The village beauty and me!

After discussing the basement issue, Xu Jiaojiao pressed on to inquire about Chen Huan's plans for running the hospital.

Chen Huan scratched his head. "Tomorrow, one of my friends who knows medicine will come here to take charge."

"You just need to assist her. Like I said, as long as you're loyal to me, you definitely won't suffer any losses."

"As for how to run this hospital in the future, let my friend decide."

Xu Jiaojiao blinked, "I'm sure I'll listen to you and help your friend."

"But the problem is, almost no one comes to this hospital now. If the status quo continues without any change, it's as if it's abandoned."

"You can't just rely on that vague treasure in the basement; what if it doesn't work out?"

"We spent two million in real money, and we still have to support so many people. We can't just stop generating income."

Chen Huan was too embarrassed to tell the other party that he had impulsively bought the hospital just to please a woman and to fulfill a promise.

Whether I make money or not is irrelevant.

After a few casual words of comfort, the conversation drifted off into something else entirely.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Huan decided to go back to the village first and tell Zhao Liping the good news.

However, before that, Chen Huan made a phone call and brought the fat man over.

Sun Changsheng, another capable lieutenant of hers, is currently assisting Zhao Yaru's people in building the factory.

The only one I can trust and who has the ability is Fatty.

The fat man was already getting bored staying in that restaurant and was looking forward to finding something new to do.

Upon learning that his good friend Chen Huan had actually bought a hospital and become its director, the fat man's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Damn, Huan-ge, you're amazing!"

"Now he's a hospital director, I really envy him."

Chen Huan smiled. "From now on, you're the vice dean. How about it? Happy?"

The fat man grinned. "Right now, I only care about one thing: you called me over in such a hurry, is there some business?"

The fat man is quite shrewd.

He knew that Chen Huan would never separate him and Qiao Lingling unless absolutely necessary, in order to try to bring them together.

If they've come, it must be for something important.

Chen Huan frankly recounted the situation regarding Han Hong, including the basement incident.

The fat man's eyes immediately lit up. "I understand, Brother Huan."

"From now on, I'll eat, drink, and relieve myself all in this hospital. If it really doesn't work, I might as well move to the basement entrance."

"By the way, are the nurses here pretty?"

Chen Huan kicked him. "You bastard, you've only been dating Qiao Lingling for a few days, and your old habits are back?"

"Manager Qiao has a notoriously bad temper. Aren't you afraid of getting caught philandering and losing your life?"

The fat man grinned, "In this regard, I definitely need to learn from Brother Huan and try my best to achieve harmony and safety."

Then they changed the subject, saying, "Since there are good things underground, let's not delay."

"If all else fails, I'll get a few experts over here to see if they can crack that security door."

"If all else fails, just drill a hole in the wall."

Chen Huan shook his head. "We don't know much about the specifics right now, so let's not alert them."

"No rush, just wait a couple of days."

"As far as I know, the exposed walls are all load-bearing walls. If you dig them up indiscriminately, you might destroy the buildings on the ground."

"If something goes wrong, the losses will outweigh the gains."

The fat man agreed and assured Chen Huan that he would not act rashly before receiving his instructions.

By the time Chen Huan got home, it was already dark.

At the dinner table, Chen Huan told Zhao Liping that he had already fulfilled her wish.

However, he didn't elaborate on how he bought the town hospital, just to give Zhao Liping a surprise.

"So fast?" Zhao Liping was surprised when she received the news, but then her surprise turned into extreme excitement.

They couldn't wait to go to town and take a look.

"What time is it? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"I'll take you there then," Chen Huan replied while eating.

Zhao Liping obediently agreed, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Get a good night's sleep tonight."

Chen Huan noticed that Zhao Liping's gaze towards him was clearly suggestive and provocative.

This so-called "getting a good night's sleep" definitely refers to something else.

So he began to look forward to the scene of Zhao Liping coming to find him alone after it got completely dark.

After dinner, while his sister-in-law Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping were washing dishes in the kitchen, Chen Huan's phone started ringing.

After answering the phone, a familiar voice came through, "Chen Huan, are you home?"

"If you're in the village, come to my place."

"Village Chief Xu?" Chen Huan blinked.

At this moment, he was still thinking about his relationship with Zhao Liping and had no idea why Xu Huifang was looking for him so late at night.

Then, he casually asked, "Did you need something?"

Xu Huifang lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard, "Yes, it's about the mineral water factory, you understand..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He lowered his voice again and said, "You wouldn't actually be planning to reward me, would you?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft "Mm".

This one word was worth more than a thousand words, and it made Chen Huan's heart flutter with joy.

Xu Huifang had previously stated that as long as Chen Huan could resolve the issue of those wicked capitalists within two days and drive them away, he would receive corresponding benefits from him.

Chen Huan has completed the task in just one day, which is equivalent to exceeding the target, and he deserves a reward.

Chen Huan didn't expect that Xu Huifang would actually keep her word.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess.

After hanging up the phone, I greeted my sister-in-law in the kitchen and told her I was going out for a walk.

Then he slipped out the door and headed to Xu Huifang's place under the cover of night.

Xu Huifang's courtyard gate was ajar, but Chen Huan opened it with a gentle push.

Chen Huan could vaguely see figures moving inside the room, and he even coughed lightly on purpose.

The intention was to remind the other person that I had arrived, so as to avoid any awkwardness.

As soon as he turned around and closed the gate, he suddenly noticed that the lights in the house, which had been on, were now off.

"What does that mean?"

"We haven't even seen the person yet, why isn't the light on?" Chen Huan stood in the courtyard, completely bewildered.

I don't understand what Xu Huifang is up to.

Perhaps because the wait had been too long, Xu Huifang, who was inside, said somewhat impatiently, "Since you're already here, why don't you come inside?"

"Don't you want the reward I promised you anymore?"

Chen Huan swallowed hard. "Yes, of course I want it."

After saying that, he went straight into the inner room.

It was still pitch black inside.

But Chen Huan could roughly sense that there was a person lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) not far away.

The room was filled with a unique, virginal fragrance.

"Hurry up..."
