Hua Wenyan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and once again resumed that superior demeanor: "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hua Wenyan, I am the general manager of the largest novel website in the country, Firepower Chinese Novel Network."
Hearing Hua Wenyan’s introduction.
The students who were mocking him just now suddenly gasped.
"He’s the general manager of Firepower Chinese Network?!"
"No way, that’s terrifying. In other words, the novels we read are all written by his employees?"
"Oh my god, he’s a big shot! And we almost got into a fight with him just a moment ago?"
Hearing the exclamations around him, Hua Wenyan let out a cold laugh.
These migrant workers finally realized the gap between them and him.
He looked at Lu Xiaobu, looking forward to seeing the reaction on Lu Xiaobu’s face.
But Lu Xiaobu just nodded indifferently.
The authors who were locked in the small black room also belonged to this website.
Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s bland reaction.
A sense of frustration surged in Hua Wenyan’s heart.
It felt like punching a cotton ball, an incredibly suffocating feeling.
"I won’t waste words with you. I came here today to see for myself what someone nominated alongside me for the Newcomer Rich List is really made of. Now it seems that there is really no need for me to come." Hua Wenyan said sarcastically: "After seeing the nominees for this Newcomer Rich List, it’s definitely going to be mine!"
He sneered in his heart—After hearing the term Newcomer Rich List, let’s see if you can keep up the act.
"Newcomer Rich List? What is that thing?" Lu Xiaobu was surprised.
Hua Wenyan felt so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
What in the world does this Lu Xiaobu do?
Even nominated for the Newcomer Rich List and he still doesn’t know what the list is?
"No way! Lu Xiaobu, you were nominated for the Newcomer Rich List? Are those guys blind?"
Zhou Jingyuan’s surprised voice came from behind, she quickly pulled out her phone to check, then cried out in amazement: "You really were nominated! And the other nominee is the son of the boss of Firepower Chinese Network, Hua Wenyan. Lu Xiaobu, you’re amazing!"
"So what exactly is that thing?" asked Lu Xiaobu.
"The Newcomer Rich List is a smaller list that leads to the actual Rich List, and everyone on the list is a remarkable figure."
Zhou Jingyuan explained excitedly: "Once you enter this list, it’s not just a matter of reputation, but also about getting the attention of the big shots, and they might even give you preferences on certain projects."
"To put it simply, as long as you can get on the Newcomer Rich List, you’re basically opening the door to wealth! You are now a social elite! The live voting event is being broadcast right now!"
The surrounding students were also incredibly excited.
"No way, that’s awesome?"
"I go to class every day with the social elite Young Master Bu? I’m so blessed!"
"Young Master Bu is mighty and overpowering!"
"Hurry, hurry, let’s watch the live broadcast."
"Boring." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "If there was a list of prodigal sons, I might be interested, but this? Forget it. Can I withdraw?"
The very thing countless people dream of, and you want to withdraw?
"Xiaobu." Wu Qianmin immediately tried to persuade: "Think about Uncle Lu and the others, they would probably be very happy if you make it onto the list."
"Uh..." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Fine, I won’t withdraw."
"Actually, I advise you it’s better to withdraw, at least that way you can keep some dignity." Hua Wenyan mocked with full confidence.
On the TV live broadcast.
The highly anticipated "Newcomer Rich List" was being broadcast live.
There were three judges sitting at the host’s table.
Professional Rich List accountant—Wang Aide.
The current number one on the Newcomer Rich List—Shi Jinhao.
And the famous economist Tao Aijun, who was cursed by Lu Xiaobu on "Genius or Idiot" last time.
Wang Aide: "Hello everyone, I’m here to announce the assets of these two nominees for the Newcomer Rich List. Hua Wenyan’s current wealth index—thirteen million. Lu Xiaobu’s current wealth index—thirteen million five hundred thousand."
The calculation of the Rich List in this world is quite strict.
It’s not that you have five million you have an index of five million.
They have their own set of algorithms, which consider your costs, family Strength, personal Power, and so on.
Some nouveau riche may even end up with a negative index after the calculations.
So this index is absolutely correct.
Shi Jinhao: "These two people are pretty close. Didn’t expect that Lu Xiaobu, who is always talking about wasting his family’s wealth, actually has a higher index than Hua Wenyan."
Tao Aijun: "It’s not over yet! Besides, if the difference is just one-tenth, we still have to take a comprehensive look."
Shi Jinhao: "It seems that Professor Tao doesn’t like Lu Xiaobu, you always speak for Hua Wenyan."
Tao Aijun: "No, I’m just being fair and impartial. Now, let me connect with the two nominees by phone. Please connect Hua Wenyan’s phone."
Hua Wenyan was in the midst of mocking Lu Xiaobu.
At this moment, his phone rang.
Hua Wenyan quickly answered it.
At that moment, the usually arrogant Hua Wenyan appeared extremely humble, constantly agreeing with Tao Aijun on the other end of the phone.
"Alright, alright, thank you, Professor."
"I will definitely pay attention."
After hanging up, Hua Wenyan, with his nose in the air, said to Lu Xiaobu: "See? The judge called me first. You don’t stand a chance."
Tao Aijun: "When I called Hua Wenyan just now, everyone heard it, he’s quite humble, I have a good impression of him so far."
Shi Jinhao: "Professor Tao, you aren’t biased towards Hua Wenyan because of your previous conflict with Lu Xiaobu, are you? That’s too much!"
Tao Aijun: "How could that be? As a judge, I will definitely remain fair and impartial. Alright, it’s time to call Lu Xiaobu."
He sneered inside, fair and impartial?
He hadn’t forgotten the incident where Lu Xiaobu made him lose face in front of the national audience last time!
Although Hua Wenyan’s index is lower right now, he has already decided to do everything to support Hua Wenyan!
The call is connecting...
Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s phone ringing, Zhou Jingyuan who was next to Lu Xiaobu suddenly exclaimed: "Not good, I forgot, the judge is Tao Aijun! Xiaobu, you have to remember, don’t curse..."
But before she could finish...
Lu Xiaobu picked up the phone: "Hey, Tao Aijun, you *sshole, f*ck off!"
Not until that moment did Zhou Jingyuan finish her sentence: "...him!"
Everyone on both ends of the phone fell into silence!
