The Young Urban Doctor

After listening to Ouyang Feifei’s explanation, Luo Ziling finally understood the gist.

It turns out that Ouyang Feifei had been suggesting a merger and restructuring between Lingyun Pharmaceutical and Northern Pharmaceuticals to form a single pharmaceutical company.

After restructuring, the business can be divided into two parts, one for Western medicine and one for traditional medicine. However, she worried that the traditional medicine side had too few products, which would hinder business growth.

The few medicines that Luo Ziling has developed could be considered as adding the finishing touch, making the financial statements look good, and showing decent growth in various indicators. But if these products alone were to support a listed company, they might seem too thin.

The products in the Western pharmaceutical industry are rich and very profitable.

For traditional medicine, there aren’t as many newly developed products. If you want to improve quality, the raw materials need to be carefully selected, and the profit margin might not be high.

Ouyang Feifei is very particular about quality, regardless of the industry.

When she discussed with Ling Ruonan about merging the two pharmaceutical companies to form a group company, then splitting the business so that one side handles traditional medicine and the other handles Western medicine, she was concerned that the traditional medicine side might see a decrease in profit growth rate due to the lack of patented products. What Luo Ziling said successfully dispelled her doubts, and she saw that the profit growth rate might be higher than that of Western medicine, so she had no more concerns.

Ling Ruonan did not immediately express her opinion. She asked Luo Ziling his thoughts on a complete merger and restructuring of the two companies, and then dividing the business by the type of medicine.

“I’m only responsible for drug research and development. I can guarantee that we will have a few different types of effective drugs each year, and they can all be patented,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “I think I can ensure profits, but as for how much the profits will be, that’s for you to consider. My plan is that the drugs developed by my lab can only be manufactured by Northern Pharmaceuticals or Lingyun Pharmaceutical. The drugs developed here will also be produced by these two companies.”

“Are you suggesting combining Lingyun Pharmaceutical, Northern Pharmaceuticals, and your lab?” Ling Ruonan caught the underlying meaning of Luo Ziling’s words.

“Is it possible to operate like this?” Luo Ziling asked in return.

“It’s a bit challenging, but not impossible,” Ling Ruonan nodded, “We can introduce state-owned capital to bind the lab with our pharmaceutical firms. However, the lab has just been established, so it’s too early to discuss these things. Since you think the two companies can merge, consider this carefully.” She looked at Luo Ziling, “You were originally responsible for Northern Pharmaceuticals’ business, and although it hasn’t fully started production, you still have to be in charge of specific affairs. Before making a formal decision, think about it carefully. Since your mom handed Northern Pharmaceuticals over to you, you must take responsibility.”

“Does that mean I can decide to merge Northern Pharmaceuticals and Lingyun Pharmaceutical or veto the merger proposal?”

“Yes!” Ling Ruonan nodded solemnly.

Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, knowing he was deliberately trying to assert himself.

“Then I’ll look into this matter carefully,” Luo Ziling smiled at Ouyang Feifei, “This should be a small matter.”

“A project cooperation worth billions, and you call it a small matter?” Ouyang Feifei was a bit displeased.

“Does the big boss of the Ouyang Family also think it’s a big deal?”

Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes again at Luo Ziling, her gaze full of dissatisfaction.

“Mom, maybe Feifei should give me the detailed project plan, and I’ll just read her investigation report,” Luo Ziling decided to stop teasing Ouyang Feifei, “I think you’ve surely discussed such an important matter multiple times, covered all the bases. I’m not familiar with these business cooperations and can only follow your lead.”

“Why don’t you both find an opportunity to discuss these matters thoroughly?” Ling Ruonan perceived that Luo Ziling was just trying to play tricks on Ouyang Feifei, and even though Ouyang Feifei knew it, she wasn’t getting mad.

These two lovably antagonistic individuals were giving her a bit of a headache.

However, she didn’t reject Ouyang Feifei’s proactive goodwill gesture and suggestions for increased cooperation.

After chatting for a while, Ling Ruonan got up, saying she was going for a bath, leaving Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei to chat alone.

“What’s your real purpose in eagerly wanting to merge Lingyun Pharmaceutical and Northern Pharmaceuticals?” After Ling Ruonan left, Luo Ziling asked Ouyang Feifei with interest.

“The Ouyang Family is unfortunately caught up in the strife of you elites, so I can only find a big tree to lean on!” Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling again, “You see, the conflicts among you have affected us. Our political status is low, and if we don’t find support, life will be hard.”

“Then you ought not to find us!” Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei with some surprise, “We’re not much of anything. Your Ouyang Family’s influence exceeds our Luo Family’s considerably. There are bigger and better trees to lean on than us.”

“How could that be?” Ouyang Feifei shook her head, “The only person who can speak up in front of so many big shots is probably you, right? Also, I don’t believe that your Northern Group and Northern Pharmaceuticals won’t bring in other strategic partners. Even a small scale Lingyun Film and Television does so, let alone a more profitable pharmaceutical group.”

“Ouyang Feifei, you really are smart!” Luo Ziling gave a thumbs up to Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei kicked at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling caught her sockless foot, then seized the opportunity to pinch her leg, and only let her go when she cried out in surprise with a red face. He teased, “Kick me again, and I’ll make you lose face!”

Of course, Ouyang Feifei wouldn’t give in to Luo Ziling’s threat, angrily kicking Luo Ziling again.

This time, her leg was caught by Luo Ziling once more.

This time, Luo Ziling didn’t release her immediately but held her leg as he stood up.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t expect Luo Ziling to be such a rogue, daring to flirt with her in the living room, feeling both embarrassed and angry, almost ready to fight him.

Yet, Luo Ziling still didn’t let go of her leg, even pulling it further apart before looking down and laughing, “You’re not even wearing your lacy little underwear.”

Luo Ziling teased her like this, intentionally trying to sneak a peek under her skirt, making Ouyang Feifei furious but also calm down, “Want to see?”

“Yes!” Luo Ziling nodded, “These long beautiful legs with some lacy underwear would be even lovelier.”

“If you want to see, come to my place one day, and I’ll wear it for you.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Ouyang Feifei nodded seriously, then looked at Luo Ziling with disdain, “But I know, you’re just a thief at heart with no courage.”

“What if seeing it makes your chastity go away?”
