Chapter 017 Chapter 17

By mid-October, Aunt Zou finally decided on a meeting time with Lin Yilan.

On this day, Lin Yilan called her third brother Lin Li, who had no classes, to accompany her.

She still has a certain understanding of the social security situation at this time. If nothing else, safety comes first.

Lin Li waited at the main entrance of the University of Technology for ten minutes when he saw Xiao Wu hurriedly running out of the school gate, "Xiao Wu, I'm here."

Lin Yilan tugged on the bag strap on her shoulder and waved at her third brother Waved, "Third brother!"

After the two met, she took the third brother to the roast duck restaurant.

"You called before and said you wanted me to accompany you to meet a client. What client?" Lin Li opened his mouth and asked.

Lin Yilan naturally guessed that her third brother would ask this. Considering that she was worried about the phone bill at that time, she had to briefly explain what happened today. Now is the time to explain clearly the cooperation with Aunt Zou during this period.

"...That's it. The person I want to take you to meet today is Aunt Zou's old nephew, who is also a client I plan to win over."

Lin Li didn't have anything to say about her idea of ​​making money, but was just worried about something. "Xiaowu, I remember that you have only been in college for less than two months. Are you sure that your current level is enough to design for others?"

He did not say the next words, but hesitantly said Look at her. After all, when brothers and sisters are in a relationship, everyone should give them some face.

Lin Yilan naturally felt her third brother's suspicious gaze, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Third brother, do you think I'm the kind of person who just does things when I'm not sure of my abilities?

I think I should be better than You and fourth brother should be more reliable." She gave her third brother a look and let him figure it out for himself.

Although she can be a bit aggressive sometimes, she is still very reliable.

His little sister's words secretly teased him and his fourth brother, but he had no intention of resisting at all. When she said this when he was a child, he resisted for a while. Later, he was educated by her and he naturally recognized the reality.

Speaking of which, they are so determined to choose majors related to economics and finance. The reasons are more or less related to their little sister.

Lin Li thought for a while and didn't plan to say anything more. They were all adults and didn't need too many instructions from others about what they did. As an older brother, his greatest help is to help his brothers and sisters when they need him. Just like Xiao Wu never said anything about the small business he and Lao Si were doing.

After the two of them made two turns in the alley, they entered an extremely lively market from a quiet place.

Lin Li was a little surprised. He glanced at Lin Yilan several times. It was hard to imagine that the immobile Xiao Wu of their family could find this place.

Lin Yilan saw his look and explained: "This place seems to have been a lively small market in Beijing many years ago. At that time, many people here were engaged in food business."

"The place you found? No. , it should have been discovered by your classmates." Lin Li nodded with a very sure tone.

Lin Yilan hummed a few times, "You are the smart one."

She counted the number of stores, and after reaching the eighth store, she walked to the door of a courtyard and stopped. When she saw the word "roast duck" hanging on the door of the courtyard, she lightly Gently opened the door.

"Welcome." A young man wearing a gray-blue shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his arms walked up to the two of them.

"Please come in, please. How many guests do you have in total?"

Lin Yilan glanced inside, "There are four of us, but two of us should have arrived early. Her surname is Zou."

The young man smiled even brighter, "I I know, Ms. Zou is already here, I'll take you there."

Although Lin Yilan had eaten here before, she didn't expect that there would be more customers at the roast duck restaurant than last time, and the atmosphere would be more lively.

Thinking of the increasingly open policies, Lin Yilan doesn't feel strange at all, but she is still shocked by the rapid development of this era.

Passing through two tables, turned a corner, and entered a quieter environment than the lobby.

After seeing a few bamboo trees planted in the yard through the window, Lin Yilan saw Aunt Zou.

"Aunt Zou, I'm here." She immediately greeted Party A's father with the same enthusiasm she had in her previous life. Of course, she also took the opportunity to glance at the middle-aged man sitting next to Aunt Zou.

He was wearing a watch on his hand and a blue short-sleeved shirt, but the material looked like it was not something that could be bought on the streets in the mainland at this time, and his expression was a little cold.

Aunt Zou immediately stepped forward and introduced Lin Yilan to the people next to her, "Nephew, this is the Comrade Lin Yilan I told you about before. Her family is amazing. There are seven people in the family, six of whom are college students. She is one of them, and she is currently studying at the University of Technology not far away, studying house design."

Lin Yilan, who was standing next to her, immediately took it out of her bag after seeing the suspicious look in the eyes of the old nephew mentioned by Aunt Zou . Get your student ID card.

"Hello, sir, I am Lin Yilan. I don't have anything else with me to prove my identity. This is my ID card."

Aunt Zou's old nephew was stunned when he saw the student ID card, took it and opened it. After taking a look, his expression softened slightly, but he still did not stand up, "Well, hello, Miss Lin, I am Lai Chengrong."

Lin Yilan smiled and greeted again, "Hello, Mr. Lai."

Lai Chengrong raised his hand, "Miss Lin, you and the gentleman next to you sit down first."

After Lin Yilan and Lin Li sat down, Lai Chengrong began to speak.

"Ms. Lin, I won't be polite to you anymore. If it weren't for my aunt's sake, I wouldn't come to see you today. After all, you are only a first-year college student in the Department of Architecture. I miss you. You know."

When Lin Li heard this, his expression immediately turned cold. He wanted to say something, but he took a look at his Xiaowu's expression and held back.

Aunt Zou opposite felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Yilan's expression did not change at all. She just patted her third brother's arm comfortingly. As for herself, her heart was the same as her appearance, and she did not have the slightest fluctuation because of this Mr. Lai.

In fact, while waiting for Aunt Zou's call for half a month, Lin Yilan guessed that there was probably a change in this matter. Her reputation as a college student would still be bluffing to people in the Mainland, but to someone who dared to swim and run to Hong Kong City, and who seemed to have made a career in Hong Kong City over the years, she would only be considered ordinary and even a little funny. .

When he saw that the little girl opposite him did not show any embarrassment because of his words, and even her previous smile did not change, Lai Chengrong's evaluation of Lin Yilan increased by 10% in his heart.

"Ms. Lin, don't think my words are unpleasant. It seems to me that you don't know anything."

She had never heard any unpleasant words in order to do projects before. She looked serious and nodded, "Mr. Lai, since you are here, why not also talk to me about your design ideas for your parents' house.

As the saying goes, business cannot be done without kindness, and I am shameless to praise myself. Just in case my idea can make your parents’ house better, it’s not a complete waste of your time.”

Lai Chengrong looked up at Lin Yilan for a while, with an unpredictable expression, and then laughed, "Okay. But I also told you in advance that even if I adopt your design idea, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you anything.

" , Lin Yilan naturally knows. For designers, sometimes in order to build a good relationship with customers, it is very common to let customers "purchase" their design ideas.

Seeing that Lin Yilan's attitude was quite sincere, Lai Chengrong slowly talked about the house he planned to build for his parents.

"Originally, I wanted to take my parents to live in Hong Kong City with me, but my parents rejected my proposal. I wonder if you young people can understand the stubbornness of the older generation and their unwillingness to let them live a good life.

Really...so I just want to build a house in my hometown to make their life here as good as possible."

"Actually, my design requirements for the house are very simple. I can spend more money, but it must be used by my parents. The best things, the most comfortable life.

Especially those who looked down on our family in the past, look at how I, Lai Chengrong, have made my parents live a good life."

"I don't know what Miss Lin's design for this house is. What do you think?"

Lin Yilan was not surprised at all when she heard his request. In her previous life, she had seen many requests from clients who had suddenly become rich when building a house. Most of them were similar to Mr. Lai's. She didn't know what they wanted specifically, but it was Want the best. And there is another point that is the same as Mr. Lai, not to mention specific design requirements.

She first took out a notebook and pencil from her schoolbag, and then calmly summarized Mr. Lai's request, "I am also a child, so naturally I understand Mr. Lai's approach very well. If I make money, I also have to let my parents live a good life. "

"But I also understand the thoughts of your parents, Mr. Lai. As people get older, they naturally want to be surrounded by people they know and an environment they are familiar with, so that they can feel comfortable. " It's safe."

"So I very much agree with Mr. Lai's approach of building a house for his parents in the village."

At this time, Lai Chengrong was very satisfied with Lin Yilan.

Although I don’t know how good this mainland college student’s design skills are, his speaking skills are still very good. Lai Chengrong felt unhappy when he thought about the opposition from the people in the village and his brothers at home after he proposed to build a house for his parents.

Instead of going to Hong Kong City to live a good life, he took a step back and paid for them to build a house in the village. There were so many other things, it was really boring.

Isn't it just that he is afraid that the youngest son will do better than the eldest and second eldest son? Isn't it that the villagers are afraid that the family of their family, who is last in life, will do better than the families of their secretaries and directors.

Lin Yilan could see Lai Chengrong's satisfaction and pride, but instead of continuing to flatter him, she changed the subject.
