Chapter 96
Chen Mo thus began his long vacation.
Xi Siyan set almost harsh requirements for his diet and daily life, and they had to be implemented. Chen Mo obeyed most of the time because he knew that the person who really couldn't escape from the scene of the seven-story unfinished building was actually Xi Siyan.
He once said that he never felt that seeing certain things in the past meant that he was himself.
But Chen Mo knew that he had actually immersed himself deeply in the situation.
He would cling to him even in his sleep at night.
He would subconsciously get nervous when he got close to certain edges.
Every time I can't see him, I turn around and look for him.
Xi Siyan's headache disappeared inexplicably after New Year's Day.
I don't know if it was a coincidence that the aftereffects of the explosion just disappeared, or if there were some other stimulating reasons, and it is impossible to find out.
This year was the first year they met again after five years. Until the paleness on Chen Mo's face faded, the days changed from winter to early spring, and the old calendar turned to the new year.
Chen Mocai finally returned to the company to work.
On the first day of the new year, at eight o'clock in the morning, I met many colleagues in the elevator.
"Mr. Chen, did you have a good New Year?"
Chen Mo smiled and nodded: "Very good."
"I think it's good, too." The colleague next to him, who is from the R&D department, took over the conversation and said, "Boss, you look good."
Chen Mo subconsciously touched his face, "Really?"
Facing the other party's affirmative answer, Chen Mo thought to himself, indeed, it would be weird if he didn't look good according to Xi Siyan's regimen.
Eat six different meals a day. While taking medicine, focus on restoring nutrition and improving long-term loss of appetite.
In addition, his relationship with Xi Siyan was semi-public on both sides. He stayed at Xi's house for a while during the Chinese New Year, and later Xi Siyan accompanied him to visit his maternal grandfather Zhou's house.
Both families have elderly ladies, and their health-preserving experience is completely not on the same level as Chen Mo's, who has only been doing superficial work and is half self-deceptive.
Under the supervision of all parties, Xi Siyan strictly implemented it, and Chen Mo's five years of non-stop life slowed down.
With a good rest and good nutrition, even the doctor said that he could resume his normal life and diet. Otherwise, Xi Siyan would not have agreed to let him come at the beginning of the new year.
The elevator was crowded with people, and as more people got on, Chen Mo slowly moved to the back.
There are a lot of whispering voices in front. If you listen carefully, you will find that what they are saying is related to Chen Mo.
"Is Mr. Chen from the R&D department not here for work yet? Mr. K only said he was taking a leave before the New Year. Why?"
"I heard some rumors that he had an operation."
"Surgery? There was a fire at home before. You say Mr. Chen is so young, but he has suffered so many disasters."
"Who said it wasn't? A friend of mine works for a CM company and has only been working for less than half a year. Before the New Year, he heard that the entire group was in a state of panic and the boss was in a terrible mood." At this point, he began to laugh, "Do you think it has something to do with our CEO Chen?"
"How is it related to Mr. Chen?"
"Don't you know? There were rumors before that the two of them had an unusual relationship. And Mr. Chen didn't actually ignore everything during his recovery. Someone went to Mr. Chen to discuss work, and said that his nanny started to send guests away halfway through, saying that Mr. Xi set the time. Isn't this just living together?"
The first people who were in the elevator with Chen Mo all looked embarrassed.
But some people couldn't stand it anymore and quietly poked the person who was talking in the back. The people who were talking looked back and their faces started to turn red, not knowing what to do.
The elevator arrived just in time.
Chen Mo got out of the elevator and saw a few people waiting outside. They seemed to want to apologize.
He smiled first: "You're not leaving? The clock-in time is almost up."
"Mr. Chen." Someone said, "I'm sorry, we just heard it from someone else, nothing else..."
"It's not hearsay." Chen Mo interrupted, but did not elaborate further, keeping his smile, "It's a new year, I rely on you all, keep working hard."
Chen Mo walked away.
Behind.
"Hell, no denial!"
"Shut up, it's already been agreed upon a long time ago, we were just keeping a low profile. You guys insisted on saying it in public, it's not embarrassing enough. Go away now."
…
Chen Mo just arrived at his office.
Old K came in.
"How are you recovering?" Old K leaned on his desk and looked at him. "Your guy is so worried. I almost committed suicide to apologize to you when I heard you had gastric bleeding. I thought I abused you too much in the past five years. You were considered child labor when you worked for my university project. If Xi knew about this, would he skin me alive?"
Chen Mo put down his bag, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking up: "Only those under the age of sixteen are considered child laborers. Also, he is not as boring as you. He doesn't go to work early in the morning and comes to chat with me."
“I just feel emotional.”
Old K looked around his office and then looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
He said, "Who would have thought a few years ago that we could come this far with Xinrui? Do you remember that the environment in our first office was very bad? The circuits were always broken."
Chen Mo was suspicious, "Do you have something to say?"
"Okay, yes." Old K approached instantly and said quickly: "Our Phase II core technology has been shortlisted for the highest international artificial intelligence science and technology award! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so no matter what, convince President Xi to go abroad with me!"
Chen Mo frowned: "When?"
"next week."
"Next week?" Chen Mo thought for a moment. "It's OK before Friday, but not after that."
Old K breathed a sigh of relief as there was no conflict in time.
But he still asked, "Do you have anything to do on Friday?"
"Well, Suicheng No. 1 Middle School is celebrating its 50th anniversary. I have to go back."
Old K nodded, "Oh, it's time to go back and take a look at the place where you and President Xi got engaged."
Chen Mo: "...Shut up, I'm going back to give a speech."
It was a sunny and windy Friday.
Suicheng No. 1 Middle School seems to be still the same. The spring is not like the noisy summer with cicadas, nor like the bone-chilling winter. The temperature is just right, and the cherry blossoms and magnolias in the school are beautiful.
Old Xiang Xiang Sheng Long hasn't changed much.
He was still holding the triangle ruler, looking serious but actually careful.
Director Lai stood on the stage. The wig made him look much younger. His voice was loud and sincere.
“This is a special gathering, and it is also a day for us to receive blessings…”
Under the stage, Chen Mo tilted his head to look at the man sitting next to him, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with suspicion in his eyes, "We are all outstanding graduates, why do you have to sit in the leadership seat?"
Xi Siyan looked over and raised his eyebrows, "I can't help it. The Xi family donated money and I am a shareholder."
Someone in the back row climbed onto the chairs between the two of them, came up to Xi Siyan and said, "We agreed to walk together for life, whoever betrays us first is a dog. We are all suffering up there like we are singing Peking opera, and you are clapping your hands with a clear conscience down there. Xi Gou, you really have changed!"
Xi Siyan looked back at Qi Lin who was flying back, his eyes full of disgust, "Get lost."
"Brother Mo." Qi Lin immediately turned to him, "Why can't you take care of him? Are you mentally balanced?"
Chen Mo was dressed casually today.
His loose, clean, snow-white cotton and linen shirt and his casually styled hair made him stand out as he sat in the first row among a group of people who looked much more mature after graduation.
Chen Mo turned his head and replied to Qi Lin: "Didn't you hear that I'm a shareholder of the school? I'm a three-good student, I'm afraid."
Qi Lin pretended to vomit and complained: "I noticed that you two have been together for so long that your intestines are the same color, both black."
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Lao Gou came over with a big bag of drinks.
He brought the bag directly in front of Chen Mo and motioned him to take it. "Lao Xiang bought it. I see there are quite a lot of people from our group today. I never realized there were so many people in Suicheng before."
Chen Mo took out a bottle of green drink.
"Some of them rushed back from other places. Qi Lin is one of them."
Qi Lin didn't have any serious manners to lean on, and said, "I really didn't come here to attend the school celebration. I just suddenly remembered that I haven't been back for several years. Besides, didn't Mr. Xi return to China? I have to come back to join in the fun."
Xi Siyan frowned at him and said, "Don't use me as an excuse. What's wrong with you? Have you been fooled again?"
"Fuck." Qi Lin cursed in a low voice, then raised his head again: "Nothing, I don't want to play anymore. And you, can't you see through it without saying it, it's boring! Chen Mo, do you have bad eyesight? What are you trying to do to make peace... Ah! Xi Siyan, a gentleman should talk, not fight, don't you know!"
Xi Siyan took back the hand that threw the drink at him and said coldly: "Keep your voice down, people who don't know would think you are crazy because of a broken heart."
Qi Lin was hit hard again and again and almost vomited blood.
When he turned around, he saw that the drink that Chen Mo had just unscrewed the cap of was taken away by Xi Siyan.
Xi Siyan: "Don't drink this, it has coloring."
Then he turned around and gave Chen Mo a bottle of mineral water.
While Qi Lin was looking at him as if he were a pervert, Chen Mo took the bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
Qi Lin shook his head: "Brother Mo, do you still remember that you were a bully in high school? The way you look like you have been tamed and let Xi Gou be your father makes me feel like my worldview is about to be shattered."
"Really?" Chen Mo nodded, "Are you unhappy because of a breakup? It's okay, I understand."
Qi Lin: “…”
He shuts up, he deserves it!
Director Lai's speech is coming to an end.
We haven't had much contact in recent years, but we've never lost contact.
Director Lai looked directly in the direction of Chen Mo, holding the microphone and said, "Next is the speech session for outstanding graduates. The first person on stage is probably familiar to everyone. He has made great achievements in recent years and has been deeply involved in the field of intelligent technology. He is a graduate of the class of XX, currently studying for a master's and doctorate at Q University, and one of the founders of Xinrui Technology, Chen Mo!"
Such an introduction did not cause any response among a group of high school students who were experiencing heavy schoolwork every day.
Those who responded were basically well-known people from all walks of life who were invited back, including school leaders.
It was not until Chen Mo came on stage that one could hear the booing and screaming from the students.
Lao Gou had returned to his seat, next to Qi Lin.
Looking at the stage, he exclaimed, "Is Chen Mo nearsighted? Why is he still wearing glasses? He didn't have them before he went on stage."
The pair of glasses with thin silver frames added a sense of maturity and abstinence to his overly young outfit today.
He naturally walked to the podium and placed his speech on it.
When he opened his mouth, he didn't look at the script.
The gentle breeze in the school carried his voice clearly.
"Before coming here today, I had a very official speech manuscript from Baidu. But someone read it and said that it was probably written by a Chinese teacher with his feet. It was long and boring."
There was a burst of laughter.
"Finally I decided to listen to the advice and talk about my idea of a middle school..."
As the people on the stage talked.
The excitement below was getting louder and louder.
People from that class gathered together and laughed and said, "Brother Mo is still the same Brother Mo. When he went on stage to read his self-criticism, the crickets below were chirping just like today."
"You didn't see the scene after the college entrance examination. There were crowds of people shouting his name in the corridors of the teaching building. At that time, everyone thought he was sure to be the first in the city. Later, when the results came out, he was severely criticized by Lao Xiang. Everyone who mentioned him was angry."
"You must have already gone abroad by then, Old Xi. What a pity. Do you regret not taking the college entrance examination?"
Xi Siyan sat with his legs crossed.
Keep your eyes on the person above.
After hearing that, I said, “Yes, what a pity.”
What’s a pity is not missing the college entrance examination.
But it's the person who missed that year.
As dazzling as Chen Mo, she is a jade bead that even dust cannot bury.
As long as he stands there, no matter what fate holds, no matter how many times they meet again, those who are destined to fall in love with him will be moved thousands of times.
