The International Golden Stone Competition is the top architectural design competition in the world and the most valuable award in the construction industry. There are 10 third prizes, 5 second prizes and 2 first prizes in the competition.It is held every three years and is divided into preliminary competition and semi-final competition. The world's top architects send tens of thousands of architectural design works to the preliminary competition each time, and only a few dozen works are selected for the semi-final competition.

The registration fee for the competition is very high, which is about equal to the entire profit of Qin Huan's company after completing two major projects. Most companies may only do two or three projects a year. It puts an end to those designers who "just try it out".

Qin Huan's registration fee was paid by Gu Huai. After all, Qin Huan participated in the competition under the name of Baihu Group, so Gu Huai should pay this small amount of money.

Before the preliminary competition, the works need to be uploaded to the encrypted mailbox. This encryption technology is the most advanced technology in the world. In the statement, the jury guaranteed that the details of the design would not be leaked to ensure the safety of the contestants’ works.

The mail system requires filling in the designer's name and company, because Qin Huan is going to participate in the competition in the name of the Baihu Group, so the designer's name is left blank, and only writes the Baihu Group in the company column to completely hide from the whole process.

Baitao ate the special local dessert that Qin Huan specially ordered from the hotel, and found it very delicious. She was about to sit on Qin Huan's lap to feed her, when she was concentrating on filling out a form that was all in English.

The people's teacher felt that he was very sensible: "You are busy, I will come back later."

Qin Huan: "Come here."

In the end, he still sat on her lap, with a blushing face, and quietly fed her with his lips and tongue.

"Aren't you busy with work?" Baitao asked.

Qin Huan murmured: "Just fill out a registration form."

After checking that the form was filled out correctly, she was ready to click OK. Baitao glanced at it and reminded, "You leave the contestant's name blank."

Qin Huan: "Yes."

Gu Baitao glanced at the familiar English name of the company, and saw Qin Huan click submit.

"When did you become a member of my brother's company?"

After checking that the submission was correct, Qin Huan closed the mailbox interface, put the mouse aside, and said to Baitao, "I'm hungry."

Gu Baitao frowned: "The work is so confidential, you can't tell me, what are you doing with my brother?"

Qin Huan snorted in disgust: "What nonsense are the people's teachers talking about?"

"Then you secretly write the name of my brother's company!"

Qin Huan said casually, "Because I'm participating for the White Tiger Group."

Gu Baitao blinked: "Did my brother give you money?"

Qin Huan tasted the meaning of this sentence, and said: "He will pay the entry fee and the expenses for board and lodging these days."

Gu Baitao immediately understood that his brother must have stripped Qin Huan's "skin", and immediately said, "How is this possible?"

Qin Huanxiao: "There's nothing wrong with it. As a brother-in-law, it's just to fight for the face of my brother's company. Anyway, I drew the work, and the prize depends on your brother's luck, not mine. I have a little pressure Not at all, and it’s great to be able to travel abroad with my girlfriend at public expense.”

Gu Baitao patted her face with both hands, carefully looking into her eyes.

There was no unhappiness in Qin Huan's eyes, she was serious.

Gu Baitao sniffed: "But it's your work, just like your child, you must be very sad to be named by someone else."

Qin Huan and her looked at each other for a while, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you, my little cutie, for understanding me. In fact, I don't feel sad at all. At most, there is a little inexplicable melancholy. The designer is a semi-artist, very hypocritical, you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Baitao touched her face: "Did my brother blackmail you about the two of us?"

Qin Huan shook his head: "No, I voluntarily."

"You are deceiving people. You voluntarily take out your work to others to play cards. Either you are short of money, or you are giving gifts for speculation, unless you take the initiative to give the design to my brother in exchange for him agreeing with you and me. Together. But I don't think you are such a person. No matter how you think about it, I think Gu Huai should force you."

Qin Huan laughed out loud.

Gu Baitao was angry with his brother, and also dissatisfied with her: "What are you laughing at?"

"I just think, I'm really good. I found a girlfriend who understands me so well."

Gu Baitao was speechless for a while: "Why didn't I realize you were so narcissistic before."

"Look, you don't seem to have ever doubted me except for being jealous once in a while. No matter who stirs up trouble, you won't believe it. How can you be such a good peach?"

Gu Baitao: "I was originally a very good peach. Who is jealous? You talk nonsense. It is obvious that you are always jealous of Qi Xiaoran, and this and that blind date. I am not jealous."

Qin Huan later said: "I don't feel sad at all now. You don't have to be angry with your brother, he has long accepted me to be with you, even when you avoided me and refused to see me."

Gu Baitao opened his eyes wide: "How is it possible?"

"Your brother is very smart, he can employ people, and he can also judge people. There are still many things you don't know."

***

They stayed in the hotel for two days, Qin Huan was busy with the trivial matters of the competition, Baitao had nothing to do, so he volunteered to see Qi Xiaoran.

Qin Huan: "Go."

Then he added: "Don't stay too long."

On the day of check-in, Qi Xiaoran told Qin Huan the room number.Baitao strolled to the door of that room, and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

Baitao was full of doubts, and went back to the room to tell Qin Huan about it.

Qin Huan thought for a while, and called Huang Qiong. After ringing for a long time, he thought that no one would answer, but he did.

Huang Qiong: "Huh?"

Qin Huan and Baitao looked at each other: "Boss Huang, are you in the room?"

Huang Qiong: "Hmm..." The voice was a little softer than her usual charming, Qin Huan's heart was about to come out with a certain answer, and when his stomach was full, he didn't know whether to vomit or not, Huang Qiong said:

"Bye."

Qin Huan: "..."

Baitao: "How is it?"

Qin Huan shook his head: "It's hard to explain, you'd better not go to them."

Having said that, in fact, Baitao didn't know what to do, and she should play everywhere when going abroad, but Qin Huan was busy with the competition and didn't have time to accompany her. I can coax her to rest at home for a few days, and when she finishes her registration, she will be free to play around with Baitao.And coaxing her to spend Gu Huai's money anyway, Baitao immediately felt relieved and enjoyed the various services of the hotel with peace of mind.

It just so happened that I ran for a while in the gym that day, and my phone rang suddenly. It was the principal of Hongxing Primary School.

Baitao thought nervously about the fact that the group hadn't been notified about returning to school temporarily, and answered the phone with a puzzled face.

"Hi principal."

"Hey, hello Mr. Gu, I heard that you went abroad for vacation?"

"Ah, yes, I have reported to our personnel."

"It's okay, it's fun, the school is fine, but there is something to tell you in advance, our school xx will retire next month, and there will be a vacant position for the post of deputy high school. I think you just meet the requirements for applying for the exam. You Prepare well, after passing the examination at the end of September, I will hire you to be a deputy high school in October, I wonder if you are willing?"

Gu Baitao was stunned. There are many teachers in the school who have passed the qualification certificate of the deputy high school, but it is hard to find a job. There are many people staring at the position of this old teacher who is about to retire. Suddenly, the principal called and opened the back door. The mind is very straightforward.

"Principal, is this okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. The school has always hired those who are capable, and those who want to survive the years can go to the management post."

Gu Baitao thought for a while and said, "Let's forget it."

She is just a little salty fish who wants to teach well, but she doesn't want to be famous, and she doesn't miss that salary. There is no advantage in being the target of public criticism.

The principal laughed a few times: "Then is Mr. Gu interested in the management post? The school has changed positions and vacated a sub-department..."

"Principal, I don't have any ideas about promotion, just teach."

The principal sighed: "I didn't mean to say that, it's like this, Mr. Gu, No. [-] Middle School heard that you are a master's degree graduated from a normal university, and their principal came to me to find out, and wanted to transfer you to be a high school teacher."

It's hard to say which one is more tiring, high school teachers or elementary school teachers, but high school teachers must have higher income and social status than elementary school teachers, especially No. [-] Middle School, a key high school in the city.In a city like H City, Gu Baitao's academic qualifications are more than enough to get into the city's key high schools, and he is indeed a bit inferior in Hongxing Primary School.She originally went to No. [-] Middle School, but No. [-] Middle School hadn't recruited people for many years. She didn't expect the opportunity to come now.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Baitao joked: "It turns out that the principal wanted to use sugar-coated bullets to keep me."

The principal smiled and said: "Mr. Gu is a talent, no one is willing to let go, but if Mr. Gu's ambition is not here, I will definitely not stop you. After you return to China, I will treat you. Let's have a good meal and chat, even We won’t be colleagues together in the future, but we can still be friends.”

Of course Gu Baitao knew that without Gu Huai, it would be impossible for the principal to be friends with her.

Back in the room, I told Qin Huan about the episode, Qin Huan nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Baitao was very sensible: "Go ahead, we'll talk later."

"Peach." Qin Huan called to stop her: "Have you ever thought about leaving City H and living in other cities, for example, Beijing?"

In Beijing, there will be a larger employment platform, a younger population, a more inclusive social circle, more convenient and quick material conditions, and better educational and medical resources.Of course, all walks of life are very involved, but Gu Baitao doesn't need to work too hard, and naturally he won't be involved.

She works hard to get another Ph. D. She can go directly to the university to teach, not so tiring, and her salary will increase several times or even dozens of times. The whole life experience is probably the same as before in H city. Rumor has it that the circumstances of social death across the city are vastly different.

"The house under my name in Beijing is 120 square meters. I always feel that it is empty to live by myself. I just need a hostess. If you are interested, would you like to come over and try?"
