Chapter 46

Glenn's eyes lit up.

"You agreed?"

"I didn't agree!" Kelvin didn't dare to be too absolute: "I have to ask who is willing to go? If someone is willing, I'll lend them to you."

Glenn's eyes dimmed.

Stanley, who was standing nearby, wanted to say something but thought better of it.

When Kelvin and Glenn came out of the office, they happened to run into Christina, who had just seen someone off.

Christina immediately recognized Glenn and greeted him.

Glenn smiled and praised, "This is the new student you recruited? Looks really good, and you recruit people so quickly."

"You're getting old and still so improper." Kelvin glared at him.

Glenn immediately raised his hand in apology: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't embarrass you in front of your student."

After entering the office, Kelvin began to inquire.

"Glenn has a job from above to restore ancient buildings and lead his team as consultants. Is anyone willing to take it?"

At first, everyone was excited to hear there was a job, but when they heard it was to restore ancient buildings as consultants, no one spoke up.

To avoid leaving Kelvin hanging, someone stood up and said, "We don't have any relevant experience in that area."

"Not much experience is needed." Glenn didn't notice everyone's reluctance and immediately said, "There are professional archaeologists for artifact protection. You just need to provide relevant opinions on the building's load-bearing aspects."

"Doesn't that mean we have to watch over it day and night?"

Glenn nodded: "Yes, it's a bit tough, but it's very fulfilling to contribute to the protection of ancient buildings for the country."

Everyone shook their heads and started making excuses.

"I just started a new case, so I can't leave."

"Me too. I have some free time these days to watch over it, but soon I have to go on a business trip. I can't make the whole team wait for me."

Kelvin knew this would happen and turned his gaze to Bruce.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Bruce's eyes darted around: "I haven't taken a vacation in a long time. I planned to go home and see my mom. She's getting old, and I can't go back on my word and make her sad."

Kelvin sighed.

This group of people with high expectations but low abilities just didn't want to do it because the pay was low.

The national ancient building protection project wouldn't pay much, only a few thousand dollars per project, which couldn't compare to the jobs they took outside.

Although those jobs weren't easy either, the treatment and effort were worlds apart from protecting ancient buildings.

Kelvin didn't really want to agree to lend people, but after agreeing, he couldn't find anyone, which made him a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, two people suddenly spoke in unison.

"I'll go."

Hearing the same voice, Christina looked at Stanley in surprise, not expecting they had the same thought.

Kelvin looked at them.

"Stanley, you just got back from a business trip. That place is very remote, and it might take a long time. You haven't had a good rest yet."

Stanley shook his head: "Mr. Fisher, I just entered this industry not long ago and hope to gain more experience."

"Don't you have a partner looking for you? Why do you want to go? This job is tough." Kelvin looked at Christina, unable to make up his mind.

These two were young under his tutelage. It wasn't that he doubted their abilities, but he was afraid new faces wouldn't be convincing.

"Looks like Senior and I had the same thought." Christina smiled gracefully and said, "We both want to gain more experience."

"The more, the better." Glenn, afraid Kelvin would disagree, finalized the matter: "Young people with a desire to train should be given the chance."

There was no turning back now.

Both had agreed, and Glenn wasn't picky, so Kelvin agreed, deliberately putting on a stern face.

"Alright, you better not mistreat my two students."

Glenn, having settled the matter, was naturally grateful.

"Don't worry, once this is done, I'll treat everyone to a meal as thanks."

Kelvin asked, "When do they leave?"

"Tomorrow. They can't wait over there, so please accommodate." Glenn knew Kelvin was reluctant and spoke nicely.

Kelvin nodded and couldn't help but remind them, "The countryside is very remote. Take more things with you, don't suffer, and make sure to rest and not overwork."

Unexpectedly, Kelvin, a titan in the architecture world, was so considerate.

Christina nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Mr. Fisher."

They saw them off.

Glenn and Kelvin seemed to have something to discuss, so the two didn't follow them out.

Christina felt the situation was a bit dry without saying something, so she smiled and said, "Senior, I have no experience, so please guide me in the future."

"Just help each other." Stanley withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly.

"Calling him 'Senior' so affectionately." Kaitlyn stood at the corner of the hallway, arms crossed, looking at them with jealousy.

When the two looked at her, she snorted and walked over quickly, sizing up Christina.

"You don't look like someone who works in architecture."

"Really? But you can't judge a person by their appearance." Christina smiled faintly.

She could tell that Kelvin's granddaughter was very hostile towards her.

Kaitlyn sneered, "You're so pretty, why do such hard work?"

Besides, Kelvin hadn't taken any students in the past two years. Most architects were over thirty, and there were very few women. A woman appearing among a group of men would certainly cause a stir.

Moreover, Christina was quite attractive.

Kaitlyn looked her up and down again, feeling a strong sense of crisis.

Christina answered sincerely, "I do this because I like it, not for any other reason. What do you like?"

Kaitlyn raised her chin and said without hesitation, "Eating, drinking, and having fun."

Hearing this answer, Christina was genuinely stunned for a moment but still patiently smiled and replied, "Just like your eating, drinking, and having fun, I like this industry, so I do it."

Kaitlyn hadn't thought much of it before, but now, comparing these two dreams, she suddenly felt like she had no ambition or goals.

She didn't want to continue this topic and directly took Stanley's hand.

"Stanley, will you go shopping with me? You've been away on a business trip for so long, and we haven't seen each other in ages. After shopping, I'll treat you to a meal."

Stanley calmly removed her hand and said indifferently, "I have things to do, so I can't go with you. You go by yourself."
