Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I’ve Disgraced Mediocrity [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]

No matter how much uproar there was on the internet, or how much attention the Xin Ye Drunken Love Nightclub received, none of it mattered to Lu Xiaobu. He covered himself with Liang Lan’s original-flavored quilt and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

The next day, under Lu Wenhao’s relentless badgering, Lu Xiaobu had no choice but to get up, get dressed, and prepare for school.

At the dining table.

”Young Master, I’m incompetent. I couldn’t find a beverage factory to acquire. I’ll go look again today,” Liang Lan said apologetically.

She had searched all night and couldn’t find a single factory for sale.

”Oh, never mind, it’s fine,” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. ”I didn’t expect these lousy beverage factories to actually be able to keep going.”

At school.

”Hold this for me, here’s 500.”

Lu Xiaobu tossed his two-tael-heavy backpack to the security guard at the gate.

”Sure, Young Master, no problem, Young Master.”

The security guard said gleefully.

”I’m leaving, won’t deal with you anymore.”

Wu Qianmin rolled her eyes on the side—this Lu Xiaobu, he couldn’t even be bothered to carry a backpack that didn’t contain a single book.

After Wu Qianmin left.

”Xiaobu, good morning.”

Suddenly, the voice of Liu Changlong, the son of a wealthy family, came from behind.

”Hmm, morning. How do you plan to rip me off?” Lu Xiaobu said casually.

”This... what do you mean ’rip you off’?” Liu Changlong seemed a bit embarrassed.

”Nonsense. We aren’t exactly good friends. You greeting me out of the blue? That’s like a weasel paying a visit to a chicken,” Lu Xiaobu said with a sneer.

”Alright, I’ll get straight to the point then,” Liu Changlong continued. ”I heard you’re looking for a beverage factory. I have one to offer, the whole package, two million. What do you say?”

”Let me calculate.” Lu Xiaobu glanced at the amount he was prepared to squander. ”Fixed price, 1.82 million.”

”Deal, it’s settled then. Here’s the address, and I’ve got the contract right here,” Liu Changlong said as he handed over the prepared contract to Lu Xiaobu.

Signing the contract, making money, arranging for his subordinates to handle the procedures, all done in one go.

With a sneer, Liu Changlong immediately left the school—he wasn’t there to attend classes anyway. His task for the day was just to swindle Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu called Liang Lan: ”Sister Lan, I bought the factory, you can go check it out.”

After hanging up the phone.

”Ah, what an ordinary day.”

Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, feeling relieved that he had finally paid off his debt.

The security guard nearby heard his words...

Looked at Lu Xiaobu, who spent 1.8 million in a minute...

Then looked at the ordinary students beside him discussing what to eat for lunch...

And finally looked at himself, carrying a backpack for others for 500...

He collapsed.

I’m sorry, Young Master Bu, I’ve let down the ordinary!

It’s just impossible to be ordinary!

...

Heading to class.

”Hey, babe.”

Lu Xiaobu leaned on his desk, admiring Zhou Jingyuan’s starkly contrasting weapons, and greeted her.

”Go to hell.” Zhou Jingyuan, this fiery girl, rolled her eyes and pulled out a bottle of beverage called Wild Drink, tossing it to Lu Xiaobu: ”Here, this is for you.”

”What is this?” Lu Xiaobu glanced at the beverage bottle.

”This is a new drink that just came out overseas, it’s getting rave reviews abroad. It’s not yet available on the domestic market, but it’s said that the introduction has already started, so I’m letting you taste it in advance.” Zhou Jingyuan smiled: ”See, I’m good to you, aren’t I? Thinking of you whenever there’s something nice to drink.”

”Oh, now I get why Liu Changlong would sell me a beverage factory.” Lu Xiaobu shrugged in understanding.

”Beverage factory?” Zhou Jingyuan’s smile instantly froze: ”You bought it?”

”I did.”

”How much?”

”One million eight hundred and twenty thousand, pretty cheap.”

”Cheap my ass!” Zhou Jingyuan instantly flipped out: ”You prodigal son, it may look cheap now, but once this Wild Drink hits, and the market gets impacted, that factory won’t even be worth one million five hundred thousand! It’s clear that Liu Changlong is setting you up! Did you even think about it? Are you trying to piss me off?”

”Uh...” Lu Xiaobu was stunned for a moment: ”But that’s my money, isn’t it?”

”Uh...” Zhou Jingyuan felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her: ”Well, it seems so.”

”So what are you getting so worked up about?”

”I’m just bored out of my mind.”

”Do you even have balls?”

”I do! If I took them out, they’d be bigger than yours!”

”Then show me.”

”Get lost!”

Zhou Jingyuan got sidetracked by Lu Xiaobu’s retort and calmed down a bit: ”I’m going to call Liu Changlong right now, I said when in school, I’d look out for you. If that Liu Changlong dares to scam you, I won’t let him off!”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged, indifferent.

”Hey, Liu Changlong, you’ve gone too far!” Zhou Jingyuan angrily said on the call: ”Even if Lu Xiaobu is a bit dumb, you can’t scam him like that.”

Lu Xiaobu: ”...” Who’s dumb? That’s too much.

”Hey, my dear lady, you can’t just say that! A deal is a deal where both parties are willing, who scammed whom? When Lu Xiaobu was bargaining with me, I agreed pleasantly,” Liu Changlong sneered: ”Right, Lu Xiaobu?”

”Well, that’s true. He was pretty straightforward about that.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”Damn... you guys...” Zhou Jingyuan was so angry she started stamping her feet.

Fuck, one’s scamming, the other’s getting scammed, and both of you damn well seem happy about it, so I’m just a busybody meddling in other people’s business, right?

”Lady, you heard it. So, just stay out of this,” Liu Changlong scoffed: ”By the way, I’ll let you know, our Liu Family has already secured the agency rights for Wild Drink and we won’t be giving any orders to the Lu Family.”

”Oh, then I’ll also make it clear that I won’t be giving your Liu Family any orders.” Lu Xiaobu said unconcernedly.

”It seems, Lu Xiaobu, that you are full of confidence. Then let’s have a good contest and I hope you’re not just talking big to save face. Hahaha...” Liu Changlong laughed heartily, sure of his victory.

Zhou Jingyuan ended the call, glared at Lu Xiaobu with a huff: ”I’m trying to help you and you’re helping him? Who ends up being scammed?”

As she got angrier, her breathing intensified, and the enormous motions at her chest became more intense, drawing Lu Xiaobu’s eyes wide — even though he had seen it several times, it was still impressively big.

”Chill out, it’s no big deal,” Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly — with a cola formula in hand, he feared no challenge from any beverage.

”Lu! Xiaobu! I’m done with you!” Zhou Jingyuan was so angry, she sat back down and started furiously poking at the paper with her pen: ”Nosy, nosy, just too damn nosy...”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged, opened the Wild Drink Zhou Jingyuan had just given him, and took a sip...

Pfft—

He sprayed it all over the guy sitting in front of him.

”What the hell is this monstrosity? Have foreigners’ taste buds all gone haywire? So sweet it clogs the throat, and they call this a beverage?” Lu Xiaobu quickly grabbed some mineral water to rinse his mouth while saying to the person in front: ”Here’s five hundred bucks, for my apology.”

”Thanks, Young Master Bu.” The person in front was thrilled: ”Young Master, today my hair is all yours, spray it whenever you like!”

”Get lost.” Lu Xiaobu laughed and cursed.

He opened Weibo — he was going to give this shitty drink a piece of his mind!
