Chapter 667: Secret War at the Dinner Table

Chapter 667: Secret War at the Dinner Table

"Chen Xi, I heard that you are the vice president of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association. I have just joined the association. Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Zhang Yi looked at the man and suddenly spoke.

"There's nothing to pay attention to. Just don't do anything illegal to bring shame to the association." In his previous life, Chen Xi didn't like this girl very much. Although she was Xiao Ming's girlfriend, he still didn't want to talk to this woman, so his answer was also very indifferent.

Zhang Yi's voice is that of a clip, and she does it on purpose. Chen Xi hates clips the most. Every time he sees a girl pretending to be so in front of him, he feels a little pain in his ears.

"I think the atmosphere in the association group is a bit weird." Zhang Yi asked relentlessly.

"Oh? What's strange?" Chen Xi raised his eyelids.

"It feels like the three leaders are recruiting people separately."

"Oh."

Chen Xi responded without explaining anything, but he was not very calm in his heart.

Anyone who has just joined the association can now feel the tension inside, which shows that the Overseas Returnees Association currently gives people a rather disharmonious feeling.

This is not a good thing. First, it will make new members feel uncomfortable. Second, increasingly fierce internal struggles will also affect the development of the association.

What's more, Yang Xiao's Dahua New Returnees Association was watching covetously, which made Chen Xi feel a sense of crisis again.

He thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Which side do you want to join?"

"I don't know. I saw the Secretary-General sent me a lot of friendly messages!" Zhang Yi smiled.

Humph, this woman has so many thoughts.

Chen Xi snorted in his heart, picked up a piece of meat skewer and stuffed it into his mouth, eating while saying: "Are you trying to say that you are Xiao Ming's girlfriend now, so you naturally have to stand on my side?"

Zhang Yi was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Chen Xi to bring this up directly. But soon her expression changed. She looked at Xiao Ming tenderly and said to Chen Xi, "Of course, I'm Daddy's girlfriend, so I have to stand on your side."

Zhang Yi was talking about you guys, not you.

Chen Xi didn't say anything and continued to eat meat.

He understood that this woman was very cunning and possessive.

Because she wants to have Xiao Ming all to herself, she sometimes even destroys Xiao Ming's network of relationships so that she can be alone with him.

This was the case in the previous life. Because of some trivial matters, the relationship between Huang Rui and Xiao Ming broke down, and the two had no contact for many years.

But Xiao Ming is the type of man who loves his wife dearly. No matter how you explain the problem to him, he won't listen.

"Zhang Yi is a few years younger than us and has not been in Australia very long. We can go out more often and take her to see the scenery here." Xiao Ming said while hugging his girlfriend.

However, Zhang Yi did not want to end the fight with Chen Xi. She turned her head to the side and looked at Saori and asked, "Sister, you are from Sakura Country. You are so beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Um...no...no." Saori answered hesitantly.

The other people all looked a little strange when they heard this, and they all stole glances at Chen Xi next to them.

This scene happened to be captured by Zhang Yi.

Soon, she looked at Shen Xinyi again: "Senior, I saw you won an award on the school poster before. You are so amazing. Do you have a boy you like?"

"Um...no..." Shen Xinyi shook her head slightly and glanced at Chen Xi guiltily.

What the hell is this woman doing?
Chen Xi and Zhang Yi have known each other for a long time, and he immediately understood that this woman was trying to cause trouble.

"Well, it's getting late and we have things to do tomorrow. Let's finish eating, clean up and go to bed." Chen Xi coughed lightly, wanting to end the dinner quickly.

When they met for the first time, Zhang Yi thought that she didn't want to make the relationship too awkward, so she chose to call a truce.

Chen Xi lit a cigarette and tilted his head to watch Zhang Yi's departing back.

He felt that this woman's behavior today was a little abnormal. It was obviously not like this when they met in their last life.

After finding an excuse to go out shopping, Chen Xi got into Dongdong's car and went with him to send Zhang Ruoxi and others home.

"How is Xiao Ming's girlfriend?" Chen Xi asked after getting in the car.

"What else can she do? She's not as pretty as my Ruoxi!" Dongdong directly expressed his thoughts. Xiao Ming was not in the car anyway.

"You're being quite sweet today." Zhang Ruoxi happily patted Dongdong's face.

"I don't have any idea." Shen Xinyi shook her head and added: "Jin Nana..."

She had already learned about the little stick boy's matter, and Shen Xinyi was very curious about what Chen Xi would do next.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Chen Xi put his hands behind his back and hugged the back of his head.

"Hengxiao Group and Xu Yun have been very active recently. Their company has been recruiting overseas students..."

"how do you know?"

"Li Xin came to me and asked me if I wanted to work at Hengxiao after graduation. He said that with Hengxiao's current development speed, it would definitely help me realize my dream."

"Li Xin?"

Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this.

How come this guy is involved with Heng Xiao Group again?

The last time he saw Li Xin and Thomas sitting together in a small restaurant, eating and chatting. Could it be that Thomas was also together with Xu Yun?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but frowned.

"Li Xin predicts that domestic housing prices will probably continue to rise for about ten years, and then they will stop rising. He suggests that we should focus on investing funds in the country now, keep part of the funds in Australia for development, and finally transfer the money from the country here..." Shen Xinyi added.

Hearing this, Chen Xi was shocked. This Li Xin could actually analyze the future situation.

I have to say, his calculation was pretty close.

"Well, what else did he say?" Chen Xi also became serious now.

"He said that we are all architectural designers, and the place where we can finally display our talents is definitely abroad, because the architectural style in China is a bit restrictive, and there are many problems in engineering... Overseas real estate should be the focus of attention in the future."

"He likes you and wants to take you abroad in the future!" Chen Xi covered his mouth and laughed.

Shen Xinyi didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes.

Zhang Ruoxi secretly observed the expressions of the two people through the rearview mirror, and laughed secretly in the front row from time to time.

After sending the two girls home, Chen Xi took a shower and lay down on the bed.

"My brother is gone." Jin Nana said without turning her head while looking at her phone.

"Huh? This guy actually listened to the advice and went back?" Chen Xi felt a little unbelievable.

According to Kim Junsu's personality, he wouldn't be so obedient.

"He is returning to his country to deal with things."

"what's up?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a problem with the domestic automobile platform." "Your country of Korea can't make a big automobile platform unless you can let the guy from the north join in." Chen Xi laughed.

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course I did, but why should I tell him?"

"If my brother can build a platform in China, he will definitely not oppose what we do." Jin Nana had a beautiful thought.

"Come on, think about it, who owns his platform? It belongs to SK Group. Who is the prince of SK Group? It's his favorite brother-in-law. Your brother and he are partners. Whether the platform succeeds or not, he will not agree for us two to be together." Chen Xi pinched Jin Nana's little face, thinking that this Korean was really stupid.

The Jin family now wants to cling to the Cui family for marriage. How much money can they make from a small automobile platform?

This kind of thing cannot influence the union of the two families at all. To be more precise, the stakes are too small.

"Then how can I get my family to agree with our relationship..." Jin Nana muttered softly.

"Don't you understand this? Your family cares about the family's interests. They are willing to have as their son-in-law whoever can bring them benefits. So, don't have those random thoughts every day. Let me make good money!" Chen Xi painted a big pie for the woman.

This way, Jin Nana won’t always lose her temper and cause trouble in the future.

"Yeah, that makes sense. You have to make money well, and when I make a lot of money, I will give it to you. In this way, your ability will be recognized by my parents." Hearing this, Jin Nana nodded slightly.

"Your train of thought... forget it, let's go to sleep." Looking at the woman next to him, Chen Xi decisively chose to turn off the lights and rest.

"You said you just went out to buy something. What did you buy? Did you go out to send Shen Xinyi home? I always felt that she seemed to be interested in you." In the darkness, the voice of the person beside her sounded again.

"Just now you said you wanted to strengthen my strength so that I could gain your parents' approval, but now, just a few seconds later, you're weakening me again."

"No, no, go to bed quickly. My dear, you have to work hard tomorrow, and I will work hard too." Jin Nana smiled and quickly closed her eyes.

Haha, this woman changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

Chen Xi found it a little funny, turned over and gradually fell asleep.

A few days later, City, ToFuture Education Group headquarters.

“How about this new office? It’s right next to Melbourne Central, and it’s surrounded by study abroad agencies, RMIT and the University of Melbourne, as well as a bunch of miscellaneous universities and language classes. I’ll just nail our headquarters here so that everyone can see our sign!” Alin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed at the bustling scene outside.

This is a seven-story building near QV shopping mall. It is not very old and the facilities are relatively new. A huge billboard with the words "Future Education" printed on it is hung outside the building, making the company's name particularly eye-catching in the public eye.

"You must have spent a lot of money. This place is very expensive!" Chen Xi asked while drinking coffee.

"good."

"Why haven't the people for the meeting arrived yet?"

"It's not time yet. Those foreigners like to come at a specific time."

"Where's Mr. Yu?"

"He'll be there soon. He said he wanted to go shopping alone."

Alin looked at his watch and then looked down the window.

A few minutes later, Yu Hong came in with the assistant.

"Not bad, not bad. The environment is beautiful and the educational atmosphere is very strong. No wonder some people say that for eating, drinking and having fun, go to Xi Village, and for studying and retirement, go to Mo Village!" Yu Hong put a plastic bag on the table.

Chen Xi took a look and it seemed to be a packaging bag from a bookstore.

It seems that Yu Hong likes buying books as much as he does. He always buys a few books to collect in any country he goes to.

The bookshelves in Chen Xi's home are filled with precious books he collected from all over the world.

"This is Matthew, our future golden mentor for education." Alin pointed at the young man next to him.

"I've heard a lot about you, a lot about you." Yu Hong was extremely enthusiastic and kept shaking hands with Matthew.

"Mr. Yu, have you heard of me?" Matthew was slightly stunned. He had never seen Yu Hong before, and he didn't seem to be famous in China.

"I've heard people talk about you."

"Who?"

"A young man like you." Yu Hong said vaguely, obviously not wanting to explain more.

Just as a few people were chatting, a group of foreigners walked in.

They are the senior executives of IDP, the largest education group in Australia.

Today is a trilateral meeting to discuss how to achieve win-win cooperation.

With the booming development of the Internet and the increasing number of problems within the IDP Group, the company has to join forces with other education groups if it wants to stay stable.

Originally, IDP only wanted to cooperate with Future Education, but the conditions it proposed were rather harsh.

A-Lin and Chen Xi felt that if they relied on their own family, they would not be able to compete with the other party. When the IDP situation stabilized, they would definitely swallow them up.

It would be better to bring Yu Hong's new Fang Fang together to cooperate, so that we can not only gain more benefits, but also have the help of allies, just like the Shu and Wu families joined forces to fight against Wei in the past.

As an old education group, IDP still has considerable advantages.

It not only has a variety of mature teaching materials, but also has more than 500,000 students and branches in more than 30 countries around the world. It is also one of the three major organizers of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and jointly manages the IELTS test in China with the United Kingdom Council.

Xin Fang Fang is the leading education institution in China with countless students. IDP also values ​​this point, otherwise it would never agree to allow anyone to join.

"With the popularity of smart phones, many students now like to use mobile devices to look up information. Internet education will be a big market in the future, and our Future Education has achieved great success in this regard... I think that if our three parties cooperate, students need to purchase courses and look up information in a unified way, that is, to create a website and database, and make a jump link on the homepages of our three companies..." said Chen Xi.

"Who will pay for this? Who will be responsible for the subsequent maintenance?" asked a bald man from IDP.

"I think the three of us should contribute together!" Yu Hong thought about it and felt that he was quite sincere in discussing cooperation this time.

"We at IDP have so many perfect teaching materials. It's great that you're willing to put them out there. How could you even want us to pay for them?" The bald man looked a little unhappy.

Indeed, what he said makes sense.

In this regard, Xin Fangfang and Future Education combined are not as good as the other.

"I know that your IDP has many students and schools all over the world, but in terms of influence in China, it is still not as good as that of Xin Fangfang..." Yu Hong straightened up and introduced the strength of her company with full confidence.

Upon hearing this, the bald man also frowned.

He also knows this truth, but when it comes to cooperation, he definitely wants to get more benefits.

While the two sides were arguing, Chen Xi said, "No need to argue, we will do this at Future Education, and we will pay for it. You just need to provide information and publicity."

Baldy and Yu Hong were both stunned after hearing this.

The next second, Chen Xi said, "Of course, we can't let this hard work go in vain. Other terms need to be changed..."

In order to gain other benefits, Chen Xi could only take the initiative to take on this job that neither party was willing to do.

However, he also has an idea. To spend so much money on this thing, it is natural to provide benefits for future education. There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to attract traffic!
He plans to use this project not only to direct the user resources of IDP and Xinfangfang to future education, but also to pave the way for the future development of Tianya Forum. (End of this chapter)
