Chapter 1863: Chapter 1863: Are You Trying to Work Us to Death?

Seeing Luo Ziling look a bit upset, Ling Haining couldn’t help feeling pleased. But when he saw Luo Ziling staring at him coldly, Ling Haining got startled and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look at Luo Ziling.

“After Haining returns, he’ll work at the Xuanwu District Tax Bureau as a deputy section chief. In the future, if you need anything done, just instruct him directly. This is the wish of your Great Grandfather and Grandpa,” Ling Ruonan said, ignoring Ling Haining’s smug expression, looking calmly at Luo Ziling. “Your Grandpa thinks that they should follow you and learn well, and change their flamboyant ways. Don’t let down the trust placed upon you by Great Grandfather and Grandpa!”

“Mom, I’ve got it. I certainly won’t fail their trust!” Luo Ziling said with a half-smile, half-not expression, looking at Ling Haining.

This look made Ling Haining involuntarily shiver.

After a while, Ling Haijun and Ling Haihang, Ling Haiyang, the three brothers, also arrived.

Seeing Luo Ziling, Ling Haijun appeared like a mouse spotting a cat, not daring to make eye contact.

Ling Haihang and Ling Haiyang didn’t fear Luo Ziling. They looked at him with defiant eyes.

However, they dared not show any disrespect towards their aunt, Ling Ruonan, and approached respectfully to greet her.

“Mom, your office seems to need cleaning. Since they are here, let them help out,” Luo Ziling said playfully, winking at Ling Ruonan, then instructed Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, and the others, “I’ve been ordered by Great Grandfather and Grandpa to train you. The first step of this training starts today. As the saying goes, ‘When heaven imposes a great responsibility on a person, it will first temper their will and strengthen their bones and muscles.’ Muscles and bones need exercise to grow strong, so today we’ll start by cleaning to begin your muscle-strengthening regimen. There’s one hour until my mom finishes work, use this time to clean up the place.”

Saying this, Luo Ziling suggested to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, let’s go to the balcony and have tea, chat for a bit, while they clean up here.”

Ling Ruonan thought about it, and finally complied with Luo Ziling’s suggestion: “Alright, it’s a good time for cleanliness anyway.”

Ling Ruonan ordered Wuyue to come in and direct the four Ling Family offspring to clean the CEO’s office.

Wuyue was momentarily stunned by Ling Ruonan’s order but had no doubts, and promptly conveyed the instructions.

Ling Ruonan invited Luo Ziling to the office terrace to drink tea and talk.

Adjacent to Ling Ruonan’s office, there was roughly a twenty-square-meter terrace, planted with some flowers and plants, with a table for tea. However, Ling Ruonan seldom sat there on normal days; she primarily handled matters in her office.

Once finished with the tasks, she would leave the office and hardly had leisure time.

Today, for the little spectacle among the Ling Family descendants, she unusually set aside her work to accompany Luo Ziling for tea.

Today wasn’t actually a workday, but as Ling Ruonan had to leave suddenly for Yuezhou, a lot of matters were left unattended, so she came by to handle them.

There weren’t many employees at work today, and there were few people in the CEO office.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling ordered them to clean, making the four Ling Family offspring, who had always lived lavishly, dumbfounded.

Their anger welled up within.

But with Luo Ziling holding the “imperial sword” entrusted by Ling Mingrui to command them, they dared not resist.

Primarily, Ling Haining and Ling Haijun did not dare to resist. They experienced Luo Ziling’s methods and knew they had to obey him for the time being, otherwise, things would get troublesome.

Therefore, though they were very discontented, they ultimately begrudgingly conformed to Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan’s instructions and went to clean under Wuyue’s arrangement.

Ling Haiyang and Ling Haihang, although reluctant, seeing Ling Haining and Ling Haijun not daring to resist, eventually also unwillingly conformed to Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan’s orders and started cleaning.

“Aren’t you afraid they’ll act out again after humiliating them like this?” Watching four members of the Ling Family cleaning unwillingly, Ling Ruonan hesitantly asked Luo Ziling, “If they complain, Grandpa might also reprimand you.”

“For such a minor thing, they surely won’t complain,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “In a couple of days, I’ll bring them to Northern Pharmaceuticals to train with others. During the weekend, make them train for two days with those eight people. That’s where they’ll really suffer.”

“You better be careful not to anger Grandpa and Great Grandfather.”

“Mom, I know what I’m doing!” Luo Ziling smiled, signaling Ling Ruonan not to worry, “I’m going to transform them properly and see what they become.”

“How did you treat them in Hangzhou?” Ling Ruonan softly asked Luo Ziling, “Did you use force on them?”

“No force was used, just some medical methods to force them to confess their issues,” Luo Ziling said mysteriously, “However, they probably will never forget the unpleasant sensation they felt at the time.”

Ling Ruonan looked at Luo Ziling speechlessly.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind and laughed, “So, now and in the future, no matter how I treat them, they’ll endure. They know I will certainly trouble them, so don’t worry about such things.”

“Alright then, as long as you know what you’re doing!” Ling Ruonan said no more.

Soon after, Ling Ruonan asked about Luo Ziling’s help in checking Yang Yuanshan and Yang Qingye today. Luo Ziling did not conceal anything and related the treatment process to Ling Ruonan, also sharing most of what he said in front of Yang Yuanshan.

“Sometimes you really act impulsively,” Ling Ruonan sighed, “However, Old Sir Yang hasn’t blamed you, nor angry, indicating he’s prepared to make another concession. He now believes only you two can cure his illness, hence chooses to tolerate. He’ll likely have a long talk with Yang Yunlin warning him. In the future, Yang Yunlin probably won’t purposely target you, try to avoid dealing with him, don’t meet, I believe he might change his attitude.”

“Got it,” Luo Ziling nodded, accepting Ling Ruonan’s advice.

Approximately an hour later, the four finally finished cleaning.

Usually rarely doing menial work, they were already sweaty, clothes and hair disheveled.

Luo Ziling inspected the cleanliness and deemed it basically satisfactory, asking them to strive for better performance in the future.

Luo Ziling also instructed them that next weekend, all four must obey his orders and participate in a group activity with others, unable to return home. Hearing this, the four Ling Family descendants were dumbstruck.

Ling Haihang couldn’t hold back and erupted on the spot: “Luo Ziling, you’ve gone too far, do you want to play us to death?”
