Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Name Your Price! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

”What do you mean!?”

The host instantly bristled: ”Although you are number one on the Newcomer Rich List, you can’t insult our Golden Fire Award like this.”

”Are you in charge here? If not, get lost, you’re not qualified to speak to me!”

Lu Xiaobu sneered, looking down at the host!

The host’s face turned green instantly!

But he couldn’t refute at all!

He was just a host, unqualified from all aspects to speak with Lu Xiaobu!

And he wasn’t the only one with a green face, there was another whose face turned even greener!

That was Han Meng, who had just received an award!

His face was no longer green, it was ghastly pale, utterly pale!

He hadn’t expected Lu Xiaobu to be at the event too!

He had wanted to show off a bit in Lu Xiaobu’s absence, but now...

It’s over!

Last time, because of that matter, he was scolded thoroughly!

And this time, isn’t it going to be even worse!?

Instinctively, he stood up wanting to leave the venue!

”Zhang Meng, watch the door for me, break the legs of anyone who dares to leave!”

Lu Xiaobu slightly glanced sideways and commanded.

”Yes!”

Zhang Meng shouted sternly, lifting up a large table, and with a thud, smashed it in front of the door, completely blocking it!

Han Meng, sneaking forward, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over!

”Lu Xiaobu, have you caused enough trouble? Even if you’re number one on the Newcomer Rich List, our Golden Fire Award is not a place for you to be arrogant!”

A middle-aged man in a suit with a round face and thick eyebrows walked out from backstage, his face full of anger.

Looking at the tag on his clothes, he should be one of the judges of this Golden Fire Award, named—Fang Yunlong!

”Are you in charge?”

Lu Xiaobu asked with a slight tilt of his eyes.

”Yes! I’m one of the judges, authorized to negotiate with you and demand an explanation!”

Fang Yunlong spoke furiously, righteously indignant!

”Fine, name your price!”

Lu Xiaobu turned, leaned against the podium, and took the microphone in hand.

”Name what price?”

Fang Yunlong was caught off guard by the question!

”The price for these awards! Aren’t you playing behind the scenes? Seriously, you’re idiots for not involving me. Don’t you know Young Master here isn’t short of money? Come on, name a price, I’ll take care of all the awards today!”

Once Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, everyone’s faces in the venue changed!

The faces of the judges turned from green to purple!

This was a blatant slap in their faces!

Telling them outright that Lu Xiaobu was going to buy the awards with money!

While they did have some shady deals, they shouldn’t be made public!

If backdoor deals go public, can they still be called backdoor deals?!

But underneath, people were secretly cheering.

”Young Master Bu, well done!”

”Someone needed to deal with them!”

”A group of people making a fuss over nothing, treating chicken feathers as command flags!”

”Just an award, huh? Talk money? Who has Young Master Bu ever feared?!”

”Want money, let’s give you money!”

”...”

”Sister Lan, come.”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand bringing Liang Lan forward: ”Here, make some cheques for these people.”

”Yes, Young Master!”

Liang Lan stood by Lu Xiaobu’s side.

”Fang Yunlong, right? Here, is one billion enough?”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.

Liang Lan immediately wrote a cheque for one billion and placed it in front of Fang Yunlong!

”Lu Xiaobu, don’t go too far, I am a judge of the Golden Fire Award, even a visiting professor at Emperor Electric! By seniority, you should call me Teacher Fang!”

Fang Yunlong was furious!

This was too much!

A sense of humiliation overwhelmed him!

”Sister Lan, don’t do this, this is insulting Teacher Fang!”

Lu Xiaobu picked up the cheque.

”Ah?”

The crowd was stunned. That’s it?

Did he suddenly change his behavior?

Not insulting? And even calling him Teacher Fang?

Fang Yunlong’s face slightly relaxed: ”That’s right, if you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones!”

”This thing, must be handled like this!”

Lu Xiaobu picked up the check and slapped it on Fang Yunlong’s face!

Damn, still pretending to be high and mighty!

Still my teacher?!

My ass!

”Slap!”

Being slapped with a check doesn’t hurt!

But it hurts deep inside!

The slap caused Fang Yunlong to physically shudder!

His entire body felt like it was about to have a heart attack!

”Good! That’s how it should be, and you think you deserve to be a guest professor at Emperor Electric? F*ck you, how did you even get into Emperor Electric, others might not know, but do you think I don’t? You really disgrace Emperor Electric!”

Chen Feiyang suddenly stood up, pointing at Fang Yunlong and cursing!

Fang Yunlong’s face immediately turned red: ”You! You all! Lu Xiaobu! Chen Feiyang! You!”

He was so angry he couldn’t even speak!

His lungs were about to burst!

”Oh? Looks like one billion isn’t enough? Sister Lan, five billion!”

Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck, just five billion.

Liang Lan immediately wrote another five billion check, and slapped it on Fang Yunlong’s face.

Seeing those zeros, Fang Yunlong felt immense humiliation.

But he couldn’t help but feel a surge of greed rising within him!

He was originally after money, playing behind the scenes, how could he not be excited seeing five billion!?

Five billion, it’s five billion!

He really wanted to grab the five billion and flee!

With these five billion, he wouldn’t have to worry about living for the rest of his life!

”Hehe!”

”Humph!”

A burst of cold laughter echoed through the venue.

Who were they?

They were filmmakers, people from the film industry!

Capturing expressions and intentions was the basics for them!

Thus, the moment greed appeared in Fang Yunlong’s eyes, they noticed!

Still pretending? Your true colors are showing!

”Not right!”

Hearing the cold laughter, Fang Yunlong gritted his teeth, heart bleeding as he tore the two checks to shreds: ”You are insulting me, insulting the Golden Fire Award! I will sue you! Sue you!”

”Oh? Isn’t the judgment of the Golden Fire Award based on money?”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged: ”Did I say anything wrong?”

”Nonsense! Our Golden Fire Award is fair and impartial, money is not in the scope of consideration!”

Fang Yunlong righteously said: ”We consider the comprehensive aspects of an actor, you are just causing trouble because your actor didn’t win an award, you are maliciously disrupting the order.”

”Don’t bullshit me with big hats, come on, you said comprehensive qualities, right? Let’s hear them one by one! Let me and everyone here see your judgment!”

Lu Xiaobu sneered, he really didn’t believe it!

”Alright! I—”

Fang Yunlong suddenly stuttered!

Damn it, what comprehensive qualities does Han Meng have!?

Now, he couldn’t even remember!

Seeing the sneer deepening on Lu Xiaobu’s face, Fang Yunlong gritted his teeth and without thinking, blurted out: ”He is a member of the famous boy band TXH, just the fame alone, you cannot deny that!”

Once the words were out, he was baffled!

Was he an idiot?

Talking about fame in a movie award?

What difference does it have with comparing good looks in a boxing ring!

It seems he already heard the mockery from the audience!

But since it had come to this, there was no choice but to face it head-on!

”That’s right, it’s fame, as a young man, you must have heard of TXH!” Fang Yunlong said through gritted teeth.

”TXH? Never heard of them! Are they male or female? Or neither?”

Lu Xiaobu’s indifferent remark instantly set the whole venue ablaze!
