Chapter 281: I Will Be The King Here...

Ming Industries was older and it was equally powerful as it Lu corporations. Both companies never participated in the same business project bidding. They never tried to cross each other's sectors and path and it was the unsaid rule from both sides.

Ming Rusheng understood his father and why he suddenly wanted him to focus on the business. Ming Rusheng was happy as he had the same goal. He wanted to be a more successful and powerful person than Lu Qiang.

"I know father what you are thinking and trust me from now on I am going to do my best that I never did before," Ming Rusheng replied with the determination to do something this time.

Ming Yusheng was happy to hear it and said calmly, "That's like my son."

Ming Rusheng had serious expressions on his face and was thinking what to do next just then Ming Yusheng spoke again, "But, you have to keep one thing in your mind."

Ming Rusheng looked at his father with a questioning gaze and asked, "And what is that father?"

"There are few rules we follow diligently in Ming Industries and one of them is not to cross paths with Lu Corporation and not to have any kind of business relations with them," Ming Yusheng replied.

"I don't want to have any kind of relationship with any Lu or the Lu Corporation," Ming Rusheng replied.

"That's good to....."

"But about crossing the path, it might happen, father because to get the success you have to overtake someone and Right Now Lu Corporation is the only thing I can see ahead of us." Ming Rusheng spoke even before his father could show how glad he was to hear his son's previous words.

Hearing it Ming Yusheng was not happy and warned his son, "No Ming Rusheng! This is the unsaid rule and we, I mean Mings and Lus are following them for more than the last two decades. We don't want any kind of relationship with them, not even a rivalry."

"But Father..."

"No more word Ming Rusheng. In this case, I won't listen to you because this is the only way to maintain peace between two families and I don't want us to do anything to disturb that peace." Ming Yusheng was firm on his decision to follow what he was doing for so many years.

Ming Rusheng gave out a deep sigh and said, "Hmm! Okay, father!"

Ming Rusheng didn't want to argue with his father knowing that it was not possible to convince him or his grandfather. He just decided to do things according to his father's wish for now and to wait for the future to do what he wanted.

When Ming Rusheng was thinking about it, his father spoke again. "I can understand you Ming Rusheng as I was just like you when we had a conflict with Lus but I respected my father's wish and stopped myself.

Ming Yusheng then paused and came out of his thoughts to look at his son and said as he was warning him again, "I wish you to do the same, Ming Rusheng."

Ming Rusheng looked at his father as the first time he was speaking something related to the past. He nodded to what his father asked him to do and replied, "Yes, Father."

Hearing 'yes' from his son, Ming Yusheng continued and said, "My father hates Lus but he won't ever want to have any conflicts with them or hurt them. He won't be happy if we did something and affect Lu Corporation so he separated his path from theirs to not cross it again. Somewhere father still missed his friend elder Lu Huan."

Ming Rusheng was listening to his father and said, "But the friendship was between elders and the hate too belongs to them. We can just do the business what we should do even if we cross the path with them."

"I understand your point Ming Rusheng but still my answer is 'No' because my father's wish is more important for me than anything."

Ming Yusheng respected and loved his father as the elder Ming Shihong was a great person as well a very good father. He was already hurt because of his daughter's death and even after the two decades of her death, he was not able to come out of it. Since that day, the elder Ming locked his soul somewhere inside and he looked like he was alive just for the sake of living.

Ming Yusheng missed his fun-loving and always laughing father. Whatever he tried he was not able to make his father like before so he decided, if he can't make his father happy then he won't ever make him sad and he always tried to be a filial and obedient son.

Ming Rusheng was aware of how his father felt like when it came to his grandfather. "I know father and for me, grandpa's wish is important too so rest assured for now but in future, I can't guarantee you."

Hearing it, Ming Yusheng tried to warn his son again and said, "I hope you will keep business things limited to business only and you won't take it to personal matters."

"I will keep it in mind father," Ming Rusheng replied to assure his father but he had his own plans in his mind that he wanted to start working on as soon as possible.

Excusing himself, Ming Rusheng went to his own office which was on the top floor of the building and it was reserved for only him. getting out of the lift on the top floor, the receptionist there greeted them. though he didn't visit the office often, it was maintained as if he came there daily.

instead of his office, Ming Rusheng went at the end of the corridor of the floor. He stood in the huge gallery at the end with his hands tucked in his pants pocket. From there he could see the whole city under his nose.

Looking at the view of the whole city and feeling the cold breeze against his face, Ming Rusheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Soon I will be the King here."
