Chapter 492 My life is not just about making money
At 7:20 in the evening, Yu Zhiming and Fu Xiaobo rushed to the place where they would meet the in-laws tonight.
A local cuisine restaurant called Impression Binhai.
As the waiter walked into an elegantly decorated small private room, Yu Zhiming discovered that the mother and daughter had arrived.
Mrs. Cao, the future in-law, was a well-maintained, slightly plump, elegant woman with purple-red curly hair that reached her shoulders.
As for his future nephew's wife, Yu Zhiming took a quick look at her and nodded secretly to show his satisfaction.
She has a pretty standard face that symbolizes peace and prosperity.
Although her face with light makeup shows some resemblance to Dr. Cao Zhe, her big eyes and high nose bridge make her look very pleasing.
Fu Xiaobo's aesthetic taste in recent years has never disappointed Yu Zhiming.
He felt that his elder sister would definitely be satisfied.
"I'm sorry I'm late and kept you waiting."
Yu Zhiming apologized first and quickly handed over a bouquet of carnations he had bought on the way.
Yu Zhiming felt that it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed on their first meeting, but when the time came, he had no choice but to buy a bouquet of flowers in a hurry.
Fu Xiaobo also followed suit and gave the bouquet of roses in his hand to his girlfriend Cao Yiyi.
Mrs. Cao took the flowers and said with a smile, "You're too polite, Doctor Yu. You're not too late. Everyone knows that you, Doctor Yu, are busy every day, saving lives and healing the wounded."
The next moment, she pulled her daughter beside her and introduced, "Hey, Doctor Yu, this is my Cao Yiyi."
"Is this the first time you've met her?"
Yu Zhiming looked at Cao Yi formally.
He is about 1.7 meters tall with shoes on, with straight black hair. Judging from his body shape, he has some flesh on his body and weighs about 130 pounds.
Well, she's a very healthy girl.
"Reeds are lush and green, white dew turns to frost. My beloved is on the other side of the water." After showing off his knowledge, Yu Zhiming praised her frankly: "Yi Yi, what a good name, and she lives up to her name."
Cao Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Yu, for the compliment."
After a brief exchange and greetings, the four of them sat around the dining table on both sides.
Then, after some pushing and arguing, they ordered the dishes.
But then, things got a little awkward.
Yu Zhiming couldn't think of a topic for a moment, so he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Fu Xiaobo out of the corner of his eye.
I just saw this guy flirting with the girl, without any awareness of livening up the atmosphere.
Alas, at critical moments, young people are still useless, and it is still up to him, the elder, to hold the fort.
Yu Zhiming, who was full of responsibility, slowly put down his teacup and said, "Doctor Cao..."
Mrs. Cao chuckled and interrupted, "Old Cao has an operation scheduled tonight, and he doesn't know about the two children yet."
After a pause, she sighed softly, "Old Cao and I only have Yiyi as our only child."
"Lao Cao values Yi Yi more than his own life. He has detailed plans for her future, especially for her significant other."
"In the past two years, many people have recommended handsome and wealthy young doctors to us, but Lao Cao politely declined them all."
"Lao Cao said that being a doctor is not only hard work, but also he has no time to take care of the family. Even if he wants to be a good husband, he is powerless."
Yu Zhiming nodded in agreement, "Indeed, doctors have different working hours and need to be ready to be called upon at any time during holidays."
"Girls who are willing to marry our doctors are all angels."
Mrs. Cao smiled softly and continued, "We just hope Yi Yi can live happily."
"Lao Cao's requirements for Yiyi's partner are that she is responsible, steady, family-oriented and considerate."
Hearing this, Fu Xiaobo straightened his back, as if he was the one being talked about.
Madam Cao glanced at Fu Xiaobo, then looked away and continued, "As for appearance, I don't ask for someone as handsome as you, Doctor Yu, but at least he has to be pleasing to the eye and above average in appearance."
Fu Xiaobo smiled.
He felt that in terms of appearance, except for being a little darker, he met all the requirements.
"As for economic conditions, our requirements are not high."
Mrs. Cao took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I don't ask for a billionaire, but a comfortable life is at least something I should have, right?"
"For example, a 200-square-meter house in the city center and a car worth over 600,000 or 700,000 yuan is the basic configuration, right?"
"We can't let our spoiled daughter suffer so much while working hard to buy a house, right?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at his nephew, whose back was bent quite a bit, and secretly gave him a look of contempt.
He said softly, "Madam Cao, considering Yi Yi's conditions, these requirements are not high at all in my opinion."
"However, I think the most important condition is that they are in love with each other and are determined to recognize each other."
"The relationship between two people is a prerequisite for being together. Other conditions should be considered icing on the cake."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Cao, my Xiaobo is a down-to-earth, smart, and motivated guy."
"Please give him some time to develop and improve."
"It won't take much. In two or three years, he will definitely give you a big surprise."
Mrs. Cao smiled faintly and said, "My daughter Yiyi is now twenty-four or twenty-five years old. This is the best time of life."
"After two or three years, in the eyes of many high-quality men, you'll be considered an old woman approaching 30, and your attractiveness will drop significantly."
Yu Zhiming frowned slightly.
"Mrs. Cao, you must be aware that we all come from rural areas in the north."
"Compared to a metropolis like Binhai, our financial resources can't be described as shallow; they're practically zero."
“If you want to gain a firm foothold in Binhai, in addition to intelligence, hard work and sweat, time is an indispensable option.”
"Two or three years of hard work is already considered lightning fast."
Mrs. Cao chuckled softly and said, "For others, I don't believe they can gain a firm foothold in Binhai in ten or twenty years, let alone two or three."
"But with your help, Dr. Yu, two or three years is still too long. I think within a year, your nephew will be able to afford a house and a car."
Fu Xiaobo interjected, "Auntie, please believe me, I will make Yiyi live a happy life through my own efforts."
"My uncle has helped me enough. There's no way I'm going to ask him to buy me a house or a car."
At this time, the waiter started serving the dishes.
Soon, the table was filled with representative dishes of the local cuisine, such as stir-fried grass heads, sea cucumber with shrimp and roe, steamed sea bass, and eight-treasure duck.
Several people also started to eat and talk.
After eating a few bites of food gracefully, Mrs. Cao looked at Yu Zhiming who was eating.
"Doctor Yu, don't you think running a decoration company is very hard work and you don't make much money?"
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and said, "Decoration work is Xiaobo's experience and expertise."
“Start with what you are good at and you will be more likely to succeed.”
Mrs. Cao objected, "But this is not your area of expertise, Doctor Yu."
"Doctor Yu, you are now a household name. It's no exaggeration to call you a miracle doctor. Your connections and influence are all in the medical circle."
"Let me put it this way. Doctor Yu, you can open a pharmaceutical or medical device agency and let your nephew run it."
"Not to mention a lot, making millions a year is easy and effortless."
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled, then explained: "Mrs. Cao, I am still in the learning and accumulation stage."
"I won't do this kind of medical-related business that relies on personal connections and favors."
"Once you start a business like this, you often lose control of yourself. Even treating patients and saving lives is controlled by others."
Mrs. Cao asked doubtfully, "Doctor Yu, you've worked so hard to study medicine and become famous, isn't it just for a better life and to make more money?"
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "To be honest with you, Madam Cao, I have taken on a lot of private work in the past few months and have been working hard to make money."
“But there’s more to my life than just making money.”
"Perhaps you think I'm being hypocritical and seeking fame, but I still want to say..."
Yu Zhiming said solemnly: "As a doctor, what I want to see more is the smile on the patient's face after he gets rid of his illness."
"I also want to leave my name in medical history and produce some research results of great medical value."
Mrs. Cao smiled uncomfortably and said, "I am too shallow and materialistic. Doctor Yu, you have such lofty ideals and ambitions, which is a blessing for all patients."
"Doctor Yu, I toast you!"
Yu Zhiming raised his teacup, clinked it with the red wine glass in Mrs. Cao's hand, and then took a sip.
After that, the few of them started chatting while eating and drinking without much practical content.
After finally making it until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming ended the banquet on the pretext that he had heavy work to do the next day.
Afterwards, Yu Zhiming drove Fu Xiaobo back to his residence in Zijinyuan.
"Uncle, is there no hope?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at the drooping Fu Xiaobo and said slowly, "Whether there is a chance or not is not up to us."
"If you insist on marrying her, she will also insist on marrying you. Who can separate you?"
"Besides, you're so outstanding that you've even been named one of the top ten young entrepreneurs. Who would think you're not qualified?"
Fu Xiaobo became stiff again.
"Uncle, you are right."
"I'm a good person myself, and Yi Yi and I are so close that no one can break us up."
Yu Zhiming encouraged him: "In any case, the iron must be hard to forge."
"Take me for example. Qing Ning's conditions are not bad, right? She is the beloved little princess of the Gu family. She is also very beautiful. And she is the one who is pursuing me tirelessly."
"Xiao Bo, as long as you are good enough, you will never lack good girls."
Fu Xiaobo raised his fist, waved it vigorously, and said, "Uncle, the most fundamental thing for a man is his ability."
"I will prove to Yi Yi and her parents that not only do I have a talented uncle who is a doctor that I can be proud of, but I am also excellent enough and worthy of trust and entrustment..."
