Chapter 580 Ulterior Motives
The award ceremony, which was originally scheduled to start at 8 p.m., was postponed until 8:46 p.m.
Chen He, Executive Director of the Chen Ying Foundation, stood at the ceremonial platform, took the microphone and said affectionately: "Let us warmly applaud and welcome the respected Honorary President of the Foundation, Ms. Xia Jin."
As the applause rang out, a white-haired old man pushed a wheelchair and slowly entered the ceremony hall along the passage blocked by two rows of people.
Sitting comfortably in a wheelchair, Ms. Xia Jin, with her face polished with makeup, had a smile on her face and gently waved to the friends who were greeting her on both sides of the aisle.
From time to time, elderly people would walk into the aisle, bend down and whisper a few words to Ms. Xia in the wheelchair.
It was only a passage of about 10 to 20 meters, and it took Ms. Xia, who was in a wheelchair, more than ten minutes to walk through it with her son pushing her.
Finally arriving at the etiquette platform, after a round of even more enthusiastic applause, Ms. Xia moved closer to the microphone.
"Good evening, friends old and new."
"I'm Xia Jin. Some friends already know about my health condition. It's time to say goodbye to everyone..."
Under the etiquette stand, Yu Zhiming, who was in the crowd, grabbed the small hand that was poking his waist.
He looked at the troublemaker Qing Ning and saw that the guy stood on his heels and put his little head over.
"Zhiming, can you really guarantee twelve hours?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head slightly.
"You're not sure, but you still want to make a guarantee?" Gu Qingning was a little surprised.
Yu Zhiming explained softly, "Spiritual power is very strange, especially for Ms. Xia's situation."
"Besides her own inner strength and determination to not give up, she also needs others to give her enough confidence and support."
Yu Zhiming said with a hint of pride, "As a doctor with a certain reputation, my confident words have been able to help some patients build up the confidence to persevere."
Gu Qingning let out a soft "oh" and said proudly, "You are not just a little-known person, you are famous. Even the King of Hell would have to give you some respect."
Yu Zhiming smiled and put his arm around Qing Ning's waist...
Due to physical and energy limitations, Ms. Xia's farewell speech ended in just three or four minutes.
Afterwards, she was pushed by her family and left the hall with a smile as everyone watched.
Next, the award ceremony officially began.
First, the president of the Municipal Women's Federation gave a speech for five or six minutes.
Then the president of the foundation spoke for four or five minutes.
After they finished speaking, they finally entered the awards ceremony for the top ten young women.
The first of the top ten young women announced is a 33-year-old individual entrepreneur.
A 30-second video was shown on the big screen, quickly introducing her story.
She was originally a housewife, but her husband was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and she had to shoulder the responsibility of raising a family.
Not only does she have to take care of elderly parents and young children, but she also has to take care of her sick husband and work hard to make money. In such difficult times, this woman tenaciously supports her family.
The guest who presented the award to her was one of the top ten outstanding women of the previous year, a female entrepreneur in her fifties.
The young woman who won the award gave a choked speech for one or two minutes, ending her award-winning journey today.
Ding Ye was the fifth person to go on stage to receive the award.
The person who presented the award to her was Dr. Wang Yaxian, a gynecologist at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University.
Yu Zhiming was fortunate to hear that his name was on Dr. Ding’s list of thanks, and his position was quite high, just behind Dr. Liu Yun.
While the award ceremony for the sixth outstanding young woman was in progress, Yu Zhiming was taken to the left side of the ceremonial platform by foundation staff to prepare for the award ceremony for the seventh person.
After waiting for three or four minutes, Yu Zhiming heard Chen He loudly say on the ceremonial platform: "Now, please welcome the seventh outstanding young woman award presenter."
"He is..."
Chen He paused for a moment before speaking aloud, "A renowned diagnostic medicine expert, emergency medicine expert, cancer killer, and a good friend of our women..."
"The medical genius of Huashan Hospital... Doctor Yu Zhiming."
Amidst loud applause, Yu Zhiming stepped onto the etiquette platform and took a folded card from Chen He.
He unfolded the card, glanced at the line of words on it, and bent down again so that he could face the microphone directly.
"Young film and television actress, Miss Xiao Rui."
As soon as Yu Zhiming finished speaking, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a long off-shoulder dress, with delicate makeup and long hair, coming up from the right side of the etiquette platform.
At the same time, the major film and television dramas starring Xiao Rui and the acting awards she has won began to be played on the big screen in the background.
There are also enthusiastic donations to charity and some social welfare activities she participates in.
After a short thirty-second introduction, Yu Zhiming took the red ribbon, award certificate, and red envelope containing the check from the foundation staff, handed them to Xiao Rui, and politely offered congratulations.
Then, Yu Zhiming tactfully took two steps back and gave the stage to the very happy Xiao Rui.
After Xiao Rui finished her speech, Yu Zhiming and she left the etiquette platform together.
As she stepped down from the ceremonial platform, Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, I never thought you would be my award presenter. It's truly a great honor for me."
Yu Zhiming said bluntly: "You're too polite."
"The truth is, the original award presenter had something urgent to do, so I was just pulled in to fill in the numbers."
Xiao Rui smiled brightly and said, "That's even more fortunate for me. Someone like you, Doctor Yu, is so outstanding and handsome. You are simply the dream lover of thousands of girls."
Yu Zhiming said politely and distantly, "Thank you for the compliment."
He then continued, "My girlfriend is still waiting for me, I'll take my leave first."
"goodbye……"
Go ahead and say it. Without waiting for the other party to respond, Yu Zhiming turned around and left the etiquette table where people gathered.
In a place far away from the etiquette platform, where there were fewer people and closer to the main exit of the hall, Yu Zhiming met Qing Ning and Ding Ye, who was wearing a red ribbon.
"Zhi Ming..."
Qing Ning shook the phone in her hand and said with a smile, "I filmed the entire award ceremony just now."
"Go home and show it to your fourth sister, and also send it to your uncle, aunt, and eldest sister to see your handsome appearance."
Yu Zhiming smiled and saw Ding Ye handing his phone to Qing Ning.
"Lime, lend me your boyfriend so we can take some pictures."
As he spoke, Ding Ye came to Yu Zhiming's right side and raised his scissors hand.
After Yu Zhiming cooperated in taking a few group photos, he turned his attention to the etiquette platform where the awards ceremony was still taking place.
It is almost ten o'clock in the evening. Next, there will be an award ceremony for the top ten outstanding women, which is more important than the outstanding young women.
Afterwards, we will take a group photo together.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but sigh.
He realized that he had rashly accepted the role of award presenter and now he couldn't even leave midway.
That's so rude.
Yu Zhiming looked at Ding Ye, whose face was filled with unconcealable joy, and said, "I'll treat you!"
Ding Ye put away his phone, waved his hand proudly, and roared, "That's for sure, and it has to be a grand invitation."
"Doctor Yu, I'll come to you again."
Yu Zhiming declined, "There's no need to invite me specifically, just invite them together."
Ding Ye said solemnly, "No, I must express my deepest gratitude to you in private."
"Doctor Yu, you have not only helped me a lot, but I also found that my luck has soared a lot because of you."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming saw Qing Ning's eyes widened, cheeks puffed up and looking away.
He followed Qing Ning's gaze.
Qing Ning's middle school rival Mo Xinmeng came closer with an embarrassed look but a flattering smile on his face.
"Gu Qingning, I've thought about it carefully, and I feel that what Dr. Yu said before is very correct. What happened in middle school, looking back now, is nothing worth mentioning."
"After so many years, it is truly a rare fate that we meet tonight on such an important and grand occasion."
"I think Dr. Yu's suggestion of putting aside grudges with a smile is absolutely correct."
"Gu Qingning, what do you think?"
Qing Ning chuckled twice and said sarcastically, "Mo Xinmeng, don't try that."
"I don't know you yet."
"Your sudden change of attitude is either like a weasel paying a visit to a chicken with bad intentions, or you have ulterior motives."
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise get as far away from me as possible and don't show up in front of me."
Mo Xinmeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Gu Qingning, Doctor Yu, I'm here with my boyfriend tonight to attend the awards ceremony for his boyfriend's mother's top ten outstanding women."
"My boyfriend's mom was named this year's Outstanding Woman."
After a pause, she continued, "My boyfriend's mother is the principal and a special-grade teacher at a middle school for migrant workers' children in Binhai."
"I retired at the beginning of this year."
"Over the past few decades, my boyfriend's mother has been dedicated to the education of migrant workers' children. She has worked tirelessly and has nurtured many outstanding talents."
Qing Ning interrupted impatiently, "Stop rambling on and on. It's a waste of time. Let's get to the point."
Mo Xinmeng looked at Yu Zhiming.
"My boyfriend's mother has been very active since she retired. She reads, writes, practices calligraphy, exercises, travels, and so on. Her life is quite colorful."
"But in the past two or three months, I've been feeling a little unwell."
"I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said there was nothing serious. It was just my age and my body's deterioration. Plus, I'm retired, so I need some mental adjustment and transition."
"It's just that my boyfriend's mother is a little worried. She's a little worried that there might be something seriously wrong with his health."
Qing Ning interrupted again, "I told you, you really have ulterior motives. After finding out that my boyfriend is a famous doctor, his attitude changed drastically and he came to me to make peace."
She suddenly sighed and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you come here on your own initiative to make peace so that you could ask my boyfriend to help?"
"Or did they ask you to come here?"
Gu Qingning glanced behind Mo Xinmeng and then said, "Your boyfriend didn't follow you. It seems you came here on your own initiative."
She tutted and teased, "Mo Xinmeng, it seems you are eager to show off and prove yourself."
"Is it because your boyfriend's mother is not happy with you?"
These words seemed to sharpen the pain in Mo Xinmeng's heart, causing her breathing to increase and her chest to rise and fall.
"Gu Qingning, I find you even more annoying."
"Your boyfriend isn't the only famous doctor."
After saying this, Mo Xinmeng's face darkened, and he turned around and left...
