Every day is busy, fulfilling and happy, and time passes especially quickly.
In the spring of 1982, Jiang Lin and his classmates graduated from the 1977 undergraduate class. Before and after graduation, they were very busy. Because the graduates had to find jobs, everyone wanted to stay in big cities and get good jobs. Those who had the ideas and ways to do so had to make some arrangements to try to get a job with better benefits.
Jiang Lin's classmates also made their own plans. Since it was the best university in the province, the jobs they were assigned were relatively good, and most of them could go to large companies. Only a few returned to their hometowns or went to city or county-level companies.
Jiang Lin, Su Xingyun, Zhang Shaopeng and other classmates were directly admitted to the graduate school of the same university. In addition to further studying in his original major, Jiang Lin also took elective design courses such as architectural design and urban landscape as his energy allowed.
She was a decorator in her previous life, so now she can learn it with less effort.
Jiang Lin knew that after entering the 1990s, especially after the year 2000, cities developed rapidly and expanded rapidly, and urban construction also showed explosive expansion. This led to a series of urban construction problems, such as roads and sewers being repaired and blocked every day, the roads becoming wider and wider but pedestrians having no way to go, various road surfaces being uneven and bumpy, various unreasonable poles and buildings being arranged everywhere and finally becoming obstacles, etc., causing a series of problems. If these problems were taken into account when urban planning and expansion were initially carried out, it would not be so embarrassing later.
So after being admitted to graduate school, she immediately started writing a paper on the feasibility of reasonable planning for urban construction, especially on the issues of urban drainage and sewage disposal.
At that time, writing a paper was naturally not like the later generations, where you just pieced together something online, and you didn't need to check for plagiarism. Everyone's paper was prepared by communicating with their supervisors, preparing carefully, reading a lot of materials, and collecting various first-hand data and materials.
Jiang Lin's project was highly praised and encouraged by her supervisors, who gave her a lot of help. Su Xingyun and other students also participated in it. At the same time, it also received strong support from relevant departments of the provincial government.
After being admitted to graduate school, she worked as deputy director of the First Research Department of the X Province Construction Engineering Research Institute, which was jointly established by the Provincial Construction Group and the Provincial University. The director was her mentor, Dean Wu, and the department was also the engineering department responsible for all construction projects of the Provincial Construction Group.
Unless they review and sign for approval, no construction project of the Provincial Construction Group can be implemented.
Because the teachers and students of the provincial university are rigorous and pragmatic and strictly pursue quality, the buildings produced by the Provincial Construction Group are beautiful in appearance, of high quality, and have a very high reputation. Architectural research institutes in the capital and various provinces come to visit, learn, and interact.
As a result, Jiang Lin got to know many fellow teachers, students, and engineers, learned from them, and received their strong support.
She spent a whole year collecting various data from home and abroad, from various provinces and cities, and only started to write the paper in the second year.
Her graduate program lasted two and a half years. She enrolled in the spring of 1982 and took her graduation thesis defense in the summer of 1984.
Her defense was well prepared and very successful, winning unanimous praise from her instructors and passing with the highest score in the department.
"Jiang Lin, congratulations!" As her mentor, Dean Wu feels very proud to see her perform so well.
Su Xingyun, Zhang Shaopeng and others also came to congratulate her. Her defense was so brilliant that it attracted many students to stand in the corridor outside the window to listen.
"A well-deserved flower of architecture." Zhang Shaopeng had always been secretly competing with Jiang Lin in his heart. He was better than Jiang Lin in professional courses, but due to the limitations of the times, he naturally did not have the same level of vision and perspective as Jiang Lin.
After listening to Jiang Lin's defense, he was convinced. "Jiang Lin, the position of director of the Provincial Construction Engineering Technology Department is yours from now on. I will never compete with you for it."
Now that they have graduated from graduate school, they can take charge of their own fields, whether in technology or administration. The Technology Department and Technology Section will be their world in the future. Their previous mentors have also retired and returned to the school.
Jiang Lin sincerely thanked them and bowed to them, "Thank you teachers and classmates for your help and companionship over the past seven years. Without you, I would not be where I am today."
Seven years is enough time for them to form a deep friendship and become mentors and friends, with lifelong affection.
Dean Wu smiled and said, "Jiang Lin, I have a request here, you must do it."
Jiang Lin smiled: "Teacher, I have never been perfunctory in doing anything you asked me to do."
In the Provincial Construction Technology Department 1, although Dean Wu is the director, a lot of the actual work is actually done by her. She has strong professional skills, which is also how her leaders and colleagues evaluate her.
Dean Wu: "My request is different from before. Your defense today was very exciting. I have already discussed with the school principal's office and would like you to give a speech in the auditorium to the entire school and the province." This will inspire the thinking and vision of the teachers and students of the provincial university and allow them to expand their horizons and look further ahead.
Pattern is the biggest highlight that Dean Wu saw in Jiang Lin's paper.
Jiang Lin was startled, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
It's just a defense. Even if it's good, there's no need to be so high-profile.
Dean Wu said solemnly, "We are all very fascinated by your concept of a humanistic city, and we want to hear you talk about it in detail. Not only teachers and students from our own school will listen, but also reporters from provincial newspapers, radio stations, and broadcasting stations will be invited to participate. It can be broadcast live on the radio, and the TV stations will also report on it."
Jiang Lin was a little confused as he was so high-profile right after graduation.
She has always been focused on her studies and working diligently. She has never thought about promoting herself or creating an image.
She just wants to live another thirty or forty years, when technology will be more developed and construction technology will be more advanced, and people at that time will still be praising the buildings she designed. They are elegant in shape and of high quality, and will not be out of date in thirty or forty years. They can still be lived in comfortably and happily after a repaint.
Now I have to push her to the front. Oh, I'm a little... excited.
Fear?
What is there to be afraid of? Jiang Lin is not afraid of such things. She has participated in the Capital Construction Engineering Exchange and Research Conference several times and has met with senior central leaders. What is there to be afraid of?
It’s just… such an important speaking opportunity, she needs to prepare well.
"Teacher, can you give me a few days to prepare? I want to prepare my speech more systematically."
"Jiang Lin, don't be nervous. Your defense is very good. Just follow this." Dean Wu encouraged her.
Jiang Lin had a lot of thoughts. The defense was so professional and boring. It couldn't be used as a speech. Except for professionals, outsiders would probably fall asleep after just a few words.
Dean Wu made an appointment with her to hold the ceremony in the auditorium on the afternoon of the day after the final exams. There were still about ten days left, which was enough time for Jiang Lin to prepare.
Jiang Lin went back to the dormitory to pack up her things. She could come back to pick them up in a few days. Because of her special job, she now lives in a single dormitory, so she doesn't have to worry about having too many things and it will affect others. It's okay to leave them there for the time being.
When she walked out of the dormitory building carrying her schoolbag and a handbag, she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Ling downstairs.
Ever since the competition for the school beauty five years ago, whenever the two met, Jiang Ling would pretend not to know her no matter what the occasion, so they got along peacefully.
Last year, when the flowers were in full bloom in early summer, Jiang Ling suddenly became high-profile and won the first prize in a new youth competition held by the Art Association. She was once again called a beautiful painter. There were even articles in pictorials and provincial newspapers praising her as a woman as pure and beautiful as an elf, as elegant and noble as the ladies she painted, and as charming and beautiful as the first snow and morning dew...
Anyway, it's full of compliments, which makes people feel sick just reading it.
Since Jiang Ling won the first prize in the competition, he has held a personal painting exhibition at the provincial university. He sold and gave away paintings and made it very lively. He even sought sponsorship to set up his own personal gallery and recruited people to start a provincial cultural company. He can be said to be doing very well and has a lot of fun.
Ordinarily, her achievements would seem to have made her successful and famous, enough for her to be proud of.
But she was not so happy, because her life was planned and arranged by Meng Yiyi, and her freedom was in the hands of Bian Haitao.
As they spent time together day and night, she inevitably fell in love with Bian Haitao, and he did not reject her and maintained a secret relationship with her.
However, she became more and more clear-headed day by day, and she was just a substitute.
She couldn't understand why Bian Haitao was so attached to Jiang Lin. After all, it was he who abandoned Jiang Lin. Besides, she didn't believe in any talk of liking her deeply in love.
But that was the fact, what you couldn't get was good, she could feel it herself, and couldn't deceive herself, so she was full of hatred for Jiang Lin, and she cursed her countless times, but God was blind and could not hear her prayers and calls, and let that woman live comfortably, even becoming more and more happy and dazzling, which could not be ignored.
Jiang Lin is 31 years old now, but time has not left any traces on her. She is like a blooming peony, bright and beautiful, becoming more and more mature, and her elegant temperament still maintains the innocence of a girl. In Jiang Ling's opinion, this is such a disgusting thing!
Five years ago, she was little Jiang Lin, and she was more beautiful and tender. But five years later, Jiang Lin was younger than her, with white skin, black hair, clear eyes, and even more radiant than before.
why is that?
Jiang Lin glanced at her, picked up her bag and was about to walk away.
Jiang Ling deliberately blocked her way and said sourly, "Jiang Lin, you can't suppress my brilliance."
Jiang Lin looked at her in surprise, "You're talking to me?"
You are from the Academy of Fine Arts and I am from the School of Architecture. Although I have also learned some basic painting, my major is not here and I will never compete with you. So, why are you so concerned about it?
"Bian Haitao said he would marry me." Jiang Ling forced herself to be proud.
Jiang Lin raised her eyebrows, "Congratulations. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
If she hadn't said it, Jiang Lin wouldn't have remembered Bian Haitao. Although she had met him sometimes over the years, she had no feelings for him anymore and they were like strangers. It was ridiculous for Jiang Ling to say such things.
She walked past Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling shouted, "Aren't you curious about how I got along with him?"
But Jiang Lin was not interested in knowing.
Jiang Ling became famous last year. She moved around the celebrity circles in the provincial capital like a butterfly, making friends with some men who were willing to support her in the political and business circles. What's so strange about her knowing Bian Haitao?
Jiang Lin didn't mean to ask about her. It was mainly because Lu Hang, for some reason, was more concerned about Jiang Ling's affairs. Last year, Jiang Ling became famous and moved around in a circle of powerful and wealthy men. As the future successor of the textile factory, Lu Hang was naturally lucky enough to see the whole scene. He was very upset about Jiang Ling stepping on Jiang Lin, and he cared a hundred times more than Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan. He even dragged Guo Yanqiu to see Jiang Ling's exhibition just to make things difficult for her.
There is no one else like him.
When Jiang Lin walked out of the dormitory building, she saw a brand new army green jeep speeding along the wide road of the campus. It did a beautiful drift and turned around to stop beside the road when it arrived at her building.
Two faces, one big and one small, immediately popped out of the rear window, one was a handsome boy's face, and the other was a delicate and pink doll's face.
The brother and sister Xiaobao and Baosheng grinned at her, one slyly and the other sweetly, adding a hint of coolness to the hot summer day, making people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
The cab was pushed open and Dabao walked towards Jiang Lin. Although he was only 14 years old, he was over 175 cm tall, taller than many adults.
With a slender figure and handsome appearance, such a young man will attract people's attention as soon as he appears.
The classmates around him immediately noticed him and exclaimed, "Look, where did this classmate come from? He's so handsome."
He took the bag and schoolbag from Jiang Lin and said, "My dad asked us to come."
The 14-year-old boy is in the voice changing period. His voice is slightly low and hoarse, but already has a bit of charm, and is not as unpleasant as other boys' voice changing.
He was afraid that Jiang Lin would blame him for driving on the road, so he took the initiative to explain that as long as he said it was his father who asked him to do so, his mother would generally not care.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but say to him, "You're only 14, not 24. Didn't I say you can only drive when you're 18?"
At that time, there was no rule that you had to be 18 to get a driver's license, so many boys in the compound could drive at the age of 16 or 17. But Dabao and Xiaobao learned to drive at the age of 12, which was definitely early. They were not tall enough when they were learning, and I don't know how funny it was.
Xiaobao had already pushed open the car door, and holding Baosheng, they both smiled and said, "Mom, did your defense go well? We're here to pick you up."
Jiang Lin looked at them helplessly and gently pinched Baosheng's little face, "Big girl, don't always let your brother hold you on his back."
This girl is obviously a smart one. When she goes out, she likes to pretend to be a simple, naive and obedient girl. She either lets her brother carry her on his back or hugs her. She smiles sweetly to everyone she meets, and no one is not fooled by her.
Baosheng straightened up and kissed Jiang Lin on the face, his voice soft and gentle, "Mom, Baosheng misses you so much."
"Hey, Jiang Lin, your son and daughter are here to pick you up."
If you know Jiang Lin, please come over and say hello to her, and take a look at Dabao, Xiaobao and Baosheng up close. You can’t get enough of them!
These three children have been little stars in the province since they were young, and everyone is familiar with them. However, as Dabao and Xiaobao grew up, Dabao became much quieter, and his expression became cold and indifferent, so others dared not approach him to get close to him.
Look at him, he is really a winner in life, he looks like he is in his early 20s at 31, his son looks like his younger brother, and when they stand together, they don’t look out of place at all.
Some people stared at Baosheng's skirt. Those who knew the goods could tell at a glance that it was imported and cost dozens of yuan. They were very surprised. Jiang Lin doted on her daughter too much. She actually let such a little girl wear such expensive clothes. She would grow taller in a blink of an eye and there would be nothing for her to wear next year.
Baosheng suddenly felt that people were looking at her skirt, and she smiled sweetly, "Auntie, do you like my skirt? It costs more than 50 yuan to import it, but 25 yuan is enough for us to make it ourselves. If you want to make it, you can ask my mother for help."
Oh my goodness, this kid can run a business at such a young age.
The classmates were all very fond of it. "We can't bear to part with it because it's so expensive. Baosheng, your parents are so good to you."
Baosheng smiled with her eyes curved, "Yes, my brother is so nice to me." She hugged Xiaobao's neck and her smile was prettier than the crape myrtle flowers by the roadside.
Jiang Lin said a few words to her classmates, then said goodbye and urged Xiaobao to get on the bus and go home.
At this time, Baosheng turned his head and saw Jiang Ling not far away. She was staring at them with gloomy eyes, and she looked a little like her mother. Baosheng immediately knew who she was. With Lu Hang nagging her all day long, it would be strange if she didn't know.
Baosheng chuckled and said to Jiang Ling, "Auntie, do you want a skirt too? If you want one, why don't you ask? Why are you gouging my eyes out?"
Aunt
Jiang Ling was so angry that her nose was crooked and her eyebrows were raised, "You uneducated little girl!"
Xiao Bao: "You look older than my mother, isn't it wrong to call her auntie or grandma? That's what we call her in the countryside, or... do you like old witches? Hehe."
