Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

"Like I said before, domestic condiment market is only so big, and already divided among a few major companies.
And they absolutely do not want the benefits originally theirs to be stolen by Lu Xiaobu.
So.
Faced with a common and incredibly powerful enemy, the condiment companies were forced to unite!
And so!
On that very day, within just a few short hours, even before it got dark.
A campaign initiated by the giant in the seasoning industry—Mao Yuan Company.
Passed unanimously by the major companies, with the smaller companies following, the blockade began.
Together, they issued a statement to all supermarkets nationwide.
The statement was straightforward.
If any supermarket dares to stock Lu Xiaobu’s chili sauce...
Then, sorry, but all these companies will pull their products from that supermarket!
Conversely.
If the supermarket follows their statement.
Then, each of their companies will sacrifice some of their profits.
This carrot-and-stick approach may be old but it’s effective.
The condiment companies are also very clear.
Utterly annihilating Lu Xiaobu is nonsense.
Who is Lu Xiaobu?
Even lavishing money will scarcely keep them afloat.
So, their goal isn’t complete annihilation.
Rather, it’s to buy time.
Besides issuing statements, they also invested a lot of money to establish a research department.
They want to crack or create a similar tasting chili sauce.
Just wait until they have some research results; by then, releasing Lu Xiaobu back into the wild won’t matter much!
After the statement was delivered.
Apart from the supermarkets in Shimen hesitating, all others in various provinces promptly agreed.
After all, nobody is foolish.
Direct control is better than regional oversight.
Lu Xiaobu might be impressive, but that’s in other industries.
Agreeing to the statement, there would be no change in business and more money to boot.
Disagreeing with the statement, banking on Lu Xiaobu’s potential, would mean lost profits, lost customers.
So.
Is it better to choose the longstanding, profit-stable major companies’ joint statement?
Or to choose Lu Group, making its first foray into the condiment industry with seemingly just one type of chili sauce?
Obviously, the choice is clear.
As supermarket owners received the news, so did Lu Xiaobu and his team.
’A bunch of morons, such imbecilic tactics,’ said Liang Lan disdainfully upon seeing the statement: ’We can easily set up our own stores nationwide, and this clearly shows they just want to crack our secret recipe—it’s too easy of a thought.’
’But, as stupid as their approach is, it still really pisses me off,’ snapped Xiaobu irritably: ’When have we ever been targeted so blatantly?!’
’Exactly, exactly! It’s so infuriating!’ Wu Qianmin also said, clenching her fists and waving them around.
’They’ve got some nerve, that’s for sure!’
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes clouded over.
This so-called blockade, although doomed to fail, doesn’t mean he will just quietly wait for that moment!
Who is he!?
He’s Lu Xiaobu!
Since others are targeting him now, can he tolerate it?!
It’s like a patient, doomed to die in three months, comes up to you and arrogantly slaps you.
What then?
Just because he’s going to die in three months, you’re going to endure it?
Endure my ass!
Hit right back!
If he wants to die, let him go do it somewhere else and stop f***ing bothering other people before he goes!
However, just when Lu Xiaobu was about to explode and crush them with money.
Something completely unexpected happened.
And it was all because the statement got into the internal ranks of the Lu Group!
Lu Group, which had just decided to fight to the death for Lu Xiaobu!
’F**k, Mao Yuan this bastard! I’m going to kill him!’
’Who are they bullying!? Who!??’
’They’re blockading our company!?’
"Believe it or not, our hundred thousand brothers can chop you to death in minutes!"
"Damn it! I’m so mad!"
"What meal to eat, eat? Not eating anymore!"
"I’m full just from being angry!"
"..."
On the internal network of Lu Group, there are these kinds of extremely angry comments.
But soon, one message abruptly rose up and stormed to the first place!
"Please let me fight for my life once!"
Open the post.
Inside, there are no extra words, just a leave request.
Boss, I want to go and fight for Young Master Xiaobu, who has been demeaned by others. They are banning Young Master Xiaobu, right? Then I will use these legs, step by step to open the market, please approve!
Applicant: Gan Jun.
Yes, that’s the same Gan Jun who was kicked out at the beginning.
Others were moved by Lu Xiaobu’s actions, but he was completely in tears!
Now seeing Young Master Xiaobu being bullied.
Can he endure it?!
However, his mind is straightforward, no twists and turns!
So, using his legs, carrying chili sauce, and selling it around the streets and alleys, this is the only method he thought of!
Very naive, very laughable, but it is indeed powerful.
People at Lu Group saw Gan Jun’s post.
No nonsense spoken.
They just silently started replying to the post.
Applicant: Zhang Lei.
Applicant: Xu Song.
Applicant: Wu Tianmo.
Applicant: Xu Li.
Applicant: ...
...
The number of replies to the post quickly surged.
Five hundred.
One thousand.
Five thousand.
Ten thousand!
Fifty thousand!
Eighty thousand!
And this is not yet the end, the number is still rising, still rising!
No superfluous replies, just one application after another added with names.
But the kind of power that was reflected, it was heart-shaking!
This matter directly alarmed seven CEOs.
They wanted to laugh, they wanted to cry, but they were incredibly touched!
As you sow, so shall you reap.
Starting from the annual meeting, Young Master Xiaobu planted a seed of Lu Group in their hearts, thus gaining the utmost loyalty of these hundred thousand employees!
In this lifetime, have you ever fought to the death for someone?!
All the employees of Lu Group, are willing to fight to the death for Young Master Xiaobu!
Dislike it, think it’s stupid, think it’s naive, think it’s crazy, then go ahead and curse!
They don’t care!
The CEO of Sincere IT sat in his chair, looking at the replies.
A mysterious power was surging in his heart!
This is the cohesion of Lu Group, this is the personality of Lu Group!
They can play crazily, and they can also fight desperately!
So, he closed his eyes, then reopened them, and a frantic emotion burst forth!
Let’s go crazy once!
He opened the post, replied: "All leave requests from Sincere IT, approved! Also, Applicant: Tian Xuning!"
Seeing Tian Xuning’s message, the other six CEOs all smiled knowingly and simultaneously pressed the enter key.
"All leave requests from Creation Chinese Website, approved! Also, Applicant: Zhang Guan."
"All leave requests from Jueying Company, approved! Also, Applicant..."
"All leave requests from Juechen Company, approved! Also..."
"All leave requests from Brain Black Gold Company..."
"Cola Company..."
"LOL Company..."
