Chapter 601: Chapter 599: Upstaging the Guest of Honor [Update 1]

As soon as Lu Xiaobu entered the office, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

The person in charge of the television company felt a sudden lurch in his heart.

He thought to himself: Trouble now! He had already been repeatedly warned about Lu Xiaobu’s unconventional way of doing things on his way over!

But, he wasn’t too afraid; after all, he had come today specifically because of Lu Xiaobu.

He was coping fine, but Director Nie was already sweating profusely!

Looking at Lu Xiaobu, he said with an embarrassed face: ”Young Master Bu has arrived!”

Director Nie really felt restless, palms sweating, not even sure whether he should shake hands with Lu Xiaobu.

After all, no one knew whether shaking hands with him would cause people to think that he had connections with Lu Xiaobu and potentially affect his future prospects.

Seeing this, a smirk appeared at the corner of the person in charge’s mouth—Director Nie’s inclination was clear to see!

He couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Lu Xiaobu.

He wanted to take in the embarrassment, unease, and even anger on Lu Xiaobu’s face with the attitude of a victor!

However, to his disbelief, he could not find any of these expressions on Lu Xiaobu’s face.

Lu Xiaobu’s expression was still calm with a touch of dominance!

How could this be?

Could it be that Lu Xiaobu had a foolproof plan?!

For smart people, sometimes a single expression could lead them to think of a lot.

As this person was recognized by so many television companies, he clearly must be intelligent!

Thus, in this moment, his Divine Thought raced, and even his forehead began to sweat.

The difference was clear; even if the person in charge was confident, he would be flustered when facing Lu Xiaobu!

Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu scoffed, didn’t speak, but looked towards Director Nie.

”Gulp!”

Director Nie swallowed hard, and finally gritted his teeth, stepped forward, extending his right hand.

A handshake—an omission was not an option!

If he didn’t shake hands now and angered Lu Xiaobu, he too would have a dire fate, even faster than offending the television company!

So, if one looked carefully, they would notice his hand trembling slightly.

However, he reached out...

But Lu Xiaobu merely glanced at him indifferently and completely ignored him.

Then!

Lu Xiaobu made a move that made both men’s hearts leap.

Because, Lu Xiaobu walked straight to where Director Nie’s desk was and sat down with a plump, put his feet up on the desk.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire office froze!

What was that position?!

That was the seat belonging to the master of this office!

You must know, even the person in charge, who came bearing the orders of so many television companies, only sat on the sofa across the room!

But there, Lu Xiaobu not only completely ignored the handshake of Director Nie—who was the master of the office—

He also brazenly took the master’s seat, and on top of that, arrogantly put his legs up on the desk!

What did this mean?!

While they were puzzled,

Lu Xiaobu said indifferently: ”Director Nie, I want my TV series to be broadcast here, is that a problem?”

Still just a casual sentence.

But, it instantly made both the person in charge and Director Nie break out in a heavy sweat!

As mentioned before!

The person in charge was smart, but Director Nie wasn’t a fool either!

From Lu Xiaobu’s words, they detected a definitive, or rather, a domineering tone!

This sentiment complemented Lu Xiaobu’s three previous actions!

In this instant, the master of this office was no longer Director Nie, but Lu Xiaobu.

Director Nie and the person in charge felt like criminals being interrogated by Lu Xiaobu!

Simply put, there was another interpretation to that sentence — are you ready to face the consequences of rejecting me?

At this moment, the two of them didn’t even have time to think about what gave Lu Xiaobu, who was seemingly at the brink of collapse, such confidence.

What they wanted to do more was to look outside the window to see if they were surrounded!

But they didn’t dare to move!

Finally, the person in charge spoke up!

”Director Lu, I was just discussing things with Director Nie. Your forceful interruption is a bit out of line, isn’t it?”

Although he was still uneasy, he had to speak up!

Because he knew that if he didn’t give Director Nie a bit of confidence and support now, the entire rhythm of the matter would be led by Lu Xiaobu!

So, he had to speak up!

”First, get out. Second, make a phone call and book a box.”

Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.

Director Nie’s heart skipped wildly upon hearing these words!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t answer the person in charge, what did that mean?!

It meant that Lu Xiaobu didn’t consider this person in charge worth his attention at all!

And the box!

What box?!

There was only one kind of box — an urn!

Every action of Lu Xiaobu’s was expressing an attitude, a stance!

That is, yes, you are the owner of this office, but the master of this matter is Lu Xiaobu!

The heart of the person in charge pounded even more frantically!

His earlier absolute promises, his previous victor’s posture, had been gradually worn away by Lu Xiaobu from the start!

Until now, completely vanished!

He was wrong!

Completely wrong!

What he faced was not someone who played unconventionally, but a person who truly did as he pleased!

After all, he dared to take action against the Lin Family!

Would a mere him cause even the slightest concern for Lu Xiaobu?!

So!

Stand up, bow, and leave!

His movements were impeccably smooth, with not the slightest hesitation!

He had confirmed it; this was a person he couldn’t afford to provoke!

The departure of the person in charge hit Director Nie’s heart like a heavy punch!

”Have you made up your mind?”

At this time, Lu Xiaobu’s still calm voice came through.

”Yes, yes! No problem, we’ve always been partners! Of course, we should continue our cooperation!”

Director Nie hurriedly nodded, sweating profusely.

Was there even a need to think about it?

You’ve already made the decision for me!

”Good, a smart decision.”

Lu Xiaobu put his legs down, got up from the chair, walked over to Director Nie: ”I occupied your seat for a few minutes, hope you don’t mind. Now, everything is back to its rightful owner.”

After saying that, Lu Xiaobu left!

The moment the door closed, Director Nie’s legs gave out, and he sat down on the floor with a thud.

He stared blankly at the chair that originally belonged to him.

He was well aware that Lu Xiaobu’s words were a final warning!

That position might be yours, but I can decide whether you sit in it or not!
