Chapter 544 Dare to Fight
"Zhiming, we're here, let's get off the bus."
Yu Zhiming closed his eyes to gather his energy, said "oh", opened the car door and got out.
In front of him was a five-story Western-style house, but the color and appearance of the building gave Yu Zhiming a sense of déjà vu.
He glanced at the community environment. The surrounding five-story, seven-story and nine-story villas looked very familiar, which suddenly reminded him.
This is the Rhine Mansion, which costs over 200,000 yuan per square meter.
Two or three weeks ago, in order to obtain a wild ginseng, I came here with Dr. Wang Wu to treat a patient.
Yu Zhiming's gaze returned to the five-story house in front of him and asked, "Qing Ning, your parents didn't buy all five floors of this house and transform it into a single-family villa, did they?"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "This villa has indeed been bought out, but it was bought by a group."
"My parents live on the top five floors, and the other floors are occupied by other senior executives of the group."
Yu Zhiming let out a light "oh" and saw Gu Qingran walking out of the villa.
"Brother, come over here and help me get the gifts..."
During his first visit, Yu Zhiming not only specially prepared a chess set that was said to be made by Heshen himself, but also bought a large bouquet of flowers.
I also took some local specialties from my hometown.
Gu Qingning held chess pieces in one hand and flowers in the other, while Yu Zhiming held salted duck eggs in his right hand and pancakes in his left.
Gu Qingran had a harder time, carrying forty kilograms of peanuts, millet, mung beans and sweet potato starch in his arms.
The three of them took the elevator directly to the fifth floor.
When the elevator door opened, in addition to the warm spring air that came towards him, Yu Zhiming saw Qingning's parents Gu Changxuan and Lu Hong, and Gu Qingran's girlfriend Zhu Ying waiting outside.
When Yu Zhiming walked out of the elevator, he was somewhat surprised to find himself in a spacious and elegant living room.
Is this an elevator that goes directly into the house?!
After a brief surprise, Yu Zhiming quickly and politely called for help.
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello, Zhu Ying!"
Gu Changxuan said politely, "Zhiming, hello too! Just come, but you're so polite when you bring so many gifts."
As he spoke, he was about to take the vacuum-packed pancake from Yu Zhiming's hand.
Gu Qingning stepped forward and handed over the chess piece.
"Dad, this is for you."
"This is a chess piece that Zhiming found with great difficulty. It was made by Heshen, a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty."
"Mom, these flowers are for you!"
During this period, Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingran had already put their things in a spacious kitchen of about 10 to 20 square meters.
In the kitchen, four chefs in white uniforms and an aunt were busy.
Yu Zhiming followed Gu Qingran back to the living room, took off his coat and gave it to Qingning, then sat down on the sofa in the living room.
On the sofa diagonally opposite Yu Zhiming, Qingning's parents were studying the chess set together.
"Huanghuali wood, regular script, running script, intaglio and relief carvings, all well-documented and in excellent condition."
Gu Changxuan's face was filled with joy, "This is a very rare and fine piece of inheritance."
"Zhiming, you are thoughtful."
Gu Qingning sat down next to her mother and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, Mom, Zhiming really put a lot of effort into this chess set."
"This chess set belongs to a Chinese American. One of his ancestors served as a provincial governor. The whole family moved to the United States in the early years of the Republic of China."
"He had a strange disease and couldn't find the cause or cure it in the United States, so he returned to China to seek treatment from an experienced Chinese doctor."
“In the end, it didn’t heal.”
"He brought this chess piece to Zhiming and said, 'If you can find the cause of my illness, I will give you this family heirloom.'"
Gu Changxuan nodded slightly and said, "This experience is enough to increase the value of this chess set by another ten percent."
He stood up and said, "Zhiming, I'll show you our collection."
Yu Zhiming followed Gu Changxuan through a 17-8 meter long corridor and entered a large room of 40 to 50 square meters.
I was surprised to find that this place was arranged like a small exhibition hall, with chess pieces made in different dynasties or ancient chess manuals placed under glass covers one after another.
Hanging on the wall are chessboards of different dynasties, different materials, and different sizes, as well as several ancient paintings of chess games.
Gu Changxuan obviously understood that Yu Zhiming was not interested in this, so he just gave a brief introduction and took him on a quick tour.
Even so, it was twenty minutes later that Yu Zhiming returned to the living room and sat down to drink tea.
Lu Hong looked at Yu Zhiming and said with a smile, "Zhiming, Qingning has told us more than once that you always get up before dawn and come back from get off work after dark."
"Is it very hard?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "Not bad, not too tiring."
"Compared to other young doctors who are so busy that they don't even notice the changing seasons, I have it relatively easy."
Gu Qingran explained, "Dad, Mom, this is just modesty. Young doctors spend most of their time doing repetitive, inefficient manual labor, or assistant work."
"Zhiming's work is basically the key to curing diseases and saving lives. The physical and mental dedication is very different."
"So, Zhiming has to work much harder than them."
Yu Zhiming smiled modestly.
Gu Qingran continued, "I know a statistic. The patient flow rate at the center led by Director Qi has increased two to three times compared to before. This can be attributed to Zhiming."
Yu Zhiming modestly said, "This is the result of teamwork. I still have a lot of shortcomings in disease treatment."
Gu Changxuan chuckled and said, "Don't be so reserved and modest in front of your family."
"The prerequisite for treatment is to identify the problem and make an accurate and timely diagnosis. In this regard, you are unmatched."
Yu Zhiming smiled embarrassedly again.
Lu Hong changed the subject and said, "Zhiming, I heard that your father is a Chinese medicine practitioner?"
Yu Zhiming spoke frankly: "I worked as a rural Chinese medicine practitioner for a while, but then the government tightened regulations on rural doctors and required certification, so I stopped."
"That's fortunately the case."
"Given my dad's barely adequate knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, the possibility of a medical accident if he continues doing this is very high."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "You belittle my uncle's medical skills like this, aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and spank you?"
Yu Zhiming said: "My mother always said that she was completely relieved when my father decided not to be a doctor."
"She was always worried, afraid that my father would make the patient sick or kill him, and that she would have to pay for the house she lived in."
Lu Hong suppressed her laughter and said, "You have four older sisters. It must have been very difficult for your parents to raise you all and cultivate you into such a talented person."
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "We have many children in our family, and I have older sisters, so our life has always been hard."
"Later, I was injured and my eyesight was not good. My life became even more difficult because of the care and treatment I received."
Yu Zhiming was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Fortunately, everything is over."
Lu Hong nodded gently and said, "Yes, it's all in the past."
"Zhiming, you are now successful and famous, and your parents can finally enjoy the fruits of their labor."
She then looked at Gu Qingning, who was nestled beside her, and warned, "Zhiming's parents will be your parents in the future, so you must be sincere and diligent in your filial piety."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "That's for sure."
"Mom, let me tell you, I often video chat with my uncle and aunt, and they like me very much."
Lu Hong glanced at her and said, "If they knew you were just a mouth and couldn't cook or do housework, would they still like you?"
Gu Qingning was unconvinced and said, "Mom, I cook, make soup, and do housework. I'm already studying very hard."
"My uncle and aunt also said that as long as Zhiming and I have a good relationship, they won't interfere with how we live our lives."
Lu Hong thought to himself, you believe this, aren’t you stupid?
She looked at Yu Zhiming again.
"Zhiming, you bought a house in Junshan Mansion. You will move in after the Spring Festival, right?"
"Will you bring your parents over?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "We'll move in after the Spring Festival."
"I will bring my parents over to live with us. If nothing unexpected happens, they will come to Binhai with me after the Spring Festival."
Gu Changxuan took over and said, "In that case, let's arrange a time to meet after the Spring Festival to discuss the matter between you and Qing Ning."
Yu Zhiming responded with "OK".
At this moment, Yu Zhiming heard a melodious cell phone ringtone coming from the southeast room of the living room.
He pointed to the door of the room and said, "There's a cell phone ringing in that room."
"It's my cell phone, maybe it's something about the company." Gu Changxuan replied and got up and went to the room.
Yu Zhiming picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then saw Qingning's mother staring at him with sparkling eyes.
"Zhiming, you are very sensitive to sound. Even through the wall, you can hear the conversation, right?"
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously, "It depends on how noisy the environment is, how well the walls are soundproofed, how loud the other person is speaking, and so on. There are quite a few limitations."
Lu Hong asked again: "Your uncle is talking on the phone in the study right now. Can you hear it from here?"
Yu Zhiming quickly made his position clear, "Don't listen to anything inappropriate, Auntie. I never deliberately eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
Lu Hong smiled with satisfaction and said, "That is to say, you can hear it, but you just don't listen deliberately."
"That's enough."
After a pause, Lu Hong slowly said, "Your uncle is currently reviewing an investment project."
"The investment amount is only 30 to 50 million."
"The company's analysts believe this project has a high probability of success and a very good return on investment."
"Your uncle is a little unsure."
Lu Hong continued slowly, "Actually, your uncle has some suspicions that someone is betraying the company and leaking internal information."
"Zhiming, you can use this ability of yours to set up a trap and find the traitor."
"Are you available?"
Yu Zhiming readily agreed to the matter of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was such an exciting business spy drama.
However, he said it would be best to use the evening time.
He is busy with work during the day and it is difficult for him to ask for leave.
A few minutes later, Gu Changxuan returned to the living room and listened to his wife talking about this matter. He disagreed and said, "Don't bother Zhiming with such a messy thing."
"I have my own way of investigating this matter."
Gu Changxuan looked at Yu Zhiming and said, "We still have some time before dinner. Qing Ning said you are particularly good at playing blindfolded chess."
"Shall we play a round?"
Yu Zhiming quickly refused, "Uncle, I learned chess from my father for a while when my eyesight was not good."
"After my eyes recovered, I never played chess again."
"I'm a lousy chess player, so I won't embarrass myself."
Gu Changxuan laughed and said, "My blindfold chess skills are just average, so let's just play casually."
"Well, let me give you some motivation."
Gu Changxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhiming, if you can hold on for twenty steps, when you and Qingning get married, in addition to the dowry, I will also give you a house of at least 200 square meters."
"But if you can't make it twenty steps, the child you and Qing Ning have will have the surname Gu."
"Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
