Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: Who Is It

Around nine o’clock, Luo Ziling received a call from Ouyang Feifei.

Originally, Luo Ziling didn’t want to answer it.

But looking out the window and seeing Ouyang Feifei’s motorcade stopped at the door, he eventually picked up the call.

“I’m at your doorstep, you can’t possibly refuse to let me in!” Ouyang Feifei’s voice sounded a bit pitiful.

“Alright, I’ll open the door for you,” Luo Ziling said, then hung up the phone, and opened the electronic gate.

Ouyang Feifei got out of her car and entered the villa’s gate.

But Luo Ziling still hadn’t gotten out of bed, continuing to laze around in bed.

About five or six minutes later, Luo Ziling heard footsteps coming upstairs.

Then, the door to the room was gently knocked.

“The door’s unlocked!” Luo Ziling shouted without energy.

Ouyang Feifei, standing at the door, obviously hesitated for a moment before finally twisting the handle and coming in.

Today, Ouyang Feifei wasn’t wearing her usual professional suits, but a bright orange overcoat, with a turtleneck sweater underneath.

Her hair wasn’t tied up high as usual, but hanging down over her shoulders.

Very pure and pretty.

Although Luo Ziling was still holding a grudge against Ouyang Feifei, he had to admit, she looked bubbling with beauty in this appearance.

After closing the door, Ouyang Feifei walked straight to the bedside, looking a bit awkward and very concerned, she asked: “How are you feeling…?”

“What if I say, you’ve ruined my sexual bliss, what are you going to do about it?”

Ouyang Feifei was stunned by Luo Ziling’s response but soon realized he was just talking out of anger.

“Sorry,” Ouyang Feifei’s cheeks flushed again, “I really didn’t mean to do it!”

“You haven’t answered my question!”

Ouyang Feifei fell silent, unwilling to answer the question.

Luo Ziling also fell silent, both of them awkwardly stuck in the moment.

“Are you really hurt… very badly?” Ouyang Feifei ultimately broke the silence.

“Don’t believe me? Want to see for yourself?” Luo Ziling said, preparing to remove his sleep pants.

Ouyang Feifei’s face turned even redder, but she didn’t say anything, just bit her lip and watched Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling remained silent, but he did not take off his sleep pants.

“I know you’re doing this to tease me, I’m sorry,” Ouyang Feifei apologized again and stood up, “You rest, I’ll leave first!”

“Don’t bother!” Luo Ziling felt somewhat angry, and promptly lay down.

Ouyang Feifei took a couple of steps, but ultimately turned back, sat down beside Luo Ziling.

“I trust your medical skills, but if… you really are… I will stay with you for life!” Having said this, she grabbed Luo Ziling’s hand, squeezed it firmly, and then stood up and left.

This time she did not look back.

Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit bored, and continued to try to fall back asleep.

He actually dozed off again, until a phone ringing woke him up.

“You can’t be serious, you’re still sleeping,” The call was from Luo Yuqing, and upon hearing Luo Ziling’s muffled words, she growled somewhat through gritted teeth: “You lazy pig, this is too much. Would you believe that in a bit I’m going to show up with a knife and chop you into pieces?”

“Isn’t that a bit too vicious?” Luo Ziling glanced at the time, it was already past ten thirty, but he still spoke nonchalantly to Luo Yuqing: “By the tone of your voice, it sounds like you’ve been violated.”

“Yeah, I’ve been humiliated, are you coming to rescue me?”

“Who dares to bully my sister? Looks like they’re itching for trouble,” Luo Ziling said as he sprang out of bed, “I’m on my way!”

“Hmph, that’s more like it! Hmph, who would dare to insult your sister!”

“Alright, enough complaining, tell me about the negotiation first.”

“With Miss Luo taking charge, how could things not go well?” Luo Yuqing said proudly, “Of course it was a success!”

“Tell me in person when you see me,” Luo Ziling said, and then asked Luo Yuqing loudly, “Where are you guys?”

Luo Yuqing didn’t respond immediately; she was talking to someone beside her. After a while, she said, “Mr. Fang suggested we celebrate at the place we ate at yesterday, so we’re heading over there. You can just come directly there.”

“Okay!” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and readily agreed.

Hurrying out of bed, he took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, then left the villa and hailed a taxi outside the residential community, heading straight for Yanjing Grand Hotel.

Yang Xiaodong had some business to attend to, possibly because he saw him sleeping in, thinking he wouldn’t go out today, so he went to handle matters.

Luo Ziling didn’t ask Yang Xiaodong to pick him up and took a taxi instead.

It was only after he got into the taxi that Luo Ziling realized he hadn’t had breakfast.

Ling Ruonan had left him a message, saying that there was breakfast in the kitchen and to help himself when he got up.

Luo Ziling decided he would return earlier, finish the breakfast Ling Ruonan left for him before she returned, so as not to make her feel bad.

By the time Luo Ziling arrived at the Yanjing Grand Hotel in a taxi, Fang Dongxun had already secured a private dining room and ordered dishes.

One of the hot dishes had already been served, but they hadn’t started eating yet.

“I didn’t have breakfast and am starving,” Luo Ziling said as he sat down and immediately began eating.

The same four people as yesterday, including Chu Ming dressed as she was the day before, sat beside Fang Dongxun, and Luo Yuqing who made an effort to dress up and appear more mature and composed, sat opposite them.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s ravenous state, Luo Yuqing hummed discontentedly, “How can you act like this in front of a girl?”

“My image in front of girls is too good already, I’m planning to tarnish it to stop them from constantly bothering me!”

Chu Ming, who was drinking tea, was amused by Luo Ziling’s shamelessly boastful remark and sprayed out the tea she was drinking.

Luckily, she reacted quickly, hurriedly took a wet wipe, and covered her mouth.

But even so, she couldn’t stop coughing, clearly having inhaled some water into her lungs.

Luo Yuqing, amused by Luo Ziling’s shamelessness, said, “I really want to pour this cup of water over your head to see if you’ll still be smug.”

“Alright, I was just joking to cheer you up. Tell me, how did the negotiation go?”

Fang Dongxun, who had been cheerfully observing everything, slowly said after hearing Luo Ziling’s question, “The negotiation went smoothly; the other party agreed to our investment. The conditions you (Yuqing) proposed were that our three parties invest together in Qingniao Media, each contributing two hundred million in funds, totaling six hundred million to purchase fifty-five percent of Qingniao Media’s shares. Our three families would act in concert, having joint voting rights on the board.”

“Fifty-five percent of the shares are worth only six hundred million, it seems Qingniao Media is currently valued much less than it should be,” Luo Ziling was a bit surprised.

“Indeed, that’s the case,” Fang Dongxun nodded, “before the crisis erupted, such market value would have been worth at least six billion.”

“I was the one who drove the price down,” Luo Yuqing said with pride.

Luo Ziling gave her a thumbs up, and Luo Yuqing appeared even more proud.

“There’s something we didn’t anticipate before,” Fang Dongxun said after taking a sip of tea, “Qingniao Media’s downfall was the result of someone deliberately suppressing it.”

Luo Ziling paused and then asked with a frown, “You mean, someone deliberately suppressed it and is now looking to purchase it at a low price?”

“Yes!” Fang Dongxun did not deny it.

“So, who is this person intentionally depressing it?”
