Chapter 671: Thousands of Gold to Buy Horse Bones
February 23, 1986, Sunday, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
In the girls' dormitory of the University of California, Berkeley, Zhen Rongrong put on simple clothes and carefully combed her hair into a neat middle ponytail, making her already somewhat heroic figure look even more capable.
A few days ago, the UC International Students Alumni Association suddenly received a notice that the leaders of the Mainland Education Committee were coming to express their condolences and agreed to hold a tea party today during the Lantern Festival.
There are even rumors circulating that at this tea party, the issue of work allocation after everyone returns to China may be discussed.
As a D member, Zhen Rongrong knew the importance of this kind of thing, so she got ready half an hour in advance, looked in the mirror, picked up her schoolbag and prepared to go out.
But as soon as she arrived at the door, Ruan Shujun, who was sleeping in the bed, suddenly jumped out of bed: "Rongrong, wait for me, I will go with you."
Zhen Rongrong was stunned. After a while, he said in confusion: "Have you received the notice? I heard Liu Dongsheng said that only publicly funded international students are required to participate this time."
Ruan Shujun was stunned and said sarcastically: "Although I am a self-funded student, I still need to review the academic qualification allocation unit after returning to China.
Maybe no one will care who I am if I go to such an occasion, but If I don’t go, someone will definitely remember who I am, and the distribution results will be very different with just one thought.”
Zhen Rongrong: "."
In the Mainland in 1986, the employment of international students was still subject to certain restrictions, so Ruan Shujun believed that if they were assigned to a poor unit because they did not go today, it would really be because of their minors. Big loss.
After hearing Ruan Shujun's words, Zhen Rongrong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Didn't you swear to stay in Beacon? Why are you worried that you won't be assigned a good unit when you go back?"
"You still have Is it over? Who do you look down on? You keep saying you are patriotic and dislike me for being weak. Now that I want to return to my country to serve my motherland, what do you mean by standing in the way?”
Zhen Rongrong was originally just a joke, but it made me feel sick just now. Ruan Shujun suddenly became violent.
"."
Zhen Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
She retorted to Ruan Shujun: "If you really want to serve the motherland, of course I want to congratulate you, but I'm afraid you want to step on both sides and leave a way out for yourself. ”
“You are thinking about becoming a lighthouse person, and at the same time you are thinking about letting the mainland give you You know, why are you so smart? I advise you! Don’t be fooled by your cleverness, or you will drown in the river.”
There are many people like Ruan Shujun in UC who want to stay. In the lighthouse, they all had one thought in mind - if they really couldn't stay, they would return to China and be allocated a good unit.
This is just like the "spare tire" for little fairies in later generations - if it doesn't work out, I'll find an honest man to marry, and I won't starve to death anyway.
But Zhen Rongrong really hates this kind of half-hearted idea.
However, Zhen Rongrong fell behind and Ruan Shujun suddenly broke through.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It’s all your fault, I just want to find a boyfriend who really likes me. Why can’t you look at me? Why did you bring Kadir to Chaozhou Hotel? You just like to look at me so much Are you making a fool of yourself? Wuwuwuwu~"
"This is a lighthouse, not the mainland, but you have brought here the tricks of the mainland. Are you trying to force me to death?"
"."
Zhen Rongrong looked at Ruan Shujun who was crying, and most of the anger in her heart dissipated.
The scene in Chinatown on New Year's Eve can be said to be a classic example of stepping into two different boats. After the conflict, Kadir and Xia Zhemin both chose to abandon Ruan Shujun, which gave her a real experience. The feeling of "drowning".
It can be said that after this incident, Ruan Shujun's reputation in UC has been completely ruined.
So she suddenly made a 180-degree turn and wanted to go back and serve the motherland. Was she going to change to an environment where no one knew her and start over?
. . . . . . . .
It’s okay to increase the relationship with the mainland’s education system. This time, a venue with good conditions was given to hold the Lantern Festival Tea Party, which can accommodate at least two hundred people.
But when Zhen Rongrong waited at the scene until eleven o'clock, only about thirty people came to the scene.
You must know that this is not an international student from UC, the international student unions of several surrounding schools have also been notified.
“Well, Huang Yanxin is sick.”
"Liang Zemu is also sick."
Listening to the requests for leave one after another, Zhen Rongrong felt a little uncomfortable.
During the Spring Festival this year, more than a hundred people came to the party!
Ruan Shujun is right, this is a lighthouse, not the mainland.
The powerful binding force of the organization in the mainland is pitifully weak here.
"Okay, the time has come, we can't wait any longer. Hello everyone, my name is Ke Zhiyu. I am very happy to be able to spend this wonderful Lantern Festival with you in a foreign country thousands of miles away."
"Except In addition to celebrating the festival, today we mainly want to listen to everyone's opinions for one thing."
Teacher Ke did not appear angry because of the deserted scene. He had a smile on his face and was knowledgeable and approachable. What he said was Also gentle and polite.
“In the past few years, the number of overseas students we sent back to China has continued to decline. I think this must be due to many reasons, among which there must be something we have not done well,”
< br>"It must be very difficult for everyone to study and live in this lighthouse far away from home. If you put in the effort, you should be rewarded. I would like to hear what you think and what your requirements are for future work."
"." After Ke Zhiyu finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
Everyone comes from the mainland and has a deep understanding of this kind of "brainstorming" thing.
The leader asked you to boldly put forward opinions. You are so special that the old monk can't read and point out a lot of problems.
The problem is not easy to solve, but the person who asked the question can Very easy to solve!
"Hehehe~"
"It seems that everyone is worried? It doesn't matter, let's try another way!"
Teacher Ke told the secretary next to him, and then the secretary took A stack of "opinion forms" were produced and distributed to everyone.
Zhen Rongrong took it over and took a look. It listed a lot of questions and multiple-choice questions, such as which unit do you want to be assigned to after returning to China? What are your future salary and housing requirements, etc.
There is even a multiple-choice question at the end of "Where to go after graduation", which includes the options of "continuing further studies" and "returning to work in China".
And more importantly, this opinion form is anonymous.
Zhen Rongrong, Tian Xizhen, Jiao Yaqiang and others looked at each other, and finally took out their pens and filled out the form carefully.
Twenty minutes later, more than thirty submissions were received.
Because there were not many, Teacher Ke quickly looked through them.
“Everyone is still conservative. How can talents like you only get a salary of two hundred?”
"I will go wherever the motherland sends me? Alas, since you are asked to make requests, you should boldly make them!"
Teacher Ke looked at the opinion sheet and occasionally made a few comments with a smile.
But her heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.
On the thirty-four opinion forms, 29 chose "continue further studies", which is more than 80%.
This means I don’t want to go back “for the time being”~
"Okay, thank you for your opinions. Today, there happen to be several companies in our mainland that need to recruit some personnel to be stationed in the lighthouse. So, please ask these students who have chosen to 'return to work in China after graduation' to stay and let them talk to you. Talk."
"."
The whole place was silent.
Zhen Rongrong, who chose "return to work in China", murmured: "I'm sorry, I just came here this year, and I'm still far away from graduation."
Teacher Ke smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. It’s also good to talk first and see if there are any suitable part-time jobs.”
"."
Everyone was silent again, and then someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Director Ke, what are the specific jobs of the personnel stationed at the lighthouse?"
Teacher Ke She smiled and did not answer, but the secretary next to her smiled and replied: "It is no different from an ordinary lighthouse company. Of course, the salary is no different. It will only be higher than that of lighthouse people, not lower than that of lighthouse people."
< br>Everyone was stunned.
Twenty-nine people chose to continue their studies. Looking at the five submissions sorted out by Teacher Ke, they felt as if any opportunity had passed them by.
Is this "no difference"? Is it okay to buy horse bones for thousands of dollars? Are you bullying us for not learning history?
There are fewer and fewer international students returning to China. Isn’t the reason why they earn less? Now I’ll give you a job where you can earn foreign exchange outside and serve the motherland. Would you be happy? Are you happy?
The key is that if you work in a state-owned enterprise, you can still be promoted to section chief, division chief, or even become very successful!
The thinking of "people are superior to others" is deeply ingrained in the hearts of mainland people, but working for the lighthouse people will never become a superior to people.
"Director Ke, I am willing to accept this job, and I am willing to work hard for the development of our motherland."
While everyone was still stunned, Ruan Shujun rushed to express her position with her face flushed.
Teacher Ke’s secretary smiled and asked: “Oh, what’s your name?”
Ruan Shujun said excitedly: “My name is Ruan Shujun, and I will graduate with a master’s degree this year.”
>
“Ruan Shujun?”
Teacher Ke lowered his head and began to look through the roster of international students.
Teacher Ke, on the other hand, looked at Ruan Shujun with great interest.
Wen Leyu has talked a lot with Teacher Ke in the past few days. How could such an interesting person like Ruan Shujun pass by?
And Ruan Shujun found Teacher Ke looking at herself carefully, and she suddenly became elated.
This is a ministerial level boss!
【This time, my luck finally came! 】
