Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Another person in the television industry angrily said:

”Lu Xiaobu, it’s your business that you have money, we’re not stopping you, but if you ruin your show it’s none of our business, just don’t drag us down with you!”

”Don’t take the whole variety TV industry down with you! The market is ruined because of people like you!”

Other industry insiders also voiced their support.

”It’s the same here too! It’s so hard!”

”Yes, when we try to invite guests for new programs, now all the celebrities are looking at the fees of ’The Voice’!”

”A little fluctuation is okay, but now one show is so high, it’s actually sabotage!”

”Why does ’The Voice’ set such high prices? It’s just a common, run-of-the-mill singing competition, not some kind of top-tier program with incredible ratings!”

”Calling for an industry boycott of this kind of behavior!”

”That’s right!”

”We must boycott!”

Another director who has planned talent shows for years decisively said,

”If it were a hugely successful entertainment program with a 1.2% rating, then the current fee might be justified.”

”But the key is you’re not, the industry insiders have analyzed it thoroughly, focusing just on the voice is just a gimmick, the overall show is clichéd, taking a slant approach, the viewership is too niche.”

”A final rating of 0.6% would already be the limit!”

”That’s thanks to you, Lu Xiaobu, and the popularity brought by the couple Chen Wen and Sister Sun!”

...

Hearing this, the insiders were even more outraged.

”Suggest suspending ’The Voice’!”

”I’ve already reported it to the relevant authorities.”

”One person’s power is limited, let’s report it collectively!”

”Yes, even though it might be futile, there are no precedents with the authorities dealing with this situation, but we still have to resist together!”

Countless people in the industry are incensed, their criticism, condemnation, and strong boycott of ’The Voice’ and Lu Xiaobu, knowing all too well that the authorities probably won’t deal with it.

After all, the contracts have been signed, and the program approval passed, which means there should be no issues.

But they still start boycotting collectively.

Because they can’t let go of this anger.

Lu Xiaobu, you have money and act recklessly, but what gives you the right to cut off our financial path?!

Don’t you know that cutting off one’s livelihood is akin to killing one’s parents?

The snowball keeps getting bigger, and the wind of change is becoming more apparent!

And the instigator of this evil wind—Yuan Xu.

At this moment, he is utterly confused.

Didn’t he just vent a few words, fabricate a little, and release some secrets?

Why has it caused such a huge uproar?!

If Station Director Nie finds out he’s the mastermind, he’s likely to be punished.

However, soon, his eyes reveal a ruthless determination—since it has come to this, then so be it!

Once Lu Xiaobu’s show’s ratings come out, as long as they don’t reach the previously set target of 0.8%, he’ll have countless reasons to benefit.

At that time, the position of the top star at Shimen TV Station will be his!

He really has luck on his side!

...

The storm has escalated to this level.

Lu Xiaobu, who was looking forward to the mentors’ confused expressions, has finally been alerted.

Hey, did I eat your family’s rice noodles that you’re stomping all over me like this?!

And boycotting me?!

Highest ratings of 0.6%?

Not even reaching 0.4%?

Are you prepared to kneel and call me daddy?!
