Chapter 321: Courtesy first, then attack
Yu Zhiming returned to the large office and met a man in a suit and tie with a square face and in his early thirties.
The other party politely introduced himself as Pei Fan, from the municipal government, who came specifically to discuss two matters with Yu Zhiming.
Yu Zhiming politely said, "It's okay to say it."
"Doctor Yu, the first thing is that an international friend will come to our city soon to sign an investment project."
"This international friend said that due to a certain genetic defect in his family, he is more susceptible to cancer."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
He knew that this situation really existed.
Some people are indeed prone to certain cancers due to genetic problems, or have a cancer-prone constitution, which makes them easily affected by the external environment or viruses, causing cancer in their bodies.
Pei Fan continued, "This person has heard of your ability to discern the big picture from small details, Doctor Yu. He's thinking of bringing his family along and asking you to examine him."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "This is a trivial matter. When the time comes, just have the other party contact my assistant Qiao Lei in advance to arrange a time for the physical examination."
Qiao Lei came over at the right time and handed over a business card.
Pei Fan put away the business card and talked about the second thing.
"Doctor Yu, early next month, the municipal government will organize a visit to Osaka, our friendly island city. There will be several important medical exchanges and collaborations."
"I wonder if Dr. Yu would be interested in joining this trip?"
Yu Zhiming now gets a headache whenever he hears about flying knives or taking a plane, let alone going to an island country where he doesn't speak the language.
Without a second thought, he politely declined, "Secretary Pei, my schedule is quite tight right now, and my medical skills are limited."
"I'll forget about this overseas exchange program, lest I bring shame to the domestic medical community."
Pei Fan didn't continue to persuade Yu Zhiming after hearing what he said. He stood up and said, "Doctor Yu, we have finished discussing both matters and have received clear answers."
"As for follow-up work, we'll contact each other. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now..."
After seeing off the efficient mayor's secretary, it was time for the afternoon workday.
Yu Zhiming started to get busy again...
It was not until nearly 6:20 in the evening that Yu Zhiming finally completed his work for the day.
After packing up a bit, he, Qiao Lei and Zhou Mo rode a shared bicycle to Xiangwan Canteen on the north side of the hospital.
The reason they rode shared bicycles was mainly because they were specifically told that the small canteen was located on a commercial street in an old residential area, making parking very inconvenient.
The distance was a little far, and the road was unfamiliar to them, so the three of them rode for more than ten minutes before arriving.
The store is a street-facing shop on the ground floor. The sign is simple and eye-catching. The large red acrylic luminous characters "Xiangwan Canteen" can be seen from a distance.
Yu Zhiming walked into the clean and brightly lit shop and found that there were quite a few people eating there.
There are twenty or thirty people.
Among them, there were nearly ten medical staff from the center, who were sitting in groups of three or five at the dining table and were eating.
Yu Zhiming also saw Zhan Qi from the emergency department and the young nurse Wang Li.
Inside the store, Yu Xiangwan, Zhang Bai, Gu Qingning, Fu Xiaobo, and three or four women in their thirties or forties dressed as waitresses were busying around.
"Zhou Mo, Qiao Lei, go get the food first. Take whatever you want. You're welcome."
Yu Zhiming gave some instructions and went to the dining area to greet the medical staff of the center.
Afterwards, he bumped into his fourth sister and Zhang Bai.
"How about it?"
Yu Xiangwan, his forehead covered in sweat, chuckled and said, "The preparations were a bit hasty, and I forgot a lot."
“But their feedback is pretty good.”
Yu Zhiming said bluntly, "They'll naturally say good things about me if I'm eating and drinking for free. Sister, don't take it too seriously."
Yu Xiangwan glared at Yu Zhiming and said, "You're not going to tell the truth just because you're getting free food and drinks, are you?"
"Try it first, then give your opinion..."
Yu Zhiming came to the long food selection table.
A typical fast food format, with plates of dishes already served and diners can choose from them.
Yu Zhiming saw bowl after bowl of steamed dishes, such as braised pork with soy sauce, four-happiness meatballs, chicken nuggets, fish nuggets, spare ribs, steamed fish, thousand-piece steamed meat rolls, steamed eggplant, steamed egg custard, and so on.
There were also seven or eight kinds of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
There are also six cold dishes and four soups.
The staple foods include white rice, egg fried rice, steamed buns, flower rolls, and dumplings.
Yu Zhiming also saw a large processing window on the other side of the checkout area.
There are three stoves inside, and customers can see the preparation process of dishes through the large windows.
Yu Zhiming looked through it once before going back to choose his meal.
He finally chose braised pork with soy sauce, four-happiness meatballs, steamed fish, stir-fried water spinach, cold-mixed pig ears, and kelp soup.
The staple food is a steamed bun and a flower roll.
Afterwards, Yu Zhiming brought a tray full of dishes and sat down with Zhou Mo and Qiao Lei.
Although Zhou Mo knew that Yu Zhiming had a large appetite, he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Yu, do you eat this much for dinner too?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "The main thing is to try a few more dishes so I can give you some suggestions."
He noticed that there was only one main dish of steamed pork ribs on Zhou Mo's tray, and the other two dishes were vegetarian.
"Zhou Mo, you don't have to be polite. We've prepared a lot of dishes tonight, so just eat as much as you can. I still need your suggestions."
Zhou Mo explained: "I will get fat if I eat too much at night."
"How about this, Doctor Yu, I'll just take a few bites of your food to taste it."
After hearing what she said, Yu Zhiming pushed the tray towards Zhou Mo, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The braised pork belly is a combination of fat and lean meat. The fat is not greasy and the lean meat is not dry. It tastes very delicious.
The meatballs taste just like the ones served at banquets in my hometown, and they are also very fragrant.
Yu Zhiming took another bite of the steamed bun. It was quite chewy. The steamed bun was made with old-fashioned dough and had the aroma of wheat...
He tasted several dishes one by one and asked Zhou Mo and Qiao Lei.
"What do you think this tastes like?"
Zhou Mo wiped his lips with a napkin and said, "I think they're all pretty good. They're more than qualified to work in fast food."
"As long as the taste and quality are maintained and the price is more affordable, I wouldn't say it's going to be a huge hit, but I'm sure it will be profitable."
Qiao Lei swallowed a dumpling and said, "My opinion is similar to Zhou Mo's."
"Also, these dumplings are delicious. They suit my taste very well."
"Just for a plate of dumplings, I'm willing to walk an extra ten minutes to come here and have a meal."
"It's just that the quantity is too small. There are only ten in a plate."
Yu Zhiming explained: "These dumplings are made with my own stuffing and wrapped by hand."
"The quantity is small because tonight we're just trying it out. A proper serving of dumplings would have to be at least twenty or more."
At this moment, a weak voice sounded in Yu Zhiming's ears.
"Uncle..."
Yu Zhiming turned around and saw Fu Xiaobo approaching with a droopy head, accompanied by Gu Qingning.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Qingning quickly replied, "Tomorrow, Xiaobo's villa renovation project is complete."
Yu Zhiming understood.
"Did the renovation fee really get deducted?"
Fu Xiaobo nodded and said, "Six hundred thousand. Not a cent was given. They said it was a quality guarantee deposit."
"That guy also said that he would give us the money only after two years if there were no quality issues with the renovations."
Fu Xiaobo looked aggrieved, "Uncle, that guy is really a bully. You have to take charge of this for me."
When I got to know the truth, I immediately became furious.
"Xiao Bo, prepare that guy's personal information, the expense statement, the contract, and other materials."
"Give one each to Zhou Mo and Qiao Lei."
Yu Zhiming then instructed Zhou Mo and Qiao Lei, "Once you get the information, spread it in the work group or other channels."
"Just say I promised..."
"If anyone can help get the money back, I'll do three favors within my ability."
Zhou Mo hurriedly persuaded: "Doctor Yu, three favors is too much, and it seems cheap. One favor is enough, enough for them to contribute their strength."
Qiao Lei also echoed: "Doctor Yu, your favor is very valuable. It will definitely make many people spend a lot of money to win it."
"Are my favors really valued so much?" Yu Zhiming looked unconvinced.
Zhou Mo nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, you are a famous doctor with a bright future."
"A favor might mean new life."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said with a hint of pride, "I'll just promise you a favor first and see how the situation develops."
At this time, Gu Qingning spoke.
"Xiao Bo, since ancient times, it has been important to use courtesy before force."
"We can't just start a fight. Go talk to that guy again and tell him about our next response and your uncle's abilities, so we don't miss any clues."
"Let that guy think about it himself."
Fu Xiaobo let out a soft "oh" and looked at Yu Zhiming again.
"Uncle, I have all the information ready, including the secretly recorded audio and video!"
"Tomorrow morning, I'll follow Sister Qing Ning's instructions and go find that guy again?"
Yu Zhiming hummed...
This wave of customers who came to taste the food came in a rush, and by 7:30 in the evening, they had all left.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Zhiming sent his colleagues from the hospital away one by one. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do in the store, he decided to go back to Zijinyuan first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Zhiming arrived at the door, he saw Teacher Qi Yue who was about to enter.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Yu Zhiming casually mentioned today's tasting event to Teacher Qi Yue, but he didn't expect him to come.
Yu Zhiming guessed that Teacher Qi had not set foot in this kind of popular fast food restaurant for 10 to 20 years.
Qi Yue walked into the store, looked around, and chuckled, "You guys are inviting friends and family to try the food here. I'm also a gourmet, so I came over to give some suggestions."
"The food I didn't prepare has been eaten up, right?"
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "Director Qi, yes, there are still many dishes. Please sit down first and I will serve you the dishes myself."
In a few minutes, more than a dozen dishes were placed on the dining table where Qi Yue was sitting.
Qi Yue picked up the chopsticks and tasted the cold-boiled pig ears first.
"Hey, this pig ear tastes familiar?"
Yu Xiangwan explained, "Director Qi, we braised these pig ears ourselves, using Dean Wu's recipe."
Qi Yue uttered an "oh" and said with a smile, "I'm not exaggerating. If we use Dean Wu's recipe to make cooked food, we can support half of the restaurant."
"Hey, do you have any wine?"
Yu Xiangwan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Director Qi, there is wine, but it's just too ordinary."
Qi Yue also remembered that this was a fast food restaurant targeting ordinary people, so what good wine could it have?
"Beer, Tsingtao beer will do."
Qi Yue called out again, "You should all be almost done with your work, right? Sit down and eat together."
"There are so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself."
Yu Zhiming keenly noticed that Teacher Qi Yue seemed to be in a bad mood tonight.
He invited his fourth sister, Zhang Bai, Xiao Bo, and Qing Ning, who hadn't had dinner yet, to sit down and eat with him...
