Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 800 2017, My Son-in-Law is the Richest Man
In Northeast China, the emphasis of gift-giving during the New Year is on sentiment rather than money; the heavy New Year's goods are filled with heartfelt wishes.

As a child, Chen Mo stood at the entrance of the orphanage, gazing at the dazzling array of New Year's goods in the hands of passersby on the street, his eyes filled with envy.

Now he can finally experience this feeling—tea, liquor, new clothes. He has carefully prepared all the practical New Year's goods he can think of.

When visiting someone's parents for the first time, the first impression is crucial, so he naturally couldn't be impolite.

When the door opened, Chen Mo's greeting left the two elders instantly petrified.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi's mother seemed to snap out of a daze: "Oh, Happy New Year! Come in quickly. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."

Chen Mo glanced at the scorching sun outside the window. Where was the cold in Sanya's 30-degree heat?

It seems that my appearance has indeed given the two elders quite a shock.

Qi's father was still in shock.

My daughter's boyfriend is the richest man in China. It's like a dream.

All they knew was that their daughter held an important position on the other side of the strait. They thought it was just good luck that she had caught a good opportunity, but they never expected that she would be so audacious as to bring her boss home with her.

No wonder my daughter kept stammering and wouldn't tell me the truth.

Fortunately, Qi Mengmeng is only 3 years younger than Chen Mo, so there were no awkward situations like "I call you Dad, but you call me Little Brother" or "My father-in-law was born when I was three years old".

Despite Chen Mo toning down his sharp edges and answering every question, and Qi Mengmeng trying to liven up the atmosphere, the two elders still appeared reserved.

It wasn't until the New Year's Eve dinner, after everyone had a few drinks, that the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

The four sat around on the terrace under the starry sky, fireworks blooming in the distance, and Spring Festival songs playing inside. Amidst their laughter and conversation, the way they addressed each other finally changed from "General Manager Chen" to "Xiao Mo".

Mr. Qi raised his glass and asked, "Xiao Mo, you're so successful, why did you fall for our Mengmeng?"

Chen Mo raised his wine glass with both hands, tilting the rim slightly lower, and said, "Uncle, it wasn't me who chose Mengmeng, nor was it Mengmeng who chose me. It was fate that brought us together naturally."

We met when we were both struggling. Back then, I was just a penniless and naive young man. Mengmeng was quite innocent; she liked me for who I am, not for anything else.
Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for raising such an outstanding daughter. You can rest assured that Mengmeng will be in my care from now on; I will ensure she suffers the slightest hardship.

After saying that, Chen Mo drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Qi Mengmeng's parents nodded, their eyes flashing with approval.

After the clock struck midnight, Chen Mo and Qi Mengmeng said goodbye and went to live in the villa next door.

After the door closed, the two elderly people breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly harmonious atmosphere just now; the person on the other end is, after all, a billionaire, or even a trillionaire.

How can one truly relax?

They didn't stop Qi Mengmeng from leaving with Chen Mo. After all, they had been living together for several years, and what was going to happen had already happened. They weren't old-fashioned people and didn't need to stick to any traditions.

I once overheard neighbors gossiping about a young couple who had been dating for several years. When I came home for the Lunar New Year, they insisted on having each other sleep in separate rooms, which eventually led to them breaking up.
I don’t know what he was thinking.

"Old Qi, Xiao Mo just said she doesn't want to get married."

"His identity is special. He's doing this for our sake and Mengmeng's. Getting married is just a piece of paper. As long as the two of us are happy, that's more important than anything else."

And didn't you hear him say that the child was still born, but he's busy with his career right now and has to wait another two years? That's enough.

"Yes, I think Xiao Mo is not the kind of person who breaks his word to achieve what he has today."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We've been through this before, and I can tell he's sincere towards our Mengmeng. Some unconscious actions don't lie."

"That makes sense. It's getting late, let's go to sleep. Xiao Mo said he'd take us out to sea tomorrow."

During his short stay in Sanya, Chen Mo shed all his glamour and became just an ordinary man longing for the warmth of a family. His meeting and time with Qi Mengmeng's parents was far warmer and more natural than he had imagined, allowing him to experience the warmth of home.

Seven days later, Qi Mengmeng's parents returned to their hometown in Hunan. Faced with persistent questioning from their extended family, Qi Mengmeng's parents unanimously replied, "Very good, very good~"

This trip to Sanya naturally became a hot topic of conversation among the neighbors.

Qi's mother, who used to love joining in the fun, is now completely uninterested in topics like "whose child got into a prestigious university" or "whose son-in-law is a civil servant," a stark contrast to her former self.

The neighbors gathered around curiously:
"Where are you staying in Sanya? How's the food? Where did you go for fun?"

"Not bad," Qi's mother replied casually.

"If you ask me, domestic travel is not as good as going abroad. Last year, my second child took us to Thailand for Chinese New Year, and the ladyboy show..."

In the past, Qi's mother would have listened with great interest. But after experiencing the luxurious trips arranged by her son-in-law, including private yachts and private jet transfers, these ordinary topics no longer hold her interest.

More importantly, she was unwilling to share her daughter's happiness with these neighbors because she was afraid of causing trouble for her daughter. After all, her son-in-law had a special status, and she knew all too well how these people were capable of spreading rumors.

"You guys keep chatting, I'm heading back now."

As I turned to leave, I vaguely heard whispers behind me:
"She seems like a completely different person after her trip to Sanya."

"They probably think Sanya is so great that they don't even want to share it with us."

"I guess it's because they're not satisfied with the boyfriend their Mengmeng found."

"Hmm, it's pretty much true that her daughter isn't young anymore. If this doesn't work out, she'll probably be worried sick later."

"Exactly, what good is making money on the other side? Women still need to get married and have children, otherwise what will they do when they get old?"

These gossipy women didn't notice the faint smile on Qi's mother's lips as she left.

Not satisfied? Absolutely satisfied, my son-in-law, you'd be shocked if I told you.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, as is customary, the management personnel of Bi'an returned to their posts, while the employees did not return to work until after the Lantern Festival.

Chen Mo and Qi Mengmeng returned to Beijing on a private plane.

On the way to the Bi'an Science and Technology Park, Chen Mo was already in work mode, talking to Zhang Yiming:

"Douyin will focus on three key areas this year: first, user growth brought by Kuaishou's sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala; second, the advantage of top Taobao Live streamers; and third, content control to prevent the platform from becoming vulgar."

As they approached the company, Chen Mo seemed to see something outside the car window. "...That's all for now, bye!"

"Old Mo, pull over."

A convoy of three Mercedes-Benz vehicles stopped in front of a subway station a few hundred meters from the entrance to the science park.

This subway station is on Line 16, which just opened at the end of last year. Considering the traffic congestion in Houchangcun, the government added a new station specifically for Zhongguancun Software Park.

Perhaps in recognition of the economic contributions that the other side has made to the local area over the past few years, it was named the other side station.

Chen Mo did not get off the bus, but stared through the window at the huge, uniform advertisements at the station entrance without saying a word.

The three cars temporarily parked on the side of the road gradually attracted the attention of passersby. Some people recognized them by their license plates and started pointing and whispering.
Seeing this, Chen Mo instructed, "Old Mo, let's go."

The vehicle slowly started and drove into the Bi'an Science and Technology Park, a few hundred meters away.

The billboards at the subway station entrance on the other side are all occupied by huge blue and green posters.

The poster reads, "You use WeChat for work, but you're always bothered by its trivial matters and gossip, so you're constantly working overtime."

The text at the bottom is large and eye-catching.
"Improve efficiency and avoid overtime; use DingTalk for enterprise communication!"
