In a minute, a tall man, who looked like he was in his early fifties, came out of one room. A western man, with blue eyes carrying a sharp gaze, his long pointed nose adding to his sharp features and long square-shaped face. His shiny grey hair combed in a perfect hairstyle. His build was strong that would make him look younger than his actual age and carried the strong and powerful aura around him to let one realize, he was not an ordinary person.

The man sat in the chair behind which his assistant was standing, his one leg crossed over another one, with his well-polished shoes pointing forward, his hands resting on either side on the hand rest of the chair.

"Glad to see you here, Mr. Xi Cheng," A man said in his heavy, cold voice which had a western accent.

"Glad to see you too, Mr. Victor Magnus," Xi Cheng said to greet him back.

"Call me just a victor," A man instructed and Xi Cheng nodded.

"So you know what I am here for?" The man named victor confirmed.

Nodding Xi Cheng asked, "I do but I am willing to know what is the reason behind your enmity towards Lu Corporations."

The man already expected this question from Xi Cheng, so he called his assistant, "Joseph!"

"Yes, Sir." Saying, Joseph moved towards the center table in front of the sofa, picked up one file from it and passed it to Xi Cheng.

The moment Xi Cheng opened the file and the first page he saw shocked him. There was a picture of a person. "This person?" and looked at the man in the chair, questioningly.

"Hmm! This person is the reason I am here. Go through the file and you will understand why," the man suggested.

When Xi Cheng finished going through the file, he spoke, "I can't believe this. How can this be…?"

"This is the truth and I want this person to suffer what I have been through all these years. I will make that person realize how it feels to see the person precious to you getting hurt." The man commented, making clear his intentions.

"I don't mind helping you as this President Lu Qiang is a thorn in my way too."

"I am aware of it, that's why I chose you. The plan is ready but I need your help to execute it as my powers are limited here."

"Don't worry, I will help you with every possiblething." As Xi Cheng assured it, Joseph passed him one more file in which they had noted the plan.

Xi Cheng went through it. "This is the same as the way I would like to work." An evil smile pulled out on his lips. Closing the file, he continued, "But for this, we need someone among them."

"I am aware of it and it's your job to get that one person," Victor instructed.

"Rest assured, I already have that someone, but it's difficult to get that person on our side with this plan," Xi Cheng explained.

"Do whatever you can and get the person. If we are successful with the plan, I will open the door for you in the western market."

As the man said it, the assistant Joseph passed one more file to Xi Chengand the man said, "This is what we have tooffer you."

Going through the file, Xi Cheng's eyes lit upand it didn't take much time for Xi Cheng to agree with it.

"I will go back in two days but there are few powerful people here who can help you with these as they owe me a lot. The list of the names is there in the file."

Xi Cheng went through the file and the man spoke again, "Go to any one of them and just say my name. You will get what you want."

"Though you are not from China, I am impressed with the connections you have here," Xi Cheng praised and the man replied, "When you have power, nothing is impossible."

"I think the same," said Xi Cheng.

"So, now it's your responsibility to execute it," the man commanded and Xi Cheng nodded.

Talking for a while and shaking hands, Xi Cheng left the suit.

"Sir, do you think he is trustable?" Joseph asked once Xi Cheng left.

"This man needs nothing but money and power. He won't think twice before doing anything out of the line, not to forget his evil brain." The man repliedand the assistant nodded.

When Xi Cheng sat in the car, his assistant started the car with so many questions in his mind.

"Boss, are we really going to execute the plan?" he asked.

"Hmm!" Xi Cheng nodded.

"If things went wrong, can you trust that man?" the assistant asked again.

"First, nothing will go wrong as I won't let it happen and second, I don't trust that man but I need him to settle down the things on my side knowing how powerful he is." Xi Cheng was referring to his family business matter.

His assistant agreed to him and Xi Cheng asked, "How are the things going on with my stepmother?"

"She is meeting few shareholders in the company out of which most of them are whom you made shut their mouth and Mrs. Xi's late father's friends."

"I see. It seems like she will soon start the battle."

"Yes, and from what I got to know that most of them already agreed to side with her as president Lu's support is with her too."

"I will step on her tail soon and soon that support will disappear."

"But we have to make it faster before she comes back or starts her planning," the assistant suggested.

"Let her come back. I personallywant to see that mother and daughter losing their hopes and then never try to raise their heads in front of me ever again."

There was a darkness in his eyes as he was determined to do what he had decided.
