Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

94: Chapter 94: A Miraculous Resurrection: Nuclear Fusion Approval SecuredA deathly silence filled the hospital room. Everyone’s gaze was fixed intently on Old Master Wu lying on the sickbed, not even daring to breathe too heavily.

After Chen Mo injected the longevity serum, he stood quietly for less than three minutes. Suddenly, he released Wu Dongju’s hand, turned, and walked out of the room.

Wu Dongju’s face paled with fright. She was just about to call out and question him when she saw Chen Mo had already stepped through the doorway.

The doctors and the Wu Family members in the room immediately rushed out after him, surrounding him, their eyes full of anxiety and doubt.

Chen Mo swept his gaze over the crowd around him, then said:

”Alright, Old Master Wu is fine now.”

The lead attending physician was stunned for a moment, then a look of sorrow appeared on his face as he let out a soft sigh:

”Mr. Chen, I understand your feelings... The old master dedicated his whole life to the country. We all did our best. Please don’t be too sad.”

Several other doctors nearby also lowered their heads, their expressions full of pity.

The Wu Family members’ expressions changed drastically, each sighing and lamenting, though who knew how many were truly sincere.

They were probably all thinking about how the Wu Family would stand after losing its pillar.

Wu Dongju’s legs went weak, tears instantly welling up in her eyes as she moved to throw herself into Chen Mo’s arms and cry again.

Chen Mo frowned, then reached out to steady her, speaking somewhat helplessly:

”What are you crying for? I said he’s saved, not gone!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the corridor instantly fell silent. Everyone stared at Chen Mo with looks of utter disbelief.

Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered to explain further. He turned and walked toward the elevator at the end of the corridor, leaving behind a crowd of stunned Wu Family members and doctors.

Only after Chen Mo’s figure had completely disappeared did everyone snap back to reality, rushing quickly back into the hospital room!

Not long after, a burst of cheers erupted from the room.

Time passed swiftly like flowing water.

One day, Chen Mo was sunbathing on the lawn of the Rose Garden Estate when his phone rang. It was a call from the higher-ups, summoning him for a talk.

After listening, Chen Mo replied directly:

”No time, not going.”

He understood clearly in his heart that the other party needed him now. Taking the initiative to go to them would put him at a disadvantage. Until the nuclear fusion matter was resolved, he wouldn’t budge an inch.

Sure enough, just three days later, good news arrived:

The authorities officially approved Tianxing Technology’s construction of a nuclear fusion power plant, giving it the green light all the way with no obstacles.

Chen Mo immediately summoned Zhang Kai to the estate.

As soon as Zhang Kai entered, Chen Mo tossed him a delicate small porcelain vial.

Zhang Kai immediately reached out to catch it. Opening it, his eyes instantly went wide:

”Mr. Chen, is this the life-extension medicine you mentioned? It can really extend life by five years?”

”Nonsense, this is the solid form,” Chen Mo said casually, reclining on the lounge chair.

”Give three pills a year to the higher-ups. One person can only take one; taking more is useless.

In the future, if anyone dares to privately ask me for the medicine, tell them to handle it themselves. Don’t bother me with it.”

Zhang Kai swallowed hard, clutching the vial tightly in both hands as if cradling a priceless treasure.

Seeing his nervous state, Chen Mo tossed over another vial and said:

”These three pills are your reward. Arrange them yourself. Don’t ask for more anytime soon.”

”Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you, Mr. Chen!” Zhang Kai’s voice trembled with excitement.

He immediately thought to himself: he’d use them for his parents and himself first before sending the rest up.

Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered with his little schemes. The nuclear plant was approved, and the technology and formula were firmly in his own hands. This deal was a guaranteed win.

After sending Zhang Kai away, Chen Mo entered the laboratory set up within the estate.

Ever since buying the estate, Chen Mo had built a new lab there so he wouldn’t have to go all the way to the Tianxing Technology Industrial Base.

A few days later, while Chen Mo was conducting research, Liu Yifei knocked and entered, immediately attaching herself to his side the moment she came in.

He had been meeting with Liu Yifei frequently lately, causing their relationship to progress rapidly.

”You’ve ignored me for days,” Liu Yifei pouted, her eyes full of grievance.

Chen Mo patted her head, though his mind was actually elsewhere.

A few days ago, he had come across an app called Kuaishou. Wasn’t this the embryonic form of short-form video from his previous life?

(Kuaishou’s predecessor was GIF Kuaishou, born in March 2011, officially launched in late July 2011, and transformed into a short-form video platform in July 2013, renamed Kuaishou.)

While doing research these past few days, he had taken some time to merge Douyin and Kuaishou, creating a brand-new short-form video platform.

Seeing him distracted, Liu Yifei gently tugged his arm:

”Chen Mo, a director approached me to act in a movie, asking me to audition. Come with me, please?”

Chen Mo shook his head and said:

”I’m busy lately. Go by yourself.”

Liu Yifei hugged Chen Mo’s arm, acting coquettishly:

”Come with me, please? Pretty please?”

Chen Mo, helpless, stretched out his hand:

”I really don’t have time lately! Give me his number. I’ll make a call.”

Liu Yifei pouted and said ”Okay,” then found the number and handed it over.

Chen Mo dialed the number and said directly:

”This is Chen Mo. Liu Yifei is my friend. Arrange her audition directly.”

The voice on the other end instantly became extremely respectful:

”Understood, Mr. Chen! I’ll handle it right away!”

After hanging up, Chen Mo looked at her:

”Go by yourself. Don’t talk carelessly outside, alright?”

”Thank you, darling!” Liu Yifei planted a kiss on his cheek and then left. She had just been looking for an excuse to see Chen Mo, never expecting he would lower himself to call the director directly.

After she left, Chen Mo called Zhang Kai over.

When Zhang Kai arrived, Chen Mo emerged from the laboratory, carrying a phone.

Zhang Kai stepped forward and said:

”Mr. Chen, you wanted to see me?”

Chen Mo handed him the phone:

”This is an app I just made, called Tianxing Video. Have people test it. Not a single word is to be leaked without my permission.”

Zhang Kai took the phone.
