Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: I Understand

During the meal, Luo Yuqing promised Dai Shulan and Luo Ziling that she would make a decision on the matter as soon as possible.

As long as the company decides to adapt Dai Shulan’s work, she will quickly discuss collaboration terms with the website.

Once there’s some progress, she will talk to Dai Shulan again.

“When you get your manuscript fees, you must treat us to a big meal.” As they were ready to leave the cafeteria, Luo Yuqing, holding Dai Shulan’s arm, said with a smile, “You can’t just treat us to street food, it has to be a big feast.”

“Definitely, definitely,” Dai Shulan agreed readily, “If there’s time, I can take you out for fun over the weekend and have a big meal as well.”

“Are you free?” Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling.

“Not sure, let’s see when the time comes,” Luo Ziling replied with a wry smile, “There are quite a few things going on these days.”

“Her mom had a car accident, and yesterday she got into a fight and ended up in the police station,” Luo Yuqing explained the situation to Dai Shulan and then looked at Luo Ziling with a mocking expression, “No other student has as much going on as you. I’m considering whether to give you a bit of ideological education on behalf of the student council.”

“Alright, alright, don’t think just because you’re the student council president, you can put on airs in front of me,” Luo Ziling jokingly scolded, “Why don’t you educate those who are really falling behind? After all, I am the dean’s prized student.”

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Just as Luo Ziling mentioned Dean Wu Mingyun, Wu Mingyun’s call came through.

Seeing the caller ID was Wu Mingyun, Luo Ziling chuckled wryly and told the two women beside him, “I really jinxed it, just mentioned the dean, and he calls.”

Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, “There aren’t many students in all of Yan University who can get a personal call from the dean. Stop being so smug and just answer it.”

In the presence of Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan, Luo Ziling answered the call.

“Ziling, there’s something I want to discuss with you,” after exchanging greetings, Wu Mingyun got straight to the point, “These days we’re forming a traditional medicine delegation for external visits, targeting several East Asian countries. I recommended you to the top; your medical skills have impressed many people, and they’ve approved my recommendation. The exact departure date isn’t set yet, but you should start preparing. No problem, right?”

Luo Ziling had already heard about this from Ouyang Feifei a few days ago, so he wasn’t too surprised.

He had already decided to join the delegation to Korea, hoping to find another acupuncture bronze man, so when Wu Mingyun mentioned this, he agreed without much thought, “Sure, thanks for the recommendation, Dean Wu, I’ll definitely prepare well.”

“I knew you would agree,” Wu Mingyun laughed heartily, “Oh, one more thing I need to remind you of: Gu Jian’an and Gu Changwei, the grandfather and grandson, are also going with the delegation. I’ve heard you had some disputes. Well, I hope you all focus on the big picture and stay united before foreigners; don’t disgrace our Huaxia.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Luo Ziling agreed and voiced his view, “As long as they don’t target me, I surely won’t provoke them. I also hope they have a big-picture mentality and don’t bring personal grievances abroad.”

“I think Gu Jian’an should have that level of magnanimity.” Wu Mingyun didn’t say much more, smiled, said a few more words, told Luo Ziling to study hard and not skip classes too often, then hung up the call.

While Luo Ziling was on the phone, Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan stood nearby eavesdropping; they basically heard the conversation between Wu Mingyun and Luo Ziling. After Luo Ziling hung up, Luo Yuqing asked curiously, “Are you going abroad for a visit?”

“I should be going,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it, “I also want to search for a treasure in Korea.”

“What treasure?” Luo Yuqing was very curious.

“An acupuncture bronze man.” After saying this unfamiliar term, Luo Ziling quickly changed the subject, “By the way, the last time I competed in acupuncture skills with Gu Jian’an, I won a sports car from Gu Changwei. I don’t drive, and I remember your birthday is coming up, so I’ll give it to you then.”

Luo Yuqing was instantly surprised and incredulous, “No way, I know you have a sports car that you won, it’s even brand new, a nearly two-million-yuan Porsche sports car, and you’re giving it to me?”

“I didn’t spend a penny.”

“Then there’s no backing out!” Luo Yuqing giggled, hugged Luo Ziling’s arm, and said coquettishly, “Love you to death.”

Seeing this affectionate display between the siblings, Dai Shulan looked on with envy.

After leaving the cafeteria, Dai Shulan said her goodbyes and left.

Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling, “How are your mom and Wang Qing doing? Will there be any aftereffects?”

“My mom wasn’t seriously hurt to begin with, she’s basically fine now. As for Wang Qing, nothing serious either; with a few more days of medication, all the side effects will disappear.” Luo Ziling walked slowly along a small path in the school with Luo Yuqing, explaining as they went, “The main issue now is that these two incidents overlapped, making it difficult to investigate thoroughly. Maybe the two incidents are related after all. My mom has too few trustworthy and capable people around her.”

Luo Yuqing understood what Luo Ziling meant and sighed as well, “Unfortunately, I don’t have experience in this area, otherwise I could offer some help.”

“Once things settle down, why not stay by my mom’s side for a while,” Luo Ziling suddenly changed the topic, “I think spending some time working with her will lead to significant improvements in all aspects for you.”

Luo Yuqing was immediately delighted, “Is this your mom’s idea?”

“No, ” Luo Ziling shook his head, “it’s my idea. I haven’t discussed it with my mom yet, but I believe she’d agree. You don’t have to be with her every day, just join in some important occasions or meetings, like the time we attended a meeting with Ouyang Feifei and Shan Province officials.”

Luo Yuqing thought for a moment and lightly nodded, “As long as your mom agrees, I have no objections.”

“You’ll be handling student council affairs, managing the TV division of Lingyun Media, and shadowing my mom to learn. You’ll be plenty busy.”

“If it comes down to it, I’ll resign from the student council presidency.”

“Can you let it go?”

“Of course, the student council presidency is just a form of training. Serving in that position is a big bonus when job hunting later. But for me, I probably won’t need that, will I?”

“True, but if you can manage it all, you might as well continue.”

“Got it.”

After chatting for a while, they parted ways.

In the afternoon during classes, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Qingyin, saying she wanted to visit Ling Ruonan with him after class.

Coincidentally, Ling Ruonan sent Luo Ziling a message asking him to come over early after class because there was something to discuss.

Wuyue also sent a message, saying he had new information to share and wanted to meet with Luo Ziling in person.

Luo Ziling agreed with Yang Qingyin and planned to visit Ling Ruonan after class.
