Chapter 0020 – The first business, opening! (2 / 2)

“As for the deadline, in fact, she didn’t have much hope and there was no specific deadline, it’s just that I was in my head and promised him that I would be able to give her an accurate answer tomorrow morning.

Well, it turns out you asked for it.

Cheng Yu saw Jiang Xia’s face and encouraged him.

“Oops, I believe in your talent.” Cheng Yu patted her shoulder.”

After saying that, he threw the house type drawings of the low-cost housing to her, made the excuse that he still had a social function, and in a flash, he did not know where to run away.

“I guess he’s gone back to drinking.” Mediterranean shrugged helplessly.

“He was like this before?” Jiang Xia asked.

“Yes, before he wanted to be a hands-off, said I would only organize the data, but also had to throw the first project to me, what would I do? I stared at the drawings and only looked at them to talk, and in the end, he personally went into action without designing anything, and naturally, he was scolded by the customer…”

Jiang Xia could already imagine her end, but it was good that she had help.

The time was just after five thirty, the Mediterranean clocked out of work on time, and Jiang Xia took advantage of the fact that no one was in the house and pulled out his cell phone to send the house type and the client’s requirements to Tang Ei.

“This is the first single, listening to Cheng Yu’s tone of voice the client can give very limited funding, the difficulty is relatively large, you measure your strength.”

A few moments after sending it, Tang Ei replied with an “OK.”

Jiang Xia felt that she couldn’t just sit here either, she picked up the drawing and also wanted to try to see if she could figure out anything.

This low-cost housing is located at the head of the west building, the bedroom is in the shade and gets no sunlight all year round, the entrance is the living room, to the left of the door is the toilet, the toilet has no external window, the ventilation equipment is set up in the interior of the building, the living room and the bedroom are communicated through a narrow corridor, which also communicates with the kitchen, which has the only well-lighted window, but the kitchen’s temperature is already high, and sunlight causes the clients to be often sweating.

Inside the bedroom, a queen-size bed crammed into the southwest corner of the house took up most of the space, leaving a pitiful amount of room for a desk and clothes closet shared by the two children.

The thought of living in such a cramped and small home made Jiang Xia feel uncomfortable.

But where to change such a grim household environment?

Jiang Xia held the drawings and thought hard, not noticing that Cheng Yu had stood behind her at some point.

“The toilets are not ventilated, and the fumes from the kitchen are hard to dissipate, and it’s hard to keep the air circulating in the house with just one window in the bedroom, and I went to the field yesterday to observe the smell of her house, and it’s really bad.”

“You scared me!” Jiang Xia jumped up as if she was electrocuted, Cheng Yu’s appearance from behind her reminded her of many unpleasant memories.

“As well as the fact that the client had to move the living room couch and put up a single bed because both kids were growing up and couldn’t sleep in the bedroom in a queen-size bed.”

“So much for making the living room even more cramped.” Jiang Xia sighed.

“Say why did you take this order, it is true that the low-income group is very worthy of help and sympathy, but the low-cost housing is for this point should be born, ah, as far as I understand a lot of low-cost housing does not even have a toilet, their kind of living environment is already considered good.”

“Don’t you think it’s unfair for a child to grow up in an environment like that?”

“What’s so unfair about it? Although it’s a single-parent family, her mother didn’t steal or rob, supported the family by working with her hands and raised the two brothers, even if the living environment is a bit bitter, they can get rid of such a fate by studying and relying on their own efforts ah, which in itself isn’t a thing to be ashamed of.”

Cheng Yu shook his head and retorted.

“But we are in a position to make them better.”

“By conditional you mean endless handouts?” In fact, Jiang Xia had sneaked a look at the project budget on his computer after work in the Mediterranean Sea, and it was clearly written that the client would not pay a single penny, and that the entire cost would be borne by Windtalk Studio.

“Are you being charitable?”

Jiang Xia does understand that some enterprises in the early stage in order to make a name for themselves, through the way of thin profits to obtain more markets, which is not wrong.

“But we don’t have anything, we don’t have the money we need, we don’t have the designers we need… and I’m only on my first day on the job… even if we attracted new orders this way, we wouldn’t be able to digest them with the level of business we have now…”

Cheng Yu had been listening quietly, and even though her words were sharp and piercing, he added politely.

“Finished?”

“Well…I just got a little excited…”

“It’s okay, actually, I didn’t think about it so much at all, from the beginning of founding this studio, I just wanted to get rid of my family’s constraints, and I wanted to try to see if I could break through by starting my own business–but as you can see, we haven’t even received a single full order in the past three months, and So, my mindset has slowly changed, and I’m trying to let go of the utilitarianism and ask myself what I started the studio for in the first place.”

He stood up and looked out the window, it was dusk.

“That single mom has a leg problem and walks with a limp, she can’t work and lives on government handouts, those two kids are very understanding, the older one does well in school and the younger one is very obedient, and I’m sure there are more people in F-city who need more help than they do. And as you said, a poor family of origin is nothing to feel inferior about, but… but maybe we can offer them better conditions.”

“I did not think about how many people to help, my vision is quite narrow, when said can help her free of charge, I suddenly feel that I have found the original intention and value of the studio was founded, perhaps that’s all the idea of it, although the ultimate trouble is you, I’m so self-centered more or less some generosity of others hahaha, but you can rest assured that the funding of this piece of sure! You can’t do without it, how much do you need and I’ll tell you.”

Cheng Yu said and left, leaving Jiang Xia alone and silent.

So he, is he such a person? Jiang Xia suddenly realized that due to the influence of her previous reincarnation, she had left an unreliable stereotype of Cheng Yu.

“But that’s him ten years from now, and maybe ten years ago he was more eager to realize his worth than anyone else.”

Jiang Xia bought Cream Da Fu home as usual, she wanted to wait for Tang Ei to finish her design in the evening and treat her well, but she didn’t expect that just as soon as she opened the door, Tang Ei handed her four or five designs.

“Major changes, economic, practical, light luxury and so on five programs I have designed, the customer’s requirements are too simple, each of which can be guaranteed to meet, when the time comes, you just watch and choose.”

Worthy of being a returnee designer, Jiang Xia looked at a pleasing design, and then looked up at Tang Ei, who was stuffing her head and eating Dafu, and excitedly put his arm around her.

“Tang Ei! You’re really my little hero!”

“Jiang…Jiangxia-san, it’s going to be…out of breath…”

The two leaned in front of the bedroom mirror, their eyes locked in the mirror.

Jiang Xia stroked Tang Ei’s head with both hands, as if his soul was out of his body, caressing his other self.

“It’s as if a different soul has been implanted in the shell, and you’re like someone who only exists in the story.”

Indoor and outdoor Tang Ei is simply like two people, whether it is quiet like a virgin or moving like a rabbit, Tang Ei’s extremely different and cut-throat behavior exudes a certain elusive temperament, this unique mysterious temperament deeply attracted Jiang Xia.

After all, she would never forget, no matter how long it had been, Tang Ei’s name, but it was written clearly in the red diary.
