Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Isn’t it Despicable?

After leaving that room, Luo Ziling went to Ling Ruonan’s office.

Ling Ruonan was busy with something, but when she saw Luo Ziling come in, she put down her work.

Ling Ruonan held Luo Ziling’s hand and sat down on the sofa, then asked softly, “It seems like they refused our goodwill, didn’t they?”

Luo Ziling nodded and said helplessly, “We were almost shown the door.”

“What about the gifts you brought?”

“They accepted them, but who knows—once I left, they might have just tossed them out like trash.”

“So, you said something that angered Yang Yuanshan,” Ling Ruonan nodded thoughtfully, then instructed Luo Ziling to explain everything about today’s meeting with Yang Yuanshan.

Luo Ziling recounted the events in full detail and finally complained to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, we walked out of the Yang Family Old House. Fortunately, no one saw us on the road, or it would’ve been really embarrassing.”

“Ask Qingyin later about how things turned out.”

Luo Ziling nodded again.

“I spoke with Ouyang Feifei earlier and decided to let Li Jing take charge of the specific affairs of Qingniao Media. I also discussed it with Fang Dongxun just now, and he has no objections,” Ling Ruonan said as she handed Luo Ziling a freshly printed document. “Here’s my suggested personnel appointments—see if they’re suitable!”

Luo Ziling took the document and opened it to read.

Ling Ruonan’s proposal was to appoint Li Jing as the new president of Qingniao Media, with Qingniao Media’s original president, Wang Kemeng, as vice president. A trusted associate of Ouyang Feifei named Li Ziqi would serve as the general manager in charge of daily operations, and Chu Ming would act as CFO and head of investment operations. Luo Yuqing would become deputy minister of the film and television department, while Qingniao Media’s former head of administration, Wang Shengle, would take the minister position. Other key figures from the old Qingniao Media were also assigned roles.

“There will need to be a handover of affairs with Qingniao Media, so some of the original team will have to stay to ensure things run smoothly. But the core matters must remain under our control,” Ling Ruonan explained her reasoning behind the arrangements and added, “The company name of Qingniao Media should also be changed in the future. Decide on a new name yourselves.”

“Mom, your decisions are always incredibly wise,” Luo Ziling finally felt better and jokingly handed the document back to Ling Ruonan. “But how could you forget about me? You didn’t assign me a position!”

“You want a role at Qingniao Media?” Ling Ruonan looked a bit surprised.

“Of course! If I work there, all those beautiful actresses will definitely try to butter me up. Just thinking about a group of beauties flocking around me makes me happy.”

“Stop fooling around,” Ling Ruonan glared at Luo Ziling angrily. “Don’t you think you have enough on your plate already? Let me tell you, I won’t allow you to get entangled with those messy women. And I absolutely don’t want to see some woman showing up one day pregnant with your child, asking for commitment and causing trouble for everyone.”

“Mom, I was just joking! Why are you so tense?” Luo Ziling quickly dropped his playful demeanor. “Honestly, I have no interest in that. I’ve been stuck in the Northwest for so many years and rarely got to explore the outside world. In the coming years, I want to enjoy life and my youth. How could I let these mundane matters drag me down?”

“Just remember what I said. Also, whether you end up choosing Yang Qingyin or Ouyang Feifei, you must keep in mind this one thing: marriage represents responsibility and commitment. If you choose one of them and enter the hall of marriage with her, then you must remain loyal and not hurt her feelings.”

Seeing Ling Ruonan speak so seriously, Luo Ziling felt a little awkward but eventually nodded.

Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more and called for Li Jing, who was working outside, to come in and informed her of the decision.

Li Jing had already heard from Ling Ruonan about this matter, so she wasn’t very surprised.

“Miss, I’ve been working on the handover over the past few days. By the Lantern Festival, I should be able to wrap up everything. I’ve already started paying attention to the situation over there. Tonight, I plan to have dinner with Wang Kemeng to hear more about the situation and discuss the next steps,” Li Jing said earnestly as she stood in front of Ling Ruonan. “I think the people least willing to see Qingniao Media fall are the original team. Since we’re helping, they’ll surely cooperate wholeheartedly. Please rest assured, Miss and Young Master, I’ll handle everything properly and not let you down.”

“I have faith in your abilities!”

Hearing this comment, Li Jing was visibly moved. “Thank you, Miss, for giving me the opportunity to take on such a responsibility.”

“I wouldn’t let you handle such responsibilities if I didn’t believe in your abilities,” Ling Ruonan said seriously before pointing at Luo Ziling. “This is Ziling’s business; his career is just getting started, so there must be no missteps. Although we’re providing support, those who originally wanted to take down Qingniao Media won’t just sit idly by. Be cautious in all matters; if necessary, you can ask Fang Dongxun to step in. He shouldn’t refuse.”

“Understood, Miss!”

Ling Ruonan didn’t add anything further and let Li Jing leave to continue her work.

As Luo Ziling was about to take his leave, the secretary outside came in to report that Ouyang Feifei had come for a visit.

“Let her in,” Ling Ruonan said with a smile, turning to Luo Ziling. “She probably has something important to discuss with us. Why don’t you wait a bit longer?”

Luo Ziling had no choice but to sit back down.

Before long, Ouyang Feifei, dressed very formally, walked into Ling Ruonan’s office.

Ouyang Feifei entered and glanced at Luo Ziling once before looking away, greeting Ling Ruonan instead.

“Oh, President Ouyang, didn’t sleep well last night, did you? Those dark circles are so obvious,” Luo Ziling teased her mischievously when he noticed her lack of enthusiasm towards him. “Didn’t get a good rest last night? Ah, must be because spring is here!”

Seeing Luo Ziling dare to flirt with her in front of Ling Ruonan, Ouyang Feifei instantly blushed, glaring at him angrily with an expression as if she wanted to devour him.

Luo Ziling didn’t seem bothered, grinning as he stood near Ling Ruonan’s desk, watching Ouyang Feifei with amusement.

“Ling’er, stop joking around,” Ling Ruonan scolded him lightly, worried he might say something inappropriate. “Feifei is here to discuss serious matters with us. Don’t make trouble.”

“Alright, I’ll sit here quietly and listen to you two strong women discuss business,” Luo Ziling replied, pretending to concede as he walked to the side and sat down.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, Ouyang Feifei immediately turned to Ling Ruonan and complained in front of him, “Mrs. Ling, he promised to come keep me company last night, but in the end, he stood me up! Isn’t that infuriating?”
