Chapter 112, Chapters 243 and 244 There

was a "click" sound, and a burst of white smoke floated out, accompanied by the smell of nicotine.

Jian Huahan put down the lighter in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly blew out the smoke from his mouth.

"Director Lin, you deserve to be the designer of so many large projects at such a young age. You can easily figure out the owner's thoughts."

He turned to the door and said loudly, "Come in."

Du Jiaxin and Lin Yilan They all turned to look at the door of the box.

I saw a young man walking in carrying a briefcase and walking until he was next to Jian Huahan.

"Director Jian."

Jian Huahan nodded, "Give the information to Mr. Du and Director Lin."

"Okay."

Lin Yilan took the folder from the young man's hand and read it.

At the same time, Jian Huahan casually introduced the identity of this young man, "He is my assistant, you can call him Abel."

After hearing the name, Lin Yilan raised her head and glanced at Jian Huahan's assistant.

Then he looked down at the folder he brought.

The information inside was different from what Lin Yilan thought. It was not Jian Huahan's requirements for the project, but the bills Jian Huahan had recently proposed. Some of them had been passed by the parliament, and some were still being reviewed and approved by the parliament.

But what does this have to do with them?

Lin Yilan hurriedly scanned it and looked up at Jian Huahan. "What does Director Jian mean?"

Jian Huahan flicked the ash from the cigarette in his hand against the ashtray, "Director Lin, do you know what I like most about you among so many designers?

" He took a puff of cigarette and said, "Among the many designers I have seen, you are the one who is most likely to attract media attention. Whether it is your design or you.

So I will give you that piece of land and ask you to give it to me ." A completely novel design, Lin Yilan’s design will catch everyone’s attention the first time they see it.”

“And I want your design to be in line with what I have proposed recently. "

Understand?" He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and slowly took out the last puff of smoke.

Lin Yilan stared at Jian Huahan for a while, then lowered her head and flipped through the folder in her hand again.

Seeing this, Du Jiaxin quickly said: "Director Jian, if nothing else, Director Lin's creativity and novelty in architectural design are definitely among the best in Hong Kong. You can rest assured about this."

Jian Huahan nodded. , seeming to agree, "Of course I know. If I hadn't had the chance to see the design drawings of your latest Hengchang project, I wouldn't have wasted so much time on your company."

"Mr. Du, speaking of which, wait After your Hengchang project starts pre-sale, please leave me two apartments. The community designed by your company looks really good, and everyone around me likes it.

By the way, Director Lin, the kindergarten will also be troublesome . If you design more green plants, it will make people feel comfortable."

After that, he greeted Lin Yilan who was reading the information.

Lin Yilan put down the folder in her hand, "Director Jian, I can handle this project. But if you want to achieve the results you expect, I'm afraid you can't just rely on my design and so-called fame."

Her eyes did not change because of this . Jian Huahan's calculations were turned cold. To her, no matter what the reason for choosing her, she would always have the same attitude towards the owners who approached her for projects.

It's just that Jian Huahan is the kind of customer she has met in her life, which is not very easy to deal with.

If she hadn't guessed, Kan Wa-han had no intention of changing posts during the Hong Kong government's change of office this time, but wanted to continue sitting in the position of Director of Education.

So this project is to help him attract attention and promote his policies at the same time.

What a good plan, using public projects to promote yourself.

He is worthy of being a well-known politician in Hong Kong City.

Jian Huahan's expression gradually turned cold, and he fiddled with the lighter, "Director Lin, what else do you want?"

Lin Yilan smiled faintly, "Of course, Director Jian must find a way to cooperate and bring more attention to this project, so that we can More people are paying attention to this project, and you."

As she said this, she clicked on the folder in her hand.

The expression on Jian Huahan's face softened a little, but he frowned again, "How to increase the attention of this project?"

"Director Jian should be better at this kind of thing than me, right?" Lin Yilan lowered her eyes and stared at folder in front of you.

The light blue plastic cover is the same as other folders on the market, without any features.

However, every used folder will have different scratches due to time and experience, making it unique.

So, if you think about it, you can find what makes it different from other folders.

It just depends on whether the person you’re looking for has serious intentions.

If Jian Huahan wants the outside world to focus on this project, then he has to find out what is unique about this project.

In terms of design, Lin Yilan can help him. But other aspects, sorry, are not within the scope of her duties and she does not do them.

Jian Huahan looked at her with a half-smile, don't think he couldn't hear that she was stabbing him.

"Okay, since Director Lin said so, I will decide what to do next. But you Hengchang remember to cooperate well."

Lin Yilan nodded, "Of course, but I still want to remind Director Jian, don't This project has something to do with my personal affairs. Forgive me for being uncooperative."

Her tone was a little stiff, something Du Jiaxin had never seen before.

Du Jiaxin saw the stiffness on Jian Huahan's face and quickly helped to make up for it. "Director Jian, don't mind. Director Lin is good at everything, but he speaks too bluntly. Young people nowadays seem to have this problem."

Jian Huahan glanced at Lin Yilan coldly and looked at Du Jiaxin.

"It's okay, I don't care about the little girl. By the way, I've finished talking about the project design requirements, and there are some other things I want to talk to you about."

Du Jiaxin made a gesture of invitation, "Director Jian, what do you mean? "

When Jian Huahan and Du Jiaxin were communicating, Lin Yilan sat opposite and took notes as seriously as before.

The attitude she had when talking to Jian Huahan just now was intentional.

In front of Jian Huahan, Lin Yilan showed the arrogance of an architect who became famous at a young age and made early achievements. Jian Huahan

's disdain for those impure projects and clients who were too shrewd and calculating

made Jian Huahan think in his heart that she was a somewhat arrogant architect, so he would relax his vigilance and guard against her.

If the performance is too perfect, an architect with good design, character and personality will not be the best candidate in the hearts of people like Jian Huahan.

Facing someone with Jian Huahan's background and calculating personality, she had to expose several shortcomings to make him feel that she could be easily manipulated.

Otherwise, this project would not come into their hands so easily.

What's more, Jian Huahan is also an opportunity that she can take advantage of.

She also wants to make the Liao family mistakenly believe that there is more than just the Pei Yan family behind Lin Yilan.

After the two parties reached an intention to cooperate, the news slowly began to spread.

Du Jiaxin also contacted several kindergartens that were affirmed by Jian Huahan as soon as possible.

After some negotiations, three kindergartens were selected and confirmed by Jian Huahan.

All of this has nothing to do with Lin Yilan. She has recently accepted the position of designer for this project and is extremely busy every day.

After a few months, Lin Yilan once again made the headlines of Hong Kong newspapers before the Chinese New Year.

However, the reason for making the headlines surprised everyone.

[The Director of the Education and Manpower Division announced that... Hengchang Real Estate will be responsible for it. The biggest reason is Lin Yilan, design director of Hengchang Real Estate. ]

[Director Jian: I am a fan of Designer Lin. 】

【Jian Huahan is talking about building a most unique and innovative kindergarten. Let Hong Kong children spend their childhood happily. ]

[The reason for choosing Hengchang Real Estate is its latest project design drawing. 】

【Miss Du Jia promised that in a few months, she will give all citizens of Hong Kong City a real "home"】

【In-depth analysis of the relationship between Jian Huahan and the Pei family】

...

newspapers that publish news about Jian Huahan or the project every day, Lin Yilan They will be sent to her office.

During this period, she can be said to have witnessed Jian Huahan's self-promotion journey.

Every newspaper is full of news about Jian Huahan or the kindergarten project. Even because Lin Yilan is the main designer of this project, the discussion has spread to the entertainment sector.

She also successfully caught the attention of Hong Kong citizens again.

The days of being chased by reporters for filming and interviews came back to her again.

Before she even left the door of the Cultural Hotel in the morning, she could see reporters holding microphones and eager to take photos of her.

I really can’t even hide it.

Fortunately, Lin Yilan has long been used to it, and she has learned to turn a blind eye to such scenes.

However, she underestimated the influence of others on this matter.

"Ms. Lin, we have arranged a car to take you to work this morning. Please come with us through the back door."

Lin Yilan was stopped by the housekeeper arranged by the hotel as soon as she left the room.

She was stunned for a moment, thinking she hadn't woken up yet.

"What did you say?"

the housekeeper repeated helplessly, "Vice President Pei called our hotel at midnight yesterday and asked our hotel to arrange a car to take you to the company this morning."

"And early this morning, those reporters They started to wait for you at the door of the hotel. The number of people today is three times more than before."

Lin Yilan frowned. Isn't Vice President Pei a member of Pei Yan's family?

Why are there so many reporters? what happens?

She turned around expressionlessly and asked, "When did the Pei Yan family call you?"

"I don't know the exact time. But I heard it was in the middle of the night and early in the morning." The housekeeper felt that her tone was bad, Then he lowered his voice.

Lin Yilan rubbed her eyebrows, "Sorry, I had a bad attitude just now."

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. Miss Lin, what are you now...?"

Lin Yilan sighed silently, she had something else Choose?

"Let's go through the back door."

"By the way, do you know what happened last night?"

She really couldn't guess what happened, and she was sure that she didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the past few days, so that The reporter was so excited.

The butler shook his head, obviously he didn't know.

She asked reluctantly, "Were there any important activities yesterday?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment and shook his head again.

It’s almost Chinese New Year, what kind of activities are there?

"Then why are the reporters at the door waiting for me?" She glanced at the housekeeper tiredly.

The housekeeper thought of the rumors he heard after going to work and glanced at Lin Yilan cautiously, "Ms. Lin, this matter seems to have something to do with Director Jian and the Pei family. But I don't know what happened specifically." "

You If you are really worried, you can call Vice President Pei, he may know."

Lin Yilan thought that she had managed to distance herself from the Pei Yan family recently, but now something like this happened again.

She rubbed her temples and sighed.

"Let me think about it."

While she was still debating whether to contact Pei Yan's family, she didn't know the severity of the situation outside the hotel.

When she stepped out of the elevator and felt the vague eyes of the people around her, something was wrong with her.

Until the moment she followed the housekeeper around to the back door of the hotel and walked out.

"Miss Lin, do you know that Vice President Pei beat his sixth brother last night because of you?"

"Ms. Lin, what do you think about the conflict between the two young men of the Pei family because of you?"

"Ms. Lin, you What do you think of Director Jian’s remarks last night?”

“Miss Lin, is Director Jian really a fan of yours?”

“Miss Lin...”

Lin Yilan swore that she had never been like this before. , I feel that the three words Miss Lin are so terrifying.

Facing the swarm of reporters and cameras, the housekeeper blocked Lin Yilan with all his strength.

And the security guard of the Mandarin Hotel rushed over immediately after noticing this situation.

Even so, Lin Yilan also felt the horror of being chased by "loss".

Those reporters couldn't wait to stick to her body, and they kept pressing the shutter on her, and the flashlights lit up as if they were free of charge.

It was originally a gloomy weather, but they made it look like Lin Yilan turned on the headlights.

Under the desperate protection of the housekeeper and security, Lin Yilan ran back to the hotel in embarrassment.

"Huh-huh-huh-"

She held her knees and gasped, turning to look at the housekeeper whose clothes were stretched out of shape by the reporter, "Butler, what happened yesterday? Even if it has something to do with the Pei family, why are you still with Jane? Does the director have anything to do with it?"

The housekeeper fiddled with her messy hair and said, "Miss Lin, I don't know yet. Please wait a moment and I'll find someone to help you find out the news."

Lin Yilan raised her hand to stop her. "Forget it, take me to make a phone call with the boss to ask for leave first."

"By the way, don't talk about me, Miss Lin, anymore. I heard these three words and I'm scared now."

The housekeeper nodded. "Okay, Lin Xiao...Ms. Lin, please come with me."

The housekeeper led Lin Yilan to the VIP lounge, then turned and left.

She found the phone in the VIP room, picked up the receiver, and immediately dialed Du Jiaxin.

"Hey, is this Xiaolin?"

Before Lin Yilan could speak, she heard Du Jiaxin's anxious voice.

"Yes, it's me. Mr. Du, I'm afraid I can't come to work today."

Du Jiaxin relaxed, "It's okay, you won't come to the company these days. It happens to be the time to submit the design drawings for declaration. So you don’t have to worry about the project.” As

the design director, she knows the progress of the project better than anyone else, so she naturally doesn’t worry.

Lin Yilan was worried that there was something else going on, "Mr. Du, do you know what happened last night? Why did these reporters block me like crazy this morning."

"I don't know the specific situation, but I know that Hong Kong was The government held a private dinner and invited many prominent people in Hong Kong. Our family also received invitations, but I didn't go." Du Jiaxin told Lin Yilan everything she knew.

"It seems that the reporter is squatting on you because at yesterday's dinner, Pei Yan's family got into trouble with his sixth brother because of you, and then Director Jian didn't know what he said next to him. Anyway, there is all kinds of news now. If you really want to know what happened, you can only ask The person involved."

Seeing that Lin Yilan didn't speak, Du Jiaxin said tentatively: "Why don't you wait for today's newspapers, there are some newspapers that have relatively reliable news."

Lin Yilan rubbed her temples, worried.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Du."

Just when she was about to hang up, Du Jiaxin suddenly said loudly: "Call Ms. Qiu, she has better information than me."

Lin Yilan's eyes lit up, she Why did I forget Qiu Xiuzhen?

"Okay, I'll call Ms. Qiu later. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Du."

Du Jiaxin cheered, "Why are you so polite?"

After hanging up Du Jiaxin's phone, she pressed Qiu Xiuzhen's number.

Speaking of which, Qiu Xiuzhen hadn't appeared much since before she left Hong Kong City to prepare for the final exam. Until now, she hasn't appeared in public for almost half a month, and she doesn't know what happened to her.

If they hadn't occasionally exchanged opinions on the phone because of company matters, Lin Yilan and Du Jiaxin almost thought something had happened to her.

"Hello, is this Xiao Lin?"

Qiu Xiuzhen's voice sounded tired.

Lin Yilan softened her voice and said, "Ms. Qiu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Qiu Xiuzhen laughed.

This laughter sounded so gentle that even the girl Lin Yilan was distracted.

"It's okay, I just happened to be thinking of a way to contact you." Qiu Xiuzhen said still softly.

Her voice was the softest since Lin Yilan knew her.

Lin Yilan felt Qiu Xiuzhen's unprecedented tenderness while listening to her talk about last night's events.

In short, at the banquet held in Hong Kong last night, the sixth brother of the Pei Yan family said some particularly unpleasant things about her and the Pei Yan family in front of many people, so he was scolded by the Pei Yan family in turn. Moreover, he was also ridiculed by Director Jian.

Later, when the sixth brother of Pei Yan's family went to the bathroom alone, he was beaten.

The exact person who beat him has not yet been investigated, but the sixth brother of the Pei Yan family insists that it was the Pei Yan family who retaliated.

In short, this matter somehow got out and was known to the media reporters in Hong Kong City, which immediately aroused their "enthusiasm" for Lin Yilan.

"Xiao Lin, you don't need to worry too much. The Pei family must be more anxious about this matter than you. After all, the brothers are feuding, and it's not good for the Pei family." Seeing that Lin Yilan had been silent, Qiu Xiuzhen comforted her. .

For Lin Yilan, a young girl, what happened last night was an unforeseen disaster.

Lin Yilan was not as fragile as Qiu Xiuzhen imagined. She pondered for a moment, "Did Director Jian come out to speak for me last night?"

Qiu Xiuzhen did not expect that she would pay attention to this, "Yes, I heard before that you and Jiaxin took over the land next to our commercial housing project, which is marked by the kindergarten. Now it seems that Director Jian is quite satisfied with our cooperation. "

"This is also a publicity project for us, as well as a publicity company. It's a good time to cooperate with the Education and Planning Department." Lin Yilan thought about it and came up with a solution.

Qiu Xiuzhen blinked on the other end of the phone, "You mean...use this attention for publicity? But...according to the previous plan of the company's marketing department, it is not planned to wait until the commercial housing project is finalized after the year. Is it a publicity project?"

Lin Yilan looked in the direction of the hotel entrance, "God is not as good as man, so I have to seize this good opportunity now."

"I have no objection, but the management of the company now belongs to Jiaxin. As long as she agrees, Qiu Xiuzhen thought for a moment and gave her answer.

Time was urgent, and they did not chat as usual. After Lin Yilan hung up the phone, she dialed Du Jiaxin directly.

Du Jiaxin didn't expect Lin Yilan to be so "ruthless" and not care at all about such reputation-related matters. Instead, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. She... was really impressed.

After the two reached an agreement, Lin Yilan was ready to take action, but Du Jiaxin thought that she should call Jian Huahan first.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call."

Although Lin Yilan hoped to open up as much as possible, she no longer argued with Du Jiaxin on such trivial matters.

While waiting for Du Jiaxin's call back, Lin Yilan asked the housekeeper from time to time to inquire about the situation outside the hotel, and revised the kindergarten design sketch.

In kindergarten, she had already had an idea, but for a while, she couldn't grasp the two different directions, how she would choose.

One is a conservative design, and the designed kindergarten is probably no different from those of later generations; the other is more radical and innovative, and even in later generations, such kindergartens mostly appear in conceptual design plans.

Moreover, for the second plan, she just estimated the budget based on the sketch, which made her feel a little scared.

Just when she was still wondering where to start with the revision, she heard the phone ring.

She picked up the phone, held it between her ear and shoulder, and continued to revise the notebook with the pencil in her hand, "Hello, I'm Lin Yilan."

"Director Lin, I just contacted Director Jian, and he still reacts to your proposal. He's interested. But what he means is that he wants to be interviewed, and if we want to be interviewed, it's better to wait until the interview is over. "What do you think?" Du Jiaxin sounded unhappy.

Obviously, things that affect reputation are more important to girls, but now Director Jian wants to use it to promote himself.

Lin Yilan adjusted the position of the microphone, "I can do it. Since Director Jian said so, I will cooperate with him."

Du Jiaxin scratched her head, "Okay, as long as you have no objection."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yilan He took his bag and said hello to the housekeeper, then returned to his room.

As soon as she returned to her room, she sat down at her desk and continued working.

As soon as she entered the design state, she was focused on nothing else, and other important things were forgotten by her.

When she looked up again, she felt hungry.

She got up, washed an apple, and opened the door to her room while eating.

She took a paper bag from the door handle of the room, poured out the newspapers in the bag, and just leaned against the door and read them one by one.

"Ms. Lin, there is a gentleman named Lin Li at the front desk looking for you, saying he is your friend

from the mainland." The housekeeper appeared out of nowhere and walked to Lin Yilan's side.

Lin Yilan threw the newspaper aside and said, "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands."

After entering the elevator, Lin Yilan glanced at the housekeeper in front of her as if nothing had happened, and then pressed the button for the floor where the coffee shop was located.

"Butler, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Please help me take Mr. Lin to the coffee shop."

The housekeeper turned to her and nodded, "Okay, Miss Lin."

After just saying that, the elevator arrived at the coffee shop. On that floor, Lin Yilan nodded to the housekeeper and walked out of the elevator.

In today's situation, no one is sure whether any reporters sneaked into the hotel lobby.

If she really met her third brother on the first floor, if a reporter saw or photographed her, her third brother would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, she nodded and firmed up her decision not to meet Lin Li on the first floor.

When she arrived at the coffee shop, she asked the waiter to open a private room.

When Lin Li arrived at the box, he saw Lin Yilan holding milk in one hand and a newspaper in the other, with her legs crossed and her toes dangling back and forth leisurely.

His tense heartstrings immediately relaxed, "As long as you're okay."

Lin Yilan put down the newspaper, "What can I do, but brother, are you okay?"

After not seeing each other for a while, why did the third brother lose so much weight? .

Lin Li was sitting on the sofa opposite Lin Yilan. "What can I do? The work unit is very busy recently."

"I saw the news in the newspaper this morning and was shocked. Fortunately, you are fine." He picked up the He took a sip of the lemonade on the table.

"Xiao Wu... do you have any thoughts about the Pei family's affairs?"

Lin Yilan yawned, "I don't have any thoughts. I haven't contacted the Pei Yan family for a long time. But we agreed before that if we plan, if you have other ideas, just call the other party."

The implication is that the two of them are satisfied with the current plan and have no other ideas.

Lin Li moved his lips, "Okay, I don't care about these things of yours. Just pay attention to it."

"However, things in the Liao family have changed."

Lin Yilan's eyes lit up, "What changes?"

Lin Li pinched the bridge of his nose, "This matter has something to do with the Pei family. Somehow the Liao family's eldest house got in touch with the sixth grandson of the Pei family. The bank that had previously blocked their loan is now hesitant to take it. Relax the restrictions."

Lin Yilan clicked her tongue and touched her chin.

The Liao family's eldest family acted very quickly. She had just heard about their plan before, and now it has been implemented.

"Xiaowu, once the Liao family gets the loan, I won't be able to do anything else."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Li leaned closer to her anxiously.

Lin Yilan bit her lower lip, "Third brother, I know. But now that the Pei family is involved, we can't just spread rumors by hand and foot."

"So we must be careful when dealing with the Liao family this time. It's best You can hit it with one hit.”
