The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 616: Chapter 616 Who is the Red Flower, Who is the Green Leaf

Thankfully, Ouyang Feifei solved this problem for Luo Ziling. Upon hearing that Wu Mingyun was planning to take him along, Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to contact Wu Mingyun, and arranged for him to ride in her car there as well.

Receiving an invitation from such a great beauty, Wu Mingyun felt somewhat flattered, and he ultimately agreed readily.

And so, Luo Ziling went to the conference site together with Wu Mingyun and one of his assistants, accompanied by Ouyang Feifei.

Luo Ziling and Wu Mingyun got into Ouyang Feifei’s luxurious Rolls-Royce, while Wu Mingyun’s assistant took another car.

Since they had met at a cocktail party last time, and with Wu Mingyun having spent many years in the system, he was very skilled at socializing. As soon as he got in the car, he enthusiastically started conversing with Ouyang Feifei.

However, Ouyang Feifei was not very enthusiastic towards him, mostly just responding to Wu Mingyun’s questions, her face devoid of smiles and looking quite indifferent. This made Wu Mingyun feel slightly awkward, but he knew that Ouyang Feifei had always been this way, otherwise she wouldn’t have become so famous, so he didn’t mind much.

Yanjing’s Number One Beauty, one of the Yanjing Beauties, a woman with such a glamorous reputation wouldn’t be so approachable if she were like the girl next door—that would be too unrealistic.

But to Wu Mingyun’s surprise, Ouyang Feifei was quite special towards Luo Ziling. Along the way, she actually took the initiative to ask Ziling if he was going to lecture that day, and if so, what he was planning to talk about. Earlier, when chatting with Ouyang Feifei, it was mostly him initiating the topics, but when Ouyang Feifei spoke with Luo Ziling, she was the one who actively inquired. He realized that there was something extraordinary about Luo Ziling’s relationship with Ouyang Feifei.

What that extraordinary thing was, he didn’t quite feel right prying into.

When they arrived at the hotel where the academic event was taking place, Luo Ziling and Wu Mingyun followed Ouyang Feifei into the lobby like two attendants.

Today, Ouyang Feifei was wearing a crisp professional suit, with a small lapel blazer and straight-leg trousers, a stand-collar white shirt, and her hair was neatly coiffed atop her head, radiating beauty and intellect, drawing everyone’s gaze to her.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei looked quite matching walking together. The slightly older Wu Mingyun felt he had made a mistake by walking alongside this golden boy and jade girl. By joining them, he lost status, becoming merely an accessory.

When Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei walked into the venue, all eyes turned towards them, and the room fell into an instant silence, no one speaking anymore. Everyone’s astonished gazes focused on them, and Luo Ziling felt a bit uneasy, but Ouyang Feifei showed no signs of discomfort, calmly finding a seat in the front row and settling down.

Unable to withstand her aura, those sitting nearby made excuses to stand up and move to other nearby seats.

In just a moment, the seats beside and behind Ouyang Feifei were empty.

After hesitating briefly, Luo Ziling still chose to sit by her side.

After sitting down, he smiled and said, “Miss Ouyang, as soon as you enter, you undoubtedly become the star of the show, and everyone else becomes part of your backdrop. The speakers might even be too distracted to focus. Should we move to the back instead?”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at Luo Ziling, her eyes holding a strange expression, but she didn’t accept his suggestion. After a faint smile, she shook her head, “No need, this spot is quite good.”

Seeing that Ouyang Feifei didn’t accept his suggestion, Luo Ziling gave up.

“Ah, sitting next to you, I can only be the inconspicuous greenery in the background,” he sighed helplessly.

“Today I’ll be your greenery, how about that?” Ouyang Feifei said, giving Luo Ziling a sidelong glance as she spoke.

At that moment, Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun, who had been lagging a few steps behind, walked towards them as they entered the venue.

Luo Ziling quickly got up to greet them and invited the two medical authorities to sit down.

“Ziling, you didn’t prepare a speech or a PPT?” Li Mingxun asked Luo Ziling with some surprise. After receiving a clear answer, he said with a hint of astonishment, “You were told at the cocktail party the other day; I thought you would have prepared something. Today, we have arranged for you to speak on stage for half an hour, what is your plan?”

Li Mingxun was the host of the academic event that afternoon. Originally, he had planned for Luo Ziling to give a lecture or teach a class on Huaxia traditional medicine after the other speakers had finished. However, he did not expect Luo Ziling to come unprepared with neither a PPT nor a speech, which made him a bit anxious.

“It’s okay, I can improvise on the spot. Everything is stored up here,” Luo Ziling said, smiling as he pointed to his head. “I also know that most of the scholars attending this academic event are involved in the study of Western medicine and have limited understanding of traditional medicine. If I delve into the details of traditional medicine, they might not be receptive, so I’ll talk about the inheritance and development of traditional medicine. Of course, many of the ideas have been passed down to me by my grandfather, and I believe my grandfather’s views won’t disappoint everyone.”

“I believe you’ll definitely surprise everyone,” Ouyang Feifei chimed in after Luo Ziling finished, looking at him earnestly as she spoke. “You keep bringing surprises, and I will applaud for you later.”

Hearing what Ouyang Feifei had said, Li Mingxun felt there wasn’t much more to say. In the end, he simply asked that after the other lectures were over, Luo Ziling should come up and discuss the relevance of research between traditional and modern medicine.

At precisely one o’clock in the afternoon, Li Mingxun, serving as the guest host, announced the start of the academic event.

At the beginning of the event, Li Mingxun introduced Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling to the attendees.

During the cocktail party the other day, Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling had already become the focal point of the entire gathering, although most people didn’t have the chance to approach them. Many were not very clear about Ouyang Feifei’s specific identity until Li Mingxun introduced her today.

When Ouyang Feifei stood up and nodded to the room, many let out gasps of admiration.

This woman was so beautiful, so noble. What was even more shocking was that such a young and attractive girl was actually at the helm of a huge business empire; how could it not be surprising?

As for Luo Ziling, they weren’t particularly interested. Though this young man was very handsome and Li Mingxun mentioned that he was an elite with significant research in traditional medicine, everyone thought that this dashing man must be Ouyang Feifei’s boyfriend. Their presence at the academic conference was merely to mingle with the medical authorities present, and as for their motives, that was not of their concern.

However, many still hoped to get close to Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling, perhaps it could change their lives?

They had the technical expertise and many aspired to climb higher, seeking greater income and status. A person like Ouyang Feifei could offer them these opportunities, so many were keen to get acquainted.

Nobody expected, though, that today Ouyang Feifei would only be an observer and would not take a stand on anything. The one to stun the crowd turned out to be Luo Ziling, whom they had underestimated.
