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

The next day, Chen Xi opened his eyes and the room was dark.

Looking at Jin Nana who was sleeping beside him, he sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking at his phone.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"How was my technique yesterday?"

"You almost broke me. Are you... or are you hitting a wooden stake?"

"I've already told you that, but you don't want to do it. I can only use other methods to test it. But you don't seem to have any problems..."

As they talked, both of them blushed.

Although they had slept in the same bed before, they had never had that kind of contact. Yesterday, Jin Nana actually drove a manual car on him. Due to technical problems, Chen Xi felt that the experience was very bad. In the end, it was only under his guidance that Jin Nana was able to fully master how to shift gears.

"You stay in the hotel today. I have to go to the company to do some work."

"Can I go with you?"

"No."

"Oh, when will you come back?"

"I don't know... Never mind, you should just come with me."

Afraid that Jin Nana would disappear again, Chen Xi, for safety's sake, could not let her out of his sight.

"Yeah! I knew you still love me. I originally thought that the sticky sago was a bit disgusting, but after seeing it in person, I felt it was not so bad." Jin Nana kissed him on the face.

"Fuck, I really admire you. Where did you learn this? Don't you have a boyfriend?... Hey, hurry up and wash up. I'll take you to buy some clothes. The winter here is damp and cold, and your clothes can't withstand it." Chen Xi jumped out of bed first and started brushing his teeth.

Something is wrong. Why didn't he take the next step with me yesterday?

It seems that he is not physically ill, but has psychological problems.

Should I take Chen Xi to see a psychiatrist?
Jin Nana thought back to what happened last night and began to imagine various situations.

Wanda Plaza was originally scheduled to open at the end of the year in the previous life, but now it has been opened nearly a year earlier.

Last night they stayed at the Westin Hotel in Wanda, just across the street from the shopping mall.

“Does this look good?”

"nice."

On the second floor of Wanda, Jin Nana was holding a thick khaki jacket in front of her and gesturing.

Chen Xi nodded woodenly. After what happened last night, Chen Xi didn't want to face her.

My girlfriend's best friend helped me...

Alas, although the other party is now in a state of semi-amnesia and regards him as her boyfriend, Chen Xi still couldn't resist the temptation in the end.

In a lingerie store, Chen Xi stared blankly at the bras of various colors around her, awkwardly covering her face with her hands and pretending to look at her phone.

Jin Nana's voice kept coming from the fitting room, asking questions like whether this one looks good, what style she likes, etc.

"Hey, Tongtong, there's a pervert holding a cell phone over there. Is he taking secret photos there?"

"What's wrong with you? You can't find the perverts in the company, but you can catch all the perverts outside."

Two girls stood at the door of the lingerie shop, pointing at Chen Xi inside.

Chen Xi's expression and actions at this time really made people misunderstand, and it was no wonder that these two people would make such guesses.

"Is there a pervert in the company? Why didn't I notice it?" asked one of the girls.

"I think the manager of the HR department is a pervert. I often see him looking at girls in the company with lustful eyes. I also heard that many female employees have been bullied by him in the past."

"No way, I think he's a nice guy. He even asked me out for dinner last time. It's normal for men to like looking at young and beautiful girls. It's better than the one who took the photos in the lingerie store."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and report."

The two girls, wearing professional attire and high heels, trotted towards the entrance.

At the entrance of the shopping mall, a young man got out of a Rolls-Royce.

Two girls were carrying things and hurried out of the door, and one of the shorter ones bumped into him.

"Why don't you look at the road when you walk?" The tall girl helped the short girl up, cursing at her.

"Sorry, sorry, we are in a hurry." The short girl stood up from the ground and kept apologizing to the other party.

"Bang." The man looked at the other person coldly and gave her a big wall-bang, which scared the short girl.

“Oh! Woman, don’t think that this will attract my attention. I tell you it’s impossible…” After the man said this, he withdrew his hand from the door and strode into the mall.

"Are you kidding me? This guy has such a good self-image. What's wrong with men nowadays? He just met a pervert and now he runs into a narcissist!" The tall girl and the short girl looked at each other and both rolled their eyes.

"Let's go, it's almost too late." The short girl looked at her watch, hurriedly pulled her friend and ran towards the destination.

"Hey, why do I feel something is wrong? This seems to be the first time we go shopping after dating for so long." After walking out of the lingerie store, Jin Nana tilted her head and thought for a long time.

In her memory, they had been dating for several years but they had never gone shopping. The only time her boyfriend gave her clothes was when she and Saori were at Crown.

"What's the big deal? Aren't you a wealthy woman? You usually buy things for yourself."

"That's different. What you gave me and what I bought are two different things."

"Okay, I'll take you to buy a down jacket, otherwise you won't be able to hold on after a while." Men don't like shopping. Chen Xi looked at the time and waved at the other party.

The first floor of the shopping mall.

"Hello, everyone. This is the opening of the first Wanda Plaza in Xinlu. We will gradually open branches in various districts. We plan to open six Wanda Plazas in Xinlu in the next five years! We have invited many celebrities today..." The host was giving a speech on the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Song. As a native of Xinlu, I'm very happy that Wanda Plaza can open a store here this time. I will sing my new album in this concert. One of the songs in the new album is written by me for my hometown..."

"Luzhou moonlight pear blossoms cool rain

Who are you beside now?
The moonlight of my hometown is deeply engraved in my heart

But I can’t shed the tears I shed back then…”

A relatively retro music came on and Xu Song began his singing.

His style was to imitate Jie Lun, but his pronunciation was clearer than hers. After the song ended, the next person to take the stage was the popular JJ. JJ had come to Xinlu many times to participate in commercial performances, and it was not the first time Chen Xi had seen him.

The last time I heard him sing in Xinlu was when a hotel opened.

Xu Song and JJ are from the same music company, so it is normal for them to appear at the same time.

"Big star, you have a new album out." After Xu Song stepped down from the stage, Chen Xi called him.

"Hey, are you at the scene?" Xu Song looked around and finally found the other party.

"Oh, you're doing pretty well. You even have bodyguards. If I don't call you, I can't get close to you." Chen Xi pointed at the security guard next to Xu Song with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. I have a lot of fans, so it's not very convenient to go out. This is... why are you..."

"Well, the situation is a bit complicated, don't mention the past..."

"I understand, I understand. Why would I mention my ex in front of your current one?"

Just as Xu Song was about to say that he had changed girls again, Chen Xi pulled him aside and the two began whispering.

"Get me some concert tickets."

"What? Do you want to support me? I'm a big star now, and I have no problem selling tickets for my concerts! I can get you tickets, but the tickets may be a bit limited. Are ten tickets enough for you? Bring your ten girlfriends to listen to my concert..." Xu Song boasted with a cocky look on his face, and then teased Chen Xilai.

"It's not enough. I need at least a few hundred."

"F*ck... do you still think I'm your sister? I only sell a few thousand tickets for a concert..."

"Come on, this is your first official concert, so you must have invited a lot of people to boost your popularity. You can't even make back the ticket money, and you still have to pay out of your own pocket. How about I buy your tickets and find some artist friends to perform for you?"

"Why do you need so many tickets?" Hearing this, Xu Song was a little tempted, but he still asked out of curiosity.

"Didn't you ask me to bring my girlfriend? I'll bring my hundreds of women with me then..."

"Damn you." Xu Song naturally didn't believe Chen Xi's joke, but he nodded and looked at Jin Nana again: "The one you had last time was from Sakura Country, and this time you changed to a Korean country. Which country will it be next time? Vietnam? Thailand? Be careful to find a transvestite."

"Go away, let me ask you something. What business is your father doing recently? I saw your father and Chen Shubao chatting happily in the last meeting." Chen Xi recalled the scene when he followed Zhou Wenbin to a meeting last time.

There are rumors online that Xu Song’s father is the director of a certain group, but in fact he is the boss of a certain company, whose business covers agriculture, hotels, etc.

Although Xu Song's family is not currently ranked very high in Xinlu, they have been rising rapidly and have become a well-known rich second-generation family.

"How would I know? I don't like doing business. Uncle Chen is in the food business. What else can the two of them talk about? It's nothing more than the issue of raw materials. By the way, I heard that your father is getting married. Why are you still interested in coming to my concert?" Xu Song didn't know much about business. He waved his hand and wanted to skip the topic.

At this time, Jin Nana was concentrating on listening to JJ's singing on the stage and didn't pay any attention to the conversation between the two men.

"It's none of my business if he gets married. I'm getting tickets to give benefits to the members of the association."

"Is that your Overseas Returnees Association? It seems to be very popular now. I've seen your association's logo in many places. It's a big cartoon turtle."

"Haha, isn't it so ugly?"

Chen Xi smiled awkwardly. That icon was designed by Lin Xi herself. It had no aesthetic appeal at all. To be more precise, it was a bit funny.

"Your association is quite interesting."

"What's interesting?"

“I heard that your association is now cooperating with Aba Aba.”

"That's what happened."

"E-commerce platforms have a large number of products, all of which need spokespersons. Your association actually came up with a group-finding endorsement project, putting a bunch of manufacturers together and matching them with different artists..."

Holy shit, I’ve heard about Pinshaoshao doing group buying of goods in my previous life, but this is also group buying endorsement?

Who can come up with this? He is truly a genius.

"Haha, I really don't know about this. I'll go back and ask around." Chen Xi was very embarrassed. As a vice president, he was not as well-informed as others.

"Oh, it seems that your association is not a monolithic entity." Seeing the other party's embarrassed look, Xu Song immediately understood.

"There's nothing we can do. It's just like a big company, not everyone is united." Chen Xi spread his hands helplessly.

"What's the name of this singer? He sings quite well. I didn't expect that your country has such an outstanding singer besides Jie Lun." Jin Nana said, pointing at JJ on the stage.

"He is a Singaporean..."

“I’m also a very good singer…”

The two men answered one after another.

"They are looking for a spokesperson, why don't you go?"

"I'm not short of money. The endorsement also depends on the quality of the product. If something goes wrong, my reputation will be ruined. The current contract is just a piece of waste paper. I don't know how many years it will take to fight the lawsuit." Xu Song spread his hands. Although he had never done business, he was aware of the complexity involved.

At present, any agreements and contracts with small companies are actually similar to gentleman's agreements. If a lawsuit is really brought, it will take several years to get a result.

For someone like Xu Song, who comes from a wealthy family, there is no need for him to accept cheap endorsements.

"You mean, those who cooperate with the Overseas Returnees Association are all small celebrities?"

"That's not true. No one would hire an unknown artist. Now it's popular to hire athletes as endorsements. Just a few years after the Olympics, all the singers in food advertisements were replaced by athletes. Old singers have to make money to eat, so they can only cooperate with these people..."

"That makes sense. It seems like now the endorsement fees of athlete champions are higher than those of singers because the value is different."

"Of course not. Nowadays, no matter how much people love music and sports, they still need to make money~hehe."

Just as the two were chatting, a young man came up from behind.

He looked at JJ who had just finished his performance and waved to the front.

"Now that you've graduated, are you coming back to take over?"

"Ha, what do you mean by taking over? I opened my own investment company." In response to JJ's inquiry, the young man laughed and waved his hands.

"Why don't you go to work when your family has an existing business and start your own company? Generally speaking, nine out of ten young people who start their own business fail."

"Failure is the mother of success. If you fail, just try again. Anyway, you have to do what you like. That's what makes your life meaningful, right?" The young man patted JJ's shoulder. They seemed to have a good relationship.

"There is a popular Young Returnees Association on the Internet now. You like surfing the Internet the most. Have you joined it?"

"Hey, I don't even want to join this kind of thing. I usually order others to do things. Even my father can't order me. Why should I be ordered by others? I don't want this shit. What Overseas Returnees Association? I don't care at all. I might as well set up an entertainment industry association to manage those artists. Artists nowadays have a lot of private affairs. I want to correct the trend."

"Hahaha, you are really imaginative. Let's go to the side and talk." JJ saw the fans rushing over and waved to the young man. The two of them walked towards the elevator surrounded by staff. (End of this chapter)
