After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 455 - 450: The 'New' in New Energy

"You should thank Mr. Lu now."

Li Xuanhong felt as if he'd received amnesty and was thrilled to the point of almost forcing Yun'er's head down to kowtow in gratitude to Lu Liang.

However famous the super girl group was across Asia, even if they were Blue Dragon Award-winning actors and actresses, they were seen merely as skilled performers, making them even more fun to play with.

Some had gotten fat, others had ruined their looks, and still others had fled overseas; from the original group of eight, they were easily replaceable.

He performed a piece for Lu Liang on the spot:

geegeegee~babybabybaby~

Having chosen the path of the entertainment industry, they were caged birds and fish at their disposal.

Yun'er bowed deeply, her waist bent at a ninety degree angle, only daring to lift her head when Li Xuanhong gestured with his hand.

Looking up at Lu Liang with eyes full of gratitude, she approached him with a glass of wine: "Mr. Lu, let me toast to you."

"No need for drinks, let's go out," Lu Liang shook his head, knowing that it's best for women during their menstrual period not to drink alcohol.

Li Xuanhong sneaked something into the drink behind Lu Liang's back and handed it to the two dancing girls.

"Taeyeon, Meiyin, Yun'er isn't feeling well and can't drink, so please drink on her behalf."

His eyes briefly twinkled with a smile; it wasn't any banned substance, just a little mood-enhancing product.

Lu Liang was too gentle and protective of women, making Li Xuanhong worried that he wouldn't have fun tonight, so he took the liberty of giving a little push.

"Thank you, Minister Li, Mr. Lu, we'll drink on behalf of Yun'er."

The two women looked at each other, happy for Yun'er, and also for themselves.

Lu Liang was compassionate, and could also converse happily with the chairman of the Hyundai Group; it wasn't too difficult for them to accept spending a night with them.

Seeing the two women finish their drinks, Li Xuanhong gave a secretive smile: "Mr. Lu, I'll take Yun'er back now. Enjoy yourself."

Lu Liang felt puzzled but didn't think too much about it.

It was only after the two were gone that Lu Liang suddenly noticed the women's faces becoming redder and they often couldn't hit the high notes.

He said, "If you're tired, come down and rest, join me for a few drinks and a chat."

Hugging them from both sides felt like being next to two big heaters, and they were constantly rubbing their legs, their red lips seductive as mist seemed to emanate from them.

The climate in Han City was similar to that in Qingdao,

with mid-October temperatures around fifteen degrees.

Lu Liang felt a bit warm himself, so he turned down the air conditioning and asked with a smile, "Can't you both handle your drink?"

They looked as though they were allergic to alcohol just like Su Wanyu, but Su Wanyu would stubbornly say it was just her face getting flushed, not an allergy.

Taeyeon wiped the sweat from her neck, gasping for air, her bright eyes full of confusion: "I can drink, but I don't know what's wrong today."

Meiyin was fanning herself with her hand, her nose already dotted with tiny beads of sweat, a sudden insight flashing across her face but she hesitated to speak.

Lu Liang, smiling, said, "Just say what you want to say."

Meiyin, striding forward with long legs, sat directly on Lu Liang's thigh, lightly kissing his neck and earlobe.

Seeing this, Taeyeon's

mouth fell open slightly, her eyes wide.

Her gaze uncontrollably darted to the door as she exhaled softly and leaned close to Lu Liang's ear: "Sir, are you staying at this hotel?"

She was afraid she couldn't control herself and also feared someone suddenly bursting into the room, finding them sandwiching Lu Liang like an Oreo.

"17th floor, Room 1002."

The three of them couldn't wait to leave the private room and went upstairs to the room where Lu Liang was staying.

They slept until the next afternoon.

Upon opening his eyes, Lu Liang saw one of them sleeping by his legs and another by his side.

Scattered around the large bed were clothes all over the floor, as if a boss battle had been fought and equipment exploded everywhere.

Lu Liang twisted his neck, feeling the crick was already better,

and without turning his head, he stretched his waist and walked out of the bedroom.

After washing up, he went down to the restaurant, greeted by Li Xuanhong with a big smile: "Mr. Lu, did you enjoy last night?"

Lu Liang's face was stern: "Don't do that again next time."

He hadn't realized it initially, but gradually during the night, he had noticed the women's excessive enthusiasm.

Combining this with the mysterious smile Li Xuanhong had as he left the private room, it wasn't hard to guess.

Although Lu Liang disliked such methods, he had indeed benefited from it last night, so he refrained from blaming Li Xuanhong.

"Understood, understood," Li Xuanhong chuckled and

hastily clarified that it was absolutely harmless and environmentally friendly.

Just like Viagra, these were medicines created to harmonize marital life.

As people reach middle age, it's the same for men as for women, just like lubricants.

If it's dry, it's uncomfortable for both men and women.

"Mr. Lu, do you have time this afternoon? Mr. Park would like to meet with you."

During the meal, Li Xuanhong suddenly asked this, referring to Park Zhixun, who is in charge of Hyundai cars.

As East Country vigorously develops new energy, although the market hasn't fully accepted electric cars yet, the Japanese and Korean brands definitely felt the impact.

Japanese cars are still okay, with Honda and Toyota maintaining a solid base. It's said that the coastal regions of Guangdong have a special fondness for these two brands. Though not as crazy as before, where prices would skyrocket by thirty to fifty thousand, their sales haven't been affected much.

There's a saying that goes, when the second and first fight, the third one gets killed. Korean cars are that dying third one.

Hyundai has two main brands, Hyundai and Kia, and last year their sales in China were still 1.17 million vehicles.

But this year, by the end of September, sales have halved to just 455,000, and it will be tough to exceed 600,000 for the whole year, which is a 50% decrease.

This decline might not be temporary because their main sales models are priced between 100,000 to 200,000 RMB.

In this price range, there are BYD, Weima, Xiao Peng, and those targeting the mid-end like Wuling, Chery, and Geely, as well as Honda and Toyota dropping their stance.

This makes their already precarious market even more unstable, so Park Zhixun wants to talk with Lu Liang.

"Please tell Mr. Park that we've already discussed this last time. If he's interested in lithium energy, he can come to Modu to find me."

Lu Liang rejected Mr. Park's invitation. They wanted to develop hydrogen power, while East Country is pushing lithium power. They are basically incompatible and there's nothing much to talk about.

As the tide of the era surges, being stubborn, refusing to change, one can only be smashed dead on the beach.

Since the development of lithium power began in East Country, it was destined that hydrogen power would fail. Without a market, what would they develop with?

Relying on Korea's population of 50 to 60 million?

Or Neon's population of over 100 million?

Or relying on the billions birthed in India?

Small countries have no choice,

nor the delusion of swallowing an elephant in one gulp.

Honestly following East Country in developing lithium power, by the time the hydrogen patents expire, they might be favored.

Because for East Country, the development of new energy focuses on the 'new.' New energy includes both lithium and hydrogen, it's just that currently, the emphasis is on lithium power.

Li Xuanhong gave a dry laugh, "Okay, Mr. Lu, then I'll convey that to Mr. Park."

Lu Liang slightly nodded, noticing Wen Chao, Xu Delin, and Du Yifei at the restaurant entrance.

Wen Chao came over and said, "Mr. Lu, our flight is at two in the afternoon, we should head out soon."

"Let's gather downstairs in twenty minutes."

After bidding farewell to Li Xuanhong and sending regards to Zheng Xuanyi through him, Lu Liang went upstairs to his room.

Sounds of trickling water came from the bathroom, Taeyeon had already showered and changed, playing with her phone on the sofa.

Startled by Lu Liang's return, she quickly hid her phone, "Mr. Lu, Belle is in the bathroom."

"I'm leaving Korea this afternoon and just came up to pack some stuff."

Lu Liang smiled, pulling out a suitcase with only a few sets of clothes, tossing them in, and then he was done.

Though it was said to be twenty minutes to pack, it actually took less than three, throwing away what wasn't needed, to buy again next time.

As Lu Liang was about to leave, Taeyeon walked into the bathroom to hurry Belle.

Informed by the news, Belle hurried out of the bathroom, barely dressed in a bathrobe, her hair still foamy.

Though Taeyeon is the leader of their girl group, Belle is clearly more outgoing and cheerful.

She said pitifully, "Mr. Lu, you're leaving so soon, will we be able to meet again?"

Though they were treated as gifts for Lu Liang, if they could be dedicated to only serving him in the future, it would be a great option.

Lu Liang is gentle and strong enough that even the chairman of Hyundai Group bows down in his presence.

If they could turn one night into a long-term lover relationship, they could refuse others' invitations in the future.

"Of course, I've spoken to Minister Li; if you encounter any problems next time, you can ask him for help."

Lu Liang smiled, caressing Belle's cheek and gently patting Taeyeon's head, showing his appreciation for Yun'er.

If he has time, he would still visit Han City, but he hopes to meet Yun'er next time.

Belle flashed a sweet smile and quickly took out her phone, "Look, Yun'er said last night you were very gentlemanly."

"Let's go."

Lu Liang waved, pulling his suitcase as he left the room.

Taeyeon murmured, "Belle, aren't you worried Mr. Lu is deceiving us?"

"If we're deceived, so be it. There's no harm in trying."

Belle, unconcerned, lay on the sofa, her flawless white legs up in the air, admiring her own beauty.

As long as there's a sliver of hope, she wants to try, after all, serving one is better than serving a crowd.

At least Lu Liang is still pleasing to the eye and young and strong, unlike those old men who turn perverse because they just can't perform.
