The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2329 2329: Watch Your Words

Luo Ziling certainly wouldn’t tell such an embarrassing thing to another person, but Dong Xiaowan’s words severely hurt his self-esteem. He glared at her fiercely and said angrily, “I say, little girl, you can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly. Don’t think that just because I didn’t do anything to you, you can just…”

“What can I do?” Dong Xiaowan looked stubbornly at Luo Ziling, “Seeing how you lack both the heart and courage of a thief, that’s the only explanation.”

Luo Ziling and Dong Xiaowan stared at each other for a while, finally too lazy to argue with her: “Alright, think whatever you want. It’s none of your business whether you think I’m a man or not.”

After saying that, he ignored Dong Xiaowan and walked out of her office.

Seeing that Luo Ziling suddenly stopped arguing with her, Dong Xiaowan got a bit nervous, hurriedly chased after him, and grabbed his hand. “You haven’t agreed to what I said earlier. I’m doing the work of a secretary now, but without a proper title. Do you think that’s appropriate?”

Luo Ziling turned his head and looked at Dong Xiaowan’s face, which became more animated because of her excitement. He moved closer to her and said seriously, “Do you see any official position on me now? A person without a position having a secretary, isn’t that ridiculous?”

“How come you don’t have an appointment?” Dong Xiaowan wasn’t so easily fooled, “I have the documents here, appointing you as the head of the laboratory and the head of the newly established Traditional Medicine major. So many people are under your management, so many things are your responsibility, and you still say you have no identity? Hmph, you’re just an irresponsible man, leaving all the work to us. I’ve done so many practical things for you, and you aren’t even willing to give me the title of secretary.”

“That’s a fair point; I’ll think about it!” Luo Ziling said with a smiley face, “You’re quite diligent, being a secretary is indeed suitable. Isn’t there a saying, when there’s work the secretary does it, when there’s none…”

This catchphrase casually slipped out of Luo Ziling’s mouth, but he felt embarrassed to finish it.

Dong Xiaowan had also heard this phrase. Although Luo Ziling didn’t finish the sentence, she knew what wasn’t said next, and her face turned red.

“Bastard, scoundrel!” She let go of Luo Ziling’s hand and ran back to the office in a huff.

“Before we head to the Northwest, I’ll arrange a position for you, whether it’s as a secretary or another post, certainly with an appointment from the school. I’ll go find the school leadership now and ask about these things.” With that, without waiting for Dong Xiaowan to respond, he hurriedly left.

It was just past nine o’clock, and at ten, he was going to see Ling Jinhua with his grandfather, so Luo Ziling had about an hour of free time. He planned to find Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun. Coincidentally, Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun were discussing matters together.

Two school leaders together saved Luo Ziling some trouble; he didn’t need to look for them one by one, which was a relief.

On such days, the morning weather was still quite hot, and running around to find people was a tiring affair.

When he was almost at Li Jinhui’s office, Luo Ziling called Dong Xiaowan, asking her to come over as well.

Initially, Dong Xiaowan thought Luo Ziling was teasing her, so she refused angrily. But after hearing Luo Ziling’s solemn tone, asking her to bring all her work materials, she realized he was handling official business and readily agreed, coming over immediately.

“Mr. Luo, finally seeing you, the busy bee!” Upon seeing Luo Ziling come in, Li Jinhui cracked a few jokes, “I’ve heard the lab construction is more than halfway through, and the setup of several specializations is almost complete. Your teaching plans are also formally established, but I couldn’t find you to get an update. Pretty lucky day to have you personally coming to us today.”

“Principal Li, since I’m such a rare guest, what good tea do you plan to serve this student?” Wu Mingyun followed with a joke, “I know you have good tea here, but I’ve eagerly waited a few times and never tasted it. Shouldn’t we treat ourselves with Ziling’s luck today?”

“You rascal, you’re just eyeing my little stash of Da Hong Pao, aren’t you?” Li Jinhui scolded with a grin, “I only have a little bit of it, and you won’t even let that go? Isn’t that too much?”

Luo Ziling quickly mediated, “If the principals want good tea, I’ll bring some to you. I think I got a little Da Hong Pao last time; I don’t usually drink it anyway. You both like tea, so next time I’m at school, I’ll bring some over for you.”

“Alright then, you better not forget!” Wu Mingyun seriously reminded Luo Ziling, “If you fail to deliver on your promise, it would mar the character of a gentleman.”

The jokes hadn’t ended when there was a knock on the door. With Li Jinhui’s “Come in,” Dong Xiaowan’s pretty face peeked in.

Luo Ziling explained why he had Dong Xiaowan come over: “Dong Xiaowan has recently been responsible for the progress of several projects. She’s been very dedicated to these tasks. Today she’s here to report to the principals, so I’ll let her explain the laboratory construction and the preparation of the new major.”

Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun had already put aside their joking manner, both sitting up straight and looking serious.

After hearing Luo Ziling’s explanation, Li Jinhui nodded, “I was just planning to get an update about the preparations in various aspects, so let’s have Miss Dong report on the specific situation.”

“Highlight the important points; Principal Li and Principal Wu are very busy and don’t have time to hear our long speeches!” Luo Ziling reminded Dong Xiaowan, who was preparing to report on the situation.

Dong Xiaowan naturally agreed.

She set up her portable projector and closed the curtains.

Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun listened intently as Dong Xiaowan reported on the preparation of the laboratory construction and academic setup.

When they heard that the lab was now only missing raw materials for drug production, Li Jinhui’s eyes lit up.

He interrupted Dong Xiaowan and asked Luo Ziling, “Once the raw materials are procured, can we produce results?”

Luo Ziling nodded lightly, “Whenever Principal Li wants results, we can deliver results!”

“That’s great!” Li Jinhui sighed with relief, “I was worried you’d take years to produce results!”

“Principal Li, Principal Wu, I think our lab should be the fastest in Huaxia to produce results among all national-level labs once built. By then, lots of people will be amazed. But our results will be genuine, and you two principals will certainly have your moment of glory. As for us, we’ll just bask in your glory!” Luo Ziling said, then chuckled, “If you two get promoted because of it, be sure to treat us!”

Luo Ziling’s words instantly hit a sensitive nerve for both Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun.
