Chapter 019 Chapter 19

Pushing open the door of the roast duck restaurant, Lai Chengrong walked next to a young boy.

"Dad, do you really want to find a first-year college girl from the mainland to be responsible for designing grandpa's house?"

"Why don't grandpa and grandma want to go to Hong Kong City? It's really bad here, too backward. Dad, it's not me. They say all the fishing villages in Hong Kong are better than here."

Lai Chengrong put his bag under his arm and put his hands in his pants pockets, "Jia Lin, it's normal for us to respect your grandpa and the others. "

As for your grandpa's house, no matter where it is, I have met with many designers. In my opinion, they have not considered it as well as this inland female college student. She is the only one who proposed not to build a luxurious house." The designer is also the first person to bring up your grandpa's safety. "Of course, if she

can't give me a satisfactory design drawing after the inspection the day after tomorrow, I still won't hire her."

, he stopped, took out a square piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to his youngest son.

"Dad, what is this?" Lai Jialin opened the white paper immediately after taking it. He saw a sketch of a bungalow surrounded by gardens, "Dad, is this the house you want to build for grandpa and his family?"

After waiting for a bicycle to ride by, Lai Chengrong opened his mouth and said, "No, this is What do you think of the sketch the lady drew for me when we were having dinner?"

Lai Jialin had to look at the drawing in his hand again. I don't see anything different. Is it on the back?

After taking a glance at his father's expression, he turned to the back of the painting and looked at it again, even holding the paper up to the sun. No matter how he looked, he didn't see anything special.

"Dad, I don't see anything different."

Lai Chengrong's expression did not change, pointing to Lin Yilan's sketch, "Then what do you think of her design sketch?"

Lai Jialin could only look at Lin Yilan's design sketch again After looking at it, I really couldn't see anything. He shook his head frankly, "Dad, I don't see anything unique. Her painting skills are not very good, and the house she designed feels very ordinary."

"So what am I not seeing?"

Lai Chengrong stopped. Stepping forward, he took Lin Yilan's design sketch from Lai Jialin's hand. "Do you know under what circumstances the Mi Si Lin drew this design sketch for me?"

Looking at his youngest son's expression, Lai Chengrong told him the situation at the time, "I didn't say anything about the specific design I wanted. I didn’t say what I wanted to design it to look like, nor did I say how big the land was. I didn’t say anything about the specifics of the house.

She and I had met and chatted for less than an hour.

"Jia Lin, when you first saw this design, you thought it was ordinary. It didn't look ugly or beautiful, but it just felt backward, right?"

He looked at Lai Jialin and nodded . Lai Chengrong continued: "If you have done some homework on design, you will find that it is very difficult to make this design sketch just feel ordinary to you."

"A mainland lady under twenty years old, for I'm afraid her vision of the outside world is far less than that of your ten-year-old cousin, but she can draw designs that we think are ordinary and even beyond our expectations. What does this mean?"

Seeing his youngest son about to speak, Lai Chengrong patted her. His shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.

"It shows that she is very sincere and has a good attitude. You want to say this, right?"

"But in my opinion, not only does she have a good attitude, this design sketch also shows that her design level is at least not bad. What surprised me the most "Do you know what it is?"

Lai Jialin knew that his father was taking the opportunity to educate him, so he kept quiet and continued to listen.

"She was able to accurately grasp what people like me like, and then combined it with the actual situation of your grandpa's family to create a design that is closest to reality but cannot be completed."

"Mislin is really interesting -"

After Lai Chengrong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of Lin Yilan, "This Buddhist priest will definitely achieve great results in the future."

Lai Jialin took the design sketch and stared at it for a long time, but found nothing. figure it out.

Until the two returned to the hotel, Lai Jialin didn't see what his father said.

In desperation, he had no choice but to run to the door of his father's room and knock on the door, "Dad, it's me, Jialin."

Lai Chengrong opened the door and saw the design drawing in his youngest son's hand, looking at him with a longing expression. I suddenly had a headache. "Come in."

After getting his father's permission, Lai Jialin stumbled into his father's room and listened to his father carefully explain the things on the design to him.

The two sat at the desk in the room. Lai Jialin took a boiling kettle and made Lai Chengrong a cup of tea.

As the boiling water brews the fried tea leaves, the fragrance of the tea leaves immediately spreads in the room with the heat.

Smelling the aroma of tea leaves, Lai Chengrong pointed out the European pastoral style design in Lin Yilan's design sketch, and then explained the reasons why this design could not be implemented.

Lai Chengrong shook the cup in his hand and took a sip of the tea that was just right in temperature and taste.

"The appearance of Mislin made me more determined about one thing. Jialin, do you know what it is?"

"It's strange to say that I met the designer who designed the house for your grandpa, but it convinced me to invest and do business in the inland. Determination."

Lai Jialin exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, don't you think about it again? You don't know that the mainland only allowed individuals to do business last year. I don't think there are many people who dare to do business on their streets now. Big companies are all controlled by the state.

Dad, I'm not afraid that my family's money will be wasted. I'm afraid that something will happen to you..."

Lai Chengrong felt very good about his concern for his youngest son. He gently touched the cup. He took a deep breath and said, "Jia Lin, I'm not investing now. Whether you're doing things or doing business, you have to be patient and don't be anxious."

"Your dad is the reason why I built a family business so quickly in Hong Kong City. , I am patient and wait for the best opportunity to seize the opportunity that suits me best. "

Because I know very well that once the opportunity is missed, it will be gone." He held up the tea cup in his hand and looked at his younger son with a smile.

"What's the matter with the Mithrine?" Lai Jialin curled his lips, not convinced.

Lai Chengrong put down the cup in his hand, "Because of Mislin, I got a glimpse of the abilities of inland college students. If all college students in the inland can be as good as Mislin, the inland won't be too bad."

"In this way, Jia Lin, Why don't we go to the best universities in the mainland tomorrow, so that you, a college student, can feel the difference between college students on both sides of the Taiwan Strait? How about you help dad find out what the college students in the mainland are like?"

Lai Jialin thought for a while. nodded.

-Lin

Yilan had no idea that under her influence, someone was determined to invest in the mainland because of her.

After meeting Lai Chengrong, she returned to school to continue her studies.

"Okay, that's it for this class. Class is over."

After hearing the professor on the stage announcing that class was over, Lin Yilan closed her textbook, packed her bag, and prepared to go to the library.

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan." Seeing Lin Yilan's back, Xiong Zhaodi called her out loudly.

Lin Yilan stopped and waited for Xiong Zhaodi who was packing her things.

When Xiong Zhaodi finished packing her things and ran to her side, Lin Yilan said, "What's wrong? You're so anxious, our monitor comrade."

Xiong Zhaodi bumped into Lin Yilan, "Why didn't I see that you really liked me before? I'm kidding."

"By the way, I have something to ask you, Xiaolan, do you have time later?"

Lin Yilan glanced at her sleeve that was being pulled by her, and nodded, "I have time today. It's nothing."

After watching Xiong Zhaodi pull her to a place where no one was around and then stop, Lin Yilan guessed that her roommate had something to say that she was embarrassed to say, and she probably still wanted her help.

She glanced at Xiong Zhaodi, who was squirming and rubbing the hem of her clothes, and said in a funny way: "Comrade Xiong Zhaodi, as roommates and classmates, you should know what kind of person I am. So don't worry, you are here today. I will keep the things you tell me secret and never let others know."

After saying that, she put her hand to her mouth and made a zipper motion.

"Xiaolan, please don't say that. I know very well what kind of person you are." Xiong Zhaodi bit her lower lip and took a deep breath, "Actually, I wanted to ask you for help before, but it seems You've been very busy, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"I finally have time today."

Lin Yilan looked at Xiong Zhaodi and blinked her eyes hard.

"That's it -" Xiong Zhaodi gasped, "I would like to ask if you can recommend some books to me that can basically improve my drawing skills?"

She thought it was something, but Lin Yilan nodded and pointed in the direction of the library, " Do you want me to take you to the library now, or do you want me to write down the title of the book for you?"

Xiong Zhaodi touched the back of her head, "Write it for me."

"Actually, I want to ask you how to improve your design. level." She stood up straight and looked at Lin Yilan, "Xiaolan, to tell you the truth, after taking this class, I found that I am probably the one with the worst design skills in our class."

"Although before I came here, I knew that going to college was not easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Not only do you have to study hard, but you also have to learn to draw. I have never learned to draw in the past 20 years.

The professor recommended us to go there before. I also borrowed the architect's portfolio that I read, but after reading it, I didn't feel anything at all. "

"But I think students Ji can speak clearly and clearly. Xiaolan, you said I have been studying for five years. , will you really do design after graduation?"

Lin Yilan saw the melancholy expression on Xiong Zhaodi's face, and she understood it very well. She patted Xiong Zhaodi on the shoulder, "Sister Zhaodi, do you believe me?"
