The Bootlicking Antagonist Only Wants to Survive, but the Female Lead Refuses to Follow the Usual Plot

Chapter 78 Mr. Lu is so awesome 

Leaving the hotel, Lu Chengwen bid farewell to Chen Moqun and the others.

He repeatedly reminded Chen Moqun not to act arrogant if he encountered Long Aotian.

Getting into the car, Xu Xuejiao also jumped in and looked at Lu Chengwen with a smile.

Lu Chengwen felt awkward.

"Just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Xu Xuejiao lowered her head, smiled, and looked at Lu Chengwen again: "You're a good kisser. To be precise, you should say you're amazing."

"Uh..." Lu Chengwen said awkwardly: "Actually, there was a bit of a situation just now, so..."

Xu Xuejiao sensed something was wrong: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you, don't... don't take it too seriously..."

"Don't take it seriously? That was my first kiss, how could I not take it seriously?"

"Your first kiss?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh, I'm... really sorry about that."

"Lu Chengwen, you kiss me in front of so many people, and then tell me 'sorry', what do you mean? You just want to kiss me whenever you feel like it, and then when you're done, you want me to get lost and you continue being a diamond bachelor, is that it?"

Lu Chengwen thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

Xu Xuejiao pushed open the door and got out of the car: "Lu Chengwen, you're ruthless! If I talk to you again, I'm a dog!"

Then she slammed the car door shut.

When Lu Chengwen and the others arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Gang drove over to serve them.

At this moment, Zhao Gang stood there and watched Xu Xuejiao leave in a huff with tears in her eyes.

He said cautiously: "Mr. Lu, this is... what's the point? President Xu seems to like you very much, and her family is rich. I think she's more likable than President Leng."

Lu Chengwen looked at Zhao Gang and smiled: "Zhao Gang, just do your own thing, I have my thoughts."

"Oh."

At this time, the phone rang. It was Li Meiqin.

"Mr. Lu, is it convenient for you to come to the company?"

"What's wrong?"

"There are a few documents that need your signature and confirmation."

"Got it."

When he arrived at the company, many people were whispering.

"Hey, Mr. Lu is here."

"Yeah, he hasn't come to work for several days."

Lu Chengwen walked in, and Jiang Shihan immediately followed: "Mr. Lu, good news!"

"What good news?"

"The comrades from the shantytown development team office have signed an additional contract with us."

"Cut to the chase."

Jiang Shihan said: "You'll have to ask Mr. Li about that, she knows more details."

A group of people greeted him one after another:

"Hello, Mr. Lu! Hello, Mr. Lu! Hello, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Chengwen turned around and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard, please continue working."

Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Chengwen walked over, and a female employee said to her colleagues in horror: "Mr. Lu! Did you hear that? He smiled at us! And said we worked hard!"

"He used to ignore me! He would always take advantage of the beautiful female executives as soon as he entered the door. What's going on today?"

At a T-junction, a female employee rushed out with a tray of coffee and bumped right into Lu Chengwen's arms.

Not only did the coffee spill but Lu Chengwen's suit was also ruined.

The female employee was immediately scared silly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu! I was wrong, Mr. Lu! I didn't mean to..."

Jiang Shihan immediately got angry: "What are you doing being so careless? Do you know how much a suit of Mr. Lu's costs?"

The female employee was even more scared and was about to cry.

Lu Chengwen laughed, picked up the half-empty cup of coffee from her tray, and took a sip: "It's okay, don't worry about it, just make everyone some new coffee."

"Yes... yes..."

Jiang Shihan followed Lu Chengwen: "I'll fire her immediately."

Lu Chengwen was surprised: "Why do that? It's just a few cups of coffee, it's not a big deal, look at how scared she is."

Jiang Shihan smiled and said: "Mr. Lu if it were before, you would have scolded her. You've changed a lot recently."

Lu Chengwen didn't answer: "How is your mother's illness?"

Jiang Shihan was deeply moved and said cautiously: "Thank you for your concern, she's doing well, but as agreed, I still need to ask you to tell President Xu to operate on her."

Lu Chengwen nodded: "I understand."

He walked into the office, and everyone immediately stood up: "Mr. Lu."

"Okay, sit down."

Jiang Shihan helped Lu Chengwen take off his suit and handed it to another assistant to be washed and ironed, while also asking another assistant to prepare a new suit for Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen sat in his chair and said with a smile: "Tell me, how much more does the office want to extort from us?"

Li Meiqin smiled and said: "This time it's not extortion, this time it's really good news."

Lu Chengwen was puzzled: "Tell me."

Li Meiqin took the planning map of Xuecheng: "This piece of land here, after research and decision by the municipal government, will be sold to us at a special price as compensation for the shantytown project."

Lu Chengwen looked at the map: "Where is this?"

"I think this land has great potential and will be valuable in the future. If it's handled properly, we could make a lot of money."

"Oh."

Li Meiqin continued: "Also, the municipal government and the office have jointly decided to lower our tax rate for three years. We can save a lot of money during these three years, a rough estimate is that we should be able to save several hundred million."

"Oh."

"Also. The several projects our operations department has targeted have obtained priority. If nothing unexpected happens, they should all be ours, and the other major families and foreign investors can only watch."

"Wait!" Lu Chengwen said: "Isn't this unfair competition? Will it dampen the enthusiasm for attracting investment?"

Li Meiqin said: "Mayor Zhao said at the meeting that our Great Sage Group is a conscientious enterprise and has made outstanding contributions to the city. We can't let such an enterprise collapse, and we can't let such an enterprise only suffer losses and not reap any benefits."

"Mayor Zhao also said that if the shantytown project is not completed, it will have a huge impact on our investment attraction projects. Only after this project is completed will Xuecheng's ability to attract foreign investment be stable and solid. In short, he is speaking in favor of our Great Sage Group."

Lu Chengwen sighed.

Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin: "Is there more?"

"Yes." Li Meiqin said: "In short, Mayor Zhao has been active in the province these past few days because of this project and our Great Sage Group. The various subsidies and preferential policies he has obtained for us are the best! He doesn't want us to collapse, he hopes we can survive and complete this project. In short, there are too many benefits, our Great Sage Group is now a hot star enterprise."

Everyone looked at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen didn't show any sign of happiness, he was very calm and even kept frowning.

[Isn't this screwed up! This means I'll lose a lot less money!]

Jiang Shihan was stunned, thinking to herself, what was going on in Mr. Lu's mind?

Lu Chengwen tapped the table twice and looked at Li Meiqin: "That... is... can we not sign this additional contract? No tax cuts, various benefits, what... land or anything?"

Li Meiqin was stunned: "I... I've already signed it, the contract is already in effect. It's just that our internal execution level needs your confirmation."

Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin, feeling very troubled.

All the senior executives became nervous.

This was a matter of taking advantage!

The Great Sage Group was going to lose money on this project. The government was being considerate, and Mayor Zhao was sympathetic to the Great Sage Group, so he worked hard to get these benefits. Why didn't Mr. Lu seem happy?

Lu Chengwen scratched his head: "In the future, if there are any similar things, let me know immediately."

"Oh, yes."

Li Meiqin felt very wronged.

When such a good thing came knocking, almost all companies would immediately finalize and sign the contract, for fear that the cooked duck would fly away.

And this kind of additional contract had no risk at all, did not involve any investment, and had huge benefits, it was completely within her authority.

But it seemed that Mr. Lu didn't appreciate it, and even seemed a little unhappy.

At this time, someone pushed the door open and rushed in: "Mr. Lu! Congratulations, Mr. Lu! Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"

"What now!?" Lu Chengwen said angrily.

"The stock price of our Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory is soaring!"

Lu Chengwen stood up abruptly: "What did you say? Speak clearly!"

"It's like this! Yesterday, a recording was posted online by a mysterious ID. The content was of you scolding the young master. According to the content of the conversation, the rumor that you deliberately produced fake medicine has been cleared! And the content of you severely reprimanding the young master has been reprinted by various media outlets, and various big Vs have recorded videos and written articles, saying that you are the conscience of the pharmaceutical industry!"

"The online reviews are now all praising you for your medical ethics and saying that you are a role model of the times! The reputation of the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory has been restored, and the stock price has skyrocketed by 300% compared to the previous peak! Now the market value of the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory's stock is roughly estimated to be at least 220 billion yuan! We have made at least 80 billion yuan just from the stock price!"

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened, and he fell back into his chair, blurting out: "It's over."

[The stock price over there won't keep soaring, it will fall back, but damn, it's so much higher, even if it falls back by half, I'll still make more than 40 billion!]

[I'll make more than 40 billion over there, and I haven't lost all 50 billion here, and I've even gotten a piece of land! In the end, I might end up working for nothing and not making a penny.]

[I've worked so hard and painstakingly lost more than 50 billion, and then they turn around and make me more than 40 billion! Mayor Zhao insists on giving me land and some projects to do!]

[I'm screwed!]

The corners of Jiang Shihan's mouth twitched.

Mr. Lu's calculations were wrong!

This was wrong!

What kind of brain does Mr. Lu have!? Who calculates their accounts like this?

How could she know that Lu Chengwen planned to make money in the real world by losing money, and now the money he lost here was earned back by the pharmaceutical factory, how could he not collapse?

It was all for nothing.

At this time, several female employees in professional attire and black stockings stood at the door and winked at Li Meiqin.

Lu Chengwen already felt a bit of angina.

He pointed at the door: "What are they doing? Look! Look!"

"Yes."

Li Meiqin hurried out, and after a few minutes of muttering, she came back excitedly: "Mr. Lu, good news!"

Lu Chengwen's face turned pale.

"Don't mess with me! How is that possible?"

"It's true!" Li Meiqin said: "The blueprints for our shantytown have finally been finalized and construction can begin immediately! And the municipal government has promised that after the shantytown reconstruction is completed, 40% of the industries in the commercial district will be handed over to our Great Sage Group to manage!"

"Mr. Cheng! I admire you! I sincerely apologize to you!"

Another vice president stood up.

Lu Chengwen was about to have a heart attack: "Sit down! We'll talk about it another day!"

"No! I can't contain my admiration for Mr. Cheng right now! I have to say it!"

"Damn you!"

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" The man said excitedly, holding his phone: "We just received news that the stock price of our Great Sage Group has also skyrocketed, and the market department's phone has been ringing off the hook, everyone is asking for advance purchase tickets for housing and commercial services! This way, not only will we not lose money on this project, but we will also make a lot of money! A lot! Mr. Lu! We're going to make a killing!"

Everyone stood up, cheering, congratulating, hugging, shaking hands...

"Mr. Lu is awesome!"

"Mr. Lu is truly awesome!"

"Nonsense! Mr. Lu is simply awesome!"

"Mr. Lu is as awesome as awesome can be!"

"Hey? What's wrong with Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu passed out from happiness!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Pinch Mr. Lu's philtrum!"

"Oh, what's the use of pinching his philtrum! Mr. Lu likes beautiful women! Book a nightclub and get Mr. Lu ten girls! Mr. Lu deserves it!"

"Yes! Make sure they're all in short skirts and black stockings! Mr. Lu is a pervert, he likes that!"

Lu Chengwen's last remaining consciousness weakly cursed: "You bunch of... bastards..."
