Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

The Lin Family.
Lin Feng.
"Housekeeper Jia, how’s it going?" Lin Feng smiled mischievously at Housekeeper Jia, "I told you, that Lu Xiaobu would definitely make a move!"
"I’m convinced! I truly am!" Housekeeper Jia shook his head with a wry smile, "Young Master Lu’s ability to affect the entire world while staying indoors is really impressive!"
"Of course! If he didn’t have such skills, how could he be my rival?" Lin Feng smiled smugly.
As the only current rival who can go toe-to-toe with Lu Xiaobu, praise for Lu Xiaobu is just like praise for him!
"Young Master Lin, I have another question!" Housekeeper Jia was intrigued.
"Go ahead." Lin Feng nodded.
"Young Master Lu is so smart and holds many near-monopoly industries, yet, why is his ranking only on the Second Level Rich List?"
Housekeeper Jia asked puzzledly, "If it were any other businessman, they would have topped the list long ago, right?"
"This is Lu Xiaobu’s way of handling things!"
Lin Feng stood up, picked up a cigar, and said leisurely, "Although Lu Xiaobu has many industries, most of them have very low profitability!"
"Whether it’s cola, Lao Ganma, or Absolute Shadow phones, they’re all industries with very low profits!"
"And many obvious ways to make money, like advertising, he never does!"
"This leads to the reason why, although he has many industries with a high degree of monopoly, his progress is slow!"
"After all, this guy is at heart still a spendthrift!"
Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Jia suddenly laughed, "Alright! I forgot Young Master Lu is a spendthrift!"
"But!" Lin Feng suddenly changed his tone, "This is also his smartness!"
"Huh? Not earning money, yet smart?!" Housekeeper Jia was stunned!
Aren’t businesses supposed to make money like crazy to be considered smart?
Why does Young Master Lin say Young Master Lu is smart for not making money?
"Let me ask you, if your subordinate holds too many business secrets, wouldn’t you be constantly wary of him leaving?" Lin Feng laughed.
"Certainly!" Housekeeper Jia nodded.
"That’s why, although Lu Xiaobu holds many secrets, the nation trusts him completely, never worrying that he’ll turn his back after making money here and go abroad!" Lin Feng continued.
"Isn’t that because Young Master Lu is always defending the dignity of our nation?!" Housekeeper Jia paused.
"That’s part of it, but everything can be faked, except not making money! Because he doesn’t make money, if he ever wanted to betray, his assets would vanish in an instant due to low profit though vast industry!" Lin Feng smiled.
"I get it! That’s why the official stance often supports Young Master Lu’s actions!" Housekeeper Jia understood!
"Smart!" Lin Feng snapped his fingers, "He has the blood of a patriotic youth flowing within him!"
Then he shook his head, "Alright, enough talk about him!"
Then his expression gradually turned cold, "I heard Japan is preparing to rebuild the Jingguo Shrine, right?!"
That little Japan is really bold and reckless!
"Yes!" Housekeeper Jia’s expression was also very cold, "For them to dare rebuild it, the audacity is just outrageous!"
Though Japan’s actions are quite secretive, he managed to uncover the news.
Japan is indeed planning to rebuild the Jingguo Shrine!
Ambitious and relentless!
"Alright, go to Shimen and personally inform Lu Xiaobu about this." Lin Feng nodded, "I’m not convenient to act directly! Let Lu Xiaobu handle this, as usual!"
"Yes, Young Master Lin!" Housekeeper Jia nodded.
...
Lu Family.
Lu Xiaobu was receiving guests.
It was none other than long-unseen Sun Wanqi.
"I was going to call you, but after checking the time, I decided to come back directly." Sun Wanqi said to Lu Xiaobu, sitting in the Lu Family’s living room.
Sun Wanqi still carries the air of a Queen of Heaven. Though travel-worn, she remains radiant!
"What’s up?" Lu Xiaobu was surprised.
"What’s up? It’s about your education fund! I was abroad recently, didn’t follow the news, but Chen Wen and Grandma Jia Yi notified me!" Sun Wanqi frowned a bit.
"And then? You want a piece of the action too?" Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.
Sun Wanqi showing up now really bewildered him!
"Piece of action?! Don’t you know what mistake you made?! You’re just taking care of Shimen while angering others! They’re all cursing you online, don’t you know?" Sun Wanqi raised her voice.
"Uh..." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, "Oh Queen of Heaven, can you stop being such a workaholic?! Can you catch up on the latest news?!"
He was aware of Sun Wanqi’s workaholic tendencies, but didn’t expect this!
Everything was resolved, yet she acted like things were stuck in the past century!
"Huh!? News?!" Sun Wanqi was puzzled and quickly checked her phone.
And then!
"What?! With just one Weibo post, you got the richest folks to donate!? And you found a scapegoat!? Finally, included this in the Rich List rules?!"
Sun Wanqi’s Queen of Heaven posture vanished, standing there with her mouth agape, staring at the phone and Lu Xiaobu!
How long has it been?!
It’s only been a week since Chen Wen and the others told her!
She thought a week wouldn’t resolve much, and Lu Xiaobu’s temper wouldn’t explain things clearly over the phone, so she rushed back!
But within just a week, Lu Xiaobu sorted it out?!
And not just any sorting out!
These matters, any one of them would take others at least three months!
Moreover, this isn’t just about any person, but the top First Level Rich List figures!
"Not bad!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged.
At this moment, Liang Lan whispered to Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master, Housekeeper Jia is here."
"Okay, I know." Lu Xiaobu nodded, telling Sun Wanqi, "Excuse me for a moment."
Soon, Housekeeper Jia personally informed Lu Xiaobu about Japan’s intention to rebuild the Jingguo Shrine.
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes immediately narrowed, "Those little devils have nerve! Think they can mess with me just because I’m back in the country?!"
He began strategizing in his mind.
Returning to the living room.
Sun Wanqi also realized, "Since you’re okay, I’m unnecessary; I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m headed to Japan for a concert."
"Wait!" Lu Xiaobu suddenly smirked, "Did you say you’re going to Japan?!"
