"But what about Comrade Chen Dong?"

"Words are dead, but people are alive," Luo Jun said sternly, seeing that Guo Kun was still reluctant to part with the supplies. "Comrade Chen Dong said he donated them to your hospital, and he's still staying by your side day and night!"

"Why don't you share some of the surplus supplies and equipment from the county hospital with other hospitals? For example, I heard that Comrade Chen Dong donated four ambulances this time. You could give one to the city's central hospital and say that it was temporarily borrowed because the city's central hospital is short-staffed. That would be perfect!"

Luo Jun patiently persuaded Guo Kun, trying to reason with him, "If you have extra supplies, like antibiotics, you can help other hospitals. They can also send some of their best doctors to the county hospital to help out!"

"It's such a simple thing, you're good, I'm good, we're all good, why make everyone blush? Don't you think so, Lao Guo?" Luo Jun asked Guo Kun while smoking a cigarette.

What else could Guo Kun say? After all, the county hospital was still within the medical system of Tuocheng. If Guo Kun really insisted on not taking the initiative, the municipal bureau could simply replace him with someone willing to go.

"What about the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

"I'll talk to Director Liao about coordinating these temporary transfers, but we'll need his approval. Let me tell you, Lao Guo, having advanced equipment doesn't guarantee an immediate improvement in the county hospital's medical standards. Without good doctors, it's all for nothing, you understand?"

"Yes, yes, Director Luo, you're right," Guo Kun nodded hurriedly.

"Then it's settled. I'll talk to Director Liao later, and you can say that you volunteered to share some of the supplies with other brother units." Seeing that Guo Kun finally nodded, Luo Jun felt relieved.

The Shanghai-plated sedan, number 760, sped along for an hour before finally spotting the road signs for Tuocheng city. Luo Jun and Guo Kun sat in the car, watching the Jiefang trucks passing by with the words "Tuogang Transportation" painted on their fronts. Luo Jun knew that these were the supplies donated by Chen Dong, beginning their transfer to Nanshan County.

Guo Kun tilted his head back, as if trying to see something through the rain cover at the back of the Jiefang truck, a smile on his face. These were all for their Nanshan County People's Hospital. Fourteen Jiefang trucks had already passed by.

The Shanghai-plated vehicle 760 turned onto the city road, avoiding the Jiefang trucks heading to Nanshan County. After driving for another ten minutes or so, it finally turned into the compound of the Municipal Health Bureau.

Guo Kun opened the car door and stepped onto the grounds of the Municipal Health Bureau compound. He had only been here a few times when the Municipal Bureau held study meetings, and this was the first time he had come in a car, so his mood was somewhat different.

Luo Jun led Guo Kun into the Municipal Health Bureau. After going upstairs, they arrived at the director's office. Luo Jun knocked on the door, and Liao Yonggui inside let them in. Luo Jun smiled and opened the door, saying, "Director Liao, I've brought Comrade Guo Kun to report to you!"

Liao Yonggui got up from behind his desk, pointed to the sofa, indicating that they should sit down to talk, and then walked over to Guo Kun, asking, "Comrade Guo Kun, what's the situation with that batch of supplies from Hong Kong to Tuogang?"

Guo Kun was about to stand up to reply when Liao Yonggui waved for him to sit down. Guo Kun then sat back down on the sofa and answered hesitantly, "It's like this, Director Liao. The supplies are from Mr. Chen Dong, a returned overseas Chinese from Nanshan County. To express his gratitude to our county hospital for their efforts in treating his sister, he specially expedited the purchase of these supplies from Japan and donated them to the county hospital at his own expense!"

Liao Yonggui tapped the sofa armrest with his finger, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "These dozen or so cabinets of equipment and supplies, were all purchased by this Mr. Chen Dong personally and then donated to your county hospital?"

"Yes, Director Liao," Luo Jun chimed in, "I've also spoken with Comrade Chen Dong. It was indeed purchased with his own funds, and he specifically mentioned that he would only donate it to Nanshan County People's Hospital!"

After listening, Liao Yonggui didn't say anything more. He leaned back on the sofa, and the office atmosphere became somewhat solemn. After a long while, Liao Yonggui finally said, "Then your Nanshan County People's Hospital has really undergone a major transformation. Our Tuocheng City Health Bureau was already facing a shortage of medical supplies. With Nanshan County receiving such a large quantity of equipment and supplies, the city bureau can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Finally, I won't have to be chased by you, Lao Luo, for supplies and equipment every day anymore," Liao Yonggui said, smiling as he looked at Luo Jun and Guo Kun.

Luo Jun could easily discern the hidden meaning in Liao Yonggui's words. He immediately replied, "Director Liao, we in Nanshan County can finally have some dumplings, but our brother units are still starving. We can't just eat meat while our brother units watch enviously, can we? Don't you think so, Lao Guo?"

"Yes, Director Luo, you're right. When we were short of supplies before, Director Liao provided great support to our Nanshan County Hospital. Now that Nanshan County has received this batch of equipment and supplies donated by Comrade Chen Dong, we should carry forward the spirit of mutual assistance and support our brother unit!"

Liao Yonggui still smiled at Luo Jun and Guo Kun, but his attitude was much more lenient than before. "I'm very pleased that you comrades from the Nanshan County Health Bureau have this awareness!"

"The Municipal Bureau highly recognizes Comrade Guo Kun's work achievements. The reason why that overseas Chinese was willing to donate this batch of medical equipment and supplies is also a high recognition of the medical staff in Nanshan County. Here, I want to give special praise to Nanshan County People's Hospital. I will give them special praise at the next city-wide learning conference!"

Guo Kun, his hands clenched into fists with excitement, his face flushed with a smile, said, "Thank you, Director Liao, for recognizing our work. We will certainly do our best and fulfill our dedication to serving the people!"

Liao Yonggui smiled and nodded, "As for what you said about supporting brother units, I agree, but we can't discourage Comrade Chen Dong's donation of supplies. In terms of supplies, we should prioritize replenishing the Nanshan County People's Hospital. If there are any surpluses, we can support other brother units."

"But don't force it. All support for other units should be limited, with the premise of ensuring the normal operation of all supporting equipment at Nanshan County People's Hospital."

"Director Liao, you're absolutely right," Luo Jun immediately replied. "When I get back, I will definitely follow your instructions and work with Comrade Guo Kun to implement this matter thoroughly!"

"However, Director Liao, I have a favor to ask you!"

"Well, Comrade Luo Jun, go ahead and speak," Liao Yonggui said with a smile, gesturing for Luo Jun to speak boldly.

"Nanshan County People's Hospital has received a batch of advanced overseas equipment. With the improvement of the equipment, the level and quality of the hospital's medical staff are still not quite up to par. We hope that Director Liao can help the local staff and coordinate with medical staff from other units to go to Nanshan County People's Hospital."

"Let's help improve the overall medical standards of Nanshan County People's Hospital!"
