Chapter 85 Betting
Seeing the smile on Tao Nanfeng's lips, a trace of vigilance flashed through Zhou Ruowei's mind.
"You are the daughter of Professor Tao, a well-known scholar in the field of architecture. If you ask your father for help, or even just say hello to get into the finals, then this bet is unfair!"
The students next to them also nodded.
Yes, if Tao Nanfeng wants to participate in the competition, as long as her father says so, she can still enter the finals even if her design is bad, right? Even if we take a step back and Professor Tao Shouxin personally designs the product or gives some pointers, who can compete with Tao Nanfeng?
Tao Nanfeng smiled slightly and spread out his palms: "My father is Tao Shouxin, which is one of my confidences."
Zhou Ruowei was so angry that he vomited blood.
Having a relationship so openly is so shameless!
Tao Nanfeng continued, "I have listened to my father telling stories about architecture since I was a child. My father taught me how to read, read and draw. Therefore, I like architecture, worked as an educated youth in infrastructure and attended professional training at university. These are unavoidable.
If you want to talk to me about fairness... you are a senior and I am a sophomore. You have studied your major for two more years than me. We participate in professional competitions and compete on the same stage together. Is that fair? ”
Many times, Tao Nanfeng does not argue with others, simply because he is a noble person and disdains to argue with others.
However, since he started dating Xiangbei and felt the atmosphere of everyday life on the farm, Tao Nanfeng's personality has become more down-to-earth, diluting his aloof and arrogant attitude.
Seeing Zhou Ruowei's increasingly ugly expression, Tao Nanfeng's brows relaxed, and for the first time he experienced the joy of verbal debate.
Zhou Ruowei didn't expect Tao Nanfeng's words to be so sharp, which had nothing to do with what Feng You said, "saw-mouthed gourd", "dull temper", and "mean and mean".
He took a deep breath and retorted, "How can that be the same? I studied my major for two more years, and it belongs to me. If you ask your dad to help you, that's cheating!"
Finally grasping the key point, Zhou Ruowei subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes! You can bet, but you can't cheat. If you cheat, no bet will take effect."
Tao Nanfeng nodded slightly: "I can promise that I will never cheat, but how are you going to supervise me? What if I complete the design work with my own ability, and after I enter the finals, you casually slander that the work was guided by my father, then I will be beaten passively?"
With Tao Nanfeng and Zhou Ruowei as the center, groups of classmates gathered around them. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the two people tightly.
Across the crowded crowd stood a handsome young man, smiling and listening attentively.
The past events were still vivid in Qiao Yadong's mind, and he didn't know why he felt a sour and bitter feeling in his heart.
His chest was swelling and his eyes were red, Qiao Yadong felt both proud and distressed. Tao Nanfeng, who had been bullied but refused to fight back, and who had dared to stand up only after being encouraged by everyone, finally became brave.
She knows how to fight back and be on guard. Tao Nanfeng has grown up!
Zhou Ruowei didn't expect Tao Nanfeng's logic to be so meticulous. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
Yes, how can we supervise Tao Nanfeng to prevent him from cheating? She lives at home and sees her father every day. Her father casually said it and gave some advice, who would know?
Even if Tao Nanfeng really completed it independently, as a student in a cadre training class, her design surpassed that of a group of architecture students, no one would believe it.
Zhou Ruowei didn't have that kind of wisdom, so he could only raise his head and look around: "Classmates, do you have any suggestions?"
The students who were chattering just now shut up and there was complete silence for a moment.
A gentle breeze blew by, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches of the sycamore trees, shining on Tao Nanfeng, making her look radiant.
Tao Nanfeng raised his right hand, with his slender, green index finger pointing straight at the poster.
"The design competition is not limited to teams or individuals. The initial test only requires design specifications and architectural floor plans. Since you want to talk to me about fairness, I have a suggestion."
She paused, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhou Ruowei.
"We will participate in the competition as individuals and complete our works in the drawing room. The students present can send three representatives to supervise and ask them to complete the design within three hours. The representatives will sign, seal the bag, submit it, and then wait for the results."
Tao Nanfeng smiled brightly, his smile was as scorching as the sun.
"Just treat it as an exam, with a set time and place, and submit your work according to the design requirements. This way no one can slander me for having my father's guidance.
The signature of the work is completed by the supervisor, which may be a pseudonym or a code name, I don’t know, and there is naturally no possibility that my father would ask for me to enter the finals. ”
Tao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "How about it? Three hours of quick design, do you dare to compete with me?"
Completing the design brief and architectural floor plan in three hours, what a joke! Zhou Ruowei's first reaction was to refuse.
"Who wants to compete with you? Our bet is whether you can make it to the finals. If you make it to the finals, I will admit that I underestimated you. If you can't make it to the finals, then you have to admit that you have connections. From the beginning to the end, I never said I wanted to compete with you!"
Tao Nanfeng's eyes were sharp and he refused to give in at all.
"If you don't even have the courage to compete with me... then let me ask you, how can you look down on me, a college graduate who just graduated halfway through his studies, for not being as good as you, a worker-peasant-soldier college student? How can you say that I am not worthy of participating in this design competition?"
The people around were so angry that they started to shout.
"Are undergraduates not as good as college students? We still have some courage!"
"Isn't it normal for you seniors to do quick design? What are you afraid of?"
"Yeah, who was it just now who said that Tao Nanfeng was a relative? We came here to study based on our own abilities, can't we even be better than a relative?"
Zhou Ruowei was speechless and didn't know where he was.
How on earth was I lured into this trap step by step by Tao Nanfeng? I was just mocking her casually, how did it turn into a quick sketch design competition with her in front of everyone?
Don’t be afraid of the high stage when watching a play. The classmates next to me shouted excitedly.
"Okay, okay, Tao Nanfeng's suggestion is very good! It perfectly avoids Professor Tao's involvement and ensures that the competition is absolutely fair."
“Although the three-hour quick design is a bit rushed, it is not impossible to start at three in the afternoon and finish at six.”
"It's better to start now and not give Tao Nanfeng the opportunity to contact her father."
Tao Nanfeng stood there, as if glowing, making people dare not look at him closely.
She spoke slowly, and every word she spoke seemed to lash Zhou Ruowei like a whip.
"Zhou Ruowei, I've already laid out the rules, do you dare to take them? Since you dare to mock me for getting into school through connections, then you have to prove that you have the ability to criticize and accuse me! Let's compare and see who is better in terms of professionalism or my design ability!"
The shouting nearby was getting louder and louder.
"Zhou Ruowei, don't be a coward, compete with her!"
"Zhou Ruowei, if you're a man, get on with it!"
"Zhou Ruowei, let's compete, who is afraid of who!"
The public’s voice was so loud that Zhou Ruowei was forced to accept Tao Nanfeng’s challenge.
He stood in the crowd, his shoulders drooping slightly, his voice becoming a little shrill due to nervousness: "Let's compete! Start now!"
A group of people surrounded Tao Nanfeng and Zhou Ruowei and walked into the drawing classroom on the fifth floor of the teaching building.
Since architectural schools often have to complete drawing assignments, the entire fifth floor is a drawing classroom. A desktop with adjustable inclination, a large drawing board, a T-square, a triangle ruler, a scale ruler... everything is available.
When they heard that Tao Nanfeng and Zhou Ruowei were going to compete, the students who were drawing stood up and showed great enthusiasm.
"Come on, come on, I'll lend you my drawing tools."
"What drawings do you need? I have them all here."
“Do you need to clear the area?”
Tao Nanfeng waved his hand and moved his drawing tools from the next classroom, placing them two meters away from Zhou Ruowei's desk.
He took out an A3 drawing from the drawing tube, flattened it, glued the four edges, and fixed it firmly on the drawing board. He placed the T-square horizontally on the edge of the table, rolled up his sleeves calmly.
Hold a pencil in your right hand and rest your left elbow on the drawing board.
Everything was ready. Tao Nanfeng looked at the student standing on the podium who was in charge of supervision and said, "It's time to start!"
Tao Nanfeng was not concerned about anything else, and the only thing in front of him was the drawing table.
The T-square was buckled on the side of the drawing board and slid gently. He raised his forearm slightly, his eyes followed his hands, and his pen moved quickly. At this moment, Tao Nanfeng shone extremely brightly.
What is living? Human living functions;
What is a house? The space enclosed by building components.
Residential design is to construct an architectural space that meets the living needs of users through professional plane combinations.
The three major functions of a residence include basic function, value function, and cultural function. The purpose of this competition is to examine professional students' understanding of residential functions and their level of residential space construction.
Tao Nanfeng had been thinking about how to build new dormitories for educated youth since the summer vacation. She was also an educated youth and understood their housing needs and was familiar with the living environment on the farm. Now it was not a difficult task for her to describe what she had thought in her mind within three hours.
Tao Nanfeng is very confident about this.
In the Infrastructure Department of Xiufengshan Farm, she has a dedicated drawing table. Farm primary school, tea oil factory, cigarette factory... one architectural design work after another was completed there.
Countless times of combining theory with practice have enabled Tao Nanfeng to gain a deeper understanding of architectural design.
Confident, strong and calm, Tao Nanfeng made Qiao Yadong, who was standing outside the window, feel proud and honored.
In that difficult era, Tao Nanfeng was able to lead the educated youth to build brick and tile houses that even the engineers from the provincial capital's design institute were amazed. Now, sitting in this bright and clean drawing room, she can also create amazing design works!
About twenty students were standing outside the corridor, chattering.
"Three hours of quick sketch design? Tao Nanfeng is really amazing for daring to propose such a challenge!"
"Zhou Ruowei is a senior student. They have completed many architectural designs as a team and have experience in this area. Although three hours is a bit tight, it shouldn't be too difficult to complete a well-balanced residential design."
"Tao Nanfeng has only studied for a year, right? As far as I know, the cadre training class did not provide training in architectural design. It mainly focused on construction management. She is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
A majestic voice sounded from the other end of the corridor: "What are so many people doing here?"
When the students heard the voice, they turned around and saw a figure walking against the light. They hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Hello, Professor Tao!"
