if you serious you lose

A new week has begun, and Qin Jie finally ushered in the start of school. Walking on the bustling campus avenue, he didn't feel too much repulsion. Now he just wants to get into work as soon as possible, and is obsessed with education and academics. It will make your mind clearer and your body and mind healthier.

"Xiao Qin, Teacher Qin!"

It wasn't until he was patted on the back that Qin Jie realized that someone called him several times. He quickly turned around and said he was sorry. When he saw that it was Wang Qi, his colleague from the School of Economics and Management, he even showed a bright smile. Bye bye old age.

Wang Qi and Qin Jie walked towards the college building together. On the way, the two chatted about the trivial matters of life during the holidays, but slowly, the initial sharing turned into complaints. attitude.

"You don't know, as soon as the country's legal holidays come, I will post them. The wedding invitations and the full moon wine posts are one by one. Normally, at our age, these things should be less and less. As a result, when I go back to my hometown, it's okay. Guys, the second-children came one by one, and the second-married ones, Xiao Qin, do you think it’s a headache, we schoolteachers, the meager wages are all paid off.”

Qin Jie's colleagues are a few years older than him, so they have already married and had children. He can imagine these daily complaints, but he can't actually resonate with them.

Qin Jie chose to go abroad when his friends were at a marriageable age, and he has not returned for many years after he left. However, his classmates and friends abroad do not arrange their lives according to age like in China. Instead of choosing to marry and have children, people around them seem to enjoy being single more The dating freedom of nobles, the hard work of work and career, and the easy dating in leisure time do not require too much commitment and pressure. Many couples are born after such a few dates, and many men and women choose to end their relationship at the dating stage.

There is no such thing as good or bad, Qin Jie just feels that the influence of culture is always revealed through every bit of life. He grew up in China, but because of family reasons, Qin Jie is actually not familiar with ordinary people’s daily necessities and parents’ short stories, so he is not familiar with it. I don't reject the complaints from my colleagues, but I feel that they are a bit fresh, and I ask a few questions from time to time, and I also sigh in agreement. Unknowingly, I came to the office.

"Xiaoqin, look at me. I've been busy with family affairs all the way, and I've forgotten the business. Dean Wu said let us receive the academic exchange group of F University. You may not be clear when you first came. We basically There will be a joint meeting with their school, this time you will follow us to do it together, count as accumulating some experience, and it will definitely be your turn to take the main responsibility in the future."

The economics and management departments of S University and F University are well-known throughout the country. Because they are both in the south, they are not far away. Although they are competitors, they actually have a friendly relationship and maintain close communication. I heard colleagues talk about this. Regarding this matter, Qin Jie nodded. It was the first time he had the opportunity to directly contact colleagues from other schools in the circle after returning to China. He also looked forward to this task.

"Because we are old friends, everything is kept simple. The administration has already contacted the guests, and the accommodation and vehicle arrangements have also been made. We will be in charge of toasting during the meal. Meetings and so on are all for the bosses. Home field, if you are clicked, you can talk about the project you want to research at hand, in short, don’t worry about it, it’s not a particularly formal academic exchange, it’s just an emotional connection. Haha.”

"Okay, I understand, the specific time will be notified again?"

"The preliminary decision is next Wednesday to Friday. If there is any change, of course we will notify you. In fact, you don't need to be with you all day. The main thing is that Dean Wu named you, a talented student, to be present, so I must be notified. So, you have to do The best preparation is to look at your own schedule, if there are classes in those days, adjust it a little in advance, in case the leader has instructions at any time, well, that’s about it.”

"Thank you, Brother Wang, then I'll hang out with you then."

Having roughly understood the nature of this exchange meeting, Qin Jie wrote down the things he needed to prepare for himself, and he did not forget to raise his signature smile for the colleagues around him, and put on a friendly face.

Wang Qi patted Qin Jie on the back to reassure him. At the beginning, before Qin Jie returned to China, he caused a commotion in the teaching staff. With his excellent resume and the direct recommendation from the masters in the circle, everyone was worried that he would He will not be an arrogant and eccentric genius, but he never expected that the young man who came here is not only outstanding in appearance, but more rare is that he is humble, so his colleagues also have a high evaluation of Qin Jie, especially Wang Qi, as Qin Jie The first senior who took him to familiarize himself with various tasks after coming to the school felt that this junior was very likable, and he was willing to help him and give him advice on weekdays.

The two chatted casually for a few more words before completely separating and walking into their respective offices.

A week later, Qin Jie and Wang Qi met an academic exchange group from F University in front of the courtyard building. Dean Wu, who was nearly half a century old, hugged the leader of the other school with a bear hug and a big smile. However, Qin Jie suddenly felt that this joint meeting, which had been going on for many years, was originally due to the "brothers" of the leaders of the economics and management departments of the two schools.

"Old Zhou, let's go, go to my office, I have prepared a good Longjing, I will let you taste it later."

Dean Wu, who likes to invite people to the office for tea on weekdays, received Professor Zhou from F University with a smile on his face. Qin Jie followed the crowd and watched everyone get into the elevator one after another. Worried about overloading, he stepped aside consciously. Ready to wait for the next shift, at this time, Dean Wu suddenly looked over, and as soon as his eyes touched Qin Jie, he immediately beckoned him to come to his side.

"Qin Jie, come here and go up with us. Lao Zhou, this is the returnee I was talking about. This kid was recommended by Professor Qi, and now he is a sweet potato. Those students in the college, the enthusiasm for class is very high, even our female teacher said that seeing him is like seeing a star idol, it is very eye-catching."

Qin Jie was extremely embarrassed to be told this, but he still bit the bullet and blushed to go along with his family's immodest dean.

"Professor Zhou, it's a great honor to meet you. I went to F University to listen to your lectures when I was an undergraduate. The scene was so amazing that I could only listen outside the door. I couldn't see you from the beginning to the end. Your long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled now."

"Haha, that's an exaggeration, Xiao Qin, don't be as pompous as your Dean Wu. If you had been admitted to our F University, you would be mine now. When will he show off here?"

Dean Wu became even more proud when he heard this, like a rejuvenated boy who kept provoking Professor Zhou with words, and Qin Jie was amused and shocked at the same time. He understood the profound friendship between these two leaders thoroughly. , but if he didn't make fun of himself, he would be more infected.

The elevator quickly arrived at the fifth floor where the dean's office was located. As the least experienced lecturer, Qin Jie had to wait in the conference room with his colleagues, but now he was named to accompany the dean. The psychological pressure can be said to have suddenly increased. Fortunately, the university The experience of being a student cadre at that time still honed some ability to get along with the school leaders. When he walked into the office, after several leaders were seated, Qin Jie offered to make tea. At this time, his gratitude to Lin Yuan deepened again. If it weren't for the influence of being in Lin Yuanna for the past six months, I guess I wouldn't even be able to grasp the teapot and tea leaves.

"Xiao Qin came back from abroad, do you think there is any gap between our domestic university education and that over there?"

Professor Zhou has been paying attention to Qin Jie's actions. After taking a few sips from the teacup, he nodded and asked in his steady voice.

"In fact, the gap in education has narrowed significantly in the past few years. At least when I went abroad, I didn't spend a lot of time adapting to English teaching and dealing with research topics. I think this is due to the increasing emphasis on Bilingual education is also related to the reform direction of students' independent research. I have been exposed to English for four years in S University. Many subjects such as econometrics are even taught in English and exams. Scientific research competitions, participating in these also helped me lay some good foundations."

"Old Wu, the overseas returnee you found is really enviable. He doesn't forget his roots and is not afraid of being laughed at. In our country, there are also many good seedlings who have graduated from college and went abroad. Huh, there are really no one who wants to come back. They are all here. It has taken root. Although it cannot be said that people choose wrongly, but if everyone is like this, then we will send out all the good talents in our own country. It is really rare for someone like Xiao Qin. Old Wu, you have to treat others well. If Xiao Qin feels that he has been greatly wronged in S, the conditions for coming to our place must not be worse than this."

Qin Jie was even more flattered by Professor Zhou's words. In fact, the situation that the professor said was nothing new. It is clear that international students with higher academic qualifications and high-level majors still tend to develop overseas, but in reality, these talents are more resources that can significantly promote the country's technological and cultural development, and a large number of international students who return to China, although It will also bring fresh blood to the country, but the quality is still a bit unsatisfactory.

With the reduction of the difficulty of studying abroad, the value of returnees is far less than before. For international students themselves, there is no advantage in the treatment of returning to China, and there is even a prejudice against returnees in China.

Although Qin Jie is engaged in academic research, fortunately, his internships and jobs were obtained through recommendation and interviews, but there are many friends around him who returned to China and entered the company through ordinary recruitment channels, many of them Everyone has mentioned that during the recruitment process, the company is not willing to recruit returnees, especially for less professional jobs. First, they feel that overseas students lack domestic work experience; Qualitative and low loyalty; and the most important thing is that the high cost of high education does not actually bring significant returns to the company. Therefore, under the same conditions, some places prefer to recruit local students, and this result, It has once again led to the tendency of international students not to return to their home countries. It can be said that this is a negative cycle.

Qin Jie couldn't help expressing his thoughts, and this time, Dean Wu also expressed his approval, while Professor Zhou drank another cup of tea made by Qin Jie, and sighed: "Xiao Qin, what you see is quite clear. Yes, but there are not good talents like you who come back voluntarily. In the final analysis, it is still a personal value orientation. Presumably you did not come back for domestic development and treatment. Whether it is for family affection or national feelings, I am afraid. It’s something that young people are increasingly ignoring.”

When Professor Zhou said the last sentence, Qin Jie seemed to hear a sigh, and then looked at Dean Wu's deep expression at the moment, he gradually realized that this topic is not a simple discussion of social issues about whether overseas students return to China or not , but it is not easy to ask more questions for a while, so I can only bow my head and continue to make tea for the two leaders.

"Old Zhou, Lan Lan still hasn't come back?"

"Hmph, what else does she do, married daughter, spilled water, don't bother, she can go wherever she likes!"

Qin Jie, who was about to serve tea, was taken aback by the sudden change in Professor Zhou's tone. The sudden mood swings of a man who had been gentle and refined since meeting today made it impossible not to be curious.

"You, you have such a temper when you were young. You know how much you hate your daughter. You suggested that she go abroad at the beginning. Now that she has developed so well there, she is not happy. Do you think you are difficult to serve? What time?"

The turn of the topic caught people off guard. Although there were only Qin Jie and two leaders in the office, he was only a rookie lecturer after all, and he would not have much contact with the bosses on weekdays. When it comes to family affairs, Qin Jie expressed fear and even felt that he should avoid it.

However, before Qin Jie could speak, Professor Zhou brought him into the conversation.

"Xiao Qin, don't be so restrained. I have a daughter who is supposed to be a year older than you. She also majored in economics. She is at F University. Like you, she went abroad with her master's degree. She went abroad with her husband. But Today's young people are really too unsteady, and they divorced properly. We old people didn't know about it. It was only a few years ago that she suddenly told me that she was going to remarry. I am so angry that I became an American citizen like this. I am not afraid of your jokes, I am such a daughter, and seeing you now, it is inevitable that I feel a little emotional."

"Okay, Lao Zhou, if you miss your daughter, fly to see her. When the child grows up and has his own life, don't hold on to those old-fashioned ideas. You will retire in the future. Didn't Lan Lan say that she wanted to pick you up? There's nothing bad about it, the air is good with fewer people, maybe it's more suitable for retirement than in China, then I will go to your place to drink tea and chat with you."

Dean Wu gave Qin Jie a look, telling him not to mind too much, while persuading Professor Zhou. Soon, everyone skipped this topic tacitly and started talking about more professional and academic things. This time, Qin Jie took the initiative to ask the two seniors for advice, and the atmosphere became less heavy and became more harmonious and positive.
