Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

evening.

When Chen Mo came out of Xingchen Technology, it was already completely dark.

The streetlights in Guanlan Royal View came on, and the cold winter wind, carrying a damp chill, blew in from the distant lake.

The black Hummer H2 was parked in front of Villa No. 16, its license plate Jiang A·11111 extremely conspicuous.

Chen Mo didn't let Zhou Zheng drive; he got into the driver's seat himself.

"You all rest tonight."

Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Lu instructed us to ensure the safety of your residence after you return to Jiangcheng."

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

He doesn't like having someone around him 24/7.

Especially since his parents are currently unaware of his true situation, it would be difficult to explain if three security personnel suddenly appeared at their doorstep.

"You can't stay at my house."

"President Lin has already made the arrangements."

Zhou Zheng explained, "Your parents' new residence is located in the county health bureau's staff quarters. General Manager Lin has rented two apartments, one upstairs and one downstairs from yours. We don't usually show our faces in public."

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

"When was this arranged?"

"After you went to Hong Kong, Ms. Lu spoke with Star Technology by phone and pointed out your safety concerns."

Chen Mo frowned slightly, surprised that the two women had bypassed him and connected so quickly.

However, with his parents' recent job transfers, the scale of the gold mine and Xingchen Technology is rapidly expanding.

Although ordinary people are unaware of the Chen family's connection to these industries, strengthening protection in advance is not a bad thing.

"OK."

Chen Mo did not continue to refuse.

"Please keep a low profile and don't disrupt my parents' lives."

"clear."

The muffled engine roar of the Hummer echoed in the night.

The two cars drove out of Guanlan Yujing one after the other, heading towards the center of the county town.

……

The family compound of the County Health Bureau.

This is a residential area for cadres built in the county in the 1990s.

Although the building is a bit old, it has a great location, not far from the county hospital, health bureau, and transportation bureau.

After Chen Jianguo and Li Xiuyun were transferred to different positions, the health system arranged a temporary three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment for the couple.

Compared to the cramped old building of the township health center, this place is much more spacious.

Chen Mo parked the Hummer downstairs.

The rugged, tall body and consecutive license plates immediately attracted the attention of many passing residents.

Chen Mo carried his schoolbag upstairs and was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside.

Li Xiuyun stood at the door wearing an apron. When she saw her son, her face immediately lit up with surprise and joy.

"Xiao Mo?"

"Don't you have an exam today? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have cooked a couple more dishes."

"Just finished the exam."

Chen Mo walked into the house.

The room was heated, and the air was filled with the aroma of braised pork and pork rib soup.

Chen Jianguo sat on the living room sofa watching the news, with the county hospital's business documents beside him.

Hearing the noise, he looked up.

"Finally decided to come back?"

"dad."

Chen Mo greeted him with a smile.

Stop grinning like that.

Chen Jianguo took off his glasses: "Did you take the exam today? How did it go?"

"First place in the city should be no problem."

Chen Mo answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Chen Jianguo's lips visibly curled up, but he deliberately kept a straight face.

"Don't make any definitive statements before the results are in."

"Alright, it's rare for our son to come home, so stop lecturing him."

Li Xiuyun took out slippers for Chen Mo and then looked towards the door.

"Whose big truck was that downstairs just now? The whole building could hear it stop."

"mine."

"your?"

The couple looked at Chen Mo at the same time.

The living room fell silent for a brief moment.

Chen Mo had already prepared his explanation.

"I'm back this time because I have some things to tell you."

He sat down on the sofa.

"My uncle's Yunfan Software is doing very well recently. It has secured orders from several companies in the provincial capital, has initially penetrated the market, and has received a large amount of financing."

"Didn't I often go to the provincial capital to help out before?"

"I mainly help my uncle with product planning and project coordination."

Chen Jianguo frowned.

"What do you, a high school student, know about software projects?"

"I don't know how to code, but I know what young people like."

Chen Mo said, half-jokingly, "The new project is a music short video app. I was the first to suggest some product ideas, and later I even helped him connect with an internet company in Kyoto for collaboration."

"The other party believes the project has great potential and is willing to provide technology and a recommendation system."

"Now this project has been established as a separate company, and my uncle and I both have shares."

Douyin Group has indeed been established.

The Yunfan Software team was indeed merged into it.

Aside from omitting Star Technology, ByteDance, and the actual equity structure, most of what he said was true.

A lie mixed with the truth is often the hardest to expose.

Li Xiuyun listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.

"So you were just recording a video with your phone?"

"almost."

"Can this thing make money?"

"Yes, in the future."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "In addition, I also made a few investments with my uncle. I was lucky and made some money."

"How much?" Chen Jianguo keenly grasped the key point.

Chen Mo paused briefly, thought for a moment, and decided not to say too much.

"Tens of millions, I guess."

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Li Xiuyun even forgot to put down the apron in her hand.

Chen Jianguo remained in the position of holding a teacup, not moving for a long time.

"How many?"

"Tens of millions."

"RMB?"

Chen Mo found it somewhat amusing: "What else could it be but game currency?"

Chen Jianguo slammed the teacup back onto the table.

"You better get serious!"

"What exactly did you and Liping do? Stop getting involved in those shady things outside!"

More than how much money he made, his first concern was whether his son had gone astray.

"They are all legitimate businesses."

Chen Mo explained, "Yunfan Software's company, contracts, and tax records can all be checked. My uncle is also currently cooperating with a large internet company in Kyoto; it's not some shady business."

"He was quite busy before the New Year. After my sister comes back, I'll have my uncle explain it to you personally."

Upon hearing Chen Liping's name, the couple visibly relaxed.

Over the years, although Chen Liping's career has not made much progress, he is quick-witted, technically skilled, and has never done anything illegal or disorderly.

Moreover, he is Chen Jianguo's younger brother.

It's safer for Chen Mo to do business with his uncle than to meet some dubious people outside.

Li Xiuyun finally came to her senses.

"So, that car downstairs, you bought that too?"

"Um."

"How much?"

Chen Mo did not answer immediately.

A bad feeling immediately rose in Li Xiuyun's heart.

"How much exactly?"

"More than a million."

"What?!"

Li Xiuyun's voice instantly rose in pitch.

"You spent over a million on a car?"

"You don't even own a decent house, yet you dare to buy a car worth over a million?"

"Do these young people think they're all that just because they've made a little money?"

The familiar scolding came rushing in.

Chen Mo was not impatient at all; on the contrary, he felt particularly warm towards her.

In his past life, when he was at his lowest point, he only dared to report good news and never bad news whenever he returned home.

His mother would always nag him about spending money recklessly, but she would secretly slip him the wages she had saved.

In this life, he amassed a fortune that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

But when he returns home, he is still just a son who gets scolded by his mother for buying an expensive car.

"Mom, don't panic."

"How could I not be anxious?"

Li Xiuyun glared at him: "You're only eighteen this year! Tens of millions sounds like a lot, but if you really spend it like that, how many years can you last?"

"I also plan to buy a house in the county town after the New Year."

"You're still buying a house?"

"This set was arranged by the company temporarily; it's not our own."

Chen Mo looked around: "When my sister graduates and comes back, there won't even be a room for her in the house. We should buy a bigger place so she can live more comfortably."

These words dampened Li Xiuyun's enthusiasm; she had actually wanted to buy a house in the county town for a long time.

However, the couple has been supporting their two children's education and taking care of their elderly parents over the years, so they haven't accumulated much savings.

"A regular apartment is fine."

Li Xiuyun was still worried: "Don't buy anything too expensive."

"I'll do as you say."

Chen Mo agreed very readily.

As for what he'll buy in the end, once he's done it, no one can say anything about it anymore.

He took out his phone and operated it a few times under his parents' surprised gazes.

Soon, both cell phones on the coffee table started vibrating at the same time.

Chen Jianguo picked it up and glanced at it.

Bank transfer notification.

Five hundred thousand yuan.

Li Xiuyun's card also had an extra 500,000 yuan.

"What are you doing?"

"This is your allowance."

"Pocket money?"

Li Xiuyun almost laughed out of anger at those three words.

"Who gets 500,000 yuan in pocket money at once?"

"Now that you've all been transferred to work in the county town, you'll need money to buy things and treat your colleagues to meals."

Chen Mo said, "This is only a small part of what I've earned, so feel free to spend it."

Chen Jianguo looked at the numbers on the text message with a complicated expression.

He had been a dentist for half his life and always believed that his responsibility was to support his family and raise his two children safely.

But at some point, the son who used to need his father's protection was now able to casually hand over millions of yuan to his parents.

While he was pleased, he also felt a sense of indescribable loss.

The child is growing up so fast that he wasn't even prepared.

"We'll keep this money for you for now."

Chen Jianguo said in a deep voice, "You'll need money for many things in the future, such as going to university, getting married, and buying a house."

"Dad, don't joke around. Money is the last thing I lack, let alone such a small amount."

"Hey, I think you've really gotten a little money and don't know your place anymore. You call 500,000 a lot?"

Chen Jianguo slammed his hand on the table, his voice becoming stern: "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to squander your money, not even on drugs, prostitution, or prostitution, or I'll break your legs!"

Chen Mo quickly waved his hand and said, "Dad, I'm a law-abiding citizen, so don't worry."

Li Xiuyun sat down next to her son and carefully looked him over.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on with all the people I've been seeing lately wearing black?"

Chen Mo's heart stirred slightly; it seemed the Lu family had also arranged bodyguards for his parents.

"It was arranged by the partner company."

"My uncle and I were involved in a project with a relatively large amount of money. The other party was worried about problems with the business documents, so they arranged for security personnel."

"They don't usually affect the family."

Li Xiuyun still had some concerns.

"Is doing business really that dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous; it's just risk management by a legitimate company."

Chen Mo smiled and reassured them, "Do I look like I'm in danger?"

The couple exchanged a glance.

Although many questions still lingered in my mind, my son was sitting perfectly fine in front of me, and his grades consistently ranked first in the city.

With Chen Liping acting as guarantor, they ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

Many ordinary parents do not truly understand the internet, capital, and company equity.

They could only judge in the most basic way that the child hadn't gone astray and that the money was obtained through clean means.

That would be a good thing.

"My sister will be back in a few days."

Chen Mo proactively changed the subject: "I'll explain it to her slowly later."

"If your sister knew how much money you wasted, she would scold you even more harshly than I did," Li Xiuyun said.

Chen Mo felt a headache coming on when he thought about Chen Jing's personality.

The mother would at most say a few words of criticism.

My sister really knows how to twist his ears.

……

Dinner was served quickly.

Braised pork belly, steamed sea bass, stir-fried greens, and a large bowl of steaming corn and pork rib soup.

After moving to the county town, Li Xiuyun's work became much busier than before, but whenever Chen Mo came home, she still made it a habit to cook a few more dishes.

The family of three sat around the dining table.

Chen Jianguo was still criticizing his son for wasting money, but he couldn't hide his joy during the meal. He even broke his rule by opening a bottle of Qing 20 and pouring himself a small glass.

"This wine was a gift from your maternal grandfather."

Li Xiuyun glanced at him: "You used to be so frugal during holidays, why did you open one today?"

"My son made money, can't I be happy?"

Chen Jianguo picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

"But Xiao Mo, you better remember this. Money is a good thing, but you can't let it lead you by the nose."

"Our family used to live an ordinary life, and we did just fine, didn't we?"

Chen Mo nodded.

"Dad, I understand."

He spoke seriously.

These simple truths took him half a lifetime to truly understand in his previous life.

After dinner, Chen Mo took the initiative to clean up the dishes, but Li Xiuyun chased him out of the kitchen.

"You still have to study tomorrow, go back to your room and read."

"You're already number one in the city, why are you still reading books?" Chen Jianguo said from the side.

Li Xiuyun glared at him.

"So, being number one means you don't need to learn? Didn't you just tell him not to be arrogant?"

Chen Jianguo immediately fell silent.

Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and returned to his room.

This bedroom is not big.

The desk, wardrobe, and single bed were all provided by the health bureau.

Li Xiuyun had clearly tidied up carefully; the sheets smelled faintly of sunshine, and there were fruits and milk she had bought in advance on the desk.

Chen Mo took off his coat and sat down at the desk.

Outside the window was a quiet winter night in the county town.

Compared to the lights of Central in Hong Kong and the prosperity of the Kyoto Financial Center, this place is so plain that there is almost nothing to appreciate.

But Chen Mo was able to relax for once. After all, no matter how prosperous the outside world is, home is where your parents are.
