Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Are you hot?
Just two words.
Yang Hao keenly sensed something unusual.
It feels like seeing the prey you have been lurking for a long time, and suddenly there is a crosshair on it. If you are not careful, it will be intercepted. It makes people alert and disgusted.
This situation of being provoked without any reason can best arouse the potential desire to win, so no matter how big the gap seems to be, he will never show weakness in responding.
He immediately frowned, looked him up and down, then sneered and replied in a subtle manner of home court, "Yes."
"Teacher Su and I have known each other for so long. We see each other every day. Isn't it normal for us to have a good relationship?"
In comparison, Shi Shu's reaction was much calmer: "Really?"
The voice was clear and there was no questioning tone.
There is a kind of response where since the other person has said that, I just casually add another sentence to deal with it.
The deep black eyes were like a dormant hawk. Su Tu was inexplicably startled by a casual glance at them.
It was as if she was socializing indiscriminately and was caught in the act, and she didn't even know what she was feeling guilty about.
She suppressed her panic, took two steps forward, and opened the other half of the double glass doors: "...Please come in first."
A group of people gathered at the door, making the already narrow passage even more crowded.
Shi Shulue bowed slightly and walked into the room using the space she had vacated. The damp air that hit his face had a cooling effect, which made the already anxious man stiffen.
Su Tu frowned, gathered his composure, and was about to lead everyone to the conference room when Yang Hao's voice, unwilling to be outdone, came from behind him again: "Then I'll order by the number of people?"
He asked again, emphasizing, "Including the guests' portion?"
She paused: "..."
She felt the people beside her stop as well. After a moment, she turned around and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, her eyes slowly looking from inside to outside: "How many people are there in your company?"
"32, what?"
Yang Hao didn't know why he was asking this, but he still put on an expression that showed he wasn't afraid of being asked about his history, and said confidently, "Although it's not too big, it's definitely not a small company with unknown origins."
Shi Shu said nothing more.
After getting the answer, he made a phone call and when the call was connected, he ordered: "40 servings of Wilson's afternoon tea, delivered to 2612 Xingyao Building within one hour."
The words fell.
The few people who were once silent as a mouse gasped!
Yang Hao's phone interface, which he repeatedly flickered on, remained fixed on a dessert shop where the average customer paid 30 yuan per person. He had just been wearing the arrogant look of a wealthy tycoon, but now he felt as bewildered as if he had been punched by his opponent.
-Wilson?
-Which five-star hotel is on the central commercial street?
-Isn't there a price for it?
Before he could react, the cold gaze before him drew a line of indifference, a watershed that could separate yin and yang, hanging majestically in the air, yet ignoring everything.
"Next time you invite me, please follow this standard."
-
The temperature in the conference room was just right and the layout was simple. A computer, drawings and two cups of warm water were placed on the long table. Everything was ready, but Su Tu was still a little out of shape.
He looked through the glass partition, tilted his head towards the outside, and silently signaled: Just two people can come in.
They were clearly partying in the group yesterday, and everyone was dressed up today, swearing they would make this "fan meeting" bigger and stronger, but now they were all glued to their workstations, shaking their heads violently like rattles in unison.
Tao Qingqing: No, no, I’m scared…
Yuejia: I think I haven’t finished drawing yet…
Zhao Xuan: I am already satisfied just being able to worship through the glass!
Chen Weizhou: Master, believe in yourself, you can do it!
Su Tu always thought that he subconsciously wanted to escape every time he met him because his psychological quality was too poor. It was not until now that he realized that this was actually human nature?
She withdrew her gaze tearfully, and because of the almost face-to-face distance, she became a little stiff: "That..."
"I'll transfer the money to you later."
The tone was not firm.
Although it was just an afternoon tea, it was definitely not a small amount of money. Given her current financial situation, even if she could afford it, it would still be an unexpected disaster.
Shi Shu sat beside her, facing the LCD screen. The moisture on his body was kept cool in the air-conditioned room, and his voice became a little lower. "Want to help him pay?"
His dark gaze seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, scrutinizing her so hard that even breathing became difficult. "...No."
"But no matter what, I shouldn't let you spend any money."
Yang Hao was right about one thing.
He was indeed a visiting guest, so how could she let the guest treat her?
Shi Shu looked at her silently for a moment, then calmly retorted, "I'm Party A."
“It should be.”
Su Tu paused: "..."
It’s like receiving a completely new understanding.
Because in a cooperative relationship, it is basically Party B who is the one who is attentive and flattering, while Party A is mostly in a superior position.
She hadn't delved into the logic behind this, but now these brief words had her doubts:
He is the client and spends money to buy her design, which essentially means she is working for him. As the "boss", it seems reasonable for him to reward his "employees"?
Su Tu blinked, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Shi Shu didn't seem to want to continue this meaningless topic. He reached out and pulled the blueprint over and got straight to the point: "Let's look at the plan."
"…OK!"
Realizing that he had wasted his time, Su Tu quickly regained his composure, reached out and clicked the mouse, relighting his laptop. After projecting the PPT onto the screen, he held up a laser pointer and said, "The electronic version of the plan on the screen is the same as the paper version in front of you."
Shi Shu nodded, motioning her to continue.
It seems that he values time and doesn't want to talk too much nonsense.
Su Tu paused for a moment, then quickly discarded the unnecessary process and directly pulled down the PPT to the floor plan: "Then let's look at Plan 1 first. This draft is based on the functional requirements you mentioned before..."
The laser pointer first falls on the entrance, then simulates the human movement line, bypasses the entrance hall, and comes to the extremely spacious living room.
The picture only shows a set of sofas of equal proportions, and modular embellishments in the details, aiming to create a sense of simplicity and transparency that leaves plenty of room for maneuver no matter how the owner "messes around".
After the living room, at the deepest point on the southeast side, is the only master bedroom suite in the entire house.
The double doors open to an ensuite study with a small ice bar in the corner.
After passing through the partition, there is a complete set of two-meter-long bed, sofa at the end of the bed, and projection screen wall. There is a secret door on each side of the head of the bed. When pushed open, there are separate sets of clothes and hats for men and women.
At the end of the cloakroom, there is a walk-in bathroom which is almost empty.
The 180-degree double-sided floor-to-ceiling lighting, the 2.4m double-basin washbasin, the double bathtub by the window, the additional dressing area and the large dressing mirror all reveal a certain implicit fascination and reverie.
In addition, the layout of the entire house is mainly divided by movement and stillness, light and dark.
For example, spaces that require quiet, such as bedrooms and study rooms, are arranged inside the house; while relatively open spaces such as living rooms and bars are arranged on the outside near the entrance.
For example, studios and greenhouses that have high lighting requirements will be located along the windows; while storage rooms and tool rooms that have no lighting requirements are mostly located far from the windows.
After everything was laid out rationally, two lines of human movement appeared on the screen one after another.
The red solid line simulates the main pedestrian movement line. For example, after the owner enters the door, he will first go to the living room and then return to the bedroom.
The blue dotted line simulates a pedestrian branch line. For example, the owner was originally sitting in the living room, and then suddenly stood up and wanted to go to the balcony to enjoy the scenery.
——Clear and bright, these evenly distributed spaces are connected together naturally and smoothly.
Su Tu gave him the most concise overview possible, and after giving him some time to understand, he continued, "Actually, this draft plan has already fully met your needs, and even has a lot to spare. It should be very comfortable to live in."
Then he clicked the mouse again, and after the page jumped, he changed the subject: "But I recommend option 2 more."
Admittedly, as an entrepreneur, Su Tu is quite lacking in business, but when it comes to design itself, he does not lose his confidence.
When talking about his profession, he showed none of his usual "weakness" and became calm and composed.
Because she was confident enough in her plan, from an outsider's perspective, she seemed professional and decisive.
The line of sight described here is offset from the drawing.
With a gesture of complete trust, I listened attentively: “Yes.”
Su Tu was not in a hurry to introduce himself.
Instead, he chose to explain his ideas for the second draft before that: "I remember that when I first asked you about your design requirements, your answer was: design it to look like a home."
"From what I understand, this house should be your place of long-term residence in the future, so it needs to meet more than just the needs of one person."
"In that case, perhaps it should be defined as a luxury studio apartment rather than a home."
"and……"
She paused, trying not to sound offensive. "If she truly wanted to live with you, she probably wouldn't want this 'home' to be completely devoid of your presence."
Shi Shu's eyes moved slightly.
I couldn't help but think of her expression a few days ago when she promised that "she would definitely agree", which was as serious as it was now.
Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Su Tu continued, "So this draft plan will be more focused on family needs in terms of functionality."
"But the overall layout is actually similar. It's just been adjusted based on Plan 1, without sacrificing any necessary functional space."
"For example, in the existing gym, we set up both an equipment area and a physical therapy area; added a reading area in the master bedroom; and set up a home theater by the far window..."
Hear this.
Shi Shu's dark gaze finally paused for a moment, and with a hint of astonishment, it fixed on her.
Su Tu didn't think much about it.
Because digging deep into the client's real needs is part of the design work.
She had looked up information and knew that swimmers needed to have physical therapy in their daily training, and the only hobbies he mentioned in the interview were running and movies.
As for reading, he was accidentally photographed in this way, and combined with his hidden academic genius, he was able to master it easily.
She manipulated the laser pointer and continued to look at the screen. "Besides the functional area, the suites have also increased from one to three."
"The main consideration is that such a large house will be difficult to renovate later, so we try to do everything we can in the early stages."
"What I'm thinking is, since this house is positioned as a wedding home, shouldn't we also consider having one or two children's rooms? Even if they aren't used right now, they can be defined as second bedrooms and guest rooms."
"That way, if there's any friction between you later and you need to calm down, at least one of you will have a place to stay for the night..."
implied meaning.
If you have an argument one day and are kicked out of the master bedroom, you won’t have to sleep on the floor in the living room.
As she spoke, a corresponding image emerged in her mind, contrasting with his domineering image outside...
cough.
She cleared her throat, suppressed her smile, and turned back: "I'll renovate it partially after I have a child..."
Seeing something, he was suddenly stunned: "Are you... hot?"
I don't want there to be any trace of him in the house.
All in one step.
Wedding room.
Children's room.
Occasionally there is some friction...
She knew nothing and just kept on talking nonsense one after another. Shi Shu was unreasonably distracted by her words, but before he could figure out the meaning, he was suddenly interrupted again.
He couldn't help but react a little too slowly, his voice tense: "...Hmm?"
"you--"
Su Tu pointed at his neck, but accidentally hit his Adam's apple, which was sharp and smooth, very beautiful. "Neck, very red."
Shi Shu: “…”
Su Tu blinked.
His gaze was unaware as the bright red on his neck spread quietly to his ears. He spoke slowly in a daze, "Do you want me to turn down the air conditioner a bit?"
Naked eyes.
It sticks blatantly to his skin texture.
Even though he was already used to the attention of millions of people, Shi Shu still couldn't help but sigh in confusion: "...No need."
When he spoke, his jaw moved, causing his earlobes to become even redder, like blooming poppies.
On a tough and cold face.
Su Tu stared at it unconsciously for a while before gradually realizing that this behavior could be defined as...shyness?
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she looked into his seemingly calm black eyes, she was immediately moved by the extreme contrast, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly, and she laughed softly.
From this perspective, Shi Shu looked down at a pair of lively and interesting eyes, which were different from the usual coldness. They were a bit cunning and not too upright.
This is the look that only appears occasionally when she is carrying someone on her back.
"cough……"
In the end, considering the occasion, Su Tu pursed his lips and tried to make amends for his gaffe: "Actually, getting married and having children is a very common and everyday topic."
"Since you already have this idea, you might as well speak up and communicate in advance to avoid future troubles, right?"
implied meaning.
Be bold, it's nothing to be shy about.
Although her words sounded high-sounding, Shi Shu could clearly sense the exploration hidden in her eyes. The desire to see something different from him was about to burst out.
"Yeah."
He nodded, and gently moved the corners of his mouth, as she wished: "Then let's finalize this draft."
Su Tu was stunned again: "...W-what?"
Shi Shu looked at her and repeated patiently, "I agree with your idea, so let's finalize this draft."
“…”
Su Tu still didn't recover: "Just book it right away?"
"Don't you need to make some adjustments?"
Although she was confident in her plan, she obviously did not expect it to go so smoothly!
One draft passed?!
"Um."
Shi Shu raised his eyes slightly and made the final decision: "I believe in your expertise."
