Chapter 1681: Line up by handsomeness
Around 8:30 on Monday morning, Liyang County Government.
Wu Sheng, deputy director of Zhiming Teaching Hospital and director of the county hospital, hurried to the small conference room on the third floor of the government office building and saw that Secretary Yan, County Mayor Cheng and several other important officials were all there.
He quickly bowed to apologize and quickly went to sit in the empty seat behind the conference table. Only then did he notice that Qi Bin and General Manager Zheng of Liyang Hotel were also sitting in the conference room.
Why did these two people come to the meeting?
As Wu Sheng pondered, County Magistrate Cheng's voice rang in his ears. "Before today's office meeting officially began, Secretary Yan and I discussed it and decided to call everyone together for a brief, special coordination meeting."
County Magistrate Cheng paused for a moment and then continued, "Before the meeting begins, I would like to share some exciting news with you all."
"According to incomplete statistics as of early November, the county's total investment has increased tenfold compared to last year, and its output value has more than doubled."
"With the explosion of production capacity in the next two years, Liyang will steadily move towards becoming a large and strong economic county, and completely get rid of the financial predicament of relying on food."
As soon as County Chief Cheng finished speaking, the small conference room erupted in warm applause, and more than ten people applauded as if there were dozens of people.
County Magistrate Cheng waved his hand and asked everyone to be quiet.
"Drinking water, remember its source. You all know the root cause of the earth-shaking changes in our Liyang County."
"That's Doctor Yu Zhiming."
County Magistrate Cheng raised his voice and said clearly, "In just over two months, Dr. Yu will return home from Binhai and hold his wedding banquet on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"This is a rare opportunity for us to express our gratitude, and it is also a good opportunity for publicity."
"It is foreseeable that many political and business celebrities and social elites will come to attend Dr. Yu's wedding."
"We must provide excellent service, show the best side of Liyang, and let Dr. Yu have an unforgettable wedding celebration."
Having said this, County Mayor Cheng looked at General Manager Zheng of Liyang Hotel.
"Boss Zheng, please tell me!"
General Zheng quickly stood up and reported, "Secretary, County Head, and all leaders, after receiving Dr. Yu's request for wedding banquet preparations a month ago, the hotel began a deep cleaning and repair work on the banquet hall, rooms, and hotel exterior."
"We have also started skills training for our employees and sent our chefs to the provincial capital to learn from renowned culinary masters."
"As for the preparation of ingredients..."
County Chief Cheng interrupted, "Regarding the ingredients, I have a small suggestion..."
He said, "The ingredients are so exquisite and luxurious. I think no matter how much we prepare, it will definitely not be better than Dr. Yu's wedding banquet in Binhai."
When Wu Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but think of the feast he had at Dr. Yu's wedding banquet in Binhai. His mouth was watering and he nodded in agreement.
County Magistrate Cheng continued, "Since we can't compete, can't we put more effort into developing local characteristics?"
"For example, how about using all the ingredients from Liyang County to make a rich and distinctive meal with distinct regional characteristics?"
Secretary Yan nodded and said, "That's a very good suggestion. We won't compete on quality or luxury, but will highlight the products and characteristics of a county."
"But this will really test your cooking skills."
"I wonder what you are doing, Mr. Zheng?"
Mr. Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "We're not near the sea in Liyang, and the mountains are small, so there aren't many local delicacies. We rely on culinary skills to transform relatively simple products into delicious delicacies that will linger in your mouth. The level of the hotel's current chef is somewhat beyond their capabilities."
"However, we can ask for outside help."
Secretary Yan chuckled and said, "Our Liyang cuisine belongs to the Shandong cuisine category, and we don't have any distinctive local dishes of our own."
"But next door we have a cuisine that is quite well-known and has a profound cultural connotation."
"Doctor Yu studied at Jishui Medical College. If we expand the scope a little, Jishui City is also Doctor Yu's hometown."
When Wu Sheng heard this, he knew that Secretary Yan was talking about the Confucius Mansion cuisine, which was indeed distinctive, and each dish could be told with a story or implication.
The taste of the food is also quite good.
However, Wu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable when using dishes from the neighboring county to represent Liyang.
However, to be honest, Liyang County really doesn't have any local specialties that are worth mentioning.
Secretary Yan sighed again, "I know that those people in Quancheng also consider themselves to be Dr. Yu's fellow countryman. After all, Dr. Yu has left the province and is working in Binhai."
"We shouldn't be too narrow-minded. Dr. Yu belongs to us in Liyang, to Jishui City, and even more so to the people of Qilu."
"Internationally, he is our China."
Wu Sheng suddenly thought of a piece of gossip he heard a few days ago, saying that Secretary Yan was going to be promoted to the position of executive vice mayor of Jishui City.
Perhaps this is not groundless...
After a half-hour special coordination meeting, the leaders finally decided that Yu Zhiming's wedding banquet would be mainly based on Kongfu cuisine, supplemented by a few so-called specialty dishes of Liyang County.
But all the food needed for the banquet was produced in the county...
Walking out of the office building with Wu Sheng and President Zheng, Qi Bin said worriedly, "My father-in-law asked me to reserve fifty tables, but that's an overestimation. President Zheng, you should prepare for eighty."
"The boss asked us to prepare 160 tables today. If there's too much left over, wouldn't that be a waste?"
Wu Sheng laughed and said, "Team Leader Qi, don't worry. Even if there are only 300 tables, there won't be any waste."
"That day, the whole county will definitely celebrate together!"
"If the guests don't control themselves, believe it or not, the medical staff alone will fill up these 160 tables."
Qi Bin said with a bitter face, "Of course I understand. The problem is that my fifth son wants to keep the scale as small as possible and doesn't want the wedding banquet to be too big or extravagant."
Mr. Zheng chuckled and said, "This is the leadership's intention, and it also reflects the sincere wishes of the entire county's people. Dr. Yu will definitely understand."
President Zheng looked at Wu Sheng again and said, "Director Wu, the hospital is openly recruiting medical staff. I heard that people who come to visit your house have to line up."
Wu Sheng said solemnly, "The hospital needs medical experts who work at well-known large hospitals such as Huashan Hospital, Union Hospital, PLA General Hospital, and Qilu Hospital."
"If the level and quality are not up to par, it's useless to look for anyone else."
Qi Bin suddenly became arrogant and said, "Although my fifth son is kind and approachable, as a doctor, he is very strict in his work requirements."
"If anyone tries to cheat or harm the public interest for personal gain, my fifth son will not tolerate any sand in his eyes. Then everyone will lose face..."
Chu Youyou's surgery was scheduled for 2 p.m. on Monday, and would be performed by Dr. Lin, a neurosurgeon and microsurgery expert who often collaborates with Yu Zhiming.
Recovery from nerve injuries is quite slow, generally taking three to six months.
The abnormal nerve discovered by Yu Zhiming also has the auxiliary function of transmitting heart-related information.
So, what Dr. Lin needs to do is to bridge another nerve between the two ends of that nerve.
After three to five months, the wound at the bridging nerve connection will be completely healed and will have full information transmission function. Then, based on further tests and actual conditions, we will decide whether to remove the abnormal nerve.
It was just bridging a nerve, which was a fairly simple surgical operation for Dr. Lin.
The surgery is minimally invasive and does not require thoracotomy, but it does require several more incisions.
He first took out a suitable grafted nerve from Chu Youyou's arm, and then through the surgical incision, he let the nerve shuttle through the body tissue to the designated position like winter fishing.
After that, the bridging suture is done with great care.
After the bridge is sutured, electrical signals are used for stimulation to test whether the nerve bridging work is successful...
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. Lin took more than three hours to complete Chu Youyou's surgery.
There was nothing wrong with Chu Youyou's heart during and after the operation.
But this is not a time to celebrate, and we cannot be careless. Chu Youyou needs to stay in the hospital for follow-up monitoring to check the impact of the operation and avoid abnormal situations.
Especially when you recover in two or three months, you need to prevent heart problems caused by disrupted information transmission...
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming finished his outpatient work for the day and also met Zhu Lei, the AI technology expert who is said to be ugly but very talented.
As soon as they met, Yu Zhiming felt a pang in his heart.
I was careless.
I was too arrogant yesterday and spoke too early.
The guy in front of me couldn't tell his age at the moment. He could be thirty, forty or fifty. He looked really ugly.
Yu Zhiming was at a loss for words for a moment, and he couldn't help but think of Qing Ning's first time making steamed buns with her elder sister in order to show off.
Although under the continuous repair of green lemon, the big steamed bun no longer reveals the filling and has become a bun in the sense of the word.
But the appearance of the buns made Yu Zhiming, who had never been picky about food, lose his appetite.
In the end, after the buns were steamed, Qingning took them away and fed them to the stray dogs outside the community.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, I pursued several people, but was rejected by them all."
Zhu Lei replied, then pointed at his face and said, "I think, with my appearance, maybe becoming the richest man in China will make my inner charm greater than my outer appearance."
Yu Zhiming didn't realize he was making fun of himself, he was just telling the truth. Girls would definitely not be able to eat him in this state.
"Mr. Zhu, given your current condition, achieving your goal will require major plastic surgery. Not only will your facial bones need to be reshaped, but your facial features will also need to be reshaped."
Yu Zhiming said: "Plastic surgery of this level will not last long, at most two to three years."
“After two or three years, another surgery will be needed for maintenance.”
"After that, the shelf life gets shorter and shorter, and surgical maintenance becomes increasingly difficult, until it becomes impossible to maintain and the appearance collapses."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued, "Every surgery is harmful to your body. In the end, your facial nerves will be out of balance, and you will also suffer from pain and other discomforts."
"Mr. Zhu, I have to tell you that although you are ugly now, you can eat well and sleep well."
"Once you have plastic surgery to change your appearance, although you will look better, you will suffer from discomfort and will not be able to eat or sleep well. In the end, you will become very ugly, even scary."
"Do you still insist on having plastic surgery?"
Zhu Lei was silent for a moment, then a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face. He said, "Doctor Yu, I just want to become more handsome, even if it's as short-lived as a shooting star."
"I believe that medical technology is constantly improving and developing. The problems you mentioned may be solved in the next few years."
It’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
Seeing that this guy was so persistent, Yu Zhiming stopped talking nonsense and gave him a facial examination.
As soon as he started to check, he found the problem.
"Did you suffer any serious facial injuries as a child?"
Zhu Lei replied, "I don't recall ever having any facial injuries. Of course, there were some bumps and bruises."
"Doctor Yu, what did you find?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "Your facial features are what we call maxillofacial deformity. Your maxillofacial deformity is caused by abnormal development of the jaw. There are two causes of jaw deformity: one is congenital and the other is acquired."
"Congenital factors mainly include genetic factors and abnormal embryonic development. Acquired factors mainly include metabolic disorders and endocrine dysfunction."
Yu Zhiming also added: "It also includes trauma and infectious diseases."
He continued slowly, "Your jaw development appears to be caused by congenital factors, but in my opinion, it's probably the result of severe trauma, coupled with occasional infections."
"The time should be before you are one year old."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that he didn't suffer any facial injuries in that serious accident that nearly cost him his life.
Otherwise, he would be an ugly monster now...
Yu Zhiming withdrew his hand from the inspection and saw that Zhu Lei was still in deep thought. He asked, "Mr. Zhu, have you changed your mind?"
Zhu Lei, pulled out of his thoughts, shook his head and said, "No, no! It's just that I remembered some past events."
The next moment, he suddenly asked, "Hey, Doctor Yu, do you have any way to draw what I would have looked like if I hadn't had that serious injury and infection you mentioned?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Impossible. You were too young when you were injured, and it severely affected the shape of your skull and facial features. I can't deduce it."
"However, if you have photos of you before you were injured, perhaps I can analyze and infer something."
"A photo before the injury?"
Zhu Lei repeated it, and said thoughtfully: "I'll go back to my hometown and look for it. Maybe I can find one or two."
Yu Zhiming added, "Mr. Zhu, I must be honest. Given your conditions, plastic surgery is quite difficult."
"Well, I need to first understand your definition of Xiaoshuai, your plastic surgery target..."
Yu Zhiming called Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Zhang Hai and Cai Yang into the soundproof inspection room.
"You all, line up from left to right according to the handsomeness of your facial features."
Zhou Luo and the others were stunned. After a few seconds, they understood what Yu Zhiming meant and started to move.
Zhang Hai stood on the far right very consciously, Cai Yang stood on his left, and then Sui Chi.
Zhou Luo stood on the far left and left an empty seat on the right for Shen Qi.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qi came directly to his left.
This made Zhou Luo's breathing become heavy, but it was not easy for him to change his position to Shen Qi's left side. He just stood up straight, raised his heels, and tried to make himself taller than Shen Qi.
Yu Zhiming said to Zhu Lei, "Who is closer to your target, Xiao Shuai, or any of them?"
Zhu Lei began to look at the five people in front of him...
Yu Zhiming quickly tried to persuade him, saying, "We must seek truth from facts. Some goals are out of reach and cannot be achieved."
"Also, the higher the goal, the more difficult the surgery. Not only does the possibility of failure increase significantly, but the shelf life is also shorter and there are more postoperative complications."
After a few minutes of difficult choice, Zhu Lei finally pointed his finger at Cai Yang.
Fortunately, I didn’t aim too high.
Yu Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a sense of challenge. This popular look wasn't easy to achieve...
