Chapter 91 Praising me behind my back? It can't be anything good!
Chen Jin looked at the paper in front of him and rubbed his temples hard.
He looked more exhausted than ever before.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"How does Jinling University know all this?"
He took the paper and materials in his hand and went directly to a building next door.
"Chen Jin, what are you doing here so late?"
Xia Ning was still a little sleepy.
His brows furrowed.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Jin was somewhat unfriendly.
Chen Jin is always causing trouble. The last time he caused trouble at Jinling University, the only solution was to demote him.
Nowadays, he's just holding a sinecure.
But he still leads the project.
Coming to him in the middle of the night, it can't be anything good.
"Dean Xia, something has happened."
"Come in and talk," Xia Ning said, frowning.
His expression also carried a sense of helplessness.
Soon, the two went inside.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"Take a look at this paper."
Chen Jin handed over the paper directly.
Xia Ning turned on all the lights in the living room before putting on her glasses and carefully reading the paper.
"This paper... is good."
Xia Ning quickly finished browsing and nodded slightly.
"That's it?" Chen Jin asked, bewildered. "It says here that we plagiarized minimalism!"
"Isn't that plagiarism?" Xia Ning rolled her eyes at him.
Only then did he slowly speak, "As long as we do a good job on the project, that's enough."
"The rest doesn't matter. You don't need to care too much. What they say and what they talk about is their business. As for us, we just need to handle our own problems. Once our project is implemented, their attacks on us in these papers will fall apart on their own."
Xia Ning's gaze was serious.
"Have the four affordable luxury projects been implemented?"
"It's been finalized, but they're all hotel, office building, or shopping mall projects. I'm worried that these types of buildings aren't very representative."
"It doesn't matter, this architectural style is built with money."
"As long as the building can be erected, then the subsequent publicity work will be sufficient."
"The initial investment can be larger; once we establish brand recognition, it will be easy to recoup the investment later."
"it is good."
Chen Jin nodded.
Xia Ning hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"However, I don't think we can completely do nothing. Their minimalist project at Nanjing University is about to be launched, right?"
"Yes." Chen Jin nodded.
"Go and contact the person in charge over there. He's a graduate of our Tsinghua University's architecture department, like this..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jin's eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately spoke up, eagerly replying, "Yes, I'll contact them right away and arrange this!"
"Um."
Xia Ning nodded, and after Chen Jin left, she carefully read through the paper in her hand.
"Not bad, Jinling University does have some talented people. Perhaps this is the paper written by that student Xue Lin?"
"They were able to grasp the essence of the affordable luxury concept at a glance, as well as its relationship with minimalism."
This impressed Xia Ning greatly, as someone with such an academic vision is bound to be exceptional.
But this is only one aspect of architecture.
It won't cause any major disturbance.
"Things will be different once the project is actually implemented."
Xia Ning spoke up, "These theoretical attacks will not pose any problem for real buildings."
Theory is just a foundation, after all, architecture is an academic subject, but real architecture is a large-scale project that is outward-facing and for everyone.
Moreover, the term "light luxury" is enough for them to take the high-end route, which means large buildings such as office buildings, hotels, and shopping malls.
Tsinghua University has a solid foundation and a rich historical heritage, which allows them to take this route. After all, the four luxury projects together are worth nearly several billion yuan.
How can their minimalism compare?
How can a project bid of 8000 million compare to a shopping mall that costs billions?
Moreover, shopping malls, with their massive foot traffic, can be transformed into landmarks or representative projects.
Moreover, affordable luxury is more in line with the general public.
As for minimalism, he believes that it might not produce anything truly good, at least that's his understanding.
After all, if you really don't add any decorations, then the simplest thing is actually the most difficult.
You need to consider aesthetics more, otherwise you might easily crash.
Putting everything else aside, just considering his own experience, he had also seen Xue Lin's minimalist project drawings, since these were all publicly available.
But he felt that only Xue Lin in the whole country could design that kind of minimalist style; anyone else would make something that was neither fish nor fowl.
He has put this into practice; it's not just empty talk.
Even at the Architectural Design Research Center of Tsinghua University, many people are specializing in this minimalism, but they have difficulty figuring out anything reliable, and what they produce are just incongruous pieces of waste paper.
"What a pity, someone like that has already been reserved by Jinling University, otherwise he could be of use to me."
Xia Ning gently shook her head.
He hadn't paid attention to Xue Lin's grades, but subconsciously categorized Xue Lin as someone like Chen Hui.
After all, in his eyes, the two of them had long been in cahoots.
……
Xue Lin was naturally unaware of Tsinghua University's plans, and he didn't even pay much attention to the actions of Jinling University.
After all, he's just a high school student, and it's too early for him to get involved in these matters.
He only made some minor revisions to the paper; he didn't care much about anything else.
"Extract some terms."
Xue Lin immediately started looking at the three keywords for today.
An anonymous netizen thinks you have excellent singing skills. You will receive the "Excellent Singing Skills (Green)" rating, which increases your singing ability by 30%.
Professor Xia Ning believes you have a very high level of academic achievement. You can obtain the term "Academic Achievement (Purple)" and your academic level will increase by 300%.
When Xue Lin saw this entry, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He knew Professor Xia Ning.
Who would have thought they would secretly praise him behind his back?
However, Xue Lin didn't think much of it. Although he must have praised him behind his back, there might have been a "but" or "however" behind it.
This shift involves first praising and then criticizing.
This is quite normal.
Singer Shen Qingcheng believes your songwriting skills are very high, and you can obtain the entry "Musical Prodigy (Blue)". You are a musical prodigy with a special talent for music. Blue represents the county level.
Xue Lin hesitated for a moment before choosing the first option.
After all, singing ability is the most important thing for him now, and he only needs this one more word to synthesize a purple word.
