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

After dropping Su Qingyan off, Chen Mo didn't go straight home. Instead, he had Zhou Zheng drive to Guanlan Yujing.

The streetlights in the villa area were lit quietly, and the lake surface was rippling with fine waves as the night breeze blew.

As Chen Mo passed by the Xingchen Technology office area, he suddenly noticed that the lights were still on on the second floor of Villa No. 18.

He frowned.

"parking."

Zhou Zheng immediately moved aside.

"Mr. Chen?"

"I'll go in and take a look."

Chen Mo pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The employees of Xingchen Technology have all gone home.

Only a few small lights were left on in the first-floor office area, and folders and coffee cups were scattered on the workstations.

As Chen Mo went upstairs, he vaguely heard Lin Wan's hushed voice.

"Mom, I've been really busy lately."

"I know, but I'm not thinking about it right now."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.

Lin Wan remained silent for a few seconds.

When he spoke again, his voice was noticeably tired.

"It's not that I'm not considering marriage."

"I just don't want to go on blind dates right now."

"Please stop introducing me to people."

Chen Mo stood outside the door and tapped lightly twice on the door panel with his fingers.

The sounds inside suddenly stopped.

After two seconds, Lin Wan said, "Go in."

Chen Mo pushed open the door and went in.

Lin Wan stood beside the desk, her phone still pressed against her ear.

Upon seeing it was him, his eyes visibly faltered for a moment.

"Mom, I have something to do here, I'll hang up now."

She didn't wait for the other person to continue before hanging up the phone.

The office fell silent.

On the table were several financial arrangement sheets from Douyin's Series A funding round, as well as approval documents for special expenditures of Xingxin Mining.

Chen Mo glanced at it and said, "Why aren't you going home so late?"

Lin Wan put her phone on the table and smiled gently.

"There are still a few documents I haven't finished reviewing."

"The materials won't run away tomorrow."

Chen Mo walked to the table, picked up a cup of coffee, which was completely cold.

He frowned and put the cup back.

"Drink less cold coffee."

Lin Wan looked down at the cup, her voice softening slightly.

"understood."

Chen Mo looked at her.

"Home phone number?"

Lin Wan gently pinched the edge of the document with her fingertips.

"Yes." She didn't hide anything, "My mom wants me to go back to be on blind dates again."

Chen Mo didn't speak.

Lin Wan smiled, as if afraid the atmosphere would become too somber.

"It's normal, actually. In their eyes, I'm already quite old."

"Working at the bank was good before; at least the job was stable and people thought it was respectable."

"Now that we're in Jiangcheng, my family doesn't know exactly what Xingchen Technology does."

"They just think that I'm all alone out there, busy with work, and there's no one to take care of me."

She paused here.

"That's why I'm in a hurry."

Chen Mo pulled out a chair and sat down.

What do you think?

Lin Wan raised her head.

The light fell on her face, making her fatigue very clear.

She was wearing a beige knit sweater today, with her coat draped over the back of the chair, and her long hair loosely tied up.

Lin Wan looked at Chen Mo but did not answer immediately.

The only sound in the office was the soft hum of the air conditioner.

A while later.

Lin Wan asked softly, "Does President Chen really not know?"

Chen Mo remained silent. He did not avoid her gaze, but he also did not respond.

Lin Wan smiled, feeling neither disappointed nor resentful, but rather as if she had known the answer all along.

After all, someone as dazzling as President Chen is perhaps only a suitable match for Miss Lu, who comes from a prominent family.

Actually, I haven't decided yet.

She pretended to organize documents and proactively changed the subject.

"Although I'm very busy every day, I don't feel tired."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

"Star Technology has given me so much satisfaction; you've put me in a position that doesn't belong to me."

Chen Mo interrupted her, saying calmly, "No one's position is given to them. Lin Wan, you are in this position because you are worthy of Star Technology's ambition, and I am very satisfied with you."

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Lin Wan's eyes instantly reddened.

She quickly lowered her head: "I'll take what Mr. Chen says seriously."

Looking at this seemingly strong but actually weak woman, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little softer inside.

"If you don't want to go on a blind date, then don't go."

Lin Wan's fingers stopped, and the office was silent for a few seconds.

Chen Mo continued, "Just say your boss won't approve your leave."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and left.

Lin Wan stood still.

After a long while, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

……

Chen Mo walked out of Villa No. 18.

The night breeze was cool, and the shadows of the trees by the lake swayed gently under the streetlights.

He didn't get in the car immediately, but instead walked slowly along the path for a while.

Zhou Zheng followed at a distance, without approaching to disturb them.

As the night deepened, countless streams of light seemed to intertwine in Chen Mo's mind.

Su Qingyan, Lin Wan, and Lu Jingyi.

Yi Nuo Yi Ran, Zhi Xia.

Even Xu Qing, who sat in his lap that time.

In his past life, he couldn't even protect one person.

Missed opportunities, let down, remained silent, and retreated.

In the end, they all turned into regrets.

But in this life, he seems to have moved too fast.

Those who were close by were also drawn into his fate.

Chen Mo gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He knew, of course, that he was not some innocent and naive young man, and that in the world's moral narrative, this path of juggling multiple relationships was not honorable, and could even be considered selfish and greedy.

But if you ask him to learn from those so-called gentlemen, to pretend to be deaf and dumb for the sake of so-called moral reputation, to push away this and refuse that, and finally put on an innocent look of "deep affection but shallow fate, unable to do as he pleases"?

He couldn't do it, and he didn't want to miss out again.

I don't want to leave my fate to what I'm supposed to do.

Since I've been given a second chance at life.

Now that the decision has been made to seize wealth, industry, power, and the future,

What about feelings? Why should we give in?

People often say that children make choices, while adults learn to make trade-offs.

But he simply didn't want to choose, and he absolutely refused to give up.

The wind blew across the lake, scattering the reflections of the streetlights on the water in a dappled, golden light.

Chen Mo stopped and looked at the shattered gold, then suddenly smiled with relief.

That night, he finally stopped running away from the deepest greed in his heart.

Chen Mo turned around and walked towards the car.

He turned around and walked towards the black car.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Zheng immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the back door for him.

"Mr. Chen, are you going home?"

"Return."

The car door closed, shutting out the cold wind from outside.

The black sedan slowly drove into the night.

That night, the newly emerging young tycoon of Jiangcheng finally tore off his disguise.

Unleash the most greedy and authentic beast within your heart.
