Chapter 494 Unexpected
The designer had spent a considerable amount of time with the three of them, and seeing the reactions of Wang Henian and the other two, he felt there was potential.
Without even thinking, he said, "How about I make an appointment with my friend so we can meet her first?"
"Whether we can do it or not, we'll see!"
"Anyway, I heard that nouveau riche, besides being demanding, is also very willing to spend money!"
An Songyu and the other two opened their mouths slightly, really wanting to refuse the suggestion.
But seeing the designer's enthusiastic expression, he ultimately didn't say anything.
Oh well, I'll just consider it a chance to go out and meet more people, and hear about their requirements when building houses.
Even if they don't end up doing it, they'll still have something to learn from!
With this idea in mind, An Songyu and the other two became much more proactive.
But on the day the designer had arranged, only An Songyu and his wife showed up.
As for Wang Henian... the client in Zhongcheng that he was in charge of was going to expand into other markets recently because of business matters.
They hoped to finalize the design and start date before leaving.
Wang Henian naturally found it difficult to refuse such a suggestion.
Even though he had to work overtime continuously to meet the deadline for the design drawings, he also had to take advantage of An Songyu and the other person's free time to discuss things together from time to time.
Even if they couldn't go together for what they had originally agreed to do today, he still had to prioritize the client's needs.
After An Songyu and the other two waved goodbye and watched Wang Henian leave with his design assistant, they left.
The three of them headed straight for Nanshi.
At the Nanshi Grand Hotel, An Songyu skillfully led everyone through the guests.
The designer and Chien Tzu-yu ended up lagging behind her.
Seeing that An Songyu could pinpoint the location precisely by simply mentioning the name of a private room, the designer couldn't help but ask, "Did you often come here when you were in Nanshi?"
As students of Nanjing University, An Songyu and Jian Ziyu are people who have heard of them even slightly.
Jian Ziyu shook her head: "When Ayu was in school, she would occasionally come here to work."
As the largest hotel in Nanshi, this is the best choice for many students who don't own hotels and want to stay in the industry.
Of course, just because they are students of Nanjing University and chose to come here doesn't guarantee them the opportunity to stay.
However, over the years, the Hotel Management Department of Nanjing University has indeed accumulated a considerable number of students from Nanjing University.
This has given Nanjing University's juniors more opportunities to work while they are at school.
An Songyu actually hasn't come that many times.
After all, she goes back to Shuncheng almost every winter and summer vacation.
However, she has a close friend who is exceptionally passionate about desserts.
I've naturally worked at places like dim sum restaurants during summer vacations.
When An Songyu occasionally spent time with her at the hotel, she naturally learned more about these places.
However, Chien Tzu-yu only mentioned it briefly and did not explain it in detail.
Just then, the two of them arrived at the door of the private room, following behind An Songyu.
The designer leaped past An Songyu and knocked on the door of the private room first.
However, there were not just two people in the private room at this moment.
After seeing the situation in the private room, the designer immediately gave his friend a questioning look.
He shook his head slightly at his friend and then stood up first.
Next, he carefully introduced An Songyu and the other two to the first man who looked relatively young.
The man's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing that the person was a designer.
He didn't even listen to the introduction of An Songyu and the other person, and quickly stood up, politely inviting the three of them to sit down.
The designer frowned slightly upon seeing this.
However, he first led An Songyu and the other person to sit down.
Just as he was preparing to find an opportunity to reintroduce the two of them later, he saw Jian Ziyu next to him secretly shake his head at him.
The designer was somewhat surprised, but still exchanged pleasantries with the other party first.
After a while, there was another knock on the door of the private room.
When he saw those familiar figures at the door of the private room, the designer completely abandoned his original idea.
As the capital city of Nanning Province, Nanning is not far from Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Not to mention the present era, even in special times, there were still people engaged in interior decoration and design.
It's just that the way we did it before was different.
There are indeed not many companies like An Songyu's that have gotten on the right track from the very beginning.
However, there are also cases where, after proper development, they have gotten back on track.
The company where the designer worked in Nanshi was like that.
With such a large market in the entire Nanshi area, it's impossible for them to be the only dominant player.
Among the people who have just come in, there is one that the designer knows very well.
As for the people with him, the designer didn't know them all, but some of them looked somewhat familiar.
That's why the designer completely abandoned this objective.
Whether the person sitting in the main seat did it on purpose or genuinely had an important phone call to take, it was unclear.
After seeing that all the seats were filled, he apologized to everyone and then took his phone and went out.
Those who had been smiling just moments before seemed to vanish as the door to the private room closed again.
Many of them were sizing each other up.
The designer, ignoring even his old rival's provocative gaze, asked his friend directly, "What's going on here?"
His friend also shook his head: "I don't know either!"
“When I called him to communicate, he directly asked how many people I would be coming and then arranged the time.”
At this point, his friend also expressed some regret: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask more questions."
"That's alright!" The designer shook his head slightly.
Ignoring his friend's questioning look, he leaned close to Jian Ziyu and whispered, "Among the last few people to come in, one of them is from the design institute!"
From a design institute?
Chien Tzu-yu subconsciously looked at the designer with a questioning gaze.
The designer nodded slightly.
Chien Tzu-yu became even more puzzled.
Nowadays, design institutes are truly amazing.
Aside from the task assignments, every single task they're given next is a major undertaking.
How could someone like that appear here?
After thinking it over, Jian Ziyu finally asked, "Then... are you aware of this guest's identity?"
The designer nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly: "I only know the general story of how he made his fortune and have vaguely heard some information about his background."
"As for anything more specific, I don't know."
After all, I've been working in Nanshi for so many years.
He had even worked at the company, so naturally he had heard some of it.
Judging from today's situation, perhaps the news he heard is more likely to be true than he thought.
Just then, his friend quietly introduced him to some people who had arrived even earlier than them.
The designers further discovered that among these people were either companies or organizations they had previously contacted, or people they had heard of but never met in person.
This is really... I originally thought it would be an opportunity.
But I never expected it to be in this kind of situation.
