Chapter 59 59【Green Card】
"Thank you, PAPA." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile when he heard it.
A Maserati, even a base model, costs $70,000.
Although Xiang Nan was determined not to be a parasite anymore and rejected the Kusapari couple's support, since it was a well-deserved reward, he would not be foolish enough to refuse it.
And $70,000 will allow him to do a lot of things.
"Lalita Kuta's parents are also very satisfied with you, and they are already urging you to hurry up and get married." Mrs. Kusapari smiled again, her words were full of pride.
"Yes, MAMA, but I still want to wait for a while." Xiang Nan nodded.
Although he is often with Lalita Kuta, the relationship between the two is also very close, and he has done everything that should be done and should not be done, but he does not want to marry Lalita now.
On the one hand, the development of the quantum navigation system is in a critical period, and he doesn't care about marriage at all; Some hesitated.
"I also suggest waiting and seeing." Dr. Kusapari agreed.
If before, on Xiang Nan's terms, Lalita was still required to marry him, the situation has changed now.
Xiang Nan is now a top scientist who is praised all over India. And Lalita Kuta is just an ordinary graduate student of the University of Southern California, majoring in dentistry.
There is already a very obvious gap in fame and status between the two parties.
So in this case, Xiang Nan doesn't have to rush to marry Lalita. With his fame and status, he can definitely find better ones.
"Thank you, PAPA." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
…
The Kusapari couple reached an agreement with Xiang Nan, and they were not in a hurry to marry Lalita Kuta.
But Lalita Kuta listened to her parents' persuasion and knew that Xiang Nan is no longer what it used to be, and she must hurry up to complete the marriage contract.
Otherwise, Xiang Nan will probably not marry her because of the long nights and many dreams.
So she urged Xiang Nan to hurry up and get married.
"Raj, I think we should get married early." She suggested to Xiang Nan.
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Xiang Nan said in surprise, "Didn't it be agreed before that you will get married after you graduate from your master's degree."
"Yes, but getting married will not prevent me from studying for a master's degree." Lalita explained, "Besides, if I get married early, my parents will feel at ease, and I can serve you better as a wife. Is this not good? ?”
"Of course it's good. If it's not good, I won't be with you anymore." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But to be honest, getting married is a very energy-intensive thing.
We have to go back to India when we get married, and it takes at least a month from the preparation to the official wedding. For such a long time, how much study and work will be delayed.
You are now at a critical time for your studies, and my research is also at a critical time. One month is really too long, you and I simply cannot afford to delay it. "
"I know, but I really want to get married," Lalita insisted.
"I know, I want to marry you too. But marriage is not a trivial matter. It means responsibility and obligation. After we get married, half of our energy will be put on the family, which will delay our study and work." Xiang Nan persuaded, "I advise you to think carefully and don't rush to make a decision."
"After all, you just don't want to marry me?" Lalita couldn't help asking angrily when she saw that Xiang Nan was always evasive.
"Of course not, I swear to Shiva, I really want to marry you." Xiang Nan raised his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, you must believe in Shiva."
"Okay, then you swear to Shiva that you will marry me." Lalita nodded.
"OK. I swear to the great Shiva, I will definitely marry Lalita, otherwise I will be punished to go to **** in the next life." Xiang Nan immediately swore.
Xiang Nan secretly smiled in his heart.
Neither he nor Raj believed in Shiva at all.
Swear by Him, even if you swear, your hair will be gray.
…
The sudden increase in fame has also made Xiangnan's green card application extremely simple.
On January 25th, he officially received his green card and obtained the right of permanent residence.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about being kicked out of the United States due to the invalidation of his short-term work visa.
More importantly, after getting the green card, he can apply to become a U.S. citizen after staying in the U.S. for five years.
The most important point is that after getting the green card, it is extremely helpful to protect his legal rights.
Especially now that he has developed a quantum navigation system with Howard and Leslie, because it has a wide range of military applications, it is likely to be pressured by the military.
If he is just a foreign worker with a short-term visa, his rights will be easily violated. He may be expelled from the United States if he moves a little.
At that time, he will be banned from entering the United States for life, even if there is a big grievance, it is impossible to get revenge.
Now after he gets his green card, his status is almost equivalent to that of a U.S. citizen, and his rights are protected by the U.S. Constitution. It is not so easy for the military to suppress him.
…
In addition to obtaining the green card, Xiang Nan also received the University Science Award from Caltech.
This award mainly rewards people who have made outstanding contributions in the field of science, and only one person can win the award each year.
And you must know that Caltech, as one of the top universities in the United States, has gathered a large number of top scientific and technological talents. There are six Nobel Prize winners who are still teaching.
Therefore, it is very difficult to win this award.
Like Sheldon has been working in the school for four years and has made outstanding contributions to string theory, even so, he still has not been recognized by the university award.
"Raj, congratulations!" Howard smiled and congratulated, "I didn't expect that you would get the college award earlier than Sheldon. I think his nose must be crooked."
"It's fine with him." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
He didn't care about Sheldon's affairs long ago.
With his current quantum navigation system, "Super Asymmetry Theory", and Hadron Collider test analysis, etc., his academic achievements, popularity and status have far surpassed Sheldon.
"Do I still need to care about him now?" He laughed again.
Howard nodded in agreement.
Actually, let’s not talk about Xiang Nan. Even he, after the quantum navigation system is successfully developed, will no longer pay attention to Sheldon.
Because the string theory studied by Sheldon has not been verified for a long time, it is still just a fantasy theory, with almost no value.
In comparison, his quantum navigation system is real and visible, and once it is successfully developed, it can be widely used.
At that time, he can gain both fame and fortune. It is much better than Sheldon who has been pondering for a lifetime but has not been verified for a long time.
"That's true." He nodded with a smile, "By the way, our project can be completed by the beginning of next month at most."
"That's great, I can't wait." Xiang Nan also laughed.
