Chapter 1646: Chapter 1646: How Should He Make a Decision?
“Can’t you be a little less shameless?”
“Am I shameless?” Seeing Ouyang Feifei look at him with disdain after being speechless for a moment, Luo Ziling proudly said, “I think no one acts more openly and honestly than I do. If others don’t scheme against me, I won’t scheme against them either.”
As he spoke, he leaned toward Ouyang Feifei’s ear and whispered, “If I were shameless enough, you might already be pregnant by now.”
Ouyang Feifei never expected Luo Ziling to say something like this and blushed instantly.
Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s face turn red, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He jumped up from the sofa and ran into his room, shouting as he went, “Going out as a guest, you have to dress up a bit.”
Ouyang Feifei spat at Luo Ziling’s back before she too got up and returned to her room to freshen up.
Half an hour later, Ishihara Naka knocked on the door of the room where Luo Ziling was staying.
Seeing that both Ouyang Feifei and Wang Qing were present, Ishihara Naka enthusiastically invited the two ladies to join him for afternoon tea.
Luo Ziling cheerfully accepted the invitation on their behalf.
Before leaving, Luo Ziling called Hu Wenjun to let him know about his afternoon plans.
Learning that Ishihara Tarou had sent Ishihara Naka to invite Luo Ziling for afternoon tea, Hu Wenjun was a bit surprised but didn’t stop him in the end.
He also reminded Luo Ziling to be cautious and not to fall into their trap, while also paying attention to safety.
Ishihara Tarou had a rather upscale Lexus sedan arranged to pick up Luo Ziling. He sat in the front passenger seat, with Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei in the back. Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and a few others responsible for Luo Ziling’s safety drove their own cars and followed behind, with Wang Qing riding with them.
“If I’m not mistaken, this beautiful lady is the renowned Miss Ouyang, president of the Lingyun Group from Huaxia, isn’t she?” After the car had been on the road for a while, Ishihara Naka, who had been chatting with Luo Ziling, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Ouyang Feifei, “Am I right, Miss Ouyang?”
“That’s right,” since the other party recognized her, Ouyang Feifei admitted openly, “Ziling and I are good friends, and my grandfather and his grandfather have a brotherly bond. I’m just here to handle some matters, so I came to hang out with him. He doesn’t speak Japanese, and I know a little, so I’m temporarily acting as his translator.”
“I’m truly envious of Mr. Luo,” Ishihara Naka looked at Luo Ziling with eyes full of envy and jealousy, “When he just arrived, another pretty lady who immediately caught my fancy was his translator, and now, in these few days, the beautiful president Miss Ouyang, worth billions, is here to act as his companion and translator. In my thinking, nobody in this world is luckier with women than Mr. Luo.”
Luo Ziling chuckled and replied, “I notice your Huaxia language is very fluent, with no misrepresentation in meaning whatsoever.”
Luo Ziling’s words left Ishihara Naka momentarily speechless, and in the end, he just chuckled and didn’t continue the topic of women.
The distance from Ishihara Tarou’s villa to Luo Ziling’s hotel was about a half-hour drive.
In the ensuing time, Ishihara Naka brought up matters related to the older generation.
Just when he returned, he asked Ishihara Tarou a few things. Ishihara Tarou mentioned a little but didn’t say much.
With a strong desire for knowledge, Ishihara Naka was eager to gather more information from Luo Ziling.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling knew even less, as Luo Liansheng hadn’t told him about the incidents that had occurred back then involving Ishihara Tarou, so Luo Ziling was completely unaware. From Ishihara Naka’s mouth, he learned a bit about things from those years and finally understood what was going on after hearing Ishihara Naka’s narration.
Back then, Luo Liansheng visited Japan as a renowned National Medicine Expert from Huaxia and had contact with Ishihara Tarou.
At that time, Ishihara Tarou was still full of youthful vigour and defied everyone, so he directly challenged Luo Liansheng.
The result was, of course, Ishihara Tarou’s complete defeat.
Defeated by Luo Liansheng’s miraculous skills, he was almost inconsolable.
It was at that point he realized that Japanese Medicine still couldn’t compare with Huaxia’s Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The traditional medicine exhibition they attended today was called Traditional Medicine instead of Japanese Medicine, actually, it had a connection with Ishihara Tarou.
Ishihara Tarou openly acknowledged that Japanese Medicine originated from Huaxia and was still under the category of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he candidly admitted his ancestral roots were from Huaxia. Due to Ishihara Tarou’s immense influence, the name Traditional Medicine was ultimately preserved for the exhibition hall.
Ishihara Tarou hoped to further improve his medical skills, thus he persistently asked Luo Liansheng to teach him acupuncture skills, but was rudely refused.
Unwilling to give up, Ishihara Tarou sought out Traditional Chinese Medicine classics everywhere and also studied Qigong but still couldn’t master the legendary Taiyi Divine Needle.
However, the two old men only had one encounter more than twenty years ago and hadn’t met since.
Over the years, Ishihara Tarou’s medical skills had significantly improved, but Luo Liansheng’s had advanced even faster.
This, of course, was Ishihara Tarou’s understanding, as he concluded from watching videos of Luo Ziling’s treatments.
Luo Ziling’s medical skills were already beyond his reach, let alone Luo Ziling’s grandfather’s.
After arriving at such a conclusion, Ishihara Tarou was quite frustrated.
After listening to several matters explained by Ishihara Naka, Luo Ziling became increasingly convinced of what Ouyang Feifei said earlier: today’s invitation from Ishihara Tarou indeed had an agenda. His expectation that they would request his guidance on acupuncture skills was certainly going to happen.
But, Luo Ziling didn’t know whether he should teach it. He understood Ishihara Tarou had a foundation for learning it because from Ishihara Naka’s words, it was clear Ishihara Tarou had learned Qigong to master the Taiyi Divine Needle.
Unable to make up his mind, Luo Ziling thought for a moment, then took out his phone and indicated to Ouyang Feifei to have a conversation with Ishihara Naka while he sent a message. Ouyang Feifei, being very clever, immediately understood what Luo Ziling meant, joined the conversation and inquired about the Ishihara family’s investment directions in recent years.
Hearing Ouyang Feifei’s questions, Ishihara Naka thought she had intentions of collaborating with the Ishihara family and was quite pleased as he shared some family matters with her. After listening, Ouyang Feifei also felt there was a possibility for collaboration between them and paid serious attention to what he was saying.
Amid their conversation, Luo Ziling sent an inquiry message to Luo Liansheng and, fearing Luo Liansheng might not see it, sent the same message to Ling Ruonan.
Ling Ruonan quickly replied, saying she would consult Luo Liansheng for his opinion and would relay the outcome to Luo Ziling.
By the time they arrived at Ishihara Tarou’s villa, Ling Ruonan’s message had returned.
“Your grandfather said, you decide for yourself. If it’s necessary and there’s a reward, you can teach it; if not, decline it.”
Seeing this message, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated.
How was he supposed to decide?
