The Bootlicking Antagonist Wants to Survive,but Female Lead refuse to

Lu Chengwen wanted to curse.

Unfortunately, Huaxue Ning, Long Autian's guard, was hiding right where he was climbing over the wall.

Most likely, she had hit his thigh when he fell from the wall.

Now his thigh was numb, and he limped when he walked. It was impossible to escape from the wall now.

The main entrance!

Long Autian should have already entered the house, so he couldn't encounter him by going through the main entrance.

But after only a few steps, Lu Chengwen tripped again, being discovered by the people in the mansion, who quickly supported him back to the living room like a bunch of stars supporting the moon.

In the study.

Of course, Leng Tianhao was still sitting in the main seat.

Lu Chengwen and Long Autian sat on the guest sofa, Long Autian squinted at Lu Chengwen with disdain.

Lu Chengwen smiled ingratiatingly, looking at Long Autian.

Sitting on a chair on the side, Leng Qingqiu pondered: Why is this Long Autian everywhere? Why is Chengwen always so wary of him?

Leng Tianhao said, "Mr. Long, please tell us about this matter in detail."

Long Autian said, "Dayu Group is a supergroup in the southern region, Mr. Leng must be aware of this, right?"

"Of course," Leng Tianhao said, "Dayu Group has built more than forty large amusement park projects in over thirty cities domestically. In addition, it is involved in the development and construction of various projects such as hotels, film and television investment, tourism city development, art exhibition halls, etc. Its asset evaluation is around four trillion, a truly massive group."

Long Autian nodded, "They have been secretly surveying this project for a long time, the location has been chosen, and the information is naturally top secret. But I can tell you, they are about to start negotiations soon. If we act now, and buy that piece of land, it will catch them off guard. By then, we just need to sit back and wait, they will come to us for negotiations."

Leng Tianhao nodded, gritting his teeth, extremely excited inside: "Tens of billions if we can secure that piece of land, we can even raise the price threefold!"

Long Autian shook his head, "No."

"Do you think I'm selling it too expensive?"

"It's too cheap."

Long Autian smiled, "Selling land is just a one-off deal, it's boring. With this piece of land in our hands, there's much more we can do."

"Oh? Such as?"

Long Autian said, "They have the funds, and they are also in the design and negotiation stages. Everything is ready, only lacking the land. Once we get this land, we can negotiate with Dayu Group."

"Please elaborate."

Long Autian said, "Firstly, we can request to invest. For seventy billion, we can hold more than twenty percent of the shares in the new large-scale amusement park, and if negotiated well, we can reach twenty-five percent or even higher. Once the amusement park is built, the annual net profit will be at least over fifty billion. That means we can receive dividends of over one billion per year."

"But that's a long-term profit chain, the construction of the amusement park is uncertain for several years, our Qianfeng Group..." Leng Tianhao didn't explicitly say it, but he had already made it clear. They needed to earn quick money on their side, they couldn't afford to wait.

"Hahaha!" Long Autian said, "Mr. Leng, are you still confused? The money in the later stages is for the later stages. With the land in our hands, what we can negotiate is not just about how many shares to hold. Construction, materials, teams, procurement, promotion... We can casually pick a couple of these and write them into the contract, do you think we'll have no money to earn?"

Leng Tianhao slapped his thigh excitedly, "Brilliant! If that's the case, we can earn quite a bit during the construction phase with these tens of billions. And once we can participate in this project, the entire Leng family will be revitalized!"

"Exactly!"

At this moment, Leng Tianhao looked toward Lu Chengwen.

"Chengwen, you're not an outsider, you know the situation of Qianfeng, and besides, you're already engaged to Qingqiu, you're family. So, I didn't hide this matter from you today. What do you think about this?"

Lu Chengwen was still massaging his thigh.

He thought:

[What do I think? What does this have to do with me? Long Autian wants to woo your daughter, this project is his big brick for knocking on the door.]

[You just obediently listen to him, and this piece of land will be settled by him for you, free of charge. Aren't you excited? Aren't you moved? If you don't cry to him, there's no way to end it!]

[Plus, my relationship with Leng Qingqiu is tense, so, you have to betroth your daughter to him! From now on, everything should be based on his preferences, just listen to him.]

Leng Qingqiu almost spat blood out of anger.

This deadhead, at this point, still suspects that I like Long Autian! Where did you see me like him? There's clearly none!

Why do you always misunderstand what others do!? I have to find a way to make him stop misunderstanding.

Wait a minute... Why do I care so much about Chengwen's "misunderstanding"?

Leng Qingqiu was moved, but she was too proud, and it was difficult for her to quickly accept her inner thoughts.

Pride and indifference were just her protective colors.

At this age, who isn't a pure girl? Who doesn't yearn for love?

It's just that Leng Qingqiu couldn't quickly accept her own changes.

She didn't have that ability, it was her flaw in this regard.

Lu Chengwen hesitated and said, "I... I think Brother Long has a point..."

[Wait a minute!]

Lu Chengwen suddenly had a bright idea!

[Why am I helping him along? Why should I support Long Autian?]

[I should oppose Long Autian, shouldn't I?]

[This guy is just trying to show off! If everyone agrees with him, how impressive is that? The effect of this wave won't be as satisfying!]

[I have to stand up against him, confront him, and go against him! That way, his wave effect will be maximized.]

[Right! I have to give him a chance to shine, let him feel triumphant, thinking he's capable of changing the world.]

[But I have to be careful! If I go too far, he might crush me. Yes, that's it.]

Leng Qingqiu squinted her eyes: Lu Chengwen, you have such a strange way of thinking, don't you?

If I couldn't hear your inner thoughts, who would know you're harboring such devious thoughts?

Why don't you make use of the good things that come to you? Why must

 you be your own antagonist?

What are you plotting? Do you have a screw loose?

Lu Chengwen stood up at this moment: "I think, although Brother Long is naturally gifted, talented, unparalleled in the world..."

Long Autian thought, why is this guy so disgusting?

"Hey hey hey, don't give me flattery, get to the point!"

"Yes, I disagree with Brother Long's idea."

"Oh?" Leng Tianhao was very surprised.

This was obviously a business opportunity. Asking him for his opinion was actually allowing him to do a favor.

Leng Tianhao asked Lu Chengwen, actually hoping to hear Lu Chengwen's strong agreement, to actively show up in front of Leng Qingqiu, saying he would fully support, take the initiative to invest money and effort, help secure that piece of land, and participate in the subsequent operations.

This is Cold Tianhao's strategy.

Cold Tianhao, someone who has been in the business world for many years, has long been seasoned.

Would he be unclear about the commercial value of this intelligence? Would he not know how important this project is to the Cold family?

Big shots always have hidden meanings at critical moments, always aiming for multiple achievements with one move, eager to accomplish as much as possible.

The intelligence that Long Aotian possesses is invaluable. It can be said that whichever of the four major families he mentions this to, he could exchange it for a lifetime of wealth.

But Cold Tianhao doesn't want Long Aotian to take all the credit. He hopes to utilize the resources of the Lu family through this matter, preferably with some financial contribution from them as well.

You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket!

However, Lu Chengwen, a newly rising high-quality but unscrupulous businessman in the business world, is pretending to be ignorant at this moment.

Cold Tianhao frowned unhappily, "Chengwen, why are you against this project?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[Uncle, wait a moment, I need to think, I need to come up with something on the spot.]

Cold Qingqiu was almost infuriated.

If this opportunity had been given to Lu Chengwen three years ago, he would have been the first to come forward and make a big deal out of it.

He would say that he would negotiate for this piece of land himself, for free; he would cover half of the cost for this land without interest or equity, without seeking any return, only asking that they allow him to marry Cold Qingqiu.

This was definitely Lu Chengwen's approach before, shameless and brazen, he would definitely do such a thing.

But today, he was determined to draw a clear line with himself. Although he knew this deal would make money, a lot of money, he wanted to distance himself.

Disgusting!

Too disgusting!

Lu Chengwen thought for a moment, "Firstly, this piece of land is difficult to acquire. Once the news leaks, the price of this land will skyrocket."

Cold Tianhao thought this was obvious, what are we discussing here?

"Secondly..." Lu Chengwen felt he couldn't come up with any more excuses, fortunately, he decided to be straightforward, "Secondly... I think the project of renovating the suburban slums is more worthwhile. I suggest we proceed with that project."

Cold Tianhao couldn't believe his ears.

Was Lu Chengwen crazy?

What does this mean? Contradicting me!?

Don't you see that I already have a plan in mind? Asking you is just a formality?

What kind of nonsense is urban renovation? I don't have that much money to invest in such a remote place!

Cold Tianhao's expression became increasingly unpleasant.

"Oh," he still managed to force a smile, "I think we can give this project a try. Chengwen, I remember your Lu family has a good relationship with the Land Rights Bureau. Can you help me out, check the situation, and make an appointment with the person in charge of the auction, let's meet and discuss it. Later on, in terms of funding, I'll provide some assistance. We're one family, can you not refuse this little favor for me?"

Lu Chengwen was ecstatic.

[Old man, you guessed right! I am indeed going to refuse!]

[Your family's future will firmly be in the hands of Dragon Aotian. I won't interfere.]

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Chengwen spoke leisurely like an elder:

"Oh, this... is not very convenient. I do know the person in charge of the auction, but I really don't have much confidence in this project. As for the funding, I'm also in a tight spot, it's too difficult, too tight..."

Cold Tianhao was almost furious.

If not for the consideration of the face between the two families, he would have cursed out loud by now.

You little brat, how did you talk to me when you were chasing after our Qingqiu?

You said you were willing to do anything for Qingqiu, that the affairs of the Cold family would be yours, whether it's money, people, or connections, it would be a piece of cake, as long as Qingqiu married you, you could change your surname to mine and be called Cold Chengwen.

Someone who has said such shameless and cheesy words is suddenly acting arrogant!?

Cold Tianhao gritted his teeth, trying hard to maintain diplomatic decorum, and forced out a smile, "Alright, Chengwen, since that's the case, Uncle won't trouble you anymore. It's late, you should go back first."

Thinking to himself: Go away! Just get lost!

"Okay."

Lu Chengwen didn't waste any words, he turned around to leave.

"Wait."

Cold Qingqiu couldn't bear it any longer, she looked at Lu Chengwen with cold eyes and said stubbornly:

"Father, I think what Chengwen ge said makes sense. I intend to invest all the funds in the suburban slum renovation project."

Lu Chengwen was already at the door, but he turned around in shock, looking at this enemy.

[Big sister, are you out of your mind!?]
