——————————————————————————————

After such a stir caused by an outsider, many people began to believe in the charm of the boiled cabbage in plain water, and they poured into the Lu Family restaurant, filling the not-so-large dining area to the brim.

Of course, at most, there were just under a hundred people, so with thousands of onlookers, having about a hundred come to dine seems like the conversion rate isn’t that high.

But this was enough to make Xu Yi ecstatic.

After all, the boiled cabbage in plain water wasn’t originally meant for the general public; its price was not something ordinary people could afford. Getting one customer was considered a win, each one was a profit!

And the fatty before was eating with utter delight.

Lu Xiaobu was full and satisfied, patting his stomach: ”Damn, that’s great, let’s go, go, go, time to blow money on cars!”

However, Wu Qianmin’s expression wasn’t looking too well, passing over the phone: ”Xiaobu, take a look at this.”

”What’s up?” Lu Xiaobu took the phone, glanced at it, and his face turned sour, full of annoyance: ”WQNMLGB! Which son of a b**** is talking nonsense?”

The phone screen prominently displayed the Weibo trending search.

”Rip-off boiled cabbage in plain water, astonishingly priced at 998”

”Rich but unkind, a scourge to the community, source of the wastrel’s extravagance”

”Yumian Chilong personally visits the scene, denounces deceitful practices, Lu family turns a blind eye”

Several Weibo posts used incredibly venomous language to describe the boiled cabbage in plain water as a forceful sale, exploiting consumers, and they linked this issue with Lu Xiaobu’s wasteful behavior, accusing the Lu family of funding Lu Xiaobu’s extravagance with such methods!

Not only that, but Weibo also had photos of Yumian Chilong and their group’s previous disbelief in the taste of the boiled cabbage in plain water.

In the photo, Yumian Chilong’s and the bystanders’ anger was clearly visible.

With pictures comes undeniable truth, it truly can’t be washed away even if one jumped into the Yellow River.

And these few Weibo posts, in a short span of time, rapidly reached over a hundred thousand shares online, and topics on the Lu family wastrel and being rich but unkind surged up the trending list rapidly.

Many big V’s re-shared these Weibo posts.

Among them, the most fierce and harsh one was the gourmet blogger — ”Taste of Life”.

Taste of Life: ”My dear followers, this Lu family is really too deplorable, especially that wastrel Lu Xiaobu, who’s always committing all sorts of evil, a scourge to the community.”

”At first, I thought the Lu family only had this one bad seed, but now it seems, like father like son, if the beam is not straight the shadow will slant. They dare to price a clear and simple boiled cabbage in plain water at 998, do they think everyone else is a fool?”

”I suggest, let’s boycott the Lu family altogether, especially that wastrel Lu Xiaobu! This kind of rich but unkind person doesn’t deserve to earn money, let them experience the life of the poor.”

The comments section turned upside down.

First floor: ”F*** the Lu family, I’ve heard of that wastrel’s reputation long ago, total scum.”

Second floor: ”Indeed, as they say, a rat’s son will make holes.”

Third floor: ”Boycott the malicious Lu family, let them go bankrupt and see how hard it is to earn money legitimately!”

Fourth floor: ”No wonder that Lu Xiaobu is so skinny, I reckon it’s all due to the misdeeds he’s done, karma!”

”...”

”Hey, fatty, do you still have a face?!” Li Qiang, fuming with rage, walked up to the fatty: ”You ate so happily, and still go online to spread rumors?”

”Huh?” The fatty looked completely dumbfounded, quickly checked his phone, and cursed furiously: ”Who the hell is this? When did I ever say such things? I was eating so joyfully, when did I ever denounce anything?”

”Alright, it probably wasn’t him, but still, having him make a clarification is necessary.”

Zhou Jingyuan shook her head, anger also apparent in her eyes: ”Otherwise, if this goes on unchecked, it will likely severely affect the Lu family’s reputation and could even plunge the Lu family into a crisis of trust.”

Wu Qianmin asked worriedly: ”What should we do? No idea who could be this vicious. If the misunderstanding isn’t cleared up, it could turn problematic. It would then be tough for Uncle Lu and the others to do business.”

”Exactly, you’re right,” Xu Yi also voiced his concerns: ”Looks like it’s a competitor. It seems we should contact the boss; this is beyond us.”

”By the way, Young Master Bu, what are your thoughts?”

Xu Yi continued to inquire, although he knew Young Master Bu didn’t handle affairs, it was out of respect to ask him nonetheless.

”Huh? What should I do?” Lu Xiaobu looked up, fuming with anger: ”Curse him! Son of a bitch! Dares to insult me? And to insult my family?”

Calling him a good-for-nothing, he doesn’t care.

Calling him a curse, he’s very annoyed!

But insulting his family, saying they’re crooked? He will curse the shit out of them!

While saying that, he sent out the comment he had edited: ”f*ck your mom, shithead, your mom’s a bitch!”

”Uh...” everyone fell silent.

”Xiaobu, this isn’t okay. Even if I’m not familiar with handling this, I still know that you shouldn’t add fuel to the fire. This will only exacerbate the conflict,” said Zhou Jingyuan.

”Yeah, Young Master Bu. In the past, I saw the boss handling things gently, trying to minimize big issues and resolve small ones, letting the problem vanish into thin air,” Xu Yi also advised.

”Lu! Xiao! Bu! That’s my account,” Wu Qianmin yelled frantically.

”Handle it gently my ass, they’ve insulted me, the Young Master, and you want gentle handling?”

Lu Xiaobu slammed the table, shouting dissatisfied: ”Xu Yi, if you don’t call my brother right now, and if he doesn’t fight them to the death with a knife, I’ll call you Grandpa today!”

”Uh...” everyone went silent again.

Yeah, the Lu Family can endure business competition.

But to insult Lu Xiaobu by calling him a rat, cursed...

Better not to inform the Lu Family, otherwise, they would really fight to the death with knives!

This family is like this, Lu Xiaobu is their Achilles’ heel, and likewise, they are also Lu Xiaobu’s Achilles’ heel!

Three seconds later.

The few who were previously opposed changed their stance!

”Xiaobu, use my account however you want.”

Wu Qianmin sighed.

”Young Master Bu, should we go directly after him? I’ll grab a cleaver.”

Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves.

”Should I call and get him blacklisted?”

Zhou Jingyuan took out her phone and said.

”No need, just scold him, curse him to death!”

Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly, addressing the scumbags from class six: ”It’s time to show your skills, curse them for me, there will be a reward for doing it well!”

”At your command!” The students rejoiced—other skills they might lack, but cursing others was definitely their expertise!

...

Shimen’s wealthiest, the Liu Family.

Liu Changlong sat in his custom-made boss chair, swirling the ’88 Lafite wine in his luminous cup, watching the fifty-five-inch LCD screen in front of him.

The screen was displaying the Weibo for The Taste of Life, and as he watched the comments insulting Lu Xiaobu and the Lu Family grow, he revealed a smug smile.

”Hmph, Lu Xiaobu, dare to oppose me? I’ll let you know what the word ’death’ looks like. It was fine when I didn’t have a chance to get you, but you had to go and dig your own grave, so don’t blame me,” Liu Changlong sneered.

”Young Master Liu, The Taste of Life has noticed Wu Qianmin’s account cursing out others, they’re asking if the Lu Family has begun to strike back?” a voice came through Liu Changlong’s Bluetooth earpiece.

At the same time, on the LCD screen in front of Liu Changlong, Wu Qianmin’s comments were found among the barrage of comments, enlarged, and displayed on the screen.

Wu Qianmin: ”f*ck your mom, shithead, your mom’s a bitch!”

”Wu Qianmin? No, that’s wrong, Wu Qianmin wouldn’t speak so crudely, Lu Xiaobu is an idiot, this must have been sent by Zhou Jingyuan,” Liu Changlong looked at the vulgar words and disdainfully said:

”Tell The Taste of Life not to worry, no matter how the other side retaliates, just destroy the Lu Family’s image thoroughly in the shortest time. I want to cut off the root of Lu Xiaobu’s reckless spending!”

”At your command.” The Bluetooth earpiece once again relayed a response.

Liu Changlong sipped his wine, then placed it on the table, his face taking on a sinister smile: ”What influence in school? It’s all trivial. If I don’t act, it’s fine, but once I do, I’ll sever your roots completely, leaving you no chance to turn things around!”
