Moreover, her network and social circle have expanded a lot. In just half a year, she attended three parties, either celebrating her birthday or this anniversary.
Although they are just fake friends in the name of colleagues, it’s harmless to play with them sometimes.
However, she went to these parties alone and never invited others to her house. After all, Wall Street is so small, and her son Caleb is quite famous in the circle.
Sometimes when Xu Manman heard them discussing Caleb in the company, she had the illusion of breaking through the dimensional wall.
In early December, Xu Manman completed her doctoral thesis defense, and before Christmas, she officially received her master's and doctoral degrees.
Xu Jianguo also obtained a bachelor's degree in computer science from MIT, which means he graduated early.
Because Xu Manman's new project has not been completed yet, their return date has been postponed.
Before this, Xu Manman did two things. First, she determined her job after returning to China.
Xu Jianguo's situation is simpler than her. Like Chen Ming, he is a lecturer at Peking University and Tsinghua University and a researcher at the Computer Research Center.
His job level is a little lower than Chen Ming's original one, after all, he only has a bachelor's degree.
As for Xu Manman, in addition to being contacted by major universities, she was also interviewed by the embassy, hoping that she would go to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
"Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade?"
The middle-aged diplomat from the embassy came over with a gentle tone. "This is a newly established department, primarily responsible for import and export management, foreign investment, and foreign economic relations and trade. The message from above is that they think Miss Xu, having studied international finance abroad over the years and now having experience working in an investment bank, will be able to thrive in the foreign investment sector."
Xu Manman thought to herself, she wanted to be a lazy person, and it was easy to imagine how busy the newly established department was, which was not in line with her original intention at all.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei. Personally, I'd rather teach at a university. Rather than being responsible for specific matters, I'd probably prefer teaching and educating people, cultivating more talents for the country."
University teachers have winter and summer vacations, and now she has obtained a doctorate degree. Peking University and Tsinghua University directly gave her the title of professor and also provided her with housing. She reached the top in one step and can rest easy. Why does she have to struggle in the hard office?
It's not that she is unpatriotic or uncontributive, but her original intention of studying abroad was to have a better life. She really has no ambition.
"Of course, if anyone needs my help over there, you can always come to me." You can't be too firm in refusing someone, after all, the person was sent by the embassy.
"Miss Xu, are you really going to reconsider this? Or ask your family for their opinion?"
It was obvious that the people above had already checked her background before finding her. Was this a hint for her to look for her uncle?
"No need. My family never interferes with my choices in this regard. By the way, Mr. Wei, I need your help with something."
Wei Ming originally thought that today's mission was a sure thing, but he didn't expect to encounter such a stubborn person. However, his many years of diplomatic work made it impossible for him to show any emotional fluctuations on his face.
"Ms. Xu, please speak."
"Well, I studied finance. I've been trying to invest abroad in recent years and have made some money. I want to donate some of it. I heard that China is trying to universalize primary education, and I also want to contribute."
Xu Manman now has more than two million US dollars in her account, all earned from futures and stocks in recent years. There are many restrictions on cross-border transfers now, and she doesn't want to take it all out, as she is not short of money.
So she planned to withdraw half and donate it to the Ministry of Education, and keep the rest in the account and give it to Caleb Jin to help manage it, and use it when needed in the future.
She printed out the account flow and donation agreement in advance and handed them to Wei Ming. This was also a preview of her future funding source.
Wei Ming has been in the United States for several years and has some understanding of the stock and futures markets, but this young girl in front of him has earned more than two million US dollars with 1,500 US dollars in just three years, and now plans to donate one million US dollars.
At a time when foreign exchange is urgently needed, how much does this amount of money mean? Even though Wei Ming is well-informed, his expression is a little strained.
"Ms. Xu...Ms. Xu, are you serious?"
Xu Manman nodded, "Of course it's true. I was able to come out because of the support of my country, so repaying my motherland is my duty as a Chinese.
Also, my good friend, knowing the situation in China, wants to do his bit to help. He has entrusted me to donate $5 million. Is a check okay? Or a bank transfer?
