It was nearly half past ten in the evening when Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion. As he expected, his elder sister and Qing Ning were still waiting for him in the living room.
It feels really good to have family waiting for you.
As Yu Zhiming was taking off his coat, his eldest sister's voice rang in his ears, "Fifth Brother, my parents and I are going back to our hometown tomorrow. The high-speed rail tickets have been booked."
Yu Zhiming was startled and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's going on? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?"
"Parents are not used to it?"
"still……"
Yu Zhaoxia interrupted and said, "Old Five, don't think too much. It's Uncle Xu from our village who is about to die."
"Dad is going back to see you off."
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised. "Uncle Xu is dying? I saw him during the Spring Festival, and he was in pretty good shape."
"Is it an accident?"
Yu Zhaoxia replied, "It was an accident. I tripped when I went out this morning, fell down three steps, and hit my head."
"He was conscious and able to explain what happened, but he fell into a coma when he was taken to the hospital."
"Your third sister said that he's being kept alive by the tube. If the tube is pulled out, he'll die."
Yu Zhiming was filled with sighs.
Uncle Xu is Yu's father's partner in weddings and funerals, and they have been friends for decades.
"Sister, how is our father feeling?"
Yu Zhaoxia sighed softly, "It's sad, for sure. We've been friends for decades. But we've seen birth, old age, sickness, and death. Uncle Xu is almost seventy, and our father seems okay. He ate a little dinner at our persuasion."
After a pause, Yu Zhaoxia reminded him, "Tomorrow morning, remember to check Dad's body."
"If you don't feel it's appropriate, don't let our dad go back."
Yu Zhiming nodded vigorously.
Yu Zhaoxia reminded him again, "Lao Wu, you've been tired all day, go wash up and go to bed early."
"I'll take care of your parents all the way, you don't have to worry..."
Arriving at the master bedroom upstairs, Qing Ning's voice rang in Yu Zhiming's ears again, "Zhiming, give Zeng Yan a call and comfort her."
"What happened to her?"
Qing Ning met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said, "After dinner, I received a call from Xiaoxue. She said Zeng Yan's final exam results were not ideal and she was feeling a little depressed."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and asked, "How did Xiaoxue do on her final exam?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "It's not very good either. They said it's more convenient to count the grades and rankings from the back."
Yu Zhiming wasn't angry at all. He said, "It's normal that their grades aren't ideal."
"Originally, their abilities weren't enough to get into Binhai Jiaotong University, so they were all admitted on an exceptional basis."
As he spoke, Yu Zhiming took out his cell phone, found Zeng Yan's number and dialed it.
The call was quickly connected, and Zeng Yan's timid voice came, "Uncle, do you know everything?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "I know your grades aren't ideal, but I didn't know how unsatisfactory they were."
"Failed the exam?"
"I didn't fail any courses, but my overall score was last. Not only was I last in my clinical program, but I was also last in my freshman year at the college."
"Uncle, I'm embarrassing you, wuwu..."
Hearing Zeng Yan crying quietly on the phone, Yu Zhiming criticized her, "Why are you crying?"
"For you, not failing the exam is a victory. You should be happy for yourself."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming heard the little girl stop crying, and then continued to persuade: "Zeng Yan, you should know that Binhai Jiaotong University is a nationally renowned university. It recruits top students from all over the country."
"Those who can get into medical school are the best among the best."
"Your foundation isn't as good as theirs, and you started school a month or two later than them. Isn't it natural that you ranked last in the exam?"
Zeng Yan whispered on the phone, "I originally thought that even if my grades were lagging behind, I wouldn't be last."
“I studied very hard.”
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "You are working hard, and your classmates are not standing still either, are they?"
"Zeng Yan, I've told you more than once that studying medicine is like a long marathon. Don't worry about your ranking. As long as you run to the finish line successfully, you are the winner."
Zeng Yan's voice came from the phone again.
"Uncle, actually, I also know this truth. The counselor also advised me in this way. I just feel that I have failed your expectations and lost your face."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "What's so shameful about this? It takes at least ten years to become a qualified doctor."
"This is just the first step in a long journey."
“The final success is the real success.”
Zeng Yan's voice became much more relaxed. "Uncle, I will keep working hard and keep working hard. One day, I will make you proud of me."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I look forward to that day."
Zeng Yan then said, "Uncle, Ning'an Hospital is holding a recruitment seminar at the college tonight."
"The promotional video featured a lot of you, and people were asking me, 'Uncle, aren't you working at Huashan Hospital? Why did you end up working at Ning'an Hospital?'"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "This must be a deliberate misleading attempt by Ning'an Hospital to capitalize on my fame."
Zeng Yan chuckled, "That's what I told others, too. However, Ning'an Hospital's famous doctor training program has received a lot of attention. Even us juniors are excited about it."
Yu Zhiming said proudly, "Zeng Yan, as long as you graduate successfully, I will arrange for you to join the famous doctor training program that your classmates are so excited about."
"This is the benefit of having me as your uncle. All kinds of resources will be arranged for you first."
Zeng Yan giggled and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"Hey, uncle, I should be considered the second-generation doctor with the most profound background among my classmates, right?"
"Of course, this is certain and certain..."
After finishing the call with Zeng Yan, Yu Zhiming went into the bathroom and started washing up with Qing Ning by his side.
Qing Ning squeezed toothpaste for Yu Zhiming and said, "My mother represents the Gu family in the Chen Ying Foundation's charity auction every year."
"My mom said that your medical examination opportunity is up for auction. Do you want her to raise the price for you?"
Yu Zhiming stopped brushing his teeth and said vaguely, "No, it should be able to be filmed smoothly."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Zhi Ming, you probably don't know this, right? A large portion of the items sold at charity auctions are bought by the donors themselves."
Yu Zhiming blinked and looked at Qingning inquiringly.
"Hehe, my mom told me that our family has donated small-leaf red sandalwood walking sticks for five consecutive years, and we bought them back ourselves."
Qing Ning further explained, "After all, this is a charity auction. If the items I donated failed to sell, it would be so embarrassing in front of everyone."
"So, if no one bids at first, or the bid is too low, the donor will come up with a suitable price themselves."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Qing Ning continued, "Even if there are bidders at this kind of auction, it won't be too intense. It usually ends after three or five rounds."
After rinsing his mouth, Yu Zhiming asked, "Will there be any good items at this kind of auction?"
Qing Ning shook her head and said, "They are all donated items. There are almost no real fine products."
"Of course, the item can't be bad. It has to be worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, or have a certain commemorative value or collection value. After all, this involves the donor's reputation."
Qing Ning continued, "A charity auction like this may be called an auction, but in reality, it's just like each household buying an item at a suitable price based on their social and economic status."
Yu Zhiming began to understand and said, "In situations like this, we can't just show our love as we please."
"The eldest donates one million, and the second can only donate less, not more."
Qing Ning smiled and said, "That's about it. Seniority is everywhere. If you act out of line, you're bound to be criticized."
Yu Zhiming asked again: "Should I also bid for an item at the auction?"
Qing Ning smiled and said, "The medical examination opportunity you donated will definitely be auctioned off. This is equivalent to your donation, so you don't need to buy an item to show your appreciation."
"Of course, if you find an item you like and bid for it, the organizer will be even happier."
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and was surprised to find that it was Hua Sifan calling.
"Boss Hua, what's going on?"
"Doctor Yu, I'm happy to tell you that the narcolepsy wake-up device has finally been finalized and is ready for mass production."
Yu Zhiming happily replied: "This is good news."
Hua Sifan smiled during the call and said, "It's indeed good news, and the feedback we've received from the trials is very good."
"According to this progress, it will be officially launched into the market and sold in April."
After a pause, Hua Sifan suddenly asked, "Doctor Yu, Geng Ruoqing and I are together. Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
this……
Yu Zhiming thought that this matter had been taken over by Gu Qingran, and quickly replied: "No, there is nothing to say."
"Boss Hua, I am only happy and wish you the best of luck in finding your other half, just like Dean Gu."
Hua Sifan chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, when you heard me talk about the expression I showed when Geng Ruoqing and I were together, it didn't look like happiness or blessing at all."
He added in a deep voice, "Doctor Yu, I've known her for many years and know a lot about her."
"That said, she's a hardworking, intelligent, self-reliant woman, and quite outstanding."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but wonder, is your understanding true?
Or did she make you think so?
Hua Sifan's voice continued to come from the phone, "Doctor Yu, I have known her for many years. I believe that my eyes and judgment will not be wrong."
"It's an honor to be with her."
Having said that, Yu Zhiming couldn't bring himself to say anything bad about Geng Ruoqing anymore. Hua Sifan probably wouldn't believe it even if he did.
Yu Zhiming said vaguely: "Mr. Hua, I sincerely hope that your judgment is correct..."
