Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Upon Liang Lan’s words, the entire venue shook.
They could tell that this beauty with a queenly demeanor was probably someone from that Mainland tycoon’s camp.
However, the words that came out of this queenly woman’s mouth drove them all crazy!
What was up with this queenly sister?
She actually demanded that Li Chao’s father, Li Yurong, kneel and apologize?!
How could she say something like that?!
They were shocked, but Li Chao panicked: "You’re Liang Lan, President Liang! That one is Li Xide, President Li?!"
His pupils dilated instantly.
He didn’t know Lu Xiaobu, but he recognized Liang Lan, and the Li Xide in the very corner.
Because these past few days, his father had repeatedly shown him their photos, instructing him to treat them with the utmost respect upon meeting them.
Whether the Li Family could make a comeback, or even return to their former glory, depended on these two!
Hearing what Liang Lan said, he was even more convinced that these were the people his father had mentioned.
However, what did they call that Mainlander?
Young Master?!
Who was their Young Master?!
Suddenly, a name burst into his mind!
Lu! Xiao! Bu!
In an instant, Li Chao’s face turned deathly pale.
He actually insulted their family’s savior?!
No, their savior’s boss!
If his father found out, he’d probably skin him alive!
Although he was arrogant, he wasn’t stupid!
He knew that without the Li Family, he was nothing!
But in this era where smartphones completely crush old phones, if the Li Family fell out with Lu Xiaobu, it would be like — digging their own grave!
So!
"Thump!"
Li Chao struggled out of his car, and just like that, his knees gave way!
He knelt down!
"Young Master Bu, I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai, I was a dog looking down on people, I apologize to you, I apologize!"
Li Chao said in a panic.
Seeing this scene, everyone from Xiangjiang went crazy!
Holy shit, what am I seeing?!
Am I dreaming?
Li Chao is actually kneeling to this Mainlander?!
This is kneeling, for God’s sake!
Even if the other person’s status is very high, very formidable.
But this is Xiangjiang after all, didn’t you go too far?!
"Young Master Bu, you are magnanimous, please just let me off as if I was nothing!"
Li Chao continued to plead.
He couldn’t care less about the incomprehension and disdain from those Xiangjiang people.
They think he was foolish, but he thinks they’re the foolish ones!
Do they really think it’s easy to mix in the business world?
What’s kneeling down?
If this one kneel could earn Lu Xiaobu’s forgiveness, what he would gain is a contract worth over ten billion.
How much are the total assets of their Li Family?!
To those who stand and talk without back pain, would you kneel for ten billion? Would you?!
You wouldn’t? So arrogant!
Then go play by the sidelines!
You don’t want it, but I do!
"You’re apologizing? You’re not qualified. I told you, call your dad over! Scram!" Liang Lan didn’t even glance at Li Chao.
The people of Xiangjiang suddenly swallowed hard!
What?
Li Chao already kneeled down to apologize, and it’s still not enough?!
Li Chao, who, in their eyes, could reach the clouds, wasn’t even qualified to apologize?!
Who exactly was this young man who had been all smiles and amiable conversations with them?
Can you imagine?
They actually chatted casually with a big shot who’s so high up that even Li Chao isn’t qualified to apologize to him.
This isn’t just a level that’s approachable to everyone, okay?
Liang Lan then smiled and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, some people from Xiangjiang want to invite you to dinner, what do you think?"
"Dinner again?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.
He hated these kinds of dinner gatherings!
"It’s not the business circle, but entertainment industry stars," Liang Lan explained, "the movie people who posted on Weibo after the last Golden Fire Award."
"Oh, them. Then let’s go."
Lu Xiaobu thought about it; they did support him last time, it seemed rude not to give face.
"Alright, I’ll let them know, they should be arriving soon."
Liang Lan nodded.
Just as their conversation ended.
A convoy of luxury cars arrived from the distance.
This was the real fleet of luxury cars, with bodyguards flanking both sides.
Much more formidable than the show-off, flaunting-wealth convoy of Li Chao’s team - by more than just double!
These were the true elites!
"Mr. Lu, hello there! Finally meeting in person, I’ve long admired you from afar!"
At this moment, a muscular man got out of the car and extended his hand towards Lu Xiaobu.
The internationally renowned action movie star—Chen Kun.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by fans.
If it hadn’t been for the bodyguards holding them back, he and Lu Xiaobu would almost have been swamped.
"Chen Kun, Chen Kun!"
"I love you!"
"Please give me an autograph!"
"..."
"Big brother Chen Kun! I grew up watching your movies."
Lu Xiaobu let out a laugh, offering up flattery like a pro!
As for watching movies?
Heh.
He hadn’t been here that long!
"Little brother Lu, you’re making me feel old here."
Chen Kun laughed heartily.
Radiating happiness.
Everyone loves the praise heaped upon a palanquin’s carrier.
Since he received courtesy, he responded with even greater politeness, readily addressing each other as brothers.
"Not at all, not at all. Big brother Chen, you’re still young."
Lu Xiaobu replied with a smile, too.
"Let’s go; the restaurant is all set, everyone is waiting for you. They all wanted to come out to welcome you, but were afraid it would cause a commotion, so they sent me to represent them, don’t mind it!" said Chen Kun cheerfully.
"Then let’s head out." Lu Xiaobu said merrily.
As for Li Chao kneeling on the ground, neither of them spared him a glance.
Such a person simply didn’t catch their eyes.
Maybe if his father had come, it would have made a difference.
Those from Xiangjiang who first started interacting with Lu Xiaobu were now stunned, their jaws dropping in shock!
Oh my God!
They thought he was just a Bronze, but he turned out to be a King!
And not just any King, but a world-class King!
A King to whom Chen Kun personally extended courteous greetings and brotherly familiarity!
No wonder Li Chao wasn’t even qualified to apologize, because they weren’t on the same level at all!
Would an elephant accept an apology from an ant?
No, because an elephant can crush many ants with a single foot!
Suddenly.
A sense of pride rose within them.
See that?
Such an awesome figure had just spoken to them!
Does that mean they’re on the same level as Chen Kun now?
Of course, they were just deluding themselves.
"Could I get your autograph?"
The saleswoman from earlier mustered her courage again.
Suddenly she picked up the piece of clothing that they had insistently kept in their store, eagerly asking Lu Xiaobu.
"My autograph?"
Lu Xiaobu burst into a laugh.
Someone wanted his signature.
This was a first-time experience—like a bride going to her wedding!
"Yes, can I?"
The saleswoman asked hopefully.
"Sure."
Lu Xiaobu took the pen and scrawled his name on the clothing in a flamboyant flourish.
Well, quite ugly indeed.
Truthfully, he couldn’t even stand to look at his own handwriting.
Yet.
The people around him started praising it.
As if it were a piece of art.
"Great!"
"Such beautiful writing!"
"Is this cursive script?"
"Beautiful!"
"Just this signature is worth fifty thousand!"
"..."
Truth be told, these compliments made Lu Xiaobu feel quite embarrassed!
But what could he do, this was the difference in status.
"How about me, Young Master Bu..."
The one who had spoken first, Ye Zhuo, also hesitantly asked, his punishment hadn’t yet been decided.
"You?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Go back and publicly apologize for your regional prejudice. Let everyone know the real situation, stop infighting all the time!"
"Okay, I understand."
Ye Zhuo let out a sigh of relief. Young Master Bu was truly generous.
He would report the incident exactly as it happened.
However, what he didn’t expect was that his decision would draw national attention to Lu Xiaobu.
