Chapter 164: Competitors
No one can understand Nie Guangyi's way of acting.
Including his old father.
There is only one exception.
Nie Guangyi had just arrived at the VIP lounge at the airport when he met Xuan Shi, who was also carrying luggage.
"What are you doing here?" Nie Guangyi asked angrily.
"With you." Xuan Shi's answer was as simple as only two words.
"Stay with me? Are you transgender? You keep your mouth shut to be with me. You are so willing to accompany me, and I want to see if I am willing to let you accompany me. β
Xuan Shi smiled and didn't answer this sentence.
If you want to say that she is good-looking, Xuan Shi is really good-looking.
It's the kind of beauty/handsomeness that is indisputable.
If Xuan Shi wears women's clothes, there is a high probability that he will be selected as one of the 100 most beautiful faces in the world.
It's really a pity that such a face grows on a man.
In terms of appearance alone, Xuan Shi is far higher than Cheng Nuo.
If you want to say that the only thing that is slightly insufficient, it may be that Xuanshi's height of 173 and Cheng Nuo directly tied with him.
"Aren't you going to get married? Come and stay with me now? Why do you want to learn from me to die alone? Nie Guangyi's mouth was straight, and there was nothing angry in his mouth, but his body was naturally close.
"I was also going to Padua for a wedding, so I should have gone there in advance to prepare."
"Is there any problem with your family?" Nie Guangyi hadn't called Cheng Nuo's name or coffin board for a long time.
"No, I don't. She knows it's your business, how can she have an opinion? β
"You're talking as if your family is very kind to me."
"You're really right, Arnold has always praised you."
"Do you mean that before you have a wedding, I'll go back and test it for you?" Nie Guangyi had a smile on his face, no matter how reluctant he looked.
"Whatever you want, Arnold and I, can withstand the test of the whole world, no matter time, no matter the distance, we are the only one for each other."
"Inexplicable...... According to Nie Guangyi's character, he should be said to be inexplicable.
At this time, it is rare to say the truth: "I still envy you a little inexplicably." β
"It's okay, we are just late in enlightenment, and there will be enviable times in the future."
"Hmm."
Nie Guangyi found a place next to Xuan Shi and sat down, opened his laptop and started working.
Xuan Shi asked aloud: "How did it become like this?" β
"Fedek asked me to go back at the beginning of the month, and I thought it was a small thing at the time, and I couldn't make any waves." Nie Guangyi also had nothing to hide from Xuan Shi, who chased him directly to the airport to accompany him to Italy.
"It's true that you haven't been back to Italy for too long. I can't even imagine that you would have to leave your two offices behind and return to China to prepare for the restoration of Wan'an Bridge. Xuan Shi stared at Nie Guangyi, so that Nie Guangyi didn't have a chance to talk about him left and right.
"I didn't actually think of it...... I was separated from my dad for so many years, and it felt a bit selfish to ask him to leave everything behind and come to Italy to accompany me. β
"If you're selfish, there are a few people in this world who aren't selfish. I mean, I thought you'd do both, flying around or something. β
"It's not like you don't know that I'm afraid of flying."
"I see you're much better now, you don't start nervous at the airport, and you can turn on the computer and start working."
"I was a little surprised, too. That go-around, I was fine at the time, and then I was fine all the way to the plane, but the moment I landed, the plane was a little unstable, and I swayed from side to side a few times, and my whole person felt wrong, and then I became more and more afraid to take the plane. β
"And how are you feeling now?"
"Now, I suddenly feel that flying is a normal thing. Whether it's a car or a yacht, on land or on water, there will be bumps, and bumps in the sky will definitely be normal. Cars have to go over speed bumps, right? Let's take a look at the plane later, I don't think anything should happen."
"If that's the case, you can do both in the future."
"Hopefully, this time it's a little bigger than I expected, and if I don't handle it well, I probably won't need to take care of it."
"Surely it can be handled, you and Keith have been competing for so many years, when has he been your opponent?"
"But this time it's different. This time, I gave him the handle myself. β
Nie Guangyi stared at the computer and began to quickly browse the information sent to him by his assistant.
When he was in Liaobo, Nie Guangyi first received the news sent to him by his assistant, and then saw Fedek's resignation.
Fedec is a protΓ©gΓ© of Professor Nie and the current de facto head of the Padua firm.
Fedek's choice to resign at this time shows that things are out of his control.
This matter began to ferment two days ago, but it has always been a small fight.
Nie Guangyi also never thought that after leaving Italy for so long, he could directly become a news hotspot.
And it's not like before, either winning awards, or the top five diamond kings.
Nie Guangyi knew about this matter, and he was ready to go back.
He thought that he would fly to Liaobo first, overcome his fear of short-distance flights, and wait until he finished confessing to the girl, and long-distance flights should be no problem.
I really didn't think that things would suddenly erupt, and I didn't think that Fedek would resign at this time.
As soon as Federk left, the entire Padua office was in shambles.
From assistant to director, they all started looking for new jobs.
If he doesn't go back now, many of the firm's projects will be lost, and the architects who have been following him since graduation will also be terrified.
"Handle, are you talking about the Concetto di Aurora and the Aurora Intention colliding with the Eye? Didn't you withdraw the award at that time? β
"Yes, but it also left a record, and I admit that my concept design was only conceived after the Aurora in China was built. Even I can't explain why, and it's normal for people to be questioned. β
"But the topic that is getting noisy now is that you plagiarized Keith's graduation project. I've made all the designs you've made since graduating from college. If Keith didn't mean it, how did those manuscripts come out? β
"Feng Shui takes turns, when I graduated from college, they all said that Keith copied me."
"I think this must be Keith's handiwork, deliberately hacking you while you're not there." Xuan Shi insisted on the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I don't think so, I've been competing with him for so many years, and I don't feel like I'm competing anymore. Over the years, Keith has lost to me every time, but he has also lost with dignity. β
"You're still willing to speak for him."
"It's kind of an offbeat sympathy, and the two of us often have similar design directions. They compete for the same award every time, and often bid on the same project. β
"Then he's more suspicious, isn't he?"
"People like Keith are still kind of high-minded."
"If it weren't for him, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
"Well, it's me who is so confident that I've been held in the clouds all the time, and I have forgotten what it's like to fall headfirst to the ground."
"You're supposed to be in the clouds, Keith is a talented architect at best, and it's impossible for him to get a degree in architecture, civil engineering, environmental arts, and materials science like you."
"It's not that you get more degrees to avoid being prosecuted."
"How many are there suing now?"
"Five."
"How can there be so many?"
"Who made your generalized brother charge more expensive than others? Aren't people coming for the aura of your generalized brother star architect? If it doesn't work out this time, I'll be bankrupt and rely on you to raise me. β
"Raise your little things." Xuan Shi felt that this was not a matter of raising or not raising at all.
"I just like Brother Xuanshi's atmosphere, it's a pity, I originally wanted to retire and find a girl to hug me."
"Huh? Didn't you confess and go? Didn't it go well? β
"It went well. It's just that I finished confessing, and the pilot brother of the girl also confessed together. β
"Brother? Do you say Zongguang? β
"Do you know that Zongguang and Mengxinzhi are not related by blood?"
"You know, when I accompanied Arnold to open a cafΓ© in Aurora, I often heard Zongyi tell the story of their family."
"I'm the only one who thinks this news is new. It's ridiculous to think about it, I originally wanted to go the brother-in-law route. Nie Guangyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have done so many counterproductive strategies in vain. β
"What's wrong? Because there is one more strong competitor, it will directly retreat? Didn't you say it two days ago, if you go to confess, you will be caught, and you will have to hold a wedding earlier than me. β
"What kind of hand, my opponent is only myself." Nie Guangyi asked rhetorically: "With the situation that I may go bankrupt at any time, do you think I can still make the girl think that my confession yesterday was serious?" β
"Then you just gave up?"
"Hmm. It's better for me to die alone. It's not enough to plague Huo Sijia for so many years, do you want to harm another one? β
"You and Huo Sijia, who harms who doesn't know yet?"
"The scourge is always mutual. Just like your Cheng Nuo. β
"How can we be called a scourge? Although there are twists and turns in the middle, they are also tests for each other. It made me know more firmly that no one can do it but Arnold. It's the same with Arnold. β
In Nie Guangyi's heart, inadvertently, a trace of envy flashed.
In the past, he only envied those who were flowery.
You can like this today, that tomorrow, or even several at the same time.
And he has only had a failed marriage from beginning to end.
In the years he was with Liao Sijia, not only did he have no marriage history, but he was also young and golden.
In that way, he tried desperately, but he couldn't stop the two of them from drifting apart.
Now he not only has a history of marriage, but also is old.
Even the only advantage of having a successful career has become unknown.
Nie Guangyi didn't know what he wanted to use as confidence.
I'm glad I only admitted that I drank fragments.
