The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2360 2360: Worthy of Your Admiration

Ling Ruonan gestured to Luo Ziling and then answered the phone.

Luo Ziling didn’t lean in to eavesdrop but sat to the side eating fruit.

Ling Ruonan had a lot of fruit here, mostly sent over from the South.

Recently, the rain in the South has paused, and the quality of the fruit has improved significantly, tasting much better.

About five minutes later, Ling Ruonan ended the call and sat next to Luo Ziling.

During those five minutes, Luo Ziling ate at least two peaches and over fifty bayberries.

Seeing the pile of bayberry pits in front of him, Ling Ruonan was dumbfounded. “Didn’t you have lunch?”

“I ate too much at lunch, needed some bayberries to help digest!” Luo Ziling grinned.

“You really can eat!” Ling Ruonan rolled her eyes, “Eating so much at once, aren’t you worried?”

“Not at all, there’s no pesticide.” Luo Ziling said, tossing another bayberry into his mouth, and as he ate, he asked Ling Ruonan: “Mom, what did Fang Zhonghua say just now?”

“He wants to visit me to discuss some cooperation matters face-to-face.” Ling Ruonan’s smile faded, and her expression turned a bit serious: “I guessed it right, the Fang Family must have sensed something and is preparing to show their stance in a way we understand.”

“So when are you planning to discuss cooperation matters with Fang Zhonghua?”

“We’ll see, probably in the next couple of days.” Ling Ruonan said with a wry smile, “Not all Fang Family members are good people.”

“Mom, what you said is very philosophical.” Luo Ziling gave Ling Ruonan a thumbs up, “There are a few good people in the Fang Family, but also many bad ones. The same goes for the Ling Family, some good ones and some bad ones. If there were a few more good people like you, the world would be at peace.”

“Watch your words.” Ling Ruonan glared at Luo Ziling, “Stop nagging, get ready. You have to give a speech later! You are now the largest shareholder of the Northern Group. I’ve already transferred most of the shares to you, and this has been circulating within the company. Today, we’re making it official to let everyone know what’s going on. You need to address this, share your thoughts on the company’s long-term vision and short-term goals, and let everyone get a clear understanding of you.”

“Your Majesty, you are wise!” Luo Ziling responded solemnly and made a funny gesture.

Ling Ruonan burst out laughing, lightly hitting Luo Ziling, “There you go, talking rubbish again.”

“Alright, stop rambling, and get prepared. Don’t get stage fright later; make sure to show some spirit and impress everyone.” After giving a couple more instructions, Ling Ruonan called Jin Yan in to prepare a PPT for Luo Ziling.

Jin Yan spent more than half an hour helping Luo Ziling prepare a PPT that suited his status perfectly.

After a quick glance, Luo Ziling was quite satisfied.

At one-thirty in the afternoon, the Northern Group’s monthly high-level meeting was held at the conference room in the headquarters building.

The monthly meeting required the attendance of high-level leaders from all branches and departments.

Ling Ruonan listened to their reports.

The reason for the rapid development of the Northern Group was precisely because of Ling Ruonan’s diligence.

It was also due to Ling Ruonan’s diligence that the large Northern Group remained firmly in her control.

No matter where the branch was, as a department leader, attending the headquarters’ monthly meeting was mandatory, except in cases of major events approved by Ling Ruonan, otherwise, a written report was required afterward. Otherwise, disciplinary action would be taken, or even removal from the position. Although such governance was somewhat impersonal, it was very effective.

The Northern Group became a cohesive whole; those disloyal to Ling Ruonan or inefficient leaders could not stand firm here.

Ling Ruonan could quickly identify any corporate anomalies and provide handling instructions.

Over the years, Ling Ruonan had no one else around her; her husband and son were far away, so she could be considered a single woman with no family responsibilities, having plenty of time and energy to handle company affairs.

She also wanted to use hard work to dispel her inner loneliness.

Now, the entire Northern Group has adapted to her work rhythm—those who didn’t were eliminated.

Ling Ruonan felt her management style was very effective, so she wanted Luo Ziling to continue it.

But she knew that Luo Ziling wouldn’t have as much time and energy as she did, so she planned to continue overseeing company affairs even if she handed over the Northern Group shares to Luo Ziling. Major decisions would still be made by her personally.

Everything just needed to be presented through Luo Ziling.

As the meeting time approached, Ling Ruonan tidied up her attire and helped Luo Ziling get ready, then indicated for him to accompany her to the meeting room.

The Northern Group headquarters had several conference rooms, and the monthly high-level meeting was held in the one on the floor with the CEO’s office.

As Luo Ziling followed Ling Ruonan to the meeting room, he saw many men and women dressed very formally approaching from the elevator or stairs. As Ling Ruonan appeared, they all stood in place and took a few steps back on either side of the corridor to greet her as she passed by.

Seeing the respect shown to Ling Ruonan by her subordinates, Luo Ziling felt quite emotional.

Today, as he accompanied Ling Ruonan, he also experienced the collective respect of the Northern Group’s high-level staff, feeling a bit elated.

This conference room could seat about two hundred people, and the number of Northern Group executives was roughly the same.

The room was nearly filled, and standing in front of so many attentive eyes was quite pressuring.

However, Luo Ziling faced it all calmly.

He and Jin Yan stood behind Ling Ruonan.

When Ling Ruonan approached the podium to speak, there was a warm applause from the audience, and it lasted for a long time.

“My mom is quite prestigious!” Luo Ziling whispered to Jin Yan standing beside him, “She really is like a queen.”

“Your mom is the queen of the Northern Group.” Jin Yan looked at Ling Ruonan with admiration and whispered back to Luo Ziling: “She was the princess of Yanjing, and now, after building the Northern Group so powerfully, she naturally is the queen in everyone’s heart. Young Master, you should know, your mom is the goddess to many male employees in the company. Some bored people voted for the most beautiful female in the company, and your mom gets the most votes every day.”

“Ha, it’s not just because my mom is pretty, right?”

“Of course, it’s also because she’s so capable, making most men feel ashamed.” Jin Yan’s eyes sparkled, “Anyway, she’s the person I admire the most.”

“In the future, you should admire me; I’m handsome and capable, too, worthy of your admiration.”

Jin Yan: “…”
