Chapter 354: Family Without Borders
Zhang Lin stopped last night, and the good news was not announced until the next morning.
Dr. Zhang smiled from ear to ear, hurriedly packed up his things, had to move to the small RV, and gave the big bedroom of the RV to his daughter and son-in-law; The head nurse was so happy that she pulled Zhang Lin aside and asked this and that, and after asking, she counted the days and when her grandson or granddaughter was born.
The main family is happy, and Lao Nie is happy.
The gift-giver looked down on it, saying auspicious words was too clichΓ©, and after thinking about it for a long time, he made a decision to announce in public that he would quit smoking from today, so as not to affect the health of the next generation of the Han family with the damn nicotine.
Yaoyao and Jiang were even happier, chattering around Zhang Lin and asking questions.
"Mom, are you going to give me a Chinese brother or an American brother? This is important and directly related to whether I speak Chinese or English to him after he is born. β
"People are small and big ghosts" is not false at all, adults are happy to patronize, and they are not only happy but also think of some very practical problems.
Zhang Lin really didn't think about it, and just didn't know how to speak, the head nurse said as a matter of course: "Linlin, Xiaojun, Yaoyao has thought about it very comprehensively, and you have to think about where to give birth." You say that those celebrities, those big bosses, in order to give their children a good growth environment, try their best to give birth in Hong Kong and the United States. How much can you save in one step? β
Dr. Zhang thought so, put down his things and said with a smile: "Isn't there a movie about going to the United States to give birth, you two are different from them, you all have green cards, go justifiably, you don't need to be afraid to be a thief, beware of the immigration bureau in the United States." β
Yaoyao hugged Zhang Lin's arm tightly and said excitedly, "We can go to Montgomery." Annabel's mother is a gynaecologist, and she delivers almost all the children in the community. We can ask her for help. β
"Yes, Master, it's not that you don't have this condition."
Zhang Lin was a little tempted. Full of anticipation, he asked, "Husband, what do you think?" β
It is true that the environment in the United States is much better than that in China, but China is developing just as well.
Han Jun weighed it and said step by step: "For others, it is difficult to apply for a U.S. green card for their children and become a U.S. citizen. It's not really hard for us, you know, I'm a lawyer, a licensed attorney in the United States. Besides, as Dad said, we all have green cards. If the child wants to live in the United States in the future, we can be naturalized, and it is completely logical to get him.
In contrast, it is much more difficult to become a Chinese citizen, and only a handful of foreigners have been able to become Chinese since the founding of the People's Republic of China. I don't think this decision should be made for the child, and it will be up to him or her to choose it when he or she grows up to Yaoyao's age. You can even have both Chinese nationality and a U.S. green card like me, and you can live and develop wherever you feel is good. β
"That's a great idea!"
Yaoyao couldn't help but pull out her Chinese green card. He smiled and said, "I'm an American, but I have a Chinese green card and can live in China; His younger brother or sister is Chinese, and he can also apply for a U.S. green card. Come to the U.S. and live with me. We are a family without borders, and nationality really doesn't matter. β
No matter how good the United States is, a yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed Chinese used to be a minority.
Dr. Zhang is old. didn't want to leave his hometown to go to the United States to take his grandson, so he nodded again and again: "Xiaojun is right." Our family is in good condition and has a choice. Your child will go wherever he wants in the future. There is no need to be as impatient as those rich people. β
The son-in-law has great ability, he and his daughter all have green cards, not to mention overseas relations, there is the wealthy old man Han, and Yaoyao, a half-sister, and the future grandson or granddaughter don't have to worry about it at all.
The head nurse reacted, leaned on the chair and smiled: "Okay, just give birth in China, I can still take care of it in China, right?" β
The first question was agreed, and the second came again.
Yaoyao blinked and smiled secretly: "Nickname, that is, China's nickname, I think of two." If it's a younger brother, it's called a potato, and if it's a younger sister, it's called a pepper. Spicier than me, cool or not? β
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Han Jun exclaimed even more exaggeratedly: "Wow, ginger, onions, potatoes, peppers, is our borderless family a vegetable mobilization!" β
"But...... But I feel cool. β
Dr. Zhang laughed and said: "The nickname is easy to raise, the potatoes are good, and the peppers are also very good." β
Zhang Lin was about to laugh out of tears, and asked breathlessly: "What about the big name, what is the big name?" β
"There's no rush to this, there are months to go, and you can study it slowly."
Han Jun took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and said with a smile: "The top priority is to go to the hospital for an examination, but it's a little early, the hospital is not officially working, eat first, and go to rest after eating." In addition, they have to call the law firm so that they have time to go to the family planning department and get the certificate that allows them to have children first. β
"Birth permit."
"Yes, that's it."
Yaoyao subconsciously raised her arm and drew a cross on her chest, and said with a frightened face: "My God, that is the darkest, most terrifying, and most cruel government department in the world. β
It was difficult for her to understand family planning, and Jiang Yi couldn't help but remind: "Onion, the family planning office is not so scary." β
"I don't know how many lives are murdered in a year, and I can't imagine anything more horrific than that. If Morgan was Chinese, if Dad and Morgan were in China at the time, I would have been killed by them, and there would be no onions in this world, no Yaoyao. β
To her, an abortion was murder, and she was an unplanned birth.
This topic is too heavy for an American child like her to explain, Zhang Lin hurriedly diverted the topic, pulled Jiang Yi's arm and said with a smile: "Jiang, Professor Xu called us in the morning and talked about something that was happening in their college, which was very interesting." β
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, it's a person, this person's surname is Chang, called Jiaming, 29 years old this year, born in Xishan Province, his parents used to be cadres, and later went to the sea to do business, and the business was very big. Jiaming can be said to have been born with a golden key, and attended BJ's private school from elementary school to junior high school. He attended Harrow School in the UK in high school and went to Cambridge at university. He also got a doctorate in one go, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute in Germany for two years. Fifteen years in Europe. β
Jiang Yi reacted suddenly, pouting and muttering, "Master, are you planning to let me go on a blind date?" β
Yaoyao smiled happily: "Doctor, Sister Jiang, I feel very good." β
Professor Xu's phone dispelled the idea of calling Cao Weiqing, Han Jun flipped out a photo from his mobile phone, leaned in front of her and said with a smile: "Fifteen years of cultivation have made Dr. Chang a real scholar. Suave and elegant. From the inside out, he is elegant and pure, and even I, a big man, feel that he is in the wind. β
White and clean, with a Chinese character face, with clear contours, he looks not only gentle and elegant, with a bit of scholarly demeanor, but also very handsome. Jiang Yi peeked at it and said with a sad face: "Master, the person is a doctor." My family has money, and I can't climb high. β
"After listening to your master's wife, I will make a conclusion after understanding this person."
"Okay."
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "A few years ago. Xishan Province rectified and managed the coal mines, and Jiaming's parents took care of the overall situation and washed their hands in a golden basin. It sold its own coal mines to the government, and exchanged hundreds of millions of dollars in cash for real estate in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and Canada. Started a residence abroad. When you are just over 50 years old, you know your destiny. Enjoy life.
His parents were out of the country, but he returned.
I had already received an offer from Argonne Laboratory in the United States, but one day, I had no intention of browsing the Chinese website on the Internet, and was moved by the talent recruitment notice of Jiang University. Thinking that his parents' hundreds of millions of assets came from China, but they did not contribute to China, he was enthusiastic, regardless of his parents' opposition, he returned to China without hesitation and became a member of the School of Physics of Jiang University. β
Jiang Yi said to herself: "It's quite assertive, unlike those rich second generations who spend all their time drinking." β
Han Jun gave her a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "It's a shame that you are still a policeman, and you are so easily misled by the media." In the group of the rich second generation, there are few people who really cheat. They have such a high starting point and have received the best education, it is normal for them to become talents, and it is not normal for them to become talents and become talents. β
"yes, you can't look at people with colored glasses."
Zhang Lin took a deep breath and continued: "Professor Xu has inquired, Jiaming has been sensible since he was a child, he has never been in a fight, and he has not even talked about the object, and he has a strong ability to live independently, and he has never let his parents worry about it. Thinking that he was 29 years old and upright, his parents could not forcibly instill their successful experience in China, so they had to rely on his temperament. Anyway, the family has money, and I am not afraid that he will run into a wall at home, and it will be a big deal to return abroad. But they never expected that less than three months after their son returned to China, he would fall under the fence and let us borrow a house to live. β
Jiang Yi asked with a look of surprise: "Master, are you saying that he plans to live in our house?" β
"There are so many rooms, and they are empty, so why not help if you can."
"Then how did he get to this point?"
"There's a reason for that."
Zhang Lin took a sip of milk and explained with a forced smile: "Dean Song is well-informed, enthusiastic and bold, and Jiaming was dug back from abroad by him, and he cares about everything about Jiaming. When you return to your home country, you will drive to the airport to pick you up; In the first week after returning to China, the house was not settled, so Jiaming had to live in his house; At the school, he led Jiaming around to visit the principal, vice principal, director and big-name professors......
It's as big as helping Jiaming find a partner, and as small as helping Jiaming to ask for IP, which can't be better. Jiaming has lived abroad for more than ten years, and is used to intersecting with each other like water, but he didn't expect Dean Song to be so enthusiastic. In Professor Xu's words, whenever he thinks of Dean Song's care for him, Jia Ming often bursts into tears, feeling that Song Jiang is probably the legendary Lei Feng. β
"It's a good thing that leaders are heavy."
"But many of Dean Song's practices often make Jiaming cry and laugh."
The more Jiang Yi listened, the more curious she became, and she couldn't help asking, "What is the method?" β
"For example, Jia Ming, like your master, never drinks hard wine, at most he pours himself a glass of red wine at dinner. But Dean Song often took Jiaming to accompany different people to dinner, saying that he wanted to help Jiaming establish contacts. At the dinner table, Jiaming was always forced to keep toasting with others with liquor, not only asking him to drink, but also asking him to take the initiative to talk to others and learn to find words without words, which made Jiaming, who was a little introverted, very depressed. β
The tenant who was about to move into the house was really similar to her husband, Zhang Lin glanced at Han Jun affectionately. He smiled bitterly and said, "Dean Song is a little overly enthusiastic, no matter what Jiaming thinks in his heart. With 'communication skills are the mother of success', 'guts equals the project.' The amount of alcohol equals the amount of money', and the theory of 'network is also productivity' guides him and transforms him. Even the backpack that Jiaming often carries also made Dean Song very dissatisfied, thinking that he was too studently, lacked scholarly demeanor, and couldn't control others.
For another example, Jiaming is very disgusted with smoking, and in his opinion, smoking is another level of drug abuse that harms others and himself. But the leadership of the college is very addicted to smoking, and they can still refrain from it in the school venue. When I have a meeting at the college, I make decisions about my territory, and the conference room is always smoky. Jiaming and other young people could not protest, because most of the meetings were discussing how to package their projects and how to get them to PK out competitors from other colleges. β
Han Jun was very sympathetic to the returnee who was "unaccustomed to the soil and water", and said: "What makes Jiaming most depressed is that his beloved nuclear physics major was also criticized by Dean Song for being worthless, forcing him to change his research direction. It is believed that graphene is the hottest now, and it is possible to get a lot of money from the government by researching graphene. It is what the college needs, the Jiang Province needs, and the country urgently needs. β
"Why is Dean Song like this!"
"Things have to be divided into two, Dean Song can more or less understand the pain in the heart of the monk, just like parents forcing their children to participate in the math Olympics, although the children are bitter. But it doesn't matter so much. In his opinion, Jiaming is a good seedling who has not met for many years, and he has the responsibility to be responsible for his future development. Jiaming is like a son-in-law is a little dissatisfied with his father-in-law. No matter how hard it is, you can only chew it yourself. Swallow and digest slowly. β
Jiang Yi asked again: "Then why does he want to live in our house?" β
Zhang Lin explained with a smile: "The school stipulates that returnee doctors are one level higher than domestic doctors. It's like the section chief is one rank above the unit chief. Settling-in allowances, salaries, allowances, and scientific research start-up fees should be higher than those of domestic doctors. However, because there are too many mistakes, the policy stipulates that those who have obtained a doctorate abroad must be recognized after the designated department has verified their academic qualifications.
This certification usually takes three or four months. Before passing the academic certification, the personnel office of the university will not officially recognize Jia Ming's status as a returnee doctor. In other words, before the doctoral degree was certified, Jiaming did not even have a domestic high Chinese certificate, and the school had no documents to refer to pay him. β
"There's no money, but isn't his family rich?"
When he returned to China, his parents wanted to give him 1 million yuan for pocket money, but he thought that the school would give him 200,000 yuan after he returned to China, and he was directly hired as an associate professor. If you spend your parents' money again, what else will you talk about contributing to the motherland.
Unexpectedly, the price of domestic things is higher than that of foreign countries, plus renting a house and buying furniture, the euros and pounds brought back are quickly spent. I have been working for more than two months, I haven't gotten a penny, and I am suddenly strapped for money, and I can't even pay the rent. He has never borrowed money from others since he was a child, and he doesn't want to talk to his parents, so now he is homeless and can't even eat. β
Jiang Yi was happy, and couldn't help but smile: "It's the first time I've seen a returnee doctor like this." β
Han Jun patted her arm and said with a smile: "Professor Xu can't stand it, but the money belongs to Mrs. Xu, so she can only call us to see if we can lend a hand." His father dealt with me when he was buying a house in the United States, and the son of an old customer was in trouble and couldn't sit idly by.
I don't have time to go back to Jiangcheng, this difficult task can only be entrusted to you. Money is a trivial matter, the key is how to adapt him to the domestic environment. I am deeply touched by this, if it weren't for Director Bai, I really didn't know what to do when I first returned to China. You work hard, make a run, and come back to us when he really settles down. β
Yaoyao covered her mouth and smiled: "Beauty saves Dr., it's so cool!" β
Jiang Yi was made ridiculous, scratched her armpits and smiled: "How can I have time to save him, I have my job." β
"I forgot to tell you, master, I am an official again, an inspector of the Ministry of Public Security, not a deputy. My words are orders, and it is also work to let you go back. Stay at '801' during work hours, and help that unlucky guy after work. Isn't he engaged in nuclear physics, so he really can't help him find a new job, to build atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, nuclear power plants, etc., and there is no need to do things he doesn't like to do. β
"Master, if I have this ability, can I be your apprentice?"
"Go online, Zhilian Recruitment, 58.com, you look at it, as long as he is willing, he can teach English and physics."
The master and the lady have made up their minds, and this is their good intentions, Jiang Yi didn't want them to be unhappy, and after thinking about it, he asked: "What about the money, he is so poor that he can't even eat, how much money do you plan to let me bring to him?" β
Professor Han shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be helpless and said with a wicked smile: "Jiang, your master is pregnant, and the pressure on your master and me is getting bigger and bigger, and I really don't have any money left now." You have a salary and a deposit, advance it first, if he doesn't pay it back in the future, I will help you manage his old son. β
Jiang Yi was completely convinced, and asked with a smile: "Master, do you plan to let me even bring money upside down?" β
"If the potential stock is fake, don't be kind and don't know the liver and lungs of the donkey. If Director Bai knew that I had left such a good opportunity to you, she would have to be anxious with me. β
"She doesn't know?"
"She is busy making money in Beihe, so you have to seize the opportunity, the young man has a good character and a good family background, the more I look at your master, the more I like it, don't let us down, let us down again, just cut off the master-apprentice relationship with you."
Professor Han paused and added: "Don't worry about the case of that pole dancing girl, I'll investigate it after accompanying your sister to the hospital for examination, and I won't let her die unjustly." (To be continued......)
