Chapter 1355 - 1355: Wang Lubo's Schemes

After lunch, Xiao Feng dragged a chair over and sat in the yard.

A pot of tea, a cellphone—this laid-back vibe felt just like before he went to Jiuyou Town.

Of course, being able to laze around like this was something he'd earned through his own effort.

If he hadn't raised the bar for people wanting to join him earlier, right now he'd probably be swarmed by who knows how many people.

On one side they have to pay; on the other side they don't have to pay and can even get benefits.

As long as you're not stupid, you know which side to choose.

However, this leisure time didn't last long.

The familiar black business van stopped outside the gate, and Wang Lubo "squeezed" himself out of the door.

As soon as he saw Xiao Feng, he ran straight over. "Feng Bro, Feng Bro!"

"Cut it out." Xiao Feng said with a face full of disgust. "Spit it out, what happened this time?"

"Uh… how'd you know something happened?"

"Every time you talk to me in that tone, it's never anything good."

Wang Lubo took that as praise and said excitedly, "Feng Bro, you really get me!"

"Don't make it gross. Hurry up and say what's going on."

"This time it's about me and Xiuxiu."

"Oh?" Xiao Feng perked up. "You two are getting married?"

Wang Lubo shook his head. "No. If we were getting married, that'd be great.

Last time I shot a few commercials with Xiuxiu, right? You could basically say everyone who watched them had nothing bad to say.

Who knew Chen Feihu would jump out halfway—this bastard watched them and immediately said I'll lead his sister astray, then told Xiuxiu to draw a clear line from me."

"And then?"

"Then of course Xiuxiu didn't agree. So that bastard Chen Feihu came up with another crappy idea—he wants to set Xiuxiu up on a blind date.

Feng Bro, you tell me, is that something a human being would do?"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "So you came to me because you want me to help you take Chen Feihu out?"

"Uh…" Wang Lubo scratched his head and grinned. "That's a bit much. No matter how inhuman Chen Feihu is, he's still Xiuxiu's blood brother.

Xiuxiu told me that Feihu set her up with a blind date, the guy's coming tonight, and the venue is that star-rated hotel of yours.

What I'm thinking is, Feng Bro, just work with me a bit when the time comes, make that guy give up and leave, that's all."

Xiao Feng opened his mouth. He really wanted to say, "With Chen Xiuxiu's tonnage, anyone who sees her would 'give up and leave,' no help needed."

But then he thought it over and felt that might not be the case.

Families like that don't actually take marriage that seriously.

At most it's just a formal arrangement—after the wedding they can each do their own thing, as long as it looks good on the surface.

What they really care about is the利益 behind it.

"Alright, tell me, how am I supposed to cooperate with you?"

"Heh heh heh, I knew Feng Bro's the most loyal." Wang Lubo flattered him first, then said:

"Actually it's simple. Just show up as the hotel's Boss, make the whole scene look impressive, that's it.

And if it comes down to a fight, it'd be great if you can help, but don't let anyone see it's you."

"You've got pretty high expectations."

Wang Lubo laughed. "If the expectations were low, it wouldn't be worth troubling you, Feng Bro."

"Fine, just come find me when the time comes." Xiao Feng agreed readily.

Wang Lubo froze, then said awkwardly, "Feng Bro, I've drafted a rough plan. If you've got time, could you help your bro go over it?"

"..." Xiao Feng.

He really wanted to say he had no time, but seeing the eager look in Wang Lubo's eyes, and thinking how hard it was for Bozai to find someone suitable, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

But reality proved that soft-heartedness comes with a price…

Wang Lubo's plan could be summed up in three points.

First, dirty!

Second, dirty!

Third, still fucking dirty!

Like, hiding a remote-controlled "bomb" in the toilet beforehand.

Of course this kind of bomb isn't the building-blowing terrorist kind.

The power's not huge, about the same as regular firecrackers, like double-bangers or big salutes.

"Feng Bro, when he goes into the bathroom, I just press the button… boom!" Wang Lubo said with a wicked grin:

"As long as he's a normal person who cares about his dignity, I don't believe he'll stay after that!"

Based on Wang Lubo's description, Xiao Feng tried to visualize the scene.

Tsk tsk, can't bear to look, seriously can't bear to look…

And that was only the beginning.

After[Toilet Bomb Setup]came the follow-ups:[Saw the Chair Legs]and[Smear Glue on the Turning Table]—a whole series of tricks.

After Xiao Feng listened to the whole thing, he felt that whether Chen Xiuxiu's blind date ended up embarrassed or not was one thing, but his hotel's reputation getting torpedoed was basically guaranteed.

"Bozai, do you think it's easy for your bro to make money?"

"Feng Bro, what are you saying, making money is never easy."

"Then with you plotting like this to shut my hotel down, what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Wang Lubo's eyes went wide, and he hurried to explain, "Feng Bro, don't get me wrong, I'd never mean that."

"Maybe you don't think that way subjectively, but if we really do it your way, the result will be exactly what I just said."

"Then… then we'd better forget it." Wang Lubo said, a bit disappointed.

After all, those were schemes he'd racked his brains to come up with; he'd killed off a lot of brain cells, and now they were all useless. That's just a waste of feelings.

Seeing Wang Lubo's expression, Xiao Feng couldn't help sighing. For some reason he felt like he was taking care of a mentally handicapped brother.

"Bozai, it's not that your tricks are 'bad,' it's that they're not really suitable to use in a relationship context." Xiao Feng said earnestly:

"Think about it. If we really do what you said, sure, the other guy will end up making a fool of himself, but in Chen Xiuxiu's eyes, wouldn't you turn into some petty, despicable villain?"

Wang Lubo sucked in a sharp breath on the spot, looking like he'd suddenly seen the light.

Xiao Feng went on, "The key point is how Chen Xiuxiu feels about you. As long as your relationship is solid, it doesn't matter how strong the opponent is.

And as for Chen Feihu, what's the real reason he looks down on you?

Is it really just because of those few commercials?"

Ahem—although that's exactly what Xiao Feng thought, he obviously couldn't say it like that.

"What do you think the reason is, Feng Bro?" Wang Lubo asked humbly.

Xiao Feng smiled lightly. "At the end of the day, it's because you're not strong enough.

Sure, your business in Jiangcheng right now isn't small.

But compared to the Chen Family, it doesn't really count for much, does it?

Even if your family's rich, that money still belongs to your family. In other people's eyes, you're still that rich kid who only knows how to rely on home.

And even those who aren't as well-off as you are, even if they don't say it out loud, in their hearts they'll inevitably think:

'If I had the same background as him, I'd be doing ten thousand times better than he is right now!'"

After listening, Wang Lubo slowly nodded and exhaled deeply. "Only you would say these hard truths to me, Feng Bro."

"So you know what you need to do now?" Xiao Feng asked.

Wang Lubo nodded hard. "I know. If Chen Feihu looks down on me, then I'll show him—and the whole Chen Family—that I, Wang Lubo, can make it big without relying on my family!

Just watch, Feng Bro. Sooner or later, I'll make the entire Chen Family have to look up at me. At the very least, I'll make them drop their jaws when it comes to money!"

Xiao Feng nodded with a smile. The way he was bragging was actually kind of entertaining.

Of course, what he didn't know was that these words of Wang Lubo's would actually come true in the not-so-distant future…
