Chapter 1616 Seeing is Fate
After eleven o'clock in the morning, Fang Yu returned to the director's office in the Youyou Hotel's private room and received a call from Gu Qingran.
"I asked my friends in Beijing to find out who the woman you sent the photo of is. She's actually a broker."
Gu Qingran said over the phone, "She relies on some connections and relationships to gain some benefits through matchmaking. In Beijing, there are many people like her who make a living from this."
"I learned that this woman does have some connections in the Medical Insurance Bureau and the National Health Commission, but they are not her family and friends as she claimed."
"As for taking patients to the PLA General Hospital and Union Hospital for treatment, it's probably because of the connections she's developed, as well as the way and means to make money. In Beijing, it's quite common for a well-known specialist to earn thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan."
Gu Qingran added sarcastically, "She brought people to find Zhiming this time, probably hoping to impersonate the big-tailed wolf. If she succeeds in fooling him and establishes a connection with Zhiming, it will probably help her improve her status in the capital."
"People like her are just bluffing on both sides, using the power of others to gain influence and leverage, but they don't have much strength themselves..."
Yu Zhiming brought Qi Xin and arrived at Huashan Hospital under the protection of Sun Lin and Guan Qiang. It was already past 11:30 in the morning.
It was lunch time, and Yu Zhiming, who didn't bring lunch from home, took Qi Xin and others to the hospital cafeteria.
Basically, the dishes are still the same, and the taste is still the same. Yu Zhiming, who hasn't eaten in the cafeteria for a while, can still eat them out of nostalgia and a mixture of sweet and bitter memories.
Qi Xin ate a piece of braised pork, and then took a few bites of vegetables and rice. She said, "It tastes pretty good. At least it's better than the nutritious meals at our school. It's full of oil and water."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "A doctor's work consumes both mental and physical energy. The total energy consumption in a day is not much less than that of a heavy manual laborer, so sufficient energy supplementation is absolutely necessary."
Suddenly, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He took out his cell phone and was surprised to find that it was a call from his fourth brother-in-law Zhang Bai.
Although the two of them were quite familiar with each other, they seldom contacted each other directly, and most of the messages were conveyed by Yu Xiangwan.
"Fourth brother-in-law, is there something wrong? Is it with Fourth Sister?"
Yu Zhiming answered the phone, but before he could finish his words, Zhang Bai's voice came out of the phone.
"Old Five, it's a company matter. Your fourth sister can eat and sleep well and is in good health."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said, "What happened at the company? I can hear your voice trembling with excitement. What could have caused you to lose control right now?"
After Yu Zhiming asked this question, he heard Zhang Bai's heavy and rapid breathing.
"Old Five, it's not that I can't control myself, it's just that the temptation is too great, and I can't help but react instinctively."
The next moment he continued, "Just now, an investment company came to me and said they were willing to invest 1 billion yuan and guarantee that the small canteen would be successfully listed within three years."
"Or, they acquire all of the shares..."
Zhang Bai's voice on the phone was a little distorted. "Old Five, do you know how much they offered? Five billion! A full five billion."
"You know, the estimated value of Xiangwan Canteen is only 300 to 500 million yuan, but they bought it at a premium of over ten times."
This news did not make Yu Zhiming excited, but instead frowned.
"Brother-in-law, with such a high premium, does this investment company have some connection with Huaihai Investment?"
Zhang Bai said on the phone, "Old Five, you guessed right. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they also implicitly expressed that they hope you and Huaihai Investment can make peace."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and asked, "Fourth brother-in-law, what are your thoughts on this investment or acquisition?"
There was silence on the other end of the call for five or six seconds before Zhang Bai's voice rang out again.
"If you want to stop working and enjoy life, there's really no difference between having billions and tens of millions for me and your fourth sister."
Zhang Bai said on the phone, "The canteen is the hard work of your fourth sister and I. It's like our child. I really can't bear to sell it to someone else."
"We work to make money, but making money is not the whole of work. I also enjoy the process of the small canteen growing step by step."
"They have ulterior motives for this investment or acquisition, not because they are truly optimistic about the small canteen."
"I don't want the canteen brand and reputation that I worked so hard to build to be destroyed in their hands."
Zhang Bai's voice on the phone became louder. "Fifth Brother, I've decided. I won't sell the canteen, nor will I accept their investment. I want to develop the canteen, pass it on to my son, and then to my grandson, and make it a century-old brand..."
After ending the call with his fourth brother-in-law, Yu Zhiming looked at the guard Sun Lin sitting next to him.
"Not only have they harassed the Gu family, Teacher Qi, Dean Li, Zhou Mo, and other people close to me, they've also tried to bribe my family with a large sum of money. Sun Lin, please tell the higher-ups that they're being too aggressive."
Sun Lin nodded gently...
Qi Xin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhiming, if we sell the small cafeteria for 5 billion, how much will you get?"
Yu Zhiming said: "Five hundred million, I have a ten-point stake in the small canteen."
Qi Xin's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Five hundred million, Brother Zhiming, are you really willing to give it up?"
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and said, "A year ago, even five million would have made me give up my dignity and bow down to him, let alone five hundred million. But now, money is really just a number to me."
Yu Zhiming added righteously, "When granaries are full, people learn etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they understand honor and disgrace. This old saying is very true. I am now more concerned about fairness and justice..."
After lunch, Yu Zhiming did not return to his office in Zhizhen Building, but wandered around the hospital looking for inspiration.
To be honest, Huashan Hospital is located in the city center and has dense buildings. Even during the National Day holiday, the hospital is full of patients and their families, or medical workers in a hurry, so there is no scenery to speak of.
But it is this environment and atmosphere that makes Yu Zhiming feel comfortable and at ease.
It’s just the wedding vows, and I still have no idea.
Suddenly, Yu Zhiming felt someone poking his waist gently.
He looked at Qi Xin beside him, and then followed her gesture and looked towards the front right.
On a small green space, a young woman in a hospital gown was seen in tears.
In front of her, a young man in a suit was kneeling on one knee, holding flowers and a ring in his hand.
There were several young men and women standing around the two of them, presumably their friends. The woman was still wiping away tears, obviously moved.
I actually saw a proposal in the hospital.
"Brother Zhiming, that guy actually proposed to her in the hospital. Is she terminally ill? Or is she going to have a life-threatening surgery?"
Qi Xin rubbed her eyes as she spoke, "Many movies, TV shows, and novels describe this. I never expected to encounter it in real life."
"Woo, so touching!"
"Brother Zhiming, can you help them?"
Yu Zhiming discovered that the little girl Qi Xin's eyes were actually filled with tears. He secretly sighed that girls of sixteen or seventeen years old have rich emotions and they were moved just by seeing the scene.
However, seeing it is fate, he has not yet had any inspiration.
"Qi Xin, it's not convenient for me to go over there."
"I went there and the news got out. Believe it or not, there are ten or eight couples proposing on the spot in the hospital every day."
"But you can go and ask what the specific situation is..."
