two trees for forest

Since the two broke up that time, Lin Dongyu still lived back at his grandfather's house. Lin Jian took time to go there every week, but he never had the chance to spend time alone with his son---

Lin Dongyu did it on purpose.

After all, Lin Jian is not a family dad. He still has a lot of company affairs waiting to be dealt with, and it is impossible for him to devote [-]% of his energy to Dongyu, so the two of them have been dragging on without embarrassment.

Two months later, with the overtime efforts of Lin Jian and the designers of the company's group A, the preliminary design drawings of the shopping mall that had been verbally signed with Cheng Yihangcheng came out, and Lin Jian asked his assistant to take the design drawings over.Let's take a look at the reply over there, and wait for Mr. Cheng to spare some time in a few days to sign a written contract with Designer Lin himself.

Lin Jian agreed, but felt a little uneasy.

In the next month, on September [-]st, Lin Dongyu started to register for school.Lin Jian received a class assignment text message from the school: Class [-], Liberal Arts, Grade [-].Lin Jian sighed, for this result, he actually almost guessed it in advance, looking at it now, there is only a feeling that the dust has settled.

After dealing with the company's affairs in advance, Lin Jian guessed that Dongyu was still receiving his book at school, so he drove back to his grandfather's house.

"Grandpa."

When Lin Dezhi opened the door, he saw Lin Jian who was supposed to be in the company. He was surprised and said, "Why are you here? Isn't the company busy? Dongyu hasn't come back yet, so I guess we have to wait for a while."

Lin Jian entered the door, smiled and bent down to change his shoes, "Whether I'm here today to find Dongyu, I just want to chat with you."

Lin Dezhi stood watching his grandson change his shoes, but did not speak again.After changing, Lin Jian stood up and followed his grandfather into the living room. He first helped his grandfather to sit down, then went to the kitchen to make a pot of good tea, brought it out and put it on the coffee table in front of Lin Dezhi, and then sat down on the sofa.

Lin Dezhi held the tea and smelled it, but it was too hot, so he didn't drink it. "Do you want to talk about Dongyu's selection of liberal arts?"

Lin Jian didn't hide from his grandfather, and nodded, "Yes, I received the shift notice today, did you sign it?"

"That's right!" Lin Dezhi looked at Lin Jian with a cheerful smile, "I signed it, but I asked him before signing it. The child really likes it, and I'm not disgusting with you."

Lin Jian smiled and was not angry, "Do you believe what he said? Don't you like that you can persist in practicing painting for so many years, and you can be the first in the grade in a subject that requires a lot of interest like mathematics and physics? It’s not something a kid his age can do.”

"I don't know if other people's children can do it, but Dongyu can!" Lin Dezhi took a sip of tea and looked directly at Lin Jiandao.

Lin Jian was stabbed by his grandfather's sharp eyes.

"Don't you know your son yet? Don't compare him with a normal child of the same age. It's meaningless. He really likes painting, but we don't know about mathematics and physics. He can learn so well because he IQ is enough, and it took more than ten times more effort than others in exchange for it, why can't you think of it?"

Lin Jian stared blankly at his grandfather, but said nothing.

"It's because he wants to be admitted to the Department of Architecture of T University, he wants to be like you, he wants to follow in your footsteps. Lin Jian, you have too much influence on this kid, don't you understand now? He and I've been chasing after you for so long that I don't even know what I really want. Don't you feel that his life has been revolving around you for more than ten years? What do you want from him? Just work hard and polish yourself desperately until you are satisfied."

"He became the image of the son you wanted, but lost the real Lin Dongyu."

"Grandpa..."

Lin Dezhi raised his hand, stopped Lin Jian's next words, and continued: "So what I told you at the beginning is true, what Dongyu really likes is liberal arts, although we don't know what he wants to do after studying liberal arts. What are you doing, but it doesn't matter, at least he is happy. As for the future, we will talk about it later, the plan can't keep up with the changes, why are we so anxious?"

Lin Dezhi patted Lin Jian on the shoulder and comforted him, "Grandpa doesn't know the reason for the quarrel between your father and son, but to be honest, I'm actually very happy with what happened to you this time. If it was Dongyu before, he would definitely not I chose science without hesitation, because your role model blinded his true thoughts. Now Dongyu is just slowly becoming himself. I am very happy, he finally looks like a real child, good boy, But be good and have your own opinion."

……

That night, Lin Jian didn't know how he got home.After talking with Lin Dezhi, he left without waiting for Dong Yu to come back.

The big house in the city center was empty, and for the first time since Lin Jian adopted Dong Yu, he felt lonely.

He didn't go to the study as soon as he got home as usual, and he didn't go into his bedroom, but carefully opened Dongyu's room.

Even though Dong Yu has been staying at his great-grandfather's house for the past few months, Lin Jian has cleaned his room as usual, so the windows are still bright and clean when he comes in today, as if Dong Yu has been living there.

Lin Jian went to take a shower, went to bed without eating, and nestled into Lin Dongyu's quilt. Looking at the ceiling, he remembered many things that happened several years ago.

I remembered a very small incident when Lin Dongyu was in the third grade of elementary school——

One day, during dinner, he told Lin Jian and Lin Dezhi about a class incident. He said that a child in their class ran away from home today. The teacher said that it was the police uncle who took him home in the end.Lin Jian smiled and picked up some food for him and asked, "Why, don't you want to go to school?"

"Thank you, Dad." Lin Dongyu stuffed Lin Jian's food into his mouth contentedly, and then said politely after eating: "No, because today is Friday, and tomorrow is a holiday. He told me that he What I dislike the most is the holiday. Then I asked him why, how nice it is to be on holiday, and I can still be with my father.” Lin Dongyu looked at Lin Jian with a smile while talking, and continued: “He said it was a holiday I have to take a lot of extra-curricular classes, including writing class, English class, piano class, and dancing class, and I have to do school homework in the little time left, which is really more tiring than going to school!"

Lin Dezhi asked, "Are you tired during the holidays? You still have to learn painting from your father? You don't have time to go out and play with the children."

"No way!" Lin Dongyu looked at his great-grandpa with his big eyes puzzled, "That classmate didn't like it, but his mother forced him to learn so he was tired, but I like painting very much, I think Painting is more fun than playing hide-and-seek with children." And you can stay with Dad all the time...

Lin Jian didn't say anything, but patted his head as encouragement, "Hurry up and eat, dad will watch cartoons with you after dinner."

"Buzzing buzzing..." Suddenly, the vibrating sound of Lin Jian's cell phone next to his pillow brought him back from his memories, it was the number he used for work.Lin Jian picked up the phone: "Hi, I'm Lin Jian."

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Mr. Cheng's secretary. Maowei will call you at night. It's like this. Mr. Cheng asks if you have time at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon? Can you come to our company to discuss this contract in detail?"

"Yes, I can adjust the time here."

"Then I'll arrange it for you."

"can."

"Okay, goodbye Lin Dong."

"goodbye!"

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Lu Ziyu's time was close, so Lin Jian and Zhao Peiwen arrived at Cheng Yihang's company on time.

Lin Jian was afraid of being late, so he and Zhao Peiwen left a little early, and when they arrived at 45:[-], Cheng Yihang was still busy, so the secretary led the two of them into the meeting room, poured coffee and left.

It was almost four o'clock when Cheng Yihang and his team arrived, Lin Jian didn't say anything, and Zhao Peiwen was always a technical talent in the company, and he didn't come out to sign contracts very often. Compared with Lin Jian and Lu Ziyu, he was a bit naive Yes, everything is on the face.

"Boss Cheng is so busy, he doesn't even have time to look at his watch."

Cheng Yihang also smiled at Zhao Peiwen's shallow run, "I'm sorry, there is still a contract over there, which is a bit troublesome, and I wasted some time."

Zhao Peiwen wanted to say something else, but Lin Jian pulled him away, "It's okay, since we don't have much time, let's go straight to the topic, Mr. Cheng!"

"Happy!" Cheng Yihang sat down opposite Lin Jian, "I just like Designer Lin's non-sloppy character! Then let's talk about your plan and our requirements directly."

Lin Jian stretched out his hand, "Please."

"That's how it is, then I won't be too long-winded, skip the good parts, let's just talk about the contradiction between your design drawings and some of our requirements!"

"can."

Cheng Yihang raised his chin, glanced at the people around him, "Xiao Chen, tell me."

The person called Xiao Chen opened the plan, "First of all, Designer Lin, we think you have too many escape routes, and they occupy an important commercial location in our opinion, and there are also some walls. Look, we Someone drew it here, see if you can move it, and finally it is..."

Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Lin Jian interrupted him with a frown, "It's impossible." He turned over the circled wall again, "Several of the circled walls you circled are load-bearing walls. , can’t move! And the escape route I came according to the regulations, it’s impossible to reduce it, otherwise, if there is a fire or something, the consequences will be disastrous!” Xiao Chen glanced at Cheng Yihang, and Cheng Yihang took the words with a smile, “ The rule is that the dead are alive, let's follow the actual situation, you are really a bit difficult, I see here, here." He pointed to a few places on the picture, "You can completely leave it alone!"

As soon as Cheng Yihang finished speaking, before Lin Jian had time to say anything, Zhao Peiwen stood up angrily, "Mr. Cheng, you are playing with your life!"

Cheng Yihang wasn't angry either, he smiled and said, "I don't have this...by the way, what's your name?"

Zhao Peiwen pressed the fire, "Designer, Zhao Peiwen."

"Oh, yes, Designer Zhao, we are not as enlightened as you are. Businessmen are mercenary, don't you think so?"

"Okay, let's change it again." Lin Jian took the words, "I will look at the wall again, and try to change it according to your requirements without affecting the load bearing. As for the escape route, it really doesn't work."

Cheng Yihang smiled, "Designer Lin still understands us, that's ok, you can change it again, and we will take a look here. We are discussing it, don't you think?"

Lin Jian and their professionals talked about some details, and they didn't finish talking until it was dark.

Cheng Yihang smiled and sent the two of them out of the meeting room, and when Lin Jian got off the elevator, the smile on his face faded little by little, and Brick said to the people next to him: "Go, find the consulting company we often cooperate with, and invite bids. "

"Then here?"

Cheng Yihang waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it here."

When everyone around him went to work, Cheng Yihang smiled, "I didn't intend to let him design it."

……

On Lin Jian's side, he drove Zhao Peiwen, who was cursing and obviously still angry, home, and received a long-lost call.

It is Master.

Lin Jian parked the car on the side of the road and answered the phone.

"Master."

"Little bastard, I haven't known to call Master for so long. It's useless to teach you a white-eyed wolf."

Hearing this, Lin Jian smiled involuntarily, "I keep calling you, I'm afraid you'll be annoying!"

"What's the trouble, come on, I won't talk nonsense with you, I have something serious to tell you."

"You said, I'm listening."

"Are you busy for the next six months? Do you know about the Imperial Hotel in S City? The boss wants to invest in your city, and he wants to open a five-star hotel. If you are interested, you can contact me. Give you the information, it seems that the bidding has already started.”

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy recently, I'll go back and find out carefully, thank you Master!" Lin Jian was delighted, he could really try this, Lin Jian felt as if his blood was starting to boil, these years, Except for the scholarly high-end community, he doesn't feel like an architect, but just like a draftsman.

If this opportunity can be seized...

"Okay, I told you, seize the opportunity, you can try it, it doesn't matter whether you compete or not. But Master believes in you, come on!"

Lin Jian felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, come on, I hope Master will be proud of you in the future."

"En!" Lin Jian nodded heavily on the phone.

Neither of them expected that Wang Jie's casual recommendation would be a major turning point in Lin Jian's career.

Since then, the buried gold finally began to shine.
