Jiang Si nodded and walked quickly over.

"Hello~ Hello, I'm Jiang Si."

A steady male voice came from the receiver, "Hello, Comrade Jiang."

Although the voice on the phone was a little distorted, Jiang Si still recognized what the other party said.

To her surprise, the call was actually from President Gao of the Design Institute.

The person whose name was signed on the design drawing was already confirmed, and Jiang Si did not say any pretentious polite words.

Instead, he said thank you to President Gao from the bottom of his heart.

But just saying thank you is too little.

After a few pleasantries, Jiang Si asked the other party for the detailed address.

It was already the end of November, and she would be returning to Beijing in two months.

Jiang Si planned to find a suitable time to visit.

President Gao readily agreed.

After a few more words, he asked, "Comrade Jiang, have you read the feasibility report on the shear wall?"

"I've read it." That day, Commander Yao and Commissioner Li left those documents to her after the meeting.

Since she had nothing to do during this period, Jiang Si took a look at it.

"So, do you have any thoughts after watching it?"

"A little, but not much."

"No, tell me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shuffling papers came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Si didn't keep anyone in suspense and told everything.

Dean Gao responded from time to time.

Just like that, more than ten minutes later.

Jiang Si said, "That's about it."

"Okay, I'll sort it out right away, and I'll let you know when there's good news."

Good news?

Jiang Si looked confused.

Before she could ask, President Gao suddenly changed the subject.

"Xiao Jiang, have you read the National Daily these past two days?"

Jiang Si was stunned when she heard this. This really didn't exist.

She has no habit of reading newspapers.

Moreover, during the confinement period, Huo's mother was afraid that she would stare too much, so she rarely let her see these things.

But President Gao obviously wouldn't ask this for no reason.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Si asked, "President Gao, is there any important news in the newspaper?"

"right."

Dean Gao said solemnly, "The National Daily published a news item a few days ago about a nationwide competition to solicit architectural design proposals. I think you could give it a try."

"Recruitment activity?"

"Yes."

President Gao said, "The higher-ups are planning to build a large foreign-related hotel in the capital, primarily for diplomatic meetings and state banquets."

This is the first time that the country has publicly solicited design proposals from across the country, which is of great significance.

"Xiao Jiang, I've reviewed the modification plan and design drawings you made last time. I think you're fully capable of giving it a try."

Jiang Si was still a little confused at this moment.

After pondering for a moment, she asked, "President Gao, have you chosen the address for this foreign-related hotel?"

"It's chosen." Dean Gao told her what he knew.

After hearing this, Jiang Si became even more confused.

Later, she worked in architectural design and had some knowledge of some iconic buildings across the country.

In Indian history, it seems that the capital only expanded the east building of the Kyotsu Hotel in 1973.

But the address doesn't match.

The address of this foreign-related hotel is to the west of Jing'an Hotel.

She remembered that the land on the west side was full of courtyard houses, and there didn't seem to be any high-rise buildings.

After following this line of thought for a while, Jiang Si suddenly reacted.

She is now traveling through a book. The world in the book is similar to the original world, but not completely similar.

The timeline overlaps with some major historical events, but the book has its own logic and system for such minor details.

In order to clarify this point, Jiang Si asked another question that concerned her the most.

"President Gao, shouldn't a large-scale project like this be undertaken by a designated design institute? Why is it being publicly solicited?"

Upon hearing this, President Gao sighed.

It’s not that the higher-ups didn’t assign anyone. This time, they assigned a total of three design institutes.

By mid-October, all major design institutes had submitted their design proposals.

However, the higher-ups were not satisfied with these, so they decided to conduct an open call for submissions.

As for the reason for dissatisfaction, President Gao also explained it.

In addition to the three design institutes that submitted their design proposals, several other countries are also interested in this project.

Among them is Country F, which established diplomatic relations with China four years ago.

Country Y and Windmill Country also submitted several design proposals this month.
