pertwk Chapter 88 really did slap them in the face?
Chapter 88 really did slap them in the face?
the next day.
Xue Lin received a paper titled "Tracing the Origins of Modern Light Luxury Style and Its Reference to Minimalism".
When Xue Lin saw the paper, he was slightly stunned.
Good grief, this is a blatant slap in the face to Tsinghua University!
However, Tsinghua University's actions have indeed angered both heaven and man.
Even Sun Chengen sent over a paper from another university journal.
"I thought we were fast enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone even faster!"
"I have to admire them."
That's something to admire.
Xue Lin looked at the paper. Obviously, it must have been written when Tsinghua University first proposed the concept of affordable luxury.
Even in the most corrupt academic world, most scholars still possess integrity.
At least, even those on the fringes of academia are still quietly abiding by some of the norms of academia.
When rules and regulations can no longer control those big shots, it's time for someone to jump out and overturn the table.
These papers are like that.
The bigwigs are indeed powerful, and academic cliques are certainly prevalent, but if you do something wrong, then you have to be criticized.
As for the paper in hand...
Xue Lin read it carefully for a long time and annotated it with about two thousand words.
So it was sent back.
When Sun Chengen saw these annotations, he was completely stunned.
"Damn, Xue Lin, you haven't even enrolled yet, have you?"
"I even suspect you're an academician reincarnated."
"These annotations even remind me of the comments my supervisor made when he was writing my thesis."
Xue Lin simply smiled and said nothing more.
The matter of the thesis has now come to an end.
As for the rest, we'll probably have to wait until this paper is published and it's been circulating for a while before we can discuss it further.
There wasn't much attention paid to it.
Today is the day I should submit the drawings.
He sent the blueprints he had directly to Boss Qin.
......
in the hospital.
Qin Xuemei was helping an elderly woman walk slowly.
"Mother-in-law, you're getting old, so please don't overwork yourself."
"Um."
The mother-in-law simply smiled gently, "Don't worry about it."
His Mandarin is very standard.
"It will eventually be handed over to you."
Qin Xuemei handed over several design screenshots that Xue Lin had sent her.
"Mother-in-law, are you satisfied with this decorating style?"
Grandma Yu took the phone; her hands were trembling slightly from her age.
However, when I saw these decorating styles, my eyes still lit up slightly.
"This style is nice."
After a moment of silence, Grandma Yuko finally spoke, "It must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive at all. As long as you're comfortable, that's all that matters. This is just a small token of our appreciation."
Grandma Yuko simply nodded slightly.
Then, he just smiled and rummaged through his worn-out pocket for a while before taking out something wrapped in newspaper.
"I don't have much to give you, so please accept this as a small token of my appreciation."
Grandma Yu took out a bracelet.
The bracelet is made of jade, and its texture is dense.
It looks like a top-quality product.
"Mother-in-law, I can't accept this." Qin Xuemei was taken aback, and then repeatedly refused.
This thing is very valuable.
At least, it's worth over ten thousand now.
Even during the most difficult times, my mother-in-law didn't sell it, which shows how important it was to her.
Now, how could she possibly accept it so easily?
"Keep it. It was given to me by him back then. I've never been able to bear wearing it. It used to be my only keepsake."
"But now, I've figured it out."
"Instead of dwelling on memories of him through objects, it's better to be more open-minded. I'm going to retire peacefully, and he'll be at peace too."
Grandma Yu also spoke with a smile.
Her eyes curved like crescent moons.
In the end, Qin Xuemei accepted it.
She would also keep it carefully for her mother-in-law.
I will cherish this memory.
If we don't accept it, my mother-in-law might not feel at ease staying here.
In fact, Grandma Yu was a person who loved life very much. Even when she was in the hospital, she was spotless and clean.
"Are you satisfied with this style?"
She asked again, letting her mother-in-law look at it carefully.
The mother-in-law nodded gently. "This style reminds me of when I was young."
"It's just as clean and tidy at home."
"And there are cherry blossoms in full bloom, and flowing water babbling."
"Thinking back now, I still feel a bit nostalgic."
"But things are fine now too."
"I feel very safe with you all by my side."
The mother-in-law looked at the decorating style.
The space is open and includes some simple ceramic ornaments.
The wooden hall, the floor—everything was harmonious.
There are no eye-catching decorations, only a kind of imperfect beauty that has been accumulated over the years.
The walls are left blank, and the pillars have a weathered texture.
Everything is just right.
In reality, most of the time, isn't life just about living a life of "self-consistency"?
Therefore, the mother-in-law liked it very much.
……
Soon, Xue Lin received a reply from Qin Xuemei.
"Thank you, my mother-in-law likes it very much."
"Let's proceed with the signing process."
"it is good."
Xue Lin also looked at the blueprints in front of him. The style was wabi-sabi, and the decoration was also a kind of minimalism, but it carried a feeling of living towards death.
There is also a kind of beauty in imperfection, as if isolated from the world, and a greater pursuit of individual value.
To allow imperfect lives to fully blossom.
This is the meaning of wabi-sabi.
Xue Lin quickly contacted his mother to get the contract.
This is a large project.
"If we take on a few more projects, will we be able to raise enough funds to move the company to Nanjing?"
It's not like we're moving the company there; it's just a branch office.
But judging from my mother's tone, it seems like we're going to move the whole family?
uncertain.
However, Xue Lin felt that developing his career in Jinling in the future would not be bad either.
My mother doesn't have much attachment to Jiang Province. Although Jiang Province is where my mother built her base, it's clear that Xue Lin holds a more important place in her heart.
We'll see when the time comes.
Even if his mother doesn't set up a branch office, he plans to set up his own studio to take on projects.
By then, I'll be a full adult and can take on projects under the company's name.
This is still the case now, but it's unstable.
They're all registered under my mom's company or the Design Institute of Jinling University.
It's safer to have your own studio.
However, he didn't think much of it.
Continue with the routine of learning and attending classes.
And we're waiting for the show to air.
"Tomorrow's Star" is a second-rate variety show.
Xue Lin was also curious to see how well this song from his previous life would fare here.
Or, is this person worthy of the copyright to this song?
It was just a trial run.
