My art is too advanced.

Chapter 357 A Classic Text That Will Continue for Generations! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
Everyone has their own ambitions, and things cannot be forced. Anyway, it was quite sad for him to encounter this kind of thing, after all, his three roommates had done a lot with him and were considered the backbone of the team.

But he also knew that many people would eventually part ways. For example, they were going their separate ways for the sake of piety, which was actually a very normal thing, and no one could stop it.

Although his plan for everyone was to stay in academia, and even if they stayed in academia, they would earn a lot of money. Even without deliberately seeking funding, as a science and engineering scholar, they would still have a relatively promising future.

Most importantly, his own network of connections provides these people with tremendous support on their academic journeys.

However, many people may not be willing to take this path because it is indeed quite difficult. If you want to just coast along, you can coast along anywhere. Although colleges and universities are good, they are not necessarily the best way out.

Zhou Yue was quite clear about this point. After all, if he had a choice, he probably wouldn't think that college was a good place either, since it was really too difficult to get ahead there.

Even the most gifted have to accumulate experience and seniority.

For example, it took him a year to get into the School of Architecture. Although a year may not seem long, the results he achieved in that year were definitely top-notch.

Others don't have this ability, so if others want it, the process might be much more difficult and challenging than for him.

Another issue is the system itself. If you just want to be a researcher and don't want to become a professor or anything like that, then it's actually not bad. Research positions are just like that; you don't earn much money, but you don't have to worry about as much.

If you want to advance your career as a professor, you need to consider many more things.

"I also want to go out and work," Lin Ning said with a hint of envy.

After all, even working a 996 job would be much easier than studying for a PhD here.

It's no exaggeration to say that he felt completely drained while pursuing his doctorate here, with not a single drop of personal time left.

“I have other plans for your work.” Zhou Yue looked up at him.

"You can arrange for me to work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I would like to be an office director at the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering, where I can just approve documents every day."

"You think that position is so easy to get? You might get yourself into trouble at any time," Zhou Yue scoffed.

The work at the Academy of Sciences was relatively easy for him, because he had already been informed by both the higher-ups and the lower-ups. All he had to do was check the approval documents, which they had already prepared. All he had to do was stamp them.

Therefore, he doesn't need to review many things too much. If the documents are complete, he won't hold you back; there's no need for him to hold you back at all.

After all, those in power already knew everything.

If everyone does it, then he has no need to target others.

Otherwise, they might not be able to survive in this system.

If you go with the flow, someone will protect you.

If you don't follow the crowd, everyone will be hoping you leave.

Take those honest officials back then, for example. Everyone spent money to buy their positions for them, and they would directly promote you. Would you leave?

Of course, that was a matter from the previous dynasty.

The task of compiling the version archives is what he has been doing all along.

He also held frequent meetings with others to discuss matters, and basically spent a lot of time in meetings.

Meetings are quite important, after all, it's necessary to reach a consensus.

From the very beginning, he made his ideas clear to this kind of person: he wanted to imitate the Dunhuang Library Cave and incorporate some of its style.

Many people may not know what the Dunhuang Mogao Caves mean to the cultural heritage of China. More than a thousand years ago, merchants from the Western Regions created these Mogao Caves, which are a testament to the commercial exchanges along the Silk Road.

Businessmen are the ones who value these cultural aspects the most.

Even now, people with knowledge are generally respected.

More than a thousand years of wind and rain have not destroyed the scriptures inside these library caves.

Even today, scholars of Dunhuang studies continue to research these things, which can be seen as a manifestation of the cultural heritage of China.

Of course, by now very little of what was inside remains; it has been divided up by people in many places, and a considerable portion has even been circulated abroad.

Some were tricked into going abroad, while others were bought at high prices.

But they're all the same, except these things are no longer in China.

It sounds like a sad thing, but it's already a natural progression. A lot of things have already flowed out, let alone these books.

There are many valuable things inside.

But that's not what he meant.

Rather, these scripture caves have stored these scriptures for over a thousand years.

This meaning can be used as is.

He also hopes that these books and scriptures can continue to be passed down and endure.

For thousands of years.

This is also the significance of the National Edition Museum, and there are four edition museums in total.

They were all used to store important classical texts.

Therefore, the significance of the Library Cave is quite interesting.

Most of the high-ranking officials listened to his opinions, and there were no particularly dissenting voices.

They all respect knowledge and the opinions of professionals. As for the experts they invited, they basically had to give Zhou Yue face.

And to be honest, working with him is quite stressful.

After all, they had heard of this person's reputation, even if they didn't work together.

Now.

Zhou Yue has a very strong personal style, and he is basically a person of great influence in the field of architecture.

No one dared to oppose the opinions he put forward.

Even in the architecture department of Ningda University, it was all his domain, so his words naturally carried a sharp edge, almost brooking no rebuttal.

This is quite normal. When someone has been in control of a field for too long, they naturally develop an extraordinary level of confidence and are very certain that what they say is correct and that there is absolutely no problem with what they say.

So say it.

No one can refute it.

Even when offering opinions, they are very cautious.

He himself didn't even realize it, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't say anything.

After all, he has that kind of ability; at least for the next five to ten years, no one in the field of architecture will be able to surpass his academic knowledge. That's his strength.

Without giving it much thought, he returned to his office and continued organizing those things before handing them over to the company.

There were no problems on the company's side either. Basically, the moment he sent over the framework, they mobilized all the professional designers in the ancient architecture department to continue to help him improve it.

The company has been completely transformed and has even opened a branch.

After three years of development, the company is now quite good, and can even be considered one of the top design companies and enterprises in China.

This is partly due to his reputation.

After all, he has done a lot of top-notch designs for the company, including some designs that are difficult for ordinary people to complete.

But the most important reason is Lu Qianran, and the large amount of capital injected into her.

As for where the funds came from, Zhou Yue didn't care, it had nothing to do with him. Basically, the funds came from some cooperating companies and enterprises.

However, it cannot be ruled out that it is Lu Qianran's family.

That's actually quite normal. After all, there are very few companies that can achieve this level of development. It's difficult for others to compete with them in certain projects or other aspects, which creates a virtuous cycle.

Therefore, it's easy for their company to make money. Plus, with a top university professor like him around, they can basically take on any kind of work, which gives them a sense of confidence.

They have a lot of confidence, enough to undertake some large-scale multinational projects.

Even now, they haven't received any great landmark buildings, but it's actually not bad. Zhou Yue himself is quite satisfied. Whether it's wanting to achieve something or wanting to make money, the company has been able to achieve a high degree of success.

Even the revenue share he receives is something many designers can hardly imagine.

The commission we give him is no cut!
In the designer's eyes, this is definitely the highest level of etiquette.

As for the lack of major projects, he wasn't in a hurry. His resume was with the company, and as long as the company could secure some projects, they would definitely give him the work.

Now it all depends on when the company will be able to secure a major project.

He doesn't want the kind of provincial-level projects, like building a museum today and an art gallery tomorrow.

It is a true landmark, a large-scale building of world-class quality.

So, this kind of thing is quite rare and can only be encountered by chance. As for what level he can achieve now, well, whatever level he can achieve, he's not in a hurry.

The ancient architecture department is relatively new to them.

The company was established not long ago and specializes in ancient building design. However, they still need to develop in all aspects. After all, with him around, he can take on any design project. For example, if you want a hotel in the mountains, I can design it for you. I can design something completely unusual for this site.

He's unconventional, and doesn't even need to do on-site surveys. He has the confidence to do that. No matter what kind of design you want, he can make it for you.

This places high demands on those who assist him; even those who assist him are likely to be elites from various industries.

Otherwise, they might not even understand his design ideas and thought process, which is actually quite normal, since at their level, their designs are basically high-end and sophisticated.

Zhou Yue didn't think much about it; he was just waiting for the results.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm very busy."

"They will send over the drawings in a while. You can review them one last time. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. If there's anything that needs improvement, you can just make the changes on the drawings."

"Okay." Lin Ning said somewhat helplessly.

It seems like he might as well just go out and get a job; it would probably be much easier for him than he is now.

However, being so busy now has its advantages.

After all, this big project could make a lot of money, and he could get at least a million from it, right?
uncertain.

But all in all, making money with Zhou Yue is relatively easy, though it might be quite tiring.

And it's not just mental exhaustion, it's physical exhaustion.

Mental fatigue might be caused by a lot of things piling up, but even if there are a lot of things piling up, Zhou Yue will explain all the different ideas to you, so there's no need to feel mentally exhausted. It's the kind of fatigue that comes from understanding everything but having a lot of things to know.

It's a bittersweet experience, so there's nothing wrong with being his doctoral student.

With the two-month deadline fast approaching, Lin Ning delivered the blueprints to him.

He examined it carefully and found no major problems, only some minor details, which he easily corrected himself. Lin Ning was already fully qualified to graduate and had virtually no issues with design.

"Okay, only if the design reaches this level can I feel at ease letting you go to the design institute. Otherwise, we'll both lose face."

“Sending you there is to make you their pillar, not to make you their laborer. Your going is the same as me going there. You just need to have a meeting with them to share your ideas, then create the basic framework, let them refine it, and finally make your own modifications.”

"what do you think?"

"I think it's alright. I'd be better off doing design work every day than I am now."

"Don't complain. Look, sending you there to do design work is like giving you a vacation, isn't it?" Zhou Yue said with a smile.

"really."

"There aren't many doctoral supervisors as conscientious as me anymore, so cherish them."

Lin Ning rolled her eyes.

the next day.

Zhou Yue submitted the design drawings, and even many experts were somewhat shocked after reviewing them.

Although they knew that Teacher Zhou worked quickly, they were amazed that he could finish such complex blueprints, especially those for ancient buildings, so quickly, and even create renderings.

The finished product is indeed stunning.

Zhou Yue was concerned about something else.

He still uses foreign software for design, and what he cares about is when his own design software will be fully developed.

"It's a long and arduous task, it might not be finished until the end of this year, right?"

He thought about it for a while.

I decided to go and see for myself.

Looking at the results now, it's almost there. In fact, many of the software's plugins are already being used by other people.

However, it may take some time to complete the entire software.
