After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 810 Silence Means Acquisition

"Mr. Ma, you were too impulsive."

Daqiangzi frowned. This abnormal retirement situation should absolutely not be publicized. The best way to handle it is to quietly complete the personnel replacement within the group.

However, if Lao Ma portrays himself as a tragic hero with such righteous indignation, where does that leave domestic regulation?

This is tantamount to announcing to the world that there are hidden reasons behind his retirement, and that he was most likely persecuted by relevant departments.

"What's the point of trying?" Lu Liang shook his head and sighed, then asked, "Want to go grab a late-night snack?"

"They're leaving already?" Da Qiangzi was taken aback. Although there's a saying that people get cold once they leave, the person hadn't even left yet.

Lu Liang said, "You've already given your support, what are you still doing here? Do you have a lover who hasn't come on stage yet?"

"Do you think I'm like you? I almost got skinned alive in that Mingzhou incident," Daqiangzi said irritably.

"Who told you you couldn't control Xiao Liu?" Lu Liang chuckled, teasing, "Did you get scared out of your wits?"

"You're the one who's exhausted. There's a meeting tomorrow morning, so you'd better not bother tonight," Daqiangzi said.

"Okay, then let's just grab something to eat."

It was past nine o'clock, and the party was still not over.

Lu Liang and Da Qiangzi said goodbye to Lao Ma's assistant and left first. Seeing the two leave, Huang Zheng, Zhang Yiming and others also said goodbye and left.

Just then, Guo Changguang went backstage to inform them of Lu Liang's departure and couldn't help but persuade him, "Don't you really want to try again?"

He provided Ali's first angel round, and the two had a mentor-student relationship as well as friendship. They also co-founded Ant Group.

Seeing Lao Ma announce his 'graduation', although it may have been an expression of dissatisfaction, it also completely ended his path to a comeback.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Old Ma smiled slightly. The more resolute he was when he left, the greater the price he would have to pay to bring him back.

China's economy has reached its peak and will face a major turning point. If it cannot turn around, Japan will be the best reference point.

At that time, in order to stimulate the economy, he will make a triumphant return.

Since he's already infamous, we might as well squeeze out the last bit of value from him and gamble on a bright future.

"Aren't you worried that Lu Liang will cause you trouble? You know, he's the one the higher-ups are pushing right now," Guo Changguang asked.

"Lu Liang's existence is indeed irreplaceable, but so am I." Old Ma's smile was full of confidence.

Guo Changguang sighed and remained silent.

He wanted Maradona to return, but the prerequisite for Maradona's return was economic stagnation, which was too costly.

"Don't feel burdened. This is a judgment, a gamble, and something beyond human control," Old Ma said with a calm smile.

Meanwhile, at a barbecue restaurant on a street in Hangzhou.

"Liangzi, drink slowly and eat more vegetables."

Da Qiangzi was shocked. Among the people he knew, if there were a list of fish-raising experts, Lu Liang would definitely be at the top.

But tonight he was acting incredibly aggressively. After downing four ounces of baijiu, he was still constantly wanting to drink, and even he was struggling to keep up.

"I'm so upset." Lu Liang sighed deeply. The more he drank, the more upset he became, and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

He has already made an appointment with Li Junyi of Beijing Guoan and booked a flight to Beijing for tomorrow.

But Lu Liang always felt that the matter originated from him, yet he couldn't think of a solution and could only seek help from the state.

Daqiangzi frowned and said softly, "Human strength has its limits. You must understand that you are human, not a god."

Although he didn't know what had happened, he had been in this state before.

Everything went smoothly and to my satisfaction; I once thought I had the world at my fingertips.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Take JD.com's logistics system as an example. At that time, JD.com had not yet gone public, and its logistics system was only half-built. Its cash flow was on the verge of breaking down. It wanted to continue but didn't have the money, and it didn't want to continue, but it had already invested so much and paid so many sunk costs.

"And then what happened?" Lu Liang asked curiously.

"Later, my old benefactor in Suqian helped me find someone in Beijing, and I finally got five hundred million US dollars in life-saving money from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council."

Daqiangzi took a sip of wine and said with emotion, "Liangzi, sometimes we really have to cherish our blessings. It is a blessing to be born in this country and in this era."

They are all children with mothers. If a company is truly facing a life-or-death crisis, and if the company's existence benefits the country and its citizens, the country will absolutely not abandon it.

This is also the most obvious difference between socialism and capitalism. Therefore, as those who have become rich first, they have a responsibility and obligation to help those poor groups.

He thought so and did it.

Over the past decade, Suqian's GDP and per capita disposable income have grown at an annual rate of 8%, which is what he is most proud of. Lu Liang seemed thoughtful, but he couldn't stand someone showing off in front of him: "You say I'm showing off, but you're not much better yourself."

Da Qiangzi laughed heartily: "How can one not pretend when born as a human being? Wouldn't it be a wasted life?"

No matter what you say, you're right.

Lu Liang rolled his eyes, then, as if he were drunk, raised his glass and shouted, "To showing off!!!"

He didn't think about it too much anymore. To be honest, if the sky falls, someone else will hold it up, and he would just do what he could.

As night deepened, the entire internet was flooded with the bombshell news of Singles' Day: breaking 1 billion yuan in 14 seconds and 10 billion yuan in 1 minute and 36 seconds.

at the same time,

Lu Liang was also carried back to the hotel by Da Qiangzi.

He grumbled, "You can't drink, yet you drank so much. Are you just pretending?"

Xu Jiawei was both amused and exasperated, and said with a forced smile, "President Liu, thank you for bringing our President Lu back."

"It's nothing, I'm leaving." Da Qiangzi glanced at Lu Liang with a look of disdain, waved his hand, and left with a flourish.

Just then, Lu Liang's phone rang. He was startled awake by the sound, fumbled around in his sleep for a bit, and then lay back down.

Xu Jiawei was completely confused, but after calling out to Lu Liang several times without getting a response, he had no choice but to call Fang Shiyu, and the two of them carried him back to the bedroom.

"Shiyu, you're President Lu's cousin, so stay and take care of him. If anything happens, call me immediately; I'm right next door."

After Xu Jiawei finished giving his instructions and was about to leave, the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Tian'ai with an exquisitely made-up face. She asked anxiously, "Secretary Xu, what's wrong with President Lu?"

"Mr. Lu is fine, he's just drunk."

Xu Jiawei suddenly realized who Lu Liang had just been messaging.

He gestured for Fang Shiyu to prepare to leave, and said with a smile, "Ms. Zhang, we'll rest in the next room. We'll leave Mr. Lu in your care."

Xu Jiawei knew Zhang Tian'ai and knew that among Lu Liang's many lovers, Zhang Tian'ai was considered an old flame. She had been dating Lu Liang for several years and was someone he could entrust his life to.

"You've worked hard, you should go back and rest early." Zhang Tian'ai naturally accepted the task of taking care of Lu Liang, running between the bedroom and the bathroom to help him take off his clothes, wipe him down and change his clothes.

As the night deepened, a soft murmur suddenly rang out.

Lu Liang rubbed his head as he woke up from his sleep, his throat so dry it felt like it was about to crack.

Just then, the desk lamp was turned on, and a glass of warm water was handed to him. Zhang Tianai sat on the edge of the bed and said softly, "Mr. Lu, have some water. Drink slowly and be careful not to choke."

His parched throat was moistened, and Lu Liang cleared his throat, then rubbed his eyes before he could make out the person in front of him.

He smiled, nestled in Zhang Tian'ai's arms, a delicate orchid fragrance filling his nostrils. Lu Liang asked, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you ask me to come?" Zhang Tianai asked, slightly adjusting her posture to make Lu Liang more comfortable.

Lu Liang picked up his phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, you're the first person I think of."

"Because Xiao Ai is well-behaved, Mr. Lu likes Xiao Ai."

Zhang Tian smiled radiantly, her heart as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She noticed several people had sent messages to Lu Liang; though they were a bit far away and she couldn't make out their names, she recognized the profile pictures of the other two.

One was Yang Mi, the other was Dilraba, but among the three of them, Lu Liang ultimately chose her.

Moreover, the fact that it was an unconscious act while drunk shows that in Lu Liang's heart, she is far more important than the other two.

"Let's sleep together. You've been singing and dancing all night, it must be tiring." Lu Liang squinted his eyes, shifted his position, and made room for Zhang Tian'ai.

"Mr. Lu, I'm here." Zhang Tianai loves to put on a one-second striptease show, slipping into the quilt like a slippery eel.

She held Lu Liang in her arms, squinted her eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment, "Mr. Lu, your arms are so warm."

"You too." Holding his beloved in his arms, Lu Liang suddenly felt sleepiness wash over him again: "Are you busy tomorrow?"

"It should be fine," Zhang Tianai said doubtfully.

"I have to go to the capital for some business. If you want to go home, I'll take you with me."

"Yeah, okay."

After a long while, Lu Liang did not take any further action. Instead, his breathing became more and more even, accompanied by a series of snores.

Zhang Tianai quietly turned around to face Lu Liang, staring at his extremely charming and handsome face.

Suddenly, she said, "Mr. Lu, Xiao Ai wants to be a mother. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

She didn't want to gain status through her son; she just felt she was no longer young and it was time for her to become a mother.
