After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

"Director Liao, long time no see."

Accompanied by Wang Chuting to Yihe Women and Children's Hospital, she went with the head nurse to handle the admission procedures, while Lu Liang chatted with the department director about the equipment donation.

He planned to donate a batch of equipment worth millions, specifying neither the items nor their prices, leaving it to the hospital to manage.

In essence, it was a donation of money.

However, involving monetary transactions could somewhat tarnish the reputation of the white coats, so it was changed to medical equipment donations.

This not only sounded better but also made operations more convenient for the hospital, and they would accept it without any psychological burden.

As a result, when the hospital directors and the superintendent learned about it, they rushed over, each with a radiant smile on their face.

"Chuting will be staying here for a few days, I'll leave her in your capable hands."

Lu Liang smiled warmly, showing no airs.

For such a distinguished business figure, this attitude was quite pleasing to the directors, prompting them to nod and bow quickly: "Mr. Lu, please rest assured, we have multiple physicians and caregivers on 24-hour shifts, providing meticulous care to every expectant mother is the mission of every Yihe person."

"Yihe has always been synonymous with the nation's best women and children's hospital, I'm naturally very reassured."

After chatting for over ten minutes, ending the business flattery, Lu Liang followed the medical staff to the ward where Wang Chuting was admitted.

The ward wasn't large, only 120 square meters, but it had a master bedroom, a living room, and even a study and bathroom, resembling an ordinary five-star hotel suite.

Fresh flowers, green plants, a small fish tank, and several unknown yet pleasing oil paintings adorned the space warmly, very much in the style of Wang Chuting's home.

She said proudly, "Of course, I started preparing the move in since I came for my prenatal check-up last week."

A week before the due date, at least a month after birth, meaning at least a 37-day stay here.

It's better to set it up nicely in advance for a comfortable stay later.

"The environment here is quite nice."

Lu Liang opened the living room window, revealing the hospital's small park outside, and further beyond, the national forest park.

One glance saw lush green, calming the mind, with sounds of insects and birds and the wind blowing through the leaves.

"Didn't you ask me to go to Xiangjiang before? Why the sudden change of plans?" Wang Chuting closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to savor the fresh air not found in the city.

The sun was harsh, but the suburban temperature was at least a few degrees cooler than the city, with a gentle breeze exuding a soothing charm.

"I feel for you, I don't want you to travel back and forth, plus our mom is coming over, which would be inconvenient in Xiangjiang."

Lu Liang showed a smile, standing behind Wang Chuting, with arms wrapped around her waist holding her pregnant belly.

Suddenly, there was a kick, the sensation quite pronounced.

"Even the baby doesn't believe your nonsense," Wang Chuting laughed brightly, but had no intention of probing further.

"By the way, have you decided what name our child should have?"

She was actually unwilling to go to Xiangjiang.

But listening to Lu Liang was unavoidable, so when she learned she didn't have to go, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because during this period, Lu Liang's intention to shift the financial industry was quite apparent, but Tianxing Automobile was different. No matter what he planned, it would be rooted in Su City, growing and prospering domestically.

This was an established fact that even with Lu Liang's high control over the company, he couldn't change.

Even if he wanted to leave, the country wouldn't permit it.

So her child, who was also Lu Liang's firstborn, might not be the only son, but as long as he was born and raised in the country, he would definitely inherit a share of the family estate.

On the other hand, going to Xiangjiang, only Lu Liang's financial industry was there, and he could relocate from Modu now, just as he could relocate from Xiangjiang in the future.

"Um... honestly, I haven't decided yet, you know that naming has never been my forte," Lu Liang appeared conflicted.

Wang Chuting's eyes lit up, snickering mischievously, "How about I suggest one?"

"Lu Chujun?"

"With time as the matchmaker, and the rest of my life as the betrothal, with your surname, you crown me with a name."

"What do you think? I've always felt this name sounds beautiful," Wang Chuting lowered her head, her palm covering the back of Lu Liang's hand.

Their fingers intertwined, caressing her pregnant belly, she gently said, "Junjun, move a little, tell your dad yourself."

Another clear fetal movement followed...

Wang Chuting was delighted, Lu Liang was surprised, showing a helpless but indulgent smile: "Alright then, from now on, it will be Lu Chujun."

"Yay, little Junjun..."

Wang Chuting squinted with a smile, caressing her pregnant belly, her face gradually revealing a silly grin.

Lu Liang was amused and helpless, thinking the name was just a symbol, and without ability, he could only be a wealthy young master leading a luxurious life.

After lunch, bidding farewell to Wang Chuting at the hospital, Lu Liang set off for the airport.

While waiting, he encountered Old Ma in the VIP lounge.

"Going to Xiangjiang?"

"Going to Xiangjiang?"

The two exchanged a glance, asking almost simultaneously, then both burst into laughter.

Old Ma knew that Tianxing Quantitative was about to be established, and there were rumors from the Hong Kong media that Tianxing Investment intended to acquire a skyscraper from Huaren Real Estate in Central.

Ever since Lu Liang knew about Ant's IPO plans, he had been inquiring about news, and found out that Ant Group would list simultaneously on the Hong Kong stock market and the STAR Market.

The STAR Market had just been established, and Ant Group's IPO plans had just begun, so timing-wise it should be feasible. If the review went smoothly, it was highly likely to be among the first batch.

It wasn't hard to guess Old Ma's intentions, probably looking to show support for the STAR Market, to curry favor with domestic financial regulators, and strive for a chance to list.

But since the STAR Market had not yet been implemented, and the distance between Modu and Hang City was so close, traveling by car or high-speed train was more convenient than flying.

So, seeing Old Ma at Puxin Airport at this time, he was likely heading to Xiangjiang to visit the responsible people at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

"What did you talk about with Director Zhao last night?" Ma Yun sat beside Lu Liang, munching on some snacks from the table.

"If I say it's difficult, would you give up?"

Lu Liang remained calm, sipping his coffee.

Ma Yun pondered for a moment, eyes firm, "No."

Unless the country intervened to halt it personally.

Otherwise, no matter what happened or what rumors spread, nothing could stop Ant's IPO.

He would do everything possible to push for Ant's IPO, aiming to complete the IPO plan before the regulators, fearing Western public opinion, became indecisive.

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

Lu Liang sighed softly, looking towards the quickly approaching personal manager, setting down his coffee cup: "Mr. Ma, I'll be off."

"Mr. Lu, take care," Ma Yun watched the receding figure, restraining the impulse to inquire further.

His decision was made, and nothing could change it even if the sky fell; pressing further was pointless.

After all, with things progressed to this point, even with only a 1% chance, he would certainly try.

Two hours later, news of Lu Liang and Ma Yun conversing at Xinpu Airport, and both appearing at Xiangjiang Airport successively, quietly reached the trending lists.

"Wow, how did these two end up together?"

"Could it be that Liangzi is involved in Ant Group's IPO?"

"Fun fact, Tianxing is moving towards investment banking, and Ant's pre-IPO valuation is 175 billion dollars, the number of IPO shares issued definitely isn't something a single contractor can handle, so Liangzi's involvement wouldn't be surprising."

Their meeting sparked endless speculation among netizens.

It was just that several popular science influencers suddenly realized that their articles or videos analyzing Old Ma's criticism of the Basel accords seemed to receive platform traffic support, or that those previously under review were suddenly approved.

A storm was quietly brewing targeting Old Ma and the Ant Group's IPO.
