Chapter 232: Following the clues
Since the incident that night, there have been no window smashing incidents in the world for two consecutive days. This brings relief to everyone in the company, and hopefully this calm will last.
The new semester has arrived as scheduled, but for many international students, this year has been unsatisfactory.
They all complained that they did not have a good New Year celebration in China this time. Some students did not even return to China throughout the Spring Festival, but chose to stay in Tu'ao and have a simple meal with friends.
For them, the traditional customs of the Spring Festival, such as setting off fireworks and watching the Spring Festival party, have become an unattainable luxury.
Most international students came to Tu'ao only when they were in college. This is their first New Year in a foreign country, so they miss the Chinese New Year's flavor and atmosphere very much.
In contrast, a veteran like Chen Xi, who has been in Tu'ao for many years, doesn't care about New Year celebrations at all. Anyway, there are few people in his house during the New Year celebrations and it's deserted.
This time, due to the timely selection of courses, I enrolled in some subjects that were easy to take the exam, and even chose a Chinese language course.
This is a course that many international students will choose, and it is free.
If a Chinese fails even this course, he can hang himself, because some foreigners will choose this course, and it will be relatively less difficult than domestic Chinese.
However, when it comes to classical Chinese, foreigners basically have a headache reading it.
Today is accounting class. This is Chen Xi’s least favorite class. Although he doesn’t like it, it is a required class. Recalling his previous life, he had failed this course three times, which was a nightmare.
Xiao Ming specializes in accounting and is naturally familiar with this subject. Today, the three of them - Xiao Ming, Chen Xi and Li Yuqing - all have to take accounting class, which is a required course for almost every business student.
Chen Xi also met an old friend from his previous life - Shi Tao. Shi Tao's aunt is the owner of a well-known accounting firm in the Boxhill area. This firm was also Chen Xi's choice when he was considering remitting money to an Internet cafe. one.
However, the two of them didn't know each other yet, so Chen Xi was naturally embarrassed to ask Shi Tao for help.
Shi Tao is quite handsome and has inherited a good voice. He is good at flirting with girls, is also proficient in singing and guitar skills, and has many girlfriends. He naturally attracts the attention of many girls when he enters the classroom.
During class, Shi Tao chatted enthusiastically with several girls, and soon they became like brothers and sisters. Li Yuqing looked at Shi Tao with her big eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Xi was listening carefully there. He didn't want to fail this class again in this life.
"Cough~" At this time, the door of the classroom was pushed open. The teacher looked at the two late students and couldn't help but cough slightly.
The people who came in were Chen Xu and Ouyang Ming. Ouyang Ming had failed the class and repeated his studies, so the teacher naturally remembered this guy. Chenxu, on the other hand, had returned to China to take a break from school, and now he came to study again, and the two became classmates again.
"Hey! How was the New Year!"
"What else can I do? There are few relatives in Xinlu, so only a few of them are celebrating the New Year."
Chen Xi responded angrily.
Li Yuqing pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation between the two. She had never met Chen Xu and had no idea about their relationship.
“My dad asked you to come to Yongcheng to celebrate the New Year next time.”
"...I want to go to Wulin as well! I don't know anyone in Yongcheng except you. There are also cousins in Wulin, and you can visit the West Lake by the way."
"The West Lake is so nice to visit. Yeah, I didn’t have enough fun when I was a kid! My cousins are studying abroad and basically don’t want to go back to China, I heard. Prepare to immigrate.”
“Haha, girls don’t want to come back after they go out.”
Chen Xi shook his head and said helplessly, the immigration process of this cousin and cousin was quite difficult, and they all bought their goods abroad. The house was built, and it took my cousin many years to complete it due to work and other reasons.
My cousin moved to several countries. For a while she felt that the beautiful country was not good, and then she went to the United Kingdom. She also felt that the security there was also bad. For a while she felt that there were too many black people in the country, and her family members were also unhappy. I'm so annoyed by her.
"Don't talk about common things there. I told you about Chen Xi. My first business was completed. Under my command, Baby Liya successfully sold wine to the country..."
< br>Hearing Ouyang Ming's words, Chen Xi covered his mouth and just wanted to laugh. How could he not know that Liya must be busy with this. This guy usually sleeps in and plays games at home.
“How much did you earn?”
“It’s not much, just a few hundred thousand Chinese national currency. I even said that the amount should be larger, but she didn’t agree.”
"Huh? Hundreds of thousands? It's not much? How much is it."
Ouyang Ming's words felt very watery. The business volume of this red wine was not large, so he probably wouldn't make much money at all.
"One hundred and ten thousand..."
"How much exactly."
"After deducting all expenses, I will probably earn 70,000 to 80,000."
< br>Ouyang Ming blushed and replied coyly.
He originally wanted to make the number larger to trick them into boarding the ship, but he didn't expect to be found out.
"Don't be discouraged, take your time!" Chen Xi did not hit Ouyang Ming, but encouraged him seriously.
"Class, listen carefully! You are still talking when you are late!"
While everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, the female teacher's voice suddenly came from the podium.
They looked up and saw the female teacher with her hands on her hips, glaring at them sternly.
This female teacher is Chinese from Shenzhen, so she is naturally very strict with Chinese students.
Seeing this, several people immediately calmed down and listened honestly and attentively.
The classroom suddenly became quiet, with only the clear voice of the female teacher explaining.
Li Yuqing was listening intently when she was suddenly interrupted, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in her heart.
In the following time, several people listened attentively and did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
They didn't dare to speak loudly until get out of class was over and they walked out of the classroom.
“Let me tell you, those guys in China don’t understand wine at all. This time I sold him high school, high and low wines, and he couldn’t even tell the difference. When I said good wine, he Letter..."
Ouyang Ming said proudly as he walked.
Chen Xi sighed, he was showing the chat records to other buyers! Even poor wine can be sold at a high price.
“I’m going to ship out a few more batches of goods, and when things are stable, I’ll go work on the winery. Don’t just sit there and watch, it’ll be too late if you don’t get in the car.”
"Yes, yes."
"Definitely, definitely."
Chen Xu and Chen Xi looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They were all ready to see how long Ouyang Ming could persist.
Chen Xu was scared because Ouyang Ming spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.
"Max said that housing prices in Mo Village are rising!" Chen Xu patted Chen Xi on the shoulder.
"Oh, by the way. Speaking of buying a house, my mother is going to buy me a house in Mo Village."
Chen Xi thought about buying a house, but luckily Chen Xu reminded her. In the past two days, because of Sihai Company's affairs, he had forgotten to buy a house.
“Ah! Buying a house? Aren’t you going back to China?”
“I’ll sell it then, so I don’t have to pay rent.”
"It makes sense. Then I'll go and talk to my dad."
Chen Xu nodded, thinking Chen Xi's idea was a good one.
"No! What kind of house are you buying? Invest all your money in me, and it will be doubled by then." Ouyang Ming pulled the two of them by their arms with some excitement.
“Brother Ou, there is no conflict between buying a house and investing.”
“Yes, there is no conflict.”
The two of them were scared and quickly explained that if they gave Ouyang Ming the money to buy a house, he might even think about building a rocket to fly to the sky.
He only goes into the wine business if he has no funds. If he had money, he would not look down on this business at all. Ouyang Ming's heart is too big, and small business is not in line with his ideals at all.
"Have you brought your girlfriend from Sakura Country back to your family during the Chinese New Year?"
"Forget it, I'm afraid it will turn into a shock."
Facing Chen Xu's teasing, Chen Xi shook his head, not reaching that point yet. However, his family members are still relatively open-minded and not conservative in their thinking. Chen Caiyue even joked at that time that she asked him to bring back a big horse!
"Haha, brother Shi Tao, you are so interesting."
"Haha, I didn't have a guitar today, and I didn't sing well just now."
"Wow, you can also play the guitar. "
"Well, I have an electric guitar at home."
"Then I will go to your house to play next time."
"I'll go too."
While Chen Xi was smoking and relaxing outside the teaching building, he saw Shi Tao walking out with two girls talking and laughing.
Shi Tao's humor obviously made the two girls very happy. They laughed so hard that they kept shouting about going to Shi Tao's house to play.
Chen Xi still doesn’t understand why Shi Tao is so good at picking up girls. He succeeds every time.
There are so many girls around him that he can’t count them with both hands and toes.
Chen Xi did not talk to Shi Tao because he knew that the two would definitely meet again.
In the last life, Shi Tao met Wang Li and others while going to an Internet cafe. Chen Xi also met Shi Tao through Wang Li. Now that Geto has closed down, Shi Tao can only go to Orange and Beyond Internet cafes to play.
It won’t be long before Orange will be closed due to violence, so sooner or later he will meet Shi Tao.
“What are you looking at?” Chen Xu poked him.
"It's nothing, I just think that guy is very good at picking up girls. I just took a class and got two girls."
Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha, I think you're not bad either! There are quite a few of you around!" Dongdong chuckled.
In his eyes, Chen Xi is the patriarch, and girls don’t even need to pick him up, they will automatically stick to him.
“Nonsense, I just have a girlfriend.”
"Yes, yes, yes. One is the main palace, and I don't know what the rest are." Xiao Ming immediately stepped forward to finish the attack.
When Chen Xi thought of the main palace, he thought of Shazhi. It's time to go to her house today. Little Chen Xi is already exhausted, and she is probably about the same.
A few people walked to the parking lot. Xiao Ming had already taken the driver's license test and bought an Audi car, acting like a leader.
"Is this guy planning to go to Saori's house a long time ago, so he asked you to drive out today?"
"Ha, I thought you understood! I didn't even say a word. ”
"Haha, there must be a lot of fire at Shazhi's house tonight. Why don't you go to the Internet cafe to play games?"
"Quickly, go to the company. I've been on tenterhooks during this period, so I can't think of playing games."
“When did you become so motivated?”
“Why? Let’s just say I’m also the nominal boss of the company. I can’t screw up the company my uncle left me.”
“I bought an Audi and started talking like a leader, hey! Hey, do you know how to drive? Didn’t you buy this driver’s license? You didn’t turn down the handbrake.”
While Dongdong was chatting, he felt something was wrong with the car. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a problem with the handbrake.
Doncater, 7-11 convenience store.
"Hey! Give me another piece of that stuff from last time."
Chen Xi said hello to the clerk who was proficient in the product.
"Huh? Oh, okay. The effect last time was good!" The clerk obviously didn't remember Chen Xi, but seeing him standing in front of the shelves of special items, the young man immediately remembered it. Things happened before.
"Yeah, yeah, the dam exploded instantly, comparable to a C4 bomb." Chen Xi nodded.
"New products have been released. This one is even more powerful. Don't use too much, I'm afraid the little girl won't be able to bear it."
"I understand, I understand." Chen Xi was impatient. I paid, picked up my things and got in the car.
Chen Xi did not go directly to Shazhi's house, but drove to Balwyn because he wanted to verify a conjecture of his.
In front of a villa in Balwyn, Chen Xi stood quietly, staring deeply at the house. This is exactly where the last arrest took place, and it is also the house where the previous guest who caused trouble for smoking D stayed.
Chen Xi's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that night, and the chaos and tension at that time seemed to be still vivid in his mind. He clearly remembers how the police broke down the door and took them away.
Chen Xi looked at the house carefully. It had obviously been vacant for a long time.
Through the fence, you can see that the yard is covered with dead leaves, a depressing scene. The entire yard had not been taken care of for a long time, which further confirmed his suspicion.
He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then took a deep breath and nimbly climbed over the fence.
Quickly walked to the swimming pool in the garden, searching the ground with his eyes.
Soon, he found a strange-shaped stone, and he was so happy that he quickly picked it up.
Then he took out an almost identical stone from his pocket.
The two stones collided gently in his hands, making a crisp sound. Chen Xi looked at the two stones, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he showed a satisfied smile.
There are many such stones on the ground. He had seen them before when he was cleaning here. He didn't know if this kind of stone existed elsewhere. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
After walking for a while, he found that the ground in the garden was full of such things, and there were even a few in the swimming pool.
He clearly remembered that the last time he cleaned the swimming pool, there was no such thing. He had cleaned the swimming pool without even a leaf, so how could there be any stones?
When he walked to a fence made of wood, he found that there were particularly many stones here.
Looking in through the gap in the fence, the ground over there is also filled with the same stones.
This discovery moved Chen Xi's heart. He carefully observed the ground on both sides of the fence and found that the stones here did show signs of being thrown artificially.
“Hmm~ It’s cool!”
Just as Chen Xi was deep in thought, a shirtless man suddenly walked out of the house opposite.
The man looked like he had just woken up. His hair was messy and stood up on his head. It was obvious that he had not combed it for a long time. He moved his muscles lazily and stretched greatly.
“Look at my three-quarters!” The man picked up a stone on the ground, shook his arm, and used a slant-shoulder throw, which is also called a quarter in the baseball world. Three shots.
The stone spun in his hand, and then left his hand, like a cannonball, drawing a sharp arc and flying over the fence.
Chen Xi watched helplessly as the stone whizzed past his head, and then accurately fell into the swimming pool, accompanied by a crisp sound of water splash, announcing the success of the man's pitch.
"Haha! You can attack from a distance next week." When the man heard the sound of water splashing, he immediately bent over excitedly and made a victory gesture, his face filled with pride and pride.
"Where did you die again?"
"Coming, coming!"
A man's voice came from the room again, the guy who had just finished throwing stones , Pidianpidian immediately ran into the house. After a while, there was a jingling sound in the house, as if furniture was being moved.
80% of it is this piece of shit!
Next week?
Okay, waiting for you!
Chen Xi clenched his fists. There is no evidence now, so he can only wait until next week when this guy goes to commit crimes all over the world to catch him.
Chen Xi, who was in a good mood, immediately slipped back into the car and drove in the direction of Shazhi's house.
“Shaori, is this one too revealing? I’ve never worn this kind of nightgown.”
"They say it's a nightgown, but you still care about whether it's leaking or not."
"It's too sexy, it's like I'm not wearing anything."
"Look at what I'm wearing." It’s pretty good!”
“It’s so... so embarrassing, everywhere. I can’t wrap it up anymore..."
At Saori’s house, two women were discussing a pair. Jin Nana watched Saori wearing an almost transparent nightgown dangling in front of her eyes. They also put on various provocative poses. She blushed and covered her eyes, not daring to look at them.
The two of them went shopping before and bought the same nightgown under Shaori's soft touch. However, she didn't dare to try it on after returning home.
Jin Nana used to be like a tomboy. Although she has started to learn Shazhi’s dressing style in the past few months, this nightgown seems to her to be too open.
“Isn’t this pretty?” With Shazhi’s help, Jin Nana put on the nightgown and looked at herself in the mirror. She was really a little embarrassed. The two beauties stood in front of the mirror, looking like a pair of sisters.
“Ding dong~”
“Shazhi, open the door! My husband is here to love you!”
Chen Xi rang the doorbell, and when no one opened the door for a long time, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Why is he here?" Jin Nana was so frightened that she quickly put on her pants and jacket, while Saori was so excited that she ran to the door, forgetting that Nana was still changing clothes in the bedroom.
“Baby, look what good things I brought you?”
“Damn you, you almost killed me last time if you think about that.”
Saori looked at the contents of the plastic bag and immediately gave him a roll of her eyes.
"Don't you want to? If you don't want to, then I'll leave."
"Think about it, think about it, think about it, you miss me so much."
Seeing Chen Xi making a gesture of leaving, Saori quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"I'm going to die again! It's broad daylight! The lesson learned last time was not enough." Jin Nana walked over wrapped in her coat, still wearing her nightgown underneath.
She yelled at the two of them, then hurried out the door with a blushing face.
"Okay, the rest of the gang has left the scene, and the blasters are ready. It seems like you can't wait any longer, honey. You've already changed your clothes." Chen Xi looked at the nightgown that Shazhi was wearing and clicked his tongue.
"Humph, today I want to be a Q soldier."
"Huh, is it just your small body?"
"Don't believe it? Then try it?"
>
“Try it!”
After a while of conversation, both of them began to breathe quickly.
