Chapter 336: Career First_2
Today is the 16th, and he needed to return to his home country before the 22nd.
BYD, heavily invested in by the fund, would face lift-off restrictions and, in the subsequent ten days, the eighteen stocks held would also be progressively freed.
As of yesterday, the Public Fund's latest net value was 1.522, with an asset scale of 300 billion and a six-month increase of 52.2%.
Even if they used 100 billion to buy bonds, the remaining value of assets in the stock market was still 356.6 billion yuan.
The entire 356.6 billion yuan worth of stocks being unrestricted means they could be traded freely; even Big A would tremble.
Although there were still six days left, Lu Liang also needed to go to Tokyo to have a good talk with Mitsui Sumitomo.
He wanted dignity, so let it be dignified,
If he didn't desire dignity, he could only ask the United States to maintain it for him.
Thus, he would only stay in Edinburgh for three days at most.
"This period must be quite busy for you."
Su Wanyu was delighted, recognizing that Lu Liang had managed many affairs in the United States. Excluding flight times, his trip scarcely amounted to four days.
Four days across four cities, half the continent of America, yet willing to spend three days in Edinburgh with her, she was very happy.
"Not particularly busy," Lu Liang said with a smile; mainly, traveling took up most of the time, and the actual work didn't require as long.
In the investment company, whatever he said went unquestioned; no need for discussions with others, so the office efficiency was especially high.
The tech companies had two shareholders, but Golden Sand River supported unconditionally, and the agreement with DiDi hadn't reached its yearly mark yet.
Zheng Xiaoxuan was vexed, Lu Liang discussed topics too high-end, each project involving investments of several hundred billion to a trillion.
She couldn't understand and didn't want to; she only concerned herself with people she liked: "What about Yu? What are you planning to do?"
Lu Liang said, "There are seven and a half weeks left until the due date, I plan to bring her back to the country to rest, Miss Zheng, you can come too."
Zheng Xiaoxuan's face darkened, suddenly laughing angrily: "At first, you let her come here alone to study, do you know how many rumors she faced? Now that you know she is pregnant, you want to take her back, it's not that simple."
Lu Liang turned a deaf ear, looking at Su Wanyu: "Don't rush your answer now, there is still two days left."
Su Wanyu quickly nodded, consoling Zheng Xiaoxuan: "We had arguments then, he didn't know, and I didn't tell him, you can't really blame him."
Zheng Xiaoxuan was furious, seeing that Su Wanyu still had feelings for Lu Liang, likely they would reconcile.
But from a friend's perspective, while she fought for Wanyu's rights, she always ended up defending Lu Liang.
Zheng Xiaoxuan felt a tightness in her chest: "You guys eat slowly, I haven't showered yet, so I'll go back first."
"Xiaoxuan~"
Su Wanyu called out, but Zheng Xiaoxuan didn't react, causing her to helplessly look at Lu Liang with a pitiful plea for help.
During the study period in Edinburgh, Zheng Xiaoxuan had helped her a lot; letting her leave angry now seemed highly ungracious.
"I'll take you back."
Lu Liang held Su Wanyu's hand, leisurely following behind Zheng Xiaoxuan, whispering: "Friendship during hardships is precious, I know she is also looking out for you."
Su Wanyu's mood lifted, grateful that Lu Liang could understand her plight. Suddenly tiptoeing, she planted a quick kiss on Lu Liang's lips: "I'll talk to her and calm her down before finding you."
"Go, be careful, don't always be jumping around." Lu Liang smiled and nodded, escorting Su Wanyu to her doorstep.
"Bye~" Not until she opened the door and entered the house did Lu Liang turn and leave, returning to the hotel to complete his unfinished dinner.
He picked up a napkin, wiping the corner of his mouth, and phoned Zhuo Yifan: "Yifan, stay for a while longer; these few days, look around to see if there are any upscale apartments close to the school and hospital nearby."
"Yes, buy one."
Ending the call, Lu Liang sighed.
Just now, Su Wanyu hadn't immediately agreed, probably not wanting to return with him, but he couldn't stay in Edinburgh for the sake of his love when his children were coming soon.
He could only put Su Wanyu on hold again, awaiting completion of his urgent tasks.
Before career, emotions had to wait.
Su Wanyu disliked money, but doing what she loved always cost money.
Like tonight's fireworks show, disregarding the cost, smoothing relations alone had spent nearly a million British Pounds, nearly ten million RMB.
...
On the 17th and 18th,
Su Wanyu was overjoyed, taking Lu Liang around for sightseeing.
Great Britain, which once ruled a quarter of the world, remained with prime geographic and environmental resources.
The British Isles, independently existing, with the English Channel separating it from the European and African continents, became an isolated paradise.
Edinburgh, located at the mouth of the East Sea in Scotland within the United Kingdom, boasts tourism resources second only to London.
It's a good place for vacations and retirement; Lu Liang bought an apartment, 278 square meters, total price 2.19 million British Pounds.
That afternoon, he led Su Wanyu there, handing her the keys and property documents: "I have to go back soon."
"I know you still haven't decided, and I respect your choice, the climate here is indeed nice and quite livable."
"Consider moving here in the future, next month when it's your due date, I'll try my best to come over and accompany you."
Lu Liang left Zhuo Yifan behind, but hadn't introduced him to Su Wanyu, just leaving an emergency contact number.
If she encountered any unsolvable problems and he couldn't come immediately, she could call Zhuo Yifan.
Su Wanyu remained silent, really wishing to agree with Lu Liang, to return with him, but thinking of Li Manli made her heart sting.
Coming to Edinburgh was a form of escape, because here she could forget all the troubles, and Lu Liang belonged only to her.
