"Boss, what should we do?!" Su Luoxue didn’t have anything else to say.
In terms of her position, she was the secretary, different from Liang Lan’s role. As a secretary, it was enough to follow orders without offering any advice!
On a personal level, she had always felt sorry for Lu Xiaobu before; now that he wanted to stir things up, let him go ahead and stir them up!
"Simple, notify them, I want to set a ranking list for all the literati of the Heavenly Dynasty! If I don’t acknowledge them, they’re not considered literati!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly and blurted out!
"Damn!"
The onlookers at the scene instantly swore!
They were all dumbfounded!
What does this an?! Setting rules for the word literati?!
Nobody has done this throughout the ages, right?
After all, calling oneself a literati can technically be claid by anyone.
For example, if you wrote a crappy poem, would it be excessive to call yourself a literati?!
Maybe so people wouldn’t think much of it, but they wouldn’t argue with you over it.
But now, what?!
Lu Xiaobu actually said those not acknowledged by him aren’t considered literati?!
What kind of business is this?!
Not to ntion, who would care about you?!
Whether we are literati, what does it have to do with you?! Do we need your acknowledgnt?!
So, after being shocked by Lu Xiaobu’s audacious thoughts, everyone showed disdain!
Of course, they wouldn’t show this expression, just secretly scoffing. They wouldn’t dare to provoke Lu Xiaobu, it’s impossible!
Even those two old n and Ding Jian were shocked!
Has Lu Xiaobu lost his mind?!
This kind of thing could never work, right?!
By this ti, Su Luoxue had already spread the news.
Efficiency! This is the efficiency of the Lu Group!
As Lu Xiaobu’s secretary, she obviously had to be efficient; any changes afterward would be dealt with later.
After all, once the boss speaks, there’s no taking it back!
So, instantly, the whole Heavenly Dynasty exploded!
"Oh my! Has Lu Xiaobu gone mad?!"
"Setting a ranking for literati?! And if he doesn’t acknowledge them, they’re not considered literati?! What gives him the right?!"
"Exactly, the Literature Association hasn’t said anything yet! What is he doing here pretending to be a big shot?!"
"Really has nothing better to do! Setting a ranking requires a competition, right? Who would participate?! Only those who have lost their minds would go!"
"..."
The public reaction was disbelief!
It’s impossible to believe!
Do you just say change the rules, and they change?!
You say soone’s not a literati, and they’re not?!
Who would believe that!
As for those calling themselves literati, especially those hostile toward Lu Xiaobu, their reaction was even stronger!
"Nonsense?! I acknowledge Lu Xiaobu in business, but do you think writing a few articles can change the entire literary scene?! Do you think not being acknowledged by you ans we’re not literati?! You should clarify whether you’re a literati yourself! We haven’t even acknowledged you yet!"
"Exactly! A few great literary figures in the country haven’t said anything! They wouldn’t dare say such things, and yet Lu Xiaobu does?! Don’t use your business tricks here! We literati are unwavering and won’t fall for your nonsense!"
"Young fool, this arrogance is boundless! I disdain to associate with him!"
"..."
Not only them, but even the Literature Association wasn’t calm!
Lu Xiaobu, what madness are you on?!
It was just a slight targeting of your disciple!
No one laid a finger on you?!
Was it worth it?! Setting a ranking?!
Did you think we don’t exist?!
This is completely ignoring us!
Excessive! Too excessive!
So, the Literature Association directly issued an official statent!
"The Literature Association does not acknowledge the so-called ranking! Please also do not be blinded!"
This is blatant exclusion of Lu Xiaobu!
At school.
Lu Xiaobu looked at each comnt, especially the final statent, and instantly sneered:
"Literati?! Truly lives up to the na! As soon as I say sothing, all this talk of dignity, qualification, wisdom cos out! I think they’re just bored with nothing to do!"
Two old n and Ding Jian heard this, their faces turning green and white with anger but dared not speak!
And at this mont.
"Teacher, you’re right, I once joined a literary club but later quit! As far as I know, the people inside stopped studying literature long ago, they’re worse than businessn!"
"Every day they just hope for so businessman to invite them to write sothing, hold a eting, attend a ribbon cutting! Utterly boring!"
Zhang Shilin, who usually doesn’t care about worldly affairs, suddenly stood up and spoke indignantly: "A ss, unworthy of being called literati!"
Zhang Shilin had indeed joined for a while to shield Lu Xiaobu but soon exited!
Besides, given her outspoken nature, she must have said quite a few excessive things.
The literary world targeted her, probably not just due to her being Lu Xiaobu’s disciple, but also due to her own actions!
Of course, all this was blad on Lu Xiaobu by the literary world; they believed if it weren’t for his disciple’s title, Zhang Shilin wouldn’t dare to speak up!
Listening to Zhang Shilin, even shaless Ding Jian remained calm, but two old n felt embarrassed!
They weren’t convinced by Lu Xiaobu’s words, but Zhang Shilin’s truth hit them hard!
After all, what Zhang Shilin said was true!
"It’s not your place to set rankings! Certainly, no one will go!" Ding Jian suddenly glared venomously at Lu Xiaobu.
He thought Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t dare to act against him now!
After all, Lu Xiaobu was already the common enemy of the literary world; if he acted now, wouldn’t he fear everyone joining together to deal with him?!
However, reality proved he was overthinking!
Zhang ng suddenly acted, pinning Ding Jian to the table, instantly pulling out a dagger from behind!
"Chop!"
The dagger pierced right through Ding Jian’s hand, pinning it firmly to the table!
Blood splattered on the two old n’s faces, almost frightening them to their knees!
Too ruthless! Too ruthless!
Lu Xiaobu indeed had no qualms!
"Ah!"
Ding Jian only let out one cry before fainting from pain!
"Repeated provocation, no lesson learned!" Zhang ng coldly remarked.
His killing aura made the two old n tremble with fear!
"No one?" Lu Xiaobu still paid no attention to this incident, continuing with the ranking topic.
"Luo Xue, keep releasing the news: First place on the rankings gets ten million! Second place, one million! Third place, one hundred thousand!"
Lu Xiaobu spoke plainly.
As soon as he spoke, the two old n, who were trembling with fear, swallowed hard!
Gosh! Such a grand gesture!
Both of them were tempted, believing it wouldn’t be long before the literary world would echo with a familiar voice — "Oh wow! That’s enticing!"
