In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 533: Vixen Has No Human Rights
It's September now, and the Leading Factory, which started construction earlier than the Totoro Industrial Zone, has not yet completed the main structure of the building.

Comparing with the construction promoted by Changjiang Automobile, it can be seen that there is something wrong with the entire progress.

Four cars in front and back were parked quietly in the automobile industrial park.

Looking out from afar, this rare flat land in the mountain city of Jiangzhou.

It's really half sea and half fire.

Jiang'an Automobile was bustling with activity, and the Totoro Super Pulse factory was also working intensively, but this side was completely quiet.

Dai Anni looked around curiously and asked, "Is there any daughter getting married?"

Zi Xiaowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's a business competitor! I've been observing the progress of Leading Auto. They've only sold 53,000 vehicles in the first eight months, but this new factory has a planned annual production capacity of 700,000. Do you see their ambition?"

Dai Anni was even more puzzled. "There are so many brands, so many car companies, and there are companies selling hundreds of thousands of cars everywhere, but you're concerned about this one... Chang Zhutou said you have a good relationship with the second daughter of this company?"

Zi Xiaowei was speechless. That girl was such a fool.

Why are you talking about these things?

But he still explained, "First of all, this factory is an independent listed car company. It has nothing to do with the Second Young Lady's family. It simply obtained the intelligent technology led by Cheng Dazui. They did not invest money or anything, only used technology as a stake. Therefore, the annual report of this car company shows that it has lost nearly 10 billion in the past three years. However, under such circumstances, they are still betting heavily on the expansion of this super factory, which shows that they really have something."

Women’s thinking is: “I’m asking you, Miss, don’t talk nonsense.”

Zi Xiaowei was speechless. "Listen to me, one by one. Last time in Shanghai, I reminded Mr. Cheng that the construction schedule of this factory was problematic. They could inject some capital to slow it down, otherwise we wouldn't be able to meet the production capacity delivery schedule. But he still maintains a life-or-death attitude in the business world. He refused my proposal for overseas sales cooperation, nor did he accept my agreement to compete based on product strength in the domestic market. Now, when he wants to launch the MPV, public opinion is in turmoil."

Diane finally paid attention: "Did they do it?"

That was a beautiful battle fought by her and her team of informants, but she didn't know who the opponent behind the scenes was.

Zi Xiaowei shook his head. "There's no evidence to prove who it was, but this is definitely not groundless. Spending so much on hype means there must be a conflict of interest. An MPV manufacturer? Or a commercial vehicle priced over 400,000 yuan? Lao Li said he had an idea. With his temper and abusive personality, he ultimately chose to swallow his anger. It can't be just some ordinary person causing trouble."

Diane concentrated: "Is that why you are so cautious?"

Zi Xiaowei said, "We built ourselves into a top-tier influencer based on Annie's underwear business. This step has surpassed the monetization bottleneck of all influencers. We will never fail because of promoting products. Selling good underwear every month is enough. But since I want to do something, transplanting our strategy to car sales is a dimensionality reduction attack. Using the profit ratio of selling underwear to selling cars, making tens of billions will be easy. Once we have our own platform, no traditional car companies or new forces in the automotive industry can beat us. Only Lei Jun and Cheng Dazui have this kind of online influence strategy. Their weakness is the car."

Dai Anni had also heard of these two entrepreneurs and had even met Big Mouth in Shanghai. "So Leading Auto, which even Old Chang and Jiang An don't care about, is the one you're most wary of?"

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "They're on guard because their corporate culture requires them to defeat the strongest competitor in order to maximize their profit margins. We've clearly become that competitor. This is very different from other car companies who can't defeat us, nor do they have the energy to do so. Furthermore, even if they destroy us, the market isn't theirs. However, we've firmly established ourselves in the SUV and sedan categories at the 300,000 yuan mark, completely blocking Leading Auto's desire to charge a high premium..."

He was indeed keeping an eye on the sales curve on his phone. He saw that Lixiang Automobile had completely collapsed since the appearance of the My Neighbor Totoro in May, with sales falling to three digits. It was only thanks to the MPV in June that the situation was reversed.

In fact, these past few months have been difficult for many car companies.

Leading Auto's two SUVs used to sell a total of 7,000 to 8,000 units per month, but sales were halved after May and almost zero in June and July.

Is this the biggest reason why cash flow has interrupted construction progress?
Dai Anni, who had already started searching through Zi Xiaowei's phone, was also suddenly shocked: "This is a situation that will never end. No wonder you hooked up with the second lady."

Zi Xiaowei was so angry that he almost vomited blood. How could you get around it everywhere? "That's not the case. She doesn't seem to be valued. There is no resource allocation in the company at all."

Diane was stubborn: "So you want to help her regain power?!"

Zi Xiaowei was so angry he laughed: "You've been watching too many online dramas at home. There's a lot of water here. She herself said that many people look down on her background. So, how about this? You take over the hype of her online celebrity videos and control the momentum. This is indeed in addition to the relationship with bigwigs like Lao Chang, there are multiple layers of insurance. We must ensure that we don't engage in unscrupulous moral attacks."

As he said that, he took the phone and sent Sabina's Jingxi live broadcast account to Dai Anni. He hadn't contacted her at all in the past few days.

The child's mother took it and looked through it, and sarcastically said, "You are good at playing the feminine role." That's why she is so likable as a vixen.

Zi Xiaowei didn't argue with her.

He turned around and gestured for me to get in the car and leave: "You can say whatever you want, but it has nothing to do with this person. I'm just used to being poor and at the bottom of society. Naturally, I have to cherish every resource at hand and keep it in reserve. Maybe when I'm at my wit's end, I'll have a way out."

Dai Anni could hear the coldness and distance in her tone, and was a little annoyed that he had spoken without thinking again.

Zi Xiaowei, who started Totoro, changed the subject: "The key is to rely on ourselves. The park management committee invested 200 to 300 million yuan to help Leading Auto finance this factory, and now it's in a mess. It seems like they can take advantage of the situation and swoop in. Let's see if we have a chance to take over."

Dai Anni understood: "You want to take advantage of the other party's lack of funds to directly participate in the shareholding?"

Zi Xiaowei nodded slowly. "Mr. Zhou mentioned to me before that state-owned assets are very interested in our situation. On the one hand, the new energy vehicle project is an achievement that the country is vigorously promoting. On the other hand, who doesn't like something that adds icing on the cake? I have no hostility towards Leading Automobile. If we can acquire some of its assets, we can work together to show our support to the outside world."

Diane, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the child's father with complicated eyes.

Even though she was brought up by someone powerful, she couldn't help but explode.

Once upon a time, Zi Xiaowei would still care about the car she threw at him, but now he is planning to acquire assets worth tens of billions.

So as Totoro sped onto the highway, she finally spoke softly:
"Since you decided to make new energy vehicles, I can no longer restrain you. Can you be honest with me? Will you leave me?"

Zi Xiaowei laughed instead. "If I were still that useless scholar sitting on the mountain ridge, would you still favor and support me? This is all about capital calculations, so don't confuse it with feelings. You gave me the opportunity to open up this situation. Now making money is no longer our goal. Pursuing more life experiences is the only way to make this time at the forefront worthwhile."

The girl was stubborn: "I'm asking if you will leave me?"

Zi Xiaowei responded simply and clearly: "No, we can make a lot of money together. No matter which track we switch to, we can make money. Of course, if you get tired of it, or feel that the current situation is ridiculous and want to break up, we should try our best to part ways amicably. I have no defenses against you now."

Dai Anni sat leisurely in the passenger seat, staring at the blank screen in front of her. After a while, she spoke: "I wasn't prepared..."

After a pause, he continued, "I know I'm not gentle and considerate, nor do I know how to say sweet words, and I don't have the pretty figure of others, but I really like you. I've thought about it, even if you can't make money, I'm happy to support you."

Alas, you were just being self-pitying and self-loving, but then you changed your tone.

This girl is really not good at dating.

But this tone of a real rich woman made Zi Xiaowei laugh.

He reached out and grabbed the child's mother's hand: "Okay, let's get to this point. Each of us five people has our own strengths and weaknesses. I'm not some boss who enjoys everything..."

As expected, Diane almost bumped the car roof with her baby jumping: "Five people?! When did it become five people?"

Her rare bit of sentimentality about the flowers and the moon was shattered to pieces.

Zi Xiaowei even spoke the truth in a serious and joking tone: "You, me, Ting Baobao, the eldest lady, and the vixen. The vixen has it hard too. She had her boyfriend stolen away by a big internet celebrity and a rich woman. She can't bear to give up my peerless beauty."

Dai Anni finally breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "Don't have any shame! Don't have anything to do with that second lady!"

Zi Xiaowei scoffed, "Think carefully, when have I ever been lustful? At least she was brave enough to take action when the gangsters pointed their guns at me and the young lady, which saved her from disaster. Even if it's just a little bit of gratitude, it's worth it for you to help her build her path to internet fame. I will absolutely not have any contact with her. If you violate this... I will sever all ties with this vixen!"

Maizi, who was busy working, must have shuddered, thinking that some unclean thing was possessing him.

Why did you swear to use her as a bet?
