Lin Yilan spent the first half of 1981 busy.

In the second half of the year, she focused all her energy on her studies and helped out with Professor Wu.

Wang Qichen looked at Lin Yilan who had been lying on the recliner all day. She put the water glass on the coffee table, moved the small stool and sat next to Xiao Wu.

"You've been lying down all day and you don't want to get up and move?"

Lin Yilan closed her eyes and rocked the rocking chair. "You can't get up. You just want to lie down."

Wang Qichen got up and bent down to tuck her in the quilt, then patted her shoulder. He smiled slightly and said, "Are you... not sure?"

His tone was as calm as if he was really discussing.

Lin Yilan jumped up from the recliner very alertly. She grabbed the blanket that fell from her body and threw it back to the recliner.

"Sister, if there is anything you need me to do, I will do it immediately."

Her second sister is the one she is most familiar with. The calmer the tone and the more polite the smile on her face, it means that her second sister is angry. It has reached a certain level.

Wang Qichen held Lin Yilan's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "If you continue to lie at home every day, I will throw you to your parents."

Lin Yilan held Wang Qichen's hand and said, "Sister Ah, I'm going out for a walk now. I plan to travel to Shanghai in a few days."

Wang Qichen let go of Lin Yilan's hand and patted her shoulder, "Okay, then I don't care about you. You will go out one day. Tell us in advance."

"What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."

Lin Yilan held Wang Qichen's arm and said coquettishly.

After seeing that the second sister's mouth was not pursed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the second sister returned to normal.

As a person full of action, Lin Yilan has always done whatever she says.

After arranging everything, Lin Yilan bought a train ticket to Shanghai at the beginning of 1982.

"Xiao Wu, this is your uncle's comrade's phone number. He will arrange for someone to pick you up at the station. When you arrive in Shanghai, remember to call home."

Lin Jiangang rarely went out to see Lin Yilan off.

As he spoke, he put the things prepared by the child's mother into Lin Yilan's hands.

Lin Yilan took the bag, patted Lin Jiangang's shoulder, and said earnestly: "What else did my mother say?"

"Let me think about it..." After Lin Jiangang finished speaking, he saw the sullen look on Lin Yilan's face. Smiling, she immediately patted her, "You stinky girl, are you teasing your father? Is it interesting?"

Lin Yilan touched the place where she was photographed and looked at Lin Jiangang pitifully, "It's mainly because of the way she talks. It's not like you can say it."

"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was my mother who told you to say that. If it were you, you would definitely say, be careful on the road, and don't make a phone call when the time comes. I repeat what I said again. "

She knew her father's virtues well, he was lazy and big-hearted, but he was very planned and would never say so much when sending the children out. Normally, he would say this in advance several days before leaving home. He would not come to the train station to give so many instructions.

As for whether the children will forget, I'm sorry, he has already said that if they still can't remember, then it's time to find something wrong with themselves.

Lin Jiangang nodded happily, "As expected, he is the only one in our family who is of the same lineage. He understands your father very well."

Lin Yilan also smiled and narrowed her eyes, nodding in agreement, "Dad, I have entered the train station and will give it to you when I arrive. Phone, don't worry."

After watching his little daughter enter the train station, Lin Jiangang turned around and left.

After getting into the sleeper car of the train, Lin Yilan found her seat and placed her luggage.

She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.

One hand was placed on the table in front of him, and the other hand was supporting his chin and staring out the car window in a daze.

This time when she went out, her father asked a friend to get her a sleeper ticket.

Although the current train sleeper ticket is not open to everyone, it is much more relaxed than before.

However, compared to the mixed bag of hard-seat carriages, sleeper berths are still relatively safer.

Lin Yilan sat on the bed and waited for the others in her private room to arrive.

There were sounds of people talking in the carriage from time to time, but there was no one there. Until the train blew its whistle and was about to start, no one came to the compartment where she was.

Looking up at the three empty bunks opposite, Lin Yilan closed her eyes comfortably and fell on the bed.

Great, no one.

"Hello, is this No. 12?"

A clear, gentle boy's voice sounded in my ears.

Lin Yilan sat up immediately, "Yes, yes."

She didn't expect that the person in the bunk opposite her would be such a young gay man.

He was holding a black down jacket in his hand, wearing a white shirt, with clean short hair, and metal-rimmed glasses. The corners of his eyes were slightly drooped. He looked very young and harmless, but because of his eyes The clarity and calmness diluted his milkiness, making him look a little mature.

At a cursory glance, he still has an academic aura of engaging in research work.

It was very similar to the temperament of the engineering professors she saw when she was following Professor Wu.

The young gay man did not expect that he and a young lesbian were the only ones in the private room.

After he finished packing his things, he sat on his bed a little awkwardly.

Lin Yilan saw his clenched fists out of the corner of her eye and said hello, "Are you going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"

The young gay man loosened his fists slightly, "Yes, I'm going to find my mentor."

"Hey, Are you a college student too?" Lin Yilan felt much better and became more enthusiastic after meeting the handsome guy.

The young gay man pursed his lips and smiled, showing the dimples on his cheeks.

"Yes, I studied aviation at the University of Technology."

Talents with high IQs, those who can attend their university's aerospace major are students with particularly good grades.

Professionalism and appearance are seriously inconsistent.

Lin Yilan picked up the pillow next to her and held it in her arms. "Hello, alumnus, I am also from the University of Technology, but I majored in architectural design."

"My name is Lin Yilan. Nice to meet you." She stretched out her hand his right hand.

The young gay man groaned and tried to get up recklessly, but his head hit the middle bunk bed directly.

"Hiss..." He covered his head and held Lin Yilan's hand. "Hello, Comrade Lin, my name is Huo Hehang. Nice to meet you."

The two touched their hands lightly and immediately separated. .

While he was still covering his head, Lin Yilan said unbearably: "I'll go to the flight attendant to get some safflower oil. Your head... feels very painful."

Huo Hehang waved his hand and squeezed out a Smiling, "It's okay, Comrade Lin, it'll be fine in a moment."

The pain made his drooping eyes look even more pitiful.

Seeing this, Lin Yilan stepped on the shoes next to the bed, "I'd better ask the flight attendant, you research people have very valuable brains."

After saying that, she didn't even put on her shoes, so she walked out of the private room with her shoes on. Ran out.

Huo Hehang looked at Lin Yilan's back, rubbed his head, and the big dimples on his face were exposed, "Thank you!" He

asked for safflower oil from the flight attendant, and Lin Yilan also asked for a pot of boiling water with a thermos cup.

Smelling the pungent smell of safflower oil in the air, she looked at Huo Hehang, who was a little pale, and held up the cup in his hand. "Do you... want a hot compress?"

Huo Hehang took it out of his bag. A clean white towel, "Thank you."

Lin Yilan waved her hand and handed the thermos cup to Huo Hehang, "It's okay, you're welcome, we are all alumni."

Huo Hehang took the steaming towel Covering his head, the glasses hung a little crookedly on his face, making him look a little silly.

"Comrade Lin, I have heard of your name a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet you on the train today. You are so awesome. When I was a sophomore, I was studying next to the professor without knowing anything. "

I visited the SG Jingshi brand store you designed when I went out with my friend. It's really beautiful."

Lin Yilan tilted her chin and looked at Huo Hehang, who was praising herself. It was really interesting . .

"Comrade Lin, my classmates and I have said that we want to learn from you. I just don't know when we will be able to develop our own engine, and then like you, we can beat foreign designers and win projects."

Hochhang looked towards Her eyes seemed to be seeing stars, sparkling and admiring.

Lin Yilan was a little embarrassed by what he saw. She straightened her back and leaned against the partition, "Comrade Huo, you are exaggerating. I have never snatched projects from foreigners. Those are exaggerated statements in newspapers. "

And your aviation major is different from ours in architectural design. Although architectural design is different from foreign countries, the difficulty is completely different from your aviation research and design."

"From what you just said, you still study engines, and that's even more so." It’s getting even more difficult. They say the engine is the heart of the aircraft. The difficulty gap between you and us is not at the same level. You can’t compare me with you.”

The two of them talked back and forth for a long time on this topic.

One believes that the professional difficulty between the two cannot be compared, while the other strongly believes that there is no difference between the two majors.

After chatting for a while, the two finally looked at each other and laughed.

Huo Hehang held the cold towel in his hand, "Comrade Lin, I went to the toilet to wring out the towel."

Lin Yilan nodded, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of your luggage."

Wait until Huo Hehang leaves , she leaned against the bedside again, lying on the table in a daze.

This train is quite interesting.

I never expected to meet such interesting alumni.

Meeting interesting people makes a boring drive less boring.

For the next dozen hours, the two chatted for a long time about their majors.

Lin Yilan, a layman, finally had a general understanding of the current level of aircraft development.

And Huo Hehang also learned a lot about the history of architecture from Lin Yilan.

The time to arrive in Shanghai was five o'clock in the morning the next day.

When the flight attendant woke her up from bed early, Lin Yilan was still confused.

She sat up with her bird's nest-like hair on her head.

"Good morning, Comrade Lin."

Huo Hehang greeted Lin Yilan while sitting refreshed on the neatly made bed.

Lin Yilan blinked and said, "...Good morning, Comrade Huo."

Fortunately, the lights were not turned on yet. She took out the teapot, toothbrush and towel from her bag and put on her shoes silently.

"I'm going to wash up, hahaha..."

How embarrassing...

Lin Yilan smiled dryly and walked out of the private room.

Although she didn't want to admit that Huo Hehang's appearance was her type, she had to admit that she had a great time chatting with him yesterday.

After coming to this era for so long, Lin Yilan rarely met a boy she liked, and she still wanted to maintain her image.

Moreover, people admired her so much both inside and outside her words yesterday, so of course she couldn't let them down.

Well, that’s right!

Lin Yilan stood in front of the sink and quickly completed her morning wash.

She bared her teeth in the mirror and looked at her white teeth, showing a satisfied smile.

"Yes, very good, we are a beautiful girl again today."

"Pfft -"

"Sorry, Comrade Lin, I... came over to use the toilet."

Huo Hehang stretched out his hand to cover the smile on his lips and pointed He pointed to the toilet next to the sink.

Lin Yilan looked at him with black lines on her head, "...It's okay, just listen to it. It's not something shameful."

She walked away from Huo Hehang with a teapot in her face calmly. Return to the carriage.

After returning to the private room, she sat on the bed and packed her luggage without feeling embarrassed at all.

What's so embarrassing? Did she say something wrong?

If you want to embarrass her, Lin Yilan, over such a trivial matter, then you are underestimating her face.

ah!

So annoying.

Looking at the messed up cup, I felt like my toes were going to dig through my socks.

Although there were some social failures, Lin Yilan was still the same good guy after Huo Hehang came back.

She could calmly continue chatting with him about yesterday's topic without seeing anything wrong.

Soon, the train arrived in Shanghai.

This stop is the final stop, and all remaining passengers on the bus get off at this stop.

Lin Yilan stood behind Huo Hehang with her luggage, and prepared to get off the bus along with the others in the team.

"Comrade Huo, we'll see you again when we go back to school."

Huo Hehang was stunned for a moment and nodded, "When the teacher and I go back to school, I'll go to your architecture department to find you."

"I wish you a happy stay in Shanghai , Comrade Lin."

Lin Yilan smiled slightly, "I also wish you and your teacher good luck in your research! I hope I can get on the plane with the engine you designed soon."

"Comrade Huo

Hehang was shocked. He nodded very vigorously, as if making a promise.

"I will, thank you Comrade Lin."

After coming out of the station, Lin Yilan and Huo Hehang said goodbye and separated because their respective arrangements were different.

Looking at Huo Hehang's leaving figure, Lin Yilan didn't feel disappointed at all. She had her own affairs, and he had his own work, as they met by chance. It was normal for them not to be in the same direction.

When Huo Hehang's figure completely blended into the crowd and Lin Yilan couldn't distinguish it clearly, she turned around and went to the place where she and her uncle's comrades agreed to meet.

Looking at the middle-aged strange man holding a large white paper with his name written on it, Lin Yilan walked hesitantly in front of him.

"Uncle Yue?"

Yue Zhensheng put down the paper in his hand and took Lin Yilan's luggage.

"You are Jiangang's youngest daughter, right? You and your father have exactly the same temperament."

Lin Yilan's head was covered with black lines. This was the first time she heard this statement.

"Uncle Yue, have you met my father?"

Yue Zhensheng led Lin Yilan to the parking place of the train station. "When I was in the same army with your uncle, I often saw your father."

"This feeling of yours, She looks exactly the same as when I met your father. She is indeed your father's daughter. "

Does she have the same feeling as her father? ?

In terms of appearance, she doesn't look like her parents. It is said that she looks like her mother's grandmother.

After getting into Uncle Yue's car, Lin Yilan put on her seat belt and asked the previous question.

Yue Zhensheng turned the steering wheel and drove the car out of the parking lot.

"I still remember the first time I met your dad, he was still a teenage boy. At that time, everyone in the military compound had gone to watch a movie, and your dad was the only one sitting in the yard at home enjoying the cool air.

At that time, I I also asked your father why he didn't go to the movie. Your father replied that he was not happy. He didn't even open his eyes when he spoke. "

Lin Yilan could completely imagine what her father looked like when he said this . Her father is still like this to this day.

But now, because of what I have experienced before, I will not express my displeasure as directly as before, but I have learned to be roundabout and tactful.

But he still doesn't want to do things he doesn't want to do.

Yue Zhensheng glanced at the rearview mirror and saw her deep in thought, so he tried to change the subject. "Xiao Lin, when your uncle called me that day, he was full of praise for you, saying that you are now the most promising child among the younger generations of the old Lin family."

"Some time ago, I also read in the Shanghai newspaper Here’s your news. Xiaolin, I’ll be happy if you have a chance to meet some of your uncle’s children and have a good chat with them so that they can have some of your skills.

” During the period after reading the newspaper, she really listened to a lot.

At first, when these people praised her in front of her parents and grandparents, she was a little happy. After all, becoming a child that made her elders proud was something she had longed for for a long time.

But after hearing it too much, she became a little worried, fearing that she would be immersed in such praise and be flattered.

"Uncle Yue, my uncle is exaggerating when he says this. You are just as exaggerating as my uncle. My cousin is much more promising than me in defending the motherland in the army. This thing about me is really nothing compared to you and my cousin. What are you going to do?"

Lin Yilan recalled what her father had told her about the situation at Uncle Yue's house. "And I heard from my father that your eldest son is also a soldier in the army, and your daughter has even attended a military academy. Uncle Yue, your children are really better than me."

Her tone was particularly sincere when she said this. After all, she said it from the bottom of her heart, and polite words could not match it.

Yue Zhensheng also heard Lin Yilan's attitude. He took advantage of the red light and sighed with relief.

"Xiao Lin, uncle has heard so many people praise my uncle's children, but your words have not made me happy."

"I thank you on behalf of your uncle's brothers and sisters. But serving the people is what you should do. "

It's just that Lin Yilan doesn't understand why Yue Zhensheng's expression seems happy and a little melancholy.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the Huangpu River outside the window, and she immediately turned to look out the window.

It seemed to be not far from the dock port. She could see many ships floating on the sea in the distance. Scenes like this will be rare decades later.

After the completion of domestic railways and highways more than ten years later, river transport soon fell into disrepair.

Looking out the window, through the reflection of the glass, she saw the melancholy on Yue Zhensheng's face again.

Wait -

at this time, is the South Vietnam War not over yet? Uncle Yue's son couldn't be on the battlefield...

Thinking of Zhao Qiangjun, Lin Yilan fell silent for a moment.

"Beep - beep - beep -"

car horns sounded one after another.

Who is so anxious?

Just as he was about to turn around and look behind the car, the red light at the intersection turned into green.

Seeing the traffic flowing from east to west at the intersection, she realized that there were already so many cars in Shanghai so early.

"Uncle Yue, there are so many people driving in Shanghai, much more than in Beijing."

When Yue Zhensheng saw Lin Yilan's face turned, the worry on his face disappeared.

"Ah~ During the Republic of China, the Shanghai Stock Exchange gathered a large number of domestic wealthy businessmen. Now it has been opened. Although the policies of the Shanghai Stock Exchange are not as good as those of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, there are also many wealthy foreign businessmen who come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for inspection."

Lin Yilan said thoughtfully . Nodding thoughtfully.

The roads in Shanghai may also have better traffic control than those in Beijing because of the large number of vehicles.

The scenery receded quickly, and Lin Yilan lay beside the window and looked out at the scenery.

The dazzling array of European-style buildings allowed her to know that she was in Puxi without looking at a map or asking.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look east.

Although she saw nothing in the car, she could imagine that Pudong should still be an undeveloped and dilapidated area.

In the following decades of rapid development of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, I wonder if she can leave her mark on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Yue Zhensheng saw that Lin Yilan had not spoken for a while. He was worried that the car would be too quiet and make her feel cramped, so he found a topic.

"Xiao Lin, I read in the newspaper that you have done projects abroad, right?"

Lin Yilan immediately became excited when she mentioned her design.

"Yes, the design made in Denmark was completed some time ago and the opening ceremony was held."

Yue Zhensheng's heart moved. He glanced at Lin Yilan and joked: "Xiao Lin, do you have information about the Danish project? I'll let my uncle see it later. What are the differences between foreign buildings and our domestic ones?"

Lin Yilan nodded and patted the bag on her body, "Okay, when we arrive, I will take out the information and show it to Uncle Yue."

Yue Zhensheng was surprised at first, and then said with some joy: "Xiao Lin, did you take all the information with you? Didn't your uncle say that you were too busy last year, so you wanted to take a chance to rest? Why do you still carry your work with you?"

"I'm thinking that if I have the chance to meet someone looking for me to do a project. Uncle Yue, if I'm lucky and meet someone who wants to do design, how can I convince them to choose me if I don't have any information?" Lin Yilan nodded. Leaning against the car window, she always tries to be fully prepared when it comes to designing.

If you want to seize any opportunity, you must be well prepared.

This is one of Lin Yilan's life mottos.

But now that there is no USB flash drive, it is really troublesome for her to carry information all year round. Fortunately, she streamlined each project.

Some unimportant projects, some unimportant contents of important projects, were all eliminated by her.

The car soon stopped in front of a mid-range hotel in Shanghai.

Not far from this hotel is a hotel qualified to receive foreign guests.

After Lin Yilan got off the car, she saw several cars parked in front of the hotel not far away.

She looked at the style of the building. It looked like an apartment converted into a hotel, and the apartment was quite old.

The building volume is close to a triangle, and the top floor of the building gradually recedes from the middle.

Hmm... It should be a building from the Republic of China period.

When Yue Zhensheng got off the car, he saw Lin Yilan turning her head and looking not far away, "Xiao Lin, that is our famous Garden Hotel in Shanghai. It seems to be almost fifty years old now."

"You want to go? Are you staying there?" He asked worriedly when he saw her looking at the Garden Hotel without moving.

Lin Yilan shook her head, "No, I just think the design on the opposite side is quite interesting. I thought I could copy it if I have time."

She took out her luggage from the trunk, and then went to the hotel with her certificates and documents. Check-in information was processed at the front desk.

After getting the room card, Lin Yilan took out the information in the bag and handed it to Yue Zhensheng.

"Uncle Yue, please wait for me here for a while. I may have to clean up. I'm sorry."

Yue Zhensheng took the information and sent Lin Yilan to the stairs. "I... I have something I want to discuss with you later."

"Okay, okay, I'll bother Uncle Yue." Lin Yilan carried her luggage up to the third floor.

After taking the key and unlocking the door, she first checked whether the door lock was in good condition, then checked the hygiene of the room, then put her luggage away, washed her face, tied her hair back up, took her wallet and left.

When she returned to the first floor of the hotel, she found Uncle Yue sitting in the lobby and carefully looking at the information she had just left for him.

He didn't seem to react until she walked next to him.

"Uncle Yue."

Yue Zhensheng put down the information in his hand, "Ah, Xiao Lin, your design is so beautiful, I was fascinated."

"Uncle Yue, you are exaggerating, but thank you for praising my design." Lin Yilan Smile and nod.

After putting the materials on the coffee table back to their original state, Yue Zhensheng was about to return the project materials to Lin Yilan, but suddenly took them back.

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment when she saw his actions, and looked at Uncle Yue with some confusion.

Yue Zhensheng looked at the clock hanging at the front desk of the hotel, "Xiao Lin, all the breakfast shops on the street are open now. How about I treat you to breakfast?"

"I want to talk to you about something by the way." He also shook his hand. project information.

With this look, it would be easy for her to mistakenly think that Yue Zhensheng had ideas about her design and wanted to find her for design.

Is she so lucky?

Upon seeing this, Lin Yilan also changed her mind and followed Yue Zhensheng out of the hotel.

As the sun rises, there are more and more people on the street.

Bicycles that had not been seen before also appeared on the road, and there were more and more cars on the road.

Several breakfast shops were opened not far away, and the aroma of breakfast spread in the air along with the heat.

Lin Yilan followed Yue Zhensheng through the breakfast shop and walked to the door of a restaurant.

She stood at the door and looked up at the restaurant's sign. It looked like the things inside were not cheap.

"Uncle Yue, do we want to eat here?"

Yue Zhensheng nodded and opened the door of the hotel, "This hotel has the most classic breakfast in Shanghai. Xiaolin, you finally came here, of course you have to taste the most authentic one. " Let's go."

"Mr. Pei, this is our most authentic restaurant in Shanghai. The boss has been running this restaurant for decades. We are lucky enough to have a try with you today."

"Secretary Wang, you're welcome. " . If you didn't take us, we wouldn't be able to find this hotel."

"Yes, Secretary Wang, we are very grateful that you can come out to receive us despite your busy schedule."

"Come on, bosses. Please come in."

The voices of several people could be heard clearly by those sitting in the hotel lobby eating.

However, a girl in a suit hurriedly ran to Secretary Wang.

"Secretary Wang, the table in the hotel's private room was broken yesterday, and we haven't had time to repair it yet."

The sweat on Secretary Wang's forehead suddenly broke out. After he smiled at the others, he pulled the girl over and said, "There are other things here. Are there other private rooms?"

The girl in the suit shook her head anxiously, "No, because there are not many people going to the private rooms, their boss has decorated a private room, but it has not been used for many years. "It's repairing."

Secretary Wang took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "In this case, you can ask the boss if he can temporarily switch the tables in the lobby with the ones in the private room, and then change them for him after we finish breakfast. Come back."

The girl in the suit nodded in surprise, "Okay, Secretary Wang, I'm going to find the boss now."

But as soon as the girl in the suit turned around to look for the boss, she was caught by the youngest person in the group who was looking at the menu. Stopped.

"Madam!"

He first whispered something to the person next to him, and then walked to Secretary Wang's side.

"Secretary Wang, there's no need to go to such trouble. Let's just eat in the lobby."

"I just explained the situation to a few uncles. It just so happens that we also want to have breakfast with the people from the mainland."

Secretary Wang hurriedly told the man Apologizing, "Mr. Pei, I'm really sorry for the poor reception."

"Since some of you said so, let's sit down in the lobby first."

After confirming that these people had no objections, Secretary Wang immediately put the girl in the suit on He called back, "Hurry up and get some menus."

Upon hearing this, the girl in the suit immediately followed Secretary Wang's instructions.

This scene was seen by Lin Yilan who was sitting by the window in the lobby.

Seeing how fascinated she was, Yue Zhensheng turned back and glanced in the direction Lin Yilan was looking.

At this glance, he didn't expect to see the secretary to the secret king next to their city's top leader.

However, Secretary Wang was obviously busy with official duties, so he did not come forward to say hello.

But, did his comrade's niece Xiao Lin also recognize Wang Mi?

"Xiao Lin, have you met anyone you know?" he asked tentatively.

Lin Yilan looked away and shook her head, "No, I just heard that group of people speaking Cantonese, so I was a little curious."

I didn't expect that there would be Hong Kong businessmen visiting the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Yue Zhensheng thought of the contents of the previous city government meeting, and he looked over there again.

It is estimated that the boss of Hong Kong City came to visit.

Originally, this matter had something to do with their work unit, but the top leaders of the city government paid more attention to them. In the end, the city government was responsible for receiving these Hong Kong businessmen.

"Xiao Lin, I just said I wanted to talk to you about something. It just so happens that breakfast hasn't come yet. I have some questions to ask you."

Lin Yilan put down her tea cup and straightened her expression, "You tell me."

This is the rhythm for talking about serious matters.

Yue Zhensheng put the information Lin Yilan had just shown her in his hand, "Xiao Lin, I read your resume. You have indeed done several designs, but you have never been a designer for any large projects, right?"

She nodded, but explained herself.

"SG's Beijing brand store is not only an SG brand store, but the two floors above it are also temporarily used as SG's offices in the mainland. The entire brand store has three floors, but the actual height is four stories high."

Bian He said, pointing to the information Yue Zhensheng was holding under his hand.

"You can take a look at SG's design drawing. Although not all the details are shown, the first floor has a higher ceiling because it is a store."

Hearing this, Yue Zhensheng took out the information from the document bag again.

While the two were talking, Secretary Wang was leading a group of Hong Kong City bosses towards the table behind Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan put down her teacup, raised her head and met the person walking towards her.

But after she glanced around at everyone, she withdrew her gaze.

Looking at Yue Zhensheng who was flipping through information, Lin Yilan picked up the teapot next to him and filled his cup with hot water.

"Uncle Yue, do you have any architectural questions you want to ask me?"

Yue Zhensheng held the design drawings he had just found with a confused look on his face, "...right."

Lin Yilan saw his confusion and picked up the teacup. She smiled and said, "It's okay. You can read the information first."

In her eyes, Yue Zhensheng is no longer her uncle's comrade-in-arms, but a potential project partner.

She has always been very patient when dealing with clients.

She looked at the face reflected in the water in the cup and couldn't help but smile.

Just as she put down her water glass and looked up at the dining kitchen, a man in a suit suddenly rushed in front of her.

"Hey! Are you Miss Lin Yilan?"

Lin Yilan was so frightened that she leaned back, "Ah! Ah... yes, I am Lin Yilan, who are you?"

She patted her chest and breathed softly. , looking doubtfully at the middle-aged man who came across from her.

He is not very old, he looks to be in his forties, he is not tall, he is a little fat, and his hair, although not Mediterranean, is somewhat sparse.

Also, when he speaks, his accent is very awkward, unlike someone who often speaks Mandarin.

While she was analyzing in her mind, she took another serious look at his face and suddenly knew who he was.

The Hong Kong business owner who was standing with Secretary Wang just now.

The boss's movements not only startled Lin Yilan, but also others.

Yue Zhensheng was the most obviously frightened. He stood up and stood in front of Lin Yilan.

"Who are you, sir?"

The other Hong Kong business owners at the next table, as well as Secretary Wang and the girl in the suit came over one after another.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!"

The middle-aged man looked at the people around him and cupped his hands apologetically, and then walked up to Yue Zhensheng.

"This sir, I'm Liu Qianglin." He took out his business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Yue Zhensheng.

He handed another business card to Lin Yilan. He couldn't speak Mandarin well and was anxious to talk to Lin Yilan, so he had to use English. "My brother and I saw the news about Miss Lin in foreign newspapers before. I never thought that our country could have such an excellent designer like you."

"Last time my brother went back and told me that he had met you. "I didn't expect that I would meet you too. What a coincidence. I thought you were studying in Beijing."

Lin Yilan paused and glanced at the business card in his hand, "Head of Southeast Asia of Hongxing Group. "

Or is your surname Liu?

Sounds a bit familiar.

"Mr. Liu, who is your brother?"

Liu Qianglin cheered, "My brother is Liu Changxin, the chairman of Hongxing."

Lin Yilan thought for a long time and seemed to have some impression.

"I seem to remember Chairman Liu. I didn't expect to see Chairman Liu's brother today."

"Hello, Mr. Liu. Nice to meet you."

She extended her hand to Liu Qianglin and said hello. "Mr. Liu, I came to Shanghai to relax. I really didn't expect to meet someone who knows me."

Secretary Wang looked at Lin Yilan. He seemed to have some impression of her, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Others around Liu Qianglin leaned forward curiously and asked: "Mr. Liu, who is this? Let me introduce you."

Lin Yilan looked at these people with a smile, her eyes full of confusion.

She didn't understand Cantonese very well in her previous life, and because people like them spoke so fast, she couldn't understand it at all.

Liu Qianglin noticed Lin Yilan's confusion and quickly introduced them in English.

"This is Ms. Lin Yilan, a very outstanding young architectural designer in China. She has done a project in Denmark before, and she also designed the SG in the mainland."

"Ms. Lin, these are businessmen from Hong Kong City ."

He introduced Lin Yilan one by one with great enthusiasm.

"This is..."

...

until he stood next to the youngest one, his attitude was obviously more respectful than before.

"Mr. Pei, this is Miss Lin Yilan."

"Ms. Lin Yilan, this is Pei Yanjia, the vice president of Gangcheng Hengxin Group."

Lin Yilan raised an eyebrow at such a young vice president.

However, Hengxin Group also had a surname of Pei, so she seemed to have some guesses about his identity.

Lin Yilan stretched out her right hand as usual, "Hello, Mr. Pei, I am Lin Yilan."

The Pei Yan family gently held her hand and said in extremely standard Mandarin: "Ms. Lin, it is an honor to meet you. I am the Pei Yan family. "

Is Ms. Pei Jiashu yours?" Lin Yilan tried.

Pei Yan's family took their hands back and said, "It's my cousin. She attended the opening ceremony of SG Mainland some time ago."

Lin Yilan smiled knowingly.

No wonder he became the vice president of Hengxin Group at such a young age.

It seems that this is the son of the chairman of Hengxin Group.

Secretary Wang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but punch the only person present who was close to him, Yue Zhensheng.

"Secretary Yue, who is this? What is his relationship with you?"

Yue Zhensheng explained in a low voice: "It's Lin Yilan, the SG college student designer who was in the newspaper some time ago. My comrade's niece."

"She The uncle is Lin Jianjun."

Secretary Wang glanced at Yue Zhensheng blankly, who is Lin Jianjun?

Yue Zhensheng forgot that Secretary Wang didn't know much about the situation in the army, so he added another sentence.

"Her grandfather is a retired division commander in Beijing and came from the 115th Division."

Secretary Wang immediately understood the background of the seemingly inconspicuous lesbian in front of him.

A genius architect is not ordinary, and the granddaughter of a retired teacher is not ordinary either.

The two phases added together are very extraordinary.

On the other side, Lin Yilan and Liu Qianglin were having an extremely heated chat.

To be precise, it was under Liu Qianglin's initiative that the two of them could chat non-stop.

At the end of the chat, breakfast was served, and Liu Qianglin reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Yilan.

"Ms. Lin, you are in Shanghai during this period. If you are free, I will definitely find an opportunity to treat Miss Lin to a meal."

"Of course, if Miss Lin has new works in the future, I hope you can tell me. Say it to my brother."

Lin Yilan could not hide the surprise in her eyes.

She really didn't expect that anyone could like her work so much.

After achieving some success in my previous life, I saw a few fans online, but never in real life.

I have only made a few works in my life, and I am surprised that I have fans.

But when she thought about the "fan"'s brother's hobbies, she could understand.

He likes to pay attention to the powerful young people in China, and he also builds teaching buildings for domestic universities.

The reason why he pays so much attention to her is probably because of the blessing of such a filter.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I have supporters like you and Chairman Liu. As long as a new design comes out, I will definitely contact you."

Lin Yilan smiled gratefully.

The Pei Yan family stood watching this scene and glanced at Lin Yilan with interest.

He knew very well the hobbies of the two brothers Liu Changxin and Liu Qianglin, but to make them so enthusiastic, it seemed that Miss Lin was a bit powerful.

Lin Yilan was a little sensitive to people's gazes, and she immediately caught Pei Yanjia's eyes as he looked at her.

After discovering that it was Pei Yan's house, she just glanced at it lightly, then smiled politely and turned around to sit back in her previous seat.

It's just a stranger you meet by chance, don't pay too much attention to it.
