Sunday is a rare time of rest for Yu Zhiming.
Yu Zhiming woke up early in the morning and went to the bathroom to free up some memory. When he passed by the big lemon bed, he raised his eyebrows at her.
Qing Ning, who was woken up, was still a little confused at first, but when she saw the look Yu Zhiming gave her, she instantly became alert.
She jumped up from the bed and pounced on Yu Zhiming, wrapping her arms and legs around him like an octopus...
More than an hour later, Yu Zhiming, who felt a little weak and dizzy, came downstairs to eat something to replenish his energy and unexpectedly saw Gu Qingran.
Zhou Mo was talking to this guy in the living room.
"Why are you here?"
"Where's the lime?"
After the two looked at each other, they asked almost at the same time. Yu Zhiming answered first: "Qing Ning is a little tired and fell asleep again."
Without waiting for Gu Qingran's response, he continued, "Brother, isn't there a reception for the first celebration of Ning'an's 40th anniversary today?"
"You should be very busy. What happened again?"
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "It's okay. All the preparations for the reception have been completed. I just need to show up on time."
"Just wanted to come over and see you and Qing Ning."
Yu Zhiming didn't detect any nervousness or guilt in the guy's voice. Knowing he wasn't lying, he invited him, "Haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's have breakfast together!"
Zhou Mo then said, "Dean Gu arrived before 6:30 this morning. He must not have had breakfast."
So early?
Yu Zhiming looked at Gu Qingran and found some bloodshot in his eyes. He asked speculatively, "Did you have a fight with your wife? That shouldn't be the case. Today is the day you finally got what you wanted!"
At the Ning'an 40th anniversary reception this afternoon, Gu Qingran will appear for the first time as Ning'an's successor.
Gu Qingran rolled his eyes, imitating Yu Zhiming's behavior, and said, "Don't guess. My wife and I have a good relationship. I was just a little excited and wanted to talk to someone, so I came to you without realizing it."
Yu Zhiming said happily, "You were so excited that you didn't sleep well all night? Tsk tsk, this is not like you at all."
As they were talking, they came to the restaurant and sat down.
Gu Qingran poured himself a glass of milk, took a big sip, and sighed, "I don't know why I'm so excited. I was a bit rebellious in my early years. I disdained the things and arrangements at home, thinking they were constraints. I believed I could make a name for myself by relying solely on myself."
"After going around in circles for a decade or two, I finally realized that success isn't easy. Home-cooked food is still the best."
Yu Zhiming took a sip of wonton soup, then swallowed the food and asked, "Wasn't your business in the US very successful? You even made tens of millions of dollars. Was it all fake?"
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "It's true, but it was just pure luck. A classmate came up with a great business idea, but he had no funds. So I applied for a family startup fund and started working on it with a few classmates."
“It was successful, but when we wanted to grow it further, the company caught the eye of a powerful figure in the United States.”
"We couldn't win, so we had no choice but to sell the company. Luckily, the guy wasn't too shady, so we all made a lot of money."
Hearing this, Zhou Mo couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the rule of law sound in the United States? Is there also forced buying and selling?"
Gu Qingran laughed and said, "Zhou Mo, don't have a filter for those Western countries. They are essentially robbers."
"The so-called sound rule of law means that they have the power to make rules and can make laws and regulations at any time to overturn existing laws and regulations that are unfavorable to them."
After a pause, he continued, "If we hadn't sold the company, we would have all gone to jail."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Did you really commit a crime?"
Gu Qingran said, "These are all nitpicking, but the United States has a jury system, and judges have a lot of discretion, which makes American law very much a rule of man."
"This is very disadvantageous to us who are discriminated against, and the opponents are very powerful, making it difficult to defend against frame-ups."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "oh".
Gu Qingran added, "I don't dare leave the country now. And Zhiming, you shouldn't leave the country easily either. They can find any excuse to arrest us and force us to confess."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry at all. Under normal circumstances, I won't go abroad..."
Gu Qingran looked at Yu Zhiming, who lowered his head and began to eat with big mouthfuls, and said slowly: "I didn't sleep much last night. Besides being excited, I was also a little nervous."
Yu Zhiming looked up at the guy and gestured for him to continue.
Gu Qingran sighed softly and said, "I'm worried about whether I have the ability to manage such a huge Ning'an Group!"
"Looking back on the past twenty years, the success I'm so proud of is all due to luck and knowing a few people, not my own ability."
Zhou Mo spoke again with considerable experience: "Luck is also a kind of ability, and it is very important."
"For example, if I hadn't met Dr. Yu, I would still be an ordinary hospital employee."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding fathers were from the same hometown. It's not possible that he was destined to succeed, that heaven placed the best talents around him?"
"It's because these people were fortunate enough to meet Zhu Yuanzhang and grew up through repeated struggles."
Yu Zhiming said smugly, "You two are lucky to have met me and to have seized this opportunity."
"As for you, big brother, today we're only announcing you as Ning'an's successor, not letting you take over immediately. Third Grandpa will definitely train you for three to five years, so there's no need to be nervous."
Gu Qingran couldn't help but laugh and said, "I never thought that I would have a day where you, Zhiming, would enlighten me. I really was enlightened."
He looked at Yu Zhiming again and said with deep affection, "Zhiming, as long as you continue to support me, my position will definitely be as solid as a rock."
Yu Zhiming said with disdain: "Don't look at me like that. I'm eating. It affects my appetite."
"As for support, that's for sure. We're family after all."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming said seriously, "But it's only about priority. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. If the conditions you offer are not suitable, we will still find others to cooperate with."
"I'm not alone anymore. Besides having a large family to support, more and more people will follow me in the future."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Of course. We Gu family never kill our acquaintances, and we never let our own people suffer."
He looked at Zhou Mo again and asked, "Are you going to the reception this afternoon with Zhiming and Qingning?"
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "Yes, Dr. Yu and Qing Ning will both wear Chinese-style dresses customized by our clothing company today."
"We are planning to develop two lines: one is mid-range fashion for the general public, and the other is high-end customization."
Gu Qingran asked with great interest, "Do you have any ready-made clothes that are suitable for my wife and me?"
"My wife and I will also be your models."
Zhou Mo quickly refused and said, "Although Dean Gu has a pretty standard figure, the dress will definitely need some modifications for the best effect."
"The time for the afternoon reception is still too short. It's probably too late."
Gu Qingran said, "Forget it then. I'll advertise your clothes next time I have the chance."
Yu Zhiming could hear Zhou Mo quietly sighing in relief, and smiled at Gu Qingran, "Brother, you should have some self-awareness. With your somewhat overweight figure, how can you still be a model?"
Gu Qingran was angry, then she touched her belly and let out a sigh of relief.
"I've been busy lately and haven't exercised much."
Gu Qingran then changed the subject and said, "Zhiming, today's reception will include not only many business partners but also several medical academicians. You should get to know them."
"Perhaps in a few years, you will be running for medical fellowship and will need their support and vote."
Yu Zhiming said casually, "I'm not even thirty yet, so it's still too early for me to be considered for the academician award."
At this moment, Zhou Mo, who was holding a mobile phone, suddenly said excitedly: "Doctor Yu, the hospital has released the professional title review announcement."
"You were promoted to chief physician by exception. There are more than a hundred people in the hospital who have been promoted to chief physicians and deputy chief physicians."
"This public announcement has broken the record..."
