Chapter 29: Chapter 29 I’m Not Really Just a Vase【Please Add to Favorites, Please Recommend】

”Water army?” The Lu family members were left dumbfounded by Lu Xiaobu’s explanation: ”What’s a water army?”

Meanwhile, Liang Lan’s beautiful eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance, and she immediately spoke anxiously and respectfully on the phone: ”Young Master Bu, could you let me command this water army?”

”Liang Lan? You think it’s possible too?” Mr. Lu was taken aback and asked.

”It’s definitely possible, it’s an incredibly terrifying force. Young Master Bu is too amazing!” Liang Lan asserted decisively.

”Sister Lan, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but are you up for it?” Lu Xiaobu said somewhat embarrassedly.

”I...I can do it.”

Liang Lan felt like crying out of grievance—Young Master Bu, you are the only one who dares to say Tian Jilan isn’t up to it.

But she had to admit that in front of Young Master Bu, especially today, she really wasn’t up to it.

Her absolutely confident tactics had utterly kneeled before Young Master Bu today.

Initially, she planned to organize a unique ceremony to shift everyone’s focus to boiling cabbage in water.

However, Young Master Bu had already thrown a carnival.

Looking at that scene, even she was excited.

Later, not willing to be outdone, she found out about Yumian Chilong’s existence and wanted to leverage Yumian Chilong’s influence.

Then, Yumian Chilong had already been conquered by boiling cabbage in water.

The most ridiculous thing was that the person who conquered Yumian Chilong turned out to be the scum brought by Young Master Bu, oh my god!

And now, as she was deep in thought, trying to find the most appropriate way to help the Lu family out of this crisis of trust.

Young Master Bu’s water army team was established!

Young Master Bu, that’s not fair, I’m not a real vase!

”Uh...Xiaobu, Liang Lan can do it,” Lu Hongbin said with a wry smile.

”That’s right, that’s right.”

Mr. Lu also supported on the side. If they didn’t give Liang Lan some encouragement, this girl might really burst into tears.

Xiaobu, oh Xiaobu, if people outside knew that the so-called Tian Jilan was on the verge of tears in front of you, I wonder if they would strike us?

”Okay then! Sister Lan, I’ll leave it to you,” Lu Xiaobu decided.

”Thank you Young Master Bu, I will not let you down,” Liang Lan said gratefully, with tears brimming in her eyes.

Finally, finally, she had the chance to show her strengths.

Because she was embarrassed, she had already tidied up Young Master Bu’s room three times!

”Very good, Li Qiang, hand over the command to Liang Lan,” Lu Xiaobu slammed the table and made the decision.

”Understood! We will win this battle! Please, Young Master, give the orders!”

Liang Lan immediately stood straight, her fighting spirit high.

She must win, otherwise, she would really become just a vase.

Otherwise, her daily tasks would be limited to washing clothes and folding blankets—know that just now, to cover her embarrassment, she had even hand-washed Young Master Bu’s underwear!

Both sides opened the video connection and started a video conference.

”Very good, the first task for the water army is...” Lu Xiaobu was focused, fiddling with his cell phone.

Everyone on both sides of the video was excited. A water army led by Tian Jilan!

If they missed such a scene, they would regret it for life.

As soon as Xiaobu gave the order, the war would begin!

”Your first task is to like my Weibo post. I want to trend, wahaha!”

Lu Xiaobu showed everyone his prepared Weibo post—Lu Xiaobu is number one in the world!

”I’m done!”

Everyone collapsed, their heads full of black lines!

Young Master Bu, you don’t play like this, you assemble such a terrifying force, just to get likes for your Weibo?

Lu’s father, unable to help laughing and crying, picked himself up from the ground and pleaded, ”Xiaobu, how about we talk about this matter later? Don’t forget, that guy is still cursing you out.”

”Yeah, Xiaobu, just listen to my advice, stop fooling around at this time,” Lu Hongbin also said with a wry smile.

”No, no, that’s not it, Young Master Bu isn’t fooling around, this is actually sheer brilliance,” Liang Lan said with a look of admiration on her face.

”wtf?” Everyone was dumbfounded.

”Think about it. Although the paid trolls were hastily gathered under Yumian Chilong’s influence, most of them just did it for fun. But now having them like Young Master Bu’s Weibo, allowing them to truly earn money, that would make them follow orders strictly. This move is just too brilliant! I hadn’t even thought of that!” Liang Lan said with immense adoration.

Having heard Liang Lan’s explanation, everyone came to their senses and looked at Lu Xiaobu in shock — could it be that Xiaobu had always been this cunning? His action just now even earned Tian Jilan’s immense admiration?

”Why are you looking at me? I just wanted to trend for a bit, but if it’s going to be like that, then forget it!” Lu Xiaobu scratched his head and spread his hands in resignation.

”Uh...” There was a collective silence — alright then, their previous judgment must’ve been an illusion, this is still the same heartless, wasteful Xiaobu!

But regardless, since it was beneficial and could also make Young Master Bu happy, Liang Lan proceeded to carry out the task diligently.

Lu Wenhao, the top student, took the initiative to take on the task of confirming missions and distributing the money.

Thus, a Weibo post claiming ”Lu Xiaobu is number one in the world” quickly trended, receiving over three hundred thousand likes.

Of course, it also cost a whopping one hundred and fifty-six thousand three hundred RMB!

Anyone who saw this was completely dumbfounded!

And those trolls who participated lightheartedly, after receiving the real but modest payment, finally believed that this wasn’t just for fun, but there was real money to be made, and suddenly their eyes all sharpened.

”There really is money to be made! Fifty cents per like? This money is too easy to earn!”

”Holy smokes, Young Master Bu, hurry up and release more tasks. My knife is already thirsting for action!”

”That’s right, I’m definitely going to make a hundred bucks today!”

”...”

”Wow haha!” Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily as he watched his Weibo soar in popularity: ”Hahaha, this is the power of paid trolls!”

”...” Everyone fell silent — although what you’re saying isn’t wrong, and what you did is correct, why do we still have this pit in our stomachs?!

”Sister Lan, alright, now let’s go beat up that damn rabbit!” Lu Xiaobu, cheered up, issued the real task.

”Yes, Young Master!” Liang Lan immediately nodded in agreement.

”First things first, Li Qiang, it’s you, your task is to lead a hundred thousand people to dominate the hot comments under the ’Delicious Life’ Weibo, to recount the event’s unfoldings, this task is of utmost importance, do you have confidence?” Liang Lan said in an incredibly efficient manner.

”Yes! Mission will be accomplished!” Li Qiang shouted immediately.

Liang Lan: ”Good. Yumian Chilong, I need you to help by posting a clarification on your Weibo.”

Fatty: ”I’ve already posted it.”

”No, not enough, you need to post again, and @ all of the current trending people, as well as the official Weibo accounts of the police and the courts, accuse them of slander, and get your fans to help share to increase the attention. Since the other side wants to make a big deal out of it, let’s blow it up!”

”Alright, I’m duty-bound!”

Liang Lan: ”Brother Lu...”

Lu Hongbin: ”You’re the boss now, as long as it’s for venting Young Master Bu’s anger, the Lu family will listen to you, just call me by my name.”

Liang Lan: ”Alright then, Lu Hongbin, your Weibo must’ve been besieged by now, and without looking, I know most of it is slander against Young Master Bu, but ignore that for now. Post the recipe for boiled cabbage in plain water, and @ all the big shots in the food world you know. Although the impact is slight, it’s better than nothing.”

Lu Hongbin: ”So I just watch them curse Xiaobu?”

A sharp glint appeared in Liang Lan’s eyes: ”Curse? They’ll have their time to cry in a moment.”

”Alright! I’ll follow your lead.”

Liang Lan: ”Lu Wenhao, you are in charge of managing the finances. You must ensure that the salaries of the paid trolls are transferred in real-time; if there’s one post, make one payment, and don’t complain about the hassle. We must win these people’s loyalty.”

Lu Wenhao: ”No problem, you can count on me.”

Liang Lan: ”As for the rest, divide into teams of ten thousand each, numbered one to twenty, ready to follow my command at any moment.”

A fierce light blazed in Liang Lan’s eyes — the war had begun!

Young Master, I will prove to you that I’m not just a decorative vase!

There’s one more thing, what exactly did you do last night?

Why does your underwear have a strange smell?
