Chapter 163: Design Competition Set to Send Books and Request Letters of Introduction...
Chapter 163
Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin didn't finish their tour because the Forbidden City is so huge.
It was getting late, and they were both hungry after walking quite a distance.
They hurried back and asked Master Yang to take them to Donglaishun.
"Master Yang, please join us for lunch. Hotpot is all about having fun." Lin Mujin invited.
Master Yang waved his hand. "No, I already ate in the car. I can't eat anything."
Seeing that he refused to get off the car no matter what, Lin Mujin had no choice but to stuff another pack of cigarettes into his mouth.
The brother and sister didn't ask for a private room, so they just stayed in a corner of the lobby.
Lin Mujin began to observe as usual.
There are neatly arranged tables and chairs, and paintings and photos on the walls.
Clean, tidy, it's a decent restaurant.
But her food needs to be unique.
The two of them ordered a pound of mutton and a pound of beef, as well as vegetables, dried tofu, and vermicelli.
"Brother, let me help you with the seasoning."
Copper hot pot must be served with sesame sauce.
"Brother, eat meat!"
Lin Mujin boiled a piece of mutton with chopsticks, immediately wrapped it in sesame paste and put it into her mouth, which doubled the deliciousness.
"Sister, you are right, there are so many delicious foods here!" Cousin Lin was also eating with a sizzling sound, and he refused to let go even though it was hot.
Lin Mujin asked the waiter for two more bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.
The two of them finally slowed down their eating speed.
"Sister, what if Dean Pei doesn't agree to hold the competition this afternoon?" Cousin Lin was still a little worried.
Lin Mujin, however, was confident. "That's okay. We can still consider the Department of Architecture at Peking University. Even if Peking University doesn't accept us, there are still so many architectural design institutes out there. We can just raise the design fee. Someone will definitely agree."
Cousin Lin nodded. "As long as you know what's going on, that's all. Where are we going after dinner?"
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to... which park to help digest the food. We can't go to National Tsing Hua University too early."
It seemed like she couldn't wait any longer.
Cousin Lin asked again, "Aren't there other places that sell porcelain? Why don't you go and have a look?"
Lin Mujin waved her hand. "I don't dare go there. The water is too deep. I'm afraid of being cheated. I'll just buy it at Liulichang. It's a bit expensive, but at least most of them should be authentic."
After a few years, that will all be money.
"Brother, what do you want to buy?" Lin Mujin asked.
Cousin Lin didn't actually shake his head. Instead, he said, "I saw a beautiful bracelet."
Lin Mujin was so focused on looking at the porcelain that she didn't even notice the bracelet. "What material is it made of?"
Cousin Lin was a little uncertain, "It should be jade."
Lin Mujin raised her eyebrows, "Are those for men and women?"
Cousin Lin's eyes were a little evasive, "I don't really understand either."
Lin Mujin stared at him, "You're lying! Look into my eyes! Who did you buy it for? Was it Sister Xiuying?"
Cousin Lin looked around but didn't look at her. He argued softly, "We are just friends. It's okay for me to come inland to bring her a gift."
Lin Mujin's eyes were filled with gossip. "We're just friends, so who's hugging who..."
Cousin Lin quickly explained, "Xiuying was about to fall, so I helped her up. I didn't mean to hug her."
Lin Mujin said, "Once again, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl. Brother, you and Sister Xiuying have a deep bond."
Cousin Lin gave her some meat and said, "Hurry up and eat yours."
Lin Mujin snorted, "Eating meat can't stop my mouth!"
But no more joking.
Now Cousin Lin and Li Xiuying are probably more than friends but less than lovers.
The two will have to work together in the future, and maybe one day this window paper will be broken.
That’s right, Li Xiuying has already agreed to her recruitment.
But it has to be done by the end of the month.
In addition, she and her cousin were coming to the inland, so there was no rush for her to resign.
——————
Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin came to Tsinghua University again.
"Brother, I can go by myself. You just wait for me outside. The school is still very safe."
The main reason is that cousin Lin doesn’t speak Mandarin, and it would be awkward to just sit there.
Cousin Lin was a little tempted, but said, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Lin Mujin had no choice but to agree.
Lin Mujin entered Dean Pei's office again, where there were two vice-deans.
"Ms. Lin, the school has already held a meeting to discuss this, and they can agree to your design competition." Dean Pei announced the good news.
Lin Mujin was very happy. "Thank you very much, leaders. To show your sincerity, I can deposit the prize money here at school in advance, so that the first place winner can get the prize."
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the three leaders became even more satisfied.
Lin Mujin didn't waste any time and just reached into her pocket.
She has more than a thousand yuan in her pocket.
In addition to 888 yuan, there is also a good friend.
Dean Pei carefully collected the money but pushed the cigarette back, "We have a policy that forbids accepting it."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Three leaders, this isn't a bribe. How could it be so open and aboveboard? I just thought this competition might trouble some teachers, so I'm giving it as a thank you gift. These cigarettes are a Hong Kong brand, not very expensive, just a novelty."
Dean Pei looked at the other two deans and stopped pushing him out.
Then we discussed how to write the design competition notice.
"My thoughts, leaders. The information I provided can be placed with a responsible teacher. Any registered student or teacher is allowed to view it, but they are not allowed to take it away."
Lin Mujin had no choice but to do so because she only had this copy of the information and it would be troublesome if she lost it.
One of the leaders asked, “Isn’t only one day too short to register?”
Lin Mujin explained, "There's nothing I can do, leaders. I can't stay inland all the time. My Hong Kong and Macau Pass only allows me to stay for half a month."
Another vice president was obviously interested. "What is the 'Hong Kong and Macau Pass'?"
Lin Mujin had no choice but to explain it again and talked a lot about the current situation and customs of Hong Kong.
Until someone knocked on the door, and it turned out that they were looking for one of the vice presidents to sign.
The other vice president was also afraid that something might happen, so he left.
Lin Mujin was not in a hurry to leave after being pulled away. She reached into her pocket again and said, "Dean Pei, this is the martial arts novel I published. I also have a serious responsibility in Hong Kong. Opening a restaurant is just my side job."
Dean Pei raised his hand, ready to wave it away to refuse, but he didn't expect that it was two books, published by someone else.
Giving books to each other as gifts is an elegant act.
He waved his hand to refuse and then took the book. "Then I must read your masterpiece."
Lin Mujin quickly said modestly, "It can't be called a masterpiece. It's just that this first book still has many shortcomings and room for improvement. Dean Pei, I have another favor to trouble you with."
Dean Pei smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Mujin said, "I'm going to Yibin, Sichuan, to look at bamboo furniture. As you know, this restaurant has a traditional Chinese style, so bamboo furniture is best. Yibin's Jingzhu furniture is very suitable. I also want to use bamboo in the decoration. I mentioned this request before, and now I want to see the various bamboo weavings with my own eyes. I want to fly there, but I don't have a letter of introduction. Can you please give me one?"
Without a letter of introduction, she couldn't buy not only a plane ticket but also a train ticket.
I don’t know when this letter of introduction can be cancelled.
