Chapter 106 Party A
Although Tao Nanfeng was complaining in his heart, he still introduced the project content meticulously. With just a few simple sentences, Fan Zhicheng quickly understood the current situation.
Fan Zhicheng said softly: "Thank you. Your introduction is both professional and clear."
Tao Nanfeng lowered his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and did not respond to his thanks.
Fan Zhicheng felt like he had hit a wall. Although the other person was generous and polite, she was distant and others could not touch her true heart at all.
This kind of Tao Nanfeng aroused Fan Zhicheng's interest. Because of his great looks, he was always the one who ignored and rejected others, and no one would really give him the cold shoulder. Even the field manager who had been persecuting him was very attentive and enthusiastic in private.
Fan Zhicheng sat up straight and stopped talking to Tao Nanfeng. He listened carefully to the conversation between Fan Yajun, Tao Shouxin and others. He took out his sketchbook as usual and started sketching something on the paper with a pencil in his right hand.
Tao Nanfeng saw out of the corner of his eye that he drew a person with a few strokes, drew a dialog box next to it, and wrote key words in it.
——The meeting minutes were actually taken in the form of comic strips.
I have to say that Fan Zhicheng is really a talented person.
Tao Nanfeng snorted inwardly, so what if he is talented? If one has poor moral character, all others will be in vain.
Li Shunmei was kind to him, but he was able to sneak away without informing his benefactor after being admitted to graduate school, and avoided her when she came to his house. Even though he said he wanted to draw a line between himself and his shameful past, Tao Nanfeng still couldn't understand.
At least, he should give an explanation to Li Shunmei.
If you don't love her, then don't accept her care, protection and concern.
Even without love, at least there is a sense of responsibility. Even though they didn't get married or sleep together, the villagers and the farm treated them as a couple. Li Shunmei's parents and brother felt proud that their daughter married such a beautiful educated youth, and they took great care of Fan Zhicheng.
The whole family respects and loves Fan Zhicheng.
But Fan Zhicheng left without saying goodbye, as if all this was just a passing cloud. If one person treats him badly, he will bear a grudge and try to escape; if a group of people treat him well, he will not take it to heart at all.
To put it nicely, this man is cold-hearted; to put it bluntly, he is an ungrateful person.
"Let's go! Time is running out, let's go to the towel factory now to take a look and talk while walking." Fan Yajun stood up, and everyone in the meeting room followed.
The group got in the car sent by the design institute and headed for the Jiangcheng Towel Factory in Jiangbei.
Tao Nanfeng has a deep understanding of the poor conditions of the towel factory's staff dormitories.
Xiao Aiyun's eldest sister Xiao Aixue married a worker in the factory, but she was not allocated a dormitory, so she had to temporarily live in her mother's old dormitory. The family of seven squeezed into the old dormitory building.
Wang Lianghai from Yuanhou Village sold his house because his eldest son Wang Gongsong, who worked in a towel factory, was getting married and the company had no house, so it would cost 200 yuan to buy a staff house privately.
We should indeed build a new dormitory building. Otherwise, where will so many young girls and boys live after they get married? The reason why it was taken seriously by the city and designated as a demonstration project this time was because the factory workers jointly wrote a letter and made a noise in front of the city government.
On the way, Fan Yajun said: "It is said that crying children get milk. This time, when the workers of the towel factory made a fuss, the city government took it very seriously after understanding the situation. It ordered the infrastructure department of the towel factory to build five staff dormitories within half a year. The design institute fully cooperated and specially approved the supply of cement, steel bars, bricks and sand.
There is one thing. The land acquired by the municipal government is located between the towel factory and Tongdeli. Tongdeli is a group of old buildings dating back hundreds of years with many old residents. This construction will definitely cause interference to the surrounding buildings. This also puts higher demands on our design. ”
When Tao Nanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but add, "Tongdeli?"
Fan Yajun turned her head and looked at her: "Do you know this place?"
Tao Nanfeng did not dare to boast, and said modestly: "I have to complete the sketching homework assigned by my father during the summer vacation. I have been wandering around Tongdeli and have some understanding of Lifen, a unique building complex in Jiangcheng."
Fan Yajun laughed: "Could it be that Professor Tao has foresight and sent you to investigate the situation first?"
Everyone in the car started laughing, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Fan Zhicheng did not laugh. He finally understood why Tao Shouxin suddenly asked him to deal with Li Shunmei's matter. It turned out that Tao Nanfeng was wandering around Tongdeli and ran into Li Shunmei.
Tao Nanfeng is really nosy! Fan Zhicheng cursed her silently in his heart.
Huang Jiafa interrupted at this time: "Fan Zhicheng is from Jiangbei. He seems to live nearby?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Fan Zhicheng had to respond: "Yes, I live in Building 13 of Tongdeli."
Fan Yajun raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "That's the old dormitory building of Jiangcheng Art Publishing House. Your father is..."
After a conversation, they learned that Fan Zhicheng's father was a comic strip artist. Engineer Li from the design institute suddenly realized, "No wonder you are so good at line drawing figures. It turns out you learned it in elementary school."
When they got off the bus at the towel factory, Tao Shouxin pulled his daughter aside and told her, "Watch more, remember more, and talk less."
Tao Nanfeng smiled shyly: "Okay."
She was not a talkative person originally, but when she led everyone to build houses on the farm, she got used to giving orders. After becoming the head of the infrastructure department, she also got used to leading infrastructure projects and everyone revolved around her.
Now that he has changed his role and become the lowest level in the team, Tao Nanfeng couldn't adapt for a while.
It was lunchtime when we arrived at the towel factory, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of food.
When the seven people from the design institute arrived, the people from the infrastructure department wanted to treat everyone to a meal, but Fan Yajun refused: "We only talk about work, not meals. Have you prepared the design brief we asked for last time? Give it to me. I will take the two professors to walk around the site and familiarize them with the environment."
Liu, the chief of the infrastructure department, scratched his head and said, "Just look at the site. It's just that the design brief...is not ready yet."
Fan Yajun clearly expressed her dissatisfaction: "The city and the factory have been urging our design institute, but you haven't even prepared a design brief. We don't even know the specific design requirements, so how can we design!"
Section Chief Liu spread his hands and said, "You know the situation in our towel factory. There are few houses and many employees. As long as it is a house, they will like it even if you make it like a school dormitory. There is no need to make any requirements. Your design institute is experienced. Anyway, it is a staff dormitory. You can design it however you want. Why do you need a design brief~"
Most of the comrades in the factory's infrastructure department come from the grassroots, have low educational levels, are not familiar with these written standard processes, and it is normal that they cannot write a design task book.
Fan Yajun was helpless and said to Chief Liu: "You have to write down a design requirement at random, right? How big the area is, how big the scale is, how many people will use it, how many floors... Otherwise, we are in the dark, how can we design it?"
Section Chief Liu had a rough look and a casual attitude. He laughed and said, "We have a total of 1,120 employees in our towel factory, but only 230 of them have been allocated dormitories. The rest live in collective dormitories with six people in each room.
Now the city has allocated funds and land to build staff dormitories, which is a great thing and all the employees in the factory are looking forward to it. If you ask me, you should just look at how much can be done with that piece of land, do as much as you can, and make full use of the land within the scope allowed by the plan. ”
He thought for a moment and added, "Of course, it has to be within the cost allowed by the city."
Well, the client’s request may seem simple, but it poses a big challenge to the design institute.
Make full use of the land and build as many houses as possible to meet the needs of more than 800 employees who currently have no housing. More than 800! What a joke.
Fan Yajun knew that communicating with Section Chief Liu would not yield any results, so she had no choice but to say to Tao Shouxin and Huang Jiafa: "Professors, shall we go and take a look at the scene?"
She looked intelligent, but she walked quite fast, with a touch of the agility that is unique to working women.
Tao Nanfeng followed her, as if he saw his own future.
Employees who were walking out of the cafeteria holding rectangular aluminum lunch boxes happened to meet this group of people. When they saw Section Chief Liu, who was leading the team, they all gathered around him.
Someone asked: "Section Chief Liu, are these people sent by the city to help us build the staff dormitory?"
Section Chief Liu introduced proudly: "These are senior engineers from the Architectural Design Institute and professors from Jiangcheng University of Architecture. They are here to help us design the dormitory building. If you have any requirements, just tell them..."
After hearing Chief Liu's introduction, the employees became excited all of a sudden.
"Ah, they are all high-level intellectuals, they must know more than us."
"We went all out to make trouble in the city this time, and we didn't expect the effect to be so good. Hurry up and make your demands!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The section chief told us to make our request, so let's do it now."
After everyone finished talking loudly, they all rushed forward, wishing they could get in front of Fan Yajun and the others.
“We want to live in a house with a toilet and kitchen!”
"We also want to have a big living room like the leaders. This way, when guests come to our house, they don't have to squeeze into the bedroom. The bed is almost broken by relatives sitting on it."
"Yes, yes. I heard that two-bedroom and one-living-room apartments are popular in the city now. We want one too."
“…”
Fan Yajun's head hurt from the noise, and she raised her hands and shouted, "Comrades, stop arguing! I can't hear you clearly with all your words going on at the same time."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tao Nanfeng take out a small notebook and quickly write something down in it, obviously wanting to seriously collect the opinions of the residents.
Fan Yajun shook her head and continued, "In this way, everyone can report these requirements to the Infrastructure Department, and Chief Liu will sort them out and hand them over to the Design Institute. We will definitely take everyone's opinions into full consideration and build a house that everyone will be satisfied with."
In one sentence, everyone's attention turned to Section Chief Liu.
After finally breaking out of the encirclement, Fan Yajun tidied up her appearance and sighed, "Oh, it's really a headache to deal with such a client. When you ask him about his requirements, he says he doesn't have any requirements and anything is fine. But when you start designing, he comes up with countless ideas."
Huang Jiafa nodded: "So, the design brief is very important. At least let them clearly state the conditions and requirements in black and white so that communication can be facilitated when the time comes."
Fan Zhicheng secretly kept these in mind.
Tao Nanfeng has extensive experience in infrastructure construction and she will conduct personal research before doing architectural design on the farm. Before the construction of the farm primary school began, she took people from the infrastructure department to communicate with the primary school students, fully listened to the users' opinions, and then designed it from a professional perspective.
The design institute's operating procedures seem to be different from what she did before? She was organizing the opinions she had just heard in her notebook while thinking in her mind.
Fan Yajun just noticed that Tao Nanfeng was different from the others. This pretty girl accepted the housing request from the towel factory employees very naturally and did not look embarrassed at all. Not only did he listen carefully, he also took notes attentively, and his attitude was very positive.
Fan Yajun asked her: "What are you taking note of? What have you learned?"
Tao Nanfeng didn't expect her to ask him. Looking at his father, Tao Shouxin nodded. Tao Nanfeng handed the notebook to Fan Yajun and reported carefully.
"It's just recording some of the requirements raised by the employees. The circle on the left records the characteristics of the employees, such as gender, age, and type of work. The underlined part on the right is their demands. The size of the area, the allocation ratio, the number of rooms, the apartment design, etc.
As for the gains...the housing needs of the towel factory employees can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is unmarried men and women, who hope to build more single dormitories and no longer live in the previous six-person rooms, and preferably double rooms; the second category is married families without children, who hope to build suites with toilets and kitchens, preferably with a larger area; the third category is employee families with children, who hope to build more bedrooms and reasonable functional zoning. ”
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look. Tao Nanfeng's words fully reflect her professional qualities.
"Great, Tao Nanfeng, you are worthy of being a person who won the national silver medal for design work. The summary is perfect!" Fan Yajun smiled and returned the notebook to her, then looked at Fan Zhicheng who had been thinking: "What do you think?"
Fan Zhicheng was frightened by the enthusiasm of the employees just now. When the workers surrounded him, he took a few steps back and deliberately kept his distance.
He knows his own foundation. He did not finish high school and had a weak foundation of knowledge. The reason why he was chosen by professors was simply because of his high level of hand-drawing skills and his strong interest in architectural art.
But compared with Tao Nanfeng, his professional level is far inferior.
Hearing Fan Yajun's question, Fan Zhicheng answered evasively: "Different people have different requirements for housing. We designers only have one pair of hands, and it is difficult to meet everyone's requirements. I personally think that Mr. Fan's idea of asking Section Chief Liu to summarize the opinions just now is very good, so that our designers can meet the needs of residents more accurately."
Fan Yajun looked at him deeply. She has no objection to young people's ambitions, and is willing to give this incredibly beautiful young man more opportunities.
"Graduate students really have different perspectives. Both professors' students are excellent. Tao Nanfeng is careful and approachable, while Fan Zhicheng has clear goals. If you two can work together, you will definitely be able to produce a perfect design work."
Hearing Fan Yajun's balanced evaluation, Tao Nanfeng remained silent, pursed his lips, and his eyes dimmed.
Arriving at the scene, everyone was surveying the area.
Tao Shouxin, Huang Jiafa and Fan Yajun walked along the border, talking as they walked.
Fan Zhicheng quickly drew an overview of the terrain in his sketchbook, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at Tao Nanfeng, as if saying: Do you want to cooperate?
Tao Nanfeng lowered his head and wrote and drew on the notebook, ignoring the look from Fan Zhicheng.
How can a designer who is unwilling to approach the masses and listen to the voices of users create truly good works?
Yes, she was unwilling to cooperate with him.
