The next morning, it was just getting light outside the window.

When Lin Wan woke up, Chen Mo had already gotten up.

The exclusive negotiation agreement has been signed, and the investment team of Xingchen Technology has arrived. The next due diligence involves the red-chip structure, overseas shareholders, intellectual property rights and core customers. No step can go wrong.

She had to stay on the front lines and keep a close eye on things herself.

The two finished their breakfast quietly.

Stepping out of the hotel, the morning breeze carried a slightly cool, damp feel.

Lin Wan held Chen Mo's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance: "I'll stay here and oversee the due diligence. I'll send you the final draft of the official agreement as soon as it's ready."

Chen Mo took her hand.

Don't overwork yourself.

"Okay."

Lin Wan bit her lower lip and pouted, but her hand lingered, unwilling to let go.

She only took a step back when Wei Shan opened the car door.

"Message me when you arrive at Changhu Lake."

"it is good."

The convoy left the hotel and headed to Sunan Airport.

Lin Wan stood there for a while, then turned around and got back into another car.

As the car door closed, the reluctance on her face gradually faded.

"Notify the investment team that there will be a meeting at 9:30."

"First, compile a list of all of Accelink's financing agreements and intellectual property rights."

The secretary immediately agreed.

After a brief reunion, the two returned to their respective positions.

……

11:40 a.m.

The Gulfstream G650ER landed at Long Lake Airport.

Chen Mo's convoy drove directly to the First People's Hospital of Changhu City.

More than a month has passed since the truck attack.

Zhou Zheng has undergone his second surgery. His chest injury is now basically stable, and his right leg has entered the initial recovery stage.

He is still unable to walk normally, and his daily life revolves around check-ups, dressing changes, and rehabilitation training.

Upon seeing Chen Mo enter the ward, Zhou Zheng instinctively tried to sit up.

"Don't move."

Chen Mo walked a few steps to the bedside and pressed him down.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The recovery is going well."

Zhou Zheng leaned back against the headboard.

"After some time, you can try to get out of bed with the help of a brace."

His complexion was much better than when he had just undergone surgery, but his voice was still somewhat weak.

Chen Mo pulled up a chair and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Focus on recovering. Once you're fully healed, I'll be waiting for you to come back and help me."

Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded emphatically: "Understood, President Chen."

Chen Mo did not stay in the ward for long.

Zhou Zheng's parents have now been properly settled in Changhu by the Xingchen Family Office, with their accommodation and living expenses fully covered, and medical care provided by a dedicated person throughout the process.

After confirming that Zhou Zheng was alright, Chen Mo did not disturb him further and turned to go upstairs to the rehabilitation ward.

..........

Xu Qing is staying in a private ward.

When Chen Mo pushed open the door, there were four people sitting in the room.

Xu Qing sat leaning against the headboard, her right arm still fixed in front of her chest.

After more than a month of recuperation, her complexion has improved significantly, her lung contusion has basically healed, and her three broken ribs are steadily healing. She has already begun rehabilitation exercises for her hands and shoulders.

Beside the hospital bed sat a couple in their fifties, and on the sofa sat a young man in his early twenties.

All three women bear a resemblance to Xu Qing in their features.

The three of them were taken aback when someone pushed the door open.

Wei Shan stood outside the door.

Two security guards in dark suits remained at opposite ends of the corridor.

The young man in front of her was clearly the Mr. Chen her daughter had mentioned.

"President Chen!" Xu Qing's eyes lit up with surprise. "When did you get back?"

"I just arrived at Changhu and came to see you." Chen Mo walked to the bedside.

Xu Qing quickly introduced them to her family: "Dad, Mom, this is President Chen. This is my younger brother, Xu Minghao."

Mr. Xu quickly stood up, appearing somewhat reserved: "Mr. Chen, hello."

Xu's mother also stood up, somewhat awkwardly tugging at the corner of her clothes.

Xu Minghao, who was on the sofa, was a beat behind and quickly got up to call out to President Chen.

To be honest, when the family first learned that their daughter had been in a car accident, they harbored resentment towards Chen Mo.

My daughter quit her job at the airport to become an assistant, why should she suffer such a near-death ordeal for her boss?

When Xu's mother arrived at the hospital and saw her daughter in the ICU, she cried so hard that she fainted several times. At that moment, she didn't care how much money Chen Mo had; she only felt that God was being unfair.

However, what happened next completely changed the Xu family's attitude.

From emergency treatment to rehabilitation, Xu Qing utilized top-tier medical resources in China, with leading experts from Beijing and Shanghai frequently flying in for consultations.

Xingchen Family Office fully covered all medical expenses, caregiver fees, and all expenses incurred by the family in Changhu.

Xingchen Technology even directly donated 5 million yuan as a special condolence payment.

Moreover, Xu's father, who used to work at a factory with extremely poor performance and chronically delayed wages, has now been assigned to Xingchao Culture's Changhu Warehouse Center to be responsible for logistics and scheduling.

Xu's mother used to work odd jobs at a supermarket, but now she works at a Xingchao direct-operated store, doing warehouse inventory and personnel management.

Xu Minghao, the younger brother who just graduated, also received a formal training opportunity in the customer service and operations system of Xingchen Technology.

All three jobs were tailored to my abilities, with salaries far exceeding the local average, and all social insurance and housing fund contributions were made at the maximum level.

Five million yuan in cash, plus three stable and respectable jobs, represents a dramatic change for an ordinary family.

The lingering resentment has long since dissipated, replaced by awe and gratitude.

"Mr. Chen, please have a seat!"

Xu's mother kindly moved the chair closer to the hospital bed, her eyes shining: "Qingqing has been talking about you every day lately, saying that the hospital and specialists are all arranged by you."

"Of course." Chen Mo sat down. "Xu Qing was injured while protecting me. I will take full responsibility for everything that happens to her afterward."

"Mr. Chen, you've taken such good care of me."

Mr. Xu rubbed his rough hands together and said somewhat hesitantly, "The job was settled, and they even gave our family so much money back."

"Actually, when the accident first happened, we were a little confused."

He paused, then spoke the truth: "Later, Qingqing told us the truth, saying that the truck was originally heading towards you. If she hadn't rushed over to protect you... she said it was her own choice and wouldn't let us blame you no matter what."

"Dad! It's all in the past, why bring this up?" Xu Qing frowned slightly and spoke up to stop him.

"It's okay."

Chen Mo waved his hand.

"It's normal that you had some complaints about me when you first heard about her injury."

"If my family member were lying in the hospital, I wouldn't be any calmer than you."

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Xu's mother's gaze softened even more.

She had originally thought that such a top boss must be unapproachable, cold and strict, but when she actually met him, she found that Chen Mo was not only young, but also spoke without any airs.

Thinking about the tone her daughter had used when mentioning Chen Mo recently, Xu's mother couldn't help but have a few probing thoughts.

"How old is Mr. Chen this year?"

"Mom..." Xu Qing frowned, vaguely sensing her mother's thoughts.

"Just started my freshman year," Chen Mo replied casually.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu's mother's eyes, and her smile deepened: "You seem so much more mature than your peers. Mr. Chen, with your busy work schedule, do you have someone suitable to take care of you?"

The probing intent in those words couldn't be clearer.

Xu's father understood his wife's thoughts, coughed, picked up his water glass and drank water as if to cover it up, and Xu Minghao also looked at Chen Mo curiously.

"mom!"

Xu Qing's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the fact that her right arm was still immobilized, she straightened up by supporting herself with her left hand.

"What nonsense are you asking? Mr. Chen has a girlfriend!"

Her voice suddenly turned stern: "I'm Mr. Chen's employee, and handling household affairs is my job. Don't get any ideas, and definitely don't gossip about it outside!"

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by her daughter's scolding, Xu's mother muttered under her breath, "I was just... casually expressing my concern."

"Even casual remarks are not allowed!"

Xu Qing clenched her left hand tightly, her face burning.

She knew all too well the situation surrounding Chen Mo.

Even if she had some thoughts deep down, she would never allow her family to take advantage of her kindness and try to curry favor with her.

Chen Mo opened the door to a new world for her, and she couldn't allow herself to appear vulgar or lacking in manners in front of him.

"Your auntie is just worried about you." Chen Mo didn't seem to mind. "It's alright."

Xu Qing looked at him, her expression still somewhat unnatural.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for."

Chen Mo smiled, his tone relaxed.

"It is only natural for elders to care about the lifelong happiness of younger generations."

"But don't worry, Auntie, Xu Qing is an excellent professional in my eyes. Once she recovers from her injury, there are a lot of important matters waiting for her to take charge of at the company."

Mrs. Xu was a smart woman and understood the tact in Chen Mo's words. She quickly nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen is right. I was just being narrow-minded. It's the right thing for Qingqing to be able to follow you and do great things."

The awkwardness in the ward gradually dissipated.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not let her family stay any longer.

"Mom, I want to eat the wontons from the place outside the hospital."

"Didn't you complain about how bad it tasted a couple of days ago?"

I want to eat this today.

Xu's mother glanced at her daughter, quickly understood, and got up to tug at her husband: "Okay, your dad and I will go buy it."

Just as Xu Minghao was about to stay, Xu Qing glanced at him and said, "You come too."

"Do you need three people to buy one wonton?"

"want."

Xu Minghao stood up helplessly: "Fine, fine, let's all go."

As the three left, the ward door closed gently, and the room returned to silence.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and explained softly, "Mr. Chen, my mom isn't usually like this. Suddenly receiving so much money and being assigned work might have confused her..."

"Do you think I'm the God of Wealth?" Chen Mo joked.

Xu Qing couldn't help but smile.

"almost."

She lowered her head.

"Actually, I know that those jobs were all arranged by you on purpose."

"My parents are not young, and my younger brother just graduated."

"If you only give them money, they may soon lose track of what they are supposed to do every day."

"Now that all three of us have jobs, we feel more secure about our lives."

"thank you."

"They all joined the company according to the proper procedures." Chen Mo's expression became more composed. "Whether they can stay long-term depends on their own abilities."

"I understand." Xu Qing nodded earnestly. "That's for the best."

Chen Mo looked at her right arm, which was still immobilized.

"The rehabilitation team will arrive at Changhu next week."

"Xingchen Medical has contacted a German orthopedic rehabilitation team, as well as two American upper limb function and neurological rehabilitation experts."

"They will assess your condition together with doctors in China."

"After your right arm is unsupported, the rehabilitation training will be very tough, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Xu Qing stared at him blankly.

"Did a foreign team come here specifically for this?"

"Um."

"But the doctor said I'm recovering very well now."

"A good recovery doesn't mean we can treat you carelessly." Chen Mo said seriously, "You'll still be helping me with household affairs in the future, so I want you to fully recover without any aftereffects."

Xu Qing's eyes gradually reddened.

Five million yuan in cash.

Job security for the whole family.

A top-notch multinational team of experts.

Chen Mo had considered everything he could think of for her and her family.

"Mr. Chen."

She held back for a few seconds, but tears still streamed down her face.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

"No one should risk their life to protect another person." Chen Mo pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. "Don't think about anything else right now, just focus on getting better."

Xu Qing took the tissue but did not wipe away her tears immediately.

"After I'm discharged from the hospital, can I stay by your side?"

"When did I ever say I didn't want you?"

Chen Mo countered with a question.

Xu Qing looked at him, and a smile finally appeared in her tears.

"Then I will definitely recover well."

Just then.

Chen Mo's phone, which was lying to the side, suddenly rang.

A name is displayed on the screen.

Zhao Qiang.

Chen Mo picked up his phone and answered the call.

"Mr. Chen, something has happened to Taichu."
