Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 311: Chapter 310 Crying from Being Played [4th Update, 2000 Recommendation Votes Bonus Chapter]

The top performers have already collected their money, people who have achieved something in every area, at every level, have received hefty rewards.

And that one billion in cash, has also decreased by about a third, that’s about thirty million.

The remaining seventy million is for everyone’s red envelopes.

It seems like a lot left, but there are just too many people!

If one billion were to be divided equally, each person would get less than a thousand yuan.

Not to mention it’s only seventy million left now.

Just consider those few hundred yuan as an extra benefit.

So everyone’s silently making a firm resolution in their hearts, their goal is to sit at the top seats next year!

To sit on the Dragon Throne!

To grab a fortune!

To win big prizes!

...

The money distribution is done.

”Alright, let’s serve the food, everyone can eat, drink, and watch the performance.”

Xiaobu, with a grand wave of his hand, once again skipped over the countless scheduled segments.

All those other leaders’ speeches, well-wishing from other companies, documentaries, promotional videos, do whatever they want!

Huo Yichen is on the verge of tears—but hey, he’s used to it.

He is truly redundant!

”Well done, you’ve done a good job too.”

Xiaobu didn’t overlook this diligent guy, who also got to kick off the event; he casually grabbed a handful of the dwindling pile of cash and stuffed it into Huo Yichen’s arms: ”Work hard next year.”

”Yes!”

Huo Yichen’s heart instantly filled with strength.

He bowed deeply with a snap!

Money is important, but having Young Master Bu personally speak these words to him is just as important!

”Let’s go, let’s go, time to eat.”

Xiaobu took Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and those seven bosses to have a meal.

The employees have received their rewards, now it’s time for these bosses too.

But there’s no need to openly talk about their rewards.

No need whatsoever.

...

The annual meeting was a tremendous success, unprecedentedly so.

However, some people were quite vexed.

The most vexed was Huo Yichen.

Because...

”I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I didn’t know the date was changed so suddenly, the annual meeting is already over.”

”No, no, I’m not playing with you, it really was changed suddenly.”

”Comrades of the press, don’t blame me! You know what Young Master Bu is like, I’m just as stunned! How about this, let me arrange an interview for you?”

”Director Wang, don’t be mad, I really didn’t know, okay? What! You’re getting fired up now, aren’t you? Want me to let you talk to Xiaobu personally?!”

”...”

These callers are all guests and reporters who were previously scheduled to be invited.

These are all big shots, otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify to be invited by Lu Group.

However, these big shots got played hard by Xiaobu.

They pushed aside all their other engagements, taking a whole day to attend Lu Group’s annual meeting!

They got all dressed up, plane tickets bought.

Only to be told at the last minute that it was already over!

How vexing is that for you?!

What kind of plane joke is this?!

How can they get the date wrong?!

How is that different from getting to bed, pants off, only to discover the other person is a man?!

However, they don’t think it’s Xiaobu’s fault, they think Huo Yichen got the date wrong, so they’re all calling to complain!

...

Right, besides them being played.

Some others got played too.

That’s a bunch of brazen rascals.

On the next day of the annual meeting, the original scheduled date.

Four or five vans quietly arrived near the venue of the annual meeting.

”Big brother, are you sure this will work? That’s Xiaobu we’re talking about!”

One of the lackeys said with palpable anxiety.

”It’s definitely doable; we’re not targeting Lu Xiaobu himself, just his employees.”

The boss said with certainty, ”What kind of person is Lu Xiaobu? The number one prodigal in history!”

”He must hand out cash to his employees in wads, and this has been confirmed. Just yesterday, I saw someone from Lu Group withdraw an entire armored cash truck! Can you imagine how much money that was?”

”Plus, at the year-end party, they’re bound to drink. There will surely be lots of people who overindulge.”

”When that time comes, we just need to pick our target, hit once and then leave—we’ll make a fortune!”

The boss was thrilled as he spoke.

The underlings, hearing their boss’s confident words, all displayed greed in their eyes.

Right, hit them one good time!

After that score, they could live the high life forever!

Then...

They waited from morning until noon.

Underling: ”Boss? Why hasn’t anyone shown up?”

The boss was also full of confusion: ”Perhaps they’re having their year-end party tonight! Let’s wait a bit longer!”

Time slipped by again.

Evening.

They hadn’t even had dinner yet!

Underling: ”Boss, where are the people?”

Boss: ”I have no freaking idea! They clearly said the party was today!”

Underling: ”Should I ask around?”

The boss gritted his teeth: ”Fine, go ahead, but remember not to let them see your face!”

Underling: ”You can count on me!”

Then...

After asking someone, the underling came back and sat in the car, burying his head in his hands and weeping.

”What’s wrong? What’s there to cry about?!” the boss erupted in rage.

”Boss, they said, the year-end party is already over, and you guessed it right, spot on! Lu Xiaobu indeed handed out lots of cash, many got drunk. Just now, the old man I asked was even given ten thousand by a drunkard—hit the jackpot!”

The underling continued to sob, his tears flowing like rain: ”Boss! We got everything right, but, but we got the date wrong! My money!”

After hearing what the underling said, the boss also cried.

Yeah, his money!

Even a passing old man was given ten thousand on the spot.

If they hadn’t got the date wrong, how much could they have made?

Do you know how that feels?

The feeling is just like when your girlfriend gets married, and the groom isn’t you. That heart-wrenching, that despair.

This isn’t how it’s supposed to go!

Lu Xiaobu, I hate you!

But soon, he cried even harder.

Because the old man they asked earlier had called the police.

The cops showed up.

Although they hadn’t done anything illegal and wouldn’t be sentenced, being taken in for a few days of ”education” was inevitable!

...

Two days passed, and it was almost New Year’s, but the news about the holiday was overshadowed by another piece of news.

”Lu Group, a corporation filled with wild power”

”Crazy employees, crazy leaders”

”Everyone shares one slogan: to be number one”

”A company with incredible unity”

”A company whose employees you can’t poach”

The article detailed interviews with Lu Group employees.

They were astounded by what a vibrant company this was.

Every person radiated with fervor, emanating a do-or-die attitude for the company.

Some journalists even pretended to be from other big companies, attempting to poach them with salaries three times higher.

But they were firmly rejected.

Their eyes filled with disdain for the tripled salaries!

This baffled everyone. What exactly was the reason?

What on earth happened at the year-end party?

To bestow such immense cohesiveness and loyalty upon the company?

It wasn’t until later that the information finally leaked out!

And so!

The internet exploded!

They cried out, clamoring to be part of Lu Group!
