Chapter 121 Chapter 261 and 262
"Happy start of school! Xiao Wu, congratulations on becoming a graduate student."
Lin Yilan took the flowers from her fourth brother Wang Xing and said, "Thank you."
Seeing the camera on his chest, she pulled She lived with her former classmates. "Can you take a photo for me and my fourth brother?"
The classmate was startled when he saw it was Lin Yilan, and then nodded.
We met the legendary senior sister on the first day of school. How could she be so lucky?
She clenched her fists, trying not to show a ferocious expression and scare her senior sister.
Wang Xing immediately took off the camera hanging around her neck and put it in the hands of her classmate.
Lin Yilan stepped forward to instruct her classmates on how to take photos. After making sure that the classmates had mastered it, she pulled her fourth brother to a spacious place.
"3, 2, 1, eggplant!"
The photo of the brother and sister showing their teeth and smiling was recorded by the flash.
The two of them walked side by side on campus, looking at the freshmen coming and going to report, as well as the old students who were helping with the report, and chatted with each other.
"Xiaowu, how does it feel to go back to school after such a long time?" Wang Xing looked at a boy passing by carrying a silk sack on his back, and then turned to look at the little girl who was incompatible with the temperament of most freshmen.
Lin Yilan spread her hands and said, "There is no difference. I just feel that the school is getting better day by day."
When she returned from graduation, she almost thought she had gone to the wrong classroom when she reported to the designated classroom.
Most of the shabby wooden tables and chairs she used to use in class have been replaced with newly made tables and chairs.
She no longer needed to put notebooks under the legs of the table that were always uneven because of her lame legs, to keep the table balanced.
Although I haven’t used plastic tables and chairs yet, it would be nice to replace the tables and chairs that have been used for more than ten years with new ones.
It seems that the school has received state funding, and it is finally willing to replace the old antiques with new ones.
It's a pity that she graduated, but the graduate teaching building where she goes now still uses the same old methods.
As a rule of thumb, as soon as students graduate, the school is renovated. Good things from school that will never be used.
The two walked to the school gate. Lin Yilan was just about to treat her fourth brother to lunch when she was stopped by someone walking not far away.
"Classmate Lin?"
"Classmate Lin!"
Lin Yilan looked back and saw that she was a student that Professor Wu had accepted before and was in her third year of graduate school this semester.
"Classmate Zou, what's wrong?"
"Professor Wu asked me to ask you to go to his office. He has something to do with you." The junior fellow of the third year of graduate school finished the message.
Lin Yilan looked at her fourth brother apologetically, "Brother, I can't treat you to lunch today. How about you go to our cafeteria for a meal?"
She took out the meal ticket she just got in the cafeteria from her pants pocket and stuffed it in In the hands of Wang Xing.
Wang Xing raised his hand and rejected the meal ticket she handed him, "I'm your brother, do you still want you to treat me to lunch?"
"You're welcome. My parents told me to ask you to help me today, and I have to take care of it. Your lunch." Lin Yilan moved out the eldest son of the family.
"Hurry and take it, or I will complain to them when we go back for dinner at night."
After saying that, she continued to stuff the meal ticket into Wang Xing's hand.
After making sure that the fourth brother had taken it, she turned around and ran towards Professor Wu's office.
When she reached the door of the office building, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of her fourth brother. When she saw him disappear, Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since the fourth brother knew that she and the third brother had been busy in Hong Kong City for his biological father for so long, he always looked guilty when he saw her.
Every time she sees her fourth brother like this, she feels extremely stressed.
But she could understand the fourth brother's guilt.
All I can say is, hurry up and wait until the end of the year for the Christmas vacation in Hong Kong and when the third brother returns to the mainland, the third brother will come to adjust the fourth brother's mentality.
She has no hope of this important task.
Senior Brother Yan San who was following behind Lin Yilan had been quietly observing her.
For students in their architecture department and even Beijing Institute of Technology, Lin Yilan has become a legendary figure.
Even before entering the school gate, Lin Yilan's name was advertised on the bulletin board.
I heard that during her undergraduate studies, she basically never missed any scholarships.
To be honest, he was a little nervous and anxious when such a person became his junior sister.
It's really embarrassing to be beaten up by junior brothers and junior sisters.
But...he seemed to have no choice but to recognize a junior sister like Lin Yilan.
The two people with their own concerns stood at the door of Professor Wu's office.
"Dong dong dong -"
"Teacher, it's me."
"Come in."
After receiving Professor Wu's permission, Lin Yilan entered his office.
"Teacher, long time no see."
The senior brother who followed behind him also entered the office and closed the door.
When Professor Wu saw the two of them, he took off his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose.
"You are here. Congratulations on the start of school."
He took out the signed leave application form on the table and handed it to Lin Yilan.
"I have already signed your leave application form. You have to go through the rest of the procedures yourself."
Lin Yilan took the leave application form and took a look at it. After putting it in her bag, she looked at Professor Wu gratefully, "Teacher, please You're gone. I'm really sorry that I have to take leave right after school starts."
Professor Wu waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down. "You are asking for leave to do professional work, not to go out for fun, so of course I approved it. But you still have to make up for the homework you owe. During the time when you are not in class, you can't miss out on your books and knowledge. "
After all, postgraduate study is very different from undergraduate studies.
He has nothing else to worry about Lin Yilan now, except that she can't keep up with her studies.
After all, he was a student who had always been the first in his grade. If it were in his hands, his grades would fall. Then he would feel uncomfortable.
"By the way, I read the newspapers in Hong Kong City. Did you lead the design of the new Hengchang Real Estate project?"
After he finished speaking, he took out a newspaper and handed it to Lin Yilan.
"I read in the newspaper that this new building has rekindled the enthusiasm of people in Hong Kong for home buying. It is also said that this community will be a new private city park in the future."
"Is the design concept of this building based on your graduation?" Which one was used in the design?"
Lin Yilan took the newspaper and glanced at it. It was indeed a project of Hengchang Real Estate. She even saw Du Jiaxin's face in the photo accompanying the news.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the senior brother next to her was interested in the newspaper, so she handed it to him.
"Yes, this is the company where I interned in my fifth year. I am taking leave this time because I have to go to Hong Kong City for this real estate project."
"As for the design concept, it is indeed the same one used in the graduation project. It's just that in the graduation project, I was more free-spirited and more extreme in art and design, while the real estate project considered more commercial things, and The boss’s thoughts and opinions.”
Lin Yilan told Professor Wu directly about these things, and there was nothing to hide.
Professor Wu was amazed. Logically speaking, there are basically no commercial housing communities in the mainland. They are basically divided into units, and at most they are purchased from outside.
As for the design of the residential complex that was purchased from outside, compared to the one designed by Lin Yilan, it was simply crushed.
Lin Yilan, a designer who had never come into contact with real objects, could actually make such a design. How could he not be impressed by her talent.
Lin Yilan herself seemed to notice Professor Wu's exclamation. She explained euphemistically: "Teacher, when I was designing this project, I visited various commercial housing communities in Hong Kong City, including Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay and Victoria Peak. I tried to find someone to take me through it.
I also read a lot of papers from foreign countries and Hong Kong cities before I came up with this design. "
Professor Wu was not surprised, thinking about the project she did in Beijing . I started designing after visiting many places.
It can only be said that this is his habit as a student, and it is indeed a good habit.
"I read in the newspaper that the project you designed sold very well right after it was launched. Have you ever thought about bringing this concept to the mainland?"
Lin Yilan nodded, "Of course you have, but it's just not the case in the mainland right now." The commercial housing market has not been liberalized. "
"Then, when the market is liberalized in the future, I think you will be very popular as a designer. There are only a handful of designers in the mainland who have experience in commercial housing design and have good sales results. I will like you very much." Professor Wu teased.
Lin Yilan shook her head, "Teacher, I don't want to be engaged in commercial housing design all the time. Please don't tease me."
The senior brother next to him quietly listened to the conversation between the two after reading the newspaper.
He was confused when he saw in the newspaper that this real estate project designed by Lin Yilan had a house price of one thousand yuan per square meter.
Such an expensive house was actually designed by his junior sister.
It's so awesome...
After the teacher and student continued chatting in the office for a while, they got up and prepared to go out for lunch.
After lunch, Lin Yilan took a walk around the school with her request for leave. After getting the signatures and approvals from all the leaders, she rode her bicycle back home.
As soon as she got home, she heard the chirping sounds of children coming from the yard.
There was also the sound of her parents chatting with the aunt taking care of the baby.
The family has not been so lively in eight hundred years.
She sighed and closed the courtyard gate.
After Wang Zizi saw Lin Yilan come back, he handed the child into the hands of his aunt.
"Have your luggage been packed?"
Lin Yilan nodded, then took her mother's arm and rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
"Mom, you have worked hard these past few days."
Wang Zixin patted his girl on the head, "If I don't work hard, isn't it your father?! And you took over this child for our sake."
Lin Yilan smiled stupidly and looked up at her mother, "Mom, how about I buy you and dad a house?"
Lin Jiangang rolled his eyes. He didn't understand his girl.
"Xiaowu, tell dad, are you too rich for money? How many houses have you bought in the past few months since you came back?"
Lin Yilan wrinkled her nose and snorted at him, "What do you know? It's investment."
Wang Zixin also helped the girl, "That's right, wealthy people used to buy shops and houses. Xiaowu, after making so much money, he could buy a few houses and put them away."
Lin Jiangang made a gesture. With an expression of surrender, she said, "Buy it, buy it. But my daughter, let me remind you, you must never buy several houses without remembering them."
Lin Yilan's expression stiffened, she scratched her cheek, and smiled.
"How could I do such a thing?!"
Lin Jiangang knew what was going on as soon as he saw her expression. He didn't bother to say too much. It was a good thing for the girl to have her own thoughts and plans.
If their parents nag too much, it will only make people feel annoying.
But there is one thing that needs to be said, "You don't have to worry about my wife and I's house. We will share in the new house allocated by the school. When the time comes, I will take my wife to live in the building."
Lin Yilan curled her lips and muttered: "How can a building have a yard?"
"Okay, father and daughter, stop arguing here." Wang Zixin was really impressed by their father and daughter, and they would quarrel when they met.
When others say something about the two of them, they think they are too talkative.
It’s really not like a family doesn’t come into the same house.
She turned around and looked at her little daughter, patted the back of her hand, "Your father and I will take care of the child's affairs during this time, so don't worry about it. Just go and do your work."
"Also. Don't be pushy about the Liao family's affairs. Just take care of it if you can. If it doesn't work, we
can just avoid the Liao family." Lin Yilan forced a smile. They could avoid the Liao family's attitude if they wanted to.
She cannot let any hidden dangers that destroy her family remain in this world.
Even though her heart was full of worries, she still had a smile on her face, "Okay, I understand, Mom, don't worry."
The plane landed, and Lin Yilan returned to the familiar port city after four months.
When I walked out of the station, I saw Du Jiaxin wearing sunglasses and clicking her nails boredly.
In a city that was originally a bit unfamiliar, after seeing familiar people, the unfamiliar feeling faded away as quickly as the reflection on the train.
Seeing that Du Jiaxin's assistant was about to remind her, Lin Yilan raised her index finger and made a shushing gesture.
Lin Yilan, like other passers-by, pretended to pass by Du Jiaxin, then walked around behind her and patted her shoulder gently.
Gently -
"Ah!"
Du Jiaxin was so frightened that she jumped up on the spot.
Lin Yilan raised her right hand with a smile and waved to Du Jiaxin who was two steps away. "...hi?"
Du Jiaxin rolled her eyes and patted her chest, "You scared me."
"Sorry." Lin Yilan accepted the punishment obediently.
Du Jiaxin waved her hand when she saw this, "Let's go, I forgive you. Don't scare me again next time."
Lin Yilan nodded, "I understand."
Du Jiaxin turned to look at Lin Yilan, she suddenly looked so obedient. , Du Jiaxin is still a little unaccustomed to it.
Sure enough, after returning home, my condition improved a lot.
Lin Yilan didn't know what she was looking at, so she had to scratch her face.
Du Jiaxin stared for a while, then turned and walked towards the outside of the terminal.
"The hard decoration of the model house is basically completed, and now we are waiting to start the soft decoration. Originally we were going to start the construction today, but you said you would arrive today, so I thought of waiting for the designer to come before starting the soft decoration.
" As she talked about the latest developments in Hengchang, Lin Yilan nodded in response.
After Hong Kong City allowed pre-sales, many real estate companies were under much less financial pressure. Just like Hengchang, the first phase of the latest project was almost a quarter completed, and they applied for a pre-sale permit in accordance with regulations.
The pre-sale of the first phase of the project has now begun, which is a good supplement for Hengchang’s later project funds, and also prepares Hengchang for further projects and company loans.
These things are similar to what Lin Yilan expected before.
"By the way, how is Ms. Qiu now?" Lin Yilan asked pretending to be casual.
Du Jiaxin sighed when she heard this topic.
"It's not good to say yes, but it's not bad to say bad. I haven't seen her for a long time. She doesn't come to the company now and basically doesn't contact me."
"I only know about her latest situation through newspapers. "She seemed to have given birth to a child before. After the Liu family found out, they kept clamoring for her to hand over the child, but now they don't know where she hid the child."
Lin Yilan heard that no one knew about Qiu Xiuzhen's child . Once there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know how Conway was able to clean her up, but no one knew that the child was fine with her.
It would have been very troublesome for her to take their child to the mainland. If people still knew that the child was with her, she would probably not have a happy life.
"Who is the father of the child? Does anyone know?" She continued to test.
Du Jiaxin looked around, then opened the car door for her.
After both of them got in the car, Du Jiaxin told Lin Yilan her guess.
"No one knows who the father of the child is, but some people guessed which official of the Hong Kong government it is."
"I heard someone said that the Liu family originally came to find someone to kidnap Ms. Qiu and ask her where the child was, but they went to find someone At that time, everyone who heard the news was told not to take orders to harm Ms. Qiu.
Moreover, the Liu family originally came to find a group of minions to take action, but as soon as they approached Ms. Qiu, they were immediately hidden in the dark. The bodyguard beat me up."
"After the Liu family came here so many times, no one dared to take the order to kidnap Ms. Qiu."
Lin Yilan nodded while listening. It seems that Director Kangwei is quite capable. It would be nice to protect Ms. Qiu, so as not to involve her.
Du Jiaxin saw her distracted look and chatted with her about other gossip.
"A lot of things happened during the four months you were away from Hong Kong City. Do you know what happened to the Pei family?"
Lin Yilan was in a daze for a moment. She hadn't heard from the Pei family for a long time.
After returning to the mainland, Pei Yan's family occasionally called her, but then she simply disappeared.
Worried about the safety of Pei Yan's family, she dialed several numbers he had left for her, but none of them found him.
In desperation, Lin Yilan had to give up.
"What happened to the Pei family?"
Du Jiaxin was stunned for a moment when she saw that she really didn't know.
"The Pei Yan family is injured, don't you know?"
Lin Yilan shook her head and turned to look at Du Jiaxin, "What happened to the Pei Yan family? It's not convenient for me to contact him in the mainland, and no one answered my phone call."
Du Jiaxin immediately put on a show. He looked at her with sympathy as if he were a "misfortunate mandarin duck".
"There was a big earthquake in the Pei family during this time. Pei Yan's family was almost kidnapped three months ago, and then I heard that he was shot when he went out to play. He lay in the hospital for more than half a month.
It seems that he is still recuperating at home recently. Listen People from Hengxin said they haven't seen him during this time."
Lin Yilan was startled, and she felt a little magical for a moment.
"Didn't the Pei family or Mr. Pei have any reaction?" Her mind was confused and she almost said whatever came to her mind.
His hands were clenching his pants unconsciously.
Du Jiaxin sighed, "How could there be no reaction? The Pei Yan family is the grandson that Mr. Pei values the most. I heard that Hengxin kicked out several shareholders, and several of the descendants of the Pei family were thrown abroad, and they are not allowed to return to Hong Kong. The city and the mainland.
The most serious ones were directly removed from the Pei family's trust fund. "
Lin Yilan rolled her eyes. For such a wealthy family, this kind of thing is considered very serious. If you commit a crime, you should be jailed, not exiled abroad.
After the two chatted about other gossips in Hong Kong City, the car stopped.
Lin Yilan tilted her head and looked out the window at the construction site and the sales department.
Du Jiaxin picked up her bag and said, "We're here, let's go."
Lin Yilan nodded and opened the car door.
As soon as I got off the car, I felt the dust in the air.
Being so close to the construction site, the sky turned a light yellow.
Lin Yilan silently took out a silk scarf from her bag and tied it on her face, leaving only her eyes and forehead exposed.
Du Jiaxin glanced at her and burst into laughter.
She didn't care about Lin Yilan's dress, but took her assistant to the sales department and called the manager.
"Has the furniture been delivered?"
Lin Yilan followed Du Jiaxin, looking at the manager keenly.
The manager swallowed silently, "It's been delivered. Do you want the workers to move it up now?"
Du Jiaxin nodded, "Bring the drawings with me by the way."
She glanced at Lin Yilan who was standing next to her, and grabbed her He pulled her over and pulled off the silk scarf on her face.
"This is the company's design director and a shareholder of the company."
The manager bowed and said, "Hello, Director Lin."
Lin Yilan nodded and said hello with a smile, "Hello, manager."
Hearing this Du Jiaxin's words made other people in the sales department look at Lin Yilan quietly.
They have always been curious about who the designer of this project is. On the day the building was launched, the designer did not come. Now they finally see it.
After the manager called workers to move the furniture, Lin Yilan immediately pulled on her silk scarf and followed.
The unit building where the model house is located is not the highest in the community, nor is it the king of buildings in the community, but the one closest to the sales department.
There are about eighteen floors.
After getting on the elevator, Lin Yilan saw many non-numeric floor numbers.
She thought about it and found other numbers and letters, probably to avoid taboos.
The floor where the model house is located is the seventh floor, which means "seven up and eight down".
Although Lin Yilan didn't know whether this had anything to do with Feng Shui, she was willing to accept it as long as it was good for the real estate.
After the elevator door opened, she walked towards 701 with the drawing in her hand.
The sofa had been moved in by workers, and Lin Yilan stepped forward and immediately directed them.
The design of the entire model house is dominated by warm colors. Except for some walls that are painted with light yellow wall paint that is almost white, most of the walls are still mainly white.
Most of the furniture was co-produced by Lin Yilan with the furniture factory based on the drawings.
For her, this was a good time to launch her collaboration with the furniture factory “Lan”.
In order to get Du Jiaxin to agree, she also visited the furniture market in Hong Kong City to make sure that the furniture she designed was not the high-street products that already existed in Hong Kong City.
For the interior decoration of the model house this time, she used simplicity, light luxury, elegance and comfort as the design themes.
Not only for aesthetics, but also to match the tone of the building.
Direct the workers to install lamps and place sofas and beds.
It took her nearly half a day to complete the entire room of nearly 100 square meters.
We got off the plane at ten in the morning and returned to the Mandarin Hotel at ten in the evening.
When she arrived at the hotel, she didn't get a suite this time, but a standard room.
For her now, saving money is very important.
After all, I bought a lot of houses in Beijing before, and I don’t have as much money as before.
Just as she was getting ready to take a shower and rest, she suddenly heard the phone on her desk ring.
Lin Yilan put down her bath towel and picked up the phone.
"Hello, I'm Lin Yilan."
"Ms. Lin, long time no see. Do you have time to meet up?"
She raised her eyebrows when she heard the voice on the phone.
"Wait a moment. I just came back from outside and need to wash up."
"Well, my wife and I are waiting for you at the bar in the hotel."
Lin Yilan raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You're welcome."
