Chapter 1675: Virtue and Talent, Virtue Comes First
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingran met the person they had an appointment with in a private room of a teahouse near People's Square.
Cen Bai, now 74 years old, is the former chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at Union Hospital. He has gray hair and a thin body, but he looks in good spirits.
The two sides looked at each other, and Cen Bo spoke first: "Doctor Yu is indeed a young talent, shining brightly."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Doctor Cen, let's get straight to the point."
After a pause, he asked, "How much do you know about Zhai Yan's Life No. 1 medical AI?"
Cen Bai did not answer, but slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly put the teacup down.
He met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said, "Doctor Yu, I know that Boss Zhai has been actively seeking cooperation with you. We want to hold a diagnostic competition between Life No. 1 and you to enhance our influence and raise funds for the next phase of research and development."
"Doctor Yu, what conditions did Boss Zhai offer you?"
"Two percent of the shares."
Yu Zhiming did not hide anything and spoke frankly, then said, "Doctor Cen, let's not test each other."
"I highly suspect that Zhai Yan wants me to endorse his medical AI to create a sensation and secure high-value financing."
"However, I highly doubt his medical AI has achieved any technological breakthroughs. In fact, the level of medical AI demonstrated is actually achieved by medical experts like Dr. Cen, who are working behind the scenes to impersonate medical AI."
Gu Qingran, who was sitting next to Yu Zhiming, had been secretly observing Cen Bai's reaction.
When Yu Zhiming said that it was a group of medical experts impersonating behind the scenes, Gu Qingran saw Cen Bai's pupils shrink and the fingers holding the teacup suddenly tensed up.
Yu Zhiming continued, "I won't agree to a public competition with that medical AI."
"If Zhai Yan's medical AI wasn't fraudulent and he had such a powerful tool, he wouldn't be short of investment."
"If it's fake, he's trying to use me and make me take the blame. I won't tolerate such behavior."
Yu Zhiming also took a sip from his teacup, moistening his throat before continuing, "I'm a bit petty. If Zhai Yan has bad intentions and wants to use me, I'm sure it won't go well."
"Doctor Cen, if you have something we want, please state the conditions."
"If not, then let's not waste each other's time. To be honest, my time is quite valuable."
Cen Bai chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, you are indeed straightforward and quick-witted."
"Then I'll be frank and reveal the whole thing..."
He put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice, "I have what you want."
Gu Qingran finally spoke up, "Doctor Cen, what we want is something tangible and effective, not something that's just a bunch of back-and-forth talk."
Cen Bo nodded and said, "I have sufficient evidence. Besides, you don't need to come forward. I will personally expose the truth about Zhai Yan and his Life No. 1 medical AI."
Don't we need to step in?
so good?
Yu Zhiming asked, "Doctor Cen, what do you want?"
Cen Bai took another sip from his teacup, sighed, and said, "When I accepted Zhai Yan's offer, besides the high salary, I also wanted to contribute to medical AI."
"I never imagined it would end in such a mess. I couldn't resist his persuasion and the huge temptation. I lost my principles and bottom line and became his accomplice."
"During this period of time, I have been suffering from the condemnation of my conscience. I have not been able to eat or sleep well."
"This can't go on any longer."
Cen Bai met Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingran's gazes and said, "The reason I came forward to expose the truth is, firstly, for my own conscience, and secondly, I have a request."
Yu Zhiming quickly stated, "Doctor Cen, please tell me. It's not too much. We will not refuse anything we can satisfy."
Cen Bo said, "The son of a friend of mine is currently studying clinical medicine at Peking Union Medical College and will graduate next year."
"He's very outstanding. His academic performance is generally ranked among the top three in his grade every year. I'm not exaggerating. Doctor Yu, you can have someone conduct an investigation at Peking Union Medical College."
Cen Bai exhaled lightly and said, "My request is that you, Doctor Yu, accept him as your student."
This request?!
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "Doctor Cen, I'm not being evasive. You know my background well. I only have a bachelor's degree and only five or six years of work experience. In my situation, I can't guide newly graduated medical students."
He added: "The students I have accepted are all attending physicians with a very good foundation, who have the ability to practice medicine independently and have strong self-study abilities."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment before saying, "Doctor Cen, if you believe me, I can arrange for your friend's son to work at Huashan Hospital or Huashan Second Hospital next year."
"When he becomes an attending physician and performs well in all aspects, I will accept him as my student."
Cen Bo began to think.
He didn't think that Yu Zhiming was rejecting him, because what Yu Zhiming said was reasonable.
He hadn't thought of this at first.
At this moment, Cen Bai suddenly felt the urge to cough and could no longer hold it back, so he turned his head and covered his mouth with his hands and coughed twice.
Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip to suppress his cough.
"Feel sorry……"
Cen Bo was halfway through his words when he noticed Yu Zhiming looking at him with a hint of understanding. He asked for confirmation, "Doctor Yu?"
"Lung cancer, middle to late stage?" Yu Zhiming asked!
Cen Bai chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu's reputation as a medical genius is truly well-deserved. He diagnosed my physical problem with just a cough. I'm truly admirable."
"I do have lung cancer. Both lungs are full of cancerous tissue. I have no chance of surgery."
"During a physical examination last month, I discovered that I had basically no symptoms before, and I was also negligent."
Cen Bai gave a bitter laugh and said, "This is also one of the reasons why I turned against him and exposed him."
"I've done bad things in my life, but overall I consider myself a good person. But this medical AI thing... I don't want people to criticize me after I die."
"well……"
After a brief silence, Cen Bo nodded and said, "Regarding my friend's son, I trust Dr. Yu and will do as you say."
Gu Qingran suddenly asked, "Doctor Cen, excuse me, but what about your children?"
Cen Bo sighed, "They are all debt collectors."
"I've had three marriages and four children, none of whom have achieved anything successful. They're constantly asking for support. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be making money in retirement against my conscience."
"I have done my best for them. Now that I am in this situation, I will no longer care about them."
Cen Bo further explained: "I have watched my friend's son grow up since he was a child. He has always been very smart and outstanding."
"I treat him as half a son. I hope that this outstanding boy can have better development by following Dr. Yu."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Half a son, who would believe it? He must be his biological son..."
The two parties discussed Zhai Yan and his medical AI for nearly an hour and then left.
Cen Bo will return to Beijing overnight and will expose Zhai Yan's fraud in medical AI on the Internet tomorrow.
Yu Zhiming, Gu Qingran and Zhou Mo took a Phantom and rushed to Luwei Restaurant to attend the full moon banquet of Qi Yue's youngest son.
Not long after the Phantom started moving, Yu Zhiming suddenly thought of something and said, "Confidentiality Agreement!"
"That Zhai Yan must have made Dr. Cen and the others sign a confidentiality agreement with a high compensation clause."
"What about Dr. Cen's revelations and revelations?"
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Zhiming, you are kind-hearted. You even thought of this for Doctor Cen."
"Don't worry, let me explain to you that confidentiality agreements regarding illegal activities are not legally binding..."
Around six o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming and a few others rushed to Luwei Restaurant.
Because the parking spaces at Luwei Restaurant were full, Yu Zhiming and his companions parked their car in a nearby parking lot under the arrangement of the restaurant staff.
After getting off the bus, they had to walk to the Luwei Restaurant, which was over a hundred meters away...
After walking for only a few dozen meters, Yu Zhiming suddenly heard an angry shout, "Yu Zhiming"!
Yu Zhiming stopped and saw Dr. You Weixian striding towards him with messy hair and flaming eyes.
What is going on?
Yu Zhiming looked at You Weixian, who was stopped three or four meters away by guard Cai Yang and looked furious. He asked in confusion, "Doctor You, did I provoke you?"
"You don't think that the investigation into your accidental killing of someone is due to me, do you?"
You Weixian pointed at Yu Zhiming and shouted angrily, "Yu Zhiming, don't play innocent. Besides me, only Sakurai Mingmei knew about my physical condition at the time."
"She only told you."
"You've always been unhappy with me for switching jobs to Jingcheng Hospital. Even after learning that a patient had died on the operating table, you refused to give up this opportunity. You couldn't wait to inform the patient's family of my condition and told them to sue me."
"I am in this state now because of you."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Doctor You, whether you believe it or not, I didn't tell anyone."
He continued, "Doctor You, as an experienced neurosurgeon, don't you know that if a medical problem affects surgery, you should promptly request that the hospital stop the surgery and actively seek treatment?"
"You forced surgery and caused the patient's death on the operating table due to your own faults. And you still want to shirk responsibility?"
You Weixian's face twisted as he asked, "What do you know?"
"My operation went smoothly and I didn't feel any discomfort in my hand. However, the patient developed acute cerebral edema during the operation, which was complicated by respiratory depression and cardiac arrest. Ultimately, the patient died despite all efforts to save him."
"During the entire operation and rescue process, my handling of the situation was flawless. But your betrayal has left me speechless and unable to explain myself."
You Weixian roared, "Yu Zhiming, it was you who betrayed me that harmed me. I will not forgive you."
Yu Zhiming's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "You Weixian, let me tell you again, it wasn't me who reported the secret."
"You won't forgive me?"
"You'd better weigh yourself first to see if you have what it takes."
You Weixian saw the expressionless man in front of him who was blocking him like an iron gate, and then he saw another man who was protecting Yu Zhiming like a tiger.
He also saw Zhou Mo protecting Yu Zhiming on the other side, and Gu Qingran with a gloomy face.
It was as if a crack appeared in the maze, and You Weixian suddenly became a little more sober.
Given Yu Zhiming's current status, there is really no need to argue with a small doctor like him.
Realizing this, You Weixian said, "Doctor Yu, I'm sorry. I was momentarily distracted and wronged you."
"I really did nothing wrong in that operation."
At this point, You Weixian suddenly broke down and cried out, "Doctor Yu, please help me."
"I really did nothing wrong during that operation. I can swear to God. Please believe me."
"Doctor Yu, I can't go to jail. I can't stop being a doctor. I can't do anything else besides being a doctor."
"I still have elderly people and children to take care of..."
When You Weixian said this, he noticed that there were about 10 to 20 people gathered not far away, many of whom were familiar faces.
The next moment, he covered his face with his hands and squatted on the ground.
At first, You Weixian's shoulders twitched slightly, and he tried hard to suppress his tears, but when he thought about his future of being thrown into prison, what he had done today, and the onlookers, he could no longer hold it in.
Not only did he cry out loud, he also cried very unrestrainedly.
Is crying loudly...
Yu Zhiming was embarrassed watching from the side. Is this what it means when men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't felt sad enough?
However, thinking about how he went from being a respected neurosurgeon to a prisoner, Yu Zhiming could understand You Weixian's loss of composure and collapse.
I understand, but I don’t need to help.
At this moment, a colleague from Huashan Hospital who was familiar with You Weixian finally stepped forward, pulled You Weixian up, and took him away.
Yu Zhiming watched them leave and said, "Please help us find out who leaked the information and whether they deliberately led You Weixian to point to me."
Zhang Hai responded.
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised. He had originally wanted to let Gu Qingran take action because this matter also involved Sakurai Akemi.
According to You Weixian, at that time only the two of them knew that Sakurai Akemi was also a serious suspect.
If it was really Sakurai Akemi who informed on the matter, such a person would not be suitable to continue staying in Ning'an Hospital.
However, it was a good thing that Zhang Hai agreed. With the help of the relevant government departments, the investigation should be able to be completed faster.
To be honest, Yu Zhiming didn't really want to use them.
Chinese people believe in give and take. Next time, if they ask him to do some work that he is not very happy about and ask them for more help, he would feel embarrassed to refuse.
Yu Zhiming suddenly wondered if he was being pretentious...
Yu Zhiming, Gu Qingran, and Zhou Mo came to attend the full moon banquet today. In addition to the gift money, they also prepared a full moon gift for Qi Yue's youngest son.
The gift Yu Zhiming prepared was quite substantial: a red gold longevity lock weighing over 300 grams...
The full moon banquet started at 6:30 and lasted until 8:30 in the evening. Each guest also received a return gift.
The most eye-catching thing in the return gift was not the red eggs, but a large fancy bun weighing five or six pounds.
Zhou Mo looked at the tiger-head doll-shaped cake in his hand and couldn't help asking, "Is this for looking at? Or is it for eating?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's food. It's a custom in the coastal areas of eastern Shandong. In our area, it used to be customary to give away large, leavened bread about ten centimeters thick when the moon was full."
"That cake smells delicious."
Yu Zhiming sniffed the big bun in his hand again, and a rich wheat aroma came to his nose.
"Zhi Ming..."
Yu Zhiming stopped and looked at Teacher Qi Yue who was quickly chasing after him.
"Zhiming, Doctor You..."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Teacher, I know that Dr. You couldn't bear the blow for a moment and lost his judgment."
"I won't take it to heart."
Yu Zhiming further clarified his stance, saying, "However, I will not help to reduce his responsibility."
Qi Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not kicking someone when they're down, nor helping them, that's good enough. When you reach a certain position, you have to be more broad-minded."
He then whispered, "Given his current situation, the outcome isn't going to be good. There's no need to make yourself a target of revenge and treason."
Yu Zhiming nodded.
Qi Yue added, "Chinese people have always valued both virtue and talent, with virtue coming before talent. No one doubts your ability, but some may find fault with your virtue."
"The higher your status, the more self-discipline and caution you must exercise..."
