Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 22 The soul is gone

After Josh Lambert called, Xie Zihao got into his car, and Melinda followed him in her Beetle and drove to the hospital with his car.

After the car started, it was quiet for a while. As if to ease the tension and worry, Josh Lambert took the initiative to reminisce with Xie Zihao, his student.

"Lance, I remember you were admitted to Nanjing University. Have you graduated now?"

At this time, Josh called Xie Zihao's name affectionately and did not call him Mr. Sherman again, because it was a more intimate reminiscence in private.

Xie Zihao nodded and replied:

"I just graduated two months ago and haven't found a job yet. I'm majoring in archeology and cultural relic restoration. You know, Josh..."

As a high school teacher, Josh Lamport has also experienced college years, so he naturally understands the details. After hearing Xie Zihao's major, he immediately understood the problem.

"So that's it. It's really hard to find a job in your major, but I think you can consider going back to school to continue your studies. This may make it easier to find a job. I think your situation should be able to support the two-year tuition for a master's degree."

As someone who had just bought a new house, Lamport certainly knew that the house prices in Xie Zihao's area were much more expensive than the old house he bought. It would be almost the same to exchange for a small manor in a lower-priced suburb.

In his opinion, the major that Xie Zihao studied was relatively low-income, and it was a third-rate major in a second-rate department affiliated to NTU. If he did not have a high enough academic qualification, it would be really difficult to compete for the same job as his predecessors, and archeology and cultural relics

Repairs and other work are often very tiring, and the pay is not high.

"Thank you for your advice, Josh, but I have no idea of ​​continuing my studies recently. Choosing this major is my hobby. Maybe I can also do some antique business in the future. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

After hearing this, Lamport didn't give any more advice. Compared with those young people who were burdened with heavy student loan pressure, his situation as a student was much better. At least he had no debt pressure and he was not hungry.

He changed the subject and asked:

"So how is that boy Todd doing now?"

Lamport was asking about his original best friend and best friend, Todd Bruno, whom he played with from middle school to college.

Hearing this, thinking of that harmful friend, Xie Zihao couldn't help but smile and said:

"He is not as unlucky as me. Now he is working as a director's assistant on a Hollywood production crew, working hard towards his dream of becoming a great director!"

Yes, Xie Zihao also thinks that he was unlucky, or too idealistic. Although he studied at a prestigious school like Nanjing University, he chose the major of archeology and cultural relic restoration, which is almost unpopular among the unpopular.

Outsiders don't know it, but I have been studying in school for four years and it is clear to me that this type of major is often prepared for wealthy children who want to attend prestigious schools. It is a department with high fees but low professional ranking.

After all, if you don’t use the donations from the rich, they will flow into the pockets of other schools. The leadership of NTU is not pedantic, so naturally they will not let these funds go. Wouldn’t it be good to use them to fund the school’s scientific research and construction or private pockets?

?

Of course, it's definitely not corruption on the surface, but using various reasonable and legal means to benefit them. This is already an open secret in the academic circle, and I heard about it occasionally when I was working for professors in school.

of.

Therefore, it costs a lot to study in this major, and there are not many scholarships. The children of rich people don't care, but for students like Xie Zihao who are admitted to this major, the pressure is great.

The pressure here is not that his major is a waste of time, but that it is expensive to study and it is difficult to find a suitable job after graduation.

For example, the diploma and bachelor's degree in archeology and cultural relic restoration that I obtained are already extremely unpopular majors, with very narrow employment opportunities. The main options are to join various national and private archaeological teams, or public institutions.

You can work in the restoration and maintenance of cultural relics in private museums. Of course, you can also work as an appraiser in the antique and art auction circles, but without fame and academic qualifications, it is difficult for a young man like him to find a suitable position.

Moreover, if he wants to get a job, he has to compete with masters and doctoral students who have graduated in his major over the years and even the professors who teach them. There are more wolves than meat. Xie Zihao doesn't know what he is going to compete with?

That's why Lanport, as a teacher, pointed out that Xie Zihao should go to graduate school, so that he would be more competitive in getting a high degree.

Those children from rich families don't pay much attention to professional knowledge. They can use the knowledge they have learned to show off their talents when socializing, but students from ordinary families really have to rely on this to make a living. I guess they won't be able to make a living if they don't change careers.

Many people will starve to death!

It’s just that Xie Zihao knew that he really loved this field. At the same time, his parents had passed away and he had no elders to give him guidance, so he happily signed up for this major.

Speaking of which, to Xie Zihao, the profession itself doesn't matter. Now he doesn't rely on this profession to make a living. The memory of the original owner has also brought him professional skills and a good hobby.

And as a time traveler, he is confident that even if he has no professional skills or knowledge, there are ways to make money.

However, after the two of them reminisced about old times, the atmosphere in the car became much more relaxed, and as they spoke, they had already arrived at the destination of their trip.

When they arrived at the hospital, they met Lamport's wife and two children, as well as his eldest son Dalton, who was unconscious in the hospital bed.

A very cute little boy.

The other two children, the eldest boy, is only a few years old, and the younger daughter is still in her infancy.

But when Melinda "looked" at Dalton carefully, her face became very ugly, and she said to the Lamberts:

"Dalton's soul is no longer here, which should be the reason why he is unconscious."

The two couples asked in great horror:

"Miss Wilson, please help us!"

"Please, save my child..."

Melinda had no idea about the situation at hand, so she thought for a while and said:

"I didn't see any traces of the puppet here. Now I just have to go to your old house and have a look. Maybe I can find some clues!"

Hearing what Melinda said, the Lamberts were a little disappointed, but they still decided to listen to the psychic lady's arrangements. After all, they had no other choice.

But Lena Lambert suddenly remembered something and said to Melinda sheepishly:

"Sorry Miss Wilson, I was scared and panicked after Josh left, so I called my friend again, and through her introduction, I contacted a psychic. She said she would come over to help today..."

Melinda naturally felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. This situation was equivalent to a woman getting married twice. However, considering that she was not sure about solving this commission, she smiled at Lena and said:

"It doesn't matter, who did you invite? If she doesn't mind, I can cooperate with her to see if we can solve your problem."

Mr. and Mrs. Lamport both beamed when they heard this, and were happy that Melinda was so kind. For both of them, having an expert to help solve their own problems would naturally have a higher success rate.

Lena immediately called to tell them the situation. After a while, she hung up the phone and said excitedly:

"Mrs. Elis said we can cooperate. She will come over with my friend soon!"

It’s gone today.

There are three stories that have appeared so far, and I see that two book friends have already guessed two.

Nirvana 0Rong and Book Friend 140709212821025 answered correctly respectively! Interested friends can read this chapter of Chapters 21 and 19, the answer is in it.

I think the reminder is very obvious, but in order to prevent possible copyright issues in the future, some original character names and part of the plot will be slightly modified.

I don’t know if it’s useful, but it’s better than nothing!
