Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 307: Chapter 306: It’s Time to Take Off the Mask [5th Update, 30,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus Chapter]

Seven bosses and one chief planner got into a bit of a scuffle.

Oh, sorry, I mean the seven bosses confronted the chief planner—Huo Yichen!

The chief planner now has weak knees and doesn’t dare to bend them.

Because once he bends his knees, he can’t help but kneel.

The people at the scene couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

”Ha ha ha, that’s too freaking funny!”

”This is the first time I’ve realized that the stand-in is this hilarious!”

”Huo Yichen, you tried to mess with us, now you’re going to suffer!”

”Skin? You want to show skin?”

”And to see the bosses fight it out, probably can only see it once in a lifetime, just like this.”

”Right? It’s mysteriously joyful, isn’t it?!”

”So satisfying, never thought that one day we’d get to be spectators and enjoy watching the bosses go at it.”

”I’m loving it!”

”...”

”Alright, next up...”

Lu Xiaobu continued to speak.

”Wait, wait, hang on!”

Huo Yichen couldn’t take it anymore.

The segment couldn’t continue.

He realized that today’s stand-in was deliberately opposing him, and he had to get the event back on track.

If not, even if he could endure it, his legs couldn’t.

”What’s up?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Nothing much, we just feel that only us having fun isn’t enough, if we’re going to play, we should all play together.”

Huo Yichen decided to just go for it.

Anyway, this person isn’t Young Master Bu, just a stand-in.

As long as it’s within the rules, who’s afraid?

Upon hearing this, the seven bosses’ eyes lit up instantly, nodding in agreement.

”Right! We can’t be the only ones playing!”

”You’ve got to play too!”

”We’ve all let loose, what else do you want to do?!”

”You can’t be an exception, right?”

”...”

The seven bosses nodded fervently, each with a glint of a big bad wolf in their eyes.

Play us?

Come join us!

”Join in?” Lu Xiaobu’s lips curled into a smile: ”Sure, what shall we play?”

Lu Xiaobu wasn’t scared at all, it’s just playing!

That’s what he loved most!

It’s a year-end function, it’s meant to be merry and bright!

Who needs any level systems?

Want to be the boss, there’s plenty of room.

If all else fails, find a fast-food spot, two hundred bucks and you can be the boss too, no need to be here.

”Alright, let’s do this, we’ll play a fair game.” Huo Yichen said, ”We’ll ask questions in turn, about Young Master Bu, in a buzz-in answer mode, the winner can ask the person who lost the most to do something, anything!”

Hearing his game, the group of bosses nodded.

”This game sounds good.”

”Not bad, it works.”

”It’d be best to add some in-depth questions that can entertain as well as educate!”

”Yes, I support this game!”

”...”

The bosses showed their support!

After all, as employees, understanding your own boss is fundamental.

So, they believed they wouldn’t lose.

The employees below also slowly became interested.

”This game is not bad!”

”Not bad!”

”It’s about how well we know Young Master Bu!”

”Sounds fun, especially that unlimited punishment!”

”Awesome!”

”...”

The bosses turned their gaze to Lu Xiaobu, challenging him: ”What about you? Dare to play?”

”Hey! Dare I not? Come on then!”

Lu Xiaobu was amused.

Was there anyone who knew him better than he knew himself?

Well, he thought so!

However!

The first question, and he was stumped!

”Please, what is Young Master Bu’s most commonly used self-reference?” Huo Yichen was the first to ask.

Lu Xiaobu immediately raised his hand with a snap: ”It’s ’I.’”

He was confident this answer was virtually foolproof.

He thought he usually referred to himself as ’I,’ and that was perfectly fine.

However!

”Pfft!”

Not just the seven bosses, even the audience laughed.

”Ha ha ha, ’I’? You really don’t know Young Master Bu at all!”

”Since when has Young Master Bu ever used ’I’?”

”What a joke?”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu looked completely confused: ”Isn’t it ’me’?”

”Wrong, completely wrong, Young Master Bu’s most commonly used self-reference is ’Young Master.’”

The Coca-Cola CEO stepped forward and said.

”You got it right!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

”Uh...” Lu Xiaobu looked puzzled: ”Is that so?”

He didn’t feel like he often called himself Young Master!

”What? Still doubting? Just ask everyone!”

Huo Yichen gave Lu Xiaobu a challenging look and then pointed to the audience.

”That’s right!”

Everyone laughed heartily: ”Indeed, Young Master Bu’s most common self-reference is ’Young Master.’”

”Alright then.”

Since everyone said so, Lu Xiaobu had no choice!

But he really didn’t feel like he often used the title Young Master.

Do you think so?

You don’t, right!

”Let me ask the second question, everyone still remembers Young Master Bu’s earthshaking bare-handed planning on Coca-Cola, right? Who can give a detailed analysis of that planning,” said the Coca-Cola CEO.

”Uh... planning?” Lu Xiaobu continued to be confused.

He was just trying to mess things up and curse someone at that time!

The planning afterwards was done by someone else!

”Hahaha, you don’t know again, do you!” This time, the CEO of Creation Chinese Website, Zhang Guan, came forward: ”Back then, Young Master Bu was indeed brilliant, wonderfully creative, after analyzing the enemy and our strengths, he saw that glimmer of hope in adversity...”

Zhang Guan, the CEO of a small novel website, really lives up to his title!

Probably his novel-writing skills are also not bad!

My my, how he flattered Lu Xiaobu!

Praising in all sorts of ways!

Things like no one before and no one after, and being unrivaled under the heavens and on earth!

All kinds of beautiful phrases were being used one after another!

Everyone was seriously flattered.

But cough cough cough!

Lu Xiaobu expressed that it was very pleasing to hear!

Very pleasing!

...

The third question is here!

Brain Black Gold CEO: ”Speaking of recent events, our advertising plan for Brain Black Gold, who can say what the value of that advertisement is?”

Lu Xiaobu: ”...”

I have no damn clue!

I just wanted to ’brain-wash’!

Who knows how much it’s worth?!

Well, now it’s Huo Yichen’s turn to boast!

Still lavish praises, Lu Xiaobu is invincible!

Lu Xiaobu expressed, although this praise wasn’t as fantastical as Zhang Guan’s, it was still very pleasing!

...

The fourth question.

Jueying Company CEO: ”You are all no good, come on, who can recite the phenomenal speech made by Young Master Bu at the Jueying press conference?”

Lu Xiaobu: ”...”

Recite?!

What the hell?!

You guys memorize it every day?!

Are you insane?!

I don’t even remember!

Well then, the CEO of ZT IT accurately recited everything without missing a word.

Lu Xiaobu was secretly amazed—so you really can memorize it!

...

The fifth question.

LOL Company CEO: ”The classic moment of the initial LOL, everyone hasn’t forgotten, right? That is...”

...

The sixth question.

Juechen Live CEO: ”...”

...

The seventh question.

”...”

Lu Xiaobu had completely given up on answering.

Anyway, just listen to them praising himself.

Couldn’t answer a single question.

He really didn’t expect that one day he would be stumped by his own questions!

But, he said, it feels great to be praised!

Yes, really very satisfying!

The employees below were also listening enraptured!

This was their first time systematically finding out what a legendary figure their big boss was!

After the questions were over, the main event started!

Punishment!

Who lost the most?

Of course, it was Lu Xiaobu!

Several bosses showed an evil smile, they were planning their revenge!

Lu Xiaobu also showed an evil smile—it was time to take off the mask!
