The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Liu Xiaoke took a deep breath, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning. He decided to give it a try! "You two, I am not talented enough, but I would like to offer a bold plan that may be able to solve the current predicament."

A Yao looked at him curiously with her beautiful eyes, while Hu Zhe raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing that a strange young man could have any tricks.

"Tell me about it." Hu Zhe flipped through the drawings casually, seemingly without any hope.

"My idea is that we can build the floating bridge in sections, just like building blocks. We can first construct each section on land, then use machinery and manpower to transport them to the water, and finally piece them together." Liu Xiaoke became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see a majestic floating bridge standing tall on Qingfeng Ferry. "This way, not only can we shorten the construction period, but many problems in the production process can also be discovered early. After all, construction on land is much safer than on water, and it is easier to control quality."

"What?!" Hu Zhe stood up suddenly, his beard almost standing up. "Are you kidding me? Taking a perfectly good floating bridge apart and then putting it back together again? Do you think this is a child's play?"

A Yao also frowned slightly. This idea was indeed bold, even a little unorthodox, but she felt in her heart that Liu Xiaoke's proposal was not a fantasy, but rather contained a power to turn decay into magic.

"Brother Hu, don't be so quick to deny it. Let me explain it in detail." Liu Xiaoke was not intimidated by Hu Zhe's anger. He pointed to the blueprint and talked freely, "Look, we can divide the floating bridge into several modules of appropriate lengths. Each module uses a mortise and tenon structure to ensure its firmness. Then build a slightly larger platform on the shore, use rollers and pulleys to transport these modules into the water, and finally splice and fix them in the predetermined position. In this way, not only will the construction efficiency be greatly improved, but safety can also be guaranteed, and material waste and rework can be effectively avoided."

Although Liu Xiaoke's voice was not loud, it was full of confidence and strength, and every word struck Hu Zhe's heartstrings. He had to admit that although the young man's idea was bold, it was not whimsical, but rather had convincing feasibility.

"But..." Hu Zhe was still a little hesitant, "This method is unheard of. If it fails, we can't bear the responsibility!"

"Hu Zhe, I have complete confidence in Liu Xiaoke! If you agree, I will immediately take Xiaoke to meet with the dean and present his plan." A Yao suddenly spoke, her clear voice as melodious as a silver bell. "Since he dared to propose this plan, he must have a plan in mind. Besides, instead of discussing it here with no clue, it's better to let Xiaoke give it a try. Besides, his concept and plan are not completely unfeasible. On the contrary, it is built on comprehensive design and calculations, fully integrating buoyancy and water flow dynamics. I fully support Xiaoke."

A Yao's words were full of trust and encouragement. Her eyes were firm and clear, like a clear spring, washing away the doubts in Hu Zhe's heart and boosting Xiao Ke's confidence.

"This..." Hu Zhe looked at the confident Liu Xiaoke, then at A Yao who was firmly supportive, and hesitated for a moment.

He knew that time was running out, but if he hesitated any longer, he might really miss out on something important.

"Okay! I promise you!" Hu Zhe finally made up his mind and slammed his palm on the table, shaking the teacup so much that it jumped up. "I'll do as you say! But, you have to promise me that if anything goes wrong with this floating bridge, I will not let you go first!"

Liu Xiaoke smiled faintly, knowing he'd won the bet. "Don't worry, Brother Hu! I guarantee with my life that this floating bridge will be completed on schedule, and it will be even more durable than the original design!"

"Okay! Little brother, you have the courage. In that case, let A Yao take you to meet the dean! Report your plan to her in detail!" Hu Zhe laughed and patted Liu Xiaoke's shoulder hard.

The three of them emerged from the tent, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a shadow over them, as if draping them in a layer of golden armor. Liu Xiaoke gazed at the magnificent Qingfeng Ferry, his heart filled with lofty ambition. He knew a greater challenge awaited him, but he was ready to face whatever trials and tribulations lay ahead.

"The dean is just ahead. You must be mentally prepared. She is not an ordinary person." A Yao reminded as they walked, with a barely perceptible nervousness in her tone.

A Yao and Liu Xiaoke came to Zhaoyin Academy together.

Liu Xiaoke nodded. He had heard of the legendary story about the dean of Zhaoyin Academy. It was said that she was talented, smart and capable, but she behaved strangely, had jumping thoughts and was serious (he didn't know how the story got spread outside, but even Cen Jiexiao had a very low sense of humor. She would laugh even when she saw a cat poop every day, and she was serious). It was not easy to gain her approval.

After passing through a bamboo forest, a simple and plain courtyard appears before your eyes. The courtyard is shaded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and it is as peaceful and tranquil as an ordinary farmhouse.

"It's here, Xiaoke. This study is the dean's private residence, and students are usually not allowed to enter without notice. Teacher Wu Cheng, the person in charge of the floating bridge project, has made arrangements for us in advance, and the dean also appreciates your idea very much. So, Xiaoke, I hope you can seize this opportunity." A Yao stopped, his eyes full of expectation and hope, staring at Liu Xiaoke intently.

"Ayao, don't worry, I will definitely tell you what I know, what I can achieve, and do everything within my ability, and I will act based on facts and calculations. Ayao, do you still remember what Master Wang once said to us?" Ayao shook his cute little head, indicating that he could no longer remember clearly.

Liu Xiaoke said to A Yao with a smile: "Numbers will not lie, nor can they be falsified." When he said this, he seemed to be expressing his own beliefs and original intentions, because true is true, false is false, and true and false can never exist at the same time.

"Xiao Ke, you are still the same as before, persistent, serious, and stubborn. Come on, I'll take you in." A Yao said to Liu Xiaoke in a teasing and caring tone.

A woman in plain clothes was sitting at a stone table with her back to them, writing and drawing.

"Dean, I've brought the person here." A Yao said respectfully.

The woman slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful and ethereal face, picturesque eyebrows, skin whiter than snow, and a pair of clear and bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
