As a villain who transmigrated, all I want is to survive.

As soon as Mu Qingfeng returned home, Madam Mu affectionately took his hand.

"Mom, you didn't take me with you when you went out to play, and you only say you missed me when you come back. That's so fake." Mu Qingfeng put on a wronged face.

"You have no idea how much I've suffered these past few days."

This is truly unfair.

She was caught in the middle, caught between Su Xueyi and Bai Wanru.

"I've heard about your situation. I never imagined my son had such charm. His ex-girlfriend and fiancée are competing for his attention. Son, which one do you prefer?" Madam Mu looked at Mu Qingfeng with amusement.

"Hey, stop it, I can't handle any of them." Mu Qingfeng was speechless.

"I'm not going to banter with you anymore. Your father wants you to come back to the study." Madam Mu patted Mu Qingfeng's hand.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingfeng's smile froze.

God knows how afraid he is of his father.

Although the family relationship is usually harmonious, it can't withstand the aura that Dad has.

"How is Dad feeling?" Mu Qingfeng subtly inquired.

"Go ahead and go, your dad won't eat you."

Madam Mu poked Mu Qingfeng's forehead.

Mu Qingfeng entered the study with a pounding heart. Mu Lintian was looking through documents.

"They've arrived." Mu Lintian's face was full of authority.

Mu Qingfeng felt that without his mother, he and his father were just strangers he knew!

"Dad, is something the matter?" Mu Qingfeng asked cautiously.

"You've really changed a lot. You used to be fearless, but now you look at me like a quail." Mu Lintian stared at Mu Qingfeng.

"Oh, really? It's alright, it's just that I've grown up and don't dare to offend my father casually." Mu Qingfeng scratched the back of his head.

Of course I’m afraid!

Don't be fooled by his father's kind and gentle appearance; he is the head of the number one family in Shanghai!

He's a ruthless and decisive figure in the business world.

Even if Mu Qingfeng lived ten more lifetimes, he still wouldn't become like this!

"I'm very pleased with your growth. You've been doing a great job running your little company lately." Mu Lintian smiled with satisfaction.

Mu Qingfeng was about to vomit blood. Fengming Company was involved in multiple industries, and many of its projects were industry leaders.

In his father's eyes, it was just a tiny company!

Even with such a small company, he was exhausted.

But he said, "It's what I should do."

"I've heard about what happened at your pharmaceutical factory. You handled it very well and cleanly. But weren't your methods a bit too lenient?" Mu Lintian looked at Mu Qingfeng with disapproval.

"Keeping that person alive will always be a problem."

“Dad, it’s not that I’m too mild-mannered, but that your previous methods were too radical. We live in a society governed by the rule of law now, and any illegal or criminal behavior can be exposed. I’ve already sent that person abroad; his family is in the country, and he wouldn’t dare to go out and say anything reckless.” Mu Qingfeng retorted to his father for the first time.

“Since our family wants to completely get rid of those shady practices, we need to learn to use gentler methods. Times have changed; this is the only way to gain the trust of those below.”

He spoke with a strong and forceful voice, but his momentum instantly weakened after seeing Mu Lintian's expression.

Mu Lintian wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, he felt gratified that his son had such thoughts.

“You’re right, times have changed, and it’s time for me to retire.” Mu Lintian leaned back in his chair, clasping his hands together on his stomach.

"Hey, Dad, I have no intention of usurping power. Don't test me like this." Mu Qingfeng quickly adopted a defensive stance.

If he takes over, won't his position as the villain be confirmed?

“I would like you to take over, but you don’t have the ability yet,” Mu Lintian laughed.

"Right, I don't have that ability, so you'd better stay as the head of the family for a few more decades." Mu Qingfeng said casually, crossing his legs.

Only now can you see some resemblance to its former self.

"So we need to quickly develop your skills. Starting tomorrow, arrange some of your work at Fengming Company and set aside a few hours each day to train at the main company." The head of the Mu family tossed a document to Mu Qingfeng.

"Here is the exercise plan I've prepared for you."

Mu Qingfeng opened it and saw several pages filled with it, then let out a painful groan.

He just wants to be a couch potato, as long as he doesn't die!

He had become increasingly familiar with Fengming Company's business and rarely worked overtime anymore.

As soon as his father came back, he put him at maximum intensity.

"Dad, could you make it a little shorter? This is too cramped!"

“This is only a small part; the entire corporate group's business is much broader. The businesses listed on this table are similar to those of Fengming Company. Let's start with what you're familiar with.” Mu Lintian tapped the table.

Everyone goes through this phase; why should this brat have to suffer?

Mu Qingfeng left the study with a bitter expression and went to the Mu Group headquarters the next afternoon to report for duty.

However, Mu Lintian did not allow him to enter as the heir of the Mu family, so he could only start from the bottom.

"Young Master, the Chairman wants you to start with purchasing at the medicinal herb factory," the secretary-general said.

Purchasing is the department that best reflects basic production costs, so Mu Lintian's arrangement makes sense.

Mu Qingfeng ran around with the purchasing team all day, and was exhausted, but the work was still not finished.

"Manager Li, this procurement work is really tough. You all have a hard time every day." Mu Qingfeng gave the procurement manager a thumbs up.

"I ordered coffee for all my colleagues in the department, and I'll share it with everyone later."

"Thank you very much, Young Master Mu," Manager Li said happily.

Mu Qingfeng's phone rang. "The security guards won't let me in? Okay, I'll come and get you."

At the factory gate, a food delivery worker was carrying several large bags.

"Go away, go away, no takeout orders allowed here." The security guard waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.

"With so many bags, who will compensate me for the loss if they get lost?" the deliveryman shouted indignantly.

"I don't know which blind fool didn't see the rules that say delivery drivers aren't allowed in!" The security guard shouted and yelled into the building.

Going to work is already annoying enough, but then you run into people who don't follow the rules.

Mu Qingfeng jogged over, "The takeout is mine."

"Didn't you see the rules say that food delivery is not allowed in the park? Do you think the rules are inanimate?" the security guard shouted impatiently.

"You ordered so much, what if you get food poisoning? Can the park afford to take responsibility?"

"Brother, I'm new here today and I didn't notice this rule. This takeout is for my colleagues in the office. Could you please make an exception and let me bring it in?" Mu Qingfeng offered the security guard a cigarette.

"New here? Your office colleagues didn't tell you this rule. You're not very popular, are you? Ordering coffee for others makes you look like you have a lot of money?" the security guard said dismissively.

"Does being a security guard make you seem so capable?" the deliveryman said sarcastically from the side.

Mu Qingfeng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Brothers, let's talk this out."

"Hey bro, I've got your takeout. You can go now. Sorry, I'll give you a chicken leg as a tip later!"

The delivery guy immediately beamed with joy, "Okay, thank you!"

"Showing off despite being poor."
