Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion around 1:30 p.m. and saw Qiu Lan, his elder sister Yu Zhaoxia, and Zhang Bai busy preparing for the Lantern Festival banquet in the evening.
Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan helped on the side.
"Laowu, have you had lunch?" Yu Chaoxia asked with concern.
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing to eat at home. I'll just eat something..."
In less than ten minutes, a plate of ham, shrimp and egg fried rice, a plate of braised meat platter, a plate of cold boiled spinach, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup were placed on the dining table.
Yu Zhiming took a few bites and looked at Yu Xiangwan, who was sitting next to him and staring at him with a smile on her face.
"Fourth sister, is there something on my face?"
Yu Xiangwan held his chin with one hand and smiled, "You're more than just a flower. You're the most handsome brother in the world, bar none."
Yu Zhiming snorted softly and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Let me make it clear first, I won't agree to any excessive requests."
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "I'm not asking you for anything. I want to tell you good news."
"Well, the small canteen that Xu Jin and his friends renovated from their motorcycle shop will officially open tomorrow."
Yu Zhiming said, "It's indeed good news. I'll send you a flower basket in my name to celebrate your grand opening."
Xu Jin and his team's store is somewhat similar to a franchise store, and they own 40% of the shares.
“No problem!”
Yu Xiangwan replied, then smiled and said, "Also, the small canteen we opened in the Wanda Plaza on Suhe Road is very popular, and two more Wanda Plazas have invited us to stay there."
"Not only that, Hang Lung, New World Center, and Zhenhua Commercial Building have also extended invitations to us."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Are we going to take the shopping mall route instead?"
Yu Xiangwan chuckled and said, "The shopping mall has a large customer flow and the average customer spending is higher. Zhang Bai and I have been discussing that since we have been invited, we should try opening a few stores first."
"Of course, we will not give up looking for suitable storefronts in residential and commercial areas with high traffic volume."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "The food is delicious and relatively affordable. It will be popular no matter where the restaurant is opened."
"By the way, Fourth Sister, last night, Qing Ning's father told me that the Ning'an Investment Company he manages received an analysis report on the small canteen, saying that it has investment value."
"He said that if the small canteen needs investment and financing, it can contact Ning'an Investment, and the conditions will definitely be more relaxed."
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "Old Five, Zhang Bai and I have discussed this and we will not seek financing from investment institutions unless absolutely necessary."
"Investment institutions are too greedy and eager for quick success."
"We have to take one step at a time and expand our small canteen through word of mouth from our customers."
Yu Zhiming took a sip of the seaweed soup when he heard Yu Xiangwan chuckle again, "Old Fifth, actually, we've received several different invitations."
"What's the difference?" Yu Zhiming asked casually.
Yu Xiangwan said slowly, "Several large companies such as China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Gas have invited us to build their employee cafeterias."
"They said not only is the venue free, but they also provide subsidies."
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and sighed, "These people really are good at building relationships."
"Fourth sister, do you want to run the staff cafeteria?"
Yu Xiangwan said slowly, "Zhang Bai and I both understand that the main reason these big companies invited us is because of you."
"So, the decision is yours."
"Lao Wu, if you say you will do it, we will do it. If you say you won't do it, we will reject them immediately."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Because of the hospital's donation, I can no longer explain it to them."
"There's no need to be pretentious and refuse money-making opportunities."
"Fourth sister, just accept their invitation."
Yu Zhiming did not forget to remind her, "Fourth sister, the taste, quality and affordability of this meal cannot be downgraded."
Yu Xiangwan smiled broadly and said, "Don't worry, Lao Wu. This is about the long-term development of our brand and the canteen. We won't mess around."
She continued passionately, "Old Five, now, they are inviting us because of you."
"However, we will use our absolute strength to prove to them that our presence here has earned them face and will help them gain more recognition and support from their employees."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Fourth sister, come on."
Yu Xiangwan stood up, patted Yu Zhiming on the shoulder, and said with great ambition: "Old Five, the small canteen will definitely get better and better, and in turn will become your strong backing..."
Not long after lunch, Yu Zhiming received a call from Qingning.
"Zhiming, I have news for you. Boss Ni has been diagnosed as mentally ill and lacks full civil capacity."
Yu Zhiming was so shocked that he stood up from the sofa.
Qing Ning then explained over the phone, "The company he manages held an emergency meeting and unanimously decided that his wife and son will take over all of his rights effective immediately."
Yu Zhiming asked directly, "Qing Ning, is this your brother's solution? How did he do it?"
Qing Ning replied softly, "My brother said that this was actually the intention of Boss Ni's family. After all, giving away 500 million out of 700 million in assets doesn't seem like something a normal person would do."
"In order to protect Mr. Ni's decades of hard work from being wasted, the family took the initiative to apply for a mental evaluation."
"As a result, we actually discovered that Boss Ni had serious mental problems."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming didn't know how to describe his extremely complicated feelings.
Shock? Joy? Disgust? Alertness? Self-blame?
It is easy to send a normal person to a mental hospital and prove that he is a mental patient, but it is very difficult to prove that you are a normal person.
This is not a joke, this kind of thing has happened more than once in reality.
Also, if a normal person is sent to a mental hospital and receives medication or other treatments for a period of time, there is a high probability that he or she will become mentally ill even if he or she is not already mentally ill.
Gu Qingran's method...
Yu Zhiming felt that it would be better to stay away from him in the future.
Qing Ning's words continued to come out of the phone, "My brother said that Boss Ni can no longer use funds and manpower to purchase wild ginseng or do other crazy things."
"He can only accept his fate and obediently accept the anti-cancer treatment and psychiatric treatment."
Qing Ning added, "My brother also said that this is the best solution. Compared to before, Boss Ni will receive more comprehensive and considerate care."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly.
He knew that Boss Ni would not live long.
Betrayed by his family, deprived of his rights, and certainly without freedom of personal freedom and information, it is easy to imagine what kind of physical and mental state Mr. Ni will be in when facing the next treatment.
It was obvious that his condition was deteriorating rapidly.
Originally, given Mr. Ni's physical condition, with active treatment, he could have held on for about another half a year.
Yu Zhiming estimated that the current situation would only last for one or two months, and it was not impossible that it would last even shorter.
Thinking about the cause of this incident, Yu Zhiming suddenly felt that if I didn't kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren would die because of me.
While he was daydreaming, Qingning's voice once again rang in Yu Zhiming's ears.
"Zhiming, Boss Ni's son, transferred the four wild ginsengs to the hospital."
"Doctor Wang Wu has also examined it and said he can prepare about fifty-six ginseng life-extending pills."
"My brother said that this number will definitely make you feel better."
Yu Zhiming, whose mood had indeed improved a lot, snorted softly, "Your brother is so insightful about people's hearts and human nature. He should be a psychologist instead of being the vice president in charge of administrative affairs."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "To be honest, my brother actually studied psychology when he was studying abroad."
"Sacrificing one person to save fifty-six is always a good thing."
"Besides, it wasn't us who gave it up. It was Boss Ni who did it himself. Even his wife and son, who were closest to him, couldn't stand it."
Yu Zhiming interrupted and said, "Okay, okay, Qing Ning, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I'm very strong mentally."
"I also understand that when Boss Ni's thoughts reach extremes, effective methods are needed to control his behavior."
He sighed again, "Actually, in the past few years of practicing medicine, I've seen quite a few dark and infuriating things happen to patients."
"If one day, I turn evil, don't be surprised."
Qing Ning replied seriously, "If that day ever comes, I will go dark with you."
"As long as I'm with you, I'm happy even if I go to hell with you."
Yu Zhiming was so happy that his brows relaxed. At this moment, he heard the beep of another incoming call on his mobile phone.
He ended the call with Qing Ning and answered the new call.
Zhou Mo's voice came from the phone.
"Doctor Yu, I just received a call from the Chinese father who has returned to the United States."
"He said that your medical skills have been greatly proven in his son's case, and several patients want to come to Binhai to ask you to examine their bodies and diagnose their illnesses."
"Doctor Yu, how should I reply to him?"
Yu Zhiming didn't think much about it and said, "For the time being, we won't be accepting any outside patients. We'll wait until we move to the old specimen building and everything is stable before we decide."
Zhou Mo replied on the phone: "Okay, I know how to reply to them."
After a pause, she began to complain, "Doctor Yu, I find it's really hard to be a good person."
"That mother who forced her child to lose weight scolded me on her WeChat Moments. Some of the words she used were extremely harsh and infuriating."
Yu Zhiming asked, "How did you know?"
Zhou Mo snorted, "There's someone in that guy's circle of friends who I know well, and he couldn't stand it, so he sent me some screenshots."
"My kindness was taken for granted."
Yu Zhiming comforted her, "It's normal to be misunderstood. Once she finds out you really mean well, she'll regret it."
Zhou Mo said angrily: "Doctor Yu, judging from what she said, I don't think she will really regret it."
"Some people are simply vicious and have never known what kindness is."
After a pause, Zhou Mo continued, "Doctor Yu, can you promise me that if her family asks you for help in the future, you won't agree to it?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It seems that you are really angry. Okay, I promise you."
"From now on, they are on my blacklist..."
