Chapter 1658: Forced Marriage
At seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Jingmo, who had eaten and drunk his fill, left Yu's house and went to the train station to take an overnight train back to Beijing.
After eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming received a call from Gu Qingran.
Gu Qingran, who was in Quancheng, Shandong Province, told Yu Zhiming that with the active matchmaking of the Quancheng government, they had signed a cooperation framework agreement with Dongyue Life Insurance.
The cooperation method is that Ning'an and Changxu invest in Dongyue Life Insurance to obtain the company's controlling stake, move the headquarters to Binhai, and become a life insurance company with nationwide business scope.
As for the Dongting and Zhujiang insurance companies, they are more interested in investing and acquiring shares rather than merging as a whole.
However, given the overall strength of Ning'an Group and Changxu Pharmaceutical, and now that they have Dongyue Life's life insurance business qualifications and professional and technical personnel, they are naturally unwilling to share their share with others.
Yu Zhiming could tell that Gu Qingran on the other end of the line was stammering, and couldn't help asking, "It's only what time now, and you're already stammering. How much did you drink?"
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do. They're too enthusiastic, especially the assistant host. He keeps talking one thing after another. I can't handle it at all. I feel guilty if I don't drink."
Although Yu Zhiming doesn't drink alcohol, he knows something about the drinking culture of his hometown.
The deputy host is the person who speaks the best and drinks the most at the wine table in my hometown, and is specifically responsible for urging others to drink.
Gu Qingran's voice continued to come from the phone, "I'm still okay, Zhiming, you don't know, Ling Yuchuan has been drunk and has crawled through the table."
"Wait, I'll send you and Qing Ning some ugly photos of that boy."
Gu Qingran laughed maliciously a few times and continued, "It's mainly because I'm happy today that the cooperation has been reached. From now on, the work will be accelerated and substantive progress will be made."
"We'll try to spend another six months preparing so that by the time Huashan Second Hospital opens, the insurance company can have some results..."
After ending the call with Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning looked at some photos of Ling Yuchuan in drunken poses on their mobile phone screens.
Qing Ning smiled and said, "Ling Yuchuan's girlfriend must be no ordinary person. Big brother is taking advantage of someone's misfortune this time. Be careful not to get revenge on him."
"Hey, husband, why is it that some people can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, while others get drunk after just one?"
Seeing his wife looking at him with curiosity, Yu Zhiming immediately perked up and said, "Whether a person can drink alcohol depends mainly on the body's ability to metabolize alcohol."
"Alcohol is mainly metabolized in the human liver. If the liver is rich in alcohol metabolizing enzymes, namely acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, alcohol can be metabolized more quickly."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued, "The amount of alcohol-metabolizing enzyme in the human body is mainly determined by genetics, and individual differences can reach several times, or even dozens of times."
"So whether a person can drink alcohol is determined at birth. Of course, it can be improved through training."
Yu Zhiming took a bite of the apple that was passed to him by the lemon, and then he explained, "The drunken reaction is a kind of negative feedback in the body. It can protect our body and avoid excessive drinking and the damage it causes."
"If you ignore your body's reaction to being drunk and insist on drinking excessively for a long time, it will easily lead to the development of alcohol-related diseases such as alcoholic liver disease and esophageal cancer."
Yu Zhiming saw Zhou Mo approaching and continued, "In traditional Chinese medicine, wine is also a medicinal ingredient. Drinking it in moderation is good for your health."
“There is a question of the right amount, though.”
"Some scholars have done research and found the upper limit of a person's average daily alcohol consumption. If converted into various types of alcohol, it is no more than one liang of white wine, and two liang of rice wine and red wine."
"Beer, just one bottle."
Yu Zhiming suggested again, "Zhou Mo, you can drink a little bit every day. You don't have to quit drinking for me."
“Drinking is also a kind of joy in life.”
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "It's better to quit drinking completely. If someone urges you to drink, you have a good reason to do so."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "In life, there are always some bad habits, such as wine, sex, money and anger, to make you live a little more freely."
"Momo, which one do you want to choose?"
Qing Ning put her arms around Yu Zhiming's neck and said, "It's obvious that my choice is sex, hehe."
Zhou Mo smiled softly and didn't answer the question. Instead, he said to Yu Zhiming, "Ding Ye, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, and Duan Yi have discussed it and are willing to hold a group wedding. However, the time has not yet been determined."
"Also, Shen Qi hasn't proposed to Olivia yet, and according to him, there's a good chance he'll be rejected."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "If they hold a group wedding, it would really save trouble. I only need to attend one wedding for five people to get married."
"They're holding a group wedding, so I have to show some appreciation."
"so……"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and asked, "Zhou Mo, how much does it cost to hold a medium-sized wedding in Binhai?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either."
"The difference in wedding costs is huge. For example, Dr. Yu and Qing Ning's wedding must have cost tens of millions more."
"For a small family, a wedding can be arranged with tens of thousands of dollars. For a wealthy family, hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars are not uncommon."
Yu Zhiming looked at Qing Ning beside him and asked, "Do you know the exact cost of our wedding?"
The entire wedding was basically managed by his father-in-law, and Yu Zhiming never paid much attention to it.
As for the wedding expenses, the Yu family only paid once.
This was what Yu's father insisted on when we were discussing the wedding, that he would pay half of the wedding banquet expenses.
The fee was later settled at nearly 16 million.
Naturally, this money was paid by Yu Zhiming.
In addition, Yu Zhiming gave Yu's father and mother five million yuan at the beginning of the wedding preparations to be used for various expenses.
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "I'm not sure exactly. Celebrities don't spend much money. The bulk of their expenses are for banquets, drinks, hotels, and so on."
"I estimate it's about 50 or 60 million."
The wedding banquet alone cost more than 30 million, and the other expenses totaled 30 million, which Yu Zhiming thought was reasonable.
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said to Zhou Mo, "Tell them a few things. As their teacher, you have to show some appreciation."
"So, I'll give each of them a subsidy of 600,000 yuan for their weddings, so they can prepare for the weddings according to their ability."
Zhou Mo said with a smile on his face: "With your 600,000 yuan subsidy, Doctor Yu, their collective wedding will definitely be grand and magnificent."
She added, "I'll also pay for their wedding dresses, anything under 200,000 yuan."
Qing Ning also roared, "As the master's wife, I have to show some appreciation. Um... I'll give them 100,000 yuan for their honeymoon week..."
At this moment, the large office on the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building was bustling with activity. Zhou Luo, Sui Chi, Duan Yi, and Zhao Fang were planning a romantic proposal for Shen Qi.
Soon, they received a call from Zhou Mo.
After listening to the call, Shen Qi excitedly said, "If Olivia agrees to the proposal, that's fine. If she doesn't, I'll kidnap her and force her to marry me."
"You're so domineering!"
Zhou Luo teased him and said to everyone, "This group wedding is confirmed. We'll discuss it with our significant others and our parents in the next two or three days."
"We need to finalize the time and the number of guests we will have, so we can decide on the wedding venue..."
