Chapter Forty-Eight: Gu Lao's Anger II
On the podium, Gu Lao took the envelope handed by the host, and his hands trembled a little.
The cloudy pupils looked at the unopened envelope in his hand, and a trace of expectation crossed his eyes. When people are old, they always can't bear to start with some old partners, and they still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
The 'Qianjiang Cup' Best New Architect is one of the most important awards, which can be said to be a signature award.
So even if this only award is fair, Gu Lao can give himself an excuse, a step, a step to treat his old partner well!
'Tear pull. β
Gu Lao tore open the envelope in his hand and took out the results.
'Qianjiang Cup' Best Newcomer Architect: Wei Xiangyang! Three bold fonts suddenly appeared in his eyes, and these three words blew away the last hesitation in Gu Lao's heart.
I saw Gu Lao holding an envelope in his hand, looking at the many designers sitting in the audience with an expressionless face.
Everyone on the judges' bench realized that something was wrong for the first time, and their previous cheerful smiles were all put away, and their faces were tense.
The serious, tense, and oppressive atmosphere is contagious and gradually spreads from the judges' bench.
The same is true of the first-class design institutes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design Institute, Greentown Architectural Design Institute, and Provincial Construction Institute, which sit in the front row. The audience was full of tension and depression, there was silence, and everyone was calm.
Although Gu Lao is getting older day by day, his prestige and means are still not diminished. Just standing with a straight face, it scared these little people silently!
One person in the solemnity of the audience stood out extraordinarily, only to see Wei Xiangyang staring at the envelope in Gu Lao's hand with a pair of eyes.
'Da Da'
On the podium, the microphone in front of Veteran Gu moved slightly, making a burst of noise. Moving the microphone to the appropriate position, Gu Lao took a deep breath and was about to speak!
It was Wei Xiangyang who was speaking at the same time as Gu Lao's speech, and he saw Wei Xiangyang standing up with joy on his face.
In the depressing and serious environment of the audience, Wei Xiangyang stood up violently with joy!
'Whew! β
At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to Wei Xiangyang, with surprise and mockery in their eyes.
"All the awards of this 'Qianjiang Cup'" Gu Lao paused word by word, and said sonorously: "I, Gu Donglin, don't admit it!" β
When the words fell, Gu Lao tore off the envelope in his hand one by one.
Wei Xiangyang, who was standing in a daze, was about to go on stage to accept the award, but his action stopped abruptly. Covering his face with one hand, there is an urge to dig a hole and drill down!
'Wow! β
"I, Gu Donglin, don't admit it!" It was like a thunderclap that echoed through the hall.
For a moment, everyone in the audience was frightened, and everyone was silent, looking at the not-so-tall figure on the podium at a loss.
Several of the judges on the judges' bench looked at each other, their faces were very bad and heavy.
Gu Lao is not only in prestige, but also far from being able to compete with these people in all aspects such as influence, connections, and background!
"I, Gu Donglin, have worked hard for Jiangnan architecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and for Huaguo architecture all my life."
"I, Gu Donglin, founded the 'Qianjiang Cup!' in order to discover and cultivate more outstanding designers!" β
"I'm Gu Donglin"
Gu Lao's words were very low. It seems to be narrating, as if it is questioning, and it is even more like hating it.
The words slammed into the hearts of many designers.
"Yes, I entered the design industry with a noble mindset!"
"But what's going on now? For the sake of money, he began to cheat, and began to flatter Party A. β
"I lost my original pursuit, I lost my dream. In this way, how can we design buildings that give people positive energy? β
With Gu Lao's words, everyone gradually began to reflect.
"Re-selected! Re-selected! β
Suddenly, a young and loud voice came from the crowd.
The young voice quickly aroused many responses, starting from the third-rate design institute at the back.
Gradually, except for the most gloomy Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design Institute, everyone shouted loudly!
"Re-selected! Re-selected! β
"We want fairness and justice! Reject the monopoly! β
This shout seemed to be a slap on the face of everyone in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design Institute.
The previous awards were almost covered by them, and now it's unfair to say it, doesn't it mean that their projects are not good or excellent?
Led by the dean, all of them have black faces. Many shouting designers looked at the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design Institute with indignant eyes from time to time.
Feng Shui takes turns, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design Institute, which was still the focus of everyone and the object of the knot, was isolated at this moment. Just like the people who had isolated MΓΌller before.
"Re-selected!" The old cow also stood up straight, raised his thick arms, and shouted vigorously.
Gu Lao listened to the shouts, and watched the smiles that disappeared on the faces of everyone in the audience finally show up again.
"Good! Then we will re-award all the awards! Gu Lao's voice suddenly rose up, and an unprecedented force erupted.
Gu Lao directly ignored the reaction of the judges in the front row, and seemed to have returned to the domineering and methods of his youth, and said very firmly.
The director of the Provincial Department of Construction and the other judges had dark faces and looked embarrassed in their seats. It's not moving, it's not moving!
"We will now start to evaluate the major awards of the 'Qianjiang Cup'!" Veteran Gu rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Every designer here this time is a judge!" β
"Every vote you have determines the award." Gu Lao decided to select on the spot, and everyone was a judge.
"The first 'Qianjiang Cup' Best Residential Building!" Gu Lao asked the backstage to play the video introduction again, and then said: "The staff will distribute the voting notes below, and everyone will have one vote!" Pick the best residential building in your mind. β
After Gu Lao's voice fell, ten staff members walked out of the award hall! The staff quickly distributed the pieces of paper prepared in their hands, one per person.
By secret ballot, each designer picked up his pen and solemnly wrote down what he thought was the best home.
Everyone thinks in different directions and has different preferences, which also creates diversity in voting.
Some people focus on function, while others focus on styling
Of course, the best home is the one that most people love.
There are many staff members who are looking at the statistics, as well as Gu Lao, who is supervising on the side. All the shortlisted designers are nervous again, this is a battle with real knives and guns!
Wei Xiangyang, who won the award before, had a gloomy face.
Gu Lao didn't let everyone wait too long.
"Congratulations to the Lu Yuanfeng team of Greentown Design Institute!" Gu Lao looked at the final result and announced with a smile: "The English-style mansion designed by Lu Yuanfeng's team is very cleverly handled in terms of space atmosphere, which is worth learning from all of us!" β
"Please staff collect the previous trophy and we'll do it again!"
Mu Lao's fluttering words dealt a second blow to Wei Xiangyang, who was already black-faced, again.
The trophy hasn't warmed you up yet, and you're going to have to be recycled again? Wei Xiangyang had a feeling that he had been played badly.
