After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 761 I'm your brother, I'll protect you from now on.

"You should take a taxi home; I won't see you off."

After lunch, Lu Liang told Zhuo Yifan to take a taxi back to Tianxing Park by himself, as he had other things to take care of.

The matters in Suzhou have been mostly resolved; all that's left is for him to come over on the 18th to host the new car launch and the financing meeting on the 20th.

Before leaving Suzhou, Lu Liang planned to visit the Wharf Garden residential complex to say goodbye to Li Manli, since he had been staying at her place for the past few days.

"Oh dear, why are you back so early today?"

When Li Manli saw Lu Liang on the monitor, she ended her live stream early and skipped out to greet him with joyful steps.

"I finished all my business and happened to be nearby, so I came back to see you." Lu Liang smiled, put his arm around Li Manli's shoulder, and a faint fragrance wafted towards them.

Li Manli is 22 years old this year. She is wealthy and has gradually learned to take care of herself and stay fit. Her temperament and demeanor are no longer what they were when we first met three years ago.

Money can make a person, and now she is no less impressive than those socialites in Hong Kong.

"Okay then." Li Manli felt a pang of disappointment.

Because he understood the unspoken meaning, Lu Liang knew that once his official business was finished, it meant he should leave.

She naively thought that with Tianxing Motors settling in Suzhou, Lu Liang would stay in Suzhou for a longer period of time, so she also chose to settle in Suzhou.

But it seemed like fate was playing a joke on her. Ever since she settled in Suzhou, Lu Liang, though he didn't stay in Shanghai for long, went to Hong Kong instead.

Lu Liang noticed Li Manli's emotional fluctuations, suddenly pulled her into his arms, held her hand, and whispered, "Our efforts now are all for our future."

"But you're already so rich." After hesitating for a long time, Li Manli couldn't help but ask what was on her mind.

"They have money, but their foundation is unstable."

Lu Liang hesitated, then suddenly looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, as if the bitterness within him was something he could not express to outsiders.

Li Manli looked worried and didn't know how to comfort Lu Liang. Suddenly, she saw her two kittens and smiled brightly. She hugged Lu Liang and posed like a penguin.

She smiled and said, "Brother Liang, you just go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. Look, I have two little cuties, Coal Ball and Yarn Ball, at home to keep me company."

Li Manli has read many books, which contain many stories that say that successful people all have to go through a period of darkness and loneliness that is difficult for ordinary people to experience.

The more successful Lu Liang becomes, the more experiences he will have. If you love him, don't put any pressure on him or cause him any trouble.

“I can understand why it’s called Coal Ball, since its head is gray, but why is it called Ball of Yarn?” Lu Liang smiled as he looked at the two cats rubbing against his trouser legs on the ground.

"She is a Maine Coon cat with very long fur. If she doesn't groom it for two days, it will become as messy as a ball of yarn."

Li Manli smiled, picked up the kitten from the ground, pointed at Lu Liang and said, "This is Daddy."

"It feels really nice to touch." Lu Liang smiled and patted the cat's head. He stayed with Li Manli for half an hour before leaving.

Young girls are easy to coax. Although he knows that using vulgar language is a bad habit, he's gotten more and more used to it.

The vehicle entered the intercity expressway, and an hour later, Lu Liang arrived at the New International Building in Shanghai.

After three years, Tianxing Investment is about to relocate. The company now only has a few dozen staff members stationed there, while the majority have gone to Hong Kong to assist with the relocation process.

Financial professionals are very self-aware; they know where their high benefits and high salaries come from—it's purely because they joined Tianxing.

So when they learned that the majority of the company's staff would be moving to Hong Kong to work, and that only about 20% of the staff would remain, almost no one disagreed.

After all, if they switch companies, they can't guarantee that they will still have such high benefits and treatment in the future.

Finance is an industry that requires its own resources the most, but Tianxing Investment is an exception because Lu Liang doesn't need them.

High pay, low workload, close to home.

That's the best interpretation of Tianxing in the past.

Although it's far from home now, it's not unacceptable.

Tang Caidie remains in Hong Kong, and the company is currently being managed by Li Yizhou. Lu Liang is discussing personnel transfers and subsequent arrangements with him.

Suddenly there was a knock on the office door. Chen Jinchun peeked out from the crack and cautiously asked, "Mr. Lu, what am I supposed to do now...?"

Seeing that Li Yizhou was also there, she stopped talking abruptly, blushing as she said, "President Lu, President Li, I'm sorry to bother you, I... I'll come back later."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, I didn't keep a good eye on Assistant Chen." Xu Jiawei stood behind Chen Jinchun, his face full of helplessness, with a fleeting hint of doting in his eyes.

After all, who could say 'no' to employee number 003, the mascot of Tianxing, the cute girl with a big mouth and round face who swallowed a dragon fruit in one gulp?

"Stop! Come back!" Lu Liang shouted.

"Oh~" Chen Jinchun lowered her head and walked to the desk with small, shuffling steps like a quail, just like a student waiting for a teacher to scold her.

"That's settled then, you can go now."

Hearing Lu Liang's words, Li Yizhou nodded and couldn't help but smile as he passed by Chen Jinchun.

Hearing the door close, Lu Liang didn't respond for a long time; the only sound in the office was the heating of the kettle.

Chen Jinchun secretly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Liang, revealing a weak, helpless, and pitiful expression: "President Lu, I just want to ask, where should I go?" Since Tianxing Financial announced its relocation to Hong Kong, personnel transfer orders for various departments of Tianxing in Shanghai have begun to be issued one after another.

From marketing to finance, from research to legal affairs, from operations to administration, there have been changes in personnel in all departments to varying degrees.

She alone seemed to be outside the Five Elements and the Six Realms, watching helplessly as her former friends departed one by one.

When asked, Li Yizhou said he hadn't decided yet. When asked, Tang Caidie told her to go directly to Lu Liang.

So she came.

Do you have any plans for the future?

Lu Liang smiled, intending to do the same as he had with Zhuo Yifan, and question Chen Jinchun.

"What plan?" Xiao Chen looked blank. He had been with the company for more than three years, but his eyes were still as clear as a college student's.

Lu Liang's smile vanished abruptly. He was so angry that he choked on his tea and couldn't help but cough repeatedly.

"Mr. Lu, don't drink water too fast."

Xiao Chen looked worried and quickly pulled out a few tissues, handing them to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang's eyes were unfriendly. He took another sip of tea, paused for a while, and thought seriously for a long time before changing his words to something Xiao Chen could understand: "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? For example, you're so popular online, why not start your own studio or something?"

Xiao Chen frowned, racking his brains, and under Lu Liang's expectant gaze, he shook his head very honestly: "No!"

Lu Liang took a deep breath, patted his chest, and forced himself to calm down.

He gradually revealed a kind smile: "Xiao Chen, from this moment on, let's not talk about business. I'm not your boss, and you're not my employee. Just tell me, how have I treated you?"

"good, very good."

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen realized that not only Tang Caidie had told her she was lucky, but she herself often felt very lucky.

Right after graduation, I met Lu Liang at my first company. In just three years, I owned a car and a house in Shanghai, and had a high-paying and happy job.

"Is it like a brother to a sister?" Lu Liang coaxed gently.

Xiao Chen nodded happily, "Yes, it looks just like it!"

"Would you be willing to call me 'brother'?" Lu Liang asked. Xiao Chen was taken aback: "Is that okay?"

“Sure,” Lu Liang said with a smile.

"elder brother……"

Xiao Chen spoke cautiously, the words just coming out of his mouth.

Lu Liang suddenly raised his hand, and a fierce roasted chestnut landed on Xiao Chen's forehead in an instant.

Xiao Chen was stunned.

Only after realizing what was happening did he let out a painful howl.

Lu Liang smiled, his eyes crinkling, a look of satisfaction on his face: "Finally, that was satisfying."

A boss can't hit an employee, but a brother can hit his sister.

Lu Liang laughed and said, "I've made my words so obvious, are you a pig? How come you didn't understand? Just do whatever you want, I'll support you."

"But...but there's nothing I want to do." Xiao Chen covered his forehead, looking aggrieved and almost crying.

When she joined Tianxing, she only wanted to interview for a receptionist position. It was Lu Liang who insisted that she become an assistant, so she accepted the job.

Later, they felt she wasn't suitable, so they made her do odd jobs, where she just sat at her desk and spaced out every day. Only later did she develop her own media career.

She had no ideas of her own, nor did she care to. She did whatever Lu Liang told her to do. Why should she have her own ideas?
“Some people are just not meant to be managed; you can’t force them.” Xiao Chen’s shoulders trembled, and tears streamed down her face.

Lu Liang was speechless for a moment, flustered and hurriedly handed over a tissue: "Okay, okay, stop crying, stop crying. From now on, you can take your team members to work in the publicity department of Tianxing Auto."

"Oh~" Xiao Chen responded, silently wiping away her tears.

"Let's wait a bit and go out later, so that others won't misunderstand," Lu Liang said.

"Oh~" Xiao Chen responded again, expressionless, looking like he was about to break off his friendship with Lu Liang.

"Have a piece of candy, don't be angry. I'm still your brother, I'll protect you from now on." Lu Liang chuckled.

Xiao Chen looked up, his dim eyes suddenly brightening: "Really?"

"Even pearls aren't that real." Lu Liang smiled, his eyes showing no lust, only doting affection.

"Let's pinky swear." Little Chen stretched out his short hand, looking very serious.

"Fine, I'll do it."
