Chapter 823: Fresh in Memory
Inside the exquisite box, in addition to a dazzling men's watch, there are also official documents and invoices.
Xiang Tao, Pan Rong, Qi Zhen, Qi Wei and their husbands all came over and admired the famous watches with eager eyes.
Qi Yue took the invoice handed over by Qi Xin, took a look at the number of more than 570,000 on it, and then turned his gaze to Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning.
"Zhiming, Qingning, I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
Yu Zhiming explained: “Teacher, the invoice is an invoice, but we didn’t actually spend any money.”
"There was an unexpected incident at the time, and Patek Philippe officially refunded us three times the amount."
"This watch is also part of their apology."
Because of the confidentiality agreement and Yu Zhiming's unwillingness to let others know what happened that night, only a few people knew what happened that night.
Qi Yue insisted, "Even if you got this watch for free, its value has not changed. To me, it is a gift worth nearly 600,000 yuan."
"It's too valuable. You should take it back."
Yu Zhiming said sincerely, "Teacher, this is your 60th birthday, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You are also my teacher, and I owe my current position to you."
"Also, you know my income, teacher."
He added with a hint of arrogance, "Teacher, think about it this way. If we give you a sixtieth birthday gift that's worth only a fraction of your salary, is that considered expensive?"
Qi Yue laughed.
"It's only been a short time, and you've become so eloquent."
"Indeed, if you earn 100 and give away 50, or earn 1 million and give away 100,000, the feelings of the giver and the receiver are very different."
Qi Yue said with a smile on his face: "Since you said so, I will accept it with embarrassment."
"Dad, I'll put it on for you."
Qi Xin carefully put the watch on Qi Yue's left hand and praised: "A famous doctor and a famous watch, a perfect match!"
She looked at Yu Zhiming's hands again and asked curiously, "Brother Zhiming, what watch do you usually wear?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "I often use both hands to examine patients, and wearing a watch will affect my work."
Qi Xin said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Qi Wei couldn't help but ask, "This watch is worth nearly 600,000 yuan, and it's only a fraction of my salary."
"I just don't know if this fraction is based on annual salary or monthly salary?"
Qi Yue glanced at his eldest daughter and said, "Don't be jealous. I'll tell you, it's only a fraction of Zhiming's monthly salary."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene couldn't help but take a breath.
Qi Wei's husband exclaimed in surprise: "It's just a fraction of the monthly salary?! It's several million a month, so wouldn't it be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year?"
"Many listed companies can't earn that much in a year, right? Huashan Hospital is the only one that's big. A smaller hospital wouldn't even be able to pay salaries."
Yu Zhiming smiled lightly and said nothing.
Qing Ning couldn't help but defend him, saying, "My Zhiming doesn't need the hospital to support him. On the contrary, Zhiming brings a lot of revenue and profits to the hospital."
"It is because of Zhiming that Huashan Hospital has received more than 400 million yuan in donations from businesses, institutions and society compared to previous years."
"Several key medical research projects related to Zhiming receive funding from the government and businesses, with preliminary estimates of no less than 500 million yuan annually."
"As for curing illnesses and saving lives, the cost of treating a terminal cancer patient is three million."
"This is just the domestic preferential price."
"For patients from abroad, the starting price is often one million euros or 200 million yen."
"Even with this fee standard, there are still restrictions on the number of people who can come. It's not just about having money that can get treatment."
These words made several people in the living room a little stunned, and they looked at Qi Yue for confirmation.
Qi Yue nodded slightly and said, "Qing Ning is not exaggerating. It's mainly because Zhiming's time and energy are limited. If he is focused on making money, it is not impossible for him to make 100 million a month."
His gaze swept across Qi Zhen, whose expression was complicated, and passed over his eldest daughter and son-in-law, whose eyes sparkled. He then glanced at Pan Rong, who looked envious, and Xiang Tao, who was secretly working hard. He said slowly, "When your abilities reach the top in a certain field and you are irreplaceable, making money becomes just a matter of changing numbers."
"You don't have Zhiming's talent or perseverance, so just be down-to-earth and do your job well. If you learn and accumulate knowledge every day, you may be able to achieve success in the future."
"Yes, Dad!" Qi Xin, Xiang Tao, Pan Rong, Qi Wei and her husband all responded one after another.
After this episode, the opening of gifts continued.
Most of the gifts were sent by doctors who had received Qi Yue's instruction and were now working in other places.
Some were sent by Qi Yue’s old friends.
The gifts are varied, including calligraphy and paintings, artworks, high-end nutritional supplements and food ingredients, high-end leather goods and clothing accessories, electronic products, etc.
Each gift looked like a valuable fine product, piled high on the coffee table.
Qi Yue noticed that his youngest daughter Qi Xin was staring eagerly at a newly launched foldable phone on the coffee table.
He chuckled and said, "Although these gifts are given to me, I can't use so many by myself."
"You can all choose one you like."
Qi Yue emphasized again, "Zhiming and Qingning, you also choose one each!"
At this time, Qi Yue's cell phone rang.
Qi Xiaopang took the phone obediently.
Qi Yue took the phone, looked at the caller ID, stood up and explained: "It's my colleagues and friends from my previous unit. They must be here to congratulate me on my birthday."
He took his cell phone and went to the study to answer it, leaving a group of people looking eagerly at the gifts piled on the coffee table.
However, no one took the initiative to take it.
Shi Xinyan chuckled softly and said, "Zhiming and Qingning choose first, and then we can choose gifts in order from youngest to oldest."
Yu Zhiming declined at first, but then he was not too enthusiastic and just picked a can of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder at random.
Qing Ning chose a box of deer whip.
Yu Zhiming immediately noticed the meaningful looks Pan Rong and Qi Wei were giving him, and objected, "Why choose it?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "I didn't choose it for you, I chose it for my dad. My mom's birthday is coming soon."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you think the teacher needs this gift more?"
Shi Xinyan quickly explained: "No, no, Old Qi doesn't need this yet."
Qing Ning put the deer whip back and picked up a mammoth ivory pen holder ornament.
"I didn't think it through, hehe..."
Shi Xinyan's face turned a little red, and she didn't want to dwell on the gift anymore, so she pushed her son beside her.
"Hurry and choose one."
Qi Xiaopang reached for the ultra-thin convertible laptop while glancing at Shi Xinyan.
Seeing that Shi Xinyan had no objection, he quickly held the laptop in his arms.
Qi Xin didn't need anyone to urge him. He quickly picked up the foldable phone with a satisfied smile on his face.
Next, Qi Zhen, Qi Wei and her husband, Xiang Tao, and Pan Rong each chose a gift.
Seeing that everyone had chosen their gifts, Shi Xinyan stood up and prepared to tidy up the coffee table.
However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and her body couldn't help shaking.
Pan Rong, who was standing by, subconsciously reached out to support her.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
The next moment, Shi Xinyan regained her composure and stood firmly. She quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm probably a little tired from being busy with Lao Qi's birthday party these past two days."
Seeing this opportunity to show off, Yu Zhiming also actively said, "Master's wife, let me check your body. At your age, you should have regular checkups."
This made Shi Xinyan a little depressed.
My age?
Although she is over 35 years old, she has always claimed to be 27 years old due to proper maintenance and fitness.
However, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to let Yu Zhiming check her, so she lay down on the sofa.
Yu Zhiming put on the medical gloves he carried with him and checked Shi Xinyan's brain first. There was no problem.
Cardiopulmonary, no problem...
There is a problem with the abdominal cavity...
"Master's wife, you are pregnant, about two weeks."
What? Pregnancy?
Shi Xinyan sat up and retorted without thinking, "It's impossible to be pregnant. We have all taken protective measures. Nothing has happened in all these years."
"How could something go wrong at this time?"
"Zhiming, you didn't check it wrong, did you?"
Yu Zhiming echoed, "It's possible that I'm wrong, Master's wife. You should go to the hospital for another checkup tomorrow."
At this moment, Qi Yue, who had just left the study, heard the second half of the sentence and asked, "What kind of examination do you want?"
Then he noticed that his son, daughter-in-law, and daughter were all looking at his wife on the sofa with complicated expressions.
"Xinyan, are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Xin couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Dad, your wife is pregnant. Brother Zhiming just found out and he said she's been pregnant for two weeks."
What? Pregnancy?
Qi Yue was stunned immediately.
My 60th birthday, my wife is pregnant, this... this...
Qi Yue didn't know how to describe his expression for a moment.
He looked at Yu Zhiming and asked, "Are you sure?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Sure!"
He added: "There is a possibility of a wrongful conviction, but it's very small. We can go to the hospital tomorrow to confirm it."
Qi Yue said dully, "No need to confirm. You didn't even make a mistake in the cancer diagnosis, let alone something like pregnancy."
"Xinyan, we are going to have our second child."
Qi Yue thought of something else and looked at Yu Zhiming and said, "Zhiming, I just received a call from an old colleague, a friend we both know, a neurologist at the Shandong Provincial Hospital."
Qi Yue unconsciously said a lot of words to cover up his inner panic and anxiety.
"He's sixty-two years old and has bowel cancer..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "Teacher, this doctor's name is Shao Guodong, right?"
Qi Yue hummed and asked curiously, "Do you know him?"
Yu Zhiming took a deep breath and said, "More than just knowing each other, I remember it as if it were yesterday."
"If it weren't for his guidance, I probably wouldn't be a doctor today and would be living a different life..."
