And so, more than ten minutes later.
Jiang Si said, "That's about it."
"Okay, I'll sort it out right away. I'll let you know when I have good news."
Good news?
Jiang Si looked puzzled.
Before she could even ask, Dean Gao suddenly changed the subject.
"Xiao Jiang, have you read the National Daily these past two days?"
Jiang Si was taken aback when she heard this; there really wasn't one.
She doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers.
Moreover, during her postpartum period, Huo's mother was afraid that she would overuse her eyes, so she rarely let her look at these things.
But Dean Gao obviously wouldn't ask this for no reason.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Si asked, "Dean 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 architectural design competition. I think you can give it a try.”
"A call for submissions?"
"Yes."
Dean Gao said, "The higher-ups want to build a large hotel in the capital that caters to foreign guests, mainly for diplomatic talks and state banquets."
This is the first time the country has publicly solicited design proposals from across the nation, making it of extraordinary significance.
"Xiao Jiang, I've seen the revised proposal 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.
After a moment's thought, she asked, "Dean Gao, has the location for this international hotel been chosen?"
"I've made my choice." Dean Gao told her what he knew.
Jiang Si was even more puzzled after hearing this.
In later years, she worked in architectural design and gained some knowledge of landmark buildings across the country.
As far as I can remember, the only time the capital city expanded the east wing of the Beijing Hotel was around 1973.
But the address doesn't match.
The address of this hotel catering to foreign guests is to the west of the Beijing Hotel.
She remembered that the land to the west was all courtyard houses, and there didn't seem to be any high-rise buildings there.
After following this line of thought for a while, Jiang Si suddenly realized something.
She has now transmigrated into a book, and the world in the book is similar to, yet not entirely similar to, her original world.
The timeline overlaps with some major historical events, but the book also has its own logic and system for such minor details.
Having figured this out, Jiang Si asked the question she cared about most.
"Dean Gao, shouldn't such large-scale projects be designated for design institutes? Why are they soliciting bids publicly?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Gao sighed.
It's not that the higher authorities didn't assign any; this time, they assigned a total of three design institutes.
By mid-October, major design institutes had already submitted their design proposals.
However, the authorities were not satisfied with these proposals, which is why they decided to solicit proposals publicly.
As for the reasons for dissatisfaction, Dean Gao also explained them.
In addition to the three design institutes, several other countries have also expressed interest in this project.
This includes Country F, which established diplomatic relations with us in 1964.
Country Y and Country Windmill also submitted several design proposals this month.
