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

evening.

The family compound of the County Transportation Bureau.

As soon as Su Shichao entered the door, before he could even take off his shoes, he saw his wife, Chen Liqin, sitting on the living room sofa, holding a cup of tea that had long since gone cold, looking somewhat lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Su Shichao put down his briefcase. "Did the meeting at the Education Bureau go badly today?"

Chen Liqin raised her head, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked:

"Shichao, have you ever heard of a student named Chen Mo?"

Su Shichao was taken aback: "Chen Mo? The one from the county's No. 1 High School who ranked first in the entire city?"

"Yes." Chen Liqin's tone became complicated. "She's also a classmate of Qingyan's."

Su Shichao stopped changing his shoes and turned to look at his wife: "Why did you suddenly ask him?"

Chen Liqin recounted what she had seen at the county government building that day.

Upon hearing that "Deputy County Head Wang personally escorted him out of the first conference room," Su Shichao finally frowned.

He was the director of the Transportation Bureau. Although he wasn't part of the core leadership of the county party committee, he could still hear about any major developments in the county recently.

This morning in particular, there was a temporary road closure in the eastern suburbs, and vehicles from the Mining Bureau and Land Bureau were frequently coming and going. The County Party Committee Office even specifically contacted the Transportation Bureau to ask them to prepare a road renovation plan for the eastern suburbs.

When these events are put together, the answer is almost obvious.

Su Shichao slowly sat down on the sofa, his voice lowered:

"The county did hold a very important closed-door meeting today, and it was quite high-level. I heard it was related to the mining industry in the eastern suburbs."

"Mining?" Chen Liqin's eyes narrowed. "A high school student attending a closed-door meeting on mining?"

Su Shichao did not answer immediately.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"That Chen Mo, I'm afraid his identity isn't that simple."

Chen Liqin's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly remembered Chen Mo, whom she had seen at the mall that day.

Moreover, he had called the principal a few days ago, hinting that he wanted to switch the two children's seats.

I hope this won't cause Chen Mo to misunderstand something.

The living room fell silent.

Just then, the sound of turning pages came from Su Qingyan's room.

Chen Liqin looked at her daughter's tightly closed bedroom door, and for the first time, her eyes became truly complicated.

In the past, she only saw Chen Mo as a male classmate who had suddenly made great strides in his studies and was getting too close to her daughter.

Even though Chen Mo acted much more composed than the average high school student in the mall that day, she only thought that the child had good upbringing and a precocious personality.

But what happened at the county committee building today completely shattered her original judgment.

Being able to walk out of the county party committee's main conference room, being personally escorted to the stairwell by Vice County Head Wang, and being able to participate in the closed-door meeting of the East Suburb Mining Company.

This can no longer be explained by simply saying "good grades".

"Shichao, you said..." Chen Liqin lowered her voice, her tone hesitant, "I called the principal of No. 1 High School before and said that Qingyan is in her final year of high school, so it's best not to get too close to male classmates, and asked the school to pay attention to the seating arrangement. Will this reach Chen Mo's ears?"

Su Shichao frowned.

He certainly knew why his wife did that.

Su Qingyan has always been the pride of her parents since childhood. She has excellent grades, a cool and aloof personality, and very clear goals.

At the crucial senior year of high school, any slightest disturbance will be magnified in the eyes of parents.

If Chen Mo were just an ordinary student, this kind of handling would naturally not be a problem.

But now...

Su Shichao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Logically speaking, the school wouldn't tell students this kind of thing directly. But I can't say whether Liu Jianguo is tight-lipped or not. Besides, if Chen Mo really has other backgrounds, it might not be difficult for him to find out these things."

Chen Liqin's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Chen Mo.

She suddenly realized that she might have been wrong from the start because she had been looking at this boy with the same eyes she would use to look at an ordinary high school student.

"I'm not targeting him," Chen Liqin said softly. "I'm just worried about Qingyan."

"I know," Su Shichao sighed.

At this point, he turned to look at Su Qingyan's door, his voice lowering even further:

"Has Qingyan been mentioning him a lot lately?"

Chen Liqin paused for a moment.

She thought about the changes in her daughter during this period.

In the past, when Su Qingyan returned home, she would mostly read quietly, and during meals she would only chat briefly about things at school.

But things are different recently.

She would occasionally mention that "Chen Mo handed in his paper early again," or that "Chen Mo's solution to this problem was strange, but quick," or that "Chen Mo's speech is always unreliable."

His tone was reproachful and defiant.

There was also a kind of concern that she, as a mother, could immediately sense.

Chen Liqin gently put down her teacup, her expression somewhat helpless: "She won't admit it, but I can tell that Qingyan treats Chen Mo differently from others."

Su Shichao rubbed his temples.

His position as the director of the transportation bureau made him understand one principle better than his wife.

The worst thing about relationships between people is not being able to see the true value of each other.

If Chen Mo were just an ordinary teenager, he would naturally hope that his daughter would stay away from him and focus all her attention on the college entrance examination.

However, if Chen Mo is truly involved in the major eastern suburbs project that the county is currently promoting, and may even hold a pivotal position, then this matter cannot be simply treated as a sign of puppy love.

"Don't rush to intervene," Su Shichao finally said. "Qingyan is stubborn. The more you stop her, the more likely she is to get stuck on her own ideas."

Chen Liqin looked at him: "So, we're just going to leave it alone?"

"It's not that we're ignoring it, it's that we need to see things clearly first." Su Shichao's voice was calm. "I'll go to the bureau tomorrow to inquire about the situation of the East Suburbs project. Whether Chen Mo is just showing up with his elders or is he himself a key figure in it, we'll find out soon enough."

Chen Liqin nodded, but she still felt uneasy.

Just then, Su Qingyan's door was suddenly opened.

The girl, wearing a soft loungewear sweater and carrying a thick physics workbook, walked out of her room.

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

Su Qingyan had only come out to pour a glass of water, but when she saw the way her parents were looking at her at the same time, she paused slightly.

That look in their eyes was so strange.

It sounded like worry, but also like a test.

Chen Liqin quickly regained her composure and smiled, "It's nothing, we were just chatting about your school."

"School?" Su Qingyan walked to the water dispenser, poured half a glass of warm water, and asked, "Did Teacher Liu call again?"

"No," Chen Liqin asked casually. "Qingyan, is Chen Mo from your class still at school?"

Su Qingyan paused slightly in her grip on the water glass.

"Him..." Su Qingyan lowered her head and took a sip of water, trying to keep her tone calm. "Sometimes he's here, sometimes he's on leave. What's wrong?"

"Nothing much," Chen Liqin said gently. "I think I saw him at the county government building today."

"The county government building?"

Su Qingyan suddenly raised her head.

The surprise in those beautiful peach blossom eyes was almost impossible to hide.

Chen Liqin and Su Shichao exchanged a glance.

really.

The daughter doesn't know.

Su Qingyan quickly realized what was happening, coughed lightly, and said casually, "Maybe I saw it wrong. What would a student be doing at the county government building?"

Even after saying those words, she herself had no confidence whatsoever.

There are too many strange things about Chen Mo.

A Mercedes with five 8s.

The Peninsula restaurant staff ordered food with the skill of someone who didn't seem like a high school student.

Those judgments about future trends.

He would frequently take leave, but each time he returned, he acted as if nothing had happened, and his grades became increasingly outrageous.

In the past, Su Qingyan would have forced herself to believe that Chen Mo was just smart, precocious, and had a secret.

But now, even his mother saw him at the county government building.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to be farther away from Chen Mo's real world than she had imagined.

Looking at her daughter's expression, Chen Liqin sighed softly but did not press the matter further.

"Maybe," she said softly. "You're in your final year of high school, so you should know what's going on."

Su Qingyan pursed her lips: "I know."

After saying that, she picked up her water glass, turned around, and went back to her room.

The moment the door closed, the girl leaned against it, her heart inexplicably beating faster.

County Party Committee Building.

Chen Mo.

What exactly did he do this time?

Su Qingyan looked down at the slightly swaying water in her cup, and the image of Chen Mo's face, which was always nonchalant yet seemed to have everything under control, floated into her mind.

A moment later, she picked up her phone from the table and opened the QQ chat window.

The cursor is blinking.

She wanted to ask, but didn't know how.

Finally, Su Qingyan bit her lip and sent only one message:

"Chen Mo, where did you go today?"
