CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 576: CONGRATULATIONS ON GOING OUT OF BUSINESS [2ND UPDATE]

Lu Xiaobu set off, heading to see Hope Primary School.

This news reached the Lin Family subsidiary almost immediately.

Upon hearing this, the rich tycoons who occupied more than half of the Second Level Rich List at the scene, showed mocking smiles one after another.

"So this is what Lu Xiaobu calls ’extend your hand and get it chopped off’?!"

"It turns out that his previous big talk was just that. When it really comes to crunch time, he chickens out!"

"Lu Xiaobu? More like Lu Laughingstock now!"

"Impressive, avoiding confrontation; out of sight, out of mind, acting like a turtle drawing in its head? Are these the consequences of Lu Xiaobu’s bluster?!"

"A joke! A truly colossal joke!"

"..."

One person insulting you is a squabble, ten people is bullying, a hundred is also bullying.

But what about ten thousand people?

That’s called ’justice’!

These tycoons, obviously all see themselves on the side of ’justice’!

Why not throw a stone at Lu Xiaobu when he’s down and then conveniently curry favor with the Lin Family? Why wouldn’t they?

Xia Jie and Zhan Longyan’s smiles were even more apparent!

"It seems, your bodyguard won’t be needed!" Xia Jie said to Zhan Longyan with a smug smile.

"Maybe! How can you be so sure this isn’t one of Lu Xiaobu’s Blinding Techniques, or an alibi?" Zhan Longyan immediately retorted.

"You’re just a dead duck refusing to admit defeat! Without Lu Xiaobu’s support, would Zhang Benhu dare even think about opposing the Lin Family? He wouldn’t have the guts even if he had ten times the courage!" Xia Jie sneered and shook his head.

"Then let’s wait and see!"

Zhan Longyan said.

However, he said that, but deep down he also felt that Lu Xiaobu had indeed chickened out!

Using the visit to Hope Primary School as a pretext to evade the situation here, to carve out a path for retreat.

Thinking of this, he sighed.

Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu, you’re also a big name in the business world, do you really think these petty tricks will work?!

If you hadn’t admitted defeat, you might have lasted a while longer, but now that you have, you won’t last three days before you’re dead with nowhere to bury your corpse!

However, he quickly dismissed this thought.

What’s important now is the grand opening of the Lin Family’s subsidiary company, and to ingratiate himself with the Lin Family!

...

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu arrived at the entrance of a Hope Primary School nearest to Shimen.

The person in charge expressed a warm welcome and high praise for Lu Xiaobu!

"Young Master Lu, please look, this is our Hope Primary School, we’ll be officially enrolling students soon!" The person in charge introduced enthusiastically.

This was his God of Wealth after all!

How could he not be eager to please!

"En."

Lu Xiaobu seemed somewhat uninterested and simply said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, send someone to inspect and see if it meets standards."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Liang Lan nodded, instructing the professional team she brought along to carry out the inspection.

Resultantly, the person in charge was sweating bullets: "Young Master Lu, don’t you trust me?"

"Yes, I don’t trust you."

Lu Xiaobu stated bluntly.

He wasn’t one to indulge these people; there always exist some idiots in this world who deserve to be scolded!

Don’t damn well think others should condone your brazen idiotic behavior!

The money he spent was for building Hope Primary School, for the students!

And yet, some people turned it into a means for profit, not only skimming from the top, but also gleefully calling you a fool behind your back!

Does he really think Lu Xiaobu doesn’t know?!

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, the person in charge’s face turned from pale to green with fear surging inside him!

Soon, the inspection results were out!

"Young Master, it’s substandard, shoddy construction!"

With her mind still on the matters involving the Lin Family, Liang Lan didn’t go into details and just definitively concluded the matter.

"You! This!"

The person in charge turned deathly pale!

"What ’you’?" Lu Xiaobu turned to Li Jin and said, "Take him to the police station!"

"What right do you have? Everyone does this! Why are you targeting me?"

The person in charge shouted hysterically.

"Whoever spoils you, go find them! I have no interest in spoiling you here!"

Lu Xiaobu chuckled coldly: "Also, who told you that just because everyone does it, it means you’re not wrong?! By your logic, since everyone is going to die, if you go kill someone now, would you consider it doing a good deed?"

The person in charge was dragged away, his face turning from green to white. Before leaving, he bit his teeth and hissed: "Lu Xiaobu, don’t be arrogant! Your good days are over, and in the end, you will only become a ghost under the Lin Family’s blade!"

"Then there’s no need for you to worry!"

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively.

Then, he said to Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, go make a plaque, invite the journalists over, and also bring over the excavator and such!"

"What should be written on the plaque?"

Liang Lan asked.

She instinctively felt that there was a big problem with this plaque!

"What to write? Write ’Congratulations on the Lin Family’s bankruptcy!’"

Lu Xiaobu said with a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "If we said we would send them a banner, then we must do so."

"Yes! Young Master!"

Liang Lan immediately rejoiced, Young Master Lu was indeed Young Master Lu!

"Luo Xue, take your team and leave now. Follow Young Master’s method to check every Hope Primary School!"

Liang Lan turned and instructed Su Luoxue: "Then, be ready to follow my orders!"

She had already figured out what the Young Master was planning to do!

"Yes!"

Su Luoxue’s heart was also very excited, she didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to leave!

...

Shimen, Lin Family’s branch office.

"The auspicious time has arrived, the Shimen Lin Family’s branch office is officially open!"

The host stood at the entrance, exclaiming with excitement.

Immediately, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out.

Hearing the host’s words, the rich patrons started their discussions.

"Hey, Lu Xiaobu really didn’t show up!"

"The turtle shrinks its head!"

"Hahaha, I wonder how Lu Xiaobu can be arrogant now!"

"..."

Xia Jie took a look at Zhan Longyan, raising an eyebrow: "What do you think? Lu Xiaobu still doesn’t dare to show his face, right?"

Zhan Longyan curled his lip: "So what? What does that prove?"

The ceremony continued.

Soon, it was time to present congratulatory gifts and speeches!

Well, or should it be said, it was time for the competitive flattery!

"Xia Jie presents a pair of Emperor Jade Lions, wishing the business prosperity!"

The host announced loudly.

People around immediately gasped in amazement.

"What a generous gesture!"

"Deserving of the top spot on the Second Level Rich List!"

"Truly impressive!"

"Emperor Jade! Look at that craftsmanship, definitely a master’s work!"

"..."

Hearing the praise around him, Xia Jie revealed a smug smile.

Meanwhile, at Lu Xiaobu’s end.

He watched the dense crowd of journalists below, a slight smile on his lips: "Smash it!"

With his command, twenty large machines charged towards the shoddy construction school!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Under the powerful force of the large machines, the school was quickly riddled with holes!

This scene was recorded by the journalists and sent out!

"Lu Xiaobu’s donated school, named ’Hope Primary School on Lin Family’s Bankruptcy’, suffers shoddy construction and is now being demolished"
