That night, Lu Chengwen drank too much.

After staying at the Leng family for one night, Leng Qingqiu took care of him personally, and Hua Xue Ning and Zhuge Xiaohua also stayed at the Leng family to be responsible for protection.

Lu Chengwen's phone was turned off and he didn't answer any calls after that.

After waking up, I saw Leng Qingqiu sitting at a small desk, typing away.

Leng Qingqiu was wearing home clothes. She no longer had the powerful aura of a female president, but had a bit more of the gentleness and calmness of a housewife.

The pair of beautiful legs were put together and exposed outside the table, with the waist slightly twisted, leaning against the wall...still as beautiful as a painting, as if untainted by the world.

Lu Chengwen looked at her for a long time without any movement. He felt very content just looking at her.

Leng Qingqiu turned his head and smiled: "Are you awake?"

At this moment, Lu Chengwen was extremely happy.

It was as if he had no tremendous pressure, no catastrophic disaster, nothing. He was just a man who had just woken up and saw his lover smiling and greeting him.

Leng Qingqiu walked up to him and kissed Lu Chengwen on the forehead: "Wake up."

Lu Chengwen grabbed her, pulled her onto the bed, and the two rolled together.

Leng Qingqiu chuckled: "Stop it, you're annoying!"

Lu Chengwen pressed Leng Qingqiu under him and looked at her: "You are so beautiful."

Leng Qingqiu blushed and winked mischievously: "Isn't she better looking than Old Nineteen?"

Lu Chengwen smiled and touched her nose: "Prettier than anyone else."

"Don't let Chen Mengyun hear it. I'm afraid she will bite me to death."

Lu Chengwen began to touch her: "Today is the day, let's fly together!"

Leng Qingqiu giggled and dodged: "Stop it, I have to go to the meeting!"

"Meeting?"

"Yeah." Leng Qingqiu's smile slowly faded: "Mayor Zhao wants to see you and Huo Wenting."

……

In the city government's meeting room.

Lu Chengwen walked to the door, Secretary Wu pushed it open and said loudly: "Mr. Lu is here."

Mayor Zhao stood up and said, "Cheng Wen, I haven't seen you for a few days."

Lu Chengwen shook hands with Mayor Zhao, and saw Huo Wenting across from him, smiling, "Sister, it's nice to see you again."

Huo Wenting said with a straight face: "Really? I'm going to eat up all four of you."

Lu Chengwen shrugged: "Eat as much as you want!"

The three groups of people sat in a triangle area.

Mayor Zhao and Secretary Wu sat in the main seats.

Lu Chengwen and Leng Qingqiu were on the left, Huo Wenting and her secretary general were sitting on the right, facing each other.

Secretary Wu said, "Today we are honored to invite the leaders of the Huo Group and the Dasheng Group to have a face-to-face exchange. Mayor Zhao meant that he hopes that the two of you can sit down and have a good talk. After all, business is meant to be discussed. We have taken note of the Huo Group's request, and of course, we are also grateful for the Dasheng Group's contribution to the construction of Snow City."

“Here, I hope everyone can communicate honestly, frankly and constructively to find the basis for cooperation between the two sides and jointly develop for the benefit of the people and the city of Syracuse.”

The air pressure is too low.

Now that the relationship has been torn apart, there is nothing for both sides to worry about.

Lu Chengwen sat in his seat and looked at Huo Wenting coldly.

Huo Wenting also looked at Lu Chengwen coldly.

Mayor Zhao coughed:

"Cheng Wen, the superiors have instructed that the reclamation port project must be controlled by the Huo family. This is a national strategic plan. It is not that we are going back on our word. It really concerns the national economy and people's livelihood. It can be said that it has important and far-reaching significance for the future economy, politics, people's livelihood, diplomacy, etc. of our country and even the world."

Mayor Zhao was very clear that he was going back on his word.

When we signed the contract with Lu Chengwen, we didn't expect that the project could be implemented so quickly, let alone that it would become a national strategic planning project.

Now I want to take it back. From a personal emotional point of view, everyone will have emotions.

So, when he said these words, he was actually a little afraid to look into Lu Chengwen's eyes.

Lu Chengwen sat still, with only one hand slowly fiddling with a lighter on the table.

“Can we own a stake in the reclaimed port?”

Mayor Zhao shook his head regretfully. "You cannot get involved in this project. Of course, we can...discuss it. We can give you some...compensation for your losses. You can ask your team to calculate it."

Lu Chengwen forced a smile: "Since it is a national strategy, I, Lu Chengwen, as a member of the country, support it unconditionally."

Mayor Zhao was stunned.

Huo Wenting also narrowed her eyes.

Mayor Zhao: Admit it!? That simple!? Without even struggling!? Even if you know you will lose in the end, you can still use this to argue your case. It is also okay if you are kind enough!

This will also be an advantage for you in negotiations for other projects!

Huo Wenting: What is Lu Chengwen doing? Why is he so obedient? No, there must be a conspiracy.

Huo Wenting couldn't get any answer from Lu Chengwen's tone and expression, so she went to see Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Qingqiu kept his head down and looked at the documents on the table without any expression, as if he already knew about Lu Chengwen's decision.

What are these two people doing!?

Mayor Zhao was stunned for a long time before he said, "Uh... Cheng Wen, if you have any requests, you can also mention them. After all, this matter has caused you some losses."

"No." Lu Chengwen said, "Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. Businessmen cannot just think about making money. They must know how to share the worries of their leaders, contribute to the motherland, work for the people, and seek benefits for the world."

Mayor Zhao felt even more uncomfortable.

Lu Chengwen quickly smiled and said, "Mayor Zhao, you don't have to be like this. For the reclamation port project, we only paid for some labor, calculation, and coordination costs. I, Lu Chengwen, can still afford this little money."

Mayor Zhao said, "Have your team calculate the cost and report it to me. I will ask the government finance department to compensate you and pay you a penalty according to the contract."

Seeing that Lu Chengwen was about to refuse, Mayor Zhao interrupted, "It's settled. The government must be honest in its work. This matter has its reasons. For the sake of the overall situation, you and I have to make concessions. But we must not let conscientious entrepreneurs go to waste their efforts and discourage local companies."

Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Then listen to the leader."

Mayor Zhao turned his head and looked at Huo Wenting: "Mr. Huo, I believe you have seen the sincerity of the Dasheng Group. In this regard, Mr. Lu was unambiguous and made huge concessions. So, in terms of other projects, I hope you can also set an example. Please express your opinion."

Huo Wenting said, "Okay. Huo's will do a precise accounting. I can take over all the investments of President Lu, President Leng, Houde, Xiangyun... all local companies. Huo's will compensate you for all your losses at an equivalent amount."

Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes: "Boss Huo, you are so domineering."

Huo Wenting said, "Is this your first day in business? In a free market, survival of the fittest. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp can only eat microorganisms."

Lu Chengwen looked at Huo Wenting: "All projects are not for sale."

Huo Wenting smiled: "Then when you want to sell it, it won't be the current price. Mr. Lu, think it over carefully."

At this time, Mayor Zhao's face also darkened, and he said sternly:

"No transactions are allowed for any projects in the shantytowns without approval from the municipal government."
