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

The next day, Huajing Airport.

"Why are you still following us? Aren't you going back to Korea to celebrate the New Year?" Zhao Lingshan covered her mouth and looked at Jin Nana who was trying to persuade her.

"Of course I will go back to Xinlu with Chen Xi to celebrate the New Year. There is an old saying in your country: if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog." Jin Nana made a decision immediately after being tricked by her.

"I'm not a chicken or a dog. What kind of analogy are you using?" Chen Xi's face was filled with black lines.

"Hehe, you're really funny. You haven't even gotten married yet." Zhao Lingshan waved her hand and didn't stop him from following. She turned her head and looked at Chen Xi and asked, "Didn't the higher-ups say they would do some ideological work for everyone? Who's going to do it?"

"Who else could it be? Lin Xi and Xu Yun are both passing the buck to each other. To do ideological work, we must speak more harshly. Not everyone is willing to listen to this kind of thing. To put it simply, it is easy to offend people." Chen Xi spread his hands helplessly.

"What should I do?"

"What else can we do? Someone has to sacrifice. But I think it's not a bad thing to stand up and say something. Then I'll do it, haha!" Chen Xi chatted with Lin Xi and Xu Yun on QQ for a long time yesterday, and finally decided that Chen Xi would be the bad guy.

But he felt it was necessary to speak out this time.

There are too many people studying abroad now, and each generation of international students is worse than the previous one. In the past, international students were labeled as good-for-nothings who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. If we don't show them a way forward, some of them will go astray sooner or later.

This incident has actually happened many times before. It is not just as simple as taking photos in important places. Some people also join certain organizations.

If you say he knows nothing, no one would believe it. Maybe he thought it was fun and interesting at first, or he was brainwashed, or he couldn't resist the temptation, and in the end he was just helping others.

Before the plane took off, Chen Xi sent the text he had written last night to the QQ group.

“Dear members of the Young Returnees Association, as the number of members in the association grows, so do the problems that arise.

A series of recent events have undoubtedly sounded the alarm for us.

At the meeting yesterday, the relevant departments reminded us that we must further strengthen the internal management of the association and at the same time deepen the education of patriotic ideas. I think this is still very necessary.

At that time, I was relatively young and had just started studying abroad. Western culture and systems were indeed very attractive to me.

I once had similar doubts: If our society learns from some Western practices, will it become better? However, when I grew up, I felt that my previous thoughts were not in line with reality, and it can be said that all aspects were not so perfect. Each social system has its own unique soil and background, and simple imitation and copying cannot solve the fundamental problem.

During the study abroad journey, we may encounter all kinds of temptations and challenges. Some students are strictly disciplined by their parents in China, but once they go abroad, they are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins, attracted by the colorful world outside. Although this is human nature, we must keep a clear mind and realize that not all seemingly beautiful things are worth pursuing. In this complex and ever-changing world, there are always some people with ulterior motives who will take advantage of our curiosity and thirst for knowledge to induce and deceive us in various forms.

I have lived in Australia for a long time. Some international students may have gone abroad later than me and have not seen some things. For example, some newspapers publish some strange statements on newsstands. Others lure international students with promises of benefits and make some kind of deal. The most common one is to find international students at the airport, claiming that their luggage is overweight and want you to help them pack some things, but the things inside are all contraband.

Not all international students come from well-off families. In the past, those who went abroad were considered upper class in China, but now most of them are middle class. This includes some poor families whose parents sold their houses and borrowed money to go abroad. Those who go abroad in the future may do so specifically to stay there and work to survive.

No matter how poor a person is, I think he should stick to his original aspirations. Everyone has the right to choose a different life, but if you do something that is detrimental to your hometown because of poverty, you will be criticized by thousands of people.

The true value of a person does not lie in how much wealth or status he has, but in whether he can stick to his beliefs and principles at critical moments.

I often see some people bragging about how good XX country is and how bad the place they lived before is. When war breaks out and they need to evacuate their compatriots, these people will shout "Long Live the Motherland" and are typical fence-sitters.

In recent years, our international status has been significantly improved, and we have more say in international affairs. Behind this is the silent dedication and unremitting efforts of countless national heroes. From the humiliating history of the past to the brilliant achievements today, every step is condensed with the sweat and wisdom of our ancestors. We must not forget that it was those unknown heroes who used their youth and lives to pave the way for us today.

Now, we can speak loudly in the League of Nations. When we recall the Eight-Leninist Peace Conference, who can understand the sadness we felt at that time?

From the deliberate shutdown of GPS many years ago, to the exclusion of the International Space Station, to our ability to independently realize the dream of space travel now, I think it is inseparable from the contributions of those heroes.

Some people, just because they want to go to a prestigious school or make some money, are willing to be used as tools by others. Those who betray their motherland for personal gain are not only irresponsible to themselves, but also a great insult to national dignity. If you take a few photos or get some information, you may make decades of hard work of some scientific researchers go to waste. This is simply a disgrace to us international students.

This is not the first time that this has happened. Some people know everything, yet they still make mistakes. To be honest, they are either stupid or greedy.

I know that every person has a selfish side. Now more and more people have no faith, and no spirit of sacrifice. For example, an enemy has a gun in his hand, but can manage a hundred prisoners, but no one dares to resist, because everyone wants others to go first. If everyone wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, then the world is doomed.

Let me tell you a true story. There was once a young man who, after years of training in the country, resolutely chose to become a citizen of another country. His life in that country was not easy. He often suffered from discrimination and was insulted as a traitor by his compatriots for decades.

Even his father denounced his son as a traitor, eating the country's food but destroying the country's pot. Facing the abuse from his father and fellow countrymen, he threw himself into scientific research in other countries regardless of everything. In advanced laboratories, he created countless achievements and became a famous professor.

While other countries were still complacent, he, as a top professor, had countless students. However, he only allowed students from his hometown to participate in important experiments. By the time other countries realized that this was an Infernal Affairs, it was too late. With the help of himself and advanced equipment from other countries, he secretly trained talents from his hometown and staged a black-eating-black plot.

After bearing the infamy for decades, he finally returned to China with dozens of doctors and hundreds of masters, making significant contributions to our scientific research.

As the saying goes, a wise strategist puts himself in the game and wins half the battle.

He once said something that everyone can listen to: In the face of national justice, what is one's own worth?

This is what it means to sleep on straw and eat bitter food for decades, and still have a childlike heart when you return.

As returnees in the new era, we must have a firm sense of national pride..."

After closing his cell phone, Chen Xi closed his eyes, and the passenger plane was about to take off.

New Fangfang Education Headquarters.

"Mr. Yu, we meet again."

"Hey, why are you here again? Didn't I say I would hold a meeting to discuss with various departments?" Yu Hong looked at Thomas in front of her and took a sip of tea slowly.

"The New Year is coming soon, and I want to try to reach an agreement on the cooperation. Otherwise, when I go back to Australia after the New Year, the matter will be in jeopardy. I still really want to cooperate with your company." Thomas seemed a little anxious.

"Haha, you are still young. You are in such a hurry to talk to me about cooperation, aren't you afraid that I will ask for too much? In China, when negotiating business, you have to hook the other party, just like young people are in love nowadays. Don't confirm the relationship so quickly. You should understand this better than me, who is older."

"Boss Yu, I went back and discussed some of the conditions you proposed earlier with the president, and they are basically all acceptable to me."

"As far as I know, your association has been in big trouble recently. You were even called in for a talk by your superiors yesterday. You came to me in a hurry now, which makes me a little nervous." Yu Hong narrowed her eyes and looked at the other person.

"Haha, this is true, but it's not what you think. Which company or organization doesn't have problems? I think Xin Fang Fang has also encountered some troubles during its development. It must have been more than once that the leader called it to a meeting.

This time I want to talk to Mr. Yu about other things. There are too many educational institutions in China now, it's just a mess, Mr. Yu, have you ever thought about integrating them?" "Integrate domestic education? You're probably overthinking it, you think this is another industry, the water here is too deep, many things involve the interests of public schools, it's not something that any company can accomplish. Who is behind the public schools? If you really do this, you will probably be interviewed by the education department the next day." Yu Hong looked at the young man in front of him as if he were a fool.

"I understand. What I mean is that there are many educational institutions opened by foreign companies in China. You know, many companies now look at certificates when recruiting. Domestic certificates are varied and not as convincing as foreign certificates. I want to work hard in this area..." Thomas' words immediately attracted Yu Hong.

Whether the company is expanding overseas or introducing overseas products into the country, it is all within his consideration.

But until now, Xin Fangfang has not made any achievements. Since Thomas has a solution, why not listen to what the other party says next.

When Thomas saw that the big fish had taken the bait, he felt more confident, so he crossed his legs and began to explain slowly.

In the evening, when Chen Xi returned home, he saw Chen Caiyue watching TV with her dog at home, so he asked, "Mom, how is your talk with that Middle Eastern guy going? When will you give us the 1 billion?"

"Ha, do you think their family owns a bank? Would they really give you 10 billion so easily? It's true that Middle Eastern people are rich, but not all Middle Eastern people are rich. The so-and-so princes in the Middle East that are rumored on the Internet are not all that wealthy. There are only a few people who have the say and can pay large sums of money. Many domestic businessmen went to the Middle East to do business because of what they heard on the Internet. They got the orders, but didn't get the money in the end... Besides, doing business requires many conditions. Aren't we still discussing it in detail?" Chen Caiyue touched the heads of the two puppies.

"Oh, it seems that these Middle Eastern people are not so generous. What they said before was just acting." Chen Xi sat down and touched the dot.

"That's not the case. They want us to spend our money where it counts, which means developing something that can rival or even surpass Ward." Chen Caiyue explained.

"Hehe, I originally thought that ten billion was a lot, but if he said this, then I feel that another ten billion would not be enough!" Chen Xi laughed disdainfully.

You know, Ward has been developing new technologies and has invested much more than this. It is ridiculous to want to reach the other party's technological line with just 1 billion.

Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Xi immediately looked at his mother: "Mom, I remember that Huade not only has a research institute in Germany, but also one in Baxi."

"Yes." Chen Caiyue nodded.

"Then why do we need to set up a research institute in Baxi?"

"That's because you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If there is a technical sanction one day, Ward will be finished."

"Then why did you choose that place? I remember it was very messy there."

"Yes, the more chaotic a place is, the less people will care about it. Have you heard of the no-man's land?"

"..."

Chen Caiyue’s words seemed to make sense, and Chen Xi was unable to refute them.

I have to say that his father Chen Yifeng has a very creative mind and actually came up with such an idea.

Baxi, when normal people hear this place, the first thing that comes to mind is football, and the second is the flour business.

However, few people would realize that there are many expatriates from the Sakura Country in Hachiman.

In the machine tool business, Germany and the Sakura Country are naturally leading.

There is a reason why the research institute is set up there.

"Oh, it seems that Old Chen still has some brains. After all this time, he is still a strategic master." Chen Xi touched his chin.

"Don't underestimate him. Although he is not a good person, he is a good businessman. Although many people who have worked with him have scolded him, Huade's business has become bigger and bigger."

"Who's in charge over there?"

"Hu Jian has been there before. His previous name was Xiao Hai, an engineer from Huade. I don't know who he is now." Chen Caiyue thought for a moment and gave a name.

"I think I saw that when I was a kid."

"Well, he joined the company earlier than Xiao Hu, and settled down after being assigned to Baxi. By the way, the New Year is coming soon, what about Jin Nana and Saori?" Chen Caiyue glanced at the three women who were busy in the kitchen.

"Well, stay and celebrate the New Year together." Chen Xi sighed.

"You...ah!" Chen Caiyue was about to say something when she saw three girls coming out with dishes, so she could only bend her fingers and knock on her son's head.

"I'm so sorry to ask you to cook just after we got off the plane." Chen Caiyue said to the three girls.

"Aunt, this is what we should do." Saori waved her hand.

"That's right, Auntie, we can't let you cook." Zhao Lingshan also started to speak.

"I think Chen Xi should be allowed to do it. He just lies on the sofa when he gets home, like a big shot." Jin Nana muttered softly.

"Ha, him? I haven't eaten the food he cooked yet." Chen Caiyue covered her mouth and giggled.

"My cooking is delicious, but I'm just too lazy to do it." Chen Xi curled his lips.

He was not lying. Chen Xi was quite good at cooking. International students' basic life skills were much better than those of children in China.

I had read the news before and heard that some children in China can't even wash clothes, let alone cook. They are all spoiled by their families. Even Chen Yifeng was quite satisfied with Chen Xi's hands-on ability.

"What are you looking at? Is it a message in the group?" At the dinner table, Zhao Lingshan asked Chen Xi who was holding a mobile phone.

"Yeah, I wrote a short essay before boarding the plane. There must be people who praised me and people who scolded me. Some said I was patriotic, some said I was taking chicken feathers as a token of authority, and some said I was like Song Jiang who was recruited. Hahaha!"

Chen Xi laughed as he read the words on the phone.

"Don't pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of idiots! Or they are Linxi's little followers who are here to lead the trend." Zhao Lingshan comforted.

Most people now know the secrets of the association. The president, vice president, and secretary general are not on good terms, and those who are interested have discovered it long ago. (End of this chapter)
