Wang Zhengqiang and Lin Zeping regarded Luo Ziling differently, inviting him for a private eting, which Ling Mingrui didn't expect.
Luo Ziling perford well during the eting, leaving Ling Mingrui quite satisfied.
In fact, Luo Ziling's performance since arriving in Yanjing had made Ling Mingrui very content.
It even made him lant, if only he were a grandson instead of a grandson-in-law, how great that would be.
If Ling Haining, this legitimate grandson, were as outstanding as Luo Ziling, Ling Mingrui would undoubtedly invest all resources into cultivating him.
Because Luo Ziling is not his grandson, just his grandson-in-law, with the surna Luo, Ling Mingrui feels deep regret.
Ling Ruonan sensed this sentint and ntioned it to Luo Ziling when they left Ling Mingrui's courtyard.
"Did you notice that your grandfather regrets that you're just his grandson-in-law?" Ling Ruonan asked softly.
"It seems that way," Luo Ziling nodded, "He treats , his grandson-in-law, much better than his own grandson. Ling Haining seldom has the chance to play chess with him, and of course, Ling Haining doesn't dare to play with him. In Grandpa's heart, he doesn't see Ling Haining as an adult, and wouldn't discuss important matters with him."
"Yes, that's certainly the case!" Ling Ruonan sighed, "It's a pity your surna is Luo, not Ling."
Luo Ziling nodded, "Yes, my surna is Luo, not Ling, so many things related to the Ling Family have nothing to do with , and I can't change my surna because of these things."
"Ling Haining has been very low-key lately." Ling Ruonan reminded Luo Ziling.
"Yes, I haven't seen much of him or noticed any of his activities lately." Luo Ziling nodded, "After seeing him once at Grandpa's place, I haven't run into him again. He hasn't visited my place either, but Ling Haijun has been quite diligent, constantly helping us."
"Ling Zhenghui and Ling Haijun know they don't have the strength to battle us, and perhaps they see the relationship isn't great between your grandfather and your uncle, so they've made different choices," Ling Ruonan said gently, "Ling Haijun's transformation has been quite fast, and he's perford well over this period. Actually, he's quite capable, handling his responsibilities well."
"Mom, initially we appointed him at Northern Pharmaceuticals mainly because he is a descendant of the Ling Family. Now we don't need to consider this issue anymore. Should we reconsider?"
"What do you think?" Ling Ruonan asked back.
"I think we should let him stay for now, as long as he hasn't made any mistakes," Luo Ziling chuckled, "Ling Haijun is quite obedient, and he genuinely listens, not just pretending on the surface."
Ling Ruonan nodded, "If you think he's usable, then let's use him for now. I'm just afraid if the situation changes in the future, they might beco unreliable."
"I'll find a way to ensure he can't sever ties with us in the future," Luo Ziling smiled, "And also bind Ling Zhenghui and us together."
Recently, Ling Zhenghui has been faring better than Ling Zhengping.
After the fallout with Ling Zhengping, he hasn't encountered any trouble.
Because of his status as a Ling Family descendant, he even got an opportunity in the last conflict, receiving a promotion.
Now he has been assigned to Jiangcheng, the capital of El Province, as an administrative deputy.
If he achieves success in Jiangcheng, he'll certainly have the chance to climb a few more steps.
"To win over more mbers of the Ling Family, you must be cautious to avoid arousing suspicion from your Great Grandfather and grandfather."
"I understand!" Luo Ziling knew what Ling Ruonan ant; she was worried that Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui might think he was undermining the Ling Family.
Currently, Luo Ziling couldn't possibly win over those of higher seniority within the Ling Family, nor could he even if he tried.
His behavior during Ling Jinhua's 90th birthday had already offended most of the Ling Family.
There were only a few among the Ling Family who still had a favorable impression of him. Ling Haijun was the sa; initially, the two were arch-enemies. However, Ling Haijun couldn't outplay Luo Ziling and eventually surrendered, turning over to beco his lackey.
"Mom, things are becoming more interesting, yet more tasteless at the sa ti!"
"How so?" Ling Ruonan was a bit surprised.
"Whatever we do becos an interplay between the upper echelons. Isn't it getting more interesting?" Luo Ziling explained seriously, "The level of contention is so high that it doesn't allow for the slightest slip; otherwise, it can lead to big trouble, which makes it all tasteless."
"Indeed!" Ling Ruonan nodded, "If Wang Zhengqiang or Lin Zeping actively seek out, I must have a good conversation with them. These two have been at odds for a long ti, and neither accepts the other."
"It's good to have competition; it ensures oversight and gets things done better." Saying this, Luo Ziling smiled mysteriously, "It also gives us the opportunity to perform."
Ling Ruonan lightly nodded, saying no more.
After chatting with Ling Ruonan for a while at ho, Luo Ziling was ready to head to school.
Tonight, Luo Liansheng didn't co ho, so Luo Ziling planned to find his grandfather for a chat.
In a couple of days, Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi would visit, and Luo Ziling needed to discuss this matter with his grandfather.
When Luo Ziling arrived at school, he saw Luo Liansheng gathering those learning skills from him and teaching them acupuncture techniques.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ziling felt very guilty.
Lately, he's had many things to deal with. Even though he would co over to teach these people acupuncture techniques when he had no obligations, most of the ti, it was Luo Liansheng instructing them. Although Luo Liansheng volunteered to do these things, Luo Ziling still felt quite apologetic.
When Luo Liansheng finished teaching, Luo Ziling went up to support him to a resting place.
"Grandpa, are you tired with all the things you do day and night?" Luo Ziling said apologetically, "These past two days, there have been many things, and I went to Grandpa's place in the evening. I just got back with Mom, and here I am rushing over."
"I don't mind at all. Discussing these things with them lightens my mood and doesn't require much effort, so I'm not tired," Luo Liansheng chuckled. He then asked Luo Ziling, "Is there sothing you need at this hour?"
Luo Ziling nodded and told Luo Liansheng about Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi coming together to Yanjing, hoping that Luo Liansheng could receive them.
"Grandpa, try to extract so benefits from them, since they haven't taught their grandchildren well."
Luo Liansheng nodded, not refusing Luo Ziling's request, "When they co, regardless of the circumstances, I have to et them, after all, they too are masters of their generation."
"Grandpa, are you preparing for a Mount Hua sword duel with them?"
"Not at all!" Luo Liansheng shook his head, "They can't even compare to you, so I'm not interested in competing with them. However, they are international friends. If they make an appearance in the dia, many nationals who hold Westerners in high esteem might feel their visit elevates our standing."
"Really?" Luo Ziling smiled wryly, finding it both humorous and ludicrous.
Just then, Wang Feiyang peeked in from outside, sowhat sheepishly saying she had sothing important to discuss with Luo Ziling.
