Chapter 253
"Let's go! Let's eat." Ouyang Ming obviously didn't want to continue discussing this topic and waved his hand quickly.
"I have something to do at the company later, so let's eat something near the school." Gou Zi said, looking at the time.
There is a lot of business in Richmond and he is a little overwhelmed.
"What's wrong? Is things not going well recently?" Chen Xi raised his head and looked at him. He remembered that the company's business was fine.
"No big problem, just that a few old employees from Yueguo resigned recently, saying they wanted to start their own business."
"Ha, are you paying too much? My dad wouldn't pay his employees that much. Everyone wants to be a boss, and once they have money, they want to work on their own. You can't do that."
As soon as Gou Zi finished speaking, Chen Xu interrupted and teased.
"No, it's just a little more than other places, but not enough to do business. I asked others, and some of them said it was given by their families, and some said they won the lottery. They don't know how to make excuses. I guess other places must offer higher prices."
"Well, you can arrange it yourself."
After hearing Gou Zi's explanation, Chen Xi didn't think much about it. There are so many people who resigned, and they all made excuses. Anyway, as long as they have no opinion on the company, it's fine. Otherwise, if they go out and talk nonsense, it will damage the company's image.
A man and a woman were sitting in a Chinese restaurant near the university.
"Li Xin, what exactly do you want to talk about by asking me out today?"
"I've made it very clear."
"Why can't I understand? It's so vague, as if it's hinting at the relationship between us?"
"Xinyi, you are a smart girl, you should understand."
"Sorry, please call me by my full name next time. We are not that kind of relationship yet."
"But Chen Xi also calls you that, doesn't he?"
"That's different."
Shen Xinyi lowered her head and ate the food on the plate. In fact, she had no appetite at all, but she just didn't want to look Li Xin in the eye.
Li Xin still had that expressionless face, but there was more emotion in his eyes than before.
"You've acquiesced, haven't you? You like Chen Xi."
"There are some things I don't want to answer. It's impossible between the two of us."
"So do you like Chen Xi?"
"Yes, I just like Chen Xi. Even though he has a girlfriend, I still like him! Even though our families introduced us to each other, we are not suitable for each other."
Shen Xinyi said with some excitement.
"Chen Xi, someone said they like you!"
"Haha, you're really a worry. You have a girlfriend, but you're still stealing other girls' hearts."
"Chen Xi, what should I say to my family members when I see them next time?"
At this moment, Shen Xinyi heard the teasing voices of several boys.
When he looked back, he found Chen Xi and others standing behind him.
Li Xin actually saw Chen Xi coming in a long time ago, but he did not remind Shen Xinyi.
Shen Xinyi quickly turned her head and glared angrily at the annoying icy face in front of her.
Now she just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and speak her mind in front of so many people. The most important thing was that Chen Xi was still there.
"Xinyi...you...are eating here too." Chen Xi greeted her awkwardly.
"Well, just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now. Go eat, your friends are waiting!" Shen Xinyi lowered her head, her eyes somewhat evasive.
"Yeah." Chen Xi responded, not knowing what to say, so he just nodded and left.
"I'm leaving first." Shen Xinyi took out a bill from her wallet and slapped it on the table. Then she stood up with a trembling body, quickly opened the door of the restaurant, and left in a hurry.
"Pay the bill!" Li Xin glanced at Shen Xinyi who was leaving, then glanced at Chen Xi in the distance, and then silently called the waiter.
"What's going on between you and that girl?"
"I've met her a few times. She's pretty and many boys have a crush on her."
"My baby Liya is also very beautiful."
Several people were discussing curiously, while Ouyang Ming curled his lips. In his mind, Liya's appearance was comparable to the other party.
"Nothing, friend." Chen Xi didn't explain much.
At the same time, Shi Tao was buying a sandwich in the Subway next to the restaurant.
"Hey, handsome! Hello, I'm Li Yuqing."
"Well, hello!"
When Shi Tao heard someone calling someone "handsome guy", he immediately assumed it was him and turned around quickly.
A beautiful girl wearing hot pants and a pink T-shirt appeared in front of him. Shi Tao remembered that this girl had taken the same class with him.
"You're buying sandwiches here! They look delicious. Any recommendations?"
"Ha, I added each type of meat in once."
Li Yuqing looked at the sandwich full of meat in Shi Tao's hand and felt a little disgusted. Apart from two slices of cucumber, there were almost no other vegetables in the sandwich.
"Where are you from?"
"Jiangcheng."
"What a coincidence! I'm also from Jiangcheng. It's so rare to meet fellow villagers here..."
Shi Tao was chewing a sandwich while chatting with Li Yuqing. Since they were from the same city, they soon found common topics.
However, Li Yuqing despised Shi Tao in her heart. In her opinion, Shi Tao came from the district on the other side of the river, where the buildings were old and the roads were congested, and it was only because of some famous schools that it became famous.
In comparison, she considered herself to be an authentic old Jiangcheng person, and Shi Tao was no different from an outsider. This idea gave her a sense of superiority.
"There will be an auction in a few days, let's go and take a look then." Chen Xu remembered that Max had talked to him about this that day.
Since Chen Xi bought two plots of land last time, he took out a loan to buy another one, and now he has a total of three plots of land. He was not in a hurry, and he could go and take a look with Gou Zi, so he agreed.
Now the building approval for the house has been successfully obtained. The construction team he found was introduced by Max. They are all Chinese, so there is no need to worry about the construction speed.
Through Max's communication, 300,000 yuan can build a pretty good house. Then there will be no need to live in an apartment. The only disadvantage may be that there will be more bugs.
The loan interest rates in Australia are very low now. Several people at the dinner table strongly suggested that Ouyang Ming also buy a piece of land. He had originally refused, but now he was somewhat shaken.
Chen Xi secretly found it funny. Ouyang Ming was a person who was easily deceived. As long as the other party threw out a little temptation, he would change his mind.
The meal was a relaxing and enjoyable one, and everyone showed great interest in the future real estate career.
On weekends, Qiangui KTV.
"Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
"Yeah, you two brothers, don't you usually like to stay at home and play games on weekends?"
Today they were called here by the two brothers Lu Chengxian and Lu Tengyang, as if there was something important to announce.
Lu Chengxian had said on the phone before that those who were brothers should come, and everyone thought that a fight was going to happen because this kind of thing happened in high school.
All the good players in high school were present today, and everyone gave Lu Chengxian some face.
Chen Xi naturally knew what was going to happen next.
"Let me say a few words. Everyone present here today is my brother. I, Lu Chengxian, will remember your names for the rest of my life." Lu Chengxian stood on the table and shouted while holding the microphone. He was not tall to begin with, so he did not look out of place standing there.
"What's going on? You're so drunk even without drinking any alcohol?" Alan was a little confused.
"Teng Yang and I are ready to return home!" Lu Chengxian took a deep breath, as if he had made an important decision.
"Ah? You're going back to your country before you finish your studies?" With a good academic performance like Xiao Ming, he would naturally be concerned about studying first.
"I'm not going to read anymore! It's a waste of time. People like me are not suitable for studying at all." Lu Chengxian vented while holding the microphone.
"You can't just go back with a high school diploma."
"My family has arranged for me to go to Wulin and study at a school."
"Don't you still need to study?"
"You don't have to go to school, haha! I feel like I'm a little mentally broken lately."
No one knew what had stimulated Lu Chengxian, and he started saying something that no one could understand.
"What about Tengyang? Are you going back too?" Someone looked at cousin Lu Tengyang again.
"Well, if Cheng Xian goes back, I'll go back too."
"Come on, drink! Sing!"
As soon as Lu Tengyang finished speaking, his cousin Lu Chengxian jumped off the table and started ordering songs.
Everyone was in a bad mood. This was not the first time someone had returned to China. The first time was when someone dropped out of high school, and everyone was sad and upset for a long time. Now someone else is leaving, so naturally everyone feels bad.
In a foreign country, after so many years of companionship, it is natural that there is affection.
Jin Yufeng and Lu Chengxian have a very good relationship. He doesn't drink much, but today he might be in a high mood, his face is red from drinking, and he chatted with Lu Cheng for a long time.
"When I was in China, I had money! I was the boss in school, and people around me surrounded me, fawned on me, and flattered me. But when I came here, I felt completely different. Everyone's family background is similar, you are sincere in making friends with me, you fight with others for me, I will remember it all my life..." After drinking a bottle of wine, Lu Cheng talked more and more, and began to speak from his heart.
All the students listened silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Chen Xi knew that the departure of the two brothers Lu Chengxian was a precedent, and the rest of the students would return home one after another.
Only about half of them actually complete college.
After returning to China, these students got admitted to a university through their family connections, and then they all started their own businesses.
In his previous life, although he had experienced separation from every classmate, Chen Xi still felt a little uncomfortable.
This is different from a class reunion when you return home. Now you share your life, but when you go back you reminisce about every little detail of your school days.
In the past, because we had no vested interests, we always maintained the friendship among classmates.
This life is different. Dongdong and Xiaoming both started business with him, and he is not sure whether their relationship can continue.
Chen Xi was once strongly opposed to doing business with his friends. However, painful experiences in his previous life forced him to reconsider in this life.
This may be a kind of trade-off and choice in life. He is not sure about the future, but he still hopes that they can maintain the pure friendship between classmates.
People face choices and trade-offs at all times in their lives. Now he just wants to defeat Chen Yifeng, so his considerations and choices are naturally different from before.
"Next, let's all sing a song called "Friends". I hope we can sing this song every time we get together in the future!"
Lu Chengxian held the microphone, and a familiar melody filled the entire box.
His words came true, and since then, the songs "Friends" and "Brothers" have become must-sing songs at every gathering.
"Friends walk together for life
No more in those days
One sentence for a lifetime
A glass of wine for a lifetime of love
Friends are never lonely
Call me friend and you will understand
There are still injuries and pain
I still have to go..."
"cheers!"
"I won't come home until I get drunk tonight!"
"Hey, I'm not going to class tomorrow!"
"Go to class!"
Everyone was getting excited, and both boys and girls started drinking.
This is the last gathering of all high school members in Australia.
Chen Xi was also drunk. He and Saori hugged each other, and he didn't even know how he got home in the end.
