The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2337 2337: It Might Be Ling Mingrui's Doing

Luo Ziling naturally understood what Ling Ruonan meant, and he replied with a troubled expression: “Mom, you’re kind of pushing me into the deep end.”

“Actually, the highest position makes things easier, you just need to manage a few deputies well. Knowing and using people well is key. After you return from the Northwest, you should spend more time on Northern Group, visit whenever you can, and become closer to the company’s top executives. If you can conquer them with your personal charm and earn their respect, it’ll be much easier for you to get things done, and I’ll be able to let go of Northern Group with peace of mind.” At this point, Ling Ruonan turned to Luo Liansheng: “Dad, I’ve already transferred 25% of the company’s shares to Ling’er. He is now the largest shareholder and actual controller of Northern Group.”

“I hope Ling’er doesn’t disappoint your expectations!” Luo Liansheng wasn’t too surprised, he just smiled.

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me when you were secretly doing all these things?” After saying this with a face full of frustration, Luo Ziling said excitedly: “Let me calculate, Northern Group’s total shares amount to ten billion. The current stock price is twenty-three yuan, the total market value is already two hundred thirty billion. Twenty-five percent of the shares, how much is that? Forty-six billion, can I make it onto the rich list now?”

“Those who make it onto the rich list indeed have money, but many who are truly wealthy won’t appear on that list.” Ling Ruonan smiled and then asked Luo Ziling: “How did you perform today?”

Upon hearing Ling Ruonan ask about this, Luo Ziling looked frustrated: “Mom, my performance today was incredibly terrible!”

Ling Ruonan was confused and looked at Luo Liansheng with doubt.

Luo Ziling hurriedly explained: “Mom, I hardly performed today, I was just following grandpa around. He did everything, he said everything, I hardly got a chance to speak.”

Ling Ruonan’s expression turned to one of surprise.

Luo Liansheng didn’t react much, just smiled and continued drinking tea.

Ling Ruonan didn’t ask Luo Liansheng anything, because Luo Ziling honestly recounted the day’s events.

After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ling Ruonan seemed thoughtful.

“Looks like my grandpa has compromised!” Ling Ruonan sighed, “He really cares about tangible things, he hasn’t completely let go. He still wants to live a few more years, to make the Ling Family more powerful.”

Luo Liansheng chimed in: “This is a great opportunity. Ruonan, since your grandpa has made his attitude clear, you should strive for benefits for Ling’er, and for yourself. If we don’t strive, the Ling Family won’t give it to us proactively. If we ask for it, they might give it to us; giving it to us won’t cause them any loss, but we’ll gain significantly.”

“Dad, I understand!” Ling Ruonan nodded, “I hope the Ling Family can continue to hold its current prestige, and that our Luo Family can grow and prosper. Tomorrow I’ll go see grandpa and talk to my dad about these things.”

Luo Liansheng nodded: “One day I’ll visit your dad for a drink, drinking with him is quite enjoyable, hope it continues to be fun.”

Ling Ruonan asked Luo Liansheng: “Dad, if Yang Yuanshan gets enraged by your words and negates everything he’s done before, how should we respond?”

“He won’t, he cherishes his life more than anyone!” Luo Liansheng laughed, “Since he cherishes his life, he won’t dare to gamble, he will definitely come to us for treatment. Plus, he also needs to consider the Yang Family’s interests. If he continues to argue over past matters with us, besides winning an argument, what else can he gain? If he lets go of his past prejudices and collaborates well with us, he’ll extend his own life and the Yang Family will gain much as well. Yang Yuanshan, as long as he’s not stupid, will make the right choice.”

“Let’s hope so!” Ling Ruonan gently nodded.

While Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling, and Luo Liansheng were discussing these matters, Yang Yuanshan, feeling rather affected, was drinking tea and chatting with Yang Qingyin at the Yang Family Old House.

“Grandpa, why did things turn out this way today?” Yang Qingyin said frustratedly, “I didn’t expect that you would have a dispute today.”

“That’s normal!” Yang Yuanshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Actually, Sir Luo has long wanted to tear off the mask and talk about these things with me, he just felt it wasn’t the time yet. He went to see Ling Jinhua this morning, obviously getting Ling Jinhua’s support, that’s why he directly put forth his demands. Ling Jinhua wants to live a few more years, so he needs to rely on them, the grandfather and grandson. Plus, this time Luo Ziling directly presented those who wanted to plot against him to the Ling Family, dealing him a blow. Ling Jinhua’s behavior is not surprising.”

“Grandpa, don’t you suspect that this might be a drama directed and acted by Ziling himself?” Yang Qingyin questioned with some doubt.

She knew her father Yang Yunlin harbored such suspicions, saying it might be Luo Ziling’s ruse.

She believed that many held similar suspicions.

But her grandpa seemed to harbor no suspicion at all, which made her feel puzzled.

“How could that be? If he were acting a ruse, he wouldn’t do it so poorly.” Yang Yuanshan shook his head, “It’s definitely some ill-intentioned people wanting to blame someone, wanting to make things even more complicated. Ha ha, let’s put it this way, some people wanted to eliminate dissidents, that’s why all these incidents occurred. Some people in the military were unlucky because the Fang Family abandoned them, punishing them a bit in the process. And the attack incident in Hengdian was likely a probing tactic by some people, seeing Luo Ziling’s intense reaction, they didn’t dare escalate the matter, fearing it would get out of control.”

Yang Qingyin listened, but felt completely puzzled.

What Yang Yuanshan said was somewhat chaotic, she was confused.

“Grandpa, I didn’t fully understand; who exactly wants to complicate things further?”

“Perhaps, it’s Luo Ziling’s grandfather.”

“Ah?!” Yang Qingyin was shocked, her mouth wide open, “Ziling’s grandfather?”

“Many things are orchestrated behind the scenes by him, though he won’t be blatantly obvious. He is merely going with the flow, using events planned by others to benefit himself and the Ling Family.” Yang Yuanshan said with a deep and insightful expression.

“But Ziling said that there might be others involved in these matters, Lin Zeping’s son and Fang Dongming from the Fang Family might have participated in matters targeting him.” Yang Qingyin spoke with some hesitation.

What Yang Qingyin said caused Yang Yuanshan’s expression to change slightly: “Did he really say that?”

There were some things that Yang Yuanshan wasn’t aware of.

For example, matters concerning Lin Zhengdong and Fang Dongming.

Even Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan just recently discovered some clues.

This led Yang Yuanshan to make some wrong judgments regarding certain things.

Upon hearing Yang Qingyin say this, he was truly shocked.

He immediately understood that his previous guesses might not be correct.

It seemed that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
