Chapter 56: The Wealthy and Beautiful Goddess Persona With a deputy general manager and an assistant now on board, tasks like recruitment no longer required Lu Liang to personally step in. After lunch, they visited the industry and commerce bureau to increase their registered capital to 50 million yuan, with 10 million as paid-in capital. By Tuesday, when the updated records were available, Tianxing Investments' registered capital would show as 50 million yuan, with 16 million paid in. Just as they finished at the bank, Lu Liang received a call from Li Yue. The Porsche 718 he had reserved last week had arrived, and she wanted to know when he’d pick it up. “Send me the address. I’ll head over shortly.” After dropping off the deputy general manager and assistant at the company, Lu Liang drove to the Porsche Center near People’s Park. Li Yue had been waiting at the entrance with a parasol in hand, her long legs crossed as she idly played with her phone. Her light blonde hair, gray skirt, and white blouse gave her the look of a female lead from a neighboring country's film—the kind where only a handful of actors are needed. After years in Magic City, where he spent his days taking clients to look at properties, Lu Liang had met his share of attractive professionals. Still, Li Yue stood out as someone who could truly embody the essence of an office lady (OL) outfit. She was about 165 cm tall and weighed around 120 pounds, a perfect blend of curves and elegance. “Mr. Lu, you can park at the entrance. I’ll have a colleague wash your car later.” “It’s because you look like you’re asking for it.” Lu Liang chuckled but stopped short as the sound of a toilet flushing interrupted them. After a while, they deliberately staggered their departure and returned one after another to the business lounge to finalize the contract. Li Yue entered with a cup of coffee and a tray of delicate pastries. “Mr. Lu, please wait a bit longer. I’ve asked someone to clean the car interior.” Though Lu Liang drove a three-million-yuan SUV, even on a whim, he wouldn’t buy an entry-level sports car worth just a few hundred thousand yuan. She guessed the 718 was probably a gift, most likely for a woman. If you cheat, you’d better clean up after yourself, she thought. She didn’t want to disrupt anyone’s happy family life. Lu Liang smiled. “You’re so thoughtful. What if I fall for you?” “That’s easy—I’d drain your wallet dry and kick you to the curb,” Li Yue teased, covering her mouth with a giggle, as if imagining a bright future post-scam. “What a terrifying woman.” They bantered back and forth, their conversation gradually veering into personal curiosities. Lu Liang casually asked, “Doesn’t it get tiring being that big?” Li Yue, playing along, replied earnestly, “Very tiring. I even have slight shoulder and neck strain. If I weren’t worried about scars, I’d consider reducing them.” The conversation flowed naturally, avoiding topics like Lu Liang’s marital status or Li Yue’s love life. A chance encounter, a fleeting moment of passion—both were uninterested in prying into each other’s private lives. That evening, Lu Liang drove with the Porsche staff to the underground parking lot of Tomson Riviera. He called Li Manli, saying he had a gift for her and asking her to come downstairs. Moments later, the sound of slippers echoed in the empty lot. Li Manli’s face lit up with delight when she saw the red sports car parked beside her yellow one. “Is this for me?” she asked, barely able to contain her excitement. “Hop in. Let’s take it for a spin.” Lu Liang grinned, leaping into the driver’s seat. Thrilled, Li Manli jumped into the passenger seat, her joy evident as she touched and explored every detail of the car. Her face flushed with excitement. Though she noticed Lu Liang’s name on the car’s registration, she didn’t mind. Swinging her petite hand, she said cheerfully, “Brother Liang, let’s have dinner at Dajie World tonight. My treat!” Li Manli hadn’t asked Lu Liang for money in ages. In fact, she often dipped into her savings to cover household expenses. Beautiful, well-dressed in cosplay outfits, skilled in cooking, and seemingly living in a luxurious home, she exuded the charm of a wealthy second-generation heiress. Her layered identities as a stunning influencer made her a nuclear force among otakus. Lu Liang had recently subscribed to her top-tier fan service on Bilibili, throwing in dozens of virtual gifts. Her popularity soared, making her a rising star on the platform, earning thousands from every post and stream. “Does this count as being pampered by the ‘Goddess of Cuteness’?” Lu Liang teased, referring to her online moniker.
