After closing her eyes and repeating to herself several times, "He is Party A, not the ex-boyfriend," Xia Xi became much calmer and her attitude became as friendly as that of Taobao customer service.
Xia Xi: "Mr. Xu, if you have any ideas, you can tell me on WeChat. If you find typing inconvenient, a voice call will also work."
I guess he was shocked by her words, and didn't send a single word for a long time.
Don't you want to talk anymore? Okay.
Xia Xi was about to close the WeChat chat window when a video call suddenly came in. Xia Xi's hand holding the mouse trembled. She calmed down and clicked "Reject".
She was talking about a voice call, not a video call. Doesn't Xu Yanfeng know how to read?
Xu Yanfeng: “?”
Xu Yanfeng: "Why don't you answer?"
Xia Xi still maintained her respect for Party A: "Sorry, it's not convenient to video chat now."
It's not inconvenient, the real reason is that she doesn't want to face Xu Yanfeng. They can clearly make it clear over the voice call, there is no need to face each other.
Xu Yanfeng settled for the next best thing and made a voice call instead.
Xia Xi took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, pressing the connect button. His tone was quite formal, without any personal feelings mixed in. "Mr. Xu, if you have any additional ideas, please tell me."
Xu Yanfeng: “…”
He thought he was talking to AI. Listening to the mechanical voice, AI was more emotional than this woman.
No one spoke for a long while. Xia Xi checked the network and found it was fully connected. "Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu, are you there?"
Everyone calls him "Mr. Xu", and Mr. Xu said that hearing it so much makes his stomach hurt.
"Xia Xi, you're really interesting. There's no one else here, so don't you feel silly pretending to be unfamiliar? Can you be a little more frank? Your previous thick skin has all been thrown to the dogs, right?"
As soon as Xu Yanfeng opened his mouth, he mercilessly tore off Xia Xi's disguise mask, leaving her no chance of survival.
Xia Xi, who has an extroverted personality, was made to blush by what he said. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she did not agree to the video call, otherwise she would have nowhere to hide.
Xu Yanfeng knows how to embarrass people.
Xia Xi now has a strong premonition that this project will not go smoothly.
How could a project that was full of calculations from the beginning go as she expected?
Xia Xi rested her elbows on the table, her palms supporting her forehead, and repeatedly consoled herself, thinking it was just a difficult client. She had encountered all sorts of unusual clients before. Compared to those unusual ones, Xu Yanfeng's situation was nothing.
She also encountered people who would start making dirty jokes before they could even start a serious conversation...
Xu Yanfeng: "Xia Xi, have you been poisoned and rendered mute?"
Hearing this, Xia Xi couldn't help laughing. Being criticized was really nothing. It was much more pleasant than being told dirty jokes, especially since the person had a nice voice.
She was laughing, but Xu Yanfeng was getting a little irritated: "Are you listening? What do you mean by not saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?"
"I'm listening." Xia Xi coughed softly. "Let me explain. I'm not pretending to be unfamiliar. I made it very clear to you last time in the villa. This is my job, and I will complete it diligently. I hope that during the work period, we can maintain the relationship of Party A and Party B. Apart from this, there is nothing else between us. Can you not talk about things other than work?"
"OK, Party A and Party B, right?" Xu Yanfeng followed her lead and laid out Party A's requirements. "Last time, it seems we only discussed interior renovation ideas for the villa. I also have some opinions about the front yard. I asked to meet in person to discuss it in detail, but you refused. Is this your work attitude?"
Xia Xi: “…”
Why are we back to square one again? I have to see this face, right?
Xia Xi wouldn't give in easily. She gritted her teeth and showed her full patience. "Look, I've already completed the floor plan for the villa. All you need to do is tell me where you'd like to add what facilities in the front yard, and I'll mark them there."
Xu Yanfeng himself is from the Department of Architecture, doesn't he understand?!
Seeing that she was unwavering, Xu Yanfeng let it go and honestly told her his thoughts. Xia Xi pulled out a pencil from the pen holder and made a rough mark on the drawing before revising it in detail.
After finishing the chat, Xia Xi threw the pencil back and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait." Xu Yanfeng's tone sounded a little anxious, fearing that the call would be hung up if he was a second late.
However, when he called her, he didn't know what to say.
Xia Xi started to sort out the drawings on the table and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Yanfeng was silent. Just then, someone knocked on Xia Xi's door. She said "wait a moment" to the person on the phone and went to open the door. It was Lu Mingji outside. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Mingji glanced inside: "Are you busy?"
"It's almost over."
"Then I'll go in and wait. I have something to talk to you about."
Xia Xi nodded, stepped aside to let him in, pointed to the sofa, and motioned for him to sit down. She returned to her desk and sat down. The voicemail was still connected, so she asked again, "Anything else you want to add?"
"Not yet." Xu Yanfeng said slowly, "You don't need to show me the floor plan or anything like that. Wait until you come up with the final renderings. Don't worry, take your time."
He had seen through her. It was harder than climbing to the sky to see her. No matter what tricks he used, she could always turn them around with little effort and no one could find fault with her.
He has plenty of time and can wait for six years, so these few days won't matter.
Once the renderings are out, Xia Xi will take the initiative to meet him - the designer needs to show the client her design results and provide explanations.
