Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 379 Trying To Manipulate...

In the evening, at one of the luxurious and famous hotels in the city.

The hall was full of all the famous and powerful businessmen in the country. It was the time of the annual gathering of people in the business world where already established businessmen used to get a chance to meet each other while those are rising ones had a chance to learn and to get guidance from those already successful people.

Though everyone was present, it was not complete without the presence of President of the Lu Corporation. The previous day, Lu Qiang didn't attend it but it was the second and last day of the gathering and most of the people there were expecting him to show up except for few people like Xi Cheng and Zhang Wei.

Almost everyone was present and waiting for Lu Qiang as they got the news that he was going to show up there. Soon Lu Qiang's car reached the venue and the security guard there opened the door of the car for him. Lu Qiang stepped out of the car. He was wearing a black suit like always but still, he looked like a different person. He stepped towards the hall with Xiao Min following him. As he reached inside, everyone looked at him and welcomed him.

Xi Cheng was sitting with Zhang Wei and both didn't look happy. There was no expression on Zhang Wei's face while Xi Chang had his usual fake smile. Ming Rusheng was there too with his father sitting around the circular table talking to a few close business friends. It was the first time that Ming Rusheng came to such gathering as he decided to lead the Ming family business.

This time, Ming Rusheng looked like a different person, serious and focused on what he was there for. In his grey suit, he was looking handsome and he was the center of attraction for the women around but seeing his cold expressions, no one dared to approach him.

Other than Lu Qiang, he was the person who held the interest of the business world. Being the heir of one of the powerful business families, Ming Rushen was known to everyone so it was not hard for him to get along with all those people. They knew, after Lu Qiang, Ming Rusheng was going to be the one more powerful person and he could be the one to give a tough fight to Lu Qiang so most of the businessmen tried to be in his good sight.

When Lu Qiang was busy talking to others, Xi Cheng went to Ming Rusheng with Zhang Wei as Ming Yusheng was busy talking to his friends from the business circle.

Sitting in a chair opposite to Ming Rusheng across the circular table holding a glass of wine in his hands, Xi Cheng spoke, "Good to see you here as finally, you have decided to lead the family business."

"Hmm!" Ming Rusheng didn't say much as it was clear from his face that he was not happy to see Xi Cheng there but he was the friend of his favorite uncle so he decided to tolerate him. He just continued drinking the wine.

Seeing him not talking much, Xi Cheng spoke again, "Hope to work together in the future just like your uncle and I are doing."

Ming Rusheng just nodded as he was not interested. Zhang Wei spoke, "Ming Rusheng is going to be the best one here soon and he is going to rule here."

"I wish the same but as long as that one person is here, it seems difficult. I wish to get him down as soon as possible," Xi Cheng said, signaling towards Lu Qiang.

"Not possible by the person like you." Ming Rusheng who was sitting quietly till now finally spoke.

"I know but if we join hands, it's possible." Xi Cheng showed his intention to get Ming Rusheng on his side. Xi Cheng decided to use Ming Rusheng against Lu Qiang and he was waiting for Ming Rusheng to jump in the business world.

Just like everyone, Xi Cheng was aware that there can only be a rivalry between Lus and Mings. Though until now, both sides maintained distance from each other and never crossed the paths, Ming Rusheng was young boiling blood and it was easy to manipulate and Xi Cheng was determined to do so.

"To Take him down, I don't need to join hands with scum like you. I can do it alone," Ming Rusheng said straight looking into Xi Cheng's eyes.

Hearing it, Xi cheng's expressions changed but he managed to hold his smile and said, "I know you are capable but one always needs more people and more ideas when it comes to dealing with a person like Lu Qiang.

"The idea huh? I can only see what will come from your rotten brain, the idea to do what you did with your stepbrother." This time Ming Rusheng had been hit where it could hurt Xi Cheng more.

Losing the calm, Xi Cheng spoke, "Every person desires for something that he doesn't want to let go at any cost and I will wait for the day when you will face the same."

"Even if the day will come, I won't fall down as low as you did," Ming Rusheng said mockingly.

Xi Cheng controlled his anger and tried to be calm as he knew, Ming Rusheng was the person, he will need in the future and he couldn't afford to get on his bad side for the things happened in the past.

"Well, I wish you to not be like me at all. We can at least do the business together that can benefit us. Isn't it wrong decision to let affect the future because of a few things in the past."

Before Ming Rusheng could say anything, Zhang Wei spoke, "Xi Cheng is right, Ming Rusheng. What you said is his personal matter and we should not bother with it. You just focus on what you had decided months back."
