074: You Haven't Paid Attention to the Construction Circle for Too Long! (2 More)
Xia Xiaolan was not kidding.
Grandma Bai's illness is not an exaggeration.
It was such a coincidence that she and Jiang Yan were still thinking about how to stimulate Pan Baohua. The news from Yangcheng was that Grandma Bai Zhenzhu had a sudden illness.
Xia Xiaolan thought that this was one of the means to force marriage, but what if it wasn't?
Bai Zhenzhu didn't dare to take Grandma Bai's health as a bet, and went back to Yangcheng as soon as she received the news. So far, there was no news. Xia Xiaolan thought that she would also go back to Yangcheng to have a look.
After all, she and Bai Zhenzhu were partners and friends, and Bai Zhenzhu was the only elder left, so Xia Xiaolan would be fine if she went back.
If it is really a sudden illness, White Pearl needs the support of friends, even if it is spiritual comfort!
If it wasn't... that was her contribution to matching White Pearl and Pan Baohua.
It just so happens that Qiongdao is still adjusting. There are already people responding to the national call to build provincial special economic zones from all over the country. Qiongdao Province also needs an adaptation period. Various detailed policies are being formulated. Xia Xiaolan can temporarily leave next.
There is also news that the second aia supernova architect selection in 1988 has started again!
Xia Xiaolan was undoubtedly shortlisted for the selection.
This has been a tacit understanding between her and aia.
As for whether or not she can win the Supernova Award, it depends on whether Xia Xiaolan has a stronger opponent in this session... aia wants to make up for her, and two top journals also started to build momentum for Xia Xiaolan last year, but if there is really There is a newcomer architect who is more powerful than Xia Xiaolan. If Xia Xiaolan is beaten up too much, aia will not be able to award the award to Xia Xiaolan in doubt!
The so-called tacit understanding, in the final analysis, depends on Xia Xiaolan's strength.
Aia's real preferential treatment to Xia Xiaolan is probably limited to ignoring Xia Xiaolan's identity as a Chinese female architect, and treating her works more fairly and justly.
The word "fairness" is easy to say, but Xia Xiaolan has paid a lot for this fairness!
This time, Xia Xiaolan will not use the name of gmp firm to declare, but use Qihang firm.
This is the case with an architect firm. It has to be bundled with a well-known architect to develop. As the architect grows, the firm grows as well.
Xia Xiaolan went back to visit Grandma Bai, the original intention was that, who knew that she had just received another news when she arrived at the Yangcheng boundary.
In one phone call, Pengcheng was defeated from the United States and transferred to Xia Xiaolan.
"Have you not been paying attention to the construction circle for too long recently?"
Kissinger's voice had a hint of hatred for not turning iron into steel.
Xia Xiaolan felt a little guilty: "I'm a little busy at work..."
It didn't take long, that is, I picked up money during the HK stock market crash, got married by the way, and then found a sister for Uncle Tang, and then Qiongdao... Well, she did not pay attention for more than half a year. As for the construction circle, it is already a very responsible performance to be able to devote some attention to supervising the construction of the museum in Shangdu.
Xia Xiaolan cleared her throat:
"Around July, the museum is due to be completed, and it took a whole year to build—"
"No, I'm not talking about this! Whether it's completed or not doesn't affect your ability to compete for any awards. Sometimes some large-scale projects are built for several years. Don't the architects do other things during this period? You designed it, It's your work, I'm talking about that bastard Mund Dawson, you remember that bastard?"
Nonsense, she doesn't have Alzheimer's, and of course she can't forget Mond.
"What happened to him? Mr. Kissinger, is Mond causing you trouble again? I think he should keep a low profile for a year or two after his last setback."
Kissinger chuckled: "Then you naturally remember Heidi Dawson, your former classmate at Cornell University. Heidi Dawson was also shortlisted for this year's aia supernova selection. What do you think is the reason?"
Heidi? !
It wasn't that Xia Xiaolan looked down on the other party, Heidi's level was still a little far from Aia's standard.
But what Xia Xiaolan knew was Heidi before she left Cornell University. It's been almost two years since then. Maybe Heidi has been connected to the second line of Ren and Du... Cough, it doesn't seem like it should be like this now. Singh will go berserk.
She understood what Kissinger meant.
Mond wants to push his daughter out to fight her in the ring.
"Mr. Kissinger, have you seen Heidi's work? What level?"
Regarding Xia Xiaolan's question, Kissinger suggested that she read the latest issue of the "domus" journal.
This is easy to handle. After hanging up Kissinger's phone, Xia Xiaolan asked someone to send a copy of "domus".
As soon as "domus" was published in April 1988, Xia Xiaolan knew why Kissinger was angry. On the cover is a photo together, Mond and Heidi.
Also titled: "Dream Continues: The Pritzker Architecture Prize Winner's Daughter"
This is not concealed.
That's right, anyway, the relationship between Heidi and Mond will be revealed sooner or later, so it's better to say it generously.
Xia Xiaolan flipped through the report again and couldn't help squinting her eyes.
Is this Heidi's level?
It was Mund Dawson himself who came off the court!
Xia Xiaolan closed the magazine and stuffed it in her bag, and went upstairs to find the ward according to the address given by Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Pearl was not short of money, so she got a single room for Grandma Bai.
Xia Xiaolan was originally a thorn
Incited to Pan Baohua, I didn't expect that there was a young man in the ward.
He looks alright, looks more gentle, can even hold up wide suit pants, and is naturally not short.
In this way, it is in line with the blind date that Bai Zhenzhu said her sister-in-law introduced!
Xia Xiaolan remembered that she was a college student who was assigned to work in an agency the year before?
Grandma Bai was lying on the hospital bed, and this young man was sitting beside the hospital bed, lowering his head to talk to Grandma Bai from time to time, looking very patient. Grandma Bai looked at the young man. Although she was in a bad mood, her eyes revealed joy, and she obviously liked this man very much.
Seriously, even Xia Xiaolan can't fault the first impression of this young man. Chang Ying, the white pearl's sister-in-law, really didn't just find someone to fool the little sister-in-law, this young man is very good-looking!
On the contrary, it was White Pearl, sitting by the window far from the hospital bed, looking at the blind date who was intimate with her grandmother, her frowning brows could kill flies!
In just a few seconds, Xia Xiaolan had already judged the current situation: Grandma Bai didn't seem to be sick, her head was wrapped in gauze, and most likely she was injured. However, Bai Zhenzhu was really caught back to continue the blind date business.
"Xiaolan, you are here!"
White Pearl felt that Xia Xiaolan was here to rescue her.
Xia Xiaolan put down some of the nutritional products she bought. Grandma Bai was about to sit up, but she was also stopped:
"Grandma Bai, I came to see you, not to make you tired. You should rest well."
The young man looked up and saw Xia Xiaolan, his eyes were full of surprise.
It's not his fault, a man with a normal sexual orientation, seeing Xia Xiaolan's reaction for the first time.
It took him a while to realize that he was in the ward, and in front of his blind date, he behaved...
"Hello, hello, I'm Gao Huabin, a friend of Pearl."
Gao Huabin tried his best to be calm and generous.
This name is also interesting. It is called "Pearl". It seems that the white pearl is resisting, but this Gao Huabin is very satisfied?
"Hello, I'm also a friend of Pearl. My name is Xia Xiaolan."
