Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Part 3 [4th update, bonus for Wan Xing reward]

Post-incident management naturally didn’t require Lu Xiaobu’s arrangement; in the open, there was Liang Lan, and behind the scenes, there was Zhang Benhu.

Soon, a news article about an underground power feud killing made it onto the newspapers.

However, this news was firmly suppressed by ”Youthful Heavenly Dynasty,” barely getting any attention at all!

Even if someone noticed it, they would only be slightly astonished before losing interest.

After all, the current hot topic was about ”Youthful Heavenly Dynasty” being included in the language textbooks.

Although it was still under consideration.

But that was enough to drive people insane!

”Oh my god!”

”Language textbooks! That represents official endorsement!”

”This must be the result of unanimous recommendation from university presidents and senior professors.”

”Exactly, they wouldn’t want such a good article to go unnoticed, it must be learned by students.”

”That’s great, I was worrying about how to perfectly replicate the original, since the versions on the internet aren’t approved by Lu Xiaobu, and not knowing if they’re correct. Now, I can properly analyze it for my students!”

”This is something educationalists dream of achieving, yet it’s been done by a prodigal son.”

”I am really impressed by this move!”

”Speaking of which, do you guys still remember cola? Who said it was negative energy? Please stand up!”

”Who said that? Cola is my favorite, no competition!”

”Exactly, exactly!”

”...”

As ”Youthful Heavenly Dynasty” was selected for the textbooks, the scattered opposing voices on the internet were completely crushed.

Cola made its comeback in Jianghu, once again dominating the beverage market.

And with the success of ”Youthful Heavenly Dynasty,” cola’s sales surged once again.

Now ranked number 18! What a great number!

...

Lu Xiaobu returned home, where the noise from the outside world was isolated from the small villa.

”Xiaobu, you spoke so well! Come, write it down for me by hand; I want to hang it on the wall!”

Lu Wenhao, the academic star, wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by!

For him, earning more money was nowhere near as exciting as a brilliant article.

”No way!”

Lu Xiaobu outright refused.

Write?!

What a joke!?

He was too lazy to write.

Besides, with his poor penmanship, the result would probably make Lu Wenhao die laughing.

Nope, absolutely not.

”Not giving it to me?!” Lu Wenhao’s eyebrows raised, ”Be careful, or I might just take care of you!”

”Come on, you think you can beat me?”

Lu Xiaobu said mockingly.

After all, with full attributes, how could a bookworm like Lu Wenhao ever beat him.

Of course, they wouldn’t actually fight.

Lu Wenhao couldn’t bear to hit Lu Xiaobu, and similarly, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t want to hit Lu Wenhao either.

”Haha, Xiaobu! Stop teasing your second brother, just write one for him!”

Lu Hongbin watched as Lu Wenhao got so angry his mouth skewed, and with a laugh said to Lu Xiaobu: ”You know how your second brother is. If he doesn’t get it, he probably won’t be able to sleep or eat!”

Indeed Xiaobu’s speech was truly amazing!

Not just the kids, but their whole family was extremely excited while listening!

”But, it’s really tiring!”

Lu Xiaobu genuinely didn’t want to write: ”Can I just print it out instead?”

”No, that would be soulless.” Lu Wenhao was extremely persistent on this matter.

”Fine fine fine, you have your way alright. I’ll write it for you!” Lu Xiaobu conceded.

Yep, this was the most words he’d written since the college entrance exam!

It exhausted him to death.

Looking at Lu Xiaobu’s handwriting, Lu Wenhao was full of disdain, ”Still no improvement, it’s illegible.”

”Gah!” Lu Xiaobu gnashed his teeth at Lu Wenhao: ”I told you I didn’t want to write it. After writing it, you complain it’s bad, give it here, no more.”

”Alright alright, it’s well written! So good!”

Lu Wenhao reluctantly complimented the calligraphy and hastily put it away.

He couldn’t let it get taken away; he still wanted to show it off!

Now, in the literary world, this was a truly unique piece!

Lu Father watched his two sons playfully tussling with each other, his eyes full of affection.

Their brotherly bond remaining this strong was what pleased him the most.

He never said anything like, ”Just because Xiaobu became successful, let’s do this or that.”

They were in the midst of their playful fight.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Liang Lan got up to answer it.

She no longer worked because it wasn’t like they were rich now or that she married a wealthy man.

Rather, she wanted to devote herself entirely to caring for the family’s daily needs at home.

After all, Lu Father was getting on in years and it was essential to have someone at home.

Upon opening the door, she saw three individuals with a strong scholarly aura about them.

”Who might you be?”

Lin Shu did not recognize these three people.

”Oh, I’m the principal of Emperor Electric University; my surname is Hu.” The Emperor Electric University Principal was the first to speak.

The Principal of Qinghua University didn’t want to be left behind: ”I’m the Principal of Qinghua University, my surname is Wang.”

Only the Principal of Emperor Electric University was relaxed and confident: ”Liang Lan! I’m Xiaobu’s principal. I even attended your wedding with Hong Bin.”

Principal Li looked proudly at the other two university principals.

You just don’t measure up!

After all, Xiaobu is my student, and I understand him well.

Seeing Principal Li’s expression, Principals Hu and Wang were so irritated they were itching with frustration.

At the same time, this solidified their purpose for being here even more!

”Oh, three Principals! Please come in!”

Having been a teacher before, Lin Shu had immense respect for the three esteemed principals and quickly invited them in.

”Liang Lan, who is it?”

Lu Father asked at this moment.

”Dad, it’s the Principals of Emperor Electric, Qinghua, and Emperor Electric Universities.”

Lin Shu hurriedly replied.

”Oh!?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Father promptly stood up to greet them.

These three individuals were highly respected wherever they went; he couldn’t afford to put on airs.

”Ah, Brother Lu! We meet again!”

While the Principals of Emperor Electric and Qinghua Universities were still figuring out how to greet, the Emperor Electric University’s Principal Li had already gone up to greet familiarly.

Yes, he didn’t forget to give the other two principals another smug look.

He just loved seeing the principals of the two big universities looking so frustrated in front of him!

Of course, all this was thanks to Lu Xiaobu!

The other two principals quickly introduced themselves too.

”Please take a seat, have a seat.”

Lu Father hurriedly invited the three principals to the living room, and then addressed Lu Wenhao and Lu Xiaobu, who were still playing around: ”Alright, the three principals are here, quiet down a bit.”

”Okay.”

The two of them quickly responded.

Lu Xiaobu was fine; he was just listening to Lu Father’s words.

But Lu Wenhao was different.

As a top student, his respect for the three principals was even greater than that of Lin Shu, who used to be a teacher.

”Please take a seat, take a seat!”

Lu Wenhao hurried to have them sit down.

Serving tea, exchanging pleasantries, Principal Li took another victorious glance at the other two principals.

Finally, it was time to talk about the matter at hand.

”I wonder what brings the three of you here this time?!”

Lu Father voiced the perplexity in his heart.

He truly didn’t know what about their home would warrant a visit from all three principals together.

Even if Xiaobu had made a bit of a splash, it surely wasn’t to this extent!
