Chapter 28 Chapter 28 I really can hold it in...
[Oh my god, why do I see weakness and helplessness in such a tall man?]
[Really! It's like he's just been left there. Even though his master ignores him, he doesn't dare to leave...]
[This back view is indeed a bit lonely...]
So what happened? Did they have a fight? Did they fail to reach an agreement?
"Shouldn't Captain Shi be the one who's angry? It's obvious that Master is the one who's not interested in talking to people right now!"
[Master is really tough! He's actually starting to leave the client alone! There's this incredible male model waiting there, and he's completely unmoved and even has the energy to choose the materials!!!]
[Are you stupid? Is that a normal customer? This is clearly a couple having a fight!]
[Did Captain Shi make the master angry?]
This is a bit too hard to imagine...
[Yeah, hasn't he always been very nice to Master? He's either domineeringly protecting his wife or telling her to go east and not go west.]
[That means you want a title, but Master won't give it to you!]
[Oh my god! That seems to make sense!]
"Right?! Haven't you seen that Captain Shi hasn't been here much lately, and Master hasn't been out much either! She must be wanting a secret relationship, but Captain Shi disagrees, and after the argument, he just left her alone to calm down!"
[So why does Master want to have a secret relationship? ]
【Forehead……】
Is it because Shi Dae is a public figure? Is there a risk in being exposed?
[Feeling it won't last? Don't want to make a grand announcement and then have it abruptly ended?]
Are you worried that if we find out, it will affect your work?
[Do you still think we'll cause a stir and be embarrassed to make it public?]
[How about one of you go and find out?]
【Why don’t you go! 】
"It's not that I won't go. We've been in the company for so long, has anyone successfully discussed relationship issues with Master?"
【Anyway, I don’t have it】
[+1]
[+1]
This year, Master has been courted by at least eight, if not ten. Honestly, I'm quite optimistic about a few of them. I've previously asked Master why she didn't agree, whether she didn't like their type or something. Such basic questions, but she flatly dodged the question! She didn't even answer a single word!
"Could it be that you've been hurt in a relationship? Just the body... not the feelings..."
[Fuck! This is a bit intense! ! ]
【But it seems a bit reasonable! ! 】
[Let's be honest, when it comes to the physical aspect, there's probably no one more authoritative than Team Time, right?]
[So this is why Master is willing to have a secret relationship with him?]
[Confirmed!] [After this analysis, Team Shi seems even more pitiful]
[Of course, the Short Course World Cup is about to start, so he'll definitely have to go back for training next month! But his wife still refuses to give him a formal relationship, so he must be feeling uneasy! Otherwise, she wouldn't be pushing him so hard and come to the studio to block him.]
How do we do this? Can we help?
[How can I help? Or should I...]
Su Tu knew that this seemingly silent space was actually full of various sounds.
Because all four people behind her were holding their phones, and they were busy working when her back was turned. As soon as she turned her head, they immediately started swiping the screen, pretending to look through cases.
Because there will always be one or two people who don't react in time, and they won't start to make changes in a hurry until the person sitting opposite them kicks them.
Even Tang Mo, who was beside her, seemed a little absent-minded. She would look back from time to time, as if she couldn't wait to join in.
Only when she asked questions about the batch of materials did she seem to be paying attention at all.
Su Tu pretended not to know and quietly selected a few available models, then sorted the rest into storage. Only then did he hear some real movement behind him.
The delivery man brought two bags of milk tea, and the noises everyone made when distributing them seemed a bit deliberate.
First, she enthusiastically called Tang Mo over, and then Tao Qingqing came over with the remaining two cups: "Sister Susu, we ordered milk tea. You've been busy for so long, why don't you take a break?"
"And since Captain Shi was here too, I ordered his portion too. I saw he'd been sitting in there for quite a while. Do you have anything else to discuss?"
"How about you send it to him?"
Su Tu then glanced towards the conference room.
Seeing that large, silent figure sitting there without any movement, I felt as if I was being left alone in class, and felt a little guilty.
After all, they are customers.
Being too busy is not a reason not to entertain guests.
He raised his hand and checked the time.
It's been over an hour.
I can really hold it in...
She sighed secretly, but didn't refuse: "Okay."
He gestured to Tao Qingqing to put the milk tea aside, then patted the dust off his palms, went outside to wash his hands, and after coming back, he knocked on the door of the conference room with the bag in hand.
"that……"
Su Tu cleared his throat, put the bag on the table, pointed outside and said, "They ordered milk tea, I brought you a cup."
Shi Shu raised his eyes.
His expression didn't change, but his voice was a little hoarse: "Thank you."
Su Tu noticed that the glass of water that was originally poured for him had not been touched until now.
Let him figure it out here.
Just thinking here really.
I just glanced in from outside a few times and saw that they were just staying there quietly without making any unnecessary moves.
One can't help but feel that he is really reflecting on his mistakes seriously.
A student with a positive attitude.
It's always easy to make people soft-hearted.
I thought of how "strict" I was just now.
Su Tu realized it belatedly and felt a little apologetic. He pursed his lips and offered a way out: "Have you... thought it through?"
What she wanted to say was that if he really didn't know how to change it, he could actually go back and confirm it first. As long as the final design requirements given to her were accurate, he wouldn't let her waste time. It wouldn't matter if he did it a little later.
But unexpectedly, he nodded lightly: "Yeah."
She was stunned: "..."
After a moment of silence, he finally found his voice: "So, let's continue chatting now?"
Shi Shu hummed, "Okay."
Su Tu then sat back down, brought the previously printed floor plan in front of him, uncapped the pen, held it in his hand, and said, "You go ahead."
Shi Shu placed his hands in front of him and gently rubbed his knuckles with his knuckles.
After a moment's pause, he raised his eyes, his tone still a little uncertain, but no longer beating around the bush: "I'll try my best to describe it. If you think of anything during the process, please give me some hints, okay?"
“…”
Su Tu didn't know how he had gotten to this point. He evasively said, "Of course, this is my job."
Shi Shu nodded, and after reassessing his thoughts in his mind, he spoke carefully, "As I said before, the overall tone should be dark, gray-brown, and soft beige. I think that's the right direction."
"But in the first three drafts, the old money style was too dull and did not match the client's profile; the natural ecology and French medieval style were too soft and needed some soft furnishings and green plants."
“Although the ratio of the number of ornaments to the white space is appropriate when the arrangement is complete, the accumulation of various daily necessities during use may make it a bit messy.”
"What I wanted was to preserve the design's texture while creating an overall effect that was spacious and airy, requiring relatively little maintenance."
“I don’t know if the description is accurate.”
"But the main focus should be on hard furnishings, with a minimalist style. Soft furnishings should be kept to a minimum, with the exception of large, proportionate furniture, avoiding any overpowering accents."
Customer portrait.
White space ratio.
Focus on hard decoration.
Streamlined soft furnishings...
After hearing this, Su Tu was shocked as much as when he suddenly received the order and confirmed in person that his client was indeed the world-famous athlete.
How could this be a professional term that an athlete who knows nothing about design could casually say???
Suddenly, she remembered that a few years ago when he was studying at University A, he had actually come to the Creative College several times and taken classes with her classmates.
She had the impression that most of the courses were public courses, but she couldn't remember clearly about the professional courses.
She opened her lips and was stunned for a long time.
Not to mention giving any hints, he even started to suspect that he might be the layman: "...Anything else?"
"Um."
He nodded. "Also, we need a fireplace in the living room."
She blinked in confusion. "Fireplace?"
"What's the reason?"
Without hesitation, he looked at her and said, "She's afraid of the cold."
“…”
Su Tu was a little stunned again: "In fact, we can just lay floor heating. Fireplaces are not very practical and can easily cause safety hazards."
Shi Shu said, "Fake fire will do."
She raised her eyes: "Hmm?"
He didn't move his gaze: "It looks warm."
“…”
Dark tones.
Simple and transparent.
It has texture but is not messy.
It requires large-scale furniture and a fireplace.
To feel cool, yet warm...
Su Tu tilted his head, and these conditions passed through his mind lightly. Immediately, as if he had been enlightened, he blurted out: "Italian minimalism?"
She suddenly looked at the screen, then reached for the mouse and looked through the case studies stored in the shared disk. She showed him a few rare examples of Italian-style mansions with fireplaces, one by one. "Is this one?"
There was a hint of optimism in his eyes.
It was like finally understanding the difficulty that had troubled me for a long time, and also like suddenly being hit in my own pain point.
"almost."
Shi Shu nodded affirmatively first, then followed up on this and casually asked, "Do you like it too?"
Su Tu had no doubt: "I like it."
“But there are actually quite few people doing this style.”
Shi Shu: “Why?”
"Um……"
Su Tu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the simpler something is, the more sophisticated the craftsmanship is. It's not difficult to design it, but if there's a problem with the construction, it can easily become cheap."
"Besides, nowadays people are emphasizing light decoration and heavy decoration, so we should use less hard decoration and more soft decoration. We can change it anytime when we get tired of it, and it is also more convenient for future renovations."
The Italian style, on the other hand, pays great attention to the texture of the hard decoration. The wall shape must be done, but it cannot be complicated.
Maybe you can lay a whole piece of marble and add some joints or metal lines to create the effect, but the larger the area, the effect will be completely overturned if the joints are uneven.
For example, a nearly 3-meter-long board can be made from top to bottom without any gaps, which looks very simple and clean.
But when laying such a large piece of material flatly, one has to consider whether it will deform during use and what methods should be used to prevent deformation.
Most of the methods on the market are to cut it into 2-3 pieces, support them separately, and then connect them together. However, once there are too many stitches, the tapes at the details will leak out, and the high-end feel will be completely lost.
Therefore, the craftsmanship requirements are extremely high, which has become one of the points that discourage people from buying Italian food.
In addition, there are the problems of furniture selection and high costs. Italian furniture, while simple and sophisticated in appearance, is extremely difficult to imitate. For quality, it is best to choose imported furniture. Even a sofa set from a few well-known Italian furniture brands can easily cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The group of people who can afford such a mansion and support its construction cost are usually of a certain age.
In comparison, they actually prefer the profound Chinese style, Song style, or the more magnificent European style.
Including Su Tu himself, although he likes it, he has never considered this style.
Because with her financial resources, even if she bought a house one day, it would at most be a small three-bedroom house of about 100 square meters. It could neither be as spacious and luxurious as Italian style, nor could it support the subsequent construction costs.
But she was already happy to have the opportunity to try it out: "Are you sure you want to do this style?"
"still……"
"Let's go back and confirm with her first?"
Although he was very happy, she had just been outside and she didn't seem to see him use his mobile phone to contact anyone. What if he just thought that "she" would like it, and then he would have to redo it after it was done?
Shi Shu made a direct conclusion: "Let's do it."
It has been confirmed.
Su Tu didn't worry about it anymore: "Okay."
He kept clicking the mouse, flipping through the case diagrams, thinking about which parts he could use for reference. His voice seemed a little slow: "Then I'll contact you again in about a week, the last week and a half, to review the plan."
After a moment of silence, he suddenly called her, "Su Tu."
She propped her chin on one hand and turned back happily: "Hmm?"
He seems to be in a good mood and should be easy to talk to.
He wanted to ask her if they were going swimming on Saturday, but the joy in her eyes had nothing to do with him.
And feel.
No need to ask.
