"Ruzhi!"

"Wang Jin!"

The door opened, and the two best friends, who had been separated for four or five years, called each other exaggeratedly and hugged each other. Sun Yuzhi helped Tian Ruzhi take the bag, and then stood next to him with a smile, watching the scene of the reunion of the two women.

For Wang Jin and Tian Ruzhi, this is not a simple reunion, because in the past few years, they have experienced heavy changes in their lives, both have experienced painful suffering, and have also experienced the joy of being in a desperate situation. In contrast, Tian Ruzhi's emotion is far more than Wang Jin's, seeing her best friend's figure and skin are quite well-maintained, Tian Ruzhi couldn't help but secretly hide her hands, not daring Wang Jin to see the rough marks on her hands because of the perennial serving and washing of dishes.

The excitement of the first meeting finally passed, Wang Jin let Tian Ruzhi sit down on the sofa in his living room, brought tea and fruits, and then said excitedly: "Ruzhi, tell me, how have you been in the United States in the past few years?" It must be much stronger than in China, right? By the way, I heard that every household in the United States has a car, is your Lao Liu already driving to and from work all day? ”

"Lao Liu just graduated, and we don't have spare money to buy a car yet. As for life...... Alas, it's really hard to say, if it weren't for Mr. Qin's charcoal in the snow, I don't know if I would be able to see you again. Tian Ruzhi said with mixed feelings, although it was an embarrassing thing to expose her family ugliness, she still didn't want to deceive her good friend. Besides, the study abroad fund was established by Qin Hai, maybe Sun Yuzhi and Wang Jin already knew about her and Liu Hansong's predicament in the United States.

Sun Yuzhi interjected next to him: "The last time I went to the United States to attend an academic conference, I heard from several Chinese scholars in the United States that they had a very difficult life when they first arrived in the United States. ”

"yes. This kind of suffering is beyond your imagination. Tian Ruzhi said, "Many times, I regret going abroad, although it is a little bitter in China, but I can still be respected, I work in an American restaurant." It's just a low-class citizen, that's the kind of feeling...... Alas! ”

"Only when you have to suffer hardship can you become a master. You see that now that Lao Liu has graduated with a doctorate, you can be regarded as settling down in the United States, how many of our past colleagues envy you. Wang Jin said.

"What do you envy us!" Tian Ruzhi said, she pointed to the various furnishings in the living room, and said: "I think they should envy you, Teacher Sun's achievements are so high, and your life is so good." This house of yours. At least 100 square meters, right? ”

"It's 124 square meters, and the balcony is a gift, not within 124 square meters." Wang Jin said with a little smugness that in that era, a 124-square-meter building was definitely a mansion. In the past, colleagues from Beijing University of Technology came to Hongze for meetings and business trips, and when they came to her house, they were shocked by the size of the house, which is what Wang Jin is most proud of.

"It's all assigned by the Academy?" Tian Ruzhi asked.

Wang Jin said: "The housing of our college. You can rent or buy. We bought it ourselves. One square meter costs 240 yuan, and this house is 30,000 yuan. The advantage of buying it is that we can decorate it ourselves, and even if we don't work in the School of Materials in the future, the house will still be ours. ”

"What do you say, if I don't work in the School of Materials, where will I go?" Sun Yuzhi glared at Wang Jin. I was quite unhappy with her statement.

"I'm just making an analogy...... Look at you, you are more loyal to the School of Materials than to your wife......" Wang Jin said to Sun Yuzhi with a feigned anger.

"30,000 yuan...... Wang Jin, can you and Teacher Sun's salaries be enough to afford it? Tian Ruzhi is concerned about the price of the house. When she returned to the capital this time, she went back to the University of Technology. I also learned about the income of teachers at the University of Technology. She learned that in the past two years, teachers' incomes have increased compared to before, but the average monthly salary is between 400 and 500. Considering the factors of rising prices, in fact, every household does not have much money left. Taking out 30,000 yuan to buy a house is not a simple matter.

"It's okay." Wang Jin said lightly, "Yuzhi is now a professor with outstanding contributions, with a salary of more than 4,000; My salary is a little lower, only 1,500, and the two of us can almost earn more than 60,000 yuan a year. In addition, the cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet material just made by Yuzhi has a very good market prospect, and the group has issued a bonus of 100,000 yuan at a time, so the money to buy a house is not a big problem. ”

"Your wages are so high?" Tian Ruzhi's eyes widened, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Back then, she and Liu Hansong resolutely resigned from their public positions at the Beijing University of Technology and went to the United States to study at their own expense, just to pursue a richer life. After two years of miserable working life, they were lucky enough to meet Qin Hai, and the study abroad fund set up by Qin Hai improved their lives, but this was only an improvement, and it was still far from the prosperity they expected.

Finally, when Dr. Liu Hansong graduated and found a job in an American company, they had a stable source of income and could live like many Americans. Just now Wang Jin asked her if her family had bought a car, in fact, they already had a plan to buy a car, and planned to buy a second-hand car in a year or two. In their view, being able to drive to and from work is undoubtedly an important expression of integrating into American society, and it is also a capital to be able to show off in front of friends at home.

When she returned to China this time, she met several colleagues at the University of Technology, and when she talked to them about life in the United States, Tian Ruzhi was a little proud, and everyone's eyes were full of envy when they looked at her. Indeed, they have suffered a lot, and Liu Hansong's current work is not easy, but they can live in an apartment of more than 100 square meters, and they can have the possibility of buying a car.

All this pride had already begun to fade when she stood downstairs at Wang Jin's house. When he entered Wang Jin's house, saw all the furnishings in the house, and heard Wang Jin say that the two of them had an annual salary of 60,000 yuan and a one-time bonus of 100,000 yuan, Tian Ruzhi felt that he and Liu Hansong were two complete losers. The two of them have suffered so much, but in the end, they are not as good as Sun Yuzhi and his wife who stayed in China, how can she be embarrassed?

If you want to calculate the exchange rate, Liu Hansong's annual income can reach more than 100,000 yuan, and if you take it back to China to spend, of course, you can find the feeling of being rich. But after all, they want to live in the United States, and with an annual salary of more than $20,000, they can only be regarded as passable, and it is far from enough to be a little luxurious. But Sun Yuzhi and his wife's more than 100,000 yuan are worth a lot, didn't you hear Wang Jin say, a 124-square-meter house is only 30,000 yuan.

"Wang Jin, hearing you say this, I really think that it was a big mistake for me to go abroad with Han Song." Tian Ruzhi said in a sour tone.

"You can't say that." Wang Jin said, "In recent years, the economic situation in China has been slightly better than before you went out, and the treatment of teachers has also improved, but it is still not comparable with the United States." As for our family, this can only be said to be a blessing to Mr. Qin, if it weren't for Mr. Qin's transfer of Yuzhi to the School of Materials, we estimate that we are still living in the tube building. ”

"That's just as well." Tian Ruzhi adjusted her psychology a little, she said: "Before coming to Anhe, I went back to the University of Technology to have a look, and there are really many teachers who still live in the building." However, the current tube building is stronger than what we used to live in, and we have a kitchen and bathroom, at least it is much more convenient to live. ”

"This is the national tube building renovation project, and all colleges and universities are doing this." Sun Yuzhi said with a smile, "Actually, I picked it up outside the original tube building, which can be regarded as a little humane." ”

Tian Ruzhi said: "Yes, I can't compare with your Materials Academy." I originally heard Mr. Qin talk about the living treatment of the School of Materials, but I didn't feel anything in my heart. After seeing your family, I realized that you have entered a well-off society in advance. ”

"Ruzhi, what are you talking about, what is the 'we' Materials College, aren't you also a member of the group now? We're still colleagues. Wang Jin smiled and corrected Tian Ruzhi's wording.

Tian Ruzhi's mission is kept secret within the Daqin Group, but Sun Yuzhi and Wang Jin know the inside story. According to the design of the group, Tian Ruzhi wanted to come to Sun Yuzhi to cooperate in the development of cerium-based permanent magnet motors, and if Sun Yuzhi did not know Tian Ruzhi's true identity, it would be difficult to cooperate, so Qin Hai asked people to inform Sun Yuzhi and his wife of the specific situation. Of course, this news is only known to Sun Yuzhi and his wife, and other teachers in the School of Materials do not know about this situation.

"That's right, from now on, I can also be regarded as a member of the Daqin Group." Tian Ruzhi said, "I think about it, I must do the work assigned by Mr. Qin seriously, and be worthy of the help he gave us at the beginning." ”

"Ruzhi, I tell you, although Mr. Qin is young, he is very courageous and very considerate of the employees. As long as you work hard and make achievements, he will never treat you badly. Wang Jin solemnly explained to Tian Ruzhi.

"Hehe, I don't care about any preferential treatment, as long as Mr. Qin can assign me a house in the School of Materials in the future, even if it is not as big as your family, I am content. Perhaps, in a few years, I will ask Hansong to quit his job in the United States and come to work at the School of Materials. Tian Ruzhi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
