He glanced at the other person with a meaningful look and replied casually: "After you can apply for graduation at any time, where are you?"

"I..." Lu Xuedong wanted to speak, picked up the hot coffee and took a sip, finally sighed, and said embarrassedly: "Ha! I plan to stay in the United States."

"Xuedong, if there are any difficulties, don't hide it alone in your heart."

The reason why Huang Xiuyuan said this is because he understood the other party.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Xuedong held the hot coffee tightly in his hands, as if feeling the little bit of the warmth conveyed by the cup.

After a long period of silence, his eyes whispered slightly red: "My mother is sick, she is in the late stage of uremia."

"So you plan to stay in the United States and find a job?"

“Marshall’s mentor recommended me to go to Texas Instruments, and I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Lu Xuedong, who seemed dull, actually had a hot heart. The other party once said vigorously that he hoped that after he succeeded in his studies, he would return to China to join the semiconductor industry.

Unlike Huang Xiu of Xiaofu Family, Lu Xuedong's parents are farmers who face the loess and are facing the sky. The funds for his study abroad depend on work-study during college and writing outsourcing procedures for some small companies.

When I went to the United States to study for a doctorate in semiconductors, I have been working part-time. I rely on some scholarships and I dare not even rent a dormitory. I can only keep taking advantage of the laboratory and resting all night in the laboratory.

In recent years, not only did I not ask for money from my family, but I also remitted a lot of money to my family to support my younger brothers and sisters in school.

Lu Xuedong has a kind of perseverance. If it weren't for the sudden bad news, he would definitely not have violated his ideals.

A penny stumped the hero, and reality is so cruel.

On the one hand, he turned his back on his ideals and chose to stay in the United States to work, get a high salary from Texas Instruments, treat his mother's uremia, and subsidize some household expenses.

On the one hand, he sticks to his ideals and returns to the country resolutely. The situation he will face may be the uncertain future and the heavy economic burden.

The feelings of the country and the attachment of the family collided violently at this moment.

In the end, Lu Xuedong chose to surrender and chose Texas Instruments' high salary.

The calm Huang Xiuyuan picked up the hot milk and took a sip. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he didn't know how to speak.

Unless you have the ability to help the other party, it is best not to persuade others casually. Do not persuade others to be good without the suffering of others.

Just when he thought of the future, Lu Xuedong's miserable ending, he couldn't help but sigh.

In my memory, after joining Texas Instruments, Lu Xuedong successively engaged in semiconductor material improvement and new semiconductor processes, becoming an important senior engineer in the company.

Until 2020, the new Cold War pattern was officially confirmed, which made him think of returning to China. Unfortunately, Lu Xuedong underestimated human nature.

In January of the following year, just the day before he was about to board the plane, he was found dead in his apartment.

The result of the forensic autopsy was that he was shot seven times behind his back, which was considered suicide.

Although the two are three years apart in age and are not studying at Harvard University in the same year, fate is difficult to explain.

Looking back on the past, we know each other and become friends.

After being deeply moved, Huang Xiuyuan was also thinking about some things. Considering that he did not want to give up Lu Xuedong as a talent.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision in his heart.

"Xuedong, I will lend you 15,000 yuan. My aunt needs dialysis now, and the money should last for about a year."

"This..." Lu Xuedong was both excited and at a loss.

Before the other party could speak, Huang Xiuyuan continued, "I plan to go back to China to start a business. How about we make an agreement?"

"Please say that as long as you can, you must do your best." Lu Xuedong replied with his fists tightly clenched.

"It lasts for three months. If I can give you a signing fee of 1 million yuan, you must work for me for 10 years. If I can't do it, you can choose Texas Instruments!"

Lu Xuedong didn't even think about it: "Okay, I agree."

Although he didn't believe it, he still kept a little fantasy. If he could, returning to China to devote himself to semiconductors was his ideal.

Even if there is no strong foundation there, he still has not changed his ideals. Lu Xuedong is a pure person. If it weren't for the fate of fate, he would never have stayed in the United States for more than ten years.

The two of them had their own thoughts. After lunch, they transferred 15,000 yuan to Lu Xuedong.

Looking at the 15,000 meter yuan in the account, Lu Xuedong felt a heavy heart in his heart, and finally he only said: "Thank you, Xiuyuan."

"I wish you will be a teenager after half of your life."

"must."

At the entrance of the cafeteria, watching the gradually distant back, Huang Xiuyuan was about to go back to the dormitory, and his eyes swept across the side of the restaurant door. It was a newspaper stand.

A morning newspaper fell into sight, and I picked up the newspaper casually. The freshly baked ink smell lingered in it.

A title that is not big or small is coming into view.

[……In the latest period of Powerball, no one won the prize again. The current prize prize pool has accumulated to 230 million meters...]

Huang Xiuyuan immediately searched for relevant information from his memory. After more than ten seconds, thousands of clear images were locked by him.

Some of these fragments are memories of the past and are directly excluded, and the future that is too long will also be excluded.

There are only three clips left in the past month. The most recent clip is a news report on the 27th of this month. It was a scene he accidentally saw when browsing online news.

There was a taxi driver who won the first prize in that period.

Putting down the newspaper, he hurried back to the dormitory.

He was searching for some situations in Powerball on the Internet, and his understanding of Powerball was limited to hearsay, mainly because one of his roommates was playing.

Huang Xiuyuan, who was browsing the web page, muttered to himself: "It's a bit troublesome!"

Because he is in Massachusetts, there is no Powerball sales point, so he can only go to Connecticut next door to buy it.

It is Thursday the 24th, and the Powerballs are all Wednesday and Saturday. There are still two days left. Seeing that it is still early, I called the car rental hotline of the car rental company Enterprise and booked a car.

Bring his driver's license, wallet and cell phone, he went out again.

The weather was slightly better at noon, and a few rays of sunshine scattered through the clouds.

I came to the parking lot of the car rental company Enterprise, paid 24 meters of rent, and got the booked car, which was an ordinary Toyota.

Passing downtown Boston, heading straight to Hartford (the capital of Connecticut), 162 kilometers away, the highway traffic is not large under the cold and snowy weather.

After driving for more than an hour and forty minutes, the car stopped near a lottery sales point, but he did not walk in directly, but came to a few dozen meters away, walked into a bakery, and bought a bag of bread.

When passing by the door of the lottery sales point, Huang Xiuyuan stopped and walked into the warm sales point.

After looking at the lottery trend chart on the wall, he pretended to fill in five sets of numbers randomly. After paying 5 meters, he left with the Powerball lottery.

I drove a car and wandered in downtown Hartford for more than half an hour before driving back to Boston.

After four hours, Huang Xiuyuan returned to the dormitory and saved the lottery. This was the fastest way to obtain start-up capital.

Moreover, there are not many opportunities for this kind of money, so you must get the money before the butterfly effect is not great.

Although he has other ways to obtain a sum of funds, such as the increasingly serious subprime mortgage crisis, it is a rare opportunity.

It’s just through financial means that there is no way to obtain large amounts of funds at once, and the operation is also difficult. You must be wary of those guys on Wall Street.

Once the movement is too big, the Americans are not vegetarians.
