Chapter 1740: Chapter 1740: So Generous This Time

(Chapter 20 Update)

Worried that Luo Ziling would act “conservative” like he did with Ling Mingrui earlier, or make a youthful impulsive mistake, Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a meaningful look.

Luo Ziling understood the meaning in Ling Ruonan’s eyes and responded with a smile: “Great Grandfather, I have many plans now. After this incident, I found that I am more capable than most people, so I want to try everything.”

“You certainly have abilities, causing chaos in Yanjing, then going to Japan and South Korea, and made things messy in Tokyo and Hanseong,” Ling Jinhua said somewhat irritably, “It’s rare to find someone as capable as you.”

“I’ll take Great Grandfather’s words as a compliment to me,” Luo Ziling said joyfully, “It’s not often to receive praise like this from Great Grandfather.”

Ling Jinhua ignored Luo Ziling’s words, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly, waiting for Luo Ziling to continue.

Luo Ziling didn’t care about Ling Jinhua’s indifference, knowing that without a shake of the head, it meant approval, so he continued: “Actually, I still don’t know what I am suited for, so I want to try every opportunity. This time going abroad, I gained some fame, and using this fame to do things, should yield more rewards. If Great Grandfather gives me a chance, I will definitely cherish it.”

Having just received a promise from the old man Ling Mingrui, Luo Ziling naturally thought that Ling Jinhua was also preparing to agree to something or give him some reward, so he spoke up before Ling Jinhua did.

Luo Ziling’s shamelessness came as no surprise to Ling Jinhua.

After all, seeing the unique characteristics of Luo Ziling often, he didn’t take it seriously and asked directly: “What do you want me to give you?”

“Whatever Great Grandfather gives me, I will take.”

“What if I give you nothing?”

“Then I can only accept it,” Luo Ziling smiled, still showing no unusual expression.

“You and your mother can manage the Northern Group well then,” Ling Jinhua stopped beating around the bush and clearly stated his intention, “The Northern Group was built and expanded single-handedly by your mother, it bears her mark inside and out. I hope you both can make this large business group stronger and influential internationally.”

Ling Jinhua only gave them this, and Luo Ziling was very disappointed; he thought Ling Jinhua would give him a promise like Ling Mingrui did.

But Ling Ruonan was very surprised and delighted. She never dreamed Ling Jinhua would let go of the Northern Group, not letting the Ling Family intervene and handing it over to them. However, since this was something Ling Jinhua promised Luo Ziling, she couldn’t express anything before him, and could only signal him not to refuse.

Luo Ziling did not consider this a reward from Ling Jinhua to their mother and son.

He always believed that the Northern Group belonged to Ling Ruonan, and with her capability, no one could take it away. Therefore, giving them something that was originally theirs, as a reward, made him a bit unhappy, showing disappointment on his face.

So, he ignored Ling Ruonan’s signals and responded with a frown: “I thought Great Grandfather would promise me a bright future.”

“You have a big heart and appetite,” Ling Jinhua couldn’t help but scold, “Didn’t you see, your mother is ecstatic.”

Ling Ruonan was suddenly embarrassed; she hadn’t expected her grandfather to speak so bluntly, almost blushing.

“Great Grandfather, I honestly don’t think the Northern Group is that great. After investing in Lingyun Pharmaceutical with the secret formula, I found earning money was too easy. If I bring out all the secret formulas, in a few years, I can create wealth rivaling nations.” At this point, Luo Ziling boasted proudly, “If I further hype up the recent visit incident, letting everyone know that I’ve started mass production of life-extending medicines, the sales would increase explosively, and wealth would pour in. The pharmaceutical industry is most profitable, and maybe in a few years, the returns from investing in Lingyun Pharmaceutical could surpass the Northern Group’s benefits.”

“Didn’t expect you to have quite the business acumen,” Ling Jinhua wasn’t angry, his expression was more relaxed than before, “Are you telling me you plan to go into business?”

“I haven’t thought about it. These are just my hobbies. As for what I plan to do, I haven’t figured it out yet. I don’t know what I’m really suited for. But after this half year of honing, I find I’m better than many people, I can do things well regardless of what. So, I said earlier, I will cherish any opportunity Great Grandfather gives me. I think, with my intelligence, I will achieve great things no matter what.” Luo Ziling shamelessly said.

“Look at that, look at that,” Ling Jinhua pointed at Luo Ziling, speaking somewhat angrily to Ling Ruonan, “I have never seen a youngster brag like this in front of me, your son is the first.”

“Grandfather, Ziling likes to boast, don’t mind.” Ling Ruonan couldn’t bear to scold Luo Ziling at this moment, so she could only say this.

Ling Jinhua looked at Luo Ziling, then at Ling Ruonan, and finally laughed: “Rascally boy, not satisfied with the Northern Group, so tell me, what do you want? You performed well this time, not only will your grandfather reward you, but I also have a reward for you.”

Seeing Ling Jinhua let Luo Ziling set his own conditions, Ling Ruonan was even more surprised and signaled to Luo Ziling to seize the opportunity.

Luo Ziling answered without much thought: “Great Grandfather, then let my dad return to Yanjing, let him and my mom truly be husband and wife. Only in this way will I have an official status, otherwise, I’ll be illegitimate, lower than others. As for myself, I haven’t figured out what to do yet, so I don’t know what reward to ask from Great Grandfather. But I think, I will definitely do more things in the future that will surprise Great Grandfather, and when you reward me again, I’ll ask then. Is that okay?”

Ling Jinhua looked at Luo Ziling with a feigned angry expression: “Do you know the saying that greed knows no bounds?”

“The bolder one is, the greater the yield. I surely won’t let Great Grandfather down, I will definitely surprise you more,” Luo Ziling said, puffing up his chest, looking quite confident, “I will surely excel beyond anyone, only then will I be entitled to ask for rewards from Great Grandfather.”

Ling Jinhua stared at Luo Ziling for quite a while. When Luo Ziling began to feel uneasy and Ling Ruonan’s heart was filled with anxiety, he spoke: “Alright, I’ll satisfy your current request and fulfill the promise I just made. Do something earth-shattering in the future, come find me for a reward.”

“Thank you, Great Grandfather,” Luo Ziling said with great joy.

He couldn’t believe Ling Jinhua was so generous this time.
