While Charlie and Kathleen were shopping in the mall, Marianne, who was preparing for her thesis that was due soon, suddenly received an email from Aurous University.
When she saw the two words ‘Aurous University’, she became very excited and quickly opened the email. After that, she could not help but read out the content of the email softly, “Dear Miss Marianne, I hope you’re well. I’m Rita Linzey, the person in charge of the Outstanding Talent Introduction Program at Aurous University. I have received your resume and cover letter. After our preliminary review, we believe that your situation is consistent with the needs of our Outstanding Talent Introduction Program. You are invited to come to Aurous University for an interview. The interview time is...”
When Marianne saw this, she immediately exclaimed and cheered excitedly, “This is great!”
Marianne’s classmate and friend, Kori Canvin, who was aside, was quietly searching for information when she suddenly heard Marianne shout. She asked in surprise, “Marianne, what’s wrong with you? What made you so excited?”
Marianne said without hesitation, “I received an interview notice from Aurous University. I can go for the interview after I finish my thesis! If I pass the interview, I will stay at Aurous University to teach!”
Kori was dumbfounded and said, “Marianne, are you serious? You are about to graduate with a doctorate at Hong Kong University. The university would definitely be eager to accept you if you want to stay and teach at the university. Why would you need to go and teach in a university in Oskia that isn’t up to standard?”
Marianne said very seriously, “Aurous University is not a university that isn’t up to standard. On the contrary, it is a national double first-class university with strong faculty strength as well as a development background.”
Kori blurted out, “No matter how strong it is, it cannot possibly be stronger than Hong Kong University. Moreover, if you stay at Hong Kong University, you will not need to leave Hong Kong, and you can be at home as you work. No matter what it is, it is still much better than going to Oskia to develop.”
Marianne smiled slightly and said seriously, “I’ve stayed in Hong Kong for so many years. It’s time for me to go and see the outside world!”
Kori curled her lips and said, “What’s so good about the outside world? I don’t think any place can be as good as Hong Kong. Marianne, your family is rich and powerful and can call the shots in Hong Kong. Why are you running all the way to Oskia instead of guarding this power that you possess?”
