CapĂtulo 2111: Chapter 2111: Ambition
Luo Ziling guessed that after he left, Ling Ruonan would definitely have something to say to Luo Xusheng, and they might even have a dispute.
But he also knew that the only person who could change Luo Xushengâs mind was Ling Ruonan.
Luo Ziling was indeed going to find Luo Liansheng, not only to ask about Huang Chenâs motherâs situation and whether he could return home during the summer vacation, but also to find out what they had done today.
Luo Ziling felt a bit embarrassed for holding the title of lab director while others did the actual work, with even his grandfather helping to run errands.
When Luo Ziling arrived at the school, Luo Liansheng was having tea with several old men.
Luo Ziling, who originally thought they were still busy, was surprised to see a group of old men chatting away when he knocked on Luo Lianshengâs door, leaving him dumbfounded for a while.
âYo, Old Luo, your grandson is here,â Dong Qiqing said with a cheerful smile to Luo Liansheng. âIs he here to supervise you or to visit you?â
âDonât act like children; you are all my disciples, and if you call me grandfather, then you should call me Grandmaster!â Luo Ziling retorted, a bit annoyed, and then sat down beside Luo Liansheng.
Luo Zilingâs words made a few old men somewhat embarrassed, while Luo Liansheng laughed out loud. âWho told you to bet on such matters?â
The other four old men continued to feel awkward.
âForget it, Iâll go look around outside and come back to talk with grandpa later.â Luo Ziling noticed the discomfort of the other old men and decided to leave.
âCome back later then!â Luo Liansheng didnât try to keep him.
Luo Ziling left and knocked on Dong Xiaowanâs door.
Dong Xiaowan, who was doing laundry in her room, was pleasantly surprised to see Luo Ziling knocking.
Luo Ziling gave direct instructions: âGather everyone, and Iâll teach acupuncture for a while. Iâll go first, and you can come to the Northern Pharmaceuticals building later!â
Dong Xiaowan agreed.
As Luo Ziling left, he called Ling Haijun, saying he was heading to the Northern Pharmaceuticals building and asked Ling Haijun to gather the others. Ling Haijun naturally agreed, saying he was already in the Northern Pharmaceuticals building and was planning to report to Luo Ziling in the coming days.
When Luo Ziling arrived at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, Ling Haijun was already standing at the entrance to greet him.
Wuyue, who drove Luo Ziling over, got out of the car and went upstairs with Luo Ziling, accompanied by Ling Haijun. She knew Dong Xiaowan would come, and she remembered scaring Dong Xiaowan half to death the last time she pulled out her gun, so today she intended to stay by Dong Xiaowanâs side.
Wuyue accompanied him upstairs, but Luo Ziling wasnât surprised.
Ling Haijun was very cautious with Luo Ziling, knowing that his fatherâs promotion was greatly related to Luo Ziling.
Plus, following Luo Ziling improved his status within the Ling Family, leading him to admire Luo Ziling greatly.
The previous awkward incidents between him and Luo Ziling no longer mattered to him.
Of course, he also hoped Luo Ziling wouldnât mind those things, forgetting them entirely would be best.
Although Luo Ziling didnât like the shameless Ling Haijun, he needed someone like him, so his attitude towards Ling Haijun changed.
Once upstairs, after sitting in the reception room, Luo Ziling listened to Ling Haijun report on the recent events at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building.
The renovation was progressing smoothly, with Ling Haijun personally overseeing all the work.
After listening to Ling Haijunâs report, Luo Ziling sincerely expressed his appreciation.
Ling Haijun immediately stated he would do everything even better and never disappoint Luo Ziling.
At the end, he carefully made a request.
âCousin, my dad wanted me to ask if we could invest in Northern Pharmaceuticals?â Ling Haijun asked this cautiously, fearing Luo Ziling might get angry: âMy dad once asked your mom, but she said itâs up to you, Cousin. Let our family join in, and in the future, I can help you manage Northern Pharmaceuticals. I promise to listen to you and work hard to do well!â
âIt can be considered, but the final decision must be discussed with the board of directors.â Luo Ziling said with a smile: âIâve already suggested to my mom to increase Northern Pharmaceuticalsâ registered capital and expand the share capital. If everyone agrees, it would be a good thing for you to join.â
Though Luo Zilingâs reply was somewhat ambiguous, he didnât reject it outright, which greatly delighted Ling Haijun.
âThen Iâll mention this to my parents when I get back,â Ling Haijun said, looking overjoyed: âI hope everyone can agree to our joining.â
Luo Ziling just smiled and didnât comment further.
Wuyue, standing to the side, felt nothing but disdain for Ling Haijun.
She thought Ling Haijun was utterly lacking in integrity, willing to be Luo Zilingâs lapdog.
Indeed, to her, Ling Haijun was pretty much Luo Zilingâs lapdog.
But she didnât voice this feeling; for people not beneficial to Luo Ziling, she would intervene, even to the point of humanitarian destruction.
For those good to Luo Ziling, she wouldnât behave maliciously, unless it was a woman wanting to be Luo Zilingâs woman.
Just as Ling Haijun hadnât finished speaking, Dong Xiaowan arrived with the others.
Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan also came along.
âLet me teach you some acupuncture; itâs been quite a while since the last session.â Luo Ziling signaled Dong Xiaowan to arrange the venue as he prepared to teach.
Those eager to learn the Taiyi Divine Needle immediately took their places, took out their notes, and opened their phone recording functions to record Luo Zilingâs teaching and key points.
Their attitude towards learning greatly satisfied Luo Ziling.
That evening, he taught quite thoroughly and performed many demonstrations.
This delighted his students immensely.
After the lesson, Luo Ziling formally announced they would go together to gather medicinal herbs in the Northwest this summer vacation.
Upon hearing about a trip to collect herbs in Tianshan, many people were instantly excited.
Only Ishihara Naka didnât intend to go, but seeing everyoneâs enthusiasm, he couldnât bring any objections.
Luo Ziling warned everyone to prepare for the trip to the Northwest, mentioning that current responsibilities should not be neglected and must be performed well.
Next semester, many might get involved in teaching.
Regarding teaching, Luo Ziling didnât go into detail, simply advising everyone to utilize their ultimate skills.
âI hope all of you excel,â Luo Ziling said candidly, âIf the students we teach become excellent traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and their skills gain recognition, then we succeed. Once the lab functions and produces results recognized by the nation, thatâs another aspect of success.â Luo Ziling didnât hide his ambition. âLeading a national-level lab construction, I must perform well and exchange achievements for success.â
He paused and solemnly announced, âI hope someday, due to our research success, I can step onto the Nobel Prize podium in Medicine. Perhaps, even have a prestigious award named after us.â
Luo Zilingâs bold words left everyone stunned.
