Chapter 115: Is He Deliberately Messing with Her?_i
Lin Xinxin cast a glance at the documents she was halfway through reading and said, “Have you really finished reading them?”
She seemed skeptical.
Hai Xiaotang replied nonchalantly, “There is still a part that I haven’t finished reading yet.”
“I hope you can finish reading soon, and by tomorrow morning, submit a basic design sketch to me,” urged Lin Xinxin.
“Tomorrow?!” Hai Xiaotang was shocked.
Lin Xinxin nodded, “Yes, tomorrow morning! You just have to design a basic model that should be in line with the actual situation of the orphanage.”
After saying that, she left straight away, not caring whether Hai Xiaotang could complete the task today or not.
Hai Xiaotang sneered, was Lin Xinxin intentionally messing with her?!
But she didn’t care, her time under Dongfang Yu would be over shortly!
By then, whether it would be Dongfang Yu or Lin Xinxin, she would never have to see them again!
Hai Xiaotang returned home early, had dinner, and then went to work in the small study.
If Lin Xinxin wants her to design the basics, then she’ll design the basics!
When Dongfang Yu came home late at night, Hai Xiaotang was still hard at work.
He opened the door of the study, approached her, and saw that she had produced about half of her sketches.
“Be sure to askif there is something you don’t understand,” he reminded her.
Without even lifting her head, Hai Xiaotang retorted, “It’s nothing more than drawing a house, there’s nothing I don’t understand. Besides, there’s too much I don’t understand, even asking won’t allow me to understand.”
“Even when it comes to drawing a house, you need basic knowledge,” Dongfang Yu pointed out.
Hai Xiaotang looked up and indignantly replied, “When you involved me in design, you should have known that I don’t even understand the basics.” Dongfang Yu looked at her quietly, “So you’re not willing to learn anything?” “Why would I want to learn this?” She had absolutely no interest in it and didn’t want to participate in the design.
“So, what do you want to learn?” Dongfang Yu counter-questioned.
“…” Hai Xiaotang was left speechless.
The man calmly spoke, “You possess a talent for this, you should utilize it. The job only entails designing the exterior, you needn’t concern yourself with anything else. You are doing a job that all designers aspire to do!”
Hai Xiaotang laughed lightly, “I don’t think this job is as great as you make it out to be. It’s just drawing a house; anyone off the street can do that.”
Dongfang Yu sighed, “If only it was really that easy.”
“But it is easy.” Who can’t draw a house?
Dongfang Yu didn’t feel like explaining too much to her, “You just do your job, remember, house designing is also an art.”
Having said that, he left.
Hai Xiaotang, having little knowledge, truly didn’t see this as an art.
Working diligently, she managed to finish drawing the house before midnight.
Hai Xiaotang admired her work and proudly laughed.
The house she drew was so beautiful, simply perfect!
She thought that when she presented the design sketch to Lin Xinxin the next day, it would give her a shock.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xinxin looked at it for a while and then flatly stated, “This model won’t work, you will have to start over.”
Hai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow, “Wiry won’t it work?”
Without any courtesy, Lin Xinxin addressed Hai Xiaotang, “Firstly, it’s too flamboyant for an orphanage. Secondly, you haven’t designed it considering the real situation at the orphanage. The house you’ve designed values comfort and grandeur over practicality. This results in a lot of wasted space and fewer rooms. An orphanage adds more people every year and currently houses over 500 orphans. Your design won’t provide enough rooms.”
She handed the sketches back to Hai Xiaotang, “Didn’t I tell you to read the material thoroughly yesterday? Have you actually understood the orphanage’s population, area, history etc.?”
