After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 39: Luxury Car and Beautiful Woman

At three o'clock in the afternoon, President Liu was all smiles, standing at the door to see the two off.

Today was a good day, his branch had added US $7.86 million in foreign exchange, as well as a high-end client with assets over a hundred million.

On the way back, Lu Liang received a call from Tang Caide, who said that Zhang Chen had already arrived.

"I'll be right back."

Lu Liang simply parked the car at the entrance and called Tan Tao at the Peace Restaurant to come and drive it away.

Because he had also received a call from Li Yue earlier, all the transfer and registration procedures were done, and she was planning to drive it over.

With a new car, there was naturally no need to rent one anymore.

Inside the elevator, Lu Liang briefly parted ways with Meng Changkun.

When he returned to the company, he saw Zhang Chen and Shen Teng squatting on the ground, enthusiastically helping Chen Jinchun clean up discarded cardboard boxes.

Tang Caide smiled bitterly, as if saying she had advised them, but it was no use, Zhang Chen and Shen Teng insisted on helping.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Shen, I am very sorry. The company just opened yesterday, and our hospitality was not thorough; please forgive us," Lu Liang said.

"Mr. Lu, you are too kind. I just can't stand doing nothing; when Mr. Zhang saw me helping, he felt bad just standing by."

Shen Teng, true to his comedian nature, had a comedy talent, spoke with a slight northeastern accent, and brought laughter as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Tianxing Investment, with a space of 240 square meters, had only two partitions, one was Lu Liang's office, and the other was the meeting room.

A few people entered the meeting room, Zhang Chen brought out the prepared contract, and Tang Caide was responsible for proofreading the details.

Half an hour later, Tang Caide conducted the third check and then looked at Lu Liang, "Mr. Lu, the contract is fine, but there is one thing, I don't know if you have understood it beforehand."

There was an additional clause: if the movie gets good public praise and box office on its first day of release, the Mahua Team has the right to properly increase the promotion costs with the film distribution company, up to 300% of the production cost.

They could choose to invest more, or not.

If they invested more, the shareholding ratio would remain the same; if not, the shareholding ratio would be reduced according to the increase in cost.

Zhang Chen, afraid that Lu Liang would misunderstand, hurriedly explained, "Mr. Lu, this additional clause exists in all movies."

Before, movies did not have this additional clause, but ever since "Heartbreak 33 Days" made a whopping 350 million box office with only 5 million in promotion funds, becoming that year's dark horse and ranking eighth in the annual box office...

Since then, practitioners started realizing that even if the wine is sweet, it may need a push down the alley—promotions are as important as the quality of the work.

"This is good news," Lu Liang smiled. "I'm looking forward to the day when you increase the promotion costs to 60 million."

Excluding those films made for laundering money, higher subsequent promotion costs indicate greater potential for box office.

After all, the distributors are not fools.

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Mr. Lu."

Seeing Lu Liang signing his name, stamping the official seal, and instructing Tang Caide to run to the bank to transfer the funds later...

Zhang Chen's hanging heart finally relaxed, the last bit of funding was also collected, and they could officially start shooting next week.

He felt an urge to cry.

These days had been too difficult.

While chatting, Lu Liang's phone rang again, Li Yue informed him that she had already arrived at Yongfeng Building.

"Okay, I'll come down immediately," Lu Liang replied, and seeing this, Zhang Chen said, "Mr. Lu, you go ahead with your tasks, we'll leave first."

"It's also time for me to go downstairs; let me see you out," Lu Liang went down with Zhang Chen and Shen Teng.

As they just left the building, they witnessed an extremely glamorous scene.

A young woman in OL attire, her pure appearance greatly contrasting with her fiery figure.

She stood tall and chest forward, the tightly stretched buttons at her chest seeming like they could burst open at any moment.

Below her short skirt were legs no less professional than those of a model, wearing pointed Valentino heels, her calves straight, her stature in heels likely around 173 cm.

If it were an ordinary day, wherever she went, she would surely attract countless men and women's eyes.

But now, she stood next to a Lamborghini, its yellow paint emitting a holy light under the sunlight, its tough lines creating a highly aggressive visual impact.

A beautiful woman pales in comparison to such an artwork.

Seeing Lu Liang, Li Yue approached with a full-faced smile, jogging up with documents and car keys in hand.

Lu Liang slightly nodded, signaling her to wait a moment.

He bade farewell to Zhang Chen and Shen Teng, "Gentlemen, I have things to handle, so I won't see you out."

"Sure, sure, Mr. Lu, you are busy, we'll leave," Shen Teng said, unable to take his eyes off the car, while Zhang Chen grabbed him, pulling him directly into a taxi.

Shen Teng lingered, unable to resist turning back for a few more glances, "A Lamborghini Urus, at least 3 million."

"Don't be envious, as long as our movie box office crosses 100 million, I'll personally sponsor you 500,000," Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Damn, could the layout be any smaller? I thought you were going to gift me one," Shen Teng said with a look of disdain.

"Even if the box office hits 100 million, how much do I really make? 500,000 is quite a lot already, buddy," Zhang Chen retorted irritably.

"Think bigger, set your sights further, like setting a small goal of ten billion in box office revenue," Shen Teng joked.

"If we actually hit ten billion in box office, not just a Lamborghini, I'd even get you a Rolls-Royce," Zhang Chen replied.

"I'll remember you said that."

"Come to me when it reaches 10 billion."

The two looked at each other and laughed, neither taking the conversation seriously.

After all, it was their company's first produced movie. They just hoped to break even, and making a little profit would be even better.

...

Seeing that Lu Liang was ready to finalize, Li Yue put her palm over the document and playfully blinked, "Mr. Lu, don't you want to test drive it first to see if there's anything amiss that needs immediate feedback?"

Lu Liang sized her up, his gaze finally falling on her long, high heels, revealing a mischievous smile, "Did you come alone?"

Li Yue shot him a coy glance, with a hint of coquetry in her tone, "Of course, it's just me alone, who else would there be?"

"Can you drive with heels that high?" Lu Liang suddenly asked coldly, but a teasing light flickered in his eyes.

Startled, Li Yue hurriedly opened her purse, revealing a pair of flat sandals.

In her hurry, she forgot about a box of brand-new chewing gum inside, its blue packaging turning to light purple in the sunlight.

Lu Liang's lips slightly curved, he took his seat in the driver's position and gestured with his hand, "Let's go for a drive, see how comfy this car is."

Hearing 'comfort,' Li Yue glanced at him accusingly, seemingly blaming Lu Liang for scaring her just now, and stepped into the car with her long legs.

A V8 twin-turbo engine, 3.6 seconds to 100 km/h, and the thrust felt from pressing the pedal was second to none to a supercar.

Leaving the city and entering the highway, Lu Liang accelerated to feel the powerful surge as they headed east towards the coastline.

The closer they got to East Sea, the fewer pedestrians and vehicles there were on the road, and the Lamborghini Urus gradually slowed down.

"Mr. Lu, why are you taking me to such a secluded place?"

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Li Yue's words sounded worried, but she confidently thrust out her chest, proudly displaying her décolletage.

"In the middle of nowhere, just the two of us, what do you think?"

Lu Liang's lips curled, eyes fixed on the road ahead, and his other hand rested on the smooth thigh.

Gradually moving upwards, reached something like a string.

Further up, touching the tightly stretched buttons on the front of her blouse.

A little force and the buttons flew off, revealing a glimpse of springtime.

"Mr. Lu, be careful."

The car sped up, leaving the main road,

and entered a rural dirt path.

The car stopped, raised its suspension,

and started rocking rhythmically...

until the sun set, and a crack opened in the sunroof.

Li Yue turned on her phone's flashlight, took out a wet wipe to carefully clean up, her nose still covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"Mr. Lu, this is a new car, you know."

She glared playfully at him, checked everything again, and finally took off her torn stockings, rolling them up and putting them in her bag.

"So what?"

Lu Liang looked up at the star-filled sky.

One-handedly bouncing a basketball, too big to be held in one hand.

"It's strange, but when I see you, I get a very special feeling," Li Yue clung to Lu Liang's arm.

"Me too, and upon thinking about it, you look a bit like my ex-girlfriend," Lu Liang replied, smirking as they exchanged acting skills.

"Really? I felt something like that just now. Do you think this could be us being kindred spirits?"

"Definitely." Lu Liang embraced Li Yue, and they rested inside the car for a while before setting off on their return journey.

Upon returning to the city area and reaching Li Yue's residence, she pulled out the delivery slip, "Mr. Lu, if there's a follow-up call, remember to give me a good review, okay? And if you have any more car purchasing needs, you can contact me."

"No problem," Lu Liang said with a smile, always having great respect for ambitious and hard-working girls.
