Twenty Million for Absolute Control

Faced with Dean Wang's doubts, Jin Xia explained unhurriedly, "Your hospital is still operating at a loss. You haven't recouped the twenty-five million you invested, and if you keep operating this way, you'll close down within a year."

Her tone was utterly certain, and her gaze remained unwavering as she looked at Dean Wang.

The hospital's registered capital was only twenty-five million.

She was putting up twenty million. Asking for a seventy-percent stake wasn't unreasonable, was it?

Dean Wang folded her arms and hesitated for a long while. "Ms. Jin, I imagine you're twenty at most this year. Investing isn't as simple as you think..."

Jin Xia stood up at once, glancing back at Dean Wang with apparent disdain. "If I can put up twenty million to invest, of course I'm looking for a return. Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need to waste time."

"Ms. Jin, we can sit down and discuss this!"

Seeing that Jin Xia was leaving, Dean Wang immediately panicked.

She hurried after her. "Here's the thing. Our hospital has several other shareholders. Although I run the hospital, I don't have the sole say. Could you give us time to hold a shareholders' meeting and discuss it?"

Business Affairs came in from outside, carrying an exquisite platter of cut fruit and some cake.

She exchanged a glance with Dean Wang and immediately understood. "An investment is no small matter. We need to hold a shareholders' meeting, and we also need to verify your funds beforehand. Would that be convenient for you?"

Verify her funds?

The corners of Jin Xia's lips curved upward. "Anytime."

To Dean Wang, that certainty was yet another blow to the head!

She might have offended her god of wealth!

She hurriedly put on an air of authority as she addressed Business Affairs. "What's this about verifying funds? If Ms. Jin is confident enough to offer a twenty-million investment, I trust she has the means!"

"Then arrange my friend's treatment first."

Jin Xia spoke casually. "An hour should be enough, shouldn't it?"

"Well, this..."

Dean Wang looked around, deeply troubled.

Remembering how Jin Xia had stood up to leave just now, she swallowed the words about it being inconvenient that had already reached her lips.

Jin Xia was right. The hospital had invested too much in the early stages, spending it all on big-ticket purchases such as medical equipment. Subsequent staff training hadn't kept pace, and the hospital's account balance had continued to decline.

At this rate, it really wouldn't be long before the hospital faced the risk of closure. They couldn't afford to wait!

Jin Xia glanced at Dean Wang, who was seated before her. "Can you do that?"

Dean Wang nodded quickly and agreed readily. "For something this important, I'll contact the other shareholders right now."

This time, Business Affairs arranged for the director in charge of treatments to come over, then said to Jin Xia with an apologetic smile, "Ms. Jin, I'm truly sorry. I've already reviewed the surveillance footage. Our staff training was inadequate, which made your experience this morning unpleasant. I've already fired those two employees."

"Mm."

Without looking back, Jin Xia strode toward the elevators.

Business Affairs enthusiastically introduced the hospital's treatments and strongly recommended that Jin Xia take Zhang Ru for an in-person consultation.

With a deferential manner, she told Jin Xia, "Ms. Jin, please rest assured. Our hospital is fully licensed, and the specialists we've hired really are top academicians from Korea. If anything during the consultation makes your experience unpleasant, please let me know at any time."

Over the course of the process, Jin Xia did find the hospital professional.

For this era, their medical team, equipment, and facilities truly ranked among the best.

Standing outside the consulting room, Zhang Ru was a little nervous and uneasy. "Jin Xia... am I really getting my face done? It's my first time. I don't have any experience. I just searched online, and it said facial treatments could even cause facial paralysis. Does this count as cosmetic surgery?"

"Skin-booster injections will, at most, give you the stable skin condition you'd get from regular skincare. Don't worry. I'll wait right outside."

Jin Xia spoke calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in her tone.

She patted Zhang Ru's shoulder reassuringly.

Zhang Ru summoned her courage and followed the doctor in a white coat into the consulting room.

An hour later.

When Zhang Ru came back out, she still had a facial mask on.

Overjoyed, she jogged over to Jin Xia. "Jin Xia, cosmetic surgery isn't nearly as painful as I imagined! You know, getting those skin-booster injections didn't even hurt. The doctor said my face would recover in a week, and then it'll be like a peeled hard-boiled egg!"

"Let's go."

Jin Xia casually picked up the bag she had tossed onto a nearby chair.

Business Affairs followed close behind, a fawning smile never leaving her face. "Ms. Jin, Dean Wang is holding a meeting with all the shareholders. They should be finished by now. Shall we wait in the reception room for a little while?"

Jin Xia gave a slight nod, while Zhang Ru beside her was beside herself with excitement. "Holy crap! Does this mean I'm about to witness an epic deal? Jin Xia, you really plan to invest twenty million in their hospital? Don't you need to call your parents for permission?"

Indeed, from Zhang Ru's perspective, they had only just started university!

For Jin Xia to casually invest twenty million at her age, shouldn't she report it to her parents?

Unexpectedly, Jin Xia shook her head and said nonchalantly, "No need."

Business Affairs had been observing Jin Xia's expression all along. From her calm, composed manner of speaking, it wasn't hard to see that this young girl had a powerful background and considerable resources!

When Dean Wang arrived at the reception room, she brought the contract with her. "Ms. Jin, take a look. These are the best terms I could secure for you. A twenty-million investment will get you a sixty-five-percent stake. We're showing considerable sincerity."

Sixty-five?

Jin Xia lowered her eyes and considered it for a moment. "I need absolute control. From now on, the hospital's reforms and its future development plans must all follow my approach."

"Well, about that..."

Dean Wang hesitated briefly, then hurriedly changed her tune when she saw Jin Xia's brows knit slightly. "None of that is a problem! From our conversation today, Ms. Jin, it's clear that you're quite knowledgeable about our industry! Besides, you're young, so you have a better understanding of the market for young people's needs."

It was nothing but flattery. Long accustomed to remaining unmoved by praise or humiliation, Jin Xia showed not the slightest change in expression.

Yet before Jin Xia could say anything, another woman's voice came from nearby-

"Dean Wang, don't let her fool you!"
