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

Chen Mo suppressed his inner turmoil and slowly loosened his grip on Lin Wan's waist.

He sat back down behind his desk, his gaze fixed on the recruitment map that covered universities across the country.

Chen Mo said, "I didn't originally plan to do this, but I feel like my identity is about to become too obvious."

Lin Wan straightened the hem of her clothes that he had messed up, leaned against the table, and looked at him.

"StarCraft is no longer the small company with just a few offices it used to be. It now has over three thousand positions, covering areas such as the internet, mining, chemicals, artificial intelligence, commercial spaceflight, and industrial investment."

"After Jiangcheng was merged into Changhu City, Changhu has allocated a core plot of land to Xingchen Technology to build its headquarters building."

"Now, the name Xingchen Technology is almost a household name throughout the entire western province."

"No matter how tacitly the people of Jiangcheng spontaneously cover for the Chen family, in this era of the explosion of mobile internet and social media, fragmented information from the streets and alleys will sooner or later be pieced together online."

Chen Mo didn't speak, but Lin Wan was right.

He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Kyoto under the night sky is ablaze with lights, and traffic stretches endlessly along the East Fourth Ring Road.

For the past two years, he has always been accustomed to standing behind the company and capital.

Lin Wan stood in front of the Star Platform.

Lu Jingyi represented Chuangsheng in the international capital market.

Zhao Qiang is in charge of Taichu.

Gu Shaoting and Wu Huaqiang stood in front of Qingjia.

This arrangement allowed him to avoid a lot of meaningless attention and bought him the most valuable time for industrial development.

However, as the territory continues to expand, the cost of complete concealment also becomes increasingly greater.

After Douyin completed a $40 billion financing round, the equity of Xingchen Technology has become a mystery that has been repeatedly pursued by the global capital circle.

Genesis 2 raised $20 billion.

Project Dawn has been placed at a higher level of confidentiality.

Blue Arrow has begun construction of a test stand for its liquid oxygen methane engine.

Xingxin entered Russia, while Xingchenjiaban set up an office in Singapore.

These trajectories are scattered across different countries, institutions, and databases.

Ordinary people cannot connect them.

Professional intelligence agencies, however, will relentlessly trace every unusual fund, flight path, and personnel change inward.

The deeper he hides, the more the other party wants to know what's behind the curtain.

Instead of letting those people divert their attention to Qingjia, Blue Arrow, and overseas projects, it's better to proactively give them a sufficiently dazzling target.

Founder of Star Technology.

Tsinghua University student.

A young entrepreneur who has risen rapidly through investment, the internet, and industry judgment.

Such an identity is quite astonishing.

This is enough to attract the attention of the media, the public, and even most investigative agencies.

As long as everyone is calculating how many Douyin shares he holds and how much wealth he possesses, the other arrangements hidden behind the star halo will gain a new buffer.

Reveal one layer of identity.

On the contrary, it can protect even deeper secrets.

Of course, this means that Chen Mo will find it difficult to continue being an unknown Tsinghua student.

His family, classmates, relationships, and every public appearance he makes are all subject to public scrutiny.

Wealth brings envy, skepticism, and malice.

The hidden injury from the car accident seemed to be throbbing faintly between his eyebrows.

Chen Mo raised his hand and pressed his fingertips very lightly against his temple.

Lin Wan quietly walked to her side, her gaze concerned: "What are you thinking about?"

"I've been thinking that after hiding behind you guys and enjoying the peace and quiet for so long, it's time to come out and share some of the pressure with President Lin."

Lin Wan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: "Are you really ready?"

"Part of it will be made public."

Chen Mo turned around.

"Founder of Star Technology, that's enough."

Lin Wan was shocked.

She knew the sensation those words would cause.

Once the news is officially confirmed by Xingchen, Douyin, Xingxin, Deer, Feiyu, and the entire industrial landscape of Jiangcheng will be re-examined.

Chen Mo will also be entering the public eye for the first time.

"In what way?"

Chen Mo looked at the recruitment plan on the table.

"Let's do this job."

The voice just fell.

The phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

The screen displayed Lu Zhilan's name.

Chen Mo and Lin Wan exchanged a glance before answering the phone.

"President Lu."

"In Kyoto?"

"right."

"Perfect timing, there are two things I need your opinion on."

Lu Zhilan didn't exchange many pleasantries.

"The first one is related to the Élysée Palace and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France."

Chen Mo's expression shifted slightly.

Nearly half a year has passed since that bloody night in Paris.

After the meeting with the French president, the French government proposed awarding him honors.

However, the attack investigation was not yet over at the time, and Chen Mo did not want more details of the operation to be made public, so both sides temporarily put aside the follow-up arrangements.

"The full-process judicial investigation by the French Ministry of the Interior and Foreign Affairs has been officially concluded."

Lu Zhilan said.

"They are prepared to award you the Silver Class of the Order of Merit for Diplomatic Affairs in recognition of your and your team's bravery and rescue efforts during the Paris attacks."

"The awarding ceremony is tentatively scheduled for May 26th and will be held at the French Embassy in China."

"The French ambassador, several family members of the rescued, and representatives of the French government will be present."

"They respect your request and will not disclose the security deployment and specific rescue procedures."

"But the decision to award the medal needs to be recorded in the official French records."

"Your name can no longer be completely hidden."

Chen Mo remained calm.

The fact that the French managed to suppress the process for six months already demonstrates the highest level of political respect they could give.

What are the opinions within China?

"In principle, I support your acceptance."

Lu Zhilan answered.

"This honor belongs to you, and it is also beneficial for international exchanges."

"The embassy is willing to confirm the release date with us in advance."

"The reports will only mention that you assisted in evacuating civilians and coordinating rescue efforts; no other sensitive content will appear."

"And the second thing?"

There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end of the receiver, followed by the faint rustling sound of confidential documents being turned over.

"Do you remember the arrangements I mentioned to you at the airport?"

Chen Mo certainly remembered.

After the car accident, he took the Gulfstream back to Kyoto.

Lu Zhilan personally picked him up at the airport and told him that someone was considering arranging a public identity for him that matched the responsibilities he would assume.

"The China Young Entrepreneurs Association has just completed a personnel reshuffle."

"Following recommendation and voting, you will be appointed as the 11th Vice President of the Association."

"The official documents are expected to be delivered to Xingchen Technology in the next few days."

Lin Wan stood beside her and clearly heard the contents of the phone call.

A hint of surprise also appeared in her eyes.

This is by no means an empty title of an ordinary association, but rather a national-level institutionalized recruitment and official designation of top young business leaders.

Once this appointment is finalized, Chen Mo will be officially included in the core sequence of the national macro-industrial narrative and youth leaders, and it will be absolutely impossible for Lin Wan to unilaterally represent him in all top-level political and business dialogues in the future.

"President Lu," Chen Mo said with a playful look, "the surprise you promised at the airport was actually a ploy to push me into the spotlight."

"You can refuse."

Lu Zhilan spoke calmly.

"No one will force you to take on public duties because of your age or current status."

"However, I still want to remind you that the reason we kept it completely private before was to protect you."

"As you become more active both domestically and internationally, more and more people are starting to notice you, and this unknown aspect will attract more speculation and investigation."

"Appropriate disclosure can also be a form of protection."

Chen Mo looked out the window again.

Lu Zhilan's words were completely consistent with his earlier assessment.

The French honor has been recorded in the official history.

The association's identity will be announced soon.

The traces left by Douyin, Chuangsheng, and Chenxi projects are becoming increasingly numerous.

Continuing to keep oneself completely hidden will not only fail to eliminate attention, but will also allow the outside world to dig deeper into more dangerous directions.

He needs to give the public an answer.

But only he himself can write this answer.

I accept.

Chen Mo said.

Lu Zhilan seemed to have anticipated this choice.

"What's the official stance?"

"At this time, only the identities of the Tsinghua University student and the founder of Xingchen Technology have been confirmed."

"I had Xing Chenjia handle the communication with the embassy regarding the manuscript from France."

"Can."

Lu Zhilan reminded her.

"However, once you step into the limelight, the outside world won't always ask questions within the boundaries you've drawn."

"People will pay attention to the source of wealth, family background, and romantic relationships."

"I know."

"The security aspects need to be reassessed."

"Qin Feng and the new security team will take charge."

The two also confirmed the date of the awarding of medals and the timing of the association's document release.

After the phone call ended, the study became quiet again.

Lin Wan stared at the young man in front of her.

"It seems even the heavens aren't going to let you continue being lazy."

"yes."

Chen Mo picked up the Tsinghua University recruitment plan from the table.

"Instead of waiting for others to uncover the truth for me, I'd rather go out and find it myself."

"How do you plan to announce it?"

Chen Mo turned to the page for the Tsinghua University special session.

"The first core members of Starry Sky came from campuses. Let's start from campuses."

Lin Wan understood the answer from his actions.

"The Tsinghua University session was originally scheduled to be held in the School of Economics and Management auditorium."

"It can only accommodate 600 people."

"Let's change locations."

"The auditorium?"

"Communicate with the school first."

Chen Mo said.

If the news was released entirely by Xingchen, it would look too much like a carefully planned publicity stunt.

Let it spread naturally among the students; it will be more authentic that way.

Lin Wan picked up her phone, ready to contact the group's human resources director.

Before dialing, she asked one more question.

What job title is listed on the poster?

Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

"Chen Mo, founder of Star Technology".

Lin Wan nodded gently.

The call was answered quickly.

"Notify the Tsinghua University campus recruitment team."

"The event format has been adjusted; we are requesting a change of venue."

"One more name has been added to the guest list."

She looked at Chen Mo, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and her voice was clear and firm.

"Chen Mo, founder of Star Technology".

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean...?"

"He will attend in person and give a public speech to the entire school."

Lin Wanli hung up the phone.

Outside the window, the night wind swept across the elevated highway of the East Fourth Ring Road, making the city lights appear as vast and surging as a galaxy.

For two years, this young tycoon, who had been hiding deep within his empire and controlling hundreds of billions, finally decided on this night to step into the spotlight himself.

I want to tell those who are trying to find the answer that I am right here.
