Chapter 546: Can't Open Your Mouth
Yu Zhiming was so happy with the dinner hosted by the Gu family that he even felt a little full.
Every dish is delicious.
The most luxurious dish on the surface is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which uses ingredients such as sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, scallops, fish lips, fish maw, etc., all of which are top-quality ingredients.
However, although some dishes look homely, they inadvertently reveal a low-key luxury.
For example, wild Hericium erinaceus is used in the stewed chicken, and wild morels are used in the fish fillet soup.
While eating the delicious minced eggplant, I found many small pieces of fresh mushrooms.
Yu Zhiming guessed that it was probably not an ordinary mushroom.
He asked Qing Ning in a low voice and found out that it was the morel mushroom, one of the four major mushroom kings in Yunnan Province.
This meal made Yu Zhiming realize that perhaps this was what a noble family was like: they were reserved and low-key, allowing you to feel their heritage and strength without you noticing.
Unlike some nouveau riche, who can't wait to hang a 10-8 catties gold chain around their neck and flaunt it in public...
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room to drink tea and chat.
Gu Changxuan took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Zhiming, you've been in Binhai for more than half a year, and your achievements are quite remarkable."
"Curing illnesses and saving lives, not to mention curing illnesses, just saving lives, there must be more than a hundred people, right?"
Yu Zhiming was about to say something modest when Gu Qingning chirped, "Dad, it must be more than that."
"Zhiming participated in several emergency rescues for seriously injured patients, saving at least 10 to 20 lives."
"We've also found several fatal heart attacks."
Gu Qingning counted on her fingers and said, "The number of cancers that were discovered early and serious illnesses that were diagnosed in time is too numerous to count."
Gu Qingran laughed and said, "Zhiming, you have saved more lives in six months than many doctors have saved in their entire lives."
Gu Qingning said with a smile on her face, "Not only does it save lives, it also helps many women who have difficulty conceiving successfully have babies, and many have had more than one."
Gu Changxuan laughed heartily and said, "I also know that the three research projects you are in charge of, Zhiming, are also progressing smoothly."
Yu Zhiming had no choice but to speak up and said, "If you praise me for curing illnesses and saving lives, I can barely accept it."
"However, my contribution to this medical research project is quite limited, especially the Ji's amino acid project. I was just a figurehead, but I didn't contribute at all."
Gu Qingran corrected him, "Zhiming, Director Zhang and Director Qi of your hospital's Department of Neurology both said that without you, they wouldn't have discovered the existence of Ji's amino acids."
Yu Zhiming said: "They are exaggerating a bit."
At this moment, Gu Changxuan suddenly asked, "Qingran, regarding the recent infiltration of the Ji's amino acid laboratory, have you made any progress in your investigation?"
"The laboratory was broken into?" It was the first time Yu Zhiming heard of this.
Gu Qingran explained, "Two weeks ago, someone broke into the amino acid preparation laboratory, triggered the alarm system, and was caught on the spot."
"We've investigated and learned that the man accepted employment from the islanders and intended to steal the strange fungus that produces Ji's amino acids."
"Fortunately, we were well prepared and installed a state-of-the-art anti-theft surveillance system."
Gu Qingran took a sip of tea and continued, "Four people have already received Ji's amino acid extended drug treatment and achieved encouraging results."
"This has attracted the attention of some domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies."
"To be clear, commercial competition tactics like theft, fraud, and even robbery exist."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and asked, "The other side has a myriad of tactics. Can we withstand them?"
Gu Changxuan smiled lightly and said, "Zhiming, don't worry, these are just small battles, we are capable of handling them."
"Our Gu family and Ning'an have developed to this point after going through many ups and downs, and the strength of each party is still good."
After a pause, Gu Changxuan said meaningfully: "Zhiming, we are a family now."
"You are no longer a lonely outsider in Binhai. The Gu family is your solid support."
"You don't have to be afraid of being bullied by anyone anymore."
These words made Yu Zhiming feel warm in his heart, and he said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness."
He added a bit ostentatiously, "Given my current medical skills and status, I don't think there are many people who dare to bully me."
Gu Changxuan chuckled and said, "Anyone with some common sense will be polite to you, but you can't be careless."
"There's no shortage of crazy people and desperate people these days."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm" as if he had learned something from her...
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to Yu Zhiming's medical assistant.
"President Li and Doctor Wang Chunyuan each recommended someone to come over. They're here to help me with my work, so I'm too lazy to bother looking for someone else."
Yu Zhiming looked at Gu Qingran again and said, "I guess Dean Li's intention is to make Ning'an Hospital pay a price so as to silence others."
Gu Qingran nodded in agreement, then said worriedly, "There are quite a few young doctors in Ning'an Hospital, but none that really catch my eye."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "Dean Gu, don't set your sights too high. It's really hard to find someone of my level."
Gu Qingran glanced at him.
"Besides being excellent yourself, you also need to consider that after you've trained your talent, you don't want them to jump ship and become someone else's bride."
He sighed again, "What a pity! There have been several people in the Gu family who have studied medicine over the years, but no one has persisted."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Perhaps it's because the young people of the Gu family have such a good living condition."
"Studying medicine is not only hard, but also boring and takes a long time. It's hard to stick with it just out of interest."
Gu Changxuan took over and said, "This is indeed a problem. Several elders are worried about the family's inheritance."
"There are more and more people who just lie down and wait for death. Especially young people, their struggle and hardship are getting worse and worse."
Gu Qingning commented, "This is the downside of high welfare: a lack of motivation to improve oneself."
Lu Hong reached out and tapped her daughter's eyebrows, teasing her, "How dare you say that?"
"Don't you look at yourself? You were spoiled since childhood, but you went to a mediocre university."
"It's been so long since I graduated, and I haven't done anything serious."
Gu Qingning hugged Yu Zhiming's arm and said with a giggle, "I've already won Zhiming over. Isn't my contribution to the family big enough?"
Gu Changxuan said happily: "It is indeed a great contribution. Your rating this year will definitely be excellent."
Gu Qingning smiled complacently and said, "Also, I'm starting a business."
"The medicinal food company we invested in is in the process of preparation and we expect to launch products in March or April after the Spring Festival."
"Please give us your support then."
At this time, another cell phone rang.
It’s Gu Qingran’s cell phone.
He took his cell phone and went to a room to talk. He came out of the room a few minutes later with a strange expression on his face.
"Zhiming, a friend asked me to use my connections to ask you to check someone's heart."
"That person had a heart transplant three years ago. He must be the one you rejected before dinner."
Gu Qingning said angrily, "This person is really good at scheming. He even found you here."
"Brother, did you refuse?"
Yu Zhiming was the first to speak: "As long as you are willing, you can always find connections who can help you."
He asked again, "You want me to go over now?"
Gu Qingran shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. I just wanted to schedule a checkup with you as soon as possible."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "It's been three years since the transplant. Even if the situation is urgent, it won't last for just one or two days."
"So, these past two days..."
At this point, Yu Zhiming suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to enter the hospital's official website, and then entered the outpatient registration system.
He found that when he clicked on his name, an explanation appeared.
It read: "Due to work schedule adjustments, Dr. Yu Zhiming's clinic next Monday is temporarily cancelled."
Yu Zhiming continued, "I don't have any outpatient appointments tomorrow, so I have ample time. I'll schedule it around 10 a.m."
"Let him come to see me at the center."
Gu Qingran went to the room again with his cell phone.
Gu Qingning suggested, "Zhiming, you're too easy to talk to. Since you've already refused, just refuse it to the end."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "No matter what, it's fate that people come to me for medical treatment."
"If the time is convenient, I will be satisfied."
"If I don't see him, there will be other patients by then, and I won't save any time."
Yu Zhiming took a sip from his teacup and said, "However, I will make one thing clear to everyone: when I'm resting, do not disturb me unless the situation is special and urgent."
Gu Changxuan suggested: "Zhi Ming, it is best not to open the door even in special and urgent situations."
"Which one of those who can contact you doesn't have a special situation?"
“It’s best to just cut it off.”
Gu Qingning also advised: "This is the best way. It can also prevent your rejection of them from affecting your relationship."
"Besides, the hospital admits critically ill patients every day. Even if you work yourself to death, you still won't be able to take care of them all."
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "That's true. They weren't my patients in the first place, so I don't need to be responsible for them."
Gu Qingning chuckled again, "Well, Zhiming, when you rest, I'll keep your phone for you."
"If you get another call asking for help, I'll turn it down on your behalf. If you're embarrassed to say anything, I'll say it on your behalf."
Coincidentally, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang again.
He glanced at the caller ID, which showed a local landline number. Looking at the number in front, it should be the landline of Huashan Hospital.
Handed the phone to Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning took the phone, stood up, gathered his emotions, and answered the call.
"Doctor Yu is resting. Who are you?"
"Outpatient emergency room? Seriously injured in a car accident?"
"Doctor Yu isn't the emergency doctor on duty. What's the point of calling?"
"He's the only one who's sure?"
"Before Dr. Yu came to Huashan Hospital, did all the seriously injured patients who came to be rescued have to wait for death?"
"Do you know how hard Dr. Yu works every day? He finally gets a day off, and you're still calling him like he's desperate to save someone?"
As she spoke, Gu Qingning became excited, "Are you happy only after you've exhausted Dr. Yu to death?"
"Dr. Yu also has his own life. He is not a robot, and he did not sell himself to Huashan Hospital as a slave."
"If you only think about exploiting him and making him work for you day and night without any consideration for his hard work."
"If this continues, Dr. Yu will have no choice but to leave the cold Huashan Hospital..."
