My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 3: Global Architectural Standards Decline for 3 Years, Should I Remain Unchanged?

Xue Lin carefully calculated and organized the parts he didn't know. He glanced at the parts he knew and quickly skipped over them. Only the more difficult questions were written in his error notebook.

This learning efficiency is very high, and he adapted quickly and started doing practice questions.

For the first few questions, I barely thought about them; I just glanced at them and checked the options.

For simple questions, a glance is enough to reveal the steps and the result.

It's not difficult either.

He checked the answer.

If I get all of these right, then I won't have to spend too much time on these questions in the future.

In terms of answers, they are generally identical to his options.

Of course, he still has that much confidence; he just needs to verify it a little more and be a bit more cautious.

Suddenly, as if sensing something through a spider's web, he looked to the side.

Hu Na's mouth was agape, her expression one of utter astonishment, as if it could fit an egg inside.

The water glass in my hand almost slipped from my grasp, but I didn't even realize it.

Xue Lin reacted quickly and caught it.

"teacher?"

He looked at Hu Na and handed her the water glass.

"Ah, it's nothing." Hu Na finally realized what had happened, her expression somewhat unnatural.

His lips twitched, and he chuckled awkwardly, spouting nonsense, "Xue Lin, are you studying? Oh! I thought you were studying!"

Xue Lin was speechless and subconsciously looked up at Hu Na's head.

It really is pointed. This person has mastered it, right?

However, this was just a minor incident.

Hu Na said, "Then you can study. I won't bother you anymore. Good luck. Your mom has high hopes for you."

"OK."

Xue Lin nodded and smiled.

Xue Lin continued working on the problems. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to reach the top level in the country within a hundred days.

There are even glossary entries to help with it, plus memories from my past life, so it should be possible, right?

This was just a minor incident and didn't affect him at all.

Then, he continued doing problems, needing to pick up math, physics, chemistry, and biology again.

Chinese and English are relatively easy to handle.

For Chinese, you still need to memorize and read more; this can be addressed later.

If there are any additional bonuses later on, then it will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.

As for speaking English, I'm not so worried. I dealt with English almost every day in my previous life, so there's no reason for me to fail at this.

So he didn't think much of it, and the evening study session passed quickly.

He started packing his things.

"It's another pleasant day."

Xue Lin spoke.

Smiling.

Tomorrow is still full of hope, after all, new entries are updated every day.

"I'm gone."

He went out very quickly.

When he arrived at the school gate, a red car stopped in front of him.

"Get in the car."

Su Nuo took off her sunglasses, looked at him and spoke, striking a very cool pose.

"Mom." Xue Lin smiled and sat in the passenger seat.

"Mom, you're off work."

"Yeah, I just got off work. There's something going on with the design department that I have to deal with tomorrow. It's so annoying. It's getting harder and harder to make money." Su Nuo pouted slightly, but she wasn't being pessimistic.

My mom has a lot of energy; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to support such a large company.

Although she complained that it was annoying, these were just things that needed to be dealt with, and she didn't have any particular thoughts about them.

"What's wrong?" Xue Lin asked curiously.

"The design department has an order, it's not a big amount, but they've designed it several times and they're not satisfied. I've looked at all the drawings, and there aren't any problems."

"But since the client has made the request, we'll redo it tomorrow and try to come up with two more plans in the next few days. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to pay some penalty for breach of contract."

"Rationally speaking, we don't really want to do business with this kind of person. It's troublesome and we don't make much money. But if the solution isn't satisfactory, then it's our problem."

My mother spoke, a smile playing on her lips, but there was no real joy in her eyes.

I'm still tired.

Even with high energy levels, the body will still get tired.

Xue Lin was curious, "What kind of solution does the client want? Is it something tricky?"

"No, it's a normal retro style, but a minimalist retro style. Our designer has already done it his way, but the proposal has been rejected several times."

"I've never seen a design that combines retro and minimalist elements while also being aesthetically pleasing and elegant."

Xue Lin paused for a moment.

What does "first time meeting" mean?

is it hard?

Is it rare?

Isn't this a design that was everywhere in the past?

He quickly picked up his phone and started searching for architectural design methods and styles.

Sure enough, they're all traditional designs!

They haven't experienced the baptism of economic growth and high demands for style; even foreign designs don't incorporate much philosophy.

Architectural philosophy seems to exist in this parallel universe.

The architectural style and taste still pursue magnificence and splendor, that old-fashioned style.

Even the retro style is all in black tones, with an antique charm, but it's full of nouveau riche vibes.

"Does that mean that in this parallel universe, I represent the most cutting-edge design style?"

Xue Lin's expression was one of shock.

"Mom will send me the blueprints later, and I'll take a look and design something," Xue Lin said with a smile.

As Su Nuo drove, she glanced at Xue Lin with a smile, then quickly looked away.

"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

Suno did not dampen his enthusiasm.

Although she herself thought it was impossible.

However, she wouldn't deny Xue Lin's idea.

Even though Xue Lin wasn't very clear about architectural design or her company's affairs, she patiently explained things to him in a way that he could understand.

As long as Xue Lin is interested, that's fine.

Wouldn't it be better if the two people got along like close friends?

"How's school been lately? Have you made any new friends? Are you happy with the cafeteria?"

"It's alright." Xue Lin nodded, but then casually asked, "Mom, why don't you ask about my studies?"

"There's no need to ask too much about that." Upon hearing this, Mom pursed her lips, not wanting to laugh out loud.

The feedback from the tutors, and her communication with those teachers, is enough.

Even when it comes to studying, she doesn't want Xue Lin to feel any pressure.

As for the tutors, they were all hired after discussions with Xue Lin.

She even felt that even if she didn't learn anything, making friends was still a good thing.

So they all hired top students from Jinling University, and they are all girls with great personalities, so they should get along well with Linbao.

"I've been doing pretty well in my studies lately, Mom. Wait till I get into the top ten of my class on this monthly exam, and I'll show you!"

Xue Lin spoke, his expression resolute.

As for Su Nuo, although surprised, he nodded seriously, "Then I'll wait and see."
