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

Chapter 521: Desire for Money
"It's boring. What's fun about games?" Jin Nana doesn't play games very often and doesn't quite understand otakus like Dongdong and Xiaoming.

"Okay, let's go to Boxhill. I have to go somewhere else later." Chen Xi put down his knife and fork and said.

Boxhill, Beyond Internet Cafe.

"For today's League of Legends Cosplay, the first place winner will receive 3,000 Australian dollars, the second place winner will receive 2,000 Australian dollars, and the third place winner will receive 100 Australian dollars in internet fees..." Wang Li announced the details loudly at the door, while Po and Monkey stood on both sides like door gods.

"We must get first place this time. I will get 2,000 and you will get 1,000." Li Yuqing said to Shi Tao while standing in the crowd.

"Why? I paid for these custom-made clothes, and you still want to take the lion's share? I raised you with my stepmother? No, we must each pay fifteen hundred." Shi Tao was very unconvinced and insisted on splitting the bill with Li Yuqing 50-50.

"You only spent a little money, but this dress costs 500 yuan? Do you think I'm a fool? I worked hard throughout the whole show."

"I was the one who brought you here. I was also responsible for the introduction."

"The owner of the Internet cafe is Chen Xi. What's my relationship with him? What's your relationship with him? It's ridiculous."

"You have nothing to do with him. We are classmates. It's the same as if you are his girlfriend."

"Just because it's not the case now doesn't mean it won't be the case in the future. How can you talk to the future boss lady like that?" Li Yuqing was wearing an Ashe outfit today with a bow hanging on her back, posing as an archer.

Last time Shi Tao asked Li Yuqing to play Teemo, she was very angry.

This time, she changed into a handsome outfit, which made Li Yuqing willing to come. After hearing that the grand prize was 3,000 yuan, she almost jumped for joy.

Li Yuqing looked around, and in her eyes, all the girls around her were ugly. She complained in her heart and hated herself for not being able to clone herself.

In that case, the top three places would be taken by her alone, and she could get the eight thousand yuan easily.

Before the game started, Li Yuqing asked Shi Tao to buy some water and an umbrella. She didn't want her delicate skin to be tanned by the scorching sun.

"Wow, the Internet cafe is so lively." Chen Xi entered from the back and went straight to the front desk.

"Haha, we organized a small competition to warm up for the upcoming League of Legends competition. We originally wanted to invite a few classmates, but they were afraid of making a fool of themselves." Wang Li smiled and pointed to a few costumes on the side.

"How do you top up now? League of Legends is out, so online top-up is not possible." Chen Xi thought about it. When League of Legends first came out, it did not support online top-up. He had to go to supermarkets or game stores to buy a stored-value card and enter the key to get game points.

"I found a channel to buy goods at a low price. Although I can't make as much as I can by recharging online games at the exchange rate, the good thing is that the quantity is large and stable!"

"Well, good job." Chen Xi nodded. Now, game recharges and Apple Store recharges are all purchased at supermarkets. Game stores also have their own channels. In fact, many of the official products on the shelves are mixed with private work.

However, those channels are also released by the official. After all, many companies have people who want to make some extra money.

"Hey, why do I see you everywhere?" At the door, Jin Nana, who followed Chen Xilai to Boxhill, originally wanted to go to the dessert shop, but unexpectedly ran into Li Yuqing.

"Why are you here? This is Chinese territory." Li Yuqing puffed out her chest. This is Boxhill, where Chinese people gather. She is not afraid of this Korean.

"Don't push. You're just two fried eggs. No matter how hard you try, it's just that. This Internet cafe is owned by my boyfriend. Isn't it normal for me to come here?"

"Are your breasts big? Haha, you dare to laugh at me with your steamed buns. Wait, boyfriend? Isn't this Internet cafe owned by Chen Xi?" Li Yuqing first looked at Jin Nana's breasts, which were about the same size as hers, and then laughed like a silver bell. But soon she couldn't laugh anymore, and she widened her eyes and pointed at Jin Nana and asked.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Chen Xi is my boyfriend, haven't you known that for a long time?" Jin Nana looked at Li Yuqing with some confusion. According to her memory, the other party should know that they were in a relationship.

"How could you be Chen Xi's girlfriend? Where is Saori? Did Chen Xi break up?" Li Yuqing's face was gloomy.

"What the hell are you talking about? What does this have to do with Saori? You bullied Saori in Crown last time, and you haven't learned your lesson yet. Now you want to cause trouble again..."

"Okay, let's begin the competition. This time, your photos will be posted on the homepage of Beyond Internet Cafe, and then all members of Beyond Internet Cafe will vote..." At this time, Wang Li began to urge everyone to get ready.

"Oh, my Mane is here, I won't talk to you anymore. I think you should learn Chinese well. You can't even understand what I say. A Korean comes here to pretend to be Chinese. It's like putting a green onion in a pig's nose, pretending to be an elephant!" Li Yuqing ignored Jin Nana and ran into the Internet cafe in a hurry.

"She's crazy. This woman is so crazy that I don't know why Didi University would accept her..." Jin Nana shook her head, glanced at Chen Xi who was still busy in the Internet cafe, and walked towards her dessert shop.

Afternoon, ANZ Bank.

"Given the current attitude of the Australian government towards Chinese business, I suggest you change your career as soon as possible. You have made a lot of money in real estate anyway, and withdrawing now can greatly reduce the risk. We are old friends, so I am saying these words." Smith said slowly while sitting in a chair.

"There is no official document yet prohibiting Chinese people from taking out loans to buy land, so I can still continue to get loans by mortgaging the land." Chen Xi replied calmly while drinking coffee.

"That's true, but the bank has already held an internal meeting to explain the situation, and we must also actively respond to the call from above."

"Haha, I thought this was a special feature of our place, but it turns out it also exists in Australia."

"This is also to reduce the bank's risk. After all, once the news comes out, it's hard to say what the housing prices will be like in the future. If the other party can't repay the loan and the land rots in our hands, we will lose money."

"Before the documents come out, let me borrow more. Similarly, you can also make a lot of money. If you want me to change my career now, ANZ will not be so attractive to me. After all, there are many banks that can choose loans for other businesses. I am very familiar with Gregory of Westpac and Amos of NAB..." Chen Xi saw that Smith was a little unreasonable and deliberately warned him.

"Ah, are you familiar with Gregory and Amos? I'd like to introduce them to you when I get a chance." Smith sat up in surprise when he heard that, and his previous slow movements like a sloth disappeared.

These two people are senior executives of other banks, and the backers behind them are much more powerful than his.

Smith, who has climbed to this position through his own strength, is actually not in a very good situation because he lacks a strong backer.

In the financial field, he seems to be in a good position, but in fact, he is facing many crises and his position may be removed from him if he is not careful.

If he could get to know these two, he might be able to climb higher in the bank.

"It's okay, I get together with them often..." Chen Xi didn't say much.

However, it is these words that do not reveal much that make people think more.

"Well, Xi, we are old friends and have been cooperating for so many years. I can sit in this position thanks to your help. I have always been grateful for your kindness. Although the bank has held a meeting, it was for ordinary customers. High-quality large customers like you will not bring any risks to the bank at all..." Smith changed his attitude, as if he was treating his own father.

This scene reminded Chen Xi of the first time he met Smith.

Alas, when you are useful, people around you will constantly curry favor with you.

Chen Xi sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He continued to talk to Smith about the bank loan in an orderly manner.

On the park lawn next to Beyond Internet Cafe.

"You bunch of ugly guys come here to compete with me for the first place. You really have no self-awareness. By the way, I didn't expect your photography skills are quite good. This is much better than the one I took when I first met you." Li Yuqing sat on the chair and drank the drink handed to her by Shi Tao.

"You seem a little different today." Shi Tao stared at Li Yuqing up and down.

"Of course it's different, I dressed up nicely." "That's not what I'm talking about."

"what is that?"

"You didn't even ask Chen Xi for help. This is not like you."

"Go to hell! With my looks, compared to those ugly freaks, do I need to go through the back door?"

Li Yuqing stood up and kicked at Shi Tao, but the opponent dodged it flexibly. She felt unsatisfied again, so she picked up the bow and threw it at him.

"Why are you so interested in money?" Shi Tao couldn't understand Li Yuqing's desire for money.

"Nonsense, who wouldn't be interested in money? The purpose of making money is, of course, to live a good life." Li Yuqing waved her hands, thinking that this question was quite stupid.

"So what do you plan to do after you graduate?"

"I don't know. Other families have made arrangements. My family..." Li Yuqing thought about how her parents usually didn't care about her. Her mother just stayed in the chess and card room with a group of old ladies every day, and her father was busy with lawsuits and having a mistress every day. She seemed like an unnecessary person in the family.

"What about you? Why do you keep asking me?" Li Yuqing never talks about her parents with others because she feels ashamed.

"Me? My aunt asked me to stay here to inherit her accounting firm, and then she would go to find her son in the United States. But I think it's too boring here, and I want to go back home." Shi Tao scratched his head. He didn't really have much plan for the future. He just wanted to play games and pick up girls.

"Are you stupid? A mountain of gold fell from the sky and you kicked it away." Li Yuqing slapped his forehead, looking defeated.

If it were a normal person, he would definitely choose to stay here and inherit his aunt's business. Besides, Shi Tao's family conditions were average, and his parents had been laid off. Although he had a house and savings in Jiangcheng, he was still a long way from being rich.

"This is what I don't understand. Why do you need so much money? Sometimes I am too lazy to pick up the money thrown at my feet..." Shi Tao was a little confused. He and Li Yuqing had similar family conditions, but neither of them had that kind of desire for money.

As long as he can have food to eat and not starve to death, he won't be so active in making money.

"I don't know either." Li Yuqing shook her head. She felt that she and Shi Tao might not be the same kind of people.

She thought for a moment and then spoke again: "You see, Chen Xi is different from others. His family is rich, but he is still working like crazy to make money. Some people choose to lie down and rely on their parents. This may be a different attitude towards the pursuit of certain things. This involves the core issues of human free will and existentialism..."

"You zebra... when did you become a philosopher?"

"Fuck you, you treat me tonight. I'm starving after posing for so long." Li Yuqing picked up the bow on the ground, chased Shi Tao on the grass for a long time, and finally sat on the ground panting.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shi Tao reached out and pulled Li Yuqing up from the ground. Although the two of them were constantly arguing, they were full of relaxation and playfulness, and walked towards the hotel together.

This scene may be an ordinary yet heartwarming episode in the lives of international students in Turkey and Australia.

However, as time goes by, when they return home one day in the future, each carrying their dreams and memories, even if they are in the same city, they may gradually become alienated due to the busy pace of life. The laughter and joy they once had may only become precious memories that they can never forget deep in their hearts.

In the evening, Chen Xi stared at the delicious food in front of him in a daze, while Dongdong was eating with relish at the table.

"What are you thinking about? Is there something that prevents you from going out of town?" Shen Xinyi asked softly.

"No, I chatted with people in the bank all afternoon and I'm a little tired." Chen Xi waved his hand. In fact, he was thinking about Jin Nana.

To be honest, he was still a little worried.

"Hehe." Dongdong glanced at him while eating, with a silly smile on his face.

"Big idiot, look at how you're laughing. You've even sprayed the food onto the table." Zhang Ruoxi glared at Dongdong in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, sorry Ruoxi, I'll pick it up and eat it right away."

"Haha, you're really funny. You're not that frugal."

"This is what you worked so hard to make for me, Ruoxi. I can't waste it."

"When did you become so talkative? Have you been chatting with other girls a lot recently?"

"No...no." Dongdong was seen through by Zhang Ruoxi and quickly lowered his head to hide his guilty look.

"I've asked people from the Chamber of Commerce to help communicate with the clients in Wenou, so you don't have to worry about that." Chen Xi thought about it and told Shen Xinyi about his meeting with Zhong Lili.

"Yes. We need to reduce losses now. The projects here are different from those in China. There are differences in the procedures for shipping and importing goods. Sometimes the foreigners like to follow the formal procedures."

"clear."

Chen Xi nodded.

"Hey, hey, this is a dinner table, not a business place. Two big bosses, can we talk about something relaxing and enjoyable?" Zhang Ruoxi interrupted at this time.

"What are you talking about? The stars in your TV dramas? Or that Su?" Shen Xinyi rolled her eyes at her.

"I'm telling you, I'm never going to be a fan again in my life. It's just asking for trouble. I thought if I was injured, my idol would come to help me up, or carry me to the hospital like a princess, and then we'd have a beautiful encounter. But what was waiting for me was a Coke bottle and the bodyguard's iron fist. I'm so pissed!" Zhang Ruoxi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. The perfect image of Su in her mind was gone.

Ha ha.

Dong Dong looked at Zhang Ruoxi who was complaining in front of him with a sly look. He had no opinion towards Su at all. Instead, he wanted to thank her.

If it weren't for this incident, he and Zhang Ruoxi would not have been able to get closer.

"Jie Lun actually comes to Mo Village again. It seems that he really likes it here." Chen Xi sighed.

"Of course not. Many celebrities come here every year. However, he left quietly this time. I heard that he went back to Wanwan. It's a pity that he didn't get his autograph." Zhang Ruoxi said regretfully.

The other three people at the table all covered their mouths and laughed at the same time. This woman had just said that she would no longer be a fan, but now she was sighing again.

Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi were going to leave tomorrow. Sitting in the car on the way home, he was very hesitant, not knowing how to tell Jin Nana. Would she think he was looking for an excuse to leave home? If he upset her again, that would be bad.

"What kind of story should I make up? Or should I tell the truth?"

He muttered to himself, holding the steering wheel.
