Zhu Hanjun is the administrative head of Jiangnan Province, wielding significant influence in the appointnt of local officials.
It can also be said that personnel arrangents to a certain extent beco a "battleground" for these officials.
Xu Chen took over Ding Zhongming's position in Yuezhou due to Zhu Hanjun's intentions, which Ding Zhongming attributed to Zhu Hanjun doing it for him or the Ling Family. This struck Luo Ziling as absurd, yet he understood the complexity of the situation.
Looking at it, both Ding Zhongming and Xu Chen seed very strategic, raising his flag to demonstrate strength without his say-so.
Ding Zhongming seed to understand his point, quickly explaining, "Mr. Luo, we did nothing. Maybe it's because Xu Chen's husband and I were classmates, causing the misunderstanding. Please rest assured, Mr. Luo, under no circumstances will we act against your interests or the Ling Family's."
"Congratulations to Minister Ding on your promotion. I hope in a few years I can still call you Minister Ding, and by then, share a drink with you in Yanjing."
Luo Ziling's words imdiately relieved Ding Zhongming.
"Hope it happens as Mr. Luo said," Ding Zhongming smiled, thanked Luo Ziling again, "Mr. Luo's kindness will be rembered throughout my life by Ding Zhongming."
"Minister Ding, you are too kind. I must head to the airport. Let's have tea together next ti we get the chance," Luo Ziling said, waving to Xu Chen, who stood a bit farther away, "Chen, I'm leaving first, take your ti chatting."
After sending Luo Ziling to his car, Ding Zhongming and Xu Chen went back to the dining room.
"How did it go?" As the diator, Ding Zhongming was very concerned about Xu Chen's progress in approaching Luo Ziling today.
"He's a little fox," Xu Chen felt sowhat awkward, "He's more experienced than us, knowing how to keep us on edge."
"So people are naturally destined for great things!" Ding Zhongming said with a bitter smile, "If my understanding is correct, he is the only one who can speak before most of the elders. Previously, he went to Jiangnan with Sir Ling, then to Tanzhou to treat Sir Yang's illness. Elder Fang treated him very well. After he returned from Japan and South Korea last ti, he personally attended the summary comndation conference. Except for Elder Chen, other elders also treat him well. How many people in this world enjoy such treatnt?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen was shocked, gently nodding.
She indeed wasn't very aware of these matters.
No wonder Luo Ziling is so arrogant; turns out his confidence is well-founded.
She admitted she hadn't paid enough attention to Luo Ziling, so things hadn't been investigated.
She quietly asked Ding Zhongming, "Do you think he is willing to help ?"
"It depends on how hard you try!" Ding Zhongming chuckled, "However, I feel they need quite a few helpers. His mother has taken a position at the ministry and needs assistance. The Ling Family also needs to recruit talent, as long as there's an opportunity and if they are satisfied, then the... opportunity can be found!"
Understanding Ding Zhongming's aning, Xu Chen gently nodded.
She regretted today's encounter with Luo Ziling ended fruitlessly but knew she was too impatient.
Today was just their first eting, can't even call it familiarity.
If it were her, eting soone new today who asked her for help, she certainly wouldn't agree directly.
Requesting help for the first ti, expecting success, would be quite laughable, wouldn't it?
Thinking about this, Xu Chen felt sowhat relieved.
But thinking that Luo Ziling would leave for the Northwest shortly and wouldn't return for two months made her feelings a bit bleak again.
After two months, maybe Luo Ziling might have already forgotten her request.
Building relationships is best done when hit while warm, otherwise, it's hard to achieve.
Xu Chen decided to find a way to see Luo Ziling again.
She had Luo Ziling's number and decided to contact him via phone or ssage for so ti.
She hadn't figured out when Luo Ziling would leave for the Northwest, and thought if she had ti and an opportunity, she would go to Yanjing to et Luo Ziling in person.
After leaving the dining place, Luo Ziling directly headed to the airport.
The fruit brought back to Yanjing was shipped via freight, set to arrive the next morning.
He carried a few pounds of fruit himself, planning to let Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng try them imdiately.
Unexpectedly, today's flight took off on ti.
No delays, slightly tightening Luo Ziling's schedule.
Upon passing security, heading into the boarding area with Wuyue and others, the broadcast was already announcing their boarding.
In other words, the airport expected they would be late boarding, thus broadcasted a reminder.
After they quickly boarded the plane, the cabin door closed shortly after.
Before the plane taxied, the pretty flight attendant instructed everyone to turn off their phones.
Before his phone switched off, Luo Ziling received a ssage from Xu Chen.
"Mr. Luo, happy to et you today. I didn't expect to resonate with a younger brother like this. I know you're a brilliant scholar; hope we can learn from you more in the future. By the way, when are you heading to the Northwest? If possible, I would like to co to Yanjing to visit you, okay?"
Luo Ziling read the ssage but didn't reply, instead shutting down his phone.
The plane quickly ascended into the clouds.
Luo Ziling encountered for the first ti a flight that arrived ahead of schedule.
The scheduled arrival at Yanjing Airport was nine forty-five PM, but the flight landed at nine thirty-five PM.
Post landing, Luo Ziling replied to Xu Chen's ssage.
He inford Xu Chen about his rough departure ti and expressed his warm welco for her visit to Yanjing.
"I've arrived in Yanjing, today's flight surprisingly wasn't delayed, I'm heading ho now, chat later if anything cos up!"
Receiving this ssage from Luo Ziling finally put Xu Chen, who felt slightly uneasy, at ease.
When Luo Ziling reached ho, Ling Ruonan was waiting in the living room, along with Luo Liansheng.
Upon seeing Luo Ziling return, both stood up to greet him.
Wuyue and Zhu Yijun ca in carrying several boxes of fruit and, after placing them in the living room, left.
Luo Ziling opened the boxes, offered Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng the fruit, saying these fruits were pesticide-free and safe to eat.
As the three ate fruit together, Ling Ruonan asked about Luo Ziling's trip.
Instead of answering imdiately, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan how she viewed Xu Chen.
"This woman's resu is spotless, according to my inquiries, she has no misconduct, and she effectively uses others' weaknesses to strive for herself, a very capable person. However, she has offended quite a few people, though it's unclear why she got the chance for promotion this ti. If her sole intention is goodwill towards us without ulterior motives, she can be valuable."
"That's reassuring!" Luo Ziling was delighted, "I feel that with a female assistant by your side, you'd certainly strengthen your endeavors further!"
Ling Ruonan listened, stared at Luo Ziling briefly, then nodded gently, "You're considerate. I will personally evaluate this person. If satisfactory, I'll have her work beside ."
