The dog-licking villain only wants to be doggy, and the heroine doesn't follow the routine!

"Lu Chengwu? What happened to him?"

Huo Wenting said, "He was over there with Vice President Tianzhu in launching a coup. Now, not only has he been detained, but our Huo Group has also become an enemy company that funded and instigated a coup in another country! All of our company's assets have been frozen, and all other cooperative projects have been halted, making it impossible to recover large sums of money... Now, even our Huo Group is starting to be blacklisted internationally for instigating coups in other countries for profit!"

"He's been arrested!?"

Huo Wenting snorted: "Now you know how serious it is, right? Now you know how to worry?"

Lu Chengwen laughed, put down his phone, knelt on the bed, and clapped his hands.

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"

Huo Wenting was stunned, and looked at her phone: "Lu Chengwen, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "Scum like him deserves to suffer!"

He picked up his phone: "What's the situation now?"

"He was detained by the government forces, and our assets were frozen. We can't produce, we can't start work, but we still have to pay the normal rent, electricity bills, labor costs, and huge fines. The fines are higher than the value of our assets!"

"Then you don't need to pay! Your assets are only a few hundred billion, and he fines you a hundred billion, so why bother paying? Hahaha."

"If we don't pay, it's an international breach of trust! We won't be able to conduct any business in Tianzhu anymore, and many countries will lower our credit rating, using this as an excuse to demand higher rent, insurance premiums, and labor costs, as well as increase the time and amount of tax payments. Do you know how much this will affect the entire Huo family?"

"Oh, I see. We're very sorry, but we're truly sorry!"

Huo Wenting was so angry she was practically fuming.

"Lu Chengwen, is he really your brother? You don't care that he's in jail? And if the reputation of the Huo family is affected, my position will be even more in jeopardy, do you know that?"

What can I do?

Lu Chengwen thought for a moment: Why didn't he call me for help?

When did the coup begin?

"It was suppressed early this morning, and your brother has also been detained."

"Oh."

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Okay, you can try talking to the Tianzhu government. They're all greedy, they'll be fine with a little money."

"They're asking for an exorbitant price! We can't possibly satisfy them like that, otherwise we won't be able to recoup this loss for a very long time. And if we did, we'd really have a criminal record, you understand?"

"Oh, you're going to take them down one by one! Don't go through the proper channels, let's talk individually."

"You want me to bribe officials? We are a legitimate company. If we are found to have bribed high-ranking foreign government officials, the situation will be much worse."

"Find a handyman, someone clean, someone who has no connection to you but is somehow related. If something goes wrong, just deny it; if nothing goes wrong, we all get rich together."

"Lu Chengwen! What kind of terrible ideas are you coming up with? Do you really think international business is governed by the same rules as being a nouveau riche in Snow City? This matter must be settled immediately! Also, I'll be in Snow City this afternoon. I also need to coordinate with you on the land reclamation port issue."

"Huh?! You didn't even make an appointment? How can you be sure I have time?"

"How could I possibly get a hold of you?! You disappear for a month or two every now and then! I absolutely have to see you this afternoon!"

Huo Wenting had just hung up the phone when Leng Qingqiu called.

"Qingqiu, you know I'm back? But... I think I have to leave soon, it's urgent, because of Tianzhu..."

"You can't leave now," Leng Qingqiu said. "Something's happened."

……

Inside the minivan.

Leng Qingqiu and Lu Chengwen sat facing each other.

Leng Qingqiu was at a loss: "President Zhang of Di Yi Group, President Wang of Deer Group, President Li of Ti San Group, and President Zhao of Disi Group... they all submitted their applications for independence around the same time yesterday afternoon. According to the original contract, they do have the right to apply for independence and break away from the management of Da Sheng Group, and the cost of breaking away was set at the minimum standard. According to the contract, the amount they have to pay to break away from Da Sheng Group will not be much."

"But now Chengwen District has taken shape. The occupancy rate has increased, the supporting facilities have also improved, and even the villa area that has not yet been built has been pre-sold very smoothly."

“If they want to leave now, our project progress will definitely be affected. They have resources such as raw materials, suppliers, and professional technical teams. They are trying to undermine us.”

"But their real goal isn't independence; it's to force me to step down and demand the election of a new CEO. This is a coercive attempt to seize power."

“Cheng Wen…”

Leng Qingqiu said dejectedly, "I'm sorry."

Lu Chengwen laughed, thinking the sky was about to fall, but it turned out to be just a few little devils causing trouble.

Exhausted, Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu and said, "The original contract was signed by me and them. Seventh Master, who acted as guarantor, passed away a few days ago, so they've all started to get cocky. This has nothing to do with you. Actually, you've already discovered the problem with your communication with them and have done a lot of work on it, I know."

"However, such a complex project, with so many complicated collaborations, all intertwined and tangled together, makes it impossible not to rely on them, just as I had no choice but to sign contracts with them in the first place."

Leng Qingqiu's aggrieved eyes welled up with tears: "Cheng Wen, scold me all you want, I'm useless, I..."

Looking at her, Lu Chengwen suddenly realized that Leng Qingqiu was, after all, a girl.

Lu Chengwen handed the wine glass to Jiang Shihhan and said sternly, "Of course I have to scold you! You've caused such a huge mess. I entrusted both Dasheng Group and Qianfeng Group to you, and you've made such a mess of things. I have to clean it up! Do you know what you did wrong?"

Leng Qingqiu nodded: "I know I was wrong."

"come over!"

Leng Qingqiu moved closer to Lu Chengwen and knelt down in front of him: "Go ahead and scold me."

Lu Chengwen was taken aback, and then his mind began to wander.

A girl wearing high heels and thigh-high heels kneeling in front of you—the impact is undeniable.

Lu Chengwen quickly hugged Leng Qingqiu and tapped her little nose: "Your punishment is to love me."

Leng Qingqiu chuckled: "What should we do? Their attitude is very firm."

"Of course we're determined to rebel!"

Lu Chengwen seemed distracted: "Wow, what brand of perfume are you using? It smells so good. Oh, your hand cream is really nice, your hands are so soft. Hmm, yours..."

"Oh, Cheng Wen!" Leng Qingqiu said coquettishly, "It's a matter of life and death, you have to help me. I don't care, if you don't help me, I'll cry."

"Oh? Then go ahead and cry."

Lu Chengwen said with a grin, "I like seeing you cry."

"You hate it!"

The car stopped, and Tie Tuo Wang opened the car door. He saw Leng Qingqiu, who was strong and domineering, kneeling in front of Lu Chengwen, her eyes full of coquetry and flattery.

Lu Chengwen looked down at her as if she were his own little pet, his gaze full of doting affection.

They were all dumbfounded.
