Chapter 390: 384: Old Xu

“Great, I will give you a number shortly. Contact this person, and as soon as you leave that club, report back to Celeston City as quickly as possible. We’ll discuss your terms then.” Finn said, not elaborating further. As for the decision making, that was down to Ella and Skyler Worthington.

“Right, I got it.” Ella concisely agreed.

After speaking, Finn hung up the call. He had faith that Ella was a smart woman. The last time that he had seen her, he sensed that she was indeed clever and would certainly make the right choice.

“Young Master, is there anything you need my help with?” Jay Sommer asked with a smile.

“Hmm, look for a reliable person within the company, someone suitable to hand things over to.” Finn suggested after a brief thought.

“Certainly, I’ll choose the best candidate. Here, part of the security work is done by the T1000. I will make sure whoever takes over is thoroughly briefed.” Jay responded.

Finn nodded, lately realising a specific feature of the T2500 model of intelligent robots: they weren’t easily replaceable. Take Jay Sommer and Henry Lewis, for instance. The ones that had been exchanged a long time ago and had interacted with humans for a significant period were notably more dependable concerning their speech, behaviour, and problem-solving methods.

On the other hand, the newly exchanged T2500 intelligent robots, despite their excellent analytical and computational skills, often didn’t make the most optimised choices.

Thus, Finn would prefer to choose older intelligent robots like Jay, while the newly exchanged ones could disassemble Jay’s role. This way, they could still be put to good use.

In the afternoon, Jason Wells had completed all the data processing. Prosper Witcher also came to the Blue Wind Technology Company. Finn chose a face for Prosper, a face of an ordinary middle-aged man that nevertheless conveyed efficiency.

“Young Master.” When Prosper saw Finn, he spoke with great respect.

“This is Jason, my younger brother. From now on, you will be supporting him with the operations of the trading company.” Finn introduced Jason to Prosper. Of course, Prosper had all the requisite data and Finn was primarily speaking to Jason.

“Young Master Jason.” Prosper immediately said.

“Stop.” Jason waved his hand and said, “Can I call you brother Prosper? Please don’t call me Young Master. Any other simple address like Jason or Mr. Wells will do. I’m just not used to that title.” At times, Jason felt that his brother tended to lean towards the absurd.

Having introduced Jason to Prosper, Finn left. The trading company was very crucial, with all related funds in Prosper’s hands. Entrusting it to Jason did not seem like an unreliable move to Finn. Jason perhaps lacked in abilities, but had a commendable character. He just couldn’t see clearly and understand some matters before.

Now that he has become sensible, Finn has faith in his abilities. If we even account for Jason’s weaknesses, Prosper was there to assist him. Entrusting the trading company to a family member put Finn at ease.

Having assigned these responsibilities to Jason, Finn believed that with Prosper’s help, Jason would take good care of everything. After entrusting them, Finn drove back home in Olivia. It seemed like it had been a long while since Finn had returned home considering his busy schedule.

“Master, you should consider moving into a new residence,” Olivia suggested.

“Yeah, although this place seemed nice earlier, it does feel a bit small now.” Finn mused, expressing a sigh. Realising how far he’d come in a short time, he thought that anyone who finds out about his current residence would be astounded.

“However, a standard villa wouldn’t suit you now, Master.” Olivia joked. Finn agreed, stating that he could simply buy a plot of land and build his own house.

“If you’re building, build a big one!” Olivia instigated further excitement.

Finn chuckled and said, “You want me to include a better garage for you too?”

“This is not my body. I can transfer my data to another place anytime. However, you need to hurry your progression, Master. In the future, I want a better data centre.” Olivia rapidly responded.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you a bigger body in the future,” Finn laughed and assured her.

After parking his car in the garage and coming out, Olivia’s voice rang out: “Master, the person next to you seems to be trying to find you.”

On hearing her, Finn looked around and saw a man in his forties crouched at the entrance of his building. Dressed in tattered clothes that spoke of his circumstances, the man had a sack next to him. The content of the sack was unknown. Finn recognised the man after a few moments of thought.

Whilst sizing up the man, the man, in turn, recognised Finn and immediately stood up in a fluster, “You are Xu Shulin, right?” Finn took a moment before he replied with a smile.

“Yes… it’s me… Hello Mr. Lewis.” Xu stammered, his Northern accent evident.

“Hello, what brings you here?” Finn asked curiously. Thanks to his sharp memory, there were few people Finn didn’t remember.

“No… there’s no particular reason. I just brought some speciality products from my hometown. I accidentally bumped into your car last time and I know that you not only forgave me but also compensated me for another car. I couldn’t really afford to get you anything luxurious. The items I bring are from our hometown, a small token of my gratitude. I don’t mean anything more than expressing my wholehearted thanks. You saved my family.” Xu stuttered while handing his sack to Finn.
