Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Shanan Province!
Inside a privately customized villa.
A row of spicy strip producers admired the luxurious decor inside the room while quietly waiting for their boss to appear.
"Ah, the boss’s life is still so good!"
"Kidding, that’s the boss we’re talking about, a figure on the Second Level Rich List, who wouldn’t show him some respect!"
"Do you think the boss can handle Lu Xiaobu?!"
"Definitely! How old is Lu Xiaobu compared to how long our boss has been fighting in the business arena! He’s eaten more salt than Lu has eaten rice! Besides, Lu Xiaobu is just the top of the Third Level Rich List! And our boss? He’s a person on the Second Level Rich List!"
"Exactly, exactly, with the boss taking action, there’s definitely no problem!"
"Let’s wait for the boss’s arrangement!"
"..."
At this moment.
"I know all about it, you can all go back! I’ll think of a way!"
At this moment, a voice came through, interrupting the low murmurs of those present.
"Yes, boss."
The group exchanged glances, not surprised at all, they were used to it.
Ever since the boss joined the rich list, their meetings had become few and far between.
They also knew why; the rich list had strict assessments on creditworthiness and public trust.
If people on the rich list found out that their boss was the mogul behind these shady manufacturers, trouble would come knocking!
After everyone had left.
A middle-aged man finally emerged from the inner hall.
However, his expression was less than pleasant as he paced slowly in the large hall, pondering the reason why Lu Xiaobu, who normally didn’t interfere with his affairs, suddenly made a move against him!
His name was Qin Xunchang, ranked 96 on the Second Level Rich List, meaning his net worth was around fifteen billion!
The key point was that the majority of his wealth came from the group that had just left.
He used to have a small factory, then they formed an alliance, and he became the boss through some tactics.
He was then in charge of producing the raw materials and then handing them over to small factories for processing, perfectly sidestepping the rich list’s audit and successfully joining it.
It was a virtuous cycle from there on, the bigger he grew, the more protection he could offer, the more he earned, and the more he earned, the bigger his operations!
All the way to the Second Level Rich List!
Incredible, isn’t it?
But such is the truth!
This also led to the situation where, when there were issues with these spicy strip producers, they would definitely turn to him, their boss!
They were all tied to the same string, none could do without the others!
"Secretary, book me a plane ticket, I have to go to Shimen!"
Qin Xunchang tapped his head, preparing to talk things over with Lu Xiaobu.
"Yes."
A very languid woman, lacking any clothing, stepped out of the room, full of dissatisfaction.
Clearly, something indescribable had just happened!
...
Shimen.
The system was still busy with formula matters and hadn’t yet returned, so Lu Xiaobu had no choice but to make do with some Lao Ganma to satiate his cravings.
"Young Master, Qin Xunchang requests to see you. Will you meet him?"
Liang Lan asked softly
"Who?!"
Lu Xiaobu was a bit stunned.
"He’s ranked 96 on the Second Level Rich List!" Liang Lan explained, "He produces snacks, mainly bean and flour-based snacks!"
That’s all the information Liang Lan had managed to find.
As for the relationship between Qin Xunchang and the unsavory spicy strip factories, the people from the rich list didn’t find out, so of course, she couldn’t either.
"No need, what’s that got to do with me?"
Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively.
Meetings every single day, having to see whoever comes by, then he might as well not do anything else!
"He mentioned he can provide information about spicy strip producers."
Liang Lan heard Qin Xunchang’s bargaining chip while replying to him.
"Is that so? Then let’s meet."
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this news.
"Yes, Young Master."
Liang Lan went to make arrangements.
Soon.
Both parties met in the meeting room of the Lu Group.
"Young Master Lu, I’ve long admired your reputation!"
Qin Xunchang was very cordial.
"You said you have news about a spicy strip manufacturer?"
Lu Xiaobu got straight to the point.
"Of course, because the person you’re looking for is an acquaintance of mine."
Qin Xunchang said without batting an eyelid.
"Tell me the name of your so-called acquaintance, and you name your price."
Lu Xiaobu continued.
"I might not be a hero, but Young Master Lu, asking me to sell out a friend so directly is a bit much, isn’t it?" Qin Xunchang was dodging and weaving.
He had to pique Lu Xiaobu’s interest first and probe step by step!
But then!
"So there’s nothing to talk about? Show him out!"
Lu Xiaobu didn’t have the time to tiptoe around with Qin Xunchang!
"Huh?!"
Qin Xunchang was stunned.
To hell with it, Lu Xiaobu, you’re not playing by the rules!
Just like that, you’re not asking anymore?!
"Wait, wait, Young Master Lu, hold on!"
Qin Xunchang quickly tried to stop Lu Xiaobu.
He didn’t want to leave without accomplishing anything.
"What? You ready to sell out your friend?"
Lu Xiaobu sneered, "Quit pretending to be the boss, spit it out. That’s what you are here for today, right?"
At this time, Qin Xunchang, and even using the news about the spicy strip manufacturer to get him to agree to a meeting.
If you say it’s not for this reason, would anyone believe it?!
But Qin Xunchang is still freaking leading him in circles!
"Alright, Young Master Lu is straightforward, so I’ll cut to the chase." Qin Xunchang gritted his teeth with irritation, encountering such an unpredictable person, all his secret plans and tactics were mostly useless!
"I am actually here to mediate today, my acquaintance said, Young Master Lu, whatever you want, just say it. As long as it’s not too unreasonable, he can agree, so please be generous, Young Master Lu!"
Qin Xunchang said out loud.
He pushed everything he wanted to say onto his so-called acquaintance.
"What I want?! I want the bastard to eat shit!" Lu Xiaobu slammed the table hard: "Get the hell out!"
"Young Master Lu!?"
Qin Xunchang was dumbfounded by the swearing!
What’s this about?!
I circle around, you get mad, I accept that!
Now why are you still angry?!
And you start by telling me to eat shit?!
Did I offend you?!
"Don’t fucking call me, I’m not your daddy."
Lu Xiaobu turned and walked away.
A mediator?!
So that means you’re siding with that shit-eating bastard, doesn’t it? Then why the hell are we even talking!
"Lu Xiaobu!"
Qin Xunchang suddenly stood up: "I came over with good intentions to talk business, and this is how you treat me?!"
"Don’t get too cocky! I’m a man from the Second Level Rich List, if we really start a fight, you might not be able to handle it!"
First courtesy, then persuasion, since the nice approach didn’t work, let’s try the hard approach!
"Eat your fucking shit!" Lu Xiaobu took off his shoe and threw it over: "Zhang Meng, throw him out for me! And he’s fucking threatening me?!"
"Smack!"
Lu Xiaobu’s shoe hit Qin Xunchang directly in the face!
Instantly, a big footprint appeared!
As the shoe slowly slid off Qin Xunchang’s face, his expression was priceless to behold!
