Chapter 561: The Big Urchin
Qin Guan moved slowly with Cong Nianwei's help . Vivian took advantage of this to take a picture of them . Another perfect photo of my idol .
Qin Guan rushed into Prof . Martin’s office like a storm .
"What are you talking about? You want leave at the beginning of the new semester? Are you daydreaming?"
Qin Guan smiled in a flattering manner . "Just for a week, sir . One week . . . "
Prof . Martin shook his head . "Impossible! Don't you want to keep your scholarship and get full marks?"
"I’ve finished all my elective courses during the last semester . "
"What? You finished all of them in the first semester? Are you kidding me?"
Prof . Martin began to type on his computer . Qin Guan was right . He had already passed all the elective courses for his postgraduate degree . He could make further choices on that solid foundation during the new semester .
Prof . Martin looked at the Asian boy as if at a rare treasure .
"Would you be interested in getting a PhD in Finance? If you keep up these scores, I think you could do great in the field of Finance . "
Qin Guan was speechless as he heard the passionate old man . If he said no, he would never be able to ask for leave in the future . Besides, he couldn't arrange his schedule at will . Prof . Martin noticed his hesitation and poured oil on the fire .
"A PhD student doesn't need to do much homework . If you finish the necessary research and complete your thesis, you can graduate happily without having to show up on campus every day . Besides, you could get to meet government officials and talented people of a higher class from all academic fields . "
In an effort to impress Qin Guan, Prof . Martin used his final weapon . "If you finish all your academic projects independently, you could get a sponsor . This would elevate your popularity, influence and social status . "
"Oh, I nearly forgot! The green card! Our government would be happy to issue a green card to a talented young man like you!"
His voice faded away gradually as he saw Qin Guan shake his head . "I’m not interested in getting a green card . As far as I know, only big investors get green cards . Plus, when one’s personal assets reach a certain standard, getting citizenship is a piece of cake . I’m happy to be Chinese . My career in America is supported by my compatriots . I’m only interested in having a looser schedule . "
"I have to think about it and discuss the matter with my family . "
So there’s still hope?
Prof . Martin rolled his eyes . I have to look for any short-term profits, if there are not going to be any long-term ones .
"Okay, you can consider my proposal . Take it easy . Now let’s get back to the problem at hand . The courses are not so intense during the first two weeks of the new semester, but we don't encourage students to ask for leave without a proper excuse . "
Qin Guan grimaced . Who would ask for leave without a proper reason? There is so much homework! The time one spends on homework would be enough to take on a second major .
He made the wise decision not to contradict his tutor though . Instead, he waited for him to speak .
"Considering that your previous short absence had no influence on your studies, I’ll accept your application . But you have to compensate me in some way . . . "
Qin Guan remained calm . "Bribery is prohibited at our college . "
Prof . Martin looked mad as he took a DV out of a drawer .
"Bribery? Rubbish! I just want a short video!"
"That's all?"
"That's all!"
"Deal!"
Qin Guan stood by the old man consciously . "What should I do?"
Prof . Martin combed his hair in front of a mirror and then cleared his throat . "Just smile . Leave the rest to me . . . "
He turned on the DV and smiled at the camera solemnly .
"Hey, my old friend! It’s Martin! Long time no see… A new semester has begun . How are things on the other side of the ocean? I’m brilliant! The college assigned two more projects to me . Besides, I’m pleased with my boy Qin Guan . Here he is! Isn’t he your favorite too?"
Qin Guan was confused, but he remained calm, his poker face still in place . Who will see this video? It seems like they know me too!
Prof . Martin kept singing his own praises as cold sweat covered Qin Guan's forehead .
