Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 826: Chapter 824: Ascending the Throne

Upon entering, the employees didn’t need any instructions and automatically found their places.

After all, the Thunder God eSports hall belonged to the Lu Group, and each of them had discount cards and visited frequently.

Soon, the Thunder God eSports hall was filled with people.

The structure of the Thunder God eSports hall was similar to that of a large shopping mall; the floors weren’t completely sealed off but rather were open in the middle.

The very center of the first floor had become a huge stage.

And there was a huge screen suspended in the open middle space, so people on each floor could see what was happening on the stage through it!

”Brothers and sisters! I announce the official start of the Lu Group’s annual event!” The host excitedly stood in the middle of the stage, shouting into the microphone, ”Next, let’s invite our most respected Young Master Bu to say a few words!”

As soon as the words were spoken!

The entire Thunder God eSports hall erupted!

”Young Master Bu, long live, unify the Jianghu!”

”Young Master Bu, long live, unify the Jianghu!”

”Young Master Bu, long live, unify the Jianghu!”

”Young Master Bu, long live, unify the Jianghu!”

”...”

The unified slogan was shouted hysterically by the employees!

The sound was truly deafening!

The journalists were stunned!

”Oh my god! Is it really this crazy?” A reporter looked up at the red-faced, hysterical Lu Group employees, feeling a bit dizzy.

Even his head was buzzing.

”What did you say?!” The photographer beside him shouted.

The sound was too loud; he couldn’t hear what the reporter was saying.

”I said, is it really this crazy?!” The reporter also shouted.

”What? You want to shut down?! No way! We’re live streaming!” The photographer misunderstood!

”We don’t have an international broadcast, only domestic!” The reporter also misunderstood!

”What? You said international blessings have been sent?! How come I didn’t receive any?!”

”Pigs are flying?! What pigs?!”

And so, these two kids veered off on their tangent, not returning!

Viewers watching the live stream were shocked.

They quickly turned down the sound!

”Damn it, such a sudden scare, almost gave me a heart attack!”

This is too crazy!

However, something awkward happened.

You could turn down the volume to the lowest, but it was still too loud.

But if you turned it any lower, it would be zero and silent!

Luckily, Lu Xiaobu came on stage at this time and alleviated the awkwardness.

Lu Xiaobu extended his hand and clenched his fist.

Instantly, the entire venue fell silent.

From extreme noise to extreme silence, it only took a single sound!

This sudden pin-drop silence made the audience’s hearts skip a beat again.

”Damn it! Just watching a live stream can be life-threatening!”

”My heart almost stopped from the shock!”

”You said it! From such wild noise to sudden silence!”

”...”

What was even more terrifying to them was Lu Xiaobu’s power to command!

Things had become so crazy just now, and with just a single fist clench, it was utterly silent?!

Seriously!

How does it not feel like an annual event, but more like a holy pilgrimage?

Well, the reporter and the photographer also ended their discussion about whether pigs could fly.

”Over the past year, we’ve weathered many storms yet remained unshakeable! What moved me the most was that in the company’s most critical moments, no one mentioned quitting! No one said they couldn’t hold on any longer!”

”You gritted your teeth and held firm!”

”I have seen your figures collapse weakly on keyboards from exhaustion!”

”I have seen you sneaking back to the company unnoticed to continue working overtime!”

”I have also seen you collapsed in the infirmary, getting IVs yet never forgetting your work!”

”Everything you’ve done I have seen, and I have remembered in my heart!”

”I, Lu Xiaobu, have always respected my kin and feared nothing under the sky!”

”And today, I want to say thank you to everyone!”

As Lu Xiaobu spoke here, he bowed toward the audience: ”Thank you!”

”Clatter!”

At the instant Lu Xiaobu bowed, everyone in the venue stood up, without exception!

Then, toward the figure at the center of the stage, they bowed: ”It’s us who should thank you, Young Master Bu!”

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Aside from the photographer faithfully recording this scene with his camera, everyone else was motionless.

The cameras even captured many employees with red-rimmed eyes.

This was not a performance; this was not an act.

This was just their most genuine emotional outpouring!

Though, as the saying goes, words repeated thrice become bland as water, yet in their hearts, it was still the same phrase—such a company, such a boss, is worth a lifetime of loyalty!

The viewers of the live broadcast had complex emotions in their eyes.

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu’s attitude once again impacted their hearts.

In a society long dominated by wealth, cold and indifferent!

The workplace often likened to a battlefield, a phrase everyone has heard.

Colleagues are often not partners but backstabbing enemies!

The boss is seen as the ultimate enemy trying to exploit them in every possible way!

They are accustomed to smiling sycophantically during the day and wishing to uproot their boss’s ancestors at night!

When the boss needs you to contribute to the company, they’ll tell you to treat the company as your home.

However, when you make demands of the company, the boss would still tell you—do you think the company is your home?

So they long ceased to believe in the BS about companies being like family!

You pay me, and I do my job, nothing more!

However, today’s scene told them!

There are indeed such idealized companies, such seemingly fantastical companies in the world!

Of course, they understand how impossible this is to replicate!

This requires a company without investors, not controlled by investors!

And more so someone like Lu Xiaobu, who never regards money as actual money, at the helm.

Of course, there are many other factors besides.

But these two points, particularly the second, are crucial!

Many people at this moment felt not touched but envious!

They looked enviously at the 100,000-strong Iron Cavalry standing there, wishing they could be one of them.

To share in this moment!

People often say in life, a single confidant is enough, to describe how precious true friendship is!

But at this moment, they knew!

A boss like Lu Xiaobu is rarer than a confidant!

”Snap!”

At this moment, the sound of a snap pulled everyone’s thoughts back.

”Alright, everything that needs saying has been said. Next, it’s time to start our routine activities! To the throne!”

With a wave of Lu Xiaobu’s hand, the large door behind began to open slowly!

The next moment, countless people’s eyes turned red, their breaths quickening!

Finally, it’s here!
