1509: Bidding Day (2 More)
If Zhou Yi's brain is less water, the whole family will not be worried.
Zhou Cheng regretted giving Jiang Hong the 30,000 yuan, not because he was distressed for the money, but because he was upset by Zhou Yi's heartless appearance. What makes Zhou Yi live such a good life abroad, she should be made to suffer!
Zhou Wenbang was also very upset when he saw Zhou Yi.
The family is desperately wiping Zhou Yi's ass, does Yuan Han's ex-wife Ye Xiaoqiong care?
Seeing that Zhou Yi dared to secretly roll his eyes, Zhou Wenbang sank his face:
"What's your expression like?"
Zhou Yi was caught on the spot and panicked, "No expression!"
Zhou Wenbang took a deep breath: "Zhou Cheng runs around for your business. Even if you don't appreciate it, you should show more respect. That's how your mother and I taught you?"
"Uncle—"
Now that Zhou Yi has not given up, it is not the time to say these words, Zhou Cheng hurriedly stopped.
Zhou Yi was scolded inexplicably. Zhou Cheng deliberately asked for leave to visit her in the hospital, including appearing at her house now. Zhou Yi also knew that it was mostly for her to go to the United States, but it was not as serious as her father said, right?
How could she not be grateful to Zhou Cheng.
She just felt uncomfortable when she heard that her own mother praised Xia Xiaolan again.
Originally, I felt that going to the United States to defect to Xia Xiaolan would be a shame.
Being stared at by Zhou Wenbang, Zhou Yi did not take the pressure and said vaguely:
"I know Zhou Cheng and the others have worked hard. I'll call Xiaolan myself in two days to thank me. Dad, I'm so tired, can I go back to my own room?"
Zhou Wenbang waved his hand like chasing flies.
Zhou Cheng looked at Jiang Hong and Zhou Wenbang. Since Zhou Yi started tossing around last year, the two of them have a sense of age visibly.
Jiang Hong's changes were more obvious. Zhou Wenbang didn't look too old, but the gap between his eyebrows deepened.
"Uncle, I'm going back first, and I'll let you know when things are progressing."
Jiang Hong put down Xiao Jingba, "Zhou Cheng, you can leave after you have eaten!"
"He has to rush back to the army, don't force him to stay."
Jiang Hong gave up.
As soon as Zhou Cheng left, Jiang Hong asked Zhou Wenbang in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with Zhou Cheng? What did you two say in the study with the door closed?"
Zhou Wenbang took her to the study and closed the door.
"Xiaolan has contacted Yuan Han's ex-wife."
Jiang Hong snorted, "Really? Found someone?"
Zhou Wenbang nodded, "What they mean, invite Yuan Han's ex-wife and ask her to tell Zhou Yi. Now I think it's too good for Zhou Yi!"
It's so easy, it doesn't take much pain.
It's all because Zhou Yi almost didn't rescue her when she gave birth, so it's hard for the Zhou family to continue to be hard-hearted.
Now Zhou Wenbang thinks that Ye Xiaoqiong is so miserable, and also thinks that Zhou Yi should have a good temper.
Jiang Hong was puzzled, "You mean..."
"Let her go abroad first, and talk about it later!"
The money given by Zhou Cheng should not be used to let Zhou Yi go abroad to live happily? Zhou Wenbang has made up his mind to let Zhou Yi suffer hard after he goes abroad!
...
New York.
As Zhou Cheng said, today is the bidding day for the Wilson Hotel Washington project.
The three firms had to submit final design drawings and project plans, and worked overtime for several days in a row. Xia Xiaolan's eyes were red.
She is not afraid of performance, just afraid of not having the opportunity to perform.
Relying on the last adventure to show his modifications, Xia Xiaolan was finally allowed to participate in the Wilson Hotel project. In the last few days, he and the Hoffman team worked hard to bid for the final draft. Such a senior architect cannot be disguised in front of him.
Xia Xiaolan didn't show the aura like Ning Xue's, but Xia Xiaolan, who has lived through two generations, has experienced the baptism of the information explosion in the future, and her aesthetic level actually exceeded her own expectations.
Her designs are very commercial and tend to be practical.
From Hoffman's point of view, it looks like a proficient practitioner who has already gone through practice, rather than an intern who has not finished his undergraduate degree!
At present, Hoffman is still in a wait-and-see state. He does not know whether Xia Xiaolan really has a stable level of performance, or because of her close relationship with Harold Wilson, she has "inside information" from clients.
As partner Kissinger said, the Wilson Hotel project cannot fully prove Xia Xiaolan.
However, even Hoffman's attitude was shaken. Xia Xiaolan's ability was enough to make Matthew Carlton, who was her assistant, unwilling from the anger at the beginning, to calm down and think now.
It's not that Matthew was convinced by Xia Xiaolan in a few days, but Matthew did calm down, put aside the influence of rumors, and began to face Xia Xiaolan's strength squarely.
Xia Xiaolan is still two grades lower than him. It stands to reason that there are still some important courses that he has not taken, but Xia Xiaolan knows no less than him!
Matthew secretly waited for Xia Xiaolan to lose her ugliness, but Xia Xiaolan didn't give him this chance to gloat.
Following Hoffman to send the final draft bid, Xia Xiaolan and Matthew followed, and Matthew was half a step behind, looking at Xia Xiaolan's back, he couldn't help but mutter:
"How is the architecture major in Huaguo taught..."
After the draw in Professor McCarthy's office that day, Jonathan had apologized to Xia Xiaolan, speaking of Hua-tsing University.
Matthew is very curious about the Department of Architecture of Huaqing. He was not interested in any Huaguo University before, because of the performance of Xia Xiaolan, Matthew is thinking
Is Huaqing Architecture Department greatly underestimated?
Those crazy Chinese, maybe asking students to complete 4-5 years of professional courses within two years?
Not only Xia Xiaolan, but Ning Xue was indeed among the people who followed the p&w office.
This is also from Hua-tsing University to study abroad.
Matthew didn't see Jonathan.
It seems that only he, Xia Xiaolan, and Ning Xue were the only ones who actually participated in the project after going to the office.
Construction is not for women, Matthew used to think so.
After graduation, girls who majored in architecture turn to interior design. Those who can enter a large firm are going through qualifications like grey, and it is more difficult to get ahead compared to male architects.
It happened that Matthew had encountered such two outliers.
Only Foster, a trainee did not bring. But Foster's partner Dick obviously had a deep impression on Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue. He didn't hold onto Ning Xue and greeted Hoffman seriously:
&np It's very open-minded and bold to use interns! Did you know that now the works of interns can be put into construction. "
Dick told Xia Xiaolan not to sell the design copyright.
If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. You can use other reasons, such as the price is not ideal.
Why make such a ridiculous excuse, Dick feels insulted to his IQ!
He looked at Xia Xiaolan when he spoke, which was originally a joke.
Previously, P&W's Holm praised Xia Xiaolan. Hoffman thought it was a mockery. After working with Xia Xiaolan for a few days, he still had doubts about Xia Xiaolan's true strength, but if the intern's work cannot be put into construction - Foster's Not sarcasm gmp? Xia Xiaolan participated in the design of the Wilson Hotel project!
Fortes is too much, and the bidding has not yet come out, so he swears gmp to his face!
Dick believed that his IQ was insulted, but Hoffman felt that Dick’s ridicule was malicious. He immediately defended gmp and his design team, that is, the interests of Xia Xiaolan:
"Why can't the intern's work be put into construction? Dick, anything is possible!"
