Chapter 17 Financial Freedom



Passing through the electronic door, Xu Nuo arrived at the last room at the end of the corridor. The door was open, and Shao Rui was sitting in a wheelchair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.

"Hey~ I thought you were sleeping! Do you have anything to eat?"

"No! From now on, you'll have to find somewhere to eat on your own!"

Shao Rui did not turn around or look back.

"Ugh, I'm going to be hungry!"

As she spoke, Xu Nuo walked to Shao Rui's side.

"You also enjoy the scenery here?"

"dislike!"

"What is this?" Xu Nuo looked down and saw a box on Shao Rui's lap, the packaging of which was quite exquisite!

"scarf!"

Shao Rui also turned his attention to the box.

"Sent by a night owl?"

Shao Rui looked up, slightly surprised, at Xu Nuo.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You're always holed up here. Besides me and Night Owl, how many other people do you know? Given your personality, you wouldn't buy this kind of thing for yourself online!"

He said I'm afraid of the cold! It was a gift for me!

Shao Rui shifted his gaze back to the window!

"Hehe~~ It's summer now! And you've already sent me a scarf! You're so thoughtful! Let me see, what do you think of the style?"

Xu Nuo took the box and opened it. Inside lay a white scarf, which looked very thick, but Xu Nuo did not recognize the brand.

Well, someone with that night owl personality probably wouldn't buy any designer brands; he probably doesn't even recognize all the designer brands!

"Envious? You'll get a gift too!"

Shao Rui rarely joked with Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo immediately widened her fox-like eyes:

"What gift? Night Owl gave me a gift too?"

Shao Rui looked up and glared at him:

"A gift from Ye Linyan!"

"I knew it! Why did Night Owl suddenly decide to give me a gift? Sigh~ My brother gave me a gift, how come it's with you?"

Xu Nuo still had a smile on her face, but when she heard that it was a gift from Ye Linyan, a dark cloud rose in her heart!

Congratulations on achieving financial freedom!

Shao Rui pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, revealing a set of small white teeth.

"Your good brother gave you a large sum of money and asked me to transfer it to your overseas account!"

"This is the gift?"

A hint of bitterness crept into Xu Nuo's smile.

"I said 'gift,' but your dear brother didn't say it was a gift! He just asked me to tell you about it!"

"See? I told you he'd kick me out! Rui Rui, you lost!"

Shao Rui snorted coldly: "This is just the beginning, why are you in such a hurry to draw conclusions!"

The next moment, Shao Rui turned his face: "However, if you leave here with me, you can draw your conclusion now!"

"You're so persistent, Rui Rui!"

Upon hearing Xu Nuo's reply, Shao Rui rolled his eyes even more!

"I can't compare to you!"

When are you leaving?

"I won't tell you! I'm afraid you'll get carried away and tell on me!" Shao Rui took off his glasses and wiped them with his clothes!

"Yes, that's true!"

Xu Nuo put the scarf back into the box and hummed in agreement.

"The matter you've been asking me to investigate has been clarified with some news from Night Owl yesterday. It connects perfectly with what happened before, so everything is finally clear! I sent it to your email this morning! Remember, it's the email address I gave you!"

Thanks!

"You're welcome!"

"By the way! Transfer that money to your personal account, I don't need it!"

Shao Rui stopped wiping his glasses.

"A huge sum of money!"

Xu Nuo grinned, her fox-like eyes widening. "I don't need it! I have no use for it! If I really die someday, wouldn't that be even more tragic! I'd die before I spent all my money! Haha~~~"

Shao Rui continued wiping his glasses, then smiled knowingly: "Then I won't be polite!"

"Don't be so polite with me! But you can't just take the money for nothing!"

Shao Rui rarely smiled. At least, ever since Xu Nuo met him, he always had a bitter face, as if the whole world owed him money.

But now he was laughing happily, putting on his glasses, and reaching into the pocket on the right side of his wheelchair.

"Rui Rui, you should smile more often. I just realized you look really good when you smile! Hmm! You'd look even better if you took off those awful glasses!"

Xu Nuo stared intently at Shao Rui's face, scrutinizing him, her gaze then falling on the wheelchair:

"Once we get out, stop sitting in this piece of junk. Stop pretending you're crippled!"

"You talk too much!"

"Isn't the mouth for talking? Let me tell you, if you keep sitting like this, and one day you want to change this habit, I'll skin you alive!"

With a smile, Shao Rui took a cell phone out of the pocket on the side of his wheelchair.

"Here, take this. If you need to contact me, use this to call me!"

"Why is this phone so small? Is it not an old-fashioned phone? How am I supposed to call you if you've changed your number?"

Xu Nuo picked up this small-looking phone and fiddled with it, only to find that it really didn't have the functions of a smartphone!

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained! If you need to reach me, just call me using this number! If I'm looking for you, I'll call your usual phone number! That number is in this phone!"

"You'll do as I say and help me, right?"

Xu Nuo put the small phone away, squatted down, and looked at Shao Rui with a smile.

"If you don't say anything, the money isn't free! I'm taking it so I can feel more at ease!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"

"What can you lie to me about? I'm just afraid of you..." Shao Rui swallowed the rest of his sentence, his smile vanished as he turned away, and he said with a hint of dejection:

"I'll burn paper money for you after you die!"

Shao Rui maneuvered his wheelchair and dodged Xu Nuo.

"Then I'm relieved! But it's what you should do, you should thank me!"

"I thank you for the blessings of your ancestors!"

Xu Nuo lost her appetite and lay down on the sofa, hugging a cushion and staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Ruibao'er, is there anything to eat?"

Night Owl emerged from the house, still half asleep, his muscular, bronze-colored upper body bare, his black pajama pants noticeably too short, and his voice sounding lazy and casual.

Shao Rui blushed, lowered his head, and replied "No," before moving his wheelchair to sit in front of the computer.

Xu Nuo noticed Shao Rui's blushing face, then glanced at Ye Mao, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them, before lying down on the sofa and giggling!

"What are you laughing at, you little lunatic!"

The night owl stood on Xu Nuo's head, looking down at him.

"I'm laughing at you!"

Xu Nuo stopped laughing, looked at the long-limbed Night Cat, propped his head up with one hand, and looked him up and down: "What the hell have you been eating these past two years? You've grown so tall!"

"Eating delicacies is none of your business! Get me something to eat! I'm starving!"

The night owl stretched out its long legs and sat in a corner of the sofa.

"I asked someone to bring some food up, but I haven't eaten! Rui Rui, do you want some?"

Xu Nuo picked up her phone and asked.

"Ruibao was busy all night last night, why didn't you eat!"

Night Owl ran her fingers through her hair and leaned back on the sofa.

"The security system has been replaced! Come and take a look!" Shao Rui didn't turn around; the numerous monitors on the wall lit up one after another.

Xu Nuo had no choice but to get up from the sofa, walk behind Shao Rui, and listen to him explain the newly installed security system.

.........................................................................................................

After the three of them had a simple meal, Xu Nuo took Ye Mao on a tour of the security system before calling the heads of the five departments in the cloud to his office for a meeting.

Upon entering Xu Nuo's office, the five people looked at each other, all appearing bewildered.

Yunduan usually opens in the afternoon. They usually promise that if there is anything, you can just give them instructions. The five managers are all veterans. The least senior manager has been with Yunduan for three years. They have never held any formal meetings!

The cloud-based meeting room had long been converted into a warehouse.
