The announcement of Ling Ruonan's new position was issued a day before the order for Luo Xusheng to take over Dragon Rise.

Ling Ruonan's appointment had long been settled; it was just not clear when the announcement would be made.

Since the outcome was already known and Ling Ruonan wasn't too eager about it, she didn't feel much excitement when the news was announced.

"Mom, you're now truly a senior official," Luo Ziling teased Ling Ruonan upon hearing the news. "From now on, I'm also the child of a senior official, a genuine second-generation official. Let's see who dares to bully me now!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ling Ruonan tapped Luo Ziling's head with a bit of annoyance and informed him that with her new additional duties, she would be even busier in the future.

"Mom, does that mean you're not considering the idea of a second child anymore?" Luo Ziling detected another unspoken implication.

"Not considering it," Ling Ruonan's cheeks flushed slightly. "At my age, having a second child would just be laughable."

"But I'd like to have a little brother or sister."

"Don't you already have a sister?"

"That's not the same!" Luo Ziling shook his head. "I like playing with little kids."

"Then you should hurry up and find someone to marry and have one yourself." Ling Ruonan's words successfully shut Luo Ziling up.

The next day, after the news came out appointing Luo Xusheng as the head of Dragon Rise, Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling, and Luo Xusheng were all very excited.

In the evening, Ling Ruonan even cooked a great meal to celebrate.

While they were having dinner, Luo Xusheng called Ling Ruonan to say that he had received the order.

However, he wouldn't immediately take up his duties in the Capital because some things there were not yet settled, and his successor had not been arranged. Therefore, he couldn't leave immediately.

Ling Ruonan understood Luo Xusheng's intentions in making these arrangements; he wanted to handle things more perfectly.

Thus, she expressed no dissatisfaction and merely encouraged Luo Xusheng to arrange everything properly and avoid any problems.

"Things are pretty good," Luo Liansheng was quite satisfied with the outcome of this struggle.

For him, no official position or promotion was too important; what mattered was the reunion of his son's family, which was the best thing. A twenty-year expectation was about to be realized. What could be happier than that?

Happy, he drank a lot of wine with Luo Ziling, and as he drank more, he also spoke more.

He urged Ling Ruonan to hasten the wedding, saying that Huaxia people value ceremonies; once a ceremony is held, everything feels complete. He also urged Luo Ziling to help his parents quickly arrange the wedding.

Luo Ziling had mentioned several times that he wanted to personally officiate the wedding for Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng, and Luo Liansheng kept those words in mind.

Luo Ziling naturally agreed repeatedly, saying he would organize a Chinese-style, very romantic, and sensational wedding for Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng.

Ling Ruonan was quite shy. Although she was inwardly looking forward to this long-overdue wedding, she was too embarrassed to say it to Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng. She just said that everything would wait until Luo Xusheng came to Yanjing.

Even though this struggle clothed some people in wedding attire, the outcome he achieved was still pretty good, and Luo Ziling was relatively satisfied.

He was quite satisfied that his father, Luo Xusheng, was appointed the head of Dragon Rise.

After Luo Xusheng's appointment was announced, Ling Mingrui shared some insider stories with Ling Ruonan.

Initially, Chen Ruchang from the Chen Family adamantly opposed Luo Xusheng's appointment as the head of Dragon Rise and even questioned Ling Mingrui on the spot, asking if he wanted to turn Dragon Rise into his private army.

Everyone knew that Li Haiyang was someone Ling Mingrui had promoted, and after Li Haiyang became paralyzed, many people wanted to oust him and have someone else take his place. However, Ling Mingrui was adamant, saying that Li Haiyang still had a chance to heal, and since he got injured while building Dragon Rise, it wouldn't be humane to oust him after his injury.

With Ling Mingrui's support and Li Haiyang's high prestige, no one replaced Dragon Rise's leadership position.

Chen Ruchang was eager to arrange one of his confidants into the position and did a lot of work towards this, even going so far as to publicly quarrel with Ling Mingrui. But due to the influence of the incidents involving Chen Yijing and Chen Yining, he failed in his struggle with Ling Mingrui.

The military department issued an order appointing Luo Xusheng as the head of Dragon Rise.

Ling Mingrui spoke quite lightly about it, but Ling Ruonan understood the intensity of the struggle involved and was very grateful for her father's efforts on this matter.

Although she understood that her father's actions were also for his interests, she was grateful to Ling Mingrui for the opportunity for Luo Xusheng to come to the Capital, allowing their family to reunite.

Luo Ziling also gained some benefits.

In late March, a decision was made to establish a traditional medicine major at Yan University Medical School.

The Health and Family Planning Commission and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau simultaneously issued a document setting up a national laboratory for traditional medicine at Yan University Medical School and, together with educational departments, issued a document establishing a traditional medicine major at Yan University. The traditional medicine major would start enrolling students next semester. It initially consisted of three categories: Acupuncture Studies undergraduate, Chinese Pharmacy undergraduate, and Clinical Traditional Chinese Medicine undergraduate.

Many people were disappointed that the expected Clinical Chinese and Western Medicine major wasn't established.

The traditional medicine majors are generally not placed alongside modern medicine, so most traditional medicine specialties are set up in specialized universities or colleges.

It is quite rare for Chinese and Western medicine majors to be placed together as at Yan University Medical School.

When this decision was announced, it generated some social repercussions.

There was significant opposition and criticism, especially from other Traditional Chinese Medicine universities or colleges.

The experts in traditional medicine that Luo Ziling had recruited, many of whom were visiting professors, would lecture at their schools, but after establishing traditional medicine majors at Yan University Medical School, these visiting professors would all teach full-time at Yan University. Naturally, this drew complaints.

However, under administrative arrangements, their protests had little effect, allowing the three traditional medicine majors at Yan University Medical School to be swiftly established.

Renowned traditional medicine expert Wu Sanmin, who had an encounter with Luo Ziling at the traditional medicine annual conference, was appointed as the deputy dean responsible for the traditional medicine major. The members of the traditional medicine major's preparatory committee included: traditional medicine expert Guo Chuncheng, Dong's Mysterious Acupoints heir Dong Qichang, Thirteen Needles of Guimen heir Wang Xuyun, Three Talents Needle Skill heir Cheng Bushi, Fire Needle heir He Yan, and TCM specialist Gu Jian'an, and also included Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling, the grandfather-grandson pair.

These individuals are all top figures in traditional medicine, renowned in the traditional medicine field.

Once the preparatory committee members were announced, it caused a sensation.

Many people predicted that the traditional medicine major at Yan University Medical School would soon surpass other well-established traditional medicine universities in terms of strength.

However, Luo Ziling was not directly involved in the preparation for the establishment of the traditional medicine major and the national laboratory because he had been assigned another important task.

He was to accompany Ling Jinhua on a trip to the South.
