Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 165 Isn’t this a coincidence?

Boys also compare themselves with each other, but the points of their comparison are sometimes strange.

For example, when taking a group photo of the whole class at this moment, the boys standing in the last row are all standing on tiptoe.

Even the hunchback and forward neck caused by long-term desk study were all restored to their straight shape at this moment.

It is more effective than any traction therapy or Beibeijia.

Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the photographer's SLR, and it kept breaking down for a long time.

So under the straight upper bodies of the boys in the last row, there were trembling and shaking legs.

After taking the graduation photos, you can actually pack up and go home.

Of course, many students are still planning to go for consultation on the lively “enrollment roadshow” in the large lecture hall.

Tiancheng No. 1 High School is a pretty good high school in the province, and many nationally renowned universities came today.

Chen Dahai arranged for his brothers to have lunch together at noon, and Xu Chen was naturally among the invited guests. He even had to pay for the meal because of his dark horse grade of "first in the class".

Xu Chen was very happy about this. Indeed, after graduation, these high school friends who used to squeeze in the back row of the classroom and laugh together every day rarely got together.

……

Xu Chen followed the group and went back to the classroom to get his bag.

As soon as we sat down, we realized we couldn’t leave for the time being. A group of girls took out their “classmate album” and started asking classmates for autographs and leaving messages.

Boys generally don’t seem to prepare yearbooks, probably because they think it’s pretentious.

But that didn't stop them from scribbling on a bunch of girls' notebooks.

I don’t know why, but there are more girls coming to Xu Chen to sign their yearbooks.

Even some girls from other classes, whom Xu Chen didn't even know, came to ask for autographs.

This also made Xu Chen feel baffled and confused...

Chen Dahai, who was sitting nearby, was turning a pen in his hand. He noticed that many girls came to Xu Chen to sign, then turned around and left, as if he didn't exist at all.

Chen Dahai was very depressed:
"Is it because I am unpopular, or you are too popular?!"

Xu Chen smiled helplessly:

"You're popular among the boys, and you don't usually hang out with girls."

Chen Dahai was obviously unconvinced:

"You don't date girls!"

……

A thin boy from the same class walked over and stood in front of Xu Chen. He obviously had something to say, but he looked a little reserved and shy.

Chen Dahai was stunned for a moment, but then his expression became somewhat interesting and he leaned over to listen.

Xu Chen remembered that the boy's name was Nie Sensen, and he was a very introverted boy with a very low sense of presence in the class.

Nie Sensen looked at Xu Chen and said:

"Xu Chen, I heard that your father's company acquired Guangming Factory..."

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then said:

"How do you know this?"

Nie Sensen: "My father was an old employee of Guangming Factory and was originally planning to be laid off to find a way out.

Now I heard that your father's company will take over, and I also heard that they are not planning to lay off the old employees, so I am still very grateful...

I don’t mean anything else, I just came here to say thank you to you and your father’s company…”

After saying that, the reserved boy even bowed to Xu Chen before turning around and leaving.

Xu Chen frowned, still feeling some emotion.

It seems that after I was reborn, letting my father acquire Guangming Factory is a good deed.

In my memory of my previous life, Guangming Factory was sold to a real estate company, and hundreds of old employees were laid off.

Hundreds of employees mean hundreds of families, and many families have teenagers like Nie Sensen.

Many employees have no other skills besides factory work, and Tiancheng has no other suitable companies to recruit them...

After being laid off, I can only do some small business work, and it is not easy to make a living.

Among them, there are even some college students like Director Yang who were born in the 1980s and 1990s...

Chen Dahai and several other boys stared at Xu Chen with surprise.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

"Your father...bought the Guangming Factory?!"

"Master Xu, Mr. Xu, President Xu..."

"That's a big factory in Tiancheng that has been around for decades. Has it really been taken over by your family?"

"It seems that I have underestimated the strength of Master Xu's family!"

"Shit, your dad isn't the richest man in Tiancheng, is he?!"

Xu Chen laughed:
"Let's go, what do you want to eat? This young master will treat you!"

"Then you have to eat stir-fried dishes, you can't order any vegetarian dishes!"

……

Backstreet, Liu Fanxiang stir-fry.

Chen Dahai took out a pack of cigarettes and started distributing them to everyone.

Someone teased:
"Chen Dahai, you are a sports student and you are about to go to the Provincial Sports University. Why do you always smoke?"

Chen Dahai: "I don't need competitions like Brother Bing. Besides, I went to the Sports University to study physical education, so no one cares about me!"

In Xu Chen's memory of his previous life, after Chen Dahai graduated from the Provincial Sports University, he became a physical education teacher in a primary school in the provincial capital. He had no worries about food and clothing and lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

It seems that he is still moving along the predetermined destiny path.

In his previous life, Xu Chen worked hard in the big city and suffered terribly from mortgage and car loans. He also seriously envied Chen Dahai who stayed in his hometown in the provincial capital.

Thinking about it now, it still makes people feel emotional.

……

A few people were chatting and laughing, and a girl at the next table looked over here from time to time.

After a while, a girl stood up and walked towards this side.

"Xu Chen..." Xu Chen looked up and saw that it was the non-mainstream girl Zhao Linlin.

"Long time no see." Xu Chen smiled, being polite yet distant.

Zhao Linlin was still dressed in that non-mainstream style, with a bunch of sparkling rhinestones on her jeans.

"I heard that you did very well in the exam, congratulations!" Zhao Linlin said softly.

"Thank you!" Xu Chen smiled very officially, without any enthusiasm but not cold either.

Zhao Linlin pursed her lips, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't open her mouth. She lowered her head and turned back.

Chen Dahai on the side teased a few words, but Xu Chen said nothing and just smiled casually.

After his rebirth, Xu Chen felt more and more that it is very difficult to change a person’s nature, and that everyone will eventually step into the river they are supposed to step into.

Class teacher Zhang Liqun, Huang Furen, Third Uncle...and of course Zhao Linlin.

When those things that cannot be avoided cause an intrusion into your life, you have no choice but to take action to rectify them.

If you can avoid it, try not to get involved with it and save yourself trouble.

……

……

After lunch, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others staggered back to school.

A few people smoked for a while by the flower bed at the school gate, and then walked towards the classroom together.

You still have to go and see today’s “Enrollment Roadshow”.

As a sports student, Chen Dahai had actually been admitted to the Provincial Sports University a long time ago, but he still went to join in the fun.

He put his arm around Xu Chen's shoulders and asked curiously:
"Master Xu, have you chosen a university? Which prestigious school are you going to?"

In fact, Xu Chen already had a rough idea of which university to attend.

After considering various factors, what actually emerges is the "standard answer".

Based on the agreement with Xie Bingran and considering the future family business, I must go to Shanghai to study.

The three best universities in Shanghai are Fudan University, Tonghai University and Jiaotong University.

Further on there are Huahai Normal University, Hucheng University of Finance and Economics, Hucheng University of Foreign Languages, Huahai University of Political Science and Law, etc.

Judging from Xu Chen's current grades, he would definitely be able to be admitted into the top three, but since Fudan University only allows him to choose unpopular majors, he gave up on it.

After considering various situations, Xu Chen's options only include the most suitable combination.

Tonghai University, Advertising major.

Double First-Class 985, a century-old prestigious university, first established by Germans, with many disciplines ranked first in the country...

The Advertising Department of Tonghai University has become the third-ranked discipline in the country after introducing several professors who studied in Germany in recent years.

With Xu Chen's score, there was no pressure in applying to the Advertising Department of Tonghai University, and there was almost no risk of being transferred to another major.

Xu Chen chose to study advertising primarily because of his family business.

I worked as an advertiser for several years in my previous life. The advantage of working in this industry is that I have a natural connection with business and the market.

More importantly, advertising itself can allow you to have horizontal exposure to different industries, which means you can accumulate cross-industry connections and resources.

This is still very important for the future development of the Xu family's business.

Of course, another reason is that since I already had some work experience in my previous life, the schoolwork was much easier.

The college entrance examination is an unavoidable pressure, but Xu Chen still hopes to be as relaxed as possible when attending university.

As a former advertising person, studying in an advertising department is basically a dimensionality reduction attack, and the coursework does not need to be too difficult.

This can save a lot of time and energy. In addition to supporting his father Xu Zhiquan's business, he can also do something he likes.

……

……

Shaw Building, large lecture hall.

Before entering the door, there was already a crowd of people and a bustling noise.

Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others had to go through some trouble before they could barely squeeze in.

I realized that in addition to the senior high school students, there were also many parents of students.

Several classmates around me had clear people to consult, so they dispersed first.

Chen Dahai came purely to join in the fun, so he followed Xu Chen all the way.

Actually, Xu Chen just came here for a stroll, so he looked around in a relaxed manner.

The two of them had only walked a few meters when a bunch of flyers and materials were stuffed into their hands.

Xu Chen flipped through the files and saw that they were all not-so-good schools, even some fake technical colleges that he had never heard of.

After looking around again, I found an interesting phenomenon.

There were a lot of people gathered around, but they were all from very ordinary universities, many of which were second-tier colleges or even technical colleges in the province.

However, almost no one goes to consult about some good 985 schools.

For example, at the booths of several good schools such as Renmin University, Xia University, and Sun Yat-sen University, the admissions teachers all started dozing off.

After Xu Chen thought about it, it was not surprising. There were probably only a few students who could apply to these 985 schools, so the number of people who went to inquire was also relatively small.

……

Xu Chen and Chen Dahai were wandering around when a voice suddenly came from behind them:
"Teacher Xiao Xu?"

Xu Chen turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man who looked very familiar.

Wearing frameless glasses, a white shirt, and a thick slicked-back hair...

Xu Chen frowned and thought for a while before he remembered that this was one of the judges when he participated in the Fu Yanjie competition in Shanghai.

He seems to be a professor of advertising at a university in Shanghai, and his name is Wang Jian.

"Teacher Wong?"

Xu Chen walked over with a smile.

I looked up and saw the words "Tonghai University" written on the X-shaped display stand next to Wang Jian.

Isn't this a coincidence...
