BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263 - 264: Bump into (4)
“I don’t regret it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Lu Weixi replied quickly.
How could he not regret it? “Though there may be many opportunities, he’s going to live in China permanently. You guys are bound to run into each other.” You might not always avoid Qin Zhigu, you guys work in the same industry. As does Cai Yiren.
Lu Weixi edited his message again, “We can talk about it later, let’s forget it for this time. Just like you, if you get a movie part that asks for Huang Qichu, would you go?” Just as he was about to send it, he thought better of it, fearing it would reopen Xue Feifei’s old wounds, so he deleted “Huang Qichu” and replaced it with “Yu Sixing”.
Predictably, this time Xue Feifei replied instantly: “Let him die!”
Well, that settles that. She understood that Lu Weixi rejecting the opportunity to work with Qin Zhigu also had to do with avoiding controversy. After all, five years ago she was only involved with Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren, but now, she had a husband, Qin Zhiyou.
Now that Qin Zhigu is back, it really is not a good time to collaborate. Over time, though, things might gradually get better.
After ending the call, she opened her door to change her shoes. Staring down at the pair of sneakers on her feet, Xue Feifei looked for a while, eventually leaving them outside the house. Following that, she collected all the little things that Huang Qichu had given her over the years, put them in a box, and threw them in the trash can downstairs.
Some things of the past are just that, the past. People should always look forward.
Next Friday.
In the office of Siyi Company, Qin Zhigu was looking at various application drafts. First, he dismissed proposals that did not meet the requirements from the thousands of initial submissions. Then, submissions that were too westernized were directly passed on as they did not meet boss Liao’s aesthetics. Traditional ones were also passed on. Boss Liao wanted a touch of modern style. The quirky styled ones were rejected, leaving only a handful of submissions that matched his aesthetics.
Then, these were passed on to his assistant for feasibility analysis, simulations, budget control. After several rounds of filtering, only ten final drafts reached their table.
Among these ten, boss Liao was generally satisfied with all, leaving it up to Qin Zhigu to decide. He examined each one meticulously, and when he got to the penultimate one, in bold, it read “Bai Family Landscape Design”. No need to think, it was surely submitted by Cai Yiren.
To be fair, Cai Yiren’s team seemed to be seasoned experts. Although the style was a bit westernized, it was still acceptable. Moreover, whether it was because Cai Yiren knew him well, the entire design seemed to adhere to his architectural style.
Although Cai Yiren wasn’t the lead designer, without her, the present effect would not have been possible. Qin Zhigu’s expression was complex. If the last draft couldn’t impress him, he might actually lean towards the Bai Family’s design.
He hasn’t yet seen the final proposal when his deputy, the foreigner Michael from the dinner last time, shook his head, “What’s wrong with this proposal, it doesn’t even have a signature.”
Qin Zhigu took it over and saw, indeed, it had no company’s name, no team’s name, no lead designer, no knowledge of who designed it, just a code. It’s like handing in an exam paper without your name or class. How did his team let this one pass?
He suppressed his impatience, flipped open the design, and after a short look, he was rather astonished.
How to put it – This proposal is a perfect match for his design.
