Chapter 34: Keeping Promises
After a brief and huge visual impact, Yu Zhiming quickly regained his sanity and took the moral high ground.
He looked up at Gu Qingran and said slowly, "President Gu, thank you for your hospital's appreciation of me, but I have already officially signed a contract with Huashan Hospital."
Gu Qingran smiled gently and said, "Doctor Yu, I am very clear about this."
"I also know for sure that Huashan Hospital is still going through the signing and stamping procedures, so the talent introduction agreement you signed with Huashan Hospital has not yet officially taken effect."
"Doctor Yu, you still have time to change your mind."
Gu Qingran reached out and patted the Mao Zedong notes in the suitcase, then continued, "This two million is just the signing fee."
"As long as you sign the agreement to join our Ning'an Hospital, the money will be yours."
"In addition, we will provide you with a house of no less than 100 square meters within the inner ring of the city, and a luxury car worth no less than one million."
"As long as you, Doctor Yu, have worked at our Ning'an Hospital for ten years, this house and car will truly belong to you."
"In addition, we will provide you with a team of three to five expert mentors to fully support your growth."
"During this period, we at Hospice are committed to providing you with the resources you need to learn and grow, with no upper limit on investment."
Gu Qingran added, "Your treatment at our Ning'an Hospital will be based on the level of associate chief physician."
After hearing what the other party said, Yu Zhiming felt a little dizzy and elated.
Putting aside other things, he knew that the current housing price within the Binhai Inner Ring Road was at least RMB 100,000 per square meter.
A house of 100 square meters costs 10 million.
Yu Zhiming was a little dizzy because of the other party's generosity of not taking money seriously.
Instead, he felt a sense of unreality and a sense of vigilance that there was an abyss ahead.
When pie falls from the sky, it is either solid enough to hit someone and make them bleed, or it contains poison.
Yu Zhiming secretly warned himself and pinched his thigh again to make himself more sober and alert.
"Dean Gu, your conditions should be enough to hire a medical scholar, right?"
"I'm just a young doctor with a weak foundation, little experience, and little knowledge. Even if I have some potential and talent, it will take a long time to test it."
"The conditions you offer make me feel uneasy."
Gu Qingran smiled faintly and said, "Doctor Yu, we offer this condition and dare to invest so much in you. Naturally, we have our considerations."
He stood up and talked as he walked.
"Over the past 20 years, we have been investing heavily in Hospice Hospital, aiming to build it into a nationally renowned, top-tier comprehensive hospital."
"But to this day, we haven't even achieved half of this goal."
"Let's put it this way. Today, our Ning'an has first-class hardware facilities and the best and most comprehensive medical equipment and instruments in the country."
"But the medical funding is only so-so, and most departments rely on retired medical experts for support."
"As for reputation, it is arguably the worst, affected by public perception and prejudice against private hospitals."
"Seeing your information, Doctor Yu..."
Gu Qingran raised his voice and continued, "I suddenly thought of a plan."
"Your medical talent is extraordinary."
"You have a very handsome appearance."
"Your experience is inspiring and touching."
"Doctor Yu, you are almost perfect..."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming began to understand his plan.
The other party wants to package himself as an idol star or internet celebrity doctor to boost the hospital's reputation.
"President Gu, I don't think I have enough ability to run a large hospital."
"Your plan is a bit unrealistic."
Gu Qingran laughed heartily, looking at Yu Zhiming with shining eyes, and said, "How can you know that it won't succeed if you don't actually try it out?"
"One person can lead an entire hospital. Someone has done it before."
"The next person, why can't it be you, Doctor Yu?"
"In my opinion, you have the potential."
Gu Qingran stood in front of Yu Zhiming, stretched out his hand and said, "Doctor Yu, please work with me."
"In my plan, no matter what the final result is, you will be the biggest beneficiary."
Yu Zhiming looked at the hand in front of him, and then met Gu Qingran's eyes that were shining with ambition.
He shook his head slowly.
Gu Qingran was shocked.
"Doctor Yu, I am being honest with you and have nothing to hide from you."
"Do you think the conditions I offer are insufficient and my sincerity is insufficient? Or do you think my plan is truly unfeasible?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head again.
“Neither.”
"President Gu, the reason I refused is because I have already signed a contract with Huashan Hospital."
"My dad always told us to keep our promises."
"If you can break your promise today, you'll be forced to break it tomorrow due to higher conditions. In the end, you'll be abandoned by everyone and achieve nothing."
"The second reason is..."
Yu Zhiming also stood up and said, "In your plan, Dean Gu, I will be the center, the center of everyone's attention."
“This is not the life I want.”
"I'm a bit of a solitary person, and I have some social anxiety. I just want to work quietly and live a quiet life."
"Also, I'm worried that I won't be able to resist the temptation of living in the spotlight, become addicted, and give up my persistence and hard work, and eventually become just like everyone else."
Yu Zhiming smiled at Gu Qingran and said, "Dean Gu, to be honest, when I first saw this box of money, my first thought was to take it all."
He said self-deprecatingly: "I come from a rural town and have limited experience. I don't think I can be self-disciplined enough to resist many temptations."
"In order to avoid becoming addicted and falling into a deep, irreversible state, the best way is to resist temptation from the beginning."
"Dean Gu, I can only say sorry to you."
"With the strength of Ning'an Hospital, we can definitely find a more medically talented and suitable candidate."
Gu Qingran looked at Yu Zhiming's clear eyes, silently without saying a word or moving.
The two looked at each other for a minute, and Gu Qingran let out a breath.
"Doctor Yu, do you know?"
"I'm feeling a bit conflicted right now. I'm both disappointed and relieved by your rejection."
"My intuition tells me that you are the one in my plan, the right one."
"But deep down, I don't want you to be the one in the plan."
"Don't you think it's contradictory?"
Yu Zhiming smiled faintly and said, "This is normal. Each of us is a complex of contradictions."
"Dean Gu, you actually know that I'm still young and growing. I need a relatively simple working and learning environment."
"Over-emphasizing and cultivating me might actually harm me."
Gu Qingran raised his eyebrows and said, "The environment at Huashan Hospital is simple?"
"I know that you were targeted by Vice President Yuan during the evaluation process."
Yu Zhiming said nonchalantly, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Such things are not uncommon in Ning'an Hospital."
"At least, in Huashan Hospital, I still have people like Qi Yue who sincerely protect me."
Gu Qingran sighed again with regret on his face and said, "After all, we acted too late."
The next moment, he changed the subject and said, "Since Dr. Yu is unwilling to join our Ning'an, how about we discuss cooperation?"
"Cooperation?" Yu Zhiming was a little confused.
Gu Qingran laughed and said, "Your teacher Qi Yue is also a specially-appointed expert of our Ning'an."
"Our collaboration in curing illnesses and saving lives is common, legal, and compliant..."
