Chapter 368 The Hidden Pursuit
As the woman was being escorted out of An Songyu's house, she looked at An Songyu with admiration: "Ayu, just as you said, I'll take a look after the designer produces the next drawing."
"However, I think based on what Ayu just said, there shouldn't be any major problems."
An Songyu smiled and shook her head, saying, "As I just said, even in this design, some of the building materials may not be available."
“Of course I understand!” the woman said, unsurprised.
For example, the lily-of-the-valley shaped lamps and other small decorations, etc., were indeed made according to her preferences.
However, it's probably not that easy to find the same finished product elsewhere.
Achieving the same effect is naturally not entirely possible.
Although An Songyu cannot say that he knows all about these things now.
But she considers this to be almost the most basic ability.
So after the woman left, she handed several initial design drafts and her requirements to the designer.
He then said earnestly, "You should know that a design that cannot be implemented, no matter how good, is useless."
"Showing it to the client will only increase the difficulty of our work."
“It’s not entirely impossible!” The designer, who had been deep in thought, suddenly looked up after hearing An Songyu’s words.
“?” An Songyu looked at him with a lot of questions.
"If you mean these small decorations that I designed myself according to the client's preferences... I have some small studios that my classmates know that can make them." The designer didn't think it was a problem and explained carefully.
“These?” An Songyu’s hand landed on the lamp and the small porcelain ornaments.
“Yes! Small workshops can specialize in this kind of customization!” The designer could tell that An Songyu had no experience with this, so he gave a brief explanation.
An Songyu stared blankly at the designer for a while before shaking her head with a laugh.
Then she looked at him seriously again: "Okay, we'll find an opportunity to go and take a look... but if possible, we should also look around Shuncheng to see if there are any similar places."
The designer paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully and said, "I'll look for it carefully and let you know when I've made up my mind!"
"Okay!" An Songyu nodded slightly, checked the time, and then saw him out first.
If An Songyu weren't worried that Jian Ziyu might bring his boss to Happiness Garden today, she would have thought she should go out for a meal with the designer and have a more detailed discussion.
In the past, she felt that designers' designs could give her a lot of inspiration.
And even after simplification, it is not completely unusable.
But I really didn't discover that he also had a perfectionist side.
No... If he didn't have it, his design probably wouldn't be so unacceptable.
Perhaps it's because there are too many things we want to achieve and too many things we don't want to compromise on.
The final design is so perfect that it becomes completely unsuitable for real life.
That's impossible!
Just when An Songyu felt that she had truly gotten to know someone again.
Jian Ziyu and Manager Lin had just calmly emerged from the project.
Manager Lin remained somewhat silent throughout the journey.
But Wang Henian, who had just led the way for the two, showed no intention of following them.
He deliberately ignored any glances from his friends, and after watching the two get into the car, he quickly waved.
Jian Ziyu was somewhat helpless. After starting the car, he asked, "Uncle Lin, is there anything else you'd like to see?"
"How about we go have lunch together first? We can rest for a bit and then go somewhere else?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Manager Lin seemed to have been reminded of something. He thought for a moment before saying:
"Are the houses you're currently renovating located in the same neighborhood where your girlfriend and her family live?"
Jian Ziyu nodded slightly, and almost without Manager Lin saying anything more, he naturally changed direction.
Sure enough, Manager Lin said directly, "Would it be convenient to go in and take a look?"
"Most houses that are already renovated may not be suitable, but Ayu's house and the ones that are being renovated are fine."
“If Uncle Lin doesn’t mind, I can contact Ayu now,” Jian Ziyu replied, based on what she knew.
Neither he nor Wang Henian paid much attention to the renovation of Happiness Garden.
Many things are done by the customers communicating with An Songyu first, and then they follow An Songyu's instructions to draw or make modifications.
Fortunately, his relationship with An Songyu was different.
When the two talk on the phone every day, they always chat about what happened during their day.
Naturally, I came to understand a bit more about it.
After receiving Jian Ziyu's call, An Songyu immediately went downstairs.
After the two arrived, they went upstairs together to the house that was under renovation.
Because the start times for this batch of renovations were not entirely uniform, the completion levels were also not entirely uniform.
However, An Songyu first took the two of them to the client's home, which was almost finished with renovations.
After all, based on the principle of proximity, we also let the two of them take a look at the other apartments in the same building.
Some of these are nearly finished, while others are only halfway done.
In addition to the workers, they also encountered more than one homeowner.
They were clearly very familiar with An Songyu, and they would chat for a while after meeting each other.
I heard that Chien Tzu-yu is a designer, and some people came over to thank her and others came over to communicate with her.
In short, Manager Lin, who was standing to the side, saw a completely different side of Jian Ziyu than he had imagined.
"What do you think about Ayu wanting to resign?" Manager Lin asked after An Songyu finished relaying the homeowner's request to the workers.
An Songyu was slightly taken aback. She was somewhat surprised that this leader and elder, whom she had only just met, would talk to her about this.
However, after thinking about it carefully, An Songyu said, "Ayu is indeed very talented in interior design."
"However, he's loved architecture since he was a child, and I don't think he'll give it up!"
"So that's why he only decided to resign now?" Manager Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.
After all, Wang Henian had already left long ago.
But perhaps the reason why Ayu is only speaking now is because they are only just getting involved in architecture?
“That’s not entirely true!” An Songyu hesitated slightly before saying, “He had that idea after he started designing the ancestral home on those three acres of land.”
"But he always felt that you, Uncle Lin, had taken good care of him and given him many learning opportunities, so he was always reluctant to ask for help."
"Then why did he bring it up now?" Manager Lin asked with a hint of disdain.
An Songyu shook her head: "I really don't know!"
“He had been hesitant, but a few days ago he suddenly told me he would do it.”
"You even said you brought Uncle Lin home?"
"Perhaps it was you, Uncle Lin, who gave him enough courage?"
"You mean I want him to quit his job and start his own business?" Manager Lin glanced at An Songyu and shook his head.
Do you really think starting a business is so easy?
Thinking of his classmates and former colleagues, I wonder how many people want to take advantage of the convenience of this era to make good use of what they have learned.
But what was the final result?
They slunk back, but at least they were farsighted and left themselves a way out.
How much wealth has been lost, and now even the way back is blocked?
