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

"No matter what I say, he doesn't agree and then puts forward new conditions. I think he is just playing tricks on us." On the other end of the phone, Tan Guang asked the girl who hung up.

"No...he agreed." The girl answered stupidly before she could react.

"Agreed?" Tan Guang was also stunned when he heard this.

"Just agree. Why think so much? Think about what to say when we meet later. We have talked to him alone before, and now we can pool the money together. He will definitely agree to such a large amount of money." Another young man took a sip of coffee.

"I always feel that he doesn't want money." The girl tilted her head and thought.

"If not money, what else do you want? Are you after your body? You failed to seduce him last time. I want to laugh when I think about this. Hahaha." The young man just finished laughing when he was attacked by the girl's cold eyes.

Half an hour later, in a private room in the cafe.

This is a chess and card room used for entertainment. Nowadays, most coffee shops and tea houses rely on this to maintain their business.

"Knock knock." Someone suddenly knocked on the box door.

Soon the door was opened, and Chen Xi walked in and looked around the room.

Four men and one woman, the same people who were at the last auction.

"Welcome, welcome." A young man wearing glasses came forward and shook hands with Chen Xi.

"Haha, you guys are really interesting. You've even chased me all the way to Xinlu. It's just a set of broken cards, is it necessary?" After sitting down, Chen Xi chuckled.

"We are members of the card association, and this is our membership card." The young man took out a small card and handed it over, but Chen Xi did not take it.

"Don't give me that crap. What card association? Where is there such an organization in the country? You can't even make up a decent one. You, Yoda, your family is in the futures business. You, Yan Yanping, your family is in the dairy business. You, Jiang Xiaoyu, your family is in the food processing business. Tan Guang, your family business is varied, I won't go into details about them one by one. Kongqiu, your family is..." Chen Xi pointed at everyone one by one and dug up their past.

"You guy, when did you investigate us?" Jiang Xiaoyu, the only girl among the five, asked with her eyes wide open.

"You have to understand one thing. This is Xinlu, my old nest. Since the last time you entered here, the information has fallen into my hands." Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Haha, we have no hostility. We just want to buy that set of cards from you." The man with glasses continued with a smile on his face.

"You have been calling and texting me since last year, and now you come here in person, just to buy a set of cards? Even if these cards are made of gold, they are not that valuable." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"We really like this set of cards, little brother, please give it to us." Jiang Xiaoyu began to act coquettishly.

"We paid so much money to buy a set of crappy cards, and you don't even give us face..." One of the five young men couldn't help it, but was stopped by another before he could finish his words.

Tan Guang walked up to Chen Xi and asked, "Mr. Chen, it's just a set of cards. We can do our best to satisfy whatever you want. You can set any conditions you want."

"I'm not familiar with you yet, but I like making friends. I bought this set of cards and threw them away after I brought them home. I don't know where I put them. If you really want me to, go home and look for them when the time comes. I'm actually very curious, why did you end up hanging out with Yang Dan when you came to Xinlu last time? Are you friends?" Chen Xi neither refused nor agreed, but changed the subject.

"I wouldn't call us friends, we just met at an auction in Shanghai. He's very generous and is developing in Xinlu. He mentioned you during the conversation, so we came here." The man with glasses next to him spoke first.

"That's not right. The last time I saw you, Mr. Tan, at the Yuezhou auction, the woman next to you seemed to be Zhang Lili. Zhang Lili used to be with Yang Dan. Could it be that the three of you are..." Chen Xi looked at Tan Guang with a wicked smile.

With his scar suddenly exposed, Tan Guang wanted to lose his temper, but he still held it back and could only walk aside and sulk in secret.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Chen Xi asked again: "I am very clear about Yang Dan's family situation. His father does not like antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Why did he spend so much money at the auction?"

“It is said that they want to set up an online auction house. In the early stage, the newly established auction house needs to rely on gimmicks to attract people, so getting some valuable items bought from other places can increase the credibility of the platform.” The man with glasses took a sip of tea.

"Very good, I like people like you who speak the truth. I am not short of money, and I have only been back to China for a short time, so I need the support of various relationships. If we get to know each other for a long time in the future, and I think you guys can be friends, I will give you the cards for free."

"..."

Chen Xi's words made the five people at a loss. They had prepared several plans, but now they couldn't use even one of them.

After everyone left, there were only five of them left in the box.

"Why did you stop me just now? With our ability, couldn't we just tie this guy up?" The young man who had just been stopped by Tan Guang became angry again.

"Do you think I don't want to? This is someone else's territory. Even Yang Dan was defeated by the other side. What can we five outsiders do?" Tan Guang replied unhappily.

"I think it's better to find someone to threaten him. If he doesn't hand over the things, someone will take action against his family." The young man said again.

"Haha, his father is more powerful than those in our family. Do you still want to touch his family?" Tan Guang covered his mouth and laughed, as if he was mocking the other party for his poor brain.

"It's okay. Since he wants to make friends, then make friends with him. I don't think this guy has discovered the secret in the card yet, otherwise he would have used it to threaten us long ago." The man with glasses waved his hand.

The remaining four people did not answer, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The five of them were not united in the first place, and they originally wanted to get the things from Chen Xi so that they could threaten the remaining four companies. Now that several people have joined forces, the actual effect is not as good as that of one person.

This is because the fathers of the five people do not want the things to fall into the hands of one family, so it would be better for the five families to supervise and control each other.

Chen Xi walked out of the coffee shop, looked at the surrounding streets, and found that this place was very close to Huade, so he started the car and headed towards the industrial park.

Huade Industrial Park.

I haven't been here for just a few months, and it seems like a lot has changed here.

The building was no different, but there seemed to be fewer employees.

The security guard was still the same, but he was not as active as the last time we met. He was lying on the chair like a pile of mud, sleeping soundly with a newspaper covering his head.

"Beep, beep." Chen Xi honked the horn unhappily.

The young security guard jumped up from his chair and wanted to curse loudly, but when he saw that the person coming was the young master, he immediately ran over.

"Why are you sleeping at work? If the chairman sees this, I can't protect you." Chen Xi said earnestly.

"The chairman hasn't been to the factory for a long time, so he wouldn't have noticed." The security guard took the cigarette Chen Xi gave him with a playful smile, and took out a lighter to light it for the other party.

"You haven't been to the factory for a long time? Tell me what happened."

"Many old employees in the factory have passed away recently, and then I heard that...the...chairman's...new wife...seems to be pregnant..." The young security guard observed the other person's expression and answered hesitantly.

"What?"

"Master, please don't be angry. I just heard about it... I know you don't like that woman..."

"I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about why everyone in the factory left." Chen Xi waved his hand.

"The factory was in chaos a while ago. The chairman came to the factory less and less frequently. Many people felt that there was no future for them following such a boss, so they secretly took advantage of the company..."

"Then he doesn't care?"

"Haha, no one is here yet, how can I know? You should still ask other people for details. I'm just a gatekeeper." The security guard smiled awkwardly.

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Xi walked straight inside.

It was indeed as the security guard said, the workers in the factory were a bit lazy, playing cards and chatting.

In the past, Chen Mingli would have scolded loudly if he had seen this situation, but after looking for a long time, he did not see this uncle.

When the workers saw Chen Xi coming, they greeted him and then sat down to do what they were doing.

I ran to Chen Kaiwen's office and took a look. It was empty, and the same was true for Huang Jingfang's office.

When we arrived at the finance office, Dou Fang was working there.

"Auntie Dou, what's going on at the factory? Why are my uncle and the others not here?" Chen Xi got straight to the point as soon as they met.

"Hey, your dad is too busy managing the company now...your grandpa has diabetes and is resting at home. Your grandma is obsessed with worshiping Buddha and goes to the temple for several days every week. Your uncle's mind is full of stock speculation and cleaning up his son's mess, and he didn't come to work today. As for your third uncle...you know." Dou Fang told the situation of several people in one breath.

This is similar to the previous life. Grandpa has diabetes and has to rest at home and take insulin from time to time. An old Buddhist temple in Xinlu was renovated. I don't know how my grandmother got addicted to it. Chen Zhou picked up girls every day and spent a lot of money. Naturally, my uncle was busy filling his hole. As for Chen Jingrui, he must be either playing cards outside or playing college students in the art school.

Chairman Chen Yifeng is probably completely in the land of gentleness now. After Zhang Xuan became pregnant, he was brainwashed and turned into a "good husband" for no reason.

"The factory is unattended now. Do Leo and his German gang have any objections?"

"Of course he did. He came several times, but the chairman just said he knew. Leo never came again..."

"Let me check the accounts." "The current situation is not very good. We still have a lot of orders. But several CEOs in charge of overseas regions have resigned, and the equipment in the factory has had problems, so we are now unable to deliver the goods. Your father is now...all those who tell the truth in the company have been driven away by him, and those who remain can only flatter." Dou Fang sighed and stood up to give up his seat.

After Chen Xi sat down, he began to look through the files on the computer.

At this time, in a community in HK.

"Listen, the baby is calling daddy." Zhang Xuan was lying on the sofa with a big belly.

Chen Yifeng lay on the sofa with his ears pressed against his belly, with no other expression on his face except a silly smile.

If an outsider saw it, he would definitely be shocked.

The boss, who is usually serious, now acts like a fool.

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked again: "Yifeng, do you like boys or girls?"

"Girl." Chen Yifeng answered without thinking.

The Chen family has never had a girl for generations, and he already has a son, so what he wants most is actually a girl.

"What if this isn't a girl?"

"Then let's have another one."

"You're going to tire me to death. I'm stupid and can't do anything. I lost all the money you gave me last time, wuwuwu~" Zhang Xuan began her performance.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money. The stock market is changing rapidly. I have never seen many people who can make money in the stock market. It is normal for you to lose money..." Chen Yifeng waved his hand.

He hated stock speculation the most, thinking it was all a scam. In the past, he would have been furious. How could he tolerate the money he gave to Zhang Xuan to open a gallery being used to speculate in stocks?

But at this time, Chen Yifeng felt that it was nothing. Compared to being able to have a daughter, this little money was just what he should pay.

"You said that if I had too many children, Chen Xi would definitely be unhappy. Two more children means he would have two less properties."

"How old is he? He still wants me to give him money? It's funny. I've grown up like this, but the old man has never given me money." Chen Yifeng snorted coldly.

"Your father has diabetes now..."

"Oh, you are so kind. He is the only one in the family who is most strongly opposed to you marrying in, and you still care about him..." Chen Yifeng sighed.

"Don't stay here with me. Let's go back to Xinlu. Work is more important."

Zhang Xuan's words reminded Chen Yifeng that he had been in Hong Kong for a long time and had forgotten that he still had things to deal with in the company. He took out his mobile phone to check the flight and decided to go back tomorrow.

In the evening, Chen Xi returned home and sat on the sofa.

Chen Caiyue was sitting nearby playing with her dog and watching a TV series. Seeing her son not talking, she stretched out her foot and kicked him: "You haven't said a word since you came home. Are you heartbroken?"

"What kind of heartbreak? I went to Ward today and it was a mess..." Chen Xi told what he saw today.

"Humph, your father is like this. He drives away those who tell the truth and do good for him, but he likes to keep those who deceive him. I think this company will be ruined sooner or later. Then again, those people who left Huade didn't report to me. Where did they go?"

"Where else can I go? Of course I should start my own business. The domestic market is a mess now. There are many brands of machine tools on the market, and many of them come from small workshops. But they are good at marketing and advertising." Chen Xi frowned.

"Let's not talk about this for now. What is your relationship with Saori and Shanshan? Let me tell you, you have a girlfriend now, so don't do anything out of line with Shanshan again... Our two families are acquaintances, and I don't want to be ashamed to see her mother in the future." Chen Caiyue pinched her son's arm.

She recently discovered that Chen Xi rarely went home, and every time he called, he said he was staying overnight at Zhao Lingshan's place, which was simply nonsense.

"I know, I know. We two haven't done anything, it's all clean." Chen Xi stammered out a sentence.

"Don't just talk about me, how are you and Uncle Fang going?"

"What progress? Do you, a junior, want you to take care of your elders' affairs? He has a lot of business and is very busy recently. We just contact each other by phone." Chen Caiyue's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Although she is divorced now, she still feels a little uncomfortable about finding another man to marry so soon.

"Forget it if you don't want to. He knows so many people around the world. Next time I go to him for help, I'll ask him in person."

"Go to hell, you're just making fun of my mom."

"Woof woof woof!" Chen Caiyue pretended to hit her son, but the puppy in her arms suddenly barked, as if to cheer him up.

"You stupid dog, you just take advantage of the people around you. I'll teach you a lesson when no one is around." Chen Xi tapped the dog's head with his hand and trotted upstairs.

I went back to the room, took out my phone, opened WeChat and clicked on the classmates group.

Now that we have new software, the usage rate of QQ has gradually decreased, and old classmates have also been pulled into a new group.

"Oh my, in all these years in Australia, there are only a few who have successfully graduated."

"Haha, I bought a fake ID, otherwise my dad would beat my ass to pieces."

Allen and the Lu brothers were chatting in the group.

Seeing his classmates returning home one after another, Allen, who had no interest in studying, finally chose to buy a fake certificate.

"Alas, the domestic listing rules for companies are somewhat distorted. Good companies cannot be listed, and most of the companies that can be listed are junk companies. The bosses use all kinds of tricks to go public and make money. How can there be a future like this? Our company, such an excellent company, is not approved for listing. I'm so angry." Wang Anmeng complained.

Indeed, she is right. Just think about it, a junk company with a share price of one dollar is hyped up to one hundred dollars. If you are a major shareholder, you will definitely cash out at the high point. But if your company is capable, you will definitely continue to hold it.

Hongxing Technology is one of the top wheel manufacturers in the world, with excellent performance. However, it cannot be approved for listing. Instead, those junk companies have passed the review. It is really funny.

"What are you planning to do after returning to China?" Chen Xi also joined the group chat.

"Of course it's to do business. Otherwise, why would I come back? I might as well be a salted fish in Australia!" The younger brother Lu Chengxian is a very thoughtful person, while the older brother Lu Tengyang is a Buddhist person.

"This business is not easy to do right now." Chen Xi typed a few words.

"We have to do it even if it's not easy. Otherwise, who will inherit our family business in the future?" Allen sighed, and then continued, "Our construction industry is really booming in China, so my family wanted to take on foreign business, but many of our compatriots abroad are also competing for our jobs."

"Who says it's not? The Chinese people's business thinking is very strange. If the market price of an order is 600, the Chinese will quote 200. They think that they can get more orders with their low price, but they never thought that what used to be one order a day has now become three orders. They are still complacent and think they have business acumen." Jin Yufeng also interjected.

"So we have to innovate and not enter the low-end market so that they can't take advantage of us." Lu Chengxian put forward his own idea.

"Don't you sell socks? Is there a high-end market for socks?"

"Of course, I plan to cooperate with big brands to produce things like stockings and shark pants. We are now ranked second in the country, and I have already boasted in front of my family that I will be number one in the country within three years." In front of the phone, Lu Chengxian raised his head proudly.

Not only him, but every one of the students who returned to China was full of confidence, just like Chen Xi in his previous life.

Looking at his classmates' bold words, Chen Xi on the other end of the phone sighed silently.

After returning to China, these people started their own businesses with greater fanfare than anyone else, but almost all of them ended up in failure.

On the contrary, those students who originally had no idea and wanted to be insignificant ended up becoming rich inexplicably.

For example, one of them is Cheng Xihe, the girl that Jin Yufeng has always been pursuing.

After returning to China, she inherited her family's foreign trade company, and the income from selling cosmetics was enough for her to spend for several lifetimes.

"I see that none of you have a diploma, so you will have to go back to school in the end." Chen Xi sent another message.

"Reading? That doesn't exist."

"I don't want to study. I want to be a big boss."

The students all shook their heads.

Why would you go back to school when you have already returned to your country?
Little did they know that after these people failed in their business ventures, their fathers sent them to domestic universities to study again. Of course, some of them were just nominal students.

The next day, Chen Xi came to Chen Kaiwen's door carrying several boxes of health products.

"Ding Dong." The doorbell was pressed, but there was no response from inside. (End of this chapter)
