Those critics are feeling the sting of a slap in the face.

Meanwhile, the bigwigs on the wealth list are busy analyzing the situation this time around.

Especially those who were previously ranked second, third, oh, and the eighth!

Their expressions are all of regret!

"Sigh, we all overlooked a major issue!"

"Yes, Lu Xiaobu’s usual behavior made us forget that he’s also a businessman, someone who can invest, and even sell shares!"

"We thought that if each of our three families gave up over thirty billion it would be enough, but we were caught off guard!"

"Sigh, now we are no longer able to compete with Lu Xiaobu!"

"Exactly, it’s only now that I realize how terrifying a fully-owned Lu Group truly is!"

"By the way, where’s Feng Xiao, why haven’t we seen him?!"

"Who knows! Maybe he’s in hiding!"

"..."

It was only at this moment that these magnates remembered that aside from the 49% share of Alipay owned by the state, the rest of Lu Group is fully owned by Lu Xiaobu!

In other words, as long as he is profitable, he doesn’t need to consider dividends—he can use all of it as working capital!

Moreover, when making decisions, he doesn’t need to consider any nonsense board suggestions and can completely have the final say!

Don’t think this is just talk; this is a huge advantage and convenience!

For instance, if a business opportunity arises and they want to invest, they have to consider the views of all shareholders, and even take into account the interlocking personal relationships!

This makes the road to turning their ideas into reality a winding one!

They also have to consider the success rate; if they fail, they have to pay a big price!

However, Lu Xiaobu doesn’t need to!

No, not at all!

He can gamble whenever he wants, and even if he loses, no one dares to say a word!

This is the state all businessmen desire most, but once they accepted financing to strive for speed, it became a thing of the past!

Yet, Lu Xiaobu has always been like this!

Jealous and envious!

...

Lin Family.

Lin Feng.

"Housekeeper Jia, Lu Xiaobu did it." Housekeeper Jia’s one eye was filled with a look of shock.

He didn’t expect Young Master Lu actually did it!

Every single hit, every one captures the heart, is Young Master Lu from the future?!

Why can he always be so accurate every time?!

Hmm, he didn’t know that his thoughts were already infinitely close to the correct answer!

"Whew! He really did it!" Lin Feng let out a long breath.

Even he felt a bit shaken.

How difficult is it for a business that never relies on investment and starts from scratch to succeed?

The difficulty is unimaginable to most people!

Simply put, one wrong step, and it could spell disaster!

After all, while shareholders and investors often limit you, isn’t that also a way to control risks?!

Yet, Lu Xiaobu doesn’t need this risk control; he really stepped from an obscure little spender to the top of the wealth list!

And all this, in just a few short years!

This ability, he thought about it, if it were him, he might not be able to do it!

"Let’s go." Lin Feng stood up.

"Go find Lu Xiaobu?" Housekeeper Jia asked.

He guessed, but didn’t dare to confirm!

How long has it been since Young Master Lin took such an attitude to find Young Master Lu?!

A long, long time!

"Yes! Let’s congratulate him!" Lin Feng tidied up his clothes: "As for the congratulatory gift, just Feng Xiao."

"Yes! Understood!" The red light flashed in the only eye of Housekeeper Jia.

He knew what to do!

...

Lu Family.

"Lu Xiaobu really did it." The Family Head of the Lu Family, Lu Kongshen, took a deep breath and reached for the cigarettes he had quit for a long time.

"Old man, why must Feng Xiao be killed?"Lu Hui, whose face was covered in scars like a demon but had a good figure, walked out and asked Lu Kong.

Upon closer inspection, one would find there was not a trace of filial affection in Lu Hui’s eyes for her father.

She even called him "old man."

"You don’t need to worry about this." Lu Kongshen glanced at Lu Hui and didn’t explain.

"Alright, I’m leaving." Lu Hui didn’t press further and turned to leave!

She didn’t want to stay in this house any longer.

She was tired of the way those people looked at her face!

Going out and finding a couple of young guys, giving them some money, and she could hear praises!

She knew it was fake, but so what?

Seeing those so-called handsome young men that little girls dreamed about being at her beck and call always gave her a thrill!

After Lu Hui left, Lu Kongshen let out a deep sigh.

He didn’t blame Lu Hui for her attitude. When he chose the Family Head position and abandoned her mother, he knew this day would come sooner or later.

Killing Feng Xiao was just a little consolation for himself!

Maybe someone would laugh at him—this deep strategist, an explosive mind, actually has someone he cares about?

He didn’t want to explain this question!

"Someone come, prepare a grand gift, I want to make a trip to Lu Group." Lu Kongshen extinguished the cigarette after a couple of puffs and stood up.

...

Zhu Family.

"Feng Xiao lost?" The Family Head of the Zhu Family remarked casually while holding the intelligence report.

"Yes, he lost." The housekeeper bowed and reported.

"Alright, then he has no value anymore. Cancel the engagement." The Zhu Family Head said calmly, with not a trace of fluctuation in his tone.

To him, it was just an unfinished transaction.

If the other party didn’t meet the conditions, then cancel it!

"Should we bring Miss back?" the housekeeper asked.

"No need, let her stay with Lu Xiaobu." The Zhu Family Head thought for a moment and shook his head: "Also, go with me to Lu Xiaobu and bring along that pair of lions from the storeroom."

"Yes!" The housekeeper complied!

...

Xue Family.

"Oh my goodness, amazing! My son-in-law, tsk tsk tsk! Just amazing!" Xue Changzhi exclaimed proudly at the people in the family meeting.

"What son-in-law? Wait until it’s finalized before you speak!" The second brother of the Xue family said.

"Right! I have the same question, what’s happening with Linlin? It’s been so long, and there’s still no progress?!" The third brother of the Xue family asked anxiously.

At this moment, any remaining thoughts they had about not wanting Xue Lin to marry out had long since vanished!

Lu Xiaobu, number one on the wealth list, a Divine List family member, one of the two crowns of Jianghu!

Such a person, it’s no longer about whether he is worthy of them, but whether they are worthy of Lu Xiaobu!

"Why not use some medicine?!" The second brother of the Xue family came up with a bad idea!

"Hmm, good idea!" The third brother of the Xue family nodded!

Xue Changzhi slapped his forehead—damn it! A bunch of pig brains!

"Without great power, don’t say such things!" Xue Changzhi said emphatically!
