Chapter 39: Beautiful Car, Beautiful Woman At 3:00 PM, Branch Manager Liu stood at the door with a beaming smile, watching the two leave. It was a good day for him—his branch had added $7.86 million in foreign exchange and gained a high-end client with assets exceeding 100 million. On the way back, Lu Liang received a call from Tang Caidie. She told him that Zhang Chen had arrived. “I’ll be right back.” Lu Liang decided to park his car right at the door and called Tan Tao at the Peace Hotel to have him come and take the car away. Earlier, he had also received a call from Li Yue. The transfer and registration procedures were all done, and now she was planning to drive the car over. With the new car, he no longer needed to rent a vehicle. In the elevator, Lu Liang parted ways with Meng Changkun. “Alright, Mr. Lu, you’re busy. We’ll head out now,” Shen Teng said, still unable to take his eyes off the car. Zhang Chen pulled him into a taxi. Shen Teng couldn’t help but turn around and glance back at the Lamborghini. “Lamborghini Urus, that’s gotta be at least 3 million.” “Don’t be jealous. If our movie breaks 100 million at the box office, I’ll sponsor you 500,000,” Zhang Chen joked. “Damn, can’t you think bigger? I thought you were going to give me a car,” Shen Teng said with a playful look. “Even if we hit 100 million at the box office, how much would I really make? 500,000 is already pretty generous, bro,” Zhang Chen grumbled. “Think big, broaden your horizons. How about setting a 1 billion box office target?” Shen Teng joked. “If we really hit 1 billion, I’ll not only give you a Lamborghini, I’ll throw in a Rolls Royce too.” “That’s what you said. I’m remembering this.” “When we hit 1 billion at the box office, come get it from me.” They shared a laugh, neither taking it seriously. After all, this was their company’s first film, and they just hoped to break even. If they made a small profit, that would be even better. When Lu Liang was about to sign the papers, Li Yue playfully put her hand over the document and winked. “Mr. Lu, don’t you want to test drive it first? Just in case there’s an issue, you can give me feedback.” Lu Liang looked her up and down, his eyes eventually landing on her tall heels. He smiled teasingly. “Did you come here alone?” Li Yue gave him a playful look, her voice tinged with a bit of a coquettish tone. “Of course, I came alone. Who else would it be?” “Can you even drive in those heels?” Lu Liang asked coldly, his eyes gleaming with mischief. Li Yue was taken aback, quickly opening her bag and revealing a pair of flat sandals. In her haste, she forgot that there was also a brand new pack of gum in her bag, its blue packaging turning pale purple in the sunlight. Lu Liang smirked and got into the driver’s seat, waving for her to join him. “Let’s go for a drive and see how comfortable the car is.” Hearing the word “comfortable,” Li Yue shot him a playful glare, seeming to blame him for scaring her earlier, before extending her long leg and getting into the car. The V8 twin-turbocharged engine roared as it accelerated. In just 3.6 seconds per 100 km, the powerful pushback from the pedal felt just as intense as a sports car. They left the city and entered the elevated highway. Lu Liang stepped on the accelerator, feeling the surge of power as they drove east, toward the coastline. As they neared the East Sea, the traffic gradually decreased, and the Lamborghini Urus began to slow down. “Mr. Lu, why did you bring me to such a remote place?” Li Yue sounded worried, but she still stood tall, showing off her impressive figure. “Out here in the wilderness, a man and a woman alone. What do you think?” Lu Liang smiled, keeping his gaze straight ahead while his other hand rested on her smooth thigh, slowly moving upward, feeling the fabric of her clothing. Reaching her chest, he touched the tightly buttoned shirt, and with one push, the button popped off, revealing her curves. “Mr. Lu, be careful.” The car sped away from the main road, entering a country dirt road. The vehicle stopped, the suspension lifted, and began to rock rhythmically... By the time the sun began to set, the sunroof cracked open a small gap. Li Yue opened her phone’s flashlight and took out a wet wipe, carefully cleaning up the mess, her nose glistening with fine sweat. “Mr. Lu, this is a brand-new car.” She shot him a playful look before checking everything again. Finally, she removed the torn stockings, rolled them up, and put them in her bag. “So what?” Lu Liang tilted his head to gaze at the stars above. With one hand on the wheel, the other gripping something far more significant. “It’s strange. Every time I see you, I feel a special connection,” Li Yue said, holding onto his arm.
