After returning to China, he continued to serve in the diplomatic department, but the position was not greatly promoted, in order to find a better way out, Wang Kemin took the initiative to defect to the governor directly under the governor, to the governor as a master, for the sake of Shitu Wang Kemin can also be regarded as a disgrace, abandoning the official improper to be a master.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Wang Kemin's rice bowl was gone, and Wang Kemin, who had no place in China, went to France to study, and in France he knew some friends in the financial circles, and after returning to China, he turned to Yuan Shikai's men, got Yuan Shikai's weight, and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities.
