Chapter 362: There are ears behind the "cell phone"
After observing the abdominal cocoon surgery, Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan Community. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as I entered the house, a wave of heat hit me in the face.
Along with it came the ancient green lemon, which welcomed us with open arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.
Yu Zhiming threw away his briefcase and stretched out his hands to hold down the shoulders of Gu Qingning who was rushing towards him.
"Has the oil-filled electric heater been delivered?"
Gu Qingning flapped her arms a few times but didn't touch Yu Zhiming, but she said in a lively voice: "It was delivered this afternoon. It feels really good. It's much more comfortable than the air conditioner and warm air."
"Dinner will be ready when my sister finishes cooking the dumplings."
Yu Zhiming said "oh".
He pushed Gu Qingning down on the sofa, told her to "behave well", then took off his coat and sat down at the dining table.
On the dining table were dishes brought from the canteen, including steamed pork with dumplings, pork slices with mushrooms, and stir-fried lotus root slices.
In order to observe the abdominal cocooning surgery, Yu Zhiming only had some biscuits, cakes and chocolate for dinner.
He couldn't stand the hunger and was already starving.
He picked up his chopsticks and quickly took a few bites of the food, and then a large plate of steaming dumplings was brought to him.
"sister……"
Yu Zhiming called out to his fourth sister, "Dean Wu's son, Wu Yuanhang, sent an engagement invitation. What gift should we give?"
Gu Qingning, who was sitting next to him, interrupted anxiously and asked, "Zhiming, when is his engagement party?"
"Saturday night!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is no conflict."
"Zhiming, this Sunday, one of my cousins is getting engaged. Would you like to go to the engagement party with me?"
She added in a gentle voice, "It's a matter of reciprocity. I'll also accompany you to Wu Yuanhang's engagement party on Saturday night."
Yu Zhiming glanced at this guy and said, "You're just wishful thinking. They only invited me, but they didn't ask you to go."
At this time, a big red invitation was handed over.
Yu Xiangwan chuckled and said, "It's clearly written on the invitation that Lao Wu should bring a companion."
"Qing Ning, you can go with Lao Wu!"
Yu Zhiming looked at Gu Qingning, who was smiling as she examined the invitation, and said angrily, "Yu Xiangwan, don't go through my bag casually in the future."
Yu Xiangwan rolled her eyes at him.
"Old Five, you and Qing Ning are now boyfriend and girlfriend. You should openly introduce them to your friends. Why keep it secret?"
"That's right."
Gu Qingning said with a slightly aggrieved look on her face, "I've already announced it immediately."
"I wish the whole world would know that you, Yu Zhiming, are my boyfriend."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes, looked at Yu Xiangwan, and changed the subject: "Sister, for Wu Yuanhang's engagement party, should we give gifts or red envelopes?"
"Or both?"
Yu Xiangwan pondered and said, "Just give him a big red envelope. A sedan chair is worth carrying. Dean Wu has been quite good to you and Third Sister, so we should reciprocate."
"But it's just an engagement party..."
Yu Xiangwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's just use 6666, Qing Ning. What do you think?"
Gu Qingning nodded and said, "I think it's okay!"
"After all, Zhiming's status is no longer what it used to be. They need us more than we need them."
"Zhiming's personal presence to congratulate us is enough to show how much he values the relationship between us. The amount of the red envelope isn't that important."
Yu Xiangwan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Qing Ning's analysis is really clear and thorough. I'll give you four red envelopes of six."
Yu Zhiming swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of water, and said with a smug look on his face: "You two, sit tight. I have some great news for you."
Gu Qingning propped her chin up with both hands, her eyes sparkling as she asked delicately, "Zhiming, what's the good news?"
Yu Zhiming criticized: "Speak properly."
After a pause, he recounted in detail how the hospital had substantially increased his salary.
"Oh my, Lao Wu, do you really need to pay me an extra million?!"
"Zhiming, good, good! The hospital truly recognizes your value and importance..."
After the two women chattered excitedly, Yu Xiangwan excitedly shouted, "Lao Wu, your salary next month should be 1.5 million, right?"
"Adding Ning An's salary, your current savings would be around three million."
"Old Five, it's time to consider buying a house."
Yu Xiangwan provoked again, "Old Five, when you and Qing Ning get married in the future, you can't live in Qing Ning's house, right?"
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "Get married?"
"character……"
Seeing Gu Qingning's lips about to pout, he stopped himself in time and changed the subject, "It's too early to talk about this now. We have to talk about it for at least a year or two first."
Yu Xiangwan persuaded, "That's perfect. If you buy a new house, you'll have to wait at least a year or two for delivery."
"When buying a second-hand house, you still have to look around and compare properties. It's normal to spend six months or a year on this."
Gu Qingning volunteered, "Zhiming, looking at and buying houses is very tedious and time-consuming. How can you have the free time?"
"Why don't you let me do it?"
Without waiting for Yu Zhiming to speak, she continued, "I know what you want. It would be best if it were a large gated community, not close to the main road, on the top floor. That way it would be quieter."
"The closer to Huashan Hospital, the better."
"As for the room type, there should be at least three rooms. You have one room to yourself, a bedroom and study, one room for me, and one room for my parents."
Yu Xiangwan interrupted with a smile and asked, "Qing Ning, where is your and Lao Wu's child?"
Gu Qingning said with a motherly look on her face, "Of course you should live in the same room with me. I'll take care of her and won't disturb her until Zhiming."
Yu Zhiming reached out and flicked Qing Ning's forehead, saying, "You have a good idea, but the problem is, life is about the daily necessities of life, and it can't be sustained by enthusiasm alone."
"You are a rich lady, raised in pampered condition."
Yu Zhiming exhaled lightly and said, "Now that I've decided to buy a house, I can't say I have to do it all at once. I have to at least consider the next seven or eight years."
"The house must have at least four bedrooms, and hiring a full-time aunt to do the grocery shopping and cooking is a must and necessary."
These words made Gu Qingning's face full of tenderness and sweetness, because it meant that Zhiming took her to heart and considered her.
Yu Xiangwan had to remind him, "Old Fifth, there are no affordable houses with at least four bedrooms. They are all luxurious and large, and they start at at least 150 to 160 square meters."
"With the average house price in the inner ring being 100,000 yuan, this would be 15 or 16 million yuan, and the down payment would be 5 million yuan."
Gu Qingning raised her hand and said, "Sister, I have some savings too. I can make money myself. I will share the responsibility with Zhiming."
Yu Zhiming said very generously: "Qing Ning, I don't need your money. For me, it's a simple matter to get a down payment."
"At worst, I'll just have to work harder for the next two months before the New Year."
In more than two months, earn another two million.
Yu Xiangwan was just about to tease him and say, you run a bank, making money is as easy as picking up money.
But then she thought about Lao Wu's earning ability in the past few months, and she kept silent.
With Lao Wu's ability, he can really do it.
Gu Qingning pouted and said, "Zhiming, your home is also my home. It's my duty to contribute a little."
Yu Zhiming smiled and explained, "Qing Ning, it's not my male chauvinism that's causing the problem. If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't mind being a gigolo and using your money."
"Since you can afford to buy a house, there is no need for you to contribute."
Yu Xiangwan nodded and said, "Qing Ning, the custom in our place is that the man buys a house and a car, and the woman gives a dowry."
While they were talking, Yu Zhiming had also finished his meal.
Yu Xiangwan got up to clean up the dishes.
Gu Qingning also wanted to help clean up, and her phone rang...
"Fourth cousin's uncle?"
Gu Qingning looked at the note after the name in brackets on the caller ID, said something puzzled, and answered the call.
"Qing Ning, hello! You may not know me well, but I'm your fourth cousin..."
Gu Qingning interrupted, "I know, fourth cousin's uncle, I have a note about you in my address book."
"Good evening, uncle!"
"What's the matter?"
The other party chuckled on the phone and continued, "Qing Ning, I just heard that you're dating Yu Zhiming, that talented young doctor from Huashan Hospital?"
Gu Qingning glanced at Yu Zhiming beside her, and replied to the phone with a smile: "Uncle, you heard it right, we are dating, and we just confirmed our relationship a few days ago."
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Doctor Yu is not only handsome, but also a highly skilled doctor. He's definitely a perfect match!"
The uncle praised her and then said, "Qing Ning, can you do me a favor?"
He further explained during the call, "Qing Ning, you may not know this, but I work in weak current engineering, mainly burglar alarms and surveillance systems."
"My clients are mainly government agencies, enterprises and institutions. Every year at the end of the year, I have to worry about what gifts to give in order to smoothly collect the debts."
"They say these days that giving gifts is not as good as giving health. Your boyfriend, Dr. Yu, is renowned for his physical examination skills."
"Qing Ning, could you ask your boyfriend to help check the health of several of my clients and their families?"
Gu Qingning looked at Yu Zhiming and saw that there was no expression of annoyance on his face. She then thought of what he had just said, that he had to work hard to earn the down payment.
She rolled her eyes and said tantalizingly, "Uncle, you must understand that my family is always very busy, and our schedule is already scheduled until after the Spring Festival."
"I can only ask for you about this matter, but I can't make any guarantees."
Fourth cousin's uncle chuckled and said, "Qing Ning, Dr. Yu and you just confirmed your relationship, he must love you very much. Whether he can spare the time is just a matter of your words."
"Qing Ning, don't worry, I'm not a stingy person. As long as Dr. Yu agrees, I will give you whatever gift you want."
Gu Qingning rolled her eyes and said seriously, "Uncle, you must have misunderstood."
"Actually, between Zhiming and I, I was the one pursuing him. He had always ignored me before."
"No way?"
The uncle's voice on the phone was full of surprise, "Qing Ning, you are the little princess of the Gu family."
"Not only are you beautiful, but your family background is unmatched. The people who want to pursue you can line up from Binhai to the beach."
Gu Qingning let out an exaggerated sigh and said, "Uncle, there's nothing I can do. His excellence, his talent and beauty, have made me deeply attracted to him and unable to extricate myself."
"I had no choice but to let go of my pride and chase him."
After a pause, she added, "In order to maintain this hard-earned love, I can't make him unhappy."
"Uncle, you may not believe it, but this is the truth."
Gu Qingning made a face at Yu Zhiming, then turned and said, "Uncle, in the current situation, if you want my Zhiming to be willing to take out his precious rest time, you have to handle this matter impartially. It depends on what conditions you are willing to offer."
She continued, "Uncle, I can give you a reference. Just the day before yesterday, the Four Seasons Club held an entrepreneur gathering and invited my son Zhiming to go for a physical examination. The cost was 10,000 yuan per person."
"Ten thousand per person?!"
My fourth cousin's uncle repeated it on the phone and said with emotion, "Qing Ning, you said you were pursuing Dr. Yu. Now I really believe it."
"With your family background, Qing Ning, you wouldn't frame yourself for a mere ten thousand yuan."
"This also makes me admire Dr. Yu even more. I admire not only his medical skills, but also his charm."
"so……"
Fourth cousin's uncle pondered for a moment during the call, and suddenly, Yu Zhiming's ears moved slightly.
He keenly caught some unusual creaking sounds coming from the other end of the call.
It was like the sound of something being overwhelmed!
What is this?
This guy who can only be heard but not seen is a fat man, who is weighing down the chair or bed?
Yu Zhiming denied it immediately.
The creaking sound should be some distance away from him.
There are other people around this guy.
Yu Zhiming, who was curious and inquisitive, pulled Qingning into the bedroom.
In the much quieter bedroom, Yu Zhiming listened attentively and heard the sound of footsteps walking back and forth from his mobile phone again.
This is the sound of someone walking in slippers, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it is obviously not the sound of a man walking.
Based on past experience, Yu Zhiming judged that there was a slim woman weighing only about 80 pounds with his uncle.
At this time, there was another clearer creaking sound, and at the same time, the footsteps became heavier and more chaotic.
this……
Just as Yu Zhiming was thinking, his uncle's voice finally rang out from the phone again.
"Lime, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I just did a rough calculation and I think we'll need about thirty or forty people, no more than forty-five."
"How about this? I'll pay Dr. Yu $500,000 and ask him to make one day available in early December."
Gu Qingning was about to respond when Yu Zhiming unexpectedly handed her a note.
She glanced at the note and, although she was puzzled, she still said to the phone: "Uncle, I will say the following words, and you just listen. Just answer yes or no?"
"Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Gu Qingning took another note from Yu Zhiming.
"There's a slim woman with you?"
After a moment of silence, a voice rang out, "Yes!"
Gu Qingning took another piece of paper and read, "In front of the left, is there something similar to a wardrobe that can hold people?"
Just a few seconds after she finished reading, she heard a roar.
"Bitch, how dare you hide a man..."
