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

"You have to understand one thing clearly. Huade was funded by Chen Caiyue's family. It is us, the Chen family, who are busy running around in the company. How can she, who has contributed nothing, get to work in the group?" Chen Mingli is usually not good at speaking and can't say anything, but today he showed his ability for the first time.

Chen Xi secretly gave his uncle a thumbs up. He never expected that he would be able to see Chen Mingli’s extraordinary performance in his lifetime.

"What do you mean by funding me? Don't talk nonsense, I started from scratch..." Chen Yifeng was furious. He had always told others that he was self-made, and even Zhang Xuan believed it. Now that his true colors were exposed, he was naturally furious.

"Okay, stop arguing. Anyway, I don't agree with anyone from the Zhang family entering the company. If you do this, I won't acknowledge you as my son." Chen Kaiwen actually sees things more clearly than his son and knows the consequences of letting a wolf into the house.

"I also think this is not a good idea." Unexpectedly, Huang Jingfang did not agree with her son's point of view.

The Chen family is surprisingly united when it comes to the fact that someone might take away their cake and eat it.

For example, in his previous life, Chen Xi said that he would carry out reforms after taking office and kick all the relatives out of the family, which immediately met with opposition from everyone.

Even the successor of the Future Group can be denied by everyone, let alone Zhang Xuan, the woman who just married into the Chen family.

"Forget it if it doesn't work. I don't want to make things difficult for Yifeng." Zhang Xuan said with a cold face.

She now hates this family extremely and is ready to remove these stumbling blocks one by one.

Chen Yifeng didn't mention the matter again and started eating with a sullen face.

"Now that you've got your brother into our company, you won't bring other relatives in later. By then, Huade might even have to change its surname. By the way, Zhang Xuan, you don't want to work at Huade too, do you?" Li Ting had no intention of letting the other party go and continued her attack.

"How could that be? I won't go to work in a factory. I'm afraid of being tired!" Zhang Xuan waved her hand.

"Then where do you want to work? There are so many companies under the group. You wouldn't want to start other businesses, would you?" Li Ting asked again.

"Neither, why should I go to work?" Zhang Xuan blinked.

"Then you don't want to stay at home and eat free meals, do you?" Li Ting's question was also what the other members of the Chen family wanted to ask.

Whether it is the Chen family or Chen Caiyue's family, there has never been a woman at home eating idle meals for generations.

Even when Chen Caiyue was pregnant, she continued to work.

"What do you mean by eating free meals? Isn't it normal for men to work outside and women to work inside?" Zhang Xuan's face looked unhappy again.

"Oh, you still want to stay at home and lay eggs. There has never been a housewife in our Chen family for all these years." Li Ting put down her chopsticks and said.

She has been married to Chen Mingli for so many years and has insisted on going to work every day. Huang Jingfang told her this after she entered the house.

If Zhang Xuan broke this exception, Li Ting would definitely feel unbalanced.

"What housewife? I am a future full-time wife."

"Hahaha, just changing the name is flattering yourself, you're so funny." Li Ting laughed to tears when she heard Zhang Xuan's explanation.

"Haha." The rest of the Chen family also laughed.

In his previous life, when Chen Xi heard the terms "full-time housewife" and "baby mom", he also wanted to laugh.

"The times are progressing, and each generation has its own way of living. In the past, women would go to farm after giving birth. Now, what matters is educating children. What if there is no one at home to take care of the children?" Chen Yifeng stood up again to speak for his concubine.

"Hey, Caiyue used to be pregnant with Chen Xi and still stood there working every day. The newcomers are better than the old ones, and even their treatment has changed. Ha, men!" Li Ting said unclearly while eating.

"Yifeng, you promised me before we got married that you wouldn't let me go to work, right?" Zhang Xuan leaned her head on Chen Yifeng's shoulder and glanced at everyone provocatively.

The people in the Chen family were so angry when they saw this scene.

"Bang!" Chen Kaiwen was the first one who couldn't sit still and slammed his chopsticks directly on the table.

"What are you talking about!" Chen Kaiwen glared at Zhang Xuan.

"It's indeed a bit too much. We are so old and still working diligently in the company, but some people are just reaping the benefits." Today, Huang Jingfang stood on the same front with Chen Kaiwen for the first time.

"If the Chen family opens this loophole, it will be doomed." Chen Jingrui added fuel to the fire.

"That's right. If she doesn't work, then I won't work either." Li Ting poked Chen Mingli with her arm.

"That's right, second brother, you better take good care of my wife and don't lead her astray." Chen Mingli took the opportunity to mock her.

"You need to figure out who gave you such a good life now." Chen Yifeng's words made the whole family explode.

"What do you mean, second brother? You make it seem like we are beggars. Grandpa and mom worked so hard to raise you, isn't it your right to support them? Besides, we have a good life thanks to you, but who gave you a good life? Ask yourself honestly." Chen Mingli seemed like a different person today, answering questions fluently.

"Hmph, you're blaming your parents for an outsider. I don't think you're going to make a good decision." Chen Kaiwen was already furious.

"Second brother, what you said is too much. Haven't we made any contribution? Who is managing the work in the factory?" Huang Jingfang felt very aggrieved.

"Hey, that's not what I meant..." Chen Yifeng looked at his angry parents, then looked at Zhang Xuan and Chen Xi beside him, and finally chose to shut up.

In order to maintain his own image, he could only swallow his anger. If Zhang Xuan was not present today, he would probably have said a few words back, because Chen Xi often saw him and Chen Kaiwen quarreling before.

"Can you Feel it...Welcome to If You Are the One TV station of Jiangsu Province. Please welcome the host Meng De."

"Hello everyone, I'm Meng De, welcome to If You Are the One. This is the live emotional mentor - Huang Yi... Now please welcome the 24 beautiful female guests!"

"Gee Gee Gee Gee baby baby baby
Gee Gee Gee Gee baby baby baby~”

At this time, in order to ease the atmosphere at home, Chen Zhou turned on the TV and turned up the volume.

The show currently being broadcast on TV was a popular dating show in the previous life, and this was also the first episode of If You Are the One.

Chen Yifeng had also watched this show in his previous life. Chen Xi still remembered that he said how rubbish the show was, but he watched it secretly in private.

"Please welcome the first male guest!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Qian Shaoshao, I'm 28 years old..." At this time, a young man who looked pretty good walked onto the stage.

"Okay, handsome boy, come on, please choose the girl you like." Meng De handed the tablet to Qian Shaoshao. Qian Shaoshao squinted his eyes at the woman on the stage and quickly made a choice.

Chen Xi has been wondering, you said that the distance between men and women on the stage is so far that normal people can't see what the women look like at all. They can only barely see their appearance through previous photos or the screen backstage. What's the difference between this and opening a blind box to choose?
"Okay, now please watch the first VCR!" Meng De looked at the number chosen by the young man, smiled, and then pointed to the big screen on the stage.

"I'm Qian Shaoshao, a worker at a factory in Qinhuai City. I earn 2,000 yuan a month and live with my parents in an old house. My parents are both laid-off workers and are in poor health and need my care..."

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A series of sounds rang out, and before the VCR had finished playing, more than half of the 24 lights had gone out.

The young man on the stage looked very embarrassed and kept rubbing his pants with his hands.

Meng De saw through the other party's psychological activities at this time, so he quickly sped up the progress and signaled the women to start speaking: "No. 13, I see you have been raising your hand, do you have anything to ask?"

"I would like to ask, the male guest is 28 years old this year and his monthly salary is only 2,000 yuan. Why doesn't he choose to change jobs? His family is not very wealthy. He has to support his parents and his wife and children in the future. How can these 2,000 yuan be enough?" This is a woman with heavy makeup. She looks to be at least 30 or 50 years old. She wants to hide her age with heavy makeup.

"Um... I only graduated from junior high school, and I got this job through my parents' introduction. I applied for jobs outside many times but was rejected every time..." Qian Shaoshao lowered his head and answered unconfidently.

"I have something to say. With your conditions, aren't you wasting our female guests' time by going on stage? Why come out for a blind date if you don't have money? Two thousand yuan is not even enough for me to drink milk tea a few times." Female guest number seven suddenly interrupted.

This further aroused Qian Shaoshao's inferiority complex.

"The milk tea cup you drink from is made of gold? Two thousand yuan is not enough for your milk tea?" Meng De couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to help Qian Shaoshao out of the situation.

"I'm just making an analogy. Two thousand yuan is not enough to support me anyway." Female guest No. 7 curled her lips.

"Don't say anything if you don't have factual basis." Meng De pointed at the woman angrily, then looked at the other side and said, "No. 11, what do you want to say?"

"I want to ask, the male guest just said that he lives in an old house. Is it a villa from the Republic of China era? What kind of car does he usually use to get around?" The girl didn't start mocking him right away, but instead tried to find out about the man's family's financial strength in a cunning way.

"No, it's just an old house of 60 square meters."

"Does it say when the demolition will take place?"

"No, my means of transportation is a bicycle and a bus." Qian Shaoshao blushed and scratched his head.

“Forget it, I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. Besides, your two thousand dollars won’t make me laugh. We are destined not to be together.” After saying this, female guest No. 11 pressed the lights off button.

"Boom~boom~boom!"

The remaining lights on the stage also went out.

"Okay, the next part will be skipped. Your interruption to If You Are the One today ends here. Don't be discouraged, young man. Things may change over time. Who knows, one day you will soar to the sky and stand on this stage again! Teacher Huang Yi, please give a few comments." Meng De comforted Qian Shaoshao and handed the right to speak to the emotional mentor - Huang Yi.

Huang Yi took the microphone from Meng De and looked at Qian Shaoshao with encouragement in his eyes: "Young man, I want to tell you that although the stage tonight failed to light a lamp for you, it does not mean that your life value is denied. In this fast-paced, materialistic society, we are often easily confused by superficial numbers and labels and forget what is really important - that is, a person's character, hard work and love for life.

You mentioned that you have a low education and limited income, but do you know that these are not the only criteria for measuring whether a person can have a happy life. What I see is that you have the courage to stand on this stage and face many unknowns and challenges. This courage itself is a precious asset. Your sincerity and sense of responsibility to your family are beautiful qualities that many people lack.

There will always be ups and downs in life, what matters is how we deal with them. You mentioned that you were rejected for many jobs, but this does not mean that you are incapable, but you may not have met the person or opportunity who can appreciate your unique value. Remember, every failure is a step towards success, it makes us more resilient and more appreciative.

Love should not be based on material things alone. True love is about supporting each other and growing together, staying together when the other person is down, and finding extraordinary happiness in ordinary days. I believe that somewhere in this world, there must be someone who is willing to ride a bicycle with you, fight for life together, and enjoy those simple but real happiness together.

So, Qian Shaoshao, please take this night's experience as a precious stepping stone in your life journey. Don't be discouraged by a temporary setback, keep moving forward, and constantly improve yourself, both in terms of skills and in your heart. The stage that belongs to you will one day be brightly lit, illuminating your way forward. "

"Clap clap clap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience gave warm applause to cheer for this brave young man.

Qian Shaoshao's eyes were slightly red, but there was a new light in them, as if at this moment, he had found the strength to start again.

"Oh, what stupid woman would ride a bicycle with him? She's either ugly or as poor as him."

"That's right, it's better to be realistic. Some women are foolish enough to be deceived by men, thinking that the other party is a good stock. As a result, after investing for more than ten years, they find out that it is a bad stock that is about to be delisted. It is better to find a good stock to invest in."

The two female guests were unconvinced and started to sing a duet.

"Teacher Huang Yi said it very well, but I think the female guests here may not listen to it. But it doesn't matter. There is a place for everyone. Sooner or later you will find your place..." Meng De looked around at the women.

"Okay, please welcome the next male guest." Without giving the girls a chance to refute, Meng De waved his hand.

At this time, the exit music also sounded: "

Unfortunately, not you

Accompany me till the end

We walked together
But I lost my way..."

Qian Shaoshao bowed to Huang Yi and Meng De, then turned and left.

Then, the elevator on the stage slowly descended.

"Haha, what kind of show is this? It's quite interesting." Chen Jingrui said drunkenly.

"Women nowadays only care about money. Women won't bother with men who have no money. It's not like our generation, when all we cared about was true love." Li Ting looked at Zhang Xuan.

Everyone knew exactly what this meant.

"Hey, nowadays women want to sit in a BMW and laugh. I don't have a BMW, but I have quite a few Mercedes-Benzes. I guess some women will laugh until their mouths are cramped. Think about it, Caiyue even bought a motorcycle for the second brother. The Suzuki motorcycles imported from the Sakura Country at that time were almost the same price as imported cars now. Regardless of gender or era, there are always people who want to live off others." Chen Mingli also started to chime in.

"What's wrong with a bicycle? I used to ride a bicycle and a motorcycle. Women nowadays are really something. They all know how to get something for nothing." Chen Kaiwen originally liked his eldest son, so it was natural for him to stand up and speak.

"Hello everyone, I'm the second male guest, Qian Duoduo, from Huajing..." A chubby man slowly walked out of the elevator. (End of this chapter)
