Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 437: Chapter 435 The Effect of Luck Aura [Third Update]

Lu Xiaobu’s Weibo post immediately caused a huge commotion.

”Great! These words are so uplifting!”

”Lu Xiaobu is awesome! I apologize for what I said earlier, please make sure to keep your word!”

”When has Lu Xiaobu ever made a promise he didn’t keep?”

”That’s right, just one dollar more than them, it’ll piss them off so much!”

”It’s so damn satisfying!”

”...”

Of course, there were those who felt that it was irrational.

”Lu Xiaobu has made a wrong move this time!”

”Yeah, it sounds satisfying, but it’s really irrational!”

”It’s easy to make a promise now, but if you can’t fulfill it later, you’ll definitely be viciously criticized!”

”Didn’t you see that even Mao Yuan, which has a certain position in the hearts of foreigners, doesn’t dare say such things? Although Lao Ganma’s chili sauce is indeed better than Mao Yuan’s, the time is too short!”

”That’s right, and that amount, what are you doing? $5,340,001? Are you kidding?”

”Such words are too irresponsible, even worse than Mao Yuan Company’s explanation!”

”Ridiculous, indeed ridiculous!”

”...”

Qi Zhendong, the CEO of Mao Yuan Company, also sighed: ”Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, you’ve really messed up this time!”

Although he was looking forward to Lao Ganma being toppled, just not now!

If Lao Ganma falls now, it’s likely Heavenly Dynasty will be ridiculed even more severely.

Principal Li from Di Dian also showed a look of urgency on his face: ”This is too irrational, it’s completely speaking off the top of his head! How easy is it for a product, especially food, to enter the American market? Making such a statement now is just giving others something to attack you with!”

The mentors of The Voice were also chatting among themselves.

”Xiaobu has really been rash this time. Making such a promise now might seem like he’s won everyone’s respect, but once he can’t deliver, those who are praising him now will definitely turn against him and criticize him.”

Grandma Jia Yi, with her age and experience, analyzed it accurately.

”Yes, Young Master Bu has indeed gotten a bit ahead of himself this time, promising something nearly impossible to achieve, and on top of that, he’s made it even harder for himself, this is really...”

Chen Wen couldn’t quite finish his words.

After all, he has received Lu Xiaobu’s favor, and there were some things that shouldn’t be said too excessively.

But even if he didn’t say it, everyone understood what he meant.

Fang Li sighed and didn’t say anything, but the meaning was clearly conveyed.

At this moment, Sun Wanqi didn’t say a word.

She was just silently staying there.

Even though it was Lu Xiaobu who lost his temper this time and made the promise,

She felt a deep sense of guilt.

She felt that the cause of it all was her, because her team used Lu Xiaobu as a tool.

If it weren’t for the previous incident, this wouldn’t have escalated to such a level.

So, after thinking for a while, she finally said to her agent Qi Yanfei: ”Xiao Qi, make arrangements to cancel all of today’s activities.”

”Sister Sun?”

Qi Yanfei was puzzled, what was this about?!

The events they had were not something you could just cancel at will. Often canceling an event meant not only loss of profit but also owing favors.

Remembering that Lu Xiaobu had invited Sun Wanqi to The Voice and she didn’t even have the time, and now she actually planned to cancel engagements for personal matters!

This is just crazy!

”Just listen to me and do it.”

Sun Wanqi decided to be capricious for once.

”Okay then!”

Qi Yanfei felt helpless, and deep down, she probably guessed what Sun Wanqi was going to do.

She really didn’t understand. Sister Sun, you are a Queen of Heaven after all. Moreover, even though the media says you should be grateful to Lu Xiaobu for this and that, fundamentally, these are all transactions, commercial activities!

Is it really worth it to go to such lengths for Lu Xiaobu?

...

Evening.

By this time, Lu Xiaobu’s Luck Aura had long since worn off.

After all, sixty million in one minute, six hundred million in ten minutes, so a billion would only take about sixteen or seventeen minutes.

Although Lu Xiaobu didn’t regret it, he still sighed with a tinge of lament: ”The wasteful amount is empty again, I’m broke once more.”

It has been a long time since he last felt this sense of emptiness.

Originally, the sixty billion he managed last time could have lasted awhile, but one Charging Shield and a Luck Aura cleaned him out!

Now he had to find ways to squander money again.

Just as he was worrying, he received a call from Sun Wanqi.

”Hello, what’s up?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Well, Lu Xiaobu, I...um...” Sun Wanqi stumbled over her words.

Even though she had made up her mind, she still felt a bit shy when it came time to say it.

Finally, she bit the bullet: ”I’d like to invite you over for dinner.”

”Dinner?”

Lu Xiaobu’s eyebrows raised in surprise: ”How many people? The coaches of ’The Voice’ joining us?”

In his impression, the likelihood of Sun Wanqi asking him to dinner alone was almost zero.

”No, just the two of us, at my place, I’ll cook myself! I’ll send you the address, if you don’t come then forget it!”

Sun Wanqi rushed through her words and then hung up.

She couldn’t continue the conversation, if she did, this Lu Xiaobu would outsmart her.

”Huh?!”

Lu Xiaobu, hearing the beeping tone on the phone, showed a surprised expression on his face.

Did the Queen of Heaven have some sort of brain aneurysm?

Actually inviting him over for dinner?

And she’s cooking herself?

Most importantly, it’s at her place?!

What is the Queen of Heaven up to?!

Does he look like someone who’s easy?

He is a decent man, so he decided...

”Zhang Meng, let’s go, we’re heading out!”

However, deep down he probably understood the reason why the Queen of Heaven invited him for dinner; it definitely had something to do with the Luck Aura.

This reassured him greatly.

Why, you ask?

Think about it, if the Luck Aura is free enough to set him up with girls, then the Lao Ganma matter must be close to fruition!

Killing two birds with one stone!

Not bad, not bad!

...

Following the address, Lu Xiaobu arrived at Sun Wanqi’s house.

A villa decorated in splendid magnificence.

”Ding dong!”

Lu Xiaobu pressed the doorbell.

It was Qi Yanfei who opened the door.

Now, Qi Yanfei wasn’t wearing her usual professional suit but casual clothes instead, with an apron tied around her waist, looking as if she was cooking.

”You’re here, come in.”

Qi Yanfei’s face showed neither sadness nor joy, lacking a welcoming expression, but she didn’t seem to be sending him away either.

All because of this guy, Sister Sun had pushed back so many arrangements.

Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and stepped in.

Zhang Meng followed him in, whereas Li Jin volunteered to stay in the car.

One inside and one outside, they could provide maximum security for Lu Xiaobu.

Hmm, though Li Jin’s face was full of grievance—he too wanted to go in and see. He was always left to watch the car!

The instructor was really good at picking on people.

Sigh, a sigh that carried boundless sorrow.
