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

Dean Liu genuinely wanted to keep Chen Ping.

Such cutting-edge medical talent is truly rare and hard to find.

It's not true that a high salary guarantees access to such a miraculous doctor.

A pair of eyes is more powerful than any instrument.

Chen Ping shook his head. "Dean Liu, I came with Elder Song. Elder Song is still waiting at the retirement home. I can't stay behind by myself."

"It was purely by chance that I saw this patient today. If you have any cases you're unsure about in the future, feel free to call me anytime. If it can be explained over the phone, then we'll talk over; if not, I'll come to your office."

"Once our two families sign the agreement, we'll be one family. I'll be at your service anytime."

Dean Liu was very pleased with what Chen Ping said.

"Yes, I will urge the National Health Commission to complete the procedures as soon as possible."

As Dean Liu spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, "This is my personal number, it's on 24/7."

"If the health center needs any coordination from the Provincial People's Hospital in the future, just call me directly. As for the five million yuan aid plan from yesterday, I'll go back and work with the finance department to finalize it and get the money disbursed as soon as possible."

Chen Ping took the business card and put it in his pocket, then shook hands with Dean Liu and said a few words of farewell.

Dean Liu instructed the driver to take Chen Ping back to the retirement home. By the time the car left the gate of the Provincial People's Hospital, the sun was already high overhead, illuminating the plane trees lining the streets.

Chen Ping leaned back in the back seat, looking out the window at the buildings and traffic passing by, marveling at the fast pace of the big city.

However, Chen Ping prefers the leisurely pace of life in Siping Township, with its mountains and rivers.

The car stopped at the entrance of the retirement home, and Chen Ping got out and walked inside.

Old Song was already sitting on a bench downstairs, with a cup of tea next to him. The tea was almost dry, so it looked like he had been sitting there for a while.

Seeing Chen Ping return, he stood up and placed his teacup on the bench. "You're back? How's things at the hospital?"

"Fortunately, the lesion has been found and the diagnosis has been confirmed."

Chen Ping briefly explained the situation.

"That's good. Jianye called me. I know that with you involved, I'll definitely be able to resolve this."

Old Song patted Chen Ping on the shoulder, "Let's go then, it's time to go back. Old Zhao's matter has been arranged, Dean Li wouldn't dare to lie to him. We've finished everything we needed to do in the provincial capital."

"Old Song, it's already noon, aren't you going to have lunch?" Chen Ping looked up at the sun and said.

"I'm not eating. I'll just find a service area along the way and grab something to eat. It'll take several hours to get back, and the mountain roads will be difficult to navigate after dark."

"Old Song said."

"Okay, I'll go pack..."

Chen Ping went back to his room to pack his things.

When he came downstairs, Li Jizhong was already waiting by the car, carrying a briefcase, just like when he arrived.

Chen Ping got into the driver's seat, Old Song sat in the back, and Li Jizhong sat in the passenger seat. The car started and drove out of the sanatorium gate, merging into the midday traffic of the provincial capital.

Once on the highway, the road conditions were much smoother than on the way there, and the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from tall buildings to fields and distant gray-blue mountain shadows.

Old Song sat in the back row with his eyes closed, occasionally opening them to look out the window.

Li Jizhong leaned back in the passenger seat, scrolled through his phone for a while, then put it away and turned to chat with Chen Ping for a few minutes.

They stopped at a service area, grabbed a quick bite, and continued on their way.

The car exited the highway at the Tianhai City exit, and it was already past 3 p.m.

Chen Ping dropped Li Jizhong off at an intersection near the municipal government, waved goodbye, and continued driving towards Siping Township.

As we left Tianhai City, the mountain roads twisted and turned, the sun slowly slanted to the west, and the mountain shadows outside the car window became increasingly familiar.

It was getting dark when Chen Ping finally took Old Song home.

Old Song then arranged for a driver to take Chen Ping back to the Siping Township Health Center.

When Chen Ping returned to the health center, it was already completely dark.

The lights at the entrance of the health center were on, and the warm yellow light illuminated the words "Siping Township Health Center" on the gate clearly.

He pushed open the gate and went inside. The courtyard was filled with the aroma of food. The lights in the canteen were on, and through the windows, he could see several figures sitting around a large round table.

Liu Mazi was squatting at the entrance of the guardhouse, shoveling rice into his mouth. Seeing Chen Ping enter, he nearly dropped his chopsticks. He quickly stood up and called out, "Dr. Chen's back! Have you eaten? The cafeteria just opened, hurry up!"

Chen Ping nodded and walked towards the cafeteria.

When the cafeteria door was opened, everyone at the table looked up.

Wang Tao was the first to stand up. He put his chopsticks on the table, ran to the kitchen in a few quick steps, took a clean set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in the seat where Chen usually sat. He also brought a bowl of rice and placed it next to the bowl.

"Master, why are you back so late? Have you eaten? Please sit down, the food is still warm!"

He pulled the chair outwards so that Chen Ping could sit down.

Chen Ping sat down, picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, chewed and swallowed it, and then ate a mouthful of rice.

After driving for six or seven hours, Chen Ping was indeed quite tired.

Especially the section from Tianhai City to Siping Township, which is all mountain roads, is extremely tiring.

"Dr. Chen, is anything happening in the provincial capital? Could you tell us about it?"

Li Fang looked on with curiosity.

"Li Fang, stop asking questions. Dr. Chen must be very tired from the journey. Let him have a good meal first."

Zhao Guosheng glared at Li Fang.

Li Fang rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced, but didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Ping ate a few mouthfuls of rice, drank a sip of soup, and after catching his breath, said, "It's nothing, just some accidents at the hospital."

Chen Ping recounted everything that had happened in the provincial capital over the past few days.

When the topic of the misdiagnosis at the General Hospital of the Military Region came up, everyone at the table frowned.

"How could such a big hospital misdiagnose a patient for two years?" Li Fang exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems we can't blindly trust big hospitals. There are plenty of cases of people dying in big hospitals," Liu Wei remarked.

Chen Ping then talked about the Provincial People's Hospital, and at the end, he glanced at everyone and said, "I have some good news for you all, would you like to hear it?"

"Master, what good news is it?" Wang Tao asked.

"Dr. Chen, is this good news from our health center?" Zhou Jie asked curiously.

"Has someone sponsored equipment for our health center again?" Wang Jianguo asked.

“…………”

Everyone was guessing, but Chen Ping just smiled and remained silent.

"Dr. Chen, stop keeping me in suspense! What good news is it? Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Guosheng was getting impatient and urged Chen Ping.

Chen Ping picked up his water glass, took a sip, glanced at everyone, and then said, "The Provincial People's Hospital is providing counterpart assistance to our health center. We'll be the first to pilot this program, with equipment, medicines, and personnel training arranged in batches."

"The first batch of funding is five million yuan, which was personally approved by Dean Liu and will be implemented soon. In addition, our hospital's doctors can take turns to study at the Provincial People's Hospital, where experts will be sent down regularly to provide consultations."
