Chapter 1385: Just a formality
Yu Zhiming didn't know how his father-in-law persuaded him, but when the reception started at 2 p.m., all the ambulances and patients blocking the hotel entrance disappeared.
Yu Zhiming, accompanied by a dazzling group of beauties including Qing Ning, Zhou Mo, Xiao Xue, Zeng Yan, and Qi Xin, walked into the cocktail reception hall on the third floor of the hotel, where soft music was playing. They found that the hall was very large and could easily accommodate seven or eight hundred people.
At a glance, Yu Zhiming could see that the entire hall was roughly divided into three parts.
The first is a buffet area, where guests who rush in without having lunch can comfort their stomachs.
The second is the rest area, where guests can sit down in groups of three or two to enjoy tea and wine and have friendly conversations.
The third, and largest, area is for guests to walk around with drinks and interact with each other.
The cocktail party had just officially begun, and there were not many people in the hall, only about sixty or seventy people.
Yu Zhiming saw many familiar faces, such as Teacher Qi Yue and Mrs. Shi, Dean Li Yao, Doctor Tang Jianxiong, Zhou Hao, Mr. Qin, Mr. Ye, Mr. Bai, Mr. Liu and others.
There are also several bosses I know.
As for the stars... Xiaoxue's surprised voice suddenly rang in Yu Zhiming's ears.
"Oh, I saw Han Hong."
Qi Xin was also startled and shouted: "Over there, over there, Huang Xiaoming, and Hu Ge, my eyes are going to go blind."
Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan, and Qi Xin pulled each other, no longer following Yu Zhiming, and ran towards the star...
Yu Zhiming had no time to care about the three excited little guys because many people had already surrounded him.
It took him a full 10 to 20 minutes to exchange simple greetings with friends and acquaintances at the party, as well as guests and celebrities who came over to make their acquaintances.
Yu Zhiming, who finally had some free time, took the juice handed to him by Qing Ning, took a sip and moistened his throat.
"Lime, when will the British Crown Prince and the Saudi Prince arrive?"
Yu Zhiming originally planned to show up at the cocktail party, but he returned to the executive suite on the second top floor to give physical examinations to some people he had greeted.
However, the British Crown Prince and the Saudi Prince were also going to attend the reception, so Yu Zhiming had to greet them out of courtesy.
Qing Ning replied softly, "The information I got is that he'll arrive around three o'clock."
Yu Zhiming let out a light "oh" and saw Dean Li Yao coming over with a glass of red wine.
"Zhiming, I forgot to tell you something..."
Li Yao smiled and said, "Your application for promotion to chief physician has been approved. However, before it is officially approved, you still need to go through a defense process."
"reply?"
Yu Zhiming felt a little intimidated and said, "Dean, you know, I only have a bachelor's degree. I have a weak theoretical foundation, relatively little clinical experience, and lack scientific research capabilities."
"Well, I'm probably not going to pass this chief physician review defense."
Li Yao laughed and said, "Everyone knows what you said, otherwise they wouldn't apply for an exception for you."
"The reason why those guys above deliberately blocked this on-site defense session..."
Li Yao paused deliberately and said meaningfully, "Their purpose isn't hard to guess. They want to take this opportunity to meet you and get to know you."
"Otherwise, they'll just approve everything without leaving any impression on you. They'll feel like they've been cheated out of it, and they'll have to leave their name behind after doing something."
"Is it really just for this?" Yu Zhiming was a little unconvinced.
Li Yao nodded and said, "I can guarantee that I'm definitely not trying to show off my authority or deliberately embarrass you."
"We are very familiar with the officialdom and workplace ecology."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "If this is really just a formality, then I'll be relieved."
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Zhiming, you are more precious than the national treasure giant panda. No one in the system will offend you."
After a pause, he turned and asked, "Hey, Zhiming, is there an application for the director position at the teaching hospital in your hometown?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "It will officially begin after the charity gala. We've already asked the applicants to write hospital management plans."
"Based on the proposal they write, after another interview and defense, it will be confirmed."
Li Yao nodded gently and said, "Vice President Tan is quite capable. If he is chosen, to be honest, I would be reluctant to let him go."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise.
Yu Zhiming looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kung Fu superstar Chen Long, as well as King Liu, King Zhang, and King Li walking in together from the door.
Seeing that it was them, Li Yao could no longer stay. He left Yu Zhiming behind and walked towards them quickly with shining eyes.
Qing Ning noticed that the business owners who had been chatting in groups of three or four in the hall were now gathering towards Chen Long, King Liu, and the others. She couldn't help but sigh, "Their appeal to the middle-aged and elderly crowd is truly extraordinary."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "As for the sentiment, they are all from the same generation. You can say that I grew up listening to their songs and watching their movies and TV series."
At this moment, a pleasant sound rang in Yu Zhiming's ears.
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming turned around and saw film and television star Zhong Chunxiao standing in front of him with a glass of red wine.
"Hello, Miss Zhong! How are you feeling lately?"
Zhong Chunxiao took another half step closer to Yu Zhiming and chuckled, "Very good, I've fully recovered. I'm currently filming a costume movie. I took a special leave to come here."
“Thank you for your strong support for the charity gala!”
Yu Zhiming said politely, "Wait, come with me to the room upstairs for a physical examination."
Zhong Chunxiao nodded in response and said softly, "Doctor Yu, there is something I want to ask you for help."
"Oh, what's the matter first?" Yu Zhiming said.
Zhong Chunxiao slowly introduced, "Doctor Yu, I have a friend who is also a film and television actress. She has played the leading role in many popular film and television works."
"She's had plastic surgery on her face, more than once."
"But as she gets older, the side effects of her facial plastic surgery are becoming more serious. Not only is her expression stiff, but her appearance is also somewhat distorted."
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "Ms. Zhong, plastic surgery is not my field of medicine."
Zhong Chunxiao chuckled and said, "As far as I know, with your help, Dr. Tong Yu from Binhai Oriental Hospital once perfectly repaired a little girl's severe facial bite."
"The plastic surgeon who examined my friend said that if he could get your help, Dr. Yu, he would have a good chance of restoring his appearance."
Zhong Chunxiao pleaded again, "Doctor Yu, for us film and television actors, a face with vivid and beautiful expressions is the foundation of our survival in this industry."
After a pause, she continued, "My friend also expressed his willingness to donate six million to cancer patients."
Yu Zhiming suddenly heard someone striding towards him. He looked up and saw it was Chen Long.
"Doctor Yu..."
Chen Long said with a smile: "I told Ah Hua, Jacky Cheung and Ah Ming about my new police story and invited them to perform."
"They all agreed verbally."
Chen Long sighed again and said with some sadness: "Time is merciless. Back then, we were all powerful figures in the film and music worlds, making a name for ourselves."
"Now, we are all old, and one by one we will have to say goodbye to the film and music industry, and even to this world."
Yu Zhiming was thinking about how to comfort her when he saw the sadness on Chen Long's face disappear and he looked at Zhong Chunxiao with a smile.
"Chunxiao, you've become more beautiful again..."
