Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 638: Chapter 636: Any Objections? [3rd Update]

Inside the gymnasium.

Shan Tianxiang, Zhang Benhu, Chen Feiyang, and Qiao Kong, who played Li Yunlong, along with a bunch of veteran actors, were all sitting in the VIP seats.

Below them were the supporting actors, the crew members, and the extras, each taking their places.

Lu Xiaobu stood on the podium with a microphone in hand, looking down at the crowd: ”Do you still remember what I once said? This is our fight with our backs to the water! If we lose, we face utter failure, and some may even lose their lives!”

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, everyone recalled the darkest period before.

Shan Tianxiang, Qiao Kong, and others remembered the days when they were blacklisted, the struggling families they once had, and the injustices they endured!

Zhang Benhu also sighed. Truthfully, he was ready to send Zhang Wenliang abroad and then wait for death!

Just as the Young Master said.

At that time, ”Bright Sword” was indeed their fight with their backs to the water!

They had no other chances left.

Only this battle!

If they lost, those who should be banned would be banned, those who had to be investigated would be investigated, and those who had to die would die!

Everything would vanish like smoke!

”But, we won!” Lu Xiaobu shouted, stirring up the entire gymnasium!

”Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”...”

The chants erupted uniformly in waves!

Not just Zhang Benhu and his subordinates, but also Shan Tianxiang, Qiao Kong, and others were filled with a boiling passion, screaming their lungs out!

Excitement was written all over their faces!

This fight with their backs to the water was a victory they had won!

They had won everything!

After letting them vent enough, Lu Xiaobu laughed and pressed down with his hand, saying, ”Come on, let’s all drink this cup together!”

Lu Xiaobu picked up his wine glass.

”Whoosh!”

Without any advance notice, everyone stood up and raised their glasses: ”A toast to Young Master Bu!”

”Cheers!”

Watching this scene, Lu Xiaobu was filled with pride and bold spirit!

Instantly, everyone raised their glasses and drained them in one go!

So refreshing and thrilling!

”Good, next up, let’s talk about rewards for our achievements!” Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly with his hand!

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Liang Lan stood up: ”The Young Master has decided to allocate ten billion to reward everyone. I’ll send the specific breakdown to you all later. Let’s not take up more of your time!”

Hearing Liang Lan’s words, everyone gulped audibly!

Ten billion?!

That’s ten billion we’re talking about!

You may not grasp the concept.

That means if there were ten thousand people here, each would get a hundred thousand!

But here, all told, there are only about a thousand people!

This means, if distributed equally, each person would get one million!

That’s one million!

It may not be much for Lu Xiaobu, but they, like us, are ordinary folks!

With a fortune of one million falling from the sky, how can they not feel excited!

Of course, the leading actors would surely get more!

But even so, every person here is looking at several hundred thousand!

Who wouldn’t be excited?!

”Thank you, Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”Thank you, Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”Thank you, Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for a thousand generations!”

”...”

There was another round of unified cheering in the venue!

Previously, it was out of sentiment; now it’s for benefits!

Following Young Master Bu ensures a feast, no doubt about it!

Besides Young Master Bu, which other boss would be so generous to dish out so much money for everyone?

Let’s not even talk about extra rewards; getting what you’re owed would already be considered good!

After all, do you still remember why Shan Tianxiang and the others were blacklisted in the first place?

It was because the film company extended a TV series from thirty episodes to thirty-six!

You might not have understood why before, but after seeing the price of the Bright Sword TV series, you should know now!

These six episodes are all money!

Shan Tianxiang and the other veteran actors exchanged glances, all silently making up their minds—no question about it, they were following Young Master Bu!

”Alright, alright, it’s a trifle; there’s no need to be so excited,” Lu Xiaobu said, waving his hand.

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, everyone laughed.

Indeed, your Young Master is still your Young Master!

Ten billion, something that for them would be a once-in-a-lifetime, or even several lifetimes’ affair, is just a trivial matter in Young Master Bu’s eyes!

”Sister Lan, patch me through to a video call with those people from the film company,” Lu Xiaobu said, leaning back in his chair and pointing at the gym’s big screen.

”Yes, Young Master!”

Liang Lan’s eyebrows raised—here it comes; she knew the Young Master was certainly up to something!

”Young Master, they’re not accepting the video call!”

Liang Lan said helplessly, holding the phone.

”Give it to me.”

Lu Xiaobu took the phone from Liang Lan’s hand: ”Get your boss on the line.”

On the other end was a secretary’s voice: ”We’ve told you, our boss is very busy, without an appointment, there’ll be no meeting!”

”Chang Yong’an, I know you’re right there; you listen to me, lad. You’d better connect the video promptly, or I’ll bring a thousand people over to your house. Guess if I dare?”

Lu Xiaobu took a sip of his drink and spoke with a kind of Jianghu righteousness.

Without a doubt, hearing his Lu Xiaobu’s call, Chang Yong’an couldn’t possibly just let a secretary answer the phone—he was surely squatting by, listening in.

Silence for a moment.

”Fine!” Chang Yong’an’s voice came through.

Would he dare to guess if Lu Xiaobu would go through with it?!

No need to guess, because there’s nothing Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t dare to do!

He said he’d bring people over to his house, and he definitely would!

”Oh, and gather all your accomplices, I remember there being about twenty or so companies, right? Make sure they’re all there! Miss one, and you will answer to me!”

Lu Xiaobu, holding his wine bowl with arms wide open, truly emanated the aura of an ancient Knight!

What I say, you comply; otherwise, we will have a bloody confrontation today!

Dare you or not!

Chang Yong’an was utterly aggrieved!

Even though, be it in terms of the rich list status, position in the film industry, or wealth, he was much stronger than Lu Xiaobu!

And yet, here he was, in such a pitiable state!

Scolded by Lu Xiaobu as if being reprimanded like a son!

But he didn’t dare to disobey!

After all, he had once knelt before Lu Xiaobu; if this fact was spread by Lu Xiaobu, he might as well end his own misery!

Under the ’diligent and devoted’ arrangements of Chang Yong’an.

Very soon.

More than twenty faces appeared on the big screen of the gym.

However, their expressions were far from pleasant!

There was anger, aggrievement, grinding of teeth, and seething resentment!

But that had little to do with Lu Xiaobu!

Lu Xiaobu slammed his wine cup onto the table and pointed with his thumb at Shan Tianxiang and the others behind him: ”I want their bans lifted! Any objections!?”

A single sentence, brimming with domineering authority!
