1427: Championship Battle (4 More)

Xia Xiaolan knew about the future, but she couldn't tell Wen Manni.

"Connie, China is reforming and opening up. This is a huge reform that will completely change the poverty and backwardness of China. I hope you can visit China in person when you have the opportunity in the future. We are already friends, aren't we? I sincerely invite you to visit China!"

Wen Manni, a Chinese-American, as a descendant of the previous generation of Chinese immigrants, has really never been to China.

Professor Wen often told her that the Wen family's roots were in China, and Wen Manni also had a Chinese name and could speak Chinese, but she was educated in the United States since she was a child, and her recognition of China was not high.

Professor Wen also feels that his Chinese are only working and living in the United States.

Wen Manni has completely identified herself as an American, and has a high degree of recognition of her American citizenship.

Xia Xiaolan also can't talk about patriotism with others. She was an American citizen from birth, and patriotism naturally also loves the United States. There is nothing wrong with this. However, Xia Xiaolan invited her as a friend, and Wen Manni did not refuse:

"If I have a chance, I will definitely go. You also know that my work is very busy. Klaus and I have not gone on vacation for several years. The work in the United States has freedom, but it is also easy to be unemployed. You also saw that Hector just now. He works as a security chief in a hotel, can join the club with Klaus, if he can't find a new job soon, he will lose his club membership, bank loans will crush him, losing club membership is only the first step, he And lose my house and car...everything!"

Good jobs are not easy to find.

Surgeons like Krause don't have to worry about losing their jobs because they have excellent skills.

Wen Manni is also not worried about losing her job. Without her current law firm, she can find something else.

But this does not mean that they can not work arbitrarily. Everyone is used to spending in advance. Once there is no income, people like Wen Manni and Klaus will have a great headache.

At the club, Zhou Cheng was taken by Klaus to shoot, Wen Manni and Xia Xiaolan went to the other side of the racecourse, Wen Manni asked a coach to teach Xia Xiaolan at least two or three hours of tossing, and Xia Xiaolan was led by the coach. The level of the docile mare on which she rides slowly in circles around the racecourse.

The coach also said she had talent.

But they did not forcefully sell membership to Xia Xiaolan.

People who like it will take the initiative to find a way to join the club, pay membership dues, review qualifications, and recommend from old members. This club is not top-notch, and this set of procedures is still very strict.

Selling when you see someone is a very unprofessional business method, which is not suitable for the positioning of this club.

When Xia Xiaolan was interested in learning how to ride a horse, at the Wilson Hotel, the five judges of the cw architectural design competition had not yet reached a consensus.

The awards are coming tomorrow, and they still have a dispute over who gets the top three.

You can really do whatever you want with money.

Students of Cornell School of Architecture, after graduation, are proud to work in first-class architectural firms. Harrods directly invited a partner from the prestigious British Foster Architects to be a judge, although only Junior partner, his level in the industry should not be underestimated.

The scope of the first cw architectural design competition was not large, and the specifications were not low.

In addition to the junior partner of Foster + Partners in the UK, there is also an architect in the US firm P&W.

These two judges are enough to compete with the professors of Cornell School of Architecture. The professors focus on academic research, and the judges of the two firms are more pragmatic.

The professors hope that the professional knowledge will be solid and innovative, and the unique design beauty will shine.

The two judges from the firm felt that the architectural design would eventually become a achievable project, what if it was not pragmatic?

Only those students do fancy designs.

When you really get into this line of work, you know that those are all useless sidelines!

On the premise of maintaining artistic beauty, how to accurately grasp the customer's mind is the key to winning in public bidding!

To be eye-catching, but also to consider the client, rather than recklessly forcing the client to accept the architect's own ideas... The student's work may be overflowing with spirituality, but it is also too unfettered.

There are serious differences in the aesthetics of the judges of the School of Architecture and the judges of the firm.

Therefore, the top three rankings cannot be decided for a long time.

"Professor McCarthy, what's your opinion?"

The two sides quarreled for a long time, but Professor McCarthy has been very quiet.

Finally, both sides of the dispute still remembered this neutral.

Professor McCarthy's hooked nose exudes the breath of strangers, and he honestly expressed his concerns:

"I can't make a choice. For these two works, my students participated, and emotional preferences will affect my judgment."

McCarthy's colleague, another professor at the School of Architecture couldn't help but say: "You really don't know what students call you in private? McCarthy, you have an emotional preference for students! According to what you say , all the contestants are students of the Cornell School of Architecture and Design, and the three of our judges' classes, no matter what grade they are in, have taken at least one class, so we will also be confused about emotional preferences?"

Then there is no choice.

Professor McCarthy glanced at his colleagues blankly:

"I certainly have an emotional preference, and between the dumbass and the overachiever, I can't help liking the overachiever."

This is completely understandable.

Teachers are human too, just teach them once

The students are still very hardworking. Compared with the students who have been taught many times and do not know how to work hard in private, what kind of students do you like need to be said.

McCarthy's colleagues laughed:

"So there is nothing to be embarrassed about now. They are all top students. You like them the same, and they are standing on a fair starting line."

McCarthy frowned.

This is absolutely unfair.

There are people from Foster and P&W here, and whoever takes the first place in the race will rush out of the starting line to take the lead.

But the colleague is right, there is only one first place, even if he has his own preference, he has to cast his vote.

"Professor Lipton, this time, I will be on the side of the judges of the two firms, I like the aura of the other work, but I have to admit, this work, it should be the champion of this competition- —”

Professor McCarthy picked up a work on the conference table.

The firm's two judges applauded:

"Professor McCarthy is indeed the most impartial."

"It's a champion for granted!"

Professor Lipton was dumbfounded.

Why did he bring McCarthy in? McCarthy never played cards according to common sense, so he didn't think that the School of Architecture should be united. He would just go his own way!

Professor Lipton pinched his nose and recognized it, his voice slightly sharp:

"This is the first place, and the second and third places will not be controversial, right?"
