Seeing Ouyang Huihui’s daze, Luo Ziling had to continue: "My point is, first resume a normal life, let your grandfather and sister look at you in a new light. In this way, you can gain more recognition. Then, you can work hard for your goals, and everyone will support you. Don’t force anything, sometimes things come naturally at the right time. If you need my help, I will assist you, and when I need your help, maybe I’ll ask."
Ouyang Huihui was delighted upon hearing Luo Ziling’s words.
She promptly expressed her plans: "Although I agreed to take over the Ouyang family’s business in Europe, I don’t want to be a trader like my sister. I want to be an official, I want to pursue a political career."
Luo Ziling was very surprised.
Ouyang Huihui said proudly: "I admire your mother; I hope to become someone like her. If I want to enter politics, my family can’t help me much, but you can. I believe in my abilities; as long as I have the opportunity and platform, I can succeed in this path. At least, I won’t be worse than Wang Feiyang or Dong Xiaowan."
Ouyang Huihui comparing herself to these two surprised Luo Ziling greatly.
After thinking for a bit, he decided not to provoke Ouyang Huihui.
"Alright then, since you have this plan, work hard for it. Start preparing when you graduate from university."
"No, I want to start preparing now!" Luo Ziling agreed with her, Ouyang Huihui seemed very pleased, "School is a great platform, during your studies, if you serve in student clubs or the student council, you’ll be viewed more favorably after graduation. I’ve already thought it through; if I could get a role in the student council now, and stay at the school after graduation, I could secure a decent position within the school. Plus, you’re responsible for the laboratory recommendations and newly established disciplines. If I can stay, I can help you, maybe even take charge of these things."
"You want to compete with Wang Feiyang?" Luo Ziling seemed very surprised.
"Of course, why does she deserve your help?" Ouyang Huihui said with disdain, "She has her own resources and relies on her father, why stick with you? Isn’t she just trying to leverage you to gain help from the Ling Family and other families? Their ambition is too big, everyone knows it, how can they succeed?"
Ouyang Huihui’s extensive thinking left Luo Ziling speechless.
Ouyang Huihui continued: "And you are familiar with several school leaders, they’ll surely give you face if you say a word. I’ve talked to Yuqing about joining the student council, and she didn’t refuse. She also dislikes Wang Feiyang and is willing to help me compete with her."
"So how will you handle the affairs your family entrusted to you?" Luo Ziling was puzzled.
The Ouyang Family’s assets in Europe were considerable, now preparing to hand them over to Ouyang Huihui, yet she seemed indifferent.
"Even if I don’t manage them, there won’t be any issues; there’s always someone managing them. It’s merely transferring ownership to me, doesn’t mean I have to exercise management rights." After saying this, Ouyang Huihui seriously told Luo Ziling: "I haven’t talked about these thoughts with my grandfather. If you’re willing to help, I’ll discuss with him, and I’m confident he’ll agree."
After pondering today’s conversation with Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling seemed to realize something.
Ouyang Huihui’s earlier request for his help was similar in meaning to her later statements, just not clearly expressed initially.
Ouyang Huihui’s goals were numerous, ready to accept the assets given by the Ouyang Family, and also wanting to utilize them effectively.
She desires both substantial assets and political achievements, wanting both fish and bear paw.
This woman’s ambition is quite high.
Seeing Luo Ziling in deep thought, Ouyang Huihui felt she had convinced him, quickly adding: "If I secure a good position after graduation, it’ll be easy to assist you later. You’re currently gathering allies everywhere, right? A hero needs three helpers; I’ll definitely become one of your greatest supporters in the future."
Finished speaking, she pleaded coquettishly: "Will you help me? Please? I’ll give you the best reward and won’t let you feel any embarrassment or inconvenience again. Even if you want me to be your lover, no one will know, not Qingyin, my sister, your mom, or Luo Yuqing. Trust me, I can certainly keep my promise, as long as you help me succeed."
Listening to Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling thought of Wang Feiyang.
Wang Feiyang’s actions were almost identical to what Ouyang Huihui was now proposing.
Luo Ziling nearly believed the two women had conspired to trick him.
But he quickly dismissed this thought.
It could only be said that some women’s ideas are pragmatic, willing to take shortcuts to fulfill their dreams and achieve goals.
And when women seek shortcuts, the choices available are limited.
Luo Ziling did not immediately promise anything to Ouyang Huihui, nor did he directly reject her. He politely said: "Discuss your thoughts with your grandfather and sister first; if they have no objections, then consider it further. There’s still time before you graduate. If you wish to join the student council, I can talk with Principal Li, which shouldn’t be difficult, as your capabilities aren’t lacking, and your reputation at school is also strong."
"Alright!" Ouyang Huihui breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ll talk to my grandfather about this when I return to Yanjing. You must keep your promise and help me get into the student council. I’ll definitely thank you then...with a big feast!"
"It’s getting late, go rest. Once you’re done here, return to Yanjing early. I’m heading back tomorrow; my mom will likely return either tomorrow night or the morning after, I need to sort some things out." Luo Ziling said, standing up once more.
This time, Ouyang Huihui didn’t hold Luo Ziling back but stood up with him.
As they headed towards the elevator, Ouyang Huihui softly asked Luo Ziling: "Did you know Yang Qingyin came to me yesterday?"
"I know; she told me!"
"Did she tell you what we talked about?"
"No!"
"I promised her I wouldn’t bother you anymore." Ouyang Huihui lowered her head, "As I said, whatever I do, I won’t let them know; you must trust me."
"Alright, I trust you. Hope you give me a surprise, okay?" Luo Ziling didn’t want to say much more to Ouyang Huihui.
As they parted, she softly murmured: "As long as you treat me well, I’ll also perform well, giving you many surprises."
