CapĂtulo 2299: Chapter 2299: Sense of Accomplishment
âThe air conditioning seems too cold!â After sneezing several times, Luo Ziling grabbed a tissue to wipe his nose and went over to adjust the air conditioner, raising the temperature by one degree.
Tonight, he had already sneezed many times.
The climate in the South still wasnât quite suitable for him.
The air conditioning in the Hengdian hotel was set too low.
Wuyue glanced at Luo Ziling and wanted to remind him that perhaps there were too many people scheming against him, hence the sneezing.
Of course, Wuyue didnât believe this theory; sneezing probably had nothing to do with being remembered by others.
After chatting for a bit, Luo Ziling instructed Wuyue to make some arrangements and decided not to go out tonight to avoid potential problems.
Wuyue didnât say much, agreed, and went out to make arrangements.
Luo Ziling sent a message in the WeChat group: âThere were several incidents in Hengdian today. From a safety perspective, letâs not go out tonight. Everyone relax at the hotel. If anyone wants to buy something, let me know, and Iâll arrange for someone to get itânon-urgent items can wait until tomorrow!â
Soon several people asked Luo Ziling what had happened, if it was serious, and what to do if they wanted to buy fruit or have a midnight snack. But Luo Ziling didnât respond; after sending the message, he tossed his phone aside and went for a shower.
He had sweated a lot tonight, necessitating a second shower.
Seeing that Luo Ziling did not respond, Luo Yuqing came out and said a few words, suggesting that anyone who needed anything @ her, and she would arrange it.
So, those who initially asked Luo Ziling said itâs fine now; they didnât want fruit as they were too full from dinner, didnât want a midnight snack, and didnât need to buy daily supplies. Only Dai Shulan timidly asked, âCan I go look at the night view?â
Seeing Dai Shulanâs message, Luo Yuqing said angrily to her roommate: âWhat trouble are you stirring? With multiple groups trying to assassinate Ziling, the situation isnât clear yet. If you go out and something happens, how can we explain it to your parents?â
Dai Shulan was startled, scared into silence.
However, she didnât dare say anything in the group but asked Luo Yuqing a few questions offline.
âWhat exactly happened?â Dai Shulan quietly asked Luo Yuqing, âWho is trying to attack Ziling again? Is he in danger?â
âLook at you all tense!â Luo Yuqing glared disdainfully at Dai Shulan, âIf you like someone, express it boldly. Not doing so will only leave regrets. I despise your timid nature; if it were me, Iâd have already confessed, pursued him proactively, and done whatever it takes.â
Dai Shulan didnât expect, her few questions would lead Luo Yuqing to say so much.
âDidnât your earlier comments mean you wanted Ziling to accompany you shopping? If so, just ask him directly.â Luo Yuqing said through gritted teeth, âIâve given you so much advice, yet you ignored it all, which really irritates me. This trip, did you not think about taking the opportunity to make things happen? If you just happen to get pregnant, wouldnât it be perfect for marrying with a child?â
Dai Shulanâs pretty face instantly turned red, unsure how to respond to Luo Yuqingâs words.
âIâm going to freshen up,â Dai Shulan finally said, blushing, before running into the bathroom to avoid discussing it further with Luo Yuqing.
Seeing Dai Shulanâs hurried retreat, Luo Yuqing could only sigh.
After Luo Ziling finished showering and saw the group messages, he didnât respond.
Luo Yuqing had helped shut down those queries, so he wouldnât create more chaos.
He didnât wait for Wuyue, going to bed early.
Last night he didnât sleep well; today he felt tired early.
After chatting with Yang Qingyin for a bit, he lay down to sleep.
He didnât tell Yang Qingyin about todayâs troubling incidents, just saying everything went smoothly.
Luo Ziling didnât notice when Wuyue returned, nor paid attention.
Next morning, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang arrived in Hengdian.
They hadnât taken the high-speed train but opted for the âZâ series fast train, slept on board, and arrived in the South at daylight. They disembarked at Yuezhou Station and took a taxi directly to Hengdian.
When they arrived, it coincided with the startup ceremony.
âYou came all the way to Hengdian for a few minor roles; is it worth it?â Seeing the trio eagerly appear in front of him, Luo Ziling looked bewildered.
âAbsolutely worth it!â Cao Jianhui said excitedly, âBeing able to star in a TV series, even if itâs more than just an extra role, offers many appearances, definitely worthwhile.â
Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang shared the same excitement, insisting theyâd even go to the Northwest if needed, as long as there were roles for them. However, Luo Ziling arranged only minor roles for them; the Northwest didnât require their presence.
Having them around would certainly be a headache.
The startup ceremony was quite grand, with Yang Ying, Cheng Binbin, and Zhao Lijing all in formal attire. The three big stars naturally attracted attention, requiring no expenses on media; reporters eagerly came to cover the event.
The media covering the event were of high caliber; even the Jiangnan Provincial TV Station sent journalists to interview and report.
Luo Ziling understood it was due to favors from the Southâs leaders.
Just last month, Ding Zhongming was appointed to the Jiangnan Provinceâs publicity department. The former head of publicity encountered issues and was taken by disciplinary departments, leaving Ding Zhongming fortunate to step into the role. Ding Zhongming understood his appointment was facilitated by someoneâs help.
Thus, he was very grateful, thinking several times about visiting Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan in the Capital to thank them but was turned down by Luo Ziling.
This time, with Luo Zilingâs production crew shooting in Hengdian and hosting the startup ceremony, of course, he wanted to lend a hand.
The filming of this show saw voluntary coverage from the Southâs media, with related reports on the day of the ceremony.
Without prior notice, Ding Zhongming did this, making Luo Ziling naturally happy.
He planned on visiting Qiantang during his return trip to meet with the newly promoted Ding Zhongming.
Another Yuezhou official, Wu Jianjun, was likely to reposition by the year-end.
An administrative deputy in Jiangnan Province was being transferred to another province, opening a position expected to fall to Wu Jianjun.
During his return, Luo Ziling intended to pass through Yuezhou, savor some ripe fruit, and visit old homes.
While passing through Yuezhou, he should meet with Wu Jianjun, hinting about this matter.
Assembling talents for Ling Mingrui, these individuals would appreciate him and Ling Mingrui; the benefits derived from this were sufficient. Carrying out such deeds posed no moral burden, given the importance of understanding the character of those he wished to align with, excluding those entangled in excessive scandals.
Luo Ziling also knew that Cao Jianhui eagerly hurried to Hengdian, not only for minor roles but to discuss his parents.
Originally, his parents intended to visit the Capital, but unforeseen events postponed it.
Cao Jianhuiâs purpose for coming was to plead for his parents once again.
In fact, helping these people establish connections gave Luo Ziling a sense of accomplishment.
He felt that his influence was gradually expanding.
However, maintaining control over these people was still quite challenging.
