Chapter 54: Feng Shui
Lin Hai returned to his hometown after a long absence, but his mood was a little heavy, but he was extremely excited in front of his happy parents, and happily told his parents that he had got a good job, although he had to work in a strange country thousands of miles away, but the income was very good, and he could change the environment and change his mood.
Although Lin Hai's parents were a little concerned about their son going farther and farther, considering their son's future, the two old men were also full of joy.
Lin Hai transferred another million to his parents, and the rest of the money was slowly remitted to his parents by Hu Xiaomei, although Lin Hai's parents did not want their son's money, but Lin Hai used overseas work, food, housing and transportation as a reason, plus he was not around, he could only give some money and the right to be filial, the two old men had to accept it, but they helped Lin Hai save it as a wife.
Lin Hai didn't say much about this, and he couldn't say anything.
Lin Hai, who was in a complicated mood, stayed at home for one night, and the next morning he ran away to Yangcheng as if he were reluctant to leave.
There was nothing to say all the way, thanks to the efficient high-speed railway in Huaxia, Lin Hai arrived at Yangcheng in the south of the motherland in the afternoon of the same day, and the time was pressing, Lin Hai got off the train and went directly to the old campus of Yangcheng University of Technology with his suitcase.
Yangcheng is an ancient city, Yangcheng University of Technology has a history of more than 100 years, with the change of the times, the urban scope of Yangcheng continues to expand, the population is also increasing, the historical Yangcheng University of Technology is gradually becoming old and cramped with the times, more than 20 years ago, Yangcheng University of Technology built a new campus in the new city that is several times larger than the old campus, but the old campus is still preserved as a city symbol.
It's just that the old campus is too small and old, and the teaching and accommodation conditions are relatively backward, so that the students who advocate the new trend are not happy, and no department is willing to stay in the old campus.
When Lin Hai pulled his suitcase and entered the campus full of ancient trees, he didn't even ask the security guard guarding the door, the campus seemed a little deserted, but it was filled with a deep cultural atmosphere, Lin Hai liked this kind of environment with a story, of course, this preference only appeared after he became an awakened person, and it may have a close relationship with his self-pursuit and soul turning.
Lin Hai contacted Professor Huang Baiquan before arriving, and according to the address given by Professor Huang, with the navigation software accurate to the centimeter level, Lin Hai found the destination without taking any wrong road.
This is an independent courtyard surrounded by undulating classical glazed blue brick walls and flower windows, the courtyard gate is a moon gate, and above the lintel hangs a door plaque with gold characters on a black background, with four big characters written on the wind, and two tea-colored wooden boards standing on the side, distinguishing the words of the Graduate School of the School of Environment and the National Institute of Cultural Strategic Cooperation Projects.
Lin Hai has not studied much architecture, or he doesn't know anything about it, but he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and the garden design here is very different from the design of his hometown in Jiangnan, which should belong to a typical Lingnan garden, but Lin Hai guessed, because he didn't know what the logo of the Lingnan garden was, but the flower window made of colored broken glass made Lin Hai liked it very much.
Lin Hai, who was pulling the suitcase, made the occasional passers-by a little concerned, so he asked curiously about Lin Hai's intention, and Lin Hai asked about the location of Professor Huang Baiquan's office by the way.
The location of Professor Huang's office should be the main hall of the first courtyard, there is a square pool in front of the main hall, there are some scattered lotus leaves in it, it is the time of flowering, a few fist-sized snow-white lotus flowers look very pleasant, and occasionally you can see the spotted koi fish flashing under the lotus leaves.
Bypass this square pool, walk up a few steps into the eaves corridor, you can enjoy the stained glass windows up close, the main entrance is a hollow wooden door, four folios, a golden plaque on the lintel, on the book well-being.
Lin Hai tugged at the corners of his mouth, what the hell is this happy house? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the office of a higher school, but like the mansion of some landlord and old talent.
Entering the main hall, the furnishings inside are not the style of the landlord's house, but a shadow wall on the front, on which is a picture of Mount Tai Yunhai, two couplets on the left and right, there are two fortune trees under the couplet, in addition to the empty hall house.
As soon as Lin Hai entered the hall, someone immediately greeted him and asked Lin Hai about his intentions, and then enthusiastically led Lin Hai around the shadow wall to the corridor on the right, and walked along the wooden floor to the end, which was Professor Huang Baiquan's office.
Although he had been mentally prepared, after entering Professor Huang Baiquan's office, Lin Hai still felt very grotesque, on the surface, this office did not look like an office at all, but more like a classical study, antique bookshelves and museum shelves, and the four treasures of the study on the mahogany table.
But the bronze gold toad on the desk, the golden well bar in the corner of the desk side and back, the strange things on the museum shelf, and the 28 constellations of the Western Han Dynasty hanging on the wall facing the door, these strange things are combined together, making people completely unable to grasp the thoughts of the owner here.
The owner of the room was standing on the side of the huge mahogany bookcase at the moment, looking at Lin Hai who was dragging his suitcase with a smile, and Lin Hai also looked at the man who was not tall, thin and slightly dark, and had a wig.
"Hello, my name is Lin Hai, and we were on the phone just now."
"Hehe, I'm Huang Baiquan, welcome, welcome, please sit."
Lin Hai unhurriedly put his suitcase against the wall at the door, then stepped forward to shake hands with Huang Baiquan, and then stood in front of the chair opposite the bookcase and waited, until Huang Baiquan returned to his position, and then stretched out his hand to signal, and the two sat down one after another.
Lin Hai took out his ID and official letter and handed them to Huang Baiquan, Huang Baiquan glanced at the ID, then opened the official letter and glanced at it casually, nodded with a smile and said:
"I figured you should be here too."
Huang Baiquan's words fell, someone knocked on the door, Huang Baiquan opened his mouth to let people in, the person who came brought tea to Lin Hai, Lin Hai smiled and thanked him, and after the person came out, Huang Baiquan continued:
"Now that communication is so developed, in fact, you don't have to run a long way every time, and I will summarize the progress of the project into a document every quarter and send it to you, which is exhaustive, don't you read those documents? Or are you just here to do the financial review of the project? ”
Lin Hai smiled, did not answer Professor Huang's question, but changed the question and said:
"When was the last time our guys came?"
"Huh? If I'm not mistaken, it was three years ago, how did Officer Lin say this? ”
For some reason, Professor Huang didn't seem to treat Lin Hai very well, but Lin Hai didn't care.
"Professor Huang, you should also be well aware that your research is actually a bit in the eyes of most people... Non-mainstream, yes, is non-mainstream, but this does not mean that your research and that of your colleagues are not valued, on the contrary, if your research is not valued, I will not be in front of you, so I am on your side. ”
Professor Huang raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised that Lin Hai could see his thoughts at a glance, but then he grinned:
"It seems that the hexagram I started today is correct, and sure enough, a noble person has come to the door."
Lin Hai twitched the corners of his mouth, Professor Huang Baiquan's words sounded a little strange, but if you knew his identity and research project, it wouldn't be strange at all.
That's right, Professor Huang Baiquan works in the School of Environment of Yangcheng Institute of Technology, and also teaches courses in the School of Architecture, teaching the history of human settlements and human settlements.
In fact, it is not lofty at all, the common name of this so-called human settlements is called - Feng Shui!
In fact, Lin Hai also took this task because of curiosity, no one could have guessed that the most mysterious institution in the country was sponsoring a feng shui gentleman, and also attached great importance to the research topic of this feng shui gentleman, which made Lin Hai very curious, and also felt that there might be information worthy of attention in it, so he took over this harvesting task.
"Don't dare, you can't call it a nobleman, but I'm sure I won't have any bias against your research, on the contrary, I'm curious and looking forward to it."
Professor Huang smiled and nodded:
"Let's go public before private, so what do you mean..."
"Listen to your research results, review the progress of the project, and convey to you the Institute's views and suggestions on the project."
Professor Huang narrowed his eyes, no researcher would like any reviewer who fell from the sky, not to mention that this one was still here to point fingers, but Lin Hai's position at the beginning still had some effect, although Professor Huang didn't like it in his heart, but he felt that it was better to take a look.
Moreover, Professor Huang is still a little confident in his divination ability and face-to-face ability, and the modest young man in front of him does not seem to be looking for trouble, nor does it seem that he has come to fight the autumn breeze.
"It's... You're alone? ”
"Yes."
"You may have misunderstood something, our research materials fill half of the data room, and you're afraid..."
Lin Hai smiled unhurriedly:
"I only look at the most critical things, isn't there such a sentence, a true word, a false scripture, Professor Huang can lead this project, I must have a way to teach me, and he will not let me sit on wax."
Huang Baiquan looked at Lin Hai with a little doubt, and then subconsciously looked at the official letter spread out on the table, and then nodded:
"I'm not a feng shui gentleman who runs the rivers and lakes, as a university professor has nothing to cherish himself, however, Officer Lin may not be very familiar with this project, there are many branches of this project, and there are many research results, and the key things you said may be taken for granted."
Lin Hai nodded with a smile:
"What Professor Huang said is that I definitely want to see these important achievements, but the key things I just said refer to the basic research results, the most basic ones."
Professor Huang glanced at Lin Hai strangely, and saw that Lin Hai was a little weak-hearted, yes, this requirement is actually Lin Hai's private goods, according to the task requirements, Lin Hai needs to understand the progress of the main project and the results of the branch project, etc., and then put forward some suggestions and directional requirements, the task did not let Lin Hai explore the essence of the project.
"Okay, then I'll talk to Officer Lin about the most basic things and research progress first, and then convene the project leader to hold a debriefing meeting."
"Very well, just do what you want."
