Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 84: You Can Be Happy After Losing Your Job, Too
-------
"I’m going to be arrogant today. So what?"
Xu Yun was already planning to leave the company, so what did he have to care about?
He didn’t care about anything anymore!
He was going to do whatever the hell he wanted.
He sneered, "And here I thought you’d done something impressive. All you did was sneak a couple of photos of me and Sister Su to tattle to your master, right?
So what?
You think that scares me?"
Xu Yun looked at Su Mu beside him, cupped her face, and kissed her right then and there!
Su Mu: "..."
Gu Heng: "..."
Manager Li: "..."
The onlookers outside were even more incredulous.
Xu Yun actually kissed Manager Su right in front of President Gu!
’What is happening to the world?’
’What on earth is going on!’
’This is insane!’
No wonder they always felt that Xu Yun and Su Mu were close.
They never expected the two to have secretly gotten together.
The female colleagues found it unbelievable, while the male colleagues were inwardly exclaiming ’Hot damn!’ and feeling a little envious of Xu Yun.
He had actually managed to snag the company’s most beautiful female executive, cuckolding the boss in the process.
After kissing Su Mu, Xu Yun turned his head and looked provocatively at Manager Li.
He said, "I just kissed her right in front of you. What do you think President Gu can do to me? I’m doing this just to piss you off."
"President Gu!"
Manager Li’s mouth twitched. He said, "He actually dared to... with Manager Su right in front of you...
"This is complete disrespect! He’s blatantly cuckolding you!"
"You! Shut your mouth!"
Hearing this, Gu Heng roared, "Who’s been cuckolded? Who has been cuckolded? You’re the one who’s been cuckolded! Your whole family are cuckolds!"
"But, President Gu, Xu Yun and Manager Su were just..."
"Su Mu is my cousin!"
Gu Heng took a deep breath, fuming. "Do you have any idea what you’re saying?!"
"Huh?!" Manager Li was dumbfounded.
The gossiping crowd outside was also dumbfounded again. They never expected such a plot twist.
Oh my god~
Su Mu wasn’t the boss’s mistress, but his cousin!
So that means Xu Yun didn’t cuckold the boss at all. Instead, the boss might become Xu Yun’s brother-in-law?
In the next moment, the crowd looked at Manager Li with a hint of pity.
"Alright, that’s enough of this!"
Gu Heng looked at Xu Yun and said, "I was going to let you leave with some dignity and handle this quietly, but you’re the one who didn’t want it.
"Fine. I’m officially notifying you: you’re fired. Go to HR and complete the paperwork today. You don’t need to come in starting tomorrow."
"Fine by me."
Xu Yun smiled. "First, give me my severance pay, and my overtime pay for all these years."
"There is none."
Gu Heng refused. "Don’t even think about it."
"Then I’ll see you in court."
Xu Yun retorted, "Not only that, I’ll also call the tax bureau and tell them how our company ’legally’ avoids taxes.
"I’ll also call your wife and tell her that you weren’t on a business trip recently. You were traveling abroad with another woman."
"Fine. You’re ruthless."
Hearing this, Gu Heng glanced at Su Mu, then said to Xu Yun through gritted teeth, "I’ll give you the money. Now can you pack your things and go?"
"Sure." After speaking, Xu Yun turned and coolly walked out of his office.

Bank Card Balance: 16,500,000.
The surrounding crowd dispersed at once.
Everyone looked at Xu Yun with some pity, but no one dared to approach and speak to him, afraid of incurring the boss’s wrath.
Arriving at his desk, Xu Yun found he didn’t really have anything to pack.
He formatted his computer, deleting all the projects he was working on.
However, he did keep the Pechoin event files on his phone.
Then he looked at a photo of himself and his mom on his desk and picked it up.
He was ready to go.
Xiaopang, who had some conscience, said to him, "Brother Xu, take care."
"You make it sound like I’m dead."
Xu Yun chuckled. "You should jump ship when you get the chance. With Dog Li around, you’ll never get ahead."
"Yeah, I know."
Xu Yun walked out of the company with the photo in hand. Su Mu came up to him, also holding a box of her things, and said with a smile, "Let’s go. We’ll go together."
"You’re not working?"
"Not anymore."
Su Mu shot him a glare. "You kissed me in front of all those people. You expect me to stay here and be the subject of gossip?"
"Hahaha... My bad."
And so, under the gazes of the crowd and the furious glares of Gu Heng and Manager Li, the two of them left the company together.
Gu Heng came out and warned, "No one is to speak a word of what happened today. If I find out anyone has, they can pack their bags and get out!"
With that, he slammed the office door shut.
Manager Li’s heart had just been pounding in his chest. He thought he was helping the boss catch an affair, but he almost got himself into deep trouble.
Fortunately, Xu Yun was arrogant enough to successfully piss off the boss, getting them both kicked out.
Little did he know, the boss, who had pent-up anger with nowhere to vent it, was about to make an example of him.
Manager Li had just stepped out of the office when he was called back. "Manager Li, which foot did you step out with first?"
"Uh."
Manager Li didn’t know why the boss was suddenly asking this. He thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "The right foot, I think."
"You’re fired."
Manager Li: "Huh?!"
"When leaving my office, you may only step out with your left foot first."
Gu Heng said with a deadpan expression, "Go straight to HR and handle the paperwork."
"But, President Gu, I..."
Manager Li never would have thought he’d be fired for such a reason.
He grew frantic and tried to say more, but Gu Heng just shot him a look and cursed, "Get out! You’re no good, either!"
"..." Manager Li.
’What on earth did I do wrong!’
In an instant, following Xu Yun, Manager Li was also packing his bags and getting the boot.
...
Su Mu knew Xu Yun’s background, so she wasn’t worried that he’d be heartbroken or unable to survive after being fired.
And she herself didn’t care about having a job either; she wasn’t short on money.
So, both of them were actually in pretty good moods and didn’t pay much mind to the stares of others.
Arriving at the parking garage together, Su Mu was about to open her car door when Xu Yun asked, "Sister Su, I remember you saying you really, really liked that white Bentley?"
"I do. I love it."
"Well, want to go for a ride in it?"
Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "You think it’s your car? That you can just go for a ride whenever you want?"
"That’s not necessarily true." Xu Yun pulled a car key from his pocket and pressed a button.
The Bentley’s lights flashed instantly.
"..." Su Mu looked at Xu Yun in astonishment.
Xu Yun smiled. "Come on, I’ll give you a ride today. No other woman has sat in my passenger seat this time. You won’t mind, will you?"
"I was just kidding with you then."
Su Mu asked, "What about my car?"
"Leave it here. You can come back for it tomorrow."
"Alright."
Su Mu got into the Bentley with Xu Yun, and they drove out of the garage, heading for Jinyuan.
"When did you buy this car?"
"Yesterday."
"Bought it and took delivery on the same day? Impossible."
Su Mu knew the delivery times for these kinds of cars. It was impossible to get one in less than ten days to half a month.
"It’s possible."
Xu Yun replied, "You just have to give the owner an offer he can’t refuse."
"Xu Yun, your family is even richer than I imagined."
Su Mu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "A house worth over six million, and you just bought it outright in full.
"And now this car... You just bought a sports car for over a million, crashed it just like that, and didn’t even seem to mind.
"Now, in the blink of an eye, you’ve bought a multi-million Bentley.
"How long has it been? You’ve already spent nearly ten million. Even people worth over a hundred million wouldn’t dare to spend money like you."
"Sister Su, do you want to hear the truth?"
"What do you mean?"
"My family isn’t actually that rich. My mom is just an ordinary woman. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have broken up with my ex-girlfriend over a house."
Xu Yun smiled. "It’s just that I’ve been lucky recently. I started making money on another project with a very high rate of return, and now the money is just snowballing."
"You’re playing the financial markets?" Su Mu exclaimed in surprise, having thought of something.
Because that’s the only way money can come in so fast!
"You could put it that way." Since Su Mu had already come up with a plausible excuse for him, he didn’t have to think of one and just went along with it.
Hearing this, Su Mu was surprised she had guessed correctly.
She kindly reminded him, "Xu Yun, you should be careful with finance. The money comes fast, but it can go just as fast. The market changes in an instant every day.
"You could be a multi-millionaire today and a pauper tomorrow."
"I know."
Xu Yun joked, "Sister Su, if I really do go broke one day, will you take me in?"
"I’ll give you a bite to eat. I’ll try my best not to let you starve."
Xu Yun: "..."
"On a serious note."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Mu asked Xu Yun, "What do you plan to do next? Have you thought about it?"
"Mhm, I have."
"What is it?"
"Go home and sleep with you."
"???"
Su Mu froze for a second, then actually replied with a single word: "Okay."
"..." Xu Yun.
’He was just joking, but she had agreed so readily.’
’Is this her way of comforting me after I lost my job?’
’She’s too good to me.’
’Losing my job can be pretty great too!’
Xu Yun’s foot unconsciously pressed down harder on the accelerator.
Half an hour later, the two of them were back at the apartment complex.
They took the elevator up to the 19th floor together. Xu Yun turned and asked, "Sister Su, your place or mine?"
"Yours. It’s safer."
...
After showering.
Xu Yun went into the bedroom. Su Mu was already lying on the bed, wrapped in a bath towel.
No more words were needed. After a single look, they got to work.
At that moment, Xu Yun transformed into a master artisan of sealing joints.
Faced with the crevice, the first step was to open the gap. First, one must clear the seam by hand. The seam could be filled, or not.
Step two: vacuuming and cleaning. Before applying the sealant, one must vacuum the dust from the gap and wipe both sides of the seam clean.
Step three: load the gun and fill the seam.
When sealing, the caulk gun should be perpendicular to the tile surface so that the sealant can evenly fill the gap. Then, one must control the force and speed to ensure an even flow.
Step four: pressing and smoothing the seam.
During the process, use a special pressing tool along the seam, pulling from one side to the other. Maintain a uniform motion, do not deviate from the gap, and pay attention to aesthetics.
The final step is to clean and tidy up.
After filling the gap with sealant, let it set for five to ten minutes before removing the excess and wiping away any remaining stains.
And so, after three hours of Xu Yun’s repeated, meticulous operations, the day’s work was finally complete.
When they finally stopped, they looked at the time and realized it was already 2:00 PM, well past lunchtime.
Although both were a bit hungry, Xu Yun and Su Mu were too tired to move, as if they had just run a marathon.
They would rest first and worry about other things later.
At this point, Su Mu asked again, "Have you really not thought about what you’re going to do from now on?"
"I’ve had a plan for a while."
"And you’re not allowed to say ’sleep’ again."
"I’m not a robot. I still need to rest."
Xu Yun reached out, stroking her supple skin, and smiled. "I plan to start my own company."
