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

Mu Qingfeng looked at Secretary Liu with curiosity and hissed.

"That's not right. Why would Bai Wanru throw Ye Aotian out? Shouldn't she have a natural affinity for Ye Aotian?" Mu Qingfeng muttered to himself.

Secretary Liu couldn't understand why the chairman was so certain that Miss Bai would have a natural affinity for Ye Aotian.

Mu Qingfeng snapped out of her daze and asked, puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with me? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Secretary Liu hesitated, looking at Mu Qingfeng with increasing sympathy in her eyes.

Mu Qingfeng couldn't take it anymore, clenched his fist and said, "Spit it out, or I'll dock your pay!"

Upon hearing that his salary would be deducted, Secretary Liu quickly replied.

"Because Ye Aotian took a lot of fake information to Platinum Beauty Company, trying to slander you in front of Miss Bai. But who is Miss Bai? She saw through the fake information at a glance."

Secretary Liu's smile grew wider as he spoke, and he looked at Mu Qingfeng with an ambiguous expression.

"Chairman, I think Miss Bai really likes you, otherwise she wouldn't have defended you in public."

Mu Qingfeng opened his mouth, somewhat shocked.

He really didn't expect Bai Wanru to do this.

He shook his head; something was wrong!

The plot shouldn't be going this way.

Ye Aotian is the protagonist. If the protagonist speaks ill of him, the main villain, in front of the female lead, shouldn't she immediately believe him?

Moreover, even though Bai Wanru promised not to oppose him, she shouldn't be able to defend him.

"Don't say things like that outside, it's bad for the girl's reputation," Mu Qingfeng said gently.

Secretary Liu didn't understand, but she could only respect her chairman's wishes.

Lu Minghai came in from outside and asked, "Secretary Liu, what did your brother tell you not to say outside?"

"Miss Bai..."

Before Secretary Liu could finish speaking, Mu Qingfeng stopped him with a look.

Mu Qingfeng said, "Go and do your own thing. If I hear you say something like that again, I'm really going to deduct your salary."

Secretary Liu hurriedly said in a fawning manner, "I would never say anything out of turn, but I can't stop the others."

Mu Qingfeng raised his hand, and Secretary Liu quickly left the office.

Lu Minghai watched the interaction between the two with a puzzled expression.

"What secret can't I know?" Lu Minghai said unhappily.

"Miss Bai? Bai Wanru? I heard this morning that Bai Wanru kicked Ye Aotian out of the house for my brother's sake." Lu Minghai looked at Mu Qingfeng with a gossipy expression.

"Big brother, Bai Wanru still likes you, based on my years of experience in the dating scene." Lu Minghai crossed his legs and looked at Mu Qingfeng in a nonchalant manner.

"What emotional experience do you have? Don't you only have experience sleeping with women? Have you ever been in a relationship?" Mu Qingfeng looked at Lu Minghai with a mocking smile.

Lu Minghai sat up straight instantly, trying to sound tough, and said, "Big brother, how can you talk like that?"

"Isn't what I said the truth?" Mu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.

"That's just because I don't want to be in a relationship. If I wanted to, I could just wave my hand and there would be plenty of women willing to date," Lu Minghai retorted.

"They don't love you as a person, they only love your money." Mu Qingfeng mercilessly rebuked Lu Minghai.

“Well, even if I haven’t eaten pork, I’ve seen pigs run. Bai Wanru is protecting you like this in front of a man, especially since that man is your rival. What else could this be but liking? This is love!” Lu Minghai said righteously.

Mu Qingfeng waved his hand to stop Lu Minghai from chattering on and on.

"Stop! Don't say that anymore. There's no way I can be with her." Mu Qingfeng was like a heartless scumbag.

Lu Minghai shook his head in disappointment: "Brother Mu, you've disappointed me so much. I thought you were a brave person who would pursue love, but I didn't expect you to be such a coward!"

“Bai Wanru strongly supported you at the meeting yesterday. Isn’t that a sign of love? Who would be so idle as to throw money around like that?” Lu Minghai insisted on his opinion.

"You want your salary docked too?" Mu Qingfeng gritted his teeth.

Lu Minghai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and chuckled, "Is this what Secretary Liu was talking about? You can't deduct my salary, and I won't be threatened by you."

"I knew it! Bai Wanru is head over heels in love with you!" Lu Minghai made a face at Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng covered her head with her hands, refusing to communicate with Lu Minghai.

Lu Minghai, realizing he had made a fool of himself, stopped talking.

He said worriedly, "Sigh, the municipal departments haven't issued an announcement yet. Once the announcement comes out, the old man and the others will definitely know, and we'll be scolded to death."

"Don't worry, just do as I tell you and convince your old man." Mu Qingfeng said nonchalantly.

He is doing things that are beneficial to the family's continued development and will not harm the family.

“My old man isn’t as easy to talk to as yours,” Lu Minghai cried out in anguish.

"Then why did you still dare to act rashly and follow suit?" Mu Qingfeng looked at Lu Minghai with amusement.

"Of course we should support our eldest brother," Lu Minghai said matter-of-factly.

Mu Qingfeng simply smiled without saying a word.

That's why he was determined to save Lu Minghai.

Although this guy is often unreliable, he's really good to him.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the Zhao and Wu families would also support him in this project.

The two people from the Zhao and Wu families who attended the meeting were older brothers who were a few years older than Mu Qingfeng and the others, and much more composed than Lu Minghai.

"I didn't expect the six major families to unite as one this time," Mu Qingfeng said.

Lu Minghai understood. "Of course, 3 billion is not a particularly large sum for either of their families. Moreover, at this time, they must stand with the Mu family and not give others a chance to take advantage of the situation."

Mu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this explanation.

In the end, Lu Minghai was the original person from this world, and he understood this better than Mu Qingfeng.

The municipal departments issued the announcements exceptionally quickly.

The bidding results were announced on the afternoon of the second day of the meeting.

The Mu family invested 30 billion, the Lu family 10 billion, the Jiang family 5 billion, and the Zhao, Wu, and Su families each invested 3 billion.

There's also 150 million from Platinum Beauty Company.

And below it are the "charitable donations" from various other companies.

This result immediately sparked public discussion.

"Good heavens, so many zeros! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."

“You might not have a concept of 30 billion. It’s like giving you 10 million every day. It would take more than eight years to give it all away.”

"Great! The person upstairs is a mathematician. We're saved."

"In a corner where no one pays attention, my miraculous skincare group also invested 150 million."

"Oh no, I'm starting to look down on 150 million. Can someone come and wake me up?"

"Why don't other people invest? They're all just making charitable donations."

"They probably felt that those ten or twenty million were not suitable for investment."

"Would it kill the world if there were one more rich person like me?"
