Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 295: Chapter 294: 100 Times, Oh 100 Times [1st Update, Please Subscribe]

Wu Qianmin finally went through a lot of trouble to drag Wu Yuanren back to the company.

It was as if her old man had gone haywire, becoming addicted to leaping around.

Back at the company.

Wu Yuanren took the lead in cleaning up all the wine bottles in the room, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to enter.

”Uncle Wu, you don’t have to be so formal.”

Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.

”It’s the least I can do, now that you’re my boss.”

Wu Yuanren said with a chuckle.

Seeing Brain Black Gold come back to life, his own spirit was similarly revived.

”Don’t you think the commercial is brain-dead?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Brain-dead, still think it’s brain-dead, but brain-dead ads work miracles!”

Wu Yuanren asked excitedly, ”Xiaobu, how did you know this ad would take off like this?”

”The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.”

Lu Xiaobu said mysteriously.

”Alright, alright, if you won’t tell, you won’t tell. Anyway, I’ve decided, I’m not changing the ad for the next five years, we’ll stick with this one.”

Wu Yuanren didn’t pry any further.

”Ahem, who was it that said if the sales went up they’d do something?”

Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, jesting while staring at Wu Yuanren’s head.

He certainly couldn’t pretend not to have heard the outrageous pledges made earlier.

”Oh, if the sales go up, I’ll take Wu Qianmin to your family to ask for your hand in marriage.”

Wu Yuanren immediately ’sold’ his daughter without hesitation.

After all, his daughter also liked Lu Xiaobu, might as well seize the opportunity and settle it all.

”Huh?!”

Lu Xiaobu was baffled, this was not what they had agreed upon!

”Dad!”

Wu Qianmin stomped her foot with her face flushed and turned to run away!

This damn old man, always so concerned about face, yet he ’sells’ his daughter so casually.

”Go, go, go, you go on with your business, I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore.”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively and rolled his eyes.

After all, Wu Yuanren was his uncle; he shouldn’t be too harsh.

There has to be a limit.

...

Now in the advertising and business worlds, they all recognize the power of Lu Xiaobu’s commercial.

But the general public outside doesn’t know yet.

They are all in a love-hate phase right now.

That is, verbally bashing the brain-dead commercial, decrying it as an eyesore, yet they can’t help but carry Brain Black Gold home, and some even want to vie for the million-dollar prize.

On Weibo.

”Again?”

”The brain-dead ad is playing on TV again!”

”Oh my goodness! Young Master Bu, please spare me! How many ads is that today? Now in my dreams, whenever someone mentions Brain Black Gold, I can jump up and do a Bazah Black!”

”The commercial is so crummy!”

”Yeah, I’ve never seen anything so crummy!”

”Brain Black Gold Company really has guts, how can they dare to use such an ad?”

Ordinary people were cursing, and some so-called ’professionals’ were also cursing!

These so-called ’professionals’ are those who think they’ve made a couple of commercials, or even just participated in some minor aspects of production—the so-called ’experts’!

As the saying goes, a full bottle doesn’t make a sound, a half-filled one clinks loudly!

Real advertising companies have already kneeled down and called Lu Xiaobu ’Daddy’!

But these half-filled bottles have instead become arrogant!

They talk about ”low culture” and ”low quality”.

They say it doesn’t comply with the laws of advertising.

They say that it can hardly be called an advertisement anymore, it’s too trashy!

The fiercest among these ’industry insiders’ said, ”Even idiots wouldn’t buy into a product promoted by such garbage advertising!”

”Yeah.”

”Only a fool would buy it!”

Many people echoed.

And then!

The news is out!

”Sales Explode, Brain Black Gold Sales Experience Exponential Growth”

”Real Shots, Incoming Orders Nonstop, Employees Busy as Dogs”

”Sales Figures Notice: Current Statistics Show Sales Have Increased by One Hundred Times!”

”One hundred times! One hundred times!”

The news above is definitely just joining in on the hype.

”Daily Sales Surpass a Season’s Worth”

”In-Factory Scene Shot, Sterile Environment, Clean and Tidy, Meticulous”

”Interview with Brain Black Gold’s CEO Wu, Unveiling the Astounding Secret Behind the Marketing Success”

People were clicking in droves, wanting to find out what the astounding secret was.

Well, CEO Wu said the big secret is—Xiaobu is awesome!

Everyone who saw the news nearly choked on their own blood!

Soon, netizens began to curse.

”Stupid editor.”

”Clickbait, garbage editor!”

”All mouth and no trousers, the content is all made up!”

”...”

However, as much as they cursed, they thoroughly understood just how terrifying the sales figures for Brain Black Gold were.

After all, so many news reports couldn’t be lying.

That so-called ’expert’ no longer dared to speak, hastily deleting his Weibo posts, vanishing without a trace.

There was a general silence.

”Wow, what a brainless ad, it’s a miracle!”

”Nonsense, it’s clearly Young Master Bu who’s the miracle, how did this even happen!?”

”You gotta admit it!”

”But, let’s not talk smack about their production, it’s really clean, makes buying their product comfortable!”

”Young Master Bu, do you still need a lackey? I can do anything.”

”Hahahahaha, look at my expression, you up there want to be Young Mister Bu’s lackey, hahaha!”

”Get lost, get lost, get lost, I know I’m not worthy, is it a crime just to think about it?!”

”...”

...

That very night, Wu Yuanren, who hadn’t visited the Lu Family for a long time, brought his whole family to mooch a meal and drink at the Lu’s.

Lu’s father and Wu Yuanren, the two old buddies, were drinking and laughing together.

”Damn, when I had no money, you could put aside your dignity and fight with me and my family for food. So what’s up now? Now that my son has made something of himself, you keep your distance from me?” Lu’s father cursed cheerily as he raised his glass to Wu Yuanren.

”Hey, it was just my pride acting up! Now that’s gone, I’ve lost all my pride. Anyway, now I’m working for your son.”

Wu Yuanren said as he drank and burped.

”What do you mean ’your son, my son’? Isn’t my son your son, too?”

Lu’s father scoffed.

”Hey, that’s true.” Wu Yuanren chuckled, ”Anyway, from today, I’m entrusting Qianmin to your Lu Family. If she gets bullied, I’m not going to let you off the hook!”

”And you think you could let me off? Come on, let’s spar; it’s been years since we last did.”

Lu’s father put down his glass and teased.

”Damn, as if I’m scared of you.”

Wu Yuanren was not to be outdone.

The two elders, whose combined ages were over a hundred years old, actually began to spar in the living room.

The onlookers were scared witless.

But although they were worried, there was general merriment.

Wu’s mother laughed, ”It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Old Wu this happy.”

”Indeed, I thought my dad had forgotten how to smile.” Wu Qianmin commented with a smirk.

Lu Hongbin was also laughing heartily, ”Same with my dad. This year must be the happiest year he’s ever had.”

”Of course, Xiaobu’s health has improved, mom has been brought back, the relationship with Uncle Wu has been restored, and you’re married too. How could he not be happy? He’s so happy he’s grinning ear to ear in his sleep!”

Lu Wenhuo was also brimming with joy.

The two families discussed cheerfully while watching the carefree, seemingly heartless wastrel by their side—Lu Xiaobu.

Even though it had been said countless times.

But it still felt unbelievable to think about it now.

Who would have thought that just in half a year, a little wastrel could change so much?

Lu Xiaobu grinned, ”No gifts for the holidays this year!”

”No gifts, no gifts, except Brain Black Gold as gifts, hey, so trendy!”

Everyone was reflecting on what was said, and then instinctively shouted.

Then...

”Come on, Xiaobu, here you are, I promise I won’t beat you to death!”
