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

Chen Ping sat down in the chair, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he recalled what had just happened.

Seeing that Chen Ping remained silent, Zhao Guosheng became somewhat uneasy and quickly asked, "Dr. Chen, what's wrong? You look quite frightening."

"Dean Zhao, what do you think of the vice president and experts from the province?"

Chen Ping asked.

"How could I possibly think anything of it? Anyway, they all seem much more authoritative than our local health center, and they're all so domineering."

Zhao Guosheng said.

"I suspect that this vice president and expert are all fake, all swindlers in disguise," Chen Ping said.

"What?" Zhao Guosheng jumped to his feet, his face full of surprise. "Dr. Chen, you can't just say things like that."

"I'm not making this up, I just saw..."

Chen Ping recounted what he had just witnessed.

He recounted in detail everything: scalping products, using elderly people's phones to make them open their mouths and blink, and Vice President Sun blocking the doorway to explain that it was "promotion of products to benefit the people."

After listening, Zhao Guosheng's face slowly darkened. After a few seconds, he spoke: "Now that you mention it, something is indeed wrong. Free medical consultation is free medical consultation, and selling things is selling things; they are two different things."

"I've worked in the health center for over twenty years and have also done free clinics in villages. I've never seen anyone try to sell things during a free clinic, let alone use an elderly person's phone to operate it. Should we call the police?"

"It's too early to call the police now. What if they really are from the provincial capital? If we've made a mistake, it will be embarrassing later."

Chen Ping shook his head.

"What should we do? At first, I also felt that things were going too smoothly. The vice president of the provincial academy personally came to our remote mountain village to coordinate, and he made the decision right away and came the next day without any detours."

"If it's really a scam, they're incredibly audacious to even go to the township government to make contact?" Zhao Guosheng said, frowning.

Chen Ping said, "These days, scammers are rampant. I saw a news report on TV last time about someone impersonating a military or political cadre to take someone from the police station. We should verify the identities of these people first."

"Yes, let's verify his identity first." Zhao Guosheng nodded, then called out, "Wang Tao, Wang Tao, come here for a moment."

Hearing Zhao Guosheng shout, Wang Tao rushed into the office. "Dean, what's wrong?"

Zhao Guosheng said, "Go online and check if there's a female vice president in the Third People's Hospital of the province surnamed Sun, around fifty years old."

"Why are you checking this?" Wang Tao was taken aback.

"Just investigate when I tell you to, why are you making such a fuss?" Chen Ping glared at Wang Tao.

"Investigate, I'll investigate right now..."

Wang Tao took out his phone, typed a line in the search bar, and started searching. After a moment, he looked up and said, "Dean, there is indeed a vice dean surnamed Sun, a woman in her fifties."

"Do you have any photos?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yes, but they're not very clear, and they're all photoshopped or beautified, so they definitely don't look like real people."

As Wang Tao spoke, he showed his phone to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked at it and found that the description matched perfectly, but the photo looked somewhat similar, yet not quite.

Many of these ID photos don't look like the real person, so Chen Ping is now unsure what to do.

The identities match, but whether the person matches is uncertain.

Zhao Guosheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Ping and said, "Dr. Chen, why don't you go to the township government and verify with Secretary Zhang to see if this free clinic is officially organized by the province?"

"If the township government did receive official documents and the province did organize this free clinic, then these people are genuine experts. Their private sales pitches are just personal actions and are a different matter."

"But if the township government can't explain the origins of these people either, that's a different story."

Zhao Guosheng dared not take any risks, and now he could only push the matter to the township government.

We'll verify with the township government when the time comes. If something goes wrong, the township government will take responsibility.

If these people are really swindlers, then it's the township government that's been fooled, not me.

I have fulfilled my duty of review.

At Zhao Guosheng's age, with only a few years left before retirement, he doesn't seek merit, but only to avoid making mistakes!

"Okay, I'll go find Secretary Zhang and ask about the situation."

Chen Ping stood up, took off his white coat and tossed it to Wang Tao, then opened the office door and walked out.

When Chen Ping arrived at the township government, Zhang Jianmin was standing in the courtyard talking to a village official, a cigarette between his fingers.

Seeing Chen Ping approach, he stubbed out his cigarette, said something to the village official, and turned to greet him.

"Dr. Chen, you're such a busy person, how come you have time to come to the government office?"

Zhang Jianmin asked with a smile.

"Secretary Zhang, there are some things I need to report to you about. Do you have time?"

Chen Ping said with a solemn expression.

Seeing Chen Ping's serious expression, Zhang Jianmin knew the matter was serious, so he nodded: "Come to my office when you have time."

Chen Ping followed Zhang Jianmin to the office on the second floor. As soon as the door closed, Chen Ping eagerly asked, "Secretary Zhang, has the township government received the relevant documents from the province regarding this free medical consultation by provincial experts?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Zhang Jianmin frowned.

After all, these are matters for the township government, which are government secrets, especially those involving official documents.

Although Chen Ping was a doctor at the health center and the two had a good personal relationship, this kind of thing was not something Chen Ping should inquire about or know.

"Secretary Zhang, I suspect that the vice president and experts in this province are all fake."

So Chen Ping explained the situation in detail.

The medical experts at the free clinic were selling physiotherapy devices and magnetic pillows to the elderly in the consultation room. They even took the elderly people's mobile phones to scan a QR code and made them open their mouths, shake their heads, and blink, which was obviously to help them apply for loans or something similar.

He also subtly inquired with Vice President Sun, who said it was about promoting products that benefit the people, but something just didn't seem right.

After listening, Zhang Jianmin frowned deeply, sat down behind his desk, and remained silent for a while before speaking: "The township has not received any official documents from the province."

Chen Ping paused for a moment, "Then what did you tell me yesterday...?"

"The document I told you about yesterday was brought by Vice Dean Sun himself."

As Zhang Jianmin spoke, he took out a document from his drawer. "This is the document that Vice President Sun brought. It's stamped with the seal of the Provincial Health Commission."

"At the time, I thought it was a good thing, providing free medical care to the elderly in the village, and the experts came from the province, so I didn't think about anything else."

"Moreover, I never imagined that someone would dare to impersonate the vice president of the provincial hospital and even forge the official seal. Who would be so bold?"

After hearing this, Chen Ping felt even more on edge.

A man claiming to be the vice president of the provincial hospital brought a document that bypassed the county and city levels and was directly handed to the deputy secretary of the township. The next day, he drove a truckload of goods into the township health center.

This tactic is all too familiar.

"Secretary Zhang, judging from the current situation, these people are undoubtedly swindlers," Chen Ping said with certainty.
