Chapter 1397: Disrespectful Interruption
In the presence of family and friends, and in the solemn atmosphere created by the military district's honor guard, a general from the capital read out the award for meritorious service to Yu Zhiming.
This award for meritorious service shows that Yu Zhiming's meritorious service is mainly due to his superb medical skills and his many contributions, including the effective treatment of military patients.
Immediately afterwards, with the live accompaniment of the military district band, Yu Zhiming received the award for meritorious service, the military medal, and put on the ribbon from the general.
After making a brief speech thanking the country and urging people to keep working hard, Yu Zhiming watched the honor guard's military parade performance with his family and friends.
This concludes the award ceremony for meritorious service.
After a group photo, Yu Zhiming handed the award order, medal, and ribbon to Qing Ning, and then he immediately returned to the operating room upstairs to begin the first operation of the day...
At this moment, it was just past 9:30 in the morning, past breakfast time but not yet lunch time.
However, Gu Changxuan and Gu Qingran were already prepared and took Yu Zhiming's family and friends who had gathered here to an authentic Cantonese restaurant for breakfast.
There were four tables in total.
The women and children sat at two tables.
Zeng Yan, who is from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, was drooling when she saw the breakfast dishes such as barbecued pork buns, black bean sauce spare ribs, crystal shrimps, glutinous rice chicken, custard buns, and water chestnut cakes being served in a stream.
"Oh my, I've been in Binhai for a year now, and I didn't know there were such authentic Cantonese-style snacks in Binhai."
Xiaoxue said with a giggle, "Now I know, I can come over and satisfy my craving when I have time."
Zeng Yan nodded hurriedly.
The table the two of them were sitting at was the children's table. In addition to them, there were two children each from the second and third sons of the Yu family, as well as Qi Xin and others.
Near the table, Lu Hong and her daughter Qing Ning were busy greeting Yu Ma, Yu's eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, Jiang Feng, Shui Su, Zhou Mo and others.
The main table had the fewest people, with Gu Changxuan and Yu's father entertaining Mr. Ye, Li Yao, Wang Wu, Qi Yue, and others...
Li Yao took a sip of tea, finished his food, and sighed, "Zhiming changes every day. In just over a year, it has grown into a towering tree, shading everyone."
Gu Changxuan said proudly, "Yes, yes, Zhiming's growth rate has far exceeded our expectations."
Elder Ye asked, "Starting a family and setting up a career, and Ming's wedding, there are still more than two months away, right? How are the preparations going?"
Gu Changxuan smiled and replied, "Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner. However, Zhiming doesn't like crowds, so we have to put more effort into the food and drinks."
Li Yao thought of something and asked, "This is a major event in Zhiming and Qingning's lives. You wouldn't refuse to accept the gift, right?"
Yu's father quickly explained, "Yes, Lao Wu said that he wanted to accept gifts this time, but he didn't want everyone to spend too much, so he set a limit of no more than two thousand yuan."
Li Yao nodded and said, "Zhiming has given everyone a chance to express their feelings this time, but I'm afraid these two thousand yuan won't even cover the cost of the banquet, right?"
Gu Changxuan laughed heartily and said, "I'm sure everyone understands Zhiming's character. He's willing to make more contributions for himself, but he won't take advantage of others."
Qi Yue sighed, "Zhiming is just too soft-hearted. He takes advantage of others even a little bit and always wants to give more back."
"It's also good to set a cap on the gift."
Elder Ye nodded gently and said slowly: "Have a grateful heart. Most importantly, wealth and honor cannot lead to debauchery. It can be seen that Zhiming has been educated very well."
Yu's father said modestly, "We're from a rural farming family, so we can't really say we've had much good upbringing. It's mainly because the fifth child is precocious and sensible since he was young, so he doesn't let us worry too much."
He added with regret, "To be honest, we delayed him. If our family conditions were better, Lao Wu wouldn't have suffered so much in his early years, and his health would have been better taken care of."
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Brother Yu, all those things that happened in the past have made Zhiming what he is today. If he had a different family, it's hard to say what Zhiming would have achieved."
Gu Changxuan said, "That's right. Zhiming is already excellent enough and has done well enough. We dare not be greedy and ask him to be even better..."
A group of people were eating and chatting, and the topic soon turned to the Huashan Second Hospital which was under construction.
Li Yao said with a smile, "Recruitment is progressing very smoothly. After the job posting was released, we received a lot of resumes, and the quality is very good."
"Of course, some departments still lack expert backbones who can take charge of the situation, so we need to poach them."
"Compared to before, the workload is much less. There's still nearly a year left, which is plenty of time."
Elder Ye asked, "Is there anyone from Jingcheng Hospital? I heard that things have been a bit chaotic there lately."
Li Yao chuckled and said, "We have received their resumes, but we will not accept anyone from Jingcheng Hospital. Their work attitude does not meet our requirements."
Gu Changxuan continued, "From what I understand, Jingcheng Hospital in Beijing has significantly reduced the terms of their new contracts. This is to force them to resign."
"They were practically raised like masters in Jingcheng Hospital, but now they're being kicked out. Sigh..."
Li Yao smiled and said, "They're not short of money. They left Jingcheng Hospital and started living a retired life. Or they might open their own specialist clinic under a new hospital, only seeing a few patients a day. But their lives are much more leisurely and comfortable than ours."
At this moment, Gu Qingran, who was sitting at another table, came up to Gu Changxuan and whispered a few words in his ear.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Changxuan smiled and said, "What just happened is that Boss Ma, the richest man in Zhejiang Province, announced that he would invest 10 billion in Hangzhou to build the best private hospital in Asia."
"It seems that those famous doctors who were kicked out of Jingcheng Hospital have a place to retire again."
Li Yao already knew that Yu Zhiming had rejected Boss Ma's conditions, so the 1 billion donation was naturally gone.
He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is the true meaning of being rich and willful. Hundreds of billions of funds, a figure that we can't even imagine, are invested just like that."
Gu Changxuan smiled faintly and said, "I guess they have a huge amount of funds and no better investment channels. They are afraid of wasting their money when investing in cutting-edge technology."
"If you invest a huge amount of money in a hospital and it becomes famous, even if it's not well managed, the losses won't be too great..."
This morning tea lasted intermittently until half past twelve, and lunch was also taken at the same time.
When Zhou Mo was driving Qi Xin back to Junshan Mansion, he suddenly received a call from the United States.
Zhou Mo frowned when he saw the caller ID was Daniel Lin.
She remembered this guy.
A few months ago, this man wanted to invite Yu Zhiming to the United States to treat his seriously ill son.
Yu Zhiming refused the man's repeated invitations on the grounds that he could not take long-distance flights.
Later, we received news that this man's son took his own life because he could not bear the pain of illness.
Zhou Mo answered the call while wondering why this person called again.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
The next moment, a slightly nervous male voice came from the phone, "Hello, Miss Zhou Mo, sorry to bother you. I accidentally saw your performance video online."
"It's like this. You look very similar to an old friend of mine. She was a good friend of mine before I went abroad, but I've lost all contact with her now."
"Excuse me, your mother is..."
