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

Chapter 127: Meet the Working Girl Again
"Lao Zhang, you've been in Australia for so long, you must have made a lot of money."

Around half past five, Chen Xi sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at Lao Zhang who was driving, while Matthew sat quietly in the back seat without saying a word.

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Why are you still driving such a shabby car? This car must be quite old."

Chen Xi touched the yellowed interior of the car. Although the car had been carefully maintained, it still looked a bit old due to its age.

"This is the first car I bought after I made money, and I have an attachment to it." Lao Zhang's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the day when he just made money to buy a car.

"That's awesome. I didn't realize you were such a nostalgic person." Chen Xi gave him a thumbs up.

"Ah, you who went abroad late, how could you understand the hardships we went through back then? Life was hard back then. We often had people eating and drinking for free in our small restaurant. It was useless to call the police. In the end, I got angry and took out a kitchen knife, and only then did I get the money back..."

Old Zhang sighed and said.

"You look a lot like my friend. He's helping me manage the internet cafe. You two could spar with each other in swordplay if you get a chance!"

Chen Xi immediately thought of Wang Li. He and Lao Zhang were both good with knives.

"Behave well later."

Chen Xi turned and said to Matthew in the back row.

The other party nodded. Although he didn't say anything, it could be seen that he was still a little nervous.

After all, facing a bunch of balloon people every day won't help you develop any real courage.

But compared to the first time Chen Xi saw him, it was much better.

When we first met, he was just like a shy girl.

City Chinatown, the three came to a seemingly ordinary restaurant. Chen Xi recognized it as an old Chinese restaurant called Guoli Restaurant.

This store has average decoration, average taste, and average service attitude.

"Damn, I told you to find a better restaurant, and you chose this one?" Chen Xi looked at Lao Zhang with some dissatisfaction.

He felt that this store might not be suitable for doing business and it would be easy to mess things up.

"What's wrong with this store? It has been open for decades and is very famous." Old Zhang shrugged his nose in dissatisfaction.

"The dish is just so-so." Chen Xi opened his mouth. He actually wanted to say it was unpalatable because he had a rather picky taste.

"It's OK. I think it's not bad. The main thing is that I know the boss. Haha! I can bring him some customers and get a discount. Isn't this saving you money? And the people who will come later also know the boss. We were all friends before."

Old Zhang laughed happily.

"Okay, if we can't come to an agreement, I'll drag you to the kitchen and make you into barbecued pork!"

Chen Xi said jokingly.

"Hahaha! The barbecued pork in this restaurant tastes good." Lao Zhang chuckled, then looked at the receptionist at the door with a lustful look.

On this street, many restaurants have young and beautiful girls holding menus at the door to attract customers.

The girl at the door of Guoli Restaurant was wearing a plush coat, with one of her snow-white, slender legs exposed in the cold wind.

She wore a pair of brown boots on her feet and a knitted hat on her head, looking pure and cute.

The weather was cold and her shivering body looked particularly pitiful, but she had no choice since her boss asked her to dress like this.

Chen Xi looked at the girl carefully. She had a pretty face and looked somewhat familiar.

"Hello, nice to see you again. Do you work here?"

"Ah, it's you! What a coincidence!"

Chen Xi greeted her gently, and the girl immediately recognized him and responded enthusiastically.

When she smiled, her two sweet dimples seemed to be filled with sunshine, and against her cheeks that were red from the cold wind, she looked especially adorable.

"Let's go in." Lao Zhang put his arm around his neck and walked into the restaurant.

"Why, do you know that girl? She's pretty good-looking. But it's so cold and she's wearing so little. It's really pitiful. I have to talk to the boss and make him learn to be gentle with women!"

Lao Zhang waved his fists, looking like he was trying to stand up for justice.

"I see she works in several places. It must be very hard. You know the boss. Tell her about it!"

"Ouch, are you heartbroken?"

"Go, go, go. We've met several times. We're all Chinese. It's not easy to survive overseas. We should help each other." Chen Xi patted Lao Zhang's shoulder gently, signaling him to communicate with the boss later.

"Hey, Laoguo, you are so mean. You let a girl stand outside wearing so little. Look how cold she is. I feel so bad for her."

After entering the hotel lobby, Lao Zhang happily greeted a square-faced middle-aged man at the front desk, and then began to complain crazily.

"I think you are heartbroken. Everyone knows that you like to go to the club and care about the girls' life problems."

"Fuck, I was just worried that they would be lonely, so I went over to chat with them."

"Come on, who would be so serious as to chat on the bed?"

The two men were so engrossed in their conversation that they completely forgot about the existence of Chen Xi and Matthew.

"Okay, A-Lin is here."

The restaurant owner pointed to a table in the distance, where a man in a suit was sitting, concentrating on his cell phone.

Since his back was facing away from them, they couldn't see his face clearly.

"Okay, I'll have a crab and double the noodles!"

Old Zhang stretched out a scissors hand gesture in the air.

"I get it. It's so annoying!" The boss waved his hand and motioned them to go in. He then walked to the door of the restaurant and asked the girl to come in and rest for a while. It was really cold outside.

After the girl was called in by the boss, she sat on a small stool, took the cup of hot water handed to her by the boss, and said thank you with gratitude.

After drinking a sip of hot water, a warm current flowed into my stomach and my body seemed to feel better.

Her eyes turned to a table in the distance, where sat the boys she had met several times in a row.

He must have pleaded with the boss just now, otherwise how could the boss let her come in to avoid the cold?
"This is Alin, this is Chen Xi, and this...what's his name?" At the dinner table, Lao Zhang began to introduce them. When he introduced Matthew, he suddenly forgot his name and could only stare at Matthew awkwardly.

"Hello, my name is Matthew!" Matthew stood up and shook hands with Alin.

Chen Xi stared at the man in front of him who was about thirty or forty years old. His face was not covered with wrinkles like Lao Zhang's. Instead, he exuded a youthful and cynical temperament.

He wore this exquisite little suit with the top buttons of his shirt casually undone. With his clean pretty face, he looked like a gigolo in a nightclub.

Is this guy really a teacher?
It seems that Lao Zhang doesn’t look like a teacher, with a ponytail. Even if he is a teacher, he is an art teacher.

Chen Xi began to look back and forth between Lao Zhang and A Lin, comparing their images, then recalled the appearance of other teachers, and then shook his head slightly in his heart.

Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover!

The food was served very quickly, probably because the boss had already started preparing the dishes.

After a while, several dishes were served on the table one after another.

This Guoli Restaurant is a typical Cantonese restaurant, mainly providing Cantonese dishes such as roast meat and seafood.

A piece of steamed mangosteen with fermented black beans, a standard dish at Mocun Cantonese restaurant, was already placed in the center of the table.

"Come, eat, eat!"

Alin invited everyone to start eating, and they picked up their chopsticks to taste the food, without any of the awkwardness or politeness of a first meeting.

"Today's fish is delicious, let's all try it!"

Alin picked up a piece of tender fish and put it into his mouth. The wonderful taste experience made him squint his eyes in satisfaction.

Shit, the food here is obviously average, but this guy feels like he’s at a state banquet.

Chen Xi complained slightly in his heart, but still picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Today's dishes seemed to be better than those he prepared in his previous life, and he couldn't help but praise them.

"Hello, I'm a future teacher at the cram school. I heard you want to test my level..."

After taking a few bites of food, Matthew actually took the initiative to ask Alin.

Chen Xi felt speechless and thought, "How can we discuss serious matters at the dinner table?"

What's wrong with Matthew? He became bolder at the dinner table, as if he had become a different person.

Strange, strange!

"Eat first. You're really anxious, young man. Hahaha!"

Alin waved his hand, picked up another piece of roast duck, put it in his mouth with a smile, and signaled Matthew to talk later.

"Uh..." Matthew was speechless and stunned.

After a few seconds, at Chen Xi's signal, he could only focus on eating for the time being.

"Ah Lin, please take good care of my little brother..."

At the dinner table, Lao Zhang kept talking to A Lin, praising Chen Xi's abilities.

From time to time, Alin looked at the young man in front of him who was as fair and handsome as him, as if he was observing him carefully.

Chen Xi said nothing, but responded with a smile, while silently analyzing Alin in his heart.

This old guy hasn’t mentioned anything about the cram school yet!
Lao Zhang said before that he wanted to go to KTV to sing after dinner.

Chen Xi planned to give the old guy some wine first, then let him listen to some happy songs, and then they could talk about business.

"Do you understand RMIT's courses? Have you studied MKTG1100 Sales Management?"

However, things turned out to be beyond his expectations. Halfway through the meal, Alin seemed to be a little impatient with Lao Zhang's nagging, and he actually asked Matthew some questions.

"I've done some pre-study."

Matthew answered honestly, without any exaggeration or self-boasting in his tone.

“Will Monash’s BFF2140 Business Finance do it?”

"I know a little bit. I've just started looking at courses at other universities, and the courses I know are limited at the moment."

"Just give these two lessons casually first."

"OK……"

At Alin's request, Matthew began to give lectures.

What surprised Chen Xi was that Matthew's performance when lecturing was completely different from his usual conversations with people. He was no longer nervous and spoke fluently and freely.

Chen Xi clearly remembers the first time he listened to Matthew's lecture. At that time, Matthew spoke like a person with a stutter.

"Haha, the restaurant has turned into a classroom." Lao Zhang chuckled, then picked up a piece of kale and began to taste it.

Alin kept his head down while eating, and it was unclear whether he was listening to Matthew's explanation.

Matthew, however, was like a machine, stating the key points of the course one by one and adding his own opinions when appropriate.

This made Alin nod his head in agreement.

Chen Xi observed A Lin's reaction and found that he was very satisfied with Matthew's lecture.

I was secretly happy in my heart, knowing that half of the task was already successful.

You know, if you want to get good results in cram schools, having a good teacher in the early stages is key.

"Yeah, that's good. Master's course will do. Eat the food, or it will get cold."

Matthew was giving a lecture when Alin suddenly interrupted him and pointed at the food on the table.
