After six o'clock in the evening, at Junshan Mansion in Binhai, Yu's family.
"The fragrant stewed lamb is here."
Zhang Bai shouted as he carried a pot of boiling hot mutton from the kitchen to the dining room and placed it gently on the dining table.
Yu Xiangwan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton with skin. Fortunately, Yu Zhaoxia reminded him in time that it was hot, so he didn't put it directly into his mouth. He blew on it several times before taking a bite.
As soon as she swallowed it, she commented, "It's tender and fragrant, full of lamb flavor. It's much better than the braised lamb in our canteen."
Yu Xinyue, who was sitting next to her, said, "This is mutton that someone came all the way from here to send to Lao Wu. It must be the best of the best, and the quality is much better than what you have in your cafeteria."
Yu Xinyue couldn't help but sigh again, "Old Four, you've come at a good time. You can have whatever you want to eat, and it's all top-notch."
"Thinking back then, when I was pregnant with our eldest child, I couldn't bear to eat more than two bites of pork."
Yu Xiangwan quickly picked up a large piece of mutton for her and said with a smile, "Third sister, eat a few more bites now to make up for it."
Yu Ma snorted and criticized, "Don't always bring up the past. Lao Wu is not ungrateful. He has been very kind to each of you. Don't be ungrateful."
Yu Xinyue chuckled and said, "Mom, I just occasionally recall the good times. If I had known that Lao Wu would be so successful, I would have refused to eat a single bite of meat and would not have had any objections."
At this time, Yu Chaoxia heard her cell phone ringing. When she opened it, she saw that it was a short video sent by Qingning.
She clicked on it and smiled, "A video of Lao Wu swimming in the hot spring pool, sent by Qing Ning."
Yu Xiangwan stood up and came over, watched the video, and said with a smile: "It looks much better than the previous doggy paddle. It seems that Qing Ning taught it well."
She couldn't help but brag, "Come to think of it, Lao Wu should thank me for learning how to swim."
"If I hadn't taken him to the reservoir before..."
Yu Xiangwan suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly sat back in his seat and buried his head in eating.
Yu Zhaoxia glanced at her and said, "If it weren't for Lao Wu, you would have almost become a water ghost in the reservoir."
"My parents and I already know about that."
Yu Xiangwan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "You all knew everything? Why didn't you beat me for that?"
Yu Xinyue was a little confused and asked what was going on.
Yu Xiangwan briefly recounted the incident that summer when he took Lao Wu, whose eyesight was still not well, to play in the reservoir, but he accidentally slipped into the reservoir and was rescued by Lao Wu.
Yu Xinyue couldn't help but say angrily, "If I had known that back then, I would have asked my parents to break your legs."
She also asked in confusion: "Hey, big sister, since you all knew everything back then, why didn't you punish the fourth child severely?"
Yu Zhaoxia smiled softly, met Yu Xiangwan's inquiring gaze, and said, "At first, I was worried that you two would be frightened, so I didn't do anything to you."
"After three or four days, seeing that you were all fine, I found a random excuse to beat you up."
Yu Xiangwan's eyes widened as she spoke, "I knew it. That time, I just stole fifty cents to buy snacks, and they beat me up so badly. So that's the root of the problem."
She said again with a look of grievance: "Sister, you beat me so hard that time. I still remember it very clearly."
Yu Zhaoxia snorted softly, "If my anger hadn't subsided and Lao Wu's eyes hadn't started to recover, I would have hit you even harder."
Yu Xiangwan chuckled and said, "Old Five was able to sense light from that moment on. Perhaps it was because of my falling into the water that he was able to unleash his potential, unleashing his immense strength to break through the blood clot in his brain that was suppressing his visual center."
"In that case, I still have merit."
Yu Zhaoxia glared at the guy and said, "Old Four, don't think I won't hit you just because you're pregnant."
Yu Xiangwan instantly turned into a good girl and picked up food for everyone.
"Mom, this meat is so mushy, I can't even bite it!"
"Sister, I see you like these fish balls..."
Yu Xinyue waited for a moment, but Yu Xiangwan didn't pick up any food for her, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where's mine?"
Yu Xiangwan glanced at her and said, "My parents gave birth to me and raised me, and my eldest sister took care of me the most."
"You've bullied me a lot since I was little, so naturally I have to treat you differently."
Yu Xinyue angrily said, "During the years when you were working as a real estate agent in the county, you often came to my house to eat and drink for free."
"I don't eat it for free. I often buy fruits, vegetables and meat." Yu Xiangwan argued confidently.
Yu Xinyue exposed it: "Don't think I don't know, most of them were bought with Lao Wu's money."
Yu Ma couldn't help but say, "Just shut up and stop talking. You start arguing as soon as you meet. You're all mothers now."
Yu Xiangwan muttered, "I'm not officially a mother yet."
Seeing Yu Ma's stern look, she quickly picked up another piece of mutton for Yu Xinyue...
Zhang Bai saw that the atmosphere in the restaurant had returned to harmony, so he chuckled and said, "This morning, a guy came to me and said he wanted to work in our company."
"When I looked at his resume, wow..."
Zhang Bai said with a sigh, "He has a bachelor's and master's degree in management from Peking University, and an MBA from Peking University. He first worked his way up to CEO of the China region for a Fortune 500 foreign company, and was later recruited by a listed company as general manager."
Yu Xiangwan asked excitedly, "He's optimistic about the future of our small canteen and came here specifically to recommend himself?"
Zhang Bai hummed and said, "That's one factor, but another reason is that he wants Lao Wu to treat his wife..."
After 7:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning, who had eaten a sumptuous dinner, walked out of the small building hand in hand, digesting their food while enjoying the scenery under the night sky.
Neither of them spoke, enjoying the silence and the feeling of walking together.
More than half an hour later, they circled most of the way around the lake, and Qing Ning took out his ringing cell phone from his pocket.
"My brother sent a message asking if it's convenient for you to pick up the phone right now to discuss something."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "I've only been away for two or three days, and you have to contact me about something?"
"Will you let me take a good vacation?"
Yu Zhiming said this, but he reached out and took the phone from Qingning's hand and dialed Gu Qingran's number.
Qing Ning couldn't help laughing, knowing that this guy not only couldn't sit still, but also enjoyed the feeling of being needed.
"If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm on vacation!"
Gu Qingran on the other end of the call said, "Johns Hopkins Hospital wants to cooperate with us in medical treatment, mainly focusing on advanced cancer treatment, experimental treatment with Ji's amino acids, and screening for very early cancer."
After a pause, Gu Qingran continued, "Our idea is that all these collaborations can be discussed. It just depends on how much they are willing to pay."
"To be honest, as the world's leading medical technology power, they have a lot of things that we are very jealous of."
"Zhiming, you here?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "I have no objection, brother-in-law. Please exchange as much technology and equipment as possible for what we need."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Zhiming, don't worry. It's a rare opportunity for us to take the initiative. We have the opportunity to bite the lion's mouth wide open, so we must bite it hard."
Yu Zhiming thought of something and asked, "Have you figured out the mass production process for Ji's amino acids?"
Gu Qingran sighed softly during the call, "Not yet. The cultivation conditions for that kind of fungus are too demanding, and research on factory-scale production has not made any progress."
"Ning'an Pharmaceutical has spent a considerable amount of money to build ten high-standard cultivation laboratories. The production of Ji's amino acids can now reach 40 units per day."
"The cost is about 50,000 yuan per piece."
"What's the price?" Yu Zhiming asked with concern.
Gu Qingran replied, "The initial R&D investment has already reached several hundred million. Coupled with the low production volume, the market price is expected to be no less than 150,000 yuan per piece."
Yu Zhiming also knew that the investment in pharmaceutical research and development was quite staggering, but the price of 150,000...
"The price is too high. Not many people in China can afford it. Most people who suffer from head and brain injuries are ordinary people."
Gu Qingran said during the call, "One way is to sell the drug at a high price abroad and use the foreign profits to subsidize domestic patients."
"The specific details will depend on how the drug is accepted by patients at home and abroad after it is actually launched on the market."
The next moment, Gu Qingran changed the subject and said, "Zhiming, your idea of a teaching hospital is highly valued by your hometown and the Shandong Province. I know they've already set up a special working group to advance this."
"I also heard that your hometown has prepared a 5,000-acre land plan for this project."
"Five thousand acres?!" Yu Zhiming was really shocked.
The county hospital only occupies 50 to 60 acres. How can this hospital, which has not even been built yet, be as big as a hundred county hospitals?
How many patients will it take to fill the capacity?
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Of course these five thousand acres can't all be a hospital. There are supporting family quarters, hotels for patients' families to stay, service facilities, and so on."
"As for capital investment, you don't have to worry about it."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "The county government allocated the land free of charge, and the provincial government also provided matching funds. In addition to your personal investment, Zhiming, Ning'an Group will fully support it."
"Changxu Pharmaceuticals also contacted me and said they will fully support you."
Gu Qingran continued, "Zhi Ming, I can give you a low point. The support provided by Ning An is no less than 500 million yuan per year. Changxu Pharmaceuticals should provide more, not less."
These words left Yu Zhiming dumbfounded.
"I just proposed the idea of a teaching hospital. In just a few days, the government working group was established, the land was arranged, and the investment was secured."
Gu Qingran laughed and said, "Zhiming, do you feel like you're being pushed around?"
"Just like Zhao Kuangyin, who was forced to rebel even though his subordinates put a yellow robe on him."
Yu Zhiming said: "Indeed, I have this feeling."
Gu Qingran stopped laughing and his voice became serious. He said, "The main thing is that I think your idea is feasible. The leaders in your hometown think it is feasible. The leaders in Shandong Province think it is feasible. The person in charge of Changxu Pharmaceutical also thinks it is feasible."
"We all agree on this, so naturally we want to implement and promote it as quickly, efficiently and economically as possible."
After two seconds of silence, Gu Qingran continued on the phone, "Our country's resources have always been concentrated in large cities. In fact, given our country's current infrastructure and transportation conditions, given enough opportunities, a small county town can easily become a regional medical or educational center."
"Zhiming, you are Liyang County's great opportunity. I am sure that in a few years, Zhiming Hospital will be more well-known nationwide than your hometown, Liyang County."
Yu Zhiming said dejectedly, "Have you even decided on the name of the hospital?"
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "Apart from this name, I can't think of any other name that can be accepted by all parties and has no objections..."
After ending the call with Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming's hand was held by Qingning again.
"If you don't like their unsolicited advancement, tell them you're quitting this hospital."
Qing Ning said indignantly, "With your current status and abilities, they certainly wouldn't dare to object."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "To be honest, I don't feel that much offended."
"Given my energy and ability, most of the work in this hospital will have to be done by others. The most I can do is put on a figurehead and contribute to recruiting staff and training doctors."
He looked at the dark mountains ahead and continued, "Big cities have too many temptations, and the cost of living is high."
"Young doctors find it difficult to devote themselves to learning and improvement, and some capable doctors are too busy making money to invest too much energy in medical research."
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "Qing Ning, I want to build this hospital. Not only build it, but also develop it well, and truly train a group of down-to-earth and motivated young doctors."
Qing Ning shook Yu Zhiming's hand vigorously and said, "I think there's a saying that really fits you."
"What?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "With great power comes great responsibility. Look at you, not only are you concerned about the development of your hometown, but you're also concerned about the advancement of the medical community."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as a person's needs are continuously met, they will pursue higher levels of self-realization and satisfaction..."
While chatting, the two returned to the two-story building where they were staying and found someone waiting in front of the building.
"Hello, Dr. Yu!"
The man took two steps closer, coughed twice, and then tried to suppress the cough and said, "I'm Liao Xiong. Due to health reasons, I'm considered an old patient who often recuperates here."
With the help of the light coming through the small building and the street lamp, Yu Zhiming looked at the man.
He was about fifty years old, thin, with a pale face and a sickly appearance.
Liao Xiong continued, "I know you, Dr. Yu, are on vacation and not seeing patients. Could I schedule an appointment for a physical examination after you return to work?"
He smiled bitterly and said, "My health has been poor for six or seven years. If I wait a few more months, it shouldn't be a problem."
Yu Zhiming asked, "How many times did you pass by here this morning? Why didn't you just come in and see me?"
Liao Xiong said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I know you don't want to be disturbed during your vacation, so I'm hoping you'll take the initiative to call me. I'm not disturbing you."
"Please forgive my little thoughts. I've been feeling unwell for a long time, so I've become a little selfish."
Liao Xiong apologized and said, "My little plan this morning didn't work out, so I thought I'd come over and make an appointment with you on the last day."
"only……"
Liao Xiong said frankly: "It's like a hungry person looking at a table of delicious food. I couldn't help it, so I came over."
"Doctor Yu, please forgive my intrusion. Are you aware of my appointment?"
Yu Zhiming could see Liao Xiong's cautiousness and expectation, and he also understood some of the psychological aspects of people who had been ill for a long time.
In comparison, this person is quite polite and restrained.
"Comrade Liao, you're lucky! I'm itching to do something. Come in with me..."
