The results proved that Chu Chen’s words were correct.
Early in the morning on Monday, a large group of people, men and women, gathered around the door of Wen Siheng's office. They were all dressed in formal attire.
To be honest, in their line of work, such a grand occasion is quite rare.
It’s not just that among the other party’s representatives, the ratio of men to women is close to one to one, but that each of them is wearing formal attire.
I don’t know if we all have engineering majors and have been working at various construction sites for many years. Except for leadership inspections or big occasions such as project acceptance, everyone’s usual outfits are generally very casual.
After all, after working overtime for a long time, almost everyone wears whatever is comfortable for them.
Among the people Jian Anran knows, the only exception is Wen Siheng. His classic skin of white shirt and black trousers is already considered a first-class formal outfit in the architecture department.
Rushing back from Xishan early in the morning, when she arrived at the bottom of the department building, Jian Anran took a special look at her phone. It was just after eight o'clock.
When the elevator door opened with a "ding", almost all the delegations at the office door looked this way.
Jian Anran didn't wash her hair for two days. She had her hair tied in a bun and went back to school today. She asked Chu Chen to borrow a pair of large black-rimmed glasses that blocked blue light to cover the swelling caused by eating barbecue for two days. She wore a white T-shirt and jeans.
, she went back to school wearing sneakers.
"Is this classmate Jian Anran?" A lady in a gray suit stood out from the delegation. She was wearing high heels and stood in front of her, a full head taller than her.
"We are sent by the executive director of Ludao Foundation. My surname is Wu." After saying this, the other party handed over his business card.
Quickly stretching out her hands, Jian Anran took the business card and took a look. The title on the business card was Department Manager. She was embarrassed to look at the business card carefully. She only saw the Ludao Foundation logo on it.
"I don't know if Teacher Wen Siheng has mentioned that we are here to have a meeting today to discuss follow-up cooperation matters."
"Ah?" Jian Anran's heart almost skipped a beat.
No! Wen Siheng didn’t say anything about such an important matter!
"Yes," she still tried her best to smile politely and pretend to be calm, "I didn't know you were here so early and we haven't started preparations yet. I'm really sorry."
There is still some distance between Ludao and Luojiang, which shows that they really got up early enough.
"Our office may not be big enough," she briefly counted the heads, and the other party said that there were at least a dozen people there. "Please wait a moment, I'm going to prepare the conference room."
After enrolling in school for so long, she has only known a few conference rooms at the end of the corridor, and she has never even entered them. After saying this, she felt very unsure.
She turned the key in two directions but failed to get it into the office door. When she finally turned the door lock, she felt like she was escaping from a zombie.
The person outside the door did not follow him, nor did he plan to turn on the light. Jian Anran put down her things in the dark.
[Jane: There are many people coming to Ludao, I will take them to the conference room first]
Before leaving the office, she quickly posted this sentence in the group chat.
After hastily asking everyone to rest on the chairs in the atrium, Jian Anran trotted all the way to the end of the corridor.
Sure enough, all the conference room doors were locked.
For the first time, she hated the school's security so much. For a while, Jian Anran didn't even know who to contact to get the key to open the door.
Standing helpless in the empty corridor, her eyes suddenly fell on the windows of the conference room near the corridor.
Not knowing what thought or trend suddenly arose in her heart, she stepped forward and opened the windows one by one.
Finding a breakthrough in the last row of windows and pushing open the window sash, the atheist Jian Anran suddenly wanted to thank God.
After sticking her head out and taking a look to make sure there was no one around, Jian safely climbed into the conference room through the window.
She opened the front and rear doors of the conference room from the inside, turned on the lights and ventilation equipment, and then walked slowly to the atrium.
"Please follow me to the conference room and wait for a moment."
After leading a group of people to the conference room, she couldn't find the drinks the school served guests, so she trotted back to the office to get bottled mineral water.
After making sure there was water on everyone's table, everyone rushed over immediately after receiving the news from Jian Anran. When they returned to the office again, Mi Yingying hurriedly stepped forward and said, "They are all here."
Jian Anran nodded and gave Wen Siheng a look behind him, "Everyone from the foundation is here, and the leader is a department manager named Wu."
"Teacher, do you know what's going on?" Mi Yingying suddenly turned around, "Didn't we already say we won't cooperate? Why are they here?"
Wen Siheng shook his head, "I don't know, I already rejected it."
He paused and said, "It was the college that told us to think carefully. Today's meeting was also arranged by the college."
"Academy?" Song Qi on the side was also confused, "What does this have to do with the academy?"
Although he is a teacher at Luojiang University, Wen Siheng's studio is not affiliated with Luojiang University.
Logically speaking, the projects he took on were all independent, and Luojiang University neither benefited nor had to bear risks, so the college has not intervened in any of Wen Siheng's decisions in the past six months.
Everyone turned their attention to Wen Siheng. He shrugged with an expression of "Don't ask me, I don't understand either."
……
The moment the conference room door was pushed open, the other party was already seated. When the leader, Manager Wu, saw Wen Siheng coming in, he quickly stood up and extended his right hand.
After hesitation, Wen Siheng shook hands with the other party.
"Good morning, Teacher Wen."
"Hello, Manager Wu," Wen Siheng did not sit down immediately, "If I remember correctly, I have clearly stated my intention on the phone before. From now on, our studio will not have any contact with your foundation." "You remember correctly," there was no trace of confusion in the other party's expression, "My leader mentioned this to me. We sent so many people here today just to remove any obstacles that prevent us from cooperating.
."
If it weren't for the fact that he had some professional qualities in him, Wen Siheng would almost lose his expression.
It's not that the other party did anything, it's just that this attitude changed so quickly that even Wen Siheng himself was surprised by what happened within their foundation.
"Didn't your foundation have unified opinions in advance?" As if he suddenly became interested in them, Wen Siheng pulled out the chair in the middle and sat down.
"What is Teacher Wen referring to?"
"The staff you contacted earlier were obviously unwilling to cooperate with us, weren't they?" Wen Siheng said.
"I understand," Manager Wu immediately turned back to the person behind him, "Fire that person immediately."
