Capítulo 2104: Chapter 2104: Feeling a Bit Uneasy

“Come in!” As she saw Luo Ziling standing outside, she opened the door and glanced oddly at his chest a few times. Dong Xiaowan felt a bit shy but still graciously let Luo Ziling into the room, “If you keep standing outside, someone will definitely see you.”

Luo Ziling didn’t say anything and walked into the room.

The decoration style of Dong Xiaowan’s room was almost the same as the one Luo Liansheng was staying in, except it was missing a room.

Dong Xiaowan probably didn’t plan to stay here long-term because, aside from the original furnishings, there was only her bag inside.

Perhaps noticing Luo Ziling’s confusion, Dong Xiaowan explained, “Your grandfather came over today, and everyone had an important meeting. In the evening, we discussed matters at the laboratory construction site, so everyone stayed here. But later, most of the time, we’ll still sleep at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, as that’s our main venue. Luckily, getting here from there isn’t far, only a twenty-minute bike ride!”

“What did you want to talk to me about?” Luo Ziling asked Dong Xiaowan directly without sitting down.

“Want something to drink? I only have coffee and tea!” Dong Xiaowan wasn’t in a hurry to discuss matters.

“I won’t drink any, or else I won’t be able to sleep!”

“I don’t drink those two things at night either!” Dong Xiaowan laughed happily, “How about some milk tea?”

“I don’t want to drink anything, just tell me what you have to say!” Luo Ziling felt a bit impatient.

“Boring!” Dong Xiaowan pouted her pretty little mouth, but still sat down obediently, ready to talk with Luo Ziling about business.

“This is the work log for the past period. Take a look.” Dong Xiaowan picked up an iPad, opened a folder, and handed it to Luo Ziling, “All the work records are inside, along with the work summary I wrote. I think you need to check these out; otherwise, you won’t be able to grasp the progress.”

“I get a headache just looking at these electronic products, how about you just report to me verbally!” Luo Ziling didn’t want to look at the iPad.

Dong Xiaowan rolled her eyes, but didn’t go against Luo Ziling’s wishes, took back the iPad, and prepared to report verbally to him.

Dong Xiaowan did things quite earnestly; Luo Ziling could sense that from her report.

One could say, this girl was meticulous, recording everything in detail, categorizing and archiving diligently.

There was her own work summary after each day’s records.

The work summary was written quite well, much better than Luo Ziling expected.

After talking for over half an hour, Dong Xiaowan stopped and softly asked Luo Ziling, “What’s your evaluation after listening?”

“Not bad, much better than I expected, definitely a pleasant surprise!”

Luo Ziling’s evaluation instantly delighted Dong Xiaowan.

“Thank you for the compliment!” She looked very joyful.

“Keep up the good work!” Luo Ziling said, getting up to leave.

“No suggestions or requests?” Dong Xiaowan asked with a bit of frustration when she saw Luo Ziling was leaving.

Luo Ziling shook his head, “No requests for now, just continue as you see fit. I very much approve of everything you’ve done so far.”

“Alright!” Dong Xiaowan had no choice but to agree, but still unwilling, she asked again, “No instructions?”

“Instructions? Sure!” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Just do an even better job in the future, that’s the instruction.”

“That’s as good as saying nothing!” Dong Xiaowan grumbled in dissatisfaction.

But Luo Ziling ignored her and left on his own.

Dong Xiaowan was immediately quite disappointed. She hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to have no other thoughts about her, and it hit her quite hard.

Women, sometimes, are very strange.

If you covet them, if you have thoughts about them, or occasionally want to make a move, they’ll get angry and see you as a scoundrel. But if you don’t act like a rascal, showing the demeanor of a gentleman, they’ll start doubting their attractiveness, thinking they couldn’t tempt a man into mischief.

After leaving Dong Xiaowan’s room, Luo Ziling returned to Luo Liansheng’s temporary residence, washed up briefly, and went to bed. It was almost midnight.

Before sleeping, Luo Ziling habitually took out his phone.

WeChat had several unread messages, but Luo Ziling first browsed through his Moments.

There wasn’t anything particularly interesting in the Moments.

Neither Yang Qingyin nor Ouyang Feifei or anyone else had posted any new updates.

Checking the messages, there were two from Yang Qingyin, several from Luo Yuqing, and a few from his dorm mates.

Luo Ziling casually replied to his dorm mates, then opened Luo Yuqing’s messages first.

Luo Yuqing’s messages were quite simple, briefly talking about what happened after Luo Ziling left today.

“Anyway, you can make any decision.” Luo Ziling replied, and then added another one, “I’m staying at grandpa’s place on campus tonight. If I wake up early tomorrow, I’ll come to go for a run with you!”

“It’s a promise, no standing me up, or else you won’t hear the end of it!” Luo Yuqing added several haughty emojis at the end of the message.

“Definitely!”

Yang Qingyin had two messages, both pretty long, detailing today’s itinerary to Luo Ziling and asking if Yang Qingye had come looking for him.

“Qingye rushed to see me tonight, but it was nothing important!” Luo Ziling explained briefly what Yang Qingye wanted, then asked Yang Qingyin, “What do you think?”

Yang Qingyin quickly replied, “Let him do his thing. If he wants to try, there’s no issue. However, if he’s pursuing some celebrity, it’s surely just for fun. I’ll discuss it with him, can’t let him make mistakes.”

“Do as you see fit!”

Yang Qingyin sent another message, “Tomorrow we’re visiting the Yellow Crane Tower and Donghu, and we’ll also hike Mo Mountain. I’ll take some pictures and send them to you.”

“Great. But make sure they are beautifully taken and sent to me, otherwise it’s a bad review!”

This message from Luo Ziling earned him a rolling eyes emoji from Yang Qingyin.

Luo Ziling then asked, “Did your grandfather appear in the news today? I didn’t pay attention to the news today!”

“Of course, it’s the second piece of news! You can watch the midnight news soon, there should still be a report.”

“Alright, I’ll check it out in a bit!”

After chatting with Yang Qingyin, it was almost midnight, so the two said goodnight to each other.

After ending the chat, Luo Ziling turned on the TV in the room, switching to the news channel.

A few ads later, it was twelve o’clock.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, Yang Yuanshan’s inspection in the South was the first news broadcast, and it ran for quite a while, ending after five minutes.

Luo Ziling even caught a glimpse of Yang Qingyin on TV, though she mostly wore glasses and a hat, making it hard to see her real face.

Meanwhile, Yang Yuanshan faced the camera multiple times, speaking eloquently.

Without needing anyone else to analyze, just by watching this piece of news, Luo Ziling could summarize that Yang Yuanshan’s status had seemingly improved; otherwise, the news wouldn’t have aired this long.

He even rewatched the seven o’clock evening news program and confirmed that Yang Yuanshan’s news indeed ranked second and lasted over three minutes.

“It seems Old Sir Yang hasn’t lost his popularity due to illness; his influence might even be growing!”

Realizing this, Luo Ziling suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
