Luo Ziling invited Ouyang Feifei to sit in the CEO’s office.
With an orange long coat and her hair piled high on her head, revealing a swan-like slender neck, Ouyang Feifei captured everyone’s attention as soon as she appeared at Northern Group. Her beauty is truly breathtaking.
Luo Ziling has met her many times, but each time he sees her, he feels amazed.
Compared to Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei has an air of maturity and composure.
This mature beauty often makes people’s hearts flutter.
Beauty and handsome men are pleasing to the eyes, and everyone can agree on this point.
Therefore, when Ouyang Feifei walked into the Northern Group, she garnered all eyes on her.
Ouyang Feifei had long grown accustomed to such treatment, so she wasn’t affected by those curious glances at all, walking as if no one was around.
"As soon as you appeared, you stirred the hearts of the gentlemen at the Northern Group headquarters." Luo Ziling laughed as he welcomed Ouyang Feifei into the office, "Are you here to put on a show today? Or ready to overshadow all the white-collar beauties of the Northern Group?"
"I didn’t deliberately dress up just to meet you." Ouyang Feifei calmly looked at Luo Ziling, "So, don’t think too much about it."
"I was really scared you’d gone out of your way to dress up to see me." Luo Ziling retorted with a smile, "Since you didn’t, that’s best!"
While speaking, Luo Ziling boldly glanced at Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifei was immediately a little angry but ultimately just glanced at Luo Ziling twice before dropping the matter.
"What’s going on?" Luo Ziling asked softly while inviting Ouyang Feifei to sit down and bringing over the brewed tea. "Did something happen?"
Last night, Ouyang Feifei was very solemn in her words, making Luo Ziling feel that this matter was certainly unusual.
But last night, Ouyang Feifei didn’t say anything immediately, and today she didn’t show any unusual expressions, looking like it’s not a severe matter.
Thus, Luo Ziling was a bit curious.
"Someone is investigating our Ouyang Family, and they’re also looking into me." Ouyang Feifei slightly frowned and said softly, "To my knowledge, those investigating us aren’t ordinary people!"
"Who are they?"
Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling, her voice even softer, "It’s likely people under Wu Dongfang!"
"When did this happen?" Luo Ziling felt a sharp pang in his heart upon hearing this.
"About a week ago, we started noticing some people with secret identities approaching key employees of Lingyun Group, inquiring into things. They even requested us to provide accounts for them to review." Ouyang Feifei didn’t hide from Luo Ziling, briefly explaining the situation.
Luo Ziling asked again, "What about these past few days?"
Ouyang Feifei replied, "These days, there hasn’t been anything unusual, but I suspect their investigation is still ongoing."
"If it really is Wu Dongfang’s people investigating you and the Ouyang Family, then these days, they should have halted their actions." Luo Ziling said with a playful smile on his face.
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Feifei frowned even more tightly.
Luo Ziling briefly explained the situation where Wu Dongfang’s people were investigating him and Ling Ruonan, which he discovered, as well as Wu Dongfang’s subsequent reaction.
Upon hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ouyang Feifei’s expression changed.
But she didn’t speak immediately, instead bowing her head in contemplation.
After thinking for a while, she raised her head, looking at Luo Ziling with a resentful expression, "It seems that you all are increasingly distrustful of me."
"Don’t spout nonsense!" Luo Ziling retorted unhappily, "We didn’t know Wu Dongfang’s people would investigate your Ouyang Family. Such matters cannot be widely publicized; the fewer people know, the better. After all, this matter has too broad a scope. If word gets out that Wu Dongfang’s people are watching me and my mom, what do you think the outcome would be? Even if we’re unscathed, the damage to our reputation couldn’t be undone."
"Alright then!" Ouyang Feifei was merely acting petulant, but upon hearing what Luo Ziling said, she understood the seriousness of the issue and no longer blamed Luo Ziling for anything. "By the way, you mentioned earlier that after you found out they were investigating you, Wu Dongfang apologized to your grandfather and possibly wanted to explain this matter to your mom. Will his people continue investigating us?"
In these aspects, Ouyang Feifei’s influence is far inferior to Ling Ruonan’s.
Ouyang Family’s weakness is in the political realm.
Over the years, under Ouyang Lingyun’s efforts, this weakness of the Ouyang Family has been gradually compensated for, but their influence is not comparable to that of the Ling Family or Yang Family and other major families. If these big families or the national level decide to target them, they would still struggle to cope.
This is also why Ouyang Feifei was panicked upon learning about this issue, suspecting Wu Dongfang’s people were investigating their Ouyang Family.
"Why did you seek me out today?" Luo Ziling directly asked why Ouyang Feifei was looking for him, "Are you intending to inform me about this issue, or are you seeking my advice?"
"I’m telling you about this issue, of course, to seek your advice." Ouyang Feifei shot a glare at Luo Ziling, "Otherwise, why would I come to ask you?"
"I think the investigation into your family is just a small interlude." Luo Ziling chuckled, "Their purpose isn’t to take down your Ouyang Family but rather to target my mom and me."
"So you’re saying that investigating us is just a way to find crime clues against you, not to put our Ouyang Family to death?"
"I used to think you were very smart, but now I feel your intelligence is slipping."
Ouyang Feifei immediately became furious, and her eyes were extremely unfriendly as she looked at Luo Ziling.
"I feel the situation isn’t that simple." She stated firmly, "Our Ouyang Family, while our political status isn’t as high as other big families, our wealth isn’t negligible. If they pressure us a bit, we might be forced to cough up a lot of wealth. Who wouldn’t be tempted?"
"It seems you’re suggesting that when I’m out of money, I could extort you guys a little?" Luo Ziling jokingly looked at Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifei looked angrily at Luo Ziling, finally seeming to understand something: "You mean this matter won’t have any follow-up?"
Luo Ziling nodded: "Essentially that’s the case, at least there won’t be trouble within this year."
"And your countermeasures?" Ouyang Feifei asked Luo Ziling again, "I don’t think you’ll just leave things be!"
"We’re not really afraid of them investigating; they won’t find anything on us, we have no incriminating evidence." Luo Ziling looked seriously at Ouyang Feifei, "But everything is fear-driven; scapegoating is a pretty common tactic, so we must be wary. I hope that within that system, someone is willing to befriend us and give us a heads-up. If no one steps forward to befriend us, we’re willing to cultivate a few friends, in any way possible. Also, if this matter leaks into certain circles, the instigator will face pressure."
"I understand!"
