Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1111: Gold Card

After Fu Zhongshan made the arrangements, he continued chatting with Lu Xiaobu as if nothing had happened.

However, the people present were no ordinary folks, and word of what happened quickly reached their ears through various channels.

”My goodness, President Fu personally called the shots, getting all the big literati in the country to attend the competition?!”

”No way! Lu Xiaobu’s influence has reached such heights?!”

”This is madness! It doesn’t seem like Lu Xiaobu even said much!”

”I really can’t understand the interaction between these big shots at all, totally beyond me!”

”Ah, when will we reach that level?!”

”...”

This banquet was supposed to be the birthday party for the Xue Family’s young lady, with the young people as the main focus. However, once Lu Xiaobu revealed his identity, especially when Fu Zhongshan arrived, the spotlight shifted.

So now, even though it was time to cut the cake, no one mentioned it, and everyone was quietly waiting instead.

The Xue Family’s young lady was waiting on the side, listening to the conversation between Lu Xiaobu and her father. Until there was a gap, she whispered to ask if it was okay to cut the cake.

Upon getting permission, she went to arrange the cutting of the cake and brought the first slice over.

Some might wonder if she was angry about having her spotlight taken away?!

Of course not, she was even a bit happy!

If an ordinary person were to outshine her, she’d surely be furious!

But if it’s Lu Xiaobu, it’s an honor instead!

Not to mention, just saying that Lu Xiaobu attended her birthday party would make countless others envious to madness!

Even if it wasn’t originally because of her, so what?!

The name Lu Xiaobu alone is enough!

Lu Xiaobu continued chatting with Fu Zhongshan.

”I just saw an interesting fortune teller; is he one of your people?” Lu Xiaobu asked with a smile.

”Oh, no, that’s a special service of the resort. I heard the fortune teller is quite something, supposedly someone from Jianghu; oh, Jianghu, you probably know about that.” Fu Zhongshan chuckled.

Jianghu is mysterious to ordinary people, but for folks like them, it’s almost semi-public knowledge!

After all, the Xue Family is a representative from the Jianghu on the Divine List, and this kind of thing has long started to spread.

”Indeed, he’s quite skilled,” Lu Xiaobu nodded and said, ”It’s pretty accurate.”

”Haha, to be honest, I’ve also consulted him, but the thing is, he’s precise when discussing your past, but when it comes to predicting something, he becomes evasive,” Fu Zhongshan laughed heartily.

He was actually a bit surprised; they all said Lu Xiaobu was difficult to deal with, but seeing him today, he didn’t seem troublesome at all. Although his manner of speaking and acting is somewhat unrestrained, considering his age, it’s understandable!

At his age, achieving this, following the rules just wouldn’t cut it, right?

However, what he didn’t know was that Lu Xiaobu had also changed his view of Fu Zhongshan, or rather the First Level Rich List.

Do you guys remember?

In fact, as Lu Xiaobu climbed from the Newcomer Rich List, through the Third Level Rich List and Second Level Rich List, up to many occasions, he didn’t provoke things himself, but others targeted him.

It’s as though his existence posed a threat to them.

However, upon reaching the First Level Rich List, that sense nowhere to be found.

It’s a bit peculiar.

After chatting for a while longer, Fu Zhongshan glanced at the time and smiled, ”Look, I have another meeting; I think I’ll have to leave first.”

”Alright then, I’ll also take my leave,” Lu Xiaobu said with a cheerful grin, then waved to the Xue Family’s young lady not far away.

The young lady had been paying attention all along, and upon seeing the wave, she immediately ran over, ”Uncle Lu.”

See, she’s directly graduated to calling him Uncle Lu now.

”Well, I must have disrupted your birthday party this time; I really didn’t know what gift to get you. Here, this is a Gold Card for the Thunder God eSports Hall, it’s lifetime free access, just a little gift.” Lu Xiaobu took out a Gold Card and handed it over.

Fu Zhongshan observed this scene and nodded subtly.

Peach and plum reward!

The value of this Gold Card might not match the gift he gave earlier, but it’s not far off either.

While lifetime free access might not be financially significant to them, the symbolic meaning of this Gold Card is extremely different.

It’s practically an Amulet; some situations even Fu might find hard to control, but Lu Xiaobu certainly could.

A person who can run circles around the whole of Japan, who wouldn’t fear him?!

Who knows, it might even save his daughter’s life in a critical moment.

As he thought about this, he didn’t realize it would turn out to be a prophecy fulfilled later when this Gold Card did save his daughter’s life!

Leaving him openly grateful!

”Quickly thank your Uncle Lu,” Fu Zhongshan instructed his daughter.

”Thank you, Uncle Lu,” the Xue Family’s young lady promptly expressed her gratitude.

”Then I’ll take my leave.” Lu Xiaobu cupped his hands towards Fu Zhongshan and left the resort.

Pan Yang and Zheng Hai quickly followed behind.

Once Lu Xiaobu left, Fu Zhongshan told his daughter, ”Keep this card with you at all times. Also, I’ll discuss matters with the Pan Family; you should hang out more with that lad Pan Yang, he’s got good fortune.”

”Yes, Father.” The young lady nodded obediently.

...

Leaving the resort.

Pan Yang and Zheng Hai obediently got into Lu Xiaobu’s car.

”Sit wherever you like and help yourself to anything you want; don’t be reserved,” Lu Xiaobu said casually.

”Okay,” Zheng Hai nodded, still feeling somewhat restrained.

When facing someone who might not be the richest in the Heavenly Dynasty, but definitely the person you least want to provoke, he couldn’t help but feel reserved.

Chubby Pan Yang, on the other hand, was much more relaxed; he stood up and went to the fridge to get drinks, asking while searching, ”Boss, what do you want to drink? Coke, water, or maybe some alcohol? I’ll get it for you! How about you, Zheng Hai?”

”Coke will do,” Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.

He grew increasingly satisfied with this chubby fellow.

Zheng Hai thought for a moment, seeming to understand something, and replied, ”I’ll have coke too.”

”You got it.”

Then the chubby guy came over carrying a big pile of snacks, commenting as he walked, ”The boss’s standard of living is top-notch, it’s all delicious stuff!”

”Pan Yang, can you behave a bit more!” Zheng Hai felt a bit embarrassed, this chubby guy was too unruly.

”What’s wrong? The boss told us to make ourselves at home! Isn’t that right, boss?” Pan Yang asked Lu Xiaobu.

This was also a kind of test; he wanted to know if Lu Xiaobu truly wanted them to feel at home or if it was just polite words.

His relationship with Lu Xiaobu was a bit closer, so perhaps he wouldn’t get upset over a small issue like this.

However, any shift in attitude would be apparent.

”Chubby, catch,” Lu Xiaobu didn’t respond directly but pulled out a cigarette and tossed it over.

”Oh, got it,” Chubby hurriedly grabbed the cigarette, causing everything in his arms to fall to the floor.

”Boss, that’s too much,” Chubby said with a grievance, looking at the food on the ground.

Who knew a big figure like Lu Xiaobu would play pranks on him?!

But this little incident put him at ease.

”Haha! Hahaha!” Lu Xiaobu burst into hearty laughter.

It was time to discuss serious matters.
