21-My Love
Cao Mu's house is on the far left of the townhouse. It is 180 square meters and has two floors. It has four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It is very delicately decorated. Yin Xu took them to visit upstairs and downstairs. It was the first time came to the leader's house, and Min Hui was a bit cramped, but Zhou Ruji was a familiar one. She saw a few pieces of furniture in the living room and asked Yin Xu where she bought it from. Then he took a fancy to his refrigerator and washing machine, and asked how the performance was, and Yin Xu answered them one by one.
"Mr. Yin—"
"Call me Yin Xu."
"Yin Xu, do you like to play tennis?" Zhou Ruji curiously looked at a photo on the wall, where Yin Xu was holding a tennis racket.
"I'm a tennis player. I used to be in the provincial team, but I was injured and retired."
"Then where are you working now?" Min Hui asked.
"I worked as a tennis coach in a club for a few years, and then resigned. We have two children, and Cao Mu couldn't take care of them at all, so I took care of everything at home and let her concentrate on her work." Yin Xu patted with a smile. Patting the flour on the apron, "It's mainly because she earns more than me. If I go to work and she quits, our family will have to sleep on the street."
Min Hui was slightly surprised. Among the men she knew, no one dared to admit that he was a full-time dad, let alone one who confessed so frankly and calmly as Yin Xu.
"Ha, when you say that, I'm too scared to have children," Zhou Ruji couldn't help but glance at Min Hui, "Really? There are so many things at home with two children?"
"That's not it. I won't talk about 24-hour time with my baby. Let's talk about it now: my son has swimming, painting, basketball, violin and taekwondo classes every week, and my daughter has piano classes, recitation classes. class, gymnastics class, ballet class and badminton class. At different times and places, they were sent out to study and picked up after dinner in the evening, and it was past nine o’clock. Cao Mu originally wanted them to take the same class, I Take it easy, but the two kids don’t do it at all, because their interests are completely different, and we, as parents, can’t be partial, so we have to be satisfied with everything.” Yin Xu sighed, “Fortunately, I’m an athlete, running I don't feel tired even when I run around."
Min Hui asked with a smile, "Then you and President Cao met at the tennis club, didn't you?"
"Yes. I taught her tennis. Don't look at her short stature and can't run fast. She has good comprehension and can learn it as soon as she learns it. Don't call Mr. Cao at home, call it Sister Cao." Yin Xu smiled and called them He led him to the sofa in the living room and sat down, pouring each person a glass of juice, "This is freshly squeezed watermelon juice, drink more. Cao Mu will be here soon. I have the last two dishes, and it will be ready in ten minutes."
Zhou Ruji immediately said, "Shall I help?"
"No, no, the vegetables are all cut and ready to cook." Yin Xu turned around and went to the kitchen. After a while, the range hood rumbled loudly.
Min Hui looked around, looked at the crystal lamp on the ceiling, and sighed, "Don't say, Sister Cao Mu's taste is really not bad. How much does such a large crystal chandelier cost? A few thousand yuan?"
"It's more than a few thousand yuan," Zhou Ruji said in a low voice, "don't look far from the city center, because the school district is good, and the house price is not much cheaper at all. A set of real estate like this costs more than nine million yuan, if there is only one in the family If people make money, the mortgage pressure is still quite big.”
"Maybe their parents are rich and give a down payment or something."
"Cao Mu's hometown is in the countryside and has no money."
"Ah, Zhou Ruji," Min Hui patted him, "how do you know everything?"
"Yang Beibei said it."
"Then maybe Yin Xu's family is rich?"
"It's possible." Zhou Ruji nodded, "Look at the furniture he bought, each of which is a piece of furniture, and none of them are common goods. Even the toilet paper shelves in the toilet are carved."
"You even went in the toilet to check?"
"Just take a look." Zhou Ruji took a sip of watermelon juice and said, "This Yin Xu looks like a child who grew up in a rich family."
"How did you see that?"
"If I stayed at home all day like he did without work, I would be ashamed to live. Look at him, introducing himself as a stay-at-home dad is as proud as introducing himself as a Wimbledon tennis champion! No discomfort at all, The attitude is still so unrestrained, and it doesn't seem to be pretending. Obviously, making money has no place in his heart." After saying this, Zhou Ruji's arm naturally fell on Min Hui's shoulder, and he looked at her At a glance, he pulled her into his arms, noticed that Min Hui's body was very hard, and let go of it knowingly.
"Zhou Ruji, I think you are a bit gossipy."
"I can't be a full-time dad, at least I have to be a woman's friend, right?" He grinned and looked at her mischievously, "I'm trying to control myself not to talk about the lymph node metastasis of breast cancer... It seemed like the only thing we wanted to talk about."
Min Hui immediately took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen: "Then let's talk about lymph node metastasis."
"Really chatting? It's too unpleasant, isn't it?"
"I like to hear it. Anyway, I'm going to do this soon. It's good to be familiar with medical knowledge first. It's better to ask you than to teach yourself."
Zhou Ruji looked frustrated.
"What do you mean by metastatic breast cancer first?"
Zhou Ruji scratched his nails and said, "This is a metastatic tumor. Cancer cells leave the original tissue and travel to other parts of the body through the circulation and lymphatic system, forming new tumors. It's difficult to detect medically. There is a 60 percent chance of missing small metastases on individual slides just by looking at the pathologist."
"So AI needs to step in?"
"Yes, if AI technology can detect these signs of metastasis, it can greatly improve the early detection rate of breast cancer." Speaking of professional Zhou Ruji, he immediately gushed, "You must know that the incidence of breast cancer in Chinese is lower than that in Western countries. National, but the growth rate is the first in the world. Last year, there were more than 270,000 new cases of female breast cancer in the country, and more than 60,000 deaths. The incidence rate rose rapidly after the age of 20, and reached a peak at the age of 55… …”
Min Hui couldn't help but glance at her towering chest.
"Do you need me to check it for you?" Zhou Ruji looked at her with a half smile.
"Go." Min Hui gave him a white look, and was about to ask again when the door suddenly opened, and Cao Mu entered the entrance with his two children. He didn't see anyone, so he heard his voice first: "Mylove, have all the guests arrived?"
"I'm sitting in the living room. The dishes are all ready." Yin Xu said in the kitchen, "It's time for dinner."
Zhou Ruji and Min Hui looked at each other and smiled, no one expected that Cao Mu would call her husband so disgusting at home. When she saw her two children, she couldn't help cheering for Cao Mu. Both boys and girls are beautiful, with big eyes, fair skin, and Yin Xu's genes in both appearance and figure, and there is no trace of Cao Mu at all.
"I'm sorry for being ten minutes late," Cao Mu took off his jacket and came over to say hello, "These are my two children, the eldest Yin Di, who is seven years old this year, and the second child Yin Ning, who is five years old this year." Both children were very active. , After calling the uncle and aunt, they jokingly ran to the bathroom to wash their hands.
Everyone went to the restaurant to sit together, four adults and two children, five dishes and one soup, all meat and vegetables, among which was a plate of squirrel mandarin fish cut with a cross knife and poured bright red with tomato juice, and the rest were home-cooked dishes. : Green pepper shredded pork, Mapo tofu, shredded cabbage, dried bamboo shoots and bacon - plus a large pot of light and refreshing dried shrimp and winter melon soup.
Min Hui mainly sells three meals a day in Bincheng, and she almost never goes to the vegetable market. She hadn't eaten decent home-cooked food for a long time, and she couldn't help but eat two bowls. Although Cao Mu's family is the wife and the husband, the husband and wife are not at all unwilling or unhappy because of this "dislocation". Instead, they understand each other and cooperate tacitly, which makes Min Hui very envious.
After dinner, Yin Xu took the child to the second floor, and Cao Mu invited Min Hui and Zhou Ruji to the living room. After a couple of greetings, he said, "The AI medical care market has been very hot in the past two years, and there have been many bubbles. Hospitals, universities, Internet, start-up companies, and medical device companies have all started projects in this area. Although everyone has their own priorities, there are many overlapping parts. Although Bai'an is a small company, it is still a small company. Be meticulous. Today I went to the headquarters to chat with the bosses. Everyone thinks that the current business of Bai'an is still mainly based on the AI medical image analysis platform, and has developed a single-disease fist product, striving to be the best in the industry. For example — breast cancer screening. Then move on to other diseases: nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, brain cancer…even retinal, cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s can be done.”
Min Hui thought to herself, Cao Mu's remarks can obviously be left in the company's meeting, why should he say it at home for dinner.
Just listen to Cao Mu continue: "As far as I know, there are five or six big competitors in the field of AI imaging breast cancer screening, and many of them like Yunying Technology and Shenjing Medical have reached the B round of financing. There are also industry giants such as Guanchao International and Dongli Group. The advantage of Bai'an is data, but now it is becoming more and more limited. After all, it started with hardware, and it does not pay enough attention to software. The reason is also It's very simple: AI image analysis has just become popular, how to integrate upstream and downstream, how to solve practical clinical problems - these are still inconclusive. Just like a six or seven-year-old child, everyone knows that there is a future, but the child has not grown up yet. No one knows what happened next.”
"After the heat is over, one or two batches of these companies are always going to die." Zhou Ruji said with a smile.
"That's right, there are not many startup companies that have survived the C round." Cao Mu nodded, "I specially invited you here today, just to talk about this direction, to see how difficult it is and how long it will take. Time, I can plan it here. Because like Min Hui, I have limited knowledge about medicine and urgently need supplementary courses. Ru Ji, I heard that your university has also opened an AI medical research group this year. Can you tell us about research trends and key findings?"
"Hey, Mr. Cao—" Zhou Ruji couldn't help but complain, "I and Min Hui came to you, are you really here to talk about work?
"Yup."
"Then why don't you stop us and have a small meeting when you get off work? Why bother your brother-in-law to make such a big table of dishes?"
"Talking at home, eating and drinking, wouldn't the atmosphere be better?"
Min Hui: "..."
Zhou Ruji: "..."
As a result, the three of them chatted about breast cancer for two hours in the living room, and then Min Hui and Zhou Ruji got up to say goodbye.
After getting in the car, Zhou Ruji asked, "There is a takoyaki in the mall in front of you that does a good job. Let's go shopping?"
Min Hui asked in surprise, "Aren't you full yet?"
"We got married on Tuesday. We have to go shopping and scrambling along the road, right? Otherwise, isn't it a bit too hasty?"
Min Hui thinks so too. What's more, Yin Xu's food was too low for her to eat. She was too tired to eat and wanted to eat loose, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Although she lived in Ben Thanh for a while, Min Hui's activities are limited to about five kilometers near the company. don't know much about the west of the city where Cao Mu lives, but only know that there are many high-end shopping centers in this area. But Zhou Ruji was obviously very familiar with this area, holding her hand to shuttle freely among the crowd.
"There are many brand stores on the second floor, do you like Chanel or Gucci?"
"I've heard of it but never bought it."
"Go and have a look."
Min Hui grabbed him: "Forget it, let's just go to the snack bar."
"No. You have to register soon. I didn't even give you a decent present. I'm so embarrassed." After saying that, he dragged her up to the second floor and into Chanel's counter.
"This black and gold medium leather Leboy is very versatile." The waitress graciously handed her a sample, "Miss, you will definitely like it."
Min Hui tried it with her back on her back, and made a few poses in front of Zhou Ruji.
"That's it." Zhou Ruji took out her credit card and was about to pay at the counter when she noticed that Min Hui's body suddenly stopped moving, as if there was a wolf behind her, and it was as if she had seen a ghost.
He handed the credit card to the waiter, and heard footsteps behind him. A tall man walked to the counter and said to another waiter, "I want this suit, please pack it for me, and These shoes, thank you."
His voice was low and pleasant, and after finishing the bill, he left quickly.
Zhou Ruji didn't see his face clearly, only knew that he was wearing a light gray windbreaker, tall and straight, and calm. He watched the man in the trench coat enter the elevator, and then walked to Min Hui's side with the shopping bag. Seeing that she was still in shock, he gently patted her shoulder and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Min Hui smiled unnaturally and shook her head.
"If you guessed correctly, he is Cheng Qirang, right?"
