Chapter 772 Luck Favors the Poor
A little after nine o'clock on Sunday morning, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning, who were waiting for guests to arrive at home, received a call from the police.
The two were told that preliminary interrogation confirmed that the manager, teller and a watch repairer of the Patek Philippe counter in the Binhai Huijin Center Building collaborated to sell refurbished old watches to customers as new watches by means of substitution.
Over the past four years, the three of them have sold a total of 57 luxury watches through methods such as trade-in, making an illegal profit of four to five million yuan.
At the end of the call, Yu Zhiming asked, how is that guy now?
"He said he was still a little dizzy and nauseous, but the doctor said it was no longer a serious problem."
Last night, Yu Zhiming used all his strength and didn't hold back at all.
The result was that the counter manager, who was 1.5 times bigger than Yu Zhiming, was hit right between the eyebrows and fell backward to the ground, unconscious, without even needing a finishing blow.
Yu Zhiming found that the guy's eyebrows were covered in blood and flesh, and there was a concave radiating network of cracks in the skull between the eyebrows.
Fortunately, no signs of intracranial bleeding were found.
This made Yu Zhiming a little frightened.
This snooker ball is too lethal and can potentially kill a person with just one hit.
Need to consider lighter self-defense weapons...
"Uncle, aunt..."
Xiaoxue, who had rushed over early in the morning, waited until the police call was over before asking, bewildered, "A used luxury watch was sold as a new one for fifty-seven dollars, and no one noticed. Are all those watch buyers blind?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan, you should know that many famous watches have been used for decades or even hundreds of years, and the movements and components inside are still almost as good as new."
"It's very difficult to spot the tricks in this kind of refurbished watches unless you're a professional or an enthusiast with the help of certain observation tools."
After a pause, Qing Ning continued, "How many people who buy luxury watches nowadays truly understand them?"
"A watch of this level is usually serviced every three to five years. When it's time to go in for service, even the official service center can't find the problem."
Zeng Yan laughed and said, "Although they don't cheat the poor, it's their fault that they cheated my uncle. They deserve to be exposed."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "This is what they call 'don't stretch your hand, or you'll be caught.' You think you've done it perfectly, but maybe there are ears on the wall and eyes on the sky."
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Xiaoxue ran to open the door and found Zhou Mo outside.
Yu Zhiming saw that it was Zhou Mo who came in, and said with a smile: "You are here early, the feast is in the evening."
Zhou Mo came close to Yu Zhiming and said slowly, "I just received a notice from the hospital's oncology department that Ms. Cai's friend didn't make it."
Yu Zhiming was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "He should have followed my advice and switched to chemotherapy instead of taking the risk of CAR-T therapy."
"Good luck never favors the poor."
Qing Ning held Yu Zhiming's hand and persuaded him, "Most people would make the same choice as him."
"Many people know that once they gamble, they are more likely to lose, but they always think that luck will favor them this time."
Zhou Mo sighed, "Everyone has a gambling nature, but there are very few people who can make rational decisions."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "You two don't need to comfort me. This isn't the first time I've experienced a patient's death. I've been tempered by it for a long time and I'm not that fragile anymore."
He then asked, "Zhou Mo, do you know how Teacher Qi celebrated his birthday before?"
Zhou Mo replied, "Just have friends and family sing birthday songs together, have a big meal, and no need for gifts."
“This time…”
Zhou Mo came to his senses and said, "It's your sixtieth birthday, so it needs to be more grand. We should send a gift to express our congratulations."
"Doctor Yu, what gift are you planning to give?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "I originally wanted to give the stethoscope to the teacher as a birthday present, but now I think he definitely doesn't need it."
"The stethoscope he's using now is quite advanced."
"Zhou Mo, do you have any suggestions?"
Zhou Mo pondered and said, "The director doesn't have any special hobbies, except for his preference for wine. But Sister Shi has always forbidden the director to drink too much."
"As for luxury watches, pens, and bags, the Director has no shortage of them. However, if you, Doctor Yu, give him another luxury watch, the Director will surely be happy too."
Yu Zhiming said somewhat depressedly, "I really can't think of a better gift, so I can only give you a famous watch or something like that."
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
Xiaoxue ran to open the door again. This time, Ding Ye, Duan Yi, and a young man came.
Yu Zhiming still had some impression of this young man, the guy who played the violin at his and Qing Ning's engagement party.
"Cousin Qingxin, you and Dr. Ding?" Qingning couldn't hide her surprise.
Ding Ye said generously, "Formally introduce, Gu Qingxin, you have officially been promoted to my boyfriend."
"Hey, Dr. Yu, where are the ingredients?"
Ding Ye, Duan Yi and Gu Qingyin brought a total of five foam boxes filled with food, including a large yellow croaker weighing more than two kilograms, an Australian lobster more than half a meter long, king crabs, fist-sized abalone, Buddha's hand conch and other precious seafood.
There was also a large piece of marbled beef and four lamb legs and chops flown in from the prairie.
In addition, they brought six bottles of red wine and six bottles of white wine, the same kind that Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning drank at their engagement party.
"Doctor Ding, you've made very thorough preparations."
Ding Ye chuckled and said, "That's for sure. Doctor Yu, you've done so much for me, so I naturally can't be vague."
After the ingredients and wine were put away, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning took the three of them to visit the house.
Afterwards, they returned to the sofa in the living room to chat and drink tea.
The focus of the discussion, naturally, is how Ding Ye and Gu Qingyin came together.
Ding Ye did not hesitate and said frankly that he saw that the man played the violin well and was good-looking at the engagement party, so he took the initiative to ask for advice.
After a few interactions, they developed a mutual affection for each other.
Yu Zhiming hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Doctor Ding, have you decided on the date for your further training at the German hospital?"
Ding Ye replied, "It's confirmed. It's at the end of May. I've already booked the plane tickets."
She added: "Qingqin will accompany me to Heidelberg University Hospital and he will stay with me in Germany for a while."
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming knew that his worries were in vain.
He overlooked one point: for wealthy people, being in different places and distance have never been a problem.
At this moment, Ding Ye's voice rang in Yu Zhiming's ears again, "Doctor Yu, I would like to ask you for one more favor."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Out of caution, Yu Zhiming did not respond immediately.
Ding Ye explained softly, "Doctor Yu, I'll be going to Germany for a year for further studies, and I won't be coming back unless there are special circumstances."
"The only thing I'm worried about is my parents' health..."
Yu Zhiming understood and responded readily, "This is a small matter. Just bring your parents to the center to see me."
Ding Ye said happily, "Doctor Yu, thank you in advance."
They chatted for a while, and Gu Qingyin, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to bring up a topic.
"Doctor Yu, I work at Ning'an Pharmaceutical, and my main job is to analyze drug clinical trial data."
"I heard before that you can check if a person has potential internal organ damage caused by a drug overdose?"
Yu Zhiming frankly said, "I would only be able to detect this potential damage if it was already quite severe and about to reach a critical point, turning into a serious internal organ disease."
Gu Qingyin uttered a sigh and said, "This is also a very remarkable skill."
"Doctor Yu, you may also be aware that a considerable portion of the test subjects recruited for drug clinical trials are professional test subjects."
"They dare to take any medicine, and they take it frequently."
"I'm sure some of them have suffered serious potential damage to their internal organs."
"One day he tried a certain medicine, which became the last straw and caused internal organ disease."
"In this case, isn't it unfair to attribute all the side effects to the last experimental drug we tried?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and chuckled, "It's indeed a bit unfair to be the last one to take over the game of passing the flower."
“How do you avoid this situation?”
Gu Qingxin explained, "To ensure the trial's effectiveness isn't disrupted, we'll conduct a detailed physical examination on the participants. However, it's difficult to achieve the level of investigation you're providing, Doctor Yu."
"The best approach is to find a small local hospital that has recently been approved to conduct drug clinical trials. These hospitals generally don't have a large number of professional drug testers yet."
After a pause, Gu Qingxin continued, "There is a group of professional drug testers who make a living by conducting clinical trials of new drugs at Ning'an Hospital."
"Huashan Hospital has more professional drug testers."
Gu Qingyin sighed and said, "Because of work, I am quite familiar with some of them."
"They give me a bad feeling. I wonder if they'll take a new drug with serious side effects one day and their body will collapse."
Ding Ye took over and said, "What these professional drug testers need most is not a physical examination by Dr. Yu, but for them to decisively withdraw from drug testing and do other work, so that the problem can be solved once and for all."
Gu Qingxin shook his head and sighed, "They're used to this kind of easy, quick-paying job, so it's hard to persuade them to quit."
"Unless there's a real problem with my health and I have to quit."
Ding Ye said slowly: "There is no other way."
"If they don't take care of their own bodies, they can't expect others to help them."
Gu Qingyin smiled lightly and said nothing more.
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Ning'an Hospital, telling him that just now, a patient named Yan did not survive the CAR-T treatment.
This made Yu Zhiming feel heavy-hearted.
At Ning'an Hospital, two of the four wealthy and powerful terminally ill cancer patients who came here through Gu Qingran's connections have lost their money in gambling.
Luck no longer favors the rich.
Now it's two to two.
I wonder if Yu Zhiming can fight against God to a draw?
