Chapter 2156: Chapter 2156: Trust Those You Employ, Do Not Employ Those You Distrust

After saying these things, Luo Ziling didn’t say anything more on the matter.

He also didn’t remind Wuyue, Yang Xiaodong, and Wang Zhenjun to strictly maintain confidentiality and not disclose any information to unrelated people.

It would be an unnecessary move.

If they want to disclose it, a warning won’t be of any use; if they intend to keep it confidential, there’s no need to remind them as they would do it anyway.

Whether it’s Wuyue, Yang Xiaodong, or Wang Zhenjun, they are all people who have faced life and death multiple times; they understand the consequences of breaching confidentiality.

Therefore, Luo Ziling demonstrated his trust in them in this manner, without any warnings or reminders.

He started talking about other matters, instructing Wuyue to quickly recruit personnel and expand his team.

A capable man needs three helpers; without more assistants, it’s not easy to accomplish things. With fewer people around to command, things are bound to be stretched thin.

Wuyue reported these matters to Luo Ziling in front of Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.

Two retired members of Dragon Rise, along with a few other retired special forces soldiers, have already been recruited by Wuyue and are undergoing assessments in loyalty, willpower, and combat capabilities.

“You will be responsible for these matters going forward,” Luo Ziling nodded at Wuyue, then said to Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, “If you have people you approve of, you can also recruit them, but make sure to maintain high standards. Wuyue will be in charge of the final selection.”

“Understood!” the three replied in unison.

Luo Ziling’s unique trust filled Wuyue with a sense of pride.

Yet, she still maintained a stern expression, with no emotional fluctuations on her face.

After discussing a few other matters, Luo Ziling dismissed them.

Before Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun prepared to leave, Luo Ziling patted each of them on the shoulder and joked, “Try to settle your marriage matters quickly. You should hurry, don’t let the cooked duck fly away. From what I’ve gathered, those two women seem to have some interest in you guys. You guys might really get the beauty!”

“Thank you, Young Master!” Yang Xiaodong replied with a grin, “If things work out, we’ll definitely consider you our matchmaker.”

Wang Zhenjun also said with a wily expression, “If we marry them, we’ll definitely ask you to be our witness at the wedding!”

“I just hope you never get married and save me the expense,” Luo Ziling laughed and cursed, “You guys have no idea how expensive it is to buy a house in Yanjing! If you get married, I’ll have to prepare a new house for you. Although Ouyang Feifei and Qingyin might help out a bit, the major cost will fall on me. If you don’t get married, I’ll save some money. You need to understand, I’m just a poor student.”

“Come on, you’re poor?” Yang Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said, “If you’re poor, are there any rich people left in the world? You have no idea; our motto is to rob the rich and aid the poor. We should give a good go at this tycoon and raise our average income and living space.”

After a few jokes, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun went out first as they had to arrange some matters.

Since they were to be completely at Luo Ziling’s command, certain matters needed to be handed over.

After the two left, Wuyue came closer to Luo Ziling and said with a bit of concern, “Young Master, aren’t you worried about the remote possibility of revealing such confidential matters to them?”

“When using people, don’t suspect them; when suspecting people, don’t use them,” Luo Ziling replied, laughing and shaking his head, “Actually, I don’t plan to immediately scheme against Chen Ruchang; I just want to use such matters to gain their wholehearted commitment. This is a very significant issue, even slightly rebellious. Being willing to share such matters with them shows great trust. If they don’t betray my trust, then they are people who can be entrusted with all matters. Since my father trusts them so much, they are equally worthy of my trust. Although I’m betting, the chance of losing is quite low.”

Wuyue remained silent; she didn’t know how to respond to Luo Ziling’s words.

Luo Ziling understood that saying such things in Wuyue’s presence undoubtedly made her feel complicated, so he patted her on the shoulder again and smiled, “Wuyue, don’t worry, nothing will happen. No matter what, you are the person my mom and I trust the most. Whatever happens, it will be your responsibility. Think about it; I’ve entrusted my life to your management. What do you have to worry about?”

These words immediately made Wuyue breathe a sigh of relief. She smiled at Luo Ziling and nodded gently, “Thank you, Young Master, for trusting me. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations.”

After a pause, she said again, “I’ll certainly find a way to approach Chen Ruchang. Regardless of whether the Young Master wants to execute this plan in the future, we must prepare in advance. We have to be ready for unforeseen incidents.”

“You should all prepare together; the matter will certainly be handed over to you,” Luo Ziling patted Wuyue on the shoulder again and instructed, “Once you have more people under you, establish detailed assignments, allowing everyone to fulfill their own roles to avoid issues. Keep the level of confidentiality distinct, and try not to cross over. Also, make sure to recruit many people; fewer than a hundred won’t be enough. You currently have too few people; you need to recruit more!”

Wuyue felt quite surprised, but ultimately, she just nodded, “Young Master, I understand!”

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, when he and Wuyue finished discussing matters and returned to the living room, he found Luo Yuqing was there too.

“Why are you here?” Luo Ziling seemed very surprised.

“Why can’t I come?” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling a bit angrily, “It’s my dad’s birthday; of course, I have to come to accompany him.”

“Then why didn’t you come for dinner?” During dinner, Luo Ziling thought about Luo Yuqing, but he wisely didn’t ask.

He thought it was Ling Ruonan who didn’t want Luo Yuqing to come over.

If he asked about this, it would make both Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan uncomfortable.

He also didn’t send a message to Luo Yuqing because if Ling Ruonan didn’t want to invite Luo Yuqing over on such a day, sending a message to Luo Yuqing would simply be annoying. Unexpectedly, just after discussing a few matters with Wuyue, Yang Xiaodong, and Wang Zhenjun, Luo Yuqing showed up.

“I had something to do today, and the road was blocked, so I couldn’t get back in time for dinner.” Luo Yuqing was clearly somewhat upset, “Yet I didn’t know today was Dad’s birthday. Otherwise, I would have arranged it early. Hmph, nobody told me beforehand; you came back eagerly, but you didn’t care about me!”

“I only found out it was Dad’s birthday when I was having dinner at home.” Luo Ziling said with an innocent look, “If I had known beforehand, I would have definitely asked you.”

Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling for a moment and eventually believed what he said and didn’t blame him anymore.

Seeing Luo Yuqing’s expression was different from usual, Luo Ziling felt something was strange.

He wondered if Luo Yuqing might have encountered something today.

“What happened today?” Luo Ziling asked curiously.
