Chapter 290 Are You Willing to Give It Up? The call was from Professor Li.
On the phone, he apologized to Jiang Si on behalf of the Construction Department and the entire project team.
"I'm sorry, we were negligent in this matter and have caused you harm."
In fact, when seeing the design draft, many people questioned Shen Dongzhi's professionalism.
However, due to various reasons, the matter was not thoroughly investigated.
"Professor Li, please don't say that. The incident has passed."
To be honest, she should be grateful to Professor Li and Dean Gao for this matter, if it weren't for their outspokenness.
It is not so easy to overturn the verdict in this case.
After all, there are too many departments involved.
"Thank you, Professor Li." Jiang Si expressed her sincere gratitude.
However, Professor Li felt unworthy of her thanks.
After a pause, he said, "Xiao Jiang, I can't explain the follow-up of this design plan in just a few words."
"Are you free tomorrow morning? If so, I'd like to invite you to the Ministry of Construction so we can discuss this in person."
Jiang Si immediately accepted Professor Li's invitation.
But after hanging up the phone, she felt indescribably melancholy.
Although Professor Li didn't say it explicitly on the phone, Jiang Si had a rough guess in her mind.
But she didn't know how to talk to Huo Tingzhou about this matter for the time being.
Huo Tingzhou went to the military district to do some work today and didn't come back until very late at night.
He opened the door very quietly, for fear of waking up his wife.
At this time, only a dim bedside lamp was on in the room.
The two little ones were sleeping soundly in the cradle.
But Jiang Si was sitting on the headboard with her pillow in her arms, apparently lost in thought, and didn't even notice him opening the door and coming in.
Jiang Si suddenly came to her senses when she saw Huo Tingzhou leaning on the edge of the bed with his hands, staring at her without blinking.
"When did you come back?" she asked.
"I just got back." Huo Tingzhou lowered his head to answer, his eyes falling on her melancholy face, "Do you care?"
"Not really, Professor Li just called me this afternoon."
Jiang Si repeated Professor Li's words and then sighed softly.
In fact, she didn't think too much about it when she submitted the manuscript.
She just felt that this was a rare opportunity and wanted to give it a try.
Maybe it was because I didn’t have high expectations at the beginning, so after I learned that I was not selected.
Jiang Si didn't feel too excited.
But now it’s different.
Her proposal was actually selected!
Unlike later generations, any problem can be solved by making a phone call or holding a video conference.
Due to limited conditions in this era, designers still need to communicate with construction units on many issues after completing their submission work.
For example, if any design problems arise during the construction process, she has to make adjustments at any time.
Including the acceptance of the key processes later, she needs to be present in person.
"Professor Li probably wanted to talk to me about this."
After a pause, Jiang Si said, "If I take this project, I probably won't be able to return to Qiongzhou Island in the short term.
Huo Tingzhou listened quietly, without any expression of surprise on his face.
After Jiang Si finished speaking, he pulled her over.
After a long moment, he said, "I know."
Jiang Si looked over in surprise, "You know?"
"Um."
Huo Tingzhou rubbed the top of her head, his tone very calm.
"When the farm was being rebuilt, President Gao and his design team stayed on the island for almost three months."
