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

Chen Ping and Cui Ying entered the cafeteria one after the other.

The white gauze on Chen Ping's forehead was glaringly white, and he was hesitant to move his left arm while walking, but he had a smile on his face and looked as if nothing was wrong.

Cui Ying walked behind him, holding the mug with the kitten printed on it. She placed it on the table and sat down next to Chen Ping.

"Aunt Li, you've only stewed one chicken? Is that enough for so many of us?" Wang Tao noticed that the casserole was quite large, but there wasn't much chicken.

"There's one more, it's in the freezer, we'll stew it tomorrow," Aunt Li said.

"With so many people, why not just stew them together? It's too much trouble," Liu Wei said.

"The chicken was bought by Xiao Cui, and the mushrooms were also brought by Xiao Cui, so I just helped to stew them," Aunt Li explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Cui Ying!

"Sister Cui Ying, why are you buying chickens for no reason?" Wang Tao asked, puzzled.

Cui Ying blushed and remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Fang laughed and said, "Wang Tao, don't ask questions if you don't understand. Dr. Chen is injured, so of course it's to help Dr. Chen recover."

"We've all benefited from Dr. Chen's influence, and you two are still being picky."

Li Fang's words made Cui Ying's face turn even redder, from her neck all the way to the roots of her ears.

"Sister Li Fang, what are you saying? This is what we bought for everyone," Cui Ying explained softly.

However, even she probably doesn't believe that herself.

Wang Tao glanced at Chen Ping, then at Cui Ying, and chuckled twice.

"Sister Li Fang is right. This chicken is for Dr. Chen to nourish his body. We just brought it along incidentally," Wang Tao said.

Liu Wei didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth remained turned up as he stared intently at Chen Ping and Cui Ying.

Cui Ying kept her head down, not daring to look up at the crowd, while Chen Ping kept smiling and didn't seem to care at all.

"Alright, alright, stop joking around and let's eat," Zhao Guosheng said.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to pick up their chopsticks. Chopsticks flew about, bowls and chopsticks clattered, and pieces of chicken in the casserole were gradually scrambled away.

Wang Tao ate the fastest, his cheeks bulging like a toad's, his mouth stuffed full and he was still picking at his food.

Liu Wei ate politely, but he still took quite a few bites.

Li Fang ate and praised the food as she ate. Aunt Li stood at the kitchen door, watching them eat with relish, and couldn't stop smiling.

Wang Tao stopped eating halfway through his meal and stared at Chen Ping's phone.

Chen Ping's phone was on the table, screen up, the black folding screen unfolded, gleaming under the cafeteria lights.

Wang Tao reached out and took it, looked at it over and over, then unfolded it again, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Holy crap, Dr. Chen, this phone..." Wang Tao's voice changed, "A Huawei folding phone? It must cost over ten thousand, right?"

The cafeteria was silent for a second.

All eyes were on that phone.

Liu Wei leaned over for a look and nodded: "It's a Huawei X5. I saw it online last month, it cost 12,000 yuan."

"Twelve thousand?" Wang Tao's hand trembled, almost dropping the phone. He quickly caught it, as if holding a gold brick. "Dr. Chen, have you struck it rich? Buying such an expensive phone?"

Chen Ping glanced at Cui Ying, who was eating with her head down, her face buried in her bowl, so her expression was not visible.

"I didn't buy it. I borrowed it," Chen Ping said with a smile.

"Borrowed? From whom? Who borrowed your phone worth over ten thousand yuan?" Wang Tao didn't believe it.

Liu Wei glanced at Cui Ying, then at Chen Ping, and laughed, "Dr. Chen, stop pretending. Among the people at the health center, who can afford a phone that costs over ten thousand yuan? Except for our Miss Cui."

Wang Tao suddenly realized what was going on and turned to look at Cui Ying: "Sister Cui Ying, did you buy this phone for Dr. Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying could only put down her chopsticks and try to calm herself down, saying, "His phone is broken, I'll lend him one to use for now, and he can pay me back when he gets his salary."

"Borrow? Sister Cui Ying, do you always borrow such expensive things? Next time my phone breaks, can you lend me one too?" Wang Tao asked jokingly.

"You?" Cui Ying glanced at him. "Tie your shoelaces first."

Wang Tao looked down and saw that one of his shoelaces was untied and dragging on the ground; he didn't know when it had come undone.

He squatted down to tie his shoelaces, muttering to himself, "Favoritism, it's definitely favoritism."

Everyone laughed.

Li Fang laughed the loudest: "Xiao Cui, you're so good to Dr. Chen, if Dr. Chen doesn't know how to be grateful, I'll be the first to object."

"Sister Li Fang, you're here again." Cui Ying's face turned red again.

I'm serious.

Li Fang put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Ping seriously. "Dr. Chen, you know in your heart how Xiao Cui treats you. You didn't come back all night, and she didn't sleep a wink, waiting in the yard until dawn."

"Your phone broke, and she bought you one worth over ten thousand without hesitation. You were injured, and she bought you chicken stew with mushrooms to help you recover. Tell me, how are you going to repay her?"

The cafeteria fell silent.

Everyone was looking at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and smiled: "Pay it back slowly."

"How can we pay it back slowly?" Li Fang pressed.

"In installments, over thirty years," Chen Ping joked.

Wang Tao burst out laughing, spraying soup all over the table.

"Dr. Chen, you've really got a brilliant plan," Liu Wei said admiringly.

"Dr. Chen, I never imagined that you would plan to rely on Sister Cui Ying for the rest of your life just because of a cell phone," Wang Tao added.

Zhao Guosheng and Wang Jianguo didn't say anything, they just kept laughing.

Since Chen Ping arrived, the atmosphere in the health center has become much more cheerful.

Unlike before, when it was lifeless and no one knew when it would go bankrupt, and everyone was like a walking corpse with no hope.

"Dean, why hasn't Section Chief Fang arrived yet? Should we go and call him?" Wang Jianguo asked, wiping his mouth.

"I forgot..." Zhao Guosheng suddenly realized, "Old Wang, you only remembered to ask after we've already eaten our fill."

Zhao Guosheng had completely forgotten about Fang Hai.

Looking at his watch, Zhao Guosheng frowned. It was already past midnight. He stood up and walked towards the dormitory behind him.

Since they were all in the backyard, it was only a short walk away, so I knocked on the door.

"Section Chief Fang, lunch is ready."

"Dean Zhao, I'm not going to the cafeteria. Could you please bring my food over?" Fang Hai said through the door without even opening it.

Zhao Guosheng paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Section Chief Fang, please wait a moment."

Zhao Guosheng turned and went back to the cafeteria, his face looking rather grim.

Li Fang asked him what was wrong, and he said that Section Chief Fang had asked him to bring the food over.

Wang Tao's face fell immediately, Liu Wei frowned, and Li Fang rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong with him now? Putting on airs, who does he think he is?" Wang Tao muttered.

"Alright, that's enough." Zhao Guosheng glared at him, then turned to Aunt Li and said, "Sister Li, give Section Chief Fang a portion, I'll take it over."

Aunt Li ladled out a bowl of rice, added a few pieces of chicken, and scooped out a bowl of soup, placing them on a tray.

Zhao Guosheng carried the tray and walked towards the backyard.

He walked to Fang Hai's dormitory, knocked on the door, handed the tray inside, and turned back without saying a word.

Seeing Zhao Guosheng return, Wang Tao said with great dissatisfaction, "Director, do you think this is a health center or a guesthouse?"

Zhao Guosheng didn't reply and sat down to continue eating.

Li Fang quickly said, "Alright, alright, stop talking about it. Let's eat, don't mention that person, it's disgusting."

Everyone fell silent and continued eating.

After the meal, everyone got up to help clean up.

Chen Ping also stood up to help, but Cui Ying held him down.

"Sit still. You're injured, so don't move around." After saying that, Cui Ying took away Chen Ping's bowl and chopsticks.

Chen Ping had no choice but to sit down again.

Soon Aunt Li brought out a plate of fruit from the kitchen, with neatly sliced ​​apples.

She placed the plate on the table and greeted everyone with a smile, "Have some fruit, apples, they're sweet."

Wang Tao took a piece, took a bite, chewed it a couple of times, and his eyes lit up: "Sweet! So sweet!"

After finishing the fruit, Zhao Guosheng said to everyone, "Go back and rest. Don't forget what happened tonight."

"Dean, don't worry, how could I forget something like this?" Liu Wei said, patting his chest.

"Sister Fang, you'll have to make a sacrifice tonight, I'm watching you..."

Wang Tao chuckled at Li Fang.

"Get lost..." Li Fang rolled her eyes!
