He quite liked this young man. He was in his early twenties and had such achievements and temperament. He was quite looking forward to how many surprises he would bring him. However, although he really liked to play chess, he did not like to take up other people’s private time. He was just an ordinary person and had no right to do so.

Perhaps this was what it meant to go from ordinary to ordinary.

Tang Mingkun replied, “Coincidentally, he’s free for the next few days. If you call him over after that, he will probably be too busy to come. You timed it well. How about it? You should have no worries now, right? He would also want to play chess with you.”

His godson would be more than happy to have a chance to gain the favor of the old leader!

As soon as he finished speaking, the old leader revealed an excited expression like a child. He said, “That’s great! I’m certain that Lu Ming’s chess skills are top-notch even in the world! Not to mention in the country. If the outside world finds out about this, those people will definitely be shocked. He’s simply a worthy genius!”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Those people often say that there are no good chess players in China. I don’t think so! Even if he fights with Garikasparov, the world champion, I don’t think Little Ming will lose the competition. They might even tie! I’m so lucky to be able to compete with such a young man!”

In his opinion, Lu Ming was destined to be the shining star of this era! Be it ability, talent, or personality, this person could reach an outstanding level. Just these alone were enough for Lu Ming to stand at the top of the pyramid. With such a junior in China, why should he worry about the future?

How many years had it been? Just when he was about to give up hope, the new-age sailboat he had been looking forward to finally arrived?

He placed the black chess piece in the enemy king’s position and said, “Checkmate! In fact, after playing a few rounds with Little Ming, I found someone to restore the chess record. I specially calmed down and studied it for a long time. I more or less know his style. I even learned a few new moves from it. I’m a little more confident that I can defeat him next time!

But when can I see him again? I don’t even know what excuse to use to invite him over. In addition, my hands are getting more and more itchy as the days pass. I really couldn’t take it anymore, so I called you over. If only Little Ming is my son, then I can play chess any time.”

Tang Mingkun was speechless.

The first few words were normal, but why did they become more and more ridiculous? Why do these people want to snatch my godson? Don’t they have their own sons? He couldn’t help but sigh. Little Ming is really popular! If others knew what he was thinking, they would definitely say that they did have children, but they were not as outstanding as Lu Ming!

With a genius son around, how proud would he be if word got out? He wouldn’t have to worry about him being useless in the future! Even if the family business was handed over to him, he could completely manage it! It was rare to see such a junior in decades, but such a talent was taken away by Tang Mingkun!

Those who did not know were envious that Lu Ming could find the Tang family as his backer. Those who knew better were envious that the Tang family could have Lu Ming.

“You just have to say a word and countless people will be willing to come and be your son. Little Ming is already mine.”

Last time, it was a joke. This time, he said the same thing. Would it still be a joke?

As a good friend of the old leader, Tang Mingkun realized that he was a little serious. However, it was normal. Since Little Ming was so outstanding, it was reasonable for others to be envious. However… Was this the problem with his godson being too outstanding? There were always people who wanted to snatch his son away.

“They’re different from Little Ming.”

The old leader shook his head and laughed. “I think your luck is all used to meet Little Ming, right? If I had known that such a genius had appeared in the country, I would have gone to Shanghai a few more times. I might have been able to take him away before you. Then those guys from the official department won’t be acting pitiful in front of me all day, complaining that they have no successor.”

They?

Tang Mingkun instantly thought of those faces. He had come into contact with them before. Although they were unreachable big shots in the eyes of the outside world, if he hadn’t seen them ride on their old leader’s coattails and refuse to let go, he would probably have been deceived too.

“That’s right. The government sector is very short of people now, especially someone like Little Ming. With his talent, I think he will be promoted and get a raise in a few years. Perhaps I can even see him move step by step to the position of department manager! I hope you can consider this matter. It would be even better if you can help me persuade him.”

The old leader picked up his teacup and took a few slow sips before speaking.

Tang Mingkun looked at the chessboard and then at his friend. “I’ll think about it again. The government sector is good, but there are too many rules. In addition, Little Ming still has to deal with Lu Ming Corporation’s matters. I don’t think he has time to do anything else. However, this matter is not urgent for the time being. Let’s take it one step at a time.”

“Alright, that’s all for today. I’ll wait for you guys to come over tomorrow.”



The next day.

Lu Ming woke up early again. After a simple packing, he followed his godfather to the same courtyard. However, this time, he changed his clothes into a white short-sleeved shirt with blue stripes. Coupled with light-colored shorts, he looked exceptionally handsome. His smiling eyes curved into crescents, adding a lot of charm and gentleness to him.

It was as if one would drown in his charm.

After knowing that the old leader wanted to play chess with him, he agreed decisively without thinking. Perhaps… he would soon ask for the old leader’s help. When he thought of his subsequent plan, if the other party did not make a move, it would probably cause him a lot of trouble.

Just as he was deep in thought, the two of them already arrived at the same big tree. The old leader was wearing a white T-shirt and common pants, and he was holding a cheap fan in his hand. If he were to hold a birdcage, he would look just like one of those old men taking a walk in the park!

When he saw Lu Ming, his eyes immediately lit up. He said with a smile, “You’re finally here. The weather is quite cool today. I think we’ll definitely be able to play a game that will satisfy us, right? But before that, let’s have breakfast first. I specially asked Auntie to prepare a few new dishes. Come and try them!”
