Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Lu Xiaobu was here advocating for artisans when suddenly the outside world turned upside down.
Who knows which parent went online and vented, saying something about how big Lu Xiaobu’s shop bullies its customers, and that it was all part of his intentional scheme.
As a result, this simple comment exploded like a barrel of gunpowder!
"Lu Xiaobu is so outrageous! At first, he didn’t make things clear, we went to see him, and he kicked us out, then in a blink of an eye, he made six million!"
"Yeah! So much educational resources wasted on those worthless types, if my son went there, he’d be a grand master in two years!"
"What are you saying?! What do you mean worthless types?! Aren’t they children too?!"
"What the hell does it concern you?! I can say whatever I want?! That’s how I see them, a bunch of worthless types!"
"Stop fighting! Can arguing solve anything?! The key issue now is how to get into the school!"
"I think it’s wrong, I currently have no plans to let my child study there, even if he could go, I wouldn’t let him!"
"What do you mean?!"
"Think about it! It’s Lu Xiaobu’s school that has the master, but so what?! The master’s business is the master’s! This kind of job where only one in a thousand succeeds, why bother?!"
"That’s also true! I’d rather have my son take up piano or something, even if he doesn’t become a master, he could still get a decent job!"
"That makes quite some sense when you put it that way!"
"Also, have you guys noticed something very strange about this whole thing?"
"What is it?!"
"Think about it! When we went there before, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t let the so-called master come out, and we got kicked out, then the Hope Primary School students went in, and the so-called master showed up?!"
"What are you implying?"
"I think it’s very likely this was a trap, didn’t someone bring up before that Lu Xiaobu was suspected of embezzlement? Think about it! If that assumption is true, everything makes sense! Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t dare let us attend the school because he was afraid we’d expose him!"
"You kind of make sense there!"
"What do you mean ’kind of make sense’? I feel that’s exactly it! Even this exhibition could have been orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it! The exhibition was held by Zhan Longyan’s side, but in the end, Lu Xiaobu benefited from it, how can that be explained?!"
"That’s right! Could it be that Zhan Longyan and Lu Xiaobu were in collusion? On purpose?! After all, six million is an astronomical figure for us, but it’s just pocket change for them!"
"That sounds logical!"
"..."
The online comments grew increasingly overboard, with conspiracy theorists—who couldn’t reach the grapes and thus deemed them sour—vehemently speculating about Lu Xiaobu’s intentions.
It seems that only in this way, they could compensate for the regret of not having the chance to get hold of that six million!
It would soothe their so-called ’wounded’ hearts!
This matter wasn’t huge, but it wasn’t trivial either, it did manage to cause a stir in public opinion online for a while.
However.
Two days later, this wave of public opinion abruptly stopped, and those ’conspirators’ were thoroughly slapped in the face.
Because.
"America’s XL Company Forms Partnership with Lu Group"
"XL Company to Engage in Deep Cooperation with Lu Group"
"XL Company’s New Generation Bamboo Craft Backpack Causes Stir in Western Countries"
"Western Countries Show Great Enthusiasm for Bamboo Craft Backpacks"
"Bamboo Art Culture Successfully Exported to Western Countries"
These headlines rapidly went viral in the Heavenly Dynasty’s social circles.
Accompanying these news articles were photos of the new backpacks.
These backpacks were different from the previous ones, they each incorporated elements of bamboo craftsmanship.
"Oh my God! This backpack is so beautiful!"
"Honey! I want to buy one!"
"Oh my God! This means our Heavenly Dynasty’s bamboo art has really made it out there!"
"Doesn’t that mean that from now on, bamboo artistry will be like piano or violin, never out of work!?"
"Could this be a fake?"
"No! Absolutely not, my friend from America sent me a message, saying it’s all true! Just the other day, the bamboo sedan chairs sold by Lu Xiaobu caused a sensation in America, and XL Company rolled out their new generation bamboo craft backpacks, highly praised indeed!"
"But, I don’t really find this backpack that beautiful!"
"Oh, come on! Just tell me which backpack looks good! The old pure leather backpacks, I think they look like crap, didn’t find them appealing, but what about that?! If your girlfriend wants it, wouldn’t you buy it for her?!"
"There’s something else, have you guys noticed?!"
"What?!"
"All the backpacks have Lu Xiaobu’s certification trademark on them!"
"Damn! It’s really true! Lu Xiaobu’s certified trademark has gone international?!"
"..."
With the emergence of this news, everyone’s attention was diverted to these next-generation backpacks, each priced tens of thousands and even up to a hundred thousand!
Suddenly, everyone displayed tremendous enthusiasm, trying every means to purchase them from America.
Some might not understand, it’s just a bag, right?
Is it necessary?
The answer is, it is!
The obsession many women have with bags is too deep to overstate!
Even many bags that guys find less appealing than tote bags became coveted items just because of a brand, making women willing to forgo food and drink just to buy one.
Not to mention now these bamboo art bags not only showcase Heavenly Dynasty culture but also its aesthetic!
It’s like a direct hit to these women’s hearts, making them scream and feel like they must get one no matter what!
At the same time.
Those who had previously called all of Lu Xiaobu’s actions hype or conspiracies fell silent!
And those parents who had been sour grapes went crazy.
They all regretted it!
The school Lu Xiaobu ran wasn’t just any school, it was a gold mine!
"We must find a way to get into the school!"
"Yes! Does anyone know someone who could help?"
"I’m willing to pay, whoever helps me get into the school, I’ll pay them!"
"Damn it, initially it seemed only master craftsmen could make money, but now, Lu Xiaobu has turned the school into a luxury product manufacturing base!"
"It doesn’t matter whether it produces or not! In simple words, this is a business that will definitely make money for the next ten or even twenty years! So, at all costs, we must get into the school!"
"That’s right! Absolutely must get in!"
"My son is really skilled with his hands, Young Master Bu, please consider!"
"My son has been the top in crafts classes since he was young! Really! You can check!"
