"When they approached me to design the building, they knew they needed my style."

"You're right, but who paid for the construction?"

"Even if you sacrifice some practicality for the sake of design value, there will be a premium on the cost of construction, but this is something you are willing to do, and I have never used my identity as a designer to force a client to change the budget."

"You're right, but who paid for the construction?"

"Now I will not change my mind because of Party A's opinion, which is implemented in the contract, and Party A has already known in advance. It's a two-way street, and I don't think it's offensive to treat it as my work. ”

"You're right......"

Tang Ze, who was standing on the side, listened to Asai Narumi's repetition of the scriptures with the same change, and looked at Teiji Moriya's face that was getting redder and redder, and was close to the color of pig liver, and pressed his fist against his mouth, so as not to restrain the upward corners of his mouth from being discovered by Teiji Moriya.

Today, he and Asai Narumi are indeed here to debate the scriptures.

Teiji Moriya's personality and psychological state are destined to be an extremely egoistic and arrogant person, and as a stranger who lacks status support, it is difficult to try to communicate with him in a peaceful way.

As we all know, if you want to communicate with the big guy, or rather, the insiders who think they are the big guys, the most effective way is not to send "Meng Xin, I want to ask if there is a suitable XXX for entry", but to directly send "I think the entry-level XX is garbage, and none of them can be used".

The former will be ignored directly by veterans who are too lazy to reach out to sprout new science popularization, while in the latter, you can easily get very detailed parameters and horizontal comments in a long debate.

So of course, Tang Ze also chose such a provocative contact method, trying to find the palace information of Emperor Moriya in the shortest possible time.

But although they want to laugh very much, they still have to sing red face and white face, so that Emperor Moriya will be completely anxious at this time.

So Tang Ze finally said a reasonable word: "However, the person who is willing to ask Professor Sengu to complete the architectural design also has a demand for the landmark attribute of the building, even if it increases the expenditure and weakens the practical attribute, it is understandable." ”

He turned his head and looked at the glass display case behind him again.

The miniature model of the city, delicate and delicate, under the light of the display case, even the glass that is only the size of a fingertip, reflects a translucent luster, it is not difficult to see how the people who made it love this work.

"For example, the design plan for the city of Seitama. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that Professor Moriya has taken on a large-scale urban planning and design project, and he has done a good job of striking a balance between functionality and aesthetics. ”

The topic was successfully introduced to Seishitama City, and Moriya Teiji's expression eased slightly, and he walked to the cabinet, stretched out his hand and stroked these exquisite building models, sighed, and slowly calmed down his emotions.

After more than 20 years in the industry, he has encountered doubts and received never a lot of criticism, and if it weren't for the fact that today's guy in fancy dress happened to hit his sore spot, his emotions would not have gotten out of control to this point.

After all, this is an exhibition of his works, and there are a lot of media and fans on the scene, and there is no problem arguing with people, but the posture is too ugly, so it is a little inappropriate.

So Teiji Moriya quickly adjusted his facial expression, and re-revealed the expression of a respected old artist.

"I don't deny that there are many architects, as this pianist said, who ignore the objective difficulties of the client, blindly pursue their own design ideas, make works that are contrary to the needs, and ask for a lot of money, and think very highly of themselves, but I am not one of them. My philosophy is to take responsibility for my past decisions, and that's the case in terms of aesthetics...... The same is true in a social sense. ”

These words sounded much more structured than his self-remarks in a hurry.

So the onlookers applauded lightly for a while.

“…… So, you recognize that the value of architecture lies in the design, but also in the users who pay for the design and make the design come into practice, right? Asai Narumi restrained his mocking tone, looked at the thin side face of Teiji Moritani, and asked meaningfully.

Teiji Moriya rolled his eyes and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

This guy seems to have something to say, not because of a difference in ideas, but because of something more specific, against his disapproval.

Could it be that you are planning to do so in the near future......

No, it shouldn't be, he never announced his secret thoughts, and when it comes to those old works that make him sleepless, he has always only expressed regret, emphasizing that it does not represent his own style, and he has not shown any aggression, and there is no reason to be discovered.

If there is really any place where he has expressed his desire to destroy these shameful pasts, it is only "that website".

A public Internet site is not foolproof or surprising in terms of information security methods, but since he got those things, he has never doubted the intentions of the website.

That site, and now he is already a grasshopper on a rope.

After a few turns of thought, Teiji Moriya still turned around, facing the visitors who were constantly questioning, and said word by word: "Yes, I agree." Design, only when it lands, from the spirit of nothingness, to the fruit of the harvest. This is a miracle that connects the spiritual world with reality, and I have great respect for its appearance. ”

Because of this, the mottled debris that defiles this miracle needs to be removed.

"As for the planning of Seitama City, I am just saddened by the unexpected fall of this miracle due to some practical setbacks. It was supposed to be the pearl of Tokyo, the most brilliant treasure of my work, like the capital of my kingdom...... It's really, really, a shame. ”

At this time, the staff of the organizers finally took a big breath.

He was afraid that this uneasy-tempered architect would become a farce because of the differences in ideas and the greater conflict between the visitors in the venue.

didn't care if Emperor Moriya had other important points to express next, he took the lead in applauding vigorously, and at the same time shouted in admiration: "It is worthy of Mr. Moriya, it is really very personable, admire and admire!" ”

He didn't stop after praising it, for fear that everyone's attention would still fall on Teiji Moriya and the people who clashed with him, so he simply turned around and exaggerated his tone, as if he had suddenly turned into a gushing tour guide: "Everyone, this is a concept design that has not been implemented, and you don't have the opportunity to see it at any time." If you miss this time, you may never have the opportunity to see Professor Moriya's only large-scale building complex plan in the future. Don't miss out! ”

The atmosphere was slowly brought up by him, and all kinds of admiration followed, and more visitors gathered around the display cabinet behind Emperor Moriya, and some people even took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures of these miniatures.

A few reporters with media cards even leaned over with long guns and short guns, and looking at their expressions, they guessed that they had extracted the key words of the news from this passage and were ready to go back to hype up some new concepts.

Teiji Moriya withdrew the unkind gaze cast on Asai Narumi, turned his head to look at Tang Ze, and his tone was slightly gentler: "You are learning to paint." Do you have a teacher, or are you still in basic training? ”

An art student from a poor family, on weekdays, he may not be able to serve many at a glance.

As a well-known architect in the industry and a faculty member at Toto University, he has seen countless talented students, a young child who does not seem to have reached adulthood, and is not a worthy object of energy.

But today, perhaps because he was grateful that the other party had different ideas from himself, but he still spoke out, or perhaps he deliberately wanted to try to change the other party's mind, and the so-called pianist opposite, he rarely showed some patience and talked to this young man.

"I've studied with my teacher, Professor Moriya, and you've probably heard of my teacher." Tang Ze turned around, and replied calmly in a voice that was more deep and mature than his own, "He is a Japanese painter named Ruyue Fengshui. ”

"Oh, Mr. Ruzuki...... "Because of the difference in the field, it is true that he has never been in contact with the other party, but he has also heard of this old gentleman, and the second emperor of Moriya is in awe, "I have long admired the daimyo." His paintings of Mt. Fuji are full of unique sensibility and freehand, and I also look forward to his paintings. No wonder you have so many ideas about art theory at such a young age, and it turns out that you studied with such a famous teacher. ”

With such a compliment on his lips, Teiji Moriya couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.

Although he really doesn't know Ruyue Fengshui due to the difference in age and circle, he can be regarded as a celebrity in the art field, and he has heard of some anecdotes about chasing the wind and shadows.

Legend has it that although Ruyue Fengshui was not greedy for materialism, because of his love for Mt. Fuji, he specially purchased a mountain villa with a view of Mt. Fuji, so that he could enjoy the paintings every day and polish his mood.

Considering the location and area, coupled with the bonus of this view, this villa cost a lot of money, almost exhausted the wealth he had accumulated, and even took a lot of related loans, so although Ruyue Fengshui is not greedy for pleasure, he still cares about the income situation, and the apprentices he accepts are either rich or expensive, which is quite a bit of buying and selling his own name.

Ruyue Fengshui will actually accept students from ordinary families, does this child have any extraordinary talent?

"Well, in fact, I can't be considered a disciple of Teacher Ruyue." Receiving the inquiring look of Emperor Moriya, Tang Ze, who was pulling the tiger skin, talked nonsense without blinking, "I got acquainted with the teacher because of some accidents, he thinks that I have a certain talent in Japanese painting, but the basic skills still need to be honed, just let me follow the audit for the time being, I can give him advice, but I can't call myself his disciple." ”

Emperor Moriya was stunned.

Understood, there is a certain talent, but the money is not enough.

The talent is good, so Ruyue Fengshui is willing to point out the other party's paintings, but the money is not enough, so he is not worthy of using his name to go out for activities.

Quickly made an assessment of the young man in front of him, and Teiji Moriya glanced at him with some pity.

The content of what the yin and yang head said is very correct, that is, the person who invites him will spend a lot of money, in other words, even if Emperor Moriya is among his peers, he is also the one with the highest fee, and he is not bad at all.

"Ms. Kisaragi appreciates your design concept for Seishtama City." Tang Ze nodded politely, and blurted out a set of nonsense, "You rarely build a grandiose super high-rise building in order to blindly emphasize the landmark attributes, the teacher appreciates your concept, and thinks that if Setama City changes designers, it will be difficult to do this." ”

"Mr. Ruyue is an artist who has the same persistence as me." Emperor Moriya nodded in agreement.

Isn't it the same insistence, the reasons for the onset of the two of you are similar, they are both obsessive-compulsive disorder outbreaks, but the style of the outbreaks is different.

Tang Ze scolded like this, and nodded his head without changing his face.

Yusuke Kitagawa's identity is made out of nothing, and pulling the tiger skin like this is actually a bit of a risk of exposure.

But after some thought, Tang Ze decided to add such a layer of buff.

First, in the face of a snob like Emperor Moritani, it is difficult to get enough respect without an identity background at all, such a plausible backer as Yue Fengshui can raise the other party's psychological expectations;

Second, Tang Ze is not afraid of goofs at all.

Rutsuki Minemizu is 65 years old and Teiji Moriya is 47 years old, one is a pure traditional painter, the other is an architect who focuses on the design of public buildings, considering their age and field, it is difficult for their interpersonal relationships to overlap, and it is almost impossible to obtain evidence from each other.

Coupled with such a vague statement of a named disciple, the possibility of goofing is even lower.

So when Tang Ze took the invitation letter from Emperor Moritani, he didn't even have a look of surprise on his face.

"This is a small salon that I hold at my home, Kitagawa-kun, and many celebrities in the industry will come to attend. Art cannot be done behind closed doors, and what kind of circle you communicate with is likely to determine the height you can go and seize the opportunity. ”

Emperor Moriya looked at this young man with some sympathy, and with some superiority, he felt that his meaning had been expressed clearly enough, and he also felt that the invitation he handed over was enough to help solve the siege today.

For a young man of some talent at this age, his salon is definitely an opportunity to take a step to the sky.

As long as you can get to know some wealthy people who are willing to invest in art donations, in order to maintain their style and connections, those famous families will have many art-related funds and organizations, including private art collections, and they can get the blue eyes of one or two people, and they will not be mixed up to the extent that even the official disciples of Ruyue Fengshui can't reach it.

No matter how bad it is......

After looking at the young man's bloodless face for a moment, Moriya thought to himself.

Relying on this look, hooking up with a few ladies and ladies who like down-and-out painters is also a way out, isn't it?

————

"An art salon? It's boring, why do you have to ask me to go. ”

After opening the invitation and taking a few glances, Kogoro Mori threw it on the table with a lack of interest.

He also tried to go to some symphony concerts with Fei Yingli back then, trying to get to know more people, but at the end of the one-and-a-half-hour concert, his impression was that the seats were very comfortable and he slept very soundly.

"Originally, the other party invited Shinichi, but Shinichi didn't have time to go, didn't Shinichi? Dr. Asa gave it to me. Mao Lilan took his mobile phone, looked up the information about Teiji Moritani, and said with great interest, "This is a famous artist, and there must be many celebrities in his salon, right?" Celebrities, rich businessmen, celebrities from all walks of life will have some ......"

"Hmm......" Mori Kogoro's attitude hesitated, and he picked up the invitation letter sent to Kudo Shinichi again and looked at it carefully.

If nothing else, getting to know a few more wealthy people is indeed helpful for the income increase of the commission......

The actual invitee, Shinichi Kudo himself, who was unable to attend, withdrew his eyes from the father and daughter, and continued to pick up the window of the office and look at the street below.

He really didn't know any Moritani Teiji, just in case, he also called his parents and reconfirmed the fact that they really didn't know each other.

God knows why he sent a special invitation to him, a high school student detective......

Maybe he wanted to invite his father, but I heard that the Kudo couple was not in the country all year round.

Hey, even the editor who urged the update to fly around the world couldn't stop his freedom-loving parents, and it was really wishful thinking to arrest him successfully by means of an invitation.

He pondered aimlessly, his eyes lit up when he noticed the people downstairs.

He watched here for a long time, just to block Tang Ze, who didn't know where he ran and didn't reply to his emails.

Xiaolan's phone call in the morning made him recall a lot of details about that man at once, and he now has a lot of questions to communicate with Tang Ze.

"Brother Tang Ze is back, I'll go down to him to read—" He shouted in a long voice, and he went downstairs without hesitation.

"Why are you looking for him to read, I think you want to go out to eat with him...... It's still cold, you two eat less ice cream! Looking at Conan's agile back, Mori Kogoro raised his voice and admonished.

Maoliran looked up from the screen of his phone, looked at Conan's back as he disappeared into the stairwell, pursed his lips, and lowered his head again in silence.

Maori Kogoro, who thought she would also say a few words about her parents, glanced at her silent daughter with some surprise: "Xiaolan, don't you say a few more words?" Tang Ze is the same, he plays around with elementary school students all day long, and he doesn't know what to do. ”

Mao Lilan brushed the hair on his sideburns, let it go for a few seconds, and slowly exhaled.

“…… That's Tang Ze after all. Mao Lilan picked up his phone again, stared at the web news with black on a white background, and whispered, "To Tang Ze, I should rest assured, right?" ”

Is that so, Conan, and Tang Zejun?
