Chapter 195: Going to Jinshi to measure Weng Nuan's workaholic...
Chapter 195
Lin Mujin called Qin Zheng. She was afraid that it was too early and he hadn't returned home, but she couldn't call too late in case he had already had dinner.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get through.
I guess he hasn't gone home yet, but that's normal. The construction site is very busy right now, and as the boss, he must have to keep an eye on it, so naturally he can't go home on time like before.
Lin Mujin felt a little regretful that she wouldn't be able to see her boyfriend this time, but fortunately he would be here again soon.
The driver took the three of them directly to a newly built hotel. The accommodation price was quite reasonable, 15 yuan for a double room and 12 yuan for an ordinary single room, but meals were not included.
The three of them put their luggage away, locked the door and went out to eat.
It’s still that Hakka restaurant.
Because it is cheap and unique, I can’t get enough of it after eating it several times.
Weng Nuan fell in love with it the first time she ate it, and said that the decoration was very Hakka-style. She took out a blank notebook to take notes.
Lin Mujin really liked her attitude of always learning and enriching herself, and praised her a lot.
After dinner, the three of them went back to the hotel immediately without going anywhere. It’s not very safe here recently.
The three of them returned to Hong Kong early the next morning.
I took a taxi from Luohu Station directly to the Immigration Office, and it took more than an hour to apply for a three-year work visa.
This means that Weng Nuan can work in Hong Kong for three years, and can renew her contract as long as her boss Lin Mujin agrees.
"Weng Nuan, I'll take you back to the rental house first. Let's settle down before going to Jinshi." Lin Mujin arranged.
Weng Nuan nodded and said "Okay".
Back at the rented building, Lin Mujin arranged an apartment for her on the first floor, with one bedroom and one living room, which was very spacious for one person.
Now Li Xiuying and Luo Shinai have also moved down.
"You are the only one living in this room. I won't arrange for anyone else to live in it. Yuanyuan can also stay here when she comes over in the future."
Lin Mujin admitted that she still had some preference for Weng Nuan.
She then brought over the new bedding she had packed. "They were all recently made. You can put on another sheet. Think about what other daily necessities you need later. I'll take you shopping this afternoon."
Weng Nuan said, "I want to go to Jinshi this afternoon. I don't need anything."
Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Mujin said, "Then I'll take you to the bathroom and teach you how to use the gas water heater. Hong Kong is very hot, and you have to take a shower every day, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well. You can wash up now."
After Lin Mujin finished giving the instructions, she went upstairs to start cooking.
It wasn’t anything complicated, just four dishes and a soup, but the portions were huge.
At the dinner table, Lin Mujin introduced Weng Nuan and Lin Muli to each other, but because of the language barrier, the two sides did not communicate much.
After dinner, Lin Mujin asked Lin Muli to clean up the dishes. She and her cousin Lin took Weng Nuan to the Central Star Building by bus.
"These two floors are the future of Jinshi."
Weng Nuan took out a ruler from her bag and said, "Let me measure the data."
Cousin Lin came forward to help.
Lin Mujin didn't expect her to be so anxious, and thought that she had to read the whole thing.
"Weng Nuan, the facade is actually very important. It's also people's first impression of Jinshi. I have an idea, which is to make a huge... iconic item, like a fortune cat."
Lin Mujin was afraid that she couldn't explain herself clearly, so she took Weng Nuan's paper and pen and started drawing.
A clever and adorable maneki neko (Lucky Cat) comes to life on the paper. "It can be made two meters tall, to be eye-catching. Placing it at the door not only has good meaning but also leaves a lasting impression on guests. When they think of where to dine, they'll think of a large maneki neko (Lucky Cat). Jinshi, which makes delicious food, doesn't necessarily have to have a lucky cat; a panda would also work. Our Jinshi decor is primarily bamboo, so a panda might be a better match."
Lin Mujin lowered her head and drew a cute simple picture of a panda.
Weng Nuan looked at the simple diagram and shook her head. "Ms. Lin, let me be frank. Your idea is good, but it doesn't fit with the overall design of Jinshi. Here are some doorway drawings I drew. This one uses a clearly layered design. In the foreground is a pair of Chinese-style pillars with auspicious animal carvings, and in the background is an antique Chinese-style window lattice. This creates a sense of space where the near is larger and the far is smaller, the near is real and the far is virtual, in line with the "three distances" principle in traditional Chinese painting. Look at this one, it uses an embracing composition. The main subject is a uniquely shaped Chinese pavilion, surrounded by green plants, forming an embracing posture. This layout embodies the concept of "harmony between man and nature" in Chinese design..."
Weng Nuan described four pictures in one breath, "If Ms. Lin really likes pandas, she can open a panda-themed restaurant when she opens her next store."
Lin Mujin's eyes widened. Weng Nuan actually knew about theme restaurants. Could she have traveled through time as well? Should she ask about "Odd changes, even remains constant"? "What theme restaurant?" She played dumb first, trying to figure out what was going on.
Weng Nuan said, "National Tsing Hua University has bought a lot of magazines from abroad. I also saw in one of them that the Black Cat nightclub in Paris in 1884 was the first attempt at a theme restaurant. Later, some restaurants and Hollywood restaurants appeared in the United States, and since then, there have been more and more theme restaurants."
Lin Mujin felt that she was quite ignorant. It turned out that theme restaurants had existed so long ago. She felt a little regretful that Weng Nuan was not wearing it. "Then when I open my next restaurant, I will definitely make it a panda-themed restaurant."
Because she loves pandas so much.
Lin Mujin pointed to the second and fourth door designs and said, "I'd like to combine the two. I really like this Peking Opera mask. Can it be incorporated into the second design?"
Weng Nuan nodded, "Sure, I'll make a note and produce the map tonight."
Lin Mujin was very satisfied, it was so efficient.
I admire them in my heart. Professionals are different.
The three of them entered the house. This time, Weng Nuan did not rush to measure. He checked every place carefully, including the bathroom, kitchen, windows, etc.
Weng Nuan started measuring the data again. Lin Mujin said to her cousin Lin, "Brother, please help me. I'm going out to buy some daily necessities for Weng Nuan."
She only brought a travel bag and definitely didn't bring all the daily necessities.
It would be a waste of time to ask her to buy it, and it would be even more inappropriate to ask cousin Lin to buy feminine products, so she had to do it.
Cousin Lin was a little embarrassed. "I don't speak Mandarin. How can we communicate?"
Lin Mujin said in Mandarin, "Weng Nuan, I have to go out for something. Let my brother help you measure the data. If there is any communication problem, you can communicate in writing."
There are always more solutions than problems.
Weng Nuan said, "I can do it myself, no need to trouble Mr. Lin."
Lin Mujin naturally wouldn't agree to that. "Let him help. If you have any questions, just write him a note. I'll finish my work as soon as possible and come back."
He turned around and told his cousin Lin, "Brother, if it's too late and I'm not back yet, take Weng Nuan home. You can't finish the work in one day."
