After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future

Chapter 436: Where It Begins, Not So Easy to End

Before long, Sun Yutao and Xu Jiawei received calls from fund investors.

They explained truthfully that due to an investigation by the Silver Supervision Committee, they hadn’t had time to compile this month’s data and would need to delay the update by a few days.

However, when asked when the investigation would conclude, both of them responded that they were uncertain at the moment.

"Where is Mr. Lu?”

They tried calling Lu Liang, but they received a notification that he was already on another call.

Xu Jiawei glanced over at Lu Liang, who was enjoying afternoon tea, “Mr. Lu is currently busy addressing this matter; perhaps you could call back later?”

Boss Lu had said previously, although their intent to use others to eliminate their rivals was clear, they needed to create the illusion of being actively busy.

Therefore, a personal phone should call the work phone to keep it engaged and temporarily block all other contacts.

After all, investors in the third phase of the private equity fund were no ordinary people; without explicit explanations, they could gather the background of the situation through their own channels.

Moreover, people tend to believe only what they’ve investigated themselves, so even if Lu Liang explained it to them, they would still investigate it.

Might as well let the bullet fly for a moment.

"Okay, let’s leave it at that for now.”

The investors contacted each other privately to inquire about the situation.

In their

The voice on the other end said, “Old Liu, you’ve already retired; just let the younger generation handle their own affairs.”

"Old leader, I really didn’t want to do this, but Lu Liang has gone too far.”

Old Liu began to voice his grievances, but was cut off, “I won’t last many more years; next month when the US leaders visit China, Lu Liang is specifically scheduled to meet them; think over it carefully.”

Old Liu’s expression changed, “Old leader, this matter concerning Lu Liang is trivial, but your health is paramount; you shouldn’t speak like this.”

In high positions, everyone has connections; it’s just a matter of whether those connections are strong enough to protect a company’s development.

If his old leader couldn’t hold on, life for the Liu family wouldn’t be so relaxed anymore.

With the old leader gone, a new leader would rise, and this new leader would have their own forces to cultivate.

"Hopefully, it can hold on for a few more years.”

…

Meanwhile,

Lu Liang also ended his leisurely afternoon tea time.

He picked up his phone and returned calls to investors one by one, “Sorry, I was just on the phone with the investigation team from the Silver Supervision Committee.”

"It shouldn’t be anything serious, just routine investigations, as soon as the investigation ends, I’ll update you promptly.”

"This month, we participated in Panda’s IPO and made a good profit, the latest net asset value should be around 1.8.”

"With everyone’s support, what difficulties could the fund company have? It’s fine as long as we cooperate with the relevant authorities.”

Lu Liang was pure like a little white flower; it seemed everyone knew he was being targeted except for himself.

Half an hour later, seeing Lu Liang put down his phone, Wang Chuting thoughtfully brought him a glass of warm water, “For your throat.”

"Thank you.” Lu Liang drained it in one gulp, Wang Chuting couldn’t help but be curious, “Is everything resolved?”

Just now, she saw a trending topic on Weibo, and from the content of Lu Liang’s conversations, she roughly guessed the reason.

Lu Liang shook his head and chuckled softly, “Since it’s started, how could it end so easily? What do they take me for?”

He had already instructed Sun Yutao to give the entire company a week off, leaving just a few managers to cooperate with the investigation from the Silver Supervision Committee.

Let them come back after the National Day; during this period, Tianxing Private Equity will be closed, and no one’s words would matter.

Dragging it out one more day would increase the pressure on the Liu family.

By the 5th, the net asset value for the fourth phase fund would also be delayed in updating, which would involve institutions on Wall Street.

Old Liu was just a remnant of the old era, it was time for him to realize things aren’t like the old days.

This way, it would also let the institutions on Wall Street know that he was interested in investing in DiDi and test their reactions.

"What should we eat tonight?” Wang Chuting asked affectionately, her love overflowing and proud.

She realized she really was falling for Lu Liang, facing a colossal entity like the Liu family with such calm.

"I’m not free tonight, I have to eat at home.”

Lu Liang glanced at a message on his phone, his lips curled slightly, revealing a fatherly smile.

Su Wanyu also had her tricks, sending a video of the little one sucking his finger, asking if he was coming home for dinner.

For Lu Liang, no woman was closer than his daughter, without a second thought, he voice replied, “Yes, I’m already on the way.”

Wang Chuting glimpsed it from the corner of her eye, didn’t think much of it, and asked with a smile, “Is that a baby girl? She’s really pretty, your niece?”

Lu Liang chuckled and shook his head, “Not my niece.”

Wang Chuting was startled, not having a chance to inquire further before Lu Liang openly declared, “My daughter.”

Wang Chuting’s mouth dropped open, slightly stunned, and muttered to herself, “Really? How old?”

"Just over two months.”

Lu Liang stood up and stretched lazily, smiling at her, “What’s the matter? Feeling overwhelmed?”

Wang Chuting nodded then shook her head, forcing a smile, “We’ve been together for over a year.”

Though it felt like self-deception, the child being two months old, combined with the pregnancy, added up to about a year.

A year ago, she had already been with Lu Liang, so she wasn’t a homewrecker.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Li’s?”

Lu Liang said, “You probably don’t know her.”

Wang Chuting was silent for a long while, then suddenly asked seriously, “You said you would help me with my menstrual cramps, is that still on?”

Lu Liang laughed silently, touched her cheek, and nodded, “It still stands.”

Every time her period came, Wang Chuting would suffer terribly, going to the hospital without finding any issue.

At that time, he had suggested that getting pregnant might help, but Wang Chuting had rejected the idea, prioritizing her career.

"That’s more like it.”

Wang Chuting narrowed her eyes, satisfied with Lu Liang’s response, teasingly said, “When will you bring her to meet ‘little mom’?”

Lu Liang replied, “Not likely soon, she and her mother are heading back to the United Kingdom after the National Day.”

Wang Chuting puzzled, “She doesn’t look mixed.”

She was of mixed heritage, but at a quick glance, the baby seemed like a pure Eastern girl.

"Going to study abroad.”

At night, Lu Liang returned to Green City Puhwan.

Su Wanyu was busy in the kitchen,

Zheng Xiaoxuan was in the living room, scrolling through her phone while tending to the baby.

Although she had just arrived at East Country University, she had become incredibly proficient with various domestic apps in just a few days.

Her favorites were Little Red Potato and Weibo, she suddenly asked, “Boss Lu, did you withdraw from the trending search?”
