Chapter 655: A Superficial Selection
The temporary Columbia team was demonstrating its youth and energy . Their only advantage was that the professional teams had no interest in talking with young students . This made them feel at ease .
Nobody was looking at the deserted stage, as it was not the time for the results to be announced yet . This was not a lively entertainment show, so no staff was needed .
Actually, everyone was wrong . Every person present was being monitored, from the first person to arrive in the meeting room, to the last one to take their seat nervously .
The monitors were the sponsors of the competition and the developers of the new internet community . Those young rich men had used their family wealth to take advantage of the internet . Combining the industry with commerce was the best way to challenge the stereotype that the internet was a futile economy .
Of course, it was hard to tell if it was the real estate industry or the internet that were futile . This was enough for ordinary people though . At least they could see something tangible instead of a theoretical concept . They would gladly pay for that .
The young billionaires were quite different from old billionaires when it came to business . They were a lot more frivolous, but the cunning decision-makers on their team planned on selecting the final winner carefully .
When they saw that the eight remaining designs had their own merits and no obvious flaws, the young men decided to follow their hearts .
The meeting room, which was where the monitors were installed, became the final place of the selection .
"Look at that old fellow! He is adjusting his tie and asking his assistant to prepare a statement for him . He is so confident!"
The man, who was a middle-aged designer, was the one with the most seniority and abundant power among the candidates . Sadly, he was considered too old to win .
"Look at the two girls on those two teams . I'll bet you 100 dollars that they are enemies . They must hate each other, because one of them has bigger boobs and a flatter bottom than the other . "
The young man had to be a mind-reader . That certainly explained his success .
The unreliable judges cried out when Cong Nianwei's team entered the room .
"F*ck! Those guys are younger than us!"
"Let me see… They are the Architecture Department of Columbia University… That explains it . . . "
"Ah!" one of them screamed . The others glowered at him .
"It's Qin Guan!"
"What?"
"Where is he?"
The yacht club of the Chinese students had penetrated the local circle, so Qin Guan's name was brought up frequently among Chinese people . He was an idol for them, so he attracted a lot of attention from local rich men .
A model was not worth their attention, but a young man with his own fashion studio, accounting firm and gallery at such a young age was famous amid the younger generation .
That was when they spotted the mysterious man at their competition . Did this mean that the busy man was trying to find more career opportunities through their contest?
They were reading too much into the situation . Qin Guan had no idea they even existed . He had nothing to do with architecture . He was just sitting silently in the back row of the meeting room, trying his best to remain unnoticed .
He had only gone there for his girlfriend .
The trees liked their calm and quiet, but the wind would not subside . The people behind the monitors got excited .
"Let me see! What is he doing here?"
"Search online! Are there any news reports about him?"
Brian, who was the only sensible person among them, suddenly realized something .
"If my memory serves me, his girlfriend must be a student at Columbia . Look!" He pointed at the screen . "Isn't that Asian girl his girlfriend?" he asked the others .
"So what do you think? Who should win?"
"The eighth team, of course!"
"Qin Guan's team!"
"I'm on Qin Guan's side!" they all said together . The old friends burst into laughter .
"Their design meets the requirements . Plus, it's simpler and more convenient than the other designs . "
"Most importantly, they chose cheaper materials . The property tax won't scare young people away . "
"The most important thing is . . . "
"Ha ha . . . " Everyone laughed proudly with their hands on their waists .
"Microsoft and IBM are suppressing us on all fields . Peripheral industry, prospect investment, employee development… Even their private doctors are better than ours . We finally have something they don't!"
"Yes! When the residents settle in, we'll tell the media that Qin Guan is our architect's boyfriend!"
"Yeah!"
