Chapter 28: Savior, Do You Know Today is My Birthday?

The little red bird played the conversation between the manager and the higher-ups for Gu Man.

She knew that she had attracted the attention of the national authorities.

It seemed that the owners of cattle, pigs, chickens, and grains had all been questioned.

Since the government hadn’t acted against her, it meant they were observing her.

This was the best news.

Her mood lifted greatly.

As she passed by a cake shop, for some reason, she suddenly felt like eating cake.

She hadn’t been interested in such high-calorie sweet foods before, but today, looking at the pleasant colors in the window, she was suddenly craving something.

She stopped the car.

The combination of a beautiful car and a beautiful woman was eye-catching.

A crowd gathered around the car, taking photos.

“Can I take a photo with your car? It’s so cool!”

A graceful young woman walked out of the cake shop and was immediately drawn to the car, her eyes sparkling, clearly enamored with it.

“Of course,” Gu Man replied.

She liked beautiful women, especially those with a good aura.

Moreover, this young woman was so polite.

“May I ask, which manufacturer made this car? As far as I know, no one has such technology now.”

The car’s appearance could be somewhat similar to others, but its smooth, seamless body could never be replicated.

Not to mention those special wheels and its almost ghostly speed…

The young woman was increasingly amazed, her eyes growing hotter.

Gu Man had been in a hurry to buy cake, but hearing this question, she remembered who this was.

Mu Bai Xuan, the heir to the Lotus Car Group, an outstanding woman with an exceptional career.

Gu Man admired her greatly, so she was willing to chat more.

“You’re right, no one has such technology now.”

“This car’s technology comes from the future.”

Mu Bai Xuan froze for a moment.

Her reaction was swift.

“May I ask how to address you? Can we exchange WeChat?”

She looked at Gu Man, growing more certain she recognized her.

But she hesitated to acknowledge her. After all, the photos of her and the woman before her were like two completely different people.

“Are you… Gu Man, the daughter of the Gu Group?”

Gu Man smiled.

Mu Bai Xuan’s eyes lit up even more.

“Gu Miss, I really admire you, and I’m not flattering you.”

The methods and intelligence she showed when regaining shares were impressive to her.

“Don’t you think I’m cold-blooded and heartless?”

Mu Bai Xuan shook her head.

“I only regret that I wasn’t born a man, or I’d definitely marry you!”

Gu Man crossed her arms and stepped back.

“Don’t even think about it, I’m not into women!”

Mu Bai Xuan froze for a moment before bending over laughing.

This Gu Miss was truly delightful!

The two women, with contrasting auras, joking in front of a cool sports car, was simply a bright scene.

Gu Man grinned and said:

“If Miss Mu is interested in this car, bring the price your group can afford, and come find me at the mountain villa tomorrow.”

Nuclear-powered cars had to be made, and the technology could be given to anyone—but why not to this charming young woman?

With a playful wink, she turned and walked into the cake shop.

Mu Bai Xuan felt as if she had been hit by a falling pie, dizzy with excitement.

She hurriedly filmed the car and drove home to tell her father.

She had a feeling that Mu’s car company would soon become a game-changer in the entire industry!

“Miss, what kind of cake would you like?”

Gu Man scanned the cakes and breads in the shop.

“Pack all the cakes and breads and send them to this address.”

“These and these individually packed, I’ll take them with me now.” The staff was stunned.

“Is this how you buy things?”

The shop owner rushed over and pushed the stunned staff aside.

Good heavens! Even the god of wealth wouldn’t get such treatment!

“Okay, okay, I’ll have someone pack them immediately.”

“These cakes and breads total 128,000, but I’ll charge you only 120,000.”

Gu Man scanned the payment, making the transaction effortlessly.

She took the two bags of packed cake and headed for the car.

The people inside the shop watched as she left.

“Who is this person? She’s so extravagant!”

“Look at the car she’s driving, I’ve never seen anything like it!”

“Which family’s rich daughter is she?”

“Ah, it’s her! Gu Man, daughter of the Gu Group, her family is worth billions!”

“She’s really Gu Man… I can’t believe that Lin person doesn’t appreciate her!”

“Yeah, she’s much more beautiful than in the pictures, she’s absolutely glowing!”

After returning home, Gu Man released the little bird and took out her phone to message Song Lufeng.

“Lord Song, what are you busy with?”

“I noticed your side is short on clothes and necessities, so I bought a lot of daily items for you, including clothes, shoes, and socks. They’ll be delivered tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll go buy winter clothes tomorrow. Get ready to receive them.”

Life in the post-apocalyptic world was tough. Despite advanced technology, resources were extremely scarce.

Most of the resources were used for survival, leaving almost nothing for anything beyond that.

Everyone was ragged and barefoot in the freezing cold.

Moreover, the clothes they wore seemed stiff and cold, made from materials that looked rough and harsh.

It was a harsh, freezing time.

Gu Man’s heart ached for them.

Even basic kitchenware was nonexistent.

A steel bowl for meals would be a luxury—most people ate with their hands.

She simply couldn’t stand it!

The situation on their end was busy.

Two minutes later, Song Lufeng’s handsome face appeared on the screen, his background quieter.

For some reason, although she could see part of the post-apocalyptic world through Song Lufeng’s perspective, it wasn’t complete.

She guessed this might be something he wanted her to see.

“I had something earlier, Savior, thank you.”

Song Lufeng’s expression was slightly tired, but it quickly faded.

“Don’t mention it, things are progressing smoothly on my end. The national authorities have noticed me, but they haven’t stopped me from purchasing supplies, which is a good sign.”

“I met the daughter of an automobile group earlier, and maybe nuclear car technology could fetch a good price… Song Lufeng, why do you have blood on your face?”

Gu Man stood up, her tone tense.

She almost forgot that Song Lufeng was in the dangerous post-apocalyptic world!

Song Lufeng hurriedly wiped the blood from his face, a bit embarrassed.

“I was careless.”

“Earlier… there was an attack from the mutant beasts…”

He quickly summarized without going into detail.

Mutant beasts attacking the city!

“What’s the situation there? How many casualties in the city? Oh my, you’re still smiling!”

Gu Man was almost going crazy with worry.

But she couldn’t do anything to help.

Other than delivering supplies.

Their weapons couldn’t even intimidate the mutant beasts.

And they couldn’t even deliver them in time.

It was so frustrating!

“Don’t worry, Savior, the city is fine. Only a few dozen were injured, but it’s not a big problem.”

“As for me… I’m better than ever.”

Other than being a little tired from using my powers a few times.

“Really?”

Gu Man was doubtful.

“Really.”

Song Lufeng looked sincere.

Gu Man couldn’t figure out what was going on, but she trusted him.

“Alright then, after a battle like that, you must be exhausted. Let me treat you to some cake.”

“You’re right, I didn’t think much of it before, but now, without realizing it, I’ve eaten half a cake.”

Gu Man sent the cake over.

There was a slight pause on the other side, and his voice sounded a bit odd.

“Savior, did you know… today is my birthday?”

Gu Man stopped scooping cake and opened the image, then stared at it in shock.

Uh…

This was quite the beautiful misunderstanding!
