After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 711 A New Storm Is Brewing
"Director Liao, it's been a long time."

Lu Liang brought Wang Chuting to Yihe Maternal and Child Hospital. She went with the head nurse to complete the admission procedures, while Lu Liang talked to the department director about the equipment donation.

He plans to donate a batch of equipment worth tens of millions of yuan; the hospital can handle the specifics and prices themselves.

To put it bluntly, it's about donating money.

However, since financial transactions would inevitably bring shame to the medical profession, the donation was changed to medical equipment.

This way, it not only sounds good, but it also makes it easier for the hospital to operate, and they won't feel guilty about keeping it.

So much so that when the hospital's leaders and the hospital director learned of it, they rushed over, their faces beaming with bright smiles.

"Please take care of Chu Ting during her stay here."

Lu Liang wore a smile and showed no airs whatsoever.

The attitude of this powerful capital tycoon pleased the executives greatly, who quickly bowed and scraped: "Mr. Lu, please rest assured, we have many doctors and caregivers on duty 24 hours a day. Providing meticulous care to every new mother is the mission of every Yihe employee."

"Yihe Hospital has always been synonymous with the best maternal and child health hospitals in the country, so I am naturally very reassured."

After a ten-minute conversation, ending with mutual flattery, Lu Liang followed the medical staff to Wang Chuting's ward.

The ward is not large, only 120 square meters, but it has a master bedroom, a living room, a study, and a bathroom, just like a typical five-star hotel suite.

Fresh flowers, green plants, a small fish tank, and a few oil paintings that are hard to describe but quite beautiful—the decor is very cozy and has the style of Wang Chuting's home.

She said proudly, "Of course! I started preparing to check in last week when I came for my prenatal checkup."

One week before the due date, and at least one month postpartum, meaning you'll need to stay here for at least 37 days.

It's better to prepare in advance so that you'll be more comfortable living there later.

"The environment here is quite nice."

Lu Liang opened the living room window. Outside was the hospital's small park, and further away was the national forest park.

As far as the eye can see, everything is lush and green. If you calm down, you can hear the chirping of insects and birds, and the wind rustling through the leaves.

"Didn't you want me to go to Hong Kong before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Wang Chuting closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the fresh air that was absent in the city.

The sun was blazing, but the temperature in the suburbs was at least a few degrees lower than in the city, and the gentle breeze was intoxicating.

"I feel sorry for you and don't want you to travel back and forth. Besides, Mom is coming too, and it's not convenient if we stay in Hong Kong."

Lu Liang smiled and stood behind Wang Chuting, his arms wrapped around her waist and cradling her pregnant belly.

I was suddenly kicked, and the sensation was very noticeable.

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

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

She actually didn't want to go to Hong Kong.

But he had no choice but to listen to Lu Liang, so when he learned that he didn't have to go, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, Lu Liang's intention to shift his financial industry was very obvious, but Tianxing Auto was different. No matter what he planned to do in the future, he would only take root in Suzhou and only flourish in China.

This is an established fact that Lu Liang cannot change, even with his high degree of control over the company.

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

So her child, Lu Liang's eldest son, may not be his only male heir, but as long as he is born and raised in his country, he will definitely have a guaranteed family fortune in the future.

On the other hand, if he goes to Hong Kong, the only thing there is Lu Liang's financial business. He can move from Shanghai now, and he can naturally move from Hong Kong in the future.

"Um... I haven't really decided yet. You know, naming things has never been my strong suit." Lu Liang looked conflicted.

Wang Chuting's eyes lit up, and she chuckled mischievously, "How about I recommend one?"

"Lu Chujun?"

"Time is the matchmaker, the rest of my life is the betrothal gift, and I will use your surname to crown my name."

"Is it good? I've always thought this name sounds nice." Wang Chuting lowered her head, placing her hand on the back of Lu Liang's hand. The two intertwined their fingers, stroking the pregnant belly, and she said softly, "Junjun, move a little, and tell your father yourself."

Another clear fetal movement...

Wang Chuting was delighted, while Lu Liang was surprised, his face showing a helpless indulgence: "Alright then, from now on, you'll be called Lu Chujun."

"Yay, little Junjun..."

Wang Chuting smiled, her eyes crinkling, as she stroked her pregnant belly, a silly grin gradually spreading across her face.

Lu Liang was both amused and exasperated. A name was just a label; without ability, one could only be a rich young master who lived a life of comfort and luxury.

After lunch, Lu Liang said goodbye to Wang Chuting at the hospital and headed to the airport.

While waiting for his flight, he ran into Lao Ma in the VIP lounge.

"To Hong Kong?"

"To Hong Kong?"

The two looked at each other, asked the same question almost simultaneously, and then both laughed.

Old Ma knew that Tianxing Quant was about to be established, and there were also reports from Hong Kong media that Tianxing Investment planned to acquire a building in Central owned by Chinese Estates Holdings.

Since learning that Ant Group had launched its IPO plan, Lu Liang had asked around and learned that Ant Group would be listed simultaneously on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market.

The Science and Technology Innovation Board has just been approved, and Ant Group's listing plan has just been launched. In terms of time, it should be in time. If the review goes smoothly, it is very likely to become one of the first batch.

It's not hard to guess that Ma did this in order to curry favor with domestic financial regulators by supporting the Science and Technology Innovation Board and to try to secure a listing opportunity.

However, the Science and Technology Innovation Board has not yet been finalized, and Shanghai and Hangzhou are so close that taking a car or high-speed rail is more convenient than flying.

So when Lao Ma appeared at Puxin Airport at this time, he was probably going to Hong Kong to visit the head of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

"What did you and Director Zhao talk about last night?" Ma Yun asked, sitting next to Lu Liang and eating some snacks on the table.

If I tell you it's too difficult, will you give up?

Lu Liang remained calm, sipping his coffee.

Ma Yun hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "No."

Unless the government intervenes and personally calls for a halt.

Otherwise, no matter what happens or what rumors circulate, nothing can stop Ant Group's IPO.

He will do everything in his power to push Ant Group to go public, and complete the listing plan before regulators hesitate due to concerns about Western public opinion.

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

Lu Liang sighed softly, looked at his personal manager who was walking quickly towards him, and put down his coffee cup: "Mr. Ma, I'll be going now."

"Mr. Lu, take care." Ma Yun watched the receding figure, suppressing the urge to ask further questions.

His mind is made up, and nothing can change it, no matter how hard you try to get to the bottom of it.

Given how things have developed, even if there's only a 1% chance, he'll definitely try.

Two hours later, news of Lu Liang and Ma Yun talking at Xinpu Airport and then appearing at Hong Kong Airport quietly became a trending topic.

"Holy crap, how did these two get together?"

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

"Fun fact: Tianxing is developing in the direction of investment banking. Ant Group's valuation was $1750 billion before its IPO. The number of shares issued in the IPO is definitely not something a single contractor can handle, so it's not surprising that Liangzi is involved."

The meeting between the two sparked much speculation among netizens.

However, several popular science bloggers suddenly discovered that their articles or videos analyzing Lao Ma's criticism of the Basel Accords seemed to be receiving traffic support from the platform, or that they were previously under review but were suddenly unblocked.

A storm is quietly brewing targeting Jack Ma and Ant Group's IPO.
