Deep courtyard

Huang Yuan felt that he still had to fight for it, so he carefully drove the "Electric Light Blue" that already had a new owner to the 4S shop, and after explaining that the whole car and the interior needed to be cleaned, he rushed back to the office non-stop, and found own supervisor.

Before he could open his mouth, the leader saw him, and immediately put on a rare smile on his face: "Xiao Huang is back, Mr. Zhang just called me and said that Mr. Napu is very satisfied with you. From now on, you can concentrate on In charge of Mr. Pu's project, the design will be completed by you independently, feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything, after the start of work, you will help to keep an eye on it."

Does this mean that he promised the other party to let him supervise?Huang Yuan became impatient: "But our team's next bidding will start soon..."

"As I said just now, this is also the first time you have taken on a project independently. It will be of great help to you in the future. You must know how to cherish this opportunity. It is impossible for a newcomer to take charge of a project by himself in the first two years after joining. And, wait If the project is successfully completed, you will get an additional commission from the company and a special bonus from Mr. Pu, isn’t it necessary for your current family situation?” Seeing that he wanted to refuse, the supervisor immediately put on a straight face and beat him. This made Huang Yuan have to compromise.

The supervisor is right, he needs money very much now, and the whole family is now supported by him alone. Even if he saves himself, the medical expenses and treatment expenses of his father, as well as the living and education expenses of his niece Lei Lei, are all indispensable. .Now regretting that I used to just squander and have no savings is meaningless, so I can only immediately return to my position and bury my head in drawing.

The topographical surveying and technical evaluation was agreed two days later. This time, Huang Yuan brought his colleagues to the door. He originally wanted to bring back the clothes that Pujiang changed for him last time, but he didn’t think about how to explain it to his colleagues, so he gave up. Well, Tu Hao probably wouldn't care about this outfit anyway.

When they passed the entrance of the garage, the car had already been sent back, the dazzling blue was shining brightly, and the three colleagues discussed a few words in admiration.Huang Yuan could only say hello to the old man in his heart from a distance.

Going around to the main entrance and ringing the doorbell, it was Pu Jiang himself who opened the door. He was the only one, including the reception and making tea afterwards. In such a big villa, there was no one around, but the whole house was tidy and spotless.It's just that the tea made this time doesn't have the sweet and greasy taste of adding sugar, and it's not the local tea from last time, it's the best Yuqian Longjing.

Pu Jiang was dressed casually, the fancy beach pants were replaced by plain casual shorts, and he was wearing slippers. He didn’t have the arrogance of ordinary nouveau riche. He looked very peaceful, and he spoke elegantly and politely. The W Construction team was a little flattered by his approachability. It was hard to tell that he was a local farmer who was rumored outside, but after hearing his need for transformation, everyone was so shocked that they forgot to flatter him. Only Huang Yuan stood aside numbly. Fortunately, the work ended quickly and smoothly.

Pu Jiang personally sent the people to the gate, shook hands and said goodbye one by one, and finally said to Huang Yuan, who had been trying to reduce the sense of existence and had long wanted to escape: "Mr. Huang, if you have time later, I would like to discuss the design details with you. "

Huang Yuan hesitated to answer, and wanted to excuse that there would be arrangements later, but was poked on the back by a colleague behind him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Of course, if Mr. Pu has any requests, please feel free to ask."

Satisfied, Pu Jiang ushered him in again, and brought him to the small meeting room next to the restaurant last time. He turned around and cleaned up the teacups in the main living room in front, and made another cup for Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan didn't know how to start the conversation, so he took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.Sweetened local tea, what the hell is going on with this guy?Is it to take care of his taste or is he reluctant to entertain him with good tea?

"Does Mr. Huang have any suggestions for my garden?" Pu Jiang sat across from Huang Yuan after finishing his work, and asked.

"We have already understood Mr. Pu's needs, and we will try our best to live up to your expectations." Huang Yuan put down his teacup and replied seriously.

But Pu Jiang shook his head: "What I want to hear is your own opinion. Let's put it this way, if this courtyard belonged to your family, how would you like to modify it? Or do you think you can add something?"

——I think it turned out to be very good!No remodeling required at all!It will not be turned into a farmhouse!

"Well... I think we can plant a row of magnolia and osmanthus trees in front of the west wall. They are both representative trees in Shanghai. Magnolia flowers bloom in spring and osmanthus flowers bloom in autumn. When they bloom, the garden is full of fragrance..."

——In fact, it can block the sight of neighbors and at the same time cover up the peculiar smell of "farmhouse".I also broke my heart for the wonderful customers.

Pu Jiang raised his eyebrows and stared at Huang Yuan for a while, making him suspect guiltyly, did he see his real intention in proposing to plant trees, thinking that he was mocking the farmhouse-style courtyard renovation?Little injustice! ! !

"The carved jade is exquisite, and the orchid is fragrant. Magnolia is the city flower of Shanghai, which is of great ornamental value. The flowers are magnificent and fragrant. But in comparison, I prefer the small osmanthus. When the osmanthus is in full bloom, it is full of branches. Light yellow and elegant, falling with the wind. More importantly, osmanthus has more practical value. It can be used to make osmanthus tea, osmanthus wine, smoked osmanthus ebony soup, and osmanthus cake. It has a soft aroma and is refreshing and delicious. It is most suitable for our mountain farmhouse Hospitality. In the Mid-Autumn Festival, sitting under the osmanthus tree, tasting rice wine and steaming crabs, is the most pleasant thing!"

Pu Jiang paused when he said this, the corners of his mouth curled, and he continued: "Also, there is also Siji Gui, which blooms all the year round, and the flowers are fragrant all the year round, just to apologize for the trouble caused to the neighbors by raising fish, raising poultry and growing vegetables, Are you right, Mr. Huang?"

At the beginning, Huang Yuan was still lamenting that this man is quite educated, and his deep and soothing voice is like "A Bite of China", but later he paid attention to practicality, and nodded accordingly. At the end, he broke into a cold sweat in the air-conditioned room.

Pu Jiang smiled playfully. Although this man knew how to hide his emotions better than before, his small thoughts were still written on his face, and it was not difficult to guess at all.Afraid of scaring people away, Pu Jiang smiled kindly: "Mr. Huang's suggestion is very good, I really like sweet-scented osmanthus, so I will trouble you."

Huang Yuan came back to his senses, seeing that Pu Jiang didn't show any teasing or displeasure, wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart, and quickly wrote down in his notebook to find the varieties of Four Seasons Osmanthus that were suitable for consumption.

"Apart from this, does Mr. Huang have any other suggestions for my garden? What else do I need to add?" Pu Jiang waited for him to stop writing, and continued to ask.

"? I think Mr. Pu's needs are already full and just right. I believe that after the completion of the project, it will be a courtyard full of life and people can't help but love life. If more content is added, it may be redundant." Huang Yuan tried his best to speak. It looks beautiful without adding new troubles to himself, because he has a bad feeling that this project is probably more than just building a farmhouse.

"Well, I believe that Mr. Huang's design will definitely satisfy me, but I have thought about it for a few days. The northeast has already undergone a major renovation. If the southwest does not move at all, it seems to be a bit biased, and I am also worried about the southwest. The minimalist western style doesn't match the Chinese pastoral style of the Northeast..."

——It doesn't match at all!You need to think about it for a few days before you realize it! ?Huang Yuan wanted to vomit blood.

"Since the northeast direction is mainly used for practical purposes, the southwest direction, I think, is a place for pure leisure, where people can enjoy it completely. But I don't know much about garden design, so what suggestions does Mr. Huang have for improving the landscape in the southwest ?"

--don't know! ?If you don’t understand, you still dare to run towards the farmhouse without hesitation?

"Or this question, Mr. Huang, which garden style do you like best? Can you share it for my reference."

Of course, Huang Yuan was not so stupid as to directly say that if it wasn't for the support of his family, he actually didn't like garden design at all, and he didn't like any style. Now he must decide according to the actual situation of this Tuhao family, and what suits his ideas best. It is naturally a Chinese-style courtyard, but it obviously conflicts with the architectural style of the real estate here. After a quick consideration, I replied: "I personally think that the Japanese-style courtyard design is good, simple and quiet. Compared with the complicated Chinese-style courtyard, it is more visually It’s more simple and delicate, and it’s more serene.”

"Well, it's more suitable for this building. I just heard that Mr. Huang once studied in England, but I didn't expect to like the Zen-style Japanese garden." Pu Jiang nodded in agreement, and pointed out Huang Yuan's sincere suggestion with a smile.

"Uh... I'm from the East, and Japanese-style gardens inherit the characteristics of Chinese landscapes, so..." Huang Yuan bit his tongue, struggling to explain. At the same time, he remembered that when he was studying landscape design in England, his instructor talked about Japanese-style gardens. In the few classes in the courtyard, I skipped the class, and cramped for the exams, and spent money to ask my classmates to make up for me to barely pass.

Before he finished talking, he heard Pu Jiang say bluntly: "That's all right, let's decide on a Japanese-style garden, and look forward to your design. I hope the swimming pool will remain, and you can play with other things as you like, and there is no limit to the budget."

Huang Yuan raised his head, wishing to slap himself, he really dug a hole for himself to dance, the Japanese style looks fresh and simple, compared with the grand and freehand Chinese style courtyard, it is extremely rigorous, paying special attention to details, even a piece of moss The placement of a piece of stone is very particular. Generally, designers dare not challenge it lightly. If it is really done, it will take a lot of effort to study from the beginning. You must do your homework, otherwise you will definitely smash the signboard of W Building.

Taking a closer look at Mr. Tu Hao, who looked at him with a face of reassurance, Huang Yuan couldn't see that the other party deliberately made things difficult for him, which made him even more uneasy. Yes, but this Mr. Pu's look of anticipation prevented him from uttering a word of refusal or guidance in other directions.

"Is there any difficulty? This part of the design can be billed separately, and the independent bonus is also doubled. The time is not urgent. You can do the northeast project first, and then start the Japanese-style part after completion, so that the transition will be seamless." You can also have a reference, thanks to Mr. Huang."

The corners of Huang Yuan's mouth twitched, it didn't mean to ask if he had any difficulties, it was obviously a waste of money!If the company and the leaders knew that the funder offered to pay for the project separately, they would definitely not let this business go.

Japanese-style gardens are extremely particular about artistic conception, and challenges are opportunities. Although this may be an excellent opportunity to make himself famous, Huang Yuan still has an objective understanding of his current ability level, and he feels that Pu Jiang proposed this The request, even if it is not malicious, will not be as simple as it seems on the surface, making him involuntarily defensive.

"Then I'll go back and report to Mr. Zhang. He is the best Japanese-style garden designer in our company. He has had several successful cases in China..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Pu Jiang's face darken: "I remember when we met last time, I said that I don't like the service of changing people."

"..." Huang Yuan was a little speechless, he didn't like the service of changing people, and he used to let it go when he was young and frivolous, but now it was said twice by this Pu Jiang.Especially this time, he obviously wanted to recommend a better and more suitable designer to him with good intentions.

After thinking about it, this Mr. Pu seems to have a close relationship with Mr. Zhang. If he was looking for Mr. Zhang to design, he, a newcomer, would not be allowed to do it in the first place. Maybe he thinks Mr. Zhang's cost is too high?But Tuhao has been showing that "the Lord is not short of money" all the time.Or is Mr. Zhang looking down on his idea of ​​farmhouse entertainment?But the Japanese garden is a high-end demand in landscape design.

Huang Yuan was afraid of making this big client dissatisfied, so he didn't dare to raise any objections on the spot, so he could only acquiesce first, and planned to discuss it with the supervisor after returning to the company.

Pu Jiang quickly returned to his friendly demeanor, and even wanted to stay with Huang Yuan for dinner, but Huang Yuan looked at the darkened sky outside the window, and bravely declined.Pu Jiang was no longer unhappy, and made an appointment to read the first draft, and politely sent Huang Yuan out of the house.
