After getting off work in the evening, the Yan siblings, Yu Suye, and a few others from the neurology department, including Lo Jun and Shi Zonglu, gathered once again in Dr. Wang Chuan’s office at the plastic surgery center.

“Everyone, this is the transfer agreement signed by me, Luo Jianjun, and Hu Ling!”

Zhong Xinyi passed the agreement around for everyone to read, then continued, “After tomorrow, that small building and the land it sits on will legally belong to us.”

Her words made Yan Feifan feel inexplicably melancholic. Time flew by so fast. Tomorrow was already the tenth. He probably wouldn’t be able to eat such delicious home-cooked meals anymore.

Zhong Xinyi’s voice continued to ring in Yan Feifan’s ears. “Of course, the subsequent hospital registration, renovation approvals, the actual renovation, and personnel recruitment will still take a relatively long time.”

Pausing for a moment, Zhong Xinyi said deeply, “My initial plan is to invest eight million for renovations, and another thirty million to build a high-standard comprehensive operating room, an ICU, a sterile ward, plus six regular wards, as well as purchase the corresponding medical examination and laboratory equipment.”

She looked regretful as she added, “The building’s area is still too small, and we aren’t allowed to rebuild or add extensions. Once we set aside space for the examination rooms, labs, and doctors’ offices, there’s very little room left for wards.”

Zhong Xinyi swept her gaze across the room and changed the subject. “Given my new budget, everyone’s shareholding ratio needs to be recalculated based on our previously agreed valuation.

“You can either invest more capital or withdraw entirely…

“If anyone wants to divest, I am willing to take over your shares at a 1.2-times valuation premium.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lo Jun chimed in, “Ms. Zhong, I’d like to withdraw.”

Facing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Lo Jun explained, looking a bit embarrassed, “Please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I’m pessimistic about the international hospital’s future prospects.

“It’s just…” He sighed heavily. “My unfilial son and daughter-in-law recklessly dabbled in cryptocurrency investments with others. Not only did they lose everything, but they also racked up a massive amount of debt.

“I have no choice but to clean up their mess.”

Zhong Xinyi let out a sympathetic hum. “Dr. Lo, if you’re determined to withdraw, we can sign the transfer agreement tomorrow. You’ll receive the funds within three days.”

Except for Lo Jun, everyone else expressed great confidence in the future of the international hospital. Not only would they not withdraw, but they would also try to invest more capital as much as possible.

Once Zhong Xinyi finished briefing them on the relevant details, the brief investment meeting concluded. The Yan siblings and Yu Suye stayed behind.

“Mrs. Zhong,” Yan Ziruo said worriedly, “with such a high investment, the number of wards is clearly too few. That is, unless the fees for each patient can be set as high as hundreds of thousands, or even millions.”

Zhong Xinyi chuckled softly. “I know the number of wards is indeed too small.

“If we can acquire one of the adjacent houses and convert it into wards, we can solve this problem.”

“But are they willing to rent it to us?” Yan Ziruo was still a little concerned.

“Someone will be,” Zhong Xinyi replied with a confident look. “No one holds a grudge against money.”

She then looked at Yan Feifan. “Feifan, how much additional investment are you planning to make this time? Ten million? Twenty million?”

Yan Feifan asked in confusion, “Mrs. Zhong, you have deep pockets. Do you even need my additional investment?”

Zhong Xinyi smiled faintly. “Our relationship is far from ordinary. Naturally, I’d give my own people preferential treatment when there’s an opportunity to make a lot of money.

“Besides, your additional investment will boost the others’ confidence.”

Thinking of the three patients from the United States that Li Yun had mentioned, who were paying one million US Dollars each, Yan Feifan pondered for a moment before saying, “One shouldn’t be too greedy. I’ll just invest an additional five million to show my support.”

Zhong Xinyi smiled. “Five million is quite a lot. Ziruo, Su Ye, what about you two?”

Yan Ziruo sighed softly. “Mrs. Zhong, you know I don’t have much money of my own.

“The meager salary I earn isn’t even enough for my own expenses. I can’t keep treating Feifan’s money as my own.

“Even biological siblings need to settle their accounts clearly. Right, Feifan?”

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes and teased, “Sis, your credit card bills for clothes and cosmetics all seem to be paid using my salary, don’t they?”

Yan Ziruo’s eyes widened, and she said self-righteously, “I can’t fully support myself right now. As my absolute closest brother, shouldn’t you provide for me?”

“I should! I should!” Yan Feifan quickly conceded.

Yu Suye chuckled. Meeting Zhong Xinyi’s gaze, she said, “Mrs. Zhong, I don’t have much money either.

“The little savings I had accumulated before have long been spent. The salary I earn now is barely enough to cover my daily expenses.”

They chatted a bit more about the international hospital before the Yan siblings and Yu Suye left the plastic surgery center.

Yan Ziruo stopped her brother and said, “Feifan… I chatted with Fan Xiaoxiao for a while this afternoon.

“She has intentions of returning to the country to build her career. She’s thinking of conducting an inspection of Binhai during her nephew’s surgery and recovery period.”

“That’s her personal business. We can’t control it,” Yan Feifan said dismissively.

He couldn’t help but recall the scene of that guy being hoisted high into the air and slammed violently onto the ground.

“Sis, have you noticed that she’s changed?”

Yan Ziruo nodded gently. “She’s not as pretty and cute as when she was a child, but she’s become ladylike and polite.

“When she was a kid, she was so mischievous…”

“Sis, that wasn’t mischievous,” Yan Feifan scoffed. “That was downright abhorrent. Who knows if her current demeanor is just an act? A leopard cannot change its spots…”

Pausing for a moment, his tone became more relieved. “Forget it. It doesn’t matter what she’s like now. Anyway, once her nephew’s surgery is over, our paths won’t cross again.”

Yan Feifan changed the subject, asking with concern, “Sis, how is our aunt doing?”

Yan Ziruo let out a soft breath. “She’s in a bad mood, that’s for sure. But since things have already come to this, she can only grin and bear it.

“It’s not like she could force our uncle to disown his biological son and drive the mother and child back to Malaysia, right?

“It all depends on how he handles things going forward.”

Yan Ziruo’s tone suddenly shifted, and she said seriously, “Feifan, I’ve already warned our uncle. If he lets our aunt down, I won’t acknowledge him as my uncle anymore.

“Feifan, you have to be on the same page as me!”

Yan Feifan declared his stance, “Don’t worry, Sis. When it comes to major family matters, I’m always on your side.”

Yan Ziruo smiled with satisfaction. “That’s my good brother! Alright, I need to hurry back to Phoenix Mountain Villa. I’ll see you tomorrow…”

Yan Feifan watched his sister drive off in her Beetle. He then pulled out his wallet from his pocket, took out a credit card, and handed it to Yu Suye beside him.

Yu Suye took the credit card and blinked at Yan Feifan in confusion.

Yan Feifan explained, “My sister applied for this credit card for me when I first started working.

“I haven’t used it much, but the credit limit has kept increasing. It’s up to one hundred and fifty thousand now.

“Didn’t you say the money you earn is barely enough? You can swipe this card as much as you want from now on. You don’t have to pinch pennies anymore.”

Yu Suye felt a warm current of happiness surge through her. Her entire body felt delightfully warm, and every pore relaxed in comfort.

He had taken her casual remark to heart.

“Feifan, can I really swipe it however I want? I won’t hold back, you know!”

“Swipe it however you want,” Yan Feifan said magnanimously. “Even if you max it out, it’s only one hundred and fifty thousand.

“That little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket for me…”
