Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Slap in the Face? No, This is Kicking the Face [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]As the attention on Xu Bin and his son’s news reached a climax, everyone’s hearts melted.
"Good kid, good kid, you’ve moved me to tears."
"I’m drinking cola right now. Just a moment ago, it felt refreshingly cool, but now it makes me feel warmth in my heart. So comfortable!"
"No, I must go buy a bottle... no, a case of cola. Young Master Bu saved such a good child, I’ll drink his beverage with peace of mind."
"That’s right, that’s right, I’m also going to buy some. From now on, I won’t drink any other beverage, cola is my only choice!"
"..."
So, cola distributors across the country experienced an explosion in sales!
Countless men and women, wiping their tears, went into supermarkets to buy cola.
Those who could, bought by the case, and those who could not still bought three to five bottles!
Lu Family.
Lu Hongbin’s phone was blown up with calls.
This is what he said at first.
"Hello? What? You want a thousand cases of cola? Alright, alright, I’ll arrange for a delivery right away."
"What, you want two thousand cases? Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."
...
A minute later, he was saying this.
"A thousand cases? No more, no more, we can’t produce that much. What? Five hundred cases? We don’t have that either, at most a hundred cases to tide you over!"
...
Five minutes later, he changed his tune again.
"All gone, all gone, really all gone. Not a single bottle left! What? You want to pay extra? It’s not about the money, we truly have none left!"
"You want to pay a deposit? No need, no need, we have too many deposits already, and we don’t even know when we’ll be able to produce the goods."
...
Lu Wenhao was on the side, smiling wryly: "Brother, stop talking, they’ve already transferred the money."
"What kind of people are these? Insisting on giving money? We’ve said no already. Really!"
That was the first time in his life Lu Hongbin ever got mad because people were giving him money.
What the hell is this!
Lu’s father clutched his chest and asked, "How much did we take in?"
Wenhao’s mouth twitched: "Just the deposits alone are over eight million now, and that’s just the deposits!"
Lu’s father took a few breaths to recover: "You scared me to death. I’ve been in business my whole life and never seen such madness. Good deeds really do bring good fortune!"
Lu Hongbin hung up another call and said helplessly: "I feel like my heart is getting a workout. Just a moment ago we were saying Xiaobu wouldn’t make it onto the Newcomer Rich List, but now the money is pouring in!"
Wenhao looked up at the live broadcast of the "Newcomer Rich List," a smile playing on his lips: "What were they saying just now?"
...
Liu Family.
Liu Changlong kicked over a table: "What the fuck, this works too? Damn it, Hua Wenyan, you idiot, getting easily crushed by Xiaobu! Shit! Shit! Shit!"
...
Zhang Family.
"Um..." Zhang Benhu was silent.
"Um..." Zhang Wenliang was silent.
Zhang Benhu: "A god?"
Zhang Wenliang: "Yes! A god!"
Zhang Benhu: "Wenliang, kowtow to your uncle, it might keep you safe!"
Zhang Wenliang, without a second word, knocked his head on the ground three times: "Uncle, your big nephew is kowtowing to you here! You’ve got to make sure I stay safe!"
...
On Weibo.
"Ha ha ha, awesome! Screw those bastards trying to outdo Young Master Bu!"
"Young Master Bu is the man! Happy to see such a conscientious person rise to the top!"
"I’m off to buy two more bottles of cola to help widen the gap for Young Master!"
"I’ll join you, I’ll join you!"
"Holy shit, where are you from that you still have cola? I’ll pay double the price, how about getting me a bottle?"
"..."
At the Newcomer Rich List recording venue.
Shi Jinhao and Tao Aijun looked utterly confused as they watched the rapidly rising index.
Thirteen million and five hundred thousand...
Fourteen million...
Fourteen million and five hundred thousand...
Fifteen million...
The amount kept skyrocketing!
The corners of their mouths twitched, feeling as if their hearts could stop at any moment, and their faces burned painfully!
Damn it!
They had just talked about thwarting Xiaobu, and now he was blatantly using his strength to... no, this was a fierce kick in their faces!
Ten percent?
It’s almost freaking twenty percent now!
Their faces were getting kicked swollen!
...
By this time, Xiaobu had already learned about the incident at Ye Zuixing Bar and had a video call with Xu Bin and his son.
"Benefactor! Xiaohu, kneel down quickly." As soon as Xu Bin saw Xiaobu’s face, he immediately pulled Xiaohu to kneel down: "Benefactor, I’m sorry, I should have come to thank you first thing, I was late. The great kindness and debt you’ve done for us, I remember it all, and I will pay back every penny you spent for us."
"Get up quickly." Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said, "I’m not counting on you to repay me, get up now!"
"No, Young Master Bu, we’ll definitely pay back, we really will," Xu Bin insisted forcefully.
"Alright, alright, it’s up to you," Xiaobu waved his hand and said, "Sister Lan, you deal with it. Today, didn’t they just run an ad for us? Make sure to pay them for the advertisement."
"Yes, Young Master," Liang Lan smiled.
She had already clearly understood Young Master Bu’s intention!
Xiaobu had already ended the video call.
"Now, they may come in, right? Young Master Bu has met with them," Liang Lan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Xu Bin nodded with embarrassment: "Thank you, could you please let us know how we should repay the debt?"
"Repay the debt? You have already repaid it," Liang Lan pretended to be surprised.
"Ah?" Xu Bin looked completely baffled.
At that moment, Liang Lan took out a card and continued to smile: "There’s two hundred thousand in this card, that’s the remuneration left after fully repaying your debt."
She was fully aware of the principle of ’bearing a jewel that invites theft,’ hence two hundred thousand was just the right amount.
"No! No! No! No, that’s not right, I clearly owe Young Master Bu money, how can you be giving me money instead?"
Xu Bin was even more bewildered and hurriedly refused the money.
He vividly remembered Young Master Bu not only covering their medical expenses but also scrapping a luxury sports car, as well as compensating those kind-hearted drivers!
He had calculated these expenses in the past two days; it would amount to at least four or five million.
He had been preparing to move mountains like Yu Gong in order to repay the debt!
But now, not only did he no longer need to repay, but he was also receiving money—how could this be possible?
"It’s true, just take it! The advertisement you just did for us has already repaid your debt. The direct profit that advertisement brought Young Master Bu is already twenty million, not to mention the subsequent indirect profits!" Liang Lan smiled: "This is Young Master Bu’s wish, you see."
"No, no, no, there must be some mistake," Xu Bin still couldn’t believe it. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"If you don’t believe it, you can ask these reporters," Liang Lan suggested, pointing at the reporters.
The reporters also nodded in agreement.
They thought to themselves that Young Master Bu’s kindness was undeniable.
If it were any other businessman, they would have seized the advantage, but Young Master Bu was giving money instead.
That’s the difference!
So, they all persuaded him.
"That’s right, just take it."
"Take it, indeed, you’ve already finished repaying."
"Moreover, if you don’t accept it, Young Master Bu might be unhappy, you know."
"..."
After half a day of refusing, persuading, and even ’threatening’ with Young Master Bu, Xu Bin finally accepted the money.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Tears could no longer be held back in Xu Bin’s eyes as he continuously thanked, and solemnly said to Xu Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, remember, your life was given by Young Master Bu, he is our benefactor for a lifetime!"
"Yes! I remember! I will remember for my whole life!" Xiaohu nodded vigorously.
While everyone was overjoyed on this side, the expression of the extremely arrogant Hua Wenyan wasn’t looking so good!
