Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Come, Call Uncle [Please favorite, Please recommend]

Throughout the whole process, confused as can be, Zhang Benhu said in a low voice, ”How about it? Young Master Bu, satisfied? If so, may we step aside to talk?”

His voice, though he was trying hard to suppress it, could not help but reveal his anger and humiliation!

Who is Zhang Benhu?

Back when he was but a weak sapling, he could stand firm against the wealthiest person in the city.

Yet now, this great tree of him, stronger by countless times than before, had to bow his head in front of this wasteful man amidst the crowd!

Humiliation, such humiliation!

But!

He had no choice but to do so!

In the past, the Liu Family was merely wielding a sharp knife to prune the branches of his great tree.

But this wasteful man was pouring sulfuric acid on his roots!

The pain was unbearable!

Each second night, his great tree came one second closer to withering away!

”Alright then,” Lu Xiaobu said with a shrug.

Under Li Fucheng’s guidance, they arrived at the conference room.

”I’ll cut to the chase.” As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Benhu couldn’t wait to say, ”This time, the Zhang Family admits defeat. Name your price. How can you be magnanimous?”

Lu Xiaobu: ”Sister Lan...”

”No need for others, I, will only talk with you,” Zhang Benhu said solemnly, his tiger-like eyes staring into Lu Xiaobu’s, ”In my life, I’ve acknowledged only a few people, but you count as one! Today is to make a friend. No matter how outrageous your demands are, I’ll accept!”

Liang Lan was shocked—Zhang Benhu was a figure of great power, and now he actually acknowledged Young Master Bu? He was willing to treat Young Master Bu as an equal?

”Dad!” Zhang Wenliang was stunned.

How could this be?

His dad was actually going to treat Lu Xiaobu, this wasteful man, as an equal?

What merit or ability did this wasteful man have?

”Shut up!” Zhang Benhu slapped Zhang Wenliang across the face, ”You have no right to speak here!”

This was a real slap!

”Oh?” Lu Xiaobu laughed, ”So we are peers now?”

”Yes,” Zhang Benhu said earnestly.

”Then should Zhang Wenliang call me uncle?” Lu Xiaobu chuckled.

”Correct, Wenliang, call him,” Zhang Benhu said coldly.

”Dad...”

”Call! Him!”

”Uncle... uncle... uncle!”

Zhang Wenliang’s face was filled with humiliation as he called out reluctantly!

He, the illustrious Young Master Zhang, had to call this wasteful man uncle?

”Good boy!” Lu Xiaobu chuckled and immediately agreed, ”When you go out, just mention your uncle’s name. I’ve got your back.”

”Thank him!” Zhang Benhu scolded.

”Thanks! Uncle! Uncle!” Zhang Wenliang said, shaking with anger.

”So how about we discuss the serious matter at hand?” said Zhang Benhu.

”Nevermind, since the kid has called me uncle, let’s call it even,” Lu Xiaobu said happily waving his hand, ”Sister Lan, tell our guys to back off.”

”Okay,” Liang Lan nodded and issued the order to the navy.

”As for the rest of the recovery of losses, I won’t be involved!” Lu Xiaobu said with a shrug, ”I’m leaving.”

”Wait, Young Master Bu, since you’ve been gracious, I’m not that ungrateful. How about I give you this Night Drunkenness Bar as a return gift?” Zhang Benhu took out a transfer document and handed it over.

The Night Drunkenness Bar, valued at six million!

Now given away for free!

Zhang Benhu’s heart was bleeding!

But he had no choice but to offer a compensatory smile!

Liang Lan was startled, calculating in her heart—well, Young Master Bu’s wasteful antics have made money again! 4.8 million earned! My heavens!

”Alright, then I’ll accept it.”

After seeing Liang Lan nod, Lu Xiaobu happily signed his name.

A bar, whether as a guest or an owner, is always a great place to waste money!

Lu Xiaobu walked to the door, suddenly turned back with a grin and looked at Zhang Wenliang: ”Come on, big nephew, shout it one more time!”

”Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Are you satisfied now?!!” Zhang Wenliang shouted with bloodshot eyes!

”Awesome!” Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily and left with a swagger!

Previously arrogant Zhang Wenliang became his nephew, and he felt extremely satisfied about it!

...

”Dad! Why! Why! Why do you sit on an equal footing with him? Why do I have to call him Uncle? Why give him the bar?”

Zhang Wenliang yelled with eyes reddened: ”It was he who wrecked our bar, snatched Liang Lan, took Li Jin away, smashed my car, and even forced our Zhang Family into a crisis! Facing such an enemy, yet we have to grovel?”

”Why? You f*cking tell me why?” Zhang Benhu raised his hand, shouting furiously: ”Isn’t it all because of you, you little bastard? You think I want to?”

”Dad! Even if you have to beat me to death today, I must hear the answer!” Zhang Wenliang said with red eyes and gasping for breath.

Today was the most humiliating day of his life, without a doubt!

This good-for-nothing kept humiliating him over and over, and now he even became his uncle!

”Fine! Then I’ll tell you! I won’t hit you, but if you think what I say makes sense, punish yourself!”

Zhang Benhu glared: ”Why sit on an equal level with him? What did I call him in front of an assembly of people previously? Young Master! Which position do you think is better? Junior or an equal?”

”Slap!”

Zhang Wenliang slapped his own face, and the fresh red mark of five fingers appeared immediately!

He accepted this punishment!

”Why do you have to call him Uncle? The root of all the conflicts our Zhang Family is facing now lies with you! You won’t yield? You won’t bend? Do you want the Zhang Family to go down with you?!”

Zhang Benhu grew even more furious, and punched the wall next to him: ”Only by your bowing down, can we make Lu Xiaobu happy and get him to let us off! Disgrace to our family door, such a disgrace!”

”Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!”

Zhang Wenliang alternated left and right, turning his cheeks red and swollen, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!

It was all his fault, and he deserved punishment!

Seeing his own son like this, a flicker of heartache passed through Zhang Benhu’s eyes, but he still steeled his heart: ”And why give him the Night Drunken Love? This time our Zhang Family is in a crisis of trust, and the forefront of it is the bar business, with Night Drunken Love suffering the heaviest losses!”

”Rather than keeping it, it’s better to hand it over to Lu Xiaobu!”

”And whether he likes it or not, once he takes over Night Drunken Love, he’ll have to shoulder part of the responsibility for this trust crisis, and find a solution!”

”Use the terrifying power that nearly destroyed our Zhang Family!”

”This will allow the Zhang Family to recover quickly and not be so severely weakened that we can’t rally back!”

After saying that, Zhang Benhu strode away from there.

”Slap! Slap! Slap!”

All that was left were the echoing sounds of crisp slaps!

The sounds of despair and regret!

The great Zhang Family was actually brought low by a wastrel!

...

”Sister Lan, go buy some cars for me. One with the fastest speed, one with the best look, and one the most comfortable, the biggest one. Then, Sister Lan, let Zhang Meng, Li Xide, Qianmin, each of them pick one.”

Lu Xiaobu said while drinking juice, arranging the purchases—it seemed not just familiarity is needed, but a round of lottery is in order, as he was getting tired of drinking juice every day.

”Alright, Young Master.” Liang Lan went to handle it.

Lu Xiaobu glanced at the displayed wasteful amount on the system, about one hundred and twenty million, which was just spent on dealing with the Zhang Family and that Lan Cai!

He thought it over, buying cars counts as wasting money, no need to worry about attribute points, might as well try his luck first!

”System, time for a lottery draw, you better cheat for me, I want the cola formula, if you don’t give it to me I’ll harass you every day! Curse you every day! Everyday...”

Lu Xiaobu uttered the guaranteed lottery spell—who made the system such a lazy thing?

”Fuck this shit, take it and get lost!” the system cursed, and threw the cola formula at Lu Xiaobu.

”Hehehe!” Lu Xiaobu looked at the cola formula and let out an unscrupulous laugh!
