Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 356: Chapter 355 Nonsense [3rd Update for quietly sitting by the window to watch the typhoon plus the 10th update]

Zhu Zhixi’s speech not only won applause from teachers and parents on site.

It also started to gain a huge following online.

Of course, Wei Hai’s behind-the-scenes promotion was indispensable.

The bigger the contrast, the easier it was for him to achieve his goals.

”Really well said.”

”Looks like Teacher Zhu did a lot of preparation.”

”Yeah, using a different angle to motivate students to learn; it’s quite refreshing.”

”Teacher Zhu is really dedicated, giving a speech despite being injured, hoping the students will take it to heart.”

”From this level of performance, you can see Teacher Zhu’s expertise. These motivational words, this positive energy, Lu Xiaobu, that wastrel, could never possibly learn.”

”That’s true. Lu Xiaobu is famous for business planning, genius planning, and cussing people out. As for teaching and educating? He’s not up to it, even though he was a top scorer in the college entrance examination, but being a top scorer doesn’t necessarily mean he can teach.”

”But even so, Lu Xiaobu is likely to prepare a good speech, right?”

”Probably something Hou Long prepared for him, just to bluff his way through.”

”Yeah!”

”...”

Wei Hai was not only driving the development of public opinion from behind, but he also engaged in some rather underhanded activities.

...

The Education Day continued.

Education Day wasn’t just about speeches, there were various performances interspersed throughout.

After all, this wasn’t about giving reports; it was about educating elementary and middle school students.

Of course, the so-called performances were all clichéd, all positive energy.

Just like our past selves, this sort of thing was the most uninteresting.

Aside from polite applause, most of the time was spent half-asleep.

...

Time went by quickly; this was already the last item on the agenda, and the closing ceremony was up next.

Which meant it was time for Lu Xiaobu’s speech.

The online noise was getting more intense.

Some were furiously criticizing Lu Xiaobu.

”Is this guy really going on stage?”

”Trash!”

”Not watching! Can’t watch!”

”...”

Most continued to watch the excitement.

”Wow, will Lu Xiaobu follow the script?”

”He probably will, even he wouldn’t dare to challenge the norm in this kind of setting, right?”

”I’m still looking forward to it.”

”If Lu Xiaobu doesn’t cause a stir, then it really would be no fun.”

”...”

However, just as the last performance was about to end,

Lu Xiaobu received a video on his phone.

The video showed a woman whom Lu Xiaobu recognized – an employee from his company.

Not from Cola Company.

The other companies did not have such high security awareness.

At this moment, the employee was tied to a chair, her face filled with terror!

This was followed by a voice altered by a voice changer.

”Lu Xiaobu, you recognize this person, right? I know you protect your own, so if you don’t want to see this woman hurt, do as I tell you.”

”Of course, I won’t make it too difficult for you, after all, I would do the same and definitely not overdo it just for an ordinary employee.”

”So, my demand is very simple, just one sentence; when you start your speech, please open with this line — ’Zhu Zhixi’s speech is a load of bullsh*t!’”

”How about it? This is something you’ve always wanted to say, right? I’m helping you achieve it!”

”And one more thing, I know you have connections everywhere, probably will find me soon, but remember, with a light flick of my knife, tsk, tsk, tsk, this pretty face will be scarred, right?”

”So, best to obediently do as I say! Everyone stays out of trouble, what do you say?”

The video ended with the sound of that voice.

Lu Xiaobu’s hand, holding the phone, turned white at the knuckles.

Anger!

Immense anger!

What does this mean?

It means — Lu Xiaobu, I know you are furious, but so what? You still have to obediently do as I say, right?

Someone dared to threaten him so brazenly using his own people!

Good! Very good!

I’m supposed to say ’a load of bullsh*t,’ huh!

That’s exactly what I wanted to say!

And!

Zhu Zhixi, if nothing unexpected happens, this must be the backer you rely on.

Lu Xiaobu’s gaze gradually turned murderous, and he glanced at Zhu Zhixi from afar.

Instantly, Zhu Zhixi was drenched in cold sweat.

He felt as if he had been targeted by a demon!

And without any arrangement from Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Meng had already left the scene.

No matter who this person is!

Daring to treat the Young Master this way!

He is dead for sure!

...

On the other end of the video was Wei Hai.

He didn’t trust anyone else with this matter, so he chose to take matters into his own hands.

He provocatively challenged Lu Xiaobu in person, knowing full well that Lu Xiaobu is extremely protective of his own!

He wore a mask and looked at the terrified female employee sitting on the chair, letting out a cold laugh without saying a word.

He wasn’t going to leave any evidence behind.

Now, there were less than two minutes left before the closing ceremony.

Even if Lu Xiaobu was fast, he wouldn’t be able to pinpoint his location within two minutes.

As soon as Lu Xiaobu finished that sentence, he would turn and walk away, without lingering.

His goal was simple.

Once Lu Xiaobu said that sentence.

Not only could it manipulate the atmosphere at the scene, but it would also turn Lu Xiaobu into a target for all!

No matter what Lu Xiaobu had prepared in his speech, it definitely couldn’t be used anymore.

And prepare a new speech?!

Haha, does Lu Xiaobu have that ability?

Everything was under control.

Once Lu Xiaobu uttered that sentence, his speech would fail, his reputation would be ruined, he would be subject to investigation, the company would be unmanaged, fall apart in chaos, and then he would take the opportunity to obtain the secret formula!

The plan was perfect!

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Wei Hai’s face.

Even for someone as scheming as him, he couldn’t help but get a little carried away at that thought!

...

At the National Education Day venue.

The last program had finished.

Next up was the closing ceremony.

Hou Long hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Lu Xiaobu and continued cheerfully advising: ”Xiaobu, I wish you success, go for it!”

”Alright, it will be a great success!”

Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions.

It’s just a sentence, after all!

That’s exactly what he had wanted to say.

After all, he never planned to use Hou Long’s speech.

Zhu Zhixi, and your backer, your death will come right after I step down from the stage!

...

Lu Xiaobu stepped up to the podium.

Whether it was the live audience or the online viewers.

Whether they were criticizing him or praising him, and of course those who were just watching the commotion.

At this moment, all eyes were on Lu Xiaobu.

For no other reason than the fact his name was Lu Xiaobu.

Wherever he was!

It would never be quiet!

Disrupting the scene was his specialty!

He never backs down, no matter who he faces!

All cameras were aimed at Lu Xiaobu.

They indeed wanted to see whether Lu Xiaobu would follow the script today, or continue to disrupt the event!?

Just how bold is he?

Lu Xiaobu stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat: ”Who I am, I believe needs no introduction! I’ve listened to Zhu Zhixi’s speech earlier! Here, I would like to express my opinion...”

Lu Xiaobu looked around, stared into the camera, and loudly said: ”What he said is utter nonsense!”

He was speaking to the audience, and also to the schemer behind the scenes!

And with Lu Xiaobu’s words!

Everyone went wild!
