The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2354 2354: A Change in Attitude

(There will definitely be an extra update this weekend)

“Wang Zhengqiang and Lin Zeping have not gotten along for a long time, they’re always at odds. In terms of ability, Wang Zhengqiang should be stronger, but he has always been involved in administrative work, so he was pushed to his current position. I believe you’ve seen it too, our Huaxia has indeed developed well and achieved significant accomplishments under his tenure in that role. Lin Zeping doesn’t really understand economics, but he was unwilling to let Wang Zhengqiang handle all the administrative work, so he wanted to be the team leader when the economic work group was established. This matter made the relationship between the two even more tense.”

At this point, Ling Mingrui laughed self-deprecatingly: “At the time, the other members were happy to see them argue, so they didn’t take a stance, which eventually let Lin Zeping become the team leader. Unfortunately, he’s really not cut out for economics, and some of his suggestions have now been proven to be bad moves.”

“Grandfather, then why let him continue to meddle in economic work?” Luo Ziling was quite puzzled.

Ling Mingrui gave Luo Ziling a meaningful look and said earnestly: “Haven’t you figured out why they are arguing?”

Luo Ziling smiled wryly: “But shouldn’t people’s interests be considered?”

Ling Mingrui didn’t answer directly but spoke some philosophical words: “Many things are unknown before they’re done. Whether it’s good or bad, sometimes we only know the result afterwards, and sometimes even after the result comes out, we still don’t know. Evaluating a person, sometimes even after they are gone, we cannot conclude.”

“Alright, I understand!” Luo Ziling nodded, made a move, and then asked: “Grandfather, how should I get along with Wang Zhengqiang and his daughter? Should I take revenge on Lin Zhengdong for his tricks against me?”

Luo Ziling asking these questions made Ling Mingrui quite happy, but he didn’t answer immediately and instead asked: “Who do you think can do a better job.”

“Actually, I don’t know much about them, so I can’t conclude!” Luo Ziling shook his head but then quickly said: “But since you speak of Wang Zhengqiang like that, it shows he is more popular and more capable, at least he can bring more benefits to the people, right?”

Currently, Lin Zeping, Wang Zhengqiang, Ling Mingrui, Fang Xiang, Chen Ruchang, Yang Yuanshan, and a person named Wu Dongfang form the highest Group of Seven.

Wu Dongfang mainly handles disciplinary inspections and rarely shows up. Anyway, Luo Ziling has never dealt with him face-to-face or even seen him. He has had some dealings with the other six.

But the ones he knows more about are Ling Mingrui, Fang Xiang, Yang Yuanshan, although he has only briefly met Wang Zhengqiang and Lin Zeping. As for Chen Ruchang, Luo Ziling had already added him to the blacklist.

But to evaluate these seven people and say which one is better at governance, it’s hard for him to judge.

Even those working closely with them would likely find it difficult to make an assessment.

After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ling Mingrui chuckled but didn’t speak, and continued playing chess.

After thinking for a while, Luo Ziling asked Ling Mingrui: “Which person would you want to influence Huaxia’s economic development? Or who do you think is more suitable to be in charge of economic work?”

“Collective wisdom is the most important.” Ling Mingrui said, almost leaving Luo Ziling speechless.

After pondering, he asked again: “If Wang Feiyang arranges for me to meet his father in the next few days, should I agree?”

Actually, the meaning behind this question is similar to the previous one, at least when Luo Ziling voiced it.

“If he wants to see you, would you still put on airs?” Ling Mingrui shot Luo Ziling a glance and placed a chess piece heavily on the board.

Luo Ziling was not discouraged and asked again: “What if Lin Zeping wants to see me, what should I do?”

“Just go see him, you’re not too busy to meet them. If they want to meet you, it’s your honor. If you can get on TV, it can enhance your reputation!” At this point, Ling Mingrui reminded earnestly: “Meeting with them and chatting doesn’t mean anything. You have many enemies now, and it’s best not to offend people if you can avoid it. Having good relationships with these big figures is very useful for you.”

“Grandfather, I understand!” Ling Mingrui’s words made Luo Ziling feel quite grateful.

After a few more moves, Ling Mingrui asked Luo Ziling: “How are the things you’re in charge of going now? Any difficulties?”

“No difficulty at all!” Luo Ziling knew Ling Mingrui was asking about the laboratory and new subject setting issues, “The Traditional Medicine Laboratory doesn’t need too many advanced instruments, as long as there are enough precious herbs, results can be achieved. The setup of the new discipline, the people in the school are responsible for most of it. We just need to take care of the main teaching tasks. As long as they don’t make mistakes, we won’t have any problems. I’m sure Principal Li and Dean Wu are more anxious and will devote more effort.”

“That’s true!” Ling Mingrui nodded.

“Principal Li and Dean Wu treat me very well.” After saying this, Luo Ziling looked up at Ling Mingrui and, seeing no unusual reaction, continued: “They also want me to speak well of them in front of you and see if they can move to a different position.”

“Did you agree?” Ling Mingrui asked blandly, not even looking up as he spoke.

“I agreed to talk to my mom, but I didn’t promise them I’d talk to you, nor did I make any guarantees.” Luo Ziling glanced at Ling Mingrui again, then said: “But I think they’re both quite good, straightforward people who can’t reach the highest level, but they can be helpful in some areas.”

“You’ve got some brains!” Ling Mingrui placed another piece on the chessboard, then after placing a piece, he said: “The officials in Jiangnan Province you recommended to your mom last time are indeed quite good and worth cultivating.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziling immediately smiled: “I think they have some ability and are relatively clean. If they can be promoted, it will definitely be helpful for you, Grandfather. After all, Jiangnan Province is wealthy, and working there can easily yield results. By the way, has my mom ever mentioned a woman named Xu Chen? When I went to Yuezhou this time, she made a point of being friendly to me. I think this woman is quite capable, with no blemishes, and has a lot of experience in officialdom, much more capable than the average official.”

“Your mom has mentioned this person, and the few officials from Zhonghai that you thought were good were also mentioned.” Ling Mingrui did not deny these things, and he was willing to discuss these matters with Luo Ziling, “You have a good eye for people; in the future, if you encounter someone you think is good, you can directly tell Grandfather.”

When Luo Ziling heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

He never expected that Ling Mingrui would actually recognize his abilities in this area and even encourage him to directly recommend talents.

This feeling of being trusted really brings a kind of weighty excitement.
