"Last ti, didn't Dragon Rise arrange for so people to get into Japan and South Korea through cooperation?" Seeing that Luo Ziling didn't get what she ant, Ling Ruonan had to explain further: "After those people went in, they uncovered a lot of secrets we didn't know before. What the Ishihara Family and the Xu Family are doing in the dark—besides drug trafficking and human trafficking—whether it's normal cross-border trade or shady smuggling, they're involved in all of it, and very deeply involved."
Luo Ziling imdiately understood what Ling Ruonan ant. "Mom, you want us to get involved in these things too?"
"We can use them to fight for so benefits. Anyway, we're already working with them. There's nothing wrong with taking so profit through cooperation. Also, you know Western countries have embargoes on so high-end, cutting-edge products for us. We can use them to get our hands on those high-end things." Ling Ruonan spoke very firmly.
Luo Ziling was startled. "Mom, don't tell you're even planning to pay attention to so high-end weapons?"
"Nothing wrong with that either. Your grandfather has already instructed us to do this." Ling Ruonan said it in a casual tone: "Doing this kind of thing, we've got the country as our backing; it's very safe. As long as we don't really infuriate the Aricans and a few major European powers, nothing will happen. Of course, even if we do piss them off, we still have the country behind us."
"All right then!" Luo Ziling still felt a bit uneasy, but with Ling Ruonan sounding so confident, he didn't pour cold water on her.
By the ti mother and son finished chatting, it was already past eleven.
Luo Ziling didn't go back to school; he slept at ho.
After taking a shower and getting ready to lie down on the bed, he habitually took out his phone to check it and saw a bunch of unread ssages. For the people who weren't that important he just replied a simple line, and for people like Ouyang Feifei, Dong Xiaowan, Wang Feiyang, Luo Yuqing, and Dai Shulan, he replied with a few more words.
But he didn't see any ssage from Yang Qingyin.
"Senior, are you asleep?" Luo Ziling sent a ssage.
"Yeah, I'm asleep!"
"If you're asleep, how are you replying?"
"Yup, I sleepwalk all the ti." There were a few eye-roll emojis after that.
"I was crazy busy today, didn't have a second free."
"You've got so many beauties to take care of, of course you're busy!" Yang Qingyin still added a few eye-roll emojis at the end.
"I don't even have ti for a top beauty like you, let alone anyone else!" After sending that, Luo Ziling imdiately followed up with another ssage: "Feels like I'm being pulled in a hundred directions. I really miss those laid-back days when I just ca to Yanjing. You know what? Ishihara Naka went with us to the Northwest and actually did spy work there."
"No way?" Yang Qingyin was surprised. "How could that happen?"
"It's hard being a man. Not only do I have to date girls, I also have to worry about all kinds of things—state affairs and national issues. Just think how many there are."
This earned him a string of eye-roll emojis from Yang Qingyin. Then she sent another ssage: "My grandpa said he'll be at the old residence tomorrow afternoon. If you've got ti, go over and see him. He was busy today, and you were busy too, so I didn't set anything up."
"Ti can always be squeezed out, unless sothing urgent blows up. Besides, eting your grandpa is also very important. Let's make it tomorrow afternoon then, we'll go together. Oh right, when you went ho today, did anything happen? How's your mom doing?"
"My mom's just pissed off because of my dad, she's in a bit of a gloomy mood. Otherwise she should be fine. Anyway, they're in cold war mode now. My dad's ignoring us like we don't exist."
"All right, as long as there's no more battles breaking out, that's good."
After they chatted for a while, they said goodnight and went to sleep.
Just as Luo Ziling was about to fall asleep, Wang Feiyang sent him a ssage.
"I thought you weren't going to reply to ."
Then another one: "Still this busy at night?"
"Of course I'm busy, I'm exhausted like a dog!"
"I don't believe you!" Wang Feiyang also added a few eye-roll emojis and imdiately sent another one: "Oh, I get it. Accompanying won really is tiring!"
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep." Luo Ziling didn't want to banter with Wang Feiyang.
"There is sothing, of course there's sothing."
Luo Ziling ignored her.
Very soon, Wang Feiyang sent another ssage: "My dad wants to invite you over for a simple al at our house. When are you free?"
"I probably don't have ti these two days. Tomorrow and the day after are already booked."
"For real?"
"For real!"
Wang Feiyang replied angrily: "You're really annoying, you don't treat as your person at all."
"If I didn't have so many things to deal with, and if there weren't so many people trying to kill , I'd love to loaf around all day, drinking and chasing girls."
"Fine, I'll ask you again in a couple of days."
Luo Ziling didn't respond to Wang Feiyang anymore. After sending a "goodnight," he tossed his phone aside.
The next morning, Luo Ziling didn't have class. Over in Clinical dicine they just happened to have Diagnostics, so he went over and sat in on two periods.
Near noon, he got a call from Wu Mingyun, who asked on the phone if Luo Ziling had ti, and if so, to co by his office. Luo Ziling didn't refuse and happily trotted over to Wu Mingyun's office.
"Principal Li talked to about finding a way to let you graduate early," Wu Mingyun got straight to the point. "I also think holding both student and teacher identities at the sa ti really isn't a good idea. So people might use that to attack you, and we both know there are plenty of people who want to do you harm. But I still want to hear what you think."
"I also want to get my diploma as soon as possible. But I know that 'soon' has its limits. I want to study internal dicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics; I need to get the theory down, and I also need to rotate through all the hospital departnts, and strive to beco a qualified general practitioner. Only after I'm familiar with modern dicine can I really integrate Chinese and Western dicine and combine the two."
"Then let's do it this way: I'll give you the course schedules for all the Clinical dicine classes, and you can freely choose which lectures to attend!" Wu Mingyun said this with a smile. "At least you don't need to worry about the exams—we'll definitely let you pass. We also know you're very strict with yourself. If you want to learn sothing, you won't stop until you've fully grasped it. You've already achieved so much in dicine, there's no need to play gas with these things. There are many things we might not recomnd you to learn, but if you think it's necessary, you'll definitely spend a lot of ti studying them, right?"
"Dean Wu, you've even prepared my justification for , what else can I say?" Luo Ziling said with an embarrassed smile.
After chatting for a while, Luo Ziling told Wu Mingyun that Li Jinhui would most likely be leaving his post as Yan University's principal, but that it was still only an internal rumor. The candidate for the new principal might be brought in from outside or selected from among the current vice principals. He told Wu Mingyun to make all the preparations he should. Hearing this, Wu Mingyun imdiately perked up. "All right, I'll definitely get everything I can ready!"
"I'm really hoping Dean Wu can take charge of Yan University. Then I'll be able to swagger around sideways on campus."
Luo Ziling's joke left Wu Mingyun half amused, half exasperated.
