In this world, there are many projects and opportunities waiting for Lin Yilan to fight for.

If getting this project meant that she had to become the same person as Zhou Yumiao in the eyes of some people, she would definitely not accept it.

Lin Yilan knew very well that some things could not be broken easily.

She looked at the silent woman opposite. Even though the chairman's wife did not take off her sunglasses, she clearly knew that the two people were looking at each other. Although she looked very calm and composed on her face, her schoolbag straps were already balled up in her hands.

The SG chairman's wife stared at her eyes for a while, then suddenly sneered, then raised her hand and took off her sunglasses.

"Please take out your portfolio and let me see it. Let me see where your confidence comes from."

She did not ask Lin Yilan for a portfolio because she knew very well that ambitious people like Lin Yilan , will never let go of any opportunity.

Because she is like that too.

Lin Yilan took out her work from her bag, as well as the store sketch she designed for SG.

"Ah~" Looking at the book on the table, the SG chairman's wife smiled, "You are more prepared than I thought."

She picked up the portfolio first, "Let me take a look at your works. ."

She opened the cover of the sketchbook and found something interesting on the first page.

It’s just that the interesting thing is not the design drawings, but the accompanying text next to the design drawings. The accompanying text is prepared in Chinese and English.

What a surprise.

As she continued to turn the pages, her energy became more and more concentrated, and she gradually threw away thoughts that had nothing to do with the design drawings.

"Mrs. Dewey, it's time to continue visiting the Forbidden City." The translator in charge of SG came over and reminded softly.

He also glanced at Lin Yilan and signaled her to stand up and get ready for work.

Just when Lin Yilan was about to make a move, she heard the wife of the SG chairman opposite speaking.

"Sorry, I suddenly had something to do in the afternoon and I don't want to visit the Forbidden City for the time being. I think I will have a chance to visit again in the future." After

the SG chairman's wife finished speaking, she smiled perfunctorily at the translator, and then continued to look at her hands. in the portfolio.

"Ah, by the way, I need the help of Ms. Lin Yilan in front of me this afternoon, so she can't go over to work with you."

The translator was stunned and at a loss, "Then I'll go and talk to our leader first."

Before turning around and leaving . , he couldn't help but look at Lin Yilan several times, but he really couldn't see anything unique about her.

"William! Come here, I have something to ask you." After the translator left, she loudly called to her husband who was sitting not far away reading a book.

Lin Yilan immediately stood up and moved a stool from the side to the chairman's wife.

The enthusiasm of the chairman's wife made her a little surprised. From asking her to beg her at the beginning, to now taking the initiative to show her design to the chairman.

The mood changes too quickly.

Perhaps for these people, whether it is useful to them is the key to their emotional changes.

Now that she is useful, the SG chairman's wife is warm to her.

It wasn't until William sat across from her that she really got a clear look at the appearance of the famous chairman of SG Group.

For so many days, she had only seen the profile of this person, and today she finally saw the full face.

It was pretty much what she imagined, a very typical male white corporate executive.

On some corporate official websites in the future, there will be a white man who looks like this.

William put his arm on the back of his wife's chair, tilted his head and leaned against her ear and asked: "Dear Nevaeh, what's wrong?"

Nevaeh handed the portfolio that he had read in a hurry to William's hand, "This It's Miss Lin Yilan, this is her work, look at it."

Lin Yilan looked at him with a very standard smile.

William raised his eyebrows and shook the portfolio in his hand, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I think it's worth reading." After Nevaeh finished speaking, he picked up the other bound volume in front of him.

Lin Yilan intervened at the right time and introduced: "Mrs. Dewey, this is the sketch I designed for the SG brand store."

Nevaeh nodded, "Okay, I get it."

For the next time, the two of them watched Lin Yilan After receiving all the design drawings, he did not make any comments. After returning her portfolio and design sketches to her, he asked to go back to the hotel.

And she had been sitting across from them watching them look at her work.

Compared with the twists and turns in the morning, the afternoon was too unremarkable.

But this day was too exciting for Lin Yilan.

After she was forced to exchange jobs with Zhou Yumiao, she was originally struggling with whether to violate the regulations. When she went to the hotel where the SG chairman and his wife were staying to contact them privately, things took a turn for the worse and she directly handed them her portfolio. .

Such an ups and downs day left her still in a dazed state when she returned to her dormitory at night.

In the following days, Lin Yilan was busy with classes, so the volunteer team did not arrange work for her.

Therefore, although she was anxious to wait for a reply, she did not have much time to think about how to deal with this matter.

In this way, there was no news from SG until Sunday when she had a rest.

"Large companies are slow to handle things, and they won't be able to change designers so quickly."

"Well, don't be anxious. Don't forget, when we cooperated with Party A of a large company, we waited for three months for the project results.

Now we still have It’s only been four days, why are you so anxious?”

Lin Yilan stood in her yard and kept circling around the table in the yard, thinking to herself.

Looking at the pencils and drawings scattered everywhere on the table, she rubbed her hair and yelled.

"Ha--"

Then he sat down on his seat, picked up a pencil and continued designing his new home.

"I'm just thinking about SG. I haven't designed my home yet."

She took a pencil, straightened her posture, stared at the white paper on the table, and looked like she was going to work seriously.

"Ah~ I'm so annoyed."

Lin Yilan couldn't maintain her posture for a minute, and she lay on the table and rubbed her hair in pain.

Such anxiety and irritability eventually dissipated as time went by.

On the Qingming Festival, the fourth day after the foreign delegation left, Lin Yilan completely gave up her obsession with the SG project.

Fortunately, the law of conservation of energy caused her to fail in the SG project, but it also gave her a surge of inspiration in the design of her own house.

Looking at the freshly released tenth version of the plan, Lin Yilan smiled with satisfaction with two big dark circles under her eyes.

"Hehehehe, the yard I bought can finally be renovated, and I can finally have a toilet."

She put down her pencil and drawings with a silly smile, pushed herself up unsteadily from the chair, then half-opened her eyes, her head was dizzy like a ghost, she floated to the bedside, and fell straight down.

"The quilt is so comfortable..."

The sound, as small as the vibration of mosquito wings, slowly dissipated in the air.

Lin Yilan slept in darkness, and the trance she felt while sitting on the bed made her feel like she had slept from prehistory to the era of human civilization.

Looking at the sky outside the window, she rubbed her eyes.

How could she remember that the sun had just risen before she went to bed, and now it looked like the sun was about to rise again?

After she yawned, her head felt dizzy and her stomach was very hungry. She had no choice but to prop her legs up and rest her chin, looking at the patterns on the sheets slowly.

After finishing her daze, she struggled to get up from the bed.

By the way, I turned on the light in the bedroom.

"Are you awake?"

When the second sister rushed in, Lin Yilan was lying on the ground looking for shoes with her butt sticking out.

"Second sister?" She rubbed her eyes, looking like she had seen a ghost, "Second sister!"

"Why are you at home?" Seeing that the second sister was really here, she found a pair of shoes and put them on.

Wang Qichen was so angry that he pinched her face, "Why am I here? Miss Lin, do you know how long you have been sleeping!"

"Saliva~ slobber!"

She struggled to shake her head, twisting her body hard and finally got out of the second sister's arms. rescued his face from the clutches of his wife.

"Second sister, what happened?" Lin Yilan covered her cheek and looked at the second sister timidly.

Wang Qichen put his hands on his hips and circled in front of her, "You have been sleeping for almost a day!!"

"Your school wanted to ask you something and couldn't contact you, so I had to ask your teacher and our parents, but they couldn't contact you. Later, they had no choice but to come to your new house and knock on the door for an hour, but there was no response at all."

"Do you know that it almost scared our parents to death? Later, my mother was afraid that you would take some precautions against the wall, so she found me.

"Luckily, you girl gave me a key to your house."

After thinking about it, they spent a long time to enter Lin Yilan's house . , searched around her house and found this girl lying motionless on the bed. Wang Qichen's eyes turned red.

She patted Lin Yilan's back hard, her voice choked, "Don't stay up late anymore. I almost thought you had slept to death. I was really scared to death by you."

After saying that, she cried and hugged her. Lived in Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan didn't expect the second sister to be so excited. She quickly patted her back, "Second sister, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. I will never stay up late again."

Wang Qichen buried his face on her shoulder. , sniffing hard.

Stimulated by this incident, she remembered what happened when Xiao Wu was born. Xiao Wu never knew about this. When she was less than one year old, their mother went to work, and it was her responsibility to take care of Xiao Wu.

One day, while she was doing her homework, she turned around and found that Xiao Wu was not breathing. Just like what she had seen yesterday, he was lying motionless on the bed.

"Second sister, don't worry. Look, I'm in great shape now. If you don't believe it, look at the muscles on my arms." Lin Yilan saw the second sister crying non-stop. She stretched out her free hand and made a Popeye pose, showing off her biceps.

"Look, second sister, do you know what this is called? This is called a little mouse! Speaking of which, I think you should exercise too. All those muscles you had before have disappeared in the past few years."

Wang Qichen heard that he wanted to exercise. After the incident, she let Lin Yilan go.

She wiped the corners of her eyes, put away her sadness, and said with a serious face: "By the way, you can go to your school at dawn."

"Your teacher asked me to tell you about the project you have always wanted to win. , I have a chance."

Lin Yilan was so excited that she held Wang Qichen's hand, "Second sister! Second sister! I'm so happy!"

Wang Qichen was pulled around and her eyes were dizzy, "Okay. Yes, I know you're happy."

"I've heated a pot of porridge for you on the stove. You can go and drink it after you wash up."

"I should be getting ready to go back to school later." Wang Qichen patted her chest. I checked her back and checked her physical condition. After confirming that Xiao Wu was fine, I felt much more at ease.

Lin Yilan put her hands on her second sister's shoulders and stared at the sister in front of her seriously.

Until Wang Qichen's face slowly turned red and he wanted to break away from her hand, she hugged her second sister.

"Thank you, second sister."

Wang Qichen patted her back gently like he coaxed her to sleep when she was a child. "You're welcome, my little sister."

"Although you changed the subject to avoid exercise, I still want to remind you. "If you have time, do some exercise and exercise." Lin Yilan put her head on her second sister's shoulder and murmured like a devil.

Wang Qichen pushed her away and turned around indifferently, "I understand, you should wash up quickly."

When she reached the door, she stopped again, turned around and said angrily: "If you stay up late again and I catch you, I will go find our mother. Tell a story."

Lin Yilan raised her right hand, "I swear I will never stay up late."

Wang Qichen looked her up and down, snorted, turned around and walked out of her bedroom arrogantly.

Looking at the second sister's back, Lin Yilan thought of her previous reaction and laughed directly on the bed.

The sky is getting dark and the sun is slowly rising.

Lin Yilan opened the window, sat at the desk, drank spoonfuls of the heart-warming millet porridge cooked by her second sister, and looked at the horizon to watch the sunrise.

As the sun rose, the golden light it brought also fell from the window onto her face and into the bowl.

After eating the golden sunshine and millet, she simply washed up and prepared to go to school.

After knocking on the door of Professor Wu's office, Lin Yilan opened the door after getting his permission to come in.

"Teacher, I'm here."

Professor Wu pulled down his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose and stared at the students standing in front of him.

Seeing her pale face and blue-black eyes, she looked like a depressed and pitiful little girl.

He resisted the desire to curse and pointed to the seat opposite the desk, "You sit down first."

He took out the wolfberry he used to nourish his body from the bookcase, added it with American ginseng, put it in the cup, and poured it in boiling water.

"Drink this glass of water when it cools down later."

Lin Yilan wrinkled her nose, smelling of Chinese medicine.

Just when she was about to refuse, she saw the teacher's eyes that wanted to teach her a lesson. She immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you teacher, I will drink it all later."

Professor Wu sighed and sat on his office chair , pick up the pen cap on the table and cover the pen.

"Tell me about you, a person in your early twenties, who made yourself look even more haggard than an old man like me."

"Tell me, what design drawings have you been drawing recently?"

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Professor Wu said Raising his hand, "Don't tell me it's SG. I know very well about SG."

Lin Yilan scratched her cheek and smiled, "Didn't I use the design fees from the Danish project to buy a courtyard house? I'm designing a house for myself."

Professor Wu was silent for a moment and gave a thumbs up, "You are It’s really amazing. I tortured myself. I’m convinced.”

She didn’t know what to say, and now that she thought about her previous actions, she seemed to have a brain problem.

It is probably stimulated by the failure of the SG project.

Lin Yilan sighed when she thought of SG, and her back slumped a little.

"Okay, don't look downcast and wilted. I have some good news for you!" Professor Wu sat upright, put his hands together on the table, and showed a proud smile.

She also leaned forward and lay on the teacher's desk, "Teacher, what's so good?"

Professor Wu slowly raised the corners of his mouth and raised his fingers at her, "Guess!"

Lin Yilan: .... ..

She fell back on the chair and said angrily: "Teacher, you are a bit boring."

Professor Wu whistled and shook his head proudly, "Who told you to stay up late and oversleep? You missed this wonderful opportunity in the first place. News."

"If you hadn't made a mistake, you wouldn't have had to get news from this annoying old man like me."

"Shhhhh~"

Lin Yilan felt her hands itch. Her teacher really went to study abroad when she was young because of her bad mouth. A man beaten by his fellow man.

She took a deep breath, drooped her eyelids, and stared at the teacher motionlessly with her dead eyes.

Professor Wu couldn't stand this kind of fatal shooting, and he surrendered helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

"Someone from SG contacted the school and said that their group planned to meet with you in a few days to discuss SG in the mainland. The design of the brand store.

"How are you? Comrade Xiaolin!" Professor Wu shook his head excitedly again, "He is indeed the student that I, Wu Congshan, like me, is better than others. "

Hahahaha~"

Lin Yilan's happy mood was immediately extinguished by the teacher's sudden laughter.

The more she got to know Professor Wu, the more she realized that he was really a naive and narcissistic old man, but she had to admit his talent in architecture.

I thought about the serious and serious faces I saw in reports and news in my previous life, and then I saw Professor Wu laughing like crazy in front of me.

Sure enough, distance brings beauty.

While waiting for SG Group to meet with her, Lin Yilan finally finalized the design drawings of her new home.

And found the construction team and Uncle Zhao to start work.

There are not many places to renovate the courtyard, but there are a lot of ancient buildings that need to be restored. These require specialized masters to do it bit by bit by hand, so she can no longer live in her new home for the past three months.

But for her it was all worth the wait.

For her, this is a bold attempt. If it were not her own house, she would never dare to build it like this.

The extensive use of light, shadow, and flowing curves in the yard creates a romantic world of her own.

A large number of decorations and furniture in this house were made from "scrap" she bought or picked up.

An old object dismantled from someone else's house, a piece of tile that had been damaged by wind, rain and sun for decades, was made into a wind chime and placed in her study. A decayed load-bearing column was redesigned by Zhao. My uncle re-polished it and made it into a wooden bench for resting in the yard.

It can be said that the decoration of this house did not cost much, but it took a lot of work and time.

While she was immersed in the joy of decorating her new home, people from SG Group also returned to Beijing.

Professor Wu put down the red pen in his hand, glanced at the time, and looked at Lin Yilan who was pressing her face against the window glass. "It's time for us to leave for the conference room. The SG people are about to arrive."

Lin Yilan was staring at A caterpillar pupating on a leaf, "Teacher, will you come with me?"

Professor Wu nodded, "Of course, although you have had experience communicating with project parties before, this time there are also people from the school. "People, maybe they will hold you back."

"Don't underestimate the power of your pig teammates."

She looked at the caterpillar that was about to fall off the leaf, "Of course I know, thank you, teacher. You are indeed the best in the world." Good teacher."

"...Stop flattering me and go out. You are so old and you still like to watch ants." Professor Wu couldn't help but complain.

He picked up the suit hanging on the hook and put it on carefully.

Speaking of which, this suit was custom-made when he was studying abroad when he was young, and he hadn't worn it for a long time.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he moved the white hair on his head and straightened the collar of his shirt.

Ah... Even though he is old, he is still a handsome old man.

When Lin Yilan turned around, she happened to see the teacher's narcissistic smile.

"..."

Why are all the elder men around her like this? Her father is also narcissistic, and her teacher is also narcissistic.

Is she some kind of narcissist who attracts people?

Or do we say that birds of a feather flock together?

Does it turn out that she is also a narcissistic and stinky person? ? ?

She shivered coldly at the thought, and waved her hands in front of her face to get rid of all those thoughts.

"Teacher, are you leaving?"

Professor Wu nodded, buttoned up the mirror, "Let's go."

When he came out of Professor Wu's office, the sun was rising directly above the sky.

On the way to the conference room, you can see all kinds of students in the school.

When she saw the young face and the clear innocence in her eyes, Lin Yilan suddenly remembered that she would soon be a junior in college and how time flies.

But even though she was only a junior in college, she no longer had the purity of a college student.

Although he is a social animal, he must have the experience of a social animal.

She put her hands in front of her eyes, looked up at the sun in the distance, and showed a satisfied smile.

This scene also fell in the eyes of other people not far behind.

"Brother Cheng, what are you looking at?"

Ji Xuecheng looked away and shook his head, "You didn't see anything, let's go."

The person who spoke looked in the direction he was looking at and his eyes lit up, "Hey, Isn't that Lin Yilan from your class?"

"Would you like to go over and say hello?"

Ji Xuecheng grabbed his arm, "Don't go there, she has something to do today."

"Oh." People looked at him clearly, "I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I forgot that you and her are competitors."

Ji Xuecheng looked back at Lin Yilan and saw her jumping happily, He lowered his head and sneered.

"What kind of competitor am I?"

He raised his head and sighed, and said gloomily, "How can I compare to her?"

"What are you thinking about? Xuecheng." When Si Ping came over, he saw Ji Xuecheng with a dejected look on his face and patted him on the shoulder.

Ji Xuecheng shook his head and said nothing.

The person who had spoken to Ji Xuecheng before helped to explain, "Brother Cheng just saw his rival Lin Yilan in the class. Brother Siping, do you know Lin Yilan?"

Siping was stunned for a moment and went to anxiously. Ji Xuecheng looked behind him, "Where is Lin Yilan?"

The speaker was a little confused about the current situation. He pointed in the direction of the office building, "It seems to be going over there."

"Wait for me." Ping walked in the direction he pointed.

However, at this moment someone grabbed his arm.

"Brother Si Ping, don't go there." Ji Xuecheng looked at Si Ping seriously, "She already said she doesn't want you to disturb her anymore."

Si Ping pulled his hand down and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ji Xuecheng "What do you mean? Don't tell me you like her too?" Ji

Xuecheng shook his head calmly, "No."

Si Ping sneered, "Then why do you care about me?"

Cheng turned his head and glanced in the direction of Lin Yilan, and then said with great sincerity: "Because you are not good enough for her, stop harassing her."

"She was able to go to Denmark to take on a design project in the first half of her sophomore year . Now, people from SG Group are also planning to meet with her to discuss the design of SG brand stores in the mainland.

How do you think you are worthy of her? You are just a graduate student at Beijing University. What have you done? What achievements? What were you doing when she was so young?

You didn't even understand how powerful she was. You just liked her face and was a superficial person. "

" "Hey, hey -"

"Stop fighting!"

"Let go, let go quickly."

Lin Yilan frowned when she heard the noise outside and walked to the window of the stairwell.

"Xiao Lin? What are you doing?"

Professor Wu was halfway up the stairs when he suddenly realized that the student behind him was missing.

She pointed at the figure not far away and looked back at Professor Wu helplessly, "It seems that someone is fighting."

Professor Wu clicked his tongue, "Why is there a fight at this time? I'll go down and ask my colleagues from the security office to deal with it. You go to the conference room first."

"Maybe the boy is too excited." Professor Wu glanced at her speechlessly. She was pretending to be stupid

.

Smiling, "Teacher, I'm going to the conference room first. "

" Please hurry up and deal with it. I'll wait for you in the conference room. "

After she dropped these words, she continued to climb the stairs with long strides.

Three steps, one step, two steps, one jump.

As for the noise outside, she just dismissed it as a boring bustle that she had forgotten somewhere. When

it came to the meeting At the door of the room, Lin Yilan quietly peeked in. They were all teachers setting up the venue.

She thought about it and decided not to go in yet. She

took out the design drawings from her bag and leaned against the window to look through them. She stood up.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, but she did not look back, but continued to be immersed in the design.

"Lin Yilan, long time no see."

Lin Yilan closed the notebook and looked back at the boy who was very close to her.

"Is it you? " Why haven't you given up yet? "

She and Bao Jinwang hadn't seen each other for almost a year, and she didn't know why he showed up again.

Under her contempt, Bao Jinwang couldn't help but take a step back.

"Classmate Lin, what do you mean? ? "

She leaned against the wall, turned her head and glanced behind him, and then moved her eyes back to Bao Jinwang's face.

Looking down from his face, she looked at him carefully.

Bao Jinwang couldn't stand it . With such a look that almost penetrated his bones, he took a step to the side in an attempt to avoid her gaze.

Lin Yilan touched her chin. The clothes she wore now were much better than when she saw him a year ago. Well .

If she remembered correctly at that time, Bao Jinwang was still wearing patched cotton jackets, and now he can wear cashmere coats. There is more flesh on his cheeks than last year, and his complexion is better.

"When she thought about the reason why this person became like this, she raised her eyebrows speechlessly.

Bao Jinwang didn't know why she made such a sound. He straightened his expression and said, "Classmate Lin, I am here today. Congratulations. I heard that you have the opportunity to cooperate with SG Group. You are indeed the best student in the architecture department of our school.

"Of course, I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on projects in the future. "

Lin Yilan raised her hand, "No, please don't. " ”

“If I were to be reduced to working on a project with you, I would rather not do this project. "

Her dislike for Bao Jinwang was not just a little bit. When she thought about what he planned to do, she felt a little sick.

"Don't treat me as a fool, and don't treat others as fools. You say you are looking for like-minded companions, but you know exactly what you are thinking in your heart. "

His expression kept changing. He took a deep breath, then looked down at his watch and said apologetically: "Classmate Lin, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you for now. Goodbye. "

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, as if he had encountered some unknown organism.

Lin Yilan looked at his hurried back and rolled her eyes.

"It's really crazy.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, she shouted in the direction where Bao Jinwang left, "You kid, don't find it hard to come to me in the future. "

"Be careful, I will clean up all your mess. "

"Who comes in front of you to find you unhappy? " "As soon as Professor Wu climbed up the stairs, he heard the roar of his students.

He glanced in the direction Lin Yilan was looking at, but saw nothing.

Lin Yilan curled her lips and said that Bao Jinwang had just appeared in front of her. After telling me what happened, he recounted what he had in mind.

Professor Wu frowned and said with disdain: "Your senior brother told me some time ago what that kid has been doing recently. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and warned Lin Yilan, "If you see that kid in the future, stay away from him." That damn thing, if you continue like this, it will be ruined sooner or later.

She spread her hands and said nonchalantly: "I never look for trouble, trouble always comes to me personally. "

Professor Wu: "..." "

Okay, hurry up and enter the conference room. Why are you staying outside?" "He didn't know what to say.

Lin Yilan shook the design sketch in his hand and said, "I'm going to make some preparations. "

When she entered the conference room again, the previous teacher in the conference room had left at some point, and there was no one there.

She found her seat according to the table sign arranged for the meeting and was about to sit down when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Okay . Guys, there are two rows of seats for host and guest, and she sits in the middle of the reception party. The school thinks so highly of her.

"This position was decided after discussion between the department leaders and me." Professor Wu comforted her when he saw her standing motionless in front of his seat.

Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the chair and sat down.

"I thought the Taiwanese lottery ticket was put in the wrong place."

He was overthinking it. How could this girl be so nervous? Her mind is bigger than a black hole.

Professor Wu shook his head and pulled out his chair and sat next to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan continued to look through the design sketches, and continued to think about how to explain her design plans and concepts to the people of SG Group later.

She also took out a notepad and pen from her bag, and kept writing and drawing in the notebook. There was movement from time to time around her, with people sitting down and others getting up.

After her high heels collided with the terrazzo and made a crisp walking sound, she put away the materials, pushed away the chair and stood up.

It sounded like there were a lot of people listening to the footsteps.

The sound was getting closer and closer. She looked at the door of the conference room and saw a very familiar person appearing.

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment, feeling the leader around her walking up and down, and she immediately followed behind him.

"Mrs. Dewey, long time no see."

She stood in front of the SG Chairman's wife and extended her right hand.

The wife of the SG chairman smiled and held her hand back, "Lin, as we are familiar with each other, you can just call me Nevaeh."

She nodded, "Okay, Nevaeh."

After a while of polite greetings, both parties followed their instructions. Taishou sat back in his seat.

At this time, Lin Yilan took out a stack of documents from her bag and was about to get up and distribute them.

The department secretary sitting next to her suddenly said, "Xiao Lin, is this information prepared for the SG Chairman's wife and the others?"

Lin Yilan nodded and replied in a low voice, "Yes, this is what I went to the printing factory to find someone for. The latest design sketch copied."

The department secretary smiled at her with satisfaction, "Very good, you are very prepared. I just need to find someone to help."

He turned to the girl standing behind him. He waved, "That lesbian, please come over here."

Lin Yilan also turned to look behind the department secretary.

Oh, today is a big gathering of acquaintances, why are we acquaintances again?

When Peng Junhua saw Lin Yilan, the smile on her face was as stiff as pork that had been frozen in the cold storage for half a year. No matter how hard she pulled, it wouldn't budge.

She took a deep breath and walked to the department secretary, "Hello, secretary. What can I do for you?"

The department secretary moved the pile of information in front of Lin Yilan to her hand, "Please pass these information to SG Group. Everyone has one copy."

"If you have any extra, please send one to the school leaders, please," Lin Yilan added immediately.

Because Peng Junhua kept taking deep breaths, the bones in her neck were dented. She forced a smile and said, "Okay, Secretary."

She took the materials in her hand, trying to pretend that she didn't hold them securely and let the materials fall to the ground.

It was just that the department secretary held the tilted information, then snatched the information back from her hand, frowning, "Why can't you handle this matter well? You are not needed in the conference room for the time being, please go out first. "

After saying that, he handed the information to another female teacher who came over very eye-catchingly. "You go and distribute it, okay?"

The female teacher assured with a firm look, "Don't worry, Secretary, I will distribute it in place."

The department secretary nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your trouble."

From the corner of his eye, he saw Peng Junhua, who was still standing there stupidly, and said in a rough voice: "Teacher, you are no longer needed here. Please go back to your desk first." Office."

Peng Junhua bit her lip and looked at Lin Yilan, who was sitting next to the department secretary, for help.

Lin Yilan had already guessed that this person would cause trouble. After the department secretary arranged the person to distribute the materials, she turned around and continued talking to Nevaeh.

All that was left to Peng Junhua was the back of her head.

"Okay, why aren't you leaving?" The department secretary became irritated and stared at Peng Junhua.

Peng Junhua's heart trembled, and after saying sorry, she immediately left the office.

In the conference room, Nevaeh got a copy of Lin Yilan's design sketch distributed by the female teacher and immediately started reading it.

"Lin, this design sketch is different from the one I saw before. Have you modified it?"

Lin Yilan nodded, "Yes, after my volunteer work was over, I went to modify some places that I was not satisfied with before.

Nevaeh put the design sketch on the table and looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "Lin, if I remember correctly, SG didn't offer you the opportunity to participate in the design of the brand store at that time, right

? " Nevaeh, even if the project party doesn’t give me a chance, I still hope to improve every inspiration and idea I have.

For me, the process of improvement is also an opportunity to practice.” Lin Yilan picked up the design sketch.

The improvement of each sketch is an opportunity to look back at her own inspiration. How to bring her inspiration closer to reality is something she needs to practice continuously.

And these are her opportunities to practice.

She opened the design sketch in her hand, spread it out on the first page, took a gentle breath, adjusted herself, and looked at Nevaeh with a smile.

"Nevaeh, please allow me to introduce to you my design concept for the SG Beijing brand store." As soon

as Lin Yilan finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

She took out her original design sketch, changed the direction, faced Nevaeh, and began to introduce it.

Nevaeh raised an eyebrow when he saw the design sketch in front of him and leaned forward a little.

After the original design sketch was completed, Lin Yilan went to the printing factory to complete the copying, and then colored all the sketches.

Compared to the black and white photocopied version, the fully colored design sketch immediately caught the attention of SG people.

“I made reference to articles written for SG in past magazines, reviews of shows, interviews with the chairman of SG Group, interviews with the SG brand design director, and interview clips with relevant staff of the SG brand, to prepare this SG report. The first brand store in the mainland has a design theme of "

elegance, creativity and innovation. "

These three words were summarized by Lin Yilan after reading a large number of articles and materials related to SG.

In fact, last night, she had been debating whether to say this or not.

If it were an ordinary project, Party A might accept it and even like the architect to point out the design theme of the project. However, she didn't know whether people in the fashion industry liked the idea of ​​the architect privately setting the concept for the brand store.

Although she doesn't like fashion very much, she still pays attention to fashion. After all, no one knows what if one day the construction industry will be involved in fashion.

Finally, after struggling for a long time, she decided to speak up.

Until now, she doesn't know exactly which land SG plans to build a brand store on. Without knowing the specific conditions of the project site, if she wants to get the project, she must use concepts.

That's right, it's a concept, a word that has been wildly hyped by later generations.

Lin Yilan flipped through the design sketches in front of her one by one, looking up from time to time to observe the expressions of Nevaeh and other people in SG.

"In the design sketch, I used some classic elements of the SG brand to integrate with the building itself, hoping to design a modern building with SG style."

She once again used streamlined design techniques in the design of the brand store. It's just that unlike the Sailor Center of SJT in Denmark, the SG Beijing brand store has more streamlines and a wider area.

"Hiss—"

Someone in the conference room sighed.

Professor Wu looked up and saw that it seemed to be his colleague.

While making copies, he saw Lin Yilan's design sketch. This time it was even bolder than the last time.

He discovered that whenever she met a wealthy project owner, she would become much more "unscrupulous" in her design. These design sketches are really nice and attractive, but as an insider in the industry, even if he is not particularly clear about the cost, he can roughly guess that the budget required for the implementation of such a building is definitely a huge amount in China. Sky-high price.

When Lin Yilan explained the idea of ​​each design sketch in detail, Nevaeh looked up at her.

Suddenly I felt like I had found a treasure.

It was very similar to how she felt when she first met David, the current design director of SG.

"In addition to these playful-looking styles, I have also conceived some more stable architectural sketches."

Classic modernist-style buildings, square boxes, and a large number of glass curtain walls, but Lin Yilan is designing the building skin and windows. I wrote some articles on it.

Irregular window openings, horizontal and vertical windows, and windows with different concavities and convexities were all used in different design sketches.

The design sketch on the last page made Nevaeh's eyes light up as he was already a little tired from being constantly stimulated.

Lin Yilan pointed to the design sketch full of vertical stripes, "Processed bamboo is used on the outer skin."

The first and second floors are outside the glass curtain wall, and the third floor and above only have large-scale windows for office purposes.

Only in the middle of the third and fourth floors, a large piece of wall without windows was set up with a recessed part, and bamboo was put into the recessed wall as decoration, making the overall plane of the building complete.

Nevaeh, who had been listening for so long, finally spoke up, "I like the bamboo you used, it's very creative and eye-catching."

Lin Yilan nodded, her waist slumped a little.

After explaining for so long, she kept her back straight, and her whole body felt stiff.

Nevaeh picked up her original design sketch and looked through it from beginning to end.

During this period, there was no sound in the conference room except for the sound of turning pages.

Lin Yilan also took the opportunity to take some water from her bag and drink it.

After a while, a young girl next to Nevaeh came to the host and whispered something to him. Then I watched the host gesture to the leader of the department. The leader nodded and the host opened his mouth.

"Our meeting will take a 20-minute break."

The host's words were like the whistle of liberation, and people began to get up from their seats and walk out of the conference room.

Lin Yilan also whispered to Professor Wu: "Teacher, I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

Professor Wu nodded, "Go ahead."

When she pushed away the chair and stood up, she felt her buttocks were numb.

After coming out of the conference room, she returned to the window where she was standing before, opened a gap, and leaned against the wall to breathe in the fresh air.

With my eyes closed, I felt the cool breeze blowing on my face, and the temperature on my face finally dropped a little.

It’s really boring to have so many people sitting in a conference room.

"Click."

When she heard the sound of the iron box opening, she realized there was someone beside her. Turning around, I saw Nevaeh holding a slender lady's cigarette in his mouth, but not lighting it.

"Hello." Lin Yilan said hello and then fell back to the wall.

Nevaeh took the lady's cigarette, held it between her fingers, tilted her head and joked: "Lin, why are you so cold?"

She used her head leaning against the wall as a fulcrum, turned half a circle, and looked at Nevaeh.

"I've talked a lot and my mouth is tired. Please allow me to remain silent now."

Nevaeh laughed, "Haha, Lin, are you the real you now?"

She blinked, shook her head and clicked again He nodded, "No, it's the real me every time, just a different side of me."

"Wouldn't it be too boring to use the same method with different people and on different occasions."

"Nevaeh, you Do you know that there is an art in our country called face-changing in Sichuan Province?" Lin Yilan smiled meaningfully at Nevaeh.

Nevaeh thought for a moment, understood what she meant, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Lin, you are so interesting."

"Do you only show such an interesting face when you are very tired?" She squinted her eyes and touched her

chin Seeing Nevaeh showing such a dangerous expression, Yilan quickly stood up straight.

"No, we are getting to know each other gradually. Maybe I will joke with you."

After getting along with Nevaeh several times, she deeply understood that Nevaeh is a person with a bad taste. If Nevaeh really thought she was joking because she was tired, she had no doubt that this man would torture her through work when they worked together.

Nevaeh was amused when she saw her panicked expression. She put the cigarette in her hand under her nose, sniffed hard for a while, and reluctantly put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Not smoking in front of non-smokers was one of her few remaining virtues.

After taking back the cigarette, her expression became serious.

"Lin, to be honest with you, I like your design very much, but you also know the importance of the Beijing SG brand store to our group.

So I'm sorry, this matter cannot be decided by me alone, but I will take the lead I will work hard to win for you in the company because of my love for your design."

Lin Yilan was not frustrated, but nodded confidently, "My love is the same as yours, so I hope that the people in your group have the same love as you. Nevaeh

shook his index finger, folded his hands on his chest, and said regretfully: "Then you may be disappointed. Not everyone in fashion companies has good taste."

"NONONO, Nevaeh, fashion needs to be led. As fashion. Relevant professionals, I believe you can do it." Lin Yilan also imitated her actions and shook her index finger.

Nevaeh stared at Lin Yilan for a long time, then smiled and brushed a handful of hair falling on her shoulders.

"Very good, I like you more and more."

Lin Yilan made a gesture of thanks from men in European and American stage plays, and put her right hand on her left chest, "Thank you for your love, thank you."

"Everyone, it's time to get ready to continue the meeting." The host's voice came from the conference room spread out.

After Nevaeh hummed a few times, he smiled at her with unknown meaning, then turned and walked towards the conference room.

Lin Yilan turned back and glanced outside the window. The camphor tree downstairs was gradually turning green and swaying in the wind.

No wonder so many people like spring, which is full of vitality.

She couldn't help but fall in love at this moment.

After reaching out to close the gap in the window, he turned back to the conference room.

In the following meeting, there was not much going on without Lin Yilan.

Now that the design content has been discussed, the meeting is almost over.

Lin Yilan was the last person to leave in the conference room, and she began to pack up the information on the table.

Especially the copies of the design sketches she prepared, she took them all back.

Watching her count the number of books in her hand, Professor Wu flexed her muscles and said, "How is it? Do the numbers match?"

She nodded, "Yes, I was shameless enough to ask everyone to make copies just now. If you keep the file, they will definitely not take it away."

Professor Wu stretched his arms, "That's because the people in this meeting are all shameless."

"I don't care, anyway, there is no need for me to give Nevaeh. The one I brought back was taken back." Lin Yilan stacked the volumes neatly and put them in her bag.

She has not yet cooperated with SG, so she will not give out her hard work so casually.

As an architect, it is important to learn to protect your hard work.

Of course, there will always be shamelessness, but it is not something she can easily solve. The only thing she can do is to protect herself.
