Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Going Too Far! [Please collect, please recommend]

Wu Feng’s face was deathly pale, as if he were half dead.

The most attractive thing to him was neither the top spot on the Newcomer Rich List nor the planner of ”A Chinese Odyssey,” but the phrase college entrance exam top scorer!

How could that be possible?!

College entrance exam top scorer?!

He believed that no one was more terrified than he was upon hearing this news!

After all, during the college entrance exam, he sat right next to Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu answered so quickly, handing in papers ahead of time for every subject without even checking.

And now he’s the top scorer of the college entrance exam?!

Is this some kind of joke?

He would never believe it, even if beaten to death!

But the words of two professors from Qinghua Emperor University and Emperor Electric’s Principal forced him to believe!

The Lu Xiaobu he once thought lacked any talent was indeed the genuine college entrance exam top scorer!

But beyond the shock, there was also a hint of envy.

This is what it means to be the college entrance exam top scorer!

Qinghua Emperor begged him to join, and he was indifferent.

A simple phone call to any university, and the principal would offer him a professor’s position on the spot!

In this moment, he finally understood what disparity meant!

It’s not scary if someone naturally starts off on a higher rung than you, but it is if not only do they start higher, they’re racing you in an airplane while you’re on legs!

Ask yourself, just having two legs, how despairing is that!

Actually, that’s still not despair.

Because, his legs are about to be broken!

”Go to Qinghua,” Wu Feng, ”we at Emperor don’t need a student with your poor character!” Sun Haiqing said through gritted teeth.

”Let it be, go to Emperor! Our Qinghua Temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like you!”

Hou Zheng also sneered coldly.

Grades are never the sole criterion for selecting talent.

Untalented and immoral, merely rubbish!

But talented and immoral, that’s hazardous!

Lu Xiaobu, loaded with wealth, talent, and people’s support, yet still courteous and capable of stepping back for a broader view!

Whereas this semi-talented Wu Feng pushes aggressively and bites without reason!

Such a person, the better you train them, the more of a cancer they become for society!

”What! No! I! You!”

The color drained from Wu Feng’s face in an instant!

His legs were broken!

Both Qinghua and Emperor didn’t want him, and even if he could find a university that wanted him, he would still become everyone’s laughingstock!

There he was, falling to his knees, ”Don’t, please give me a chance, I really made a mistake!”

Seeing Wu Feng’s condition, Sun Haiqing and Hou Zheng exchanged glances, their disappointment even deeper!

If Wu Feng had kept his pride, they might have considered being lenient.

However, the moment he heard this news, his immediate action completely shattered their hope for him.

”Lu Xiaobu, since you’ve decided, I won’t insist,” Sun Haiqing, without even glancing at Wu Feng, told Lu Xiaobu, ”But if you have time, come visit Emperor. I’ll personally be your guide!”

”Indeed, we at Qinghua also welcome you warmly!” Hou Zheng sincerely nodded his head.

Even though Lu Xiaobu had made up his mind, what if he changed his mind?

Anything could happen, couldn’t it?

At this moment, the difference was clear!

While they ignored Wu Feng, who was begging them,

they still couldn’t forget Lu Xiaobu, who had already decided on his school!

”I will visit when I have time.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded his head, then left his contact numbers for the two professors.

These were scholarly people; he wouldn’t insult them with vulgar rewards.

”Goodbye!”

The two professors nodded with a smile.

They grew increasingly fond of Lu Xiaobu, who was neither servile nor overbearing, unpredictable in actions but clear in moral boundaries!

It seems you really can’t believe everything you read online!

The two walked straight out of the private room.

”Professor, professors!”

Wu Feng scrambled after them!

But at this point, he had already become a complete joke.

...

The banquet continued, with nobody here considering Wu Feng at all, as it was just Wu Feng jumping about on his own from the start!

After a delightful meal.

The group left the private room.

But they found that the hotel bellboys were all surrounding a bunch of people, seemingly in an argument.

”What’s happening?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Young Master Bu, they are paparazzi, here to take sneak photos of you.”

The bellboy who was previously tipped immediately said, ”After I spotted them, I had the guys encircle them.”

This bellboy was clever as a mirror.

Taking money from someone, warding off their disasters.

Although it was Young Master Bu who tipped him, he had to do what he could.

Besides, once Young Master Bu found out, wouldn’t he reward him more?

”Great! I’ll give ten thousand, and five thousand for each of the other brothers!”

Lu Xiaobu immediately laughed, this bellboy was interesting!

”Thank you, Young Master Bu! May Young Master Bu reign over Jianghu for generations!”

All the bellboys suddenly cheered loudly, everyone grinning from ear to ear!

Young Master Bu was indeed generous!

Chen Feiyang and a group of prominent celebrities were all marveling.

Although it was a celebration party and getting photographed wouldn’t matter, not being photographed was obviously better!

”Young Master Bu is really something else!”

”Yes, when we were secretly photographed before, those bellboys would at least not help the paparazzi if they weren’t collaborating. But with Young Master Bu, without him even saying a word, the bellboys took initiative and did the job!”

”Such a gap, such a gap!”

”Jealous, so jealous!”

”...”

”All you paparazzi, hand over the stuff.”

Lu Xiaobu said to them.

The paparazzi looked at each other, none too pleased.

This was all explosive material!

What?

You say it’s not explosive news?

No worries, modern editors can start with one picture; the content is all made up, so everything becomes explosive material!

”Hand it over, one thousand each, or I’ll break your legs!”

Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and said blandly.

”Young Master Bu, please take them!”

The paparazzi immediately surrendered their weapons!

Yeah, better not provoke him!

The celebrities dare not lay a hand on them.

But Lu Xiaobu was different!

He was a prodigal son who never cared for reputation.

Better quit while you’re ahead!

A thousand is still a thousand.

While Zhang Meng was collecting the memory cards from the paparazzi, Chen Feiyang’s phone rang.

”Old Li, what’s up?”

It was Principal Li from Emperor Electric.

”Is Lu Xiaobu with you?”

It was perfectly normal for Principal Li, the head of a school, to call Lu Xiaobu by his name.

”He is!”

Chen Feiyang nodded.

”Good, please inform him that we have a freshman summer camp and he must grace us with his presence!”

Principal Li said earnestly.

”Freshman summer camp? Since when does Emperor Electric have that?”

Chen Feiyang was stunned!

Principal Li: ”I’ve just decided on it.”

”Uhm... what about the time?”

Chen Feiyang was speechless; this was clearly just to curry favor with Lu Xiaobu to ensure he wouldn’t back out!

Well, he was an honorary professor at Emperor Electric after all and of course would still help his alma mater.

”It depends on when Lu Xiaobu is available!”

”And the location...”

”Wherever Lu Xiaobu wants to go play!”

”I...”

Chen Feiyang was speechless!

Old buddy, that’s a bit over the top!

That’s just too blatant!
