My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 44 So, this thing isn't for people to live in?

weekend.

Xue Lin stretched and yawned; he didn't get up until noon.

It's not that he's lazy.

I just stayed up too late last night.

He suddenly remembered the story of studying by the light of fireflies and snow.

Some people studied diligently by the light of fireflies and snow at night, and were admired for a time.

Upon hearing of this, the county magistrate paid a visit and praised the man highly.

However, he was told that he was not home.

Where did you go?

They went to catch fireflies.

During the day, we catch fireflies, and at night, we read by the light reflected on the snow.

This is actually a somewhat inspiring story.

Xue Lin didn't think much of it. After getting up, he washed up.

Mom yawned and came out of her room.

"Come to the company with me later," Su Nuo said.

Xue Lin nodded. "Okay, but won't they have a problem working on weekends?"

Double pay, extended leave until Monday.

Su Nuo laughed, "You really think Mom's the kind of boss who exploits her employees?"

Xue Lin naturally nodded.

That's it.

Otherwise, if employees come with complaints, they won't learn anything well.

Xue Lin put on a light blue suit.

"My son is so handsome." Su Nuo's eyes lit up.

Xue Lin's eyelids twitched.

He had already seen a lot of useless entries on Su Nuo's site.

For example, "Mommy's good baby," "Baby is so cute," "Baby is great," "Linbao is so handsome," etc.

It's not that it's bad, but it takes up space on his entry!

He wanted to get something useful.

It was out of necessity.

Su Nuo didn't think much of it, and the two of them quickly drove to the company.

Qin Yan had already gathered everyone together early on.

"It's said that Young Master Lin is going to give us some training."

"The minimalist solutions I made last time were all rejected. It's driving me crazy. Nobody understands what minimalism is. Everyone is exploring it, but there's no good framework yet."

"This is difficult!"

Someone sighed.

Clearly, this minimalism is widely accepted.

But you can't just create a minimalist design based on two papers, can you?

What is minimalism?

Lost something?

Did you throw everything away in the house?

Then where would you stay?

They did come up with some proposals, but all of them were rejected.

This inevitably caused them some resentment.

You want to be minimalist, but you don't want what we make!

Okay then, give me your definition of minimalism.

We can just do it this way.

Why bother exploring it yourself?

Moreover, they also know that designers in their price range are basically not designers.

It's for copying and pasting.

Which solution is better? I'll copy it!

Whichever solution is most satisfactory, we'll copy it, modify the dimensions next time, and continue using it.

That's the case for most of them.

They didn't think Xue Lin could come up with anything particularly interesting about minimalism.

Although Xue Lin published two top-tier papers, they were indeed impressed.

"Young Master has arrived."

As soon as someone spoke, everyone's eyes turned towards the doorway.

Even Qin Yan and the others were looking in that direction.

"Young Master."

Qin Yan spoke first.

Xue Lin just smiled.

"Everyone, please sit down, don't stand."

"I'm just here to share some of my thoughts."

Xue Lin smiled.

"it is good."

"Young Master, we have indeed read your paper carefully, but the finished product is more like a work of art than a habitable place!"

"Yes, we've been reading your papers, but we haven't grasped much of what they've taught us."

Some people spoke up helplessly; they had clearly all read those papers.

However, what they realized was not quite the same as what Xue Lin created.

"Please sit down, everyone. I'm here to solve the problem."

Xue Lin just smiled; he was clearly prepared for these people's questions and wasn't surprised.

Let me share some of my explorations.

He sat there, turned on his laptop, and projected the screen over.

"First, let's be clear: minimalism is a work of art."

"To maintain the overall harmony of this space, it's normal to overlook some of the most basic functionalities."

When Xue Lin spoke, the others were also somewhat surprised, as they hadn't expected him to say that.

After all, who would choose to live in a work of art?

"Although this sounds a bit anti-minimalist, I still have to bring it up."

"You can understand it as minimalism not being about the decoration serving people, but about people serving the space."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly. Although they could understand, since they had also explored minimalism to some extent, they still felt a little uncomfortable after it was said so bluntly.

"In fact, minimalism is best suited for uninhabited places, such as laboratories and factories."

"But if it's used as living space, it can actually be done that way too."

"But it needs maintenance, for example, this minimalist space."

Xue Lin found a picture, which was a minimalist spatial image he had created before.

"As we can see, the main color scheme in this space is black, white, and gray. Other colors are a luxury for minimalism, but they are still possible."

"But the effect is not as good as these three color tones."

"As we can see, even if a person enters this space, it will appear extremely out of place."

Everyone was slightly speechless. If it would seem out of place for someone to walk in, then what would be the point of living there?

"Does that mean that minimalism is mostly not for people to live in?"

A little girl raised her hand.

"No, but people are needed to maintain this space. We can see that everything in this space is orderly, and everything best reflects the effect of the materials and space."

Everything was in perfect order.

"They all have their unique utility and practical value."

"Although spending a long time in this space can create a sense of loneliness, some people just like this style."

"Does the young master like it?" a playful girl asked with a smile.

"I don't like it."

Xue Lin simply smiled and shook his head. "But I appreciate this kind of orderly structure."

"Even if you put a rag on the coffee table, it will ruin the overall style. That's why I say people need to pay attention to the structure of the space."

"So I emphasize three points. One is the main color scheme, which is black, white and gray."

"Secondly, people serve this space and need to maintain it meticulously."

"The third is the space itself, which requires embedded components."

"That means hiding those complicated surfaces, hiding them at the very bottom. You can do things like built-in refrigerators and built-in cabinets. These shouldn't be too difficult, right? Although whole-house customization costs a lot of money, the results are still quite impressive."
