Chapter 26: Finding Inspiration
In the evening, Chen Xing drank several bowls of soup, and collapsed on the sofa with a round stomach, "Lao Xu, you can control the taste of the soup in the future to be generally delicious, and if you can't control it, reduce the quantity, I thought that tonight, our toilet will have to be contracted by me." ”
Lao Xu said: "I didn't let you drink a pot of boiling, you really can't control your mouth, it's easy to do, next time invite your colleagues to drink together." ”
Chen Xing was speechless, the current Lao Xu is no longer the original Lao Xu, he will pull it on his "colleague" after saying a few or two sentences, and even his granddaughter Luo Fei has to stand aside.
"Lao Xu, have you forgotten Luo Xiaofei? Speaking of which, she hasn't come to dinner for a long time, how about calling her tomorrow?" Chen Xing tried to change the subject.
"That's okay, I'll buy a few more vegetables tomorrow, you young people have a party, let Fengzi come, and your colleagues, call a few more people to live." ”
Chen Xing: "......"
As she was talking, a "colleague" sent a WeChat message, and she opened it to see that it was a night photo, taking a snapshot of the night sky and the silhouette of the building. She didn't understand what the leader meant for a while, and after watching it carefully for a long time, she suddenly realized - isn't this her community?
So where is the leader now......
Fang Ze: Come out for a walk?
Chen Xing glanced at Lao Xu weakly, and pretended to hold his stomach and got up, "Oh, no, Lao Xu, I have to go out for a walk and accumulate food." ”
Lao Xu was chasing a bloody modern drama recently, and his eyes couldn't be removed from the TV, "Go, go, wear more clothes, and come back cold in the middle of the night." ”
Chen Xingxin said: When did I say that I would come back late?
A certain leader who was supposed to have a date with his brother for dinner was standing outside the corridor, looking like he wasn't driving, so he didn't know what was going on.
"Leader, you are here to supervise the work?" Chen Xing looked at Fang Ze's clothes, he was still wearing the gray coat he wore at work, and there was a shirt inside, and it was cold to look at.
She was wrapped in a thick down jacket, like a silkworm baby, Fang Ze made sure she was not cold before walking out, "I let the Ferrari drive away in my car, and he asked his sister to go out and throw me on the side of the road." ”
Chen Xing: "......"
What kind of plastic love is this?
"What kind of expression do you have?" Fang Ze knew when he saw her like that he didn't think seriously, which caused him to be awkward for half the night, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go all the way to explain to her, "Ferrari is my teacher's close apprentice, and he is my brother's." ”
Chen Xing didn't seem to understand the meaning of his explanation, and nodded, "Oh, I just want to say that you are like brothers." ”
Fang Ze: "......"
He didn't know if this girl was open or deliberately pretending to be stupid, and he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. It took many years for his heart to give birth to a seed of "ulterior motives", and he was struck by lightning as soon as he emerged, which was somewhat tragic, and he didn't know if he had a chance to grow up.
"How's your plan changed?" he changed the subject.
"To be honest?" Chen Xing shrunk his hands into his pockets, "Frankly speaking, I don't plan to change, I feel okay at the moment, probably because I don't have a better direction." ”
Fang Ze smiled, "The idea is okay, the direction is right, it's just that there is a lack of highlights, I'll take you somewhere." ”
Chen Xing thought that the leader could take her to an artistic place to find inspiration, but she didn't expect to go to the South Ring Bridge. The so-called South Ring Bridge is not a simple road name, it is a real bridge, but it is now abandoned. This piece of land used to be a downtown area, and the South Ring Bridge was a landmark, but the building, like people, always can't escape the "old age and decay", and has to retire after a certain number of years.
"Have you been to this place?" Fang Ze in Chen Xing's eyes didn't match this place, and he couldn't think of any intersection.
Fang Ze didn't answer, and led the way in a muffled voice, until he was close to the bottom of the South Ring Bridge, and then said, "Are you surprised that I've been here, I lived here when I was a child." ”
That's right, when he was a child, this was still a prosperous place, and it was normal to live here.
"I've also come to write my homework, do you believe it? Fang Zeshen walked shallowly, "There used to be water here, and when the water was shallow, I would go to that bridge arch to do my homework, and the writing was very smooth." ”
Although Chen Xing lives here, she has never paid attention to the South Ring Bridge, its glorious years have no intersection with her, and she has no attention value after she is down, and this place is a strange place for her to pass by every day.
At this time, I realized that this place is quite interesting, when people stand at the bottom of the bridge, they will have a "feeling of being in the city, but isolated from the outside world", which is quite suitable for a quiet and solitary one.
The South Ring Bridge has several arc-shaped arches, Fang Ze went up one of them along a small wooden ladder, and Chen Xing also followed, and couldn't help but be surprised, this is actually a small room!
There is no shortage of people sleeping in bridges and holes in the city, and every time a picture appears on the news, it is basically a refugee camp painting style, in short, it is the object of embarrassment. But if the bridges and caves are like this, then it's not an embarrassment, it's a proper envy - this is so cool!
The bridge is not very tilted, not as dangerous as it seems from the outside, not only does it not affect sitting and walking, but also makes the space very special, the cement wall is very industrial, a few wooden planks are set up as shelves, a few paintings are placed on the shelves, and a few candles. Below was a small wooden table taped to the wall, the height of which did not require a chair, just enough to reach from the slope, and on the other side there was a small wooden cabinet with a quilt in it.
"Leader, you won't tell me that you still live here, right?" Chen Xing felt that Fang Ze in front of her was different, which was very beyond her impression.
Fang Ze lit a candle, and the small room lit up, with a feeling of wild dwelling, "No, this place was made on a whim when I was in college, and occasionally came over to read books or paint, and later a homeless person found this place, I would rent it to them." ”
There is a small wooden sign on the wall, on which are written the requirements for staying overnight, as well as Fang Ze's personal contact information, if necessary, call the owner, the rent is not money, but everything needs to be maintained here.
This place is not quiet, all the noise in the city can come in, but when you sit here, you can take a short break from the hustle and bustle of the city, like a quiet space for the soul.
Chen Xing sat here trying to empty his brain and drive away all his worries, and his mind suddenly became clear. The concept of the hotel is a quiet space, how to find peace and true relaxation in the hustle and bustle of the city?
On Monday afternoon, the plan for the children's room was discussed again, and after Chen Xing presented the revised plan, Fang Ze had a feeling of brightness. She didn't make too many changes, just removed the decorative jumpy colors from before, and the overall color was more lightened, and the lighting was adjusted to look particularly soft.
The decorations that were originally chosen to cater to the children's element were greatly altered, replacing those that were defined as "children's elements" in the eyes of adults with elements that looked very clumsy, as if they were naturally decorated. For example, some decorative paintings, especially children's graffiti, and a wall where graffiti can be scribbled, break the previous definition of a hotel, which means that people who live in it do not need to think of it as a hotel, but can completely use it as their own nest.
A design work, especially space design, aside from the technical aspect, the sublimation point is actually to make people comfortable, just like a person, making people comfortable is the highest standard of life, which is not determined by appearance.
Like this, it doesn't seem to have changed much, but it feels much better than before, which is the designer's own breakthrough, as a designer, there will be many breakthroughs in her life, Fang Ze is happy for her first breakthrough.
Because of the abandonment of some decorations, the cost of Chen Xing's plan has been reduced a lot, which can be regarded as making up for some shortcomings. From everyone's heart, her works are obviously more advanced than Yu Tianming's, but aesthetics have to cater to the public, that is, to force yourself to be vulgar, so no one knows if her plan will be liked by the bid evaluation committee.
Yu Tianming said: "I think that putting aside the topic of children, Xiao Chen's plan will be better, you can say yes." ”
Most of the other colleagues didn't answer his words, with a neutral attitude, Yu Tianming happily played a round for himself, "Why don't you let Fang always choose, it's not bad to give young people a chance." ”
Chen Xing glanced at him, he didn't really understand what he was doing by himself, and he seemed to care more than she did if he talked too much.
Fang Ze carefully looked at the plans of the two again, and finally decided: "Both plans are kept, and Chen Xing will be responsible for explaining the plan tomorrow." ”
Sometimes the company participating in the bidding will give two or more plans at the same time, and the probability of winning the bid is relatively large, although the children's room is not the focus of consideration, but in case there is a plan to poke the owner's heart, it may become a plus weight.
So everyone thinks it's good to have this arrangement, and many times there is a comparison to see the gap.
But Chen Xing didn't understand why Fang Ze wanted her to explain, and he wasn't afraid that she would have stage fright for someone who had never participated in the bidding?
After returning home, Lao Xu said the truth: "Probably because you have a smooth mouth." ”
For this reason, Lao Xu specially bought her a pork tongue for breakfast the next day.
Isn't it okay to have stage fright and talk about it, it's not a trick to talk about the plan, you have to have the aura and adaptability of the spokesperson, no matter how you look at it, it's better for Mr. Fang to come to the stage himself.
"Don't be nervous, how to say that, our plan is here, it won't affect if you can't say it. "The bidding has begun, and the front Ze has given her a buck.
Chen Xing: "If I go up, I won't deduct the bonus, right?"
Fang Ze smiled, "Buckle." ”
Chen Xing: "......"
There are seven companies participating in the bidding, and the competition point may be between HZ and Gundam, but several others also have their own advantages, one of the company's chief designers is Chen Xing's fellow senior, graduated for more than ten years, and is still the light of his alma mater, occasionally returning to school to give lectures, Chen Xing will definitely go to listen to the class, the qualification is older than Fang Ze, and the level is well-known in the industry, so it is difficult to say who will fall in the end.
Gao Yuan didn't come, the chief designer of their company was Gao Yuan, and Huang Hao came with him, Gao Yuan greeted Fang Ze politely, "Yo, Mr. Fang boldly uses newcomers, this mind is not to be picked." ”
Fang Ze replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, our company has always relied on strength to speak." ”
This face is crackling, who doesn't know that Gao Yuan relies on his father to take the position.
Gao Yuan did not relent: "That's right, after all, Mr. Fang's 'strength' back then is obvious to all." ”
Fang Ze: "Make do, thank you for sure." ”
Who's going to praise you......
Chen Xing smiled secretly, and he was still very relieved when he led this mouth to the outside world.
