After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 669 The Magic Cube Returns to the Heart
That night, Lu Liang did not stay overnight at the club. After having a spa treatment, he said goodbye to Lao Meng and left.

He returned to the city, but instead of going to Wang Chuting's house, he went to Greentown Puwan where Su Wanyu lived.

I haven't seen my daughter for a while, but judging from Su Wanyu's posts on WeChat Moments these past few days, the little one seems to be walking already.

It was past midnight when they got home. Although it was late and Su Wanyu usually went to bed early, the little one clearly hadn't developed that good habit yet.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the clear sound of bells coming from the nursery. Lu Liang's lips curled up into a gentle smile.

This is a custom in their hometown; when a child can walk, a small bell is put on her wrist.

According to feudal superstition, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but Lu Liang felt that its main function was to prevent theft.

Because children are full of curiosity about the world, especially after they can walk, they always want to use their legs to measure every inch of the place.

Parents cannot always pay attention to their children, so wearing a small silver bell can help them locate sounds by sound.

Lu Liang tiptoed into the nursery and saw through the crack in the door that Su Wanyu was lying on the carpet like a young girl.

She rested her chin on her hands, swinging her legs up and down, seemingly negotiating with the little one who was sometimes crawling and sometimes walking: "Baby, aren't you sleepy yet? Mommy's so sleepy~"

"Kun Kun~~"

The little guy smiled broadly, showing his gums.

She can't speak yet, but she has already learned to imitate the last sound of every sentence an adult utters.

The little guy, dragging a plush rabbit, wobbled over to Su Wanyu and then climbed directly onto her back.

Su Wanyu was overjoyed. She turned over, hugged the little one in her arms, gently patted his bottom, and hummed a lullaby to help him fall asleep.

She gently tugged at the little guy's toy rabbit, as if she were filming a spy movie.

If you can't pull it off, it means you're not asleep yet, so keep patting your bottom until you can easily pull the doll off.

Su Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, carefully picked up the little one, and planned to put him back in the crib.

She seemed to suddenly be overwhelmed by maternal love, staring at the little guy's chubby cheeks, a silly smile spreading across her face.

The voice was very soft, but Lu Liang still heard it: "This little thing, it's actually my child?"

Lu Liang chuckled and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Su Wanyu jolted awake, and the little guy almost woke up.

She quickly patted her little bottom, then turned her head and gave Lu Liang a coquettish glare.

She carefully placed the baby back in the crib after the little one had fallen into a deep sleep, left a soft light on, and closed the door.

"Do you really think you can give birth on your own?"

Lu Liang put his arm around Su Wanyu's neck; their relationship was becoming more and more like that of an old married couple.

Su Wanyu snorted and punched Lu Liang in the chest with her elbow: "When did you get back?"

"I went to Hong Kong a few days ago and returned to Shanghai at noon."

Lu Liang held her in his arms, lying straight on the sofa, his large hand holding her small hand, playing with her slender fingers: "Where are the two aunties?"

“Aunt Liu has taken the day off these past few days. I told Aunt Zhang to go back to her room and rest first, since she has to watch over Siqing in the middle of the night.”

Su Wanyu shook her feet, kicked off her slippers, wrapped her arms around Lu Liang's waist, and curled up in his arms.

She suddenly blushed and muttered softly, "I think I'm pregnant again."

Lu Liang was delighted and pressed for an answer: "When did this happen?"

"Not entirely sure yet."

She should have had her period last week, but she didn't.

However, it's also possible that he's been busy with his doctoral dissertation lately, to the point of physiological imbalance.

"A beautiful and academically gifted woman from Tongji University, writing a doctoral dissertation is a piece of cake for her, of course."

Lu Liang smiled and gave him a big kiss: "Then I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."

He treats all children the same, because no matter who their mother is, he is always their father.

Although they won't be forced to take over the family business, with so many children, there will definitely be one or two who are interested in doing business.

Su Wanyu hummed in agreement and sighed deeply: "It hurts so much. I think I said I wouldn't have any more children."

“Saying it is one thing, but doing it is another. Isn’t that normal?” Lu Liang said with a smile.

"Don't be so ungrateful for getting a good deal." Su Wanyu covered her lower abdomen, her eyes full of anticipation; she hoped it was a boy.

The next morning, Lu Liang drove Su Wanyu to a private high-end maternal and child hospital in the suburbs of Puxin.

He came once before the Lunar New Year, with Wang Chuting. Now he's come again with Su Wanyu.

Although the doctor was still the same doctor, he was a worldly man and acted as if he were meeting Lu Liang for the first time.

After a series of tests were completed, the medical report came out twenty minutes later, confirming that Su Wanyu was indeed pregnant, currently three weeks along.

Lu Liang counted the days; during that time, they were indeed very active, hoping to give the little one a younger brother or sister.

However, the doctor said that the sex of the fetus could not be determined until about five more weeks later.

Lu Liang didn't care, since men and women were the same.

If a girl has a talent for business, he will wholeheartedly cultivate it, just like Lao Ren's daughter.

Two weeks have passed with no new developments in the case, which means she has held on. What follows is a protracted battle.

"I hope it's a boy."

Su Wanyu looked very serious.

It's not that I don't like girls, it's just that having both a son and a daughter is every parent's wish.

Lu Liang chuckled: "Don't be too demanding about these things. If you have too high expectations, I always feel that you will be disappointed."

"Your appearance reflects your heart, and your wishes will come true." Su Wanyu suddenly clenched her small fist, her eyes as firm as if she were joining the Party.

"She's almost a female PhD, and she's still so superstitious."

Lu Liang was both amused and exasperated. He patted her head and said, "Let's go eat. I have some business to attend to at the company this afternoon." After lunch, Lu Liang took Su Wanyu home and then drove to the private equity firm.

Sun Yutao ended his vacation and returned to the company early, already preparing for tomorrow's fourth phase settlement.

"The news of Tianxing's establishment of a quantitative fund has spread, and almost all the investors who could come this time have come."

He was compiling the list of invitees, and he could foresee that tomorrow would be a large-scale event.

With leaders from major domestic and international organizations flocking to the event, it is bound to attract the attention of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

Although Lu Liang didn't take them seriously, in other people's eyes, they were all walking fathers of gold.

A few million dollars slipping through their fingers could change the fate of them and their businesses.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Notify the building's security to strengthen management and prevent unauthorized personnel from sneaking in."

A chance encounter orchestrated by the company brought in millions of dollars in investment, turning the company from the brink of bankruptcy into a thriving enterprise and allowing investors to reap hundreds of times their initial investment.

Such cases do exist, but they only occurred a little over a decade ago.

As the domestic economy improves, the barriers to entry in various industries are also increasing.

Unless there is an irreplaceable and unreplicable core technology, large enterprises can copy it at any time.

As venture capitalists, they tend to invest in projects by experienced entrepreneurs or large corporations.

Unless one can be like Lu Liang and rely on foresight into the financial market, the rise of ordinary people is already a legend.

Even if we assume that the institutional representatives who came this time were all looking to get a piece of the pie in quantitative funds, they had no interest in anything else.

While Lu Liang was talking with Sun Yutao, Xu Jiawei knocked on the door and announced, "President Lu, President Sun, President Liang from Huanfang is here."

"Take him to the reception room next door. I'll be there in a bit."

Lu Liang gave Sun Yutao a few final instructions, then went to the reception room next door. Upon seeing Liang Wenhui, he suddenly smiled.

Lu Liang couldn't help but advise, "Wenhui, you have a long life ahead of you, so you should be a little more restrained."

With heavy dark circles under his eyes, sunken eye sockets, and slightly pale lips, he looked every bit the product of excessive indulgence.

Liang Wenhui was taken aback, then laughed and cried at the same time: "Brother Liang, Miss Fan went to America the day before yesterday."

He was very grateful to Lu Liang because after that day, Fan Bingqing received an audition invitation from DC Studio for the female lead.

So much so that on her last night before leaving the country, she was incredibly passionate, transforming into a beautiful serpent and actively exploring numerous positions.

However, three days have passed since Fan Bingqing left the country, and the reason he still looks so listless is simply because he has been dealing with the handover work of Magic Square Quantization these past few days.

After the disappearance of Magic Square Quantitative, it vanished from the A-share market, only to be reborn as Tianxing Quantitative to conquer the international market. There are always some clean-up tasks that he needs to handle personally.

But with time running out and the task being heavy, he had no choice but to work overtime through the night, and finally finished by morning.

Lu Liang gave an awkward smile, skipped the topic, and brought up the management scale of tens of billions of US dollars, raising it to two hundred billion US dollars.

He asked with a smile, "In that case, Tianxing International Quantitative Fund's initial returns would be $600 million."

"The reason I called you here today is to ask if Magic Cube Technology still has the funds to continue research and development."

"If not, then reserve one hundred million US dollars, and divide the remaining five hundred million US dollars among ourselves."

Tianxing Quant holds a 73% stake, meaning Tianxing will receive 350 million yuan and Huanfang will receive 150 million yuan.

Liang Wenhui was astonished and found it unbelievable: "They haven't even started yet, and they're already thinking about splitting the money. Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?" Lu Liang asked with a smile. He always did this; once the money arrived, he would immediately split it.

If we don't split the profits this time, others might worry whether Tianxing Quantitative can replicate the success of its private equity fund.

"Forehead……"

Liang Wenhui was speechless. Thinking of Lu Liang, even the most abnormal things seemed quite normal now.

He said, "Fantasy Quant has just completed its settlement. We don't lack R&D funds for the time being, but we lack foreign exchange."

"Okay, we'll split it once the money arrives."

Lu Liang paused for a few seconds, then said, "If you have some spare cash, you can keep it for now."

Tomorrow will be the settlement date for the fourth round of private equity investment. The third round will expire in February next year, and the fifth round will likely be launched in the spring of next year.

If Liang Wenhui is interested in subscribing, Lu Liang can reserve a portion for him.

"Brother Liang... I don't know how to say this..."

Liang Wenhui was taken aback, hesitated, and suddenly had the thought that a scholar would die for one who understands him.

Although he also works in private equity, he still understands the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

In market terms, this is called risk hedging.

"We're all friends, there's no need to be so formal."

Lu Liang put his arm around Liang Wenhui's shoulder and told him about a few things he had done in the past few days: "After all, we are outsiders and we are all busy with our own things, so I found someone to take charge. His name is Li Junwei, who was the vice president of HSBC at the time."

"Brother Liang, you can handle this. You know I'm not interested in this."

Liang Wenhui was distracted, already figuring out how many GPUs $1.5 million could buy and how much computing power it could increase.

With this foreign exchange fund, the large-scale domestic artificial intelligence (AI) model that he has been longing for may soon be unveiled.

Lu Liang chuckled: "There's something you should still be concerned about. I plan to send our company's CEO, Tang Caidie, to Tianxing Quantitative's finance department to take on the role concurrently. It would be best if Huanfang also sent a deputy director to oversee it."

He added, "Personal relationships are one thing, but when it comes to business, the amounts must be clearly defined. This is better for everyone."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go there."

Liang Wenhui nodded and immediately stated, "However, our people should mainly play a supervisory role. The finance department's authority should be kept simple, with Director Tang taking the lead."

"Okay, then we'll do it your way." Lu Liang smiled, his eyes crinkling with satisfaction at Liang Wenhui's attitude.

Although we weren't able to fully bring him under our control, our relationship is pretty much what it used to be.

Liang Wenhui understood the priorities.

　That's all, more at 3 PM tomorrow.
