Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Although Lu Xiaobu had agreed, Sun Wanqi did not choose to release the news immediately after consulting with Qi Yanfei.
Because the second episode of "The Voice" was about to start filming.
Releasing the news at this time would be overshadowed by "The Voice" news.
And releasing it after "The Voice" airs would add icing on the cake.
For Sun Wanqi, and for "The Voice," it’s the best choice.
...
Currently online, as the second episode of "The Voice" approached, discussions about the show heated up again.
"Stop meowing, ’The Voice’ is about to start!"
"I know, I’m following it! Hope to see Sister Sun meow again!"
"It might be tough this time, better focus on the show instead!"
"It’s finally airing, I’ve been waiting a whole week, I’ve watched the first episode three times!"
"Me too, I rarely watch variety shows, usually just watch foreign ones for the translation! After all, their standards are so high! But Lu Xiaobu’s ’The Voice’ is different! I’ve told those resource websites that we have something better than abroad!"
"The more you talk, the more I can’t wait, I’m going to watch Queen of Heaven’s meow again!"
"Right, what do you guys guess the ratings will be? Over 2% again?"
"It’s hard to say, seems tough."
"It is tough. The first episode was explosive, feels like all resources were concentrated there!"
"But no matter how much it drops, ’The Voice’ has a high base, the ratings won’t be too low!"
"The key is whether there will be outstanding contestants again. If there are a few like Wu Mei and Ning Feiping, the ratings will definitely not fall!"
"Such contestants are rare."
"Rare? More like a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn!"
"Let’s wait and see, it all depends on the quality of the second episode’s contestants!"
"..."
Of course, not all are praises, some are still set on criticizing.
"The first episode’s ratings were too accidental!"
"I agree, one episode is okay, but not necessarily the second or third. ’The Voice’s first episode has severely overspent the market, it can only become weaker afterwards."
"Don’t get your hopes up, the second episode of ’The Voice’ may not be what you imagine!"
Let’s not mention these critics.
But regardless of whether it’s criticism or praise, the heated discussions about "The Voice" can’t be avoided.
...
At the entrance of the recording site.
Zhang Feng and Elder Wang were chatting.
"It’s amazing! The topic of ’The Voice’ is still trending high!"
Zhang Feng said excitedly, "Look, just now, our topic surged again."
"Really? That shouldn’t be!" Elder Wang frowned and said skeptically, "We know the market rules! Even if our show is hot, it’s been several days, how can it still be trending?"
"Seriously, look, it’s those netizens who were discussing Sister Sun’s meow, their conversation naturally carried over to our show ’The Voice’." Zhang Feng showed his phone to Elder Wang.
"Ssst!" Elder Wang sucked in a breath of cold air after looking: "Really? That works?!"
No wonder he was surprised; no show stays hot forever.
Under normal circumstances, after several days, ’The Voice’ would normally decline in popularity.
After all, the entertainment industry is full of news: affairs, divorces, marriages, countless stories to attract the audience.
And now?
Queen of Heaven’s meow keeping ’The Voice’ trending?!
"Do you guys think that Young Master Bu did this on purpose?!"
A female editor suddenly proposed a guess, "After all, Young Master Bu’s strategic planning is famous in the business circle."
"You’re saying..." Zhang Feng’s pupils dilated: "Young Master Bu foresaw all this from the beginning and deliberately let Sister Sun meow?!"
"It’s not impossible!"
Elder Wang swallowed and looked shocked.
"Really terrifying! I’m such a fan!" Zhang Feng said with great admiration.
This would have made Lu Xiaobu roll his eyes if he heard it!
Ah, life is really helpless, always being worshipped for no reason!
He just wanted to hear the Queen of Heaven mimic a cat, and it became a strategic plan.
He feels that if this continues, someone might dig up his toilet to see if there’s gold whenever he uses it!
The color is pretty much the same anyway, cough cough cough!
...
Evening.
Half past eight.
At the Lu Family home.
Lin Shu prepared a large table full of sumptuous dishes.
Lu’s father and the three Lu brothers all sat on the couch.
Liang Lan and Zhang Meng were also seated in a circle, the whole family joyfully awaited the start of "The Voice."
"Xiaobu, are the contestants in the second episode the same as the first one? Are they all like Wu Mei? There can’t be many of that type of contestant!"
Lu’s father inquired.
"I don’t know, I wasn’t involved," Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "Why don’t you ask Liang Lan?"
Liang Lan smiled without saying a word.
Lu’s father thought for a moment: "Forget it then, spoilers aren’t fun. Let’s just wait and see. Oh right, don’t just sit there, eat up."
...
This scene was unfolding all over the country.
In some household.
"Honey, get me a cold beer!"
"You’re drinking again?"
"’The Voice’ is starting, I’ve been looking forward to it for a week!"
...
On some street.
"Brother Sun, you heading back this early? Play a few more rounds, come on."
"No more for me, you guys play. I’m going back to watch ’The Voice.’"
"Wow, you’re over forty and still watching talent shows?"
"You don’t get it, ’The Voice’ is different, it’s really good!"
...
At some barbecue skewer joint.
"Waiter."
"Here."
"Turn the TV to ’The Voice,’ please."
"Right away, sir."
"Also, give us fifty skewers of tendon and five bottles of beer, cold ones!"
"Coming right up."
Countless viewers were already sitting in front of their televisions, watching Shimen TV Station without blinking.
Everyone wanted to know what stunning contestants would appear on the second episode of "The Voice."
Whether or not it could continue the legend of the first episode.
Of course, they were also curious to see if the viewership ratings for the second episode could keep the legend going.
...
After the last commercial break.
The time reached half past eight.
The second episode of "The Voice" officially began!
Familiar stage, familiar opening music.
And then...
It officially started!
"Pfft!"
All the viewers sitting in front of the TV were stunned.
"Damn, Xiaobu, do you have to be so slick?!"
"Yeah, the last episode had an opening song and a coach introduction! This time, nothing, it just started?!"
"I was just going to go buy a pack of smokes, and now it’s started already?!"
...
The viewers went crazy.
It was fine that the last advertisement break was brief, but this time it was even shorter!
Xiaobu, do you have to be so considerate of us?!
