Chen Mo took the test report and glanced at it.

The first batch of prototypes produced were fluorine-containing intermediates that Deertech urgently needed.

The purity, impurity content, and stability have met the first-stage acceptance standards and can be sent to Deer Technology for small-batch application testing.

"Progress is good."

Chen Mo handed the report back to Chu Zhenhua: "Before the official production begins, we need to conduct another cross-inspection of safety and environmental protection."

"Don't worry about that." Chu Zhenhua nodded vigorously. "The management team sent by De'er has re-inspected every corner of the factory area. Now, any hot work, maintenance, or material handling requires at least two signatures."

"I won't make the same mistake twice."

At this point, he added, as was his habit.

"Mr. Chen, if it weren't for you this time..."

"Grandpa Chu."

Chen Mo interrupted.

Chu Zhenhua was taken aback.

"Don't call me General Manager Chen anymore."

Chen Mo said.

"Chujiang New Materials is a normal business restructuring. De'er holds 80% and you hold 20%. For work-related matters, the management team reports according to the established procedures."

"If we meet in private, just call me Chen Mo."

Chu Zhenhua glanced at him, then looked at his two granddaughters beside him, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Calling you by your name sounds too formal." The old man thought for a moment, then said, "You've taken care of Yinuo and Yiran since they were little, and this time you saved our whole family."

"If you don't mind that this old man is taking advantage of me, you can call me Grandpa like they do from now on."

Chu Yiran's eyes lit up instantly.

She was about to speak in agreement when her sister gently touched her arm.

Chu Yinuo remained standing in the same spot, but the corners of her lips had already subtly curved upwards.

The two sisters both knew what this title meant.

Seeing the two sisters' reactions, Chen Mo didn't deliberately embarrass the old man.

Grandpa.

"Why."

Chu Zhenhua answered with exceptionally loud voice, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

Chu Yiran could no longer hold back and ran to Chen Mo's side, hugging his arm.

……

The management team led a few people into the production area.

The rebuilt workshop was equipped with brand-new pipelines and automatic monitoring equipment.

Chen Mo did not dwell on the technical details for too long.

Once the product enters the next round of verification, it will naturally be continued by a professional team.

As soon as she came off the production line, Chu Yiran couldn't wait to take out her phone.

"Brother Chen Mo, look!"

She opened her Douyin account homepage and held the screen up to Chen Mo.

The number of fans has exceeded five million.

The twins' latest short drama about campus life has garnered nearly three million likes, with the comments section overwhelmingly praising their fresh and natural acting skills.

"It's broken five million?" Chen Mo was indeed somewhat surprised.

"To be precise, it's five million eight hundred thousand!"

Chu Yiran raised her fair chin, beaming: "According to the rules you and Sister Zhang Nan set, we don't accept orders from unknown brands, but just from the platform's creator traffic revenue sharing and the monthly limit on live streaming rewards, the revenue sharing alone is over 100,000 yuan! My sister and I are now self-sufficient little rich women."

Chu Yinuo corrected her from the side:

"I can only do live streams a maximum of twice a month, and each session cannot exceed one hour. The money is also jointly managed by my mother and the platform. If my grades drop, I will stop updating."

That doesn't change the fact that we're rich.

Chu remained confident and self-assured.

"Some students in my class have even asked me for money."

"Did you borrow it?"

Chen Mo looked at her.

"Of course not!" Chu Yiran immediately shook her head. "My sister rejected her on the spot."

Chu Yinuo said softly, "It's just vanity that drives classmates. Once they start, it's easy to cause unnecessary trouble at school."

"Yinuo handled it well." Chen Mo nodded approvingly: "Internet traffic is a double-edged sword. It's good to have benefits, but remember not to get lost in the pursuit of fame and fortune. At this stage, your studies should still be your top priority."

"Okay... I told Zhang Nan exactly the same thing." Chu Yiran stuck out her tongue, then a mysterious glint flashed in her eyes. "But, there's a big expense, so we've already gone out!"

She turned to look at her sister.

Chu Yinuo finally handed over the gift box she had been holding in her arms.

"This is something that Yiran and I prepared for you together."

"This is for you."

A dark blue gift box with only a subtle gold cross pattern in the center.

Chen Mo opened the box.

Nestled quietly within a velvet lining is a classic dress watch from the Patek Philippe Calatrava collection.

The watch features an 18K white gold round case, a minimalist ivory white dial with three hands, and a hand-stitched dark black matte alligator leather strap.

Without any superfluous or complicated functions, it perfectly embodies the elegance and timeless quality of a top-tier timepiece, perfectly matching Chen Mo's composed aura when dressed formally.

"Did you buy it?"

"My sister and I will each pay half," Chu Yiran said eagerly. "Mom accompanied us to the provincial capital to pick it out at the boutique. It cost over 300,000 yuan! You gave each of us a watch before, and now that we can earn money, of course we should give you one."

Chen Mo looked at Chu Yinuo and joked, "Over 300,000 yuan, don't you two little money-grubbers feel the pinch when you swipe your cards?"

"It breaks my heart."

Chu Yinuo answered frankly, her ears turning slightly red: "When I entered the password in front of the POS machine, I was still so nervous that I checked the amount three times."

"You confirmed it multiple times."

Chu Yiran immediately exposed her sister's lie.

Chu Yinuo's cheeks flushed slightly, but she ignored her.

Chen Mo smiled and took off his watch, revealing the platinum Calatrava.

Chu Yinuo stepped forward and helped him fasten the watch strap.

Her movements were slow, her fingertips occasionally brushing against Chen Mo's wrist before quickly moving away.

After confirming that the clasp was secure, she took a half step back and examined it carefully.

"Very good." Chu Yinuo took half a step back, her eyes brightening slightly.

"I knew a black belt would give you the most presence!" Chu Yiran said proudly.

Chen Mo looked at the new watch on his wrist, then reached out and ruffled the hair of his two sisters: "You picked a great one, I really like it."

The twins looked at each other and smiled, their joy almost overflowing.

They knew, of course, that more than 300,000 yuan meant almost nothing to Chen Mo.

But he changed into it on the spot, which was the best response to this gift.

……

Midday in a private courtyard in Anhe County.

A refined and elegant celebratory family banquet was then served.

Chu Weiguo and He Caili drove back from Changhu. There were no outsiders at the table, only three generations of Chu's close relatives and Chen Mo sitting together.

With the first production line successfully completed its trial run, the shadow that had been weighing on the Chu family's hearts for months finally began to dissipate considerably.

After lunch, the factory managers left first.

Chen Mo did not set off immediately.

"Grandpa, Uncle Chu, Aunt He."

He looked at the three elders of the Chu family.

"What are your plans for further education, Yinuo and Yiran?"

The atmosphere at the dinner table quieted down.

Chu Weiguo sighed softly.

"This is also what's been troubling us the most lately."

"Both children have a good foundation, but after their short videos went viral this semester, they are treated like celebrities wherever they go in the local high school. Even with a team controlling the frequency of filming, their attention is inevitably severely diverted."

He Caili continued, "Yinuo is more self-aware. She still easily loses track of time once she gets her hands on her phone."

"mom."

Chu Yiran let out a dissatisfied shout.

Did I say something wrong?

Chu Yiran opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't find a reason to refute it.

He Caili continued, "We don't expect them to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but we hope they can at least attend a good university."

"The college entrance examination in mainland China is a highly competitive event, and even a slight mishap could have dire consequences." Chen Mo nodded. "I have another plan."

"Let them go to Hong Kong to study and switch to the DSE curriculum."

"I will use my DSE results to apply to universities in Hong Kong, or to participate in the admission process for mainland universities that are open to Hong Kong students without entrance examinations."

The people around the table were somewhat surprised.

Chu Weiguo asked, "Are they able to participate?"

"Identity, student status, and document issues need to be resolved in advance."

Chen Mo said.

"You need to legally obtain Hong Kong residency, complete the necessary travel documents to and from the mainland, and take the DSE exam that year."

"I can have the Hong Kong team evaluate Uncle Chu's resume, and Xingchen Medical will provide a real position to be responsible for coordinating medical resources between Hong Kong and the mainland."

"Yinuohe obtained non-permanent resident status as a minor dependent and then entered a Hong Kong school to complete the DSE course."

"Aunt He can come along too."

Chu Weiguo remained silent for a while.

This means that the lives of the whole family will change.

However, after the factory was restructured, he and He Caili were already preparing to find new jobs.

If they could solve their daughter's school admission problem and have a career that truly suits them, it would be an opportunity they never dared to dream of before.

"Admission without examination, does that mean we don't have to take the college entrance examination?" Chu Zhenhua asked.

"You don't need to take the National College Entrance Examination."

Chen Mo explained.

"Tsinghua and Peking University are equally competitive; it doesn't mean that you can easily get in just because you have permanent residency. However, DSE allows you to apply to both Hong Kong and mainland universities simultaneously, giving you many more options."

He Caili turned to her two daughters: "What are you two really thinking?"

Chu Yiran blinked, almost blurting out, "Will Brother Chen Mo go to Hong Kong often in the future?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Every month, there are cross-border business deals that need to be completed in Central."

Chu Yinuo frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "After going to Hong Kong, can the account still be updated?"

"Can."

Chen Mo said.

"Content related to Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia can also become your new direction in the future. But the principle of prioritizing learning remains unchanged."

Chu Yinuo thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded gently.

"I'm willing to give it a try."

Chu Zhenhua picked up his teacup, his eyes already feeling hot.

Just a few months ago, he was still lying in the hospital, worried that the factory's closure would ruin his two granddaughters' lives.

Now that the factory has reopened, my daughter and son-in-law have new options, and their two children have a wider path to university.

"Chen Mo..." The old man's throat bobbed slightly, "The Chu family owes you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid in this lifetime."

"Grandpa, don't be so polite with me."

Chen Mo smiled.

He then took out his phone and dialed Lu Jingyi's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"I'd like to trouble Mr. Lu to arrange something."

Chen Mo briefly explained the twins' situation.

Lu Jingyi confirmed Chu Weiguo's educational background, career path, and the ages of the two sisters.

"I instructed the chief counsel and the enrichment education advisory team of Creation Hong Kong to immediately create a file."

"it is good."

Chen Mo looked at the two sisters sitting opposite him.

"Give me a complete plan as soon as possible."

"Three days."

Lu Jingyi answered as decisively as ever.

Putting away her phone, Chu Yiran was already enthusiastically searching for information on school uniforms and clubs at major Hong Kong schools on her phone, while Chu Yinuo was focused on writing down the core subjects of the DSE exam in her notebook.

Sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows of the private room, quietly illuminating the solid wood table.

The two sisters were still wearing the watches that Chen Mo had given them.

Chen Mo looked down at the new watch he had just put on.

The hands ticked silently, producing a faint yet precise clicking sound.

Quietly witnessing these two bright young girls embark on the true beginning of another chapter in their lives.
