Chapter 1420: Chapter 1420: Today I Want You

(I haven’t posted any additional updates in the past few days, but there will be extra updates on the last two days of the month, 5.30 and 5.31)

When Fang Dongxun was discussing matters with Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing, Chu Ming originally wanted to excuse himself, but was held back by Fang Dongxun.

This made her extremely excited.

However, she wisely did not interject and just listened quietly.

The preliminary plan they discussed today was for Fang Dongxun to take Luo Yuqing to negotiate the acquisition.

This was Luo Ziling’s own initiative; he hoped that Luo Yuqing could perform well and impress Ling Ruonan.

“Since we’re going to do this, we should do it thoroughly. I’ll handle it personally,” was how Fang Dongxun put it.

Luo Ziling naturally had no objections.

Luo Yuqing said that since she hasn’t started school yet, she wanted to be personally involved in the matter and join Fang Dongxun in the acquisition negotiations.

Of course, Fang Dongxun wouldn’t say no and readily agreed.

The final decision was that tomorrow morning, Fang Dongxun will take Luo Yuqing to discuss the acquisition with the person in charge of Qingniao Media.

The office of Qingniao Media is located in Yanjing, which is quite convenient to get to.

As for the other matters, they would be discussed after tomorrow’s negotiation is over.

After the meal, Luo Ziling took Luo Yuqing and left.

Luo Yuqing seemed very excited, chatting non-stop about the acquisition on the way.

Curiously, she asked Luo Ziling how much capital they could use, what amount would be for her to manage, and what role she was expected to have in the future company.

Luo Yuqing’s excited demeanor left Luo Ziling a bit torn between laughter and tears.

“Listen, Luo Yuqing, don’t get so worked up. You need to stay calm, or others will look down on you.”

“What’s wrong with getting excited in front of you? Did I get excited in front of anyone else?” Luo Yuqing was a bit defiant.

“Alright,” Luo Ziling conceded, as just now in front of Fang Dongxun and Chu Ming she indeed appeared very composed and reserved, a stark contrast to her current excitement, and he didn’t dwell on it, “How much capital we can maneuver, I need to discuss with Ouyang Feifei.”

“Why?” Luo Yuqing was a little puzzled.

“My money is all with her!”

“Why is it with her?” Luo Yuqing was still confused.

“My mom handed it over to her for management, to help with investments,” Luo Ziling explained and shared some investment details with Luo Yuqing.

Having heard the explanation, Luo Yuqing had an epiphany: “So, your mom sees her as your future wife.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

“I’m not talking nonsense,” Luo Yuqing said resentfully, “Turns out I was wrong. If I weren’t your sister and wanted to be your girlfriend, my biggest rival wouldn’t be Yang Qingyin, but Ouyang Feifei.”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Luo Ziling was even more torn between laughter and tears.

“Hey, you two, can you not talk about these things in front of me?” Yang Xiaodong, who was driving, protested, “I shouldn’t be privy to this gossip, I’m not interested in it.”

“You’ve got nerve complaining about knowing,” Luo Yuqing kicked the driver’s seat, “Don’t play coy after getting a bargain!”

“Look, Miss, you’ve really opened my eyes!” Yang Xiaodong complained with a downcast face, “I’m scared of you, okay?”

“Glad you know!” Luo Yuqing was somewhat proud.

“Where are you planning to go?” After leaving the place where they dined, Luo Ziling asked Luo Yuqing, “I need to go somewhere you can’t.”

After some thought, Luo Yuqing said, “How about this, I’ll go have another chat with your mom. We made progress today with the discussions with Fang Dongxun, and I’ll be joining her in the negotiations tomorrow, so I think I should talk to your mom again.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse, “once you reach the company, get in touch with Wuyue. She will take you up.”

Luo Ziling had Yang Xiaodong take Luo Yuqing there while he himself took a taxi to the Dragon Rise base.

“It’s so far away, will a taxi go there?” Yang Xiaodong hesitated a bit.

“As long as you pay, the taxi driver won’t refuse. Later, just come pick me up and we’ll return!”

“Okay!” Yang Xiaodong agreed.

So Luo Ziling got out of the car, hailed a taxi, and headed to the Dragon Rise base.

However, he ended up walking a lot more because the taxi was stopped from afar, not allowed to drive in.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to call Lin Lan to come and pick him up.

After receiving Luo Ziling’s call, Lin Lan only responded with an “okay” before hanging up.

Within less than ten minutes, a massive Hummer charged like lightning and came to a screeching halt next to Luo Ziling.

After opening the passenger’s door, Luo Ziling smiled and said to Lin Lan, who was driving: “How come you still haven’t changed your ways?”

“Why should I change?” Lin Lan pouted discontentedly, “I am who I am; if I change, I wouldn’t be myself anymore!”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling wisely chose to keep quiet.

Who knew, Lin Lan was dissatisfied again: “What, you don’t want to talk to me now?”

“Seeing that you’re not in a good mood today, I decided not to talk!”

“Since you’ve noticed I’m in a bad mood, you should keep me company and talk!” Lin Lan pouted her pretty lips discontentedly, “You need to comfort me a little!”

“This is totally not your character!” Luo Ziling was surprised, “It’s the first time I’ve seen you act coquettishly!”

“Seeing my first time, don’t you feel lucky?”

“There are even luckier ‘first times’!”

Lin Lan’s face flushed, she glared at Luo Ziling and said no more.

The vehicle quickly entered Dragon Rise’s compound, Lin Lan jumped out of the car, and without waiting for Luo Ziling, marched towards the small building where she lived.

Naturally, Luo Ziling followed.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, as soon as he entered the room following Lin Lan, this woman threw herself into his arms and kissed him fiercely.

This left Luo Ziling a bit bewildered, but ultimately he did not refuse Lin Lan’s initiative.

“Yesterday the commander looked for me and suggested I apply for retirement,” Lin Lan leaned into Luo Ziling’s embrace, her voice soft, “Is my body really not suitable for staying in Dragon Rise anymore?”

“You know that’s not the reason!”

“That’s good then!” Lin Lan, being a smart person, immediately understood what Luo Ziling meant, “Then I know what to choose!”

“Alright, let’s start your treatment. I will see how things are after the treatment. If it’s very good, you’ll just need to take some medication for a few more days and won’t need acupuncture!”

“Why not? You’re not interested in coming over anymore?” At that moment, Lin Lan sounded a bit like a stubborn young girl.

“It’s not convenient,” Luo Ziling paused for a moment, then said softly, “If it continues like this, it will be even more disadvantageous for you, and more people will persuade you to leave Dragon Rise!”

Lin Lan felt a sting in her heart, understanding Luo Ziling’s meaning, and she nodded her head gently, biting her lip.

Subsequently, without much more conversation, Lin Lan undressed and lay down to receive Luo Ziling’s treatment.

But what Luo Ziling did not expect was, towards the end of the treatment, Lin Lan softly uttered, “Today I want you!”
