Chapter 059 Chapter 80, 81, 82 (Three and One)

"Madam, this is your seat." The flight attendant in green uniform stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of Lin Yilan's seat.

Lin Yilan thanked her and walked to the row of seats with her luggage bag in hand.

After she put her luggage on the storage rack, she sat sideways and sat in the innermost position.

She held her chin up and looked at the concrete floor of the airport outside the plane window, recalling the process of her boarding.

Being able to get on a plane in 1981, it seems that she has surpassed 90% of the country and belongs to the most fashionable group.

The interior decoration of the aircraft was also very different from what she had seen before. Although it was not as beautiful as the later ones, the seats were much more spacious, and there was an openable iron clip ashtray next to the armrest.

Yes, you can still smoke on airplanes now.

The thought that someone might be smoking in the cabin later made her feel bad.

People who already suffer from motion sickness will not suffer from motion sickness now.

Before taking off, the air-conditioning was not turned on on the plane. Xiaolin, who was smart, put on her new big cotton-padded jacket before boarding the plane.

When she went abroad this time, she brought all the new clothes she had made this winter.

In order to go abroad and not embarrass her country, she even spent a lot of money to make a new set of clothes.

Not only do they want to leave a good impression on customers, but they also don’t want foreigners to think that the people in their country are shabby.

Thinking of this, he sighed quietly.

"Hello?" The passenger next to him came over at some point and waved hello to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan turned her head and saw a very beautiful and fashionable girl with long curly wool hair. She also wore light makeup on her face and could vaguely smell the scent of perfume.

"Hello."

After the pretty girl put her luggage away, she sat next to her and skillfully asked the flight attendant for a magazine.

Neither of them spoke after saying hello.

After a while, the beautiful girl said, "Are you going to the UK too?"

Lin Yilan turned her eyes from the plane window to the person next to her, "No, I'm going to Denmark and transferring in the UK."

Speaking of this, she said upset.

When she made an appointment with the project team before, she was completely unaware that there were very few domestic and international flights, and there were very few direct flights to Denmark.

In order to arrive on time, she asked the son of her grandfather's comrade who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help, bought a ticket to fly to the UK, and then transferred to Denmark in the UK.

The pretty girl looked at her deeply and felt that she was not simple.

"Then have you bought a flight ticket from the UK to Denmark?"

Lin Yilan shrugged, "No, how can I buy a flight ticket to the UK in China?"

"You can find someone who helps you buy a flight ticket to the UK, and then buy it from the UK A flight to Denmark. Otherwise, wouldn't you be scared if you were a girl in the UK?" the beautiful businesswoman said pointedly.

Lin Yilan shook her head and didn't explain anything.

She knew that Uncle Liu might be able to help when buying a flight ticket from China to the UK, but if she wanted to buy a flight ticket from the UK to Denmark, Uncle Liu would have to ask a colleague in the UK for help.

According to what she learned, although Uncle Liu was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he didn't seem to have stayed in Europe for a long time. If he wanted to find someone else, she would owe him a lot of favors.

Forget it, if you can't afford the favor, you can solve it yourself first.

The two became quiet again and did not speak.

This time Lin Yilan closed her eyes, and the girl next to her also got the magazine, and the two stopped chatting.

The plane soon arrived and was about to take off. Lin Yilan fastened her seat belt as instructed.

Soon, the plane took off.

After completing the climb and entering the level flight stage, Lin Yilan unbuckled her seat belt.

The air conditioner above the luggage rack was turned on, spraying out a light white mist.

It was also at this time that she discovered that there were not many passengers on the plane.

There were already very few seats, but they were not full yet.

The flight attendant also began to push the trolley to deliver newspapers. After delivering the newspapers, he began to deliver tea and snacks, and then souvenirs.

Lin Yilan looked at the pile of things in front of her and suddenly felt that this flight was quite rewarding.

She took off during the day, and by the time she approached England, it was already night.

Not knowing the temperature in the UK at night, Lin Yilan still put on her large cotton-padded jacket.

When she got up to get off the plane, she seemed to hear a man's sneer behind her.

Lin Yilan turned around and saw a man wearing a suit with thick mousse on his hair. The mousse was so thick that she felt that even cutting off the hair could be used as a sharp weapon to stab someone.

She looked at the person who seemed to be laughing at her, rolled her eyes, deliberately made a disdainful expression, then turned around and continued walking forward.

The beautiful girl standing next to Lin Yilan saw this scene and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

After getting off the plane, Lin Yilan looked at the brightly lit Heathrow Airport and felt like she was in a trance.

It seems that there is not much difference between it 40 years ago and 40 years later.

That was what I was thinking, but after entering the terminal, I found that there really was no difference between the airports. At most, they just looked a bit old.

"Do you need me to take you to the place where you can buy tickets?" The beautiful girl was carrying her luggage and looking at Lin Yilan in a daze.

Lin Yilan held her passport and shook her head, "Thank you, no need. It feels like it's getting late, so you should hurry up and go where you want to go."

Seeing this, the pretty girl said nothing more to help, "Then I'll leave first. See you again when you have a chance, bye."

Lin Yilan waved, "Bye bye."

After the beautiful girl left, she stood looking at all kinds of people in the airport. After a while, she moved towards the airport to buy tickets. Walk somewhere.

After showing her passport and indicating where she was going, the conductor looked at her suspiciously for a long time before selling her the ticket.

After Lin Yilan got the ticket, she rolled her eyes at the conductor in a bad temper before leaving the counter.

Hey, she realized how anyone could laugh at her now that she was in a foreign country. She really regarded her as someone easy to bully.

Cursing in her heart but still trying to keep a smile on her face, she took off her cotton-padded jacket, hugged her luggage, sat in the terminal and started waiting again.

Forty minutes before boarding the plane, Lin Yilan took her luggage and went to the bathroom.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, she successfully changed her clothes.

Standing in front of the makeup mirror, she combed her hair again and checked her appearance.

A camel-colored double-sided cashmere pea coat, worn with a black wool sweater, exposed the collar of a white shirt, and underneath he wore a thick warm sweater that no one could see.

He was wearing a pair of black trousers and black leather boots.

This outfit is already the best one she has found in China that is both warm and reasonably priced.

Maybe it's not fashionable, but it just doesn't look ugly.

Lin Yilan washed her face, wiped her face and hands, then took her luggage bag and prepared to board the plane.

Taking a night flight, although she could see some night views of the city, Lin Yilan was not interested at all. She got on the plane and fell asleep.

It was already three or four o'clock in the middle of the night when she arrived at Kastrup Airport in the Danish capital. She came out after customs inspection and officially stepped on the soil of Copenhagen at five o'clock in the morning.

In order to reach the SJT town where she was going, she had to go to the train station and take a train.

When she arrived at the train station and bought the ticket, she was already half dead.

"Help, why do you have to take the train for several hours?"

"Forget it, life is not easy, money is hard to make, shit tastes bad! I can't bear it."

Holding the train ticket, sitting in the waiting hall, Lin Yilan couldn't bear it. He kept cursing.

Finally, two hours before lunch, she arrived at SJT town.

After getting off the bus, she carried her luggage bag and saw a man holding a sign with his name standing at the exit.

The name on the sign is still written in Chinese, but it's just like a ghost painting. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was some kind of maze formed by lines.

She walked up and said hello to the person holding the sign through the railing, "Hello, I'm Lin Yilan."

The white guy holding the sign immediately put down the sign and held her hand. He said excitedly: "Hello, Miss Lin, welcome to our SJT town."

After saying that, he took out his work ID from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan took a look and saw that he was indeed someone working for the town government.

When she came out of the railing and walked to the white man, he suddenly took out something and pulled hard.

"Pa—"

Lin Yilan froze in fright, and then felt colorful confetti falling from her head.

"Welcome, Miss Lin!"

The white guy put the sign under his arm and clapped like a seal.

"We have been waiting for you, looking forward to you, and you are finally here!"

Lin Yilan smiled dryly and nodded. Didn't he say that Northern Europe is full of social terror, why are you so enthusiastic.

"Thank you, thank you."

The white guy stepped forward and took her duffel bag from her hand, and then started to guide Lin Yilan.

"Ms. Lin, do you want to go to the hotel first, or do you want to eat first? Or do you want to visit our town?"

As he spoke, he put Lin Yilan's luggage bag in the trunk.

Lin Yilan got into the car, "I want to go to the hotel to rest for a while, and then go to your town government in the afternoon to discuss the project, okay?"

The white guy gave a thumbs up, "They say people in your country are hard-working. It seems like it is."

"Then I'll take you to the hotel first, and then I'll call the mayor to tell you about your next arrangements."

He said as he took out a map from the drawer in front of the passenger seat and handed it to him. Lin Yilan said, "This is a map of our town. If you want to go out and play, you can look at the map."

"By the way, we are responsible for the hotel and accommodation. Miss Lin can enjoy it as much as she wants in our SJT town. . "

After that, he winked at Lin Yilan~

Lin Yilan was not a social terror at first, but her hands and feet became stiff under such a high-intensity impact.

She could only smile gratefully, "Thank you."

The white guy stepped on the accelerator, "Let's go!"

Lin Yilan put her hand on the window, looked at the sun outside, and relaxed slightly. tone.

In the next few days, Lin Yilan followed the team responsible for the SJT Town Sailor Center project and the local architectural firm in an office of the town government to discuss modifications to the design drawing of the Sailor Center.

At noon that day, after the morning meeting, Lin Yilan took advantage of the sun to come out, took her lunch, and sat outside to bask in the sun.

After sitting down on a stool on the roadside, she tore open the packaging of the sandwich in her hand.

I have been eating oat milk and sandwiches for three days in a row. It can be said that apart from sandwiches, there is really nothing else that tastes good.

It’s not that there aren’t any other meals, but it’s during working hours at noon and there’s no takeout, so going to the restaurant to eat is too time-consuming.

"Want to eat meatballs?" A familiar voice came from behind her.

Lin Yilan looked back and saw a male engineer in his thirties working with her from the local architectural firm they had hired.

"No need, I'll be full with a sandwich."

The male engineer nodded, stood next to her and ate his lunch.

Seeing this, she moved to the side of the stool, leaving a large space for him.

"Then I'll take a seat?" The male engineer looked down at Lin Yilan.

She nodded and continued stuffing the sandwich into her mouth.

After the male engineer swallowed the meatballs in his mouth, he suddenly spoke, "Lin, how did you come up with the design of the Mariner Center?"

Lin Yilan turned to look at him and said simply: "I suddenly felt inspired.

The male engineer shook his head, somewhat disbelieving, "I'm curious how you made such a design in an environment like your country. Your design is very breakthrough and unique, and is what most architects are pursuing now. " The styles are all different."

"Thank you."

After hearing others complimenting herself, she thanked her and continued eating the sandwich in her hand.

The male engineer turned to look at Lin Yilan, "How can people like you live well in such a harsh environment like yours? Are you happy?"

"As far as I know, the income in your country is also very low now. How much money can you make in a day?" , Not even a big tip for one service.”

“It’s a waste of your talent if you continue to stay in your country, Lin. You should cherish your talent and talent in architecture. Are you interested in joining our architectural office?” Come?"

Lin Yilan almost choked on the sandwich in her mouth. She took a big sip of oat milk before she recovered.

"No, I love my country very much. I feel that I have always been quite happy."

"Thank you for the invitation. I am not interested in working in your architectural firm for the time being.

And I don't feel that I am wasting my time in our country. Talent, on the contrary, I feel that my country’s architectural design will be more promising in the future.”

She told the engineer her true thoughts clearly.

I'm really not interested. If I don't make an appointment, she won't come.

The male engineer frowned, looked around, and then whispered: "Is someone monitoring you here? If you have other intentions, you can secretly pass the note to me while working. "

When Lin Yilan saw him approaching, she quickly leaned back and said, "If your country doesn't send people to monitor me, then no one will monitor me."

She stuffed the rest of the sandwich into her mouth and drank all the remaining oat milk in one gulp. She immediately got up from the bench and threw the trash into the trash can.

After Lin Yilan left, the male engineer who was sitting on the bench eating meatballs was still eating his fried meatballs one bite at a time.

After a while, a man in a black coat walked up to the male engineer and said, "How is it? Has she accepted the invitation from our architectural firm?"

The male engineer shook his head, "No, I will convey your intention to her. She refused, and she seemed to have no interest in staying in Denmark."

The man in the black coat sighed regretfully, "Okay, I understand."

"She is very talented, but our firm must. Do you need her so much?" the male engineer asked with some confusion.

The man in the black coat looked into the distance, "Isn't talent enough?"

"Okay, I'm leaving. Then you try your best." After that, he turned and left.

The engineer looked at the other person's back and stuffed the last meatball into his mouth.

Okay, it's because he doesn't understand what these architects are thinking.

After Lin Yilan returned to the office, she took out the sketchbook she had brought with her from her bag.

She took a deep breath, took her notebook, and found the office of the project leader.

As far as she knew, the person in charge seemed to be the secretary of the town mayor, or some similar position. Anyway, she didn't know it clearly because of Denmark's administrative system. She only knew that the person in charge had a very close relationship with the mayor.

"Dong dong dong -"

"Hello, sir, I'm Lin Yilan." She stood at the door of the office, holding her notebook.

After a while, a voice came from the office, "Come in, Miss Lin."

When the office door was opened, the dark red carpet was in sight, which should be quite expensive.

Then there are the piles of documents on the desk.

Lin Yilan stood at the door and did not enter easily. She pointed to the other party's desk, "Is it convenient for me to go in?"

The person in charge stood up and nodded, "Of course, don't worry, there is nothing on my desk that cannot be seen."

"If there is anything . If you do, I won't let you in." He also joked, pointing to the stool opposite him, "Please sit down."

After Lin Yilan entered the office, she sat down.

After a while, the person in charge placed a cup of tea in front of Lin Yilan.

"This is the tea I bought in a Chinese store before."

She took the tea cup, took a sip, and put it in front of herself.

After the person in charge opposite sat down, she took out her notebook and turned to the page about the interior design she had done for the Sailor Center.

"Aaron, this is the interior design style drawing I made for the Sailor Center. Please take a look."

The person in charge raised his eyebrows and took the book she handed, "When did you design it? Why don't I know anything about it? " I know. How many surprises have you hidden?"

Lin Yilan shrugged, "This is the last thing I have. In the past few days, I saw that the design of the Mariner Center was almost finalized, so I thought of getting this interior design. "Let me ask you what you think about the interior decoration of the Sailor Center."

The person in charge looked up at her and said with a smile, "I don't think this is your last surprise. You have given us too many surprises after being here for so many days." "

You are simply a treasure girl."

Why is the adjective "treasure girl" so funny?

Forget it, this word still doesn’t have the meaning in later generations of the Internet.

Lin Yilan picked up the teacup and drank slowly.

The interior decoration design style of the Mariner Center is in line with the submitted architectural design, making the interior and exterior styles harmonious.

To this end, when she went back to rest in the past few nights, she drew a perspective view from the balcony of the Mariners Center through the glass when the sun was right at noon, looking inside.

The interior furniture design is very similar to the exterior facade, using smooth arcs, solid wood colors, and a large amount of wooden furniture.

Watching the person in charge opposite flipping through the pictures one by one, although the expression on his face did not change much, from the speed with which he looked at the pictures, Lin Yilan guessed that he was still very interested in this interior design style.

After a while, half of the cup of tea was drunk and two-thirds of the sketchbook was read.

Lin Yilan put down the tea cup, put her hands together on her lap, and tapped the thumb of her left hand with her right thumb.

"I read in the newspaper that the mayor of SJT town has been supporting the environmental movement in recent years, and his policy has won the support of many SJT residents. I think the mayor must have won the hearts of the people.

" When the person in charge stared at her, she picked up the teacup and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the sketchbook was almost finished, Lin Yilan spoke again, "Speaking of which, your mayor and I have some tacit understanding in some aspects.

The design style I used for the Sailor Center project is one that I have always liked. The design style is in line with nature and is simple. Through the use of a large number of natural wood colors, people in this environment have a fresh feeling of being in the forest. "

As an architect for so many years, she has successfully practiced. She has developed a skill, which is to say different words when facing people in different projects to achieve her goal.

For example, when she was talking to the project team leader in front of her now, she knew very well that talking to him about the use of color, visual effects, and artistic styles of buildings was all useless nonsense.

The person in charge opposite was not an idiot. He could also hear what Lin Yilan meant.

He put the sketchbook he had finished aside and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Ms. Lin, you are very smart."

"This is what struck me most about your project description at the time."

"Our town has been in this town for many years . There are more and more fishing boats in the port, and fishing has indeed aroused the resentment of some residents who protect the environment."

At this point, he suddenly changed the topic and tapped the sketchbook at hand, "I really like this design style. I like it, but the project still needs to be approved by the town mayor."

Lin Yilan naturally knew that she only discovered the local emphasis on this project when she came here.

According to them, SJT town has not spent so much money on building new buildings for a long time.

And I also want to let the outside world know about the port of SJT Town through the promotion of this project.

I heard that the mayor of the town is very ambitious and wants to expand the town's port to allow more ships to come and go, so as to increase the town's financial revenue.

This seems to be the reason why the mayor sent his cronies to serve as project team leaders.

All these information were collected by her during this period. She would read newspapers after work every afternoon. Others were learned through chatting with other people at work.

She was able to gain so much because these people secretly "looked down" on her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the person in charge looked through her sketchbook again and looked up at Lin Yilan.

"Ms. Lin, I saw your interior design, and it is indeed unique. But when I think about it carefully, other designers can't do it, so why did we choose you?"

To be honest, Lin Yilan has never been interested in the eye color of white people.

Just like the person in charge, Aaron, sitting opposite her now.

A typical white man from Denmark, with blond hair and blue eyes, and deep facial features. In addition, he should have been exercising for a long time and maintained a good figure. He looks like a handsome guy who will be liked by others.

His eyes may look deep and tender to outsiders. But Lin Yilan, who was looking at him, had different opinions.

The blue eyes have become a little cloudy due to age, and the blue color is not as transparent as that of young people, and is even a little dull.

Coupled with the calculation that he couldn't hide at this moment.

Eyes like this look like they are inorganic and plastic.

It seemed like a dummy...

Somehow, Zuckerberg's eyes appeared in her mind.

But she couldn’t remember what Zuckerberg’s eye color was.

Lin Yilan pulled back from her wandering thoughts into outer space. She looked into the eyes of the person in charge and thought about her various advantages.

She keeps comparing in her mind that even though she knows her abilities, she is just an ordinary person with no reputation in the construction industry.

Soon, an advantage came to mind.

This advantage can be said to be an advantage over all other architects in Denmark.

"I think one of the reasons why you chose me is that my design fee is relatively cheap."

After saying that, she felt like she was crying in her heart.

In the future, if you become more powerful, you must aggressively ask for design fees from clients.

"After you selected my design draft for this project, I was paid according to the price of your Danish architectural firm."

"But for the cost of interior design this time, I can refer to the price in our country for the design fee."

" And I am very sure that after you use my interior design drawings, the effect of the Mariner Center will only be better.”

“My greatest confidence in me is my design ability. Even if you find someone to imitate the design style I proposed, That can't be me."

Lin Yilan resisted the desire to cross her legs and looked at the other person with a smile on her face.

When facing customers and project parties, she cannot show any guilt or weakness.

Even if she can't do anything, as long as she thinks of a way, she will definitely find a way. Fortunately, she didn't have a dedicated design team for this project, otherwise she really couldn't just promise to waive the design fee so casually.

She is the only designer, and she needs to reduce her own interests, but she clearly understands the purpose of doing so, and it is also a pavement to achieve the real goal.

The person in charge looked at Lin Yilan and had to say that the point she made was very attractive.

He touched the cover of the sketchbook at hand and looked at Lin Yilan.

The two looked at each other, although they both had smiles on their faces, they knew in their hearts that they were in a stalemate to see who had the patience.

"Furthermore, Aaron, I can also give you a guarantee that all the furniture in the Sailors Center is not available on the market today and is all designed by me.

If you choose to use the furniture products I designed, I can find a way to make it The cost of interior decoration of the Sailor Center will be reduced a bit."

Lin Yilan sighed, showing her weakness.

She spoke first to break the deadlock, which also represented her willingness to bow her head to the person in charge.

To make money, don't be shabby. As long as the cooperation is achieved, her real goal can also be achieved.

The person in charge stared at Lin Yilan. After a while, he suddenly showed a big smile.

"Lin, your words really touched me."

"But you also know that for such a big thing, I can't make a decision alone. We are a democratic country. Unlike your country, I need to discuss it with other people in the group. , I hope you can get used to it."

Lin Yilan said with a smile: "Of course, Aaron, I think you also need to discuss it with the mayor. After I went abroad, I became very patient," she

said when talking about the project . Project, why are you slandering her motherland, making it sound like her country is undemocratic...

This is what I hate the most every time I go to work on a project abroad. Besides, she is also very angry. Who doesn't know that this person said she was discussing with the group, but in fact she was not waiting for the mayor to make a decision.

It is said that it is a democratic country so it needs consultation and communication, but in fact it means that there is no efficiency in doing things.

Forget it, don't get angry with such stupidity. She believed that the stupid person in charge across from her didn't understand her hidden meaning.

"As long as you have patience." The person in charge nodded with satisfaction. He raised the sketchbook at hand, "By the way, I wonder if you can keep this sketchbook with me?"

Sure enough, it's going to happen again. .

Lin Yilan had already taken precautions in advance, "Of course, the words will be more credible if you have proof."

After a few casual greetings and mutual condolences, she lowered her head and pretended to look at her watch, and then looked at it apologetically. To the person in charge, "Aaron, I have something else to do, so I won't delay your work. Bye."

After she stood up, the person in charge also stood up, opened the door for Lin Yilan, and sent her out of the office.

After leaving Aaron's office, Lin Yilan returned to the project staff's office.

Returning to her desk, she looked at the various drawings spread out on her desk and packed them away one by one.

I also took this opportunity to sort out my thoughts.

When she sent her design materials to Denmark last year, although she provided some interior design drawings, they were not complete and only a rough idea.

During the few months she was waiting for notification of the project, she not only designed the furniture, but also refined the interior design ideas.

This is why she specifically submitted interior design this time.

She also played a little trick at the time. After briefly understanding that SJT Town was a town with a history, she guessed that there had been no new construction projects in SJT Town for a while. Even if there were any, it would be the maintenance and repair of old houses. Repair.

Then they should be unclear about the specific contents of a complete set of design drawings, so she seemed to have provided a complete set of design drawings before, but actually omitted the interior design part.

She also asked for design fees twice.

But SJT Town did not suffer any loss at all. Although she did not know the market price of the design drawings in Denmark, based on price speculation in Europe and the United States, the design fee she received was not much at all, and should even be lower than the market level.

Even so, these people often acted like she should be grateful. After all, to her, such a design fee is a "sky-high price" in China.

Since they plotted against her, don't blame her for plotting against them.

We are just each other.

After sorting out the information and drawings on the table, Lin Yilan sat down in her seat.

During the next period of time, she would carefully observe their opinions on this interior design to determine her next step.

Time flies and the Mariner Center project team is almost finalizing the design.

Therefore, it is time for the interior design drawings to be released.

"Lin, when are your interior design drawings coming out?" The engineer in the team lit a cigarette and stood by the window looking at Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan was blowing on the hot water she finally got, "Huh? Aaron didn't ask me to produce interior design drawings."

"Did you receive a notice from Aaron?"

The engineer was stunned for a moment. "But Aaron has been away during this time..." He suddenly stopped speaking, glanced outside, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Then, he quickly looked towards Lin Yilan, but through the heat, he couldn't see her expression clearly.

After his heart beat twice, he was ready to put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

"What did you just say?" Lin Yilan put down the cup and looked at the engineer blankly.

The engineer clutched his chest, wondering why he was making such a fuss. Why was he afraid of a little girl from a foreign country? And he is a new architect from a poor country.

Even if it is true...what can she do?

Thinking of this, he instantly cast a sympathetic look on Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan felt his gaze and saw the man's self-righteous and condescending sympathy. She lowered her head and picked up the cup.

Wasn't it just that she wanted to copy and imitate her design...

If anyone could imitate her, if she didn't make any preparations, how could she give away the sketchbook so easily?

It's not like she didn't know that the person in charge had recently gone to the office where the engineer worked.

"Hmm!" She took a sip of the cooler hot water and felt warm all over.

Lin Yilan put down the cup, picked up the newspaper next to it, shook it, leaned on the back of the chair, and raised her toes, dangling in the air.

The other people sitting in the office also became more relaxed due to Lin Yilan's influence.

Lin Yilan, who was reading the newspaper, took a pencil to mark the words she didn't know, and then poked her chin with the butt of the pencil.

A colleague not far away saw her being so attentive and couldn't help but poke his head over and look at the newspaper in her hand curiously.

"Lin, what are you reading? Can you understand the newspaper now?"

Lin Yilan opened the newspaper to him. "I still can't understand it. I can only guess while reading."

"And this column I find the articles more interesting, so I read them often. Do you want to read them?" She handed the newspaper over with a smile.

The colleague took the newspaper and scanned it quickly, "This is an introduction to food. I can't tell that you like to delve into delicious food."

Lin Yilan poked the draft paper on the table with the tip of her pen, "There is an old saying in our country, people rely on food." For God's sake, I agree with this very much."

The colleague smiled and shook his head and returned the newspaper to her without interest.

Lin Yilan took the newspaper and continued to read it carefully.

After watching for a while, she lowered her head to glance at her watch, put down the newspaper and stood up.

"Lin, what are you going to do?" a colleague suddenly asked.

Lin Yilan turned back and looked at her male colleague innocently, "I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to go too?"

"But I remember that the men's and women's bathrooms are in different places..." she reminded apologetically.

The colleague said sarcastically: "No, I'm not going. You go ahead."

Lin Yilan shrugged and walked out calmly.
