Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Heavy Responsibility of Ruining the Family [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

The next day, Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin finally returned to normal, but their gazes kept unintentionally drifting downwards, causing Lu Xiaobu to feel uneasy.

Since the acquisition of Creation Chinese Website was just completed, as the boss, Lu Xiaobu felt it was necessary to visit the headquarters, so he skipped class to go there.

Cough cough cough, what, you’re saying Lu Xiaobu went there just to skip class?

What nonsense!

You should know this, but never ever tell Lu Wenhuo.

”Young Master, this is the general manager of Creation Chinese Website—Zhang Guan. Since I’m not familiar with this area, he’s the one managing the main tasks,” Liang Lan introduced to Lu Xiaobu.

Zhang Guan had a round face with round glasses and two big dark circles under his eyes, making Lu Xiaobu inexplicably feel like he was looking at a panda!

”That panda over there. Open our website for me to see,” Lu Xiaobu said.

Liang Lan facepalmed—great, my introduction went useless!

”Um...”

Zhang Guan’s mouth twitched immediately!

Panda?!

Who’s the panda?

How did I become a panda?!

However, he knew the person in front of him was his boss, so he could only give a wry smile: ”Alright, Young Master.”

He opened the homepage of the website which appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu.

”What’s this mess? Why are there so many ads?”

Lu Xiaobu looked at the dense top banner ads, pop-up ads, and side ads on the website, instantly speechless!

”This is the norm in our industry! Even Firepower Chinese Website has these ads!”

Panda—oh no, Zhang Guan explained.

”Are readers here to read novels or to see ads? Get rid of them, all of them!”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.

”Ah? Get rid of them?”

Zhang Guan was shocked: ”But, Young Master, if they are all removed, we won’t have any income!”

”Income? I want income? Then what do I need you for?” Lu Xiaobu muttered, ”Right now, the only wasteful thing I have left in my hands is your website. If you start making money, I’d have to find ways to squander it.”

”Um...”

Zhang Guan fell silent!

He was utterly unable to comprehend Lu Xiaobu’s thinking.

Buying his website just to squander money?

His glance involuntarily sought Liang Lan, looking for an answer!

Liang Lan solemnly nodded at him: ”Indeed, the only wasteful project Young Master has left is yours, which is very tough!”

”Now Young Master Bu’s beverage project has a daily net income of about five million, the bar has a daily net income of about five hundred thousand, and only your website isn’t making a profit!”

Upon hearing Liang Lan’s words, Zhang Guan was in tears!

He really didn’t understand the thinking of a big boss, and he kneeled before it!

He thought of ways to make money every day, but it always boiled down to earning from ads.

Young Master Bu, on the other hand, thought of ways to squander money daily, yet kept earning!

What’s happening with society?

Carrying the title of Young Master Bu’s only squandering project on his shoulders.

He inexplicably felt a heavy burden!

”Right, I want you to create a book-reading app for mobile, it should be sleek and stylish—I’m tired of using .txt files to read novels every day,” Lu Xiaobu arranged: ”Sister Lan, let Panda contact Li Xide and my elder brother about this.”

”Ah? A book-reading app?”

Zhang Guan was dumbfounded!

Nowadays, novel websites all existed in the form of websites!

Readers would read novels on web pages, what book-reading app, he hadn’t even heard of it!

Once again, he looked towards Liang Lan seeking an answer.

”It’s just about designing a book-reading app for Young Master’s phone,” Liang Lan explained helplessly: ”Young Master’s phone is different from others, forget it, you wouldn’t understand. I’ll give you the number of the phone designer, he’s also one of the Young Master’s people, and here’s fifty thousand...”

”One hundred thousand,” Lu Xiaobu interrupted Liang Lan: ”Let me tell you, this hundred thousand must be spent completely, all thrown into this app!”

”One... one... hundred thousand?!”

Zhang Guan looked even more like a panda now!

His heart was twitching!

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen money!

But I’ve never seen such extravagant spending!

A million just to install a reading app on a smartphone?

And currently, Young Master Bu is the only person who has this phone!

How is that different from spending a fortune on a gold toilet that can only be used by oneself, not seen by others, or used by others?

He was certain, the Young Master indeed led him to financial ruin!

Zhang Guan disheartenedly made a call to Li Xide.

However, Lu Xiaobu was very happy.

Another million squandered!

Adding to yesterday’s leftover and today’s expenditure on the authors, he now has three million!

Since Sexual Ability and health are full, and he isn’t in urgent need to increase Speed and Strength attributes, Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together preparing to draw a major prize.

After all, the more money you have, the better the items you’ll get. The last Immortal Bean was an example.

”System, a three million draw, do it all at once,” Lu Xiaobu excitedly said.

”Congratulations, you’ve drawn two Memory Breads.”

”Memory Bread—created by a culinary god from a certain plane. After becoming a god, he continued to search for the most delicious thing. Eventually, he discovered that memory is the most delectable thing, so he created the Memory Bread.”

”After consuming the Memory Bread, the eater can recall the moments they wish to remember, and these memories transform into unique taste sensations, incredibly delicious!”

Hearing the system’s explanation, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes sparkled!

He couldn’t wait to stuff a piece into his mouth!

What he wanted to recall was his initial...unspoken affection back on Earth.

As he gave the command, the slightly blurry memories in his mind began to clarify bit by bit.

And the bread in his mouth started to burst with an unparalleled deliciousness!

The first time he met her...

That heart-throbbing feeling...

That bashfulness...

That shyness...

Made the Memory Bread emit a light sweetness, and a hint of spiciness in the mouth.

These two not-so-strong flavors were quite intoxicating, even causing Lu Xiaobu’s face to flush!

Just like the heart-fluttering feeling back then.

The first time he talked to her...

Spicy, hot, numbing, three stimulating flavors filled his mouth...

Excited, immensely excited!

Accidentally seeing her walking with another boy...

Rough, sour, salty, three unpleasant tastes surged...

Feeling sad, distressed, unable to sleep all night.

Next day, found out that was her brother...

Sweet, this time only one flavor...

This sweetness after the three unpleasant tastes was so stimulating, so thrilling!

Just like his insomnia that night!

Following memories, one by one, transformed into flavors.

Secretly paying attention to her was sweet...

Discovering she noticed his deliberately showcased works was spicy...

Feeling unworthy compared to her academic achievements was sour...

Struggling to study overnight, trying to catch up was both bitter and sweet...

Finally...

That phrase ’I like you,’ never said until they parted...

Turned into a rich, mellow wine flavor...

Initial taste was spicy, choking, but left an endless aftertaste...

And the longer it lingered, the more fragrant it became...

Perhaps, not saying it was better than saying it...
