Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Deceiving Ghosts [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

The system said with a slight embarrassment, ”I mean, about live streaming, you see, isn’t it, right? We should really get it going. The live streaming industry in this world has just started, and they don’t know how to play. It’s boring to watch.”

”You just want to see female streamers show off their legs, don’t you?” Lu Xiaobu suddenly realized, then stroked his chin and revealed the same smile: ”Indeed, it’s quite nice to watch.”

”See? We really click,” the system chuckled.

But Lu Xiaobu changed the subject, ”However, speak up, consider this you issuing a mission, what’s in it for me?”

”What are you talking about? Haven’t I told you? Let’s discuss this! Why do you go back on your word so quickly?” The system wasn’t happy.

”What’s the matter? You’re not happy with me doing you a favor? Then forget it, I have my pride, I’ll go for real.” Lu Xiaobu curled his lip as he spoke.

”Fine, fine, fine, I knew I shouldn’t have said so much to you, dammit.” The system rolled its eyes, ”How about this? You’ve always had the dream of becoming a Knight, how about I get you a Cultivation Technique?”

”That works.” Lu Xiaobu immediately grinned, ”Deal.”

”Then I’m diving back in, I’ll just read novels for a few more days to hold myself over.” The system disappeared after speaking.

”Young Master, are we going home now?” Zhang Meng asked.

”No, let’s find an IT company.” Lu Xiaobu said.

”IT company? Young Master, are you going to?” Liang Lan heard and hurriedly asked.

”That’s right, buy a company to play with.” Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily.

To get into live streaming, you definitely need a streaming platform first.

And about that streaming platform, he didn’t want to just acquire one.

After all, live streaming in this world had just begun.

Plus, he would still need to integrate it with smartphones.

Too troublesome!

So, might as well directly buy an IT company, and have it built from scratch according to his requirements.

”Alright.”

Liang Lan nodded and began to look for a company that met the Young Master’s demands.

There was no need to ponder; the Young Master would certainly want the best company.

She thought she might as well ask the Young Master these days about acquiring such a company.

After all, ever since the Shadow Power smartphone was launched, every industry was scrambling to get involved with smartphones.

And so, IT companies became a hot commodity overnight.

Therefore, if Young Master Bu, who controls Shadow Power, started doing IT, it would simply be a profitable industry.

A moment later.

A company that met the requirements appeared before Liang Lan’s eyes.

”Young Master, ZTech IT is not bad. Before our Shadow Power launched in the PC era, they were also well-known in the IT world for their efficiency and quality.”

Liang Lan brought up the company’s details on her Shadow Power.

”No need to look, that’s the one.”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t sweat it.

They sped all the way to ZTech IT.

And Tian Xuning, the boss of ZTech — upon hearing that Lu Xiaobu was coming — hurriedly waited downstairs early.

Those in IT knew that whoever got the Lu Family’s Shadow Power smartphone programming permit would rise in the industry.

Now they had the advantage of being close to the water and were the first to get the moon, so they were eager to serve.

Upstairs, the programmers who worked overtime continuously saw this scene, each of them with dark circles under their eyes, stretched lazily, and sighed with relief.

”Aye, Tian the Skinflint is finally not watching us, we can rest for a bit now.”

”Who’s the visitor that even ’Tian the Skinflint’ personally welcomes?”

”Who cares who it is! As long as I can rest for a bit. Keep going at this pace, and I’ll drop dead from exhaustion.”

”Exactly, no overtime pay, but still demanding us to produce? Dream on, take it slow. Whether you finish a day earlier or later, it’s all the same measly amount.”

”Xiao Wang, any coffee left? Pour me a cup.”

”None left, we’ve finished it all. Old Li, why don’t you go buy some?”

”Buy my foot, I’m going to take a two-minute nap first. Call me when Tian the Skinflint comes up.”

”Ask Old Zhang to call you, Tian the Skinflint assigned Old Zhang to do the welcoming, to show our team spirit. Really, unbelievable.”

”...”

Squeak—

With a faint screech of the brakes, Lu Xiaobu’s limousine came to a stop at the entrance of the office building.

Zhang Meng got out of the car, opened the door.

Lu Xiaobu and his party streamed out.

”Welcome, Young Master Bu. I am Tian Xuning, the boss of Zhicheng IT. I’m honored that Young Master Bu has come to offer his guidance.”

Tian Xuning quickly stepped forward to greet him, gesturing for him to proceed.

”Let’s go, let’s go up and have a look.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded and led everyone up the stairs, following Tian Xuning.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the office immediately erupted into a flurry of activity.

At the doorway, standing watch and ready to show off their spirit, Old Zhang immediately warned.

”Tian the Skinflayer is coming up, quick, wake up Old Li.”

”Hurry, stop playing possum or you’ll get your wages docked.”

”Old Zhang, get moving on that progress, just type anything.”

...

Whoosh—

The glass door was pushed open.

And now, this was the scene presented in front of Lu Xiaobu and his entourage.

”Xiaozhang, how’s that code coming along?”

”I think it still needs some more editing.”

”Alright, edit it then, and give it to me quickly, I’m in a rush.”

...

Seeing this, Tian Xuning nodded in satisfaction and proudly introduced to Lu Xiaobu: ”Young Master Bu, this is the spirit of our company. We fear no hardship or fatigue, everything is for the interests of the company. If you have any projects you want to work on, please choose us.”

Then he pointed to Old Zhang at the doorway, saying: ”This is the essence of my team, look at him, isn’t his spirit great? Enterprising, optimistic, proactive at work.”

Hearing Tian Xuning’s words, the company also began to buzz with excitement.

”Young Master Bu?”

”Could it be Lu Xiaobu?”

”No way! Lu Xiaobu is visiting our company?”

...

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and immediately interrupted Tian Xuning: ”Shut up. I’ll ask myself.”

He was here to buy the company, so he might as well take a look at the company’s spirit.

”Is the work tiring?”

Lu Xiaobu looked at Old Zhang, who looked well into his forties, nearly fifty, and asked.

”Not tiring at all, it’s good.”

Old Zhang answered immediately, with a strong and energetic voice.

Tian Xuning nodded right away—although Old Zhang was a bit slow-witted, his spirit was the best in the company, no question about it.

Then...

”Oh? How old are you?”

”Twenty-four!”

”Pfft!”

Lu Xiaobu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood three kilometers away!

Damn it.

A twenty-four-year-old guy looks like he’s in his forties, you tell me the pressure isn’t high? Pull the other one!

Yes, his spirit is strong, because his life is damn over!

”Everyone, look up,” Lu Xiaobu said.

Indeed, a group of panda eyes appeared.

All of them with dark circles under their eyes, clearly a sign of overwork.

”Tian, is this the spirited appearance you spoke of?” Lu Xiaobu asked rolling his eyes.

”Cough cough cough, well, that’s unavoidable. Let’s talk business.”

Tian Xuning said somewhat awkwardly.

This sort of thing is the norm in the IT industry; he didn’t think much of it.

He assumed Lu Xiaobu would just take a quick look and leave it at that, but he didn’t expect him to delve into this matter.

Really, it’s like unnecessary worrying over eating a bland turnip, you’re not their boss, as long as they can produce results for you, right?

The next second...
