Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

Su Meng stood on the periphery of the crowd, her hands in her trench coat pockets, her face radiant with a light that Chen Ping hadn't seen in a long time.

She glanced at Chen Ping, then said to Dean Ma, "In a health center with such a lack of medical equipment, being able to save a pregnant woman with amniotic fluid embolism is simply a miracle. Not to mention in the province, there should be very few cases like this in the whole country."

"This should be a major example in our city. I will go back and arrange for the bureau to prepare a special report and submit it to the Provincial Health Department."

"Yes, yes, we are also preparing to submit materials to the city. We will definitely use it as a typical case and spread it throughout the entire health system." Dean Ma nodded repeatedly.

The smile on Su Meng's face never faded after she left the ward.

She walked beside Chen Ping, glanced at him several times before speaking, her voice carrying a faint sense of emotion.

"You even saved me from amniotic fluid embolism. What have you been up to during your time at the health center? I'm starting to understand you less and less."

Su Meng and Chen Ping were classmates and husband and wife. Having been together for so many years, Su Meng naturally understood Chen Ping's medical skills.

But now, she feels increasingly unfamiliar with Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't respond to that, but simply said, "It was a coincidence."

Su Meng didn't say anything more.

When the group returned to the courtyard, the sun had already begun to set. It gets dark early in the mountains, and if they didn't continue on the mountain path soon, it would be difficult to drive.

Dean Ma shook hands with Chen Ping to say goodbye several times, then exchanged a few polite words with Su Meng before getting into the car with his group.

"Dr. Chen, you should prepare these next couple of days. I expect a reporter from the county TV station will be coming to interview you tomorrow, and you'll also be going to the county to give a report."

Just as they got on the bus, Dean Ma remembered something and gave Chen Ping a word of advice.

"Huh? There are reporters covering this?" Chen Ping frowned. "Can we not have them?"

"County Chief Fang personally called the county TV station; there was no way to refuse."

After Dean Ma finished speaking, he closed the car door and left without giving Chen Ping a chance to speak.

"Sigh..." Chen Ping sighed helplessly as he watched the car drive away.

He's not someone who likes fame or being in the spotlight, but once the TV station interviews him, he'll definitely never have peace and quiet again.

The courtyard fell silent.

Su Meng glanced at Chen Ping, who was sighing, and gently comforted him, "You've always been like this all these years. You're more capable than anyone else, but you're always humble. But if you don't climb the ladder, no one will see you."

"If such a case exists in our city, it's unacceptable for it to remain unknown within the entire provincial health system. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty for us health system staff. Moreover, whether it's the township, county, or city, this one case could potentially earn us commendations from higher authorities."

"I don't want any reward." Chen Ping frowned slightly.

He came to the Siping Township Health Center because he wanted peace and quiet and wanted to use his medical skills to treat and save lives for the local people.

If he wanted any reward, fame, or money, he wouldn't have been removed from his position as head of the purchasing department.

Su Meng knew what Chen Ping was thinking, so she continued, "This opportunity is not easy to come by. Don't think that giving a report is just a formality, and don't always think that showing your face is vanity."

"If you can use this publicity to let the city or even the province see the conditions of our Siping Township Health Center, it might be easier to get funding subsidies and support for Siping Township Health Center then."

Su Meng paused, and seeing that Chen Ping no longer objected, she softened her voice, "I understand that you're not the kind of person who would enthusiastically support someone. When we divorced, you left with nothing and never coveted any reputation."

"But you can't keep relying on Cui Ying's father's sponsorship to support this health center and build any kind of medical center. His money is a favor, not an obligation. Besides, this kind of public welfare is a bottomless pit. Without government support, how long can Cui Ying's father help you?"

Su Meng, having served as the deputy director of the Health Bureau for several years, certainly had a more comprehensive understanding of things than Chen Ping.

Chen Ping stared blankly at Su Meng. Her work at the Health Bureau over the past few years had indeed made Su Meng much more mature.

Chen Ping knew that Su Meng was right; relying on personal sponsorship was not a long-term solution for a health center to operate stably.

It needs government support and public attention to operate more successfully.

"Okay, I'll get ready." Chen Ping nodded, having figured it out.

"It's good that you've figured it out." After saying that, Su Meng walked to her car and opened the door. "It's getting late, I have to go back, otherwise it will be dark and the mountain roads will be difficult to travel."

"Drive slowly on the road," Chen Ping said.

"Director Su, take care..." Zhao Guosheng waved to Su Meng.

Su Meng nodded, started the car, and slowly drove out of the health center.

Su Meng drove very slowly, looking at Chen Ping in the rearview mirror. She wished Chen Ping would call out to her at that moment.

I so wish Chen Ping cared about her safety and let her stay here for the night...

But Chen Ping didn't move, nor did he shout...

Su Meng's car drove further and further away, until it disappeared from sight after turning a corner.

"Alright, it's almost time to get off work, everyone get back to work."

Zhao Guosheng glanced at his watch, waved to the crowd, and said.

At this moment, Li Fang ran out of the pharmacy, carrying a bag.

"Dean, I need to ask for leave..." Li Fang said.

"It's almost time to get off work, why are you asking for leave? Did something happen at home?" Zhao Guosheng asked, looking puzzled.

"Nothing happened. I'm going to the hair salon to get my hair done."

As Li Fang spoke, she took out the keys to her electric scooter.

"Why can't you get your hair done anytime? Why do you have to take time off now?" Zhao Guosheng glared at Li Fang. "I won't take time off..."

Li Fang ignored Zhao Guosheng, got on the electric bike, and turned on the ignition.

"We're coming to the TV station for an interview tomorrow; we're going to be on TV, so I need to fix my hair."

After Li Fang finished speaking, she rode away on her electric scooter.

"Li Fang, Li Fang…………"

Zhao Guosheng called out twice, but Li Fang had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile. "Dean, it's almost time to get off work. Fang Jie can go ahead and leave. Someone will get the medicine; I'll go to the pharmacy to cover for her."

"Dean, I also want to leave a little earlier. I need to get my hair cut. It would be so embarrassing if my messy hair appeared on TV and my relatives and friends saw it."

Wang Tao, standing to the side, also asked for leave along with Zhao Guosheng.

Zhao Guosheng looked helpless, glanced at his watch, and then waved his hand, saying, "That's it for today. Finish up your patients and go home."

"The dean is so nice!" Wang Tao said, then got on his bicycle and rode away.

Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo didn't stay for dinner either, but left in a hurry, probably thinking of going home to get ready, since they had never been on TV before.

"Dr. Chen, please make your rounds in a bit and lock all the consultation room doors. I also need to go home and take a shower."

After giving his instructions, Zhao Guosheng left.

Chen Ping laughed. He, the subject of the interview, didn't seem to feel anything yet, but everyone else was getting nervous.
