666 Father and Son Conversation
After that, no one else came to look for trouble. Chu Ning and Yan Shen entered the cruise ship without any hiccups.
As soon as they entered, a waiter brought them to their rooms. As the waiter led the way, he explained the situation inside the cruise ship. “Young Master Yan, Ms. Chu, the rooms are randomly assigned this time. But don’t worry, we have sufficient rooms. If you don’t like them, we can change them.”
Along the way Chu Ning saw many young people in their twenties; even those above thirty were few and far between.
On the way, the waiter briefly introduced the functional areas they passed and said very considerately, “You don’t have to worry about losing your way. There will be waiters every few meters. If you need anything, just call out to them. Every waiter is extremely familiar with all areas of the cruise ship.”
After walking for a few minutes, he finally brought Chu Ning and Yan Shen to the doors of their rooms. Their rooms were adjacent to each other, and the decor inside was similar.
After repeatedly confirming that Chu Ning and Yan Shen had no objections and were very satisfied, the waiter smiled and said, “There will be a banquet at eight o’clock tonight. The main purpose is to let all the guests get to know each other. I hope that the two of you can attend and have a good time.” With that, he left.
There were still a few hours before the banquet; Chu Ning and Yan Shen decided that they could rest for a while and then attend the banquet at eight o’clock.
After making up their minds, the pair returned to their rooms and closed the doors.
In a luxurious suite on the top floor of the cruise ship, a middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting on a chair in the balcony. He was holding a glass of red wine in his hand as he looked in silence at the seagulls flying above the sea. The young man standing behind him was none other than Su Ming.
Su Ming lowered his head and looked slightly uneasy. “Dad, what is the Lu family’s intention? Are they trying to fight to the death with us?”
Su Kun took a sip of the red wine and furrowed his brows. “I’m still not used to drinking this stuff.” Putting down the glass of red wine, Su Kun glanced at his son and beckoned him over to sit down. “Xiao Ming, I didn’t send you out to study for so many years and make the family business so big just to make you so cautious and fearful.”
Looking at his son’s face that was 50 – 60% similar to his, Su Kun said earnestly, “No matter how arrogant the Lu family is, they’re still just businessmen. It’s been three generations since their family had a descendant who went into politics. This generation doesn’t even have an heir who can maintain their achievements. Therefore, they’re anxious. They don’t want their hundred years of glory to decline or even end.”
Su Kun took some bread from the table and raised his arm high. He watched the seagulls fly over to fight for food and smiled. “That’s why they have to take the risk and take down one family. It’s best if that one family has enough prestige to let them return to the pinnacle of glory.”
Su Ming frowned and asked in confusion, “There’s nothing wrong with taking such a step. I just don’t understand why they would target our family. There are clearly many more suitable ones, and they are safer and devoid of risk.”
Su Ming had a very clear understanding of his family. He did not think that his family was already invincible, but it was definitely not something that the declining Lu family could easily take down. If the two families fought, there was only the possibility of both sides suffering heavy losses.
Su Kun looked at his silly son, who was still feeling doubtful and sighed. “Because the current head of the Lu family is a guy who is too ambitious.”
Su Ming did not seem to have thought of such a reason. For a moment, his eyes widened in shock.
Su Kun sneered. “You’re still young. After this, you’d better go to the branch company to gain some experience.”
Su Ming immediately lowered his head, feeling wronged. Su Kun tore the pieces apart for the young successor bit by bit, explaining the twists and turns. “There’s no other reason why the Lu family is targeting our family. It’s because their leader wants to bite off more than he can chew. He overestimated the Lu family and underestimated the Su family.
“They want to devour one family and kill two birds with one stone. Not only can they alleviate the decay of the Lu family, but they can also intimidate the other families in Jing City. You are right. There are many more suitable and safer choices. However, you have to remember that, in any battle or scheme, one has to take into account fickle things like emotions and human nature.”
Looking at his son’s immature reaction, Su Kun sighed deeply. “I know this is very difficult, Xiao Ming. You don’t have to be anxious. Dad can continue to support you for many years. However, you must make sure that you improve at all times, because accidents will not take the time to greet you.”
