Lin Lan arrived at the headquarters of Northern Group half an hour later.
When a young girl doing things outside led Lin Lan in, Luo Ziling was messaging Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin sent a message asking what Luo Ziling was busy with.
Luo Ziling replied, saying he was working at Northern Group and had just accomplished a big task by exposing an internal spy.
Yang Qingyin seemed very surprised.
But she tactfully didn’t ask anything, just advised Luo Ziling to be careful and communicate more with Ling Ruonan, and not to make decisions lightly.
After sending back two smiling emojis, Yang Qingyin sent a message: "Alright, you busy yourself first, I’ll reach out later."
When Luo Ziling received Yang Qingyin’s message, Lin Lan just came in, and Luo Ziling put away his phone.
"My retirement application has been approved, but Shanque’s hasn’t been approved yet as we submitted at different times." Lin Lan walked up to Luo Ziling and directly reported the matter, saying her retirement had been approved, then she looked up at Luo Ziling, "From now on, I’m no longer a soldier, not a fighter of Dragon Rise, you have to take me in."
Luo Ziling reached out to pinch Lin Lan’s cheek, lovingly saying: "No problem, as long as I have a bite to eat, you won’t go hungry."
Lin Lan slapped away Luo Ziling’s hand, annoyed, "Do you want the whole company to know we have something going on?"
"We have more than just one leg, we’ve got many, haven’t we?" Luo Ziling laughed and said, "Your leg skills are quite impressive, I..."
"If you say another word," Lin Lan, blushing with anger, looking furious, said: "I’ll shoot you with one bullet!"
"Don’t be so violent!" Luo Ziling hurriedly conceded, then immediately asked, "You came over today, not just to tell me this, right?"
"I’ve retired, shouldn’t you arrange for my next job?" Lin Lan sat on the sofa, glaring at Luo Ziling, "These past few days I didn’t reach out to you, and you stayed silent, not caring about my affairs?"
"How dare I approach you!" Luo Ziling also glared at Lin Lan, annoyed, "Didn’t you say before not to call you casually? Even if I did, it often wouldn’t go through!"
"It’s different now, I’m no longer a soldier!" Lin Lan’s face showed a tinge of sadness as she spoke.
Taking off the military uniform was still very reluctant for her.
For anyone who has worn the military uniform, taking it off is a moment filled with reluctance.
Some can’t control their emotions, weeping bitterly.
Shared military service, enduring hardships together, ranks first in life’s four greatest bonds.
The feeling towards the military uniform and comrades is something those who haven’t worn it can’t understand.
Especially for special forces soldiers like Lin Lan, who have faced life and death and walked the Ghost Gate Pass countless times.
Luo Ziling didn’t want to see Lin Lan sad, so he quickly changed the topic.
"My mom returns tomorrow, how about you come with me to pick her up? Talk to my dad about it, and then report to my mom to see how she wants to arrange it?"
"Sure!" Lin Lan readily agreed.
Then she talked about the things she had been busy with recently.
Lin Lan wasn’t idle but worked with Wuyue, Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and others.
Some investigation achievements were Lin Lan’s contributions.
With no other constraints, Lin Lan had more time and energy for these things.
After discussing these matters, Lin Lan left.
Lin Lan left decisively, and when she mentioned going to find Wuyue, Luo Ziling still couldn’t react.
He checked the time, Lin Lan was in and out in less than half an hour.
This woman really doesn’t dally with things, coming and leaving decisively.
Luo Ziling knew that Lin Lan went to find Wuyue, the two women would definitely discuss the matters he had assigned.
Now that Lin Lan has left Dragon Rise and is no longer a soldier, she has no psychological burden in handling these matters.
However, watching Lin Lan leave, Luo Ziling felt somewhat uneasy.
He felt that Lin Lan coming specifically to tell him this was not just to inform him.
This significant matter that could affect her life shouldn’t just be spoken about and forgotten.
She wanted him to express something.
After thinking it over, Luo Ziling called Lin Lan, intending to invite her to dinner.
"Why are you inviting me to dinner?" When Lin Lan received the call, she had just taken the elevator to the underground parking lot, walking to her car while asking Luo Ziling, "Is it to celebrate with me?"
Luo Ziling chuckled, "This shouldn’t be celebrated, right? But since you’ve made such a big decision, marking a new turn in your life, it should be commemorated. How about we have some drinks and you can chatter a bit?"
"That’s all?"
"What else do you want?"
"Alright, I’ll come find you later, tonight you’re all mine!" Lin Lan said, not giving Luo Ziling a chance to say more, she hung up directly.
Luo Ziling was left feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Luo Ziling didn’t stay much longer at the Northern Group headquarters, leaving shortly after Lin Lan did.
Before he left, he solemnly instructed Jin Yan on some matters.
Jin Yan was still quite nervous, not daring to decline Luo Ziling’s instructions.
After leaving the Northern Group headquarters, Luo Ziling went to Northern Film and Television.
These days, Luo Yuqing has often been there.
The TV series she was hosting was nearing completion, now almost in the editing and patching up stages.
Scenes or shots that needed reshooting were summarized and arranged for shooting collectively.
Once the reshoots were completed, the sample film could be produced.
After seeing the effects of the sample film, further post-production editing would be done, and once editing was complete, the entire TV series would be nearly finished.
Once production is complete, it will be sent for approval, and after passing, it can be aired.
Of course, there are many things to do before airing, but those aren’t very important.
When Luo Ziling arrived at Northern Film and Television, Luo Yuqing was busy, so Luo Ziling didn’t disturb her.
Fortunately, Zhao Lijing wasn’t busy, so Luo Ziling called her over to discuss some matters privately.
There were no filming tasks today, so Yang Ying, Cheng Binbin, and several other main crew members didn’t come to the company, just Zhao Lijing was there.
As long as she was in Yanjing, Zhao Lijing went to the company every day, working almost a standard nine-to-five schedule.
The reason, of course, was to get familiar with the company’s operations as soon as possible for better management in the future.
Luo Ziling called her over mainly to discuss these matters.
Although Zhao Lijing had accepted Luo Ziling’s arrangement, she still felt a bit uncertain.
She was also a bit awkward, afraid of what others might say.
Rumors can be terrifying.
Nothing had happened between her and Luo Ziling, everything was clean and clear, but if rumors spread, she would feel very uncomfortable.
If there really were rumors, she’d rather have something happen between her and Luo Ziling.
So, when facing Luo Ziling, she was somewhat restrained, unsure how to express her feelings.
