Zhao Jinxi and Chen Yingying were initially stunned, but then both became excited!

"Brother Sanming, I always knew you were the coolest!"

Zhao Jinxi lunged forward and gave Liu Sanming a peck on the cheek.

Perhaps she was too happy and forgot that Chen Yingying was right there.

Seeing this, Chen Yingying blushed instantly, feeling that Zhao Jinxi was too bold.

But considering their sibling relationship, she didn't overthink it.

Liu Sanming rolled his eyes at Zhao Jinxi, "Maybe it's not me who's cool, but the RMB."

"Haha, friends never speak the truth that hurts. Yingying and I calculated, the initial investment is roughly one million. You won't think it's too much, right, Brother Sanming?"

Zhao Jinxi said with a cheeky smile.

Chen Yingying also felt a bit nervous.

Even though she had over three million in savings, she was cautious in spending due to having too many chains.

After all, she had a bunch of employees to support and plans for store expansion.

Luckily, Liu Sanming wasn't a penny-pincher.

What's more, in his eyes, sister-in-law Zhao Xue and little sister Zhao Jinxi were his real family.

He couldn't be stingy in spending money for family.

"I'll give you two million. Do your best with the business. I'll take a 55% stake but won't participate in management. If there's a loss, it's on me; if it's profit, we all share."

Liu Sanming said with a smile.

As if two million was nothing to him.

This generous display made Zhao Jinxi feel quite proud, since she was the one who brought in the investor, who happened to be her brother.

Chen Yingying's impression of Liu Sanming rose again.

He was amiable, dressed simply, generous with his money, straightforward in his dealings.

The kind of brother she wished she had...

Two million for a 55% stake wasn't much, especially since the company barely existed yet.

Moreover, with Liu Sanming not participating in management, Chen Yingying and Zhao Jinxi were free to do as they wished.

"Brother, you're indeed the best. I've always had a good eye!"

Zhao Jinxi lunged forward and gave him another kiss.

Liu Sanming laughed heartily.

There wasn't a hint of awkwardness between the two, making Chen Yingying a bit envious as she watched.

Being an only child, she had always fought her battles alone, without a brother or sister, naturally envying such relationships.

"Brother Sanming, you're truly generous. So let's settle it this way. If anyone else wants to invest, I'll refuse them. I'll draft the contract and bring it to you for signing later."

Chen Yingying said with a smile.

Liu Sanming nodded, took a sip of coffee, and his expression became somewhat serious, pulling back his smile a bit.

"Yingying, as your brother, can I say something off-topic? I hope you don't mind."

"Huh? What is it, Brother Sanming? Please feel free to say it."

Curiosity mixed with a bit of tension as Chen Yingying feared the two million investment might slip away.

Zhao Jinxi was also puzzled, wondering what off-topic subject it could be.

"Judging by your complexion, you seem to have a congenital heart condition. It seems quite serious. Have you seen a doctor for it?"

Liu Sanming said solemnly.

His immediate investment of two million upon meeting Chen Yingying might seem like trust in her abilities, or in Zhao Jinxi's recommendation, but there were other reasons.

Among the skills Liu Sanming inherited was physiognomy.

He observed Chen Yingying's face, noticing her small, fair nose with a deep look, and full nasal wings, indicative of fortune and prosperity.

Further observing the unmatched features on her face, he determined her future was limitless.

At the least, she would be wealthy; at the most, she could reach great heights in the world.

Thus, the possibility of loss from Liu Sanming's two million investment was negligible.

The only concern for Liu Sanming was the notable illness in Chen Yingying's facial features.

Sure enough, no sooner had he spoken than Chen Yingying was left agape in astonishment...

"Brother Sanming, you're amazing... No wonder people from the Li Family in Sea City seek your consultancy. I really have a congenital heart disease since childhood. I haven't even told Jinxi about it. I've been on medication all these years but haven't dared to have surgery. I'm afraid of dying..."

The reason she started earning money from high school was also that the medical expenses were too high, forcing her parents to live frugally.

She didn't want to be a burden to her parents, so she gradually became a business prodigy.

Zhao Jinxi, upon hearing this, found it quite miraculous, "Brother Sanming, you can read faces too? Then take a look at mine. What do you see?"

"I see five big words on your face."

Liu Sanming said with unusual seriousness.

"Huh? What five big words? Tell me quickly."

Zhao Jinxi urged.

Chen Yingying also looked on with curiosity.

"The five words are, 'You have a good brother!'"

Liu Sanming's serious expression gave way to laughter.

Only then did Zhao Jinxi realize he was teasing her, and pounded Liu Sanming playfully with her fists.

Liu Sanming dodged and laughed, "Alright, stop fooling around. I have something serious to discuss with Yingying."

Only then did Zhao Jinxi sit properly.

Chen Yingying chuckled awkwardly, feeling that Zhao Jinxi and Liu Sanming were truly playful siblings.

Sadly, she had never experienced such sibling camaraderie.

Due to her congenital heart condition, she didn't even dare to date, for fear of holding someone back.

"Yingying, according to Western medicine, surgery would be the only cure for your condition. But I believe Western medicine doesn't surpass traditional Chinese medicine in depth; many people only grasp its surface. If you trust me, I can cure you within three months. After that, you can fully pursue your business ambitions."

Looking at Chen Yingying, Liu Sanming spoke with even more seriousness.

Chen Yingying couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing this!

Since childhood, she's been either seeking treatment or undergoing it, having been to dozens of hospitals and seen countless specialists.

No one had ever dared to say her condition could be cured without surgery.

"Brother Sanming, you're not joking, right? How can it be treated without surgery? Acupuncture or herbs? I've tried those before without much effect."

Chen Yingying said with a bitter smile.

Zhao Jinxi remained silent, listening intently with curiosity.

"That's because you haven't met me. If I don't cure you in three months, I'll give you the two million worth of shares; I'm a man of my word."

Liu Sanming smiled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yingying turned red with excitement, "Really? How much will the treatment cost, Brother Sanming? I need to see if I can afford it."

She was well aware that treatments from renowned traditional medicine practitioners could be extremely expensive.

But Liu Sanming shook his head with a smile, "Since you call me brother, there's no need to talk about medical fees. The main treatment will be acupuncture and elixir. We can start the first session today, and do it once a week. You'll be cured in three months."

"Wow! Brother Sanming, you're incredible. Do you take students? I don't want to go to graduate school anymore; I want to learn physiognomy, traditional medicine, and exorcism from you."

Zhao Jinxi said with a face full of admiration.

"Get out of here, those require talent, and that's not where your talents lie."

Liu Sanming playfully patted Zhao Jinxi's head.

Zhao Jinxi immediately pouted, "Bad brother, are you saying I'm dumb? Hmph!"

Watching the two of them playfully bicker, Chen Yingying couldn't help but laugh.

The thought of her heart condition being curable without spending money made her deeply grateful to Liu Sanming.

"Brother Sanming, you're my true brother now. Whatever you need, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."

Chen Yingying said solemnly.

"Alright, no need to stand on ceremony. Let's move somewhere else, and I'll start the acupuncture treatment."

Liu Sanming said grandly.

Chen Yingying nodded quickly. Although her face appeared calm, she glanced down, feeling her eyes well up with emotion.

Besides her parents, no one had ever helped her like this, treated her so kindly.

At this moment, her fondness for Liu Sanming soared to the skies, feeling that he was a heavenly gift sent to her.

To her surprise, just as the three of them stood up, Liu Sanming seemed to recall something and seriously mentioned another point.

"Yingying, there's something I need to remind you. Before the acupuncture later, I'll be performing some Qi movements to invigorate your blood circulation. This will... require you to be undressed. Can you accept that?"
