Female Novel
Chapter 2451
“Put it on. Be careful." Luke handed Luca a new safety helmet.
Luca put on the helmet after she thanked Luke.
She could not help but let out a sigh. It had been a long time since Luke did foundation work. However,he was still as attentive as he was before when he got the job.
It was dangerous to walk in the old ancestral hall. There never had been any injuries or accidentscaused by the building collapsing, but the place was in ruins. It could collapse anytime.
Luca put on the safety helmet while Brian walked toward them and said respectfully, "Mr. Crawford, isthere anything I can help with?"
"What year are you in?" Luke asked. It would be fine if they could help him to carry the tools. If theycould not, Luke would rather ask them to leave than stay here and cause trouble for him.
"I'm in my second year. I've learned the basics of how to measure the area. Austin is in his first year,"answered Brian. The surname for most of the villagers was Crawford, followed by the surname Hart.
"The first-year student can go back home. We don't need him here," said Luke. He did not needsomeone who could not be of help here.
Besides, Luca was more capable than these two college students.
Even though it had been years since she engaged in the architectural industry, she was still capable.
Austin had already found out Luke's identity. After he knew that Luke had won many internationalawards, he quickly came forward and said, "Mr. Crawford, please take me along with you. I can help."
"..." Luke did not say a word. He picked up the measuring tool.
Luca was beside him to help him.
Then, Austin spoke again, "Mr. Crawford, I'll do whatever you want me to do. I won't cause any troublefor you and your assistant."
Luca shot a glance at Austin. She reckoned that he must have found out about Luke's identity.
After all, many wanted to learn from Luke, but not everyone had the chance to do so.novelbin
"Mr. Crawford, I think he wants to learn. Let him stay," said Luca. They were just students. It wasconsidered a good opportunity to have a chance like this that the others would never get.
Luca used to be an architect too. She understood how honorable it was to be able to learn from Luke.
At least, they could add something interesting to their resume in the future.
“Rearrange the design drawings with Brian," said Luke.
The old design drawings were brought by the village chief. However, after years of refurbishing andrebuilding the ancestral hall, it was already different from the original drawing.
Luke wanted the drawings to be arranged and updated to see if there was anything he could remodelso that they did not have to tear down the whole building.
After all, this ancestral hall was initially T Corporation's featured building.
Moreover, the village chief told him that there was a limited budget for the reconstruction. If there wasanything they could save on, they would try their best to save the budget.
Luke intended to help the village to save more money.
"Okay, Mr. Crawford!" Austin became energetic. He picked up the drawings and began to study themwith Brian.
"Let's start." Luke set up the machine and turned to look at Luca.
"Okay." Luca adjusted her safety helmet and began to help him to record the measurements.
Although it had been a long time since Luca did this, the tasks were easy for Luca as she had done thismany times.
Luke could measure quickly, and Luca was able to record the measurements with him.
Austin sat on the stone bench far away and was working with Brian to take notes. He looked in theirdirection.
Austin realized Luca was not holding Luke back. He could not help but mumble, "I thought she only hada pretty face..."
Brian heard him mumbling. He shook his head and said, "That's why we shouldn't look down on others.He looks like a rich heir, and she looks like she can't do anything except have a pretty face. But the twoof them are more capable than us."
Austin withdrew his gaze and replied, "We shouldn't look down on others, but we can't underestimateourselves too. We'll be as successful as he is in the future."
Brian had never underestimated himself, but he was nothing like Austin. Austin looked up at himselfand looked down on others.
"I'll strive to travel to A City and work in T Corporation after I graduate," Brian made up his mind.
"Don't expect him to hire you when you've only come in contact with him once," Austin tried to dampenhis enthusiasm.
"That's not what I mean. It's just a goal. Besides, there's no way you can pull the strings to get into TCorporation, but you'll learn many things about architecture when you get there. T Corporation hascreated many champions who won architectural competitions!" Brian said with admiration.
Those who were able to get into T Corporation were famous among the students who studiedarchitecture in their college.
Brian wanted to be a student their college would be proud of. He also wanted to learn more aboutarchitecture in a better environment.
"Look at how much you admire him. Do tell me when you get in there." Austin thought Brian was justtrying to butter Luke up.
It was past morning. The measuring progress was going well as Luke was there. They would be able toenter the hall to measure the area and look at the situation there in the afternoon.
As Austin and Brian were there with them, so Luca thought it would be inappropriate for them to ordertakeouts. Although Luke did not ask them to help, they had been arranging the drawings all morning. Itwould make them look stingy if they bought takeouts for them.
Therefore, Luca suggested they head to a restaurant nearby for lunch.
Brian recommended a local restaurant that served good food to them.
Hence, the four of them got into the car and came to the restaurant.
There was no private room in the restaurant. They picked a table in the corner and sat down.
After they ordered their dishes, Brian said, “Mr. Crawford, you work fast. That's impressive."
Brian had gone out with his lecturer to take measurements a couple of times before. However, hislecturer could not work as fast as Luke.
Luke could finish so much work in the morning. His speed and efficiency were so much higher than theothers.
"Not really," replied Luke. He was efficient but made sure of the quality and accuracy too.
"You're too humble. Our lecturer can't take the measurements as fast as you. Are we going to visit themain structure of the ancestral hall in the afternoon?" Brian asked.
Luke nodded. It seemed like although Brian was only in his second year, he knew a lot. Then, Lukereplied, "We're going to see if there are any structures we can keep."
Brian complimented, "Honestly, the village chief had asked for the fees of a few architects before helooked for you. They claimed that the building had to be torn down. Not only were the design feesexpensive, but the construction would also cost a lot of money too after summing everything up. That'swhy the village chief thought of reaching you to see if you can help."
Luke nodded.
Brian noticed that Luke probably did not talk much. He smiled and said nothing more.
Austin, who sat beside Brian, was secretly rejoicing. Brian was so busy fawning over Luke but failed toget what he wanted after being stubborn, huh?
Luca shot a glance at Luke and started a conversation with Brian, "Brian, which college you arestudying now?"
Brian scratched the back of his head embarrassingly and answered, "It's just a normal college, theNational University."
