Chapter 521: Establishment of the First Private Hospital
Cheng Qiao took Li Ming away. She would only stay with Li Ming for a few days at most and then go back to Liangzhou. She had taken too long a leave there. Although Shen Ying was in the health center, the family farm could not be left to Uncle Chen and the others.
"Li Ming, Mom wants to tell you something serious. You must keep it in mind."
It was the first time that Li Ming saw Cheng Qiao so serious and he straightened his back involuntarily. Although he was the third child in the family, his last name was Li, so he was the eldest son of the Li family.
"The first thing is that the land and houses in Xiangyang Village all belong to your uncle. Even if you return to Xiangyang Village, you will only be a guest."
"I understand. Although I grew up in Xiangyang Village, my uncle is the eldest son, so the house and land over there should be given to him. The house in Xiangyang County belongs to our family."
"Do you know how that old house in Xiangyang County came about?"
Li Ming shook his head. He really didn't know.
"That was left by your grandfather. He declared that it was for his eldest grandson."
"That belongs to Brother Cheng Li."
"No, it's for you. You are the eldest grandson of the Li family, and your brother's surname is Cheng."
Li Ming solemnly took the key to the old house from Cheng Qiao and put it in his pocket carefully.
"Yes, I have asked your Uncle Skinny Monkey to renovate it. You can go and have a look when you have time. Also, our family has a stake in the wholesale market in Xiangyang County, so I will leave this responsibility to you in the future."
"Mom, I'm only ten years old."
"Ten years old is not young anymore, especially in our family. You have to grow up, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what."
Otherwise she was afraid it would be too late, but Cheng Qiao didn't say it. Instead, she gently put her arm around Li Ming's shoulders. Among the four children, Li Ming actually had the hardest time.
Cheng Li has her father to accompany her, and the twins are also educated by her master. Only Li Ming, although he is taken care of by Li's mother, she knows that most of the time it is Li Ming who takes care of Li's mother.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Mom, what are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you, Mom, for helping us so much. You are helping Mom and Dad to be filial."
Li Ming patted his chest nonchalantly, after all his last name was Li.
"The grocery store is now managed by Aunt Zheng. You can learn a little when you have time. When you graduate from college, if you are willing, you can take over the grocery store and wholesale market."
"Of course I am willing. This is the hard work of my parents. As a descendant of the Li family, I must carry forward the grocery store and wholesale market."
Cheng Qiao felt amused. The little brat wanted to develop the business. Doing business is not an easy thing. It takes skill to keep it going.
Cheng Qiao sent Li Ming to school. Since Li's mother was not around, Cheng Qiao felt at ease only if he lived in school. She also left enough money and tickets for Li Ming just in case.
When Cheng Qiao returned to Liangzhou Health Center, she found out that during the time she was away, Gu Yuhua had almost completely overpowered the health center.
It turned out that Gu Yuhua had no way to sue, so he simply began to recruit talents. Although the Liangzhou Military Hospital was affiliated with the garrison troops, it was also open to all Liangzhou citizens.
Gu Yuhua used high salaries and benefits to attract some talented doctors to join the hospital, which instantly raised the reputation of Liangzhou Hospital.
So in Liangzhou, when people mention hospitals, everyone only knows about the Liangzhou Military Hospital, and they don’t even know that there is also a health center.
Fortunately, Shen Ying didn't care about it at all. Their clinic was only open to officers and soldiers of the garrison troops, and even military dependents had no right to enter.
But Gu Yuhua's behavior made Shen Ying very unhappy, but she was just an assistant, and she had to wait until Cheng Qiao came back before doing anything.
Cheng Qiao listened quietly to Shen Ying's complaints. Even such a quiet Shen Ying couldn't remain calm, which proved that Gu Yuhua had really crossed the bottom line of this young lady.
"Sister Chen, you are two years older than me, and you don't even want to find a man to marry. Why do you care about this old man?"
"Cheng Qiao, I'm talking to you about serious matters."
"I'm talking to you about serious matters, too."
"I don't want to get married. It's boring."
"Why is it boring?"
"It's boring anyway."
Shen Ying turned and ran away, she didn't want to talk about this topic. Cheng Qiao sighed, there was no need to rush since fate hadn't arrived yet.
She picked up the pen and started to draw on the paper. In fact, when she went to Beijing this time, she specifically reported her ideas about the future direction of the health center.
The health center is not open to the public and is specifically for serving the Liangzhou garrison. However, Liangzhou already has a military hospital, and setting up another one would be a waste and would also lead to vicious competition.
So she suggested converting the Liangzhou Military Hospital into a civilian hospital and the health center into a military hospital. Yao Peng and Wu Hongxin both thought this was a good idea.
But they said that the country is in a difficult situation now and there is no extra funds to renovate the health center, unless Cheng Qiao invests his own money to establish a private hospital.
But the country does not allow private individuals to set up hospitals now. The only way is to use the special rights of special departments to set up a hospital.
Of course Cheng Qiao knew that this was the maximum output of power for the two old men. She calculated the funds and thought that she could still do it if she sold all the dowry left to her by her mother Zhao Min.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qiao picked up the phone and called Zhao Hui directly. Zhao Hui's business was growing bigger and bigger, and he had already begun to extend his business to Hong Kong Island.
"You little girl, when you need me, you keep calling me uncle, but when you don't need me, you don't even have time to wish me a happy new year."
Cheng Qiao blushed. She was really wrong in this regard, but in order to atone for her sin, she intended to let Zhao Hui join in the investment and construction of this private hospital.
"What, you actually..."
Zhao Hui was speechless. Such a big piece of cake was actually taken away by Cheng Qiao. This investment must be seized.
"Don't say anything. Wait for me for a week and I'll come over in person."
Cheng Qiao looked at the microphone in her hand in surprise. Apart from the busy tone, Zhao Hui actually hung up the phone. She could only smile bitterly and hang up.
My uncle probably doesn't know the price she has to pay for investing in this hospital. She is recognized as a medical saint by the higher-ups, and it's a waste of her talent to let her sit in the hospital and treat ordinary people.
Therefore, only by setting up a private hospital can her abilities be brought into play to the greatest extent, and a special department must be set up in the hospital to specifically save lives and heal the wounded for the special department's special abilities.
The injuries suffered by people with special powers are completely different from those suffered by ordinary people. The medicinal herbs and medical skills required are also beyond the reach of ordinary people. And Cheng Qiao is the only one who has to bear all of this.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qiao focused on analyzing and budgeting the investment in this department, and then wrote a report. He had to get some benefits out of it, so as not to let Wu Hongxin and Yao Peng get too proud.
When Zhao Hui arrived in Liangzhou exhausted, he was so surprised when he saw Cheng Qiao's family farm and his residence which was comparable to a courtyard house in Beijing that he almost forgot the purpose of his visit.
"Cheng Qiao, you are such a genius. You are so many times better than your mother."
“Is my mother a bad one?”
"That's not the case. It's just that my taste in choosing men is a little poor... Not really, it's just... let's not talk about this."
Seeing Cheng Qiao's face starting to turn cold, Zhao Hui immediately shut up. He was still feeling aggrieved. He was not wrong. Zhao Min was fully capable of finding a better man.
But if that were the case, he wouldn't have a niece as close to him as Cheng Qiao. Well, Zhao Min has a good eye for men.
