"This icon is the drawing menu. After clicking it, you can choose to draw straight lines, circles, rectangles and other graphics. The shortcut keys are these..."

Lao San Linli leaned against the studio door While looking at Lin Yilan who was instructing her colleagues on how to use the computer.

Sunlight passes through the window grilles, and the shadows of classical Chinese patterns fall on the ground, giving it an inexplicable sense of depth.

He folded his hands across his chest and leaned his head against the door frame.

Seeing his little sister's nimble fingers operating the computer keyboard, he was very pleased for a moment.

The person who has already made a career at such a young age and is so outstanding and hard-working is his little sister Lin Li.

He felt particularly proud when he thought that Lin Yilan was the fifth child in their family.

But the pride in his heart was now tainted with a faint shadow.

Lin Li stood behind Lin Yilan for a long time, until the sun slowly rose, he sighed softly, then turned and left.

Because Lin Yilan was busy with teaching, she never felt anyone looking at her behind her.

It wasn't until lunchtime when she came out of the studio and planned to find her third brother, Lin Li, to have lunch with them that she realized that her third brother was missing.

"Third brother?"

"Third brother-"

"Lin Laosan! Lin Li!!"

I shouted in the yard for a long time, but there was no response.

In desperation, she had no choice but to run to the door of the guest room where Lin Li stayed last night and knocked on the door.

"Brother? Are you there?"

"Lin Li, are you sleeping?"

"The sun is shining on your butt, get up!!!"

The voice got louder and louder, and the knocking on the door got louder and louder, but there was no response inside. .

Lin Yilan was a little anxious for a moment. She pushed the door open hard, but almost tripped.

"I'm going..."

She thought the third brother had locked the door to her room, but it turned out that it wasn't locked, which made her a little embarrassed now.

As soon as she entered the third brother's guest room, Lin Yilan realized that something was wrong.

Why does the guest room look so neat and tidy? There is nothing. It seems that the bathroom was cleaned before leaving the guest room.

Lin Yilan walked to the bed, half-opened her eyes, and quietly opened a corner of the quilt.

"Eh?"

"Where is the person? Why is there no one?"

Lin Yilan looked at the empty bed under the quilt and looked around the room in confusion.

Until she saw what seemed to be a note on the table, she threw away the quilt and walked to the desk.

[Xiao Wu, Third Brother has something to do at work, so I'm going back first. Don't read it. ——Third Brother Lin Li]

? ? ?

Why are you going back in such a hurry?

Lin Yilan picked up the note, looked back at the empty room, and then walked out of the guest room.

In busy days, time flies by.

After a while, I looked up at the calendar again. It was already the end of August.

As for the engineering design of this project, because everyone on the project team was slowly starting to learn it for the first time, the drawing time took one week longer than she planned.

One of the reasons why Lin Yilan took colleagues from the design team back and forth to revise the design drawings.

However, the design drawings were finally completed before September.

Considering that she is about to celebrate her fifth year and start school. Even though they have to do internships at the beginning of this semester, they still have to take the leave they should.

Lin Yilan first went back to school to get a leave note, and then took Wang Liming on the plane to Hong Kong City.

"Teacher Lin, my current Cantonese level can only meet my basic needs in Hong Kong City." Wang Liming put down the class notes in his hand distressedly.

After a month of learning, he went from a novice who knew nothing to someone who could find the police when he got lost in a Cantonese-speaking area and could order food in a restaurant.

But if he is asked to discuss projects with other people, he can only say sorry.

Lin Yilan put down the newspaper in her hand, "It's okay, we have our engineering consultant for this project."

"Wang Gong, I asked you to come over. In addition to helping me keep an eye on the modifications to the design drawings, I also want you to help I supervise the construction on site."

She explained clearly to Wang Liming.

"My previous situation in Gangcheng was not very good, and the owner of this project is in an even more difficult situation than me in Gangcheng. I don't have anyone I can trust in Gangcheng, so I want to ask you for help."

Lin Yilan rubbed her temples and told Wang Liming what Liang's firm had done. By the way, I also introduced the owner of their project, Ms. Qiu.

Along the way, Wang Liming listened to Lin Yilan talk about her experiences in Hong Kong City, and her expression seemed to have lost control.

Could a place as developed as a port city be so chaotic?

During the four hours on the plane, the two of them had no time to spare. They kept discussing the project and things related to the project.

When Wang Liming got off the plane, he felt that he was no longer the person he was before getting on the plane, full of expectations and going out to see the world, but a cautious and cautious person who always felt that someone was trying to harm him.

"Kate, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you and Ms. Qiu this month?"

Finding Kate standing outside the exit, Lin Yilan and Wang Liming came forward to say hello.

"This is Engineer Wang Liming that I mentioned to you before, and he was also the chief engineer of several of my previous projects. Of course, he is also the engineer of our art museum this time."

Kate said hello to Lin Yilan first, and then went to Wang Liming He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang. I am Kate, Ms. Qiu's assistant."

Wang Liming nodded lightly and held Kate's hand. "Hello, Ms. Kate, nice to meet you."

Fortunately, Mr. Lin said before He was reminded on the plane that the staff around Ms. Qiu spoke Mandarin well, otherwise he would be embarrassed at the airport.

However, I didn’t expect that the people around Ms. Qiu could speak Mandarin so well, and there was no accent at all.

Eight hundred thoughts flew through his mind, but the expression on Wang Liming's face remained calm.

This trick was learned from him and Lin Yilan.

When he followed them to the parking lot and found Qiu Xiuzhen's car, the expression on his face became completely unbearable.

He turned to look at Lin Yilan, covered his mouth with his hand, lowered his voice and asked, "Does this exaggerated car belong to our project owner?"

Lin Yilan gave Wang Liming an approving look and nodded lightly. head.

"You guessed it right."

Wang Liming's mouth twitched as he got into the car.

Soon, he was distracted by the bustling high-rise buildings on the streets of Hong Kong City.

"Master Lin, when can I work with you on a project like this?" He pointed to a high-rise office building not far away.

Lin Yilan glanced out the window and said, "Wang Gong, your mentality is very bad. Do all of you parents think this way? You must learn to motivate yourself and work hard!"

"You should say when, Let our team take advantage of you as an engineer to participate in a super high-rise office building project like this."

Wang Liming's mouth dropped and he could hardly catch it. His eyes widened and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were stretched. .

He pointed at her and himself, "Master Lin, you really have confidence in me."

Lin Yilan replied with a fake smile, "Both each other."

Seeing Wang Liming finish her "joke" , after feeling relaxed, Lin Yilan turned to look out the window and smiled lightly.

When the car drove into Deep Water Bay, Wang Liming, who had never seen the sea, had his face pressed against the car window.

The complicated expression on his face did not disappear until he got off the car.

"I finally understand why so many people want to go abroad or come to Hong Kong. Compared with the mainland, it's really better here."

Lin Yilan curled her lips and patted Wang Liming's arm, "Then you Make good money and take your wife and children to Hong Kong for a trip."

Wang Liming nodded enthusiastically, "Okay."

Lin Yilan glanced at Wang Liming. She always knew why there were so many people in their thirties and forties in the mainland. I still simply think that I can make money no matter what I do overseas, and then live a "good life" like a master.

I hope he still feels this way after staying in Hong Kong City for a week.

Returning to Qiu Xiuzhen's villa in Deep Water Bay again, Lin Yilan looked at this familiar place, feeling no joy at returning to her old place, only the urgency to get to work quickly.

After she put down her luggage, she heard a familiar knock on the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll be here, Butler Wang."

She took off her bag, put it on the table, and opened the door.

"What's the matter? Butler Wang."

The butler bowed and said hello to her, "Ms. Lin, Ms. Qiu is waiting for you in the study. I asked you to go to her with the design drawings."

Lin Yilan made an OK gesture. , "I'll come right away."

Lin Yilan took out the thick design drawing from the suitcase, followed the housekeeper up to the third floor, and entered Qiu Xiuzhen's study.

"My dear, I haven't seen you for a month. I miss you so much."

Qiu Xiuzhen was still the same when she came up and gave her a warm hug.

Lin Yilan laughed a few times and said, "I miss you too."

After Qiu Xiuzhen let go of her, she pulled her to sit on the sofa next to her, and then took away the drawings in her arms.

"Are these drawings all for our project?"

Lin Yilan nodded, "Yes, but they haven't been reviewed by the consultant, so they can't be completely finalized yet."

Qiu Xiuzhen didn't just follow Lin Yilan's thoughts. He turned over a few pages and read them carefully, page after page.

It seems that a lot of things happened during the month she was away from Hong Kong City.

Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, took a sip of the milk brought by the servant.

Qiu Xiuzhen looked at the drawings more carefully than she thought. Not only did she read every page carefully, but she also walked up to her from time to time and asked her questions.

By the time Qiu Xiuzhen finished reading them all, it was already sunset.

Qiu Xiuzhen took a sip of coffee, walked to the study window, and watched the sunset on the sea.

"Xiao Lin, when you come back this time, in addition to the projects of the art museum that you are responsible for keeping an eye on, I have one more thing to give you."

Lin Yilan stood up and walked to Qiu Xiuzhen, "Ms. Qiu, tell me."

Qiu Xiuzhen Turning around and leaning against the wall, "Xiao Lin, have you ever been exposed to the real estate market?"

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment, and she said thoughtfully: "It seems that there were export houses in the Shanghai stock market in the 1980s. It can be regarded as a small player in the mainland real estate market. " As for overseas, housing prices seem to be rising in recent years. Isn't there news about people in Hong Kong becoming rich through real estate speculation?"

Qiu Xiuzhen nodded with satisfaction, "It seems you don't know anything about real estate. Do you still remember the Miss Du I took you to the club last time?"

Lin Yilan's heart beat loudly. She nodded, "Yes."

"The two of us plan to open a business together. The real estate company now gives you an opportunity to try to provide a design plan for our company."

Qiu Xiuzhen walked to the desk, rummaged through the information on the desk, and found a blue folder. Passed it to Lin Yilan.

"This is a test question. As long as you pass this test, Miss Du and I will appoint you as the design director of our real estate company.

How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Lin Yilan looked at the blue folder in front of her and raised her head. Qiu Xiuzhen showed an extremely confident smile.

"Of course, I will never let go of such an opportunity. What I love most is a challenge." After saying that, she took the folder from Qiu Xiuzhen's hand.

The setting sun outside the window, as time passed, happened to fall on Lin Yilan at this time.

For a moment, the reflected sunlight made Qiu Xiuzhen feel a little dazzling.

But she didn't feel unhappy at all, instead she smiled even happier.

Because she saw Lin Yilan's vigorous ambition.

Only ambitious people will try their best to give an answer of 120 points when the perfect score is 100 points.

Qiu Xiuzhen has never been afraid of ambitious partners. On the contrary, what she fears most is that her partners are unambitious.

As a famous "widow" in Hong Kong City, what she has been pursuing all her life is to continuously satisfy her ambitions.

Even if she was looked down upon in the process, in the end those who looked down on her still had to greet her respectfully when they saw her.

Now, her biggest ambition is to break away from the shackles of the Liu family.

The real estate company working with Du Jiaxin allowed her to see opportunities, but it was not enough. She wants her real estate company to be an instant success, so she has to use a clever trick.

And this strange move is Lin Yilan.

Now it depends on whether Lin Yilan can accept this pie falling from the sky.

Whether Lin Yilan is knocked unconscious by the cake or eats all the cakes depends on her own ability.

It's just...

Qiu Xiuzhen never thought that Lin Yilan was a person with more ambitions than her.

The only thing to blame is Lin Yilan, who usually disguises herself too well.

Lin Yilan held the folder in her arms and walked out of the study with a calm expression.

He returned to the room with a calm face.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, she leaned against the wall and slowly slid the folder to the floor with her arms in her arms.

Why is she so lucky? As expected of a person who wears books, he still has some luck in him.

When she really needed something, someone would give her something.

Lin Yilan put the folder on the ground and opened it slowly.

Doesn’t the Liao family want to enter the construction industry in Hong Kong City and engage in real estate business?

She wanted their Liao family's later real estate business to be aborted this time.

As for the design director Qiu Xiuzhen mentioned, Lin Yilan didn't care, because she wanted far more than that...

The setting sun was hidden in the ocean, and the moonlight was scattered from the sky.

There was no light on in Lin Yilan's room.

But the eyes of the room owner were surprisingly bright in the darkness.

Early the next morning, Lin Yilan wore sportswear and opened the door.

It’s still the same morning exercise routine as before.

The Qiu family servants, who had long been familiar with her routine, were also observing Lin Yilan's movements in the yard not far away while cleaning and preparing breakfast.

"Do you think Miss Lin is in a good mood today?"

"Yes? I didn't notice it."

"She ran a little faster today than before."

"So something good happened?"

"I heard that Qiu The lady's art museum is finally ready to start construction. "

...That's why Miss Lin is so happy. If it were me, I would be happy too."

When Wang Liming came out of the room on the first floor, she saw Lin Yilan already sitting at the dining table. It's breakfast.

He rubbed his eyes and yawned again.

"Did you take a shower after exercising?"

Lin Yilan stuffed a mouthful of bread into her mouth and nodded.

"I really admire your habit of exercising. I have traveled to so many places with you, and you can persevere no matter where you go. Master Lin, I want to learn from you." Wang Liming picked up the bread on the table and ate it slowly got up.

Lin Yilan picked up the milk and took a sip. "Whether you are a designer or an engineer, these are useless professions. If I don't have good health, how can I still create designs when I'm old and at the peak of my career?"

Wang Liming was almost killed by her. Choking on his words, he picked up the milk next to him and drank most of the glass.

"Are you starting to plan for the future now?"

"It's important to plan ahead." Lin Yilan shook her finger.

After she drank up the rest of the milk, she pushed away the chair and stood up.

"Gong Wang, I'm done eating. You continue to eat."

"I'll go back to the room to change clothes first. After you finish eating, we'll take the drawings and go to see the engineering consultant."

Wang Liming made an OK gesture.

The whole process of taking Wang Liming to meet Bao Nini went very smoothly, to the point where Lin Yilan had some doubts about life.

It can only be said that the two of them are indeed people in the same professional field. Even if the language is not fluent, they can understand each other's meaning even if they speak like a chicken.

Seeing that the two of them were communicating so smoothly, Lin Yilan stood up and said hello.

"I have something to do. I'll leave for a while and come back to you in half an hour, okay?"

Wang Liming and Bao Nini both made a go-go gesture to her without raising their heads.

After coming out of Bao Nini's bakery, Lin Yilan did not go to the Autumn Department Store in front, but continued deeper into the alley in the back.

After walking around twice, I found a small alley with a lot of people and stopped.

Lin Yilan's eyes looked back and forth at various food stalls and vegetable stalls, and then she saw the place she was looking for at a glance.

"Hello, boss, how much does it cost to make a phone call for one minute?"

The owner of the store pulled down his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose and gestured to her.

She nodded, picked up the phone next to her and started dialing.

"Hey, Er Sheng is me."

Wang Er Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Lin, you have finally returned to Hong Kong City. The Liao family's company has been making big moves recently."

Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, "What big move?"

Wang Ersheng lowered his voice and covered the microphone with his hand, "Recently, Hengxin took over a piece of land from the British Hong Kong government and planned to build a port terminal. In order to speed up the construction, Hengxin planned to subcontract the business to various companies. And Liao Jingming established it not long ago We have established a construction company, just to win part of the Hengxin Wharf project.

"So now all the attention and energy of the Liao family is focused on the Hengxin business."

Lin Yilan rubbed the phone in her hand, "According to their plan. With strength, it shouldn’t be that easy to win Hengxin’s business, right?”

“Yes, so the Liao family is trying their best. I drove the third wife to the golf club a few days ago, and they brought a lot of gifts. In order to open up relationships with others."

Wang Ersheng told Lin Yilan everything he knew.

"By the way, the Liao family was still looking for the original wife's child before, but now they have put it aside for the time being because of the Hengxin incident.

Some time ago, the people sent by the second wife's brother to the mainland seemed to have been arrested, so they have nothing to do now. News."

Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, finally there was good news.

"Then the third wife still goes to the same places as before?"

Wang Ersheng pondered for a moment, "Absolutely. It's just that recently because of Hengxin's business, she went to golf clubs more often."

Lin Yilan put her hand into her bag , touched the business card holder in the bag.

"Okay, I understand."

"Er Sheng, is there anything else going on with the Liao family?"

Wang Ersheng shook his head and lowered his voice, "No. Sister, someone is coming. I'll hang up first."

"Okay. , Hang up. The method of contacting me is the same as before."

"Okay."

Lin Yilan put down the phone and paid the phone bill to her boss.

When she returned to Bao Nini's bakery, she found that Wang Liming and Bao Nini had disappeared.

She quickly found Bao Nini's lover, "Jack, where did Nini and Wang Sheng go?"

Jack pointed to the staff lounge not far away, "The two of them were too noisy before, and the guests complained."

Good guy . ...

I was complained by customers in my own store, how noisy it is.

Lin Yilan glanced at Jack apologetically, "I'm sorry, it affects your business."

"It's okay, they were having fun chatting. Many customers just came to the store to buy bread just to watch the two of them quarreling." Jack shook his head nonchalantly.

Lin Yilan felt like her forehead was covered with black lines caused by this mess.

After she continued to chat with Jack for a few words, she went to the employee lounge to find the two engineers.

"I don't think it's necessary to use such thick steel bars here. You can replace them with thin ones!"

"Engineer Bao Nini, I strongly disagree with your opinion. For the safety and quality of the building, this type of steel bars must be used."

"Are you here? What to say?”

“...I said, NO!”

This topic seems inappropriate for her as a designer.

Lin Yilan nodded secretly, stood on tiptoes, stepped lightly, and turned to leave the employee lounge.

"Lin!"

"Master Lin——"

The two people behind him called in unison, causing Lin Yilan to freeze on the spot.

She tapped her forehead in frustration.

Why are you back so early?

What are you doing in the staff room?

If she had known she would rather be outside basking in the sun, she would not have come in to get involved in this mess.

She smiled naively and turned around, looking at Wang Liming and Bao Nini.

"What are you calling me for?"

Bao Nini stepped forward, took Lin Yilan's hand, and dragged her to the table.

"Lin, which model do you want for the steel bars here?"

Lin Yilan lowered her head and glanced at the drawing, then at the draft paper. When she saw the draft paper full of formulas and numbers, she immediately felt her eyes hurt.

"That... two engineers, me!" She pointed at her face, "I am an architectural designer!!! Designer, do you understand?!"

"I am only responsible for art and creation. As for civil engineering, Sorry, I can't do it." She cupped her hands and bent down to sneak away.

But Bao Nini rushed forward and grabbed her arm like a monkey fishing for the moon.

Then he held her face with both hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, Lin, it's okay if you don't know how to calculate. You can be the translator for me and Wang here."

Wang Liming nodded as if he understood.

Lin Yilan sat helplessly between the two of them, looking at the drawings on the table with a look of despair.

God, she was most afraid of giving justice to the engineer.

If she could, she would draw ten design drawings instead of arguing with two engineers about engineering drawings all afternoon.

When we entered the bakery, the sun was still in the east of the sky.

When we came out of the bakery, the sun was already half hidden in the ocean.

Lin Yilan pressed the protruding blood vessels on her forehead and walked out of the employee lounge with dizzy eyes.

As the day went by, she felt as if her body had become a lot heavier.

The soul can no longer hold its skin.

And the two people behind her were still in high spirits and radiant.

"Wang, the suggestion you just made is very good. I think we can do an experiment to test it."

"OK, I will tell Master Lin then that she will help us find a way."

"Lin is really a good person."

"I think so too. The person I am most grateful to in my life is Master Lin."

Lin Yilan, who was walking at the front, was not happy at all because she heard other people's words of praise. She rolled her eyes and floated to the store like a wandering spirit. He sat on the empty seat in the room, and then slumped down on the chair.

Upon seeing this, Jack brought a cake and placed it in front of Lin Yilan.

"Lin, eat something sweet and you will feel better." The tone was full of sympathy and pity.

Lin Yilan waved her hand and said feebly: "Thanks, Jack. I'll give you the money for the cake later."

Just as Jack was about to say no, he saw Lin Yilan scooping out a quarter of the cake with a spoon, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food . Cake, stuffed into mouth.

"O...M...G!"

When Bao Nini came over, Jack gave her a reproachful look and turned back to the cashier.

Bao Nini asked Lin Yilan with a confused look on her face, "Jack, what's wrong with him? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Yilan's mouth was bulging, and her voice became much muffled.

"Maybe you think you are abusing children."

"Child? Where did the child come from?"

Wang Liming looked around confused.

Lin Yilan fiercely stuffed a mouthful of cake into her mouth. If she talks nonsense to these two people again, she will be a pig! ! !

In the next few days, Lin Yilan went to work full of energy every day and spent her time after get off work feeling weak.

Every night when she returned to Qiu Xiuzhen's house for dinner, the housekeeper and servants were frightened by the state of her eating.

The housekeeper even reported the situation to Qiu Xiuzhen, and asked Qiu Xiuzhen to ask the family doctor to come to Lin Yilan's home to see if she was sick.

In response to this, Qiu Xiuzhen burst into laughter after learning the full story. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt for more than an hour.

Lin Yilan could only say that she deserved it.

Fortunately, after such days continued for five more days, Lin Yilan was finally liberated.

"Finally, I don't have to be a sounding board for you two." She looked at the two engineers in front of her with tears in her eyes. "In the future, one of you will learn Mandarin and the other will learn Cantonese. Promise me, okay?"

Wang Liming said sarcastically. She nodded, "Master Lin, don't worry, I can speak Hong Kong much better than before."

Bao Nini also nodded very sincerely, "Lin, I have learned a lot of Mandarin from Wang recently. Believe me, I will be able to use it soon. I’ll communicate with you in Mandarin.”

Lin Yilan waved her hand nonchalantly, and they could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn’t bother her.

After the engineering drawings were finalized, they were ready to start the next phase of work.

However, after being busy for so long, the three of them decided to take an intermission.

The three of them sat in a candy shop near the bakery to cool down and quench their thirst, chatting along the way.

Lin Yilan stirred the contents of the bowl with a spoon and chatted with Bao Nini.

"Nini, did Hengxin recently take a piece of land from the Hong Kong government to build a port?"

Bao Nini smacked her lips happily, "Yes. I didn't expect Lin, you would be so concerned about the situation in the port city. "

If possible, I would like to pay attention to the news about the construction industry from all over the world," Lin Yilan shrugged and said helplessly.

She poked at the Guiling paste in the bowl and blinked, "Do you know much about this project?"

Bao Nini wiped her mouth with paper, "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from friends that the internal structure of Hengxin is We plan to divide this project into several major categories, and then subdivide them according to each major category. After all, this port is a piece of meat. Which construction company

in the port city doesn't want to take a bite?

Someone has been sent to contact Hengxin."

Lin Yilan nodded thoughtfully, "Looking at it this way, this project should be a popular project in Hong Kong City in recent years.

And I'm telling you, this project. Do you know what’s different from Hengxin’s previous projects?” Bao Nini lowered her voice and waved to Lin Yilan mysteriously.

Lin Yilan also moved forward, "Tell me."

Bao Nini covered her mouth with her hand, "This project is the first port project that the Pei family's crown prince is responsible for."

"There are rumors that the Pei family's old man , Hengxin’s chairman, wants to use this project to investigate him. If the Pei family prince successfully completes this project, Hengxin’s future port and terminal business will be handed over to him. "

Lin Yilan lowered her eyes and then made a surprised expression.

"I didn't expect that the chairman valued Vice President Pei so much. Taking over Hengxin's port business is equivalent to taking over one of the pillars of Hengxin."

Bao Nini gave her an appreciative look, "I can't see that you are so Understand the situation in Hong Kong City."

Lin Yilan spread her hands, "When I was bored, I read a lot of magazines smuggled from Hong Kong City to the mainland. They were all about gossip about the rich people in Hong Kong City.

" Do you know the bidding method for this project of Hengxin Group?"

Bao Nini slapped her thigh, "Lin, you are so smart."

"The specific bidding method has not been released yet, but I heard that the Pei family prince plans to open the bidding. ." After saying that, she kept smacking her lips.

When Wang Liming heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan gave him a reassuring look.

Bao Nini pinched the tissue in her hand and asked curiously: "Lin, do you want to participate in the bidding?"

Lin Yilan explained dumbfounded, "Why should I bid? The general design of their port has been out for a long time. I can't even bid.

What's more, I've never designed a building like a port or dock."

She lowered her head and ate the sugar water in her bowl. "I'm just curious."

Bao Nini said . Ran nodded, "I understand you, I also gossip. Hahahaha..."

On the way back to the Deep Water Bay Villa, Lin Yilan sat in the car without saying a word.

She took out her business card holder from her bag and found Pei Yan's business card.

After hearing the news about Wang Ersheng and Bao Nini, Lin Yilan thought of a good way to get close to the third wife of the Liao family without being suspected by her.

It's just that this method...is not that ethical.

After the car parked in the garage of Qiu Xiuzhen's Deep Water Bay villa, Lin Yilan and Wang Liming got out of the car.

"Master Lin, have Ms. Qiu approved the interior design drawings of the art museum?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Wang Liming found a topic to chat with Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan put aside the Liao family's affairs and focused on the project.

"Ms. Qiu has already agreed to the overall design of the interior. Some specific details still need to be modified."

"But don't worry, the modifications will not affect your engineering drawings. It is just the design of some furniture and lamps. , Ms. Qiu and I are still discussing. "

Although the interior design is not so closely related to the engineering drawings of the project, a building like the Art Museum has very high requirements for lighting, such as wiring, sockets, lighting installation locations, etc. inside the building. All need to be determined in advance.

Wang Liming thought of the strange-shaped furniture he had seen in Beijing before and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Will your 'Rubik's Cube' series of furniture also be produced by the Jingshi Furniture Factory?"

Lin Yilan nodded, "Of course, we have signed a contract."

"You have discussed it with the furniture factory's engineers. What is the level of craftsmanship in furniture production? The furniture you designed is too 'innovative', and the furniture factory may not be able to produce it, and the production may not be consistent with the standards on the drawings." Wang Liming reminded her.

He was afraid that when the art museum project was completed, the interior furniture would not be in place, which would cause trouble.

Even if a building is innovative and beautiful on the outside, if the inside is empty and has nothing, it will still make people feel dull.

Having been in Hong Kong City for so long, he also knows Lin Yilan's current situation.

If this project is not done well, her future career development in Hong Kong City will be seriously affected. Originally, Lin Yilan had not received any projects in the mainland for more than a year.

As someone who has received help from Lin Yilan, Wang Liming hopes that things will go smoothly for her more than many people.

Even if she had not helped him, as a senior in the construction industry, he did not want to see a construction genius who finally emerged from the mainland be buried because of this.

"Xiao Lin, I understand that you want to help the development of related industries in the mainland construction industry, but don't affect your future for them."

Wang Liming stopped and stood in the shade of a tree and looked back at Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan smiled with relief and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for your concern. Director Guang told me a long time ago about the difficulty of producing the furniture this time. I also asked the furniture factory to try to make it after the furniture design drawings came out as soon as possible. One.

Although the result is not satisfactory, as long as they improve the production process and produce exactly the same furniture according to the drawings, there will be no problem."

Wang Liming was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise, "She is indeed the idol of most of our project team. When I was in Beijing, I was busy teaching us how to draw on the computer and learn Cantonese. After revising the design drawings, I still had time to supervise the work in the furniture factory.

"Xiao Lin, how did you do it?"

"You worked hard to do it." He spread his hands helplessly.

Wang Liming sighed, "There is no need to push yourself so hard. In the future, if you need help with anything, please contact me, Xiao Chang, and other people in the team. Everyone will be happy to help you."

Lin Yilan made an OK gesture and then joked, "But the value of being busy is the value of being busy. This time the new series of furniture is produced, and dividends are indispensable."

Wang Liming stared at her speechlessly for a while, and raised his eyebrows . A thumbs up.

"When it comes to making money, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Yilan bowed modestly.

When the two returned to the villa, a refreshing coolness hit their faces.

Wang Liming put on her slippers and put her shoes in the shoe cabinet. "Master Lin, have you communicated with Ms. Qiu about your furniture?"

His "big housekeeper" character emerged again.

Originally, Wang Liming was not said to be a hands-off boss in the project, but he didn't worry about anything other than his full-time job.

But after doing several projects with Lin Yilan, I don't know how I developed such a character.

Lin Yilan is also used to letting Wang Liming arrange other administrative work besides project design.

She changed into slippers and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

"I haven't said it yet. But when I signed the contract, because it didn't specify that Ms. Qiu would definitely let me be responsible for the interior design of the art museum, I only stated that as long as I design the furniture, I must cooperate. "The furniture factory produces it."

Wang Liming wiped the water on his hands, "Then you should tell Ms. Qiu earlier. I think there are many people in Hong Kong City who seem to be interested in using things made in the mainland."

"Don't worry, I will do it today. " "It just so happened that I had an appointment with Ms. Qiu to discuss the interior design of the art museum this evening." Lin Yilan nodded gratefully.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Yilan walked around the yard a few times as a post-meal digestion exercise. Seeing that it was almost time, she went to the study on the third floor to find Qiu Xiuzhen.

"Ms. Qiu, can I come in?" After saying that, Lin Yilan knocked on the door.

Qiu Xiuzhen closed the folder in her hand and said, "Come in."

Lin Yilan opened the door, walked into the study, and sat in the same seat where she had been sitting every time before.

"Ms. Qiu, I came here today to discuss with you the interior design of the art museum. We had already set the overall tone of the interior design before, but there were still some small details that we didn't explain clearly. Today we will design this piece Are you sure?"

Qiu Xiuzhen nodded, put the folder aside, and took out the interior design drawings of the art museum project.

"I have no objections to the design of the exhibition hall. Just the design of the office. I hope you can design it more artistically."

Lin Yilan took a pen and wrote down Qiu Xiuzhen's request in her notebook, "For example... you What kind of art do you want?"

Qiu Xiuzhen pondered for a moment, with a very confused expression.

She picked up the drawing and walked next to Lin Yilan, "As for the design of the staff office, I think it is too similar to the office design in other office buildings. It doesn't have the atmosphere of an art museum."

...

Why did Ms. Qiu suddenly suddenly Come on this one too.

She is most afraid of communicating with customers and the customers say it doesn’t feel right.

Lin Yilan looked down at the drawings and pondered.

"Ms. Qiu, our art museum this time is a modern art museum. Considering the layout of the office, the current design is the most reasonable. But if you want to be more artistic, I can add some modern styles to the office. Decoration, or redesigning a set of office furniture according to the style of the showroom?

"But if you want to redesign the furniture, the budget may increase later."

Lin Yilan originally wanted to buy ready-made, which would be cheaper. After all, the project budget was about to exceed the target, and she was very uneasy.
