Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Auntie, I Respect You as a True Man [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

Because Zhang Meng’s mother was also in this hospital, Lu Xiaobu brought everyone along to visit her.

”Mom, this is the Young Master.” Zhang Meng introduced as he looked at his mother.

”Benefactor.” Upon hearing this, Zhang’s mother struggled to get up.

”Auntie, please stay lying down, lie down.” Lu Xiaobu hurriedly stopped her: ”Because of me, Zhang Meng couldn’t stay by your side to take care of you, you won’t blame me, right?”

”No, no, I can’t, you are the benefactor who saved a life!” Zhang’s mother hurriedly said, ”My son is too honest and inept. If he does anything wrong, feel free to beat or scold him as needed. If he dares to retaliate, I will disown him.”

”Uh...” Lu Xiaobu was stunned.

”Young Master, don’t mind her, my mom just talks like that,” Zhang Meng laughed. ”Just last night, when I just got back, she was already chasing me out.”

”Uh, Auntie, I salute you like a true man!” Lu Xiaobu gave a big thumbs up.

”Uh...” Now it was Zhang’s mother’s turn to be confused—what was that about?

After a moment...

”Pfft, hahahaha!”

Everyone burst into laughter; Young Master Bu truly knew how to be amusing.

”Zhang Meng, hire a caregiver for Auntie and move her to a private room. Since you can’t be by her side, someone needs to take care of her.” After finishing laughing, Lu Xiaobu arranged.

”Benefactor, I...” Upon hearing this, Zhang’s mother hurriedly wanted to say something.

”Mom, these are Young Master’s orders! If you don’t listen, I’ll just...” Zhang Meng gestured helplessly.

”Well... okay.” Zhang’s mother had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Meng immediately grinned, showing all his big teeth—he had money now, so how could he not honor his mother? But with her stubborn temperament, she would never agree before; well, now that the Young Master has spoken, what can you do!

After arranging everything for Zhang’s mother, the group headed towards the bar, as for that car.

Zhang Meng called Li Jin to ask him to sell it again.

Over the phone, Zhang Meng could almost see Li Jin’s utterly aggrieved expression, like that of a deeply wronged woman.

This made him chuckle mischievously.

He seemed to have really picked up some bad habits.

...

Meanwhile, online there appeared some reports, all about this luxury car rescue incident.

”Wealth Doesn’t Make One Forget Their Roots, A Model of Wealth”

”Human Life is Above All, Wealth Does Not Mislead the Heart”

”Paper Note Hero? A Fun-loving Good Samaritan”

...

This time there was no need for paid internet trolls, yet the news was spreading rapidly.

”Well done.”

”No need for many words, just leave a Like!”

”This is what the Great Heavenly Dynasty is all about, who says there are no good people in our Great Heavenly Dynasty?”

”...”

After the traffic police’s official Weibo posted a statement, it even further boosted the sentiment.

”The rescue incident is confirmed to be true, the child has been treated and is now out of danger, please rest assured. However, the act of rescuing was reckless, hence we neither penalize nor commend it, here is the surveillance video!”

After netizens watched the surveillance video, they further praised.

”This wasn’t just one good person, but all were good folks! Those drivers were also good people.”

”I think everyone has experienced traffic jams. Under those circumstances, to forcefully make way is not easy.”

”Yes, this world is indeed a warm place!”

”...”

Certainly, there were also some different opinions.

Weibo celebrity Li Qinglei—

”First of all, I want to make it clear, this is a good deed, undoubtedly praiseworthy. Regardless of what motives were behind it, saving a life is definitely a commendable act.”

”And I don’t know if everyone has noticed, although this person does good deeds anonymously and even keeps his face hidden, he has been shouting a name, a place name—Night Drunk Love Bar.”

”And what happened at this bar? Everyone can find out by searching online #Night Drunk Love Bar#, it was recently named as a gang hideout.”

”So here comes the question, is this act of saving someone just a show?”

”A life-saving act without real kindness, while still commendable, is it worth promoting?”

With the release of Zhang Qinglei’s Weibo, because it mentioned two hot topics, it instantly caught the public’s eye.

Now, the direction of online opinion started to shift, becoming somewhat indecisive.

”It seems to make some sense.”

”If it really was a rescuing act just for show, it feels quite uncomfortable!”

”Exactly, can’t someone just save people purely?”

”...”

In Shimen Zhang Family, Zhang Benhu and Zhang Wenliang were watching the news.

”Did you see that? Now you understand the terrifying impact Lu Xiaobu has caused us,” Zhang Benhu said to Zhang Wenliang with a tone of disappointed expectation: ”Even a life-saving act can’t redeem Night Drunk Love’s reputation, nor can it save our Zhang Family’s reputation.”

”Yes, father, I was wrong,” Zhang Wenliang said, ashamedly lowering his head.

”According to my analysis, the savior must be Lu Xiaobu. Now, as long as Lu Xiaobu comes out to clarify and uses his influence, this matter will be settled, and even our Zhang Family can breathe a sigh of relief, you know people’s perspective is always blurry,” said Zhang Benhu.

”But does Lu Xiaobu have that kind of influence?” Zhang Wenliang still had his doubts: ”You know, these things are without proof. If Li Qinglei insists that this act was just for show, then Lu Xiaobu can’t do anything either.”

”Ah, you, you’re still too naive. Although it’s somewhat embarrassing to praise others while pulling us down, let me show you the power of the three words Lu Xiaobu on the internet,” Zhang Benhu sighed and opened Weibo.

Zhang Benhu: ”I am Zhang Benhu, just before the rescue incident, I had sold the Night Drunk Love Bar to Lu Xiaobu, so this rescuing act is unrelated to my Zhang Family. We will not make a show out of this. The previous mistakes did exist, and we will correct them, please everyone supervise. @Li Qinglei”

Once this Weibo was released...

It took less than a second...

Li Qinglei’s previous Weibo was no longer to be found, deleted by himself.

And he posted a new Weibo: ”Long live Young Master Bu, long live saving lives, Young Master Bu is a great good person, I believe, Young Master Bu is absolutely doing pure rescuing, I am just a jerk! Please ignore this!”

In a room, Li Qinglei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, fearfully saying, ”Motherf*cker, that scared me to death, it was Young Master Bu! I was indeed courting death, not even bloggers like Delicious Life can withstand Lu Xiaobu’s attack, I truly walked around the Ghost Gate once again!”

He is involved in the internet, knowing more about the Lu Family army’s news than others, and he knew the principles of the Lu Family army.

1. Young Master Bu is always right.

2. The Lu Family army is the ultimate justice.

The above two are easy to say, but the key is the third rule. If the first and the second conflict, the first rule prevails.

That means if Young Master Bu wants to target him, regardless if what he says is the truth or not, he could be in pain like Delicious Life in just a minute.

Li Qinglei’s face-slapping Weibo spread immediately on the internet!

”HAHAHAHA, I was saying, it’s Lu Xiaobu! HAHAHA, long live Young Master Bu, long live the wastrel!”

”Long live the wastrel! Keep up the formation!”

”Long live the wastrel!”

”...”

Zhang Wenliang watching this sudden change in online sentiment, was dumbfounded: ”How is this possible? Just a name, and it easily changed people’s opinions?”

”Now you see,” Zhang Benhu sighed, ”And this is just from us talking. If it was Lu Xiaobu speaking personally, it would be a hundred times more terrifying. Right, now go to Night Drunk Love. Lu Xiaobu just took over Night Drunk Love, there will definitely be trouble, make sure you assist him well.”

”Why should I...” Zhang Wenliang puzzled.

Zhang Benhu cut off Zhang Wenliang’s words, pointing at his Weibo and said, ”Look for yourself.”

The comments below Zhang Benhu’s Weibo read:

”Not bad, not greedy for credit, the attitude of admitting mistakes is sincere, it seems Zhang Family is still redeemable. Though a bit less than Young Master Bu.”

”Zhang Family is good, hope you all correct yourselves, learn more from Young Master Bu.”

”With such an attitude, I believe your bar is still good, I will visit again. Of course, I’ll prioritize Young Master Bu’s bar.”

”...”

Zhang Wenliang was stunned, spiritlessly saying, ”Yes, father, I understand.”

Zhang Benhu: ”Remember to call Lu Xiaobu uncle.”

Zhang Wenliang: ”...” Damn, mushrooms!
