Friday, the last workday of the week. The New Energy Index opened low and continued downwards, declining throughout the day and breaking through the 2800 point mark. Yesterday, the news that Lu Liang had sold off new energy component stocks without regard for the consequences was overshadowed by the index's flash crash. The entire sector saw a net outflow of funds amounting to 32.8 billion, with Lu Liang selling off ninety million himself, but this went unnoticed. "Mr. Lu, happy holiday." As five o'clock approached, cheers and laughter filled the entire company, and everyone's face bore the joy of the impending holiday. On the one hand, they were welcoming a three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and on the other, Lu Liang distributed 1,800 yuan as a holiday bonus to each employee. Regardless of whether employees were new or old, even just recruited interns who hadn't been made permanent received a share, because after all, dinners and team-building are superficial, it's giving cash that really counts. "You too, happy holiday." Lu Liang smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, leaving the company with Fang Shiyu. In the underground parking lot, beside a yellow Urus, a black and gray Bentley Moshang was parked. Yesterday, the 4s shop had delivered the car, fully paid 6.48 million and registered under Tianxing Assets. Tianxing Capital is wholly owned by Lu Liang, currently not making a profit, ultimately it still required his funding. Tianxing Assets was different, not only did it include Lu Liang, but also Old Meng and Little Wang, with 2 million US dollars in management fees on the accounts. Lu Liang, with a wave of his hand, took out half to buy himself a car, and also covered the Tangchen's rent within it. The company is collective, but the money is personal; under Old Meng's explicit and implicit lessons, he too had learned quite a few tricks. "Bro, where are we going?" As the car stopped in the parking lot, and both brothers sat inside, listening to Fang Shiyu's question, Lu Liang fell into thought. Li Manli had participated in Panda Interactive Entertainment's Mid-Autumn event, which during the holiday required her to stream live in cooperation with the platform for three days. Wen Shanshan chose a thriller with an investment of 9 million, where the production was short 3 million—Lu Liang had covered it for her. Having successfully brought funding into the production and passed the audition for the female lead, she had informed him a few days ago before heading north to shoot the film. Zhang Qian was busy, gaining fame as the fast-food beauty, her shop bustling every day. "Let's go to the airport." Lu Liang called Chen Jinchun, asking her to book two tickets to Lu Island and arrange hotel and transportation. He thought of Su Wanyu, who had been back in her hometown for over a month, excitedly telling him that morning she would return after the Mid-Autumn Festival. In over a month, Lu Liang had spoken fewer than twenty sentences with her, which were mostly her sharing snippets of her life with him. If he landed there suddenly, she would likely be touched. Fang Shiyu was astonished, "Bro, shouldn't we go home and pack our bags first?" "What's there to pack? We'll buy what we need when we get there." It was just past eight o'clock in the evening when the plane reached Lu Island. During the Mid-Autumn mini-holiday, and being a well-known tourist city, Lu Island had plenty of visitors coming and going. Lu Liang's decision to travel without luggage was wise; they avoided the crowded conveyor belt scramble for baggage. He took Fang Shiyu to the airport's arrival gate and smoothly connected with the driver arranged by the hotel. Upon settling into the hotel, Lu Liang left his cousin at the hotel and drove the hotel's car to the outskirts of the island. Using the address on Su Wanyu's identification card, he arrived at a community developed by Baoli Group in Xiang'an. "Hey, what are you up to?" Lu Liang parked the car at the entrance of the community and called Su Wanyu. "Wow~ Is the sun rising from the west today, or am I still asleep? You're actually calling me?" Su Wanyu sounded excited, yet there was a hint of playful bitterness and rebuke. If not for Lu Liang sometimes sending her a few emojis indicating he had read her messages, she might have thought she was in a phony relationship. She knew Lu Liang was busy, so she didn't disturb him on ordinary days, but she was human too, and always having to be the warmer party wore her down over time. "How about you go back to sleep, and maybe you'll find out it's just a dream when you wake up?" The community's security wasn't strict; Lu Liang, still on the phone, followed some elderly folks and successfully sneaked in. "Even if it's a dream, it would still be a beautiful dream." Su Wanyu excitedly shared that she had bought a high-speed train ticket for Tuesday and insisted that Lu Liang come to pick her up, as she had a big surprise for him. "What surprise?" Lu Liang followed the old man's steps and casually entered a residential building of the community. Upon understanding the layout of the building's floors and apartments, he arrived downstairs at Su Wanyu's home. On the fourth floor to the southeast, a room was lit, which he deduced must be Su Wanyu's place. "A surprise, huh? If told, wouldn't it cease being a surprise? You'll find out when you come to pick me up." "Coincidentally, I also have a surprise for you." "What surprise?" "It should be arriving soon, are you at home?" "Yes, is it a delivery?" "More or less." "What is it?" "Want to know?" "Mm-hmm~" "Come over to the balcony and take a look." "No way~~" Su Wanyu seemed to have guessed something, her excitement and astonishment discernible even through the phone. A burst of hurried footsteps emanated from the other end of the line, and a few seconds later, an exuberant figure appeared on the fourth-floor balcony. Her long hair cascaded down, with a few strands sticking up on top, seemingly still in her pajamas. Much like she shared on everyday occasions, as long as her parents didn't ask her to go out, she could stay at home all day. Su Wanyu's eyes widened when she saw Lu Liang sitting on a bench downstairs, waving at her, "Are you satisfied with this gift?" Lu Liang saw Su Wanyu's head shaking excitedly, her face aglow with joy, "Satisfied, so satisfied, I am coming down~" Humming a little tune, Su Wanyu returned to her room, hurriedly changing clothes and putting on makeup, while saying, "Wait for me, I'll be ready soon." "Take your time, no rush." Lu Liang hung up the phone, idly observing the surroundings of the community. Su Wanyu had mentioned before that her family were natives of Lu Island, who then moved outside the island after the demolition. Her parents owned a local apparel factory, making their family's economic conditions moderately above average. Some ten minutes later, Su Wanyu came downstairs, clad in a light green long dress and white low-heel sandals. She liked wearing long dresses and the style suited her well; her long hair fluttering, the hem of her dress swaying with the wind, gave her an ethereal aura. Upon seeing Lu Liang, Su Wanyu jogged up to him and wrapped him in a big hug, "How come you suddenly came over here?" But before Lu Liang could react, she quickly let go, her face flushed red, whispering, "Let's go out first." It was under her home building, she was worried about running into acquaintances. Lu Liang chuckled, talking as they walked, "Recently wrapped up work, I missed you, so I came over." As soon as they left the community, Su Wanyu could not wait to hug Lu Liang around the waist, cheek to cheek with him, "I missed you too." The faint scent of Milan flowers, the delicate posture of the young girl, everything about this moment was intoxicating, Lu Liang enjoyed the warmth. The two embraced silently for a long time until Lu Liang felt Su Wanyu's body temperature rising and her heartbeat quickening. "Didn't you say you'd give me a surprise? Where is it?" He let go on purpose, as he felt a physical reaction unintentionally. "Can't you see it?" Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, her face all smiles, as she walked up to Lu Liang, facing him eye to eye. Blinking her bright and clear eyes, the blush on her cheeks mimicked the allure of being tipsy. Lu Liang scrutinized for a long time but couldn't notice any changes, the only difference might be the earrings, he reached out and lightly touched one, "You've put on earrings, looks quite nice." "You blockhead, it's so obvious and you still can't see it." Su Wanyu wrinkled her nose, shaking her head, and using her hands to mimic glasses, "Didn't you notice I am not wearing glasses?" "Aren't you wearing contacts?" Lu Liang had once commented that Su Wanyu looked good without glasses, henceon subsequent dates, she started wearing contact lenses. "I'm not wearing them today." Su Wanyu lifted her chin in pride, almost broadcasting the answer. Lu Liang grinned knowingly, but played along, stretching out two fingers, "How many fingers are these?" "Three, okay?" Su Wanyu glared at him. Lu Liang chuckled, realizing she had undergone correction surgery, and asked with concern, "Are you used to it? Any side effects?" seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "There was some initial soreness, but now as long as I use eye drops on time, it's fine." Su Wanyu, holding Lu Liang's hand, lifted it high and swung it energetically, sharing her novel experiences post-correction. Eating soup or noodles no longer required removing glasses, and waking up each day she could see everything clearly. Lu Liang, with a smile on his face, listened as she incessantly talked about her daily life after ditching glasses. He knew why he had a special fondness for Su Wanyu, because she wasn't scared of him, always treating him like a normal boyfriend. One might say, her views on relationships were very normal, so normal that Lu Liang found it to be a precious rarity. For he knew his own views on relationships, extremely unhealthy, including his relationship with his ex-wife, which happened only because family pressured him, the age was right, the match was made, so they got married. He envied that.
