Chapter 379 Is There Any Hope?
After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Zhiming, Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning returned to their residence in Zijinyuan. It was already past nine-thirty in the evening.
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Zhiming found Xiaobo and Zhu Jun from next door were messing with his snacks.
The trash can is almost full of peanut shells, walnut shells, and chestnut shells.
Yu Zhiming felt distressed and slapped Xiao Bo on the head.
"Next time you come to my place, don't waste my snacks. You're already an adult, but you keep eating snacks. You have no self-control at all."
Yu Xiangwan suppressed her laughter and explained to Zhu Jun, who had an embarrassed expression on his face, "Zhu Jun, don't think too much."
"When they were little, they often fought over snacks and delicious food, and even got into fights."
"At that time, Xiaobo suffered more losses."
"After he grew up, every time Xiaobo came to see Laowu, he would eat up most of the snacks he had stored."
Fu Xiaobo covered his head and pitifully defended himself, "Uncle, I was just waiting for you anxiously, so I brought some snacks to kill time."
He further explained, "Knowing that you were signing the contract today, Zhu Jun and I thought we should start renovating the house right away."
"Just come over quickly to discuss the renovations."
Yu Zhiming snorted softly and said, "It's just the soundproofing of the second bedroom. What's there to discuss? It's not like you haven't done it before."
Fu Xiaobo helped Yu Zhiming sit down on the sofa.
"Uncle, I had no experience with the sound insulation renovation of the house in the county town. The sound insulation renovation here is a bit sloppy because it is a rental house."
"This time, we must do it properly."
"For example, replace all the windows with triple-layer thermal and soundproof windows. If the big house is quiet, the bedroom will naturally be quieter."
"Also, waterproofing and sound insulation treatment of the roof."
Fu Xiaobo said enthusiastically: "If you are not satisfied with the decoration of other places in the house, you can take this opportunity to work on it together."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Just soundproof the second bedroom. Everything else looks good to me. There's no need to make any changes. It's a waste of money."
Gu Qingning disagreed and said, "Zhiming, do you think the living room is a little too big?"
“Also, although there are plenty of rooms, there is no gym.”
She then advised, "Zhiming, with how busy you are at work, you definitely don't have time to go to the gym to work out."
"I personally think it is necessary to have a fitness area at home."
Zhu Jun pondered and said, "The living room is indeed quite large. The original design did not make good use of the space."
"If you don't entertain guests often, you can turn the living room area near the balcony into a semi-open fitness and entertainment area."
Fitness area?!
Yu Zhiming thought about it and felt that it was necessary. As a doctor, he must be healthy.
By then, you can lead the whole family to do fitness exercises every morning.
He nodded and said, "This fitness area is fine."
Gu Qingning chuckled again and said, "The second bedroom is a soundproof room with a separate bathroom. It can be self-contained, which is really nice."
"But I personally feel that this isn't very conducive to in-depth communication with the person living in the master bedroom."
"What do you think?"
Fu Xiaobo looked at Yu Zhiming meaningfully, wanting to express his opinion but still didn't open his mouth.
Yu Xiangwan nodded in agreement as if she had discovered a new world, "Indeed, now that Qing Ning mentioned that, there really is such a serious problem."
"Except for eating, Lao Wu can stay in the second bedroom."
She suggested, "Hey, how about a study?"
Yu Xiangwan said excitedly: "The study has a door leading directly to the bedroom, so to solve the problem, we need to go to the bathroom in the master bedroom."
"The two of them made a big noise, but no one else knew about it."
Gu Qingning's eyes sparkled as she said, "I think so too. A little romance between lovers should be kept secret."
Yu Zhiming objected: "The study is a bit small."
Yu Xiangwan immediately retorted: "Where is it small?"
"The area of the study must be at least half the size of your current bedroom."
"Besides, it's just a place for you to sleep and study, how much space do you need?"
"Also, the smaller the area, the better the soundproofing modification effect, and the more money you save."
Yu Xiangwan made the final decision, "It's settled, Xiaobo. We'll convert it into a study, not a second bedroom."
Yu Zhiming was angry.
"Yu Xiangwan, that's my house. I have the final say on which room gets soundproofed."
"You have the final say?"
Yu Xiangwan glanced at him, took out his phone, weighed it, and threatened, "Old Fifth, although this is your house, for the sake of your lifelong event and your future nephews and nieces..."
"Do you think that my parents and eldest sister will listen to my opinion or yours?"
Yu Zhiming suddenly became dispirited.
He glanced at Qing Ning and said, "It's all your fault for being so troublesome!"
Gu Qingning lowered her eyebrows and said amiably, "Zhiming, I'm also thinking about our future happy life."
"whee……"
Just then, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed a landline number in Beijing.
"Who is this? What's up?"
"Hello, Doctor Yu. I'm Jia Linqing from the Health Bureau. Is it convenient for me to speak now?"
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me!"
Jia Linqing's voice slowly came from the phone, "Doctor Yu, the Spring Festival is not far away. We should prepare to celebrate the New Year in good health."
"Besides, winter is also a hardship for the elderly."
"I'm thinking of organizing a physical examination for veteran cadres. I wonder when would be convenient for you, Doctor Yu?"
Yu Zhiming asked in return, "How many people are there?"
"I haven't done a specific count yet, but there are always two or three hundred people."
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "I don't have much time lately. Even my only day off, Sunday, is packed with work."
"Doctor Yu, what about tonight?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming asked back: "I'm not a robot, don't I need to rest?"
Jia Linqing chuckled on the phone and said, "I was inconsiderate. I should have considered that you, Doctor Yu, are also overwhelmed with work."
After a pause, he continued slowly, "Doctor Yu, as far as I know, it takes you an average of eleven or twelve minutes to diagnose one person in your outpatient clinic."
"The physical examination takes three to five minutes per person..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "If there's nothing wrong with your body, it'll take three to five minutes."
"With health issues, it's hard to say how long it will take."
Jia Linqing chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, one and a half hours should be more than enough to examine ten people, right?"
When I got to the bright morning, I remained silent.
"Doctor Yu, I wonder if you can spare an hour and a half every night to help me overcome this?"
Seeing that the other party was so unwilling to give up, Yu Zhiming suddenly came up with an idea and pretended to be greedy for money.
"That's not insurmountable."
"To be honest, I just signed a loan to buy a house today, and suddenly I'm in debt to the tune of tens of millions."
"I suddenly felt the pressure was like a mountain."
"In the following Sundays, I took on a few private jobs. One boss asked me to do physical examinations for his family or clients for 10,000 yuan per person."
Yu Zhiming sounded tired and continued, "I've been exhausted all week, and Sunday is a rare chance for me to recover."
"But when I think about the tens of millions in mortgages, the tens of millions in loans, and the ten thousand per person, I can only grit my teeth and get over it."
Yu Zhiming kept silent and waited for several seconds before he heard Jia Linqing's voice again.
"Doctor Yu, I understand what you mean."
"This is not a small amount, it's not something I can decide."
"That's it for tonight's call..."
Seeing that the other party had ended the call, Yu Zhiming smiled and said to Fourth Sister, Qing Ning and the others, "My image as a money-grubber has been established. I guess they won't come to me again."
Yu Xiangwan asked worriedly, "Old Five, that's the Health Bureau. They must have a lot of power. Aren't you worried?"
Yu Zhiming said casually, "What's there to worry about? I make a living by my own ability and have never thought about pursuing a career in politics."
Gu Qingning said proudly, "That's right, there's nothing to worry about. I have a diamond in hand, so I'm not afraid of difficulties or suppression."
Seeing that Yu Xiangwan still looked worried, Fu Xiaobo also expressed his opinion: "Aunt, if you had just given in to him from the beginning and accepted his request..."
"There are so many veteran cadres across the country. My uncle won't have to do anything else in the future. He'll just be doing physical examinations for them all day long."
Gu Qingning said again: "Fourth sister, the price of this medical examination opened by Zhiming is actually not high at all."
"Those great doctors in the capital city would charge at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for a pulse diagnosis and prescription, and at most 100,000 to 200,000 yuan."
"Zhiming is no worse than them."
Gu Qingning said proudly, "My grandfather's heart problem was diagnosed by Zhiming last time."
"In September before that, my grandparents went to the capital to ask a renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert to diagnose my pulse and prescribe a prescription for my health."
"My grandfather did say, but the other party didn't say at the time, that he had heart problems."
Yu Zhiming said matter-of-factly, "Qingning, this doesn't prove anything."
"Given the old man's age and physical condition, it's highly likely that there was no abnormality in his heart more than two months ago."
Gu Qingning asked curiously, "You gave Yuan Kun a physical examination tonight, and you told him that if he didn't stop drinking and take care of his health, his body would collapse within a year."
"You gave him a year's warning."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "That's different. Yuan Kun's body has shown many warning signs due to long periods of drinking and socializing, coupled with overwork and worry."
"That's why I was able to make some discoveries and warn him. This was also a precautionary measure."
"Your old man's situation is completely different. It's a bit like a sudden mutation. I just discovered it by chance."
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang again.
It was a call from the dean's secretary, He Yingjun.
"Doctor Yu, do you remember that bearded advertising director from more than half a month ago?"
"Remember, the commercial is ready?"
He Yingjun sighed during the call: "Our commercial is still in post-production."
"That bearded director is sick."
"Acute bilateral renal failure."
"He just called me and said that you were the one who told him to take care of his lungs and kidneys, otherwise there would be serious problems."
"He regrets now that he didn't listen to you."
"He wants to ask if his kidney can still be saved..."
The last two or three hours, are there any monthly tickets left?
