The dinner was quite lively.
With Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, who love to show off, the atmosphere was lifted even if the other women were aloof.
Everyone also drank some alcohol, but not much, just symbolically.
There have been many things happening recently, so for Wuyue, Lin Lan, Yang Xiaodong, and Wang Zhenjun, they still had a lot to deal with tonight. How could they dare to drink too much?
Drinking affects work, which isn’t just talk but a real fact.
After dinner, Lin Lan was ready to leave with Wuyue, saying she had to continue with some work.
Luo Ziling’s performance today was quite satisfying to Lin Lan, so her mood was good.
Luo Ziling originally thought Lin Lan would cling to him tonight, asking for some compensation, but unexpectedly she was heading to work, which surprised him.
However, as she was leaving, Lin Lan whispered to him, "I’ll come find you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziling shuddered inside.
Apparently, he was relieved too early; certain women’s temperaments don’t change just because they take off their military uniforms.
Luo Ziling left with Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin said her waist was aching a lot today and asked Luo Ziling to help massage her.
After asking, Luo Ziling finally understood that Yang Qingyin was on her period, hence the heavy feeling in her waist.
Luo Ziling felt relaxed instantly and followed Yang Qingyin happily, saying he would help her with a good massage.
While helping Yang Qingyin with the massage, Luo Ziling asked her quietly, "Did your mom say anything to you?"
"Nothing special," Yang Qingyin shook her head, "Mom doesn’t want me to get involved in too many things, so she doesn’t tell me a lot. She thinks it’s best for a woman like me to live simply, and things that don’t require my worry, I should just leave them be."
"That makes sense!" Luo Ziling agreed with Chen Qiaoyu’s perspective; he decided to chat with her himself someday.
Yang Qingyin also mentioned other things to Luo Ziling.
She told Luo Ziling that her grandfather, Yang Yuanshan, was already preparing to invite Luo Ziling’s family for a meal.
But the exact day to invite them to the old house for dinner hasn’t been finalized yet; it will be decided after Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan return.
Luo Ziling responded, "My parents are coming back tomorrow afternoon; I’ll ask them about it tomorrow night."
"If they’re back tomorrow, I’ll ask them myself!" Yang Qingyin smiled shyly, "They’ve returned from their honeymoon; I should also go and see them."
"That’s fine!" Luo Ziling did not refuse.
"When can we go on a trip?" Yang Qingyin asked Luo Ziling, "When will the things you’re busy with be done?"
"I can’t say for sure!" Luo Ziling was a bit embarrassed, "And by then, we’ll just go whenever it feels right. A spontaneous trip is really nice too."
"Alright then." Yang Qingyin did not refuse.
While massaging Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling mentioned Hu Jianbo’s matter, saying he didn’t expect the deputy general manager of Northern Group to be Ling Zhengping’s man.
He felt that there were several people in Northern Group whom Ling Zhengping planted or bought off.
"With nearly one hundred thousand employees at Northern Group, it’s not surprising that some were bought off." Yang Qingyin grinned, further saying, "Other members of Ling Family surely wouldn’t want such a large enterprise to be taken away by your mom; they must have other thoughts. I think Hu Jianbo’s matter can be handled with a high profile to warn others. Some who are hesitating will change their attitude. Those who have been bought off will reconsider too. After all, nobody wants to have the money but not be alive to spend it."
"True!" Luo Ziling considered Yang Qingyin’s suggestion quite good but said he would discuss it with Ling Ruonan before deciding.
After chatting for a while, Yang Qingyin told Luo Ziling that he could leave whenever, and she wouldn’t need him if she fell asleep.
Yang Qingyin thought tonight Luo Ziling surely had things to take care of and wouldn’t stay by her side.
With all these occurrences needing Luo Ziling’s attention, Wuyue and Lin Lan were busy after dinner, and Luo Ziling must inquire about them.
Yang Qingyin being so understanding moved Luo Ziling, making him feel somewhat guilty.
However, some things really weren’t under his control – when women are very assertive, sometimes he can only comply.
Around ten o’clock at night, Lin Lan sent a message to Luo Ziling, saying she would come over shortly.
Luo Ziling did not object.
Today was a special day for Lin Lan, and Luo Ziling felt that apart from letting her have her way, there wasn’t much more he could do to express gratitude.
Luo Ziling’s compliance made Lin Lan quite satisfied.
When together with Luo Ziling, Lin Lan expressed her determination and said that after coming over to work, she would certainly help Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling share responsibilities and relieve them of some worries. "I’ll cooperate well with Wuyue, and once Shanque comes, the three of us women will definitely manage your mother and son’s affairs well, so you don’t have to worry about most things."
"Women can hold up half the sky, I trust you all." Luo Ziling expressed his trust in Lin Lan, "You’re like family to us."
Luo Ziling’s words moved Lin Lan a bit but she didn’t say anything further.
Finally, Lin Lan made a request.
This request was previously made by Phoenix, and Lin Lan was just reminding Luo Ziling under Phoenix’s order.
Former Dragon Rise deputy staff officer Wang Xingbing had tried to plot against Phoenix and other team members several times during his tenure.
This person had a poor character and was opportunistic. Surprisingly, he got a promotion chance and went to headquarters to serve.
"We almost died at his hands." After saying this, Lin Lan pleaded with Luo Ziling to drag this person down and make sure he falls out of luck.
Luo Ziling agreed without hesitation and said he would find a way to handle this.
The next morning, just as Luo Ziling was about to head to class, he received a call from Zhao Guosheng’s secretary.
Zhao Guosheng’s secretary inquired if Luo Ziling was free this morning, and if so, invited him to come over to treat Zhao Guosheng.
"The chief caught a cold, and his spirit is not well. We hope Doctor Luo can come over for a treatment."
Luo Ziling thought about it and felt the things he had planned for the morning could be postponed, so he accepted Zhao Guosheng’s secretary’s invitation.
Afterward, Zhao Guosheng personally called to thank Luo Ziling for taking time out of his busy schedule to help.
"General Zhao doesn’t need to thank me; I also have a matter to ask him for help!"
"Feel free to say anything. As long as I can assist, I will certainly do my best." Zhao Guosheng promised without reservation.
"I’ll discuss it when I come over!"
Luo Ziling thought that today he could help Lin Lan solve the issue with Wang Xingbing.
Thus, he called Lin Lan and asked her to send him Wang Xingbing’s information.
