Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 163 - 138. Don’t worry

Chapter 163: 138. Don’t worry

Showing off also has its hierarchy.

Blowing your own trumpet versus others secretly singing your praises can result in vastly different effects for the audience.

He could have opted not to show off, but if you came questioning, well, sorry about that.

When it comes to showing off, Mr. Lu was absolutely legendary compared to these college students.

The students present were all too familiar with Mou Keyan’s iconic voice.

In this era, AI technology was still in its infancy and voices were hard to fake.

Once the voice message played, the evidence was irrefutable.

Even the slowest could understand the exact relationship between Fairy Miao and Lu Jincheng.

All the doubts that had just been raised about Lu Jincheng immediately collapsed.

Who was working for whom, after all?

Fairy Miao was still waiting for Mr. Lu to pay her salary!

"Lao Lu, what’s... what’s this all about?"

Liu Zhe looked at Lu Jincheng with incredulity, as if he’d never known this old classmate.

The dream of countless young men, Douyu’s top-level broadcaster, the unshakeable king of the dance section.

A celebrity in his heart, a top goddess of financial freedom.

Was actually asking Lu Jincheng about salary?

And did she have to ask in such a voice?

This was beyond Liu Zhe’s imagination.

"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped, and the voice message went on speaker."

Lu Jincheng scratched his head innocently, his lips curving slightly into a smile.

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips, quietly picked up the greens in front of her, and ate in small bites without exposing him.

As if anyone would believe it was just a slip of the hand, an accident.

He did it on purpose!

Perhaps he even scripted this epic face-slap with the seniors.

Such a sly guy!

"Lu Jincheng, you’ve really made it big! Should we start calling you Boss Lu now?"

Pan Xuan, who had been vigorously shipping a couple at the side, also appeared quite astonished, her curious eyes fixated on Lu Jincheng as her voice rose.

She had a high EQ, so it wasn’t hard to tell from Lu Jincheng’s disdainful response and his breezy demeanor to the earlier doubts that...

This voice message was probably real!

But Lu Jincheng’s approach was sophisticated; he didn’t prove it himself.

Instead, he chose to play it out loud deliberately, shifting the embarrassment to Wu Zizhi.

Since he really was Fairy Miao’s boss, the earnings were unimaginable...

How much from streaming?

How much from endorsements?

How much from promotions?

Even Pan Xuan herself had bought many products in the night study room, not to mention the income in Lu Jincheng’s hands alone, which was already substantial.

He had truly taken off!

Now, as Pan Xuan sized up Lu Jincheng, she slightly altered her opinion of him.

Initially, she thought this high school classmate had transformed immensely since graduation, barely matching Zhong Ruixi.

Now, she increasingly found that the two were simply made for each other!

"I’m in."

Compared to the other two classmates’ interrogatives and curiosity, Tan Huilin smiled and popped out three words, shaking her glass toward Lu Jincheng.

But her "I’m in" was the fourth tone, not the "cheers" sort.

"Ah? In for what?"

Liu Zhe didn’t understand her intent.

"I mean, that thing Lu Jincheng just mentioned, I’m in for it."

Tan Huilin then downed her drink in one swift motion, clean and neat.

From the moment she heard the voice message, she had made up her mind.

Being able to promote Mou Keyan into such a huge influencer had already proven the exceptional capability of Lu Jincheng’s studio.

Moreover, for her, the time and effort spent were entirely within acceptable bounds, and the reward was lucrative.

Ivory Tower is a stepping-stone into society, although it’s a bit early in freshman year; why not give it a try?

"Great, great, welcome aboard, we’ll talk in detail later."

Lu Jincheng smiled and nodded at Tan Huilin.

He thought he’d have to pitch a bit more, but someone had joined so quickly!

"If Linlin thinks it’s a good idea, then I’ll give it a try too!"

Liu Zhe turned to Lu Jincheng, saying excitedly.

bucks was definitely a figure worth setting aside other matters for him.

Besides, even a top student from a prestigious university had let go of their pride, so what was he hesitating for?

"Good buddy, good buddy, it’s you after all, Jin Cheng."

Lu Jincheng clinked glasses with Liu Zhe and gave him a wink, "Your school definitely has some good prospects."

"Eh... If everyone’s saying that, I might as well help out too."

After the two classmates voiced their opinions, Pan Xuan also responded with a smile,

"But I only helped to promote because of Rui Rui, let’s forget about the money."

Pan Xuan, who came from a wealthy family, had been spoiled since childhood, and the mere 1000 yuan she was offered didn’t mean much to her.

"That won’t work, helping is helping, but we need to keep things clear."

Lu Jincheng politely gestured with his hand.

"Right, Xuan Xuan, you can’t do that, think about it properly."

Zhong Ruixi chimed in cheerfully, the warm lighting of the private room slanting across her face, making her look delicate and refined.

She gently nodded her chin towards Liu Zhe, with a nearly imperceptible extent.

But Pan Xuan still caught her hint and slapped her forehead, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

She realized she had thought too superficially.

It was best to follow the rules when everyone was working on the promotion together.

You might be generous, high-minded, and believe good relationships don’t need money.

But what about others?

They are good brothers too!

Her actions had unwittingly put pressure on everyone else.

"Thanks, I’ll have Rui Rui treat you to a meal sometime, and I’ll reimburse it."

With a few words, most of the classmates present were convinced, and Golden Stone Media’s expansion smoothly made new progress.

Mr. Lu maintained a cheerful expression the entire time, feeling quite pleased.

Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jiangcheng Music College, Jiangcheng Sports College...

They were all distinctive schools with a high chance of discovering talent.

The dinner was absolutely worth it!

What a fruitful gathering.

Lu Jincheng raised his glass again, exchanged pleasantries, and toasted everyone present.

But being busy wasn’t scary, being left out was embarrassing.

When everyone had agreed to help, one person’s continued silence became particularly striking.

"Wu Zizhi, it’s just you left, what do you say?"

"..."

Wu Zizhi’s chubby face turned as red as a monkey’s butt, unable to utter a word for a long time, his small eyes darting around, feeling utterly out of place.

He had never experienced such an awkward moment in his life.

Shit!

If Lu Jincheng openly showing off his affection earlier was like throwing cold water in his face, a minor test...

Then the fact that Lu Jincheng was actually the big Boss controlling Mou Keyan’s tiny treasure trove was enough to break him.

He wasn’t just talking big?

Lu Jincheng was actually rich?

Motherfucker!

How did he do it?

Maybe Mou Keyan would even perform those dances in person, which she does over the phone, calling him "Mr. Lu."

Why do I only get to watch on screen?

Why?

Just thinking about it made Wu Zizhi’s eyes nearly bleed with rage.

Lu Jincheng really deserved to die!

Wu Zizhi also remembered how he had been loudly skeptical about Lu Jincheng upon entering the room.

At that time, his voice was loud, his laughter loud, the phrase "talking big" pronounced perfectly clear.

All these seemed to turn into boomerangs, coupled with Fairy Miao’s voice, and harshly slapped back onto his own face.

It was already freaking embarrassing enough, and him staying quiet, playing ostrich, would have been fine.

But then everyone joined Lu Jincheng’s promotional team, leaving only him silent, and people even called his name!

Wu Zizhi truly wanted to dig his toes into the ground.

"I’d rather not participate, you guys take it easy too, don’t be too eager to scout talents, you might end up bankrupting Mr. Lu."

It took him more than ten seconds to find these words to descend the stage gracefully.

"Going bankrupt is nothing to worry about, Rui Rui has said she’d support me, so rest assured."

Lu Jincheng promptly added, casually wrapping an arm around Zhong Ruixi’s shoulder, beaming and tilting his head to look into her eyes.

"Mmhmm."

Zhong Ruixi blinked, her soft voice delivering Wu Zizhi the final blow.

"Rest assured."
