Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601: Mind in Chaos
“Any cost, what does it an?” In the end, Luo Ziling asked in confusion.
“Do I need to specify?” Wang Feiyang rolled his eyes, “With your IQ, you can definitely understand.”
“Alright, if I ask again, you’d think I’m dumb,” Luo Ziling smiled, but then imdiately stopped, “What I can’t understand is why you’re doing this.”
“I know you must think it’s strange. Because I’m only 21 now, haven’t graduated from college, and it’s too early to make a difference. Besides, I have a father who’s the highest-ranking official, just relying on him can give everything I want.”
After Wang Feiyang said this, he stopped, but Luo Ziling did not press him, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing Luo Ziling not pressing, Wang Feiyang gave him a strange look before continuing.
“My father’s background isn’t that deep. To put it bluntly, he’s just a spokesperson for the interests promoted by several of your families. If anyone’s dissatisfied, they could pull him down.” Saying this, Wang Feiyang paused again, a look of lancholy on his face.
Wang Feiyang’s father, Wang Zhengqiang, has only been in his current position for just over a year, arguably hasn’t fully solidified his place.
On the surface, he’s a high-ranking figure, but many know he doesn’t have the final say on many matters.
Even Lin Zeping, who is at the highest position, can’t make decisions on many things.
Of course, Luo Ziling was not aware of these situations. In his mind, these two figures were higher in status than Ling Mingrui and Yang Yuanshan.
But he didn’t know that what Ling Mingrui and Yang Yuanshan said held more weight than Lin Zeping and Wang Zhengqiang.
Because Yanjing’s situation has been turbulent recently, Wang Zhengqiang is also having so trouble.
Li Jiawei being close to Ling Ruonan made so people dissatisfied, thus causing trouble for Wang Zhengqiang.
And Ling Mingrui and Yang Yuanshan turned a blind eye, which gave Wang Zhengqiang a lot of pressure.
Wang Zhengqiang urgently needs others’ support, otherwise, he would find it hard to get things done.
However, in the battle of interests, people wouldn’t easily show support.
This is also the main purpose of Wang Feiyang’s eting with Luo Ziling today.
She hopes that through Luo Ziling, she can get Ling Mingrui, Yang Yuanshan, or Fang Xiang to support Wang Zhengqiang.
Not all three need to show support simultaneously. Just one of them showing support would change the entire situation.
What Wang Feiyang ntioned about being willing to pay any price actually encompassed several purposes.
She wants Luo Ziling to connect Wang Zhengqiang to overco the current predicant, and also wants Luo Ziling to help her succeed, making the Wang Family one of the prominent families in Yanjing.
Wang Feiyang keenly knows that after these events, the prominent families in Yanjing will surely undergo a reshuffle; so will fall, so will rise again.
Although Luo Ziling is a pawn in so people’s hands, just as he said, he doesn’t have the mindset of being a pawn.
Luo Ziling’s ruthlessness has made the current Yanjing situation completely unpredictable. More importantly, Fang Xiang now openly supports Luo Ziling, Ling Mingrui has also acknowledged this grandson, and even Yang Yuanshan, once a foe of the Luo Family, is willing to accept his treatnt, which ans acknowledgnt.
A man adored by so many, with such outstanding abilities, it’s hardly possible for him not to achieve great things in the future.
Therefore, Wang Feiyang ca to Luo Ziling before he was about to go abroad, intending to cooperate with him.
Of course, before approaching Luo Ziling, Wang Feiyang hesitated for several days.
She knew that if she revealed her real purpose, she would certainly be looked down on by Luo Ziling, perhaps even despised.
But not considering marrying Luo Ziling, she believed that once she stated her intentions, Luo Ziling would understand and perhaps even accept.
After Wang Feiyang finished speaking, Luo Ziling finally understood her aning and couldn’t help being astonished.
“I say, Wang Feiyang, have you been provoked by sothing? This kind of thing, I, a nobody, can’t help with at all. You’ve definitely co to the wrong person for help,” Luo Ziling chuckled, speaking without looking at Wang Feiyang, “I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear what you just said.”
“Luo Ziling, I’m serious,” Wang Feiyang, having opened up, no longer held back, “I’m not hiding from you, precisely because my father is being threatened by soone with the surna Chen, so I don’t want to leave Yanjing at this ti. That day, my mother and I ca to see you, which included the aning I just ntioned. However, my mother hasn’t caught on yet. She’s relatively traditional and doesn’t care enough about my father’s affairs, and my father wouldn’t tell her these things either.”
“Your father would tell you these things?” Luo Ziling appeared quite surprised.
“Rarely,” Wang Feiyang shook her head, “but he would discuss so political matters with , knowing I’m interested in politics.”
Luo Ziling was silent for a mont, then asked, “I think, if you wanted soone’s help, wouldn’t reaching out to soone close to them be better?”
Wang Feiyang lowered her head and gave a bitter smile, “Do you think there’s anyone more suitable than you? You don’t have a close relationship with the Chen-surnad individual and are close with the elders of the other families. Haven’t you thought that maybe just an inadvertent word from you could prompt them to take a stand?”
“You’re the most scheming female student I’ve ever t. Compared to you, Ouyang Feifei, Yang Qingyin, and Luo Yuqing are far behind.”
“I’ll take your words as a complint, though I know you’re criticizing .”
“I’m not criticizing you,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “I honestly think you’re decisive and scheming, though that’s neither a complint nor an insult.”
Wang Feiyang frowned slightly and asked, “Are you saying you’re refusing?”
Luo Ziling shook his head again, “I don’t have the ability to fulfill your wishes; how can I talk about refusing or accepting?”
“You can help fulfill my wishes, can help , but you just don’t want to,” Wang Feiyang stated, looking at Luo Ziling without blinking, “Am I right?”
“If you say so, then it is,” Luo Ziling didn’t want to argue with her, “I’m just a student struggling at the bottom, preparing to work hard, but what you want to do is sothing at the imperial level. Do you think it’s realistic?”
“Realistic!”
“…”
“Alright, I won’t force you to reply to now,” Wang Feiyang looked at Luo Ziling and finally changed her mind, “I know you haven’t thought about these things. Take so ti while you’re abroad to think about it. I’m planning to go back to my study location for a few days tomorrow, should be on a flight around the sa ti as you. In a few days, I’ll co back and find you to hear your considered decision.”
Luo Ziling thought for a mont, didn’t say much, and nodded in agreent, “Alright, so let’s talk then!”
For so reason, Wang Feiyang’s words earlier disturbed his mind.
Not because Wang Feiyang promised willingness to pay the price, but because of the other things she ntioned.
