Chapter 018 Chapter 18

"But Mr. Lai, what are your specific requirements for the house? There are many ways to make your parents live comfortably. Use the best things. Do you think it is better, or do your parents think it is better? Good? "

It's important to grasp the standards in the customer's mind.

Lin Yilan has deep feelings about this after working in the industry for so many years.

The payer has its own standards, and the users have their own standards. Even if there is a third party or even a fourth party in the middle, they will put forward other standards.

Seeing that Mr. Lai didn't speak, Lin Yilan spread out his notebook and took the pencil in his hand.

Speaking of which, this book was sewn and stitched by herself. At this time, A6 size blank notebooks are really hard to buy.

"Mr. Lai, since you are still thinking about it, why don't you listen to my views and opinions as a bystander?"

Lai Chengrong's expression was so indifferent that Lin Yilan could not see any emotion. He only nodded lightly.

After receiving the permission, Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, and she gained more confidence in winning this project.

"Mr. Lai, I may want to pour cold water on you. I know you definitely want the best for your parents, but I strongly suggest that you don't do too much on the exterior walls of your house, and try to keep it consistent with the village. A level.

This is for the safety of your parents and other brothers in your family.

"You must have some understanding of the social team in Hong Kong City." Lin Yilan said this meaningfully. .

Lai Chengrong immediately became wary. He stared at Lin Yilan, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yilan explained helplessly: "I'm not saying that the current public security conditions in Beijing are not good. You have done so much business, and your experience in society is better than We, the young people, know that the mainland is in a period of great change, and we also understand that society and people's hearts are prone to big changes at this time. "It

is so noticeable at this time that we have no ability to protect ourselves. "It's not a good thing."

Lin Yilan said this very sincerely.

Although she does not know the specific situation of domestic chaos in the 1980s, she is sure that severe crackdowns will be carried out in the next few years.

The reason for the severe crackdown is largely due to social unrest and instability.

If Mr. Lai had good intentions and wanted his parents to live in a good house, but because of this, his parents were targeted or even harmed by people with malicious intentions, it would be a very uncomfortable tragedy.

After Lai Chengrong understood what Lin Yilan meant, his expression became slightly more serious. "Can you tell me your design ideas?"

"My parents live with my eldest brother now. The house and yard at home should be less than a thousand square meters. Speaking of which, our family has so much land, thanks to Where's my dad?" Lai Chengrong said with a nostalgic expression on his face.

After a while, he sat up straight and looked at Lin Yilan. "Ms. Lin, I see that you are an open-minded person, so let me make things clear to you. I actually don't have many requirements for this house. I really only have one requirement, which is to let my parents live a good old age."

"That's it . It's been many years... I haven't been with my parents, and now I don't seem to know what they need."

Lin Yilan suddenly felt sad when she saw the sad expression on Lai Chengrong's face.

Maybe it’s the empathy of being a child. So she really can't let her family fall into the situation at the end of the novel.

She pondered for a moment, then took the notebook and started scribbling on it.

While Lin Yilan was drawing on the notebook, the roast duck happened to be sliced, and the waiter in the store put the roast duck on the table in front of the four of them.

"The roast duck is ready, please use it."

Aunt Zou looked at the roast duck on the table and resisted the idea of ​​moving her chopsticks. Instead, she glanced at Lin Yilan opposite who didn't know what she was writing, and then looked at the person next to her. Lai Chengrong glanced at him.

Lin Li didn't want to eat that much. He was curiously looking at the house that his Xiao Wu had drawn in his notebook.

Lai Chengrong raised his hand, "Auntie, and this gentleman, please eat first."

Aunt Zou waved her hand restrainedly, "It's okay, this old nephew, let's wait for Xiaolan to eat together."

Lai Chengrong raised his head and faced the man in front of him . The young waiter walking to the kitchen waved, "Waiter! Oh, no, waiter."

Seeing this, the young man walked quickly to Lai Chengrong, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Please prepare another one for the table. I want to buy this roast duck and pack it up. Can you pack it up in your store?" At this point, Lai Chengrong became impatient.

The young man is very discerning and can see through the customer's thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, our store can package it. Sir, if you want to take it away later, why don't I ask the kitchen to package it for you later, so that the duck you package will be better." It's not too cold, do you think that's okay?"

Lai Chengrong saw that the waiter was very smart, so he waved to the young man, took out a big coupon from his wallet and put it in his hand, and then waved for him to leave.

Aunt Zou next to her saw this scene and her eyes widened. She couldn't help but raise her head and wink at Lin Li to signal. Lin Li touched his chin as if he was thinking about something.

After ten minutes of silence and a bit of embarrassment passed at the dinner table, Lin Yilan raised her head and placed the notebook in front of Mr. Lai.

"Mr. Lai, look at this, this is my design sketch. What I drew is just my preference for the design style of your parents' house. The specific design cannot be determined until I go to your parents' house for an on-site inspection."

She handed over the notebook After placing it on the table, the three people on the table all turned their attention to the notebook.

There is a picture of a one-story bungalow in the book. The walls of the house are painted white, and there are traces of ivy climbing on the wall. The window facing it is equipped with large transparent glass, and there is a flowerpot on the window sill. Some unknown flower was planted in it. There are even more flowers in front of the house, giving it an idyllic scene that looks extremely fresh.

In the seemingly ordinary picture, if you look closely, you can see many decorations and structures that only appear in European rural areas.

Lin Yilan picked up the cup on the table and observed Mr. Lai's expression while drinking water. Seeing the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretch out due to relaxation and the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, you knew that he was probably satisfied.

Sure enough, it has a fresh European pastoral flavor, which can impress Mr. Lai, who has lived in the Hong Kong city for more than ten years.

The expressions of the other two people at the table were somewhat interesting.

Aunt Zou obviously did not understand Lin Yilan's sketch. It can be said that she did not see any big difference between the houses in Lin Yilan's paintings and the mud houses in the countryside. She even felt in her heart that the houses Lin Yilan drew were not as good as those she saw when she was a child. The landlord's house is beautiful.

In her mind, her old nephew from the village was roughly equivalent to the landowner she met when she was a child.

Lin Li glanced at Lin Yilan. He was very familiar with Xiao Wu's expression, and he always felt that this design was not that simple.

After reading Lin Yilan's sketch carefully, Lai Chengrong showed a very satisfied smile, "Designer Lin, I like your design style very much. I don't know if you have time the day after tomorrow. I will drive to pick you up. My parents’ house.

Oh, by the way, you can also bring this man with you.”

Aunt Zou glanced at Lin Yilan in surprise, and then quickly retracted her expression. It would be best to settle on Xiaolan. She can also get a sum of money, which is good.

Seeing Lai Chengrong take the initiative to make an appointment, Lin Yilan knew that she was almost stable, "Okay, we just don't have classes on Sunday.

But Mr. Lai, if my design the day after tomorrow makes you feel good, you are ready to hire me as a designer. I hope The two of us can sign a contract."

The word "contract" made Lai Chengrong raise his eyebrows, and he felt more and more that he was looking down on this little girl.

"Of course, that's what I think too."

"I hope we can reach cooperation the day after tomorrow. Miss Lin, come to dinner."

He smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture.

Seeing Lai Chengrong's action, Lin Yilan's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded with a smile, "Please."

After so much effort, Mr. Lai finally put himself in a position where he could cooperate with him. not easy.

During the meal, in order to prevent the situation from getting colder, Lin Yilan racked her brains and kept talking to Lai Chengrong, using the same attitude she had when having dinner with Party A in her previous life.

Lin Yilan didn't even know whether this roast duck was delicious or not.

After eating, Lin Yilan put Lai Chengrong in the car and took her third brother to find a roof and squat down.

Lin Li looked at Lin Yilan, "Have you reached a cooperation with this boss from Hong Kong City?"

Lin Yilan sighed and held her chin, "That's half of it. It's not easy."

The two of them spoke quietly Staring at the road in a daze.

After a while, Lin Li bumped into Xiao Wu next to him, "The design sketch you just drew on the table, are you really planning to build a house like this?"

Lin Yilan looked at her third brother like a fool, "How is that possible!"

"Didn't we always live in the countryside before? Have you ever seen a house like this in the village?"

Lin Li immediately shook his head. How is it possible? Whose yard does not grow vegetables but flowers? Not to mention that the houses in the countryside are built with red bricks, which is good. How can they be painted white casually? There is dust and dirt every day, and the exterior walls will become dirty soon.

Well, there is also such a large piece of transparent glass that is difficult to obtain.

"What are you going to do about Mr. Lai then?"

Lin Yilan looked at the third brother with a smile. He showed a rare innocent expression, "Third brother, you don't really think that Mr. Lai doesn't know, do you? "

What do you mean?" Lin Li's round eyes were filled with clear innocence.

Lin Yilan curled her lips slightly, stood up and stamped her feet, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Lin Li immediately stood up and followed Lin Yilan, "Guess what! Are you interesting in teasing me?"

"By the way, when you come over the day after tomorrow, I will It's not safe for you to go alone."

Lin Yilan put her hands behind her back, "Of course, even if you don't go, I will drag you over."

"If the fourth brother knows, will he be angry? Lin

Li waved his hand, "He has something to do and doesn't have time to be angry with us."

Lin Yilan raised her head and propped her chin on the back of her hand, looking at the sky, recalling the content of her previous chat with Lai Chengrong.

I should be able to win the project the day after tomorrow...right?
