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

Chapter 177: Eric is Furious
"Why don't you say anything? Am I not good to you? I may have had a bad temper before, but I'm trying to change it." Li Yuqing said pitifully while chewing rice.

"I have a girlfriend." Chen Xi didn't want to explain more to her.

"I can do everything that Saori can do. If I'm better than Saori, will you break up with me... No, I'm asking if I can be your girlfriend after you break up with Saori." Chen Xi stared at what she heard. Seeing that the other party's face suddenly turned gloomy, she knew she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her wording.

"It will be ready soon! Come and eat, everyone is waiting." Chen Xi greeted the guests as they arrived, then turned around and urged Li Yuqing to come.

"Can't you cook it better? No customers have come for half a day." At the stall next to him, Eric saw that Chen Xi's business was so good, and said to Ah San with displeasure in his heart, and pointed to the yellowish food in the pot.

"We sell food and seasonings, and it's past dinner time. Why don't you do it? You're lazy and yet you're complaining." Ah San got angry and threw away the spatula in his hand. He ran to the chair, crossed his legs, and made a strike gesture. Eric was so angry that he almost poured the pot of food on his head.

"Li Yuqing pissed me off, and now you, a damn Asan, are here to piss me off too." Eric was fuming at this point, but the task still needed to be completed, so he poured out the pot of curry and started cooking by himself.

It was already afternoon, and the number of people in the market had at least doubled. Chen Xi and Li Yuqing were busy as ever. Li Yuqing was so happy that she was about to fly as she watched the money in her bag increase.

There was also a foreigner who spent a hundred dollars on the ring toss game. Although he didn't catch anything, he got a spittoon as a consolation prize.

He was originally very angry, but he held the spittoon and looked at it again and again. He simply couldn't let it go. Finally, he left in a leisurely manner amid the envious gazes of others.

At this time, in the hustle and bustle of Victoria Market, several teachers wearing sunglasses, hats and masks were moving between the stalls, observing and communicating with each other.

Some students behaved very rigidly. They just sold the goods step by step and did not know how to attract customers, which made the teachers shake their heads.

However, when the teachers came to Chen Xi's booth, they showed interesting expressions on their faces. Several people stood there, carefully looking at Chen Xi's booth and talking to each other.

"what is this?"

"It looks like an amusement park, but it should be very profitable. Look at that girl who keeps putting money into her bag."

"This makes money much faster than other students' stalls, and I think even when the stalls close, there will probably be a lot of these goods left."

"It seems to be some kind of street game in China. I've seen it when I went to China before." A teacher who had traveled to China said, stroking his chin as he recalled.

"Street games? That would be perfect for a place like this."

"However, this model is easy to imitate. Fortunately, no one here has seen this kind of game. Plus, we are waiving the booth fee this time, so we can make money." The teacher who had seen the ring tossing game before expressed his opinion again.

When he was in China before, he saw many people setting up stalls like this. With more competitors, the competition is fierce, so naturally they can't make much money. He believes that the fiercely competitive market environment is very unfavorable for small-scale stall owners.

"Look, the stall owners nearby have come over to watch. From today onwards, there will probably be many people setting up stalls here to play ring tossing." A female teacher from Monash said, hugging her shoulders.

"Which school is this from?" asked the teacher from Swinburne University.

"We are from Didi University, haha." Chen Xi's teacher said with a smile on his face, as if Chen Xi's outstanding performance made him feel proud.

"It's almost time to close the stall. All items are half price. Change the billboards. Put your loud voice to use!" Chen Xi said, looking at the time.

"Who has a loud voice? I am a very ladylike person." Li Yuqing pinched her throat and spoke in a clipped voice.

Chen Xi couldn't stand the sound of the clip the most. He got goose bumps all over his body when he heard it. He quickly chose to ignore the other party and began to busy himself to put all the remaining things on the table, hoping to sell them out as soon as possible and not wanting to leave any items behind.

"Half price?"

"Limited time sale?"

When they heard that the half-price discount was only valid until 4:00 p.m., people rushed to the stall and surrounded it. The foreigners were excited to choose the products they liked. The rush to buy made the teachers in the distance stunned and unbelievable.

After more than ten minutes, all the goods on the stall had been sold out.

Chen Xi secretly sighed, it’s so easy to make money from foreigners!
It is no wonder that so many Chinese people like to open grocery stores. The items are relatively affordable to begin with, and with limited-time discounts, they become even easier to sell.

"The total money in the bag is 3725 yuan, and the estimated value on the paper is 1213 yuan, so it has been transferred a total of 2512 yuan. That means each person gets 1256 yuan." Li Yuqing sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking like a money-grubber, and carefully counted the money in the bag.

Chen Xi sat on a chair with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt a pair of small hands on his shoulders. A sense of comfort came over him, and he opened his eyes involuntarily.

As a result, he saw Li Yuqing massaging him. Chen Xi was stunned and looked at her in confusion, wondering what this woman was up to.

Eric, who was standing next to him, had already started packing up his stall. When he saw this explosive scene, he was so furious.

He had just replaced Ah San and started cooking himself, but his cooking skills were so poor that the food was inedible and he didn't even get a single customer.

Li Yuqing gave Eric a provocative look.

She had two purposes for giving Chen Xi a massage. One was to launch a new gentle offensive so as to take advantage of the opportunity to steal Saori's girlfriend. The other was to deliberately anger Eric and warn him not to do anything excessive. She wanted him to know that she was not easy to bully. With Chen Xi as her backer, she was not afraid of anything.

Stinky bitch!
"Bang!"

Eric angrily threw the metal pot into the box.

"Okay, stop massaging." Chen Xi stood up and interrupted her massage. Li Yuqing's abnormal behavior made him feel uneasy.

"I'm not tired." "Your hands are too cold. They're freezing me."

"you……"

Li Yuqing almost got angry at his words, but when she thought that she should take the gentle approach and learn from Saori, she immediately shut her mouth.

Although the teacher stipulated that the activity should end at four o'clock in the afternoon, due to a series of things such as closing the stalls and returning the tables and chairs, we actually didn't gather until after five o'clock.

"Okay, now let's count the amount and items. I'll post the requirements for the paper online, and you can check them out yourself when the time comes."

In Australia, students' grades are usually not made public. This is mainly based on three considerations: first, protecting students' personal privacy is very important; second, not making grades public can avoid unnecessary comparisons among students; finally, this is also to avoid undermining the self-esteem of students with unsatisfactory grades.

Therefore, in this event, although the specific amount of income for each person was unclear, Chen Xi and Li Yuqing had already happily put the extra money into their wallets.

"Chen Xi, you are awesome! It's almost time for dinner, I'll treat you. There's a new movie released right now, I really want to see it, but there's no one to accompany me..." Li Yuqing hugged his arm and invited him warmly.

"No... I have an appointment tonight." Chen Xi waved his hand and refused.

"Is it Saori?" Li Yuqing's face changed.

"a friend."

"Is it a woman?"

"..." Li Yuqing kept asking him questions, leaving him speechless.

"Buzz~" Li Yuqing's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and she hurriedly opened it to check.

Before long, her face turned ugly, and then her anger became apparent. Chen Xi noticed her mood change, and although he was a little curious, he did not take the initiative to ask.

"Well, I'll go first! I have an appointment!" Chen Xi waved at Li Yuqing, who was still looking down at her phone, like a wooden man, and didn't notice any of this at all.

The text message was sent by Li Yuqing's mother, and the content revealed that Li Yuqing's father had found a young girl outside and spent a lot of money on her.

The words were full of complaints, saying that because Li Yuqing's father had someone else outside, the living expenses for Li Yuqing had always been very small. This made Li Yuqing very angry. When she asked her father for money before, he not only refused but also scolded her. Now she finally understood the reason, it turned out that her father had a mistress outside.

After reading the message, Li Yuqing looked up, only to find that Chen Xi had left without her knowing when. This made her so angry that she stamped her feet.

"Snapped!"

"Woo~"

She punched the armrest hard, and the pain almost made her cry. Her white and tender hands turned red, and she couldn't help but moan softly.

Chen Xi was walking towards the parking lot. He had an appointment with A-Lin in the evening because A-Lin said he had a document to sign. Recently, A-Lin was very busy with the cram school work.

"Hello, ah? When will you come? Oh, okay." As soon as Chen Xi got in the car, he received a call from Alin.

A Lin said on the phone that he hadn't finished his work yet and it would take some time for him to get back, so he asked Chen Xi to wait for a moment.

This sudden news made him extremely depressed.

It was already dinner time, and Chen Xi found a parking lot nearby according to the address given by Alin.

Strolling along the street, he planned to find a restaurant that looked pleasing to the eye to solve the dinner problem.

By this time, it was already dark and a cold wind was howling through the streets.

Standing on Little Bourke Street, you can see the Chinatown archway above your head and a variety of restaurants on both sides.

"Let's go to this one." He looked at the restaurant on the right and walked over decisively. This is 'Jade Kitchen'. The food is not bad, but the price of lobster is higher than other restaurants. I ordered a mini lobster before, but it cost more than 400 Australian dollars, and it was eaten in a few bites. The cost performance is really low.

A sweet-looking girl was standing at the door, wearing Hanfu and shivering in the cold wind.

Seeing a customer coming, she immediately tried to force a smile and handed over the menu.

Chen Xi waved his hand in a friendly manner, indicating that he didn't need to look at the menu, and then strode into the restaurant.

The moment I pushed open the glass door, a warm breath hit me in the face, as if I had instantly traveled to a completely new space.

The girl at the door watched him leave with envy, then blew two breaths of hot air on her hands and continued to stand guard at her post, waiting for the next diner to arrive.

I walked up the stairs to the second floor. The lighting there was soft and bright. Looking around, I saw that there were not many guests.

Soon, his eyes locked on a familiar figure—Lao Wang.
