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

"Sister-in-law, just ask if you have something to say. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're practically a doctor yourself, what's there to be ashamed of? Do you want to ask about your sex life?"

Seeing Liu Mei's hesitant manner, Chen Ping took the initiative to speak.

She probably wanted to ask about their sex life. Judging from Liu Mei's expression, Zhang Jianmin might have some kind of problem.

"No, no, no..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei waved her hands repeatedly, "Dr. Chen, you've misunderstood. It's not about our sex life. We're quite harmonious."

"Regarding having children, I didn't dare ask you about it at the restaurant because my husband was there."

"As you know, we only have one daughter, Miaomiao. A few years ago, the national policy was strict, and public servants like Lao Zhang could only have one child."

"Now that the national policy is more relaxed, we can have more children. I want to ask you if there is any way to have a boy, whether it's taking medicine or getting injections."

After talking for a while, Liu Mei really just wanted to ask Chen Ping if there was any way to have a boy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh. Although it's a new era now and men and women are equal, many parents still want a boy to carry on the family line.

It's not surprising that Liu Mei has this kind of thinking, especially among older couples.

"Sister-in-law, whether you have a boy or a girl is a matter of probability, but there are ways to take medication before getting pregnant to increase the chances of having a boy."

"Once your migraines are cured, I'll prescribe some medicine to regulate your body. For now, focus on treatment."

Although Chen Ping is a highly skilled doctor, he cannot guarantee 100% certainty; he can only increase the probability.

Some scammers openly claim to have folk remedies that guarantee a boy, and if they don't work, you don't have to pay.

Many people are deceived, thinking that if it doesn't work, they won't have to pay anything, since they won't have to pay anything if they give birth to a girl anyway.

But they don't realize that there's a certain probability of having a boy or a girl. Even without medication, there's still a chance of having a boy.

The medicine I took had no effect at all, and since the woman who gave birth to a girl didn't pay me, she stopped coming back.

Those who believed they could conceive a boy would come and give money, expressing their gratitude and spreading the word that they had taken medication to conceive a boy.

In this way, the scammers reap the benefits without any risk.

"Okay, let's get the treatment done first!" Liu Mei nodded, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Dr. Chen, don't tell my husband about this. If he finds out, he'll definitely be angry and scold me."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't tell anyone." Chen Ping smiled. "I'll show you around the health center and then we'll check out the pharmacy."

"Let's go take a look!" Liu Mei followed Chen Ping out of the treatment room.

Chen Ping then explained the layout of the health center to Liu Mei.

"These are the consultation rooms. We're using three of them now, but we'll move them over once the building behind is finished."

"This is the treatment room, where we usually perform simple procedures."

"The pharmacy is up ahead, but there's only one pharmacist right now, and we're short-staffed when things get busy."

When I got to the pharmacy window, Sun Xiaoyan was organizing the medicine cabinet inside, arranging the freshly prepared medicines on the shelf according to the prescription numbers.

Seeing Chen Ping arrive with his men, he looked up and smiled, then looked down and continued with his work.

Chen Ping then took Liu Mei on a tour of the ward and the simple operating room, discussing some follow-up plans as they walked.

"Sister-in-law, after that building is built, the first floor will be an outpatient clinic and pharmacy, and the second floor and above will be wards and examination rooms. Space has been reserved on the roof so that solar energy equipment can be installed later."

"Secretary Zhang said that the area around the health center can be used as a parking lot and dormitory building."

"Now the health center has signed a support agreement with the Provincial People's Hospital. The Provincial People's Hospital will regularly send experts to provide consultations, and our staff will also go to the province for further training."

"Don't be fooled by the current harsh conditions at the health center; things will definitely get better and better, and salaries will certainly increase as well."

Chen Ping's words sounded like empty promises, but every single one of them was the truth.

Liu Mei listened all the way, then turned her gaze back from the construction site. "Dr. Chen, I've seen the situation at the health center, and I'm willing to come and work here."

"However, I can't start work right away. I have to go back to the city first to quit my job at the pharmacy, get all the wages I'm owed, and hand over all my work before I can come over."

Chen Ping nodded. "No problem, just go back and handle it. I'll keep the position for you here, no rush."

Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Thank you so much."

"Sister-in-law, given my relationship with Secretary Zhang, isn't it too formal for you to thank me?"

Chen Ping smiled and saw Liu Mei out of the health center.

Watching Liu Mei walk away, Chen Ping turned and walked back.

"Dr. Chen, who is this person? Why did you have to personally escort him out?"

Liu Mazi poked his head out of the guardhouse and asked with great curiosity.

"Secretary Zhang's wife will be starting work at our health center in a few days," Chen Ping said.

"What?"

Liu Mazi was taken aback, then jumped out of the guardhouse window, startling Chen Ping.

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Chen Ping glared at Liu Mazi.

"Dr. Chen, isn't that Secretary Zhang's wife? I didn't greet her or salute her just now. Will Secretary Zhang be angry if he finds out?"

"What if he makes things difficult for me or punishes me?"

"I'm worried," Liu Mazi said.

"Secretary Zhang is a benevolent official, not a bandit..."

Chen Ping was somewhat amused and exasperated, and prepared to return directly to the consultation room.

But he had only turned around and taken a few steps when he heard a screeching sound of brakes behind him, followed by shouts of abuse: "Are you blind? Why are you blocking the doorway?"

"Cars aren't allowed in..."

Liu Mazi stood with his hands on his hips in the middle of the doorway, while a black BMW X5 outside gleamed with an arrogant light.

If you want a life without hardship, you must drive a BMW X5.

The King of the Road is truly awesome! (The author actually owns one, so I'm just bragging!)

"Why can't I come in? I drove in just a couple of days ago! Get out of my way, or I'll ram you and kill you!"

The window of the BMW X5 rolled down, and a man with parted hair and gold-rimmed glasses leaned out, shouting angrily.

"You're bragging. Go ahead and run me over if you dare! There are security cameras everywhere; I'm not afraid of a coward like you!"

Liu Mazi looked arrogant, seemingly not taking the man driving the X5 seriously at all.

"Liu Mazi, what's wrong with you? Why won't you let the patient drive in? And you're even arguing with someone?"

Chen Ping frowned and walked towards Liu Mazi.

The health center's yard is big enough to park several cars without any problem, and we've never had to stop any cars.

Liu Mazi must have taken the wrong medicine today; he actually blocked us from entering and started cursing at us.

If this gets out, it will damage the reputation of the health center.

"Dr. Chen, this kid isn't here for treatment at all, he's here to..."

Before Liu Mazi could finish speaking, the BMW X5 suddenly roared and actually rammed into him.
