Chapter 885: Becoming Brothers
Yu Zhiming invited Dr. Wang Wu to have dinner together on Monday.
Because there were not many people eating there and there were no particularly suitable restaurants near the hospital, Yu Zhiming simply asked Aunt Qiu to cook a few dishes at home and had the errand boy deliver them to the hospital.
He wanted to host a banquet for Dr. Wang in his office.
At 6:30 in the evening, Wang Wu rushed to Yu Zhiming's soundproof office and saw six delicious dishes, one soup, and a bottle of red wine on the coffee table.
"They say your office, Dr. Yu, plus the kitchen, is like a home."
Wang Wu glanced at Zhou Mo, who was cutting fruit for a fruit plate, and said with a wink, "Now it seems that it is almost the same as a real family."
Yu Zhiming didn't notice the guy's expression. He asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of wine himself.
At this time, Zhou Mo also prepared the fruit plate.
Yu Zhiming gestured to the red wine in his hand and said to Zhou Mo, "This is the last bottle of Gu's private brew. Do you want to drink it?"
Zhou Mo glanced at him and said, "Don't test me. I've quit drinking and I'll never break the rules and drink again."
Yu Zhiming put down the red wine, picked up his own drink, a cup of warm milk, and took a big sip with Dr. Wang.
"Yesterday, Chu Yunfan from the Jingcheng Chu family told me that they have collected 153 wild ginseng plants that are over 50 years old."
"So many?!" Wang Wu was a little surprised.
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "That's what he told me. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know."
After a pause, he continued, "That guy also told me that the ginseng life-extending pills made from these wild ginseng can be split in two and given to me half, on the condition that I spend one day a week working at Jingcheng Hospital."
"They know that we can't get rid of our dependence on wild ginseng, and they want to control us."
Wang Wu took a bite of the steamed grouper and said slowly, "The Chu family also contacted me and promised me the position of vice president, saying that I would be mainly in charge of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"You won't agree, will you?" Yu Zhiming was really worried, and a nervous look appeared on his face.
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "I'm quite self-aware of my medical skills. Even in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Huashan Hospital, I'm considered a general among the short ones."
"But compared to the Chu and Qin families, who have a deep heritage in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am far inferior. During this period, through constant communication with Dr. Qin Qiushi and Dr. Ye Peng, I have deeply felt this."
Yu Zhiming said: "Doctor Wang, please don't be so reckless..."
Wang Wu waved his hand to interrupt Yu Zhiming and sighed softly, "It's not shameful to admit that one's medical skills are inferior."
"In my early years, I was obsessed with researching medicinal foods, and I delayed practicing serious Chinese medicine to treat illnesses and save lives for more than ten years. As a result, my medical skills are not as good as others now, which is normal."
He took another sip of red wine and continued, "The Chu family invited me not because of my medical skills, but because they were attracted by the secret recipe of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills passed down in my family, as well as the preparation method."
"Once they steal my secret recipe and preparation method, I will definitely be kicked out."
Yu Zhiming said: "The Chu family shouldn't be so mean."
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "Perhaps most of the Chu family are good, but even a big tree has dead branches, and it's inevitable that there will be a few people with bad intentions."
After a pause, he turned and said, "Doctor Yu, you specially invited me to dinner. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Yu Zhiming took another sip of milk and swallowed the food in his mouth.
In order to invite experts to research alternative medicines to Ginseng Xuemian Wan, Dr. Wang needs to fully disclose the prescription and preparation method of Ginseng Xuemian Wan without any concealment.
At this moment, Yu Zhiming felt that he was not much different from those evil-minded guys in the Chu family.
Compared with the Chu family, he is upholding the so-called righteousness.
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "The failure of the experimental treatment last Friday night shows that the ginseng life-extending pills are indispensable."
"But the supply of wild ginseng is a big problem."
"Doctor Wang, I want to accelerate the development of alternative medicines and invite several experts in traditional Chinese medicine to come and tackle this problem."
"I'd like to hear your opinion, Dr. Wang."
Wang Wu did not respond directly, but picked up the red wine, took a sip, and then took another sip.
He slowly put down his wine glass and said, "Okay."
Yu Zhiming was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised that Dr. Wang agreed so readily.
"Doctor Wang, you can put forward any conditions you have. We can be completely open and honest with each other."
Wang Wu smiled gently and said, "Although I don't make much money, I'm not short of it. I also believe that Dr. Yu is a person who will not let me suffer any loss."
"Also, developing alternative medicines is imperative and will benefit the public. There's no reason for me to refuse."
After a pause, he slowly said, "The only thing I'm worried about right now is Shui Su."
Wang Wu sighed deeply and said, "I was born with a deficiency. More than one famous scholar has said that I will have trouble getting through middle age."
"I was afraid of delaying her, so I didn't think about getting married and having children, but unexpectedly I met Shui Su's mother."
"Love is so strange and selfish."
Wang Wu sighed and continued, "In order to be able to accompany them for a long time, I worked hard to study medicinal cuisine, and finally made it through the critical period of middle age."
"only……"
Wang Wu sighed, "There's a limit to how much one can change one's fate. I probably won't live long. In the past year or two, I've clearly felt a significant decline in my strength and energy."
"Maybe, it will only take two or three years."
Yu Zhiming looked at the skinny guy in front of him who was all flesh and bones, and always felt that his words were somewhat incompatible and inconsistent with the spirit emanating from him.
"Doctor Wang, they say a lazy person can live a hundred years. I think you won't have any problems living to eighty."
Wang Wu sighed again and said, "Doctor Yu, you don't need to comfort me. You know your own body best."
"In fact, I am already very satisfied to be able to live to this age and have a wife and a daughter."
"I just can't bear to leave my Shui Su behind."
Yu Zhiming met Dr. Wang's gaze and asked, "Do you want to see Wang Shuisu get married and have children as soon as possible?"
Wang Wu nodded vigorously and said, "Doctor Yu, you have to help me a lot. I will give you a job, and my Shui Su has been working hard for your wife. You have the responsibility to solve her lifelong problems."
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "Doctor Wang, this kind of thing can't be arranged by matchmaking."
"Besides, with Wang Shuisu's conditions, if she wants to marry and have children, she can find the right one in a matter of minutes."
“How can this be possible!”
Wang Wu shook the short beard on his chin and snorted, "My Shui Su is in such good condition, how can I make do with it?"
"Of course, I have to find a guy who is worthy of her, who has both good talent and good looks, and who also has a compatible relationship with her."
Yu Zhiming tried hard not to roll his eyelids.
Why are there so many high-quality leftover women in Binhai?
It is because they are unwilling to settle for less, lower their requirements, and insist on finding a partner who is outstanding in all aspects.
The problem is that these super-high-quality men are rare, and the choice of their other half is very wide.
Their requirements are simple. First, she must be beautiful, and at most, she must have a good personality.
Yu Zhiming said perfunctorily, "Doctor Wang, I'll have Qing Ning mobilize her family connections to see if she can find a few young men with good qualities to introduce to your precious daughter."
Wang Wu urged, "Remember to hurry up. The golden age for girls to find a boyfriend is only three or four years."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm".
Wang Wu said solemnly, "Doctor Yu, I need you to promise me..."
"If I ever die, you must take care of my Shuisu like your own sister and help her solve all her problems and troubles."
Yu Zhiming said with embarrassment: "Doctor Wang, I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. Doctor Wang Zejia is Wang Shuisu's cousin."
"Wang Shuisu also has uncles, aunts, and aunts. Aren't they more qualified to take care of her than me?"
Wang Wu snorted, "They are more qualified than you, but they don't have your ability or power."
"A lot of things that are very difficult for them can be solved by just one phone call for you."
"One more thing...
Wang Wu added: "Money is a powerful force. The medicinal food company, ginseng life-extending pills, etc., will definitely bring Shui Su billions of wealth."
"Sometimes the greed and calculations from family members are the hardest to guard against."
"For you, Doctor Yu, this is just a small amount of money. Plus, I trust your character."
"Doctor Yu, just tell me whether you agree or not?"
Yu Zhiming had no choice but to nod and say, "I promise, if Wang Shuisu gets into trouble, I won't sit idly by."
Wang Wu smiled and said, "Since you agreed, let's find a time to formally establish our relationship and let Shui Su recognize you as his brother."
"Isn't this necessary? It's the modern era now, and we still need to swear brotherhood?" Yu Zhiming looked doubtful.
“It’s very necessary!”
Wang Wu said with a serious face, "You and Shui Su have established the relationship of brother and sister. In the future, it will be legitimate for you to take care of Shui Su's affairs."
Yu Zhiming frowned, and thought of something, and asked, "Doctor Wang, is there something you are hiding from me?"
Wang Wu laughed and said, "How could I hide anything from you?"
"I'm just taking precautions, judging others by my own standards. It's better to prepare some things in advance, even if they're never needed, than to be caught off guard when the time comes."
The next moment, he turned and asked, "Regarding the expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine who will tackle this problem, do you have a candidate?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "Among the great masters of traditional Chinese medicine, I'm only familiar with two: Elder Ye from Gancaotang and Doctor Qin's father, Elder Qin."
"My idea is to ask them, as well as the leaders of the Health Bureau, to come forward and invite a few Chinese medicine masters to join us in creating this great cause."
"Doctor Wang, do you have anyone to recommend?"
Wang Wu shook his head and chuckled, "In terms of top connections, I'm no longer as good as you, Doctor Yu."
"With Elder Qin and Elder Ye's prominent positions in the TCM community, and the Health Bureau being the most authoritative authority, it's enough to invite a very influential TCM expert..."
