exactly

Xiao Lu, this is a rare woman who has troubled Chang Qin.

It all started when he just took over the renovation project of the old factory. At that time, Chang Qin had just been promoted to the lead project designer not long ago. He said that he had to look at the face of the construction team from time to time. At that time, none of the designers in the company were willing to take on the renovation project of the old factory, because the structure of the building itself had been fixed, so there was really no room for designers to play. Allocating land to the old factory for "beauty and beauty" was thankless. At that time, Chang Qin was just a little-known small design. Anyone who came would not refuse to talk about it. He was not qualified to promote the project at all. Since Chang Qin had also participated in After interior design, the company dropped the project on him.

When the task was completed, Chang Qin did not dare to slack off, and immediately engaged in the design, and the process of transforming the old factory building was like an archaeological excavation of the site. He did not deliberately obliterate the traces of differences. The new and the old occupy the same important right to speak, and pay attention to the dialogue between the old and the new. The balance and maintenance of the medium-tension system alienates the spatial arrangement on the basis of the original building, forming a new understanding of the possibility of space.In the use of materials, Chang Qin maintained the minimalist style he is good at, using the original latex white paint of the old factory building as the main color, and repainted a new layer of paint on it, and chose the most popular pan tamo for the floor, the old factory building Abandoned pieces of iron were repainted and pasted on the wall of the front desk, making people feel a strong industrial style as soon as they enter the door. The staff dining area uses a large area of ​​retro wall tiles, but the ground chooses warm The yellow tone and the strong contrast between warm and cold colors create a strong visual impact. The roof still uses the eaves-style sloping roof of the original factory building, with wooden strips interspersed with oblique hanging and horizontal strips to share the force, but the wooden strips are moderately reduced. Chang Qin cleverly built a glass slanted roof between the boundary wall and the inner wall, and used dark wooden sticks to support it, which can prevent rainwater and Without affecting the inclination of the sunlight, wandering on the small road spliced ​​with crushed stones and slates, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery above your head.

Excellent hard decoration design naturally requires an excellent soft decoration collaborator. After Chang Qin's plan was confirmed, he was worried that he could not find a soft decoration designer. At that time, several soft decoration companies came to invite bids, but due to Almost no one was interested, and the companies that came to bid were both good and bad. Chang Qin didn't dare to choose randomly. At this time, Xiao Yu recommended someone to him: Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu is Xiao Yu's relative and uncle Xiao Yu's daughter. They are cousins. Xiao Lu has inherited the genes of the Xiao family's outstanding looks and can speak well. At first glance, people will think they are pretty and cute. Get in touch with them a few times. Later, I discovered that this woman had amazing abilities. She majored in interior design at university. After graduation, she worked for a Fortune [-] company for several years. Soft furnishing items.

Palm-sized oval face, white and tender skin, big eyes with aura, small cherry mouth, tall and thin, Chang Qin's first impression when he first saw Xiao Lu was that she has all the characteristics of a beauty up.Chang Qin has come into contact with many beauties since he was engaged in this business, but there are very few who make him fall in love at first sight like Xiao Lu.And what Chang Qin never forgets most is not only Xiao Lu's appearance, but also her working ability. Soft decoration is a very abstract concept. If it is well matched, it can make the whole space sublime in an instant. The initial investment is basically in vain, and the success or failure is only in the designer's thoughts, especially the details, which can best reflect the essence of a plan.

After Xiao Lu took over the case, in just a few days, on the basis of Chang Qin's transformation of decay into magic, she turned the magic into a miracle. In Chang Qin's obvious wild style, she deployed the unique delicacy of women, and the two were perfectly combined. , so that the whole space is publicized but not too open, serious and casual.

At that time, Chang Qin looked at the drawings all day long, and his eyebrows were about to fall off in pain. Xiao Lu asked him what was going on when he saw it. , her head was almost sharpened, and she didn't think of a good way to accommodate a reception area. Xiao Lu took the drawing and thought about it for a while, and finally took the pen in Chang Qin's hand and drew a big picture somewhere. Circle, pointing to say that it is suitable here.

Chang Qin looked down, frowned and said, "This is the steps to go upstairs, how can I receive guests?"

Xiao Lu threw her long hair back to her shoulders, and answered unhurriedly: "There is a designer in the United States named David Rockwell, have you heard of it?"

Chang Qin nodded to make it clear.

"Mr. Rockwell's office in New York was converted into a reception area by using the steps for people to walk away. In the end, that area became the most eye-catching place in the whole studio." Xiao Lu continued, "The steps here, every Each step is quite long, and half of the area is set aside, so it is no problem for everyone to sit on the steps and chat. The old factory building is based on the obvious industrial style theme, so the reception area does not need to be rigorous and traditional. Some unexpected ideas, Often it makes for a design.”

Chang Qin thought about her idea for a long time, and finally agreed with this plan, and the method of changing it to the reception area is very simple, just add a few cushions and pillows on the steps.

After one cooperation, Chang Qin's favor towards Xiao Lu has been rising steadily. To be honest, when Xiao Yu just recommended his cousin to him, he was not at ease. It is enough for people to appreciate her. She is beautiful and capable. There are very few such women.

However, what really made Chang Qin respect Xiao Lu and admiration spontaneously was after the other party told her about his career experience.

When Chang Qin first met Xiao Lu, he was exuding low pressure. Although he was enthusiastic about the project at hand, but with a ball being kicked around, no one would be high-spirited. Xiao Lu heard that, lightly Smiling lightly, he moved to sit next to him and said, "I had just graduated from school, and I was not afraid of tigers when I was a newborn, but I chose the top [-] in the design industry. One of the companies read my resume and notified me to go for an interview. I was very excited that day. I came to the scene early and was led into a spacious conference room by the receptionist. Behind the long conference table, there were several staff members, among whom a Taiwanese The man looks a little old, but he is very energetic, and his clothes are also very fashionable. He looks like a senior designer.

After I briefly introduced myself, the designer from Taiwan asked me three questions.First: Please tell me how many prefecture-level cities there are in Guangxi Province; Second: Please tell me when Qin Shihuang unified China; Third: Please tell me what the climate is like in Qinghai Province.

The three questions were thrown out, and I was stunned on the spot. I couldn’t answer any of them. I choked for a long time, and my face was flushed. At that time, I regretted coming here for an interview. Fei proudly and arrogantly took his own humiliation, hesitated for a long time, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him that I would not.

The Taiwanese smiled contemptuously, and replied that elementary school students could answer these questions in Taiwan. I was even more embarrassed when I heard this, but I felt that since I was already sitting here, I couldn’t embarrass the mainlanders, so I took a deep breath. In a calm tone, ask the designer in front of me whether these questions are related to my future work. If they are, I will definitely check the information when I go back to ensure that I will never forget them in this life. The problem is to give up a potential employee. I hope you can give me a chance to follow you as an intern for a month. I won’t get a penny of salary in a month. If I can’t make results after a month, I promise Leave immediately.

In the end, the Taiwanese discussed with his assistant for a long time and decided to let me stay. The final result was that I successfully passed the one-month test period, and the Taiwanese later became my master.

After getting acquainted with the master, one day I asked him why he used such insignificant questions to embarrass the interviewer. The master glanced at me and then laughed. He told me, in fact, whether I could answer the three questions a little bit at that time. It's not important, what's important is that he wants to know my attitude towards dealing with problems when faced with difficulties. "

After Xiao Lu finished talking about her experience, she gently patted Chang Qin on the shoulder, then got up and left, leaving Chang Qin sitting alone on the soft cushion in the reception area they had just arranged, with mixed feelings in her heart.

In the end, the transformation of the old factory was well received in the industry with its simple architectural appearance, bold interior hard decoration and novel soft decoration. The biggest highlight is the naturally formed reception area on the steps. Chang Qin also took advantage of this to raise all boats. , received great attention from the company's top management headed by Jiang Lida.

From then on, Chang Qin began to pursue Xiao Lu. Judging from his brilliant love history, if he wants to get a woman, love words, flowers, and several dinners together, it is basically the same. Of course, the premise is that he himself has the unique However, when a generation of love sages came to Xiao Lu, they bumped into obstacles everywhere. When he was working, his affection for Xiao Lu was already evident. As long as the people around him were not stupid, they could see that Chang Qin was pursuing Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu, but Xiao Lu always treats him indifferently. He asked the other party to watch a movie, and he made an appointment five times before he barely got the chance to share a feast with the beautiful woman.

Coming out of the movie theater that night, Chang Qin hesitated for a long time. Even the surprise rose on the back seat of the car had already been prepared. After leading Xiao Lu to his car, Xiao Lu told him that she was going to study abroad for two years.

"So fast?" After Chang Qin heard this, his eyes were as big as fish bubbles, and he was still holding the car key in his hand, and was about to approach the car door and snap the lock to unlock it.

Xiao Lu nodded, and the hair on the side of her ear fell to her chest with her movements, covering half of her smiling face, but it was even more touching to cover her face even more.

Chang Qin only felt that his heart was being pulled hard, and he didn't care about the large bouquet of roses on the car. He reached out and grabbed each other's slender arms tightly, forcing the two of them to stay where they were, and asked bravely, "Xiao Lu, Be my girlfriend."

Xiao Lu turned her head unexpectedly, took a serious look at him, and finally shook her head: "Now, it's not possible yet."

"When can I wait for you to come back?" Chang Qin asked unwillingly.

Xiao Lu thought for a long time, but did not give a clear answer. She only said to give her some time to think about it, and then told Chang Qin to go home early and rest.

The two said goodbye at the entrance of the theater. Xiao Lu didn't see the big bouquet of roses in the end, and drove home in her own car, while Chang Qin stomped on the accelerator and rushed home until he slumped on the floor at home. Gradually realized: I, Chang Qin, was rejected? !

This encounter should really be recorded in the annals of the heartthrob Chang Qin. He has always been invincible on the road of love, but he will be rejected by others. If this matter is spread, it will be enough to be lively in his circle of friends for a year. I have to say that Xiao Lu is really an extremely smart woman. She neither accepted him nor said her words to death. Since she replied to consider it, it means that everyone still has a chance, but when will this chance come?tomorrow morning?Or after two years?

Chang Qin was puzzled, and looked at himself in front of the dressing mirror in the entrance: dark gray casual clothes with black overalls, and the white shirt inside was the expensive Amani he bought for the annual meeting. Coupled with his handsome appearance, I believe that no woman can stop his tender and tender confession, but I never expected that Designer Chang's once-in-a-hundred-year initiative will make people bow down astonishingly.

However, all the feelings could not be washed away by time. After that night, Xiao Lu did not reply to Chang Qin, and Chang Qin did not take the initiative to contact the other party. When Xiao Yu told him that Xiao Lu was leaving on the next day's flight, Chang Qin's heart ached for a while, and soon he appeared in the company alive and kicking, eloquently explaining the plan to the client, and checking the progress on the construction site calmly, without any haggard appearance of a broken love.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Xiao Lu came back.

When he received Xiao Yu's call that day, Chang Qin's dead heart showed signs of resurgence. He was really looking forward to seeing Xiao Lu again, but a cold text message poured all his enthusiasm into his heart Liang, once upon a time, Xiao Lu, a name that would make one's heart palpitate whenever one heard it, was actually tied to Xi Ling's name, and even when being slandered by the latter, one had to say Xiao Lu several times to comfort herself.

This is simply, mourning!Heart!sick!mad!

Chang Qin slammed on the steering wheel, and the off-road vehicle parked in front of the zebra crossing waiting for the green light was struck by thunder, which frightened the driver in the next lane. He focused on a couple holding hands on the sidewalk, but his mood was extremely tragic.

Xi Ling didn't reply all night.

Chang Qin, who was very injured, continued to come to the company the next day with dark circles under his eyes. In the afternoon, Mr. Jiang called him into the office, explained the appointment to meet Lawyer Xi tomorrow, and told him to meet at the company on time. Chang Qin was very happy After agreeing, the haze that had been lingering all night was quickly swept away.

Before leaving get off work, Xiao Yu knocked on the door of his office and said that Xiao Lu was already waiting in the restaurant. Chang Qin hurriedly packed up his things and turned off the computer, and then released the whole group.

Walking into the restaurant, you can see a dining table near the window in the corner from a distance. An elegant lady is quietly flipping through the menu. The restaurant waiter is standing next to her. After Xiao Lu ordered a dish, she gave some instructions to the waiter. The reporter nodded again and again, and hurriedly wrote on the small notebook in his hand.

Chang Qin saw it, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.

It wasn't until the two of them approached the dining table that Xiao Lu noticed it. She raised her head, smiled at them, then handed the menu upside down to Chang Qin, and asked, "Director Chang, what do you want to eat?"

Chang Qin took it politely, handed it to Xiao Yu, and said with a smile that I could do it.Xiao Yu added two dishes according to Chang Qin's taste, and ordered the waiter to serve.

The old man reunited, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there were naturally a few greetings about how are you doing recently. Although he had disappeared for less than a year, Xiao Lu, who was sitting opposite, was obviously a little more beautiful at this time, with her hair growing a bit, and half of it fell down on her chest , half of which is tied at the back of the head, making it look half charming and half playful.

Xiao Lu chatted with the two of them in a gentle manner, explaining what she had seen and heard abroad in the past few months. The reason why she couldn't come back after staying for two years was that there were many businesses in China that needed her, and she couldn't be turned away, so she had to interrupt her studies. return home.

"You are still so strong." Chang Qin commented on her with a smile.

Xiao Lu sipped her red wine and said modestly, "No, I'm just used to being busy. I'm not used to stopping work suddenly, so I just came back." Her voice was soft and sweet, and she could attract people's attention as soon as she spoke. On herself, she chatted with Chang Qin eloquently, as if she had forgotten the answer she had promised him before leaving a year ago.

As a smart woman, she can naturally see the ambiguous feelings in Chang Qin's eyes. When her glass is empty, Chang Qin picks up the bottle and pours wine for her. She needs to go to the bathroom. Chang Qin stands up and guides her. Such small details made her very useful.

Chang Qin at this time is far from the unknown little designer a year ago. He has just taken over the much-anticipated cultural village project, and the old factory renovation project has been included in the top three pre-selection list. His status in the company It is also soaring, the so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, although Chang Qin tonight is not as well-dressed as that night, but his every move is star-studded and personable, even if he is as lonely and self-admired as Xiao Lu, he can't turn a blind eye to him.

Sensing the hidden cremation between the two of them, Xiao Yufu thoughtfully made a phone call, told Chang Qin to take his cousin home safely.

Chang Qin hurriedly nodded his promise, and Xiao Lu smiled briskly: "What a coincidence, I didn't drive today, and I wanted to take my cousin's car home."

Chang Qin understood, sat back to his original seat, and waved to the waiter to take Xiao Yu's bowls and chopsticks away: "It is right to send you home, even if Xiao Yu doesn't leave early, I should also send you."

Xiao Lu pursed her lips and said thank you.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Lu rushed to pay, saying that she hadn’t returned to China for a long time, and she had to treat her old friend to dinner. Chang Qin naturally refused, and took out a few red bills and handed them to the waiter. The clinker replied that the man who had just left early had already After paying the money first, Chang Qin shrugged, smiled at Xiao Lu, and the two left the restaurant side by side.

"Shall I take you home?" Chang Qin asked Xiao Lu in the car.

Xiao Lu glanced at the profile of his face looking ahead, and said in a disappointed tone, "I didn't expect Director Chang to be so quiet and go home early."

Chang Qin smiled wryly and said, "There is no way, the cultural village project is imminent, and I have been away for so long, a lot of work is in arrears and I can't wait to break it in half every day, and I can't drag the team members to work hard every day. , I can only sacrifice myself to work more overtime, no, after sending you off, you have to go home to draw a picture, and I will talk about the plan in a few days, and I don’t even have a ppt ready.”

The disappointment on Xiao Lu's face was obvious, but she quickly smiled again: "Since Director Chang is so busy, I won't waste your time, just put me at the intersection."

"How can it be?" Chang Qin turned the steering wheel and drove straight into the gate of the community, "I never allow a lady to walk at night."

Xiao Lu's heart warmed up, and she thanked her sincerely.

When they drove to the downstairs of the building where Xiao Lu lived, Chang Qin parked on the side of the road and opened the door for him himself.

"I can go in by myself." Xiao Lu said politely after getting out of the car.

Chang Qin nodded, with warmth in his eyes: "I'm really sorry today, I'll treat Miss Xiao to dinner after I've been busy for a while."

After politely watching Xiao Lu enter the elevator, Chang Qin got in the car and left.

After returning home, Xiao Lu stood by the window, staring at the place where Chang Qin had just parked downstairs for a long time, recalling the conversation that night, she clearly caught the undercurrent in the other party's eyes, but there was an indescribable feeling of closeness and closeness. , a woman's mind is naturally delicate and sensitive, she can feel that Chang Qin still has a good impression of her, but in this good feeling, there is an inexplicable, illusory, and seemingly non-existent sense of distance.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Lu's job hunting experience is a personal experience she once heard from a teacher. She was very impressed and wrote it to encourage her.
