[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"Is this Miss Fernandez?"

Joey was looking at the door with everyone, when he heard someone calling himself, he turned around quickly: "I am."

A man with gray hair and a somewhat awkward manner came over, bent down to her and stretched out his hand: "Ramon Moreno. At your service."

Joey stood up immediately: "Mr. Moreno? Great. I was just about to talk to you about Montjuic and the inland land. When is it convenient for you?"

Ever since she heard about Mr. Moreno's tragic experience at the first ball at the Earl's Mansion, she became very interested in the unsalable Montjuic.Moreno seemed to have been hit hard, and she didn't show up at the whole ball last time, but she asked Count Guell to help tell Moreno that she wanted to know about the transfer of Montjuic Mountain.

At that time, Guell said this: "Miss Fernandez, please don't think that I am nosy. You are so young, and you are still a woman who has never seen wind and rain. Discuss it with your father."

The well-known good man, Mr. Earl, showed embarrassment: "Oh, please God forgive me. I sympathize with Moreno's experience, and I hope he can get rid of this land as soon as possible to tide over the difficulties. But I can't just stand by. The girls of the world are ruined."

Joey smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Earl. I know it well."

Now, the haggard Moreno was in front of him, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a snow-white handkerchief: "I wonder if you are free tomorrow? If you want, I can take you around the mountains. Believe me, although there is There are some... rumors about it, but the view is actually very good, you can see the city of Barcelona."

Joey smiled reassuringly, "That's exactly what I mean."

Moreno's eyes lit up all of a sudden.Because he was forced to lower the price again and again, many people approached him to learn about the land that was eager to sell, but most of them didn't follow up after hearing about the taxes to be paid.This is the first reason to follow him to see customers on the ground.My God, a young girl who just moved to Barcelona!She probably doesn't even know what land tax is.

God will forgive him, right?Moreno wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief again, trying to suppress the sense of guilt in his heart.

"If possible, I hope to bring an architect with me tomorrow." The innocent girl like a fawn smiled.

"No problem! Of course!" Moreno replied repeatedly, fearing that she would regret it suddenly, "Did you find an architect when you first came to Barcelona? It seems that you are very lucky. And I believe that you not only If you are lucky, your vision must be top-notch.”

Joey was amused, but the words were right.She smiled and looked into the distance: "He is a very young architect. But I know that this city will be proud of him in the future."

"His name is Antonio Gaudi."

"Jose, my old friend! You have been getting busier recently." Count Guell greeted Jose.

He was actually just joking.After all, the great architect has been leading a team lately to remodel a house he bought last year.

"Good evening, Mr. Earl." Jose walked over with his son, "Isn't this trying to make your house a new landmark in Barcelona. Let me introduce you, this is my son Boaba, who is studying in architecture school In sixth grade."

"I believe you will grow up to be as good an architect as your father." Guell shook hands with Boaba cordially.

Boaba hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you..."

"Just him?" Jose's voice suddenly became harsh, "Don't praise him, he's not self-aware enough, hangs out with those cronies all day long, and doesn't think about making progress. He's not like me at all. He will be able to work in construction in the future. It’s not bad for me to make a living in the profession of a teacher.”

Boaba lowered his head embarrassingly, hid his retracted hands behind his back, and curled up unconsciously.

"As a father, you are too strict. I heard that the young man was invited to host the project before he graduated. He is obviously very good. Who is it..."

"Baron Demer." Boaba forced a smile.

"Yes, Baron Demer. I'm sure Boaba will surprise us."

Jose sneered: "Oh, he just gave him a chance to try for my sake, does he really think it's his own skill?"

He turned to his fidgeting son: "Let me tell you, you have to design well for others. If you smash my Abbas signboard, I will be the first to spare you."

"Father, I will work hard." Boaba forced a smile, and seeing the thin young man next to him from the corner of the eye, he felt his face start to burn.

Antonio stood quietly aside, actually basically not paying attention to what happened here.He was concentrating on the sketches on the table.

"Who is this?" Jose suddenly noticed the young man who had been silent all this time, he didn't seem to be conscious of the conversation at all.Could it be some distant relative of the Earl?

Guell, as always, was belated: "Oh yes, forgive me, I forgot to introduce you. This is Antonio Gaudí, the young architect that Miss Fernandez introduced to me. By the way, he is also a student of architecture school .”

"Really? That's my son's classmate."

Antonio and Boaba nodded to each other.Antonio was so absent-minded that he didn't notice Boaba's increasingly forced smile.

"Anna likes the roof design proposed by Mr. Gaudí very much."

The shy little girl smiled shyly when her father mentioned herself: "I like the candy house designed by Mr. Gaudi!"

"Oh, really? That's really good." Jose was a little surprised, with a delicate expression on his face.

When he attended the ball this time, he actually brought a new design drawing.Inspired by his son's homework.

It has been nearly a year since he took over the renovation project of the earl's newly purchased mansion. At present, the overall civil engineering renovation of the house has been completed, and the internal room layout, wall and floor waterproof insulation and drainage system are under construction.

He designed the exterior of the house to look like a palace. It is absolutely outstanding in the neighborhood, and Mr. Earl is also very satisfied.

The decoration materials for the original facade have also been prepared, but the owner suddenly raised objections to the design of the roof—Mr. Earl’s youngest daughter, Anna, has recently become obsessed with fairy tales, and she used to pinch her father for three days. The killer weapon on the shoulder was the promise of having the roof built in the fairy-tale style she liked.

After the plan was handed over, Party A had to make changes, and the reason given was still "my daughter suddenly wanted to do this"-this was originally the most hated client of the architect.

But Mr. Earl has always been a generous donor, and he offered enough attractive compensation, but unfortunately, the team submitted several proposals that were rejected by the little girl at a glance.

Jose struggled for a long time, and finally felt a little annoyed—as the leading architect in Barcelona, ​​he was always in the seller's market, and there was a long queue of projects waiting for him to design, but here he was troubled by a little girl's whimsical fantasy !

The Earl was too doting on his daughter.After reading a few old fairy tales today, I want to build a candy house on the roof. After reading "Don Quixote" tomorrow, do I want to build a big windmill on the roof?Five or six-year-old children can't figure out what can be built and what can only be kept in their minds.

In a fit of anger, he even told the earl that he might really not know what the so-called "fairy tale style" is, and the earl is welcome to find another designer to provide a solution, and he will never mind.

He trusts his knowledge of the Barcelona architectural scene.An architect who can satisfy a little girl's fairy tale fantasy has probably not yet been born.He waited for the count to finally give up.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, my son brought home an assignment, and the style of a house he designed was exactly in line with this style.He was overjoyed, and based on that homework, he re-drawn a design drawing. I believe the little girl will like it this time.

Thinking of this, José didn't show anything, and asked the young man with a smile: "Mr. Gaudí, is that right? You started designing projects at such a young age? Is your father also an architect?"

Antonio came to his senses, "He's a boilermaker."

Jose raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and said in a subtle tone: "Then he must have provided a lot of help to your career as an architect."

Antonio said calmly: "Yes. He cultivated my imagination of three-dimensional space."

Jose's subtle ridicule did not arouse the shame he should have, and he felt a little blocked for some reason.He put on a smile of a senior successful person, and stretched out his hand: "That's great. I'm Jose Abbas, the architect who presided over the renovation of Mr. Earl's house. Can I have the honor to see your design plan?"

The boy shook hands with him very naturally, and he didn't show any surprise when he heard his name and identity.He pointed to the sketch next to it: "It's just a preliminary idea. Today I chatted with Anna. Besides candy, she also wants elements of the forest. I have to read the book again."

Heh, at such a young age, he pretends to be quite decent.Jose scoffed in his heart, reading books can help him design buildings?Today's children just don't understand the importance of hard work.

He looked in the direction the young man pointed, and was suddenly taken aback.

"Wait a minute—" Jose frowned tightly, "Is this your own design?"

Antonio looked up at him, "Yes. What's wrong?"

"Actually," he opened the leather bag he was carrying, and turned to look at Guell, "Mr. Earl, I just got inspiration from my son's design a few days ago, and I made a new design drawing, and I want to bring it Let me show you."

The blueprint was opened, and several people came over curiously.

Boaba was at a loss at first, but when his father unfolded the blueprint, he suddenly understood something, and his face turned pale.

Cold sweat dripped down his back in an instant.
