Lu Chengwen was momentarily stunned in the car, his mind racing.
He remained silent for a moment: "Why tell me? This is your family's business secret."
Xu Xuejiao said discontentedly: "I was afraid you'd get angry! You like Leng Qingqiu so much, and if we acquired Qianfeng, you might get mad at me later. Humph."
"Thank you."
Lu Chengwen hung up the phone.
He had been negligent.
The Leng family's influence was waning, and who else coveted the foundation of Qianfeng besides his own family? It wasn't just the Xu family; the Chen family might also have such thoughts. Plus, there was Huo Wendong...
The situation had become completely chaotic.
The Leng family was now like a vassal state that had lost its fighting power, and all the surrounding vassals wanted a piece of the pie, eager to tear them apart and take the biggest share for themselves.
The Xu family and the Chen family began to make their moves.
Huo Wendong already held 29% of the shares. As long as he acquired more than 20%, Qianfeng Group would truly change hands.
Leng Tianhao had controlled Leng Qingqiu all his life, believing his daughter would always follow his orders, feeling confident of victory.
But when Leng Qingqiu became uncontrollable, he panicked. He urgently needed a shareholder to cooperate with him to stabilize the situation.
If Leng Tianhao refused to sell his shares, could he still maintain control as the largest shareholder?
It wouldn't work.
Huo Wendong, Lu Chengwen, and Leng Qingqiu all held significant shares. If they cooperated, he would be marginalized, and his words would no longer carry weight in the company.
Even if they didn't cooperate, the four parties would be entangled, each wanting something different, stirring up trouble, and causing his shares to shrink... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now, each party had different information, and Leng Tianhao's information was the most alarming.
His daughter was going to team up with Lu Chengwen... so he could only go to Huo Wendong.
But Huo Wendong had already shown his fangs, demanding that he sell 30% of his shares, at least 25%.
Huo Wendong already held 29%, and selling 25% would almost completely eliminate his control over Qianfeng. Huo Wendong would then hold more than 50% of the shares and become the new chairman of Qianfeng Group.
Qianfeng would be his.
Xu Xuejiao called again.
"Xuejiao."
"Oh, you're being much nicer to me now that I've given you a heads-up."
Lu Chengwen sighed: "Is there something you need?"
"To talk business."
"Business?"
"Yes, let's meet and talk."
At the same time, Jiang Shihan began receiving continuous calls.
Huo Wendong and Leng Tianhao also invited her to meet.
Jiang Shihan politely said that Lu Chengwen's schedule was not yet set, and she needed to give a response later.
After hanging up, she looked at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen bit his finger.
"See Xu Xuejiao first."
...
The meeting with Xu Xuejiao was not formal; they met in the office of the pharmaceutical factory.
"Speak, Xuejiao, what's going on?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "Sit down."
"Okay."
Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen seriously: "Do you like Leng Qingqiu?"
"Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to talk business?"
"Yes, about business. Do you like her?"
Lu Chengwen looked helpless: "What kind of business is this? This sounds like a love affair."
"This is important."
Lu Chengwen said: "I don't like her."
"You've been a舔狗 (licking dog) for three years just to take over the Leng family?"
"I haven't!" Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated: "What are you trying to say?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "My dad wants me to talk to you. We can cooperate."
"How?"
"You and Leng Qingqiu can negotiate, and we can collectively buy her shares. But keep it secret. Meanwhile, my dad will talk to Leng Tianhao or Huo Wendong to buy more. Together, we will exceed 50%, and we can fully control Qianfeng Group."
Lu Chengwen frowned: "Why doesn't he talk to me himself?"
It was better not to mention it. As soon as she mentioned her dad, Xu Xuejiao immediately became unhappy: "You still have the nerve to say that? You went to my house and argued with my dad, even forcing him to look at the contract. How can he talk to you? You made him sign the contract with a gun to his head?"
Lu Chengwen chuckled: "I was a bit impulsive last time, but your dad was so infuriating! He wouldn't listen to me and just kept lecturing me. I went to your house to deliver a bottom-line contract, which was basically giving you money, and he just kept lecturing me, over and over."
"What did he lecture you about?"
"He kept saying his precious daughter couldn't possibly be with a scumbag like me."
Xu Xuejiao laughed uncontrollably: "What did you say?"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth: "I grabbed his head and told him, 'I'm determined to have Xu Xuejiao. I'll take her home tonight and have a wedding. Next year, I'll bring you a grandson.'"
"Really!?" Xu Xuejiao jumped over and shook Lu Chengwen's hand: "You're pretty brave."
Lu Chengwen looked at her: "Bullshit! I told him to control his daughter and stop coming to my house to act!"
"I'll kick you to death!"
"Business! Talk about business!"
Xu Xuejiao pouted: "Anyway, we can work together to take over Qianfeng."
Lu Chengwen was silent.
"Hey! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Money! Do you want it or not!?"
"Of course I want money..." Lu Chengwen hesitated: "But Qingqiu is our friend."
"Your friend, maybe?" Xu Xuejiao was immediately dissatisfied: "I don't care! I want Qianfeng Group, and you must help me! Once we take over Qianfeng, Leng Qingqiu will be yours, so what are you afraid of?"
"Don't talk nonsense. With Leng Qingqiu's character, even if she goes bankrupt, she will rise again on her own. She won't rely on anyone, let alone me."
Xu Xuejiao didn't believe it: "I think even if Qianfeng doesn't go bankrupt, she wants to be your mistress."
Xu Xuejiao pulled Lu Chengwen: "I don't care! You can play around, but you can't marry her!"
"What are you talking about!?"
"You can marry her, but you have to be the secondary one! Hehe, having a beautiful sister serve me isn't bad. She can bring me tea, wash clothes, and give me foot massages. Thinking about it makes me excited."
Lu Chengwen grabbed her ear: "Listen up, if I marry, you'll be the secondary one. Leng Qingqiu will be my empress, and you'll be her servant, bringing tea, washing clothes, and giving my wife foot massages..."
"Get away! You're hurting me!"
Lu Chengwen, Jiang Shihan, and Xu Xuejiao didn't know that at that moment, Leng Qingqiu was in the inner suite.
Leng Qingqiu was a person who could walk with confidence in the Dashing Group building.
For three years, Leng Qingqiu had rarely come to the building, and when she did, it was usually to use the meeting room or attend government seminars.
But when Leng Qingqiu walked into the building, she exuded confidence and authority.
Everyone in the building knew that the owner of the building was a big shot in Xuecheng, but he was a "licking dog" for Leng Qingqiu.
So, Leng Qingqiu was the true queen here.
Lu Chengwen's suite had a bathroom. Leng Qingqiu went in to shower as if she were at home.
In the middle of the shower, she remembered the scene where Lu Chengwen, transformed into Long Aotian, suddenly fell into her bathtub and flirted with her.
Thinking about it, her face turned red, and her body felt hot.
Hearing Lu Chengwen enter, she originally wanted to secretly tease him, show off her charm, and if she succeeded in seducing him, she would become the young madam of the Lu family.
But when she saw Xu Xuejiao follow in, she knew something was up and hid to eavesdrop.
The more she listened, the angrier she became.
Xu Xuejiao, a brat, was not even out of college when Leng Qingqiu was already famous! Now she was trying to compete for a man with her!
Regarding the acquisition of Qianfeng, Leng Qingqiu had an extraordinary level of rationality and calm.
At this moment, even if it were her, she wouldn't hesitate.
If you don't do it, someone else will. Business is like a battlefield; when you lose, there's nothing to complain about.
A defeated general can only close his eyes and accept his fate.
But Lu Chengwen's hesitation made Leng Qingqiu's rationality and calm instantly overwhelmed by a strong emotion.
As a businessman, his hesitation was already meaningful.
It showed that he took her seriously.
When she heard Xu Xuejiao say she should be the secondary one, all her rationality and calm were gone, and a strong anger surged in her chest.
She wanted to burst out and curse her to death!
But she didn't dare.
Lu Chengwen was still there.
Although Lu Chengwen always bullied Xu Xuejiao, she could sense that after spending time together, Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao were the most compatible.
The more casual Lu Chengwen was with her, the more it showed that he was unguarded and relaxed with Xu Xuejiao.
In contrast, Lu Chengwen was always tense and cautious when facing her.
Thinking about this, Leng Qingqiu felt she had no advantage over Xu Xuejiao.
In terms of appearance, they were evenly matched, but Xu Xuejiao had money and a powerful father, even though he was useless and was forced to sign the contract by Lu Chengwen... but having a father was still better than not having one.
What did she have now?
Besides her looks and figure, what else did she have?
Nothing, like an abandoned orphan.
Moreover, Xu Xuejiao was good at being cute, stubborn, and charming, making Lu Chengwen laugh and showing off her feminine charm, which made Leng Qingqiu feel hot with jealousy.
And Lu Chengwen was eating it up.
Leng Qingqiu sighed, thinking, "Be the secondary one? If I become the secondary one, I'll make your life hell!"
"You, with your evil mind, I'd rather support Chen Mengyun as my sister than let you have your way."
But at that moment, she heard Lu Chengwen say she would be the empress, and he would make Xu Xuejiao serve her, bringing tea, washing clothes, and giving foot massages... her heart suddenly warmed.
This scoundrel!
He still cares about me.
Xu Xuejiao rubbed her ear: "Just one word, quickly take over Qianfeng!"
"Not going to!"
"Are you crazy? This is the perfect time to act. If you help my dad take over Qianfeng, I'll be yours!" Xu Xuejiao deliberately acted very confident, but her face was red.
Lu Chengwen looked at her: "Who wants you? I have Leng Qingqiu, with her long legs and slim waist, much more enjoyable than you!"
"What did you say!? Have you been with her?"
"Been with her." Lu Chengwen had a rascally look: "Very enjoyable, much better than your dry, thin arms and legs."
Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen, said nothing, and tears streamed down her face.
Lu Chengwen was stunned: "You... why are you crying?"
