the latest liver and kidney tests have shown a significant decline in several indicators."
"Dr. Yan and Dr. Ning are convinced by Dr. Yu's judgment and are currently refining their treatment plan."
Shen Qi said "oh" and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with this girl? Why are you so concerned about her?"
Qiu Yi asked in return, "Are you asking this question for yourself or for Yiyi?"
Without waiting for Shen Qi's response, he continued, "I'm telling you, I have nothing to do with this girl. Do you believe it?"
Shen Qi was about to say "I don't believe it" when Qiu Yi said, "Whether you believe it or not, what does it matter?"
"I just don't care anymore."
"Shen Qi, tell Yiyi that she doesn't have to hide from me. If she doesn't like me, I won't force her to marry me."
"Really? False?" Shen Qi was a little surprised.
Qiu Yi let out a long breath and said, "I am now very different from who I was a few days ago."
"Whether it's true or not, time will tell you the answer."
Qiu Yi noticed a stack of printed A4 papers on Shen Qi's desk and glanced at it casually.
"A help post on a medical forum?"
Shen Qi hummed and introduced, "These are the twelve help requests I carefully selected."
"They all have one thing in common: they have been solved by the same expert, and have also been verified by the person seeking help."
"I haven't seen the expert's answer yet, so I thought I'd try it myself first to see how big the gap is between me and the expert."
Shen Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Yi. "The night is long. Let's solve it together?"
"Whoever loses buys me a midnight snack?"
Qiu Yi chuckled and said, "Since you're so interested, and I can't sleep, I'll play with you."
"I'll tell you again, I'm not the same person I was before."
"You've got to buy me supper tonight..."
