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

Long Aotian squinted his eyes: "I found that you are everywhere, everything is about you, and everything starts to go sour when it involves you."

Lu Chengwen hurriedly said, "Mengyun, don't tease! This kind of joke is not appropriate!"

Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen with a mischievous expression, "You tell me, have you ever bullied me?"

Lu Chengwen pulled Chen Mengyun to the side, "Sis, we can't joke about this! It could be fatal!"

"Oh, are you afraid of someone?" 

"You quickly explain to him, otherwise, I'll really be in trouble!"

"Then promise to have dinner and watch a movie with me."

"Are you crazy?" Lu Chengwen lowered his voice forcefully, angrily saying, "We've already broken up! Now it's over between us, you wanted to split up in the first place, so let's just stay split!"

"Then can I use true love to win you back?"

Lu Chengwen nervously watched as Long Aotian and Chen Moqun were handing out cigarettes and chatting with each other.

Lu Chengwen was worried that Chen Mengyun would inadvertently harm him, and also afraid that the clueless Chen Moqun would annoy Long Aotian and bring trouble upon himself.

Lu Chengwen said, "A movie, a meal, and then we go our separate ways."

"Do you really dislike me?" 

"Sis, how could I dislike you? You're so beautiful! I just want to stay alive!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Anyway, be polite to that Long Aotian, get along well with him, and in the future, speak well of your brother to him. He might be your brother's nemesis."

"What else do you know?"

"Just this, I can't say too much, if I say more, I'm done for."

Chen Mengyun nodded, "So, our dinner appointment and the movie are still on, right?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"Good." Chen Mengyun walked up to Long Aotian and suddenly appeared mature and composed, "Mr. Long, thank you for helping us just now."

"It was just a small effort. Not to boast, but even the experts from other territories would kneel and beg for mercy when they encounter me, let alone these few losers."

Chen Mengyun nodded, "I can tell you're an expert."

"Want me to teach Lu Chengwen a lesson? Or shall we go for coffee first, and I'll deal with him later?"

Chen Mengyun smiled, "I was joking. I don't like boys who fight."

"Oh, then coffee..."

"No need for coffee, I don't really like it, and I have plans to have dinner and watch a movie with Chengwen. Until we meet again."

After saying this, Chen Mengyun turned around and dragged Lu Chengwen downstairs.

Lu Chengwen wanted to break free, but Chen Mengyun turned back with a cold look and whispered, "Dare to struggle, and I'll let him kill you!"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[You're ruthless!]

[I've known you for so many years, and I didn't know you had this side to you!]

[Wow, if you get tough, it's really terrifying, isn't it?]

Lu Chengwen really feared Chen Mengyun's impulsiveness. She didn't understand the severity of the situation and might inadvertently cause harm to him.

Not struggling would be seen as a provocation to Long Aotian.

Well, delaying it for a while is better than nothing.

Lu Chengwen grabbed the fat guy, Chen Moqun, "You come with me too!"

"Why bring him?" Chen Mengyun frowned.

"There's something to discuss."

They walked out, and Chen Mengyun giggled incessantly.

Lu Chengwen said displeased, "You're still laughing, you almost got us into trouble."

"Hey! Why are you so afraid of that Long Aotian?"

Lu Chengwen thought, if only I could explain to you guys clearly, I would have already.

"Anyway, he's the nemesis of me and Chen Moqun. You better protect your brother well. The fat guy might end up dead in his hands. Don't blame me for not warning you."

"Is that all?"

Lu Chengwen looked at him, very seriously, "Chen Moqun, do you believe me?"

"Of course, you're my brother, I trust you."

"Then remember, if you want to live, don't provoke him. You saw his combat power just now, it's on a completely different level from us who have only learned a few moves from the martial arts hall. And this guy is ruthless and cunning, he'll do anything to achieve his goals. He won't spare you just because you're the eldest grandson of the Chen family. This guy is capable of anything, including but not limited to killing you."

Lu Chengwen deliberately spoke harshly, hoping to deter Chen Moqun.

Chen Moqun nodded solemnly, "Indeed, this guy really surprised me today. Thanks to you stopping me earlier, otherwise, I might be in the hospital by now."

"So! We can only outsmart him, not confront him."

Chen Moqun nodded, "This guy covets my sister's beauty, he's just like Hu Shuhui, we mustn't let him succeed."

Lu Chengwen thought this would be difficult to handle.

"Regarding him and your sister, it's best if you don't get involved. If you don't interfere, he might not bother you either. If you try to stop him from flirting, he might really kill you!"

Chen Mengyun interjected, "Are you saying I'm definitely his now?"

Lu Chengwen said, "I don't care about your relationship, I can't control it either, I just have one idea. Let me and Chen Moqun live, this guy is capable of killing for the sake of flirting."

Chen Mengyun snorted, "I'll just stick to you then, how about that!"

Lu Chengwen looked at her, "You..."

Chen Moqun laughed, "Okay, it's just Long Aotian, I'll deal with him."

Lu Chengwen was on the verge of collapse, "Did you two even listen to me? I just... I've said so much, is it all nonsense?"

"Chengwen, when did you become so timid?"

"I'm not timid, I'm managing this instance with strategy and consideration!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chengwen looked at the fat guy wearing only a bathrobe, "Just get in the car, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

...

In the back seat of the car, Long Autian looked at the newspaper with a gloomy expression.

Hua Xue Ning sat opposite him: "Young Master, Lu Chengwen has repeatedly disrupted Young Master's plans. Why not just kill him?"

Long Autian raised his head: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not. It's just that seeing Young Master always suffer losses, I feel unwilling in my heart."

Long Autian snorted: "The situation is not quite as I expected. I don't know why, but I always feel that the development of things is a bit... strange."

"Is it because of the incident where Young Master fell into the cesspool?"

Long Autian looked at Hua Xue Ning: "Don't mention that cesspool to me again! Never mention it again!"

"Yes!"

Long Autian took a deep breath: "Lu Chengwen cannot be killed yet, the situation has changed. My original plan was to deal with the three families of Leng, Xu, and Chen in turn, and then gather the power of the three families to deal with the most powerful Lu family. But now all three families are a bit hindered."

"The hindrance is Lu Chengwen!"

Long Aotian nodded, "However, even though we can't get rid of him temporarily, it's still possible to make him suffer a bit."

"Send a message to Shiyin, it's time for her to take action."

Hua Xue Ning said, "I can handle this kind of task!"

Long Aotian laughed, "No, some tasks must be handled by Shiyin."

Hua Xue Ning frowned, "She's only good at seducing men."

"Hahaha!" Long Aotian laughed heartily, "You, you just don't understand flexibility. Originally, I could have had Jiang Shihan act as my undercover agent to gather intelligence, but unexpectedly, this despicable person is so loyal to Lu Chengwen. Shiyin belongs to me, and Lu Chengwen is just a lecherous person... Once I figure out his background, I won't worry about toppling the Lu family."

"Does the young master plan to start with the Lu family first?"

Long Aotian shook his head, his eyes carrying a hint of gloom, "The best answer is still the Leng family."

...

Waking up from a nap, Lu Chengwen felt refreshed.

He figured it out.

Why was he always an opponent of Long Aotian? Because I'm still in this position!

Apart from a few female leads, Long Aotian's ultimate goal is to integrate the four major families of Xuecheng. As long as my family is still one of the four major families, it will definitely be the target for the protagonist's absorption, and this won't change.

Unless, the Lu family shrinks to a level that the protagonist isn't interested in. Becoming a second-rate family or even a third-rate enterprise.

In this way, the Lu family will become an inconspicuous background outside the main storyline of this book.

Moreover, this will change my social relationships, and I will have fewer interactions with the major female leads.

Yes!

By making some profitable deals, messing up some of the Lu family's secondary businesses, selling off a portion, and keeping only a few core profitable projects.

This way, it can ensure that the family's living standards won't decline too much, and it can guarantee the absolute safety of myself and my family!

I am indeed very clever.

The slum redevelopment project is the first step. If this step is done well, hehe, maybe all the problems will be solved.

Dashing Group.

Lu Chengwen sat in the core position, looking at the two rows of subordinates, smiling.

"Everyone, I've reviewed the recent financial statements, and you all did well. The internal affairs department will reward those who have contributed recently, all participating subsidiaries, departments, and outstanding employees in profitable projects will be rewarded. The group's overall salary will increase, with an increase of no less than twenty percent."

This sentence caused an immediate uproar among everyone.

Lu Chengwen is famously stingy, and the salaries of the management and employees of the group have always been at the lowest industry standards.

As long as he ensures that they won't leave, he'll keep their salaries as low as possible.

Lu Chengwen aims to make money externally and save money internally. His lavish lifestyle, debauchery, and extravagance are his own business. You want to earn my money?

Oh please!

The salary issue has always been a topic of complaint within the Dashing Group.

But Lu Chengwen's tactics are quite clever; he almost uses all means to bind the top management.

Thinking of leaving? Well, the salary here is actually quite good, and besides, Dashing Group is at its peak. Working here can create far more value and personal achievements than other companies.

Don't want to leave? The salary is just not stimulating enough, the boss will squeeze every penny he can.

Ultimately, every company is more or less the same; even companies that spend lavishly have their drawbacks... In short, you can't bear to leave, but if you don't leave, the salary definitely won't be top-notch.

But today, Lu Chengwen shocked everyone by actively requesting an increase in employee wages.

Vice President Li Meiqin was very surprised.

"Mr. Lu, shouldn't we discuss this internally first? A twenty percent increase is not a small amount, once implemented, our future operating costs will become very high..."

"No need to discuss."

Lu Chengwen was very clear about what he was doing.

While others cut costs, he must increase revenue.

Losing money externally, spending money internally, doing both. Once the operational situation of the Dashing Group deteriorates, peripheral subsidiaries will start closing down one after another, selling off assets...

He must quicken his pace; Long Aotian won't give him much time, he must disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

"That's settled!" Lu Chengwen said firmly, "Execute my decision."

Li Meiqin furrowed her brows, completely unable to understand what wind was blowing through the boss's mind today.

Her first thought was: Could it be that he found out about my plan? This person, has he become so powerful? Damn it, I've underestimated Lu Chengwen's strength too much!

Li Meiqin clearly felt fear from today's boss, deep from within herself.
