Seeing Xu Chen like this, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh, "Women can be really scary. I think if we were the same age, I might already be lying beneath your sweet words and be obediently at your feet. Just looking at you standing there, many men would want to carry you to bed and conquer you recklessly."
Luo Ziling’s blunt words made Xu Chen blush, but she found it thrilling and couldn’t help but display her charm again.
But after teasing her, Luo Ziling sat down on the sofa, and Xu Chen had no choice but to sit down too.
After sitting down, Luo Ziling didn’t joke anymore but started talking to Xu Chen seriously about other matters.
He told Xu Chen that the fight between the Ling Family and the Chen Family had reached a boiling point, and unless unexpected things happened, it would be resolved soon.
Nobody can be careless during this period, leaving something that others can use against them.
Hearing Luo Ziling’s instructions, Xu Chen’s expression changed slightly.
She immediately agreed and promised to be extra cautious, making sure not to give anyone leverage over her.
Luo Ziling trusted Xu Chen quite a bit, believing that she would repay in the same manner and become a significant helper for him and Ling Ruonan. Hence, he instructed Xu Chen to be more stunning when gathering information at tomorrow’s wedding and to do something at the wedding.
After listening to Luo Ziling’s reminder, Xu Chen readily agreed to make an appearance at the wedding tomorrow so more people would notice her presence.
"I’ll step out at that time and bravely represent the wedding guests to have your mom and dad talk about their love story from back then, how about that?"
"No problem!" Luo Ziling agreed and wanted Xu Chen to make a scene.
Xu Chen agreed with a smile.
After spending about an hour with Xu Chen, Luo Ziling finally stepped out.
As he was about to leave, Xu Chen joked again, "You come to my room and only leave after more than an hour. Some nosy people might think, wow, Mr. Luo is really incredible, being able to last more than an hour!"
"I didn’t expect you to be so flirtatious!" Luo Ziling squinted at Xu Chen, "Really got your eye on me, huh!"
Xu Chen revealed another charming smile and said softly, "Dare not wish for Mr. Luo’s favor! But if I could have one chance in my life to be with you, there’d be no regrets. Any woman would be satisfied to sleep with such a handsome and renowned young guy!"
Luo Ziling was momentarily speechless and responded cheekily, "How about this: you work for us, and I’ll give you that chance?"
Unexpectedly, a mere joke brought Xu Chen’s loud, enthusiastic response: "No problem, I remember it, just don’t break your promise!"
"Serious women being flirty are truly terrifying!" Luo Ziling waved at Xu Chen, "Hope by the end of the year, both of us will hear some good news!"
"If there’s good news, let’s celebrate it well then!"
After leaving Xu Chen’s room, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but sigh.
This woman, when it comes to seduction, is indeed somewhat irresistible.
Luo Ziling fully believed that Xu Chen dealing with Zhu Hanjun was easily manageable.
Luo Ziling was merely concerned about whether Xu Chen could maintain control.
She just shouldn’t get herself dragged into it.
She’s a talent and also Ling Ruonan’s best assistant; losing her would indeed be a pity.
After leaving Xu Chen’s room, Luo Ziling went to see Ding Zhongming.
Ding Zhongming knew that Luo Ziling would definitely come to see them separately, so he waited in his room.
He just didn’t expect Luo Ziling to stay in Xu Chen’s room for over an hour before coming out.
Xu Chen’s charm, he knew very well, so after Luo Ziling stayed there for over an hour, he had some wild imaginings.
Luo Ziling, with his handsome appearance and good physique, combined with Xu Chen’s mature charm, the two might very likely get entangled together.
Ding Zhongming could smell Xu Chen’s fragrance on Luo Ziling, reinforcing his speculation.
However, he only dared to entertain these gossips in his mind and wouldn’t say anything aloud.
After exchanging a few polite words, they moved on to the main business.
After getting a position in the province, Ding Zhongming was grateful for the support of Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan.
Upon seeing Luo Ziling today, he specially expressed his gratitude.
Luo Ziling told him to do his work well, not to engage in corruption or misconduct, and his future would surely go beyond the present.
Ding Zhongming quickly stated that his family background was good and he was living comfortably, so he wouldn’t think about corruption.
He insisted that he valued his future above all and held himself to strict standards, maintaining high moral integrity, not mingling with those who like to take little advantages, and striving to achieve accomplishments.
Officials with upright characters, serious in their work, and with accomplishments are many, but most have not had smooth sailing in their appointments.
Opportunities are hard to come by, and so are patrons, leaving many with lifelong regrets.
Someone like Ding Zhongming who could find a mentor is already very lucky.
He himself understood this well and cherished this opportunity.
Even if he saw Luo Ziling and Xu Chen having a fling in the room, he wouldn’t spread the word and would even cover for them, even take the blame.
Ding Zhongming’s words left Luo Ziling quite satisfied.
After leaving Ding Zhongming’s room, he went to find Wu Jiandong.
Wu Jiandong didn’t have as much trust from Luo Ziling compared to Ding Zhongming or even Xu Chen.
Therefore, he didn’t receive much help from Luo Ziling.
Wu Jiandong himself sensed this too.
Still in Yuezhou, he expressed his desire in words, saying he had been in Yuezhou for several years and hoped to see and try something new elsewhere, bringing the experience of developing Yuezhou to other places. Yuezhou’s development had been pretty good in the economically advanced Jiangnan Province, consistently ahead in development. With the construction and opening of the Trans-Oceanic Bridge, Yuezhou’s development would only become better and better.
The rail transit connecting Qiantang and Yuezhou has also begun construction, making Yuezhou’s future development very promising.
Luo Ziling understood Wu Jiandong’s meaning but didn’t make any direct promises, just advised him to focus on doing a good job without making mistakes, and opportunities would surely arise.
Luo Ziling told Wu Jiandong that Xu Chen might not stay long in Yuezhou and asked him to help Xu Chen with work.
He also mentioned to Wu Jiandong that Ling Ruonan was very satisfied with Xu Chen and wanted to have her assist at her side.
Luo Ziling saying this directly left Wu Jiandong both surprised and happy.
He envied Xu Chen but also realized that Luo Ziling was willing to give him a chance.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have talked to him directly about this.
Luo Ziling even asked Wu Jiandong about his future expectations, making Wu Jiandong even happier.
He openly shared his thoughts, saying he hoped to have a position at the provincial level, even if it wasn’t in Jiangnan Province.
"You should be able to get your wish!" Luo Ziling replied with a grin.
The feeling of being able to influence others’ destinies is truly wonderful.
Luo Ziling genuinely felt the allure of power.
