“They are from the Beijing Municipal Institute of Industrial Design,” Huo Tingzhou explained.
"Yes, I know."
Jiang Si has been living in the family compound for almost a year now. She knows who are military dependents and who aren't.
Of course she knew.
Jiang Si was a little puzzled as to why all the people from the design institute were standing in front of her house.
Judging from their sweaty appearance, they must have been standing there for a while.
Not only was Jiang Si puzzled by this, but Minister Wu of the Logistics Department and Section Chief Deng of the Battalion Defense Section, who had come with them, were also completely baffled.
This morning they had just accompanied the design institute to assess the damaged factory buildings.
Immediately afterward, at Dean Gao's request, everyone went to the family compound right after lunch.
Little did they know, they had just arrived at Commander Huo's door.
Dean Gao stopped in his tracks.
And they stood there for more than half an hour.
Seeing that Dean Gao was staring at the attic of Commander Huo's house, Minister Wu stepped forward.
He tentatively asked, "Dean Gao, is there something wrong with this attic?"
He was a complete novice in architecture and didn't know much about it.
However, the apartment layouts and configurations of the regimental commander's building in the family compound are exactly the same.
In addition, after the attic was built, Jiang Si would open the windows for ventilation every day.
Therefore, the internal structure of the attic can still be roughly discerned.
"Originally, the roofs were all pitched roofs, and there was no wall inside the attic."
Minister Wu explained the situation briefly, then continued talking to himself.
"The location of that wall is quite strange. The attic is only so big to begin with, and a wall is just sticking out here. It will definitely affect the lighting and ventilation."
Dean Gao didn't speak, but looked up and adjusted his glasses.
His gaze fell back on the wall.
This wall may seem random, but its appearance is definitely not accidental.
Its thickness, height, and even the roof slope must have been precisely calculated.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so perfect.
On the surface, it sacrifices natural light, but in return, it provides real wind resistance.
Moreover, he could tell that this was a reconstruction on the original foundation of the house.
If it were a high-rise building being constructed from scratch, the location of this wall could be moved to a more suitable spot.
Thinking about these things, Dean Gao's brows and eyes relaxed considerably.
"Section Chief Deng, you just said that this attic was built according to Comrade Jiang's idea?"
“That’s right.” Section Chief Deng nodded.
After saying that, he took out two blueprints from his bag. "These two blueprints were drawn by Comrade Jiang. We will recreate them one-to-one."
Do you still have blueprints?
Dean Gao really hadn't thought of that.
As he took it, he quickly glanced at it.
The more he looked, the more obvious the shock in his eyes became.
"Minister Wu, what does this Comrade Jiang do for a living?"
What kind of work do you do?
Minister Wu was puzzled, saying, "She didn't take up her post."
"She didn't start working?" Dean Gao asked incredulously.
"Yes...yes."
Perhaps the shock in Dean Gao's eyes was too obvious, so Minister Wu offered another explanation.
"Comrade Jiang is Commander Huo's wife. She came to the unit last year to live with him and is currently six or seven months pregnant. She has been resting at home."
This is the known situation. As for whether Comrade Jiang has done other work before, that is unknown.
Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou arrived at this time.
"Commander Huo, Comrade Jiang."
Upon seeing the two return, Section Chief Deng called out to them.
Minister Wu was just about to introduce them to the group when Dean Gao unexpectedly extended his hand.
"Hello Comrade Jiang, I apologize for bothering you. I am Gao Boqian, the director of the Beijing Industrial Design Institute."
After saying that, he pointed to the people next to him, "This is my assistant, Xiao Li, and next to him are Engineer Wang and Engineer Zhang."
"Dean Gao, hello."
Jiang Si reached out and shook hands with the other person, then greeted the others.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Si asked, "I wonder what brings Dean Gao to see me?"
That's what she asked, but her intuition told her it was related to the attic.
After all, these people had been keeping their eyes fixed on the direction of the attic.
Not to mention, Dean Gao was still holding the blueprints he had drawn himself.
It would be hard for Jiang Si not to guess.
Dean Gao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Comrade Jiang, your attic is very unique, especially in terms of structural treatment and roof renovation."
"I just looked at the drawings you made, and I'm really curious."
"Would it be convenient for you to come up and take a look?"
Before Jiang Si could speak, Dean Gao looked over with a serious expression.
"In addition, I have a few more questions I would like to ask Comrade Jiang."
These words were spoken.
The eyes of everyone present were wide open.
Upon hearing this, Wang, Zhang, and the others who had come with them exchanged glances unconsciously.
Did they hear me right?
The dean actually used the word "ask for advice" when addressing a girl in her early twenties?
Jiang Si's expression didn't change much. She nodded and said, "Sure, please come in."
The door opened, and the group went to the attic.
Dean Gao examined it with exceptional care.
His gaze lingered on the walls, the roof, and the load-bearing walls, and he would occasionally tap on the wall with his hand.
Seeing how serious their dean was, the others who had come with him also began to take notes and observe carefully.
"Comrade Jiang, the roof slope of the attic is so gentle, aren't you afraid of water leakage?" Dean Gao suddenly asked.
