My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 23 Xue Lin, please be sure to apply to Jinling University!

"Are you asking for leave?"

"Yes."

Xue Lin nodded.

"Is there something you need?"

"I would like to invite you."

Xue Lin just smiled.

Do I really need so many reasons to ask for leave?

Hu Na sighed, "Alright, it'll be noon by then. Be careful."

"OK".

Xue Lin took the leave slip.

He went outside.

Having arranged to meet Professor Chen at the Jiangcheng Hotel, Xue Lin arrived there early.

I ordered a coffee and then waited patiently.

He did check Professor Chen's resume yesterday; it was very impressive. In fact, he is currently the dean of the School of Architecture at Jinling University. In any case, he can be considered a big shot in the field of architecture.

Although I haven't reached the level of an academician yet, I'm close.

It should be missing some large-scale national projects.

That's simple.

At least for Xue Lin, it's not difficult.

He quietly sipped his coffee, gazing out the window at the entire city of Jiangcheng.

"Hello there."

A middle-aged man walked towards them; he was very refined.

However, when I saw Xue Lin, I couldn't help but be amazed.

"Are you Xue Lin?"

"Yes, Professor Chen, right? Please have a seat." Xue Lin also stood up with a smile.

Chen Hui also sat down, the amazement in his eyes lingering for a long time.

"What would you like to eat, Xue Lin? It's on me."

Although he was amazed by Chen Hui's professionalism, he still needed to make proper arrangements for the people first, otherwise it would seem extremely abrupt.

"It will be all right."

"These four will do." He glanced at the signature dishes on the first page.

Chen Hui ordered them all.

The waiter nodded, made a note of it, and then left.

Chen Hui looked at Xue Lin.

An invitation was handed over.

"Xue Lin, this is an invitation from our Architectural Society. The event is this Saturday."

"Do you have some free time to come and share your insights?"

"Okay." Xue Lin glanced at it and then put it away.

"May I ask you how you came up with the architectural style of 'minimalism'?"

"My family runs a construction company. Recently, some people's orders and requests have leaned more towards this style, so I designed a villa like this for them. After the design was completed, I had a sudden idea to turn this style and pursuit into a category, so that at least more people can explore this style."

What Xue Lin said was true, although when put together, it wasn't quite the same thing.

But who cares?

"Is that so?" Chen Hui nodded slightly.

Isn't this a scientific genius?

They are able to summarize and draw conclusions, and they also have a sense of problem-solving.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he possesses an innate talent for scientific research.

"I noticed that you discussed some philosophical propositions in your paper. Does Xue Lin have some knowledge of philosophy?"

"Yes, I think architecture and philosophy are inseparable."

"Judging from the architectural styles of the Renaissance period, architecture is most easily influenced by the fashion, economy, and social atmosphere of the time."

"But most importantly, philosophy."

Xue Lin spoke.

"The architecture of that time was imbued with humanistic thought and philosophy, taking people as the standard and reason as the method. Therefore, the architecture of that time was full of a posture of order based on mathematical harmony."

"For example, the Florence Cathedral at that time used hemispherical geometric arches instead of the pointed arches of Gothic architecture."

"Furthermore, the fact that it was completed entirely through the rational calculations of mathematicians, the deductions of mechanics, and the autonomous construction symbolizes that the harmony of heaven can be built by human reason."

"Let such grand architecture no longer be defined by gods, but be a kind of social and humanistic value that can be created by people."

"Human reason can conquer nature and overcome technical difficulties; this is the influence of intellectual trends."

Xue Lin simply explained with a smile on his face.

Professor Chen was pouring tea, but he didn't even notice that the tea was overflowing.

"Professor Chen?"

Xue Lin pointed to the teacup.

"The water is full."

"Oh, oh." Chen Hui finally realized what was going on.

At the same time, I was also shocked by something. What was this?

A high school senior was given a lesson in architectural history?

However, Xue Lin's point of view is indeed correct; philosophy seems to have a certain relationship with architecture.

However, it is generally believed that architecture came first, followed by philosophy!

Once the architecture is established, we can then analyze its significance at the time.

Analyze the impact of the architecture at that time.

Where can you find a theory that comes out directly without any practical application?

This kind of exploration has completely gone beyond the scope of induction and summarization.

At least, Xue Lin's awareness was probably more than ten years ahead of the current architectural community!

Chen Hui wiped the table.

He spoke with admiration, "Well done, Xue Lin seems to have a very thorough understanding of the theory."

"If we could give a presentation at the Architectural Institute of America, our institute might be able to promote this new architectural style more vigorously."

"By the way, you said earlier that you designed a villa yourself?"

"Can I take a look at it?"

He felt that the person in front of him was constantly giving him a shock.

Whether it's the effortless approach to architecture or the ability to independently complete designs and dissertations.

Most importantly, they're young!

too young.

"Okay, but there's no computer, just some images."

Xue Lin handed over the phone.

Chen Hui stared intently at the image above.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up abruptly, his face filled with shock, and stared at Xue Lin.

"You mean, you made all of this yourself?"

The various icons and layers on this page.

Even the national standards listed are all correct!

Moreover, it is extremely comprehensive.

The structure, architecture, and various decorations are all complete, and the style and architecture truly embody the unity of knowledge and practice.

"Yes," Xue Lin simply smiled.

Chen Hui remained silent for a while.

He just felt like he was having a brainstorming session.

This is what genius is all about!

The food has already started to be served.

Chen Hui picked up his chopsticks, trying to calm himself down by eating.

But then I quickly realized the most important point.

"By the way, Xue Lin, may I ask how your grades are usually?"

"My grades are average. I only got 648 on the academic proficiency test a few days ago."

Xue Lin gently shook his head.

This data still isn't enough to get into Jinling University.

648?

Chen Hui's eyes widened.

That's good enough!

He had been considering whether to recruit him through a special admissions process.

But that's completely unnecessary!

Six hundred and forty-eight, directly entered a marginal major at Jinling University.

Then, switching majors will be perfectly sufficient!

Special admissions require reporting to the school and even approval from higher levels. He only has one spot available each year!

But changing majors is too easy!

It's just a matter of saying hello.

He immediately stood up and said earnestly, "Xue Lin, please, you must apply to Jinling University!"
