Chapter 167: My Own Style
In the battle of the land, the Yan family won beautifully. This price exceeded the expectations of most real estate developers, and another consequence was that the "rumors" about Yan's cash flow crisis were self-defeating. This piggybacking "achievement" is simply a surprise. But Yan Juan saw Yan Yixin's face and felt that this was probably thought of a long time ago, maybe this was the reason why he persuaded the board of directors!
"However, the funds needed for the land ......" Yan Juan was a little worried.
"It's an accountant's business, not ours." Yan Yixin is in a good mood.
"But ......," Yan Wan stammered, "you're the CEO!" ”
"Rest assured, our bid for this land has exceeded most people's expectations, and the bank has taken the initiative to throw an olive branch, and the loan provided has increased by 10% over the same period."
"Oh." Yan Juan nodded as if he didn't understand. The problem of funding, probably even if it is solved, right? And it is also the initiative of others, and the conditions are generous.
"Let's go, let's go to Zhouzhuang." Yan Yixin's shirt sleeves were half-pulled, and there was neither worry about cash flow nor the pride on his face after the victory.
"Now?" Yan Juan then remembered that today was already Friday.
"Yes, it's more than a two-hour drive, just in time to go to Zhouzhuang for dinner."
"However, my luggage is still reasonable......" Yan Juan thought that he couldn't go this week, so he didn't prepare anything.
"It's okay, I can lend it to you, including the whole person." Yan Yixin held her hand, not caring if anyone would see it.
Thankfully, on Friday afternoon, the designers were almost empty. Besides, there are only her, Liu Li and the assistants of the two people on this floor, and they are not surprised at all by Yan Yixin's behavior of coming to her during work hours.
What's more, from the corridor to the elevator, there is not even a shadow of a person to be seen.
Yan Juan's face was still burning ambiguously for the words he put in his ear, and only then did he notice that Yan Yixin came prepared today and drove an off-road vehicle that he rarely used.
On the highway, there may not be an advantage in speed, but the seats are wide. It's the best way to go long distances.
The oleanders on both sides of the highway are in full bloom. From a distance, the view was blocked by tall trees on both sides.
"You can sleep first, let's go to the Shen Hall Restaurant for dinner in a while." Then, you can visit Zhouzhuang at night, and the scenery is no worse than the day! Yan Yixin's gaze was only a slight glance.
"Shen Hall?" Yan Juan found himself curled up in his seat, his eyelids were already a little heavy.
"Yes, go and try Wan San Hoof, this is Zhouzhuang's signature dish."
"These people are really good at doing business, making a theme, and borrowing Shen Wansan's name." Yan Wan smiled, "Shen Hall won't be Shen Wansan's house, right?" ”
"Of course not, it was built by Shen Benren, a descendant of Shen Wansan, in the Qianlong year, and it is the most magnificent and solemn ancient building in Zhouzhuang."
"Shen Wansan is the object of your businessman's worship, right?"
"Just like you designers, you worship ......"
Yan Juan heard him report a lot of names, some of them had heard of it, some of them had not, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Actually, I don't mean that I came from a professional class, so I have at least half of your predecessors, and I haven't heard of it." ”
"It's okay." Yan Yixin was noncommittal, "You don't need to create under their 'yin' shadow, you have your own aura." Liu Li told me that you have already begun to form your own unique style. ”
"Really? My style? Yan Juan was taken aback and looked at Yan Yixin with wide eyes.
"Well, delicate and graceful, novel and 'refined', the latest set of twelve golden hairpins has shown your style to the fullest."
"Do I have that style?" Yan Qian wondered how to recall her work, but she didn't find a clear representation of her style.
"It shows that you have gotten rid of the imitation nest and formed your own unique style."
Yan Juan self-reflected, but still shook his head blankly: "I don't think it's any different from the previous design. ”
"It's a no-brainer for you." Yan Yixin's smile was very subtle.
In the rest of the time, Yan Juan recalled Yan Yixin's words with surprise and joy, a little incredulous, a little complacent, and a little dazed.
The expression of the 'fine' color on her face was seen by Yan Yixin. He remained moderately silent until he paid for the parking and reminded the 'female' who wanted to enter the middle of the world with a smile: "Juan, Zhou Zhuang has arrived." ”
"Huh? Arrived? ”
Yan Juan tilted his head to the window, and the car slowly drove into the street.
Zhouzhuang, known as "China's first water town", has gained fame in recent years, and it is hard to imagine that this town has been located in a corner of Suzhou for a long time, almost closed.
Most of the current dwellings are buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The years have passed, but they still faithfully maintain the style of the past.
Arcade, water pavilion, river port, stone bridge...... These buildings with a strong Jiangnan water town flavor are gray and white in the vast twilight.
"Let's go, let's go to the hotel first." Yan Yixin was carrying a thin duffel bag, which made Yan Juan wonder if the contents were enough for him to use alone.
Such a warehouse may have to find a supermarket to buy daily necessities for a while.
"Actually, it's not a long time for us to go back first!" Yan Juan complained a little shallowly. She even forgot that her new "home" was only five minutes away from the company, including the time to go up and down the stairs.
"This kind of casualness has a unique flavor." Yan Yixin explained with a smile.
The hotel was booked by the secretary two days in advance, and said that Yan Juan imagined the high-rise building. A high-rise house with 'flower' windows and pink walls and tiles looks more like a dwelling. What is gratifying is that one side faces the street, and the other side is against the river, and the style of the whole building is antique.
"It's nice to be here." Yan Juan followed Yan Yixin upstairs with emotion.
On the second floor, facing the window, is a double room with mahogany. It seems that Yan Yixin has made up his mind and is in the same room with her today. Yan Xuan's face was only slightly red, and his heart beat slightly, and he supported his decision.
Save the money for a room, and they can have a good meal along the small streets of Zhouzhuang.
The "bed" sheet is a blue "color" printed "flower" white cloth, which echoes the wooden window coffin, which makes Yan Juan feel that he is riding the arrow of time, and suddenly returns to the early stage of ***.
"Living here, I just don't want to go back......" Yan Juan lay down on the 'bed' into a "big" word, "It's obvious that you're driving, but why do I feel like my bones are about to fall apart?" ”
"Who told you to sit there all the way and think about it?" Yan Yixin gloated and lay down beside her, his forehead brushing his face, and there was a little itchy feeling.
Fortunately, it has passed the eleventh golden holiday, and they did not see the tourists who are like dumplings. Walking on the joints of the small bridge and flowing water, it was stained with earthly glitz, and it was washed all at once.
"It's so expensive here!" Yan Juan only had the opportunity to take the menu after Yan Yixin finished ordering. sighed, not praising Zhouzhuang's Xianjiang Sanzhen and Wansan hooves, but focusing on the price list.
Yan Yixin couldn't cry or laugh: "You think this is still a rural area!" ”
"Yes, I used to go to northern Jiangsu with my classmates, and the things there were cheap. A few dollars a dish, the important thing is that the portion is particularly sufficient.
The plates don't look big, but they're deep. It's like a big hotel in City A, the plate looks big, but it can't hold anything at all! ”
"This is Sunan." Yan Yixin explained with a smile, "Besides, Zhouzhuang is now famous, and the price is not cheaper than Shanghai. But there are some things that you can't eat anywhere else, and it's not like that. ”
Mansan hooves, steamed mandarin fish, steamed stewed eel tubes, sea bass soup with Uran, ginger snails...... The dishes of the Jiangnan water town, like this town, are quiet everywhere.
Even if it is a thick and colorful ten thousand scattered hooves, in the white porcelain plate, you can't feel the grandeur of eating a large piece of 'meat' at all.
"Why is it a mandarin fish and a sea bass?" Yan Juan was a little distressed about the table full of dishes. It seems that no matter how much she lets go of the belly plug, half of it is destined to be 'wasted'.
"These are two kinds of fish, and you can't go to Zhouzhuang without eating fish."
However, there is no need to order so much, right? In addition, there are clams, whitebait, and eel on the plate that comes up at the back...... Yan Juan suspected that he wanted to taste Zhouzhuang's fish all at once, right?
As long as you are willing to sacrifice the money in your pocket, the taste of these dishes is really delicious. It's just such a simple steaming, and it is also eaten with Yan Wan's eyebrows stretched.
"The hoof looks greasy, but it doesn't taste like it. Well, the shape is also beautiful, but you can't use it in jewelry. ”
Three sentences do not leave the bank...... Yan Yixin could only look at Yan Juan and smile bitterly.
"Ah, this whitebait is in good shape, two entwined like it...... It's beautiful. I can use dolphins, this animal has a more elegant shape, and it should be very innovative to make a pendant in this position, right? Yan Juan got inspiration from the two small whitebait fish that had just been fished out of the soup pot.
"Okay, let's not talk about work." Yan Yixin reminded helplessly.
"It's not work, it's the joy of life." Yan Wanqiang reasoned, "This kind of treatment of my sentence should cause the 'tide' and 'women' to be sought after." You can choose blue tourmaline, which is elegant in color and shape. It's just that blue tourmaline is rare, and although other colors can also be used, I always feel that it is not as harmonious as blue ......."
Pure 'color' blue tourmaline is quite rare, and most of them have a green 'color' hue. Moreover, due to the double "color" and "nature" of tourmaline, it is a challenge for cutters to fully express the blue "color" side of tourmaline. If the cutting direction is wrong, not only will the beautiful blue 'color' not be revealed, but there is also a possibility that the tourmaline will suddenly shatter during the cutting process due to internal tension.
"I said, you just take care of the design, and I'll take care of the materials." Seeing that Yan Juan began to frown again, Yan Yixin could only give up persuasion and become her strong backing instead.
