The large banquet hall on the third floor of the International Building in City A was held here for the bidding of the West Ring Building of the New Town.

The whole banquet hall is solemn and tidy, and there is a rostrum covered with red tablecloths in the innermost row, on which several famous plaques are placed, which are representatives of the municipal government of City A, the person in charge of urban construction planning, the spokesperson of the Information Office, the secretary general of the Information Office, the notary of the notary office, and the world-famous designer Ms. Lace, who was specially invited. Behind the rostrum is a large screen specially used to introduce the design drawings, and a row of white chairs is placed at a distance of more than ten meters from the front of the rostrum, which is for the people of the various companies participating in the bidding, and countless flower pots are placed around the venue to set off the relaxed and solemn atmosphere of the venue.

In addition to Qiao's Construction and Futian Group, there are also several small construction companies participating in the bidding meeting today, and these small construction companies that have just started in City A are holding a fluke mentality and want to take advantage of this bidding meeting to get a piece of the pie.

At 8:55, the representatives of the heads of various companies walked out of the VIP lounge and entered the venue one after another, and reporters from various media were also in place. Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming walked out of the lounge and walked slowly to the venue with Cao Haisheng, the director of the design department waiting at the door, and several designers from the design department. After they left, Qiao Yin entered the VIP lounge.

As soon as Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming entered the venue, countless flashes were extremely dazzling, and the cameras in the hands of various reporters crackled.

"This is Qiao Shao, the crown prince of the Qiao family, he is really young and promising. ”

"The one next to Qiao Shao is Lu Jiaming, and now the general manager of Qiao's International Trade is also a talent. ”

"Such a wonderful young entrepreneur, I heard that they are still single. ”

The reporters present were all whispering about these two wonderful men.

Sitting in the reserved seat, Qiao Chu turned his head and saw Zhou Shixian and Zhou Shaoqing sitting next to him, as well as several designers of Futian Group, Zhou Shixian nodded at Qiao Chu and said hello.

At nine o'clock, the bidding conference officially began, and the organizer first introduced the various responsible persons and invited guests on the rostrum, and then read out the bidding rules. At the end of the reading of the bidding rules, the first to show the design drawings on the stage was Futian Group Company, the enlarged renderings on the big screen were very clear, the designer's explanation was also in place, and several people on the rostrum were talking in a low voice with each other.

Immediately after the organizer invited Qiao's construction designers to come to the stage to show the design drawings and explain, under Qiao Chu's signal, Cao Haisheng, the director of the design department, took Qiao Yin's design drawings and walked to the rostrum, just stood on the rostrum before he had time to speak, Chen Li, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute, may I ask Director Cao, why don't you use my design drawings?"

Everyone on and off the stage was stunned, and they didn't understand why Chen Li suddenly asked such a question, only Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming were still sitting there as steadily as Mount Tai.

Cao Haisheng was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The design drawings for participating in the bidding this time did not designate a certain designer, and the design drawings in my hands were personally finalized by Qiao Shao and Mr. Lu. ”

Chen Li raised the folder in her hand and continued: "I am the chief designer of Qiao's Construction, and the design drawings in my hands can represent the company in the bidding.

Qiao Chu's obsidian-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he quickly regained his original calm.

"What's going on? There is infighting within Qiao's Construction?"

"yes, how did you get two blueprints?"

The person in charge of the organizer on the rostrum said: "Could the person in charge of Qiao's construction please explain what's going on?"

Qiao Chu stood up and looked at the organizer on the rostrum and everyone in the audience and said: "Everyone, the design drawings in the hands of Director Cao are indeed designed by the company's designers themselves, and I can guarantee that there will be no cheating." Mr. Lu and I agreed that the design drawings in Director Cao's hands are better, and if Designer Chen is not convinced, he can take out both design drawings and ask everyone present to identify them on the spot. ”

Several people on the rostrum exchanged a few words, and the organizer stood up and said: "Then please invite the designer in the audience to come to the stage together and display the two design drawings together for everyone to see." ”

Chen Li glanced at Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming proudly, walked to the rostrum, handed over the design drawing in his hand to the organizer, and the big screen lit up, showing Chen Li's design drawing

"What is this, this is also called a blueprint?"

"Is she a designer or not, such an ordinary design can even be drawn by college students. ”

"I heard that some time ago, Qiao's Construction had two outstanding designers who were poached by Futian Group, and now Qiao's Construction is afraid that no one is available, right?"

"I guess it's not fishing in troubled waters. ”

Hearing the whispered discussion of everyone in the audience, Chen Li bit her lip and explained hard, and Ms. Lace on the rostrum helped her glasses with gold silk and shook her head helplessly.

After the explanation, immediately after, the big screen lit up again, it was the design picture designed by Qiao Yin, and everyone in the audience let out a sigh, and those who knew design widened their eyes. And Ms. Lyss on the stage stared at the big screen with her eyes wide open, staring at the big screen incredibly motionless.

Director Cao walked to the microphone to explain, from the appearance of the whole building, the building materials used, the overall structure and interior decoration of the detailed explanation, just half an hour, after the last sentence, Director Cao has beads of sweat on his forehead. There was silence on and off the stage, as if a needle could be heard when it fell to the ground.

At this time, I don't know who in the audience whispered: "This is the drawing designed by the real designer, and this design drawing will definitely win the award if it wins the international competition." ”

"I think so, I don't know who this designer is?"

"It's comparable to Ms. Lace's design. ”

"I wonder what Miss Rice thinks?"

"We can't even invite such a talented designer. ”

Ms. Rice, who was on the podium, looked at Director Cao and asked in a Chinese that was not fluent, "Can I ask, who designed this design?"

Director Cao shook his head: "I'm sorry, Ms. Rice, I can't answer your question, I promise the owner of this design can't say her name." ”

Lady Lacey continued to ask, "Can I meet her, I just want to know what her inspiration was for this piece." ”

Director Cao glanced at Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming in the audience, and then looked at Ms. Lace: "She is ..... just a little-known intern designer in our company. ”

There was another sigh in the audience.

"Trainee designer, trainee designer can design something like this?"

"No, Qiao's Construction even has such a skill as an intern designer, it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

"You say, can we meet this trainee designer today?"

The person in charge of the rostrum said "Be quiet, please be quiet!" and then the person in charge of the organizer asked Ms. Rice, "Ms. Rice, please judge today's winner." ”

Ms. Lacey shook her head, "I can't make a decision today unless I meet this little-known trainee designer." ”

The person in charge of the organizer looked at Qiao Chu: "Mr. Qiao, look, do you want to ask this designer to come out and let Ms. Lace meet?"

Qiao Chu slowly stood up and nodded to Ms. Lace, and said with an elegant gesture of please, "Yes, please Ms. Lace come with me."

In the VIP lounge, Qiao Yin sat on the sofa, and her clasped hands fully showed her nervous mood at the moment.
