My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 103 A Mysterious Visitor? The Queen?

Xue Lin looked at the other responsible persons, after all, this project was jointly managed by these important figures, and everyone's ideas were crucial.

So he will change what he can, and for what he can't change, he will discuss it.

After exchanging glances for a while, the many officials nodded slightly before the last important figure spoke.

"We've entrusted this project to this designer. We're extremely satisfied with your design. I believe this project will be given a fresh new vitality in your hands. As for your minimalist design, it will resonate deeply with people once the church is completed."

The important figure spoke with a sincere expression, so Xue Lin thanked him directly.

He then closed the computer and copied out the drawing he had already completed.

"Go back and continue to refine this diagram. The internal structure and some structural properties still need to be worked out gradually."

Xue Lin handed the document to Sun Chengen, who was standing to the side. Sun Chengen and Lin Wan exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

The drawing is basically finished.

Apart from a few details that need careful carving, the other outlines, facades, and many other drawings have almost all been completed.

Moreover, his powerful memory and imagination allowed him to create extremely detailed node diagrams.

You should know that when they draw these detail diagrams, they must be thinking about marking the thickness of these walls and then applying layers of insulation or other exterior wall paint.

Then some detailed details need to be considered comprehensively.

For example, this wall is thinner, and that wall is thicker.

Then there are the nodes above, the walls all need to be precisely calculated, and there is also a kind of geometric ability.

At least this top-down view can be done reasonably well.

To be able to create all the nodes of the entire shape so quickly is simply astonishing.

It's as if no idea is needed at all.

But such meticulous details certainly require deep thought. What they rack their brains over, others would handle with ease, as if it were no big deal at all.

This is a devastating blow to them.

However, they were not discouraged, after all, they had already reached the top in the field of architecture.

As for not being able to keep up with Xue Lin, so be it. After all, that person is no ordinary person, and cannot even be judged by the standards of a normal person.

Ordinary geniuses are probably just like them.

But compared to Xue Lin, they were simply insignificant.

Dean Li was quite pleased. At least this time, not only did he get to see the site, but the meeting theme was also finalized, and even the preliminary design was given. This was an unexpected bonus.

After all, who could have imagined that Xue Lin would draw all these blueprints in just over two hours?

Moreover, the process of drawing and reporting simultaneously was not boring at all. Even the important figures listened with great interest, as if it were magic, and the decisions were made immediately, which would be perfect.

He had never even dared to think that way before.

Xue Lin stretched. He still had one more meal to eat today, but he didn't like Western food, so they found a Chinese restaurant instead.

Everyone held his extraordinary skills in high esteem.

Even Dean Li joined in the commotion, feeling that Xue Lin was a game-changer for this kind of project.

Xue Lin just smiled and ate his food slowly.

After that, we went back to the hotel, and we'll be preparing to go back tomorrow.

After all, he can't stay abroad for too long, and he still needs to go back to study, since the third mock exam is coming up soon.

The whole school is watching his scores. If he drops a few points this time, his image as a top student might be ruined.

Therefore, we still need to keep learning and improving.

The next day, the plane flew back to Nanjing.

"How about this time?"

Chen Hui came to pick him up at the airport and greeted him with a smile.

"I heard you were a star performer at the meeting?"

Chen Hui had clearly heard about Xue Lin's achievements and showed some admiration on his face, after all, Xue Lin's achievements were unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

It's absolutely unbelievable that someone could draw up an architectural blueprint that captivated so many important figures in just over two hours.

Even after so long in the industry, he had never heard of any architect daring to do this, especially considering the on-site drawing...

How can you keep those people calm?

Drawing is a tedious task. Although everyone knows you have some ideas, they only offer opinions.

To raise questions.

They're just waiting for you to finish the product so they can find fault with it.

How can I possibly watch you draw for over two hours straight here?

"No, maybe it's just that the design style resonated with them. And minimalism really does suit this kind of church architecture."

Xue Lin just smiled, and Chen Hui nodded.

If minimalism is supposed to fit this kind of church architecture, then why didn't Xue Lin follow minimalism completely?

Clearly, there were still some concerns in his mind; otherwise, he might have created a truly minimalist church, and the exterior design wouldn't have featured as many common foreign church styles, such as Gothic or Baroque.

So you still can't let go.

He felt that he still needed to apply for a building that could truly be considered the culmination of minimalism in order to showcase the architectural aesthetics brought about by this minimalism.

Xue Lin, however, didn't seem to care.

After dinner, he took the high-speed train directly back to Jiangcheng.

Compared to Jinling, Jiangcheng was his true home.

However, Nanjing is still more prosperous than Jiangcheng. Putting aside everything else, the fact that Nanjing University is located in Nanjing is enough to prove its status.

"Is Lin Baobao home?"

"Someone came looking for you just now and left their phone number."

Mom handed Xue Lin a phone number directly.

Xue Lin sat on the sofa, next to his mother.

"Who is it? What do they want with me? Did they say anything?"

"They were being very secretive, and they didn't tell me anything, they just told me to call. I didn't ask any more questions, it was just a phone number they gave me anyway."

Su Nuo didn't care. She left all these things to Xue Lin, since Xue Lin naturally had his own opinions.

"You should ask more questions, so you don't get scammed."

-

But she also gave a reminder.

Without thinking twice, Xue Lin made the call.

Su Nuo also looked over curiously.

She did want to leave these things to Xue Lin to handle himself, but that didn't mean she didn't care at all.

"Hello, this is Xue Lin."

"Xue Lin, right? I'm Lin Feier."

Lin Feier?

Xue Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, also showing a hint of surprise.

The fact that the other party stated their name so bluntly clearly indicates that they believe their name has a certain degree of recognition, and that Xue Lin should also know them.

"Queen of Pop?"

Xue Lin asked tentatively.

"Smart." Lin Feier sat on the sofa with her legs crossed in the other side of the living room, her eyes also filled with anticipation.

"I've come to see you today to ask you to write a song for me. I was wondering if you'd be interested?"

"What type of songs would you like to request?"

Xue Lin was slightly surprised. "And why was I chosen?"

"It's about a sense of national and familial sentiment."

Lin Feier spoke slowly, her voice tinged with amusement, "Because I think young people's resonance with this kind of national sentiment is more likely to stir the emotions of most people. And among some of the emerging young creators, I think you should give it a try."

"Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. I will still give you 100,000 in creation fees. You don't have to worry about your work being rejected."

""

"But I haven't created any works with a sense of national or familial sentiment in my previous works." Xue Lin just smiled.

"I admire you. I've listened to two of your songs, and I think your descriptions of emotions are very delicate, and the melodies and tunes are also very good. To be able to write such songs in high school, I feel that if you were given a chance, you would definitely be able to soar to great heights."

"This song is your opportunity; whether you can seize it depends on yourself."

Lin Feier spoke very seriously, and Xue Lin nodded slightly in agreement.

As for who gave whom this opportunity, Xue Lin could only do his best.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Can we meet in person? I have time today and will have someone invite you, but you're not home. I'll be busy for a while afterward. I have a performance in Jiangcheng in two days, and I'll give you two tickets. You can come over then and talk to my staff so we can meet in person."

"That works too," Xue Lin readily agreed.

"Okay, I'll have someone send you the tickets."

The call ended quickly, and the mother, who was standing beside him, was also quite excited, holding Xue Lin's arm.

"Queen Lin Feier is the youngest queen in the country, only around forty years old, about the same age as me."

"I've liked her songs since college; she's been famous for so long."

"I'm giving you two concert tickets for free. You can't buy those even if you have money."

"Lin Baobao is amazing!"

Mom hugged Xue Lin and took a bite.

Xue Lin smiled helplessly, "Alright, Mom, go pick up the tickets later, then I'll go back to study."

.

"Okay, go quickly, go quickly."

"Writing songs for a diva? That's absolutely incredible!"

The mother was still immersed in Xue Lin's phone call, but Xue Lin didn't seem to feel much.

He searched his mind for songs about patriotism and family, and then, considering which ones suited Lin Feier's voice, he quickly settled on one.

After that, I didn't pay much attention to it.

As for a face-to-face meeting, I'll just send her the song file.

"We haven't discussed the money for the song yet, but even if we do, it will only be a collaboration; we can't just transfer the song to someone else directly." Xue Lin was extremely principled.

Even a superstar like him wouldn't want to give away a song to someone else for a buyout.

However, we will definitely still need to rely on the Queen's connections in the future.

We'll see when the time comes.

It would be best to retain the copyright. If you can't retain the copyright, then ask for a high price, and then you'll have enough money to open an architectural design studio.

As for a music studio, it seems like that needs to be prepared as well. After all, music is a very important part of his life.

"Mom, if I opened a music studio, how about you be in charge?"

"After all, you can completely relinquish your responsibilities as the manager of the company."

Xue Lin leaned against the door frame and smiled at his mother.

After all, he had heard that his mother had some musical dreams, and this music studio would be a perfect way for her to realize those dreams.

Of course, I still have to follow my mom's wishes.

After all, if allowed, Mom could leave Jiangcheng directly. She has already built up her empire here and can completely be a hands-off manager.

As for opening an architectural design studio in Jinling, with Sun Chengen there, my mother doesn't have to worry so much.

This music studio could definitely take on some music-related work, though probably not much, at least not that many composers at the moment.

If Mom likes it, then we can buy a professional set of equipment, and then we won't need someone else's recording studio.

"That's a good option, but what about that architecture design studio? What's your decision?"

My mother, on the other hand, became quite interested, since both architecture and music seemed highly feasible.

After all, Xue Lin has achieved considerable success in both of these areas.

She had previously seen that the song "If Back Then" had already become a viral sensation online.

Music may be a path Xue Lin will take in the future. As for what achievements he can make, that depends on how much inspiration he has.

"As for that studio, I already have some money on hand, so I'll see how it goes later. There's still a little over a month until graduation, almost two months. Besides the tasks I've already completed, I don't plan to take on any other projects. But after the exams, I can start earning some money to open the studio, at least before I start university."

Xue Lin spoke first, but Su Nuo asked him curiously.

How much do you have on hand right now?

"It's probably a few hundred thousand, but there are still two projects whose progress payments haven't come through yet. They should all be available after the college entrance exams. It should be at least a few million."

My mother looked somewhat speechless.

Why does it feel like Xue Lin's earning ability has completely surpassed hers?

She might not even be able to earn a million in a year?

"Alright, you can decide what to do then," Mom said with a smile. "Wherever you need me, I'll go and help out."

""

"We'll work together to build a great future for ourselves in Nanjing!"

My mom does have some grand plans, but she's also the kind of person who does what she thinks of; otherwise, she wouldn't have said she wanted to open a company in Nanjing.

Xue Lin nodded. He had the skills, so he could make it happen, and it could even be done with no investment and huge profits.
