Chapter 784: Chapter 782: Rubbing Against the Ground [Fifth Update]

Xia Jie was really about to explode with anger!

Perhaps some people think that a reward of five or ten yuan, or even a hundred yuan, is more humiliating for him!

But actually, it’s not!

Because that amount of money, to them, doesn’t count as money!

If Lu Xiaobu really dared to give out a hundred yuan, people would just think Lu Xiaobu is childish!

In the end, it’s Lu Xiaobu who would be humiliated!

But with a thousand or more, the nature of it changes!

Moreover, Lu Xiaobu usually hands out rewards of five thousand or ten thousand so easily!

And now, he only gives Xia Jie three thousand!?

Damn it all!

If this isn’t humiliation, what is?!

Honestly, Xia Jie really wants to pick a fight with Lu Xiaobu right now!

But, everyone knows how strong Zhang Meng is!

So, he can only temporarily suppress this thought!

Remember, temporarily! Temporarily!

Once Black Rose arrives, it’ll be possible!

His strength isn’t in fighting or in displaying grandeur, but in strategizing!

”Everyone, please take a seat!”

Xia Jie said through gritted teeth.

He knew, by saying these words, it meant he had conceded in this confrontation with Lu Xiaobu!

But what else could he do?!

Lu Xiaobu is now standing at the door; if Lu Xiaobu throws in another line—calling them a bunch of trash, saying he’s fed up with playing with them—

and then turns around and leaves!

Tell me, what the hell can he do?!

Thinking of this, he clenched his teeth in hate!

He had schemed and calculated, but he never anticipated that Lu Xiaobu would pull such a stunt right from the start!

Your mom’s a whore!

Before, Lu Xiaobu was only known for playing his cards in an unconventional manner!

But today, damn it, he starts off with a royal flush!

Son of a bitch!

This isn’t playing out of turn anymore, this is damn flipping the table!!!

How outrageous!

”Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

The sound of Lu Xiaobu smacking his lips came from behind Xia Jie, causing Xia Jie’s already bulging veins on his face to nearly explode!

Too damn outrageous!

The foreplay ends.

Both parties take their seats.

And now, with the seating, came another problem!

That is, the issue of Lu Xiaobu’s seat!

Of course, it wasn’t that Xia Jie didn’t arrange a seat for Lu Xiaobu.

He did, and it was perfectly reasonable!

That was to arrange the seats according to the rankings.

If it were a normal time, of course there would be no problem—perfectly reasonable!

But, today is different!

Because today involves a problem of the main character.

If they are at the main table, then they are the main characters!

If Lu Xiaobu follows the rules, he can only obediently take a seat further down.

What does this suggest!?

Lu Xiaobu has chickened out!

Surely, some might say, could Lu Xiaobu stick to the rules?!

Xia Jie, of course, had thought of that!

You, Lu Xiaobu, can take any seat you like at the main table!

Just say the word, and anyone will give up their seat to you!

But!

Doing so will inevitably provoke public outrage!

Of course, of course, Lu Xiaobu isn’t afraid of public outrage, he knows!

But just because he’s not afraid, does that mean Lu Group isn’t afraid?!

Is Alipay not afraid?!

Bear in mind, a ’war’ is currently underway!

And let’s not forget, the officials from the rich list are here too!

Wait until they slap a label on you, temporarily removing you from the rich list—let’s see then how uncomfortable you’ll feel!

You know what it feels like to be removed from the list, don’t you, Lu Xiaobu?

So, sitting in the chief seat, Xia Jie’s gloomy face eventually eased up a little!

He is waiting for Lu Xiaobu’s choice!

Admit defeat, or lose the bigger picture because of a small mistake?!

”Not bad, not bad.”

Lu Xiaobu walked into the hall, looking at the people in front of him with a corner of his mouth curling into an arc.

They were setting a trap for him!

But who said I had to take the bait?!

”Are the official personnel of the Wealth Rankings here?” Lu Xiaobu asked, cocking his head.

”What do you want?”

A person stood up; he looked like a leader as he asked Lu Xiaobu with a frown.

As long as both sides were reasonable and not excessive, they were merely bystanders.

Just like a moment ago, when Lu Xiaobu walked in. Although his methods were brusque, they were still within reason!

Even though it was twisted reasoning!

But, what does Lu Xiaobu want from them now?!

Asking them to intervene?! They don’t have time for that!

”I just want to ask, who exactly is leading the Wealth Rankings? Or is it the public notary?”

Lu Xiaobu asked calmly.

”Of course, it’s the public notary!”

The leader of the Wealth Rankings said decisively, ”We are only responsible for verifying and have no authority to command you!”

”Good, then explain this to me.”

Lu Xiaobu threw out a cell phone, which was playing the recording of a call he received yesterday from that person!

A recording full of commands!

”Please tell me, is it within your Wealth Rankings’ duties to talk to me like this during the New Year’s?!”

Lu Xiaobu said indifferently, ”If I don’t get an explanation, I might have to find a place to argue my case!”

With these words, the face of the leader of the Wealth Rankings—Li Yongfei—turned ugly in an instant!

This was a blatant threat!

But he had no words to refute!

Because the voice in the recording was indeed commanding!

Just this one point alone, if Lu Xiaobu made a fuss, it wouldn’t just be that idiot, even he, Li Yongfei, couldn’t escape responsibility!

Damn it! What an idiot!

He couldn’t help but curse that idiot in his heart!

Lu Xiaobu hasn’t fallen yet; he’s still one of the ranked in the Wealth Rankings!

What were you so anxious about, giving Xia Jie’s side what they wanted?!

Now look, Lu Xiaobu’s got a hold of your shortcoming, hasn’t he?!

”How would Mr. Lu like to handle this?”

Li Yongfei sighed.

It’s best to clear this up quickly!

”Call him out.”

Lu Xiaobu said calmly.

These calm words stirred up a great wave in Xia Jie’s ears!

What is this Lu Xiaobu trying to do?!

Targeting his own person within the Wealth Rankings?!

No way! Absolutely not!

He’d rather take some grievances upon himself than let Lu Xiaobu lay hands on his man!

You might ask why?!

Let me tell you, do you know how hard it is to plant one’s own man in the Wealth Rankings?!

Do you know how useful it is when one needs a loan, or in other situations that require social credibility, for a person from the Wealth Rankings to speak for him?!

Even if that person is just a pawn!

So.

”President Lu, please, take a seat over here.”

Xia Jie, grinding his teeth and with a steel-cold face, stood up and personally added a chair beside him!

There was science in placing this chair.

It split the main seat position into two, half for Xia Jie, half for Lu Xiaobu!

What does this mean?!

It means that Xia Jie has conceded once again!

Trading face to have Lu Xiaobu bypass that idiot!

It’s frustrating, but there’s no choice!

”Oh? Inviting me over?” A cold smile tugged at the corner of Lu Xiaobu’s mouth.

Playing with me? Come on!

”Of course, it’s New Year’s Eve today. It’s all about having fun! Let’s not talk about unpleasant matters!”

Xia Jie forced a slight smile on his ashen face!

The message was clear!

I give you the seat, you spare him!

At the same time, Xia Jie was shouting inside his head—Black Rose, why haven’t you come yet!? I’ve been rubbed into the ground by Lu Xiaobu twice already!

Ah, speak of the devil and he shall appear!
