Regarding the matter of studying abroad, there was actually a lot of controversy on the Internet twenty years later in the previous life.

This is mainly because a large number of outstanding domestic intellectuals went abroad and never came back.

In addition, some people directly transformed into banana people after going abroad, resulting in a very bad impression on the Chinese people.

But in 2000, there was actually nothing to discuss about studying abroad.

These days, whenever a child has the opportunity to study abroad, even if it means selling everything, he must let the child go.

There is no way~ At this millennium, there is still a big gap between China and Western developed countries in terms of technology and economy.

Therefore, during this period, the country was very hungry for advanced Western knowledge.

This also means that as long as you can study abroad, even if you cannot stay abroad in the end, you can still become a popular person when you return to your country.

To put it bluntly, as long as you can study abroad in developed countries these days, it basically means that you will have a bright future.

Therefore, during this period, almost all qualified families in China wanted to send their children to study abroad.

Even many families who do not have the conditions want to let their children study abroad if conditions are created.

But if you ask how many of these children are willing to study abroad, it’s hard to say.

Especially girls~ Going to a foreign country to study alone is really a challenge for girls.

However, in China these days, it is almost impossible for the vast majority of children to refuse the "good intentions" from their parents.

Most children are accustomed to their parents' arrangements. When their parents let their children study abroad, few would choose to object.

Or, some children tried to object, but the objection was ineffective.

Li Xiaoying's family is obviously more open-minded in this regard, and they chose to respect Li Xiaoying's opinion.

With Li Xiaoying's family background, although it may be difficult to fully support Li Xiaoying's study abroad, it can still be supported.

So in terms of economy, there should be no problem in letting Li Xiaoying study abroad.

And with this girl's academic performance, it's probably not a problem to get a scholarship when she goes abroad.

Therefore, the decision of whether to study abroad was finally given to Li Xiaoying herself.

Li Xiaoying has unlimited yearning and expectations for studying abroad, but she also has a lot of worries.

After all, it was a foreign country~ It was really difficult for Li Xiaoying, who had just grown up.

Take Chen Li as an example. He went to Germany not long ago and he felt the cultural difference deeply.

Although Chen Li's German proficiency allowed him to avoid a large part of the inconvenience caused by the language, the cultural difference still made Chen Li very uncomfortable at the time.

Of course~ maybe Chen Li may have gotten used to it after staying there for a long time, but no matter what, studying abroad is still not easy for a young girl like Li Xiaoying who has just grown up.

Some people may say that with so many international students in China every year, aren’t others living well abroad?

What's wrong? Is Li Xiaoying special?

This, in fact, is just nonsense. It is said that it is "other people" and whether other people's lives are good or bad. What does Chenli have to do with it?

If he didn't know Li Xiaoying, if he didn't treat Li Xiaoying as his sister, then it would have nothing to do with him whether Li Xiaoying wanted to study abroad.

It was precisely because he had such a fate with Li Xiaoying that on the first morning of the New Year, Chen Li was willing to sit in the dining room and talk to this little girl about studying abroad.

"You are from the Chinese Department. What major do you want to study abroad?"

"I got an admission letter from Oxford Business School, and my parents wanted me to study economics."

Li Xiaoying started chatting with Chen Li while eating small sesame cakes and drinking tofu curd.

"Hi~tsk!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help but look at the little girl in front of him again, who could be said to be unkempt because she just got up.

Twenty years from now, the reputation of the University of Oxford may not be as good as those of the top universities in the United States.

But in 2000, the reputation of Oxford University in China was much stronger than that of MIT.

In particular, Oxford University and Cambridge University have even been included in domestic textbooks. The content, Chen Li remembers, seems to be about the annual rowing competition between these two universities.

And to be honest, at this time of the millennium, the global influence of Europa as a whole is far from what it will be twenty years later.

As one of the representative countries in Europe, the UK’s global influence is unquestionable.

Therefore, for a long time, British universities were actually the first choice for many international students in China.

As for the Business School of Oxford University, it is ranked among the top three in the UK, and even globally, its ranking is almost within the top ten.

So ~ this little girl is truly worthy of being the number one student in primary school that even Liu Qingqing admires.

But it's a sigh of relief, and we still have to talk about it.

"Economics seems to be a liberal arts subject!"

It is quite surprising to say that whether it is economics or finance, in fact, they often deal with numbers.

However, economics is classified as a liberal arts subject in China, and finance is not divided into liberal arts and sciences.

"Ahem~Okay!"

"To be honest, if you want to consult me ​​about studying abroad, you are actually asking the wrong person."

"Because I have never studied abroad, I can only give you some small-scale advice on the pros and cons of studying abroad."

"For example, when you go abroad, you should also know very well that education abroad, especially in the field of university education, is indeed better than what we do at home."

"So~ purely in terms of learning more advanced knowledge, it is naturally a very wise choice for you to study abroad."

"Furthermore, in terms of future employment prospects, it may be better for you to study abroad than to graduate from Yanda."

"Of course, the employment prospects here are based on our domestic employment situation."

"After all, I don't know much about the employment situation abroad, but now those turtles in China are very in demand."

"Let's do this~ Let me give you an example."

"As a boss, I have a position to recruit for."

"According to the current domestic employment prospects, if you are a graduate of an ordinary university, then I may give you a monthly salary of 1,500."

"If you are a graduate of a key university, I might give you anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500."

"But if he is a graduate of Yan University or Huaqing University, I might give him anywhere from 3,000 to 4,500."

"But if I am a graduate from an ordinary foreign university, the starting salary I need to pay may be increased to 5,000 or even higher!"

"If it's a top foreign university, it's like Oxford Business School, which your parents are going to let you go to."

"I estimate that if the monthly salary was not more than 10,000 yuan, I would be embarrassed to even ask."

"Attention~ I am just making an analogy based on the current employment situation in the country. I am not saying that the real salary level is like this."

"In fact, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, it is impossible to recruit top students who graduated from top universities."

"What I want to tell you is simply a phenomenon expressed in terms of industry treatment."

"I think you understand what I mean?"

Chen Li said a series of words, but Li Xiaoying opposite him was drinking tofu nao again, which made Chen Li suddenly want to drink another bowl.

However, he had already eaten a full breakfast, and the reason why he wanted to drink tofu nao was simply because he was attracted by Li Xiaoying's eating style.

"I understand, it's just that foreign monks like to recite sutras!"

"I read in newspapers that people often describe those returnees like this."

Li Xiaoying finished the second bowl of tofu puffs with a groan, and while clearing the table obediently, she returned.

"Hmm~ The meaning is pretty much the same."

"But you have to understand that studying abroad actually has another meaning."

Chen Li nodded, and then looked at Li Xiaoying who sat back down after cleaning up and continued to speak:

"migrant!"

When he said this, Chen Li suddenly paused, and then continued.

"Xiaoying~ You have to know that from the current level, our country's development level is still far behind those of developed countries in the West."

"After studying abroad and seeing the relatively developed society outside, many people may choose to immigrate based on their personal needs."

"Although, it does not mean that everyone who studies abroad is qualified to successfully immigrate."

"But those who have really learned something abroad in developed countries will not be stingy with an immigrant visa."

"Of course~ I'm not saying that those who returned to China didn't learn anything."

"In fact, many people choose to come back and serve the motherland after completing their studies."

"However, there are still many people who choose to stay abroad in the end."

"In fact, the reason why many people study abroad is simply to immigrate abroad."

"I won't"

Li Xiaoying interrupted Chen Li's speech, but was interrupted again by Chen Li's gesture.
