Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Old Zhou pondered that he had scolded the young girl harshly before, and he couldn't expect her to calm down immediately.

Why not come every day to show your face and smile, and slowly rebuild the relationship? We absolutely cannot let that guy Lin waste such a promising talent!

As for saving face?

Old Zhou never cared about that; what he cared about was real skill.

If the other party is a fraudster, he exposes their fraud; if the other party is truly capable, he admits his mistake.

Even if we take a step back and say that he's willing to swallow his pride and learn at his age, who would dare to laugh at him? He, Zhou, is upright and honest. Besides, face is a renewable resource; you can always pick it up again if you lose it.

Those around were stunned—what? A senior like Old Zhou was going to personally learn from Su Wanqing, a young girl in her early twenties?

Su Wanqing thought for a moment. Although this acupuncture method was not the core treatment, it did have a relieving effect in later generations, so she nodded: "It is my honor to be able to exchange ideas with you."

Old Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.

Professor Lin walked up triumphantly and patted Su Wanqing on the shoulder: "Little Su, well done! I didn't expect that what you said about 'being able to cure' really meant it. You really surprised us today! Go back and rest, leave this to me." As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Old Man Zhou.

Old Zhou was furious, his face flushed. He didn't care about apologizing to Su Wanqing, but the thought that such a prodigy as Su Wanqing was Old Lin's student made him...

Su Wanqing nodded: "Teacher, you just had surgery not long ago, don't overwork yourself." Professor Lin waved his hand, smiling from ear to ear, and liked Su Wanqing more and more the more he looked at her.

Dean Li escorted Su Wanqing all the way to the hospital entrance, his face crinkling with smiles.

He thought that since Su Wanqing had cured the disease in public today, the attention of the whole country and even the world would be focused on her, and patients with all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases would flock to her...

The hospital's brand is likely to become famous throughout the country.

"Looks like the hospital needs to be expanded." He was lost in his daydreams when he heard Su Wanqing call his name several times: "Dean Li? Dean Li? There's something..."

He suddenly came to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Hey, hey, Dean Su, just say it, no need for approval, I'll agree right away."

Even if Su Wanqing were to kick him out of office and become the dean herself, he would give up his position without hesitation.

"Here's the thing, I'm looking for a retired doctor to practice at a disabled veterans' mutual aid center, with a high monthly salary and benefits. I'd also like to ask which hospitals around here have good medical equipment? I'd like to find some equipment they don't need."

Su Wanqing thought that since she was going to set up a proper clinic, she would have more and more patients in the future. At least she needed to have basic equipment such as ultrasound and blood tests. Otherwise, even if the doctor came, he would be like a skilled cook without rice to cook.

She had originally planned to take the hospital's equipment back tenfold and upgrade it, then donate it to the mutual aid center. However, the problem was that the hospital's old equipment was already very outdated, and even after a tenfold upgrade, it wouldn't be much better than obsolete equipment from abroad.

It's unbearable to look at. I can only try other hospitals to see if I can get some better equipment for free. If that doesn't work, I'll wait until I go abroad and "borrow" a decent batch of medical equipment to upgrade and double it back then. For now, I'll just use what I have.

"We have retired doctors and nurses. Your offer is high, and plenty of people would be willing to go. I'll help you find a stable and reliable one."

Dean Li readily agreed, then hesitated for a moment, "However, the medical equipment in major hospitals is pretty much the same now. The medical equipment you want to get rid of... the hospital itself doesn't even have enough, where would we get any extra to take out? How about this, I'll help you coordinate some from elsewhere."

Su Wanqing frowned. They're all pretty much the same? That means they're all outdated equipment. She quickly shook her head. "Never mind, I actually have some connections, but the goods won't arrive until next month. We can wait."

Alright, I'll just go abroad next month and get all the good stuff for free, all at once. I'll buy some good stuff for the hospitals and keep some for myself too.

"No, no, no, they're all small things, we can manage to squeeze out one or two..."

Su Wanqing waved her hand: "Thank you, Dean Li, but my friend's goods are all high-quality imported products, so I won't trouble you."

She really looked down on those old machines; even a tenfold return was a waste of opportunity, so she might as well order something else for tenfold.

Dean Li: "..." Those words really stung.

He also wanted to ask Dean Su if he could get some good foreign goods... but after thinking about it, he was too embarrassed to ask. Suddenly, he remembered something else.

"By the way, Xiao Su, you might need to prepare to have that old scientist take a look. Old Sun's illness has been dragging on for a long time, and the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. If you can cure him, the significance will be no less than if you cured Chen Ling today."

Su Wanqing nodded immediately, feeling extremely happy—she had heard it all today; the person in question was a nuclear expert with core data on uranium enrichment and metal materials research in his head. If she could save him, wouldn't the merit points rain down like a storm?

There might even be some other rare rewards included.

Besides, going to the capital for a trip, ostensibly to rescue people, was really just a vacation; she'd never properly explored Beijing before.

Dean Li escorted Su Wanqing all the way to her doorstep before leaving as quickly as he could.

However, there were still more than a dozen soldiers at the door of her house, as well as Liu Hongmei, who was crying and wailing, and Lao Liu and Director Liu from the Forestry Bureau.

"Advisor Su, you're finally back!"

Liu Hongmei was restrained, her expression one of surprise and doubt. She hadn't expected Su Wanqing to return so quickly from her medical treatment. Was the treatment successful? Or a failure?

"Forget it, don't think about it too much," she yelled, "Su Wanqing, talk to them! The chicken is fine now, and we're old classmates, can you be lenient? They actually want to detain me and report me to my workplace! If they report me, how am I supposed to go to work? I've already apologized, what more do they want from me?"

After she finished speaking, Director Liu walked over with a hesitant look on his face: "Advisor Su, we've been waiting here to ask for your opinion."

After all, she was Su Wanqing's classmate. If there really was such a relationship, he would just turn a blind eye.

Su Wanqing then realized that they were waiting for her to make a decision.

Seeing Liu Hongmei's aggressive demeanor, and recalling the sudden appearance of so many reporters and experts today, Su Wanqing's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Director Liu, of course I trust you. Handle it as appropriate. Although she is an old classmate, I am even more heartbroken that she did such a thing. We must not bend the law for personal gain."

Oh, that means being ruthless.

Director Liu immediately understood and instructed the others, "Take this comrade back and follow the proper procedures!"

Liu Hongmei was dragged out, her voice trembling: "Su Wanqing! You...you! Taking revenge! You're definitely up to something. You used to be incredibly stupid, there must be something fishy about how you've become like this. I'm going to report you!"

Director Liu frowned, then added, "Another hundred yuan fine, and three more days of detention!"
