The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2352 2352: Another Unexpected News

Seeing Luo Ziling’s surprised expression as he looked at her, Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes at him and said sourly, “I thought you weren’t interested in this person.”

“Of course not!” Luo Ziling shook his head seriously, “I don’t like men, my sexual orientation is normal, I’m only interested in women.”

Ouyang Feifei stared at Luo Ziling in surprise for at least three seconds, then pouted indignantly, “Smooth talker.”

“So, tell me what’s going on.”

Ouyang Feifei finally collected herself and roughly explained what she intended to tell Luo Ziling.

Yesterday afternoon, Lin Zhengdong visited Lingyun Group headquarters, expressing his wish to cooperate with Ouyang Feifei.

“Isn’t he an official? Why would he come looking to cooperate with you?” Luo Ziling was quite surprised.

“For families like theirs, which official isn’t involved in business?” Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling as if he were naïve, “Just like your mom—do you think she’s more of an official or a businesswoman now?”

“She’s my mom; that’s her most important role,” Luo Ziling said seriously.

Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling peculiarly but ultimately didn’t dwell on the matter.

“He approached me, saying he wanted to cooperate and hinting that this was his father’s intention.” At this point, Ouyang Feifei glanced sideways at Luo Ziling and asked quietly, “What do you think this means?”

“Trying to poach!” Luo Ziling immediately judged, “Lin Family members know about our partnership, so they’re trying to poach. As the saying goes, with strong skill, there’s no wall you can’t breach. Wouldn’t you agree?”

“We don’t want to get involved in political conflicts!” Ouyang Feifei said firmly, “So, we don’t wish to get tangled up in these things.”

“But you’re already involved!” Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei as if she were being silly, “You think partnering with us doesn’t involve politics?”

“It affects politics, but we don’t participate in the fight.”

“You’re too naive!” Luo Ziling laughed, “Why don’t you go ask your grandfather whether the Ouyang Family is involved in political conflicts?”

“I’m asking you about the matter; why are you talking about so many unrelated things?” Ouyang Feifei was becoming impatient, “Can you tell me about the conflict between you and Lin Zhengdong?”

“Of course!” Luo Ziling nodded, “Actually, I haven’t met Lin Zhengdong before, never interacted with him—not even in passing.”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at Luo Ziling but didn’t say anything.

Luo Ziling then spoke at length about Lin Zhengdong and Fang Dongming teaming up in various actions against him.

In the end, he said gloomily, “It truly confirms the old saying, ‘A tree stands out in the forest, the wind must break it.’ Why must I be so excellent? Otherwise, I wouldn’t attract so much jealousy!”

Ouyang Feifei made a disgusted face, “Will you die if you don’t brag?”

“I’m not bragging! Just like your excellence, these are facts,” Luo Ziling spoke earnestly, “I’m only stating my outstanding qualities. I know my excellence incites a lot of jealousy—felt it keenly at the Ling Family Old Mansion. I’ve learned a lesson: if they envy and want to harm me, I just need to slap them back.”

With her intelligence, Ouyang Feifei immediately caught the subtext in Luo Ziling’s words.

She didn’t articulate it, simply said meaningfully, “Got it.”

“Many people only realize after they’ve been hurt, who can be bullied, and who can’t be bullied easily.” Luo Ziling said, chuckling, “And I’m not someone they can bully easily.”

“I will refuse the Lin Family’s overtures!” Ouyang Feifei reiterated her stance.

“I didn’t say anything,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “You guys aren’t willing to get involved in political conflicts, but Lin Zeping is the top man in Huaxia right now. Collaborating with them will boost your influence significantly.”

“Stop with the sarcasm, will you?” Ouyang Feifei was angry, “I’ve already stated my stance.”

“Then why did you come to discuss these things with me?” Luo Ziling furrowed his brow.

“I know there’s conflict between you and Lin Zhengdong, but you haven’t told me about it—how severe it is. You’ve never mentioned these things to me, so I’m not very clear about them.” Ouyang Feifei patiently explained, “So I thought to verify with you.”

“I only found out after returning from Hengdian, and there’s no supporting evidence,” Luo Ziling laughed, “However, when eating dinner at the Fang Family, Fang Xiang called Fang Dongming out and scolded him fiercely, punished him to kneel until he confessed to the trouble he caused.”

“Fang Dongming admitted to teaming up with Lin Zhengdong against you?” Ouyang Feifei looked surprised.

Luo Ziling nodded.

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’ll soon be heading to the Northwest, so I don’t plan to do anything,” Luo Ziling laughed heartily, “I’ll be there nearly two months; the place is isolated—many areas even lack cell signals, so events in Yanjing are unrelated to me.”

Ouyang Feifei understood Luo Ziling’s meaning but just rolled her eyes at him without saying anything.

Luo Ziling didn’t say anything either, simply drank his tea.

Ouyang Feifei wanted to ask where Luo Ziling was last night, to figure out what exactly happened between them.

But such things she couldn’t bring up, so she eventually left in frustration.

Luo Ziling knew why Ouyang Feifei was upset, but he didn’t steer the conversation in that direction, and when Ouyang Feifei stood up to leave, he didn’t try to stop her. After her departure, he didn’t stay in the office; instead, he asked Wuyue to accompany him for a stroll.

Today, Wuyue drove him over, waiting outside when he entered Ling Ruonan’s office.

Having been Ling Ruonan’s assistant for so many years, Wuyue held considerable prestige at the Northern Group.

Coupled with Luo Ziling’s reputation, the two scared many while touring the headquarters.

Company high-level and mid-level leaders hurried over when they saw Luo Ziling and Wuyue, displaying various obsequiousness.

Some career women they encountered flashed radiant smiles at Luo Ziling.

But with the cool beauty Wuyue there, no woman dared act out.

After their tour achieved the desired effect, Luo Ziling was very satisfied.

Around three o’clock, Ling Ruonan returned.

Upon returning, she brought news that caught Luo Ziling by surprise.

Chen Ruchang was unexpectedly hospitalized.
