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

Chapter 200: The Son of the Richest Man in Xinlu
After finishing his meal, Chen Xi began to walk around the house and finally found traces of his father's residence in the study.

The open sofa bed clearly indicated that my father had slept here before.

Why don’t you sleep here when there are so many rooms?
I walked to the bookshelf and looked at the books on it.

Most of the books are about calligraphy, painting, decoration design and other fields.

In addition, there are several business magazines that have photos of my father on their covers, with honors such as "Outstanding Entrepreneur of China."

These magazines were things my father liked to show off, and he often kept a few in the car so that he could show off his achievements to others at any time.

"Yuezhou Qingfeng Gallery! Ha, so this is it." He found a piece of paper in a book of paintings.

In his previous life, he knew that his father opened a gallery and an auction house in Yuezhou. He knew the auction house because it was famous, but he had no idea where the gallery was.

Now the paper not only has a map of the gallery, but also a detailed address, so you can go for a stroll when you have time.

"Malaysia Development Plan...haha, this is what I thought, but this plan failed." Chen Xi looked at a plan in his hand.

His father also planned to bring the equipment to Malaysia and rent it out to users through a financial leasing company, but this plan was terminated in his previous life, and he did not ask about the specific reasons.

In 2006, this business did face many challenges.

Chen Xi originally considered starting a similar business in Australia, but found that the market in Australia might not be suitable.

There are few graphic arts shops there, and most companies have their own printing equipment. Moreover, the efficiency of Australia's work is extremely low, so people don't seem to mind making a few more trips.

In such a market environment, all we can do is introduce equipment such as cutting plotters and engraving machines and provide limited services.

"Why is there no information about Germany? Don't you dare keep it at home? Yes, all the things have been transferred abroad." Chen Xi searched for a long time but didn't find any information. He leaned back in his boss chair and stared at the ceiling.

It seems that I can only find something useful by going to factories and companies.

When he thought about his previous life, he became very angry at the security guard he met when he went to the factory. He didn't even recognize him and left him outside the gate for a long time.

They said he was new and responsible at work, but he didn't seem like that, so he sat in the guard room playing computer cards. Later, they called his father before letting him in.

Find a day to go and check it out when my father is not around. I know all the factory managers anyway. My grandfather was once the temporary factory manager.

"Drip!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"I'm back. I'll come out tomorrow!"

A male voice with a unique voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Chen Xi's childhood friend Ji Qingchuan, one of the future big names in China's dubbing industry.

"What? Shanshan hasn't come back yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm dating you, it's none of other people's business. Besides, didn't you go to Australia to study just to find Shanshan? Everyone knows that you like her."

"Oh, I'm so anxious! I don't know who likes her, hehe."

Chen Xi smiled, holding the phone, and then lay down on the sofa bed.

"When will Shanshan come back?" Ji Qingchuan's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I don't know. I didn't ask. Maybe I won't come back this year."

"Fuck, let's go play. I'll call Lu Tao and Zhang Qiming."

"As you wish."

"Well, the eldest master still looks dead. I've made all the arrangements. I'm going to bed."

"You act like a 60-year-old man every day, and it's only what time."

Before Chen Xi could finish his words, the other party hung up the phone.

Ji Qingchuan has always looked mature since he was a child. His actions and words are in line with Chen's father's expectations, so Chen's father has always asked Chen Xi to learn from him.

However, Ji Qingchuan only behaves like that in front of outsiders. In private, he is no different from a young man.

Ji Qingchuan and Zhang Qiming have liked Zhao Lingshan since childhood, and the three of them even fought over Zhao Lingshan.

When they were in elementary school, Zhang Qiming kept pestering Zhao Lingshan, so Chen Xi and Ji Qingchuan went up to fight with Zhang Qiming. As a result, Zhang Qiming was outnumbered with his two fists, but he chose to fight back with his mouth and actually bit Ji Qingchuan's face, leaving a deep tooth mark.

However, it was this fight that made them get to know each other and eventually become friends.

Later, Ji Qingchuan was naturally defeated by Zhao Lingshan. With Zhao Lingshan's spoiled temper, Ji Qingchuan was criticized so badly that she did not take any further action for a long time.

Zhang Qiming was the same, he could only keep it in his heart.

However, they both regarded Chen Xi as their love rival, because Zhao Lingshan had been around Chen Xi since childhood, which led to the two of them often teasing him in a sarcastic manner.

I kept in touch with Ji Qingchuan until later, but I lost contact with Zhang Qiming after he returned to China. I don’t know what happened to this guy. I only heard that he got married and became depressed after marriage.

Lu Tao was also his elementary school classmate. Later, he went to Wulin City to develop and became a programmer, focusing on mobile game development. He successfully developed a mobile game based on the Three Kingdoms that was very popular in his previous life.

Think about how his friends are doing okay now, but he, who originally had the most hope, is getting worse day by day.

The next day, eleven o'clock in the morning.

"Mom, I'm going out to look for Ji Qingchuan and the others, so I won't be home for lunch."

"Well, go ahead. You should spend more time with your friends when you return home."

My mother was taking care of her flowers in the garden attentively. When she heard Chen Xi's words, she didn't pay too much attention. She just nodded slightly and responded absentmindedly a few times.

He walked to the garage and found a G55 parked inside. His father loved collecting Mercedes-Benz cars and owned many different models. He even bought a large villa to store these precious vehicles.

He remembered that the G55 would not enter the Chinese market until next year, and he didn't know where his father got the car from.

It used to be said that bad men drove G-Class and bad women drove Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Now he felt that he was on the edge of becoming a bad man.

Having found the car keys in the study before, he started the car decisively.

"This interior is so tacky." The interior of the G-Class at this time was really shabby, not even as good as the interior of his CLS, yet it was still so expensive.

The place where he, Ji Qingchuan and others had agreed to meet was the pedestrian street in the city center, which took about thirty to forty minutes to drive there.

"Buzz!" After stepping on the accelerator, the powerful G55 quickly drove out of the villa area. When leaving, the security guard saluted him respectfully.

As the vehicle moved forward, he stared at the buildings outside the window, feeling a complex emotion well up in his heart.

The Xinlu city in 2006 was in stark contrast to what he remembered.

Today's cities are dilapidated and backward everywhere.

Most of the buildings along the street are old, with mottled walls, revealing the traces of time.

The streets are narrow and crowded, the road conditions are poor, and potholes and broken roads can often be seen.

The city of Xinlu is really shabby now.

The city's development seems to have stagnated, out of step with the pace of modernization.

In a few years, Xinlu City will usher in a golden period of rapid development and become one of the fastest-growing cities in China. It will even stand out on the global stage and win wide recognition.

With the booming development of the city, housing prices have soared, eventually surpassing many surrounding major cities. The price per square meter is as high as 6 to 8 yuan, approaching the housing price level of Shanghai.

In contrast, Jiangcheng, where Li Yuqing lives, seems to have fallen into a stagnant state, and the housing prices have not even surpassed Xinlu.

At present, China's focus is mainly on the development of coastal cities, and Xinlu, as an area close to coastal cities, is naturally also included in the ranks of rapid development.

This strategic decision will further promote the prosperity and progress of Xinlu City, making it shine even brighter in its future development.

At this time, the G-Class driven by Chen Xi was particularly eye-catching on the road.

Most of the vehicles on the road are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. In comparison, this G-Class worth millions has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many men.

However, women shrug it off.

At that time, there were no social media platforms such as Tik Tok, and most women only knew brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and were not familiar with models like the G-Class.

Therefore, in their opinion, the appearance of this car is not outstanding, and naturally they will not think it is very expensive.

"Beep!"

"You idiot! When did you come back?"

Chen Xi rolled down the car window, and a man's voice rang out from a red Ferrari next to him.

This is his junior high school classmate, Zheng Xin, who comes from a prominent family and is the son of the richest man in Xinlu.

Recalling the days at Huaguang School, our beds were right next to each other.

At that time, this guy was quite low-key. No one knew that his family was the richest and they often beat him.

It wasn't until an epidemic broke out and the school was forced to close that his father drove the red Ferrari to school to bring him snacks, and everyone knew this guy's identity.

At that time, Chen Xi lived in the dormitory with Zheng Xin, the son of the richest man in another city, and the son of the Xinlu Education Bureau Director. The four of them often fought with each other.

"What are you doing? You just came back yesterday!" Chen Xi grinned.

"I'm going to the pedestrian street to have dinner, would you like to join me?" Zheng Xin invited.

"No, I have a date with my elementary school classmate."

"Fuck, let's eat together!"

"Next time, next time."

"Your uncle!"

Zheng Xin cursed and then stepped on the accelerator. The Ferrari instantly emitted a deafening roar and shot away like a streak of red aurora.

"Are you in a hurry to be reborn? Why are you driving so fast?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes.

I found a parking lot in the city center and parked the car.

"The parking fee is as expensive as in Australia." Chen Xi couldn't help but complain when looking at the parking lot's charging standards.

As a second-tier city, it was still 2006, and parking for an hour cost ten yuan. You should know that the parking fee in Shanghai is only ten yuan, and it is not common.

Land on the pedestrian street is very expensive and parking fees are outrageously high.

"We agreed to meet at 5 o'clock, and you are minutes late." Ji Qingchuan said unhappily as he entered the restaurant.

Ji Qingchuan's round body, with some white hair, looks a little more mature than his peers. In a public institution, he is a leader anyway.

This guy is very hypocritical. He always checks the time. He complains when others are a few minutes late, but never mentions when he is half an hour late.
