Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

At the entrance of the state-run restaurant in Nanshan County, Chen Dong and his group finished their meal, carrying lunchboxes for the hospital staff, and left the restaurant with a smile from Manager Fang.

Manager Fang watched Chen Dong and his group get into the car and drive away in a cloud of dust, his eyes filled with undisguised envy. He put away his smile and went back into the hotel. At this moment, a group of waiters in the hotel were holding the foreign exchange certificate that Chen Dong had paid with and talking about something.

"Sister Liu, please let me have it. My brother recently met someone, and they're discussing marriage. The girl's family wants a TV, and you know, they only sell them at the Friendship Store in the city. I really need those foreign exchange certificates!"

"Xiaofen, it's not that I'm unwilling to give it to you, but I desperately need the money myself. You know my husband works in the transportation industry, and I was hoping he could bring some things back for me. Without this money, he really has no other choice!"

The two were locked in a standoff, neither willing to give in. Manager Fang, hearing the commotion, walked in, frowning, and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Manager, I'd like to exchange these foreign exchange certificates for cash. My brother is getting married and we want to buy a TV. What do you think?"

"Manager, we had an agreement. If you have any foreign exchange certificates, you have to give me priority. That last one..."

"Ahem," Manager Fang coughed hurriedly. Sister Liu did want to exchange the foreign exchange certificate that Chen Dong gave her last time, but Manager Fang kept it for herself and said that she would give it to her next time.

"Xiaofang, why do you have to have a TV for your wedding? What kind of family is this, so extravagant? Listen to the manager, go back and tell your brother to just buy a radio as a token gesture, or wait until Mr. Chen comes again, and he'll definitely get one for you then!"

"Manager, a wedding is such a big deal, how can we wait any longer!"

"Why can't we wait? No matter how big the problem is, we can wait. Your Sister Liu already told me last time, we'll do it next time, okay!"

"Alright, everyone get back to work!"

Chen Dong drove his Maybach towards the county hospital. The car was packed with Chen Zaiguang's family, adults holding children, the back seat of the Maybach was full, even Zhao Zhigang was holding one. Fortunately, the journey was not far, and when they arrived at the county hospital, they went to the special care ward where Chen Lianxiang was.

As soon as they reached the top floor, they saw Chen Zaixing walking happily towards them from the corridor, saying as he went, "Brother, disciples and sisters-in-law, sister is awake!"

"Really? That's great!" Chen Zaiguang's face lit up with joy. He let go of Xiao Chenhui's hand and hurried toward the ward.

Chen Dong quickly followed and arrived at the special care ward. Vice President Guo Kun and Director Chang, along with other department heads, were also there. Upon seeing Chen Dong, Vice President Guo Kun, with a look of satisfaction, said to Chen Dong, "Mr. Chen, thanks to the tireless efforts of the department heads of our hospital, your sister, Comrade Chen Lianxiang, has regained consciousness."

"Director Zhu from the neurosurgery department is currently conducting further examinations on your sister's condition," Guo Kun said as he accompanied Chen Dong. The doctors gathered around the bedside at the door automatically made way for them.

Chen Zaiguang and Chen Dong arrived at Chen Lianxiang's bedside and saw that Chen Lianxiang was looking haggard with her eyes open. Director Zhu was using a flashlight to examine Chen Lianxiang's pupils closely.

After all the examinations were completed, Director Zhu turned to Chen Dong and Chen Zaiguang and said, "The patient's vital signs are all normal. Tell her to rest more these days and not to have too many emotional fluctuations."

Chen Dong stepped forward and grasped Director Zhu's hand, "Thank you, doctor, and thank you to all the medical staff at Nanshan County People's Hospital. You've worked so hard!"

Chen Dong then grasped Vice President Guo Kun's hand, "President Guo, I am extremely grateful to the medical staff of Nanshan County for their high-level and successful treatment of my sister under such rudimentary conditions. I am truly grateful!"

"I've decided to donate a 200mA X-ray machine, a B-mode ultrasound diagnostic instrument, and an electrocardiograph," Chen Dong said. He felt that with each name he mentioned, Dean Guo Kun, who was holding his hand, gripped it tighter with excitement.

"As long as it's a mainstream international brand, I will purchase one for Nanshan County People's Hospital as a way of thanking them for treating my sister!"

The medical staff present, including Guo Kun, were visibly excited after hearing Chen Dong's words. Vice President Guo Kun remained silent for a long time, shaking Chen Dong's hand vigorously. Chen Zaixing, who was standing next to him, felt that even Cai Gensheng from the village brigade couldn't shake the hand tractor as forcefully as this vice president.

An X-ray machine!

An ultrasound machine!

There are also things like electrocardiographs. Normally, Nanshan County People's Hospital would consider it a luxury, let alone getting them.

But then, Mr. Chen Dong, a returned overseas Chinese, said in front of many directors of their county's People's Hospital that he wanted to donate a batch of internationally mainstream cutting-edge medical equipment. Not to mention the city, even the provincial People's Hospital probably doesn't have this equipment to purchase.

If the equipment is in place, Nanshan County People's Hospital will instantly become the top medical institution in the province. Even Guo Kun, the vice president, can't imagine how wonderful that would be!

"Mr. Chen, isn't this going to be too much of a burden for you? We at Nanshan County People's Hospital can accept anything that works, even if it doesn't have to be the international mainstream standard," Vice President Guo Kun said, trying to make sure that the matter was feasible.

The fear is that Chen Dong might act rashly and regret it later, purchasing outdated equipment. But who is Chen Dong? The couple's combined system accounts have nearly seven billion US dollars, and they have the WTO system at their disposal. How could they afford to buy outdated and obsolete equipment?

If you're going to buy something, buy the best and newest one of this era. Chen Dong wasn't just acting on a whim; he was consciously trying to transform Nanshan County People's Hospital into a top-tier hospital in future generations of China.

He not only wants to donate medical supplies and equipment, but he also wants to help bring in medical talents from America and Europe to help Nanshan County People's Hospital build a "grassroots medical training center" to improve the overall medical and nursing quality of the entire Nanshan County People's Hospital, as well as Tuocheng City and even Guangdong Province.

Chen Dong plans to expand into Nanshan County and even the entire Tuocheng area in the future. Good medical conditions are the best guarantee for the lives of the workers in the industrial zone. Moreover, his aunt is getting old. Chen Dong donated this batch of medical equipment voluntarily and willingly, both for public and private reasons.

"Rest assured, Dean Guo, I, Chen Dong, will do my best to fulfill my promise as quickly as possible. I will immediately contact the staff in Hong Kong via satellite phone to procure the readily available equipment and ship it to Turkmenistan port by sea as quickly as possible!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. On behalf of the people of Nanshan County, I thank Mr. Chen Dong and Ms. Zhang Yi for your generous donation!"
