Who has the choice after being reborn? I want them all

Chapter 2

2024, Beijing.

In a Starbucks coffee shop, 37-year-old Li Zhe looked at the blind date opposite him.

The girl looks about 26 or seven years old, not short, about 167cm by visual inspection. She is not very good-looking, but she has a good figure and fair skin. She is quite pretty against the backdrop of a black V-neck suspender dress.

This blind date seems okay.

The girl took a sip of coffee and put down the cup, "I heard that you work as an overseas study agency. The income in your industry is not low, right?"

"In general, you can get between [-] and [-] yuan in good months, and you can only get basic salary in bad off-seasons," Li Zhe said.

"The income in the capital is a bit low!" The girl's tone was obviously a little too low.

"You have been working for so many years, should you buy a house?"

"I have an old house of 57 square meters outside the Third Ring Road, with two bedrooms. I live with my mother."

Li Zhe paused and said a little self-deprecatingly: "That's what many people call old and young."

After the girl heard this, her disappointment was palpable, and she was obviously not satisfied with Li Zhe's conditions.

"Aunt Wang (the introducer) didn't say that you have good conditions."

"My conditions are not particularly bad, right?" Li Zhe said nonchalantly.

"If you had just graduated, the conditions would not be bad, but you have been working in the capital for so many years. To be blunt, the conditions are indeed a bit poor."

"I heard that you are a manager in a five-star hotel. How many can you open in a month?"

"It's not much, only four or five thousand, but it's almost enough for me." The girl said frankly.

A five-star hotel manager who earns four to five thousand a month?The front desk is pretty much the same.

Li Zhe shook his head inwardly. He really didn't know where the other party's sense of superiority came from. How could a migrant girl from other places look down upon him, who earned a monthly salary of ten thousand or twenty thousand and had a house in the capital?Even if it's just the same old thing.

Is it just because she is a woman that she can give birth to children?

No, it’s hard to say whether I can have children.

After a few more perfunctory conversations, the girl stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Li Zhe stopped the other party, "Wait a minute, let's stay AA!"

"AA?" The girl looked incredulous.

"You, a grown man, go out on a blind date and ask a girl to pay for a cup of coffee. How embarrassed are you?"

Li Zhe said calmly: "Don't you mean that men and women are equal? ​​If we don't get on a blind date, we will be strangers, shouldn't AA?"

"No wonder you are almost 40 and still single. You are so stingy. What girl would be blind to follow you?"

After transferring 40 yuan to Li Zhe, the girl picked up her handbag and left angrily.

Li Zhe said behind her: "Oh, you gave me 4 yuan more!"

"It's so damn unlucky that I met another lowly man. Now every man is more worthless than the last."

The girl cursed and walked out of the cafe, took her mobile phone and called a car on Gaode.

After waiting for a while, before the online car-hailing car arrived, a blue Tesla Model S Plaid drove over.

This car is so nice!
The girl subconsciously took a second look. When looking for men in the future, she must look for someone who drives a car like this. A man with a low head like just now will get away as far as he can.

Then she saw a Model S Plaid stop in front of her, the window rolled down, and a man poked his head out of the car, "You just gave me an extra 4 yuan, how about I transfer it to you?"

When she saw it was Li Zhe, the girl was immediately confused, "Is this your car? Are you renting it..."

Li Zhe smiled playfully, "If this can help you feel more balanced, then fine, I rented this car."

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

The girl was left standing there in a daze.

Half an hour later, Model S Plaid arrived outside the Third Ring Road and drove into an old community.

After parking the car, Li Zhe did not rush upstairs. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, lit it, and took a long puff.

In fact, he rarely smokes. He only smokes once in a while when he is tired from work or in a bad mood.

Later, he would let his mother know that his blind date had failed again, and there would be another nagging.

In fact, if his mother hadn't been urging him to get married and constantly helping him contact blind dates, Li Zhe would never have gone on a blind date.

He is in his thirties and forties and is still unmarried, but that doesn't mean he lacks a girlfriend.

As a compassionate and good man, Li Zhe has helped many young and good-looking girls in the past seven or eight years.

Of course, in return, they also have to take care of him for a period of time.

The conditions of any of the girls he sponsored were better than those of the blind date just now.

What's more important is that he is young. His sympathy will never be placed on girls older than 23 years old.

"This funding target has been available for more than half a year, and it's time to change it to another one." Thinking like this, Li Zhe picked up his phone, opened a photo album, and started flipping through it.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find one that I was particularly satisfied with.

Prices have skyrocketed since the rise of live broadcasts, and there are so many sheep trying to lick themselves to death, making it increasingly difficult for him to find a satisfactory sponsor.

Li Zhe sighed lightly and threw the phone aside, feeling empty in his heart.

But Li Zhe felt that he was pretty good, not as good as his predecessors but more than his inferiors. His family conditions were pretty good since he was a child, and his parents would try their best to satisfy any requests he had. He had some setbacks in his studies, but in the end he was admitted to a decent university.

Even though his family had an accident and his girlfriend broke up during his freshman year, he was depressed for a long time, but later he picked himself up, studied hard for more than a year, and passed the TOEFL.

Then I went to work on the other side of the ocean for four or five years and saved my first pot of gold. After returning to China, I opened a study abroad agency in partnership with my friends, and gradually established a foothold in the capital. I own a house and a car, and now I have a net worth of over [-] yuan. All in all.

Li Zhe's only regret is that he missed his youth. After the family accident, he just wanted to make money. He always thought that after he got rich, what kind of woman would he not find?

But when he really had some money, he wanted to find a pure and beautiful girl to fall in love with and get married, but found that it was difficult to find her, and she lost the mood and passion of when she was young.

Nowadays, I can only spend money to buy "love".

Li Zhe leaned his head on the seat and closed his eyes, planning to rest for a while before going home and listening to his mother's nagging.

If only I could have my life over again.

He must date a few more truly beautiful girlfriends while he is still young, and then find a simple girl he really likes to take over... No, get married.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

……

"Classmate? Classmate? Wake up! The exam is coming soon, don't sleep!"

In a daze, Li Zhe felt someone pushing him, as if there were people snickering around him.

who is this?

No, aren't you in the car?
Li Zhe was startled and woke up completely. When he opened his eyes, he was completely confused.

This is an unfamiliar classroom... an examination room to be precise. There is a male teacher standing next to him, and there is also a female teacher at the podium. The eyes of the candidates around him are focused on him as if they are watching a show.

"You can fall asleep now, so wake up quickly. It's time for the exam." After the male teacher finished speaking, he walked away.

take an exam?What is this test for?
Is he dreaming?Or... reborn?

Li Zhe's eyes subconsciously fell on the admission ticket on the desk, and he couldn't help but was stunned again.

——Admission ticket for the 2007 National Unified Examination for General College Admissions in Heihe Province.

He stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard. It hurt, so it probably wasn't a dream.

Could it be...really reborn?It was time for him to take the college entrance examination when he was reborn.

After the brief shock and surprise, Li Zhe felt a little confused.

More than ten years have passed, and he has long returned the knowledge he had in high school to the teacher. Now he is asked to take the exam again. Isn't it fatal?

I can only hope that this is not the first day of the college entrance examination, preferably the last English course.

……

Is it really English?
After the test papers were handed out, Li Zhe felt pleasantly surprised that all his wishes had come true.

He has passed the TOEFL exam and worked on the other side of the ocean for four or five years as an overseas study agency. For him, English is a skill for making a living.

He will definitely not fail the exam this time!
In his last life, Li Zhe failed in the college entrance examination, but his first-level ability only made it to second-level because he failed in the English test.

He is the strongest in Chinese and comprehensive arts, especially Chinese. He can get more than 120 points in every test, but he is weak in mathematics and English. The worst English is even difficult to pass.

During the college entrance examination that year, because he did not do well in the listening test, his mentality collapsed, and in the end he only scored 67 points in the English test.

Even though he performed exceptionally well and scored 135 on the Chinese language test, his English score was seriously stretched and he still failed to pass the first line. His total score was 547, while the first line score was 567 back then.

Why couldn't I understand such a simple listening thing back then?

After finishing the listening test easily, Li Zhe started to answer the written test again, but he finished it all in 40 minutes.

But he did not rush to hand in the paper. Instead, he checked the paper several times to make sure there were no mistakes before he started to write the answer sheets.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

The end-of-exam bell rang, and after Li Zhe handed in his test paper, he walked out of the examination room briskly.

If nothing else, he should be able to get more than 130 points in English this time.

This brings the total score to 610. For liberal arts, 985/211 is definitely a double first-class score.

At this moment, Li Zhe believed that his life would be very different if he had to do it again.
