In order to obtain the final design right of the Ye Group's hotel project, Chang Qin and Fu Shengyu almost canceled all entertainment projects and devoted themselves to work. In order to present the most perfect plan to Ye Shizhao, It can be said that the two of them have put in all their energy and effort, and they are afraid that if they accidentally make a mistake, they will lose everything in the end.

As a result, after a short conversation with Ye Shizhao, the two realized that they had really been worrying too much for more than a week. Fu Shengyu enjoys a high reputation in the design industry. If he didn't have two brushes, he would not be able to focus Such a huge hotel project, and almost all of them are five-star hotels. Ye Shizhao has also been involved in some real estate projects in recent years. He knows a little about the reputation of Shengyu. The name of the holy edict, until the two sides met in an elegant coffee shop, and after listening to Chang Qin's introduction, Ye Shizhao immediately reacted.

"It turned out to be the designer of Fu Da, who has admired his name for a long time." Ye Shizhao looked at Fu Shengyu with a very amiable face, completely different from the way he met Chang Qin that night.

Seeing it, Chang Qin felt mixed emotions in his heart, sighing to himself that the businessman was equipped with several faces to switch at any time, and at the same time bursting out with bitter sadness. It turned out that he had worked so hard for so long, but in the end he couldn't make up for the three of Fu Shengyu. Character.

He quickly withdrew his emotions, turned on his laptop as if nothing had happened, opened several conceptual drawings, showed them to Ye Shizhao, and explained the design ideas to him at the same time.

As the Chinese style is becoming more and more popular in the international design circle, after combining with the traditional American and European designs, the disadvantages of the pure Chinese design are eliminated, and a new design style is gradually derived, which is called the new Chinese style. , in recent years, both in terms of architectural appearance and interior furnishings, the new Chinese style has become very popular, and it is very popular with industry experts. Even Huang Kan, a well-known designer who started with pure American design, has recently tried several new Chinese styles. The effect of the model room is extraordinary, because there are no established rules and regulations, and the new Chinese style is very casual. The soft and spacious American-style couch is paired with two Chinese-style round tables, which seem to be in harmony. The world is so big. The history and culture between countries are well integrated. Everyone knows that Baroque style was all the rage in Europe in the [-]th century, but few people know that the soles of the exaggerated and gaudy royal seats are surrounded by layers of cumbersome scrolls. The back-twisted straight legs are borrowed from the bent-leg design of Ming-style furniture.

The conceptual scheme presented by Chang Qin to Ye Shizhao also cannot escape the combination of modern simple streamlines and Chinese-style cornices. The towering facade finally ends at the top of the double-eave hipped hall, which is the most ingenious interpretation of modern Chinese style. .The double-eave hipped roof is a roof style of ancient palace buildings, which symbolizes the nobility of the royal family. The dazzling lines and closely connected columns at the junction of the roof and the facade all show its supreme status.

Chang Qin knew that status and wealth were the best temptations to please someone like Ye Shizhao.

After hearing Chang Qin's proposal, Ye Shizhao's face became slightly more pleasant.

Fu Shengyu's interior design plan followed closely, and he presented his ideas to Ye Shizhao in an orderly manner. The introduction process was clear and unhurried, and his appearance was very typical of Hong Kong people. Wear cotton casual clothes, and change into a sharp high-definition suit at work. The shoulders are wide and the legs are long. The appearance and body shape are perfect. When talking with such a designer, there is no need to have any doubts. When you put your request to the other party, you can completely relax and wait for him to show a satisfactory result.

Sure enough, after two or three sentences of conversation, Fu Shengyu quickly brought Ye Shizhao into the atmosphere he created.

This was Chang Qin's first time seeing Fu Shengyu's appearance at work, which really surprised him a lot. Seeing the other party's serious and frowning appearance, he really couldn't be compared with the son of a family who went wild as soon as he entered the pub.

The negotiation went very smoothly. Ye Shizhao didn't even mention a major change, so he quickly confirmed the cooperation with the two, and only waited for the formal contract to be signed.

After the exchange of proposals, Ye Shizhao finally withdrew his statement and looked at Chang Qin approvingly, his eyes glowing with affirmation: "The person recommended by Lawyer Xi is really good."

Chang Qin was lowering his head to sort out the documents, when he heard that he suddenly looked at Ye Shizhao, his dark eyes widened: "Boss Ye, what did you say?"

Ye Shizhao leaned back on the back of the sofa and said solemnly: "Actually, before you came here rashly and recommended yourself to me, Lawyer Xi said a lot of good things for you, but at that time I only wanted Allen gave me the design, I believe that my old friend who I have known for many years is unwilling to try others easily, so I did not adopt his suggestion, now it seems," he said halfway, and looked at Chang Qin meaningfully, There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Lawyer Xi's vision is not wrong."

Chang Qin blushed for a second. He knew that Ye Shizhao's vision was limited to his own ability to work, but he couldn't help but go astray. He thought very narcissistically that the other party's vision was also not bad when it came to picking a partner. .

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled bitterly, but with a humble face: "Thank you Mr. Ye for your compliment, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Saying goodbye to Ye Shizhao, the two walked out of the coffee shop side by side. Fu Shengyu sighed and shook his head again and again, his tone full of envy: "You two can't hide your affection anywhere."

Chang Qin punched him in the chest, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Envy? Envy, find one yourself."

Fu Shengyu waved his hand and said desolately, "I'm not as lucky as you."

"What?" Chang Qin was keenly aware of the sadness in the other party's tone, "You were rejected?"

"He said he wasn't." Fu Shengyu could no longer hold the smile on his face, and the joy of successfully winning the project was gone.

Chang Qin smiled, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, put his hands on the other's shoulders and kneaded gently: "I said it a long time ago, the world is so big, how could it be such a coincidence that you just met the person you have been looking for."

Unexpectedly, Fu Shengyu shook his head slightly, and there was no sign of compromise in his flowing eyes.

"I firmly believe that the person is him, it must be him." He said softly.

Chang Qin opened his mouth, and wanted to say that if that person was Vincent, why would he lie to you? Since he said no, it could only be Fu Shengyu's own sentimentality. After much deliberation, he felt that such words were too hurtful. People, so as soon as a few words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again. These negative speculations are not only of no help to the oracle, but will touch his emotions. It is better to let him think about it. Better than utter despair.

After the initial concept plan was passed, they were greeted with endless meetings. The time given by Ye Shizhao was very demanding. It was almost impossible for the tall building that survived Chang Qin's imagination to rise in just a few months Therefore, after the official contract was signed, the engineering team of the "Chenxi" company entered the construction site non-stop.

Every time we sit around the long conference table to discuss plans, Xi Ling will definitely be there. The two of them have many opportunities to meet, but they never exchanged a word. Ye Shizhao suddenly mentioned Xi Ling that day, and frankly, he recommended him to him. Chang Qin, Chang Qin was really happy when he heard that for a while, his pride and satisfaction inflated his vanity infinitely, but when he saw Xi Ling, he withdrew his emotions completely, his face was as cold as a sculpture, He couldn't bear to show even the slightest expression.

Xi Ling was not surprised at all, except for the unavoidable greeting, he hardly ever glanced at Chang Qin the rest of the time.

However, another reason why Xi Ling ignored this neglect was that Zhang Mingyuan, who couldn't escape, because of the same job, Deputy Director Zhang also appeared in meetings from time to time. The raging flames were purely because the other party indirectly killed his father. Now, because Chang Qin was involved, the chaotic entanglement between the two of them was probably related to Zhang Mingyuan. Seeing him, Xi Ling became more and more angry. Irritated, I wish I could take a sharp knife in my pocket and slap the man's slender neck hard, simple and straightforward, invisible to the eye.

However, the more Xi Ling's disdainful emotions are exposed, the more proud Zhang Mingyuan's smile is, just like the owner teasing a cat, watching the pet cat in his hand blow up its fur, the owner becomes more excited, that kind of excitement is on the verge of abnormality , All the eyebrows and eyes are flaunting that you can't beat me, so don't be contemptuous of being overwhelmed.

After the start of the project, the city that hadn’t rained for a long time was sparsely rained for a week, and the sky was covered by dark clouds all day long. The clothes hanging on the balcony couldn’t be dried at all, Xi Ling sighed After taking a deep breath, a dense rain began to fall in my heart.

It happened to be the weekend, and the rain that had been raining for a whole week had no intention of stopping, on the contrary, it was getting bigger and bigger, and the raindrops that were not clear at first gradually turned into raindrops that could make a ticking sound when they hit the concrete slab.

Xi Ling was resting at home. He had just taken back the clothes he had put out to dry a few days ago. After touching the sleeves, they were still wet, so he had to hang them up again. He looked up at the cloudy sky, knowing that Chang Qin must still be Busy on the construction site, in order to complete the construction period within the agreed time, he took almost all the rest days.

Go see him.Xi Ling said to herself.

Once this thought came to my mind, even my fingers couldn't help trembling slightly.

Without too much hesitation, he found a set of simple casual clothes from the closet and changed into them, picked up the car keys and went out.

"I just stand at the door and take a look, just take a look." He turned the steering wheel with one hand and said to himself, "If he bumps into me, I will say that I need to come to the construction site to take a look because of business."

Just like this, Xi Ling drove the car outside the gate of the construction site. Before all the splendid buildings rose from the ground, the construction site was in a horrible state. The yellowish soil on the ground was watered by the rain, and it became more and more muddy. It was so unbearable that people couldn't help frowning when they saw it.

Inside the densely packed iron gates, the sound of electric welding, the sound of steel plates hitting, and the rattling of excavators came and went. Although it was under heavy rain, the enthusiasm of the workers for their work remained undiminished. They went through the work in full swing. It was very lively.

Xi Ling held up an umbrella and stepped on the filthy yellow mud with deep feet and shallow feet. The accumulated rainwater splashed patches of khaki mud on the legs of his trousers. His face was almost completely hidden behind the rainproof cloth, because the umbrella was too low, he couldn't see what was in front of him, so he could only lower his head and pay attention to the road, looking for the figure he was thinking of by identifying the shoes on everyone's feet.

This is not difficult for Xi Ling. Sometimes, when you pay too much attention to a person and are embarrassed to look directly at the other person's face, your attention will often be concentrated on his lower body | In the crowd, one can easily recognize that person's unique legs, pay special attention to his walking posture, and even just need to look at the direction of his toes to know what he wants to do next.

Xi Ling found the familiar pair of brown leather shoes among the pairs of mud-stained shoes, and then stopped, hiding behind a hidden dilapidated house, and then raised the umbrella that had been blocking the view, revealing a beautiful face. He looked at the person who was close at hand without blinking, and as he looked at him, there was a faint warmth in his eyes unconsciously.

Chang Qin was wearing a white hard hat and a light blue long-sleeved shirt, the sleeves were buttoned up at the wrists meticulously, and the hem was tucked into the belt of his trousers, showing his strong and strong waist. Looking at the thick drawings, a few pages of A3 paper were opened, and they fell straight down beside his legs. The foreman next to him was chattering about the construction issues. The two of them were standing under the floor slab sheltering from the rain. Because they were very close to the edge of the slab, the heavy rain was blown into the corridor by the raging wind, pouring dark spots on their backs. water stains.Chang Qin turned his back to Xi Ling, and his soaked shirt was tightly attached to his straight back, clearly reflecting the clear lines behind him, and with the movement of Xi Ling's raising of his hand, dark and light patterns appeared alternately on the shirt. The shallow dents are the strong muscle lines left by his long-term fitness. Xi Ling's eyes followed the lines of different shades over and over again, imagining that the scorching eyes turned into a hand, slowly stroking The hooked back of the opponent.

Chang Qin gestured while talking, and in the middle of speaking, he grabbed the foreman without warning, and the two turned around at the same time, and walked into the heavy rain that was flying all over the sky together.

Seeing this, Xi Ling stepped back hurriedly and panickedly, hiding himself deeper behind the dilapidated house.

The person in front of him was totally devoted to his work, completely unaware that there was a person hiding not far away, peeping at him almost obsessively, and saw Chang Qin and the foreman walking a few steps in the open space, Turning back again, he raised a hand to block the raindrops that slapped on his face, and looked up at the gray mud brick building that had been pulled up ten stories high.

Xi Ling swallowed uncomfortably, wishing he could rush forward in two or three steps, and put the umbrella in his hand on Chang Qin's head.

His hand without an umbrella was hanging down on the side of his trouser leg. His five fingers clenched and loosened, and then clenched again. His nails dug into the palm of his hand. Unknowingly, he pinched out a few obvious red spots. mark.

After a long time, he slowly looked away, wiped the rainwater off his face with the back of his hand, turned and left the construction site.

He drove around the construction site, and finally found a pharmacy, went in and bought several different cold medicines, and then he drove back to the construction site, and put the bag full of medicine boxes, large and small Put it in the security room, and the uncle security guard who entrusted the gatekeeper will hand the bag of things to Director Chang when he comes out of it after finishing work.

Uncle Security was kind-hearted, accepted the bag Xi Ling handed over to him, and repeatedly promised that he would hand it over to Director Chang himself.

Sure enough, after Xi Ling drove away, a full two hours had passed, and Chang Qin, who had been chilled by the rain, just finished his work. Before he reached the big iron gate, he was already waiting in the security room His uncle rushed forward and solemnly handed over the big bag of bottles and cans to Chang Qin.

"What is this?" Chang Qin took the bag, raised his hand to wipe his rain-stained face, and looked at the uncle in bewilderment.

"A friend who claimed to be yours asked me to give it to you." It was raining heavily, and the raindrops hit the stainless steel canopy, making a crackling noise like setting off firecrackers. The security guard was afraid that Chang Qin would not be able to hear Clear, the voice raised several decibels.

"Where are the others?" Hearing the security guard's loud voice, Chang Qin couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I have something to say, so I left in a hurry." The security uncle said with a smile. At the same time, he lowered his head and glanced at the bag in Chang Qin's hand. Some cold medicine, the weather is bad, it has been raining for the past two days, Director Chang has worked hard, drink more hot water at home, soak some cold granules in advance, anyway, the most important thing is to take care of your body." After finishing speaking, Haha laughed twice, and patted Chang Qin's wet arm heavily with his rough palm.

Chang Qin nodded and thanked the uncle, carrying the bag in one hand, and ran to his car in two or three steps. He sat in the driver's seat, took out a few tissues from the glove box, roughly dried the rain on his face, and before starting the car, He turned his head and looked at the white bag on the passenger seat. The bag was poured by the rain, and large and small drops of water accumulated on the surface, and a layer of dark water soon soaked out of the cotton-padded seat. mark.

Chang Qin sighed deeply, turned his head and looked ahead, started the car and left.

After several days of overcast clouds, the sky finally cleared up. The bright sunshine broke through the clouds and radiated on the vast land, which made people feel a sense of intimacy that had not been seen for a long time.

On the first sunny day, the sun shines for eight hours, but it is not enough to absorb the potholes and water stains on the ground. On a certain empty basketball court, the ground is not dry, and the wet concrete surface can even reflect the blue sky and white clouds above. The geographical location is extremely high, and people have to climb over a rocky slope to get here. Therefore, this excellent site is deserted all year round. Day after day, the white line used to divide the ground is blown by the wind. The wear became shallower and shallower in the rain, and it was so shallow that it was almost invisible. The ball rack with the basket hanging on both sides was also covered with a layer of mottled rust, stretching all the way to the top with its teeth and claws, looking like two ferocious beasts. Stern protest against being innocently rejected.

As the sun set, a layer of brilliant golden light sprinkled on the concrete floor, and a thin figure was suddenly reflected on the quiet ground that almost made ghosts crawl out. The man was wearing an orange basketball uniform, with his forehead and wrists covered respectively. A sweat-absorbing belt of the same color, his bony figure is looming in the large vest, and his naked|exposed pale complexion is almost transparent under the sunlight. The ball was dribbled under the rusty basket, and the toes were pushed to the ground, and the whole person jumped up in the air. He held the ball with his left hand, and turned his right wrist downwards. The ball raised an arc in the air, impartial The ground fell into the basket, and the shooting posture was perfect.

The man dribbled the ball a few meters away over and over again as if he was tireless, and slapped it back to the basket, jumped up and shot, and practiced back and forth for nearly an hour before he stopped and used the sweat on his wrist to absorb the ball. Dai wiped the sweat off his face, walked to the stone chair under the shade of the tree, sat down on it, panting heavily, and opened his sweaty legs to both sides. He bent down and held the ball Put it between your legs, and slap it on the ground one by one.

Xi Ling focused on the basketball between his legs, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a person slowly approaching him not far away, until the person approached the bench, and Xin Chang's figure cast a long hurricane in the setting sun. Shadow, Xi Ling raised his head just now, and stared at the person who was walking towards him in a daze.

"Chang Qin, why are you here?" He opened his mouth and murmured in surprise.

"Come to see you." Chang Qin replied concisely, and sat down next to Xi Ling. He also spread his legs carelessly, arched his back slightly, propped his elbows on his knees, and his arms were hanging down weakly. In front of him, there was no expression on his watery face.

Xi Ling turned his face away, still looking at the other party in confusion, only to see that the side profile inlaid with a circle of gold is like a god and Buddha at this time, and the stern face does not show any emotion. "How do you know I'm here?" he asked.

Chang Qin turned his head, stared at the other party sharply, and asked without answering: "Today is your father's death day, why didn't you go to see your father with Xi Fu and the others?"

As if being stabbed in his heart, Xi Ling blushed, turned around as if evading, and muttered in a low voice: "I have no face to see my father. I dare not go every year on the anniversary of my death. Don't force me any more."

"So you came here?" Chang Qin looked around and asked.

This field is what Xi Ling once mentioned to him. In order not to be looked down upon by his father when he was a child, he would sneak here after school to practice alone.

Xi Ling nodded, looked at Chang Qin again, and asked word by word: "You came to see me on purpose, what's the matter?"

Chang Qin met his eyes, his face was still stern and intimidating. Xi Ling remembered that when he reunited with him just now, no matter what happened to Chang Qin, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his temper was docile. People thought he had no bottom line, but ever since the two of them got into an awkward relationship and their relationship was getting worse day by day, Chang Qin's easy-going look was no longer seen on his face. It is no longer the same as before, showing a soft smile anytime, anywhere.

The man who was as cold as a Buddha looked at him coldly, but an invisible bloody wind was blowing in his bottomless pupils. At the same time, a strong wind blew from the sky, blowing the leaves above his head There was a rustling sound, and a few tender green leaves swirled in the air and fell to the ground. After the short wind passed, Chang Qin moved his lips, his voice was as cold as coming from hell, and he said expressionlessly: "Lawyer Xi , give up."
