Capítulo 2232: Chapter 2232: This Is Unusual

Amid Cao Jianhui’s stunned expression, Luo Ziling was pulled away by Wang Feiyang.

“Why is your dad suddenly looking for me?” Luo Ziling asked Wang Feiyang with a confused look, trying to shake off her hand.

“How would I know?” Wang Feiyang rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, no longer attempting to hold his hand.

The school was bustling with people coming and going, and both Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang stood out, attracting many gazes.

Of course, Luo Ziling didn’t want Wang Feiyang clinging to his arm, so he pulled away unceremoniously.

Wang Feiyang also considered this, so she didn’t persist.

A Toyota van was parked in the school parking lot, and Wang Feiyang motioned for Luo Ziling to get in.

Luo Ziling didn’t hesitate, opened the rear door, and got in.

Wang Feiyang also sat in the back.

After they got in, Wang Feiyang instructed the driver waiting in the car to leave immediately.

The driver was a young man with a crew cut, who said nothing after they got in.

After hearing Wang Feiyang’s instructions, he just nodded and started the car, leaving the school.

On the way, Luo Ziling didn’t ask Wang Feiyang anything, and despite her attempts to start a conversation, she received no response from Luo Ziling.

Eventually, Wang Feiyang could only stop talking, her eyes drifting to the scenery outside.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at a complex that Luo Ziling had never been to.

This was a newly built architectural complex composed of low-rise buildings, the highest being only five stories.

The decorations leaned towards a traditional Chinese style, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

“What is this place?” Luo Ziling asked Wang Feiyang.

“It’s my dad’s temporary office,” Wang Feiyang smiled, “Your mom should know this place; it may become the future administrative sub-center.”

“Alright, I’m uninformed!” Luo Ziling didn’t ask further.

After following another staff member through the door and undergoing strict security checks, they were led into a three-story building. Another staff member came to greet them.

After walking two rounds, the two followed the staff member up to the second floor.

After walking down a corridor, the staff stopped and gestured for Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang to enter on their own.

After thanking the staff, Wang Feiyang and Luo Ziling walked inside together.

Someone came out to greet them; it turned out to be Wang Zhengqiang’s secretary.

Wang Feiyang sweetly called out “Mr. Li” before inviting Luo Ziling to follow the secretary into the office.

Upon entering the office, Luo Ziling saw Wang Zhengqiang sitting on the sofa, surrounded by several people in military uniforms.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Seeing Wang Zhengqiang smile at her, Wang Feiyang stepped forward, frowning slightly as she asked, “Or… are you not feeling well?”

“Come, sit down and we’ll talk! How could I be unwell?” Wang Zhengqiang gestured for Wang Feiyang and Luo Ziling to sit down, then pointed at Luo Ziling and said to the others, “This is the rising star in the traditional medicine field, Luo Ziling. His achievements have been reported by the media several times.”

Luo Ziling looked at Wang Zhengqiang in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

He didn’t ask further and sat on the sofa with Wang Feiyang.

“They heard you developed some life-extending medicines that some units have already purchased and found effective,” Wang Zhengqiang explained directly, pointing to the people in military uniforms with stars on their shoulders, “These are from the Military Logistics Health Department, and they’re interested in your medicine.”

So that’s what it was about, Luo Ziling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

An officer with two golden stars on his shoulders stood up and extended his hand to Luo Ziling: “Mr. Luo, I’m Yan Shiliang, responsible for military supply management. Nice to meet you. We know your medicine is patented, so we want to discuss a patent transfer with you.”

“To have top-ranking officials involved in this, isn’t this a bit much?” Luo Ziling smiled wryly after shaking hands with Yan Shiliang: “Seeing so many stars here scared me a bit.”

Not picking up on his words, Yan Shiliang was slightly taken aback.

After letting go of Luo Ziling’s hand, he smiled: “Today, the top-ranking officials gathered us to discuss logistics supply. We mentioned the pharmaceutical supply issue, and reported Dragon Rise acquiring the medicine from you. The top-ranking officials were interested.”

Luo Ziling glanced at Wang Zhengqiang sitting to the side, then at Yan Shiliang and said helplessly: “With such a grand setting, I feel like if I disagree, you’d shoot me dead!”

Seeing Luo Ziling’s feigning a pitiful appearance, Wang Zhengqiang couldn’t help but laugh.

The other generals also laughed.

“I heard Dragon Rise’s new chief is Mr. Luo’s father?” a middle-aged officer with glasses and a single golden star on his shoulder said slowly, pushing up his glasses: “Dragon Rise obtaining this medicine alone, does it have anything to do with that?”

The major general’s words made Luo Ziling’s face change.

Some of the others’ expressions also slightly shifted.

Dragon Rise is a special forces unit directly under military jurisdiction; other departments have no authority over it. Thus, many people are unaware of its affairs.

Not even many senior officers in the military know about the change in leadership there.

But he didn’t immediately explain, instead looking at Wang Zhengqiang.

Wang Zhengqiang wasn’t aware of this; such minor matters wouldn’t be reported to him.

But after hearing the major general’s question, he couldn’t ignore it.

“If I’m not mistaken, Ziling’s father just took office, right? Not even a month?” After saying what he knew, Wang Zhengqiang asked Luo Ziling: “Your cooperation with Dragon Rise was last year, right?”

“That’s correct!” Luo Ziling nodded, “When Li Haiyang was in office at Dragon Rise, I went to help treat him. During the treatment, he learned about my medicine and insisted on having some. Considering they’re warriors fighting for the country, I couldn’t refuse. However, the raw materials for the medicine are hard to come by, so mass production isn’t possible, and it’s only available in small quantities. The raw materials were all collected by my grandfather and me, and if bought at market price, the price Dragon Rise offered me would make me lose money.”

“I see!” Yan Shiliang nodded towards the bespectacled major general before smiling at Luo Ziling: “If we provide the materials, can it be mass-produced?”

Luo Ziling nodded, answering with neither arrogance nor subservience: “If there’s a large amount of raw material, it’s definitely possible. However, the raw materials are difficult to find, but I believe the country’s resources would make it easier.”

Facing the scrutiny of so many people and in such a setting, with someone questioning him, Luo Ziling remained calm and composed, earning Wang Zhengqiang’s admiration.

He immediately asked Luo Ziling: “Ziling, is it possible to cooperate with the Military Logistics Health Department to produce this life-saving medicine?”

The fact that Wang Zhengqiang directly asked Luo Ziling about this surprised the generals and Luo Ziling alike.

It was unusual.
