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

Liu Mazi was taken aback. He didn't expect Zhang Jianmin to be here, and he certainly didn't expect Zhang Jianmin to speak up for Chen Ping.

"Secretary Zhang... I... I'm here to see a doctor," Liu Mazi stammered.

"Seeing a doctor?" Zhang Jianmin sneered. "You bring four or five henchmen with you to see a doctor? You start a fight first?"

"I didn't hit anyone!" Liu Mazi cried out, "He started it!"

"Is that so?" Zhang Jianmin looked at Zhao Guosheng. "Dean Zhao, you explain."

Zhao Guosheng stepped forward and recounted the whole story again, from the moment Liu Mazi led his men into the courtyard, to how they attacked the young doctor first, and how Chen Ping intervened to stop them. He explained everything clearly.

"Secretary Zhang, don't listen to his nonsense..." Liu Mazi still tried to argue.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Zhao Guosheng took out his phone. "The health center has surveillance cameras. Do you want to check them?"

Liu Mazi's expression changed completely.

Director Zhou, watching this scene, coughed lightly: "Alright, the matter is clear. Liu Mazi, you led people to cause trouble and then turned around and accused them. You're quite something."

Then Chief Zhou said to the tall auxiliary police officer, "Go and bring back Liu Mazi and his accomplices. They're guilty of disorderly conduct. Those who should be detained should be detained, and those who should be fined should be fined."

The tall auxiliary police officer responded and led the men out.

As Liu Mazi was being led away, he glanced back at Chen Ping. His eyes no longer held the arrogance of before, but only regret and complex emotions.

Director Zhou walked up to Chen Ping and personally unlocked the handcuffs: "Dr. Chen, I'm sorry you had to suffer."

Chen Ping flexed his wrists and smiled, "It's alright, as long as Director Zhou enforces the law impartially."

Zhang Jianmin stepped forward and patted Chen Ping on the shoulder: "Dr. Chen, come on, let's sit in my office. My mother and daughter are here, and they insist on thanking you in person."

Chen Ping glanced at the wooden box beside him and nodded: "Okay."

Stepping out of the police station, the sun was shining brightly.

Under the row of two-story buildings on the west side, an old woman was standing at the door looking around. When she saw Chen Ping come out, she smiled and quickly went to greet him.

"Dr. Chen, are you alright? I thought it looked like you just now, so I had my son go and check on you," the old woman said, holding Chen Ping's hand.

"It's alright, ma'am." Chen Ping smiled. It turned out that the old woman had just seen him being taken to the police station.

The girl named Miaomiao also ran out of the house, her eyes shining brightly when she saw Chen Ping: "Uncle!"

Chen Ping patted her head: "How are you? Are you feeling alright?"

"It's alright!" Miao Miao nodded vigorously. "Uncle, you're amazing!"

Zhang Jianmin laughed and said from the side, "Alright, let's go inside and talk."

The group entered the township government office building. Zhang Jianmin's office was small, but it was tidy.

The old woman busied herself pouring tea, while Miaomiao sat next to Chen Ping, chattering away.

Zhang Jianmin brewed some tea, handed a cup to Chen Ping, sat down, and sighed, "Dr. Chen, I'm sorry to have troubled you with what happened today. People like Liu Mazi are a major problem in Siping Township. Even if you arrest him and lock him up for a few days, he'll come out the same as before."

"Every family has its own problems," Chen Ping said with a smile.

He knew that in rural areas, many people were difficult to manage, lacking knowledge and having a weak sense of law.

This is especially true in remote and impoverished areas like Siping Township.

Five hundred yuan is enough to get Hu Mazi to beat someone up, which shows how poor Siping Township is.

Zhang Jianmin nodded and looked at Chen Ping: "Dr. Chen, I heard from my mother that you work at the Municipal People's Hospital? What makes you think of a place like Siping Township?"

Chen Ping paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's necessary for work."

Zhang Jianmin, a veteran of government offices, could tell from Chen Ping's expression that there was more to the story. He didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Conditions in Siping Township are harsh, and the township health center is especially lacking in doctors and medicine. It's a blessing for the people of Siping Township that Dr. Chen can come here. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhang," Chen Ping said.

"Don't call me Secretary, just call me Jianmin," Zhang Jianmin said with a smile. "I'm a few years older than you, you can call me brother too."

The old woman chimed in, "Yes, yes, call him brother, we're family now. Dr. Chen, are you married? Would you like me to introduce you to someone?"

Chen Ping gave a wry smile: "Auntie, I just got divorced."

The old woman was taken aback, then waved her hand and said, "Divorce is good, divorce is good! Out with the old, in with the new! There are plenty of good girls in Siping Township. I'll help you find one tomorrow."

"Mom!" Zhang Jianmin interrupted his mother helplessly, "Dr. Chen just arrived, don't make unnecessary arrangements."

Miao Miao covered her mouth and laughed.

Chen Ping smiled, and the gloom in his heart dissipated somewhat.

After sitting in Zhang Jianmin's office for a while, Chen Ping got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Jianmin escorted him all the way downstairs and left his phone number, saying he could contact him anytime if needed.

Chen Ping carried the wooden box as he walked down the street in Siping Township.

The village is very small; it only takes about ten minutes to walk from one end of the main street to the other.

The street is lined with small shops, barbershops, and restaurants, with elderly people squatting in the sun and children running around.

When Chen Ping arrived at the entrance of the health center, Zhao Guosheng was standing there looking around. Seeing him return, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Dr. Chen, I didn't expect you to know Secretary Zhang. No one will dare to cause you trouble from now on."

"I wouldn't call myself an acquaintance," Chen Ping said with a smile.

"Dr. Chen, let me first introduce you to your colleagues at the hospital, and then I'll arrange your accommodation!"

As Zhao Guosheng spoke, he led Chen Ping into a consultation room.

"Everyone, gather together so Dr. Chen can get to know everyone!"

Zhao Guosheng called out to the group of people who were working.

Three people came out of the room at the sound, two men and one woman, all wearing slightly worn but clean white lab coats.

Leading the way was a woman in her late twenties, with a neat ponytail and black-rimmed glasses.

"Dr. Chen, her name is Li Fang, she is the pharmacy manager of the health center, and also the only pharmacist here."

Zhao Guosheng pointed at the female comrade and said.

Following Li Fang was a male doctor in his forties, slightly overweight, with some gray hair and a gentle smile on his face.

"His name is Wang Jianguo. He's a veteran doctor at the health center and has worked there for twenty years."

Zhao Guosheng continued his introduction.

The last person to emerge was a male doctor of similar age to Chen Ping, tall but somewhat thin.

"His name is Liu Wei. He graduated from medical school and was assigned here," Zhao Guosheng said.

"Dr. Chen, welcome, welcome!" Wang Jianguo stepped forward first and warmly shook hands with Chen Ping.

Li Fang also said with a smile, "Dr. Chen, you've only just arrived at the health center and this has already happened. It's really embarrassing for you. But the director said you know Secretary Zhang from the township, and he directly arrested Liu Mazi and his gang. People from the city like you definitely have connections."
