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

Chen Mo returned to Jiangcheng County and enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet at home.

I stayed until the most important provincial mock exam before the college entrance examination.

Not long after dawn, the area outside the school gate was already full of cars.

Parents stood by the roadside, some carrying breakfast, some holding thermos cups, and some even more nervous than the students themselves, repeatedly reminding them of the admission ticket, stationery, and answer sheet pen.

When Chen Mo got out of the car, a long queue had already formed at the school gate.

He didn't let Zhou Zheng park the car too close; he just got out at the street corner and walked over himself.

As soon as I reached the school gate, I heard a slightly hesitant voice.

"Chen Mo?"

He turned his head to look.

Chen Liqin stood not far away, wearing a dark coat and carrying a bag of breakfast.

Su Qingyan was standing next to her.

The girl was wearing the school uniform of the county's No. 1 Middle School, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was holding a transparent pencil case in her arms.

Her eyes lit up noticeably the moment she saw Chen Mo.

"You...you're here for the mock exam today too?" Su Qingyan quickly stepped forward.

Chen Mo smiled gently: "Hmm, Su looks quite well today. How's your studying going?"

The girl proudly raised her chin: "Of course, no problem. But you, you skip class and disappear every day. Are you really confident about this provincial mock exam?"

"Don't worry, first place is mine."

Su Qingyan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

This person is always so confident, but every time he says something, it comes true.

Standing to the side, Chen Liqin looked at the composed young man in front of her, her emotions were extremely complicated.

Ever since that coming-of-age ceremony, her feelings toward Chen Mo have been in turmoil.

Many things in Jiangcheng now revolve around this young man.

Even he and his wife benefited greatly from the boy's scheme to some extent.

But now, Chen Mo is standing at the school gate chatting and laughing with his daughter, looking like just a high school student who came to take a mock exam.

This contrast left Chen Liqin unsure of how to respond to him.

Too close is inappropriate, too distant seems deliberate.

Finally, she could only awkwardly say, "Good luck on your exam."

Chen Mo smiled.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen."

Chen Liqin nodded.

"Qingyan, you can go in now, don't waste time."

Su Qingyan responded.

She and Chen Mo walked side by side into the school gate.

Outside the school gate.

Chen Liqin watched the two figures as they walked away.

When his daughter walked beside Chen Mo, her steps were noticeably lighter, and she talked more than usual.

That undisguised closeness made her, as a mother, feel a pang of sadness and a touch of unspoken worry.

Chen Mo is too outstanding, too dazzling. There is no other person like him in the whole world.

But precisely because of this, he is destined to be surrounded by more dazzling and mature women.

Qingyan is still too naive.

But Chen Liqin asked herself honestly, if she were in her daughter's shoes at that age when she was just beginning to experience love, she would probably act even more crazy than her daughter, clinging to him like a moth to a flame.

"well……"

Watching the two figures disappear completely into the shadows of the teaching building, Chen Liqin could only sigh softly.

……

The province-wide unified exam lasted for two days.

For the first time in the past two days, Chen Mo sat properly in the examination room and honestly completed all the exam questions.

Liu Jianguo passed by him several times while proctoring the exam.

Seeing that he was still answering questions incredibly fast, I felt both angry and relieved.

What's infuriating is that this kid is nowhere to be seen every few days, but what's reassuring is that he hasn't lost his composure.

The bell rang to signal the end of the last subject, English.

A collective sigh of relief filled the examination room.

Someone was groaning and slumped over the table.

Some people immediately started comparing answers.

Chen Mo glanced at his phone; Lin Wan had sent him a message half an hour ago.

He needed to review several important documents from Xingchen Technology.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Su Qingyan paused in her steps.

"So fast?"

"Um."

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Then be careful on your way."

"it is good."

Chen Mo took a few steps, then turned back with a mischievous smile: "Su, you look especially beautiful in your school uniform today."

"ah!"

Su Qingyan was taken aback, her pretty face flushed red, and she said with a slight reproach, "What nonsense are you talking about in public..."

Chen Mo laughed heartily and left gracefully amidst the envious gazes of the senior high school boys.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Guanlan Yujing.

The Xingchen Technology office area is busier than before the Spring Festival. As soon as the Spring Festival holiday was over, the whole company seemed to be put on fast-forward.

The meeting room, converted from a bedroom, was completely occupied.

The project schedule on the wall has been updated again and again.

Some people are discussing due diligence on mining rights, while others are checking bank credit documents.

Several new legal staff members were carrying a thick stack of contracts toward the archives.

When Chen Mo entered Lin Wan's office, she was standing in front of the whiteboard.

The whiteboard is divided into three sections.

Xingxin Mining.

Jiangcheng New Energy Materials Industrial Park.

Douyin Group.

Lin Wan was wearing a light gray business suit, with her long hair tied back.

After a few days apart, she seemed even more capable and efficient.

"Mr. Chen."

She turned around and saw Chen Mo, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Is the exam over?"

"Um."

"How did the exam go?"

"good."

Lin Wan smiled; she now knew about Chen Mo's exaggerated achievements.

"Let's get down to business first."

She handed over a document.

"The provincial state-owned assets department has clearly given Xingxin Mining a pre-investment valuation of nearly 5 billion yuan."

"The first round of capital increase plan has been basically finalized. The provincial industrial fund and the provincial state-owned assets operation platform will jointly invest 1.5 billion yuan."

"Jiangcheng Investment Group invested 500 million yuan."

"Star Technology has simultaneously increased its funding for resource integration."

Chen Mo opened the file.

"What about the shareholding percentage?"

"The final decision will be based on the assessment report."

Lin Wan said, "But the general direction has already been determined."

"Star Technology remains the largest shareholder."

"Your personal shareholding will be diluted to some extent."

"Liu Xin's shareholding platform will also be diluted accordingly."

"The provincial state-owned assets and Jiangcheng Industrial Investment together hold nearly 30% of the shares."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Operating rights?"

"Under the unified management of the board of directors of Xingxin Mining."

"The provincial state-owned assets and Jiangcheng industrial investment association will appoint directors, but will not interfere in daily operations."

"Major acquisitions, external guarantees, and financing exceeding a certain amount require a special board resolution."

"Can."

Chen Mo closed the document.

"This is the result we wanted."

Lin Wan looked at him, still feeling a bit emotional.

Just a few months ago, Xingxin was just a gold mine in Jiangcheng.

Now it has become a resource platform for which the provincial state-owned assets are willing to invest 1.5 billion yuan.

This speed is as fast as riding a rocket.

"What about the consolidation of mining rights?" Chen Mo asked.

Lin Wan changed to another set of materials.

"The first round of due diligence has been completed at the three fluorite mines in Beihe."

"Guangyuan has the fewest problems, so it can be prioritized."

"Hongtai's historical accounts are rather messy, and it has a heavy environmental debt, but the mining area is in a good location."

"Qingling has average reserves, but it is the closest to the future industrial park in terms of transportation distance."

Liu Xin suggested acquiring all three companies, but demanding a lower price from Hongtai.

"Follow Liu Xin's suggestion," Chen Mo said. "Hongtai cannot be bought based on net assets."

"Environmental protection and historical debts should all be included in the discount."

"clear."

Lin Wan continued, "Two lithium mines in the northern part of the western province have entered the reserve verification stage."

"One site is smaller in scale, but the mining rights are clear. The other site may have better reserves, but the equity structure is complex, and further investigation is needed."

"Lock up the exclusive rights first. Don't rush to transfer the money."

"it is good."

Lin Wan then pointed to the second whiteboard.

"The cooperation between Duofuduo and Tianci Materials has also been basically finalized."

"The first phase of the Duofuduo project has been confirmed to be located in the Jiangcheng New Energy Materials Industrial Park."

"The first phase of construction will be a lithium hexafluorophosphate production line, and a pilot production line for electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid will also be planned."

"Tianci Materials is willing to set up a joint venture for electrolyte materials in Jiangcheng, but they require Xingxin Mining to provide long-term guarantees for upstream lithium resource supply."

Chen Mo asked, "Yes, everything was agreed upon beforehand. Has the shareholding ratio been determined?"

"Still under negotiation."

Lin Wan said, "But the general direction is that Xingchen Technology, Deer Technology, the partners, and Jiangcheng Investment will jointly hold shares."

"The county will provide land and supporting facilities. The province also intends to include it in the special project for the new energy materials industry."

Chen Mo walked to the whiteboard and looked at the lines.

Jiangcheng, this small county town, is finally no longer just a remote place name on the map.

It is being gradually pulled into the next industrial cycle.

"Where's Douyin?"

Lin Wan flipped to the last document.

"Zhang Nan's team is making great progress. The campus challenge plan has been finalized."

"The first batch of seed user invitations has been finalized. The server expansion budget has also been approved."

"It is expected to be officially launched in a week."

Chen Mo nodded.

After the report, the office fell silent.

Outside the window, the setting sun casts its golden light on the lake surface of Guanlan Yujing, half golden and half deep blue.

Lin Wan closed the file, but did not leave immediately.

She looked at the weariness in Chen Mo's eyes and softened her voice.

"Mr. Chen."

"Um?"

"Have you been getting enough rest lately?"

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and smiled, "It's alright, I'm used to it."

"That's a lie."

Lin Wan pursed her red lips slightly, surprisingly exposing his lie.

After saying that, she seemed to realize that her words were a bit inappropriate, and her ears turned slightly red, but she did not back down.

She got up and walked behind Chen Mo. Her well-fitting pencil skirt rippled a tight, smooth curve around her waist and hips as she moved.

The office was quiet, with only the soft sound of her high heels clicking on the carpet.

A faint, cool woody scent mixed with the warmth of a mature woman instantly enveloped Chen Mo.

Chen Mo tilted his head slightly: "What is President Lin going to do?"

"massage."

Lin Wan gently rolled up her sleeves a little, revealing a section of her fair and slender wrist.

"After you massaged me last time, I specifically learned how to do it."

"You learned it specifically?" Chen Mo closed his eyes in surprise.

"Um."

Her fingertips landed on Chen Mo's temples, feeling a slight coolness.

Chen Mo wanted to say something more.

Lin Wan's pressure was more comfortable than he had imagined. Her fingertips slowly massaged along his temples, then down his forehead to the back of his neck.

The fatigue that had been building up for several days was gradually dissipated.

"President Lin has learned well."

Lin Wan stood behind him, a slight smile curving her lips.

"To receive praise from General Manager Chen, it seems my training was worthwhile."

As his fingertips circled the back of his head, Chen Mo unconsciously leaned back.

The next second, the back of my head gently brushed against something soft.

The two of them stopped at the same time.

The air in the office felt as if it had been gently scalded by something.

Lin Wan froze in mid-air. She looked down at Chen Mo, who was leaning against her, and her cheeks flushed red almost instantly.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, and after a moment, whispered, "I'm sorry."

Lin Wan's breathing became slightly erratic, but she did not back down.

"fine."

After saying that, as if to hide her panic, she put her fingers back down on his temple.

"Don't move."

Chen Mo chuckled softly.

Lin Wan blushed even more.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing."

"Then close your eyes."

Chen Mo really closed his eyes.

Lin Wan continued to massage him, but this time, her movements were much slower than before.

From the temples to the brow bone, and then to the back of the neck, each stroke was deliberate.

After a long silence, Chen Mo finally spoke:

"Lin Wan".

"Um?"

"Thanks a lot."

Lin Wan's fingers paused slightly.

She looked down at him.

The setting sun shone through the glass window and fell on Chen Mo's profile, softening his young yet serene face.

Lin Wan's heart suddenly softened completely.

"I'm not tired."

Her voice was very soft.

"I'm already so lucky to be able to stay by your side."

Chen Mo did not open his eyes again, nor did he respond.

This small office, however, had a rare moment of warmth.
