~7 min read 1,357 words

"Could such a loss possibly be greater than that of Yaotian Pharmaceutical?" Yu Mingcai asked in return.

Yu Xingguo looked sharply at Yu Mingcai; he discovered that his eldest son was a bit different today, and his tone of voice did not seem to be the same as it had been in the past.

"Then where do you want to transfer to?" Yu Xingguo took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"Beijing. Even if Zhang Ran has immense influence, he has nowhere to exert it in Beijing." Yu Mingcai spoke his mind.

This was also the best solution for now!

He, Yu Mingcai, wanted to develop, wanted to climb higher; he could not stay here any longer, otherwise, it would be a favor from others if he could even stay in his current position until retirement.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Yu Xingguo's entire face suddenly turned ugly, looking even worse than when he had just learned the news about Zhang Ran.

"You... what did you say?" Yu Xingguo looked at his eldest son in disbelief.

"This is my only way out, and it is the best way out right now. Of course, if you, Dad, are unwilling to go find Second Uncle, then forget it." Yu Mingcai's expression was very calm, as if he were not talking about himself.

But Yu Xingguo knew that this son of his was forcing him!

There was a reason why Yu Xingguo had been so rigid, stubborn, and even pathologically insistent on certain so-called ancient rites for so many years.

He, Yu Xingguo, was the eldest son of this branch of the Yu Family, so the education he received from childhood was the best in the family.

In the past, he also believed that he was the most qualified person in the family to inherit everything; he, Yu Xingguo, was the future head of the Yu Family.

But when the time came for the Yu Family to choose an heir, he, Yu Xingguo, actually failed, and he lost to his second younger brother, who had been loafing around every day at the time.

In what way was he, Yu Xingguo, inferior to his second younger brother?

Why choose him instead of him, Yu Xingguo?

Was he, Yu Xingguo, not the heir everyone had always identified?

At that time, Yu Xingguo believed that everything was the family's fault for choosing the wrong person; he, Yu Xingguo, was the most suitable person and the one who should have inherited the family business.

So he left Beijing, and the fact that he had remained so "old-fashioned" for all these years was the most important reason why.

For this, he even broke ties with his own daughter, and did not even go to see her when she was in the most difficulty, let alone help her.

He did it for that sense of indignation in his heart!

He believed he was right and everyone else was wrong!

He believed that they were destroying the rules!

Yu Xingguo had persisted for so many years and had paid such a heavy price, and now he was on the verge of entering the grave.

At this moment, the eldest son on whom he pinned his high hopes was forcing him to admit defeat!

At this moment, a sense of despair arose in Yu Xingguo's heart!

Yu Mingcai knew about these things, but he still chose to do this.

Indeed, he had been a beneficiary of Yu Xingguo's mindset for many years; because he was the eldest son of the family, everything best in the family was given to him.

What he ate, drank, wore, and used was the best their family had.

Yu Xingguo even handed over all his connections to him, Yu Mingcai, which was one of the reasons he had reached where he was today.

By comparison, not to mention the two girls, Yu Qingwan and Yu Qingyu, even the second son of the family, Yu Mingzhi, had received worse treatment than him because of this.

But Yu Mingcai wanted to go further; he wanted to reach a higher position!

Before this, he felt that his own abilities were completely sufficient, but now it would not work; now, these were not enough.

So he was forcing his father to go and admit defeat to his second younger brother, to lower his so-called noble head!

But wasn't all of this exactly what Yu Xingguo called persistence?

He, Yu Mingcai, was the only heir to their family, the eldest son; he, Yu Xingguo, also needed to sacrifice something for this eldest son of his.

Yu Xingguo stared blankly at his eldest son, but his eyes lacked any focus.

Yu Mingzhi stood weakly on the side at this moment, not saying a word; he felt that he had come back at the wrong time today.

However, seeing his father in this state, he did not know why, but a sense of vengeful pleasure welled up in him.

Didn't you always believe that the second son should just stay at home honestly and that not causing trouble for the eldest was the best thing?

In the past, you even deliberately suppressed him for a period of time so that he, Yu Mingzhi, would not threaten Yu Mingcai's position.

Now that your eldest son has started forcing you to admit defeat to the person you least want to face, what choice will you make?

"I... I will consider it," Yu Xingguo said with a trembling voice.

Yu Xingguo's already aged body seemed to have completely lost its former spirit at this moment, and he slumped down entirely.

The next morning, Yu Mingcai stood in his courtyard, quietly waiting for Yu Xingguo's reply.

He waited until ten o'clock; he did not see Yu Xingguo come out, but he received a call from his second uncle.

"Mingcai, we are planning to visit Russia for an inspection in a while to discuss some matters. You should prepare to go along with us.

After we return from this trip, I can transfer you back to Beijing, and I have already arranged your position," Yu Xingmin said.

Yu Mingcai's eyes suddenly brightened, but his voice remained steady, "Thank you, Second Uncle!"

"Haha, what are you thanking me for? We are all family. You should also persuade your father. It has been so many years, and you know something about what happened back then. It wasn't that I snatched his things, but that he couldn't handle them," Yu Xingmin said.

Regarding what Yu Xingmin said, Yu Mingcai actually agreed to some extent. He understood the situation at the time; the political climate was turbulent, and Yu Xingguo's personality at the time was a bit rigid, although not as unreasonable as he was now.

But his personality and ability were truly not suitable for the situation at the time, which was why the Yu Family chose Yu Xingmin instead of him, Yu Xingguo.

And facts proved that the Yu Family's choice at the time was correct.

It was just that Yu Xingguo certainly did not think so; he always believed that he was right and others were wrong.

Yu Mingcai nodded and said, "I know, I will properly persuade my father."

"That's good. You should prepare well on your end," Yu Xingmin said before hanging up the phone.

Yu Mingcai gripped the phone in his hand tightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes!

Heh!

Zhang Ran?

We shall see!

Yu Mingcai knew that as long as he arrived in Beijing, relying on some support from the Yu Family, he would advance even more smoothly than he did now.

As for Zhang Ran?

Once in Beijing, who would know who Zhang Ran was?

From beginning to end, Yu Xingguo did not come out, and Yu Mingcai knew his father probably did not want to see him now, so he did not stay behind, but instead left directly with his wife.

His goal was now achieved; he only needed to wait until he returned from Russia, and he could be transferred to Beijing. At that time, he would make Zhang Ran pay the price!
