Chapter 2092 A traitorous scoundrel
Huo Wendong remained silent.
Bang Daomang recounted everything he had heard, sending chills down Huo Wendong's spine.
Damn it! That bastard Lu Chengwen!
You're everywhere! Just when I'm about to take a break and make a move, you're always one step ahead of me!
Did that bastard plant a spy among me? Otherwise, why would he target me the moment I made a major strategic move?
This was something my second brother, Huo Wenbei, told me. He said that Syracuse might connect with coastal cities in several nearby provinces in the future, and that the Sai River, as the end of the inland sea, would definitely have development potential because it is adjacent to three neighboring countries. Investing in advance could save money, and the future development would definitely be explosive.
I just arrived in Saihe, and Lu Chengwen is already here, and the dishes he's prepared are completely targeted at me!
They'd already heated the kang (heated brick bed), warmed the pot, swept the yard clean, and wiped the table, just waiting for me to come in and be the sucker.
Huo Wendong looked at Bang Daomang and asked, "Did you know there was a mole inside?"
Bang shook his head.
Huo Wendong slapped him across the face: "We've been completely outmaneuvered! Don't you know the people around you are tainted?!"
Bang Dao Mang covered his face, looking aggrieved: "Then... what should we do?"
Huo Wendong grabbed him: "Drag him out here! I'm going to cripple him and bury him alive in the mountains! Bury him alive!"
"Yes Yes!"
Bang Daomang looked aggrieved: "Young Master, what do we do now?"
Huo Wendong's face was sinister:
"Lu Chengwen is playing dirty tricks on me, so don't blame me for being ruthless towards him!"
"Let's keep quiet for now and continue talking. But I won't spend a single penny! That damned Kitchen Knife Gang, they teamed up with Lu Chengwen to frame me, and Chen Mengyun, taking advantage of my feelings for her, has repeatedly helped Lu Chengwen swindle me..."
Bang said, "Let's just confront Lu Chengwen directly!"
Huo Wendong slapped Mang on the back of the head repeatedly: "Come out! Come out! Come out! Come out! Do you know what their purpose is? Didn't you hear them say that their real target isn't that piece of land by the sea?"
"What should we do then? What will happen in a little while?"
Huo Wendong laughed: "Lu Chengwen is playing hide-and-seek with me, stabbing me in the back. Don't blame me for being ruthless! Let's go! Let's see what they're up to!"
……
conference hall.
Huo Wendong smiled and casually sat down. He saw the sect leader smile, and he saw Chen Mengyun also smile.
In his mind: You bunch of bastards! You tricked me! I'll kill you all!
Chen Mengyun also smiled and sat down, watching the sect leader smile and Huo Wendong smile as well.
Thinking to himself: Huo Wendong must have fallen into a trap. Luckily, the Huo family has Huo Wendong, otherwise Brother Cheng Wen would probably have a hard time establishing himself in Xuecheng.
The sect leader also smiled and sat down, seeing Chen Mengyun smile, and seeing Huo Wendong smile too.
Thinking to himself: Hmm, this setup is fine. Chen Mengyun is getting impatient and will keep raising the price. Hey, if she raises the price, then Huo Wendong has to raise it too! I need to find that highest price!
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter in unison.
The sect leader rubbed his thigh with his palm: "Oh dear! Logically speaking, you are all my friends, and it should be a pleasure to discuss business together. However, there is only one plot of land. To be honest, I spent a lot of money to buy this land. If I ask for too little, I will suffer a huge loss and be sorry to my ancestors. But if I ask for too much, I will feel sorry for my friends."
The sect leader smiled and said, "President Chen."
Chen Mengyun smiled and said, "Sect Leader."
"You just said you'd invest two billion, right? Wow, two billion is a lot... How about this, you spend five billion to buy this land outright, what do you say?"
After the sect leader finished speaking, he looked at Huo Wendong: "Let's see if you panic! If you can offer six hundred million or seven hundred million, we'll make a deal!"
Chen Mengyun smiled and said, "Sect Leader, let's not beat around the bush in front of celebrities. It's only natural for you to pursue maximum profit. Everyone knows that the Huo family is wealthier than us. Since we're friends, it's not good to ruin our friendship for business. Besides, no matter what price I offer, President Huo will definitely offer more. So, Xiangyun will not get involved in this matter. You can talk to President Huo. I'm withdrawing."
The sect leader was taken aback.
Holy crap!? It's already logged out!?
Aren't you going to try to lift it up a bit? Why don't you give it a shot?
The sect leader was embarrassed: "No, Mr. Chen, we were just talking, weren't we? Since it's business, of course it's something that's discussed. You..."
"Master!"
Huo Wendong declared loudly, "Doing business is important, but friends are even more important!"
The sect leader's heart skipped a beat and he panicked.
He sensed that subtle atmosphere, as if the energy here had changed!
Huo Wendong said, "Mengyun is my college classmate, and she's a girl. How can I pressure her too much? Here's the deal: you two discuss the business, and I'll withdraw! It's just a business deal, I'd rather not do business at all than let my friends be ungrateful!"
The sect leader panicked.
You quit too!?
Chen Mengyun seemed surprised: "President Huo, don't you value this land very much?"
Huo Wendong sneered, thinking to himself, "What are you pretending for! You're helping Lu Chengwen, teaming up with this old geezer to screw me over! Do you really think I don't know?!"
At this moment, the strategist leaned over and said, "President Huo, this is a great opportunity! Chen Mengyun has withdrawn, let's take her down in one fell swoop!"
Huo Wendong looked at the strategist and suddenly understood.
I told you... things wouldn't be that simple!
It was you, you bastard!
Those bastards from Skynet! They said they were cooperating with me, but behind my back, he was flirting with Lu Chengwen!
Huo Wendong looked at the strategist: "Aren't you disappointed that I'm withdrawing?"
The strategist thought to himself, "How novel! I've put in so much effort, and I was just one step away from success. What nonsense are you spouting?"
The strategist pulled Huo Wendong aside: "Mr. Huo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! What's wrong? Give him some money and let's get this land!"
Huo Wendong laughed and said, "I can't help it, I'm just too good to my friends, too loyal."
Then he shouted, "I'm not buying it!"
Chen Mengyun stood up: "Sect Leader, you talk to President Huo. I, Chen Mengyun, am withdrawing from this deal!"
Huo Wendong also said loudly, "Sect Leader, you talk to President Chen. I absolutely do not want this land!"
Chen Mengyun: "I will absolutely not touch this land again!"
Huo Wendong: "I would rather die than pay a single penny!"
Chen Mengyun: "For my friend's sake, if I ever argue with President Huo again, I'll get out of the North and never come back!"
Huo Wendong gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "For my friends! If I give even a single penny, may my whole family die, may I lie dead in the street, and may I be despised and trampled by thousands until I turn into mincemeat!"
The sect leader panicked: "What...what are you doing! No..."
Chen Mengyun stood up and left, saying, "Farewell, Mengyun. Sect Leader, you two continue your conversation."
Huo Wendong also said, "Wendong is leaving now. I wish you a pleasant cooperation!"
The sect leader stumbled after them, grabbing two people along with him: "Oh dear, this... what a surprise..."
"No...we can talk about something, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this..."
The strategist pulled Huo Wendong aside: "Mr. Huo, what's wrong? How can you give up such a good opportunity like this?!"
Huo Wendong spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Jun Shi's face: "You traitorous dog! Get out!"
