After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future-Chapter 631: If You Want to Accuse, You Can Always Find a Reason
"Does he have a child already?"
Seeing the trending news, Zhang Tian’ai and Pang Di were instantly thrown into chaos. The deepest hope hidden in their hearts was ruthlessly shattered by the news.
Their dream of marrying into wealth and becoming billion-dollar socialites seemed to be drifting further away.
"Didn’t I already know this? What’s bothering me?" Zhang Tian’ai suddenly smiled in relief.
When she first met Lu Liang, he had already said that if she ever met a boy she liked, she should just tell him.
She willingly became a caged canary, and if one day she wanted freedom, Lu Liang would open the cage without a care.
"Ms. Tian’ai, the night scenes are about to start shooting. Do you have time to come and touch up your makeup?"
Outside the RV, the crew’s assistant director cautiously asked, and Zhang Tian’ai instantly switched smiles, responded, and opened the car door.
Meanwhile, at another corner of Hengdian, the "Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book" crew had no night scenes tonight, and Yang Mi just happened to visit the set.
The sisters had a heart-to-heart talk at a nearby hotel, and Yang Mi sighed while looking at Pang Di, who was staring dazedly at her phone.
"Can you see clearly now?"
Yang Mi always believed her relationship with Lu Liang was purely physical, with both parties getting what they needed.
As long as there’s no hope, there will be no disappointment.
On the other hand, Pang Di was really too much like her younger self.
With the same determination, the same unrealistic fantasies about love, she naively believed Lu Liang had feelings for her beyond mere desire.
Yang Mi once thought she could find true love in the entertainment industry’s fame and fortune, but she encountered the wrong person, leaving a lasting shadow on her life.
"I couldn’t see clearly before, but now I do."
Pang Di smiled bitterly, suddenly staring at the cigarettes and lighter on the table.
"Have one," Yang Mi sighed, handing over the lighter and offering a cigarette.
It’s common for female celebrities in the entertainment industry to smoke because of various anxieties and pressures related to appearance, body, and age.
And compared to reputation-ruining drugs, nicotine is the easiest way to produce dopamine without much cost.
Pang Di lit a cigarette and coughed severely; she had actually smoked before but quit at Yang Mi’s insistence.
After a few years, her brain was once again stimulated by nicotine, causing a dizzying sensation that almost made her unable to stand.
Pang Di suddenly took out her wallet and found a small transparent bag in the compartment, lit it and tossed it into the ashtray.
At that time, Lu Liang only treated it as a game, but she took it seriously, naively thinking each stick could grant a wish.
Yang Mi was puzzled but didn’t ask why.
Accompanied by coughing, smoke gradually filled the room.
Early the next morning, in the top-floor suite of Magic City Center Building, the third highest building in the world.
In the dim bedroom, there were faint sounds of snoring,
As a couple lay naked, embracing each other in sleep.
The girl quietly opened her eyes, tilted her head, and looked at the person next to her with love, gently brushing the prickly stubble with her fingertips.
From the chin to the cheek, to the forehead, finally landing on the nose, she lightly poked: "Just rest well."
There was still a baby at home; she was truly concerned and carefully moved the hand resting on her chest, picked up the clothes on the floor, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Suddenly, with a click, she accidentally triggered a switch, causing the blackout curtains to slowly open on both sides.
The room was located on the 126th floor, over 600 meters high, with the morning light spilling onto the bedside as the three layers of curtains gradually unfolded.
The glaring brightness made Lu Liang’s eyelashes flutter slightly, and Su Wanyu knew something was wrong, searching for the curtain switch.
Such a high-end room she had only visited a few times, temporarily unable to find where the curtain switch was.
Until the snoring stopped, and Lu Liang’s deep voice sounded: "What are you doing?"
Su Wanyu, holding her clothes, returned to the bedside, waved her hand like a lucky cat, and giggled: "Good morning."
She took out her phone, opened the monitoring app, and saw that Siqing had just woken up and seemed to be crying for her.
Seeing Lu Liang sleeping soundly, she was unwilling to disturb him, deciding to let him rest and sneak back home.
The sunrise outside was piercing, and Lu Liang couldn’t open his eyes. He stretched his arms and pulled Su Wanyu into his embrace, kissing her cheek: "Then just go back first, take my car, I’ll sleep a little more, later Shiyu will come to pick me up."
"Okay." Su Wanyu responded, laughing as she gently patted Lu Liang’s back of the head: "Have a good rest, mom will go home first."
"You little brat," Lu Liang muttered, pulling the blanket over his head and lying straight in bed, drifting back into sleep.
"Hehe~"
Su Wanyu giggled, feeling delighted.
When you’re in a good mood, everything seems to go smoothly. The switch for the sunshade I was just looking for was found almost instantly.
As the shade gradually closed, a faint snoring filled the room. Su Wanyu tiptoed, hopping step by step towards the door.
She suddenly turned her head, glanced at Lu Liang, smiled brightly like a flower, waved her hand, and whispered, "Bye-bye!"
Around noon, Lu Liang yawned, scratched his head, walked out of the bedroom, picked up his phone, and checked his messages.
Three hours ago, Su Wanyu sent a photo. The little guy, with a red nose, was nestled in her arms, sleeping soundly.
Lu Liang smiled knowingly, replying with a cute emoji.
He suddenly noticed that last night Wang Chuting also sent him a message with several rather revealing pregnancy photos.
Wearing a purple gauze nightgown draped over her body, everything that should be exposed was exposed, and nothing that shouldn’t be was shown.
Like hiding behind the pipa, half-concealed, she pointed finger-gun-style at her eight-month-large belly, with a caption: "Are you coming or not?"
Lu Liang chuckled, evidently knowing the reason, and replied, "Later, the company has things to do during the day."
After that, he called his cousin to pick him up by car, then headed to the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.
July 1, Army Day.
On its first day of release, "I Am Not the Medicine God" accumulated a box office of 160 million yuan.
This box office number alone may not seem high, especially since last year’s War Wolf 2 raised the single-day record to 378 million, but the Douban rating is surprisingly high, reaching an astonishing 9.3 points.
High reputation and a box office breaking 100 million on its first day indicate this is a film with huge potential.
When netizens saw the investor list, they were stunned, seeing Tianxing Investment ranked third, indicating a significant share.
A seasoned film critic couldn’t help but educate, reminding the audience of blockbusters over the years that Tianxing Investment hardly missed.
"Can you imagine? Of all Tianxing Investment’s film projects, their lowest-grossing film was Donkey Gets Water, earning 178 million, even though it only cost 10 million to produce. It’s terrifying."
This statement led many movie enthusiasts to exclaim that our domestic films have hope. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
After all, with such a strong and discerning investor in Domestic Entertainment, not rising to the top is difficult. .
Everyone started anticipating a year and a half ago, the so-called hardest domestic sci-fi film ever, made on a budget of 100 million US dollars.
"Wandering Earth" suddenly went viral, causing news about Lu Liang’s private life to quietly vanish from trending topics.
After all, he is ranked eleventh on the domestic billionaire list, worth tens of billions, 33 years old, and people are often lenient with self-made magnates.
According to netizens, if I had as much money as Lu Liang, I’d be enjoying life even more lavishly; dating a college girl and having a child wouldn’t be an issue.
"These days, online trends appear and disappear without reason."
In the general manager’s office of Tianxing Investment, Lu Liang finished his business and habitually browsed the news online.
Seeing the public opinion online, he smiled wryly, knowing it had nothing to do with him taking Su Wanyu out last night; it was purely for relaxation, without any other intentions.
The buzz was naturally unfounded.
Suddenly, Lu Liang’s expression gradually grew serious when he noticed a piece of unimpressive news at the corner of the news circle.
"The US Department of Justice has initiated an investigation into Hays Technology’s operations in Yilan from 2009 to 2014, with Hays’ General Manager and COF reportedly summoned by Canadian police..."
Hays Technology’s full name is Huawei Hays Technology, originally the Huawei Integrated Circuit Design Center, also wholly owned by Huawei.
Also, the general manager and COF of Hays Technology is the vice chairman and CFO of Huawei, essentially the next chairman of Huawei.
If it were a professional manager, whether she would be the next chairman might be uncertain, but she is different; she is also Mr. Ren’s daughter.
So the next leader of Huawei,
Can only be her, and will only be her.
"2009 to 2014? Fabricating charges, there’s always a pretext."
Lu Liang laughed coldly, although the investigation is under the pretense of enforcing sanctions on Yilan, with Hays violating US regulations.
But just like Zhu Di, who broke the peace treaty to attack the Xiongnu, using the pretext of avenging Liu Bang.
The historical events can’t be said to be very similar, but rather identical, since there must be a pretext for action.
"Just as the tariff bill is set to be implemented, this gift arrives. Truly, it’s a troublesome time."
Lu Liang sighed, recalling the tariff bill set to be officially implemented in five days.
He wasn’t naive enough to think the two events were unrelated.
"I hope the Alstom incident doesn’t repeat itself."
During its peak, Alstom had five world-firsts: hydroelectric equipment, conventional islands of nuclear power plants, environmental control systems, ultra-high-speed trains from the transport department, and high-speed trains. It was the pride of Gaul’s industry, the brightest jewel.
The United States took notice, arresting and detaining Alstom’s executives under charges like bribery, breaking it apart and leaving it in decline.
The main orchestrator of this, whom Lu Liang has met a few times, is Flannery, now the chairman of General Motors.
