Chapter 159
Who is Zuo Lao?
In recent years, Xia Guo has produced more than a dozen master designers. Among them, three are recognized as the top ones.
And those three, without exception, came from Zuo Lao Men!
When Zuo was young, his achievements shined through an era.
After getting old, the disciples taught are equally shining in the world.
This is the real first person in the line of interior designers.
Even with the title of first person, it is impossible to find someone who can compete with him.
“Lao Zuo, it turned out to be Lao Zuo.” Lidya Su’s eyes turned into star eyes.
Zuo Lao’s work is simply a required course for these designers. From school to company, she doesn’t know how many Zuo Lao’s works have been studied!
That combination of grandeur and delicacy.
That kind of perfection and harmony without a trace.
It’s simply…
perfect!
Now that Zuo Lao has become a judge, isn’t it time that she can meet Zuo Lao in person, and even get his teachings?
Lidya Su felt like she was going crazy with joy.
“Don’t be eager to get excited, after reading it, you finish reading.” Chen Hengqiang suppressed his excitement.
Is there better news than Zuo Lao?
Lidya Su continued to look down.
Then her eyes lit up suddenly.
A reward has been added to the contest.
That is, Zuo Laohui chose one person among the top ten to be his closed disciple.
Zuo Lao’s disciple is still a closed disciple. This is enough to drive everyone crazy.
Yuanyuan came over and saw this, and the whole person was going crazy: “Ah, ah, the chance of being taken as an apprentice by Old Zuo! Why didn’t I make preparations more seriously at the time!”
“Me too! I knew that I didn’t eat or drink at the beginning, and I had to design more carefully. In this way, I might be shortlisted.”
Except for Chen Heng and Lidya Su, there is a wailing in the office.
“The shortlisted personnel must gather at the Global Building at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.” The design director took a look and said with a smile: “Mr. Xiao said that the employees who are shortlisted for the competition are all green lights on the company side. You two are not going to work this afternoon. Don’t worry, your salary will be calculated.”
Chen Heng and Lidya Su couldn’t help cheering.
Back on his seat, Lidya Su sent a message to Jamel Xiao.
“Lao Zuo unexpectedly wants to come! You don’t want to tell me in advance!”
As the biggest sponsor of the competition, it is impossible for Jamel Xiao not to know this news.
Jamel Xiao smiled slightly, fingers quickly; “Are you surprised?”
“Surprise.” Lidya Su said very sincerely.
“Strive to be in the top ten.” Jamel Xiao said.
In the first ten, there is a chance of being accepted as an apprentice by Zuo Lao.
Lidya Su felt that his fighting spirit was burning.
Now, she has one more reason to win.
In the afternoon, Universal Building.
All the 30 shortlisted designers have all arrived.
Everyone waited eagerly for Zuo Lao’s arrival.
Two o’clock exactly.
The door opens.
The assistant came in with a spirited old man.
It’s Zuo Lao. Everyone was shocked.
Zuo Lao looked around, and then said: “It seems that no one is late, everyone is here. Then, I will first comment on everyone’s works in the first round of the finalists.”
Zuo Lao directly entered the whole without any muddle.
Everyone is also looking forward to it. Lu Xudong has already explained their work before. Can Lu Xudong’s vision compare with Zuo Lao?
The young assistant turned on the projection, and everyone’s work appeared one after another.
Zuo Lao gave a three-minute evaluation based on each person’s work, and then pointed out the general direction of progress.
When it was Chen Heng’s turn, Zuo Lao praised that Chen Heng’s works were very magnificent and had the style of Master Lin, but suggested that he should go out of his own way as soon as possible.
That’s it, Chen Heng was already excited.
He repeatedly pulled Lidya Su: “Lidya, do you hear that? Zuo Lao praised me for my great style!”
“I have heard, I have heard. Look at you for what you are doing.” Chen Heng was belittled, and Lidya Su himself looked forward to it.
Soon, her work is coming, I don’t know what Zuo Lao will give her!
“The last one, Lidya Su.”
Lidya Su’s work appeared on the projector.
Zuo Lao glanced at Lidya Su faintly, and then said unceremoniously: “This work is a little creative and clever! But, look at it, here, here, the structure is so messy. Here is this set of sofas. The combination of, and the coffee table is simply thought-provoking. It lacks the most basic structure. Not to mention, the color is fresh. But have you considered the overall tone? Here, if you move it like this, wouldn’t it be more it is good?”
Zuo Lao made only a few comments on other people’s works.
But when I arrived at Lidya Su, it took a lot of time and a large number of special approvals were made.
For ten minutes, Zuo Lao said that Lidya Su’s work was useless.
Lidya Su was also a little dissatisfied, but Zuo Lao always said that every time it was justified and well-founded, and after Zuo Lao’s simple modification, the whole work has indeed risen to a higher level.
Lidya Su’s lips moved, but in the end he couldn’t say anything, but his face paled slightly.
In the previous works, Zuo Lao has mentioned the highlights.
How come there are only shortcomings left in her place?
Zuo Lao is her idol, and Lidya Su feels that she is not good at being so criticized by her idol.
The eyes of everyone looking at Lidya Su couldn’t help but pity.
To be honest, they thought that Lidya Su’s work was pretty good before, but after being so broken and broken by Zuo Lao, they suddenly felt that Lidya Su’s work was suddenly not so good. At least there are bright spots in their works. Lidya Su’s work has no bright spots.
“Okay, that’s all for the explanation of the work.” Zuo Lao criticized Lidya Su from beginning to end, and then went directly to the next topic: “This time, the jury wants me to be a judge, in other words, you people It’s up to me to decide who can enter the top ten. Do any of you have an opinion?”
Everyone naturally has no opinion.
“But I have an opinion.” Zuo Lao said lightly: “In the end, interior design is to make people comfortable and comfortable. Therefore, I think the only person who has the power to decide the finalists is the masses.”
“the masses?”
Everyone could not help but talk.
Regardless of everyone’s comments, Zuo Lao continued: “I will give you seven days, seven days, you have to complete a design with unlimited themes, and then upload to the designated website. Then, it will take three days to shortlist each person. Open the voting channel. After three days, the ten with the most votes will directly enter the top ten!”
Directly decided by online voting!
This method is really simple and rude.
“Okay, that’s it for today. You can go.” Zuo Lao said that there was no extra nonsense, and he started to rush people.
When everyone was gone, the young assistant couldn’t help looking at Old Zuo: “Lao Zuo, Lidya Su seems to have been hit hard by you.”
Chapter 160
Zuo Chen snorted coldly: “Lidya Su, this girl has the most potential, so naturally she has to fight harder.”
The young assistant couldn’t help being speechless.
In recent years, Zuo Lao has hardly guided people anymore. Therefore, few people know Zuo Lao’s style.
This one, the more he sees designers with aura and potential, the more critical he becomes.
In his words, this is not a good thing!
Today, the top Master Lin of Xia Guo was the one criticized the worst by Zuo Lao when he first became a teacher.
“Lao Zuo, young designers, don’t know your style. This Lidya Su, will you not be criticized?” The assistant said with a smile.
“If you don’t even have the ability to bear this point. Then she has no future to speak of.” Zuo Lao said lightly.
Obviously, Zuo Lao didn’t intend to change his temper.
The young assistant could only mourn Lidya Su in his heart.
When he left the Global Building, Lidya Su was still a little lost. Chen Heng looked at him and couldn’t help but comforted: “Xiao Xiao, don’t be too sad. Zuo Lao’s words may not be all right.”
“It’s okay.” Lidya Su smiled hard, “I really have a lot of room for improvement.”
“Come on!” Chen Heng couldn’t help but encourage.
Lidya Su nodded heavily.
Then, he took a deep breath.
Although Zuo Lao is an authority, Zuo Lao’s opinions are also correct.
However, his criticism cannot bring down himself, on the contrary.
This will make her work harder.
One day, she will be praised by Zuo Lao.
Lidya Su regained his fighting spirit again.
Looking at Chen Heng, he admired Lidya Su a little.
If his work was criticized by Zuo Laozai for such uselessness, he might not be able to come back so quickly.
It was less than four o’clock after leaving the Universal Building, but the company had already given a fake, and Lidya Su went home.
She sighed, she must hand in a copy of the work that made Zuo Lao admire!
For a week, she still has to go to work during the day, and basically only during lunch break and night time can she prepare for the competition. Time is very urgent.
As soon as Lidya Su got busy, he once again entered a dim state.
Jamel Xiao looked distressed, but he knew that Lidya at this time could not be persuaded to come back, and he could only ask Zhang Ma to make more nourishing food.
Lidya Su is busy, he also has things to do.
Su Yingying’s affairs must be cut quickly, and an early decision must be made.
Jamel Xiao thought for a while and asked Su Yingying for an interview.
When she received the call from Jamel Xiao, Su Yingying was so happy that she almost went to heaven. She dressed up for a long time, and then went to the cafe early to wait.
About ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, Jamel Xiao entered the door.
When Su Yingying saw him, there was a blush on her face. She whispered softly: “Mr. Xiao, you are here.”
She felt her little heart throbbing hard.
In the past few days, she dared not contact Jamel Xiao, but contacted Lidya Su, wanting to ask Lidya Su to come out.
See if you can take the opportunity to get close to Jamel Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Lidya Su, this woman, blindly uses her work as an excuse to reject her again and again.
Ah.
Anyway, I once helped her too, but I didn’t expect that Lidya Su this woman would be such a white-eyed wolf.
But, what if she defended herself so hard? Did Jamel Xiao take the initiative to make an appointment with her?
The more Su Yingying thought about it, the more proud she became, and the smile under her eyes was almost unconcealed.
“Look at this contract.” Jamel Xiao sat down, but directly pushed a contract to Su Yingying.
“Contract?” Su Yingying was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked it up and looked at it.
After watching it for a while, the joy in her eyes became even stronger.
According to this contract, the Su family will get a Lanyu project. This project is not big to Lan Yu, but to the Su family, it is already a pie in the sky.
If this project is completed, Su Jiashao said that he can also make a profit of 5 million yuan.
“Then, it’s this.” Jamel Xiao pushed another check over.
Su Yingying saw that the denomination of the check was also five million.
Jamel Xiao’s eyes were calm: “Contracts and checks, you can choose the same for both.”
Su Yingying’s eyes sparkled.
Both items were worth about five million yuan, one for the Su family and the same for her.
Jamel Xiao, now let her choose by herself.
No matter which one you choose, she is the biggest beneficiary!
Jamel Xiao suddenly gave such a great benefit, did it, did he want to treat her…
Su Yingying felt her heart beating harder.
She raised her eyes and looked at Jamel Xiao with a shy look: “Mr. Xiao, what do you mean like this? If Lidya knows, will it be bad?”
The shyness in Su Yingying’s eyes was too obvious, but Jamel Xiao’s cold voice immediately rang.
“Su Yingying. When I was young, I was very grateful for you to be with me.”
“What are you doing…” Su Yingying’s face flushed even more.
Jamel Xiao’s expression was complicated.
At that time, not long after his father passed away, Lan Yu was in a precarious manner, and a group of people were staring at him. In order to be able to run the company wholeheartedly, his mother sent him to Linxian to keep him away from these swords and shadows in Ningcheng.
He can understand his mother’s decision, and she is also trying to protect him.
But at that time, he had just lost his father, and he was sent to Linxian by himself, which was tantamount to being far away from his mother.
It was originally a happy home with a complete success, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left.
He was afraid, he was panicked, he even resented the world a little bit.
Before Xiao Hua’er appeared, he had begun to become more and more autistic. He did not like to communicate with others, preferring to stay alone in a cold solitary space. He faintly felt that if this continued, what awaited him was an abyss.
However, his mother was busy with Lan Yu’s affairs, and the servants only cared about his food and clothing. No one knew his plight, Jamel Xiao even arrogantly let himself sink into the abyss.
Until one day, little flowers appeared.
“Hey, let’s play together?” She smiled at him outside the railing, like a little angel.
At that moment, Jamel Xiao felt that he had received some kind of redemption.
“Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao?” Su Yingying whispered.
Jamel Xiao was suddenly pulled back to reality. He frowned when he looked at Su Yingying’s hypocritical face.
He understood one thing in Su Yingying. No matter how pure things are, they will eventually be ruined.
She is a little flower, but it is no longer the little flower in his memory.
Jamel Xiao’s voice was calm: “When I was a child, you helped me a lot. I now give you what I think is appropriate. You can choose either contract or check. Then… From then on, I don’t want you to do things in the past. Mention it again.”
Chapter 161
Jamel Xiao’s voice was cold, and Su Yingying couldn’t help being stunned.
She thought with joy that Jamel Xiao wanted something to happen to her.
But looking at Jamel Xiao’s appearance at this moment, it was clear that he wanted to spend money and completely cut off the past.
Su Yingying couldn’t help but panic.
Without the identity of the stolen Xiao Huaer, she would have no capital close to Jamel Xiao.
Now that Jamel Xiao wants to cut off the past, is it to completely cut off her hope?
No, it must not be so.
Su Yingying gritted her teeth and shoved the contract and the check directly. She looked at Jamel Xiao with a sad expression on her face: “Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? When I was a child, I wanted to be nice to you. Is this just for the money? This is an insult to me!”
Jamel Xiao squinted his eyes and said, “Su Yingying, I advise you to choose the same. I will repay you only this time. If you refuse this opportunity, I promise that there will be no next time.”
Su Yingying couldn’t help looking up at Jamel Xiao.
His expression was very cold, completely different from the tenderness when facing Lidya Su.
why……
Why, when he thought Lidya Su was Xiaohua’er, he would decide to marry Lidya Su.
Now that he is a little flower, he simply chooses to use money to solve it?
Is she so inferior to Lidya Su?
Su Yingying couldn’t help biting her lower lip forcefully. She still doesn’t think that she is inferior to Lidya Su, but blame Lidya Su for making Jamel Xiao preconceived.
If she was the person who met Jamel Xiao first, she would definitely be able to marry Lidya Su.
“No matter what you choose, I will assume that I have paid my favor.” Jamel Xiao said calmly: “In the future, don’t get close to Lidya Su, and you are not allowed to tell her what happened when you were a child. Otherwise…”
Jamel Xiao paused: “Actually, I don’t want to destroy my childhood memories by myself. Don’t force me.”
Su Yingying’s face turned pale.
If it was a temptation before, it is now a complete threat.
Jamel Xiao was so heartbroken towards her.
“You have five minutes to think about it.” Jamel Xiao directly took out a pocket watch and placed it on the table.
Su Yingying looked at him dimly with tears: “Little Ye Zi, what did I do wrong? You want to be so unsympathetic to me?”
“Unfeeling?” Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows: “I don’t think I’m very unfeeling for a reward worth five million.”
Su Yingying does have a relationship with him.
But he couldn’t let this favor destroy his and Lidya’s normal life.
In this case, it can only be solved with money.
This has nothing to do with unfeeling, just a business.
“Now, there are three minutes left.” Jamel Xiao glanced at his pocket watch again.
Su Yingying looked at him pale.
Even if she showed such a pear blossom with rain, Jamel Xiao’s expression did not fluctuate.
If she refused the five million, she might really get nothing…
Su Yingying’s nails were dug into the meat tightly.
Seeing that time was about to pass, Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.
Su Yingying said with a sad look: “Mr. Xiao, in fact, I would never tell Lidya. If I take this so-called remuneration, it can make you more at ease…I am willing to fulfill you.”
After speaking beautifully, Su Yingying took the contract; “I choose the contract.”
Her little abacus is very precise. She can personally own the check, but the total is only five million, not much.
But under the terms of the contract, this business can be up to 5 million yuan. If the operation is good, the profit will be higher.
More importantly, in this case, the Su family and Lan Yu got in touch, and she might be able to meet Jamel Xiao again.
“Okay.” Jamel Xiao nodded and put away the check. Then, he gave Su Yingying a meaningful look; “Remember your promise.”
He also knew that even if she was paid, Su Yingying might not give up.
However, this reward was given to the little flower in his heart.
Since Su Yingying had already taken the money, with him, the friendship between the two of them had been broken.
If Su Yingying would stir the wind and the rain in the future, he would not be merciful.
Su Yingying looked at Jamel Xiao’s back who left without hesitation, her expression suddenly became cold.
Lidya Su!
It’s all you!
It would be great if it didn’t have you.
Without you, Jamel Xiao would be mine.
Su Yingying’s nails could not help but drew long on the bag.
The days are still long, and she will never just give up like this.
The dim week passed in a flash.
“Finally done!” Lidya Su was unkempt and cheered.
Jamel Xiao sat beside and turned a book.
Hearing the sound, he couldn’t help raising his eyebrows: “Very happy!”
“Of course!” Lidya Su said with joy: “This time, I made a lot of changes based on Zuo Lao’s suggestions. This time, I will definitely make Zuo Lao admire.”
“Oh?” Jamel Xiao put down his book, he picked up a glass of red wine and walked to Lidya Su; “So, do you want to celebrate with a glass of wine?”
“Okay, okay.” Lidya Su was going to ask for a glass happily.
However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Jamel Xiao raised her head and drank the wine.
“Hey, Jamel Xiao…”
Lidya Su hadn’t come to remember being angry, Jamel Xiao suddenly leaned down and k!ssed her lips.
The mellow aroma of red wine poured into his throat, and Lidya Su subconsciously swallowed it.
Jamel Xiao let go of her, and then looked at her with a faint smile, “How do you feel? Is it okay?”
Lidya Su’s face turned red with a brush, and then righteously accused: “Refuse to talk about such a dirty topic.”
“Dirty?” Jamel Xiao looked a little surprised: “I asked you how you feel about red wine. Is this also dirty? Lidya, you think too much, right.”
Lidya Su’s face became even more red, and she glared at Jamel Xiao angrily: “I won’t tell you, I’m going to take a bath!”
“go together.”
“Rejected.” Lidya Su looked at Jamel Xiao with a vigilant look.
“Rejection is invalid.” Jamel Xiao said calmly, turning around and taking off his shirt calmly.
Lidya Su was stunned by this progress. It took a long time before she reacted: “Jamel Xiao, don’t forget the month you promised me.”
“I haven’t forgotten.” Jamel Xiao’s expression was calm: “So, we just took a bath together purely.”
Bathing together, can there be purity?
Lidya Su instantly had the urge to kill Jamel Xiao.
“Of course.” Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows: “If you have other needs, I can’t satisfy you.”
Lidya Su was about to condemn this man’s shamelessly, Jamel Xiao turned around, already showing his strong upper body.
In an instant, Lidya Su forgot what he wanted to say.
She just stared at Jamel Xiao’s muscles.
Damn, this muscle, this figure. Coupled with that perfect face, it’s incredible.
“The saliva is coming down.” Jamel Xiao said calmly.
