Chapter 290: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner in the Company

Hu Yiting admires Wu Tong's international vision, and even more appreciates her international talent outlook, and feels that he has a great appetite for himself.

Hu Yiting knows that in recent years, almost some majors in China's top colleges and universities have become preparatory classes for studying in the United States, and the proportion of graduates of certain popular and cutting-edge disciplines applying to study abroad in American universities is as high as 90 percent! Americans are also happy to get them all out of the country; as for ordinary college students, as long as the foreign party is willing to free tuition or provide a little scholarship, they will immediately fly over, and there is even no shortage of people who smash pots and sell iron to study at their own expense.

So the talent is simply flowing out. As a result, English training abroad has become one of the most popular industries in society in recent years, and various TOEFL, GRE, and IELTS training courses such as New Oriental have sprung up, and English training institutions have made a lot of money.

However, Hu Yiting feels that Chinese are still home-loving, as long as the treatment is not much worse than abroad, many people are still willing to stay in China to develop, after all, there is a familiar cultural environment and family relatives, and it is much easier to spend time to integrate into the culture and society there than to go abroad. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of language, there is no need to spend a lot of extra time on hard practice, you must know that many international students have not been able to speak English neatly even after ten years abroad, and they have always been in the position of engineers and technicians in the company, which is not as fast as Indians whose mother tongue is English.

You must know that no matter how bad Indian English is, there is a curry flavor, which is also the mother tongue of others, an Indian college student from primary school to college graduation, has read an average of about 20 original English books, and the oral vocabulary is about 8,000 more than that of Chinese students, and the communication with white Americans is very neat, and the effect of emotional communication is naturally much stronger than that of Chinese students. Besides, the first-class universities in India are basically preparatory classes for studying abroad, and the graduates are all rushing to study in Britain and the United States, after all, India's industrial level is extremely backward and primitive, and who wants to stay, people are all planning to reincarnate and become Americans and Britons.

But Chinese students are different! China has a complete industrial system left by Taizu, and now the reform and opening up is the stage when a large number of talents are needed to carry out industrial upgrading and technological transformation, and graduates staying in China will play a much stronger role than going abroad to be a senior worker, and the personal opportunities and upward development space are also not suppressed by the glass ceiling, and according to each person's ability, the growth space is almost unlimited.

Besides, if Chinese students have a lot of time to memorize words and practice speaking, wouldn't it be better if they could spend part of it on scientific research and part of it on personal life? You must know that many obscure words will only be memorized when they take the GRE and go abroad for graduate school, and they will forget it if they don't use it for a period of time after actually studying abroad! This is never the same as people from English-speaking countries!

Hu Yiting thought for a long time and asked Wu Tong: "In this case, Sister Wu, you will go to the United States after the Spring Festival to put up the shelves of the research institute, and you can make a budget table for how much money you need." ”

Wu Tong knocked on the melon seeds and said: "I heard that Toshiba's research center at Stanford University costs more than 2 million US dollars a year, and I estimate that we will have to pay this amount a year." ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "How many Japanese are there in Stanford? There are many more Chinese than this, and our company spends $5 million a year, which is also temporary, and we will operate according to this number first, and then add it later depending on the situation! Not only Stanford, but also Enlargement and Berkeley, first set up a talent collection network in the Bay Area, and then gradually cover the West Coast of the United States. ”

Wu Tong nodded: "I'll do it if you make a decision, and I'll go to the United States after I make a plan in the next year." ”

Hu Yiting grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "These melon seeds are not as delicious as my hometown in Hushan, you eat so fragrant." ”

Wu Tong said with a smile: "I can't eat if I want to eat in the United States, and when I see the parrots in the pet store eating raw melon seeds, I have the urge to push the door and buy bird food." ”

"Hahaha......" Hu Yiting laughed.

As it got late, everyone gathered in the conference room to eat snacks and watch TV, talking and laughing, waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner delivered by the hotel, with the long conference table full of fragrant wine and food, the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast finally kicked off.

Hu Yiting celebrated while clinking glasses with everyone, while watching TV with relish, and found that the show had basically not changed in the memory, but his mood was completely different from his previous life.

Hu Yiting thought about it, picked up the phone and called Xia Lao again, wishing her a happy New Year in advance, and scheduled to go to her house to pay New Year's greetings with Wu Shihuan and other students in Beijing on the morning of the third day of the new year, so he hung up the phone with a smile.

Colleagues also went to the outside office to find calls to family and friends, and everyone was busy for a while.

Finally, Hu Yiting waited for the sixth program he had been looking forward to for a long time, after the sketch of Cai Mingliang and Guo Dacheng, Tong Mu wore a festive red slim dress, stood on the moving platform and slowly appeared from the right side of the stage, the snow-white skin on the shoulders and back was half exposed, and it was as beautiful as a rose blooming under the bright stage lights, and began to sing the song "Father" solo.

Hu Yiting held his breath and watched quietly with everyone in the conference room, only to see that Tong Mu's singing was obviously much more mature than before, and in the affectionate singing voice, there was an infinite heart song revealed, and the singing voice and expression were full of infectiousness, which gradually opened the hearts of the audience.

After singing a song, the applause at the scene was thunderous, and after the camera switched, the stage had been replaced by other singers, and Hu Yiting was relieved.

"Hu Yiting, aren't you going to pick up Tong Mu on the TV station?" asked Wang Lili with concern.

Wu Tong gossiped in surprise: "Hu Yiting, do you know this beauty?"

Hu Yiting prevaricated: "This is my ...... Sister ......"

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room snickered ambiguously, obviously a good thing doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, and everyone's usual attention to Hu Yiting and the gossip spirit are not ordinarily strong.

Not long after Wu Tong entered the company, where did he know these inside stories, and when he heard this, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said: "Then you won't pick her up at the TV station? She is finished performing now, right? Hurry up and pick us up for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together!"

Hu Yiting said: "She said that she would wait for the senior singers to finish singing and go to someone's house to eat dumplings together, so let's leave her alone." ”

Wang Lili smiled and put down the liquor in her hand, and encouraged: "Go, go, go! The Spring Festival Gala is so long! You let her wait stupidly in the background? You go to accompany her, go to eat dumplings with her at night, maybe you can meet a few celebrities, but don't forget to ask for a few autographs to come back." ”

Wu Tong said with a smile: "Yes, what a good opportunity, Hu Yiting, aren't you tired of facing the computer every day? You should also go out for a walk, so be it! I'll drive you over!"

Hu Yiting scratched his head, thinking that this would not be bad, so he agreed.

"I'll drive the company's car, Sister Wang, give me a key. ”

Wang Lili hurriedly went to her office to get the key and came back, and stuffed it into Hu Yiting's hand: "The Daben that our company bought newly to pick up VIPs! ”

After speaking, Wang Lili's face was full of unease: "Oh! No! I'm still not at ease! I'll send you there! You don't have a driver's license and haven't learned to drive, what if something goes wrong? Teacher Hu has to scold me to death!"

Zhu Xiaoqiao, the chief financial officer, volunteered: "I'll send it!

Hu Yiting waved his hand nonchalantly, and comforted: "It's okay, I've been learning to drive for several years, and I'm experienced, that is, I haven't reached the age of receiving a license, you all have a good meal and watch TV, don't be busy." ”

Seeing Hu Yiting's insistence, Wang Lili and others had to give up, Wang Lili sent Hu Yiting downstairs, and pointed to the Mercedes-Benz S600 bought to pick up VIPs at the door of the company and said: "It's this car, just picked up from the agency last week." ”

"Well, I heard you say, hehe, I haven't sat on it yet, and I just had a taste today. ”

At this time, Wu Tong also came down, holding the key in his hand and pointing to a red Audi A4 next to him and said: "Or drive mine, this A4 is also a new car, the car will be easier to drive if it is smaller, this Daben is too long." ”

Hu Yiting urged with a smile: "You all go up, it's so cold, and if it's freezing, I'll run away, so I can pick up people and save face, right?"

Wang Lili nodded and said: "Daben is stronger after all, but you must remember what I said, don't drive fast!

At this time, Hu Yiting had already closed the car door, slid the car into the road after igniting the fire, nodded at Wang Lili and Wu Tong outside the window, signaled that he remembered, and then slipped out with one foot on the accelerator.
