Chapter 023 Chapter 23

Hearing this, Lin Yilan narrowed her eyes slightly, with the same harmless smile on her face.

"Auntie, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. Because Mr. Lai did not give me the responsibility for building the house. I am only responsible for the design of your home. Other things are not my responsibility."

Looking at Aunt Lai's face Confused and unhappy, Lin Yilan continued to explain: "To put it simply, Mr. Lai now only asks me to draw a picture of what your house will look like in the future and show it to him. As for how to build it and who to build it, it all depends on Mr. Lai "That's what I meant."

Now Aunt Lai understood what the young comrade in front of her meant. She wanted to ask her brother if he could give him some salary.

Thinking of the young man's current appearance, Aunt Lai was a little frightened. She always felt that the young man was different from his original appearance.

"Comrade Xiaolin, you see, we don't understand this either. Is there any way you can tell the old lady of our family?"

"This second brother and he are also brothers with broken bones and bloody blood. We must help each other in the future. Yes. Xiao Lin, you have brothers too, you should be able to understand your parents’ thoughts.”

Lin Yilan looked at Aunt Lai with a smile and said angrily: “Auntie, it’s not that I won’t help you, it’s just this matter . It's not my responsibility, I can't help." "But as you said, Uncle Lai and Mr. Lai are both brothers, and you are still his mother. It's more appropriate than me, an outsider, to

talk about it, isn't it?"

Aunt Lai is getting darker and darker, but Lin Yilan still maintains the friendly and polite smile on her face, "Of course, I also understand your thoughts, after all, my family will feel more at ease when using my house, right?"

Seeing that Aunt Lai's face had improved, she said, "It's just that it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to get involved in your family's affairs. What if Mr. Lai misunderstands Uncle Lai because of this and it affects their brotherly relationship? " " What should I do?"

"There are some things that are more appropriate for the brothers themselves."

Seeing that Aunt Lai was still hesitant, Lin Yilan held her arm and said, "Auntie, I also know that you are thinking about Mr. Lai. I want them to have closer contact with the brothers they haven't seen for so many years. I think if Mr. Lai needs anything in the future, my brothers can help.

But just because you think so, you have to tell your family, otherwise people like me will do it. If an outsider is really lucky to do something like this, will Mr. Lai still remember Uncle Lai to help build the house?

"Would it be better for Mr. Lai to remember Mr. Lai or the outsider? " What?"

Lin Yilan wasted no time in telling Aunt Lai about the possible adverse effects of this matter from all angles.

Fortunately, these were things she had anticipated after learning about the project, and she was fully prepared for all of them.

Look, it’s useful now.

Although she wanted to reject Aunt Lai directly, she was afraid that it would not work. Therefore, Lin Yilan deliberately used nonsense literature to explain the truth that everyone knew back and forth to Aunt Lai.

Aunt Lai felt like her head was spinning from what this little girl said, but she still heard Lin Yilan's last words clearly.

After thinking about it carefully, I think this little girl is right. It is indeed not good for outsiders to have a foot in the middle.

The second child had already had a complaint with the family about building a house. If he was really asked to help, and it was through an outsider, wouldn't he feel that the younger one looked down on the family members even more?

Besides, it would be bad if the relationship between the youngest and the second child is really alienated.

"Okay, okay, then don't tell me about this."

"Comrade Lin, no, Engineer Lin, please forget what I just said."

Lin Yilan raised her hand She made a zipper gesture with her hand to her mouth, "Don't worry, aunt, I have the strictest mouth."

Aunt Lai smiled brightly and said with an embarrassed look: "That's good, look at this, Mum. Things have delayed your return."

Lin Yilan kicked off the bicycle legs and said, "It's okay, it's okay, then, aunt, let's go."

After leaving Lai's yard, the two pushed the bicycle to a relatively flat country road and pedaled immediately. Got on the bike.

Lin Li couldn't help but ask about what happened just now, "The lady just wanted you to help her son earn some money while building a house, right?"

Lin Yilan nodded, "Absolutely. But she thought differently, Mr. Lai You didn't ask me to do this job."

Lin Li curled his lips. He didn't believe that Lin Yilan didn't understand. "I think your design will be approved, and you will probably be asked to help build the house."

Lin Yilan squinted . I closed my eyes and felt the autumn wind about to set. The cool wind swept away the dryness of the day. "It's okay if he lets me go on site to supervise the work, but that's another amount of money. I'm still hoping that he will come to me and let me make more money."

Lin Li really didn't understand his little sister's sudden and violent behavior recently. Where does the desire to make money come from? Before this, he had always thought that among the five brothers and sisters in their family, the one who was most active in making money was Xiaosi. Now it seems that Xiaowu is not willing to give in.

"If...well, if their family has too many things, just make a design for their family."

Looking at the back of the third brother in front of her, Lin Yilan's eyes softened. She knew that the third brother cared about her. According to the Her past personality was such that she didn't get into trouble and kept getting her hands on things. I'm afraid it would be hard for him to understand why she would take this job.

It's because her family loves her so much that she desperately wants the power to protect them. Thinking of this, she held the handle of the bicycle tightly, trying hard to control her direction and make it move in the direction she wanted.

"Third brother, don't worry. Who am I? Have you ever looked for trouble?"

-

"Mr. Lai, my design drawings are out. Do you need me to be on site to supervise the construction?"

After Lin Yilan handed the design drawing to Lai Chengrong, she said what she said was a slap in the face.

Lai Chengrong glanced at the design drawing and put it aside, "Of course, I believe that if designer Lin is willing to go to the site, your design can be implemented better."

Lin Yilan nodded thoughtfully, "It's just Mr. Lai, you also know that the amount of work on this house is not large. Even if the weather is bad, it can be completed in no more than half a month. If we follow the construction methods in Hong Kong City, it may take a lot of time. "

"And I'm still a student now..." She glanced at Lai Chengrong, and he must have understood the implication.

She actually didn't know much about the construction cycle of the port city, but she could guess that most of the international community was following the payment methods of later generations. Even if it wasn't exactly the same, it should be almost the same.

However, if the payment is settled according to the project construction progress, then the construction party must advance part of the payment to the project.

She has no money and she doesn't want to cause trouble.

Based on what she learned recently, Lai Chengrong estimates that he will return to Hong Kong City soon. What will he do if he can't pay the balance then?

But once she wins the construction project, she will definitely get more money than the design.

Otherwise, why would so many contractors in later generations become rich after taking on a few projects?

For money, Lin Yilan is willing to take over this troublesome matter.

Lai Chengrong naturally understood what Lin Yilan meant. He raised his head and looked at her deeply, then picked up the design drawing in his hand.

Whether or not Lin Yilan should be allowed to stay on site to supervise the work, he needed to see the quality of her design drawings.

See if she is worth the extra salary.

Looking at his movements, Lin Yilan understood what Lai Chengrong meant. She picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. The familiar bitterness and sweetness brought her back to the time when she was working in her previous life.

It was just the quiet environment around her that brought her back to reality.

The coffee shop at this time was not only deserted but also sparsely populated. There were less than five people in the huge venue of nearly 100 square meters.

But people who can afford to open a coffee shop at this time won’t care about this anymore.

In the quiet air, the sound of turning pages can be clearly heard.

After watching Lai Chengrong finish reading the last page, Lin Yilan put down the cup in her hand.

"Ms. Lin, are you used to drinking coffee?"

Facing the unexpected question, Lin Yilan touched the handle of the coffee cup, "It's okay, but I really like the smell of coffee, it has a mellow sweetness."

Lai Chengrong Putting Lin Yilan's design drawing back into the document bag, he pointed at the document bag made of kraft paper, "Ms. Lin, I have consulted some designers in Hong Kong before about building a house for my parents, and I have also seen The design draft they drew seemed very good at the time and could be used directly.

However, my wife advised me at the time that the situation in the inland and the port city were different, and the drawings of the port city might not work in the inland. I just chose to come to the mainland to find a designer. I regretted it for a long time. "

Looking back now, if I hadn't listened to my wife, I would have really regretted it now because I missed out on an excellent designer."

Anyone who hears their customers praise themselves will be a little happy, and Lin Yilan is no exception. She tried hard to control the corners of her mouth, not to let them rise too obviously, just to raise them quietly a little.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lai. You are over-praising me. I still have a lot to learn."

Lai Chengrong picked up the coffee and took a sip. "Ms. Lin, being too humble means you are proud. If you do well, you must admit your own mistakes. Excellent."

"I like the design you made for my parents' house. I will pay you the design fee as we agreed before."

He said as he took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Lin Yilan.

"It's just that I'm afraid I can't be sure about the construction yet, so I'll call you later."

Lin Yilan took the envelope, counted the money, and nodded, "Okay, we'll talk about it then."

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Yilan stood up and left.

After coming out of the coffee shop, Lin Yilan walked towards the bank.

The design fee is more than 200, plus the cost of measuring the room, the total is more than 300. With more than thirty pictures, she can be considered a wealthy woman in this era.

It’s just that if she can win the construction of this house, she will definitely have more money in her hands, and she won’t need to be so nervous about taking on subsequent projects. She can also consider seeing if there are other ways to make money.

Although Mr. Lai did not agree to give her the construction work, she was actually very confident that the project would eventually come into her hands. After all, it was not easy for him to find people.
