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

"Let's go in and talk." Chen Xi pointed inside the room.

"Saori, why are you here? What do you want to do?" Jin Nana put her hands on her hips and questioned her friend.

She had said before that Chen Xi had gone to meet his lover, but she didn't expect Saori to show up immediately. Everything seemed to coincide with her guess.

"Nana, I'm here to bring you medicine." Saori pulled the other's arm and whispered in Jin Nana's ear.

"medicine?"

This word was like a sharp knife stabbing Jin Nana's heart. How could she think that she was sick?
When Jin Nana looked at Sazhi, her eyes changed a little. She felt that the other party was mocking her. Then she looked at Chen Xi, looking for flaws on his face.

"You came all the way here to bring me medicine? My head injury has healed a long time ago. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Nana, why do you say that?"

"You came all the way to China, maybe you want to see someone."

"Nana, don't think too much. I always regard you as your best friend." Hearing Jin Nana's unfriendly tone, Saori's eyes turned red with grievance.

"Oh, forget it. Let's sit down and talk." Jin Nana sighed and pointed to the sofa in the room.

After all, they were still good friends, and she didn't want to make things unpleasant for both of them because of a man's affairs.

But no one likes betrayal, especially the closest people around them. Jin Nana still suspected from the bottom of her heart that Saori and Chen Xi were having an affair behind her back.

Chen Xi stood aside and didn't know what to say. He really wanted to comfort Saori, but was afraid of upsetting Jin Nana, so he could only look to Zhao Lingshan for help.

The latter nodded, and began to change the subject: "Why, why don't you open a shop in Australia, but come here? Did your dessert shop go bankrupt? Actually, don't be too sad, not everyone is cut out for business. There is an old saying that failure is the mother of success. You failed in opening a dessert shop this time, you can change to something else next time..."

"Hehe, I failed? You still have the leisure to teach me how to do business. I'm not afraid to tell you that I have surrounded your store now and launched other products. Now customers can dine at my place. Who would eat your cheap fast food? Only homeless people will patronize it..." Saori raised the corner of her mouth and shook her head sarcastically.

"What? You actually stole my house while I was away. Just wait. I have plenty of people in the Jiangnan Group. I will bring dozens of bakers with me and destroy your shop."

"When it comes to stealing homes, I'm not as good as someone. Some people even steal other people's boyfriends when their girlfriends are not around."

Sitting on the sofa, Jin Nana looked at the two people's fierce verbal fight with a puzzled look on her face.

What does Saori mean by this?
She began to imagine various scenes in her mind and analyze the relationship between the four people present, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

Chen Xi rubbed his forehead helplessly. He wanted Zhao Lingshan to help him out, not to make things worse...

"Well, okay. Let's think about where to stay tonight." Chen Xi coughed, interrupting their quarrel.

Zhao Lingshan and Sazhi looked at each other, then turned to look at Jin Nana, who was sitting there with her arms folded and not saying a word.

The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward. Chen Xi scratched his head, not knowing how the three women would decide.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

It was around 6 o'clock in the evening, in a private room of a restaurant.

Sun Chen and Chen Lihua drove to the parking lot.

"What is Chen Xi doing? He doesn't even study hard. He just keeps showing off at auctions like the rich second-generations in TV dramas. Is he going to buy something for some woman? In ancient times, there was a king who sent lychees over thousands of miles to pick up girls. How do you recite that poem?"

"A horse gallops through the dusty world and the concubine smiles. No one knows that it is the lychees coming!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Sun, you are the more educated." Chen Lihua nodded vigorously.

"I watched Chen Xi grow up. He's not such a weird person. How could he go to an auction for a woman? He said he just wanted to see an auction. Kids always like new things." Sun Chen defended Chen Xi.

"It would not be a good idea for Chen Xi to bid at Chen Yifeng's auction house. If people find out, they will think that he is a hired agent who deliberately raises the price." Although Chen Lihua is a military man, he still understands these things.

"Chen Xi said he would pretend to be a passerby and would not reveal his identity, so when you are there, don't say hello to him."

"This kid Chen Xi is much more likable than Chen Yifeng. He used to be very polite to my family during the Chinese New Year." Chen Lihua smiled when he thought of his nephew.

Chen Xi was quite cute when she was a child, with delicate features like a girl.

"Okay, come in." Sun Chen opened the car door and walked down first.

Inside the box, a man and three women were sitting there chattering non-stop. The three women were still arguing with each other, while Chen Xi was trying to mediate.

"Click."

"Uncle Sun, hello, second uncle." Chen Xi stood up and nodded to greet the person when he saw him coming.

"This..." As soon as the two came in, they were shocked by the scene in the box. Three beauties accompanying one man, this relationship is simply...

"Well, this is my friend, classmate, and childhood friend." Chen Xi had already thought of the excuse, and he didn't stutter when he explained.

"Oh, it's great to be young."

"Nephew, what are you doing? What did you learn when you went abroad? You really inherited Chen Yifeng's excellent genes."

The two of them sat down while complaining.

"Hello, uncle."

The three girls quickly greeted the two men.

After a brief exchange, Chen Lihua couldn't help but say, "Wow, Chen Xi. You're still the Three Kingdoms... You're awesome! You didn't come to this auction just for women, did you?"

"Forehead……"

"I won't ask anymore. If I ask again, it might shatter my three views." Chen Lihua gave his nephew a thumbs up.

"What do you want to buy at this auction?" Sun Chen got straight to the point. "I haven't decided yet, let's see what good stuff there is first. There is no detailed information about the items on the Internet, so how did those customers know what was auctioned?"

Chen Xi did not tell anyone about the box because Ma Yueling asked him to be careful and cautious.

Who knows if the two people in front of me will get drunk and tell others what happened.

"This auction is basically held regularly now, with a small auction once a month and a large auction every three months. There are many specific items, and it would take too much effort to list them all. In order to increase the sense of mystery, some items will not be made public. But we still sent the information of some auction items to old customers. Since the financial crisis, many bosses have gone bankrupt, and there are many good things that appear at auctions. Of course, there are also people who come to pick up bargains. Some seemingly insignificant things, we don’t know the value of, such as some limited edition gadgets…"

"Then the deposit..."

"You're just a kid. How can you afford to bid for expensive things? Forget about the deposit. This is your auction house anyway. But don't say hello to us when you're there..."

"No, I mean..."

"Okay, okay. I won't tell your dad. I know you two don't have a good relationship. He's getting married soon. Do you want to go against him? Oh, between father and son, it's fine after the quarrel..."

Before Chen Xi finished speaking, Sun Chen waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Uncle Sun, you can't be the vice president of Xunjie." Zhao Lingshan suddenly thought of something.

"Um...you know all this." Sun Chen looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

A company went bankrupt, and I was still the vice president. People mentioned me...

"What's going on with Wang Lingzhi? Did Fang Shiyu and his gang go to the company to ask Chen Xi for money?"

"Huh? What does that mean? Chen Xi took over Xun Jie?" Sun Chen was stunned, obviously not knowing about this yet.

"Well, my dad gave Xunjie to me, and said he wanted to test my abilities." Chen Xi sighed.

"What's so good about taking over this crappy company? Old Chen is such a jerk. He owes people wages and even lets his son clean up the mess."

"There's nothing I can do about it. There's an old saying that goes, 'A son must pay for his father's debts.'"

"You really have a good attitude." Sun Chen shook his head after listening.

"Ha, I knew that Chen Yifeng likes to cheat people, but I didn't expect that he would even cheat his own son. This is an exciting story. I will go back and share it with my relatives." Chen Lihua laughed when he heard it.

Now many of Chen's relatives have been recruited by Chen Kaiwen to work in the factory. Everyone is eating Chen Yifeng's food, including Chen Lihua himself. However, Chen Lihua is always unhappy. If it were not for his father's order, he would not work for Chen Yifeng.

"Ha, Uncle, you are still the same."

"Chen Xi, you have learned so many advanced ideas abroad. What are you going to do when you return to China?" Chen Lihua raised his eyebrows at Chen Xi, not knowing whether the advanced ideas he was referring to were cultural courses or women.

He didn't know that Chen Xi had already set up a company in China. Since Chen Xi and Chen Yifeng were not on good terms, he didn't mind working for Chen Xi if his nephew was doing well.

"Well, I plan to start a few projects after graduation. My mother has separated from Lao Chen, and the new factory also needs my help..."

"Oh, I, your second uncle, only have military force. If you set up a security company, I can still help you, but if you want me to be a factory security guard, forget it..." Chen Lihua said jokingly.

"How could that be? Second uncle, you are the captain of Xinlu Golden Shield. It would be a waste of your talent to be a security guard. But I have never worked in a security company. The employees there are all veterans. I can recruit people, but first of all, I have to have business. I have the resources to be the bodyguard for the stars, but the bank..."

"Don't even think about banks, that's all Golden Shield's unified business. In China, security companies actually have a lot of business, but they're all in cooperation with the government, you know. Security companies have a lot of business, including: corporate units, financial institutions, schools, communities, entertainment, transportation, special industries..."

"Uh... that's all monopolized by others, there's no way I can get involved." Chen Xi was speechless, how could he not know these things.

"After working in this industry for so many years, I have summed up an experience, that is, more and more people are being laid off. The expenses of security companies are too high, and with the continuous improvement of technology, the spray guns we have can only scare away the gangsters. But the domestic security is so good, and there are cameras everywhere. Which fool would be so blind as to rob openly? Such incidents have almost never happened, so security companies have also begun to lay off a large number of people. What matters now is the physical protection of instruments, that is, security equipment... just like the one your father cooperated with the bank before..." Chen Lihua said while drinking.

Chen Yifeng's early cooperation with banks was a camera, plus a complete set of data storage equipment. In the early days, the camera was stored by video recording, and Chen Yifeng directly updated the bank, first using CDs, and later launched hard disk storage.

Combined with the latest camera, it made him a fortune in that era.

Of course, this relies on Chen Caiyue's relationship.

Otherwise, as a small boss, no bank would cooperate with you.

"Second uncle, I see that you are not just a military man. You have a smart brain. But, I have never worked on security equipment." Chen Xi flattered the other party, trying to get the following words out of him.

"You don't, but I do. I've been in this industry for so long, and there are so many technology equipment companies in Xinlu, so I have resources too."

"Well, what do you want to do? Set up a company, transfer money from one hand to the other, and connect resources."

"Hey, I told you that my nephew who studied abroad is different. I didn't say you were right."

"..." Chen Xi was speechless for a while, but still asked patiently: "Then why don't you do it yourself? You drag me in, are you short of money?"

"How can I find a new job as a captain who has resigned? Your mother knows so many people. Let her think of a solution."

"Uh..." Chen Xi scratched his head. It seemed that his second uncle was not a fool after all. He had planned everything.

"There are quite a few people coming to the auction this time, because there are many rare items among the auction items. One of them is a big boss in Yuezhou whose house has been sealed. I suggest you bid for something worth tens of thousands of dollars just for fun, but don't get carried away by the excitement and bid too much. Otherwise, the item will be sold to you in the end, and Lao Chen will have to pay for it with a curse. This is not the key point. The key point is that the item will be sold next time, and it may be exposed, which will affect the reputation of the auction house."

"I understand, I understand. But tens of thousands of dollars is too little, and there may not be anything good. I have money now, so Lao Chen doesn't have to pay for it."

"There are often some second-generation people who show up at this auction. They care more about face, and sometimes when the two sides have an argument, they start bidding desperately. Don't be fooled by others. You have been a relatively stable person since you were a child. I am just reminding you."

"Well, can you show me the specific item album?"

"I have brought the information. Some of it doesn't have photos, but it's definitely more diverse than what I gave to others. You can just look at it here. The information must not be leaked."

"Oh, this is really troublesome. It would be great if this could be turned into an online auction." Chen Xi muttered as he took the information.

"Online auction? That kind of thing is very troublesome, and people are not present, so everyone has a lot of concerns." Sun Chen shook his head. He felt that Chen Xi knew nothing about this industry.

After all, in this era, online auctions need to meet many conditions to be successful. (End of this chapter)
