Chapter 2170: Chapter 2170: Asking for Your Help

After using acupuncture to treat Ouyang Feifei, then massaging her for a while to help her sleep, Luo Ziling left the hotel.

While Luo Ziling was on the phone, Ouyang Feifei had already changed into her pajamas.

Though she wasn’t wearing any underwear beneath, the direct allure was gone.

With Luo Ziling having no distracting thoughts, nothing indescribable happened during the massage and treatment for Ouyang Feifei.

As he walked out of the hotel, Luo Ziling noticed his clothes were soaked through.

Standing at the hotel entrance, watching the bustling traffic, he shook his clothes and gave a bitter smile.

In the end, he decided not to think about tonight’s events and went straight back to school to sleep.

This afternoon, Ling Ruonan sent Luo Ziling a message saying she’s going on a business trip today and would probably return by tomorrow night.

Therefore, Luo Ziling agreed to treat his classmates to some fun outside.

If Ling Ruonan were home, he planned to go back home.

With Ling Ruonan not at home, he wasn’t interested in sleeping at the villa either.

Seeing Luo Ziling actually return to the dormitory to sleep, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, who were playing cards, were immediately thrilled.

Cao Jianhui slammed his cards onto the table and excitedly rushed over to hug Luo Ziling.

“Boss, you know, you haven’t come back to sleep for several months; we were even thinking of dismantling your bed as a memento. Hey, you’ve been out on a date again, smelling all of a woman’s fragrance—it’s particularly pleasant. Hold on, let me discern what scent this is exactly. It seems like it’s all a woman’s natural scent. Boss, did you just roll in bed with someone? I’m guessing she’s pretty, at least scoring 9.5 out of 10!”

“Screw you!” Luo Ziling kicked Cao Jianhui and said grumpily, “You can’t spit ivory out of a dog’s mouth. If you keep talking rubbish, I swear I’ll kick you off!”

Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang, who were initially ready to tease him, instantly got frightened into silence.

They grinned as they watched Cao Jianhui get kicked by Luo Ziling, looking all schadenfreude.

“Boss, why did you come back to sleep today?” Cao Jianhui was unfazed and again put his arm around Luo Ziling’s shoulder, “Feels like the sun’s rising from the west. Are you back to shower some favor on one of us?”

“I just wanted to come back to sleep, that simple, nothing to favor, and I’m not interested in your rear ends.” Luo Ziling freed himself from Cao Jianhui’s embrace, flopped onto his bed, and then asked Cao Jianhui: “By the way, who’s winning that card game you were playing?”

“I won!” Wu Longjiang immediately shouted, “Cao Jianhui lost the most, so he has to treat us to a late-night snack.”

“Alright then, let’s go have a midnight snack!” Cao Jianhui didn’t mind treating people; he wasn’t short of money. He generously patted his chest and said, “Just say whatever you want to eat. Today the Boss is back, we had dinner together, but still we need a proper celebration.”

“That guy, after dinner, kept complaining that he didn’t drink enough; Boss, you’re too unfair, ditching us before finishing.” Wu Longjiang revealed Cao Jianhui’s dirty secrets.

“Fine, I’ll treat you to a midnight snack then, so you don’t hold a grudge.” Luo Ziling got up from his bed, took out his glasses, found a hat to put on, and said, “Let’s go, just don’t cause a big scene!”

“Let’s go, let’s go!” Cao Jianhui waved his big hand, “Hurry for the midnight snack, no yelling, or else we’ll get surrounded.”

The group managed not to disturb people in the adjacent dormitory and quickly left the apartment building.

After getting downstairs, Cao Jianhui asked Luo Ziling about their consideration of changing majors.

Luo Ziling slapped his forehead in embarrassment and said, “I actually forgot to ask the dean about this. Later, I’ll send him a message; if there’s hope, I’ll personally talk to him someday. As long as you’re interested in studying traditional medicine, I can definitely help you get the chance to change majors.”

“Alright, then our futures and destinies are all in your hands!” Cao Jianhui once again put his arm around Luo Ziling’s shoulder. After walking a short distance, feeling that Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming were a bit further away, he leaned close to Luo Ziling’s ear and whispered, “Boss, there’s a very important matter I want to ask you!”

“What is it?”

“We’ll talk privately later, more significant than my major switch!”

“Alright!”

Once out of the school gates, the four found a barbecue restaurant to eat.

To accommodate Luo Ziling, they didn’t pick the more comfortable open-air seating but instead opted for a small private room.

Inside the private room, Cao Jianhui sent Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang to order food, telling them to order whatever they wanted, and to choose the expensive options.

Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang naturally were thrilled to go.

When Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming left the room, Cao Jianhui took the opportunity to bring up the topic.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed my family’s situation.” Cao Jianhui said, somewhat embarrassed, “My dad is currently an official in Ji Province, with a position equivalent to a director. People like him definitely want to move up, but as you know, without someone to help, moving further up is as hard as climbing to heaven.”

From what Luo Ziling grasped from these words, he immediately understood his meaning but didn’t respond, waiting for Cao Jianhui to say more.

Seeing no peculiar reaction from Luo Ziling, Cao Jianhui bravely continued, “I assume you’ve guessed it; I want to ask for your help with my dad. Of course, if it’s too difficult, forget it. But if you have the chance to mention it to your mom, there might be a breakthrough.”

Cao Jianhui fully understood Luo Ziling’s identity.

During Luo Ziling’s trip with Ling Jinhua to the South, he cleared up the relationship between Luo Ziling, Ling Jinhua, and the entire Ling Family.

After fully understanding the matter, he was utterly shocked.

To think that the guy staying in the same dorm was of such an impressive status.

He also knew that if the Ling Family were willing to help them, it would likely be easy for his father to climb higher. His parents were aware of Luo Ziling’s connection with the Ling Family; hence, they called him several times and even summoned Cao Jianhui home to discuss it.

Initially, Cao Jianhui didn’t want such mundane matters to affect his friendship with Luo Ziling, but eventually, he agreed to his parents’ request.

After stating his request, he said nothing further, waiting for Luo Ziling’s response.

“Since you asked sincerely, respecting our dormmate friendship, I’ll have to lend a hand.” Luo Ziling, after seriously considering, agreed.

Given that he’d help officials like Ding Zhongming and Wu Jianjun, he should help one of the same rank as Cao’s father as well.

Who knows, it might add another ally.
