Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1047: Drenched in Sweat

Ding Jian changed his clothes and walked out of the room: ”Xiaobu, let’s go. Try the local specialties here.”

”Let’s go.” Lu Xiaobu nodded, stood up, and walked out.

That calm and lazy expression hardly showed that he was here asking Ding Jian for something; instead, it seemed as if he were the master of the place.

Ding Jian watched Lu Xiaobu’s back and seemed to understand why Young Master Lin valued Lu Xiaobu so highly.

This kind of charisma is not something just anyone can possess!

Of course, having power makes it charisma; without power, it’s just foolishness!

Lu Xiaobu is undoubtedly the former, without any dispute!

At the hotel, Ding Jian ordered a table full of good dishes and even prepared a variety of street snacks on the table.

”I’ve heard for a long time that you love these street snacks, Xiaobu, so I specially prepared them. See if you like them?” Ding Jian said heartily.

”Oh?!” Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised, then reverted to normal. ”President Ding really knows everything!”

From the adjacent room, Lin Feng was fuming: ”This idiot! Did a dog eat your brain?! How could you know Lu Xiaobu’s habits?! This is your first meeting, after all! Isn’t this basically telling him you’ve investigated him?!”

Ding Jian heard this and was instantly shocked.

He never expected such a simple statement would make Lu Xiaobu suspicious.

However, being chosen by Lin Feng means that he’s not really brainless.

”Haha, Xiaobu, sorry, sorry! I did have someone investigate you!” Ding Jian admitted openly.

”Oh?” Lu Xiaobu showed a half-smile, waiting for Ding Jian to continue.

”To be honest, Lin Feng reached out to me, but not just me; he contacted the entire First Level Rich List because he doesn’t want you to enter it.”

Ding Jian shrugged, opened a bottle, and said, ”It’s my old habit to gather intel before deploying forces, so I asked around about you.”

His statement was calm, without any additional reaction, as if he were merely recounting the matter.

He is still the one being requested, explaining too much would only expose weaknesses.

”Oh, I see. Apologies, apologies, it seems I was too cautious!” Lu Xiaobu laughed.

Simultaneously, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief: ”This fool is lucky he wasn’t completely stupid!”

”...”

Next, Ding Jian and Lu Xiaobu toasted each other, continuously probing and understanding each other.

As the conversation proceeded, Ding Jian felt increasingly shocked!

This Lu Xiaobu is terrifying!

He caught every subtle clue effortlessly!

Quoting history, reviewing the past, envisioning the future, each move was executed with perfection by Lu Xiaobu; any flaw would be seized!

Eventually, he was forced to use nine truths and one lie to handle Lu Xiaobu!

This means that in this conversation, Lu Xiaobu grasped ninety percent of his situation!

This is really scary!

Fortunately, the critical information that he is Lin Feng’s man hasn’t leaked!

In this way, there was no problem now.

”Alright then, it’s settled.” Lu Xiaobu stood up with a satisfied smile, shaking hands with Ding Jian.

”Alright, it’s settled. Once you meet the conditions, I’ll recommend you immediately!” Ding Jian nodded.

”Then goodbye, next time President Ding comes to my place, I’ll treat you to our local specialties.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”Alright.” Ding Jian agreed once again.

Lu Xiaobu left.

However, Ding Jian remained seated, drinking alone.

This was specially arranged by Young Master Lin; there was no time to explain why, but he insisted that Ding Jian must sit for five minutes drinking and not say a word.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes.

Ding Jian started to grow impatient, finding sitting for five minutes meaningless.

He prepared to get up and go to the next room!

At that moment.

”Knock, knock, knock!”

The room door was knocked.

”Eh, President Ding hasn’t left?” Lu Xiaobu suddenly walked in.

Ding Jian’s expression changed dramatically.

Then, he fiercely pinched the inside of his thigh!

A sharp pain shot through him, restoring his expression to normal in an instant!

”Xiaobu? Why did you come back?” Ding Jian smiled as he looked at Lu Xiaobu: ”You know, my family is strict, it’s hard to drink a few sips, so I’m a bit reluctant.”

”Oh?! Didn’t expect President Ding to be wealthy and yet love your wife so much! That’s great, great! A good man!”

Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: ”I just came back to pick up my phone which I dropped earlier.”

”Oh, I was too focused on drinking, didn’t notice!” Ding Jian laughed.

”Then I’m leaving.” Lu Xiaobu picked up his phone and bid farewell again.

After two minutes.

”Alright, he’s gone.” Lin Feng opened the door and walked in.

Instantly.

”Swish!”

Ding Jian’s previously dry body suddenly began to sweat profusely, soaking all his clothes.

He never expected that Lu Xiaobu would circle back!

If he had gone to the next room earlier, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t have seen him or his car leave, making him suspicious enough to investigate.

If he had said anything about the situation earlier, it definitely would have exposed a flaw!

After all, Lu Xiaobu’s ability to spot flaws, he had already deeply experienced!

If he hadn’t followed Young Master Lin’s orders, he would surely have ruined it!

Of course, the quick-witted control of his expressions earlier, along with the ability to control his sweat, also saved him!

”Young Master Lin, how did you know he’d circle back? Even the timing was so precise?!” Ding Jian asked, panting heavily.

”Because I know him well enough! If it exceeds five minutes, it indicates strong suspicion, and the plan fails! So five minutes is just right! It indicates he’s suspicious of you but doesn’t want to anger you, leading to the plan’s failure!”

Lin Feng sat in the seat Lu Xiaobu had occupied earlier, directly picking up his chopsticks to eat: ”I’m starving! Watching you guys feast, it was so annoying!”

”Young Master Lin, let me get you a new pair! Those were used by Lu Xiaobu!” Ding Jian hastily said.

What happened to Young Master Lin? Why would he use things others have used?

”It’s fine, it’s fine, just filling my stomach! Besides, this guy used them... haha!” Lin Feng sneered.

When he first fled back from abroad, the two of them were wandering in Magic City. Forget using his chopsticks, this rascal even snatched his cigarettes, what’s there to be picky about?!
