Chapter 623: Villain First, Gentleman Later
At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming finished his outpatient work for the day and couldn't help but stretch.
“It’s great to be one day closer to the New Year and to going home!”
Zhou Mo followed suit and stretched lazily, saying, "You're already this old, and you're still looking forward to the New Year?"
Yu Zhi understood her at a glance and chuckled softly, "What's wrong with celebrating the New Year? There are delicious foods every day, no work, and you can even sleep in."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "That's right, you are the youngest son that your parents pamper, and you have four older sisters."
"When you go home for the New Year, food will be served and clothes will be provided. All you have to do is enjoy yourself."
She sighed again and said, "I'm in a worse situation."
"During the Spring Festival, my mother will treat me as a model, following her around to visit and participate in activities."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Didn't you say that your orders for Chinese wedding attire are booked for the entire year?"
"Shouldn't it be so hard this year?"
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Actually, business was pretty good before. Visiting people everywhere during the Spring Festival has become a routine."
As they were talking, the outpatient clinic was cleaned up and the two of them left with their personal belongings.
On the way back to the center building, Zhou Mo received a call from a friend.
After the call ended, Zhou Mo said with a complicated expression: "Doctor Yu, I've found some information about that guy who ran away."
She went on to say, "A Didi driver reported to the police that the guy hired him to drive to Yunnan Province."
"Nowadays, people are likely to have sneaked into Myanmar."
Zhou Mo said in a deep voice, "The police also found out that he had previously signed up for a Spring Festival tour group to the United States. I guess he had already planned to escape."
"It must be my report that disrupted his plans. His company confiscated his passport, Hong Kong and Macau pass and other documents."
"He had to sneak into a chaotic place like Myanmar."
Yu Zhiming advised, "Don't blame yourself, and don't worry about him. The blisters on your feet are all caused by walking."
"It was his own choice for him to get to this point."
Zhou Mo let out a long breath and forced a smile, "This is the only way I can comfort myself."
"I hope he doesn't get punched in the back over there..."
After arriving at the large office in the center's small building, Yu Zhiming was immediately called by Qi Yue to the director's office.
"Dr. Lou from Bin University Affiliated Hospital has taken over the case of Wen Ling."
Qi Yue further explained, "Dr. Lou didn't want to take the job, but after seeing your hand-drawn cardiac X-ray diagram, he changed his mind. He said he wanted to practice and compare it to see if your exploration skills were truly accurate."
Yu Zhiming smiled confidently and asked again.
"Teacher, what about the surgery fee?"
Qi Yue replied: "As for the expenses, I have contacted a charity foundation for her, and they will cover most of it."
"Next, it depends on her luck."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "That girl met Qi Xin, met me, and met the teacher. I guess she's quite lucky."
Qi Yue also said happily: "I hope that as you said, she is a girl with good luck."
"Of course."
Yu Zhiming affirmed firmly, then turned and asked with concern: "Teacher, what about Qi Xin?"
When asked about Qi Xin, Qi Yue's expression became distressed.
"Yesterday's events may seem like a thing of the past, but we'll soon face a new and thorny problem."
"In recent years, every Spring Festival, I would take my wife and children to travel abroad."
"This year's Spring Festival travel schedule has also been arranged long ago."
"How to arrange Xiao Xin has become a troublesome matter!"
Yu Zhiming asked again, "Where is Researcher Xie?"
Qi Yue said with dissatisfaction: "She is now blinded by love. She said that she has devoted herself to Xiao Xin for so many years, but now she doesn't get any understanding or consideration."
"She said she doesn't care about her anymore and lets her do whatever she wants."
this……
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but grin, thinking to himself, it's true that if you have a stepfather, you will have a stepmother.
He glanced at the teacher who had an embarrassment on his face and thought, this biological father doesn't seem to be very qualified either.
Qi Yue said slowly: "I thought about letting Xiao Xin spend the Spring Festival with my sister and Wen Zhu first."
"Wenzhu has now passed the pregnancy reaction period and is recovering well. It will be more lively to celebrate the Spring Festival with more people."
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming was certain that Teacher Qi was an unqualified father.
Yin Wenzhu is a germaphobe and is pregnant, so she probably doesn't like having one more person at home.
Of course, this is just Yu Zhiming's guess.
They were Qi Xin's aunt and cousin, so maybe they were as close as family...
Yu Zhiming returned to the large office and asked Zhou Mo, "Are you familiar with the teacher's youngest daughter, Qi Xin?"
Zhou Mo said, "We've met a few times. I know each other, but I can't say I'm that familiar with him. After all, there's a big age gap between us."
"Doctor Yu, what's going on?"
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "Qi Xin has a friend named Wen Ling who has a congenital heart defect. He will probably have heart surgery at Bin University Affiliated Hospital in the next two or three days."
"This girl's ability to undergo this surgery is partly due to my involvement. However, this surgery carries considerable risk."
"Zhou Mo, contact Qi Xin and keep an eye on this girl's surgery. Tell me if you have any news."
Zhou Mo nodded and said "OK".
Yu Zhiming hesitated for a moment, then warned, "Qi Xin has had a hard time lately. Her mother is getting remarried, her teacher is taking his wife and children on an overseas trip, and her friend is having major surgery."
"If it's convenient for you, you can chat with her more, have a meal together, go shopping or something like that."
Zhou Mo replied "Okay" again, and then asked with a smile: "Doctor Yu, is it just the cost of shopping and eating?"
Yu Zhiming patted her outstretched hand.
"I'll reimburse you."
He added: "Only reimburse reasonable expenses. Don't go overboard."
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Yu. I won't take advantage of you too much."
"You can trust my character and integrity."
Yu Zhiming hummed twice and went to the ward area upstairs to inspect the wards.
Because the center has consciously reduced the number of new patients accepted, some patients whose conditions are stable or have almost recovered have been taken home by their children to celebrate the New Year.
This means that the number of inpatients remaining in the center is less than one-third of the original number.
If the current trend continues, it is estimated that by the Spring Festival, there will be only seven or eight hospitalized patients at most.
This is why the center can be so willful and dare to leave most of the beds empty.
Ten or twenty minutes later, Yu Zhiming returned to the big office again and found that in addition to Qing Ning who came to pick him up from get off work, Hua Sifan was also waiting for him.
"Boss Hua, it's almost the Spring Festival and everything is busy. If you have anything to say, just call me. You don't have to come in person."
Hua Sifan said with a smile: "It is because the Spring Festival is approaching that I want to come here."
"A New Year's gift expressing gratitude is essential. And let's discuss the collaborative development of vasculitis drugs."
At this time, it was past closing time.
Yu Zhiming, Qing Ning, Hua Sifan, and Zhou Mo, Yu Zhiming's assistant, once again came to the small casserole restaurant near the hospital which was still open.
The four of them asked for a private room and after ordering their food, Yu Zhiming took the agreement text handed over by President Hua and quickly looked through it.
Yu Zhiming read ten lines at a glance and noticed a few numbers.
One-time cooperation technical fee, five million.
There is also a commission. For the first five years, the commission is 5% of the total sales per year. Starting from the sixth year, it is reduced to 2%.
Yu Zhiming closed the agreement and said, "Mr. Hua, I haven't contributed much to vasculitis treatment research."
"This condition is a bit too generous."
"Then just give me two million to buy it out."
Hua Sifan was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Others complain that the conditions are too low, but you took the initiative to significantly lower the conditions for cooperation."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. My efforts in this project have paid off with a two million yuan reward, which is more than enough."
Hua Sifan said sternly, "Doctor Yu, you must never underestimate the value of your efforts."
"Let me put it this way. Without your precise and meticulous provision of treatment data to Dr. Xie, it's doubtful that Dr. Xie would be able to produce results in such a short time. It's even doubtful that he would be able to produce results at all."
He stood up, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Yu Zhiming, Qing Ning, and Zhou Mo. He then said, "Also, during the experimental stage of drug development, we still need your help, Doctor Yu."
"Frankly speaking, compared to your efforts, Doctor Yu, these terms of cooperation are not too much, but actually a bit too little."
After some back and forth, Yu Zhiming finally signed his name on the cooperation agreement provided by President Hua.
Next, it’s time to eat, drink and chat.
After more than an hour, both the host and the guests ended the dinner happily.
In front of the small restaurant, Hua Sifan moved the New Year gifts from his car to Yu Zhiming's stretcher.
A box of salted duck.
A box of pressed duck.
A small brocade screen.
One box each of Yuhua Tea and Biluochun.
Two boxes of Dendrobium officinale.
There is also a calligraphy work by Mr. Lin Sanzhi, a famous calligrapher from Jinling.
As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. Yu Zhiming opened the box and gave Zhou Mo a salted duck and a pressed duck.
Zhou Mo's eyes were almost narrowed into slits due to his happiness...
On the way back to Zijinyuan residence, Qing Ning told Yu Zhiming.
"Zhiming, President Hua asked me to tell you that when working with colleagues, don't be too honest. Be a villain first, then a gentleman. Negotiate the terms of cooperation one by one before cooperating."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Is this Doctor Xie's place?"
Qing Ning nodded gently and said, "Boss Hua didn't explain it clearly due to the confidentiality of the agreement."
"But the underlying implication is that Dr. Xie overestimated his role in the R&D project, overlooked the value of your contributions, and failed to secure benefits for you."
Qing Ning advised, "Zhi Ming, when faced with tangible and huge benefits, no one can be selfless."
"In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in similar R&D cooperation, it is necessary and necessary to be a villain first and a gentleman later."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm".
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
It’s Zhou Mo’s call.
"Doctor Yu, I just received a call from Dr. Yang Xi from the Oncology Department. She wants to meet with you for a talk."
Yu Zhiming simply replied: "Tell her that there is nothing to talk about with her, and I don't want to talk to her..."
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!!!
