Chapter 1482: Affiliated family
Translator: 549690339
Lou Mingyang went to Lou Ziling’s office with doubts. It used to be his office. Since he pa.s.sed the power of the company to Lou Ziling, he gave the biggest and best office to her.
He was a President. He had to look like a President. Lou Ziling had a cold and powerful aura. The high-end office was the most suitable for him.
Lou Mingyang entered the office and looked around quietly. Then, he found the cotton ball with blood in the trash can.
“Ziling, are you injured?” he frowned.
Lou Ziling immediately became alert. Just as Lou Mingyang knew him, he also knew Lou Mingyang.
!!
Lou Mingyang looked very gentle and seemed like a good man without any ulterior motives. But in fact, he was very meticulous and had sharp eyes. He could predict the cause and effect of any small clues.
At the moment, Lou Ziling could not explain to Lou Mingyang that Jing Xi had bitten him.
Lou Ziling carried on her usual cold and arrogant style. She turned on her computer indifferently and ignored Lou Mingyang.
Lou Mingyang asked a few more times, but Lou Ziling didn’t respond no matter what he said as if she didn’t hear him.
“Ziling, I heard that Jing Xi has returned to China. Have you seen her?”
Lou Ziling’s fingers on the keyboard paused for a moment, but then she continued to type calmly.
Lou Mingyang wasn’t angry when his son didn’t reply. It was normal for Lou Ziling to not reply. It was rare for her to reply to him like a joke.
“You should put aside your messy girlfriend for now. Find some time to treat Jing Xi to a meal or coffee, or take her out to play.”
“Recently, the scenery at Dayun temple has been good. There are many people there to play. You can take her there too!”
“But when you go up the mountain, you have to be careful of Jing Xi’s safety at all times. Protect her well and be more alert. Don’t be so cold all the time and act like a young master.”
……
Lou Mingyang said a lot, but the central idea he conveyed was only one: He strongly requested Lou Ziling to serve Jing Xi well.
Lou Ziling was a man of few words, but he had a bad temper. He could accept Jing Xi’s constant chatter, but he didn’t have the patience to listen to anyone else’s nagging.
“Dad, you should go to work. Have you come up with the acquisition plan for kangjian sports?”
Lou Mingyang glared,”your wings have hardened?!” Now that your position is higher than mine, you still dare to suppress me? No matter how high your position is, I’m still your father!”
Lou Ziling rubbed her forehead and said helplessly,””I didn’t say you’re not, but I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense now.”
“What did I say that was a mess? Every sentence was useful! Put aside all your work first, find a good day and go hiking with Jing Xi! To be her bodyguard! If she’s even a little unhappy, you don’t have to come back. You can become a monk at Dayun temple!”
Those who didn’t know would probably think that Jing Xi was his daughter and Lou Ziling was just someone he had picked up.
“I’m the president of a Corporation. If word gets out that I’m a bodyguard for a young lady, what would it look like?”
He had just driven Jing Xi away when Lou Ziling disagreed with him. How could he have the face to look for her again?
“This will damage the company’s image, and people will think that I’m using an underaged girl to climb up. I’m not going!”
“Nonsense!”
Lou Mingyang was not happy. He felt that his son was being perfunctory.”You misunderstood you just because you were climbing a mountain with Jing Xi? Our Lou family is a subsidiary family of the Jing family and we have been relying on the Jing family’s support to get to where we are today. Is it useful to avoid suspicion? Was there a need? No one else wants to be a subsidiary family, but family Jing doesn’t accept them. ”
As the saying goes,”one can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree”. Lou family had always had the support of family Jing, which was why they could do business smoothly and no one dared to make things difficult for them. Although the scale had never been large, the annual income was enough to make the world envious.
Without the Jing family, the Lou family’s market would have been taken over by others.
Therefore, Lou Mingyang had never thought of avoiding suspicion. He wanted to cling to Jingsheng enterprise.
“Besides, what’s so embarra.s.sing about being Jing Xi’s bodyguard? If the other senior executives of the company knew that you were close to Jing Xi, they would only be more loyal to you! If the other employees in the company knew about this, they would only think that you’re capable!”
Lou Ziling’s expression turned cold.”Dad, I hope that the loyalty of my employees is based on my personal business skills, not to curry favor with others and use other people’s names to win people’s hearts!”
This was the fundamental reason why Lou Ziling had always refused to get too close to Jing Xi.
The benefits of getting close to Jing Xi and winning her favor and support were obvious. Success was at his fingertips!
However, Lou Ziling’s pride and dignity as a man did not allow him to do so.
He didn’t want the Lou family to be the subordinate family of family Jing or someone else for the rest of his life.
Jingsheng enterprise had been providing support to family Lou all this time. Was it for nothing?
Of course not!
Jingsheng enterprise was not a charity organization!
Family Lou had done a lot for family Jing in the past year.
The Lou family had to support any decision made by the Jing family at once. They had to do whatever the Jing family could not do.
To put it bluntly, the Lou family was just cannon fodder.
If they did it well, the glory and interests would basically belong to family Jing. If they did not do it well and failed, it would be family Lou who would be destroyed.
Lou Ziling knew that it was impossible for the Lou family to completely leave the Jing family with their current strength.
His short-term goal wasn’t to leave family Jing, but to strengthen his own power and become a second-rate family. At least, family Jing wouldn’t attack family Lou when they were in danger.
His wings were not yet fully grown, and he still had to move forward in silence and loneliness in the darkness.
However, Lou Mingyang and Lou Ziling were from two different generations. Lou Mingyang had witnessed the glory of family Jing year after year. The long and powerful family Jing had left a deep impression in his heart. He, like many other middle-aged and elderly people in A city, had a fanatical wors.h.i.+p and deep fear of family Jing.
Young people were always full of courage and didn’t know how powerful family Jing was, nor did they know what fear was.
“I’m not asking you to work for Jing Xi,” Lou Mingyang said.”I’m just playing with her and protecting her. Is it that hard?”
“I won’t accompany her anymore,” Lou Ziling replied indifferently.”I won’t be her bodyguard.”
“You think it’s embarra.s.sing?”
Lou Mingyang shook his head.”It’s nothing. Luo Feiyang has already come to A city. He said that he would be Jing Xi’s driver for the rest of his life. He’s always on call!”
