Capítulo 2300: Chapter 2300: Each Gets What They Need

Luo Ziling’s guess wasn’t wrong after all, Cao Jianhui took a moment during the opening ceremony to talk about his parents.

“Actually, my mom also came to Hengdian, she wants to find a chance to chat with you. When are you free?”

Luo Ziling was shocked after hearing this: “No way, your mom wants to use a beauty trap?”

“What did you say?” Cao Jianhui’s face changed instantly, and he looked at Luo Ziling murderously.

“I was just joking,” Luo Ziling quickly waved his hands, “From you, I can conclude that your mom has no chance to use a beauty trap!”

So, Cao Jianhui, unable to bear the grief and anger, wanted to fight Luo Ziling on the spot: “Just because you’re handsome, don’t think you can insult others. Humph, my mom might not be as pretty as your mom, but she was a beauty in her youth. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t beat you, I’d make sure these pretty girls find you disgusting today.”

“Even if you beat me to a pulp, they wouldn’t find me disgusting!” Luo Ziling looked smug.

Cao Jianhui immediately looked smug too: “Even if I looked like a pig and revealed my identity, many school beauties would still throw themselves into my arms!”

This statement angered Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang standing nearby, and they dragged Cao Jianhui aside, giving him a good beating before feeling satisfied.

“Looking like Wu Dalang and still dreaming of marrying Pan Jinlian!”

“Dare to compare your looks with the boss? You should look in the mirror!”

Seeing the three guys making a scene in public, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Life is always particularly interesting with these three jokers.

Nonetheless, Luo Ziling didn’t refuse to meet Cao Jianhui’s mother.

After lunch, when everyone went back to rest, he went with Cao Jianhui to meet his mother.

At two-thirty in the afternoon, the first scene would start shooting at the Qingming Festival Scenic Area, with the crew and other staff making preparations.

The performers were also preparing, but they were only reviewing scripts or discussing the plot.

The three met at a café near the shooting location.

“Hello Auntie!” Luo Ziling greeted Cao Jianhui’s mother politely when he saw her.

“Mr. Luo, you’re too kind!” Although Cao Jianhui’s mother maintained herself quite well, compared to Ling Ruonan, there was a huge difference.

On the surface, their age differed by at least twenty years.

But in fact, the two were only three years apart in age, Ling Ruonan’s good maintenance and natural beauty could make people believe she’s only in her twenties. If she were with Luo Ziling, many would surely believe she was his girlfriend.

Cao Jianhui’s mother might be busy with work and not keen on maintenance, a typical middle-aged woman.

In this regard, Luo Ziling felt he could proudly tease Cao Jianhui.

Of course, Cao Jianhui wouldn’t argue with him about this, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t.

Cao Jianhui’s mother didn’t come with Cao Jianhui; she rushed over from Ji Province this morning.

She felt very apologetic for agreeing to meet Luo Ziling a few days ago but not being able to come in the end. Just after sitting down, she apologized to Luo Ziling.

“Some unexpected events, it’s quite normal. I’ve been busy too these days, haven’t stayed at school, nor have I talked with Jianhui properly.” Luo Ziling wasn’t bothered, he was so busy these days he had indeed forgotten about the matter with Cao Jianhui.

If Cao Jianhui hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have remembered that his mother wanted to meet him.

But he was surprised that Cao Jianhui’s mother came such a long way to meet him.

“Auntie, I’ll be returning to Yanjing in a few days, Jianhui and the others are here for a few days as extras, they’ll go home after filming. I thought you might come again when I return to Yanjing.”

Hearing Luo Ziling’s words, Cao Jianhui’s mother quickly explained: “You all are together for these few days, so I just came to see how Jianhui is doing with the filming. In a few days, you’ll be traveling again, and I’m afraid we’ll miss the chance. I wanted to ask Mr. Luo for some help in person.”

“Don’t call me Mr. Luo, just call me by my name.” Luo Ziling smiled at the slightly nervous Cao Jianhui sitting aside, and said smilingly to his mother: “Jianhui and I are buddies, the few of us are dormitory brothers, we’ll definitely help each other out if there’s anything. I’m just not sure if I can help with your request.”

Cao Jianhui wisely chose not to interrupt, knowing it was best for him to be a passerby at moments like this.

No matter what he said, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Not knowing what to say, he felt his mother must have thought of how to phrase everything.

So after chatting for a while, he left temporarily under the pretext of discussing the afternoon’s extra matters with the crew.

What Cao Jianhui thought wasn’t wrong, his mother had surely thought through what to say since she traveled this far to find Luo Ziling.

Actually, she wanted to avoid suspicion by coming to Hengdian, so others wouldn’t notice her looking for Luo Ziling.

Going to Yanjing to find Luo Ziling, she was somewhat worried others might see and cause trouble for both sides.

After all, many things cannot be openly discussed or let others know or see.

Since she was here, she didn’t hide anything and told Luo Ziling her thoughts and hopes.

With just two people, talking was less constrained.

She spoke to Luo Ziling about some difficulties and irritations; Cao Jianhui’s father’s position was already at a bottleneck, without support, he might end his career in his current position.

“Mr. Luo, we don’t have much backing, no deep connections with Yanjing nobles, so we hope you can help, and we will definitely have a great reward for you!”

Seeing that Cao Jianhui’s mother made the topic clear, Luo Ziling smiled and asked directly: “If I help you get things done, how would you thank me?”

Cao Jianhui’s mother didn’t expect Luo Ziling to ask so directly and was momentarily caught off guard.

Luo Ziling didn’t explain anything, just leisurely drank tea.

Cao Jianhui’s mother thought for a moment, and realized the meaning in Luo Ziling’s words.

“If Jianhui’s father has the fortune to enter the Capital, or advance further, we will definitely uphold Ling and Luo families’ interests. Whatever Mr. Luo and your mom want us to do, we will obey.”

Seeing that Cao Jianhui’s mother actually guessed his thoughts, Luo Ziling felt greatly relieved.

If Cao Jianhui’s mother had proposed to thank him with money or similar ways, Luo Ziling would surely have different thoughts.

Since the other party understood his intentions and was willing to follow their commands, Luo Ziling would certainly help them out.

“I’ll look for some opportunities for you.” Luo Ziling didn’t specify much, “If a suitable position opens up, I’ll suggest to my mom to tell my grandfather, who would definitely love to recommend talented individuals to the organization!”

Luo Ziling’s words also eased Cao Jianhui’s mother’s anxiety.
