Chapter 399 What is the stuffing of the cakes from the sky?
In the suburbs of Charlottesville, where the University of Virginia is located, there is a white two-story building. Liu Hansong, a doctor studying in the United States, and his family live in a small room downstairs.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and his wife Tian Ruzhi was still working in the Chinese restaurant where she had not returned. Liu Hansong put his 5-year-old child to sleep, closed the curtain in the middle of the room, went to the small room separated by the curtain, and pressed
Turn on the desk lamp and start reading the literature I checked during the day.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk." Someone knocked gently on the door.
Liu Hansong looked at the small alarm clock on the table and wondered what kind of person would come to visit at such a time.
"Senior Brother Liu, are you still asleep?" A girl's voice came from outside.
"Is it Xiao Xu?" Liu Hansong recognized it. It was the voice of Xu Xiaoqi, a new Chinese international student at the University of Virginia last year. This junior sister from Beijing University was kind-hearted. Because she knew that the couple lived in poverty, she often came to visit.
Every time, in the name of giving things to the children, I bring some food, children's clothes, toys, etc.
He knew that Xu Xiaoqi's family was an ordinary working-class family, and he relied on working to subsidize his study abroad expenses, so he always advised Xu Xiaoqi not to send him anything more. However, Xu Xiaoqi said that she liked the children of the Liu family very much, and she only came to play with them.
It was difficult for Liu Hansong and his wife to refuse. In Liu Hansong's heart, he felt that he owed Xu Xiaoqi and other Chinese students too much. After he graduated with a doctorate and found a job in the United States, he would definitely repay these debts double.
Gently opening the door, Liu Hansong saw three people standing outside. One was Xu Xiaoqi, and the other two young men were unknown to him, but he knew at a glance that they were all Chinese, and they felt close to each other.
"Xiao Xu, why are you here so late?" Liu Hansong asked strangely.
"Let's talk in the yard, don't make any noise, Xiao Liang." Xu Xiaoqi said. Xiao Liang is the child of Liu Hansong and his wife, and Xu Xiaoqi knew that he must have fallen asleep at this time.
Liu Hansong nodded, took a few plastic stools from the house, came to the yard, asked Xu Xiaoqi and the two young men to sit down, and sat opposite them. He pointed at the two young men and asked Xu Xiaoqi
Said: "Xiao Xu, is this a new international student? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"They came to the United States from China to do business. This is Qin Hai and this is Ning Mo. They are salesmen from Jintang Chemical Materials Group Company." Xu Xiaoqi pointed to the two people and introduced them to Liu Hansong.
"Oh, hello, my name is Liu Hansong. I used to work at Beijing University of Technology." Liu Hansong said politely to Qin Hai and Ning Mo, but he was muttering in his heart. He didn't know why Xu Xiaoqi brought these two people to his home.
What's the meaning.
Qin Hai asked with a smile: "Dr. Liu, you said you used to work at Beijing University of Technology. Do you know Mr. Sun Yuzhi?"
"Sun Yuzhi? Of course I know him." A smile appeared on Liu Hansong's face, "We live across from each other in the Tongzi Building. He is engaged in metal materials and I am engaged in mechanics. There are some complementary areas in the research fields. Also
, his lover Wang Jin and my wife are also good friends."
"Haha, this is getting closer and closer." Qin Hai said with a smile, "Teacher Sun and I are also good friends, and Teacher Wang Jin and I are also very familiar with each other."
"I heard that Yuzhi was transferred to work in Anhe Province. Do you know about this?" Liu Hansong asked. He heard about Sun Yuzhi going to Anhe Institute of Materials Science from others, and the specific details were not known.
It was too clear. He heard that Qin Hai and Sun Yuzhi were good friends, so he asked casually. Since Qin Hai and his party refused to disclose the purpose of their late-night visit, he could only pretend to be coy and wait to see what the other party would say in the end.
Qin Hai replied: "I arranged for Teacher Sun to go to Anhe."
"Did you arrange it?" Liu Hansong was stunned. He vaguely felt that the Qin Hai in front of him seemed to be well prepared. A person who could help Sun Yuzhi transfer to Anhe suddenly appeared in front of him. What did it mean?
Also, he didn't understand why Sun Yuzhi went to Anhe. In his impression, Anhe didn't have any famous universities that an expert like Sun Yuzhi would condescend to go to.
In front of Liu Hansong, Qin Hai didn't want to hide anything. He said: "Our company has built a materials college in Anhe, specializing in the research of various new materials. Teacher Sun was very unhappy at the University of Technology because of the lack of funds and the lack of scientific research.
He couldn't do it anymore and his life was very poor, so I persuaded him to work in our School of Materials Science."
"How come I haven't heard of the Anhe Institute of Materials Science you mentioned? Also, after Yuzhi went there, how was his treatment, and was there any progress in scientific research?" Liu Hansong asked eagerly.
"Teacher Sun is a key talent introduced by our college. His basic salary is 1,000 yuan a month. There are additional bonuses based on scientific research results. His research on third-generation permanent magnet materials has made major breakthroughs.
Two articles will be published in the next month or two. His family now lives in a three-bedroom house, and both of them are fatter than before." Qin Hai said to Liu Hansong in detail.
"That's good, that's good..." Liu Hansong replied indifferently. Although there was a smile on his face, he was somewhat stiff. Of course he was happy that his former friend could get a high salary and produce results. But when he thought of himself
He felt like there was a knot in his heart due to the hardship. The so-called envy, jealousy and hatred were nothing more than a reflection of Liu Hansong's current psychology.
"Qin... uh..." Liu Hansong wanted to call Qin Hai, but found that he couldn't find a suitable title. He heard Xu Xiaoqi's previous introduction that Qin Hai was a salesperson of a certain company, and thought that Qin Hai must have no title.
Yes, but calling them by their first names seemed a bit stiff. What's more, when Xu Xiaoqi introduced the names of these two people, Liu Hansong couldn't hear clearly. He couldn't remember whether it was Qin Han or Celery.
Qin Hai said quickly: "You and Teacher Sun are colleagues, so just call me Xiao Qin. Teacher Sun also calls me that."
"Uh, okay, then I'll call you Xiao Qin." Liu Hansong said, "What's wrong with you coming to my place so late?"
"I heard from Xiaoqi that Dr. Liu is a little nervous in his family life because he is busy writing his thesis. Our company intends to provide some help to students studying abroad, and I wonder if Dr. Liu is willing to accept it," Qin Hai said.
"Your company?" Liu Hansong became vigilant. A huge pie fell from the sky. His first feeling was not joy, but doubt. Who knew what was in this pie? After working hard in the United States for several years,
, he is also used to the harsh world, and he will instinctively have doubts about the benefits brought to his door.
"Yes, our company." Qin Hai said, "Our idea is to provide a monthly living loan of US$500 for three years to some international students who are studying abroad at their own expense and have certain difficulties in life. After the international students complete their studies,
If you stay in the United States to work, you need to repay the loan within 5 to 10 years. If you return to work in your country, you can adopt the same repayment method, or you can choose to work for our company and repay the loan with your service years."
"500 U.S. dollars a month!" Liu Hansong's eyes flashed. If he could make an income of 500 U.S. dollars a month, his wife would not need to work two jobs a day, and could switch to a relatively lighter job. There are three reasons.
Years are enough for him to complete his studies and find a job with a relatively good salary in the United States. If his salary can reach 30,000 US dollars, it will not be difficult to repay the loan. However, with such good conditions,
Are there any ulterior clauses attached?
"So, how do you calculate interest?" Liu Hansong asked tentatively.
"We provide interest-free loans." Qin Hai replied.
"Then...what are you planning?" Liu Hansong finally asked what he was thinking.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Dr. Liu, you guys are all talents in our country. To make you make such a big sacrifice to study is a disregard for talents. Our company is a technology-led company and has always respected
Knowledge, respect for talents, setting up such a loan is our small contribution to talents like you."
"But... I may not return to China to work." Liu Hansong said. He felt that the company Qin Hai mentioned might be a large state-owned enterprise, and maybe this loan was provided by the state in disguise. However, the recipients of loans provided by the state should be
It is only for those who will go back to work in the future. How can the state provide financial support for international students who plan to stay in the United States after graduation?
Qin Hai still smiled and said: "Dr. Liu made a mistake. We provide this loan without considering whether you will return to China in the future. To put it bluntly, whether you stay in the United States or return to China, the fact that you are Chinese is
It won’t change. Isn’t it also the glory of the country that overseas Chinese have done a great job?”
The more Qin Hai said this, the more Liu Hansong felt that there was a trap in it. He shook his head and said: "I still don't understand, what good does this matter do to your company?"
Xu Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw Liu Hansong being so hesitant. The little girl now fully trusted Ning Mo and Qin Hai, so she was naturally very unhappy when she saw Liu Hansong doubting their character.
"Brother Liu, Brother Qin is an enthusiastic person. He is not doing this to get any benefits, so don't hesitate. With this loan, Sister Tian doesn't have to work as hard as she does now." Xu Xiaoqi said.
"This..." Xu Xiaoqi's words touched on Liu Hansong's weakest point. Why didn't he want to get this loan so that his wife would no longer be as tired as she is now. At this moment, he was thinking a lot, and for a while he felt like a free lunch.
After eating it, he felt uneasy, and for a while he felt that even if it was a trap, he should jump into it without hesitation. After thinking about it, he really couldn't make a choice. r1152
