Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 313: Chapter 312: A Thorough Investigation [1st Update, Please Subscribe]

Zhang Meng and Wu Qianmin took a private jet to rush to the Imperial.

Wu Qianmin, this young girl, seemed very excited.

She felt it had been a long time since she last spent time alone with Lu Xiaobu.

Unconsciously, Xiaobu was no longer like he used to be, and she also lost the routine of being alone with him like before!

Every night, she would fall into a dilemma.

She wondered if the old days were better when she could have Lu Xiaobu to herself, even though he was a real jerk.

Or if the present days are better when Lu Xiaobu has become impressive, but she also lost those days of alone time with him.

Upon arrival in the Imperial, right before deplaning, Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily: ”Zhang Meng, give everyone a bonus of ten thousand each; it’s not easy having to come with me during Chinese New Year.”

Upon hearing that, Zhang Meng immediately began counting money, handing out ten thousand to the pilot and each stewardess.

”Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu, Young Master Xiaobu, may you dominate the Jianghu for thousands of generations!”

Everyone was laughing and having a good time; since they were out today, it meant they definitely couldn’t return for the New Year, but getting the reward from Young Master Bu made them very happy.

The Imperial at this moment was enveloped in the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

And since everyone had gone home for the New Year, the usually overcrowded Imperial surprisingly exuded a bit of tranquility and mildness.

”Happy New Year.”

A passing pedestrian greeted Lu Xiaobu with a cupped-hand salute.

”Happy New Year.”

Lu Xiaobu responded cheerfully.

They arrived at the agreed location, and that customer service girl was still waiting at the door.

The customer service girl was so cold from standing at the door that she started shivering, pacing back and forth, breathing on her hands to keep warm.

She couldn’t help but complain in her heart.

Really, why should she be the only one to suffer like this?

Others didn’t have to do anything; only she, who had to make calls to Lu Xiaobu, had to endure this.

”You’re the girl who called me, right?”

The customer service girl heard a gentle voice and immediately looked up.

Wow, a handsome guy.

Although she had seen Lu Xiaobu’s photo before, she was still amazed when seeing him in person.

Well, it was worth the cold.

”Yes, I’m the one who called you; shall we go inside?”

The customer service girl put on a smile and said to Lu Xiaobu.

”Alright, a reward, ten thousand.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded upon seeing the shivering customer service girl.

Zhang Meng started counting money.

”This... this... this...,” the customer service girl stuttered, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

”Take it, buy yourself a coat. You’re quite something; to think you only wore stockings.”

Lu Xiaobu glanced at her decent-looking black silk-clad legs and said.

”Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu.”

The customer service girl accepted it, and her smiling face became even more radiant.

What?

Did you say she was unwilling to receive Lu Xiaobu?

When did she ever say that?!

No, never.

Receiving Young Master Bu is her honor.

Who dares to badmouth Young Master Bu? I’ll beat them to death!

Lu Xiaobu followed the customer service girl inside.

”Young Master Bu, it’s only just noon right now, and there is still some time before the official event starts this afternoon. So, after you get the invitation, you can choose to wait here or come back in the afternoon; either is fine.” The customer service girl explained as she led the way.

However...

Silence.

She didn’t hear any response, which puzzled her.

”Young Master Bu...”

The customer service girl turned her head to ask if he didn’t understand something.

And then...

She discovered Lu Xiaobu had disappeared!

Disappeared!

”Ah!”

The customer service girl panicked!

What kind of trick is disappearing?

Young Master Bu, where have you gone?

No way, at least give me a heads up before you go!

What kind of ghost just disappears without a peep?

How many tycoons play tricks like you?!

...

Where do you think Lu Xiaobu went?

Obviously, he went backstage.

He’d wanted to see what the descendants were up to for a long time.

Don’t ask how he managed to get in.

He is Lu Xiaobu, after all, and he was led in by a customer service girl—just a bit of blarney and no one stopped him.

There are really a lot of people backstage!

People in costume, people putting on makeup, people practicing, and of course, rows and rows of people sleeping.

The endless rehearsals had left each and every one of them utterly exhausted.

It’s said there’s a minute on stage but ten years of work backstage, and you still have to practice for days before going on.

As he walked, he saw a little girl doing her homework.

Don’t get any weird ideas—it was a genuine little sister, that kind who looks like she’s still in elementary school.

Lu Xiaobu walked over out of curiosity.

He saw the little girl frowning, biting on her pen, looking quite troubled.

”What’s the matter? Little sister, can’t do it?” Lu Xiaobu glanced at the problem.

Well, he couldn’t do it either!

No choice—had it been math or Chinese, he might have understood.

But it happened to be English.

He was totally in the dark.

”Yes, I can’t do it.”

The little sister nodded: ”Big brother, can you do it? Can you teach me?”

”Of course!” Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded: ”I’m the national top scorer in the college entrance exam!”

You can’t say no in front of the ladies.

Nor in front of a little sister.

Inside his mind, the system let out a scoff: ”Heh!”

Seems he has no idea where his top scorer title came from.

”Really?”

The little sister’s eyes lit up immediately: ”Then big brother, tell me which one to choose?”

”Choose D for the first one, A for the second, and A for the third...”

Lu Xiaobu quickly relayed the ’answers’ to the little sister.

The little sister filled in the answers, looking up to him admiringly, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to explain them.

”Mengmeng, have you finished your homework?”

At this moment, someone who might be a teacher or a parent came over.

”Not yet, I met a national top scorer of the college entrance exam, and he is teaching me.”

Mengmeng said crisply.

”National top scorer? Where is he?”

The person in charge walked over to Mengmeng and asked in confusion.

”Eh? He was just here.”

Mengmeng looked around, dumbfounded, as the big brother had vanished in the blink of an eye.

”Also, did he teach you these questions?”

The person in charge saw Mengmeng’s test paper and started twitching at the corners of their mouth.

”Yes, the big brother taught me.”

Mengmeng nodded affirmatively.

”Mengmeng, don’t just talk to strangers, okay?” the person in charge said with a breaking heart: ”The questions he taught you, they perfectly managed to avoid every correct answer, all wrong!”

The person in charge was internally collapsing.

To come up with all the wrong answers like this, he’s quite the talent.

They felt that the person Mengmeng mentioned must have been deliberately messing with her.

Otherwise, even if you were to guess randomly, you’d get at least one right, wouldn’t you?

”Huh?”

Mengmeng’s little face was filled with confusion.

The kind of confusion that could make one’s heart melt!

She never imagined that the so-called national college entrance exam top scorer big brother would teach her this way.

All wrong?!
