Chapter Seventy-Four: The Past and the Present
The images presented on the screens of medical instruments are cyclical movements of organisms.
A liquid that is slowly moving through the arc-shaped chamber in a rippling motion.
Both expansion and contraction alternate in a steady and steady rhythm.
"As you can see, your ventricles are in very good condition and there are no blockages. And there is no evidence on the ECG, so you have any abnormal heart rate. I have to congratulate you on the fact that you don't have to worry about your heart condition in any way. ”
The director of the cardiology department of the special needs clinic of Beijing Union Medical College Hospital pointed to the screen and introduced to Zhuo Qun.
"Isn't there any problem? I mean, there's no hidden danger at all?" Zhuo Qun wanted to confirm again.
The director smiled and nodded firmly.
"Yes, there are absolutely no hidden dangers. Your heart is very healthy and is ideal for someone your age. And according to the results of other medical examinations, your lung function is just as healthy, but your liver is a little fatty liver. You need to eat a little healthier. ”
"Hi, I listened to your advice and quit smoking, but I haven't been able to quit drinking, probably because of this. ”
"It looks like you need to do a little bit more. But let's be honest, it's not a big deal, as long as you drink in moderation and get plenty of exercise. Do you still ride horses every day?"
"Yes, because now my daughter is also in love with horseback riding, I spend more time riding than before. I also go to the gym, about twice a week. ”
"Great, so keep it up. The doctor said, "I have to say, there are a lot of rich people. But there are not many wealthy people who understand that health is the guarantee of quality of life. You have both the financial ability to stay healthy and the lifestyle philosophy of staying healthy, which is very enviable. Although it is impossible to predict life accurately from a medical point of view, I really think that you will be a long-lived person......"
Zhuo Qun talked with the doctor for a few more minutes.
He asked for other advice on health.
The doctor also used his work to ask him for advice on the direction of investment.
He really left.
As he returned to the estate in his extended Cadillac, he looked out at the crowd outside the car.
He had a rare memory of the past.
He was thinking about nothing else, but about himself in his previous life.
At this age, I am also on the eve of the 2019 National Day military parade.
That was twenty years ago.
At that time, he had to breathe in such a city full of smog and car exhaust every day.
Squeeze into the bus or subway like ants to get to work.
The last thing that can inspire a positive mindset is something that can be used to inspire a positive mindset.
That is, on the day of the 70th anniversary, I sat in front of the TV and saw the National Day military parade.
It is a pity that the strength and prosperity of the motherland have brought out more and more the mediocrity and failure of his personal life.
How so?
In fact, he has always found it difficult to confirm a problem.
Is it the pitiful self in the previous life, or the pitiful self in this life?
Because in this life there are many things that should have been grasped that he has not been able to grasp, and many more precious things seem to have been lost.
But now he's a little more optimistic.
Because at the very least, there are still some bad things that have become different.
Of course, this is not to say that his identity has changed now.
He became an invited guest of honour, and as a representative of the business community, he was able to sit on the side podium to watch the parade.
It's just a success, it's amazing.
No, it's not like that.
In fact, what he cares more about is the deputy director of the editorial department who is used to being an office, overstressed, and slightly overweight.
Because of a divorce call, he covered his chest, fell headfirst back in the utility room, and watched the world come to naught with great unwillingness.
Not anymore!
Now he has a fairly healthy body and huge wealth, which is enough to escort the pearl of his palm.
His future is for Zhuo Yue, his beloved daughter.
He will resist all darkness for her and share all the light with her.
This is probably the truest way for everyone to feel about their lives – both good and bad.
…………
On the day of the National Day parade, not long after the fireworks show ended.
Zhuo Qun immediately rushed back to his manor.
In fact, there was no need to be so urgent.
Because Jin Meixi promised to accompany Zhuo Yue for a full seven-day National Day holiday.
According to the original plan, Zhuo Qun took his wife to sit on the viewing platform and finish the limelight.
They were supposed to stay in the capital for the night, and the next day the two of them went back to the manor together.
But unfortunately, when they were having dinner at the hotel near Chang'an Avenue that night, there was a fierce quarrel, and the result was unpleasant.
To be honest, the meal was actually discordant from the start.
You must know that Zhuo Qun is over forty years old, even if he is in good health.
But he rarely went to Beijing once, he was busy with socializing for a day, and he participated in another day's activities, and he was already very tired.
What he was looking forward to was calling a room service in his hotel room.
After taking a shower, just eat a little bit of food and go to bed comfortably.
But Kim Meixi is not willing to be so perfunctory.
She is only in her early thirties, and she has just participated in a major event, but she still maintains an irrepressible excitement.
She likes exposure the most, and prefers to let people know that she is Zhuo Qun's wife.
So she not only insisted on going to the Western restaurant to eat, but also dressed up to attend.
Obviously, she also sees dining in the restaurant as an occasion to watch people and be watched.
This made Zhuo Qun extremely awkward, thinking that his wife did not consider himself at all.
Later, he was completely thinking that Zhuo Yue was looking forward to his mother and his mother celebrating the holiday with him for a long time, and he thought that there was no need to disappoint the child.
forced himself to obey his wife's wishes.
But the ensuing conversation, the wife was even more incomprehensible, which brought him even greater unhappiness.
"Zhuo Yue should go to school next year. I have already taken a fancy to one, in Beijing, a Sino-British joint venture, Yingcheng International School. Not far from our villa by the Wenyu River......"
Zhuo Qun, who was tasting foie gras with bread, involuntarily interrupted her.
"I'll take care of my children's schooling. You don't have to ask. ”
Unexpectedly, Jin Meixi was the first to be angry, and she put down the fork that had just been inserted into a piece of salmon.
"What are you talking about? I'm the mother of a child, so of course I have to ask about such things. Why don't you understand the importance of choosing a school? Many of the schools in England are the children of high-ranking officials. If the Americans run Shang Ruike, it would be worse, where most of them are the children of wealthy businessmen. For us, there is no shortage of money, and the integration of the next generation into the political circle is of course more important than entering the business circle. ”
"But the child is only in elementary school. Zhuo Qun frowned. "Is it necessary to think about this? I only care if my daughter is happy. It's a big deal that I run my own school, so let Zhuo Yue study on Qinhuangdao. She didn't have to leave the manor at all. ”
"Oh my God! You're stupid to think so! It's time for her to get out of that zoo and go back to normal human society. I'm telling you, I went abroad to study at the age of twelve. You have no idea how important a prestigious school gathering the powerful is to a person's future......"
"yes, of course I don't know, I didn't even finish college. How would I know?"
"Oh, why do you deliberately raise the bar! Not everyone can be like you. A one-of-a-kind genius. We, as parents, must think about our children's future......"
"The child's future is to become an equestrian champion, and Zhuo Yue's genius is in the equestrian arena. It seems that you really don't know anything about children. You've seen her ride a horse, haven't you? This is how you learned from your family? indifferent to children, just thinking about sending her away, throwing her to strangers?" said Zhuo Qun angrily.
And Kim Mi-hee also glared at this.
"Are you accusing me? My homeschooling has nothing to do with you. ”
"But Zhuo Yue's family education method is related to me. ”
"Then you should want her to have a good education from the beginning. Even ordinary children still know how to win at the starting line......"
Her voice stopped abruptly because the waiter saw that both of them were no longer eating.
And their plates are almost empty.
He came and took away the empty plate on the table.
At the same time, ask the two of them what dessert they need.
When he went back to preparing, the conversation between Zhuo Qun and his wife was resumed.
"I hope you can think more comprehensively for your child and how to make her grow up healthier. I understand your expectations, but you also have to understand that Zhuo Yue is not an ordinary person. She will never be able to spend all my wealth. In fact, she just needs to do what she likes......"
Zhuo Qun forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction and patiently explained.
But his efforts were still in vain, and before he could finish speaking, Kim Meixi interrupted him stiffly.
"For God's sake, why haven't you learned your lesson? If the great wealth was enough, you wouldn't have married me. Each of us understands what our marriage is. That's why I did this because I wanted our daughter to be rich forever. Did you know that in RB, junior high school has already chosen a good partner to marry? Times are always changing, and we will gradually develop like this, of course, it is necessary to arrange everything in advance......"
But these words were so angry in Zhuo Qun's ears that he almost wanted to scold the street.
"This ...... This is your real intention and purpose, I will never allow Zhuo Yue's life to become like yours. will not let her wronged herself and please anyone. It will not let her be eroded by power and desire. Whoever wants to meddle in her future, deprives her of her free future, even if he is the head of a country!
Saying these words with a vicious attitude, Zhuo Qun stood up and continued to ridicule without hesitation.
"Kim Mi-hee, I don't think you deserve to be a mother at all. At least not worthy of being my daughter's mother. However, out of gratitude to you for giving birth to Zhuo Yue, I think it is necessary to remind you, don't reach out and touch my bottom line. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it! That's it, you still stay here, don't go back with me. I'm sick to my stomach, but I hope you still have the appetite for dessert. ”
Then, there was no further delay.
Just in the stunned gaze of the waiter with the almond pudding.
Zhuo Qun, a civilized person who did not scold a dirty word, elegantly threw down the dinner cloth and walked away with his head held high.
He didn't go back to his room, and called the driver directly and drove back overnight.
He needed to see his daughter in order to suppress his anger.
As for his wife, Kim Mi-hee, of course, fell into extremely angry negative emotions because of the embarrassment and embarrassment in public.
And she also got on a plane overnight and flew to Shanghai.
If nothing else, she had to shop and spend a lot of money in the magic capital to dissolve the anger in her belly.
