CHAPTER 973: CHAPTER 971: TIME TO MAKE A MOVE

Netizens were puzzled by Lu Xiaobu’s story.

"This story is quite amusing! A bunch of dumb PhDs complicating simple questions!"

"Yeah! But what does this story prove?! We’re talking about your regional protection acts, Lu Xiaobu!"

"Don’t change the subject! Talk about you! Lu Xiaobu, stop trying to smooth things over!"

"Exactly! Exactly! Lu Xiaobu, you can’t fool us!"

"..."

The experts and scholars criticized Lu Xiaobu even more, calling him misleading and urging everyone to keep pressuring him.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t delay much, calmly replying, "Yeah! Some fools haven’t been in the rain! But some fools also ignore the regional protection of those universities! Hmph! Fools!"

"You accuse me of regional protection? Why don’t you study the regional protection of those universities?!"

"Look at how many local students those prestigious universities enroll each year compared to those from other regions!"

"And yet there’s no issue with regional protection!"

"Social unrest?! Where’s the unrest?! Mind your own business and take it easy!"

With those words!

Instantly!

Everyone was dumbstruck!

It felt like Lu Xiaobu slapped them in the face!

Stinging pain!

They were just insulting those dumb PhDs!

But suddenly, they became the dumb PhDs themselves!

"Lu Xiaobu! You bastard! Who are you insulting?!"

"That’s too harsh! Who are you calling a fool!"

"Damn it, Lu Xiaobu! You’re so insulting!"

"You talk about your own issues, then secretly insult us!"

"You’ve never seen rain before!"

"We thought you were explaining, but you’re actually insulting us!"

"..."

Netizens were furious!

Lu Xiaobu played them, making them insult themselves, indeed!

But though they spoke and insulted, Lu Xiaobu’s approach woke them up!

Yeah, it’s just regional protection! Is it really that big of a deal!

Which city’s university doesn’t have regional protection?!

Of course, they’d prioritize their local students first!

So just because Lu Xiaobu caused a stir, people had to be so aggressive?!

Crazy!

"Damn! Right! Bullshit regional protection! Hasn’t this been around forever!"

"Damn! I followed you all, cursed for a bit, and in the end! I’m really a fool! Damn! Social impact, impact my ass!"

"Seriously, a bunch of ’experts and beasts’! Why don’t you study when the world will end! I’ve been waiting for ages!"

"Disperse, disperse, there’s nothing worth seeing!"

"Go do what you’re supposed to, don’t linger!"

"..."

Seeing how the public storm came fast and went fast, business people were dumbfounded.

"Damn! No way! It’s just over like that?!"

"What the hell?! Are these people crazy?!"

"Exactly! Lu Xiaobu told a silly story and insulted them, and they just let it go?!"

"They needed a good scolding! When we got scolded, you didn’t let us off that easily! Every time we faced such harsh criticism, couldn’t even go outside!"

"What’s going on?! I seriously don’t get it! Need to check myself into an asylum!"

"Damn, I finally understand how those researchers go crazy!"

"..."

Business people couldn’t understand how the usually harsh netizens let Lu Xiaobu off so easily?!

After all, netizens’ harshness isn’t just talk—in their eyes, a successful person must be humble, have a harmonious family, be friendly, etc., etc.!

Simply put, if they wish to criticize you, they can find any point, unless you’re a Saint, no one can withstand it!

Yet, not only did Lu Xiaobu endure it, he directly insulted everyone, and nothing happened!

Who can understand this?!

To get the answer, of course, you must ask the person who knows Lu Xiaobu best!

And who is that?!

Of course, it’s Lin Feng.

Coincidentally, Housekeeper Jia was also confusedly asking Lin Feng, "Young Master? Why are the netizens so kind this time?!"

"It’s the subconscious impression Lu Xiaobu has left on them over time at play!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Let me ask you, what impression does Lu Xiaobu leave on netizens?"

"Hmm..." Housekeeper Jia thought, "He insults people fiercely! But he’s clear about rights and wrongs! Dead enemy with Japan and Korea! Often does good deeds, isn’t afraid of anyone!"

"That’s right!"

Lin Feng snapped his fingers, picked up a nearby jug of wine, took a large drink, wiped his mouth, and said:

"Everyone knows Lu Xiaobu is particularly clear about rights and wrongs! Plus, there have been several times when netizens actively protected Lu Xiaobu! It shows how highly they value him!"

"Because of this, this matter only erupted now, due to everyone not wanting to scold Lu Xiaobu, only coming out to complain when truly frustrated!"

"Huh? Really?" Housekeeper Jia was baffled, somewhat disbelieving.

"Look closely, before those so-called ’experts and beasts’ appeared, netizens were mostly complaining, but how many demanded Lu Xiaobu apologize?! Or insulted him wantonly?! Hardly any, right!" Lin Feng gestured for Housekeeper Jia to check.

Housekeeper Jia skeptically checked, exclaimed, "Hardly any!? My goodness! Mostly complaints, but none very excessive! Even requests are rare!"

"See! That’s Lu Xiaobu’s status among netizens!" Lin Feng laughed, "Now talking about his insults! When does Lu Xiaobu not insult people?"

"Hmm... hardly ever!" Housekeeper Jia chuckled bitterly, Young Master Bu really does insult people constantly.

"That’s right, so netizens are already used to his insults—to them, Lu Xiaobu’s insults are akin to saying hello! If someone says hello to you, would you get angry?" Lin Feng drank again.

Housekeeper Jia nodded frequently, showing agreement, after thinking it through with Young Master’s explanation.

"Plus, he often does good deeds! This builds trust among netizens!" Lin Feng asked, "Do you remember Lu Xiaobu’s last sentence on Weibo?"

"It was ’roll roll roll, take it slow!’" Housekeeper Jia recalled.

"Exactly! Perhaps people didn’t take this statement seriously, but it gave them a subconscious sense that Lu Xiaobu would take his time! That’s enough!"

Lin Feng shrugged and then smiled mysteriously, "It’s no surprise, Lu Xiaobu will take action soon!"

"Action? Against who?!" Housekeeper Jia was surprised.

"You’ll find out soon!" Lin Feng teased again!
