After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 88: Go Upstairs for a Glass of Water?

"Let's go then."

Lu Liang's smile tilted upward, and the two acted as if they hadn't noticed anything, coming to the Bentley Puxin store.

He didn't look for Li Yue but chose a nearby Bentley dealership to avoid inflating that woman's expectations.

Although there were no acquaintances, a Lamborghini was the best pass, earning the sales manager's enthusiastic hospitality.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask which of our models you're interested in?" said the manager, fawning over him with a beaming smile.

"Let's take a look at the sedans."

Lu Liang had driven a 2013 Mushang and liked it at the time, but he wanted to try more to see if the next one would be better.

Lu Liang, along with Wen Shanshan, test-drove the Flying Spur and the Mushang in succession, laughing, he asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

"It seems like that one is a bit more comfortable."

Wen Shanshan thought hard, looking clueless about cars, and finally pointed at the black Mushang.

Lu Liang chuckled, realizing the top-spec Flying Spur was only able to get the lower-spec Mushang, but he wasn't particularly concerned.

Since the car would be registered under the company's name, it wouldn't matter if it was a bit more expensive, as it would also mean paying more taxes.

"Let's go with that one, I'll pick the configuration."

Lu Liang pointed at it too; the listing price was 4.98 million, and after choosing the configuration and including the purchase tax, it would come to almost 6 million.

Wen Shanshan was stunned, "Aren't you going to look any further?"

"Once decided, why wait? What's there to see?"

Lu Liang replied with a smile on his face, as relaxed as if he was picking groceries.

The biggest issue with luxury cars is the cost, as long as the price isn't a problem, neither pre-sales nor after-sales would pose an issue.

Each customer is incredibly valued because those who can afford a 6 million luxury car probably won't just buy one in a lifetime.

Wen Shanshan was at a loss for words; in her thirteen years in the industry, she hadn't earned as much money as Lu Liang had spent in one hour.

"Mr. Lu, your car will take 25 days to arrive, we will urge our headquarters to expedite the process."

The sales manager was all smiles, clutching the newly signed documents, wishing he could treat Lu Liang like royalty.

Lu Liang nodded, driving off with Wen Shanshan: "Let's go eat first, then we'll take another look around in the afternoon."

Wen Shanshan nodded, but during the meal, she suddenly remembered leaving something at the hotel.

Lu Liang had to bring her back to the hotel, planning to wait for her downstairs. Hesitant, she asked in a low voice, "It's so hot today, why don't we go upstairs for a drink of water first?"

"That sounds good, my throat's a bit dry."

Lu Liang smiled, following Wen Shanshan into her hotel room.

A standard business suite, not particularly impressive, probably costing a little over a thousand to two thousand a night.

"The room's a bit messy, please don't mock me."

Wen Shanshan hurriedly tidied up the papers on the table, but suddenly she exclaimed and found herself pressing half her body against the table, her voice soft and coquettish, "Liang, what are you doing~"

Lu Liang showed an apologetic face, hugging Wen Shanshan's waist, "I accidentally bumped into the edge of the table just now and my leg suddenly feels a bit numb."

Wen Shanshan rolled her eyes, smiling seductively, undoing Lu Liang's belt while asking, "Let me see if there's an injury."

"It's swollen."

"I have a remedy for swelling."

"Shall we try it?"

"Let's try it then."

The two moved from the living room to the bedroom and then to the bathroom, from dawn to dusk, the already messy room became even more chaotic.

Actresses aren't really much different from ordinary girls, except they tend to have slimmer figures and pay more attention to posture management.

Their skin is smooth like milk, and even at 27 years old, they maintain themselves so well they hardly look different from a 19-year-old girl.

According to Wen Shanshan's account, she earned 800,000 a year, and at least 400,000 of that was spent on daily maintenance.

After all, an actress's career is all about youth and looks; once beauty fades, even the biggest stars can be left neglected.

Especially since she was neither famous nor influential, she needed more maintenance, waiting for an opportunity, such as this very moment.

"Are Hong Kong stars really not in demand anymore?" Lu Liang asked as he gently pinched her delicate chin.

Her chin wasn't sharp, her face resembling the classic oval shape, but the corners of her eyes didn't look quite natural; she probably had some work done.

"Not like before. The Xiangjiang market is shrinking, and the Hong Kong circle keeps recycling the same few people for film and TV dramas."

Wen Shanshan leaned over Lu Liang, picked up a cigarette and lighter, and lit up a post-coital smoke for him: "Like this time, I came here to audition for the role of the second female lead in a TV drama."

"Movie stars stooping to act in TV dramas, isn't that looked down upon in your circle?" Lu Liang was surprised.

Although he wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry, he had heard about the hierarchical disdain among movie, television, and web series actors.

Wen Shanshan poked Lu Liang's chest, clearly resentful: "Have you ever even seen the film EQUATOR that I acted in?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

"To be honest, no." Lu Liang's eyes crinkled with amusement as he puffed smoke, lying in bed with her, there was no point in hiding the truth.

Wen Shanshan glared at him fiercely, a look of 'I thought as much' on her face: "Even though I was the lead, after editing, I only had a few minutes of screen time. I'd rather do a TV drama where at least I'd have more scenes, become more recognizable, and maybe get noticed by someone."

"And what about Angelababy? Her resources are pretty good, why hasn't she helped you out?" Lu Liang asked with a smile.

"Ugh, stop talking about her. If she hadn't badmouthed me, I would've been in Mushang by now."

Wen Shanshan gnashed her teeth, revealing the most genuine side of Angelababy, which boiled down to relentlessly advancing on the path of scandals.

Back then, she was naïve, thinking that hard work would pay off, and she also refused any under-the-table deals.

But Yang Tianbao was different, she knew early on how to use her advantages, climbing the ladder of influence until she met Huang Xiaoming.

Lu Liang chuckled and didn't pursue the topic further: "Tomorrow, you move to the luxury suite upstairs, stay as long as you want. When I'm done with my busy period, I'll help you look for a suitable role."

He had a commercial platinum card; the bank had partnerships with five-star hotels nationwide, and some of the luxury suites were free or heavily discounted.

For a long-term stay, it could even be cheaper than a regular business hotel room.

Wen Shanshan wrapped her arms around Lu Liang's neck: "Liang, I've given everything to you, you better not let me down~"

Lu Liang chuckled and lightly brushed her nose: "I'll keep an eye out for you, don't just lie there, let's go downstairs for a bit."

"But, I don't have any energy left, not a bit," Wen Shanshan protested pitifully, clinging to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang didn't indulge her: "Then you rest a while, I'll see if there's something good to eat and bring you something later."

"Don't go, let's go together." Wen Shanshan inwardly sensed trouble and quickly got out of bed, following Lu Liang into the bathroom.

She had missed many opportunities, and Lu Liang was her best chance to become famous. For fame, she was willing to do anything.

Making money was secondary; she wanted to prove herself, show she was no less than Yang Tianbao, it was just that her luck wasn't as good.

Now that Yang Tianbao was famous, whatever she said was right, and nobody listened to what Wen Shanshan had to say, all the blame was on her.

Only when she became famous could she explain everything.

A smile played on Lu Liang's lips as he stood under the showerhead, enjoying Wen Shanshan as she washed his entire body.

Actresses are actually just like that, and they're even more ambitious and goal-oriented than ordinary girls, willing to face any ordeal for their objectives.

That evening, the two went out for dinner, and back at the hotel, Lu Liang casually upgraded her to a luxury suite at the Four Seasons Hotel.

He gave her a taste of the sweet life; as for the film and TV resources, Lu Liang planned to wait until he was less busy and had free time to discuss it.

Keeping her in suspense ensured continued service; things that come too easily are often undervalued.
