Chapter 76: County Hospital Launches Outpatient Clinic
"Let's not talk about the construction team for now. Boss Sun, is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Yin's sudden question confused everyone present.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong naturally believed Chen Yin. Their eyes suddenly became wary when they looked at Sun Mingying, and they began to suspect whether the other party had any other purpose in taking on the project.
Sun Mingying met Chen Yin's intimidating gaze and immediately realized that the other party must have known about his actions behind his back.
Although this was challenging Dr. Chen's bottom line, she was doing it for the better future of the clinic so that it would not have to expand and rebuild again and again, which would delay the normal operation of the clinic.
"Since you already know, Doctor Chen, I won't hide it anymore."
"You said before that you just wanted to take on the project, but now your intentions are exposed, right?"
Liu Mengxi said with dissatisfaction, turned to look at Chen Yin, and suggested:
"I think it's better for my dad to send a construction team. He has a lot of experience in real estate. She's an outsider, and a profit-seeking businesswoman. Who knows what she'll do?"
"Sister Yinyin, although our family only runs a herbal medicine store, we know a lot of construction teams, so we can lend a hand."
Qi Wenzhong was unwilling to fall behind, so he immediately talked about his own advantages.
Seeing that he was about to lose, Sun Mingying quickly explained:
"I'll consider it for the future of the clinic. Although you, Doctor Chen, decided to rebuild the clinic because it collapsed under the weight of snow, I believe that your medical skills are excellent, and you will definitely have a lot of patients coming to see you in the future."
"Therefore, future planning should also be taken into consideration during reconstruction. Therefore, I will help you purchase several nearby shops and connect them to the original site of the clinic, building a new clinic that will remain unchanged for the next fifty years."
As he spoke, Sun Mingying took out the contract he had already signed from the file bag and handed it to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin took the contract and glanced at it briefly. It contained transfer information from nearby neighbors.
She had to admit that she was indeed moved by the future that Sun Mingying described, but the amount on the contract made her feel relieved.
"Boss Sun has done so much silently, what do you want?"
"Doctor Chen, you are a medical genius who saved my grandmother's life. A few small-town shops are simply not enough to express our family's gratitude to you. Of course, I know you won't accept it. This is the transfer contract I drafted in advance. Just sign it and you can pay in installments later."
Sun Mingying handed over a new contract to express his respect.
Liu Mengxi grabbed the hand eagerly, wanting to see what Boss Sun was planning.
When she saw the amount clearly, she had to admit that the other party was quite interesting. He had no intention of making money at all and was just transferring the property at the original price.
However, as a result, the funds originally raised by the clinic seemed a little stretched.
Liu Mengxi glanced at his friend and stuffed the contract into Chen Yin's hand, "Yin Yin, look here."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Mingying told Li Chunli about the shop that he had been unable to break into.
"It's a pity that I couldn't buy the shop to the left of the clinic. If you want to connect it with the other shops, I guess you'll have to put in some effort, Doctor Chen."
Chen Yin knew that Sun Mingying was referring to Aunt Chunli's shop, but what the other party didn't know was that Aunt Chunli had already transferred it to her at a low price of two thousand yuan.
Judging from the shop transfer contract that has been signed, as long as she agrees, the clinic will cover an area close to half the size of a standard football field.
This area is enough to surpass the current county hospital.
Chen Yin's heart was shamefully moved. She turned to Liu Mengxi and whispered, "How much money have we raised so far?"
"Yinyin, during the days you were away, people continued to deposit money into the account. Currently, it's around 500,000 yuan. I think it's more than enough to build a large clinic."
When Chen Yin heard the amount, her eyes widened in shock. She didn't expect that the amount would increase so much in just one week.
Since she had the funds, she no longer hesitated and directly signed the transfer contract to prepare for the expansion of the clinic.
Sun Mingying looked at Chen Yin's neat movements, a hint of complacency unconsciously flashed in his eyes, and he asked the same question again.
"Doctor Chen, when are you going to start work?"
"There's no time to lose. Let's see what day is suitable for breaking ground and start construction as soon as possible."
"Then where are you going to put all these herbs in your shop? If you don't have a place, our Sun family can help."
"It is temporarily stored in the warehouse of the county hospital. During the reconstruction of the clinic, I will carry out outpatient work in the county hospital."
Liao Dehua communicated these things with Chen Yin early on after Chen Yin published the information in the newspaper.
She thought about the current inventory of the clinic and the commendation given by the county, and decided to temporarily work in the county hospital.
After hearing Chen Yin's answer, Sun Mingying secretly hated herself for being one step too late.
But when he thought about how much he had helped the clinic, he smiled proudly again.
"Since Doctor Chen has already made proper arrangements, I won't waste any more of your precious time. Once you confirm the specific start time, send someone to the construction site to let me know, and I'll get the workers started right away."
Sun Mingying completed this conspiracy very well.
After leaving, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her grandfather was so cunning. If it weren't for her grandfather, how could their Sun family leave a name in front of a rising star?
The next day, Sun Mingying did not visit again in person, but sent his own architect to start communicating with Chen Yin about the specific structure of the new clinic.
Based on her own needs and the Jishidiang designs she had seen, Chen Yin sketched out her vision for the new clinic.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong would occasionally supplement their own clinic and fill in the gaps.
Beibei wrote down all the opinions of the three people.
"Doctor Chen, I understand your requirements. Give me three days and I'll draw up a preliminary manuscript. We can discuss specific revisions next time we meet."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Chen Yin also knew that they talked too much, but since it was the first time for her to build her own clinic, she couldn't help but feel worried and excited, and her words suddenly poured out uncontrollably.
What seemed tedious to her was nothing to Beibei.
After all, it is just a "hospital". The structure and layout of hospitals on the market are basically the same, so it doesn't take much thought.
The only trouble is how to perfectly integrate Chen Yin's ideas into it.
Three days later, Beibei came to the house as scheduled.
Liu Mengxi was eager to see what the new clinic looked like, and almost dragged people into the clinic.
"Master, can you please show me what the new clinic looks like?"
The sudden intimate behavior made Beibei a little overwhelmed. She was struggling in public and was dragged directly in front of Chen Yin.
Seeing this, Beibei sighed helplessly, opened the bag in her hand, and took out a thick stack of papers.
"The above is a draft I drew based on your needs. If there are any changes that need to be made, please let me know now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yin and the other two each picked up a piece of paper and began to appreciate it carefully.
Beibei's introduction did not stop there, but continued:
"Because the planned clinic is a six-story building, we need to fully consider factors such as its load-bearing capacity, earthquake resistance, and wind resistance. We have made some professional modifications based on the requirements you mentioned."
"The exterior of the clinic building is traditional Chinese, while the interior features a high-standard modern layout. The entire building is shaped like a Chinese character 'U'. The first floor is primarily used for registration..."
Chen Yin and the other two listened and watched, their eyes shining and smiles almost fixed on their faces.
Professionals do their job well, and Chen Yin is very satisfied.
At this point, the overall structure of the new clinic has been basically finalized, and construction is not far away.
Although people at that time were somewhat wary of feudal superstitions, Wu Dongmei still helped to choose a good day for such a major event as breaking ground, and decided to start construction three days later.
Today, Chen Yin and her friends’ most important task is to pack up their belongings and take them to the county hospital.
In just one morning, the entire clinic was emptied, leaving only the final frame structure.
Liu Mengxi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the clinic where she had stayed for such a long time suddenly became empty.
"Yinyin, when we come back, the clinic won't be like this now, right?"
"Except for the entrance, everything else will be better. You don't want to continue to squeeze into a small clinic, do you?"
Chen Yin understood the inexplicable sadness in her friend's heart and couldn't help but joke.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengxi glared at Chen Yin rudely and continued to watch the scene of the clinic being emptied.
If we were to say who had the most complicated emotions among the few people, it would be Wu Dongmei.
It can be said that she witnessed the establishment of the clinic with her own eyes. It was the result of the hard work of her and her husband. Now that it has to be demolished and rebuilt, she feels an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She took a long look at the clinic's final appearance and declined her daughter's invitation to go to the county town together.
"Your uncle and his family are all busy with planting lately, so I can help them a little. You should take Mengxi and Xiaoqi with you to the county town. Mom can't help you much."
"Mom, what are you talking about? You are so important to us. You don't know how we got through the days without you."
When Chen Yin thought about how the three of them had been living in a daze these days apart from seeing patients, her eyes went dark.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong also felt the same way, and expressed Wu Dongmei's importance and irreplaceability to them and the clinic.
This made Wu Dongmei burst into laughter, but she still insisted on her own idea and decided to go back to Qingshan Village to help.
Since persuasion was fruitless, Chen Yin stopped causing trouble for her mother.
When Qi Wenzhong heard Wu Dongmei explain the current progress of the mountain project, he immediately said:
"Auntie, I hear what you said. We're making quite a bit of progress now. I wonder when Uncle Wu will decide to start planting? I can always call my dad and have the seedling dealer send the seedlings over as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Wu Dongmei thought for a moment and did not reject it outright.
"Looking at my eldest brother's attitude, I think he'll have the barren hills and land cleaned up in a few days. When I have news, I'll have someone go to the county hospital to tell you."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news at the county hospital."
After all matters were settled, the two parties separated.
Chen Yin and her group took a rented truck and headed towards the county town.
An hour later, they arrived at the warehouse arranged for them by the county hospital.
As soon as the things were unloaded from the car, Liao Dehua appeared at the scene.
"Doctor Chen, you're finally here. I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival at the County Hospital, hoping you'll boost the morale of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
"Director Liao, you're too kind. I should be thanking the county hospital. Without your help, I'd probably still be busy looking for a place to store the herbs."
"This is what we should do. We invite an expert like you. What's the point of having a warehouse that has been idle for a long time?"
Liao Dehua waved his hand indifferently and continued to talk about the preparations the hospital had made for Chen Yin's arrival.
"I wonder when Doctor Chen plans to officially start seeing patients? Our hospital has already spread the good news of your arrival, and many people are eager to see you and find relief from their illnesses."
Hearing that there was a patient, Chen Yin's heart suddenly became nervous. She glanced at the time and suggested:
"It's getting late today. Let's start tomorrow. Is there enough time to prepare?"
"There's still time! There's still time!"
Liao Dehua was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
He glanced at the luggage that was still being moved and said embarrassedly, "Doctor Chen, I'm going to the hospital to start preparing. You can go ahead and do your work first."
"According to you, this is the key to the house our hospital previously allocated. During the time you worked at the county hospital, you lived in the hospital's family quarters. It's the house next door, the one with people drying clothes on the roof. Do you see it?"
Chen Yin and the other two looked in the direction of Liao Dehua's finger and immediately found the house he was talking about.
"I see."
"Hold the key. I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
Chen Yin took the key and watched Liao Dehua's back as he ran quickly.
Liu Mengxi took a look and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha! I didn't expect Director Liao could run so fast? You can't tell he's almost fifty."
Upon hearing this, Qi Wenzhong couldn't help but smile. Director Liao's back as he ran was really funny.
The three of them stood by the warehouse, watching all the medicinal herbs and other miscellaneous items being put into the warehouse. After checking the door locks, they walked towards the house provided by the county hospital.
The house was newly built by the hospital in recent years. It is considered a very nice house in the entire county.
Compared with previous years, the layout of the house has undergone many new changes.
Whether it is cooking or washing, you can do it in your own house without having to occupy the aisle and listen to other people's gossip.
The noise made by the three people carrying luggage to the door was quite loud and instantly attracted the attention of people in the family compound.
Everyone's curious eyes swept back and forth over Chen Yin and the other two, as if trying to identify their identities.
Those who were well-informed had already learned from their husbands or wives that a traditional Chinese medicine expert would be coming to the county hospital.
I heard that he came from the small town below. Many powerful people traveled across mountains and rivers to go to the small town for medical treatment.
It instantly attracted the attention of many people, who wanted to join in the fun.
After all, who doesn’t have a sick relative?
Even if it is not a serious illness, as long as people get old, headaches, fevers, etc. will really torture their children.
So the first reaction of those who were well-informed when they saw the three people was to quickly tell their relatives that experts had arrived at the county hospital.
Isn't it? Liu Lili quickly put down the peas she was picking and said impatiently:
"Oh no! I forgot what Lao Gao told me. I'm going home first. You guys keep busy."
As she spoke, she quickly moved towards home.
Those who didn't know the news looked at the figure who left in a hurry, their minds were full of question marks, and they asked in confusion:
"Is there any need to be so anxious?"
"Oh! Sister Zhang, I also remembered that I have something to do at home, so I have to go back to my parents' home first. When you go to pick up the child, please tell her that I'm going to her grandmother's house and let her go there by herself after school."
…
In a short period of time, most of the eight people who were originally picking vegetables left.
Only Sister Zhang, who knew nothing about this, was left staring blankly at the suddenly changed scene, not knowing what to say.
Liu Lili, the first to leave, happened to be assigned to the same building as Chen Yin and the others.
Therefore, she ran so fast for another purpose, which was to get close to Chen Yin.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind. Chen Yin and the other two were walking in the corridor, subconsciously trying to make way for the people behind them.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps just now stopped directly behind the three people.
Chen Yin mistakenly thought they were blocking the way and leaned against the wall again, "Sorry."
Although Liu Lili didn't know which of the two girls in front of her was the Doctor Chen her lover was talking about, she knew that the one who spoke had misunderstood. She waved the plastic bag in one hand wildly and hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no! You misunderstood. I heard from my wife that a Chinese medicine expert will be working in our county hospital for a few months. I saw that you three looked a little unfamiliar, so I thought I'd come and ask if it was Doctor Chen who came?"
"Hello, I'm Chen Yin."
Chen Yin stretched out her hand as usual, which immediately made Liu Lili so excited that she smiled widely.
"Hello, Doctor Chen! Hello!"
Liu Lili grabbed Chen Yin's hand tightly and she was unable to break free for a moment.
In the end, Chen Yin pulled hard and finally saved her hand.
Liu Lili didn't expect that she was so happy that she did such a thing on the first day they met, and she quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Chen, I... I was so excited that I forgot I was holding your hand. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm so happy. I have a child at home who can't eat anything and is extremely thin. I thought a famous doctor would come and I wanted to take a look at my child."
It turned out to be the patient's family member, and Chen Yin's depressed mood was instantly swept away.
"It's okay. You're also worried about your children. I understand."
"I wonder when you, Doctor Chen, will start taking charge of the outpatient clinic? We'll be lining up for an appointment right away."
"We're neighbors living in the same building, so you don't have to be so polite. We've just moved into room 302, and there's a lot we need to take care of. You can just bring your child tonight at 8 o'clock, and I'll see him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lili was almost moved to tears.
In her impression, famous doctors are generally high and mighty, but she didn't expect Chen Yin to be so considerate of parents' feelings.
I just came up from town and asked him to come for a home consultation.
"No need, Doctor Chen. The child is already several years old, so there's no rush. You just came up, so you should get some rest first. We'll go to the hospital to register ourselves."
Although she was tempted, Liu Lili still rejected the suggestion of taking the backdoor.
Chen Yin was also a little surprised by this and told him that she would start running an outpatient clinic at the county hospital tomorrow.
Liu Lili immediately said that she would take her child to register tomorrow and left in a hurry.
Looking at her quickly disappearing figure, Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong also showed surprised expressions.
"When she interrupted us just now, I thought she was trying to get in through the back door and see the doctor first. It seems I was too narrow-minded."
"Don't blame you. The family members' expressions did look a little impatient just now." Qi Wenzhong's soothing voice followed.
Chen Yin looked at the two of them in surprise and continued walking forward.
“Since there is no one to see the doctor, let’s quickly clean up the house and find something to eat in the county town.”
The two agreed with this. After all, no one wanted to try the extremely difficult task of cooking again.
As soon as they opened the door, the three were shocked by the neat scene inside.
"Oh my God! Director Liao had someone clean the house before giving it to us. We didn't have to worry about anything at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mengxi ran towards the sofa excitedly.
After sitting on the truck seat all the way and standing for a while, she urgently needed the comfort of the sofa.
As soon as she did it, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Qi Wenzhong looked at this scene with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
While the two of them were enjoying the sofa, Chen Yin took a look at the overall layout of the room.
The whole house has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, which is more than enough for three people. The decoration of the house is also the most fashionable nowadays.
She took a quick look and chose a room with two bedrooms next to each other. She said to the two people in the living room:
"Mengxi and I will occupy the two adjacent bedrooms. Wenzhong, you will occupy the room to your left. Is that okay?"
"no problem."
"good!"
The voices of the two came from the living room. Chen Yin carried her luggage into the room and began to pack it.
By the time she had tidied the room to her liking, half an hour had passed.
When she walked out of the room, the two people who were originally in the living room had disappeared. They probably went back to their rooms.
A quarter of an hour later, all three of them appeared in the living room and went out to find food.
At this time, the news that Chen Yin had arrived at the family quarters of the county hospital had spread, and almost half of the people knew that Chen Yin would start outpatient clinics at the county hospital tomorrow.
The person who was enjoying the meal was completely unaware of this.
After eating and drinking their fill and washing up at home, the three of them sorted out medical records together as usual and did not fall asleep until late at night.
The next day, the three of them went out to eat a bowl of pea noodles and slowly approached the hospital.
Just as they reached the street opposite the county hospital, the three of them suddenly stopped and looked at the decoration of the county hospital opposite in shock, without saying a word for a long time.
