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

Mu Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"When the time comes, you should also invite Lao Jiang over. He has quite a bit of influence, and his presence will help keep things in order," Mu Qingfeng said.

"What kind of situation can he possibly control?" Lu Minghai said dismissively, taking a sip of water.

“Old Jiang is the owner of the number one newspaper in Shanghai. Of course, Shengfang Group has to consider Old Jiang’s face, afraid that he will expose it.” Mu Qingfeng curled his lips.

Lu Minghai gave Mu Qingfeng a thumbs up.

"Brother, you're so thoughtful."

At noon, Fang Wuyu, chairman of Shengfang Group, arrived at Fengming Company.

Secretary Liu escorted him directly to the chairman's office.

Fang Wuyu was a middle-aged man around forty years old, with shrewdness and cunning in his eyes.

When Mu Qingfeng saw Fang Wuyu enter, he stood up and invited him to sit on the sofa.

"Chairman Mu, what brings your company's General Manager Lu to your company after all this trouble?" Fang Wuyu asked with a hint of impatience.

Mu Qingfeng had been sizing him up ever since the other person came in.

He doesn't look like a good guy, and he's definitely not the type to be a main character.

How could a righteous protagonist do something that harms the public good?

Therefore, Fang Wuyu must be a villain just like him!

Moreover, the power behind Sheng Fang is in another province, while the Mu family is a native power in Shanghai. Fang Wuyu, the villain, can't defeat him!

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I want your Shengfang Group to take the initiative to propose to the higher-ups that you abandon the Huaihai Road construction project." Mu Qingfeng placed his hands on his abdomen, striking a pose.

"Chairman Mu, are you joking? Why should I give up the Huaihai Road construction project? If you want to take it, you can go and talk to the higher-ups yourself and compete fairly." Fang Wuyu looked at Mu Qingfeng with a sneer.

Although Mu Qingfeng was young, his aura was not suppressed by Fang Wuyu in the slightest.

"I've never liked trouble. If I can solve a problem at its root, I don't want to waste my energy on it," Mu Qingfeng said slowly, his gaze never leaving Fang Wuyu.

Fang Wuyu felt that he was actually frightened by Mu Qingfeng's gaze.

"What do you mean by that? You might as well be more explicit."

Fang Wuyu frowned.

“You contracted this project, but behind the scenes you’re planning to use the worst materials.” Mu Qingfeng pointed to the documents in front of him.

"Chairman Fang, do you need me to spell it out more clearly?" Mu Qingfeng looked at him coldly, his tone authoritative without being angry.

Fang Wuyu took the documents and looked at them; his expression changed repeatedly.

"So what? The project is only in the planning stage right now. I can change the materials." Fang Wuyu was not afraid of Mu Qingfeng's threat at all.

“You can indeed change, but once I submit these documents, do you think the higher-ups will continue to trust you?” Mu Qingfeng crossed his right leg over his left.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Fang Wuyu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng laughed out loud and said calmly, "Your backing may not be afraid of me, but you are now on my territory."

Mu Qingfeng clapped his hands, and ten burly men entered through the door.

Fang Wuyu finally showed a look of fear.

"What are you trying to do! You dare to touch me? That's illegal!" Fang Wuyu's voice cracked.

Lu Minghai burst into laughter, "Are you crazy, or are you just too stupid? You know perfectly well what you've done. Do you dare to report it to security? Aren't you afraid of exposing your own dirty secrets?"

Jiang Yuze pushed up his glasses and said, "Mr. Fang, I advise you to listen to Brother Mu and just hand over the project obediently."

Fang Wuyu then noticed the man wearing a baseball cap who had been sitting silently to the side.

"The Jiang... family of the Jiang family," Fang Wuyu stammered.

The Jiang family has a powerful political background, and Fang Wuyu can't afford to offend them at all.

His momentum instantly weakened.

"I will withdraw this project, but your Mu family may not be able to take it down!" Fang Wuyu gritted his teeth.

"Whether our Mu family can secure this project or not is not something you need to worry about," Mu Qingfeng said with a smile, tilting his head.

Fang Wuyu left Fengming Company in a sorry state.

In the office, Lu Minghai and Jiang Yuze gave each other a high five.

"It's all thanks to you, Lao Jiang. If it weren't for you, this matter would have been quite difficult to handle," Lu Minghai chuckled.

Jiang Yuze crossed his arms smugly and said, "Actually, even without me, you and Brother Mu could have cracked this bone."

"It's just that with me around, the efficiency has improved a little, without breaking a sweat."

He pinched his fingers together and blew on them.

Mu Qingfeng laughed as he watched the two of them fooling around.

“Old Jiang is right. Without Old Jiang, we would have had to teach Fang Wuyu a lesson, and I really wouldn’t have wanted to take action. So, Old Jiang deserves the most credit for this.” Mu Qingfeng patted Jiang Yuze on the shoulder.

"But Brother Mu, why do you want him to give up that project? To be honest, I don't think much of it." Jiang Yuze disagreed and curled his lip.

"What happened to that project?" Lu Minghai asked, puzzled.

“If the Huaihai Road construction project is to proceed, it will involve the old city area, where there are many holdouts who refuse to move, and it’s not easy to demolish those houses,” Jiang Yuze explained with a frown.

Mu Qingfeng remained calm and said, "I understand what Lao Jiang is saying, but I want to take on this project mainly to improve my image in front of the higher-ups."

"To be honest, if the holdouts refuse to move, it's because they haven't been paid enough," Mu Qingfeng said confidently.

He took out his tablet and showed the two of them a picture.

"Look at this road," Mu Qingfeng said with a smile.

In the picture, there is a house surrounded by two roads that bypass the house and converge at the other end.

"When this family heard that their house was going to be demolished, they hurriedly added more floors to their building. In the end, after discussing with the higher-ups, the contractor for this road decided to bypass their house, so all their efforts were in vain," Mu Qingfeng said with a mocking smile.

Human greed is insatiable; once you want too much, you end up with nothing at all.

“This isn’t the only example like this. If they’re all unwilling to relocate, then we’ll just take a detour. This project will still be able to proceed,” Mu Qingfeng said confidently, raising his chin.

"In addition, the construction of this road involves the expansion of the new district of Shanghai, which can provide more jobs, so most people support it," Mu Qingfeng analyzed.

Jiang Yuze nodded. "I haven't studied this area. If you're confident in your abilities, then that's fine."

"So what are we going to do next?" Lu Minghai asked the two of them, puzzled.

Mu Qingfeng covered his forehead and said, "Of course we need to talk to the higher-ups about the project. And this matter requires not only Fengming Company to get involved, but also the Mu family and the Lu family."

"I'll go back and discuss it with my father," Jiang Yuze said after thinking for a moment.
