Chapter 285 Why isn’t it considered a kind of happiness for cattle and horses?
Wilt Corporation has a history of over a hundred years. As China has developed technology over the years, it has been importing chips from them, and the prices have been rising year by year.
The situation did not improve slightly until the Lihai Group emerged and produced alternative chips.
Now there is another strong rival, Ruiming, which has developed chips that are not available on the market. Its technology is far superior to theirs. It is understandable that Wilt is eager to attack its competitors.
After all, China is their largest customer. If more advanced, higher-quality, and lower-priced chips appear in China, it would be the same as cutting off their source of income.
"Some money is definitely better earned by me than by our competitors." Meng Anran smiled, his expression showing his determination to win the chip market.
Qin Mu pinched her cheek lovingly, "Miss An has never failed to accomplish anything she wants to do."
…
While snowflakes were falling in Jing City, cold rain was falling in Hai City.
The damp and cold winter in the south is bone-chilling, and no amount of clothes can resist it.
Meng Zhen felt the coldness of winter in the south for the first time. As soon as she stepped out of the house in the morning, she had the urge to fly back to Beijing immediately.
The house Xiao Han found for her was just downstairs from his residence. When she went out, he was waiting for her at the elevator entrance.
"Why don't you wear more clothes?" Seeing her go out, Xiao Han hurried over and took off his scarf to put it around her neck. "Hai City is different from Beijing City. It will feel very cold when it rains. After get off work at noon, I'll take you to buy some down jackets. They are lighter and warmer than cotton clothes."
Meng Zhen nodded, and when his warm big hand held hers, the idea of returning to Beijing was instantly dispelled.
With him by my side, the long winter in the south doesn't seem so hard to endure.
Today is Meng Zhen's first day to work at Xiao Han's studio. She came here mainly to learn, and Xiao Han arranged for a designer with a good personality in the studio to guide her.
"Let me introduce you to Shao Lengyu, a senior designer in our studio." Xiao Han brought Meng Zhen to a woman with short hair and introduced them to each other. "Old Shao, this is Meng Zhen. She's here to learn and will be your assistant for the time being."
"Oh~" Shao Lengyu looked at the two people holding hands tightly together, and instantly understood, "You are selfish!"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes speechlessly. Afraid that Shao Lengyu wouldn't teach Meng Zhen seriously, he explained a few words: "She has always liked interior design. For some reason, she chose to become a doctor. Now she wants to study interior design formally. You should teach her well."
"Okay." Shao Lengyu made an OK gesture and then extended a friendly hand towards Meng Zhen. "Just call me Ah Yu. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
"Please give me your guidance." Meng Zhen shook his hand and felt that the other party's attitude was quite friendly. She finally felt relieved.
She was originally afraid that a newbie like her would be inserted through the back door and cause a lot of controversy.
Shao Lengyu seemed to see her worry, and smiled as he leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry, you're Teacher Xiao's girlfriend, he'll support you. No one in this studio dares to object to his decision."
Meng Zhen was stunned for a moment, a little confused about the meaning of these words.
She soon understood.
At the morning meeting, Xiao Han checked the progress of each project in the studio in the past few days and reviewed several designs one by one.
Then, open the microphone passionately.
"Are you carrying such a large head on your neck to increase your height? Do you think this design is reasonable? Such a small house with an open kitchen? Is your life too dull? You need to breathe in some cooking fumes to freshen it up?"
"What are you laughing at? Do you have the right to laugh? Do you have the nerve to laugh? Look at what you've drawn? I asked you to submit a line drawing, not a rough draft! You have quite the imagination. Look at these artistic furniture pieces. They all have to be custom-made, right? Have you calculated the expected cost for the client?! If you have such a lot of imagination, why bother with design? You should just hold an art exhibition instead! What a waste of talent!"
"And you, Lao Shao!"
When his name was suddenly called, Shao Lengyu took a deep breath and dared not breathe.
Xiao Han frowned and flipped through the design draft in his hand. "Building a spiral staircase in a 70-square-meter house? Did your brain get soaked because it rained recently without an umbrella? The stairs take up half of the floor area. I just want to ask, how many floors of the house are enough for you to build five bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and three bathrooms?"
Shao Lengyu pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Teacher Xiao, the spiral staircase is a mandatory requirement of the client. I've already communicated with him, but he won't listen and insists on having it. This project is the largest one our studio has ever had. I don't dare to make any decisions without you here. I can only produce the draft according to the client's requirements."
Xiao Han threw the design draft on the table, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and called the client that Shao Lengyu mentioned.
The moment the call was connected, he didn't even say hello and launched into a barrage of criticism: "Your brain is quite energy-efficient; it can even last a whole day in standby mode. I told you before that a spiral staircase couldn't be built, and you're trying to embarrass my colleague while I'm away, right? You don't listen to the designer and insist on doing it your way. Why hire a designer when you're so awesome? Why not just draw it yourself? Anyway, I'm saying this: either give up that damn spiral staircase or find someone else! I'll give you what you can do every day! Yeah, right, you're rich, and we share the money equally, what a cheapskate! Switch studios? Then thank you so much. When the renovation is done, remember to invite me to see your spiral staircase!"
After cursing, he hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.
He put his phone on the table, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed his brain, which had been deprived of oxygen by his cursing. Then his tone suddenly became much better: "Lao Shao, I won't do this order anymore. I'll arrange some other work for you later."
"Okay." Shao Lengyu pursed her lips and smiled. She was usually scolded badly by Xiao Han, but at this time, she felt that it was quite satisfying to hear Xiao Han scolding her.
Xiao Han would fight back against all those difficult clients. As workers, they had never suffered from the pain of being forced to make changes by the client.
On some level, how can it not be considered a kind of happiness like that of cattle and horses?
Meng Zhen was stunned. This was the first time she had heard Xiao Han curse. After her idol became her boyfriend, they were so peaceful and sweet together that she had forgotten that Xiao Han was best known as the "poisonous tongue designer."
He curses without taking a breath and never repeats himself.
After the morning meeting, Xiao Han took Meng Zhen to his office and poured her a glass of water.
"I didn't scare you just now, did I?" There was a hint of guilt in his voice.
"No." Meng Zhen took the water cup and smiled gently, "Teacher Xiao is famous. It's not the first day I've known him. You'll just have to get used to it."
Xiao Han scratched his head and sighed: "I can be a bit irritable when I'm working, and I can't control my mouth when I'm anxious."
He knew too well how toxic his words were, and he also knew that Meng Zhen was a soft-hearted person. It would be bad if he said something hurtful without paying attention.
Otherwise, he would never be willing to hand his girlfriend over to Shao Lengyu.
