He and I arrived at the third site just after 4 p.m.

We seem to have gone from one extreme to the other.

Desolation is written at one end, and prosperity is engraved at the other.

That's right, we are standing in Chang'an County, the most luxurious island in Xijing City, built on the island in the middle of the lake, and there are only a few private villas in the city.

The island is surrounded by lush vegetation and unique landscape, surrounded by the South Lake, and the Jungnam Mountains are clearly visible.

Rao is Xiao Cheng has been in countless decoration companies, and he has never seen a yacht to measure a house.

After being led off the boat by the security guards, he was still full of exclamation: "Sister Xu, how much do you say this house is worth?"

I thought about it and quipped him: "It is estimated that you have struggled for ten lifetimes, and you can afford to buy a bathroom for it!"

Xiao Cheng is at a glance.

"Actually, it's not good, it's cold and damp in winter, and mosquito bites in summer. There is not a trace of fireworks around, and if you want to have dignity, you have to endure loneliness. ”

Xiao Cheng's psychology has a balance: "In this way, I still live in the dozens of small square meters I rented, and I was woken up by the Qin dialect of the uncle downstairs before six o'clock every day, and the food in the building was fragrant when I went back at night." This ordinary person also has an ordinary person's down-to-earth life. ”

The security guard on the side was attracted by the conversation between the two of us: he leaned over and lowered his voice: "Then according to what you say, isn't the rich stupid?"

"No, people are stupid and have a lot of money. ”

After speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

But the moment I actually saw the house, I couldn't be happier anyway.

In the middle of the large green lawn in front of me, there was a fairytale-like four-story white glass house. To the east of the courtyard, a large sea of sunflowers faces the sun, full of life.

Whose green voice broke through the boundaries of time and haunted in my ears:

"Gu Qichen, my future house must face the sea and bloom in spring. ”

"There is no sea around Xi'an!"

"Then I'll live by the lake. ”

"Winters are cold and damp, and summers are mosquito bites. ”

"I want to have a big garden full of sunflowers, and watch them chase the sun every day!"

"Bees will chase you and scream all over the yard. ”

"I also wanted a glass-roofed studio, and when I got tired of painting, I would lie down and count the stars. ”

"You can't see the stars in the city!"

"I don't care, that's what I want. ”

"Yes, it's up to you, but you have to promise me to stay by my side for the rest of your life. ”

......

Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.

The two young people who have no suspicion of guessing the green years, thinking that a lifetime is as indestructible as an oath.

It turns out that the so-called life, separated by the world, separated by mountains and seas, the world cannot be broken, and the mountains and seas cannot be crossed.

We didn't end up waiting for the owner of the house with a lot of money.

After the security guard passed the phone, he only said that the owner was busy and couldn't get out, and he used the spare key on his body to lead Xiao Cheng and me into the house to actually measure.

The closer I got, the more apprehensive I became.

However, when I walked through all four corners of the building, all my conjectures were confirmed.

My heart was suddenly pinched by an invisible hand, sour and breathless.

Obviously, they had the homeowner's phone in their hands, but I didn't dare to ask, I didn't dare to call.

It's like clearing the layers of fog and about to know the truth, but you're afraid to know it and stop there.

After recording all the data, the security guard drove us back to shore on the yacht.

It was past seven o'clock when I returned to the company, and Jiang Yao was still there.

When she saw me come back, she didn't say any greetings, and asked directly, "Have you seen the house on the island in the middle of the lake?"

"Yes!" I replied.

"How?"

She asked casually, but I felt that I had an ulterior motive.

"It's beautiful!"

"I heard that the owner of the house designed and built it himself. ”

My heart, which I had finally calmed down, was touched by this sentence again.

"After the data is integrated, send a copy to my mailbox, and use your own ideas to come up with a set of design plans first. If the owner can look at it, there will be a seven-figure design fee. That's all there is to it. Jiang Yao was unexpectedly pleasant. Maybe it's because of this exciting income.

I took the information she handed me and sprinkled five or six sheets of A4 paper.

The most obvious purpose above is that all the decoration materials must be the world's top brands; the glass skylight on the fourth floor must pay attention to thermal insulation; the overall main tone is white, and some of them are made of lake blue; the painting room, library, and tea room are all made of logs; especially the painting room and the baby room are detailed to the perverted ......

Despite my enthusiasm and three all-nighters, the design was not recognized by the client.

I've also seen the work of Jiang Yao and other colleagues, and it's old-fashioned, but it's more detailed. Still not favored by customers.

Eventually, we lost that business.

I'm thinking, if it's Gu Qichen, he has his own design team, how can he go to great lengths to seek outsiders?

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

What would the owner of such a beautiful house, with its exquisite attention to the details of life to the point of being almost harsh?
