Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

At 8:30 p.m., Ye Zimo stood at the door of the villa, took a deep breath nervously, straightened his clothes, and pressed the doorbell.

Ding Dong!

Three seconds later, a middle-aged woman opened the door.

The woman exudes elegance, dressed in a tailored suit, looking every bit the part of a high-level executive.

Is this Zhang Ming's wife?

it's beautiful!

My future mother-in-law is really good-looking.

Ye Ziming looked Aunt Xue up and down in an instant.

He was just about to introduce himself.

Aunt Xue spoke in a cold voice.

"We don't buy insurance."

As he was about to close the door, Ye Ziming hurriedly explained, "Wait, I'm not selling insurance."

"So you sell houses?"

"Still selling cars?"

Aunt Xue looked Ye Zimo up and down, and said speechlessly, "Is your business getting harder and harder? Besides making phone calls, you've started going door-to-door to sell."

"Auntie, I don't sell insurance, houses, or cars."

"I am a doctor in the emergency department of the provincial hospital. My name is Ye Ziming."

"I'm here to see Director Zhang."

Ye Ziming gave an awkward explanation.

Aunt Xue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh, you're a doctor from the provincial hospital. I thought you were an insurance salesman, since you were wearing a suit in this sweltering heat."

(Ye Ziming: This suit of mine is Armani...)

Aunt Xue warmly welcomed them in.

"Come in quickly."

"Your Uncle Zhang is training; he didn't tell me you were coming."

"Come in and have a seat."

Aunt Xue got slippers for Ye Ziming, then went inside to call Zhang Ming.

"Old Zhang, the doctors from your hospital are here."

"Come out and greet the guests."

A deep voice came from the inner room: "Who is it? Is that Xia?"

"It's not Xia Xia, they say her name is Ye Ziming."

A loud clatter came from the inner room, the sound of a barbell being placed on the floor. Zhang Ming came out with a towel around his neck. He was taken aback when he saw Ye Zimo and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel.

Ye Ziming grinned at him.

"Who do we have here? It's Xiao Ye."

"Xiao Ye, please sit down."

"Wife, make some tea for Xiaoye."

Zhang Ming's enthusiasm made Ye Ziming feel flattered.

"No need, Director."

"I'll just have some water."

"I've come so abruptly without giving you any prior notice. I hope I haven't caused you any inconvenience?"

Zhang Ming picked up his cup and drank a large glass of water.

He had a simple, honest smile on his face.

"What delay? I have nothing to do every day. I just stay home after get off work. My daughter is at school, so it's just my husband and me at home. It's so quiet. We need someone to come and liven things up."

Aunt Xue brought out fruit and also made tea.

"Xiao Ye, have some tea."

"Here, Xiao Ye, have a mangosteen. This mangosteen is very fresh."

The couple's enthusiasm gradually relaxed Ye Ziming's tense nerves.

"Honey, Xiao Ye is amazing."

"He graduated from the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University in just five years; he's a top-notch genius."

Zhang Ming enthusiastically introduced Ye Ziming to his wife.

Aunt Xue's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Medical students skipping grades? That's no easy feat."

"Is such an outstanding young man like Xiaoye married yet?"

Are you going to introduce your daughter to me?

Wherever I go, people want to introduce their daughters to me!

Ye Ziming maintained his composure on the surface: "No, I don't have a boyfriend yet. I went abroad for further studies a couple of years ago and only recently returned to China. I haven't settled on a boyfriend yet."

Aunt Xue nodded: "It's not easy for you medical students."

"She's almost thirty and only just started working; getting married is also late. Is Xiaoye in her thirties this year?"

Ye Ziming: "Exactly thirty."

"But I'm not in a hurry. I'll focus on my work and get married before I turn 40."

Zhang Ming and his wife nodded.

"Xiao Ye is a talented person, there's no rush to get married."

We've had our tea and fruit; now it's time to get down to business.

Ye Zimo took a small box out of her bag.

"director."

"It was wrong of me to snatch Xia Tian's patient, and I've come here today to apologize to you."

"Also, I bought you a small gift."

"I don't know if you'll like it, but I think it's pretty and suits you well."

Open the box, and inside is a watch.

The watch has a trendy design, a green screen, and feels very high-quality in the hand.

Zhang Ming frowned and glanced at the watch.

"A green screen, that's so youthful."

"You young people are always looking for new and exciting things."

Aunt Xue leaned over for a look, then frowned and patted her husband on the shoulder.

"What do you know?"

"This is a Rolex Submariner 'Hulk', a watch that costs over ten thousand yuan."

Upon hearing the amount of over 100,000, Zhang Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? It's so expensive!"

She hurriedly returned the watch to Ye Ziming: "Little Ye, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Take it back quickly."

How can you take back a gift that has been given away?

Ye Zimo smiled and said.

"You're too kind, Director. It's just a watch worth a few hundred thousand. With your status, wearing a watch worth a million wouldn't look out of place at all."

"This watch was brought back from abroad by a friend of mine, and I've always treasured it."

"This watch perfectly matches the director's style."

Wearing the watch, Zhang Ming grinned and said, "It does match well, but this watch is too youthful and doesn't suit my age."

Aunt Xue glared at him.

"You're an old man, what's the use of wearing such an expensive watch?"

"Hurry up and let Xiao Ye take it back."

The couple wanted to return it, but Ye Ziming's attitude was very firm.

He said, "Aunt Xue, since I've already given it to the director, there's no way I can take it back."

"Moreover, I really feel that this watch suits the director very well."

"I made a mistake before. I hope you will help me more in the emergency room in the future."

The couple exchanged a glance.

Zhang Ming chuckled: "In that case, I'll accept without hesitation."

"But this watch is indeed too youthful. I have a nephew who just graduated, and I haven't given him a gift yet. This watch would be perfect for him."

Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Xue kicked him.

"You gave Xiao Ye a gift, and then you just gave it away? How can you do things like that?"

Seeing this, Ye Zimo smiled and said.

"It's okay."

"The gift I gave to the director is now his; he can give it to whomever he wants."

"Besides, my nephew is family."

Aunt Xue smiled at Ye Zimo, her eyes full of admiration.

"Xiao Ye is not only smart, but also handsome and eloquent. He is truly an outstanding young man."

"Come visit us often in the future!"

Zhang Ming chimed in, "Yes, yes, come visit often in the future."

Ye Ziming didn't get up to say goodbye until almost 10 o'clock.

The couple warmly saw him off to his car. Even after the car had driven a dozen meters away, Ye Ziming saw in the rearview mirror that the couple were still watching him go.

Ye Ziming picked up her phone and sent a message to Qi Changfeng.

"Old Zhang has won!"
