Chapter 212 Chatting
At the Tang family’s old residence.
“… That’s all. According to the latest news, after Tang Boyan was treated coldly by the mercenary group, he began to fly into a rage.”
A refined man with gold-framed glasses bowed and said. He looked respectfully at the three people sitting on the stone bench. However, his gaze would land on Lu Ming from time to time. The news that Old Master had taken in a new foster son had long spread in their circle. However, this was the first time he was seeing the real person. He was indeed as outstanding as the rumors said. Not only was he good-looking, but he also had a personality and… foresight.
It did not take long for Lu Ming to get married to the Chu family’s daughter. It was said that the two of them were childhood friends. Outstanding people attracted each other. Now it seemed that this was true.
In addition, Lu Ming Corporation’s recent big move had swept the Tang family into the abyss. Who would not say good things about him?
Upon hearing this, Tang Mingkun let out a hearty laugh and said, “Hahahaha! I haven’t seen that old thing suffer in a long time! If not for the fact that the conditions don’t allow it, I really want to run to the capital to see his expression! He looks down on people all day. Now, someone is finally not buying into his
ways!”
“It’s all thanks to Godfather’s help that this matter developed so smoothly.”
Lu Ming put down the white chess piece in his hand and said helplessly, “Isn’t your strategy too fierce? Don’t forget, I’ve only started learning these few days. Do you have to torture me like this?”
Tang Mingkun did the same thing and said, “Sorry, sorry. Who asked you to be so smart? Initially I wanted to go easy on you, but every time you play chess, you scare an old man like me. Then I instinctively went all out! However, my judgment is indeed correct. You are talented in this area.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “For example, here. If not for the fact that I was quick-witted and ran away quickly, I’m afraid I would have been surrounded by your white stones by now, right? If you were any later, you would have died. And here, if you had placed your stones at 13 goals just now, you would have won this round.”
The game was like a battlefield.
He had to admit that he could tell from playing chess that the other party was a stable player. It was as if everything was under Lu Ming’s control and he would always be calm. If things continued like this, Lu Ming might be able to surpass him in 20 years!
Is this true talent?
He could not help but be envious.
Lu Ming did not know that his adoptive father had such a high evaluation of him. He only felt that this game was very difficult. No matter what he did, the other party would always slip away ahead of time and even counterattack. He was like an old fox.
He sighed softly. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.
Chu Jinyu, who was sitting on the left, looked at the chessboard. There was undisguised confusion in her eyes. She had learned Go with Brother Lu Ming. He could even compete with his adoptive father but she still could not understand the most basics now. She felt sleepy as she played.
At the thought of this, she finished the rest of her tea in one gulp.
“We’ve completely offended the Tang family this time. Everyone in Beijing is laughing at them. I’m sure it won’t be long before the Tang family’s reputation is ruined. What do you plan to do next?”
With Brother Lu Ming’s means, he would definitely get Eye of the Sky to investigate the Tang family. At that time, he would probably be able to find out their dark secrets and deal with them.
Making an enemy of Brother Lu Ming was really the worst decision in Tang Boyan’s life
“Continue to counterattack, of course.”
Lu Ming smiled and said, “Didn’t the Tang family treasure that Gold Mountain oil field back then? Because they harvested it too quickly previously, that place was already empty. The profits were getting worse year by year. I asked them to investigate if this piece of land has any dark history. If they can find evidence…
v
I won’t let the Tang family off.”
He had always believed in taking people’s lives when they were down! This time, he would bite the Tang family hard!
A hint of astonishment flashed in the elegant man’s eyes. How ruthless! He did not expect Young Master Lu Ming to be so crazy deep down!
“Dark history?”
Tang Mingkun said thoughtfully, “I did hear some news. In order to save money, the equipment used in the oil plant was all trash that did not meet required standards. Moreover, the working environment was very poor. There were no safety facilities. Many people lost their limbs because of the machines.
The payment of the workers’ monthly salaries was delayed again and again, and as soon as they were injured, they were fired right away. It was equivalent to doing all the work for nothing. There was no compensation either. Moreover, they were often asked to work overtime without pay. If they wanted to leave, they would be beaten up.”
These words made Chu Jinyu frown. She said, “How could this be working? They were clearly treating these workers as slaves of the Tang family, right? Besides, the Tang family didn’t lack this bit of money. Why would they do such a thing? Weren’t they afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?”
