Among the many parks in Binhai, Zhongshan Park is not very large in area, but it has a very long history, leaving behind many landscapes and buildings with many allusions and footprints of celebrities.
Moonlight over the Lotus Pond is a very famous scene in Zhongshan Park.
The three-story antique building Heyue Tower is built on this landscape, on the south side of the lakeside covered by trees covering thousands of square meters.
It’s just that it’s winter now and the plants are dormant. There are no lotus leaves or flowers on the lake. It’s also broad daylight and the sun is shining brightly, so we can’t see the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond under the moonlight.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhiming and his group of more than twenty people got off the bus and entered Heyue Tower...
"Wow, so cute, what a great image."
"Uncle, uncle, come and see."
Hearing Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan's shouting, Yu Zhiming, who was lagging behind, took two quick steps.
At the same time, the onlookers in front also made way for one person to pass through.
The scene he saw made Yu Zhiming grin.
Next to the stairs leading to the second floor, there was a sign more than one meter tall that said "Please go to the second floor".
There are two Q-version cartoon characters painted on the sign.
The man was wearing a white coat and had short legs. He had a cold and arrogant expression on his face, like a master.
The woman was wearing a princess dress and small leather shoes, but she had a bold expression on her face, grinning from ear to ear.
Yu Zhiming could tell at a glance from her facial features that she looked exactly like Qing Ning, who was very proud.
Xiaoxue pulled Yu Zhiming's arm and said with a chuckle, "Uncle, uncle, look, the picture shows you exactly like when you have a cold face and ignore people."
Yu Zhiming retorted, "How could I have such a cold expression? I'm usually quite kind."
Zhou Mo, who was standing by, said unceremoniously, "Doctor Yu, you're always like this. People who don't know you don't dare to say hello to you."
Yu Xiangwan also laughed and said, "The guy who drew this portrait is really amazing. He captured your and Qing Ning's facial features and expressions very well."
"Anyone who knows you two won't make a mistake."
She chuckled again, "I'll ask Qing Ning who drew this cartoon later, and ask him to design one for me and Zhang Bai."
Yu Zhiming urged, "Alright, alright, don't get stuck here, hurry up and go upstairs..."
Everyone walked into the second floor one after another and saw a long mahogany carved screen that was staggered on both sides to allow guests to pass through in a zigzag manner, blocking the banquet hall behind.
In front of the screen, there are two sign-in tables on the left and right.
Behind the sign-in desk on the left, there's a tall male Q-version cartoon. Behind the sign-in desk on the right, there's a female Q-version cartoon.
Zhou Mo volunteered, "Doctor Yu, most of the guests coming today are colleagues from the hospital. Let me help greet them."
Yu Zhiming thought about it and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You can take turns with Xiaobo, Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan and the others."
He also reminded: "Don't accept red envelopes and gifts..."
Next, Yu Zhiming, his family, Mr. Hua, Zhou Hao and others went to the third floor and followed the waiter into a large private room with a separate bathroom.
This private room is more than 30 square meters in size and has been arranged as a reception room, which can accommodate more than 20 people at the same time.
At the same time, a small changing area was separated by a screen in the corner of the private room.
Seeing that it was still early, Yu Zhiming was just about to sit down and have some tea and chat with Mr. Hua, Geng Ruoqing, Zhou Hao and others when he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside.
"The Gu family is here."
Yu Zhiming gave a reminder and went out first to greet them.
As soon as he came out of the private room, he saw the man walking in front of him, supporting the old man, who was wearing a small Chinese-style dress and had a bright and eye-catching green lemon.
"Zhi Ming!"
"Lime!"
After simply greeting Qing Ning, who had a smile on her face, Yu Zhiming quickly stepped forward to call for help.
"Grandpa, grandma, third grandpa, third grandma..."
After politely calling out to all the elders of the Gu family who came with him, Yu Zhiming was busy introducing the family members who came with him one by one.
Next, there are warm greetings from the relatives of the bride and groom.
Yu Zhiming seized an opportunity and dragged Gu Qingran to a secluded place in the corridor.
"What's going on between President Hua and Geng Ruoqing?"
"The two of them?"
Gu Qingran said with a casual smile, "The three of us knew each other when we were in New York. After all, we are all from the same hometown."
"At that time, I didn't have much contact with Geng Ruoqing."
"Hua Sifan has had a lot of contact with her."
"During this Spring Festival, Hua Sifan found out that Geng Ruoqing had returned to China, and he contacted her again."
"It's normal for them to become boyfriend and girlfriend so quickly."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "We knew each other before. Now one of us is in his forties and the other is in his thirties. If we feel it's a good match, we should be together. We can't just be like young people in their early twenties and keep dating for a year or two."
Yu Zhiming lowered his voice and said, "It's too hasty to be together like this, isn't it?"
"From what I know, Geng Ruoqing's father's death was not simple. It is possible that she secretly planned and directed it."
Gu Qingran's expression immediately became serious.
"Zhiming, is this true?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "It's just a suspicion. There's no concrete evidence, and the police are still investigating."
Gu Qingran narrowed his eyes and recalled, "All I know is that Geng Ruoqing went to high school and college in the United States, and then stayed in the United States."
"I vaguely remember that her mother went to the United States five or six years ago and lived with her."
"It seems that her mother passed away more than two years ago."
"As for the cause of death?"
Gu Qingran thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember. I'm not familiar with it. I didn't pay attention to it at the time."
After a pause, Gu Qingran met Yu Zhiming's gaze and solemnly warned him, "Zhiming, don't worry about this matter anymore, and don't tell Hua Sifan about it."
"Leave everything to me."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm".
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "Zhiming, let me tell you something. Those Germans who came to investigate already know of your existence."
"However, they obviously think we've greatly exaggerated your abilities and want to meet you in person to see for themselves."
"Don't bother with them for now, just let them air out!"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "I'm very busy now and don't have time to deal with them..."
At this moment, he noticed that someone seemed to be staring at him intently.
Following my feeling, I turned my head to look.
At the stairs, Zeng Yan was standing there with a slightly plump and charming middle-aged woman.
Yu Zhiming was stunned for a moment, but still walked over.
“You’re here!”
The middle-aged woman looked at Yu Zhiming and chuckled as she said, "Well, I've been sitting around at home with nothing to do. It's pretty boring, and mainly because I miss my daughter."
"I flew over here. First, to see my daughter, and second, to congratulate you on your engagement."
"Thank you for your congratulations."
Yu Zhiming thanked him and said, "Wait a moment."
He walked between his family and the Gu family, and reached out to pull Qing Ning, who was talking to the families on both sides, out.
Coming up to the middle-aged woman, Yu Zhiming introduced her, "Qing Ning, this is my eldest brother-in-law's sister, Zeng Yan's mother. She flew here from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to congratulate us on our engagement today."
After a pause, he said to the middle-aged woman, "This is Gu Qingning, my fiancée."
Zeng Yan's mother, Fu Chunhua, had a smile on her face from the inside out and she took Qingning's hand affectionately.
"I often hear about you from my daughter. Seeing you today, you are really a beautiful girl with good features and good looks."
"You and Zhiming are a match made in heaven. I wish you two a long and happy life together."
Qing Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing, sister."
"Sister, you've come a long way, you must be tired, right? Come sit down in the private room and have a cup of tea..."
As the families on both sides returned to the private rooms, the corridor quickly became deserted and quiet.
Yu Zhiming, who was still staying in the corridor, calmed down for a while before returning to the private room where the Yu family was. He saw Fu Chunhua sitting together and talking with Yu's mother, eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law.
Qing Ning came over with a painting tube containing the calligraphy work "Match Made in Heaven" and shook hands with Yu Zhiming.
"I'm going over there."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and couldn't help asking, "What about the Q-version cartoon portrait?"
Qing Ning's eyebrows curved like the moon as she asked, "Do you like it? I hired a very famous illustrator and cartoonist to design it."
"According to him, in order to accurately capture the essence of your facial features, he not only studied your image data, but also went to the hospital to secretly observe you for two or three days."
Yu Zhiming said in disbelief: "Watch me secretly for two or three days, I will definitely find out."
"He said that just to raise the price."
“Not cheap, is it?”
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "A complete set of cartoon designs, including all copyrights, a total of ten W."
"I think it's worth it, hehe."
Yu Zhiming grinned and warned, "Don't tell the truth to my parents, just say... 6,000 yuan."
Qing Ning responded obediently, squeezed Yu Zhiming's hand, and went to the private room next door.
Just then, Xiaoxue led Luo Ying, Luo Qing, Xu Jin, and Jiang Feng into the private room.
Yu Zhiming went to meet them and asked, "You guys are busy taking care of the canteen, why are you here?"
Xu Jin said loudly, "Today is your big day, Dr. Yu. No matter how busy we are, we have to come and congratulate you."
Luo Qing also continued, "Without Doctor Yu, I wouldn't be where I am today. Although my ability is limited, coming over to congratulate you is essential."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"
"Since you're here, stay a little longer. Be sure to have a drink and a feast before leaving."
Xu Jin chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, it's lunchtime in the cafeteria, and everyone is busy."
"We can't stay outside any longer. We just want to congratulate you and then go back immediately."
At this time, Luo Ying took out a heavy small brocade box from her bag and handed it to Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, this is a gift we bought together. It's a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
Yu Zhiming politely declined, "You should have heard that I will not accept any gifts or red envelopes at this engagement party."
Xu Jin said, "Doctor Yu, you may not accept gifts from others, but you must accept gifts from us."
"We cannot express our gratitude for all your kindness. We just want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude..."
After some refusing and pushing, Yu Zhiming finally accepted their enthusiastic gifts.
They were two kissing little kids made of gold, and Yu Zhiming estimated that they weighed about two hundred grams.
When seeing them off, Yu Zhiming noticed that Jiang Feng was limping.
"Jiang Feng, what's wrong with your leg?"
Jiang Feng waved his hand and said, "Yesterday, I was delivering food on a motorcycle and fell while trying to avoid a running child."
"It's okay, the pain will go away in two days."
Yu Zhiming knew that these people were riding motorcycles very fast.
An accidental fall can cause minor or serious problems.
"Jiang Feng, I have some time now. Lie down and I'll give you a simple checkup."
Jiang Feng refused: "It's not appropriate today..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
When Jiang Feng heard Yu Zhiming say this, he obediently took off his long coat, revealing a tight-fitting outfit.
I have to say that Jiang Feng rides a motorcycle all year round. Although he is a little tanned, his body is still very good.
Xiao Bo, who was standing by, quickly stood up and started yelling at the little guys sitting next to him.
"Come, come, come here and lie down."
Jiang Feng smiled at him and went to lie down on the sofa next to Xiao Bo.
Yu Zhiming examined Jiang Feng from head to toe.
"You are quite patient."
"Not to mention the multiple bruises, the hip sprain is pretty severe, and there are also two dislocated vertebrae and a rib."
"The most important thing is that you have two bones in the latent fracture stage. If you don't pay attention, they will develop into real fractures..."
