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

3 PM, Mingde Experimental Middle School.

The school bell had just rung when the campus, which had been quiet all semester, instantly erupted in excitement.

Students dragged their suitcases as they poured out of the dormitory building.

The area outside the school gate was filled with private cars that had come to pick people up.

The black Audi A8 was parked quietly by the roadside. Zhou Zheng stood beside the car, while Han Weidong and Qin Feng remained in the SUV behind it and did not get out.

Not long after, two almost identical figures appeared at the school gate.

Both sisters were wearing dark blue school uniforms with white down jackets over them.

Chu Yinuo pulled a silver suitcase, her steps quiet.

Chu Yiran, carrying a backpack and a duffel bag, searched the crowd with her eyes.

Her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Chen Mo by the roadside.

"Brother Chen Mo!"

Chu Yiran shoved her luggage into her sister's hands and ran straight towards Chen Mo.

Caught off guard, Chu Yinuo nearly lost her grip on the unexpectedly appearing bag.

"still!"

"Sis, hurry up!"

Chu Yiran ran up to Chen Mo, her joy undisguised.

"You really came!"

"When have I ever broken a promise I made to you?"

"You said you'd come to see us soon, but it's been so long since you came."

Chu Yiran tilted her head back and ruthlessly brought up old grievances.

"Doesn't that count?"

"Not really."

"Then I'll go back."

Chen Mo turned around as if to leave.

Chu Yiran immediately grabbed his sleeve.

"Let's calculate!"

She clung tightly to Chen Mo's arm, afraid that he would really leave.

Chu Yinuo dragged her luggage closer and saw her sister's appearance, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Stop messing around, Brother Chen Mo just arrived."

"Ino."

Chen Mo took the suitcase from her hand, his gaze falling on her right shoulder.

"Is the injury completely healed?"

"It's all over now."

Chu Yinuo raised her arm and moved it gently a few times.

"No one at school is bullying you anymore, right?"

"No, everyone respects us now."

She answered earnestly, then asked softly, "Brother Chen Mo, did you come all the way from Jiangcheng to pick us up today?"

"I took care of some things in the provincial capital this morning."

"I knew it."

Chu Yiran immediately interjected, "He definitely didn't come here specifically for this purpose."

Chu Yinuo glared at her younger sister.

Chen Mo reached out and tapped Yiran's head.

"I came specifically to pick you up after I finished my business, doesn't that count as a special trip?"

"Barely."

Chu Yiran was critical, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Zhou Zheng took the luggage from the group and put it in the trunk.

After the two sisters sat in the back row, Chu Yiran immediately leaned over to the middle of the front seat.

"Brother Chen Mo, shall we go straight back to Jiangcheng?"

"We'll take you back to your maternal grandfather's house first."

Why?

"Grandpa Chu is waiting at home; you should have a meal with him."

Chu Yiran was immediately disappointed.

"And what about you?"

"I have other things to do."

Aren't you going to have dinner with us?

"I'll have plenty of time once I get back to Jiangcheng."

"It's settled then."

Chu Yiran immediately held up her little finger: "When we get back, you have to treat my sister and me to a big meal."

Chen Mo glanced at her fingers, which were dangling in mid-air.

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Shall we pinky swear?"

"What's wrong with Seventeen?"

Chu Yiran said matter-of-factly, "You're only a year older than us."

This statement left Chen Mo speechless for a moment.

Judging from their appearance, that's certainly the case.

He could only extend his finger and lightly hook it with the girl's.

It's a deal.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now."

Chu Yiran sat back down, completely satisfied.

Chu Yinuo looked at the two of them, her eyes curving into a gentle smile.

……

The vehicle slowly drove away from the school.

The winter sun shines brightly outside the window, and red lanterns welcoming the Spring Festival have been hung on both sides of the street.

Having been confined to a boarding school for a long time, Chu Yiran seemed to have suddenly flown out of her cage, and her mouth hardly stopped the whole way.

She complained that the cafeteria had the same menu every day for the last two weeks, grumbled about the math teacher running overtime, and then enthusiastically talked about the reactions of her classmates after they found out that Song Jiaqi and others had dropped out of school.

"Our new homeroom teacher is great," Chu Yiran said. "Ms. Shen moved us to the front row and even had the class monitor help us catch up on the notes we had missed before."

"But Principal Gao is particularly strange."

"What's so strange?"

"He's been hanging around our classroom door every day lately."

Chu Yiran imitated the principal's posture of inspecting the area with his hands behind his back.

"Every time they see us, they smile and ask if we're tired from studying or if we're having any difficulties in life."

"The dorm supervisor has suddenly become really nice to us. Yesterday she even asked my sister if her blanket was thick enough."

Chen Mo naturally knew the reason.

"Isn't it good to you?"

"That's great, but it's also strange."

Chu Yiran narrowed her eyes: "Brother Chen Mo, what exactly did you say to the principal that day?"

"Make him take the students seriously."

"It's that simple?"

"Otherwise what?"

Chu Yiran clearly didn't believe it, but couldn't find any evidence to refute it. She looked out the window, but was soon attracted by the street stalls selling candied hawthorns.

"It's been so long since I've had candied hawthorns."

Chen Mo glanced at Zhou Zheng, and the Audi pulled over to the side of the road.

A few minutes later, Chu Yiran got the two strings of candied hawthorns she wanted.

She first handed a string of skewers to her sister, then took out her phone and filmed a video of herself and Chu Yinuo.

"First day of holiday!"

"Brother Chen Mo came to pick us up and take us home, and he even bought us candied hawthorns!"

After she finished speaking, she turned the camera towards Chen Mo.

"Brother Chen Mo, look here."

Chen Mo was browsing through the report Lin Wan had sent him on his phone when he looked up at it.

Chu Yiran brought the camera closer.

In the picture, Chen Mo is wearing a black coat, his profile is clearly defined in the winter sunlight, and his expression is somewhat helpless.

"How is it?"

Chu Yiran showed the video to her sister.

"It looks pretty good."

Chu Yinuo looked at it for a few seconds and said softly.

I don't know if she was referring to the video or the person in the video.

I think so too.

Chu Yiran said excitedly, "It would be even better if we added some music."

Chen Mo paused slightly as he flipped through the report, then looked up at the back row.

Chu Yiran held up her phone, her expression lively and bright.

Chu Yinuo sat quietly beside her, occasionally showing a helpless smile because of her sister's antics.

Two almost identical beautiful faces, but completely opposite personalities.

Twins are inherently highly recognizable. If they are put into short videos, the simplest costume changes, timing, or contrasting designs are enough to attract a lot of attention.

More importantly, they are not professional actors, and they still retain the most authentic youthful feeling of high school girls.

This is exactly what Douyin needed most in its early days.

"still."

"What's wrong?"

Do you like making videos?

"I like it."

Chu Yiran waved her phone: "The school doesn't allow cell phones, otherwise I would have taken a lot of pictures already."

"Where is Ino?"

Chu Yinuo didn't expect Chen Mo to suddenly ask her that question.

"I'm not very good at taking photos."

"You don't need to know."

Looking at the two sisters, Chen Mo already had several complete plans in mind.

Twins changing clothes, mirrored dances in matching outfits, the older sister studying quietly while the younger sister makes a ruckus.

Even a simple turn to switch positions can create incredibly interesting visual effects.

There are two most suitable people right in front of us for the first batch of seed creators on Douyin.

"I recently participated in the development of a photography software."

Chen Mo said, "I'll give it to you to try in a few days."

"Is this the project you did with Uncle Chen?"

"Um."

"Can you add music?"

"Can."

"Can you add a filter?"

"Can."

"Could you make my sister look a little uglier than me in the photo?"

"Can't."

Chu Yinuo finally couldn't help but reach out and pinch her younger sister.

"Chu Yiran!"

A girl's clear laughter rang out from inside the car.

Chen Mo leaned back in his seat, a smile appearing in his eyes.

The first pair of twin creators on Douyin have been found.

……

4:30 PM.

Chu Zhenhua was already waiting at the entrance of the Chu family's residential compound in the provincial capital.

After the car came to a stop, the two sisters got out one after the other.

"Grandpa!"

Chu Yiran rushed over and hugged the old man's arm.

Chu Zhenhua scolded her for being unruly, but his smile was exceptionally kind.

"Chen Mo."

He took the initiative to come over.

"I've troubled you to make this trip again."

"Grandpa Chu, you're too kind. It's just on my way."

"What do you mean, 'on the way'?"

Chu Yiran immediately exposed him: "Brother Chen Mo went to the High-tech Zone this morning. The school and Grandpa's house are not even in the same direction."

Chu Zhenhua's smile deepened.

"Stay for dinner tonight."

"No, I have some things to do and I need to get back to Jiangcheng tonight."

Chen Mo looked at the two sisters.

"You all stay with Grandpa first, I'll have the driver pick him up later."

"You said you would treat us to dinner."

Chu Yiran reminded him.

"I can't forget it."

"Where are you going?"

"Picking out a birthday gift for a friend."

"Male or female?"

Chu Yiran almost blurted it out.

Chen Mo glanced at her.

"A woman."

The two sisters' expressions changed subtly at the same time.

Chu Yiran's smile faded slightly.

Chu Yinuo gently pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

Who is it?

Chu Yiran continued to press for answers.

"classmate."

"Is it pretty?"

"There are too many problems."

Chen Mo raised his hand and pressed down on her head.

See you tonight.

After he finished speaking, he bid farewell to Chu Zhenhua and turned to get into his car.

Chu Yiran watched the Audi slowly drive away and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Buying a birthday present, that classmate is definitely not an ordinary classmate."

Chu Yinuo didn't reply, but just stared blankly in the direction where the car disappeared.

……

The center of Changhu City.

Jinrui Jewelry is one of the largest jewelry stores in the provincial capital.

Chen Mo originally planned to pick out a necklace for Su Qingyan.

I walked around the counter but couldn't find a style that was particularly suitable.

The sales assistant took out a platinum necklace studded with diamonds.

"Sir, this is our new style this year, it's perfect for young girls."

Chen Mo glanced at it a few times, then shook his head.

"Too mature."

Just then, a rough, loud voice suddenly came from outside the glass door.

"Mr. Chen?"

Chen Mo turned his head.

Liu Xin, wearing a thick black jacket and followed by her third brother, walked into the jewelry store with a look of surprise on her face.

"Oh, what a coincidence! It really is you!"

Liu Xin laughed and said, "I just came out of the mining equipment company next door and saw that A8 in the distance. It looked like the car you drove last time."

"Why did Mr. Liu end up in the provincial capital?"

"There are still a few issues with the equipment and ownership list acquired by Longxin. I've come here to find an appraisal agency."

Liu Xin glanced at the jewelry displayed on the counter, and her expression immediately became somewhat gossipy.

"Who is Mr. Chen buying this for?"

"A female classmate."

"So it's my future boss's wife..."

"Just classmates."

Chen Mo glanced at him indifferently.

Liu Xin immediately corrected herself: "Yes, classmate, important classmate."

His face was full of "I understand" expressions.

Chen Mo was too lazy to explain.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"Then you've come to the right person."

Liu Xin perked up.

"These items in the jewelry store are expensive, but nothing is unique."

"I do have something good in my possession."

"What?"

"Jadeite," Liu Xin said in a low voice, "and it's high-grade icy green."

Chen Mo looked at him with some surprise.

Even today, jade of this quality is not an ordinary item that can be found everywhere.

How come you have that in your hand?

"More than ten years ago, before I founded Longxin, I contracted mining roads and earthwork projects with others in southern Yunnan."

Liu Xin recalled: "At that time, a Burmese mine owner owed us money for a project and offered several pieces of jadeite rough as payment."

"My colleagues all said it was a broken stone, but I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I had someone cut it open."

"One of the pieces was cut directly and revealed to be a high-quality, fully green color with excellent translucency."

As he said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Later, I used part of it to make two bracelets and a few small ornaments."

"And a pair of earrings."

"The material used wasn't large, but these were the two areas with the most even color and the cleanest appearance in the entire piece of material."

"I originally planned to leave it to my daughter-in-law, but that good-for-nothing son of mine doesn't even have a girlfriend."

Liu Xin patted her chest.

"If Mr. Chen is interested, I'll have someone bring it from home right now."

"Need not."

Chen Mo said, "A gentleman does not take what others cherish."

"What do you call stealing someone else's possession?"

Liu Xin immediately waved his hand: "After Longxin merged into Xingxin, the shares I hold are worth 1.3 billion. Following President Chen, I, Old Liu, have never seen such a large family business in my entire life."

"What's a pair of earrings? Besides, good things should be given to those who deserve them."

As he said this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"It's too formal for an 18-year-old girl to wear a necklace."

"Earrings are different."

"The items are valuable, but they are not ostentatious."

"Perfect."

Chen Mo's heart stirred slightly. Su Qingyan had a cold personality and usually dressed simply.

A pair of exquisite jadeite earrings, full of green color, definitely suited her better than a diamond necklace.

However, he wasn't going to take it for free.

"Bring the items here, I'll buy them at market price."

"Mr. Chen, aren't you just embarrassing me?"

"Even between brothers, accounts should be kept clear," Chen Mo said. "If you don't want the money, then I won't take it."

Liu Xin understood his personality and had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let's go check out the things first."

Half an hour later.

The third brother retrieved a sandalwood jewelry box from Liu Xin's villa in the provincial capital.

The box lid is opened.

On the black velvet, a pair of emerald green earrings lay quietly.

The design is not complicated.

The two jade pieces were polished into small, round teardrop shapes, without any elaborate diamonds around them, and were only secured with a fine platinum setting.

As the lights fell, the rich and translucent green seemed to be encased in a pool of clear water.

The seed is lustrous and the color is pure.

The two jade pieces are almost identical in size and color.

It is indeed a rare and excellent product.

Chen Mo looked at it for a moment.

The image of Su Qingyan in a white dress, with her long black hair tied up, came to mind.

This clear, light green should suit her very well.

"I want it."

Liu Xin immediately grinned.

"I knew it! This thing is meant for you."

"How much?"

"The material didn't cost much back then..."

"State the market price."

Liu Xin hesitated for a moment.

"These earrings are made with a small amount of material, but the quality and color are excellent. If you take them to an auction house now, they'll probably be worth between 1.2 million and 1.5 million."

"Okay, here's two million."

"No!"

Liu Xin quickly refused.

"Mr. Chen, 1.2 million is already too much."

"One million five hundred thousand."

Chen Mo took out his phone: "Don't push it anymore. You know, a few hundred thousand is nothing to me."

Liu Xin was momentarily speechless upon hearing Chen Mo's words. She thought to herself, "That makes sense. President Chen invests hundreds of millions of yuan at a time, so a few hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean."

"become."

He had no choice but to accept it.

Chen Mo closed the sandalwood box and held it in his hand.

This gift came at just the right time; this time, I won't break my promise again.
