Aurora Wish

There is a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall of Gu Mingxiao's office, a simple and vigorous character of "goodness", which was newly written when the office was changed at the beginning of spring this year.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and he was revising the design draft on the easel beside him, when his assistant Lin Shan knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Li, please come over, I said that there is a difficult project, and I want to ask if you can accept your opinion. "

Gu Mingxiao put down his pen, washed his hands and went to Li He's office.

Four years ago, he and Li He jointly opened a studio. Li He was in charge of business talks, and he was in charge of design and supervision of construction.Due to the good materials used and the unique design style, it quickly became famous.The studio has also grown from the original six people to more than fifty employees now, and has become a company with both reputation and strength.

Li He was on the phone, and when he saw him coming, he signaled with his hand to wait, and handed over a folder on the table for him to look at first, and continued talking on the phone.

Gu Mingxiao pulled out the chair and sat down, flipped through a few pages and understood why Li He called him here.

This client's request is really troublesome.The designer had to see the Northern Lights with his own eyes, and he had to design the effect of the Northern Lights and the surrounding forest in the hall with a height of seven meters, but it was not required to be too fancy, and the overall style was mainly simple and European.

Ten people have ten different ideas for this kind of design with great personal preference, and it is very troublesome to practice, and it is easy to cause conflicts with customers, so this kind of decoration plan is generally not accepted casually.But at the end of the document, the decoration payment that the customer is willing to give is written.Based on Gu Mingxiao's experience, this client is either a taker who treats money like paper, or is the type who can find fault and make things difficult.

After Li He made the phone call, he looked at him and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Mingxiao closed the folder: "Did this come to you directly, or was it introduced by someone?"

Li He said helplessly: "Qi Xiaoxuan asked me to talk. You also know that we owe her a big favor, and this Mr. Tang is her good friend, so she hopes that we must do this favor."

Gu Mingxiao opened the file folder and glanced again: "How about this, I'll meet with this Mr. Tang first, and understand his thoughts and requirements before making a decision."

Li He's brows immediately relaxed, and he took out a box of ice cream and chocolates from the drawer and handed it to him: "My wife brought this back from Norway. She said it was a new limited edition this year. Take it and try it."

Gu Mingxiao loves sweets, especially chocolate.There is a large glass cabinet for chocolates at home, which are all bought when he travels or given by friends.This thing is very helpful to his inspiration, so he always keeps it in his bag.

He took it over and said with a smile, "Thank her for me."

As soon as the words were finished, the phone in the office rang again. Li He had no choice but to say hastily: "I asked Xiao Nie to transfer all Mr. Tang's information to you. You should make an appointment with him."

Gu Mingxiao made an OK gesture, opened the door and went out.

After returning to the office, he opened the folder just now and read the contents from beginning to end.

He is a design student, and his painting skills are naturally not bad. He has also helped several customers design hand-painted walls before.But they are all relatively simple single walls, and the effect of surrounding the entire hall like this has never been tried before.

He unlocked the notebook, looked through the relevant design pictures on the Internet, and looked at them for more than an hour before he knew it.Until the assistant Lin Shan knocked on the door again, and handed him a cup of coffee: "Mr. Gu, Xiao Nie brought Mr. Tang's information. I checked your schedule, and you are not free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You will be on a business trip for four days the day after tomorrow. , will have to wait until next weekend at the earliest.”

Gu Mingxiao took a sip of coffee, and his eyes once again fell on the photo of the Northern Lights on the computer screen.

It was taken when he went to Norway last year. The indescribable natural beauty really shocked his soul. After returning, he would always open this group of photos for a while to think about when he would go again next time.

He thought for a moment, and said to Lin Shan, "Give me Mr. Tang's contact information, and I'll make an appointment with him after get off work."

Lin Shan sent the message to his mobile phone.He called, and it took seven or eight rings before he was picked up, and a slightly sticky but pleasant male voice came: "Hello."

Gu Mingxiao said: "Hello, is this Mr. Tang Liyin?"

He hesitated for a moment before answering and asked who he was.

Gu Mingxiao frowned, why did he feel like he was panting?But he didn't think much about it, and continued: "I'm Gu Mingxiao, the designer of Time Decoration. Miss Qi Xiaoxuan has transferred your design needs to us. I want to ask when you are free so that we can meet and have a chat. talk?"

There was another moment of silence. Gu Mingxiao was looking at the documents in his hand when he suddenly heard a muffled moan.He froze, and finally realized what the person on the phone might be doing.

It was the first time he encountered such an embarrassing situation, thinking that he might disturb the other party, he wanted to hang up immediately.But there just paused and continued: "Okay."

It's just a short "good" word, and there is no need to say anything, obviously it is really inconvenient to speak.Gu Mingxiao hurriedly said: "Then tomorrow night? I'll make an appointment with you later."

There was a "hiss" over there, and the word "um" was returned to him in a nasal tone.Gu Mingxiao hung up the phone and glanced at the clock on the wall.It's 04:30 pm on a weekday, and this Mr. Tang actually...

Thinking of this, he opened the customer information and took a look.

Tang Liyin had just returned to China, and the age column said thirty, two years older than herself.But thinking of the indescribable voice on the phone just now, Gu Mingxiao leaned back in the chair, feeling dizzy.

Or find an excuse to drop it tomorrow.

=====

Tang Liyin put down the phone, and finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted: "Take it easy, it really can't work."

Xu Weiyi let go of his feet, pulled the disinfectant wipes aside to wipe off the ointment on the soles of his feet, and said, "You are overworked, didn't you just return to China? What can be so busy?"

Tang Liyin relieved the soreness, sat up from the treatment bed, and tied the loose hair on the back of her head again: "Don't mention it, I have changed two babysitters, Qiqi can't adapt, I am so worried."

Xu Weiyi went to the sink to wash his hands: "You asked for it yourself, it would be nice to let your parents take it with you, you can't even cook instant noodles, and you are still raising children like others."

"I think what my mother said makes sense. She is five years old, and the education in Norway is not suitable for her. It would be better to come back with me earlier." Tang Liyin put on her shoes and socks, and they wrinkled as soon as they stepped on the ground. Frowning: "You have good hands, fortunately you are a Chinese medicine doctor and not a foot massager, otherwise how many people would come to smash your signboard."

Xu Weiyi smiled and said: "Come on, you are too sensitive, you can't bear this pain."

Tang Liyin picked up the jacket on the side and put it on, and said to Xu Weiyi, "I'm going first."

Xu Weiyi sent him to the door: "Go to my place for dinner tomorrow night, and bring Qiqi here too."

Tang Liyin said yes habitually, stopped after taking two steps, and turned to look at him: "No, I made an appointment with someone on the phone just now, let's try another day."

Xu Weiyi remembered the phone call he just answered, it didn't look like it was from an acquaintance, so he asked, "Are you a friend?"

Tang Liyin recalled: "It's a designer, and I made an appointment to talk about house decoration."

After leaving Xu Weiyi's private clinic, Tang Liyin drove to the Little Daisy Child Care Center in the city center.He went up to the fourth floor and greeted Mr. Li at the duty desk. The other party asked him to wait for a while, and walked out with a little girl a few minutes later.

The little girl walked briskly, with a sweet smile on her pretty face. When she saw him, she excitedly broke away from Teacher Li's hand and ran towards him: "Daddy!"

Tang Liyin bent down and picked her up, and kissed her on the cheek: "Did you listen to the teacher?"

The little girl put her arms around his neck, gave him a smack on the face, and replied seriously: "Yes, the teacher even praised me."

Teacher Li, who came to them, handed over a painting: "Mr. Tang, Xueqi drew a sunflower today, and our art teacher thought it was very good. This child is really talented in painting."

Tang Liyin took a look at Mr. Li's movements, and it was drawn with oil brushes.Although the composition is childish, the colors are rich and bright, and the outline of the sunflower is three-dimensional, which is indeed very good.He smiled and said, "Please take care of me."

He chatted with Teacher Li for a few more words, and when he got back into the car, Tang Xueqi just put Tang Xueqi in the co-pilot's safety seat, Tang Xueqi took his hand and said with big eyes, "Daddy, what are we having for dinner?" ah?"

Tang Liyin fastened his seat belt, looked at her and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Tang Xueqi snapped her fingers and tilted her head to count: "I want to eat PIZZA, Ama's beef cake, strawberry sweet tea, and Daddy's favorite chocolate."

Seeing that she has only come back for more than a month, Tang Liyin can't help but pinch her little nose and said with a smile: "Okay, Daddy will take you to eat, and I will treat it as a reward for such a good drawing."

Tang Xueqi clapped her hands happily, like a chatterbox along the way, telling Tang Liyin what she saw and heard about the kindergarten and the day care center today.It wasn't until after dinner that Tang Liyin's ears calmed down when she returned home and handed her over to Aunt Fen, the new nanny.

He rubbed his sore waist, went back to his room, and took a hot bath in the bathroom.After coming out, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

I don't know if it's because Xu Weiyi gave him a foot massage, but he slept very well tonight, and even dreamed of the long-lost Northern Lights.

However, the person who accompanied him to watch the Northern Lights is long gone.

The next morning, Aunt Fen knocked on the door and said that breakfast was ready, and she asked him to eat it while it was hot, and she wanted to take Tang Xueqi to the kindergarten.

He lay down for a while before getting up. After washing, he went to the study with coffee and sandwiches, and turned on the computer to work.It wasn't until Aunt Fen knocked on the door again in the afternoon, saying that she was going to pick up Tang Xueqi, that he realized it was already four o'clock.

The designer who called him yesterday called at noon and made an appointment with him at six in the evening, but he didn't set a destination. The other party politely asked him if there was any restaurant he wanted to go to.

At that time, he told people to think about it and then went back, but he put down his phone and quickly forgot, and quickly sent another message, making an appointment at the Bay Restaurant in Mingzhu Harbor.

He likes the decoration style there very much, from the marble floor to the crystal lamp, the retro palace tables and chairs to the golden tableware, all of which reveal low-key elegance.There is also an invincible sea view of the entire glass wall. Dining in that environment will make people feel relaxed and suitable for conversation.

He read a few more emails, and after Gu Mingxiao replied "Yes", he changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
