There was no banquet that would never end in this world. Irene was back and Jennie was leaving.
After this period of contact, Jennie, Fang Xie, Ashan, and Nayeon 's relationship had been very good. During her departure, everyone was reluctant to let her go.
Nayeon asked her, "Sister Jennie, when you go back, will you be recognized, ah?"
"No," Jennie denied categorically, "Do you know how many Asians there are in our graduate school combined with PhD students?"
"Uh..." Nayeon stalled, stuck. "I don't know."
"Only five. Moreover, only two speak Koreans, including me, and the other one is still on ABC."
Geology was a poor discipline. If postgraduates developed in the engineering direction, that would be okay. There was basically no way to make 'money' in the theoretical direction she was taking.
You shouldn't be fooled by the fact that studying abroad would make you sought-after, most students would still choose majors that could be practiced. Geology was a side field of study. The Institute had a limited number of recruits a year, and Jennie was one of the very few women in their department; a black-haired, black-eyed Korean, as precious as a giant panda.
Later, her instructors and classmates simply called her Panda Kim.
Jennie was not worried at all that she would be recognized when she returned to the United States.
Foreigners basically find Asians similar. Once she took off her makeup and changed into a tee, who could link her with the bright and shiny Ruby on the screen again?

As she expected, after she returned to school, she went back to her quiet life in the lab—home—field—professor's office. Every day, she would go to the research lab to write her thesis, and at night, she would wait for the moon to rise high and then go home in the darkness.
Her mentor had only two PhD students, and the other black brother had not yet graduated after six years of study.
When she returned from her leave, her mentor asked her, "Panda Su, did you settle things at home?"
When she applied for a leave to return home, she told her mentor the truth —
— Her mother had died; her sister had disappeared; and she was left with a large debt to deal with — Her mentor exclaimed, "Oh my gosh," and quickly granted her leave.
Jennie replied, "Thank you for your concern. My sister is back from her break, and the debt problem has been solved."
The mentor said, "That's good, that's good. By the way, what are you considering for your job? I can write a letter of recommendation for you, and of course, if you want to continue your postdoctoral studies, I can recommend a mentor for you."
