Chapter 227 The Devil Lives in My Heart

At nearly seven o'clock in the evening, when Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan Community after get off work, he smelled the rich aroma of food and saw Zhang Bai who was busy in the kitchen.

Yu Zhiming took a few steps to the dining table and saw braised pork ribs, braised chicken with mushrooms, steamed turbot, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, homemade tofu...

It’s still a home-cooked dish, but the aroma and appearance make the mouth water and the appetite whet your appetite...

A few minutes later, Yu Zhiming, Yu Xiangwan, Gu Qingning, and Zhang Bai sat down at the dining table.

Yu Zhiming was the first to taste the stewed chicken. The taste was indeed beyond what the fourth sister's half-skilled cooking skills could compare to.

"Zhang Bai, your cooking skills are quite good. You can even keep up with the chefs of star hotels."

"Do you have a chef's license?"

Zhang Bai chuckled and said: "Nothing else, I'm just familiar with it."

"Ever since I was in elementary school, my mother has been busy with work and has no time to cook. I have to cook lunch and dinner a lot of the time..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Bai suddenly showed a sad look on his face, and he couldn't say any more.

Yu Zhiming sighed secretly and changed the subject: "Tuesday is the National Day holiday. We are going to Huguangshanshe in the suburbs. I heard that the scenery there is very good."

"Zhang Bai, come with us to relax!"

Zhang Bai adjusted his mood and squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Dr. Yu, thank you for the invitation."

"I won't go. I'll stay in the city and help Xiangwan look after short-term rental houses to see if we can find some more suitable houses."

Yu Xiangwan also said with excitement: "Lao Wu, let me tell you some good news. The company's business license has been issued."

"Xiangwan Apartment Management Co., Ltd., business scope, property management, real estate agency, catering services..."

"Is there any catering service?" Yu Zhiming interrupted and asked.

Yu Xiangwan poked Zhang Bai with his finger and said, "Zhang Bai, come and introduce it to Lao Wu in detail."

Zhang Bai took a sip of the soup and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"There are many people living in the rental house, and when it's meal time, the kitchen is a little bit out of capacity."

"In the past few days, I have been walking around Huashan Hospital and Ning'an Hospital and found that there are many restaurants around Huashan Hospital, but the prices are on the high side."

"The restaurant in Huashan Hospital that is open to patients and their families tastes very average."

"As for the surrounding area of ​​Ning'an Hospital, there are few small restaurants suitable for ordinary people to eat."

Gu Qingning couldn't help but said: "The restaurant in Ning'an Hospital is open to patients and their families. The dining environment and food quality are quite good."

Zhang Bai nodded and said: "It's pretty good, but the food prices are also pretty good. It's more expensive than other restaurants outside."

After a pause, Zhang Bai continued: "Xiang Wan and I are discussing whether we can open a large canteen near the hospital."

"In addition to providing affordable fast food, we also provide processing of supplied materials. We process the dishes according to the ingredients and requirements brought by the family, and charge a processing fee ranging from a few yuan."

“We can also rent out stoves so that patients’ families can cook their own special meals with local flavors.”

Yu Zhiming nodded lightly and said, "It's a good idea to process the supplied materials and rent out the stoves."

"Patients generally have a poor appetite and prefer to eat meals with local flavors."

Gu Qingning asked: "Processing supplied materials and renting out stoves require a lot of chefs and a large kitchen."

"The cost is not low. Can the processing fee and stove rental fee be recovered?"

Zhang Bai smiled and said, "This is indeed a problem. Xiang Wan and I plan to have this large canteen not for the purpose of making money, but as an additional service for Xiang Wan's apartment."

"Also, we hope to make up for the cost of processing supplied materials and renting stoves through the revenue from fast food."

Yu Xiangwan took over and said: "The problem now is that it is difficult to find a house, so we must be as close to the hospital as possible."

“But the rent around Huashan Hospital is too high.”

Zhang Bai chuckled and said, "So, we decided to do the next best thing and open a similar small canteen in a place where short-term rentals are concentrated."

"Provide similar services to tenants and surrounding residents, firstly, to accumulate experience, and secondly, to verify the feasibility of this model."

Yu Xiangwan looked at Yu Zhiming and chuckled: "Lao Wu, the initial investment in opening a small canteen is not low."

"The rent, decoration, equipment, and hiring of people are all worth hundreds of thousands."

Yu Zhiming rolled his eyelids and hummed: "I knew you were worried about my September salary again."

Yu Xiangwan chuckled again and said: "Lao Wu, I will lend you a loan in the name of the company. In addition to the highest interest rate, I will also pay business dividends."

Yu Zhiming made a light sound and teased: "Fourth sister, with the way you are doing it, when will you see dividends?"

Yu Xiangwan hummed unconvinced: "Based on the current rental income and expenses, my short-term rental house has already generated income. A house can earn at least two to three thousand a month."

"It's just that I invested the money I earned and rented a new house."

"Lao Wu, when my company grows like a snowball and then goes public, we will be billionaires by then."

Yu Zhiming reached out and touched the fourth sister's forehead, and said exaggeratedly: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "Maybe I'm talking in my sleep."

Zhang Bai smiled and said: "For short-term rentals and large canteens for the families of patients in large hospitals, I personally think that the development prospects of this model are quite good."

"We will develop step by step and step by step. Not to mention listing, it is still possible to develop into a scale with revenue of hundreds of millions."

Gu Qingning attacked: "This model is easy for others to copy. Once capital intervenes, it will be a price war, which will be a waste."

“It’s like a long-term rental apartment that was once prosperous!”

Zhang Bai hummed and said, "So, we can't be greedy. We will rely on Dr. Yu's reputation and connections to work steadily and capture the market around Huashan Hospital, Ning'an Hospital, and the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University first."

"I roughly estimate that these three hospitals are enough to support a short-term rental market worth hundreds of millions."

"We are not greedy, just try to get 20 to 30 million yuan. With funds and spare capacity, we can then develop into other hospitals..."

The few of them were enjoying a table of delicious food, talking about business and the future, and having a great time...

After dinner, the dining table and kitchen were cleaned up, and Yu Xiangwan and Zhang Bai went out to walk on the street.

Gu Qingning handed Yu Zhiming a cup of tea and asked, "What do you think of Fourth Sister's business?"

Yu Zhiming took the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"In the short-term rental business, as long as the price is right and the management is in place, there should be no shortage of patients' family members to stay."

“Large canteens that process supplied materials and rent out stoves, as long as they are affordable and the food tastes good, there will be no shortage of customers.”

Yu Zhiming said slowly: "To put it bluntly, this is not a huge profit industry. What is earned is conscience money and hard-earned money."

"The fourth sister is diligent, not greedy, and not afraid of hard work. If she moves forward step by step, she will definitely develop."

"When it develops to a certain scale, it is easy for problems to arise. Zhang Bai is a wise man. Now that he is assisting and planning, I feel much more at ease."

Gu Qingning pretended to be joking and asked, "Aren't you worried that he will eventually occupy the magpie's nest?"

Yu Zhiming said calmly: "I am a doctor, and I am a doctor with relatively good medical skills."

"Doctors can not only save people, but also harm them. I will make Zhang Bai realize this deeply."

These words made Gu Qingning feel inexplicably creepy and couldn't help but shudder.

"Zhi Ming, you are kidding me, right?"

Yu Zhiming smiled lightly and said in a deep voice: "I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"I grew up being pampered by my family. Now that I have some abilities, it's time to protect them."

"It's easy to get together and relax, and it's easy to talk about anything. If someone hurts my family, I will definitely not sit idly by."

Gu Qingning sat down next to Yu Zhiming, stretched out her finger and touched his chest.

"Is there a devil living here?"

Yu Zhi understood her and said, "Isn't it said that there is a devil living in everyone's heart?"

"I'm usually suppressed by Shan."

"Once the bottom line is broken, the devil will be released and will no longer be controlled."

Gu Qingning asked again: "Family is your bottom line?"

Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Isn't family the bottom line in most people's hearts?"

Gu Qingning nodded and said: "That's true."

"Hey, Zhiming, if I was hurt by someone, very seriously, how far would you go for me?"

Yu Zhiming met Gu Qingning's expectant eyes and said, "If your family can't seek justice for you, I will find a way to vent your anger."

This answer…

Gu Qingning was a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't be wrong.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips.

At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang. It was a call from He Yingjun, the dean's secretary.

"Secretary He, good evening."

"Doctor Yu, good evening. Regarding Bai Shulan's impersonation today, the hospital will deal with it seriously and prevent similar things from happening in the future."

Yu Zhiming said casually: "You can just watch and deal with that matter, as long as she doesn't hang around in front of my eyes again."

He Yingjun said loudly on the phone: "Doctor Yu, don't worry, I will give her a stern warning and won't let her make trouble again."

After a pause, he turned to ask: "Dr. Yu, do you have any plans for this National Day?"

Yu Zhiming replied: "I went with my family to a club in the suburbs that is said to have a beautiful scenery for a few days."

"Secretary He, is there something wrong?"

He Yingjun chuckled and said: "Doctor Yu, it's like this. A person came to me and said that a relative in Australia was not in good health and it was inconvenient to return to China."

"I want to invite you to Australia. All food, accommodation and travel are included during the National Day. I would like you to check up on his relatives."

Yu Zhiming declined politely: "Secretary He, to tell you the truth, I haven't even applied for a passport."

"This Australian group will definitely not be able to go..."

After ending the call with He Yingjun, Yu Zhiming saw Gu Qingning bring the erhu over.

"Zhi Ming, I want to listen to "Sweet Honey"..."
