He might have been rich by Chinese standards but he was still poor by Western ones. He seemed to be vastly more interested in finding a job outside the university so he could stay in the country than actually trying to study for the classes he was taking.
And again note, I didn't say he was lazy, as far as we could tell he was taking a dozen interviews a week for work. He was however a complete academic deadbeat and terrible investment for the university.
In short, we got scammed, someone came over on a student visa, only to try their hardest to migrate permanently without adding anything of value to the university and group he was meant to be working in.

It is possible that his parents were richer than yours; they could be driving black Audi's, have multiple Ayi's (house keepers), and multiple apartments; you really can't tell! It is true that having their kids get a job in a western country is important even to middle class/rich Chinese; even they realize how unbalanced the employment situation is even if it often works in their favor. > And again note, I didn't say he was lazy, as far as we could tell he was taking a dozen interviews a week for work. This makes sense. They can lazy academically but, instilled by the habits of their parents, realize that the key to success is networking and career climbing rather than studying.
