"At first, it was stock trading."
Chen Mo said.
Li Xiuyun was stunned for a moment.
"Stock trading?"
"Um."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Didn't I tell you before that I made some money in the stock market?"
Li Xiuyun subconsciously said, "You call that a little bit?"
When Chen Mo brought home 50,000 yuan, she was already quite frightened.
Later, with the purchase of a mobile phone, the request for leave of absence, and the chauffeured service, she had already begun to have her suspicions.
Chen Mo always downplayed it.
"There weren't many at the beginning."
Chen Mo said, "Later, the market was good, and I was lucky enough to catch a few stocks."
"Later, I met some people who were in the investment business through my uncle."
"My uncle is starting a business and needs funding, and I also happen to want to do something."
"That's how the company came about."
Chen Jianguo asked, "Starry Sky Technology?"
"right."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Star Technology is mine."
The living room fell silent.
Even though they were mentally prepared, Chen Jianguo and Li Xiuyun were still stunned by those words.
Star Technology.
Who in Jiangcheng doesn't know Xingchen Technology these days?
It invested in Deer Technology.
It controls Xingxin Mining.
The Douyin project is related to it.
The new energy materials industry chain that the county talks about every day is inseparable from it.
Li Xiuyun's lips moved.
"You mean, that Star Technology company on TV, it's yours?"
"Um."
"Is Lin Wan working for you?"
Strictly speaking, she is the CEO of Star Technology, responsible for daily management.
"What about Xingxin Mining?"
"Star Technology is the major shareholder."
"Where's Douyin?"
"Star Technology is also one of the major shareholders."
Li Xiuyun, supporting herself on the coffee table, slowly sat down on the sofa.
She felt she needed to slow down.
Chen Jianguo's expression changed several times.
He suddenly remembered something his colleagues had said in a recent chat.
They say Xingxin Mining offers good benefits.
They say Xingchen Technology has a deep background.
They say Jiangcheng needs this company to turn its fortunes around in the next few years.
Some people joked that if their child could get a job at Xingxin Mining in the future, their life would be secure.
He and his wife even discussed a few days ago whether Chen Mo could join Xingxin Mining.
But now Chen Mo is sitting in front of him and saying that the company is his!
Chen Jianguo was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
"Where did you get so much money?"
His voice was a little hoarse.
Chen Mo had already prepared his explanation.
"I made some money in the stock market."
"My uncle also helped a lot."
"Later, we partnered with other institutions, and the amount of capital we had grew significantly."
"Later, several projects invested in by Xingchen Technology developed relatively quickly, and banks and the government also provided support."
He kept it as simple as possible.
The most dangerous and exaggerated parts were all suppressed.
Even so, it was already quite astonishing for Chen Jianguo and Li Xiuyun.
Li Xiuyun felt her mind go blank; hearing these words coming from her own son's mouth, she even felt a sense of absurdity.
She clearly remembered that just a few months ago, Chen Mo was a senior high school student who was worried about the college entrance examination.
The biggest worry at home is whether he can maintain his grades and get into a good university.
How come in the blink of an eye, the things he's talking about have turned into companies, equity, and investments?
"so……"
Li Xiuyun looked at him, her voice trembling slightly.
"How much money do you actually have right now?"
Chen Mo did not answer immediately; this was the most difficult question to answer.
If you don't tell them enough, their parents will eventually realize something is wrong.
If we talk too much, they might not be able to sleep tonight.
"Mom, the exact numbers change every day."
He softened his tone.
"But you and Dad don't need to worry about money. I can take care of everything at home from now on."
Li Xiuyun suddenly burst into tears.
Chen Mo was taken aback.
"mom?"
Li Xiuyun raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, but she couldn't suppress her voice.
"Who asked you that?"
"Do your father and I lack your money?"
"We're worried about you getting into trouble. How old are you?"
"What exactly are you busy with every day?"
"Those people are all big bosses and high-ranking officials. What if you, a child, get scammed while you're stuck in the middle?"
"What if something goes wrong?"
The living room fell silent.
Looking at his mother's reddened eyes, Chen Mo suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
After his rebirth, he moved forward too quickly.
He quickly became accustomed to dealing with capital, officials, professors, and investment banks.
I've gotten used to solving problems with future memories, and I've gotten used to putting all the risks into my head and dissecting them slowly.
But in his parents' eyes, he was always just their son.
It's just that son who comes home late, who worries them, and who runs around everywhere before the college entrance exam.
Chen Jianguo remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Your mother is right. Having more money is a good thing, and a big thing."
"But the more things are like this, the less we should let ourselves get carried away, and even more so, we must not go astray."
He looked at Chen Mo, his tone more solemn than ever before.
"Remember this, our family doesn't expect you to be a big boss."
"Your safety and well-being are more important than anything else."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Dad, Mom, I know."
"There are boundaries to everything I do. I won't do anything illegal, nor will I risk my family's safety."
Li Xiuyun looked at him.
"So, will you still hide it from us from now on?"
Chen Mo gave a wry smile.
"Some business matters are too complicated, and I'm afraid you'll worry about them."
"But I will tell you what concerns my safety and life."
Li Xiuyun was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
But she also knew that her son could no longer report everything to her like a normal high school student.
She lowered her head and remained silent for a long while before asking softly:
"That Lin Wan..."
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong with her?"
Li Xiuyun looked at him.
"Does she know about these things?"
"Know."
"Has she been helping you all along?"
"Um."
Li Xiuyun didn't ask any more questions.
But her eyes were clearly much more complicated.
That girl was beautiful, capable, and eloquent. Judging from how she interacted with Chen Mo, they were definitely not like ordinary superiors and subordinates.
There was just too much information right now, and her mind was in such a mess that she simply didn't have the energy to think about it any further.
Chen Jianguo also rubbed his temples.
This morning was more exciting for the couple than the past ten years combined.
The news kept coming in, leaving people with mixed feelings.
There's a surprise.
Pride also exists.
But more than anything, there was confusion and fear.
They didn't know how to face a son who had suddenly become so unfamiliar, yet still sat in front of them calling them Mom and Dad.
Li Xiuyun looked at Chen Mo and suddenly reached out to touch his face.
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, but did not dodge.
"Are you still my son?"
She said softly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he leaned down to gently hug his mother's shoulders.
"Mom, I always have been."
His eyes also reddened, just like when he was a child and had been wronged, he would snuggle in her arms and say, "It's just... I've grown up a little too fast."
Li Xiuyun's hand gripped the fabric of his shirt on the back.
The clothes were from a brand she didn't recognize, but the warmth of his hand beneath her palm was one she had known for eighteen years.
She suddenly lost her strength, resting her forehead on his shoulder, her shoulder trembling slightly.
Chen Mo felt a little dampness seeping into his shoulder, but he didn't move or say anything.
The only sounds in the living room were the soft ticking of the clock on the wall and the heavy sniffing of Chen Jianguo, the father.
After a long while, Li Xiuyun pushed him away, glaring at him with red eyes: "You... when you were little, you would cry for ages if you fell down, but now you're carrying the burden of everything on your own?"
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but Chen Mo gently pulled her wrist.
"Mom," he said, his thumb brushing away the tears from the corner of her eyes, his voice softening, "you loved me back then. Now... it's my turn to love you all."
Li Xiuyun froze, her lips trembled again, and in the end she simply turned around and grasped his hand tightly.
Chen Jianguo coughed beside him, turned his face away, and said in a muffled voice, "Alright, what are you crying about?"
"As long as my son is doing well, that's the most important thing."
After he finished speaking, he looked down and reached for a cigarette.
After searching for a while, he finally remembered that Li Xiuyun had taken the cigarette box long ago.
Chen Mo smiled when he saw his father's action.
Chen Jianguo glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing," Chen Mo shook his head, "I just think Dad, you should smoke less."
"Now that you're a boss, you've started interfering with your father?"
Chen Jianguo said this, but he withdrew his hand from the coffee table.
The atmosphere in the living room finally relaxed a bit.
Li Xiuyun wiped away her tears, turned around, and went into the kitchen.
"I'll go cook."
"Mom, let me do it."
"You sit down."
Li Xiuyun didn't even turn her head.
"The Tsinghua University graduate who was specially recruited and is now the boss of Xingchen Technology, will also have to eat your mother's noodles today."
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then smiled.
"it is good."
Soon the sound of running water came from the kitchen.
Chen Jianguo sat on the sofa, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
He paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Those companies you just mentioned, are they really not involved in any illegal activities?"
"no."
Has anyone forced you to do something you don't want to do?
"no."
Are the people around you reliable?
Chen Mo thought for a moment.
"reliable."
Chen Jianguo frowned: "Where's the driver? Is he a bodyguard?"
"I guess so, I was a soldier before."
Chen Jianguo fell silent.
After a while, he said, "It's good to have someone with you when you go out in the future."
"With more money comes more trouble."
When the father said those words, it meant he had already accepted part of the reality.
Chen Mo did not refute.
"I will be careful."
Chen Jianguo nodded.
Neither the father nor the son spoke for a moment.
The sound of pot lids gently clinking came from the kitchen, followed by the bubbling of boiling water.
Chen Mo sat on the sofa, listening to the smoky atmosphere, and his heart gradually calmed down.
At that moment, Chen Mo suddenly understood.
He can explain the company, its funding, equity, and future to the outside world.
But in this family, what he needed to prove most was never how successful he was, but that he was still their son.
