Chapter 635: Chapter 633: The Prodigal Son Returns [Fifth Update]

With the issue gaining attention, a continuous stream of voices could be heard online.

"Damn! Who knew Lu Xiaobu was so impressive! To think he got kicked off?!"

"Yeah! Such a kind-hearted person with social responsibility, just gets excluded? Are the folks at the Rich List blind?!"

"How are they gonna wrap this one up! If it weren’t for Lu Xiaobu uncovering that spicy strip incident last time, that unscrupulous businessman would probably still be on the Rich List! They neglect the ones who need addressing and unnecessarily interfere with the wrong person!"

"Exactly! And what’s this about Lu Xiaobu being linked to Zhang Benhu? So what if there is a connection? Zhang Benhu is Zhang Dabiao himself! The guy’s got TV drama productions; what’s wrong with having some contact?!"

"Blind, all of them! What Underworld Dragons, clearly he’s a signed artist, and those are just extras! Yet you treat them like they’re part of the Underworld!"

"I think I know what’s going on!"

"What’s that?"

"I heard that during the filming of ’Bright Sword,’ Lu Xiaobu insisted everyone stay in character at all times, even off the set! Think about it! If these extras are living in that extreme state of killing enemies daily, it’d be normal to be misunderstood in real life!"

"Sounds plausible! If it’s just a misunderstanding, then just clear it up! I’ve heard those extras are doing good deeds daily! And it’s all led by Zhang Benhu!"

"Exactly, and besides, Lu Xiaobu has never spoken a word, only showing complete cooperation! Doesn’t that say something?"

"Then let Lu Xiaobu rejoin the Rich List already! Such a person is a conscience-driven businessman! And only products from such a person can reassure us!"

"Yes, we’re looking forward to Lu Xiaobu’s comeback!"

"Comeback!"

"Comeback!"

"Comeback!"

"..."

Netizens were calling out en masse, with a sense of agreement!

...

Rich List officials.

The president of the Rich List Association, pinching his brow, said to the people below: "What do you think? Lu Xiaobu got singled out for praise again! Plus, it’s a huge deal online too!"

The people below gave wry smiles.

"This..."

"Is Lu Xiaobu’s ability too godlike or what? He even got the military’s appreciation?"

"Right! How many halos does Lu Xiaobu have on him?!"

"Could Lu Xiaobu really be synonymous with miracles?!"

"Madre de Dios! I’m impressed, truly impressed!"

"Now the whole internet wants him back!"

"..."

The president banged on the table: "Whether he’s godlike or not isn’t our problem to consider! We need to decide whether or not to let Lu Xiaobu return to the Rich List."

Hearing the president’s words, everyone fell silent!

It was a difficult decision.

Someone finally spoke: "Have we cleared up the situation with Zhang Benhu?"

The president rolled his eyes: "What’s there to investigate! Zhang Benhu is now a contracted artist! ’Bright Sword’ just got highlighted for praise, and Zhang Benhu has tens of millions of fans. How could you even investigate? You tell me!"

The person got shut down and had nothing more to say!

Indeed, whether true or false, there was no need for investigation anymore!

"What about the Lin Family? If we restore Lu Xiaobu’s ranking, I’m afraid we’ll offend the Lin Family!"

Another person asked.

"Oh, then you offer a solution." The president replied, nonchalantly challenging the query.

The person fell silent.

As if they had any solution!

"Fine, nobody’s talking, huh! Easy then, I support reinstating Lu Xiaobu to the Rich List! Those who agree, raise your hand; those who don’t, don’t just point out problems, bring up solutions!" The president was tired of this back-and-forth with these people!

They all just know to identify problems but don’t know how to come up with solutions!

And all the problems should be dumped on him?

He is not the scapegoat!

Hearing the president’s words, these people remained silent, and in the end, all raised their hands.

A solution?!

If they had any, they wouldn’t have stayed silent!

So, might as well let it be, go with the flow, and face the problems together!

"All right, unanimously approved! Let’s check Lu Xiaobu’s assets again and then get him back on the Rich List!"

The president gavelled the meeting to a close!

...

This day.

Lu Xiaobu got out of bed lazily.

"Young Master, wash up and come have breakfast."

Liang Lan was waiting at the door.

"I won’t wash, too lazy to bother."

Lu Xiaobu said, yawning.

"Young Master, let’s go!"

Liang Lan pulled the languid Lu Xiaobu towards the washroom.

In the washroom, Su Luoxue had already adjusted the water temperature, squeezed out the toothpaste, everything was ready.

"So annoying."

Lu Xiaobu sighed, helplessly picked up the toothbrush, and started brushing his teeth.

At the same time, Su Luoxue had gone to prepare the clothes he would wear today.

And Liang Lan was combing Lu Xiaobu’s hair.

"Hehe!"

Lu Xiaobu suddenly chuckled and leaned back.

Immediately, he felt a softness against his back.

"Young Master!"

Liang Lan chided softly.

"Hehe!"

Lu Xiaobu smiled smugly and continued brushing his teeth.

After washing up, he went downstairs, ready to eat.

"Xiaobu, what are your plans for today?"

Lu’s father asked with a cheery smile.

"I don’t know, I’ll play it by ear!" Lu Xiaobu thought for a while and said, "Oh, right, wait for the notice from the Rich List later; I’m planning to confront some people!"

"Pfft!" Lu Wenhao laughed: "How do you know for sure it will come out today?"

"If not today, then tomorrow, what does it matter." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said, "By the way, big bro, how’s business lately?"

"It’s been somewhat affected. Our market shares have been taken over by others to some extent." Lu Hongbin nodded in agreement.

Xiaobu’s loss of his title on the Rich List had led many people to see it as an opportunity and start infringing on the Lu Family’s businesses.

Even many distributors chose to defect.

"Right, remember these people, once the list is out, put them all on the blacklist," Lu Xiaobu said.

A businessman chases profits, which he could understand.

But his revenge would also arrive as promised.

Just because I understand you doesn’t mean I won’t take revenge. Sorry, I’m no saint!

It’s like someone can live only if they don’t kill you, you can understand that, but does it mean you should just wait patiently to be killed?!

Nonsense!

"By the way, Sister Lan, how’s everything with the school?"

Lu Xiaobu continued to ask.

He cared quite a bit about the school situation.

While they were talking, the official statement from the Rich List came out.

"Lu Xiaobu returns to the Rich List and, upon verification, ranks 85th on the Second Level Rich List!"

As soon as the announcement was made...

Instantly, it was like a gigantic slap, fiercely smacking the faces of those who had targeted Lu Xiaobu before!

What the hell?! He’s really back?!

And straight to the eighty-fifth spot?!

At that moment, the business world was shaken!

The infamous prodigal son... had returned!!
