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

Chapter 79: Doing these unpresentable jobs
Chen Xi sat beside Shen Xinyi's bed, and both of them didn't know what to say.

Normally at school, they always had endless things to talk about, but now they fell into an awkward silence.

The smell in Shen Xinyi's room was very pleasant, very similar to the smell on her body, an indescribable faint fragrance.

This fragrance made Chen Xi feel inexplicably comfortable and relaxed.

"Drip drip."

Suddenly, the phone rang. Chen Xi opened it and saw that it was his father calling. His face immediately darkened, and he was full of dissatisfaction with this man.

"I'm going out to take a call."

Chen Xi picked up the phone absentmindedly and said something.

Shen Xinyi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

She also felt that the atmosphere just now was too awkward. Why did Zhang Ruoxi call him home?
"Hello." Chen Xi pressed the answer button and spoke in a slightly cold tone.

"What? You seem listless every time I talk to you. Did you stay up all night playing games again? How did you do in the exam this time?"

My father's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Every time he called, he would always scold me.

From childhood to adulthood, his father's attitude towards him has always been extremely strict. To put it nicely, he is rigorous, and to put it bluntly, he is nitpicking.

When answering the phone, he always asked to use the formal terms used in TV dramas, such as: "Hello, this is the Chen Mansion."

When texting with his family, he would also use very formal wording, just like a subordinate reporting to his superior.

Chen Xi could never understand that he was clearly his son, not his employee.

This treatment made him feel somewhat depressed and dissatisfied.

"I'm asking you a question. What are you thinking about? International calls cost six dollars a minute. You don't know how to save money at all. You're learning bad things by hanging out with those losers every day."

Seeing that Chen Xi did not respond immediately, his father's tone became even more severe.

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. You are already a billionaire, and you still care about these six dollars? It's really funny.

This really illustrates the saying: the richer a person is, the stingier he is.

"It's OK. I can pass. I didn't play games. I studied hard."

Chen Xi thought about it. The results haven't come out yet. There is no problem in passing, but he has no idea how much he will get.

"What do you mean by passing? There is an employee in my company whose daughter is also studying in Mo Village. She is receiving a scholarship. With your poor condition, I was hoping that you would come back to manage the company after you finish your studies."

The dissatisfied voice from the other end of the phone sounded again, and Chen Xi couldn't help but sneer after hearing it.

Not only did you make big promises to your employees, you also made big promises to me. I believed your lies before, but now you used my mother's money to support your new wife.

Chen Xi's father was a son-in-law who married into the family of a poor man. He used sweet words to marry Chen Xi's mother.

Even when starting a business, the resources were provided by his wife.

However, he still tried to save face outside, claiming that he was self-made.

Perhaps because he grew up in poverty and shadow, Chen Xi's father was full of inferiority and strong self-esteem.

This self-esteem made him stubborn and rebellious.

As his business grew, he began to seek a vengeful sense of satisfaction and became a so-called "traitor".

"I understand." Chen Xi responded briefly.

Although my father is divorced now, it has not been long, he has not remarried, and he has not moved out of the house. At the same time, he and my mother are sleeping in separate rooms.

Although these situations made Chen Xi feel a little uncomfortable, at present, his father was still quite nice to him. Therefore, he did not choose to mock his father.

"Well, last time you told me that you didn't want to go to college anymore and wanted to start a logistics company in China. I advise you not to think about this. I spent so much money to let you study abroad, and you come back to China to work as a driver and move goods? Are you crazy to do such a cheap job?"

Chen Xi was confused after hearing this. He recalled that he had proposed this idea to his father when he returned to China after graduating from high school.

At that time, he felt that the logistics industry would definitely be a profitable business in the future.

However, my father disagreed with this. He believed that logistics was a low-class job and not worthy of being presented in public.

Previously, Chen Xi had suggested opening a fast food chain, but his father also thought that this was just a job of serving tea and water to people.

In Chen Xi's view, these businesses are good ways to make money, but in his father's eyes they are jobs that have no status and are not presentable.

This was one of the constant points of contention between him and his father.

His father firmly believed that doing business must be high-end and classy, ​​such as running galleries, auction houses, technology and other industries.

In short, the grade must be high, this is the prerequisite.

Whether or not you can make money is another matter.

"Oh, I see." Chen Xi responded simply.

He does not expect investment or other support from the other party.

In my previous life, I kept talking back and trying to convince others, which now seems ridiculous.

It is extremely difficult to change a person's mind, especially for the older generation.

The gap between the two generations makes such an attempt more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"Well, that's it. I'll hang up first." Father Chen on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.

He had prepared a lot of words to teach Chen Xi a lesson, but it turned out to be like a fist hitting cotton. Chen Xi did not react as he expected or talk back or argue.

Before, this would last for an hour or so.

Father Chen felt very bored and could only pick up the landline phone on the table and said, "Meeting in ten minutes."

He could only pour out what he had been holding back in the meeting and teach others a lesson.

"What's wrong with you? Your face doesn't look good."

After finishing the call, Chen Xi sighed deeply and returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart.

Shen Xinyi saw his expression and asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's a call from home." Chen Xi sat on the bed with some unhappiness.

"You have a bad relationship with your family?"

“The relationship with my father was not good.”

Chen Xi answered casually, but did not stay on this topic for too long.

"It's time for dinner, time for dinner!"

As Zhang Ruoxi's voice rang out, she stood at the door in an apron, holding a spatula in her hand, like a cute little cook.

If Dongdong saw this, he would probably become extremely beastly.

Dongdong likes girls who are delicate and good at cooking, but Zhang Ruoxi has a lively personality and he doesn't know if Dongdong can handle her.

"Let me hug you."

Chen Xi stood up and walked to the bed. Regardless of Shen Xinyi's refusal, he directly carried her like a princess and put her down in front of the dining table in the living room.

Shen Xinyi's cheeks flushed. This was the second time that Chen Xi treated her like this.

She has a cold personality and usually keeps a distance from boys, but Chen Xi is the only boy she is willing to get close to.
