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

Royal Melbourne Hospital.

"Why hasn't the doctor come yet!" Jack shouted while lying on the makeshift bed.

He was in an awkward position now, having been shot in the front and back, and could only lie on his side.

The woman called an ambulance before, but it took an hour to arrive, which is the normal speed for Australia.

After arriving at the hospital, he was treated like any other injured person and asked to wait on the sidelines after receiving simple treatment.

This wait lasted for several hours. Although he had taken painkillers, the pain from the wound still made him uncomfortable.

"How would I know? Why are you yelling at me?" The woman glared at him aggrievedly.

"Fuck, did you offend someone? I have to suffer with you."

"I said you provoked someone!"

The two men stared at each other, both thinking that the attack was caused by the other.

At this time, Eric also rushed over. He looked at Jack's injuries, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know what happened. I just got out of the car to smoke a cigarette and someone shot me with an air rifle."

"Air gun?" Eric touched his head.

Air guns are rare in Australia. If you are a gang member, you will use real guns.

"It should have been shot by an air gun. The man was hiding in the dark, and I couldn't see where he was, but he should be not far away. Judging from the wound and the range, it was definitely shot by an air gun..." Jack still had some brains. He had just analyzed what happened tonight.

"Who do you think could have done it?"

"I don't know." Jack thought about it. He had offended many people, so how could he know who did it?

"In Australia, the Fu people don't touch pills. Some Vietnamese people do, but they are very few. Externally, both sides do not allow Asians to do such things under their noses. Do you think it could be..." Eric spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Yeah, that makes sense. It hurts!" Jack nodded, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body again.

It may be that the painkillers have worn off.

"You lie down first, I'll go find out what's going on." Eric patted the other person's shoulder, but it happened to hit Jack's wound, which immediately caused him to curse.

"Fuck, where's the doctor! If you don't come, I'll complain about you tomorrow." Jack finally got angry and started yelling.

"Asians are so uncultured that they actually yelled in the hospital."

"Yeah, get out of Australia."

The two foreigners who were also waiting gave Jack a cold look.

"Be quiet and don't disturb other patients. Your turn will be soon." The nurse put down the half-eaten donut and moved her fat body towards Jack.

At this time, Chen Xi did not know that his revenge had actually triggered another fight between the Turkish and Australian gangs.

The next day, Chen Xi came to school for class. Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of people absent today.

Ouyang Ming, Li Yuqing, Shi Tao and others did not come to class.

"Where did everyone go?" Chen Xi asked Sun Cheng and Chen Xu.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Sun Cheng spread his hands.

"What's wrong with you?" Looking at Chen Xu who was covering his nose with red eyes, Chen Xi felt something was wrong.

It can’t be that Cherry died suddenly and this guy is sad.

"Hay fever strikes again." Chen Xu spoke with difficulty, rubbing his eyes and with a runny nose.

Many Chinese students who have stayed in Australia for a long time have contracted hay fever. Chen Xu and Ouyang Ming were the worst hit in their previous lives. Ouyang Ming once had difficulty breathing and was sent to the hospital.

"Let's go to the hospital and have a look." Sun Cheng said with concern.

Chen Xi shook his head. The hospital couldn't cure hay fever. He remembered that in his previous life, the doctor said that he could only wait for himself to get better slowly. Most of the international students' symptoms disappeared after returning to China, which was also magical.

"It's useless, it's useless. I've already seen it. Australian doctors are useless." Chen Xu waved his hands angrily.

"There's a trade war going on right now, so the waste recycling business hasn't been affected, right?" Chen Xi asked worriedly.

You have to know that this business brings them a lot of money every year. It can be said to be the most profitable business at present.

If this cash cow is gone, the factory built before will become a decoration.

"No, I'm fine!" Chen Xu's words made Chen Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought so too. There is so much garbage in Australia. If the garbage disposal line is cut off, won’t it still stink?
With so many cities in Australia, it is hard to imagine how much garbage is produced every day.

"Okay, your teacher suddenly has something to do today, so I'll be your substitute." A woman's voice sounded.

Chen Xi turned his head and almost twisted his neck. It turned out to be that fat woman - Madeline.

Why does this guy always substitute for other people when he comes to Didi University?

"Hey, isn't this Xi?" Seeing an old acquaintance, Madeline chuckled.

She was still the same, with deep eyeliner on her eyes, her hair curled into the shape of instant noodles, and a bunch of extravagant accessories hanging on her body that she thought were very tasteful.

Madeline used to teach ESL in high school, which is high school English class. Chen Xi really didn’t understand what else this old woman could teach. At most it would involve some local history.

However, what is the history of Australia? It's just Aboriginal.

"Why isn't the teacher here again?"

"Yes, several teachers have been absent from class recently."

Several students asked dissatisfiedly.

Australia is different from China. Students can say whatever they want and will not be bullied at all unless they make mistakes.

"The economy in Australia has been bad recently. Teachers, doctors and workers are not satisfied with their treatment. Some people don't like to participate in demonstrations and go out to earn extra money." An old classmate in his forties explained with a smile.

This man was the oldest in their class, but not the oldest student in the school. Chen Xi had also seen students who were fifty years old.

Madeline was about the same age as the student, and they were all of the same age. Faced with the man's direct words, she didn't know what to say and could only roll her eyes.

"Aren't teachers paid quite well? It's considered a high-paying profession in Australia. Why do they have to go out to earn extra money? It's okay for teachers, but why are doctors not satisfied?" Sun Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Prices are skyrocketing now, and people's desires are endless. Who would complain about having too much money?" Chen Xi explained.

Think about it, when he first came to Australia, the minimum wage seemed to be eight dollars.

He remembers that the current salary of casino dealers is 20 yuan per hour, and pregnant dealers are paid 24-26 yuan.

University teachers and dentists earned around 20 yuan an hour. When he left Australia, the minimum wage was 18 yuan an hour.

The average income of university teachers and doctors is definitely higher than this figure.

Australia's wages are already among the highest in the world, higher than those in France and the United Kingdom, yet some people are still dissatisfied.

Come to think of it, the gas prices in Mocun seem to have started to rise again recently, and the bus fares are also increasing.

It is not bad for international students. The exchange rate of Australian dollar against Chinese yuan is not as high as before, and the life of international students is still similar to before.

"Well, teaching is just a profession. Some people have many professions. What's so strange about that?" Madeline coughed lightly and explained for her colleague.

"Teacher, what other jobs do you have?" an Australian student asked with a smile. He is a foreigner and naturally looks down on Aboriginal people.

The reason is that Aboriginal people always publicize themselves as victims and have been persecuted by United Kingdom immigrants in history.

"Of course I have other jobs as well. For example, I set up a stall at Victoria Market every week, and recently I also want to open a shop." Madeline straightened up with pride on her face, raised her plump palm, opened the kettle and took a big sip.

"Setting up a stall? What are you selling? What kind of store is it? A food store?" The student looked at Madeline's fat body and couldn't help but think of food.

"Of course it's a jewelry store. No, it should be called an antique store. Look at the things on me, they are very valuable. Look at this, this, and this. They are all old jewelry that I found around the world. They are all made of precious materials..." Madeline stretched out her huge palm, with a ring on each finger. She also pointed to several necklaces on her neck, as well as earrings, etc.

Chen Xi took a look and found that it was almost the same as the one he wore in high school. It was obvious that he was cheated and bought it as a fool.

"Teacher, this thing of yours doesn't seem to be valuable." Although he is a foreigner, he still has some ability to distinguish things. At first glance, the ring on Madeline's hand looks like a ruby, emerald, agate or something, but it always feels weird.

"You don't understand. Some of these are bought from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Have you ever been to those places? Do you know what is produced there?"

Madeline's question left the foreigner speechless for a moment, as he had indeed never been to those places.

"Xi, I heard that you have a lot of old items in China, which will definitely be very popular in Australia. I have seen Chinese porcelain on display in many antique shops, and one piece is worth tens of thousands of Australian dollars. Do you know where to get them?" After dealing with the student, Madeline turned her gaze to Chen Xi who was grinning.

"I know. There is a Panjiayuan in Huajing. There are many old items there. You can go there to buy some!"

"You are such a fool. Those products are all imitations. If you let her buy them there, I'm afraid she will be ripped off from all her underwear."

"What if she buys the real thing?"

Sun Cheng and Chen Xu asked in a low voice.

"Even if you buy genuine goods, they won't be able to get through customs... There are many small stalls in Panjiayuan, and taking them out of the country requires very complicated procedures. Normal people can basically only take them away if they buy them at auctions... We don't have to worry about that." Chen Xi said, covering his mouth.

"I prefer those made of agate and jade," Madeline added.

"Then go to Yunnan Province, there are a lot of jade jewelry there!" Chen Xi replied.

There is indeed a lot of jade in Yunnan Province, but the water is also very deep. He has been there to buy some before.

"Ah."

"Teacher, is it time to start the class?"

The student who had just lost face spoke again.

Hearing this, Madeline put on her glasses unhappily and opened the courseware.

Although the fat woman is annoying, she is still very serious about her work. I am not teaching this course, but I still did a lot of homework to avoid making a fool of myself.

However, her level was still limited. After she had spoken for a while, she began to ask students to help her with the lecture. She would ask a question, let other students answer it, and then she would talk about the ideas in her notes.

"Australia is a country that is highly dependent on imports, and its own development seems to be rather contradictory. It wants to protect the environment without setting up various large factories, and at the same time it spends a lot of money trying to solve this problem from other aspects. Some people say that Australia's only domestically produced car, Holden, cannot compete with others and its sales are poor. Many people would rather spend a lot of money to buy imported cars than Holden. There are many foreign immigrants in Australia. They don't like large-displacement cars and look down on this brand. They suggest that it should be closed to reduce pollution. What do you think?" Madeline gradually got into the role and began to ask questions again.

"Then just shut it down. Since we can buy cars from other countries, why should we make them ourselves?" A student thought this question was stupid.

"I also think that if something doesn't fit the market and consumers don't buy it, then we should not produce it," another person echoed.

"Xi, what do you think?" The fat woman liked to call on Chen Xi in class and ask him to answer since she was in high school.

"I think it cannot be closed. Recently, Australia has signed bilateral free trade agreements with the United States, the United States of Sakura, the United States of Kimchi, Malaysia and other countries. These agreements allow imported cars to be sold in Australia with the lowest tax exemption. The influx of imported cars has had a serious impact on the survival space of local domestic cars in Australia, making it difficult for local car brands to gain a foothold in the competition.

In the long-term operation of the Holden brand, there are problems such as poor management, aging product lines, and insufficient innovation. With the intensification of market competition and the diversification of consumer demand, the Holden brand failed to adjust its strategy in time to meet market demand, resulting in a continuous decline in sales.

Even so, if Holden goes bankrupt, Australia's cars will be 100% dependent on imports. If it is sanctioned for some political reason in the future, no one will even be able to drive a car.

Besides, if the car factory closes, it will also have an impact on other industries. What will happen to the workers? Will the majors in universities be cancelled..."

There is a reason why Chen Xi said this.

In previous lives, there were some areas where breakthroughs could not be made, and those with weak hearts would say, "If you can't make breakthroughs, then you can't make breakthroughs, just import them anyway."

Others keep praising Western technology and asking why we shouldn't cooperate with others.

Many people are surrenderists in their hearts, and think that if they cannot win the competition, then they should not compete, which is the wise thing to do.

If we rely too much on foreign imports, it is equivalent to letting core technologies be in the hands of others, which may lead to the threat of foreign technology blockade or sanctions at critical moments, thus affecting the country's scientific and technological security and economic development.

Some people just can't figure out such a simple question. They think that when encountering difficulties, they should not face them. It is better to lower their heads, say nice words and cooperate with others. This way they can easily solve the problems in front of them and don't consider the future at all.

This is just like how some people envy certain countries for not developing their military and investing all their money in civilian use, which on the surface seems to allow ordinary people to live a good life.

He didn't consider that if there was a conflict between the younger brother and the older brother, and the older brother asked the thugs stationed in your house to cause trouble, your good life would be over. Besides, the older brother didn't help the younger brother for nothing, and he had to pay protection fees to the older brother every year.

The two students who just answered the question have the same idea as these people, that Australians are just too leisurely. Many people have not considered this issue.

"Targeted? We Australians have never been targeted by anyone. I don't quite understand what you are saying." Madeline smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"Hehe." Chen Xi was too lazy to explain to this fat woman with long hair and little knowledge.

Now that Oceania and Asia have started a trade war, Australia will soon be unable to export its minerals. Will it not be targeted?
Australians generally know very little about things in Asia, let alone the trade war, most people don't even know about it.

"Teacher, you should go do business. There are many things in books that won't tell you." Sun Cheng couldn't help but speak up for Chen Xi.

Madeline glared at Sun Cheng when she heard that, and then started to change the subject.

After finally waiting for the get out of class to end, Chen Xi naturally didn't want to see this fat woman. He didn't plan to attend the second half of the class either. He picked up his schoolbag and walked out.

When he arrived at the center of the school, intending to get something to eat, he unexpectedly ran into Shen Xinyi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see!" Shen Xinyi waved to Chen Xi.

"You haven't eaten yet, let's go together? Aren't you going back to China this time?" Chen Xi pointed in a direction and the two walked towards the restaurant.

"No, I have a lot of things to do at the company and I don't have time to go back. How about you?"

"I went back, but I encountered a lot of things."

"I saw a guide come to the Overseas Returnees Association, and I heard about what happened before." Shen Xinyi stroked her hair. (End of this chapter)
