Chapter 671: A Thousand Gold Dollars for Horse Bones

February 23, 1986, Sunday, the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

In the girls' dormitory of the University of California, Berkeley, Zhen Rongrong changed into simple clothes and carefully combed her hair into a neat ponytail, making her, who was already a little heroic, look even more capable.

A few days ago, the International Students Association of the University of California suddenly received a notice saying that the leaders of the Education Commission in the mainland would come to visit everyone and agreed to hold a tea party today on the Lantern Festival.

There was even a rumor that at this tea party, the issue of job assignment after returning home might be discussed.

As a D member, Zhen Rongrong knew the importance of this matter, so she prepared half an hour in advance, looked in the mirror, picked up her schoolbag and prepared to go out.

But just as she reached the door, Ruan Shujun, who was sleeping in the quilt, suddenly jumped out of bed: "Rongrong, wait for me, I'll go with you."

Zhen Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Have you received the notice? I heard from Liu Dongsheng that this time only publicly funded students are required to participate."

Ruan Shujun was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Although I am a self-funded student, I also need to review my academic qualifications after returning to China.

If I go to such an occasion, maybe no one will care who I am, but if I don't go, someone will definitely remember who I am. A difference in thought will make a big difference in the allocation result."

Zhen Rongrong: "."

In 1986, the employment of overseas students in the mainland was still subject to certain restrictions, so Ruan Shujun thought that if she didn't go today and was assigned to a bad unit, it would be a big loss for a small gain.

After hearing what Ruan Shujun said, Zhen Rongrong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you swear to stay in Dengta? Why are you still worried that you won't be assigned to a good unit when you return?"

"Are you done yet? Who are you looking down on? You keep saying you love your country and despise my weakness. Now I want to return to serve my country, but you are trying to stop me. What do you mean?"

Zhen Rongrong originally just made a joke, but Ruan Shujun, who was just sick, suddenly went berserk.

"."

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, I will certainly congratulate you, but I am afraid that you want to play both sides and leave a way out for yourself."

"You are thinking about becoming a lighthouse worker, and at the same time you want the mainland to cover you. How can you be so smart? I advise you! Don't be too smart, or you will drown in the river."

There are many people like Ruan Shujun in Canada who want to stay in the lighthouse, but they also have one idea - if they can't stay, they will return to China to be assigned a good unit.

This is just like the "spare tire" of the little fairy in later generations - if it doesn't work, I will find an honest man to marry, anyway I won't starve to death.

But Zhen Rongrong hates this kind of half-hearted thinking.

But after Zhen Rongrong finished speaking, Ruan Shujun suddenly broke down.

"Wow, it's all your fault. I just want to find a boyfriend who really loves me. Why can't you see it? Why did you bring Kadier to Chaozhou Hotel? Do you like to see me make a fool of myself? Wow~"

"This is the lighthouse, not the mainland, but you brought the mainland's tricks here. Are you trying to force me to death?"

"."

Zhen Rongrong looked at Ruan Shujun crying, and most of the anger in her heart dissipated.

The scene on Chinatown on New Year's Eve can be said to be a classic example of playing two boats. After the conflict, Kadier and Xia Zhemin both chose to abandon Ruan Shujun, making her really experience the taste of "drowning".

It can be said that after this incident, Ruan Shujun's reputation in Dajia has been completely ruined.

So she suddenly made a 180-degree turn and wanted to go back to serve the motherland. Is this to change to an environment where no one knows her and start over?

. . . . . . . . .

The relationship between the University of California and the mainland education system is pretty good. This time, a good venue was provided for the Lantern Festival tea party, which can accommodate at least 200 people.

But when Zhen Rongrong waited until 11 o'clock, there were only 30 or so people on the scene.

You should know that these are not just the international students of the University of California, but the international student unions of several surrounding schools have also received the notice.

"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 100 people came to the party!

Ruan Shujun is right, this is the lighthouse, not the mainland.

The strong binding force of the organization in the mainland is pitifully weak here.

"Okay, time is up, we won't wait any longer. Hello everyone, my name is Ke Zhiyu, I am very happy to spend this wonderful Lantern Festival with you in a foreign country thousands of miles away."

"In addition to celebrating the festival, today we are mainly here for one thing, to listen to everyone's opinions."

Teacher Ke did not seem annoyed by the deserted scene. She smiled and was intellectual and amiable, and her words were gentle and polite.

"In recent years, the number of students we sent back to China has continued to decline. I think there must be many reasons for this, and there must be something we haven't done well."

"It must be very difficult for everyone to study and live in this lighthouse far away from home. There should be rewards for your efforts. I want to hear what you think and what you want for your future work."

"."

After Ke Zhiyu finished speaking, the scene was silent.

Everyone came from the mainland, and they have a deep understanding of this kind of "brainstorming".

The leader asked you to make bold suggestions, and you really pointed out a lot of problems if you are an old monk who doesn't know how to count.

The problem is not easy to solve, but the person who raised the problem is easy to solve!

"Hehehe~"

"It seems that everyone has concerns? It doesn't matter, let's change the way!"

Teacher Ke talked to the secretary beside him, and then the secretary took out a stack of "opinion forms" and distributed them to everyone.

Zhen Rongrong took it and looked at it. There were many questions and answers and multiple-choice questions listed on it, 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 about "where to go after graduation" at the end, which includes the options of "continue to study" and "return to China to work".

And more importantly, this opinion form is anonymous.

Zhen Rongrong, Tian Xizhen, Jiao Yaqiang and others looked at each other, and finally took out pens and filled them out carefully.

Twenty minutes later, more than thirty opinions were collected.

Because there were not many, Teacher Ke quickly looked through them.

"Everyone is still conservative. How can talents like you only want a salary of 200 yuan?"

"Wherever the motherland sends me, I will go there? Well, since you are asked to make requests, you should be bold!"

Teacher Ke looked at the opinions and occasionally made a few comments with a smile.

But her heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.

Among the thirty-four opinions, 29 of them chose "continue to study", which exceeded 80%.

This means that they don't want to go back "temporarily"~

"Okay, thank you for your opinions. Today, several companies in our mainland need to recruit some people to be stationed in the lighthouse, so please ask those students who choose to "return to China to work after graduation" to stay for a while and let them talk to you."

"."

The whole audience was silent.

Zhen Rongrong, who chose "return to China to work", murmured: "I'm sorry, I just came this year and I'm still a long way from graduation."

Teacher Ke smiled and said: "It's okay, let's talk first and see if there is a suitable part-time job."

"."

Everyone was silent again, and then someone finally couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, Director Ke, what specific work do the people stationed in the lighthouse do?"

Teacher Ke smiled and didn't answer, but the secretary next to her smiled and replied: "It's no different from ordinary lighthouse companies, and of course the salary is no different. It will only be higher than the lighthouse people, not lower than the lighthouse people."

Everyone was stunned.

Twenty-nine people who chose to continue their studies looked at the five opinions sorted out by Teacher Ke, and felt as if there was an opportunity that passed them by.

Is this "no difference"? Is this buying horse bones with a lot of money? Are you bullying us for not learning history well?

There are fewer and fewer students returning to China, isn't it because they earn less? Now you are given a job that can earn foreign exchange outside and serve the motherland. Are you happy? Are you happy?

The key is that if you work in a state-owned enterprise, you can still be promoted to section chief, director, or even rise to prominence!

The idea of ​​"being superior to others" is deeply rooted in the hearts of mainlanders, and working for lighthouse people will never make you superior to others.

"Director Ke, I am willing to accept this job, and I am willing to dedicate myself to the rise of the motherland."

While everyone was still in a daze, Ruan Shujun rushed to express her opinion with a flushed face.

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.

And Teacher Ke looked at Ruan Shujun with interest.

Wen Leyu has talked to Teacher Ke about many things in the past few days. How could such an interesting person like Ruan Shujun be missed?

And Ruan Shujun found that Teacher Ke looked at her carefully, and she was immediately overjoyed.

This is a ministerial-level boss!
