Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783: Wuyue’s Methods
After a while, Wuyue arrived.
Today’s Wuyue was completely dressed like a professional beauty.
However, the pride on her face made her appear even more elegant and noble. Just by looking at her appearance, no one would consider her an assistant; they would surely think she is someone with significant status.
“This is my friend Miss Wuyue, she can fully represent me.” As he said this, Luo Ziling glanced at Luo Yuqing, who was sitting quietly and behaving like a lady, without much to say.
Sure enough, he saw Luo Yuqing scornfully curl her lips, showing a very dissatisfied expression.
Luo Ziling didn’t care.
Wuyue was proficient in Japanese, which Luo Ziling knew very well, so he told her about Koizumi Miyaning’s purpose of visit and asked her to communicate with him.
Seeing Wuyue speaking fluent Japanese, Koizumi Miyaning was overjoyed and immediately abandoned his not-so-fluent Chinese to converse with Wuyue in Japanese. After a while of communication, Wuyue told Luo Ziling that one of Koizumi Miyaning’s purposes was to discuss his experiences in treating paraquat poisoning, as he was preparing to write an article.
When the article is published, he will include Luo Ziling’s name and give appropriate compensation.
The names of the magazines Koizumi Miyaning mentioned were unknown to Luo Ziling, but Luo Yuqing, sitting nearby, had heard of them. SCI and something related to “Nature” magazine are renowned internationally.
Luo Ziling was not very interested in these matters. Unlike typical scientific researchers who value papers highly, for him, publishing papers had nothing to do with his medical skills.
But for many who work in scientific research or certain employment sectors aiming for title promotion, papers become extremely important, especially in the medical field. Without an impressive paper, getting promoted is not so easy.
And for someone like Koizumi Miyaning, who seeks greater academic achievements or even has other motives, having a strong publication is even more crucial. He even dreams of winning a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine someday.
Luo Ziling was interested in the second purpose of Koizumi Miyaning’s visit.
Therefore, he asked Wuyue to inquire in detail about what aspects Koizumi Miyaning wanted to collaborate on with them.
Luo Ziling also planned to have people investigate the Koizumi family’s situation after returning, to see what resources and capabilities they have. According to the conversation between Koizumi Miyaning and Wuyue, the Koizumi family is involved in a wide range of investments, including medicine, new energy, real estate, ocean transportation, and finance.
“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated,” Luo Ziling believed in this saying.
Currently, he was unfamiliar with the Koizumi family’s situation, so he couldn’t achieve a full understanding of them.
After talking with Wuyue for nearly an hour, Luo Ziling decided to take his leave.
Although he accompanied Wuyue in chatting with Koizumi Miyaning, Luo Ziling didn’t fully understand the situation and needed to discuss it with Wuyue.
His excuse was that he had another patient to treat, and he would have to excuse himself temporarily. After dealing with his matters, he would come back to chat with Koizumi Miyaning. Since Koizumi had traveled such a long way, he ought to host a dinner for him.
Regardless, Koizumi Miyaning had helped him when he was in Japan, supporting him and outshining the little old vice president of Tokyo University, thanks to Koizumi Miyaning.
After leaving Koizumi Miyaning’s room, Wuyue immediately made a few calls, instructing her subordinates to investigate the Koizumi family’s situation.
“Young master, I think it would be better to report this matter to the young lady as well,” Wuyue shared her honest opinion. “I think the Koizumi family is definitely not simple; they might even be more powerful than the Ishihara family. If we want to venture into Japan and establish some industries there, cooperation with them would be beneficial. I also planted a listening device in his room; if there’s anything unusual, we should be able to pick up on something.”
“Alright,” Luo Ziling agreed, “after all, these things are not my forte.”
He suddenly remembered that Ling Ruonan had instructed him to maintain contact with Koizumi Miyaning, as she also wanted to meet him, and perhaps even meet Koizumi’s father, the Governor of Tokyo.
The group went straight to the Northern Group headquarters.
“Koizumi Miyaning came?” Seeing Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing, and Wuyue enter, Ling Ruonan, who was looking at some documents, raised her head, “What did you just talk about?”
Wuyue and Luo Ziling recounted the conversation truthfully.
At this point, the information they requested about the Koizumi family arrived.
In fact, Ling Ruonan had already asked people to look into some information about the Koizumi family, but not through special channels.
And the information Wuyue got was obtained through some special channels.
Of course, Luo Ziling was unaware of this.
After looking at the Koizumi family’s data, Luo Ziling was greatly surprised.
Indeed, just as Wuyue speculated, the Koizumi family’s influence is enormous, with extensive and diverse investments.
Another surprising point for Luo Ziling was that many important figures in Japan analyzed that Koizumi Miyaning’s father was likely to run for the next Prime Minister election.
To put it simply, the Koizumi family in Japan is akin to the Ling, Chen, Fang, and Yang families in Yanjing.
Compared to the Koizumi family, the Ishihara family falls short, at least in terms of political influence.
This highlights the Koizumi family’s influence in Japan.
After thinking it over, Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling, “Tonight, I will invite Mr. Koizumi Miyaning to dinner, and you will attend as well.”
Luo Ziling hadn’t expected Ling Ruonan to take the meeting with Koizumi Miyaning so seriously, which surprised him slightly.
But he soon realized Koizumi Miyaning’s significance. If Ling Ruonan wants to expand her business into Japan and achieve some success, it’s necessary not only to cooperate with the Ishihara family but also with the Koizumi family. “Although I’m not interested in business negotiations, since Her Majesty commands, I shall obey,” Luo Ziling humorously agreed to Ling Ruonan’s request.
“Talking nonsense again,” Ling Ruonan was a bit embarrassed and annoyed as Luo Ziling made such remarks in front of Luo Yuqing and Wuyue.
At this moment, Ling Ruonan’s phone rang, and seeing the incoming number, she hurriedly answered.
After hearing a few words, the smile on her face faded, and she seemed a bit lonely.
“What happened?” Luo Ziling was slightly worried.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Ruonan spoke, “Your father went back.”
Luo Yuqing was shocked and immediately stood up; she hadn’t even said goodbye to Luo Xusheng yet.
“He’ll come back again anyway,” Luo Ziling seemed indifferent, “He already mentioned in the morning that whether in the afternoon or evening, he might leave without saying goodbye.”
Ling Ruonan hesitated for a moment but eventually said nothing.
In fact, Luo Xusheng had just informed her that they discovered quite a few irregularities.
Some people from the Ling Family were constantly making small moves.
He advised Ling Ruonan to be careful—because things were very complicated, and a single careless move could lead to big trouble.
