Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 1047 - 1045: Duel
"Young Master, what should we do?" Liang Lan asked.
We can’t engage in any discounted promotional activities, either in name or reality, right now.
Otherwise, under Lin Feng’s venomous surveillance, such actions would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. Maybe we could earn five billion today, but by nightfall, we’d lose ten billion!
Besides, even if all conditions are met, the review for the First Level Rich List won’t be finalized in one day.
They need to maintain for at least three days.
So, this action must earn the five billion openly under the existing rules!
"Let’s find someone from the First Level Rich List first." Lu Xiaobu yawned and said, "Doesn’t it require two people to recommend?"
"Who to find?" Liang Lan said somewhat dumbly.
The Young Master’s reputation on the Rich List is known throughout the world; how could anyone at this critical moment agree to recommend the Young Master?
"Master Xue Yun." Lu Xiaobu smiled: "This guy still owes me something, right!"
"Oh, Master Xue Yun!" Liang Lan suddenly understood!
Yes, Xue Yun!
Don’t you remember?!
Back then, after the Young Master spoke those Zen words in the temple, a person from the First Level Rich List was very impressed by those Buddhist words.
Later, the Young Master made an agreement with him to have Xue Yun prevent the Second Level Rich List from targeting him for half a year.
However, in the end, Xue Yun did not succeed, and the Young Master has not pursued it; now, it’s time to collect that debt!
For someone who believes in Buddhism, if he can’t even do this, he should be careful not to stray from the righteous path!
Let’s go.
Lu Xiaobu took Liang Lan to Master Xue Yun’s house.
"Who? Please stop!"
Two bodyguards at the door blocked Lu Xiaobu: "Master Xue Yun is doing his homework, please come back later!"
Unlike ordinary millionaires who refuse to see guests, Master Xue Yun’s place is frequented by followers to discuss Buddhist Law.
Of course, guests are not entertained during study sessions.
"Tell Master Xue Yun, it’s me, Lu Xiaobu; he will see me." Lu Xiaobu yawned as he spoke.
"Lu Xiaobu?!" The bodyguard’s hairs stood on end at hearing the name.
Who hasn’t heard of Lu Xiaobu’s name?!
So, their firm resolve wavered, unsure whether to disturb Master Xue Yun during his study!
Finally, a secretary came out, bowed to Lu Xiaobu, and said, "Please wait, Master Lu. I’ll notify him immediately."
The two guards let out a sigh of relief.
However, their hearts were equally shocked!
Actually disturbing Master Xue Yun during his studies!
They remember once when even the top three from the First Level Rich List had to wait at the door until the session finished before meeting him.
This is not about respecting or disrespecting someone but about respect for the Buddha.
It’s what Master Xue Yun values most!
The turned-around secretary smiled wryly; the bodyguards didn’t know, but he did, didn’t he?
No matter from which aspect, if Lu Xiaobu wanted to see Master Xue Yun now, they had to notify him!
Disrespecting the Buddha?!
For a conscience-tormented Master Xue Yun, sticking to superficial rites toward Buddhism would be the ultimate disrespect!
Just like what Master Lu said in Buddhist words: there’s fundamentally nothing, so where can dust alight!
Every sip and morsel is preordained!
Quickly.
Master Xue Yun hastened out, pressing his palms together in greeting to Lu Xiaobu: "I wasn’t expecting such a distinguished guest, forgive my inattentiveness!"
"It’s no bother, interrupting your studies is my fault." Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
Honestly, he feels quite good about this Buddhist person; at least with such people, there’s no need to be overly wary.
In a restless society that regards principles lower than dogshit, having such a person is quite commendable!
"Please come in." Master Xue Yun opened the sandalwood-scented room, inviting Lu Xiaobu inside.
When the tea was served, Master Xue Yun spoke again: "Regarding that past matter, I haven’t slept well since. If there’s anything you need help with, just say it!"
"I wouldn’t be here otherwise; let me be blunt. I’d like to ask Master Xue Yun to recommend me to the First Level Rich List." Lu Xiaobu stated directly.
"This..." Master Xue Yun furrowed his brows.
He expected that Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t come empty-handed.
Yet, he didn’t anticipate such a request.
Though a Buddhist, he’s also a businessman; how could he not know things currently shaking the business field?
Recommending Lu Xiaobu now undoubtedly means opposing Lin Feng!
Still, after some thought, he sighed and agreed: "Ah, what goes around comes around, fine, I’ll agree."
"Then thank you." Lu Xiaobu smiled.
"I wonder if you’d like to submit the application now? Are your conditions met?" Master Xue Yun asked.
"No, I’m five billion short of assets, and you’re the only one I’ve found." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.
"This..."
Master Xue Yun chuckled in disbelief: "Isn’t that like having nothing prepared?"
"Does that mean Master Xue Yun doesn’t believe in me?" Lu Xiaobu smirked slightly.
Seeing this smile, Master Xue Yun’s heart skipped a beat.
He had seen this smile before when Lu Xiaobu said he’d surpass half of the Second Level Rich List in six months; he hadn’t believed it then!
And at that time, Lu Xiaobu bore this same smile.
The outcome, though Master Xue Yun didn’t fully fulfill his promise, was that Lu Xiaobu still accomplished it!
Now, the smile appeared once more!
"Okay then, I shall wait for good news!" Master Xue Yun laughed.
No matter the external chaos, those who know Lu Xiaobu realize the term ’miracle’ isn’t just idle talk!
"Thank you, then I’ll not disturb you further!" Lu Xiaobu stood up.
"Please, we must exchange wits sometime, Master Lu!" Master Xue Yun said with a smile.
"Of course!" Lu Xiaobu left with a smile.
Leaving Master Xue Yun’s house, Liang Lan clenched her fists, a bit excited: "Oh yeah, we’ve accomplished the first step!"
The first step is always the hardest; with the Young Master having a light start, things would smooth out from here.
"The first step?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled lightly: "We haven’t even begun the first step yet."
"Huh?" Liang Lan was taken aback: "There are two major conditions and three minor ones in total; we’ve completed one. Isn’t that the first step?"
"Nominally the first step, but not practically. From now on, our objective is entirely exposed to Lin Feng!" Lu Xiaobu squinted slightly.
Lin Feng, you’re coming, aren’t you! Let’s have a duel then!
