Chapter 771 I’ll Take Your Life First
When leaving Licorice Hall, every guest who came to congratulate was given a beautiful gift box.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the bed truck, Qing Ning opened the gift box and found four gifts inside.
A box of deer antler slices, a box of American ginseng slices, a box of donkey-hide gelatin, and three small bottles of exquisitely shaped incense.
Qing Ning looked at the three kinds of incense carefully.
One bottle is a car incense for refreshing the mind, one bottle is a bedroom incense for quiet sleep, and the other small bottle is a wearable outdoor mosquito and insect repellent incense.
Qing Ning looked through the instructions of the incense, which said that these three types of incense were produced by Baicaotang using natural raw materials and medicinal herbs, and were non-toxic and harmless to the human body.
She unscrewed the car incense, sniffed it gently, and could smell the distinct mint scent.
"Is Baicaotang planning to enter the incense market?"
Qing Ning took another deep breath, nodded, and said, "It smells very nice, fresh and elegant."
She picked up the mosquito repellent incense again and said with a smile, "I really hope that their mosquito repellent incense works. When I go out to play in the summer, I won't be afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes."
Yu Zhiming, who was driving, also echoed, "Summer mosquitoes and other small insects are really annoying."
Qing Ning repacked the gift box and said with a smile, "Zhi Ming, let's make a deal. From now on until we get home tonight, we'll just eat, drink and have fun. No work talk."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Just eat, drink and have fun. Also, I'll buy you anything you want."
"We have money, so we are so generous and willful."
Qing Ning's eyes sparkled with joy, and every pore on her face was laughing...
At this moment, Qi Yue, who was hosting a family dinner at home to entertain Qiao Lei and his new wife, also ended his lunch.
Qi Xiaopang ran back to his room and went to play.
Shi Xinyan went to Qiao Lei's live broadcast room with his wife, with whom they had a common language, to discuss the topics of live broadcasting and selling goods.
Qi Yue, sitting on the sofa in the living room, made tea while glancing at the complacent Qiao Lei.
"Qiao Lei, now that you've resigned from the hospital, are you going to work with your wife next?"
"Any other ideas?"
Qiao Lei chuckled and said, "The company has over 40 contracted anchors, technical staff, and support staff such as finance, administration, and logistics. My wife said that management is a bit overwhelming, so she asked me to take charge of the company management."
This answer made Qi Yue frown.
You can't even handle your relationship with the mild-tempered Yu Zhiming, and you expect to manage a company of dozens of people?
Qiao Lei guessed what Qi Yue was thinking and explained, "Uncle, it's not that I can't get along well with Dr. Yu, it's that we have a grudge against each other, and I don't want to cater to him anymore."
After a pause, he said bluntly, "Now that I've left the hospital, I can say whatever I want."
"Uncle, in my opinion, Dr. Yu is too focused on money. Making money is his first goal, and he doesn't put his duty as a doctor, curing illnesses and saving lives, first in his heart."
When Qi Yue heard him say this, he knew that this guy's mentality was seriously misplaced. He always looked at the problem from the patient's perspective and did not look at the problem from the doctor's perspective.
He sighed inwardly.
As relatives from my hometown, we hosted this young couple today, which was a face-saving thing.
I wish him all the best in the future...
After another hour of perfunctory talk, Qiao Lei finally said goodbye and left the Qi family with his new wife.
After sending the person away, Qi Yue returned home and asked his wife Shi Xinyan, "What do you think of him?"
Shi Xinyan pondered and said, "He is a smart and capable person. Qiao Lei must either be outstanding in ability or be willing to be a housewife. Otherwise, life will not be easy for him."
Qi Yue chuckled and said, "No matter how bitter or sweet the road you choose is, you have to swallow it yourself."
After a pause, he asked with concern, "You've been busy all morning, go and have a rest. Don't you have a live broadcast tonight?"
"I'll go back to the study and study the case again."
"Hey, wait a moment." Shi Xinyan called Qi Yue, went back to the bedroom, and took out a bank card.
"I've redeemed all the money I had in my wealth management and stock markets. There's 3.87 million in this card. You can use it to pay off that guy's debt."
Qi Yue was slightly startled and said, "Didn't we agree on this? You keep all the money you earn."
"I have already filled most of the hole left by Qi Zhen. I can pay back the rest slowly."
"Besides, it's not your responsibility to patch up his holes."
Shi Xinyan stuffed the bank card into Qi Yue's hand and said, "I just feel sorry for my husband. He stays up late every day to study cases and make money. I don't want Xiaopang to be without a father at such a young age."
She smiled again and said, "You helped my family a lot before. Now that I can make money, you should give back to me."
"I also learned that Xiangwan Canteen and Wangji Medicinal Cuisine are both doing very well. That two million investment might become twenty million in a year."
"Just consider it as investment dividends, giving it to you in advance."
These words made the sixty-year-old man, who had experienced many ups and downs, feel a little sad.
"Xinyan, I...I...thank you."
Shi Xinyan chuckled and said, "We are husband and wife, we should face everything together. I was wary before and I made everything clear with you."
"But after ten years of marriage, I've come to understand that you're not the kind of person who would let those around you suffer."
The next moment, she turned and asked, "Old Qi, your sixtieth birthday will be coming soon."
"How do you want to live..."
Around 2:00 p.m., Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning drove to Pujiang River and boarded a luxury cruise ship to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.
The cruise ship carries tourists to the estuary and then returns, and the round trip takes two or three hours.
After getting off the cruise ship, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning walked on the street for more than half an hour and came to a well-known private restaurant, where they had a delicious and sumptuous dinner together.
Next, the two drove to the Binhai IFC shopping mall.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning walked into this magnificent shopping mall famous for its luxury goods, feeling a little emotional.
This was the first time that Yu Zhiming had entered a shopping mall of this type. He did not have the ability, time or opportunity to do so before.
"Lime, what do you want to buy?"
Qing Ning thought for a moment and said, "Next month is my mother's birthday. Now that my father's incident has happened, I decided to buy her a nice gift. I feel sorry for her."
"Zhiming, what do you want to buy?"
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of birthdays, my family doesn't need such extravagant gifts."
"It's Teacher Qi's sixtieth birthday soon, and he needs a decent gift."
"Let's take a look together..."
The two looked here and there, and at the Patek Philippe counter, Qing Ning fell in love with a classic ruby-studded ladies' watch, which cost more than 760,000 yuan.
To be honest, this price made Yu Zhiming grin secretly, but he had made an agreement beforehand, and after some psychological preparation, he had the ability to do it, so he generously told the teller that he had packed it and took out his wallet.
Qing Ning stopped him from opening his wallet and said with a happy smile, "This is a birthday present I bought for my mother. How can I let you pay for it?"
Yu Zhiming insisted, "I've already said that all your expenses today will be paid for by me."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "The money I used to buy this watch came from that bonus. That bonus came because of you, so strictly speaking, it was you who paid for it."
Yu Zhiming thought it made sense, so he didn't insist.
Qing Ning paid the bill and the teller packed the watch.
Yu Zhiming reached out and took the gift box containing the watch from the beautiful female teller, but his brows slightly frowned.
At that moment, he opened the gift box again and took the small box containing the watch in his hand.
Yu Zhiming took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera function, and handed it to Qingning to take the picture.
He looked up at the pretty female teller who was still smiling charmingly, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you absolutely sure that the watch inside is the one we just picked out?"
The pretty female teller was slightly startled, then smiled and asked, "Dear customer, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"What's in here is, of course, the watch you just picked out."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Since you said so, it's easy."
He placed the small box on the counter and said loudly, "Qingning, call the police, check the surveillance, and check the meter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pretty teller's face changed drastically and she reached out to grab the watch box back.
She stretched out her hand halfway, but under Yu Zhiming's gaze, she pulled it back.
Qing Ning said with disdain, "You're going to take it back and switch it? There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the mall. Are you trying to leave more evidence?"
Not long after Qing Ning called the police, the Patek Philippe counter manager arrived after receiving a notification from the teller.
Soon after, the police arrived.
Yu Zhiming was surprised by the speed of the police response.
The next moment, a person in charge from the management of the IFC Mall also came.
Several parties checked the surveillance videos from various angles together and found that the teller had swapped the watch selected by Qing Ning with a watch he had hidden in his sleeve.
With the evidence irrefutable, the pale-faced teller was handcuffed, and the two watches were taken away by the police as evidence for inspection...
More than ten minutes later, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning left the shopping mall with the 20,000 yuan vouchers given by the shopping mall.
Qing Ning waved the voucher in her hand and said happily, "It's very likely that we can get a refund of one and get three. We will be rich again."
"Zhiming, did you determine the packet swap based on the sound?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "The sound of a mechanical watch is like the sound of a human voice; each is different."
"It's easy for me to hear the difference..."
The two men came to the underground parking lot, walked to the truck, opened the door and were about to get in when they heard someone shouting.
"Wait a moment, please wait a moment..."
The Patek Philippe counter manager came running over.
This is a man of about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, about 1.85 meters tall, and quite masculine.
"Stop, don't come forward."
Qing Ning stopped the counter manager who was about six or seven meters away and warned him, "Whatever it is, just stand there and talk."
The counter manager explained, "I just received a call from my boss. Please don't post this online until the matter is fully investigated..."
As he spoke, the man walked two or three meters closer.
Qing Ning said sternly, "Stop! If you come any closer, I'll call the police..."
"Go call the police."
The counter manager pulled out a nearly one-foot-long fruit knife from his waist, with a ferocious look on his face, and slowly approached.
"My life has been ruined by you."
"I worked hard for more than ten years and finally bought a house in Binhai. My girlfriend and I are planning to get married in June."
"Now it's all been destroyed by you."
"If you want to force me to death, I will take your lives first."
The counter manager was determined to kill them, but unexpectedly found that the two people in front of him didn't seem to be afraid and didn't run away.
Is this because he was scared silly?
While the store manager was puzzled, he saw a red sphere suddenly approaching and rapidly growing in size before his eyes...
