Chapter 708: Doing My Best for My Hometown
At around 7:20 in the evening, Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion and met his second sister's family and his third sister's family.
To his great surprise, he also met Director Wu of the County Hospital and County Mayor Cheng from his hometown.
Yu Zhiming first touched the top of Xiaoqiao's head as she ran over and hugged his thighs, then led County Mayor Cheng and Dean Wu to the small living room on the second floor to sit down.
Qing Ning accompanied her and was responsible for pouring tea and water.
As for Xiao Qiao, her mother grabbed her collar and dragged her away...
"Doctor Yu, I'm so sorry to bother you."
After taking a seat in the small living room on the second floor, County Mayor Cheng apologized directly and frankly said, "This time, I came to Binhai to solicit investment with more than ten projects."
"To be honest, the county's economic situation is quite dire. We can't even pay civil servants and teachers. I can't sleep well all night. I'm under tremendous pressure."
"I can only come to Binhai to look for opportunities."
"However, I'm not very confident, so I can only try all sorts of treatments. I hope to get some help from you, Doctor Yu."
Yu Zhiming met County Magistrate Cheng's earnest gaze and asked directly, "How can I help?"
County Chief Cheng first glanced at Qing Ning, who sat beside Yu Zhiming, looking very ladylike and serene, elegantly brewing tea. He then said, "Ning'an Group is a very powerful large-scale industrial group, focusing on medical care, real estate, and investment."
"Doctor Yu, if it's convenient, could you introduce and arrange for me to meet with the main person in charge of Ning'an Group?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said softly, "This Sunday is Qing Ning and I's engagement party."
"County Mayor Cheng, if it's convenient for you, please come over for a drink and get to know some of the elders of the Gu family."
County Mayor Cheng chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, you and Miss Gu are a match made in heaven. On that day, I will definitely come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
"It's just that kind of occasion, it's not convenient to go into details."
County Chief Cheng accepted the tea Qing Ning offered him, thanked him again, and continued, "Doctor Yu, I'm thinking of having a practical discussion with the Gu family's Ning'an Group first."
"This cooperation is a matter of mutual consent. We both get what we need. Only if there is willingness can we continue the discussion."
After hearing what County Mayor Cheng said, Yu Zhiming knew that the county's economic situation must be quite serious and that they were not willing to wait even for two days.
He took out his cell phone, pondered for a moment, and dialed Gu Qingran.
After the call was connected, Yu Zhiming said without further ado, "My parents, County Mayor Guan Cheng, are here. He has brought some projects and is looking for cooperation."
"Can you arrange for the relevant person in charge of Ning'an Group to sit down with my hometown officials to discuss possible cooperation as soon as possible?"
Yu Zhiming added: "When I say as soon as possible, I mean the sooner the better, preferably tomorrow."
Gu Qingran said politely on the phone, "No problem. So, Zhiming, give my contact information to your parents and officials, and have them contact me so we can discuss the details first."
County Chief Cheng, who was listening clearly, had a look of joy on his face.
Yu Zhiming ended the call, first introduced Gu Qingran's identity to County Chief Cheng, and then gave Gu's mobile phone number to County Chief Cheng.
Seeing that the purpose of his visit had been achieved, County Mayor Cheng expressed his gratitude again and then said goodbye.
Yu Zhiming naturally invited him to dinner.
County Chief Cheng chuckled and said, "I'm already an uninvited guest. I'm sorry to bother you. How could I have the nerve to stay for dinner?"
"Doctor Yu, no matter what the outcome of my trip to Binhai is, before I leave, on behalf of the folks back home, I will definitely host a banquet to thank you for your contribution to my hometown."
"When the time comes, I hope Dr. Yu won't refuse."
Yu Zhiming said vaguely, "I can only try my best. As a doctor, sometimes I can't control my own time."
County Mayor Cheng expressed his understanding.
Then, Yu Zhiming and his family escorted County Mayor Cheng and Dean Wu out of the house.
While waiting for the elevator, Yu Zhiming said slowly, "County Mayor Cheng, I'm alone and powerless, so I'll do my best to contribute to the development of my hometown."
He pondered for a moment and said, "For the top ten investors in my hometown who have invested over 20 million yuan, or the top ten with the highest investments, I can provide annual health checks for them and their families for three consecutive years."
"I hope this condition can add some weight to attracting investment to my hometown."
County Mayor Cheng was delighted and expressed his gratitude profusely.
But the moment the elevator door closed, the smile on County Mayor Cheng's face immediately disappeared and turned into a look of melancholy.
Dean Wu, standing by, pretended not to notice County Mayor Cheng's change of expression and said with a look of joy, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
"County Mayor Cheng, with Dr. Yu's promise of ten places, your trip to Binhai will surely be a fruitful one."
County Mayor Cheng sighed softly, "President Wu, there's no need for your sweet talk. Liyang County has been attracting investment year after year, but there hasn't been much progress."
"This time, I'm thankful that we can actually discuss the next project."
Dean Wu chuckled and said, "County Mayor Cheng, it seems you don't fully understand the power of Doctor Yu."
"Oh, what do you mean?" asked County Chief Cheng.
Dean Wu said slowly, "This year, Huashan Hospital has received a total of 600 to 700 million in donations, while the highest donation in any year before was only a little over 100 million."
At this time, the two had reached the first floor and got out of the elevator.
County Chief Cheng realized something from Dean Wu's words, stopped, and asked for confirmation, "Is it because of Doctor Yu?"
Dean Wu nodded and said, "Huashan Hospital has a reward program: for every 500,000 yuan donated, you'll receive a spot for a physical examination with Dr. Yu."
"Because of this give-back benefit, the donations received by Huashan Hospital have skyrocketed."
"I also know that the reason it's 600 to 700 million is because Dr. Yu only has so many physical examination slots per year. If the quota limit is lifted, the figure could even be 2 billion."
County Chief Cheng began to calculate excitedly, "Investment and donation are two different things. A twenty million investment, and one for a family, for three consecutive years."
Dean Wu continued, "Is twenty million a lot? A decent, larger house in the inner ring of Binhai costs twenty or thirty million."
"Also, County Mayor Cheng, Dr. Yu has a late-stage cancer treatment program, and the cost of treating one person is three million."
"Even so, many cancer patients from well-off families can't even squeeze in with a check."
"For the rich, tens of millions are just a small amount of money. For the sake of good health, investing hundreds of millions is no problem."
County Chief Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "It seems I seriously underestimated Dr. Yu's abilities. We need to work on a new investment plan overnight..."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming and his family were already sitting around the large dining table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner together.
Yu Xinyue was the first to report back: "Old Five, I told Yang Shuang's parents to bring the child over at nine o'clock."
Yu Zhiming nodded to indicate that he understood.
My second brother-in-law Qi Bin said, "Everyone in the county is saying that the county treasury has been running out of money for a long time. Now civil servants' salaries are paid by borrowing money from the bank."
"Judging from today's situation, the rumors are probably true."
He also lamented, "With no money in the treasury, downsizing and layoffs are probably imminent."
Yu Xinyue said sarcastically, "Even if there are further reductions in staff, it won't be your turn as my newly promoted second brother-in-law."
Qi Bin chuckled and said, "I mainly benefited from Lao Wu's help..."
Just then, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It’s a call from Teacher Qi Yue.
In order not to disturb his family's meal, Yu Zhiming took his mobile phone to the living room to answer the call.
"Teacher, what's the matter?"
"Well, let me tell you first, Dr. Yang Xi has submitted an application to support the Chuncheng Provincial Hospital in Yunnan Province for one year. He will be leaving in a month at most."
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and asked, "Teacher, you know everything. Did Zhou Mo tell you?"
Qi Yue hummed again on the phone and explained, "I wanted to have a good chat with you, but the screening of young doctors needs a result as soon as possible."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Teacher, I didn't think much about it."
"Although I'm not very familiar with the ways of the world, I can still feel who is truly kind to me."
"Teacher, Dean Li, Director Yang, Doctor Wang Chunyuan, Doctor Cui Zhitan, and many others have all given me sincere help."
"Teacher, I'm not an ungrateful person."
Qi Yue smiled gratifiedly during the call and said, "You have a kind heart and your own opinions and judgments. I knew you wouldn't be easily sowed discord."
After a pause, he turned and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. Du Bing, who was at odds with you, was eliminated."
“Thank you, teacher!”
Yu Zhiming thanked him, and then he heard Qi Yue say, "Zhiming, today I received calls from several foreign medical colleagues who hope that I can take in a patient with a difficult and complicated disease from the United States."
"I still know exactly how much I weigh."
"There are still some doctors in the United States whose diagnostic skills are similar to or even better than mine."
"They're going so far as to go so far, they must be targeting you."
"Zhiming, did something happen?"
Yu Zhiming explained, "For a reason I cannot disclose, I rejected the medical consultation request of a 17-year-old American boy."
"The boy's father must have some power and said he could provide him with further training at the Mayo Clinic."
Qi Yue uttered an "oh" and didn't ask why. He simply said, "Given your current situation, it's not the right time for you to pursue further studies."
"Mayo Clinic is just like that to you. One day in the future, Mayo Clinic may invite you for a consultation or give a special lecture."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I'm waiting for that day to come."
"That day will come."
Qi Yue confirmed it and said something else, "Mr. Ke Minzhi's recovery after the operation is a bit slow."
"I heard that when Meng Fan from Ning'an was recovering, he asked the renowned Chinese medicine expert, Mr. Ye Huazhang, to diagnose his pulse and prescribe nourishing medicine for him."
"Zhiming, could you please ask Mr. Ye?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "Teacher, I can help ask, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful..."
