Chapter 1524 Miser
Yu Zhiming was also quite surprised to see Hua Siyuan, his niece and Ling Yuchuan come specially to congratulate him on his birthday.
However, since guests are welcome, Yu Zhiming asked Qingning to add more bowls and chopsticks and warmly invited the three of them to have dinner together.
After Hua Siyuan, Hua Zhiyu and Ling Yuchuan presented their birthday gifts, they sat down at the dining table without hesitation.
The gifts the three of them gave were also thoughtfully prepared.
Hua Siyuan gave a landscape painting by a famous contemporary Chinese painter, and Hua Zhiyu gave a birthday cake she made herself.
The gift Ling Yuchuan gave was a very valuable agarwood bracelet that helps with sleep and nourishes the mind.
After a brief greeting, Gu Qingran looked at Ling Yuchuan aggressively and asked, "When you came in, you said that besides coming to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday, you also wanted to discuss cooperation."
"I wonder what kind of collaboration this is?"
Ling Yuchuan smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Ning An is going to cooperate with Doctor Yu on a project that can be called a magic weapon for diagnosing diseases, a whole-body ultrasound diagnostic device?"
Gu Qingran's face darkened, and he said in a bad tone, "Young Master Ling is very well-informed."
Ling Yuchuan chuckled and said, "It's hard to keep a secret if more than three people know about it, not to mention that more than thirty people know about it, and some even posted it on WeChat Moments."
Circle of friends?
Gu Qingran's face turned dark.
This project involved Yu Zhiming's exclusive skills, and a cooperation agreement was signed with Yu Zhiming and others. In order to avoid leaks, Gu Qingran did not make any special requirements for confidentiality.
But posting it on your Moments and spreading the word is a bit too much.
Ling Yuchuan added, "Gudongzhu, please rest assured that Ning An is definitely not willing to share the profits of this project, and our Changxu will not shamelessly ask to join."
"However, I heard that Doctor Yu..."
Ling Yuchuan turned his gaze to Yu Zhiming again, "Are you interested in focusing some of your energy on folk remedies that can treat serious illnesses?"
Yu Zhiming said frankly, "It's just that the Beijing Poison King Liu Lao introduced two old Chinese medicine prescriptions, and I'm slightly interested in one of them."
"Whether or not to collaborate on the research has not yet been determined."
Gu Qingran said with an unhappy look on his face, "My people were also responsible for the preliminary investigation of this folk remedy. Are you planning to steal it?"
Ling Yuchuan waved his hand and said, "Gudianzhu, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of stealing your existing projects."
After a pause, he explained, "Well, over the past few decades, Changxu Pharmaceutical has invested a lot of money in the research and development of new drugs and traditional Chinese medicines, and has also collected a lot of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions."
"There are also some folk remedies that can cure serious illnesses."
Ling Yuchuan looked at Yu Zhiming with a smile and continued, "Doctor Yu, if you are interested in exploring this field, we at Changxu are willing to provide as much support as possible."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "That depends on my schedule. However, could you first give me a brief introduction to some of the recipes you have that are worth researching and developing?"
Ling Yuchuan said with a smile on his face: "I will have someone sort it out tonight and send the information over as soon as possible."
Gu Qingran snorted softly and said, "If it really has research and development value, why would you keep the recipe buried until now?"
Ling Yuchuan said softly, "A successful recipe has its own value. We just don't have the door to it."
"Doctor Yu has the ability to transform mundane things into something magical. Perhaps he can discover a wider range of uses for this prescription, or find a way to significantly enhance its therapeutic effects."
Gu Qingran snorted twice.
Yu Zhiming felt that his brother-in-law behaved a little less steadily and gracefully tonight.
He looked at the neglected uncle and nephew of the Hua family and asked, "Hua Zhiyu, are you used to being at Aunt Zhou's place?"
Hua Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's great. Aunt Zhou is very nice, and my colleagues are all very nice. I've also learned a lot about clothing design and production in the studio."
"Brother Zhiming, once I learn it, I will design and make a set of clothes for you myself."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said "Okay".
Qi Xin suddenly asked, "Hua Zhiyu, did you make that birthday cake yourself?"
Hua Zhiyu hummed, "When I was not feeling well at home, besides reading, writing and drawing, I would make and bake some cakes to pass the time."
"Of course, the cakes I make are definitely not as beautiful and delicious as those made by professional bakers, but they are just some of my thoughts."
Yu Zhiming suddenly noticed Qing Ning beside him and pursed his lips in frustration, but when he looked at her again, his expression had returned to normal...
Everyone enjoyed Yu Zhiming's birthday family dinner with casual chat, and the cake was brought up.
There were two cakes, a chocolate cake prepared by Qing Ning and a mousse cake made by Hua Zhiyu.
From the appearance, Hua Zhiyu's mousse cake has beautiful patterns and is decorated with flowers that look like real flowers at first glance.
I have to say that Hua Zhiyu's cake-making skills are not inferior to those of professional cake chefs.
The chocolate cake looked much more crudely made.
Yu Zhiming held Qing Ning's hand and asked, "Did you make this cake yourself?"
Qing Ning nodded and said, "I went to a big hotel that had custom pastries made for you. I made them under the guidance of the pastry chef."
"It's just that it's my first time doing it, so it looks a little ugly."
Yu Zhiming squeezed her hand a little harder and said, "I know you put your heart into it, and that's enough."
These simple words made Qingning very happy.
Candles were lit on both cakes. Yu Zhiming pretended to make a wish, listened to everyone singing the birthday song, and then blew out all the candles in one breath.
Next, Yu Zhiming gave everyone a piece of cake.
Qi Xin took a few bites of chocolate cake and remembered something. She hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhiming, what's my optimal weight? Should I be fatter or thinner?"
Yu Zhiming said: "You are still in the stage of physical development and have to deal with heavy study. There is no need to deliberately control your weight."
Hua Zhiyu asked curiously, "What is the optimal weight?"
Feng Sisi spoke first, "The optimal weight is the weight that gives a person the best body shape and appearance."
"This is not something that can be easily determined. It requires my cousin's husband to undergo a full-body examination before we can confirm it."
Seeing Hua Zhiyu looking at him with shining eyes, Yu Zhiming said, "You are still in the recovery period. First, improve your health and weight."
Hua Zhiyu said "oh".
Ling Yuchuan chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, can you deduce the formula for your optimal weight?"
"If it were possible, all beauties would have a definite weight control goal."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "My so-called optimal weight is determined based on factors such as frame size, body shape, facial features, and my own aesthetic taste. It's very subjective, and it's difficult to come up with a definitive formula."
Ling Yuchuan said, "With more sample data, perhaps we can find a pattern and derive a roughly accurate weight formula."
"Maybe." Yu Zhiming replied perfunctorily...
After eating the cake, the Hua family uncle and nephew, Ling Yuchuan, and Gu Qingran said goodbye and left together.
Gu Qingran told Yu Zhiming something before leaving.
The lawyer who went to Northeast China to assist Mr. Duan's son in his lawsuit received news today...
The parents of the deceased were still reluctant to send their son all the way to Binhai for an autopsy, mainly because they were worried that Yu Zhiming would show favoritism.
After all, the existing autopsy results are in favor of the deceased.
Gu Qingran sighed softly, "If we want Mr. Duan's son to escape punishment, we have to spend money to reconcile with the family of the deceased."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Why are the deceased's family asking for such exorbitant amounts?"
He knew that Mr. Duan had earned millions from Binhai, and compensation and settlement should be enough.
Gu Qingran said: "It was Duan's son who didn't want to spend money to settle the matter and insisted that there was nothing wrong with his treatment."
"It is said that this guy is a miser."
this……
Yu Zhiming was speechless. This was too stingy. He would rather go to jail than spend money to avoid disaster...
Wang Shuisu, Feng Sisi, Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan and Qi Xin all rested at Yu's house.
After Qing Ning settled these people one by one, she went upstairs to the master bedroom to make some preparations and then entered the soundproof bedroom.
"Honey, I also prepared a birthday present for you."
"What gift?"
Qing Ning twisted her body and gracefully took off her coat, winking and saying, "I learned a dance online. I'll show you..."
