The following evening, in the small county town.
When Chen Mo pushed open the door with his suitcase, he was greeted not by a hot meal, but by his mother Li Xiuyun's face, which seemed frozen.
"You've really grown some guts, Chen Mo? During the seven-day National Day holiday, you went to the provincial capital to visit your uncle, and that's one thing, but you've gotten so bold as to secretly go to Kyoto all by yourself?!" Li Xiuyun slammed her hand on the table, making the water glass rattle.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mo knew that his sister Chen Jing must have "betrayed" him about his affairs in Kyoto.
However, with her uncle Chen Liping covering for her on the phone beforehand, saying that Chen Mo was helping him deliver some important software data to Kyoto, her mother didn't suspect anything else.
"Mom, I was just going to visit my sister on the way..." Chen Mo immediately put on the face of an obedient high school student and leaned forward. "Besides, Uncle is starting a business, so it's only right that I help him out."
"Stop grinning at me!" Li Xiuyun glared at him, but her tone had softened a bit. Clearly, her uncle's endorsement had worked. "Your sister told me on WeChat that you even used your own saved allowance to buy her a new phone? You've got some conscience after all."
After a pause, Li Xiuyun's gaze sharpened again. She reached out and tapped Chen Mo's forehead: "But don't think you can get away with just a little flattery! The monthly exam results should be out by tomorrow at school, right? Let me tell you, if you don't get into the top ten in your class this time, I won't hesitate to punish you! All your allowance will be confiscated, and you're not allowed to go anywhere on weekends except to study at home!"
"Don't worry, Mom, we'll definitely be in the top ten..."
While dealing with his mother's barrage of questions, Chen Mo discreetly slipped his hand into his pocket and blindly typed a string of QQ messages, sending them out: 【Come to my house immediately! It's an emergency!】
Less than a minute after the message was sent, light footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.
"Aunt Li! Are you home?"
Accompanied by a clear and melodious call, two slender and tall figures entered the main room.
What followed was an extremely fresh, youthful fragrance that instantly brightened up the slightly old room.
The Chu sisters, Chu Yinuo and Chu Yiran, wore the dresses that Chen Mo had taken them to buy last time, and their hair was tied in neat ponytails, making them look exceptionally youthful.
"Oh my, it's Yinuo and Yiran! Come in, come in!" As soon as Li Xiuyun saw the two well-behaved and beautiful twins, her shrewish face vanished instantly, and she smiled so broadly that her wrinkles spread out. "Have you eaten yet? Auntie is just about to start cooking."
"Auntie, we've already eaten!" The lively Chu Yinuo's eyes darted around. "We're here to ask Brother Chen Mo for help with our studies! We have a quiz tomorrow, and there are a few difficult physics problems we just can't figure out, so we've come to Brother Chen Mo for help. Auntie, can we borrow him for a little while?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Explaining the problems is a good thing!" Li Xiuyun nodded repeatedly, but when she turned to look at Chen Mo, her face hardened. "Did you hear me? Explain it properly to the younger girls, or you'll regret it!"
"Alright! Mission accomplished!"
Chen Mo felt like she'd been granted a pardon. She grabbed her backpack from the sofa, gave her two sisters a wink, and said, "Mom, let's talk outside then, so we don't disturb you while you're doing your chores. I won't be eating dinner at home!"
Before Li Xiuyun could react, Chen Mo had already grabbed one of them with each hand and slipped out of the yard.
Chen Mo finally let go of her hand and breathed a long sigh of relief when he reached the edge of the village.
"Phew... Thanks, ladies. If I had arrived any later, I might have gotten beaten up."
"Pfft..." Chu Yiran couldn't help but giggle, and with her hands behind her back, she leaned closer to Chen Mo, her bright eyes looking him up and down. "Brother Chen Mo, where did you go during the National Day holiday? I haven't seen you for days. I haven't been able to make breakfast these past two days."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The gentle Chu Yinuo blushed instantly, hurriedly tugging at her sister's sleeve, stealing a glance at Chen Mo, her voice barely audible, "Brother Chen Mo, don't listen to her nonsense..."
Looking at the pair of twins brimming with youthful energy, Chen Mo's heart softened.
"I'm not lying, I know you're good to me." Chen Mo smiled, took out two exquisitely crafted jewelry boxes from his backpack, and handed them to the two of them respectively. "These are gifts I brought back for you from my trip to Kyoto. See if you like them?"
"Wow! It's a red bean silver bracelet from the Palace Museum!" Chu Yiran couldn't wait to open the box, her eyes lighting up instantly. She immediately stretched out her fair wrist, "Brother Chen Mo, quickly put it on for me!"
Chu Yinuo took the box, her fingertips gently caressing the bracelet. Her eyes were full of joy, but she also asked softly with some worry, "Brother Chen Mo, this must be very expensive, right? You just gave us clothes last time..."
"Don't worry, wear them. They're worthless." Chen Mo chuckled and put the bracelets on the two sisters. "Let's go. I'll take you to the reed marsh at the edge of the village for a stroll, and we'll eat Grandma Li's spicy hot pot while we're at it. It's on me."
The three walked side by side on a country road.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the golden reeds, casting a gentle glow over the tranquil village.
Chu Yiran chattered away like a happy lark, sharing the fun stories of her second-year high school tutoring sessions. Chu Yinuo walked quietly beside Chen Mo, feeling the cool silver jewelry on her wrist. Occasionally, she would look up at the boy's angular profile, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
In this extremely quiet and beautiful moment, Chen Mo's phone suddenly vibrated rapidly in his pocket.
Chen Mo stopped and took it out to look. It was Lao Jin, the investment director of Pengcheng Jiuding.
"Yinuo, Yiran, you two go and save a spot at Grandma Li's. I'll take this call and come right away," Chen Mo said with a gentle smile.
After walking to a secluded patch of reeds, Chen Mo pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, Lao Jin's excited roar came through:
"Mr. Chen!! It's gone up! We're rich!!"
"What's the panic? Speak clearly," Chen Mo said, frowning.
"China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) just released an extremely significant positive announcement! Its restructuring has been approved, and it has officially become a leading enterprise in the Belt and Road Initiative's core infrastructure overseas expansion! Research reports from various institutions are already flying everywhere!"
Old Jin was so excited on the other end of the phone that he was almost incoherent. "Mr. Chen, it's amazing! You're truly amazing! Before the holiday, you had our 200 million yuan quietly building positions at the bottom, without even a ripple. Now that this announcement is out, tomorrow's market is definitely going to hit the daily limit up! Millions of lots of buy orders can't stop it! This isn't stock trading, it's practically picking up money!"
As soon as Lao Jin finished speaking, another call came in on Chen Mo's phone screen. It was Lao Li from Shanghai Zexi.
Chen Mo immediately pulled Lao Li into the three-way call, and Lao Li's ecstatic voice came through: "President Chen! The good news is here! Your vision is simply divine! Our risk control department just did a scenario analysis, and conservatively speaking, Huaguo Jiaojian's main upward wave has at least five limit-up days of upside potential! A 200 million yuan initial position, that's a small profit in just five days!"
Faced with the almost frantic praise from these two senior investment managers, Chen Mo's expression remained completely calm, as if all of this had been within his precise calculations all along.
He took a deep breath of the cool autumn air and said, "Only five board expectations? Your vision is still too narrow."
"At least fifteen consecutive daily price limits, just wait to count your money."
