Chapter: 4856
Leaf Zhen saw that he was very concerned about his nationality on one hand, but also talked about himself as a government scholarship student in the past, and seemed very proud. He couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted.
In fact, he didn't like this kind of person very much.
There were indeed many graduates from top universities at home, as well as those students who had studied abroad on scholarships and eventually chose to stay overseas. It was said that there were thousands of Tsinghua University graduates who had chosen to stay in Silicon Valley, America.
Of course, whether to go or stay in such a situation is entirely up to individual willingness, but Lang Hong Jun's case is indeed different from others. After all, he was a government scholarship student who had studied abroad with national funding, and it was only reasonable for him to return to China after completing his studies to contribute to the motherland. However, he chose to stay in America directly, which was unacceptable behavior. From a moral perspective, this kind of behavior is not honorable, so Leaf Zhen couldn't help but feel some disdain towards him.
So, after just a few words, Leaf Zhen had already developed some resentment towards Lang Hong Jun.
However, he didn't get too emotional and intentionally flattered Lang Hong Jun by saying, "The prestige of government scholarship students is said to be very high. You're indeed remarkable!"
When Leaf Zhen praised him, Lang Hong Jun's expression showed off his arrogant pride, but his attitude towards Leaf Zhen was also friendlier, smiling and saying, "In our era, the requirements for government scholarship students were indeed quite high. A school wouldn't even have more than a few slots."
Leaf Zhen nodded slightly, curious and asking, "Oh, what are you going to do in Mexico? Are you going there on official business or to do business?"
Lang Hong Jun's expression suddenly froze before he replied awkwardly, "I... I'm going to work..."
The mention of work caused Lang Hong Jun's expression to become clearly unnatural. To be precise, the original arrogance and pride due to his government scholarship student identity were replaced by self-consciousness.
As he mentioned going to Mexico to work, Lang Hong Jun suddenly felt some embarrassment.

Yè Chén Mǐn's perception caught up with his change, combining it with his previous continuous years of job-hopping and income decreasing, until later being unemployed for over a year. He could also guess that this time he went to Mexico, it was absolutely an involuntary choice driven by the helplessness of life.
He let out a sigh and opened his mouth: "Look at your expression, I'm sure going to work in Mexico is an involuntary move. In fact, I'm no different from you - unless it's absolutely necessary, I wouldn't want to go to Mexico."
Lang Hong Jun curiously asked him: "What are you going to do in Mexico?"
Yè Chén replied casually: "I don't know what I'll be doing yet. It's just that my US visa is about to expire, and originally I was thinking of going back down first before saying anything. But recently the immigration department has been checking for illegal immigrants tightly. My uncle, who is a few months older than me, got deported back home recently, so I'm thinking of leaving the US as soon as possible before my visa expires."
Lang Hong Jun asked puzzled: "You can't make it in the US? You can always go back to your hometown. The environment there may not be as good as the US, but it's definitely stronger than Mexico."
Yè Chén said awkwardly: "Actually, I just couldn't take it anymore at home. Before that, I owed a lot of money and now if I go back, I might even get arrested."
As soon as Lang Hong Jun heard these words, he laughed and opened his mouth: "You're running away from debt?"
"Hmph..." Yè Chén smiled awkwardly twice, saying sheepishly: "I borrowed a bit too much. With poor management, the deficit is quite large, and I can't even pay it back, so I have to leave for now."
As he spoke, Yè Chén asked curiously: "Old brother, since you're a government-sponsored scholarship student from years ago, you must be high-end talent. How come you're going to Mexico, which is completely different from the US?"
Lang Hong Jun's expression became somewhat melancholic and said: "It can't be helped. At this age, in the US, if you haven't achieved financial freedom by 35-40 years old, it's probably going to be eliminated by the capital. Even with rich work experience, what can you do? Young people's salaries are your quarter or even half of yours. How dare you take on a solo project? Two people combined are stronger than one person. Three stinky beggars can still surpass one Zhuge Liang."
As he spoke, Lang Hong Jun sighed and said: "You're like us, always with new technologies coming out. Old employees like us, even those who have many years of experience, find it difficult to learn new technologies as quickly as young people do. It's easy for us to be eliminated." JrNovels.com
