Chapter 373 Everyone has their own agenda!
When Luo Yun heard Li Yuanchao casually mention that he was going to become the deputy general manager of Zhengrong Group, her heart skipped a beat.
However, she quickly suppressed the shock on her face, replacing it with an expression of admiration and just the right amount of dependence. She leaned closer and softened her voice.
“Yuanchao, you have a long-term vision and a clear understanding. Zhengrong Group sounds like a place where you can make a lot of progress.”
She paused for a few seconds, looking at Li Yuanchao with a hint of embarrassment but also with anticipation.
"Well... once my paperwork is done, could you... arrange for me to be included too?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanchao raised an eyebrow and looked at Luo Yun with some surprise.
"You? You're doing so well as a doctor, I heard you're almost promoted to deputy director of the department, right? That's a secure job with a bright future, something many people envy. What, you don't want to be a nurse anymore?"
Luo Yun chuckled softly, a smile that carried a hint of shrewd insight into reality and undisguised pragmatism.
He then shook his head, his tone crisp and decisive, without the slightest hint of lingering regret.
"What 'angel in white'? It's just a nice-sounding title. Deputy Director? It only sounds good to outsiders."
In reality? The salary, benefits, and allowances are just so-so; you won't starve but you won't be rich either.
Every day I'm dealing with patients and their families, constantly busy, with plenty of backstabbing and infighting, but ultimately, I'm still poor.
She looked intently at Li Yuanchao, laying her cards on the table.
"We can't compare to people like you who make big money in foreign trade."
"As for aiding Korea, to be honest, for me, everything else is meaningless; only what I hold in my hands is real."
As she spoke, her slender fingers made a gesture of twisting coins, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.
Li Yuanchao looked at Luo Yun without a trace of surprise in his eyes. He knew this woman too well. Back when they were all young and rebellious in Beijing, he had dated her for a while, hoping to curry favor with his family. Later, she went to the army, and it was said that in order to get a spot at the military medical university, she got involved with Zhang Jing and successfully obtained the spot.
She had barely stepped onto the campus of the military medical university when she broke up with Zhang Jing. Then she started dating the son of a vice-principal at the university, solely for career advancement. Sure enough, after graduation, she was transferred back to the headquarters hospital in Beijing.
He used the same trick again, and after he was done with her, he dumped the guy from the military medical university and then found the son of a hospital leader.
She dated four or five men in total, and without exception, none of them ended well.
Calling her a 'husband-killer' is no exaggeration!
Now it's his turn, but he's not afraid of repeating the mistakes of those before him. The woman who can toy with Li Yuanchao's manipulative skills isn't even born yet.
Moreover, instead of finding Luo Yun snobbish, he admired her unpretentious honesty and clear-headed realism.
In the past, the women around him were either those who were attracted to his family background and pretended to be aloof, or those who were naive and knew nothing. But Luo Yun, who was both beautiful and intelligent, had clear goals and dared to pursue her interests, made him feel less tired in her company and even somewhat compatible.
People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill; isn't it all for profit, money, and power?
At least in this respect, they are in the same boat!
After a brief moment's hesitation, he readily agreed.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll arrange it for you once I've established myself over there. There are quite a few positions suitable for women in foreign trade companies, and with your intelligence, you'll definitely do well."
He agreed so readily not only because Luo Yun was his current girlfriend, but more importantly, because this woman did have some value to him, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
Although Luo Yun's father was only a division-level officer, and his family's influence couldn't compare, he had cultivated deep roots in the military system for many years and had a number of protégés and old friends.
In trade, especially in areas involving import/export, permits, and transportation, it all boils down to connections. Personal networks are resources, and connections are money.
Getting Luo Yun in is like binding her family's potential connections to your cause—it's a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it.
It also helps you do someone a favor!
"Really? That's wonderful! Yuanchao, thank you!"
Luo Yun's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, tinged with just the right amount of admiration.
"I knew it! You're the most capable one!"
Li Yuanchao enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon and worshipped, his vanity was satisfied, and the frustration he felt earlier because of Zhong Yuemin dissipated considerably.
His right hand touched Luo Yun's smooth, soft, boneless hand, his eyes filled with eagerness.
"You're my boyfriend, saying this is pointless!"
Luo Yun didn't pull back, letting him knead her. Seeing that the woman didn't refuse, Li Yuanchao became bolder, wrapping one arm around her slender waist and pulling her into his arms. Feeling the soft, full, and firm pressure of her breasts... he felt a surge of desire and grabbed them hard...
Luo Yun gave a gentle reminder, a blush creeping onto her alluring face, and spoke with a reproachful tone.
"Stop messing around, it's broad daylight, I'm on night shift tonight!"
The two had already seamlessly connected countless times before, in the ward, the corridor, the office...
Li Yuanchao suppressed his 'fire', but couldn't resist giving her a hard squeeze before letting go, whispering in her ear.
"Fine, I'll deal with you properly tonight!"
