Chapter 341: Chapter 340 Challenging Heaven, Earth, and the Air [5th Update, 3rd Additional Update for Alliance Hierarch Watching the Typhoon from the Windowsill]
Su Feng was truly dumbfounded by that slap!
Before, he was brought up as if to be hit, but in reality, he wasn’t.
But now, he really was.
On a live broadcast, in front of the whole nation, Lu Xiaobu actually slapped him?!
The entire audience went wild!
You should know that journalists are the last people public figures want to provoke.
After all, once their pens start moving, it’s terrifying!
"Slapping a journalist? Has Lu Xiaobu lost his mind?"
"He actually dared to slap a journalist? And during a live broadcast?!"
"Isn’t he afraid of antagonizing the entire journalist community?!"
"Indeed, if the journalists start smearing his name, this is going to be big trouble!"
"He’s truly mad, doing things that hurt others without benefitting himself!"
"Okay, now I finally understand what ’do whatever you like’ really means!"
"But to tell you the truth, I’m actually quite envious of Lu Xiaobu, living life according to his own wishes!"
"Yeah, every day we are bound by too many rules! Everyone is wearing a mask!"
"Enough, enough, go wash up and sleep! Freedom comes with the prerequisite of having money!"
"..."
On Site!
"By what right do you hit me?! Fuck you..."
Su Feng suddenly leaped up, roaring.
Lu Xiaobu curled the corners of his mouth into a cold smirk and pointed at the camera: "As a public figure, why are you swearing? Aren’t you afraid of setting a bad example for kids?"
"I!"
Su Feng was slapped again, not physically, but mentally!
Grinding his teeth, he said: "That’s because you hit me!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu sneered: "I hit you, so you can swear at people? According to your logic, shouldn’t you be showing tolerance and stepping back?"
"You, someone who stands on the so-called moral high ground every day, chastising others, on what basis do you chastise people?"
"As a journalist, your job is to report the truth, not to make baseless assumptions!"
"I don’t recognize Wen Family Hall, is that provocation?"
"I apologize to Wen Family Hall, is that showing weakness?"
"I swear at you, am I setting a bad example?"
"You disrespect me, why should I respect you?! Strip away all the honors, we’re all humans! Why should I defer to you!? Just because you’re weak? If you were truly weak, you wouldn’t dare spout off at me like this!"
Lu Xiaobu’s voice was loud, his tone sharp.
Su Feng’s face went from green to white, furious yet unable to speak a word!
He was really scared now!
This Lu Xiaobu was too reckless, daring to hit him, a journalist, even during a live broadcast, what else wouldn’t he dare to do?!
"Not talking anymore?" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "If you dare not speak, then get lost!"
Su Feng, covering his face, flush with anger but with nothing to say,
could only walk away like a dog that has lost its home, utterly dejected.
The whole nation watched this scene.
All secretly swallowed their saliva.
"Lu Xiaobu is too fierce, even daring to scold a journalist."
"It’s not about being fierce or not, can you out-talk a journalist?"
"Yeah, that’s skill!"
"Awesome! Nothing more to say, just awesome! Today’s rant felt so satisfying!"
"Who are you? The guy scolds a journalist, what’s it to you?"
"Sorry, I’m a police officer, off duty at the moment. What I say does not represent the official stance, just my personal opinion! I’ve encountered some unscrupulous journalists before. Normally, we could solve the case before the criminals, but some of them, in pursuit of a big story, stealthily put the report out, and well... that time... sigh!"
"I remember that year during the earthquake, some unscrupulous journalists, for the sake of an interview, insisted that rescue workers stop pulling an elderly person from the wreckage just so they could get a 5-minute shot, resulting in the person’s death."
"And that time, the family members of a child were dead, and yet those unscrupulous journalists kept asking how sad they felt, what their thoughts were after being rescued? I freaking want to ask, if it was your family that died, and I asked you like this, how would you feel!?"
"Some unscrupulous media, in order to make headlines, even distort the truth, stitching together news! Young Master Bu is right, I’ll go interview you and ask how many hands have touched your wife, would you freaking answer me willingly?!"
"We’re not targeting journalists, but just like what Young Master Bu says, please stick to your conscience! Understand your own criticism! Not to fabricate at will!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobu looked at Su Feng leaving, snorted with laughter, "Anyone else want to interview me? If not, I’m out of here."
The reporters on-site were silent as cicadas in winter; who would dare to interview him now!
One wrong question might lead to a volley of curses!
For a moment, the scene turned awkwardly silent!
Off to the side, Wen Family Hall could only offer wry smiles, yet they couldn’t help but feel envious.
In today’s world, the only person who dares to talk back to the reporters like this, and to leave them speechless, might just be Lu Xiaobu!
To be honest, it’s not that they can’t talk back, they can if they were asked to.
What they lack is the courage to openly share their own thoughts and not fear the adverse effects it might cause!
Take this for example: who dares to scold reporters on live broadcast?
Only Lu Xiaobu dares!
Seeing that nobody was talking, the event organizers couldn’t stand it any longer.
This won’t do!
We can’t have an awkward silence!
So, the organizers, mustering up their courage, said, "Well, Young Master Bu, since you’ve come, why not share a few words with everyone? Tell us about your experiences, that’s not too much to ask, right?"
To make sure he wouldn’t get scolded, they even started a discussion thread online.
They let netizens vote.
This way, they thought he wouldn’t end up getting scolded!
Indeed, this thread immediately got everyone’s support.
All unanimously in favor!
"That’s right, let Young Master Bu share some insights!"
"He’s pulled off so many incredible plans; he must have some secrets!"
"Yeah, we’re not asking for much, just teach us one percent, no, one-tenth of a percent is enough!"
"Young Master Bu, we seek your guidance!"
"Sitting and waiting! No, kneeling and waiting!"
"..."
The organizers quickly showed the comments to Lu Xiaobu, ingratiatingly asking, "Young Master Bu, look, this is what the vast majority of netizens think, please share a little bit! Just a bit!"
"What do you want me to talk about? My success stories?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, "If I say my key to success is squandering family wealth, would you believe me? No talking!"
He absolutely detested this so-called success teachings, nothing more than fooling people, totally useless!
Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, the organizers’ faces went through shades of red and white.
They offered a forced laugh, not daring to say another word!
Finally, they realized their idea had been a mistake.
Inviting Lu Xiaobu?
That’s doable.
But, are you sure that having him here is a good thing?
Wen Family Hall also let out another wry smile.
Lu Xiaobu really does scold anyone, from heaven to earth, even at the air!
Whoever he sees, he scolds!
However, while they were off the hook, the internet was ablaze.
Some radicals started cursing directly!
"What’s so great about you? Just because you’ve got some stinky money? You’re so rich, why not teach us how?"
"Exactly, what garbage! Ever heard of ’letting the wealthy lead the less fortunate?’"
"Got a little money and you’re acting all high and mighty? Looking down on people?!"
"Trash Lu Xiaobu! A selfish and self-centered jerk!"
"..."
Seeing these comments, the corners of Lu Xiaobu’s mouth curled up.
What’s the matter?
I can’t not talk?
You don’t believe the truth?
Fine!
I’ll talk, if you can handle it!
