Chapter 1136 - 1136 1136 A Womans Thoughts Are Just

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: A Woman’s Thoughts Are Just Different Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: A Woman’s Thoughts Are Just Different Ouyang Feifei arrived quite late, not until nearly nine o’clock, after Chen Jiahai had left the Night North Bar.

Luo Ziling had originally thought Ouyang Feifei was angry, so she was reluctant to show up, but when he learned that Ouyang Feifei had only come after Chen Jiahai left, he guessed the reason.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t want to encounter Chen Jiahai, didn’t want to have any contact with him, which was why she arrived late.

Indeed, that was exactly what Ouyang Feifei was thinking; she didn’t rush over after knowing that Chen Jiahai would actually attend to offer congratulations.

Ever since she found out that her own secretary was actually a spy arranged by Chen Jiahai, to monitor her every move, Ouyang Feifei was filled with disgust toward Chen Jiahai. She didn’t want any further contact with him, feeling revolted just by the sight of him.

“Mrs. Ling, I apologize for my lateness,” as soon as she entered the private room, Ouyang Feifei said to Ling Ruonan, “I was held up by some matters.”

Of course, she wouldn’t admit that it was because of Chen Jiahai’s presence that she had been deliberately late.

Ling Ruonan didn’t mind; the fact that Ouyang Feifei was willing to attend the opening celebration of a small bar, and even made quite a scene, meant there was nothing to complain about even though she arrived late.

The luxury motorcade of Ouyang Feifei, once parked in front of the bar, was indeed impressive and not something ordinary people could match.

After greeting Ling Ruonan, Ouyang Feifei also exchanged pleasantries with Luo Ziling, Fang Dongxun, Yang Qingye, and other women, including Yang Qingyin, Chen Xiaoyi, and so on. However, after greeting them, she kept talking to Ling Ruonan.

Ouyang Huihui also came with Ouyang Feifei, but she seemed very reserved, not daring to talk to Ling Ruonan nor feeling comfortable greeting Yang Qingyin.

With Yang Qingyin around, she also found it inconvenient to approach Luo Ziling, so she had to squeeze over and chat with Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao.

After talking to Ling Ruonan for a while, Ouyang Feifei sat down next to Luo Ziling, who was conversing with Yang Qingyin.

“Congratulations, the bar is officially open, and you’ll now have a steady stream of income,” Ouyang Feifei said with a smile, “Have you ever thought of owning more assets like this in the future?”

“What do you mean, President Ouyang?” Luo Ziling smiled, looking at the carefully poised and ladylike Ouyang Feifei, “Are you hoping I’ll take over more bars?”

Ouyang Feifei’s expression remained calm as she responded, “It doesn’t necessarily involve taking things by force. You could acquire them or open new ones; anything’s possible as long as you have the vision.”

“I’m really not interested in those,” Luo Ziling honestly replied, “Otherwise, I would manage things myself and not hand them over to others.”

Sitting to the side, Yang Qingyin spoke softly, “Stop pretending you don’t understand. President Ouyang probably wants to collaborate with you!”

“Miss Yang is right,” Ouyang Feifei didn’t deny it, “I have quite a few assets in this area. If you’re interested, we could integrate them and co-manage them in a joint-stock arrangement.”

Ouyang Feifei’s proposal made Yang Qingyin feel uncomfortable, but she didn’t show it on her face. She just looked meaningfully at Luo Ziling, curious about his reaction and how he would answer.

Ouyang Feifei was clearly making a move on Luo Ziling in her presence, and Yang Qingyin knew it was intentional.

However, she couldn’t appear petty as her relationship with Luo Ziling had not yet reached a point of mutual interests; she couldn’t make decisions for Luo Ziling.

“In fact, you shouldn’t be looking to partner with me,” Luo Ziling said with a smile to Ouyang Feifei, “I’m of a much lower level. You should be discussing collaborations with my mother; you two are more on the same level of partnership, right?”

When Luo Ziling said this, Ouyang Feifei felt annoyed and glared at him before picking up her tea cup for a sip.

After taking a few sips of tea, she slowly said, “Actually, you could create more wealth than your mother; don’t you think the same?”

“Sure, that’s one way to look at it,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it but immediately added, “However, I’m still a student, and I’m not really interested in wealth management and investment. I want to live leisurely and without worrying about daily necessities. So, for me, it’s enough to have sufficient funds. This bar was acquired by chance and I couldn’t bear to give it up, thus I had to let my mom send someone to manage it. But if you want me to invest and make money, I don’t think I’m cut out for that, and I’m not interested either. So, I don’t mind if you want to cooperate with me to make money, but the specifics and legal methods need to be discussed with my mom.”

By the end, he reminded her again, “Before I start a family, my mom is my guardian, she can make decisions for me.”

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Ouyang Feifei wasn’t annoyed, but rather she smiled meaningfully, “That’s good, I will have a good talk with Mrs. Ling tonight.”

Yang Qingyin, who had been sitting quietly to one side listening to the conversation between Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei, frowned again at this.

From Ouyang Feifei’s tone, it seemed she had reached quite a few agreements of cooperation with Ling Ruonan, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such a proud smile upon hearing what Luo Ziling had said.

That is to say, at this moment, Ouyang Feifei was more favored by Ling Ruonan than she was.

Thinking of this, Yang Qingyin felt a sense of crisis rising in her heart.

“I don’t quite understand what you are discussing, so I won’t interrupt your business talks. I’m going to talk with other people,” she tactfully stood up and went to find her younger brother Yang Qingye to talk, planning to speak with Qingye for a bit before approaching Ling Ruonan.

Going straight to Ling Ruonan was just a bit too obvious in its intent.

Seeing Yang Qingyin stand up and leave, Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling with an amused but not quite smiling expression, “Your close female friend is jealous!”

Luo Ziling nodded nonchalantly, “That’s quite normal, aren’t you the jealous type?”

Ouyang Feifei shook her head and didn’t speak.

“That’s because you haven’t fallen for someone,” Luo Ziling said seriously, “If you like someone, you would definitely be jealous.”

At these words, Ouyang Feifei’s smile stiffened, and she looked at Luo Ziling, a bit annoyed.

But Luo Ziling seemed unbothered, chuckled, and said, “Women, being too smart and scheming isn’t good. Most men prefer girls who are simple, cute, and approachable. Highly intelligent and beautiful women either become nuns or someone else’s lover in the end. Hmm, I read this on the internet, not sure if it’s true or not.”

Ouyang Feifei was fuming with anger at Luo Ziling’s words, glaring daggers at him, she pressed with a lowered voice, “Do you think I’m with you because I’m scheming?”

“I’m not talking about you, don’t take it personally,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Time will reveal a person’s heart. Over time, relationships between people become clear. In many cases, my mom sees things more clearly, I should learn more from her.”

Ouyang Feifei was confused by Luo Ziling’s ambiguous words, glared at him a few more times, but ultimately didn’t ask anything further.

She stopped paying attention to Luo Ziling and stood up, heading in the direction of where Ling Ruonan was sitting.

Yang Qingyin was already sitting beside Ling Ruonan, chatting with her.

She didn’t hesitate to join their conversation.

Watching Yang Qingyin chatting happily with Ling Ruonan, and then looking at Ouyang Feifei who had taken a seat on Ling Ruonan’s other side, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly and shake his head.

Women’s thoughts can sometimes be really hard to understand.

He also quickly noticed something—that was, three of the most recognized beautiful women of Yanjing had miraculously ended up sitting together.

Wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if they could often sit together in the future?
