Chapter 1556: Rushing is not a good deal
A little after 9:30 am on Sunday, Yu Zhiming brought Qing Ning to the Municipal Museum on the north bank of the Pujiang River to attend the opening ceremony of the Returned Cultural Relics Exhibition.
As soon as Yu Zhiming got out of the car, a little girl with a ponytail ran over and hugged his thighs.
"Uncle, uncle, did you miss me?"
“I thought about it!”
Yu Zhiming touched Xiaoqiao's head and said something perfunctorily, then saw Yu's father and mother, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, two pregnant women, and three little ones, walking over under the protection of four security personnel.
"Dad, Mom, Big Sister..."
Yu Zhiming went to greet them, and just after saying hello to his family, he saw several museum staff members hurried out to greet him...
This exhibition of returned cultural relics is set up in an exhibition hall on the left side of the museum, with banners and huge explanations in front of the hall.
The exhibition will be held for half a month, after which the returned cultural relics will be divided into various professional exhibition halls according to their dynasties, categories, etc.
There are quite a lot of people attending the opening ceremony of the exhibition today, including Yu Zhiming’s family and friends, as well as the family and friends of the other five donors, leaders of the museum’s department, and some media reporters.
There looked to be about a hundred or two hundred people, and it was quite lively.
The opening ceremony didn't have much novelty. It started with speeches by the director and the responsible leader.
They had previously wanted Yu Zhiming to give a speech, but he declined. Another respected donor spoke on their behalf.
Afterwards, Yu Zhiming, several donors, the curator, and responsible leaders pulled down a red ribbon, announcing the official opening of the exhibition.
Crowds of people rushed into the exhibition hall, and a beautiful staff member with a sweet voice introduced the background of each cultural relic in the exhibition hall.
Although this beauty's voice was pleasant, the microphone she used made her voice high-pitched and harsh, causing Yu Zhiming's ears and head to hurt.
He left the crowd and followed behind, then saw Gu Qingran hurried into the exhibition hall.
"Why are you here?"
Yu Zhiming asked, then noticed that Gu Qingran's eyes were red and he looked a little listless.
"Didn't sleep all night?"
Gu Qingran sighed softly, "We discussed countermeasures overnight and reviewed security records and measures to confirm that this isn't our problem."
After a pause, he explained, "Well, I was invited to the exhibition opening ceremony. I just accidentally dozed off this morning and arrived late."
Yu Zhiming advised, "After what happened, you don't have to come here at all."
Gu Qingran smiled bitterly and said, "After something like that happened, there's not much we can do."
"I came here mainly to relax."
He moved closer to Yu Zhiming and whispered, "The higher-ups said they'll conduct a thorough investigation. They also solemnly stated that if there really is a problem on their end, they'll definitely give us an explanation."
"only……"
Gu Qingran said with concern: "The Alzheimer's patients who are treated with that fungus have some special identities."
"If someone of high status is involved, it might not be a good thing for us if the higher-ups deal with it."
Yu Zhiming said righteously, "There's nothing to worry about. If you do something wrong, you will be punished."
"If someone is careless and takes advantage of others, it's not a big deal. But if someone colluded and betrayed the country, they must be severely punished."
Seeing Yu Zhiming acting like a passionate young man, Gu Qingran opened his mouth, but finally agreed: "You are right, if you do something wrong, you must be punished, no matter who you are."
At this time, Gu Qingran saw that the museum's director Chen Ge stopped where he was, waiting for them to approach.
Chen Ge asked with concern: "Doctor Yu, is it too noisy?"
Yu Zhiming spoke truthfully: "Thank you for your concern. The noise is a bit loud for me, but I can still bear it."
Chen Ge explained, "We close every Monday for maintenance. If you're interested, Dr. Yu, you can come visit on Mondays when it's relatively quiet."
"The door of our museum is always open to you."
Yu Zhiming said politely, "Thank you for your care. I'll definitely come visit you on Monday when I'm free."
"To be honest, apart from medicine, my knowledge in other areas is very shallow and I really need to improve."
Chen Ge chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, you are a man of expertise. My understanding of medicine is barely scratching the surface."
Yu Zhiming smiled gently.
Chen Ge suddenly asked, "Doctor Yu, do you know the Yongle Encyclopedia?"
Yu Zhiming recalled, "I know a little bit about it. It was compiled by order of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di after the empire was stabilized. It is the world's largest and most comprehensive encyclopedia."
Chen Ge sighed, "The Yongle Encyclopedia is a miraculous masterpiece. Originally compiled, it consisted of 22,877 volumes. However, only about 800 volumes remain, which is only about 4 percent of the original."
"Others were partially destroyed during the wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Still others were severely damaged during the Opium War when the British and French forces invaded. Some damaged copies were even taken abroad."
"Today, our country only has a total of 161 volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia. The others are scattered all over the world."
Gu Qingran said, "Director Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You don't need to give us scientific explanations."
Chen Ge smiled sheepishly and continued, "It's like this, Doctor Yu, I learned that a wealthy French businessman has seven volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia at home, and they are said to be very valuable original copies."
"This wealthy businessman has only one grandson, who is only eleven years old this year. Three or four years ago, he developed a strange disease that caused him to suffer from intermittent and unbearable pain. In the past few years, he has seen many famous doctors around the world, but to no avail."
Yu Zhiming said, "He's willing to use the seven volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia as a reward for me to treat his grandson?"
"No problem, I agree."
Chen Ge said embarrassedly, "Doctor Yu, to be honest, this is just wishful thinking on my part. I know his family has seven volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia, and I also know that his grandson suffers from a difficult and complicated disease."
"I was wondering if it would be possible for Dr. Yu to treat his grandson in exchange for the return of those seven precious volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia to our country."
Chen Ge added, "Of course, I need to consult with you, Doctor Yu, on this matter first. Only if you agree will I contact that wealthy French businessman."
Gu Qingran suggested: "Director Chen, as the saying goes, if you are too eager, it is not a good deal, and you can't get the price!"
"It's best to let that guy contact us first so we can sit down and negotiate terms."
"That's not difficult. Just find someone or use some other means to let him know how amazing Dr. Yu is."
"As long as he cares about his grandson's health, once he knows that Dr. Yu's medical skills are indeed amazing, he will definitely take the initiative to contact..."
