Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan sat in the last row, and the two talked in a low voice before the press conference officially began.

"Xiaolan, how is the situation on Liu Xue's side?"

"I went to see her twice at school, and she was doing well over there, but she wasn't used to the diet. ”

"What's the atmosphere like at Morpheus University?"

"After all, it is a third-rate university, and the learning atmosphere is naturally not as good as that of MIT and Boston University, but fortunately, she specializes in dance, and she only needs to dance well, and the requirements for cultural courses are not very high, but ......"

"But what?"

"But she's a little inferior, and I'm worried that she's going to be psychologically twisted in the long run. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang wondered: "Isn't her dancing skills very good? She has won so many awards in China, why should she feel inferior?"

Zhang Xiaolan said with a wry smile: "The inferiority complex I said has nothing to do with dancing, but economic conditions, she was a relatively wealthy student when she was in China, and when she came to the United States, she found that she belonged to the poor class, and the gap was a bit big, so she naturally felt unbalanced." ”

If China's wealthy families come to the United States, they can really only be regarded as poor classes. If you want to live well in the United States, you must at least be middle-class.

According to Americans, the average income of the middle class should be at least $35,000 a year, and that's just the mark. The vast majority of wealthy families in China do not earn that much money.

Of course, the price level and the real purchasing power of the currencies in the two countries are different, but since they have come to the United States, they have to be denominated in dollars. Looking at it this way, if the extremely rare 10,000 yuan households in China come to the United States, they will only be slightly better than beggars.

Before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, Zhang Xiaolan continued: "Xiaoqiang, can you implement the plan to invest in the home appliance industry in advance? I want to find Liu Xue a part-time job, which can allow her to earn pocket money, so that she will not want to think crookedly." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang now doesn't even have the rental and decoration costs of the hunter company, so naturally he has no money to invest in the home appliance industry.

He thought for a while and replied: "You go and tell Liu Xue to let her learn English well, if she can pass the assessment, I can arrange a part-time job for her, although the salary is not as good as a regular job, but it is not less." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang had already discussed with Kailena the recruitment plan of the hunter company, in order to save costs, the hunter company would only recruit college students to work part-time in the early stage, and only recruit regular workers when they earned money, so as to build a relatively stable staff base.

Zhang Xiaolan looked embarrassed: "It is difficult for her English level to improve in the short term, why don't you introduce her to a relatively simple job?"

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Is she willing to clean up?" If she wants, I can arrange it for her. ”

Cleaners are low-end jobs in China, and they are basically done by older people, Liu Xue is young, and the previous living conditions are relatively superior, Niu Xiaoqiang is not sure whether she is willing.

Zhang Xiaolan thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "I'll ask her, if she is willing, then it's easy to say, if she doesn't want to, I can only find another way, by the way, what is the salary of this job?"

"This part-time job is calculated according to the shift, the salary of a shift is fifteen dollars, and according to the calculation of a normal working day of 22 days a month, you can earn three hundred and thirty dollars a month, you make it clear to her, the area that needs to be cleaned is not too large, mainly the office area, as long as you do a good job of hygiene. ”

Zhang Xiaolan snorted: "I'll make it clear to her, how did I calculate the money I owe you?"

Niu Xiaoqiang helped Zhang Xiaolan repay thousands of dollars in debt, and according to the agreement between the two, this money will be deducted from Zhang Xiaolan's salary. Ms. Zhang had previously worked on an artificial intelligence project for several days, and she did not ask how much she was paid at the time.

Niu Xiaoqiang replied with a smile: "The money you owe me has been offset from my salary, in addition to the surplus of eight thousand dollars, when the professor gets the follow-up research and development funds, I will pay you the eight thousand dollars." ”

Zhang Xiaolan didn't expect her salary to be so high, and she almost jumped up with joy.

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly held her down and whispered: "Pay attention, there are too many people here, don't get too carried away." ”

Although it was still early days, many people had already entered the multipurpose hall, and the space that could have accommodated more than 200 people was almost full.

Zhang Xiaolan hurriedly nodded in agreement, and whispered: "I will invite you to dinner after I get paid, this is what I said a long time ago, don't shirk it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded: "No problem, I will definitely go to the banquet then." ”

"What do you do? Do you have a press card?"

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang's words fell, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face asked very unceremoniously. Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and found that this person was carrying two large bags, followed by a beautiful woman in professional clothes, and it seemed that the two should be reporters from a certain news unit.

Because the other party's tone of speech was very unpolite, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't give the other party a good face, he frowned and said: "This is the place of MIT, I am a student of MIT, and I still need an interview card to come here?"

Hearing this, Hu Hu looked at Zhang Xiaolan: "What about her, is she also a student at MIT?"

"She's not a MIT student, but she's in a partnership with MIT, and both of us were personally invited by Professor Watson to attend the press conference. ”

Beard originally wanted to occupy the position of the two, but when he heard that the two were invited by Professor Watson, he looked at the two again with a suspicious gaze, and then asked, "Is this true?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said lightly: "Does it really have anything to do with you? Don't you just want to occupy a seat? I'm sorry, we came first, and we won't give you a seat." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't bother to talk to the other party anymore, turned his head and continued to chat with Zhang Xiaolan.

The beard originally wanted to give a shout and drive the two foreigners away. Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was full of momentum, not like an ordinary international student, he didn't dare to shout anymore, so he honestly found a space in the corridor and began to set up a camera.

The female reporter who came with him glared at Niu Xiaoqiang fiercely, snorted and went over to help.

Niu Xiaoqiang said disdainfully: "You should be tough on these guys, otherwise they will think that you are a good bully and will have to give you an inch." ”

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but smile and said: "This is your home field, with Professor Watson to support you, of course you are not afraid." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the safe placed next to the rostrum, and said with a smile: "Professor Watson is really good at making an atmosphere, and he actually put the robot in the safe, which brings out the high-end image of the robot, and it is estimated that when he opens the safe, these reporters will all be dumbfounded." ”
