Seeing her motionless, Xu Deming was furious and wanted to continue questioning, but Xu Shuying quickly restrained him.
Xie Bingyan was still injured and receiving intravenous fluids; her condition required her to rest without emotional upheaval.
“Let Mom recover a bit more before we discuss this! She still needs to heal!” Xu Shuying, in her white lab coat, also gave Xie Bingyan a serious look.
Xu Deming, seeing this, clenched his fists: “Hurry and have the police investigate! I want to know where Junzhe is! The car was overturned—how could he just disappear?”
“The police said it’s possible that he fell off a cliff when the car was overturned. But they still need to investigate!” Xu Xuehui had just spoken with the police, and they were also uncertain.
“Then urge them to find Junzhe as quickly as possible!” Xu Deming was extremely anxious.
Seeing his agitation, Xu Xuehui was somewhat puzzled, but Junzhe was indeed important. As the CEO of Fengxiang Jewelry, he was dearly loved by both Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming. His sudden disappearance was a significant concern.
Xu Xuehui didn’t want to ask more and looked at Xie Bingyan, who was lying in bed with her head and body wrapped in bandages, feeling deeply worried.
She hoped that this incident had nothing to do with Xu Mo.
She really hoped it wasn’t related to him.
Otherwise, Xu Xuehui wouldn’t know how to handle the situation.
After all, Xie Bingyan was Xu Mo’s biological mother!
…
Soon, the World Internet Conference was about to be held again, and Xu Mo was invited to attend.
In fact, the Pinduoduo Group had been very low-key in the market. Xu Mo and the other executives rarely attended meetings or participated in business exchanges. Even the Pinduoduo headquarters was almost non-existent, giving an air of extreme mystery.
Previously, Xu Mo had kept a low profile to prevent Xie Zhen from losing his temper. Later, it was because part of his focus was on the Xu family, and Xu Mo was too lazy to put effort into the group, as long as things were manageable.
This low-key and pragmatic style would continue for Pinduoduo, as it aimed to root itself at the grassroots level and pursue growth in the most fundamental aspects of e-commerce.
This time, not only was he invited to the Internet Conference, but he also had to participate in a business exchange meeting. Xu Mo was required to give a speech about his entrepreneurial journey and personal experiences. It was said that many students and professionals would attend as listeners.
Xu Mo naturally had no objections. Such events had become quite routine for him, and since Gu Huanxi was not quite suitable for it at the moment, it was better for him to go.
The people who invited him said that his story was somewhat legendary and asked him to share as much detail as possible to inspire others.
“From now on, we should try to reduce such business exchanges! They don’t seem particularly necessary. Our executives can attend training, but communication with peers isn’t really needed; it’s just a waste of money and time!”
“We only need to focus on one thing: being pragmatic, low-key, and doing the right things!” Xu Mo said to Gu Huanxi.
Gu Huanxi had her hair styled in a bun with a few strands falling beside her face. Her skin was fair, and her features were delicate. The black suit she wore accentuated her youthful figure, making her look refined and elegant.
In business, her beauty had brought some unnecessary trouble. There were many rumors outside saying she rose to her position because of her looks rather than her abilities. Xu Mo needed to ensure she proved she had the capability to manage a company valued at two hundred billion.
“So, what will you talk about?” Gu Huanxi’s eyebrows arched slightly, and her delicate lips revealed a hint of crystal color.
“I’ll just talk about whatever comes to mind; I don’t have a prepared speech! The current situation is still quite interesting!” Xu Mo plopped down on the desk and glanced at a document.
“Interesting? Are you referring to the Xu family’s affairs?” Gu Huanxi adjusted her black-framed glasses, making her appear even more dignified.
“Yes! It’s quite possible that Xu Deming might come looking for trouble with us! And it’s also possible that Xie Zhen might come back again! It’s such a pity that she didn’t die; it’s really a shame!” Xu Mo felt a deep sense of regret.
He had put in a lot of effort to achieve all this. He originally thought the matter was about to end, but he didn’t expect them to be so lucky.
“What if they do come?” Gu Huanxi asked with concern.
“Xie Zhen is also a smart person! He must already know I was involved, but he has no evidence, no way to prove it! So if he comes, he comes! As for Xu Deming, there’s no need to worry. He has even less evidence. Most likely, he’s just worried about his dear son… or rather, his adopted son!” Xu Mo’s lips curved into a slight smirk, filled with sarcasm. “He’ll beg me to spare Xu Junzhe!”
“It’s quite pathetic.”
“Yes, it’s very pathetic! It’s almost laughable!” Xu Mo looked into the distance. Although he spoke of it with a sense of mockery, his eyes were cold and unfeeling.
Xu Deming might find out the truth someday!
He certainly will.
It’s better that she didn’t die!
“It seems we still have to continue! Their issues won’t be resolved so easily! We need to keep going!” Xu Mo turned back with a smile.
“This is for you!” Gu Huanxi suddenly took out a red box and handed it to him.
“What’s this?” Xu Mo asked, surprised as he took the box.
“Open it! Take out what’s inside!” Gu Huanxi instructed, her face suddenly blushing.
Xu Mo opened the box in surprise and found a gold ring inside.
“What is this…” he wondered.
“Put it on my hand!” Gu Huanxi extended her long, slender hand, her face blushing even more, her expression full of shyness.
Xu Mo looked at her in surprise, not moving.
“Quickly!” Gu Huanxi, seeing that he didn’t move, felt her heart racing, slightly turning her head away, her face turning red to the roots of her ears, her big eyes darting around.
Xu Mo chuckled, a mischievous smile on his face, and said, “Huanxi, do you know what people outside are saying? They’re saying you’re…”
“They say I’m your mistress, but I don’t care! Just put it on!” Gu Huanxi held out her slender, pale hand.
Xu Mo couldn’t help but laugh and, after thinking for a moment, said, “Alright! If you don’t mind.”
He then put the ring on her hand.
Gu Huanxi quickly pulled her hand back to look at it, her mouth curling into a smile, full of joy.
“Back to work!” She didn’t look at Xu Mo, spreading out the documents and starting to work, her face still flushed, as if she was too shy even to look up.
Seeing her like this, Xu Mo felt a warm feeling in his heart and smiled.
—
The Internet conference went on as planned, and nothing significant happened.
However, besides the Internet conference, there was another somewhat smaller business sharing event.
This was organized by some senior leaders, intended to inspire students and entrepreneurs by discussing Xu Mo’s entrepreneurial journey.
Xu Mo didn’t have a prepared speech. When he took the stage, he began speaking off the cuff.
The story was long!
“What I want to talk about is the experience of the four of us co-founders! We grew together, faced difficulties together! My partners, Tang Lei, Gu Huanxi, Li Banzhuang, we braved the hardships hand in hand!”
“Back then! We were in an orphanage! Yes, the four of us grew up in an orphanage, just on the east side of the city. We used to beg together, set up street stalls together, and run from the city management! We were once beaten black and blue, bleeding from head to toe, just to earn a few bucks!”
“We survived those extremely tough times. At one point, we thought we might never grow up! But today, we’ve come out of it! We stand on a higher stage, looking into the distance…”
“Pinduoduo Group now has a market value of 250 billion!”
“It started as a tiny sapling and has grown into a towering tree. This growth will not stop; it continues to rise, to grow, until it reaches the sky!”
“Our childhood experiences make us cherish today’s achievements even more. We are still moving forward, cutting through thorns and obstacles…”

In the hospital room in Xia Hai City, the television was suddenly tuned to this channel!
