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

As soon as Chen Xi rushed out of the room, she saw a chubby man staring angrily at his phone.

Norbert's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

The price of lithium on the software has skyrocketed to outrageous levels.

If this trend continues, all of his new energy projects will fail.

With lithium prices skyrocketing, lithium batteries may become more expensive than cars in the future, making battery replacement a major problem for the new energy vehicles he sells.

Worse still, with battery prices rising, automakers are hesitant to produce cars, meaning no new vehicles will enter the Australian market.

He couldn't understand how he could not have heard a word about the numerous mines in Australia.

But none of that matters anymore; the root of the problem lies with that Chinese man—Chen Xi.

He had overheard the entire conversation at the door, and now that the culprit had suddenly appeared in front of him, Norbert instinctively spread his arms and stood in the middle of the road like a bear.

"That despicable fellow! A scoundrel who only knows how to play dirty tricks behind people's backs!" Norbert roared out his true feelings in a fit of rage.

"Neuropathy!"

"You fat pig, get out of the way!"

The man and woman, who were running, shouted almost at the same time, and then both kicked out.

The pampered Norbert couldn't withstand this double attack and was immediately kicked to the ground.

"Ah! You owe me my stock price!" Norbert shouted desperately as he lay on the ground.

But the two men ignored him and continued running forward.

Half an hour later, in a park.

"Nana, I..." Chen Xi had just opened her mouth when she was punched in the stomach.

"Holy shit..." Before he could recover, he was hit in the chest again.

"Bastard! Bastard, bastard!" Jin Nana kept pounding his chest with her small fists, choking back sobs as she did so.

When she was tired of hitting him, Chen Xi pulled her into his arms and said, "It's all my fault."

He didn't know what to say.

For Kim Na-na, marrying Choi Jong-saeng might have been the best choice.

But now, because of his selfishness, Jin Nana has chosen to go with him.

However, he already has Saori, Zhao Lingshan, and others by his side... which means that he cannot give his love completely to any of them, which is unfair to each of them.

"What about you... Saori? I..." Jin Nana lay in his arms, her voice muffled.

She is currently very conflicted, feeling as if she has betrayed her best friend.

“I’ve already told Saori about our relationship before… she…” Chen Xi didn’t know how to explain.

Saori's attitude has been constantly changing.

He initially opposed it, then neither opposed nor agreed, but after meeting Zhao Lingshan, he tacitly approved it.

Women are always so unpredictable.

"What you just said on stage... was it true? I thought you'd never liked me at all," Jin Nana asked, wiping her eyes.

“Of course it’s true.” Chen Xi nodded seriously.

"What do you like me?"

"I'm just a masochist. Other women don't hit me, but you do. I like being abused."

"..."

As the two were talking, several black cars suddenly surrounded them, and a group of men in suits got out and surrounded them.

Chen Xi had long understood that they had no way to escape.

The head of the town is only this big; if the enemy can hold the main roads, they will have nowhere to go.

"Let him go, I'll go back with you." Jin Nana pushed Chen Xi aside and said to the group of men in black.

"It's alright, little one. We can't resolve this if we don't clear things up today. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Chen Xi grabbed Jin Nana's hand.

The young man with a middle parting at the head bowed to Jin Na first, then said to Chen Xi, "The president wants to see you. Please come with us."

Chen Xi did not object and nodded.

It was evening in Jin Nana's study.

Looking at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him, Chen Xi couldn't help but think to himself: Kim Junsu and Kim Nana are both quite good-looking, so how come their older brother is so ordinary?
If it weren't for his charisma, he would look just like an ordinary young man from South Korea.

It's said that tycoons only choose beautiful women to marry in order to improve their genes. Is Jim Carrey a genetically mutated?

"What are your thoughts on what happened today? Did you find it particularly cool and exciting?" Jim Carrey tilted his head and looked at him.

"So-so, third in the world." Chen Xi grinned.

“I’ve heard about what happened. The cards you played were indeed good, but you still underestimated the Americans.”

"How to say?"

“I know you recently acquired a number of properties in Jeju Island, and during the negotiations you also mentioned that the United States wants to support a new leader. The current leader is under investigation, and there are many rumors circulating online that are unfavorable to her.”

"You've heard about the Jeju Island shipwreck three years ago, right?" Jim Carrey mentioned something that surprised Chen Xi.

He certainly knew about this incident; most people in the world have probably heard of it.

Several years ago, a ship carrying hundreds of people mysteriously sank after setting sail from Jeju Island, and almost all the tourists on board perished at sea.

There are many theories about the cause of the accident. Some say it was due to severe overloading, others say it was due to a mistake during a sharp turn or an open hatch, and some even claim it was a ceremony.

Regardless of the truth, the one who gets investigated will ultimately suffer...

Following this incident, a large amount of negative information about her circulated online.

"You mean..." Chen Xi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Well, a change of leadership is almost a done deal. The bargaining chips you've shown to the four major grain traders are decent, but you're overestimating yourself. The Americans can even oust our leader, let alone a businessman like you? Besides, why do you think the four major grain traders invited you to negotiate? They just want to buy time and slow down your offensive through negotiations. The more you make a scene, the more you can demonstrate your abilities once the new leader comes to power and solves the resource problem. If all else fails, they can just detain you here, fabricate some crime, and you won't be able to go back then." Jim Carrey chuckled.

"Ha, are you trying to scare me? I came here with permission from above. If I can't go back, relations between the two countries will probably deteriorate drastically." Chen Xi wasn't afraid at all; he had considered this issue before he came.

They wouldn't dare detain him here!
"He's a man of both courage and wisdom. Nana has good taste." Jim Carrey's eyes showed a hint of admiration. "Thank you for the compliment. You're much easier to get along with than your brother. He's ready to fight me the moment he sees me."

"Hehe, Junsu was spoiled by his family since he was a child, and he always thinks he is exceptionally capable. Little does he know that there are always people and families stronger than him. He will understand this in the future."

"So you called me here today because you want me to leave Jin Nana? Sorry, I can't do that."

“No… I know Nana’s temper very well. Even if you get rid of her, she won’t marry Choi Jong-saeng. Let’s just leave it at that. But you have to reconsider the four major grain merchants. It would be best if you agreed to their demands.” Jim Carrey’s words surprised Chen Xi.

Just like that, you agree to him being with Kim Nana?
Shouldn't we beat him up first, then throw him out and yell at him?

That's how it's portrayed in movies.

He couldn't understand it at all and asked, "Because of my actions, your two families' marriage alliance failed, and you're just going to let it go like this?"

"Who said the marriage alliance failed? We can try to salvage it again."

"What? Do it again? To fix it?" Chen Xi didn't understand.

"Ahem, if Nana isn't getting married, someone has to take her place. Junsu is still unmarried, so it's a good opportunity to arrange a marriage between him and the Choi family."

"Forehead……"

Chen Xi almost burst out laughing when he heard that.

Kim Junsu, you wanted to marry off your sister, but now you've become the one in the marriage alliance.

“I understand you might not accept what I just said. After all, we’ve been negotiating with the four major grain traders for so long, and everyone wants to gain something in return. You can decide that yourself, but the lithium mine issue needs to be resolved… Well, I won’t say any more.” Jim Carrey seemed a little embarrassed to continue.

"Don't worry, I have a large stockpile of ore in warehouses in Asia, which I can sell to you at a low price. The international market price can't drop too quickly right now, and I still have to deal with other companies, not just Carsales, but also many competitors." Chen Xi had actually guessed part of the reason for Jim Carrey's compromise long ago, but he had deliberately avoided mentioning the ore.

Inside Kim Junsu's room.

"Brother... I'm sorry." Kim Nana sat in the chair with her head down, not daring to look at Kim Junsu.

"A kick won't kill you, it's nothing." Kim Junsu waved his hand with a stern face.

"No... I heard from my older brother that you're going to marry someone from the Cui family..."

"Please, it's not a big deal. I'm not young anymore, and I'm going to get married anyway. If I don't marry someone from the Cui family, I'll have to marry someone from another family, right?" Kim Junsu shook his head.

“But…but…I heard that Cui Mizhen’s sister is serving in the military…” Jin Nana stammered.

Upon hearing this, Kim Junsu's lips twitched.

This matter really gave him a headache.

His own sister likes to fight, and now he wants to marry a tough woman who is also a soldier.

Cui Jiaming has three daughters, one of whom is already married and works as a singer.

In fact, no one knows exactly how many children Choi Jong-saeng's father had, because this guy would occasionally have an illegitimate daughter.

Now that Choi Mi-jin is married, Kim Jun-su can only marry the daughter of the military personnel.

The thought of being beaten and kicked every day after marriage made Kim Junsu break out in a sweat.

He personally experienced Jin Nana's kick today...

"Brother, I know... you did all this for me... sob sob..." Jin Nana suddenly stood up, hugged her brother and cried.

"Alright, alright, it's not easy for people like us to meet someone we like. We can't all three of us marry into the family for the sake of our families. Although I hate that Chinese man, it's still better than you marrying someone you don't like." Kim Junsu gently stroked his sister's hair, his tone softening. "By the way, what are your plans for the future? We definitely have to get that kid to marry into our family. I'll have to keep a close eye on him from now on. If he dares to bully you, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you."

Although he usually appears arrogant and unruly, he genuinely loves Jin Nana.

He has two siblings, but he has always been at odds with his eldest brother, and his father is in prison. Now, the only one he is truly close to is his younger sister, Jin Nana.

"This..." When the topic of marriage and the future came up, Jin Nana was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to her brother.

Does she have to say that Chen Xi already has a girlfriend?
As for marrying into the Jin family? That's simply impossible.

"Alright, let's talk about this later. I wonder how things went between Big Brother and him... It would be best if the two of them argued and that kid got stuck here, hehehe." Kim Junsu's lips curled into a gloating smile.

Kim Carrey always bosses him around, and Kim Junsu feels from the bottom of his heart that Chen Xi is no match for him at all, and he's sure to get a good scolding from his older brother later.

"Uh..." Looking at her brother's strange smile, Jin Nana didn't know what to say for a moment.

An hour later, in addition to Chen Xi and Jim Carrey, there were two more people in the study.

Cui Zhongsheng sat in the chair with a sullen expression, staring intently at Chen Xi.

He hadn't said a word since he entered, and Chen Xi hadn't said a word either; the two of them just stared at each other.

Xin Yourong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay to handle things this way?"

“I don’t know. I told my family that Kim Nana wasn’t feeling well and went home first, so they don’t know the actual situation yet. But they’ll definitely ask about it after a while. You just proposed that Kim Junsu marry my sister, and I can’t make that decision… But fortunately, not many people know that Kim Nana and I are engaged, so there’s still room to salvage the situation,” Choi Jong-saeng said in a deep voice.

"Um... are all the tycoons in your country this calm? Dude, I stole your fiancée, shouldn't you come up and punch me?" Chen Xi finally couldn't help but ask what was on his mind.

"Punch you? How could I not? I wish I could drag you somewhere where no one's around and beat you up. It's just a pity I'm afraid Jin Nana will be upset," Cui Zhongsheng replied irritably.

"Um... why don't you just beat me up? Otherwise I'll feel bad about it..." Chen Xi said, rubbing his nose.

"Hmph, we'll talk about it another time." Choi Jong-sung received strict family upbringing from a young age, and his words and actions were extremely restrained.

To be honest, if it were Chen Xi himself, he probably would have kicked him already.

Sigh, even though I'm quite wealthy, I'm still not the same as these tycoons.

The ability to swallow one's anger alone is something that not everyone can do!

Chen Xi couldn't help but silently summarize in his mind.

Although the people present were of similar age, Jim Carrey and his group were clearly more composed and better at sacrificing personal interests when dealing with family issues.

Chen Xi knew he couldn't do that.

He has no concept of family at all.

In his previous life, when he was in school, he even suggested that his father, Chen Yifeng, implement reforms and that all members of the Chen family should be purged for the sake of the company's development.

In his eyes, family traditions and clan ties are utterly worthless!
Unlike most Chinese people, he had neither the obsession with carrying on the family line nor the idea of ​​sacrificing everything for his children.

Perhaps because he had been abroad for so long, he was never able to truly accept these traditional ideas.

Well, in this respect, his thoughts are quite similar to Zhang Chaoyang's.

Live however you feel comfortable!
