Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1307: Congratulations Are in Order

Elder Yu hurriedly left right after eating a piece of cake; the clue provided by Xiaobu was extremely critical, and there was no time to waste.

Setting up a research institute is never easy; the investment in any aspect is astronomical, and its combined value, especially once research results are obtained, becomes even higher!

If we can take them all down this time, heh heh, we’ll be rich!

Dared to set it up near the Heavenly Dynasty’s borders? It’s obvious why!

Moreover, Elder Ding soon identified several suspects; those few countries are very likely!

But I must say, Xiaobu’s luck is remarkable.

Just out having fun and he encounters such a situation.

Of course, it’s also because that John is a blockhead.

If John had a bit of brains—hmm... wait, whether he had brains or not didn’t seem to matter much in front of Xiaobu.

From the moment John decided to seek out Xiaobu by himself, everything was destined to happen!

...

Regardless of Elder Yu’s side, Xiaobu’s life here returned to a state of tranquility.

Playing with birds and walking dogs are Xiaobu’s daily pastime.

Yeah, playing with birds, playing with birds, you know what I mean, cough cough cough!

Meanwhile, the exchange of interests between the Lu Group and the Lin Group was gradually nearing completion.

One reason is that Lin Feng has mostly consolidated his current power.

The second is that Lin Feng’s second uncle—Lin Tianshen’s reflection period ended, and he’s out of the ancestral shrine.

As soon as Lin Tianshen came out, he launched a retaliatory attack on Lin Feng; although it didn’t cause major harm, it still caused chaos.

This is normal; internal strife, both sides have intertwined forces, knowing each other well means the fight is naturally vicious.

Xiaobu doesn’t care about these; with the indispensable help of 4G technology, the Lu Group continues to grow and strengthen.

After all, any country wanting to keep up with the times would surely choose to adopt 4G technology, and to do so, they must use the Lu Group’s patents.

Alright then, if you want to use it, give us some benefits!

Plus, since you are using 4G, introducing other businesses is only natural!

Just like that, the Lu Group completed a transformation almost in an instant.

From a domestic company, it became an international giant, with subsidiaries in several countries, a true juggernaut.

The ten thousand Iron Cavalry no longer lingered at the Lu Group’s headquarters every day; they were all promoted.

Except for a few who stayed at the headquarters, the rest were practically traveling daily... um, or you could call it a tour.

Whatever they do doesn’t matter, the Lu Group employees just have this nature.

When it’s time to work, they’re serious, but when it’s time to play, they don’t skimp on it either!

There’s no helping it; ten thousand employees just within the country seem plenty, but scattered globally, this number seems insufficient, so everything makes sense.

Meanwhile, the domestic rich list ranking keeps climbing, eventually settling at eighty-fifth.

This means Xiaobu’s assets have reached over 200 billion.

Congratulations, many congratulations!

Of course, there are quite a few troubles as well.

On the surface, every country wants to invest in the Lu Group, saying they want to buy shares, and they’re letting us set the price.

As long as we let them own shares, they’ll offer tons of benefits, like tax reductions or exemptions, as no problem.

Once they own shares, they can exert some pressure on the Lu Group and thus gain some say within it.

This is understandable; since the Lu Group isn’t going public, they seem to have only this method to gain shares!

Secretly, however, there’s continuous tracking and surveillance of Lu Group employees.

This is to guard against Xiaobu, preventing him from deploying these employees to gather intelligence.

This is even easier to understand, the events that happened before Japan are still fresh in memory.

Some countries even directly put these conditions on the table: the Lu Group can enter, providing benefits is fine!

But, Xiaobu cannot casually enter the country!

Of course, Xiaobu blissfully accepts these conditions, no refusals.

He’s not some troublemaker who creates issues out of idleness!

And the Lu Group’s response is straightforward.

On the surface, just two words—no sale!

Under the surface, adapting to changes by remaining unchanged; as long as the employees follow the law, these monitoring individuals aren’t a problem, but rather become a sort of protection.

After all, Xiaobu has made it clear, if someone errs, they should be punished; if innocent and someone unjustly captures them, he’s going to take a stroll!

This has led to many Lu Group employees at times getting drunk in the evening, and when returning late, if they encounter some blind thugs, even before they act, a large group of cops appear to beat up those thugs!

Some even made serious protests in some countries—when we need protection, we don’t see you actively doing this!

Of course, not every country accepts these terms.

Countries like America and Japan still grit their teeth and hold on, unwilling to be subject to any control.

Especially not being subject to Xiaobu!

Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing.

Elder Yu’s actions had an effect; although the other party was vigilant and ultimately self-destructed the research institute, some gains were still achieved, having a significant impact on our base’s research.

Meanwhile, the exoskeleton project led by Xiaobu, using poison to fight poison, restoring half-normal Xiaoya in charge of it is also developing rapidly.

Of course, similar to Earth, it has hit a bottleneck in energy.

At the same time, it’s been a time of double happiness for the Lu Family.

Lu Wenhuo got married.

Lu Hongbin had a child, yes, a son.

Lu’s father wore a constant grin of joy under these double blessings.

The only concern he had was the second daughter-in-law being a chain smoker, having an occasional cigarette was understandable, as he wasn’t inflexible.

But smoking more than the three big men of the Lu Family combined daily, how would that be acceptable?

So, Lu’s father often worried about this.

However, although concerned, he wasn’t the kind of unreasonable parent who stirred up conflicts intentionally.

He was seeking a reasonable solution.

...

”Hey? By the way, aren’t we filming a reality show?” Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, remembering something.

”Yes, Young Master, the ’Sing Life’ reality show is currently being filmed,” Su Luoxue nodded.

The filming of this reality show would take half a year, so it hadn’t concluded yet.

For half a year, we had bought out the singers’ entire schedules, placed them on a small island leased by the Lu Group at Qian Island Lake, letting them compose songs, which was the essence of the program.

Of course, a director was overseeing it all.

We couldn’t really let them roam freely; if any sparks flew or trouble ensued, it would be problematic!

”Let’s go, let’s take a look!” Xiaobu decided impulsively.
