    After the silence comes the eruption.

    So, after hearing Lu Xiaobu’s relentless cursing, after three seconds of silence...

    It exploded!

    TV station.

    Tao Aijun’s face turned green with anger, his hands under the table almost crushed the sofa armrest!

    This Lu Xiaobu, he cursed him again!

    This was the second time!

    And in front of the national audience too!

    Too much!

    Way too much!

    Shi Jinhao frowned, "It seems Lu Xiaobu has a really bad temper!"

    Tao Aijun, gritting his teeth, said, "You see! This is the real face of Lu Xiaobu, I suggest disqualifying such a person! This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be on the Newcomer Rich List!"

    Shi Jinhao rarely nodded, "Character is indeed a consideration, if the final gap remains within 10%, I will vote for Hua Wenyan."

    ...

    On Weibo.

    "Holy! He cursed again, he did it again! This is the second time, right?"

    "Does Lu Xiaobu not want to continue in the industry? Cursing a judge during the competition?"

    "You need to know the current index difference isn’t big! Just 500,000 apart, Tao Aijun could completely eliminate Lu Xiaobu!"

    "It’s over, it’s over. Lu Xiaobu is really ruining everything, throwing away such a great opportunity."

    "You all look, Shi Jinhao even spoke up, Lu Xiaobu is really doomed this time!"

    "..."

    Lu Family.

    Lu’s father, with a wry smile: "Uh... Xiaobu really does have that temper."

    Lu Hongbin sighed, "Never mind, if he doesn’t make it onto the Newcomer Rich List then so be it!"

    Lu Wenhuo shook his head bitterly, "I guess our Lu family is going to be scolded again."

    ...

    Drunk Love Bar.

    Liang Lan bitterly smiled, "My Young Master! Ruining things isn’t supposed to be done this way! Throwing away such a good opportunity, if people know I, Tian Jilan, work for you, I guess I’ll be laughed to death!"

    ...

    Liu Family.

    Liu Changlong, reflecting on his actions, burst into laughter, thrilled, "Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, you really are an idiot, cutting off your own retreat! This really makes me happy!"

    "Although you snatched away my energy drink project, now seeing you fail to make it to the Newcomer Rich List, I feel somewhat avenged, hahaha!"

    ...

    Zhang Family.

    Zhang Benhu’s mouth twitched, "This Young Master Bu, really does things..."

    Zhang Wenliang helplessly said, "Maybe Young Master Bu simply looks down on those things!"

    Zhang Benhu: "Get lost, I’m called Young Master, are you also called Young Master?"

    ...

    Shimen First Middle School.

    "Lu! Xiaobu!" Zhou Jingyuan burst out angrily, "Tao Aijun is the judge for this selection! Can’t you speak properly? If he eliminates you, then what?"

    Wu Qianmin also said frustratedly, "You really... I’m so angry I don’t even know what to say! Both judges are not supporting you now, you’re totally doomed! Happy now?"

    Lu Xiaobu shrugged, "Doesn’t matter. Calling such a dumbass and daring to phone me? He was asking for it! I just fulfilled his wish!"

    Beside him, Hua Wenyan almost laughed till he cried, "Hahahaha! No wonder they call you a prodigal son, you really are one! To reject such things, looks like my coming here to monitor you was completely unnecessary! Hahahaha!"

    ...

    Now, anyone who was paying attention to the Newcomer Rich List had lost hope for Lu Xiaobu, who dug his own grave.

    The gap was originally not big, and Lu Xiaobu cursed the judges in front of a national audience, that’s really courting death!

    Lu Xiaobu’s name as a prodigal was thoroughly confirmed!

    Unless Lu Xiaobu can suddenly turn the tables and widen the gap to more than ten percent, he’s definitely lost!

    And this ten percent in the index means Lu Xiaobu needs to earn at least ten million more in this short period!

    That’s just impossible!

    After people had their answers, they stopped paying attention to the "Newcomer Rich List" and went to look at other news instead.

    ...

    And at this time, a piece of news caught everyone’s attention.

    "The Lucky Little Angel Has Awakened"

    The article talks about the child whom Lu Xiaobu saved last time, who has finally woken up.

    There is also a video in the news, showing the adorable child waking up, as well as the heart-wrenchingly joyful scene of the child’s father—Xu Bin.

    Of course, they did not forget the great benefactor who saved their family—Lu Xiaobu.

    Soon, this heartwarming action was widely shared, commented, and liked by everyone.

    It quickly surpassed the "Newcomer Rich List" in popularity.

    Netizens also commented.

    "Seeing the child’s smile really warms my heart! If it weren’t for Lu Xiaobu initially, today’s comedy could have turned into a tragedy!"

    "So much parental love! I can’t imagine what today’s weather would be like if Lu Xiaobu hadn’t been there at the beginning."

    "Although Lu Xiaobu is a profligate son, his kindness is beyond words."

    "Yes, in this regard, no one is allowed to doubt!"

    "..."

    In the hospital.

    Amidst the emotional voices of doctors and reporters...

    Xu Bin squatted in front of the hospital bed and said seriously to his son, "Xiaohu, your life was saved by a big brother. Daddy wants us to thank this big brother together, will you come?"

    Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaohu nodded vigorously, "Yes, I want to go! I want to thank the big brother!"

    "Good son."

    Xu Bin smiled with relief, then picked up Xu Xiaohu and headed straight to the Night Drunken Bar.

    He didn’t know where Young Master Bu lived, nor did he know his current whereabouts.

    But he always remembered the Night Drunken Bar mentioned by Young Master Bu on the highway.

    When the reporters saw there was a follow-up to the news, they immediately followed.

    Such heartwarming and positive energy news naturally faced no obstacles, with every TV station giving it the green light.

    In no time, the viewership of this news even surpassed the nationally followed "Newcomer Rich List."

    "Xiaohu, this is the place. Big brother hasn’t arrived yet, shall we wait here, okay?"

    Xu Bin held his son at the entrance of the yet-to-open Night Drunken Bar.

    "Yes! Daddy, I want to get down."

    Xu Xiaohu stretched out his little hand to wipe the sweat from Xu Bin’s face, asking to get down.

    Seeing this scene. Sёar?h the Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "He’s such a good child! He even knows his father is tired and asks to get down by himself."

    "Prayers and thanks to heavens, thank you Lu Xiaobu, for saving such a good child."

    "Not for anything else, just for this, I say—long live Lu Xiaobu!"

    "..."

    Liang Lan was inside the bar planning the actions Young Master would take after not making it to the Newcomer Rich List, when she heard the noisy chattering at the door.

    After checking online, she quickly went out to open the bar’s doors: "Come in and sit, Young Master Bu has not returned yet."

    "No, we’ll just wait here," Xu Bin replied with a shy smile. "Young Master Bu has been a great benefactor to us, providing so much kindness, we should not overstep!"

    "Ah, it’s just sitting, won’t the kid sit either? The child has just recovered."

    Liang Lan, looking at Xiaohu’s somewhat frail face, became anxious.

    "Big sister, it’s okay, I’m not tired. I’ll just wait here for big brother," Xu Xiaohu said with a smile.

    That smile was so pure, so heartwarming.

    "Alright, Xu Bin, give the child something to drink first. Don’t worry, this cola costs money."

    Liang Lan, feeling helpless, quickly took out two bottles of cola and handed them over.

    Then she hurriedly called Young Master Bu.

    Upon hearing Liang Lan’s words and looking at the child, Xu Bin reluctantly did not refuse.

    But he opened only one bottle and handed it to Xiaohu.

    Xiaohu took the cola, took a small sip, and his big innocent eyes instantly lit up with surprise and desire: "So tasty!"

    Then he handed the cola to Xu Bin: "Daddy, you drink too, it’s really good."

    At this moment, this extremely heartwarming and beautifully captured scene became the best advertisement, broadcast across the country through the camera!

    Cola, once again, became a sensation!

    Sales exploded!

    Along with it, the indices of the Newcomer Wealth List began to skyrocket rapidly!
