Chapter 778 Losing Patience [2nd Update]
Arriving in Magic City, got off the plane.
At this time, the advantage of a private plane was evident; there was no need to consider what could be carried on and what needed to be checked in.
The bamboo sedan was perfectly brought to Magic City, and then stuffed into an RV.
Perfect!
Proceeding all the way, we arrived at the exhibition site.
Originally, there were no plans to bring the bamboo sedan when getting off the RV, as it was too big.
But, this little girl couldn't do without it!
"Bro!" The little girl learned how to act coquettishly from somewhere.
Or rather, girls naturally know how to do it!
That one call of "bro" made Lu Xiaobu's bones go soft!
"Bring it, bring it!"
Lu Xiaobu grandly waved his hand.
Damn it, he was always the kind of guy who does as he pleases regardless of others' gazes, and now since the little girl wanted it, he decided to bring it.
So, the little girl excitedly climbed onto the bamboo sedan, and then Zhang Meng and Li Jin carried it towards the inside of the exhibition.
The people around were all stunned.
"My god! What kind of way to travel is this?!"
"Awesome! Feels inexplicably cool!"
"Yes! In the midst of this bustling city, a serene green bamboo sedan passing by really catches the eye!"
"Could this be some kind of performance art?"
"Probably not!"
"Looking at the direction they are headed, could it be they are going to attend a bamboo craft exhibition?!"
"Stop kidding! Going to a bamboo craft exhibition in a bamboo sedan?! Have you ever seen any bamboo craft master using a bamboo sedan!?"
"True! I see they're all carrying baskets and such!"
"..."
At this time, the difference between Magic City and Shimen became apparent.
In Shimen, almost everyone who saw Lu Xiaobu, or even this lineup, knew it had to be Lu Xiaobu arriving.
However, here in Magic City, most people had no impression of Lu Xiaobu.
Even if they did, they couldn't react very quickly.
After all, Lu Xiaobu's activities in Magic City were few and far between, plus the fast-paced life of Magic City, hardly anyone would bother to remember a face they haven't seen in years!
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Lu Xiaobu and his group nonchalantly reached the entrance of the exhibition.
Arriving at the doorstep, Lu Xiaobu suddenly found the place was extremely crowded.
Cameras could be seen everywhere.
Most of the people here were locals, but there was also a significant number of foreigners.
Occasionally, one could hear people babbling in either Japanese or Korean.
Looking up, Lu Xiaobu saw a huge poster.
"Japan Bamboo Art Exhibition"
It had beautiful illustrations and five photos of Japanese people.
It looks like these five were the so-called masters of bamboo craft.
Looking at the banner, Lu Xiaobu felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
As mentioned before, bamboo craft was originally transmitted from China to Japan, along with the tea ceremony.
As a result, while these two skills gradually disappeared in the originating country, Japan promoted them extensively.
Now, they even came to hold a bamboo art exhibition in China.
Of course, such things aren't about right or wrong, and ordinary people don't care about this.
But, Lu Xiaobu, being a youth fed up with certain issues, was feeling a bit uneasy.
However, although uncomfortable, Lu Xiaobu wouldn't make a scene about it.
They continued walking further inside.
Ahead was a square; they hadn't gotten to the actual exhibition area yet.
The square was filled with various small stalls.
They mainly sell souvenirs, food, and items that might be used for the exhibition.
Of course, scalpers are not rare either, constantly hawking so-called discount tickets!
When he arrived at the entrance, he was stopped by the staff there.
"Sorry sir, you cannot enter," the staff member said emotionlessly.
"Why?"
Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows; he had never been stopped before.
"There is no why."
The staff member became impatient: "Hurry up and leave, get out!"
"Hey! My temper!" Lu Xiaobu's anger flared up: "Kid, if it weren't for the children here today, I'd make you pick your teeth off the ground!"
You say I can't enter, give me a reason—what did I do wrong, did I violate any rules? If I did, I'll correct it.
But you just say there's no reason?!
And you even want to chase people out?!
"This is not the place for you to lose your temper, get out now! If you don't leave, I'm calling security!"
The staff member, upon hearing Lu Xiaobu's words, became even more rude in tone.
Lu Xiaobu's eyes clouded over; he had completely lost his patience.
And then.
A Maserati pulled up nearby, and a person hurriedly got out and headed this way.
"President Wen."
Seeing him, the staff member hurried over to give a salute, showing utmost respect.
His attitude was utterly different from how he had treated Lu Xiaobu.
The newcomer was none other than—the former number one on the Third Level Rich List and still number one after Lu Xiaobu's promotion—Wen Family Hall!
"Get out! Are you blind?!"
Wen Family Hall, seeing the staff member's salute, immediately cursed: "What the hell are you saluting for!?"
The staff member was baffled.
You could salute incorrectly?!
However, Wen was one of the organizers of the exhibition, so the staff could only listen to whatever he said.
And then.
He saw the so-called big shot suddenly change his expression, and warmly greet the young man he had just had an argument with.
"President Lu, long time no see."
Wen Family Hall said with an ingratiating smile.
"Hmph, I dare not."
Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly.
Hearing Lu Xiaobu's words, Wen Family Hall inwardly shivered.
Lu Xiaobu was truly angered!
Having dealt with Lu Xiaobu and even stood toe to toe with him before, Wen Family Hall knew all too well about Lu Xiaobu's temper and capability!
Didn't he see that Lu Xiaobu was already a mid-tier magnate on the Second Level Rich List, while he was still struggling on the Third Level Rich List?
When Lu Xiaobu got angry, no one could handle him!
So, he immediately turned his rage toward the staff member: "What madness have you caused?! How dare you stop President Lu?!"
"No, Mr. Wen, he was being carried in a palanquin and wanted to use the VIP entrance, I was just doing my job."
The staff member still didn't know who Lu Xiaobu was and spoke with a grievance.
"So what if he uses the VIP entrance?! Even if President Lu tore this place down, he'd have justification!"
Wen Family Hall's voice rose sharply, tactically retreating.
The implication being—Lu Xiaobu, look, I've asked for the reason and truly, it's because you, Lu Xiaobu, didn't follow the rules. I've now given you enough respect, surely there's no need to make more trouble?
Hearing Wen Family Hall's words, Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly: "Enough, stop acting in front of me. My sister is here today, and I'm really not in the mood to lose my temper. Ask for the details and deal with it yourself!"
After saying this, Lu Xiaobu walked inside.
Only after Lu Xiaobu had left did Wen Family Hall begin to inquire about what had happened!
When he learned the truth, he broke out in a cold sweat!
