Chapter 2 Rebirth with a Slap

Speaking of Qin Lin's rebirth, he still feels very strange.

The rebirth of other people is either due to doing good deeds and merit. For example, saving someone from being hit by a car or saving someone from drowning, and then they can be reborn.

Or he works so hard that even his father feels pity for him, so he simply helps push him away. For example, those who get drunk to death at the dinner table just to discuss business, or those who die in the line of duty after working 48 hours a day, no matter how bad they are, they are still programmers.

Engineering lions and the like who stayed up late to cultivate themselves died suddenly.

There are even those who are unlucky enough to be struck by lightning. But like Qin Lin, it is the first time that he is reborn just because he slapped his cell phone.

"It's such an unexpected way of rebirth, it's so imaginative."

Qin Lin smiled, unable to tell whether he should be angry or grateful.

In his previous life, as a small business owner, Qin Lin looked at a few storefronts and did some overseas purchasing business. He did not smoke, drink, go to clubs, or perm his hair. He just stayed at home and had no entertainment activities at all.

Most of the time, he is sitting quietly in a corner watching TV dramas or drinking tea and browsing Weibo. He has to visit the store and can't go out for a walk, so he can only watch movies and TV series while doing so.

A keyboard warrior.

The only thing that can be regarded as a hobby is to pretend to be a cultural person while drinking tea with a book of ancient Chinese poetry or a collection of poems, so as to deceive the admiration of little girls.

After more than ten years of living a peaceful and prosperous life, there was no storm or rainbow.

Originally, Qin Lin only had a small store. He bought it with a loan and the down payment was given by his parents. The business was not very good.

It's salty, just enough to fill you up.

What I didn’t expect was that after experiencing the bombardment of countless American TV series and popcorn blockbusters.

One day, Qin Lin suddenly discovered that his English level 4, which he took three times to pass the university exam, was already high enough to understand American blockbusters without subtitles!

When did you develop this language talent?

Then he tried to have a verbal spat with the foreign netizens outside the wall, and found that there was no pressure to communicate. He was even threatened with a razor blade because of his excessive language expression!

Qin Lin realized it!

That day, he unlocked his overseas purchasing skills.

Then in the next five years, his store went from one with a loan to three with full payment, and his employees also changed from him alone to six pretty flower girls.

If things continue like this, he may eventually become a charterer and live out his life comfortably.

But by chance, Qin Lin learned that the store he was purchasing from was not in the so-called "Old Pear", but in Wenwan. Those so-called imported goods had just gone through customs!

I didn't cheat Boren, but Boren was cheated because of me.

Qin Lin felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the customers he had inadvertently cheated over the past five years.

Money or not, does it matter?

Qin Lin looked at his three full-price stores and fell into deep thought.

Important! But you can’t lose face!

Qin Lin felt that he could not help others do evil, so he resolutely revealed this fact in his circle of friends and announced that former customers could come to him for refunds.

At that moment, he felt that he had successfully ascended from a salted fish with no ideals to a koi carp, with a golden body and a shining golden light.

What he didn't expect was that, apart from getting dozens of likes and flattery from a bunch of good store managers, it had no effect at all!

The first choice for those who know they have been cheated is still purchasing on behalf of others!

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

What makes Qin Lin even more angry is that after Qin Lin exposed the tricks in overseas purchasing, countless merchants he had cooperated with sent frantic messages and phone calls to insult him. They no longer looked like brothers and sisters in the past.

One person from the same city even thought that Qin Lin had made enough and wanted to destroy everyone's jobs. He went to Qin Lin's store in the middle of the night and poured several buckets of red paint on it, scaring several young girls in Qin Lin's store to the point where they could not sleep for several days.

Dare to come to work!

Qin Lin chose to call the police. Fortunately, there was surveillance camera at the intersection and he was able to catch the man.

But although under the supervision of the police station, the man did find someone to renovate the outside of Qin Lin's store, the man's crazy curses on Qin Lin made Qin Lin unable to sleep well for several days.

As soon as I close my eyes, I feel like "traitor, traitor", "Instead of letting foreigners take the money away, it is better for us to cheat the money back", "Our things are not worse than foreigners, why can't we have the same price as theirs?"

Isn’t it because of you people who adore foreign things? Otherwise, why would we let things go around for a while?!”

Every word of curse pierced Qin Lin's heart like a sword.

"I just reminded those customers not to buy fake and shoddy products. How could I become a traitor who admires foreign things?"

Qin Lin was confused, but he felt that what the man said was quite reasonable! He didn't feel confident even if he wanted to refute!

After learning from the painful experience, Qin Lin decided to pretend to be an ostrich from now on, everyone would clean up the snow in front of their own door, no longer care about other people's affairs, and continue to be their own salted fish.

But when he clicked on a popcorn movie again, he suddenly felt some inexplicable grievances.

yes!

Why can I, a good Chinese, be able to read and write English fluently without even realizing it because of the American Eagle's subtle cultural export strategy?

Why do those compatriots prefer to believe in a foreign product whose name they have never even heard of, but disdain their own products?

Is it inferiority complex?

That splendid five thousand years of cultural inheritance, five thousand years of pride.

Why has it become like this now?

Can this world really only be dominated by English-speaking countries?

Why? Why?

An inexplicable sadness made Qin Lin feel that he should do something.

"I'm not a fan of foreign things!"

What can be done?

After much thought, Qin Lin discovered that he really couldn't change anything.

"Oh, stop dreaming! You, Qin Lin, are just a useless salted fish!"

For a long time after that, whenever he was alone, Qin Lin felt as if someone was shouting at him: "Salted fish, trash, useless!"

Qin Lin wanted to escape. He tried to divert his attention by reading novels and watching TV.

However, every time he clicks on an American blockbuster, he can't help but think of the curses his former colleague used to curse him, such as "advocating foreigners," "banana man," and "traitor."

In the end, Qin Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes slowly firming up.

"I am not a banana person, nor am I a fan of foreign things. I am at most a coward who dare not resist reality."

"However, although I can't change the world, I can change myself!"

After figuring all this out, Qin Lin sealed his English skills.

"Although my not using English alone has no impact on this country, at least I have a clear conscience."

Go to hell with American TV series and all that!

After making up his mind, Qin Lin turned to domestic dramas.

In fact, after watching too many American TV series, you will become bored with the same stories. When the gorgeous visual impact becomes dull, you will find that watching them is also an insult to your IQ.

It's not as good as a Chinese drama, at least it's more imaginative.

What Qin Lin didn't expect was that it was precisely because of this decision that he was reborn.



In a daze, Qin Lin seemed to have seen the incredible scene not long ago again.

It was a sunny morning, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

Qin Lin, who has entered the elderly society early, leisurely inspected his small store, happily brewed a pot of tea, and placed a small horse with a backrest and a folding round table polished with water droplets at the entrance of the store.

On a late spring morning, the sun was shining warmly on your body, making you a little drowsy. Soothing music was playing from the speakers in the store behind you, and the vermilion wolfberries in the glass in front of you were floating in the water, which was a bit dazzling.

Qin Lin took a sip of tea happily, took out his mobile phone, casually opened the Fat Penguin APP, and calmly watched the drama.

After being shown off his lower IQ by yet another outrageous domestic drama, Qin Lin, a self-proclaimed Buddhist, slapped his cell phone on the table angrily.

It was this shot that made Qin Lin's vision go dark and he lost consciousness.

After waking up, he found that he had been reborn inexplicably!
