I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Uncle Liu and Su Meng looked at each other and had no choice but to follow closely.

Ma Ruosong was drawing on the notebook as he walked, and when he left the venue, his trouser legs were covered with yellow mud.

Afterwards, Ma Ruosong led Liu Dajiu to walk around Chang'an Avenue, including Wangfujing Pedestrian Street.

He stopped from time to time, looking up at the location of Qiu Ding Commercial Building, attracting strange looks from passers-by.

"Okay!" After walking around the construction site, Ma Ruosong finally stopped.

At this moment, his little notebook was filled with writing.

"Mr. Ma, I run a small restaurant and you've been busy all day. How about coming over for a meal?" Uncle Liu took the opportunity to make an invitation, hoping to get closer to them by having a meal together.

Ma Ruosong refused directly: "No, I don't want to waste time. Every minute and every second before the bid is extremely precious.

You just need to take me to my place and deliver the food on time."

Seeing this, Su Meng interrupted and said, "The accommodation has been arranged for you, you can go there now." Hearing this, Ma Ruosong's expression returned to normal.

Uncle Liu indicated the direction, obviously understanding the temper of this capable man.

Afterwards, Uncle Liu sent Ma Ruosong to a pre-prepared residence.

Su Meng and Uncle Liu came to Jinchangsheng Hotel again and arranged for the lobby manager to deliver three meals a day to Ma Ruosong's residence on time.

After everything was arranged, the two felt relieved.

"Uncle, I think there is a very high chance that we will win the bid this time." Su Meng's worries disappeared, and she could see that the architect was fully committed to his work.

"That's right. I can't just find someone who just wants to get by." Uncle Liu couldn't help but praise him.

This time they did find a treasure.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Uncle Liu was filled with emotion.

After running around with Ma Ruosong, he was exhausted.

"But uncle, I still feel a little uneasy. Xu Damao is not very reliable. It would be better if we could find another partner." Su Meng did not indulge in joy, but pointed out the hidden dangers of the team.

"I will look for the right person, but I don't want to cooperate with businessmen in Hong Kong because I'm afraid they will interfere too much." Uncle Liu expressed his concerns.

He had contacted partners in Hong Kong before, but Hong Kong businessmen are often very shrewd and it is easy for them to be stabbed in the back during cooperation.

"Then uncle, why don't you just look for it in the city of Sijiu?" Su Meng suggested with a frown.

They were cheated by Li Huaide last time and they knew the risks of cooperation among fellow villagers.

"That's the only way we can do this. By the way, Mengmeng, that architect has some personality traits, so don't take it to heart." Uncle Liu did not forget to remind Su Meng.

The architect was cold to them just now, but he understood that talented people often have unique personalities, and he was worried that Su Meng would be sulking because of this.

"Uncle, don't worry, he is our key figure, how could I be angry?" Su Meng nodded to show her understanding.

She could see the extraordinary qualities of this architect, and in the days that followed, she was determined to maintain a good relationship with him no matter what.

Meanwhile, on Chang'an Avenue...

Master Li and a group of his disciples arrived at the preliminary site of the Qiu Ding Commercial Building.

"Although we have conducted a preliminary survey here, accuracy is of the utmost importance in construction, so we need to use another instrument to re-measure." Mr. Li stood in the mud and gave these instructions to his students.

He wore Liberation shoes and simple clothes, and looked no different from the migrant workers on the construction site.

Mr. Li did not place all his hopes on this group of students. He let them participate in order to exercise their practical abilities.

Although these students are very talented, they are still in the learning stage.

Behind the students, a team of experienced and professional workers was assembled.

After the order was given, the students quickly dispersed and took their positions with their instruments in hand.

The workers were still waiting there, awaiting further instructions from Mr. Li.

For Mr. Li, the topography of this area is already clear in his mind and he can describe it accurately even with his eyes closed.

He directed the workers in an orderly manner to go to various key points for measurement to ensure the accuracy of the procedures.

After completing the arrangement, he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, a female student supported him in time.

"Grandpa, why do you have to work so hard?" There was a hint of blame in her words.

She is Mr. Li’s granddaughter, Li Haitang. As a woman, she was able to stand out in the male-dominated architecture department because of the profound influence of her grandfather.

She has been taking care of her grandfather recently and knows that he sleeps less than four hours a day.

"It's for something worthwhile," said Mr. Li, with a firm look in his eyes. "If our skyscrapers fail to stand, the right to speak on architectural design will fall into the hands of foreign architects, and domestic counterparts will have no choice but to cater to them."

“Once our buildings become famous, they will naturally not dare to underestimate them and will respect and consider our design concepts,” he continued.

The construction industry is both a reflection of hard power and a symbol of soft power.

Buildings rely on technology during their construction, but standing firm on the land represents an aesthetic pursuit.

Mr. Li does not want the country to fall behind in this competition. Although the material base determines the superstructure, in addition to pursuing food and clothing, he also wants to pass on some spiritual core.

Qiu Ding Commercial Building will become an important place for receiving foreign guests. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to demonstrate architectural strength, and he has been waiting silently for this.

"But the building isn't even finished yet, and you've already exhausted yourself. Isn't that a case of losing the big picture for the small?" Li Haitang understood his grandfather's character, so he had to comfort him from a different angle.

"Don't worry, I will definitely wait until the building is completed, and I also look forward to witnessing the birth of an architecture school that truly belongs to our profession. Otherwise, I will not leave this world easily." There was a gleam of anticipation in Mr. Li's eyes at this moment.

This was the promise Ye Ming made when he communicated with him, to establish a school specifically for the architecture profession.

After all, not all students who enter Yenching Academy come here for the architecture major, and many of them only come here to gain an academic background.

After graduation, these elites will most likely choose to develop abroad or enter government departments.

Ye Ming and Mr. Li share the same goal, which is to hope that the construction industry can cultivate more professional talents and promote innovation and progress in the entire industry.

This land, which carries 5,000 years of architectural history, is also constantly absorbing new architectural concepts and technologies.

Old wisdom needs someone to pass on, and new knowledge needs someone to learn and innovate.

Therefore, this school cannot rely solely on the existing education system.

"Grandpa, can't you be more tactful when speaking?" Li Haitang rolled his eyes at his grandfather in reproach. He did not understand the deeper meaning of Mr. Li's words, but was instead obsessed with the word "death".

"Help me over there, I want to see the footprints!" Mr. Li did not explain. Some things do not need to be said. Only when the efforts are rewarded and the results are apparent, will they bring shocking effects.
