Chapter 13: All in the Middle!
It only took half a month to hand over the project at hand and deal with everything, Yu Xingbo became a free man under the farewell of the company's boss, and the opening of the studio was also put on the agenda, and the opening day was set at the time that Shan Liang said, that is, on the two-month anniversary of Yu Xingbo's marriage, Hu Yufeng, who was small, had already set the matter of arriving on the opening day, Yu Xingbo originally wanted to invite Shan Liang to come, but a phone call went over, Shan Liang inquired about the layout of the studio, gave two suggestions, and then sent Yu Xingbo without time, and called Hu Yufeng to ask him to help send a flower basket, this matter has become a thing of the past in advance in Shan Liang's eyes.
This made Yu Xingbo feel a little crying and laughing, dare to love your old man, kill or bury it, so Yu Xingbo called Hu Yufeng again to complain, Hu Yufeng couldn't help but smile and comforted Yu Xingbo for a while after listening to all the things that happened, in Hu Yufeng's eyes, this is too classic in the current single-beam style, the seven brothers now want to see each other and run to the mountain to see, or they can't see the time when Shan Liang goes down the mountain at all, especially now when a single father and mother travel.
The studio opened as scheduled on the set day, and now Yu Xingbo is thinking about how to beat the name of the studio out and complete a strong studio debut, after all, if a studio can become an instant hit, it is a good sign, if a studio frequently fails in the early stage of opening, this is a big blow to the studio's reputation in the industry, and it will also lose its personal reputation that has been accumulated in the industry and become a laughing stock in the industry.
By chance, Yu Xingbo got the news that a wealthy man on Hong Kong Island wanted to build a garden, but he found several design companies and got results that could not satisfy the rich man, so the rich man solicited garden design drawings from the whole society. Before Yu Xingbo's resignation, the company was also ready to participate in this solicitation, the news was told to him by Yu Xingbo's former colleagues, which aroused Yu Xingbo's great attention, after all, this solicitation is like a draft, if his design stands out in many works and is adopted, it will attract strong attention in the industry, and the name of his studio will be quickly launched, which is really a shortcut to success.
Do what you want, after determining the goal, Yu Xingbo suddenly entered a crazy state of work, just like the saying goes, if you don't go crazy, you can't live. This time Yu Xingbo is willing to go crazy once, if you want to design, you must understand the local terrain, plants, buildings, roads, water bodies, climate, after all, this industry is about durability, the least post-maintenance is an option that can add points, the best design is most or even all use the local unique things but make a different exotic design.
Designing in the studio, at home, and even in dreams, Yu Xingbo can't wait to dig out all the things he has learned and all the accumulation he has accumulated to design the best works.
After the design comes out, further modifications will be made, and as long as there is still a trace of dissatisfaction or change, after half a month of madness, Yu Xingbo finally completed his most satisfactory design work after in-depth understanding of the local humanities and nature of Hong Kong Island, and it can even be said that this is the best work of Yu Xingbo since the industry, and the work was sent to the designated email address of the design solicitation, and when the send button was sent, Yu Xingbo finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The next time is to quietly wait for the response from Hong Kong Island, whether it is successful or not, this time the work and process are a test of Yu Xingbo's personal gold content after he left the company.
In order to make up for the regrets of his wife's honeymoon and take care of his wife's small emotions, Yu Xingbo became a standard good husband, behaving well every day, cooking and giving gifts and a little romance from time to time, which soon made his wife fall into the whirlpool of a happy marriage, and the two were as happy as glue, until an email half a month later broke the status quo.
It was an email from Hong Kong Island saying that Yu Xingbo's design was listed as one of the candidates, and hoped that Yu Xingbo could rush to Hong Kong Island to explain his design in person.
After receiving this email, Yu Xingbo finally felt that his half-month madness was not in vain, although it was only a candidate and not a real adoption, but this also showed that his work still had a certain value, so after receiving the email, Yu Xingbo immediately packed up his clothes and other supplies and flew to Hong Kong Island.
When Yu Xingbo stepped on the land of Hong Kong Island for the first time after walking out of the airport, Yu Xingbo's mood was neither nervous nor excited, but shocked, shocked by Shan Liang's words. Thinking back to what Shan Liang said at the wedding: the symbol of the self-supporting portal, within three months you will go south to Hong Kong Island, there are inevitable twists and turns, you have to remember that the heart is good, maybe it will help you achieve what you want, although the latter sentence is not very understandable, but the front of the self-supporting portal and the south to Hong Kong Island is indeed guessed right, and have become a reality, to say that it is false to say that it is false, but how to say the latter sentence, the heart is good, maybe this sentence is the point!
Coming to the hotel designated by the Hong Kong Island side to stay, Yu Xingbo also began to prepare for the commentary two days later, and spent a day and a half preparing satisfactory commentary content and all the unexpected situations that should exist, Yu Xingbo began to rest and recuperate, and he did not walk out of the hotel door until the day of the commentary.
Huang's Group, this group company is the family business of the Hong Kong Island tycoon, with more than 30 billion hidden assets, which is a typical hidden tycoon. Coming to a conference room on the seventeenth floor of this building as a temporary waiting room, the staff served coffee, Yu Xingbo glanced at the fifteen candidates, seven of them had come, he was not the earliest nor the latest, it could be said that it was just right. Another conference room on this floor is the commentary site and today's examination room, where the best design works will be selected today.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived, and the commentary began, one by one to the other conference room to explain, at this time, a tense atmosphere began to spread throughout the waiting room.
"If you want me to say, this explanation is completely unnecessary, it's just a process, you must know that the winning bid this time must be our company. While Yu Xingbo was waiting, there was a sudden sound of answering behind him.
"What's going on, how can you be so sure. Another voice said unconvinced.
"That's for sure, our boss's friend is friends with Huang Fuhao, and our boss has already asked a friend to deliver news to Huang Fuhao, so in the end, we must win." The voice at the beginning said in a tone of steadiness.
"If that's the case, then what are the candidates, and your company won't get it?" heard the first voice speak, and another voice joined in.
"Well, of course, Huang Fuhao wants to do a face-saving project, so as to highlight the generosity and meritocracy of others. ”
"Why don't we make a bet, if we really choose your company, then I will invite you to drink, what if we choose someone else?"
"What's wrong with me, it's the boss's business if I win, why should I invite it. ”
Yu Xingbo felt a little lacking in confidence when he heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, maybe the news that was settled was just a small ploy by this person to disturb people's hearts.
When it was almost noon, Yu Xingbo suddenly felt a burst of urgency to urinate and got up and walked to the bathroom, and when he went back to the waiting room, he found that there was no one here, and after asking the staff, he knew that it was lunch time to eat, because he couldn't understand Cantonese, so he didn't know that other people were going to the staff canteen within the group to eat, so he planned to go downstairs to eat casually.
Came downstairs to find a noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles, Yu Xingbo, who was eating noodles, felt that there was someone around him, and looked up to see that it was an old man, the old man saw him looking at himself and spoke in Cantonese, and it took a long time for Yu Xingbo to understand that the old man said that he was hungry and couldn't find his way home, and he didn't look like a beggar on the old man's body. ”
Yu Xingbo didn't speak, thought about it, walked to the shopkeeper and said for a long time, ordered a noodle end and handed it to the old man, the old man took the noodles and didn't say a word, ate it violently, and ate it in less than a moment, even the noodle soup was left, seeing this, Yu Xingbo went to the shopkeeper to exchange five hundred Hong Kong dollars, handed it to the old man, and told the old man to take the money and told the old man to take it, at this time Yu Xingbo saw that the old man's clothes were embroidered with a string of phone numbers and dialed it, the phone was connected, it was a string of Cantonese, and Yu Xingbo, who had not explained it for a long time, finally asked the shop owner for help to tell the old man about the noodle restaurant。 After hanging up the phone, he told the shopkeeper about his situation, hoping that he would keep the old man and wait for the old man's family to pick him up, and then pay the bill and return to the waiting room.
The tourist in the noodle restaurant witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but sneer: "There are still such stupid people who are willing to be deceived." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you know what this old man eats?"
Tourist: "Isn't it just clear soup noodles?"
Owner: "The clear soup noodles don't have any taste, and the soup is boiled water." ”
Tourist: "......"
After a while, the old man's family picked him up after asking what had just happened.
Yu Xingbo, who returned to the waiting room, saw that the other candidates had come back and knew that lunch was eaten in the group's internal canteen, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that not only did he pay for the lunch, but also gave a few hundred yuan.
When it was Yu Xingbo's turn, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, he got up, sorted out his clothes, came to the commentary scene, and when he saw the three judges, Yu Xingbo said: "I don't know Mandarin, is it okay?"
"Speak, we understand. One of the judges smiled and said, in standard Mandarin.
Yu Xingbo suddenly put his mind at ease and began his own explanation.
After more than half an hour, Yu Xingbo finished his words and waited for the judges' response, the three judges looked at him for a long time and did not speak, and after a while, the judges in the middle said: "Can I invite you to eat a bowl of noodles?"
