The next morning, after getting up, Luo Ziling ran to the school.

After running two more laps around the track, he met Luo Yuqing who also came for a morning workout. The siblings ran ten more laps together until more people started exercising, then they ended their morning run.

While running, Luo Yuqing asked Luo Ziling to treat her to breakfast later, and Luo Ziling readily agreed.

After taking a shower in the dormitory and changing clothes, Luo Ziling called Luo Yuqing, telling her he would go to the cafeteria first and she could join him later.

As a result, Luo Yuqing scolded him, saying that he was so stingy, he wouldn't even take her out for breakfast.

"The school cafeteria is full of pretty girls. I want to check them out, so let's eat breakfast there!" Luo Ziling didn't mind at all, responding with a cheeky grin.

Luo Ziling went back to shower, waking up the other three guys who liked to sleep in.

But before they got out of bed, Luo Ziling was already out in a flash.

"The shooting continues tomorrow," Luo Yuqing said while eating breakfast with Luo Ziling, discussing the plans for shooting a public service ad, "The scenes we shot last time all got approved. Apparently, our natural acting was quite well-received."

"It's because we're so good-looking," Luo Ziling boasted proudly, "People like us don't need acting skills, just showing our faces will be enough to gain fans."

"Stop bragging," Luo Yuqing eyed Luo Ziling with disdain, "How can anyone be as vain as you? It's like you can't live without bragging every day."

"It's normal for a man to show off in front of a beautiful woman!" Luo Ziling said with a proud expression, "Besides, I wasn't bragging, I was just stating the facts."

"I can't stand you," Luo Yuqing said with disdain, "When I saw those forum posts admiring you, those brainless girls expressing their love for you, I felt so nauseated."

"You're just jealous!"

"I am not jealous!"

"Alright, alright, don't be jealous for no reason. You're my sister, you're not qualified to be jealous!" Luo Ziling picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into Luo Yuqing's mouth, snapping, "If you want to talk, just talk properly."

Luo Yuqing was just about to fight back, but was caught off guard when Luo Ziling stuffed a dumpling into her mouth, nearly choking her.

After forcefully swallowing the dumpling, she couldn't help but stand up to punch Luo Ziling.

Seeing many students looking at them and some even taking photos, she suppressed her anger.

"Come with me to meet Cheng Binbin, Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing at noon." Luo Yuqing said angrily, "I want these celebrities under my supervision."

"Why?"

"I don't like them." Luo Yuqing gave Luo Ziling a glare, "They dared to show you affection in front of others. If we weren't around, who knows if they'd throw themselves at you. Let me warn you, you better not use your influence on them. I know they'd be very willing, but if you did, you'd be at their mercy. They're all dreaming of marrying into wealth, and they have many fans, you must be aware of the consequences."

"I don't even dare to mess with innocent maidens, why would I be bothered with women who've had many entanglements before?" Luo Ziling looked at Luo Yuqing in surprise, not understanding why she'd be so jealous, "You're overthinking it. I'm not in heat, I don't feel the urge to throw any woman I meet onto the bed."

Luo Yuqing blushed, though annoyed by Luo Ziling's bluntness, she felt relieved that Luo Ziling wasn't interested in those attractive, well-known, and popular female stars.

"They're our cash cows, so we have to be firm yet gentle, and let them unleash their full potential." Luo Ziling chuckled, "Get them more good gigs, protect them, so they're not easily taken advantage of. I think, when their status rises, no one will dare bully them, and they'll be even more willing to work hard for us."

"Aren't you afraid they'll have ulterior motives and cling to you?"

"Don't be so naive!" Luo Ziling tapped Luo Yuqing's head with his chopsticks, "I know how to handle them."

"They'll definitely seek you out alone!"

"I'd be happy if they did." Luo Ziling chuckled, "A little hope for them isn't a bad thing."

"Huh, do you think your charm is that powerful?"

Luo Ziling ignored Luo Yuqing and continued drinking his porridge.

Luo Yuqing thought for a moment, realizing she might be over-managing and didn't say anything further.

She also agreed not to pursue the three women that afternoon, leaving it for another time.

During the third class in the morning, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan.

On the phone, Ling Ruonan said, early that morning, the foreign affairs department contacted her assistant Wuyue. They said that Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi simultaneously informed them that they would no longer pursue the matter of their grandson losing freedom. It turned out they made a mistake, their grandson was just in closed training, was not in any danger, and no one was threatening them.

Later, Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi contacted Wuyue, saying they had plenty of time and were in no rush to meet Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling. They planned to stay in the Capital for a few more days and would get back in touch when Ling Ruonan or Luo Ziling was available to discuss further cooperation.

"What did you do last night?" Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling quietly after explaining the situation.

After seeing Ling Ruonan's call, Luo Ziling immediately went to a concealed place to answer it. When she asked, Luo Ziling didn't reveal anything, just giggled lightly, "Maybe they realized something after encountering some trouble."

Ling Ruonan understood what Luo Ziling was insinuating and asked no further questions.

"Then set a time to meet with them. Things always need to be resolved, and having a solution favorable to us is enough!"

"Mom, let's decide on a time to talk when they contact us again. We're busy these days anyway!"

"Alright!" Ling Ruonan didn't comment on Luo Ziling's suggestion and agreed to his arrangement, "You've really gotten more reliable in handling things."

"Mom, praise me more, so I'll get even better!"

"Stop being cheeky, just help Yuqing finish that public service ad first," Ling Ruonan reminded lightly as if she thought of something suddenly, "Also, find a way to let Yuqing control the whole company. If you have the capability, slowly reduce the influence of Ouyang Feifei and Fang Dongxun, and eventually take total control of the company."

"I humbly obey the empress's command!" Luo Ziling joked.

The result was naturally Ling Ruonan's playful scolding.

After hanging up Ling Ruonan's call, Luo Ziling fell into contemplation.

He quickly reached a conclusion that things were getting more and more interesting.
