I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 108 Father Chen Appears
"you are?"

The light fragrance emanating from the other person's hands was completely different from the milky scent on Saori's body, nor was it like the refreshing scent on Shen Xinyi's body, but a smell similar to that of flowers.

As the saying goes, you can tell a woman by her scent. Among the girls Chen Xi has come into contact with recently, he has not met a girl with this kind of scent.

"How stupid! It's only been a few years since we last met, and you don't recognize me."

A feminine voice full of energy and dissatisfaction sounded behind him, and the other party had given a hint.

After a brief thought, he roughly understood the identity of the girl.

"Shanshan?"

"Bingo!"

The girl was very satisfied with Chen Xi's answer. She immediately let go of her hand, put her hands behind her back with a playful look.

Chen Xi turned around and looked at the other person carefully.

A few years have passed, and the girl is still as beautiful as before.

Zhao Lingshan is Chen Xi’s childhood sweetheart. They have known each other since kindergarten and have been together all the way to Huaguang School.

However, she chose to transfer schools halfway through her studies and arrived in Tu'ao earlier than Chen Xi.

Previously, Chen Xi learned that he would go to school with her in Xi Village, but before boarding the plane, he found out that he was going to Mo Village. As a result, the two did not meet each other. They only talked on the phone once when he first arrived in Tuao.

Chen Xi felt a little guilty towards Zhao Lingshan.

When they were at Huaguang School, many boys liked Zhao Lingshan. They often teased Chen Xi about her relationship, and some even asked Chen Xi whether he liked her.

Although Chen Xi and Zhao Lingshan were only playmates since childhood, he was introverted when he was young and did not like other people's gossip, so he directly denied his feelings for Zhao Lingshan.

In order to avoid contact with Zhao Lingshan, he deliberately kept a distance from her at school.

In an accident, Zhao Lingshan accidentally broke her leg and was sent to the infirmary.

After learning the news, Chen Xi did not go to visit her.

This incident has always been a thorn in his heart, and he feels a little guilty towards Zhao Lingshan.

Although he later learned that the other party had recovered, he still couldn't let it go.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Xi looked at the girl in front of him with long flowing hair, delicate face, light makeup, and surrounded by luxury goods, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Zhao Lingshan's family background is also good, but she has had a bit of a spoiled girl's temper since she was a child. However, she is very kind to Chen Xi.

Her consumption concept is also relatively generous. She would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a bag. At this point in time, this level of consumption would be enough to buy a nice house in a second-tier city.

"Heh~ This is my territory, why can't I be here?"

The other person crossed her arms over her chest and said coquettishly.

"I'm waiting for someone to pick me up. I need to call my dad. Please wait a moment."

Chen Xi picked up the phone and was about to make a call.

"Stop fighting, I'm the one who's here to pick you up."

Zhao Lingshan strode forward, grabbed his arm, and started walking towards the elevator.

Before Chen Xi could react, the two of them had already arrived at the elevator door.

This girl is still as impatient as before, alas.

Chen Xi sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, as time went by, his contacts with Zhao Lingshan gradually decreased.

After Zhao Lingshan obtained her identity in Tu'ao, she stayed in Xi Village. Although the two families had a good relationship, due to the distance, Chen Xi's relationship with her gradually became distant.

"Why would my dad ask you to pick me up?"

Standing in the elevator, Chen Xi turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on his childhood sweetheart whom he had not seen for a long time.

She was the school belle when she was in Huaguang School. Now that she has grown up, she exudes a more mature charm.

This charm made him look at it twice more, and a subtle emotion surged in his heart.

"Uncle finally came here once, so I naturally have to treat him well."

Zhao Lingshan's tone was full of matter-of-factness, and she acted as if she was picking up her own father, which made Chen Xi feel a little funny.

In fact, the two grew up together and have a very deep affection for each other.

Because they were too familiar with each other, Chen Xi never had any special feelings for her, and he believed that Zhao Lingshan thought the same way.

The relationship between the two is pure and simple, without a trace of ambiguity or vagueness.

"Have you got a girlfriend yet?"

In the elevator, Shanshan pursed her lips and played with her earlobe with one hand. This was a unique habit she had since childhood.

"Even if you do, don't tell my family. They don't allow me to have a relationship."

Chen Xi did not hide it, but his family had always been against it, so he told the other party not to tell anyone else.

"Just talk, you're already a grown-up, why are you still playing secretive?"

Zhao Lingshan curled her lips, showing a disdainful expression.
"What about you?"

"No, men nowadays are too weak. I like men who are capable and strong."

"Heh, you're so strong, why do you still want to find someone strong? Wouldn't that mean you'll be fighting at home every day?"

"That's different. My dad is just not strong and not manly at all."

"Haha, nowadays girls like warm men, the kind who are gentle and considerate."

"Are you a woman or am I a woman? Do you know better than me?"

As the elevator arrived, the two stopped talking.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and followed Shan Shan to another room with a serious expression.

He hadn't seen his father for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Look at you being so cowardly, hehe~"

Zhao Lingshan covered her mouth with her hands and giggled as she pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door of the room opened gently. A middle-aged man over 1.8 meters tall, wearing glasses and a well-tailored suit appeared at the door.

His figure exudes a kind of majesty under the light. Under the glasses are a pair of deep eyes, revealing a sharp and wise light, as if they can see into people's hearts.

The man's originally expressionless face immediately turned into a smile after seeing Zhao Lingshan.

"Look at you, learn more from Shanshan. She is a girl who went out earlier than you, but she is able to do things in a comprehensive manner..."

Father Chen turned his head to look at Chen Xi, still with a smile on his face, but his words were clearly derogatory.

Chen Xi did not speak, because every time he opened his mouth, the other party would ruthlessly brainwash him with all kinds of reasons. So, in this life, he chose to remain silent.

"come in."

When he didn't respond, his father motioned for them to go inside.

This room is very large and luxuriously decorated. It is obviously the most luxurious room here.

The furnishings in the room are very exquisite, and every piece of furniture appears to be very valuable.

The paintings on the walls and the sculptures on the ground reveal an elegant artistic atmosphere.

"You guys sit down."

Father Chen pointed to the sofa and sat on a single chair himself so that he could observe the two people better.

Chen Xi and Zhao Shanshan sat on the long sofa. Although it was a bit hard, it still made people feel very comfortable sitting on it.

"I called you here this time because of the exhibition, and I also want you to meet with the German people, and also to launch new products..."

Father Chen's tone turned serious.

The machine tool company run by Chen Xijia has a close cooperative relationship with Germany.

The materials were all provided by there. The license plates at home were all black before. People who do business understand this. It was considered a foreign-funded enterprise in the past.

In terms of technology, Chen Xi's company initially borrowed technology from the Sakura Country and improved it.

Over time, they combined the strengths of both, independently innovated many technologies, and established multiple brands of their own.

Today, they can be said to be one of the leaders in China's civil machine tool industry.

Many machine tool products that appeared later were produced based on their products.

Although there are still some shortcomings in materials and technology, the price is relatively cheap, so it still occupies a certain share in the market.

Chen Xi's machine tool company has been established for many years and can be regarded as a veteran in this industry.

"This product was developed by the Baxi Company's research institute. Xiao Hu has been communicating too frequently with foreign businessmen from the Middle East recently..."

My father kept talking.

Chen Xijia set up a research institute in Baxi, focusing on the research and development of new products.

Xiao Hu is a technician. Chen Xi's father had intended to train him, so he sent him abroad to study and let him master some business.

Chen's father planned to train him into an all-round talent, but Xiao Hu was an early employee who followed Chen Xi's mother.

Chen Xi's mother has always been very friendly to her employees, while Chen's father is very strict.

Since the two divorced, the business of the two machine tool brands originally managed by Chen Xi's mother has declined.

In his previous life, Xiao Hu changed jobs and started his own machine tool business.

In previous lives, many factory managers who came out of Chen Xi's family started to work on their own and achieved success.

Finally, a large number of machine tool brands appeared on the market, all of which were developed by employees of his company.

Chen Xi's father later thought that the industry's profits had become lower, so he began to shift his focus to the financial industry.

What his father meant just now was probably that he wanted Chen Xi to use this exhibition to persuade Xiao Hu to stay in the company and work hard.

She must have noticed that Xiao Hu was planning to change jobs, and she might even think that Xiao Hu's job change was instigated by his mother behind the scenes.

Therefore, he was asked to be a lobbyist. After all, Xiao Hu was a talent that his father had spent a lot of resources to cultivate, and he was very capable.

If Xiao Hu leaves, the company will lose an important talent.

My father didn't explain it directly, but his meaning was very clear, that is, the company would suffer a great loss if it lost this talent, and as the successor of the group, Chen Xi would not sit idly by.

But his father's calculations were obviously wrong. As a reborn person, Chen Xi knew better than anyone whether he could take over the company in the future.

He said he knew it, but in fact he didn't take it to heart.

Because he knew that Xiao Hu did not stay in his father's company, nor did he choose to go to his mother's side, but instead went out to start his own business.

Human desires are endless, and everyone wants to be his own boss.

Xiao Hu has the skills and has been exposed to business in the Middle East, so naturally he wants to find a partner to start a company and make money faster.

The reason why Chen Xi’s father was unable to retain talent might be because he was too harsh on his employees and did not know how to provide better treatment.

This may be a common characteristic of every capitalist.

"I explained so much, but you only understood one sentence. I don't know how much you just listened to. All you can think about is the game."

Chen Xi felt very speechless. His father's words were always so sharp. Even though he remained silent and did not say anything back, he was still scolded.

"Are you in love?"

"No."

"Well, from childhood to adulthood, I'm not very satisfied with you in every aspect, but I do appreciate your attitude of not falling in love. Don't waste your energy on meaningless things. It's never too late for a man to get married, no matter how old he is."

"understood."

Chen Xi replied calmly.

"Learn more from Shanshan, her grades are so good..."

"Uncle, please stop praising me. Haha, I feel embarrassed."

Shanshan said she was sorry, but her expression revealed pride and joy.

Every girl likes to hear others' praise. Chen Xi had been scolded just now, but she was covering her mouth and laughing secretly, which made Chen Xi very angry.

This girl Shanshan doesn’t even know how to say a few words to divert the other party’s attention. She is really not a good teammate!
