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

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

No formal lockdown decision has been made in the three locations yet.

The Vietnamese side confirmed that they would hear an explanation from the Douyin team the following day.

The Thai regulatory interface is willing to accept a third-party data audit report first.

Public opinion in Indonesia remains the most intense, with several local celebrities and religious figures joining the boycott.

Chen Liping stood up.

"Zhang Nan and I are going back to Changhu tonight."

"The overseas command center, server logs, and public relations team are all there."

Lin Wan also put away her computer.

"The airport also has late-night business class flights."

"No need to go back."

Chen Mo stopped the three of them.

"If we go to the airport now, we'll land close to midnight."

"ByteDance has full access to video conferencing, data, and algorithms."

"Integrate the Changhu team into the same command system. All those in charge will remain in Kyoto tonight."

Zhang Nan said, "Many overseas business permissions have not yet been transferred."

"Remote authorization".

"If there's something that absolutely needs to be dealt with on-site, I'll use my plane tomorrow morning."

Chen Mo looked at Chen Liping.

"What you need most right now is to maintain your judgment, not to keep switching between two cities."

Chen Liping thought for a few seconds and nodded.

"it is good."

ByteDance temporarily opened an entire floor of its office space.

Douyin Overseas, Xingchen Legal Affairs, and ByteDance's technical team moved in overnight.

Lin Wan originally had her secretary book a hotel.

Chen Mo glanced at the time.

"Come back to Shengyin Temple with me."

Lin Wan's eyes flickered slightly.

Is it convenient?

"There are guest rooms at home."

"Chen Liping and Zhang Nan are staying at a hotel near the school. They'll come together tomorrow morning."

Lin Wan did not continue to be polite.

"I'll follow Mr. Chen's instructions."

……

At the same time.

Building No. 1 in Zhongguancun Science City.

Chen Jing has just finished reviewing a set of thermal cycling data.

"Xiao Mo is staying at Sheng Yin Hospital tonight."

She took off her goggles and looked at Wen Zhixia, who was still organizing supplier documents.

"Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go have dinner with him."

Wen Zhixia paused for a moment.

"Forget it, I'm not going."

Why?

"That girl frequents Shengyin Hospital."

"We'll have to see each other sooner or later, so let's just talk it out tonight."

Wen Zhixia remained silent for a moment, then gently shook her head.

Chen Jing frowned.

"You don't want to see her?"

"I'm not ready yet."

Wen Zhixia put the last document into the file folder.

"Let him make the arrangements."

Chen Jing looked at her for a few seconds and then didn't try to persuade her anymore.

"OK."

"Then let's go back to Wanliu, and I'll cook you noodles."

"Can you?"

"Can't I learn something just because I don't know how?"

The two turned off the office lights and left the science city together.

……

9:20 PM, Shengyinyuan Building 3.

The ancient trees outside the courtyard cast shadows in the cold wind.

Lin Wan took off her suit jacket, rolled up her shirt sleeves, and sat down at the coffee table in the living room to review the first batch of opinions sent back by lawyers from the three locations.

Chen Mo has just finished a phone call with his Indonesian team.

Two light meals that hadn't been touched were on the table.

The meeting, which lasted for several hours, left both of them with little appetite.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps and the soft click of the access control scanner came from outside the courtyard.

After the newly added security personnel confirmed the visitor's identity, they did not stop him.

A moment later, the door was opened from the outside.

Su Qingyan walked into the entryway carrying her handbag.

She had just finished the first phase of her industry research rotation at Moyan Financial Holdings today. She left Financial Street around 8 p.m. because she had been working overtime to check a risk control sample draft for a high-tech enterprise.

During this period of time, as long as Chen Mo was not around, Su Qingyan would still come over every few days.

Ventilate the room.

Check the food in the refrigerator.

Sometimes I would sit in the study and read for hours.

In her heart, Building 3 of Shengyinyuan was no longer just a residence allocated to Chen Mo by the school.

This place preserves the memories of the first time the two cooked together, their walks by the lake, and countless quiet moments spent together.

In a sense, this was a little world that she and Chen Mo shared.

Pushing open the door, she saw the living room was brightly lit. She assumed it was the housekeeping cleaning staff doing their routine, but to her surprise, she bumped into Chen Mo standing in the center of the living room.

Su Qingyan's peach blossom eyes instantly lit up with surprise: "When did you get back?"

"I just arrived this afternoon."

Chen Mo stepped forward and took the bag from her hand.

"Why are you so late?"

"A report was temporarily revised."

Su Qingyan was about to continue speaking when her gaze fell on the living room.

Lin Wan also looked up from the document.

The two had met before and were aware of each other's presence in Chen Mo's life.

The previous meeting was brief, and there were many people around; they didn't even have much time to talk to each other alone.

The sudden encounter in their private dwelling created an atmosphere of tension.

"President Lin is here too."

Su Qingyan's joy subsided slightly, and she spoke politely.

"I never expected to see you here."

"I came to Kyoto temporarily to handle some work."

Lin Wan stood up gracefully and smiled, "Qingyan, it's been a long time."

Although the two polite greetings were exchanged, the temperature in the living room seemed to drop by half a degree out of nowhere.

Su Qingyan's gaze swept over Lin Wan's rolled-up sleeves, then looked at the documents and light meals on the table.

She didn't ask why the two of them came back together.

After changing into slippers, I put my handbag directly into the second drawer on the right side of the entryway.

Her place has always been reserved there.

Then, she skillfully found the remote control under the TV cabinet, turned up the room temperature by two degrees, and went to the water dispenser to change the water that had cooled down.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Su Qingyan noticed that the lunchbox had hardly been touched.

"With meetings coming one after another, I've lost my appetite," Chen Mo said truthfully.

"I have fresh tomatoes and free-range eggs in the fridge. I'll cook you two bowls of hot noodle soup," Su Qingyan said gently, then naturally looked at Lin Wan, "Would Ms. Lin like a bowl?"

"Call me Sister Wan."

Lin Wan sensed the polite distance in her tone.

"Thank you for your help, I'll take less."

"it is good."

Su Qingyan walked into the kitchen.

She was very skilled at it, washing the pot, boiling water, chopping tomatoes, and beating eggs, each movement was very natural.

Chen Mo sat at the dining table, watching the busy figures in the kitchen, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

When Su Qingyan turned around and saw his expression, the slight displeasure in her heart faded away.

She took off the hair tie from her wrist and tied her long hair up, then, as if suddenly finding her work badge in the way, she took it off her neck and casually placed it on the dining table.

The transparent card sleeve is facing upwards.

[Moyan Financial Holdings]

The four most eye-catching characters were directly facing Lin Wan.

Lin Wan's gaze lingered on the employee badge for two seconds.

She was so intelligent that she understood the origin of the name at a glance.

Stars, Primordial Beginning, Pure Harmony, Prosperous Chen.

Chen Mo owns many businesses, but he rarely puts a woman's name so directly in the signboard of a company.

Lin Wan felt an uncontrollable pang of sadness welling up in her heart.

She raised her almond-shaped eyes and gave Chen Mo a meaningful glance.

Chen Mo, unusually, felt a little guilty. He picked up the water glass beside him, took a sip, and, like his name, chose to remain silent.

He had no experience with building a harem in his previous life, so he really didn't know how to handle it and could only appease them one by one afterward.

Standing in front of the stove, Su Qingyan took in the whole scene, and a smile quietly crept onto her lips.

However, she was not prepared to continue provoking Lin Wan.

She knew that Lin Wan's leadership of Xingchen Technology Group, a company worth hundreds of billions, was a level that she herself could not yet reach.

Fifteen minutes later, two steaming bowls of tomato soup with egg noodles were served on the table.

Chen Mo's bowl had a larger portion, with an extra fried egg.

Lin Wan lowered her head, took a bite, and nodded in approval: "It tastes very good."

"It's much better than the first time I cooked for him."

Su Qingyan was slightly taken aback: "He's not picky about food. As long as it's not too bad, he'll say it's good."

"Indeed." Lin Wan smiled gently. "I learned this lesson much earlier than you did."

Chen Mo, who was sitting in the middle, coughed lightly: "Gentlemen, I'll remain seated here."

"Know."

Two clear and melodious voices rang out in unison.

The two answered almost simultaneously.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other.

The atmosphere in the living room finally eased a bit.

After finishing the noodles, it was almost 10:30.

Lin Wan was about to clear away the tableware when Su Qingyan took it from her first.

"You've been on a plane all day and been in meetings for so long, go and rest."

"The second room on the right on the second floor is a guest room, and the bedding was just changed last week."

"The toiletries are on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. I'll go get them for you."

She managed everything perfectly, displaying the demeanor of a well-behaved mistress of the house.

Lin Wan saw through her lingering thoughts but didn't point them out.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

The two entered the guest room on the second floor, one after the other.

The interior is bright and clean.

Su Qingyan deftly laid out the corner of the bed, neatly arranged the pure cotton bathrobe and towel, and filled the ultrasonic humidifier by the bedside with purified water.

Lin Wan stood at the door for a while.

"Was that employee ID card shown to me on purpose?"

Su Qingyan's hand suddenly froze.

She hadn't expected Lin Wan to be so direct and unreserved.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Qingyan took a deep breath, turned her face, her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were frank: "Yes."

"I know this is not very mature."

Lin Wan looked into her clear yet stubborn peach blossom eyes and suddenly smiled.

"It's nothing."

"If it were me, and I suddenly saw another woman in my familiar home, I might not be as generous as you."

Su Qingyan did not expect her to answer like that.

"Sister Wan isn't angry?"

"I'm a little jealous."

Lin Wan said frankly.

"However, I don't need to argue with you about anything. Chen Mo entrusting Star Technology to me is already the greatest trust he can place in me."

"And you don't need to prove to me whether you have a place in Chen Mo's heart."

"What he gave you, I can't take away."

Similarly, you can't take away the things I went through with him.

The room fell silent.

Su Qingyan looked intently at the woman in front of her, then said softly, "I understand."

She drew the curtains for Lin Wan and dimmed the bedside lamp.

"Goodnight, Sister Wan."

"Good night."

Su Qingyan walked out of the guest room.

Chen Mo remained seated in the first-floor living room, checking the latest messages from the overseas team.

He looked up when he heard footsteps.

"Is the room ready?"

"alright."

Su Qingyan walked up to him, took the employee badge from the table, and put it back into her handbag.

"I'll be staying here tonight too."

Chen Mo was clearly taken aback.

Su Qingyan held the keys to three buildings, yet she always kept to herself.

Even when they were at their closest, she would rush back to the dormitory before lights out.

"What about the dorms?"

"I've already messaged Si Nan."

Su Qingyan met his gaze.

There are no classes tomorrow morning.

Chen Mo looked at her for a few seconds, then glanced up at the direction of the guest rooms on the second floor.

He seemed to understand something.

Ultimately, however, the truth was not revealed.

"it is good."

Su Qingyan turned and walked towards the stairs.

As we passed the second guest room on the right side of the second floor, a sliver of warm light still shone through the crack in the door.

She paused slightly, but ultimately said nothing and continued walking into another guest room at the end of the corridor.

The door closed.

Su Qingyan took out the key to Shengyin Courtyard from her handbag, and then took out the employee ID card that she had deliberately placed in front of Lin Wan earlier, and put them on the bedside table.

She stared at it for a long time, then reached out and took the key into her palm.

She gradually warmed the cold metal.

Lin Wan's appearance forced her to confront a fact.

How many parts did Chen Mo's heart actually divide into?

But she couldn't bear to give it up.

At least for tonight, she still wants to stay here.
