Chapter 802 - 802 802 Dont Trust Beautiful Women Too Much

Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Don’t Trust Beautiful Women Too Much Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Don’t Trust Beautiful Women Too Much Today’s the sixth update.

Ling Ruonan had Luo Ziling follow her to the Northern Group headquarters.

It had just turned two in the afternoon, and since it was a workday, Ling Ruonan still had business to deal with at the Northern Group headquarters.

Luo Ziling readily agreed and obediently followed Ling Ruonan.

Although Ling Ruonan brought Luo Ziling to the Northern Group headquarters, she did not let him appear publicly. Instead, they took the private elevator through the parking lot, directly up to the floor where the president’s office was located.

Outside Ling Ruonan’s office, Luo Ziling saw Li Jing again.

Seeing Luo Ziling, Li Jing was naturally very surprised and quickly got up to greet him.

The other few people in the office were also aware of Luo Ziling’s identity, and all stood up to greet him with great respect.

Luo Ziling was somewhat uncomfortable with this scene; he merely nodded politely, greeted Li Jing individually, and after standing and chatting warmly with her for a few moments, he followed Ling Ruonan into her office.

“Do you know why Great Grandfather scolded you?” Ling Ruonan began discussing matters as soon as they entered the office, “It was because you crossed his line, and that’s why he scolded you in person.”

“How did I cross his line?” Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Luo Ziling couldn’t help getting angry, “How the Ling Family treats me, and how the Yang Family wants to put me in a deadly situation, aren’t those crossing my lines? They repeatedly cross my lines, can’t I do something that crosses theirs? Why can they get angry at me when I cross their lines?”

Ling Ruonan was stunned there, she hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to lash out at her like this.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s agitated expression, Ling Ruonan realized he had misunderstood her, and quickly went over to him, whispering, “I’m not blaming you, I’m just analyzing the situation with you.”

“Mom, I’m not angry with you, I’m furious at their actions. Why is it that only officials may set fires, and commoners aren’t allowed to light lamps? They can hurt our interests without a second thought, so why can’t we hurt theirs without them becoming intolerant? Why?” Luo Ziling expressed his frustration.

Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling’s hand, softly speaking, “Ling’er, our status and power aren’t comparable to theirs, and our strength can’t even match theirs. We need to learn to be reserved and not be aggressive in everything we do. Often, showing strength is not equivalent to victory. It’s good to bend and stretch, and sometimes bending helps us to stretch out better later. Tell me, was what happened at the Yang Family Old House intentional on your part?”

“Mom, if we can exploit the conflicts among the major families, then we could survive in the cracks, right?” Luo Ziling didn’t intend to hide his thoughts from Ling Ruonan, “Without the conflict between the Yang and Ling families, I certainly wouldn’t have dared to act recklessly in the Yang Family Old House. Of course, I didn’t dare be certain until after everything had passed, only then did I realize I could really take advantage of the conflicts between the families.”

Although Ling Ruonan had anticipated it, she was still slightly surprised hearing Luo Ziling admit it directly.

“When I was in the small mountain village, I studied military tactics and ‘The Thirty-Six Stratagems,'” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, “though I can’t claim to apply them flexibly, I do have some understanding. I just didn’t expect that my careful thoughts would actually work.”

“Alright, I am relieved that you could think this way and act accordingly; you are indeed more capable than your father and more adaptable,” Ling Ruonan affirmed Luo Ziling, then added, “I also hope you can grow gradually and eventually hold your ground in Yanjing, rather than being a little boy who can’t share my worries. But I still have to remind you: under the current circumstances, we cannot afford to be overly aggressive in our actions.”

“Mom, I understand,” Luo Ziling knew Ling Ruonan said this for his own good, thus he didn’t argue and obediently nodded.

Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more but told Luo Ziling to rest for a while before she headed back to school for class.

She had Wuyue prepare some fruit for Luo Ziling to eat, brought him some pastries, and brewed some tea.

“Mom, is Sister Wuyue the person you trust the most?” Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan after Wuyue had left, “How many years has she been with you?”

“It’s been five years now. She joined me when she was twenty, and this year she’s twenty-five,” Ling Ruonan sighed softly, “She is a very good person, very loyal to me. I can entrust her with anything. Why do you ask?”

“If you were to take a position at the ministry, you could leave her in charge of Northern Group for a while,” Luo Ziling said with a smile, “Of course, that’s just my idea; I know you must have your own plans.”

“Everyone in the senior management of Northern Group was personally promoted by me. I don’t want to hand over the company to anyone else,” Ling Ruonan said, looking seriously at Luo Ziling, “You should know that I plan to pass Northern Group over to you. This conglomerate, worth at least a hundred billion, is essentially a private asset I’ve set up for you. Once you’re capable of managing the business, I’ll let you take the position here. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?”

Excited by what Ling Ruonan had said, Luo Ziling still shared his thoughts, “Mom, I have absolutely no experience in managing businesses, and Grandfather hopes I can revive Huaxia’s traditional medicine and encourages me to study medical knowledge extensively. I’m not sure if I can manage Northern Group well, so…”

“Do you mean that, if I follow the family’s arrangement to take a position at the ministry, I should let Wuyue handle the affairs of the group while you oversee Wuyue alone?” Ling Ruonan guessed Luo Ziling’s intention.

“Something like that. Since you trust her so much, I think she’s quite capable. She has always been by your side, familiar with you as well as with the company. Having her manage the specifics could actually be quite good,” Luo Ziling said, chuckling.

“Alright, I’ll consider your suggestion,” Ling Ruonan nodded lightly, but then firmly reminded Luo Ziling, “Never trust anyone too much, especially beautiful women.”

“What?!” Luo Ziling was greatly surprised.

But Ling Ruonan didn’t say anything more and had Wuyue drive Luo Ziling back to school.

On the way, Luo Ziling made a request to Wuyue, “Sister Wuyue, when can you teach me to drive, if you could?”

Wuyue glanced at Luo Ziling and eventually nodded lightly, agreeing, “Alright, if you want to learn, I’ll teach you.”

“If I don’t learn to drive, I won’t have the chance to drive the sports car that I won.”

Wuyue gave Luo Ziling a curious look but said nothing.

“Sister Wuyue, I just suggested to my mom that, if one day she takes a position elsewhere, you should take over managing the affairs of Northern Group. You’re definitely capable,” Luo Ziling said.

“What?” Upon hearing Luo Ziling say this, Wuyue was shocked and braked a bit too hard, causing the car’s speed to drastically slow down.

However, she quickly regained control of the vehicle, though the surprise on her face did not diminish.
