Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

"Okay, Dean Liu, you can go ahead and get busy. Don't worry about me!"

Chen Ping nodded.

After Dean Liu left, Chen Ping walked straight to the nurses' station.

Inside the nurses' station, there is a temporary rest room for nurses on duty. The little girl was placed here so that a nurse could accompany her at any time.

As soon as Chen Ping reached the nurses' station, he heard a little girl's laughter coming from inside the room.

The laughter sounded innocent and radiant.

Chen Ping walked to the door and saw that Lin Xiaoran was inside.

Lin Xiaoran was playing with the little girl, dressed in a refreshing outfit, having shed all her capable and assertive lawyer aura, and at this moment she was gentle and patient.

The little girl was surrounded by all sorts of children's snacks, soft and sweet pastries, and exquisite toys. Dolls, building blocks, and picture books filled the table.

The little girl's complexion was much rosier than yesterday, and the fear and timidity in her eyes had disappeared. With Lin Xiaoran by her side, she laughed heartily.

Seeing this, Chen Ping felt a slight warmth in his heart.

He hadn't expected that Lin Xiaoran would also be thinking about the little girl.

It's said that lawyers are ruthless and hard-hearted, but now it seems that Lin Xiaoran is quite kind-hearted.

Chen Ping gently pushed open the door and went inside.

Hearing the noise, Lin Xiaoran immediately looked up and saw Chen Ping walking in. She was clearly taken aback: "Your meeting is over? I thought it was going to go on for a long time."

"Just finished, came back to check on the patient's condition."

Chen Ping said calmly.

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, the little girl immediately asked, "Uncle, are you going to see my dad? How is he?"

"I want to see my dad, but the nurse won't let me..."

The little girl pouted as she spoke, seemingly a little unhappy.

"Your dad is doing well, and you'll be able to see him in a few days. The nurse isn't letting you visit him so he can recover faster. You have to listen to her."

Chen Ping stepped forward and gently patted the little girl's head.

"Yes, I'm very obedient." The little girl nodded, then pointed to the snacks and toys around her. "These were all bought by the nurse, and these things were bought for me by Xiaoran."

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback. "Shouldn't you call her 'Auntie'? Why are you calling her 'Sister'? If you call her 'Sister,' shouldn't you call me 'Brother'?"

"Sister Xiaoran is so young, but Uncle you are so old. I shouldn't call you brother. My dad said it's polite to call adults uncle." The little girl explained earnestly.

"Hehehe..." Lin Xiaoran covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this. "Yes, that's so true. Old men shouldn't pretend to be young."

Lin Xiaoran laughed until tears almost came out.

Chen Ping sighed, somewhat speechless. "I'm a few years older than you, and you call me an old man? You should know that at my age, I'm considered a promising young talent in the association."

"Even if you're a few years older, you're still an old man. You're over thirty, and I'm only in my twenties. A man is considered old after thirty."

Lin Xiaoran said with a playful expression.

"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore!" Chen Ping pulled over a chair and sat down, then started playing with the toys to coax the little girl.

The little girl seemed to sense the problem, staring intently at Chen Ping, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle, if you don't like me calling you 'uncle,' then I'll call you 'big brother,' or 'little brother'..."

In a little girl's mind, a younger brother might be younger.

Chen Ping, on the other hand, wished he were young.

"Little brother?" Lin Xiaoran was taken aback, then her gaze suddenly drifted towards Chen Ping's lower body.

Then he burst into laughter, and this time tears streamed down his face.

"Yes, little brother, from now on he'll be the little brother..."

Lin Xiaoran said with a smile.

Chen Ping had already understood Lin Xiaoran's meaning, and glared at her, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. How can you spout such rubbish in front of a child?"

After saying that, Chen Ping looked down at himself and chuckled.

Seeing that Chen Ping and Lin Xiaoran were both smiling, the little girl also grinned.

After laughing for a while, Lin Xiaoran wiped away her tears and stopped laughing.

"How was the seminar? You must have gained a lot, right?"

Lin Xiaoran asked.

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head, then recounted everything that had happened at the symposium.

They also talked about Gao Bowen's situation.

Even with just a simple narration, Lin Xiaoran's eyes lit up as she listened, becoming more and more excited, her brows and eyes filled with joy and satisfaction.

"Excellent! Those ungrateful and morally corrupt people deserve to be punished!"

Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh softly, "He relied on his fiancée to support him through his studies, and then cheated on her, became violent, and forgot his roots after achieving success. No matter how good his medical skills are, his character is utterly rotten. He doesn't deserve to be a doctor at all. Now he's ruined his reputation and future; it's all his own fault!"

"Only you dare to expose it in public, disregard social norms and social circles, and stick to your principles of right and wrong."

"Most other people would turn a blind eye, too lazy to offend others or create trouble for themselves."

Chen Ping smiled faintly: "A doctor's integrity rests solely on virtue and skill. When it comes to right and wrong, there is no room for sentimentality. Tolerating unethical doctors is tantamount to disregarding the safety of patients."

Lin Xiaoran nodded without saying anything, but the undisguised glint in her eyes made Chen Ping feel a little uneasy.

"I...I need to use the restroom..."

Chen Ping dared not look at Lin Xiaoran any longer and hurriedly got up.

He regretted performing so well in front of Lin Xiaoran; the more he acted this way, the deeper Lin Xiaoran fell for him.

Chen Ping could sense that Lin Xiaoran seemed to have no more scruples now.

Who knows, in a few more days, Lin Xiaoran might throw herself into his arms and offer him her love.

Chen Ping had just stepped out the door when he ran into Dean Liu, who was there to greet him.

"Dr. Chen, where are you going?" Dean Liu asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. Is there something you need, Dean Liu?"

Chen Ping said.

He wasn't really going to the bathroom; he just didn't want to be alone with Lin Xiaoran anymore, and the atmosphere there frightened him.

"President Zhang of the Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine just called me. He was very sincere and said he would like to invite you to lunch alone."

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just genuinely wanted to get to know you and talk to you about the development of the TCM industry. This is my way of apologizing and making up for the mistake the association made this morning by judging people by their appearance and failing to recognize their true character."

Dean Liu said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping subconsciously frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.

He has always disliked meaningless social interactions and has no desire to participate in such social circles and banquets for fame and fortune.

This morning he had already clearly declined the position of director of the association and stated that he did not approve of the association's atmosphere, so there was really no need for him to join in the fun.

Seeing Chen Ping's reluctance, Dean Liu quickly said, "I know you don't like socializing and don't care about these empty connections. But don't be so quick to refuse."

"President Zhang has been deeply involved in the TCM industry for decades. He has extensive experience, a wide network of contacts, and access to many industry resources and academic channels. He has also encountered countless difficult and complicated cases."

"Even if you don't join the association or accept any position, getting to know an industry senior and exchanging academic and medical knowledge is always beneficial."

"Moreover, the other party adopted an extremely humble attitude, sincerely inviting you without any malice or trying to win you over. They simply admire your talent and respect your medical skills and character."

"A flat refusal would make us seem too arrogant and disrespectful to our seniors."
