"Wang Yan, congratulations. In less than three years, you've become a leader. And now you've had a big, healthy son too—double happiness. You'll go even further in the future. Work hard; your prospects are boundless."
At the county hospital, the director was smiling even more happily than Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's first meal of dumplings after arriving here had been at her home. Later, he had also stayed there with the mountain patrol team. She had watched as Wang Yan, seemingly without expending much effort or enduring much hardship, developed Machi County into what it was today in such a short time.
In the past, the most respected person in the entire county had actually been her, the hospital director.
She had treated countless people, accepted plenty of beef and mutton from them, and persisted here for many years. She had actively trained medical staff and, under harsh and difficult conditions, ensured that the people of Machi County could receive medical care.
But after Wang Yan arrived, the most respected person gradually became Wang Yan. Everyone knew that Machi County's present prosperity, and the fact that people's lives improved year after year, were all thanks to Wang Yan.
The director understood even more. She was even more certain of Wang Yan's decisive role in Machi County.
Besides, although Wang Yan had not ended up with White Chrysanthemum or Bai Shao, Xiao Yan was truly a disciple she had personally trained and was close to her. Bai Ji also worked under Wang Yan. Over the past two years, he had become steadier and more reliable in handling matters.
And after He Qingyuan and the others left, freeing up staffing slots, Wang Yan had filled one with Bai Ji, successfully getting him into the system and securing him an iron rice bowl.
