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

December 31st.

3:20 PM.

The Gulfstream G650ER landed smoothly at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Lu Jingyi remained in Hong Kong to continue processing the first batch of asset allocation for Creation No. 2.

Chen Mo returned to Kyoto with only Wei Shan and his entourage.

After leaving the airport, the convoy went directly to Wanliu Academy.

Chen Jing and Wen Zhixia were both there.

The school courses have ended these past few days, and the two of them still stay in the Qingjia Laboratory during the day and only return to Wanliu to rest at night.

Hearing that Chen Mo was coming back today, Chen Jing left the lab early, which was quite unusual for her.

When Chen Mo pushed open the door, a warm breeze blew in from the entrance hall. The coffee table in the spacious living room was already piled high with all kinds of imported cherries, nuts and snacks, and the TV was playing red carpet previews of the New Year's Eve galas from various satellite TV stations on a loop.

The aroma of hot pot broth wafted from the kitchen.

"Has Boss Chen finally decided to come back?"

Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bag of potato chips in her hands.

"I thought you were planning to spend the Chinese New Year in the US before coming back."

"Even if the west wind is sweet, it cannot compare to even half of my homeland."

Chen Mo handed his coat to his entourage.

Chen Jing rolled her eyes.

Wen Zhixia came out of the kitchen.

A light apricot-colored fitted loungewear dress outlines her soft and charming figure, and her dark hair is loosely tied back, revealing her slender and fair neck.

Upon seeing that familiar figure he had longed for, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses instantly lit up, and he quickened his pace involuntarily.

Chen Mo stood in the entryway, a smile on his lips, and naturally opened his arms to her.

Wen Zhixia glanced at Chen Jing on the sofa, her cheeks slightly flushed, but her steps did not falter in the slightest.

With a soft, sweet fragrance, she rushed straight into Chen Mo's arms, gently wrapping her arms around his waist.

Chen Jing finally couldn't help but interrupt the two of them: "Let's get ready to eat, I've been starving all afternoon."

The two then reluctantly parted ways.

Wen Zhixia smiled and pulled Chen Mo to the dining table.

The three people sat down around the steaming copper pot.

There were no expensive ingredients on the table, only beef and mutton, vegetables, tofu, and a few plates of handmade meatballs.

The lights of the capital city outside Wanliu's window are gradually coming on.

Inside, all that could be heard was the bubbling sound of the hot pot boiling, and Chen Jing's occasional complaints about her younger brother taking away the beef.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Mo inquired about the Wen family's recent situation.

Wen Zhixia put the vegetables dipped in sesame sauce into a bowl.

"The outstanding project payments, interest, and penalties owed by Hualu have all been received."

"Uncle Lu later went to my home in person and apologized to my parents."

"My dad didn't pursue the matter any further."

Chen Mo asked, "Where is Lu You?"

"I have already left Kyoto."

Wen Zhixia answered calmly.

"I heard that after he went to Guangdong Province, Uncle Lu forbade him from returning to Beijing and also revoked all his positions in Hualu."

He hasn't contacted me since.

"What about Hualu's company relocation?"

"The relocation and project handover plan has been submitted to Guoxin."

"It will still take some time before it is officially completed."

This is consistent with the three-month deadline Chen Mo initially gave.

Lu Cheng'an was very sensible and did not try to delay in the slightest.

Wen Zhixia continued, "My dad used the collected funds to pay employee wages and supplier payment terms."

"Zhixing Digital Technology also signed two new clients, both of which are relatively small."

"Huaneng Intelligent Control only gave us a normal technical review opportunity. Whether we can get the project in the end depends on our own products."

"He's been spending every day at the company overseeing the projects lately."

Chen Mo nodded.

"That's for the best."

Wen Zhixia looked at Chen Mo and said softly, "My dad asked me to thank you on his behalf, and also asked me to tell you that he will not turn Zhixing Digital Technology into a company that gets projects based on connections."

"Once the company truly achieves results, he will personally invite you to dinner."

"Then I'll wait."

Chen Mo picked up a slice of freshly cooked mutton for her.

Wen Zhixia smiled slightly, the shadow that had been hanging over the Wen family for months finally dissipating completely.

Chen Jing tapped her chopsticks and cleared her throat: "Mr. Chen, shouldn't you take a look at the chip project you've invested billions of yuan in?"

Chen Mo looked at his sister.

"Academician Gu sends me a briefing every day, so I have a general idea of ​​the progress."

"Can the briefing be as detailed as my explanation?"

Chen Jing put down her chopsticks, her smugness finally showing.

"Qingjia's first-generation heterogeneous advanced packaging verification chip has officially secured its first tape-out window!"

"The final layout and process documents were finalized on January 25th and delivered to the contract manufacturer at the end of January."

"If there are no major problems, we should be able to get the first batch of wafers after the Spring Festival."

"If the packaging goes smoothly, we should be able to see complete engineering samples by the end of February."

Although Chen Mo already knew the approximate time, hearing the exact date still stirred a feeling in his heart.

From the theoretical framework deduced on the whiteboard in the study to the silicon-based integrated circuits that are about to be powered on, Ching Chia Semiconductor is finally about to usher in a breakthrough.

"How is the integration of the key equipment transferred from Europe going?"

"ASMILE's specialized optical alignment equipment and Pioneer's photoresist coating system have completed on-site secondary calibration."

Chen Jing exclaimed with delight: "All the high-stress test wafers sent from France passed the thermal cycling fatigue test. The micron-level warpage compensation algorithm I previously developed at the edge of the silicon wafers converged completely under a large sample test of thousands of wafers!"

"Academician Gu asked me to continue to be responsible for this part of the invalid data."

She paused deliberately at this point.

"So, once the first batch of sample prints comes out, my name will be on the core report."

Chen Mo chuckled and solemnly picked up the plum juice in front of him: "Impressive. A toast in advance to the future Chief Scientist Chen."

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Chen Jing said with a hint of disdain, but her eyes couldn't hide her pride as she clinked glasses with him.

Wen Zhixia also raised her glass.

"And me too."

"I coordinated the arrival time of all equipment, materials, and external teams during this period."

"Of course, Manager Wen is indispensable."

The three cups gently tapped together.

As night deepened, the quartz clock on the wall quietly pointed to 11:59.

On the television screen, the countdown to the New Year's Eve gala began with a resounding ring.

Ten, nine, eight...

Chen Jing dashed to the floor-to-ceiling window and raised her phone to capture the New Year landscape lights that lit up one after another on the distant horizon.

Wen Zhixia quietly shifted her body, her hand deftly slipping under the table into Chen Mo's broad, warm palm, their fingers intertwined.

As the numbers finally reached zero, faint cheers and car horns could be heard throughout the city.

Happy New Year, Chen Mo.

Wen Zhixia turned her face, her eyes clear as water in the reflection of the radiant sunlight streaming through the window.

"Happy New Year."

Chen Mo lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

Chen Jing, who had just finished shooting night scenes, suddenly turned around and bumped right into them: "Hey, hey, hey! Am I not here? No PDA allowed!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "You can close your eyes if you don't want to watch."

"This is my home, why should I close my eyes?!"

Chen Jing strode over with her hands on her hips, and without saying a word, squeezed between the two of them, taking one arm in each of theirs.

"In this last group photo of the year, nobody can leave me out!"

Three people are leaning together in front of the phone camera.

Click.

The light flashed, and the prologue to 2016 was thus left in the living room of Wanliu Academy.
