In the early morning, a ray of sunlight reached the bedside, casting a warm pattern of light and shadow on the bedding, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace. Lu Liang rubbed his eyes, still bleary-eyed, and noticed that Su Wanyu was without a stitch, curled up under the blankets, looking up at him with big round eyes. "Good morning~" Su Wanyu smiled, waving her little hand. Lu Liang smiled faintly, rolled to his side, and enveloped her delicate and smooth waist with his hands. "Did you wake up much earlier than me?" "Not really, just a little earlier than you." "Let's sleep a bit more then." With the warm and tender beauty in his arms, Lu Liang indulged in the moments, enjoying their closeness. Their bodies pressed together, intensifying their relationship. Until a faint ringtone from the living room interrupted, Su Wanyu curiously asked, "Sounds like your phone?" "Probably is," Lu Liang squinted, unconcerned, letting the phone ring on. "Aren't you going to answer it?" "Let it wait." "But I want to get up now." "Go ahead, I'm not stopping you." "Hurry up." With huff, Su Wanyu pushed at Lu Liang, a bit too forcefully and her brows slightly furrowed. Lu Liang's expression softened, smoothing the creases between her brows, he kissed her forehead tenderly. "I'll wait for you outside." As he left the bedroom wearing his clothes, a second later, the sound of the bedroom door being locked echoed behind him. Lu Liang's lips curled into a smile as he picked up his phone, cigarette pack, and lighter, and walked to the balcony to return the call. On the phone, Wen Chao informed him that today, the 30th, was the day of the Tesla Mao Dou X launch event. Last week, Lu Liang had received an invitation from Yu Xiaobo, President of Tesla's operations in China, who had mentioned he'd like to see him there. "Two o'clock, at the exhibition center, got it." Lu Liang admired the views of Tongji University's campus, and casually picked up a watering can to water the plants. Suddenly, a figure dashed into the bathroom, to which he chuckled, "Slow down, don't be all sneaky." From the bathroom, Su Wanyu's voice rang out, "Okay~." Lu Liang twisted his waist, moving his limbs leisurely as he completed a set of Eight Pieces of Brocade exercises before heading to the main bathroom. After refreshing himself, as he just walked out the room, Su Wanyu, playing hide-and-seek, darted back into the bedroom and locked the door. She came out quickly this time, but her cheeks were flushed, and she seemed to avoid his gaze as if she suddenly didn't know how to interact with him. Lu Liang chuckled lightly and walked up behind her, closely embracing her waist, easing her into this new way of relating. "How about we go out and find something delicious to eat?" "Sounds good, there's a great rice noodle place at the corner." Su Wanyu's face lit up with joy, clinging to Lu Liang's arm, reclaiming that familiar feeling. "Should I get takeout instead?" Lu Liang suggested. "Why?" Su Wanyu looked puzzled, then her cheeks flushed suddenly, "You don't know the way, let me take you." Lu Liang caught her concerned glance, her cheeks bright red. Finally, she boldly stiffened her neck, a stubborn pride on her face: "No big deal, after all, I am the amazing creature who bleeds seven days a month and survives." "Impressive, impressive," Lu Liang couldn't help but applaud laughingly, then promptly received a firm Iron Lean Mountain hit. After breakfast, Lu Liang proposed a visit to the university, so Su Wanyu covered for him, sneaking him in. On the eve of National Day, Saturday make-up classes were in session, and as the couple strolled elegantly along the lakeside, passersby turned their heads to look. Lu Liang found it increasingly odd; despite being 30, his fitness routine and wealth ensured he appeared even younger than some scruffy, mature-looking students. It shouldn't look like a mismatched older man with a younger wife. Lu Liang was fine, so the problem had to revolve around Su Wanyu. Curious, Lu Liang asked, "Are you famous or something?" "Ah... don't mind them." With her face turning red, Su Wanyu dodged the question. Lu Liang grew more curious, "Aren't you from Shangwai? How do people here at Tongji recognize you?" With no way out, Su Wanyu responded sullenly, "There are forums for each school, but University City has its own forum." "Let me see." "There's nothing interesting to see." Su Wanyu furrowed her brows, clearly resistant, but she couldn't stop Lu Liang's tickling and eventually handed over her phone reluctantly. On the forum of the Central District in Modu's university precinct, there was a post gathering the most beautiful students from 14 institutions. Su Wanyu from Shangwai University's English department, also known as Su, ranked 19th among the top 20 beauties, and her entry photo even featured thick black-rimmed glasses. The forum's host commented: In a flowing emerald gown that flutters with the wind, she carries herself with a subdued elegance cool and detached, her natural beauty does not require makeup, hinting at the charm of Shangwai's very own Lin Daiyu. "This post is not updated," Lu Liang teased with a smile, "don't they know you don't wear glasses anymore?" "It's so annoying, can you just stop looking?" Su Wanyu blushed, making a clawing motion as she attempted to snatch back her phone. However, with a quick move, Lu Liang held her cheeks and kissed her several times, leaving her flustered and suddenly obedient. This also broke the hearts of countless onlookers secretly admiring her. Once the couple left the campus after their walk, several posts popped up on the forum such as "Su has transferred from Shangwai to Tongji, finally taken, how sad yet moving~" Approaching noon, after lunch, Lu Liang said, "I have things to attend to this afternoon, I will visit you again later." "Okay, bye, you go ahead," Su Wanyu smiled slightly, waving goodbye without a hint of reluctance visible on her face. Yet as she watched the car drive away, she stood dazed for a long time, her bright and clear eyes gradually misting over. Not out of sadness, nor a dip in spirits, but simply an indescribable feeling. ... At half-past one in the afternoon, Lu Liang arrived at the exhibition center as planned. He met Li Bing, Li Xiang, He Xiaopeng, and Jia Yuetting among other new energy vehicle founders. "Mao Dou X was released three years ago, constantly delayed and revised, only today it started accepting reservations." Li Bing approached with a smile, intending to remind Lu Liang that car manufacturing is a massive undertaking that requires patience. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Liang smiled faintly, looking at the conference slogan: To achieve sustainable transportation in the world as soon as possible. He suddenly found these new car-makers quite amusing, each shouting grand slogans, Old Jia proclaiming industry upheaval, Tesla wanting to transform into an energy conglomerate. As the saying goes, if you don't speak out, nothing gets done; to fool the market, you must first fool yourself. Or, stated more positively, it's about having a belief in the light, only then can you turn into a mighty superhero. Lu Liang asked with a smile, "Have you tried it?" Li Bing shook his head: "I just arrived." "Let's go check it out then." Following the staff, they went to a nearby test drive showroom to queue and experience it. The Mao Dou X is an SUV model, the center of gravity is lower than typical SUVs, resembling a BMW X6, a crossover between SUVs and sports cars. Aesthetically, it boasted two highlights; the first is the combined windshield and sunroof creating a "helicopter cockpit" view for the driver. The second is the gull-wing back doors utilizing dual hinge technology, allowing the doors to open even in tight, crowded spaces, more effective than sliding doors in saving space, and even more convenient. "The top model has a range of 480, in beast mode it accelerates to 100 km in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km per hour, it can be fully charged in an hour using Tesla's supercharging technology," Li Bing recited expertly. Lu Liang, seated inside, furrowed his brows: "I haven't tested the power yet, so I'm not sure, but the overall design is good, the only downside is the interior is too simple, to put it nicely it's minimalistic modern, less kindly, it's practically bare." This is a six-seater, three-row vehicle; the first row looks decent, but the second and third rows are hardly different from a Wuling Hongguang, honestly, the Hongguang feels more comfortable. Li Bing chuckled: "That's the 'sense of technology' for you." Lu Liang said: "Technology should be people-oriented. It shouldn't be difficult to fit some decent interior." Li Bing replied: "It's not hard, but the more minimalistic it is, the more classy it appears, anyway, fans will adapt." The adjacent staff's face darkened. As an employee of Tesla, they had their pride. This is a company at the forefront of the world; they could tolerate insults to their parents, but never to Tesla. Just as one was about to lose his temper and ask them to leave, he suddenly heard Lu Liang say: "Then how many are you planning to buy?" "I'll take three," Li Bing said with a laugh, always good to buy more to disassemble and study. "I'll buy one too, last time I drove an electric, it was a two-wheeler, would like to see how a four-wheeler feels." Amidst the laughter, the two of them reserved four Mao Dou X, with a base price of 978,000 and total on-road price over 1.1 million. The staff's eyes widened, a flattering smile appearing: "Gentlemen, let me take you to sign the contracts."
