After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 264 - 263: Thrilling Sensation

Wang Chuting stepped back half a step, wearing a smile that kept people at a distance, greeted him, and left quickly.

With her qualifications, she could easily find a more-than-adequate eligible male and have a normal relationship.

But she was not content to be someone else's appendage, accustomed as she was to being among various directors and leaders on a daily basis.

Wang Chuting wanted to carve out her own place in the world; her beauty was her capital, and she had staked her most important 'first time' on Lu Liang.

"Then maybe next time..."

The man didn't finish speaking when the elevator closed slowly, and he sighed, a touch of bitterness on his lips.

At this moment, around the corner of the corridor, a man emerged, saying with an amused smile, "Rejected again?"

The gentleman in the high-neck sweater sighed, "I've invited her many times, why can't she see my intentions?"

The other man laughed quietly, "Is it possible that Wang Chuting did see, but her rejection is also quite clear?"

"Why?"

"Either you're not her type, or you haven't met her standards." The man was contemplative; he had once been a suitor of Wang Chuting but had since seen through it.

Such a beautiful girl, who had been in the industry for over four years, had yet to have a boyfriend. Normally, a girl as lovely and intelligent as Wang Chuting, even if undecided, would at least 'harbor the fish in her pond.'

By leveraging her beauty and intellect, she maintained a delicate balance with every male, maximizing her own interests.

But she didn't do so and, instead, kept a distance from every male, discussing work and not private matters.

Excluding the possibilities of her being asexual or lesbian, she either had a very strong sense of self-respect or grand ambitions.

She needed herself to be clean, and her circle too.

In any case, she was someone they couldn't handle.

"Then who can?"

"Someone on the inside."

The man in the high-neck sweater followed the gaze and saw the flickering lights atop the Zhen Shui Hotel.

He sighed helplessly, "Drink something?"

"Let's go."

On the other hand, Wang Chuting, composed, made her way back to the Zhen Shui Hotel in the ancient town, feeling quite nervous. She really didn't want to come, as it was the World Internet Conference with high-profile guests galore.

If she were to be seen, it would not be good, so she messaged Lu Liang in advance, "Open the door first, I'll be there shortly."

Lu Liang laughed softly, "It's not locked."

Stepping out of the elevator, Wang Chuting quickly arrived at room 5102, didn't hesitate, and pushed the door open.

Even though she was careful, she was still spotted, by a chubby figure with glasses at the end of the corridor.

Just as he was about to go downstairs for some food, he squinted, grinding his teeth, "Definitely an affaire."

Luo had no right to stay in Zhen Shui, but since he was tagging along with Old Ma, he also stayed on the fifth floor.

Since the launch of the NIO ES8, he had come to understand why Lu Liang had targeted him.

Although Li Bing didn't mention the source of the vehicle's infotainment system, they simply used NIO's system for the product introduction. Luo instantly recognized that the system NIO used was in fact derived from Hammer OS.

The feature of Hammer OS lies in its ability to display only the selected application on the screen, hiding all other apps.

The infotainment system in the NIO ES8 carried this feature forward, making the interface look especially minimalist and imbued with a sci-fi feel.

At the time of the new car launch, netizens who were unaware praised the NIO system to the skies, touting it as surpassing Weiliao and leading the market, on par with Tesla.

Hammer OS seemed to be made for car infotainment systems, like the team who initially developed Viagra intended it for treating cardiovascular diseases.

Then they stumbled upon a side effect that, ironically, became a blockbuster drug, grossing over a hundred billion US Dollars for Pfizer in the two decades before the patent expired.

Luo watched this unfold, heart bleeding.

Had he discovered this untapped market, perhaps Hammer Technology wouldn't have met its downfall.

There's no cure for regret; Hammer Technology was done for, and he was left with a debt of over 500 million.

70 million of which was owed to Lu Liang.

They say that the borrower is the master, but he had never felt like a master in Lu Liang's presence.

As if 70 million were nothing to fret about,

It would be good to have it, but it's no big deal otherwise.

And now, running into this couple flirting on their date, Luo became angrier the more he thought about it, nodding on the spot, and with a bang, shut the door, no longer in the mood to eat.

In room 5102, seven or eight doors down, Wang Chuting entered and swiftly shut the door behind her with the heel of her foot.

Lu Liang laughed, pouring Wang Chuting a drink, "Why does it always feel sneaky whenever I'm with you?"

Wang Chuting put down her handbag, gracefully twisting her willow-slim waist, and stretched out a long arm, draping it over Lu Liang's shoulder.

"Isn't it thrilling?" she said with a smile, her expression tender and alluring, her eyes like pools of autumn water.

Even in low-heeled shoes less than four centimeters high that wouldn't interfere with driving, her height almost matched Lu Liang's.

"It's definitely exciting."

Lu Liang, smiling, wrapped an arm around her slender waist and led Wang Chuting to sit in the living room.

The night was long, and adequate foreplay was essential for ultimate pleasure.

Wang Chuting stretched lazily and lay across the sofa, her calves exposed, casually flipping off her high heels.

Resting her head on Lu Liang's thigh, she played with his palm or compared it with her own, talking about interviewing him next year.

Next year, Lu Liang would likely be laden with awards like the Forbes Young Rich List, Best Investor, Best Fund Manager...

As long as he wanted, it wouldn't be difficult to line up an array of trophies and certificates of honor all at once.

Lu Liang chuckled, pinching her delicate chin, "According to your research, how much is my wealth now?"

"It should be 7.317 billion," Wang Chuting replied promptly, having seen the statistics beforehand.

"How did you come up with such an exact figure?" Lu Liang asked in surprise, for he wouldn't have asked Wang Chuting if he knew.

Mainly because he was also unsure, having invested in a multitude of companies, it could take three to five years for them to be liquidated.

Wang Chuting laughed mischievously: "We're guessing."

For example, Douyin was valued at 2.2 billion US Dollars, with Tianxing Investment holding 9.25%, making their stake worth 203.5 million US Dollars.

Then there was Tianxing Technology, which saw its valuation surge to 381 million US Dollars with Golden Sand River's investment, with Lu Liang's 90% stake valued at 342.9 million US Dollars.

And then Panda Interactive Entertainment, valued at 580 million US Dollars, with Tianxing Investment holding 12.2%, worth 70.76 million US Dollars.

Lastly, Tianxing Asset Management, being too secretive and not disclosing its assets publicly, they could only symbolically add a further 500 million US Dollars to Lu Liang's wealth.

"You guessed fairly accurately," Lu Liang muttered to himself.

At the beginning of next month, the second fund would be settled and the third would be disbursed, and once he secured the shares of Ningde, his wealth would increase by another six or seven hundred million US Dollars.

Lu Liang sighed deeply, "Just over seventy billion, I thought I'd broken a hundred already."

Wang Chuting was at a loss for words, tilted her head, and playfully bit Little Lu through the pajamas, "Is that even something a human would say?"

Although it was just over seventy billion, Lu Liang's current status and influence clearly couldn't be measured by wealth alone.
