Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652: The Two of Them Are Coming Over

The banquet hosted by the embassy couldn’t be very high-end, as frugality is now promoted, and the embassy’s budget is limited.

If it weren’t for the delegation’s excellent performance, making the Japanese uncomfortable, this banquet might not have happened.

Because the dishes were quite simple, many people were a bit dissatisfied with the food.

But the atmosphere was quite warm; the embassay staff, unless they were out on official business, all came to accompany them.

Before the banquet started, Luo Zhiwei gave a speech, praising the success achieved during this visit and the performance of some members, stating he would commend the delegation.

Luo Ziling also saw the person who had come to the airport to greet them that day; it was only at this point he knew that the person was an attaché. The attaché came over to toast Luo Ziling, expressed his admiration and congratulations, and hoped Luo Ziling would perform even better when visiting South Korea.

At the end of the banquet, Luo Zhiwei kept Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei behind, saying that he had some matters to discuss with them alone.

Hu Wenjun understood the implication and took the other delegation members back to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s transit to Seoul.

“Ambassador Luo, I wonder what other instructions you have for us?” Luo Ziling asked directly when they went to the reception room alongside Luo Zhiwei.

There was no one else in the reception room, and Luo Zhiwei was straightforward as well: “I want to know, when you were having afternoon tea at the Ishihara house today, did you discuss cooperation? I mean, cooperation based on this visit, such as medical technology exchanges and apprenticeships that involve benefits exchange. Because this is something our embassy needs to report, I want to understand clearly.”

After exchanging glances with Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling told Luo Zhiwei about some of the things he discussed with Ishihara Tarou and mentioned that they would go to the Ishihara house for lunch tomorrow.

After listening to what Luo Ziling said, Luo Zhiwei realized that things were not simple, so he pondered for a moment and then said, “I need to discuss this matter with your mother and decide how to report it later. There’s one thing I need to remind you: as a member of the delegation, everything you do on this visit is related to the country’s image.”

“Okay, I understand,” Luo Ziling smiled, “If there’s any other cooperation discussion, let’s wait for my mom to come and discuss it, I won’t participate.”

Luo Ziling’s considerate understanding put a smile on Luo Zhiwei’s face.

Luo Zhiwei didn’t remind Luo Ziling of anything else, instead started talking about other things.

It was after hearing some of Luo Zhiwei’s words that Luo Ziling found out about the relationship between his mother, Ling Ruonan, and Luo Zhiwei.

Hearing Luo Zhiwei say he had once been the secretary of Ling Mingrui, how could he not understand what kind of person Luo Zhiwei was?

After staying at the embassy for nearly an hour longer, Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei finally left.

Luo Zhiwei initially planned to have a driver take Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei back, but upon seeing that they had dedicated security personnel and vehicles, he abandoned the idea.

On the way back, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan.

“I knew you’d call,” Ling Ruonan chuckled as she answered, “I’ve already booked a flight to Tokyo early tomorrow morning; don’t come pick me up. I’ll first go to the embassy, and after talking with Luo Zhiwei, I’ll decide on the subsequent itinerary. I will probably stay two days in Tokyo, then return directly to Yanjing.”

After Ling Ruonan explained everything, Luo Ziling no longer felt discontent.

But he still complained, “Mom, I thought, as your son, I’m less close than outsiders; you’re coming to Tokyo yet didn’t tell me. I only found out because Luo Zhiwei mentioned it.”

“I know you discussed many cooperation matters with the Ishihara family today, and these matters are not appropriate for you to discuss now. It’s better for me to come, and with Ouyang Feifei, talk to them. Have you agreed to pass on acupuncture skills? Don’t rush to agree, take your time,” after saying these words, Ling Ruonan then asked Luo Ziling, “Is Ouyang Feifei with you?”

“Yes,” Luo Ziling said, handing the phone to Ouyang Feifei.

“Mrs. Ling,” Ouyang Feifei softly called after receiving the phone, then quietly listened to Ling Ruonan talk.

The call was quite long, and sitting at the side, Luo Ziling also heard most of it.

Ling Ruonan was inquiring about Ouyang Feifei’s discussions with the Ishihara family today, and Ouyang Feifei only briefly mentioned it, with most of the time being Ling Ruonan speaking. At the end, Ouyang Feifei gently said, “Mrs. Ling, let’s discuss the specifics more after you come to Tokyo.”

Originally, the two had agreed to discuss everything over a call tonight, but with Ling Ruonan coming over tomorrow, Ouyang Feifei felt it would be better to discuss things in person.

After returning to the hotel, Ouyang Feifei didn’t linger around Luo Ziling but went with Wang Qing to organize the notes from the meeting with Ishihara Wuji earlier that day.

Luo Ziling handed Ouyang Feifei the video he recorded for safekeeping and asked her how to arrange for lunch at the Ishihara house tomorrow.

“Your mom definitely won’t go with us; we should go over first to express our stance.” Ouyang Feifei explained her decision, “Tomorrow afternoon when you go to Seoul, I won’t be going with you. I’ll stay in Tokyo and meet your mom, then visit Ishihara Tarou.”

Luo Ziling didn’t oppose, nodding to indicate his understanding.

While talking with Ouyang Feifei, he received a video call from Luo Yuqing.

Luo Ziling then stepped out of Ouyang Feifei’s room to take the video call with Luo Yuqing.

“Tomorrow your mom and I are coming to Tokyo for fun,” Luo Yuqing giggled happily, “When I arrive in Tokyo, you accompany me to play.”

“No,” Luo Ziling declined outright, “I have to follow the group to Hanseong tomorrow afternoon.”

Luo Ziling still preferred to call the Korean capital Hanseong, as he liked the name of the city.

Hanseong, Han River, all indicated that it was once Han territory.

“No way?” Luo Yuqing was a bit surprised, “How can this be? We come to Tokyo, and you run off to Hanseong, are you trying to avoid us intentionally?”

“Who is this ‘we’?”

“Hehe, I’m bringing someone over.” Luo Yuqing said with a smug look.

“Who?”

“I’m not telling you yet!” Luo Yuqing said, then showed a resentful look, “Then can I ask you, can we go with you to Hanseong, to Seoul for fun?”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming?”

“Women are fickle, didn’t you know?”

“Alright! I’ll accompany you all for fun!”

After ending the call with Luo Yuqing, Luo Ziling sent a message to Yang Qingyin: “Little Yang, is it you who’s coming to Tokyo with Luo Yuqing?”

“Guess!” Yang Qingyin’s reply came back quickly.

“I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you.”

Yang Qingyin replied with, “I just won’t tell you, humph!”

“I already know the answer.”

From Yang Qingyin’s words, Luo Ziling figured that it must be her who was coming with Luo Yuqing.

It seemed that his good fortune with women was indeed not shallow, for during the visit to South Korea, he could have two more beauties accompany him.

This was sure to make many people envious and jealous.
