051. Struggle
Zhang Siyi sweated and sent a message to Lu Qiao: "Hey, have you seen the base? It's blank and there is no surrounding environment. How should this be designed?"
Lu Qiao: "→_→"
Zhang Siyi: "I owe you this time! tat"
Lu Qiao: "Hey, I'm actually blind. Search: \(,,,,,) Watch fine literature for free"
Zhang Siyi: "..." (= dish=)
Lu Qiao: "You can treat it as an office building anywhere, and build one according to the requirements in the task book."
Zhang Siyi: "…Can this work?"
Lu Qiao: "I used to do this all the time. Design first, and then modify it when more detailed conditions come out."
Zhang Siyi is a bit confused, he can indeed do as Lu Qiao said. After all, they really can't see anything on this land, but Zhang Siyi doesn't agree with the method of "do it first and then change it", and he doesn't like it very much either. Do things in vain.
Moreover, "doing it casually" without any analysis also disrupted his consistent thinking logic, just like writing a self-proclaimed thesis, which is always much more laborious than doing multiple-choice and quiz questions.
Zhang Siyi, who has no clue, can only build a base model first, and play with the shape of the office building for a while. When he gets off work in the evening, he really can't play anymore, and feels that no matter what he does now, he has no end.
He sent another message to Lu Qiao: "Sister Qiao, I think we have to visit the base."
Lu Qiao: "Uh, is it necessary? The weather is so cold, the business trip is so tiring, the design cycle is so short, and it's almost New Year's Eve, I don't want to go!"
"..." That means he can go but he doesn't want to go? (= dish=)
Zhang Siyi said: "If you don't want to go, I'll go alone. I checked and it's not far from city C. It's enough to take the high-speed train back and forth for a day. If you can't make it in time, you can work overtime. , when I collect the information and share it with you."
Lu Qiao seemed to be moved by Zhang Siyi's work attitude and selfless dedication, and said with emotion: "I'm embarrassed to not go if you say that. Forget it, let's go together. But you don't need to ask for leave when you go out to inspect the base. The boss reports and you can go after approval, it is considered a paid business trip, and there is a higher food and beverage subsidy than usual."
Zhang Siyi: "So good!"
Lu Qiao: "What a shit! Traveling on business is much more tiring than sitting in the office to draw pictures! My mother is getting old, and it takes at least a week to recover after going out to hurt your muscles and bones."
Zhang Siyi twitched the corners of his mouth, Yu Xin couldn't bear it and said, "Either I should go alone."
Lu Qiao: "If we talk about it, let's go together. If you go, I won't let the boss know that I will be disrespected. Besides, you are younger than me, so I don't feel relieved if you go alone."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
After reaching an agreement with Lu Qiao, Zhang Siyi rushed to send a message to Gu Xiao asking for permission before leaving get off work: "Gu Gong, Lu Qiao and I want to go to C city to see the scene."
Gu Xiao quickly replied: "Yes, you can find the personnel and ask them to help book tickets."
Zhang Siyi was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Xiao to agree so easily. He was worried that Gu Xiao would say "no need".
Just after communicating with HR, Gu Xiao sent another message to ask, "How many days?"
Zhang Siyi: "I'll be back tomorrow night."
Gu Xiao: "Okay, take care of your own safety."
Because of the day trip, it is necessary to get up early. Based on the previous business trip experience with Gu Xiao, Zhang Siyi asked the Human Resources Department to book a high-speed train at 7:00 in the morning.
When Lu Qiao found out, he wailed: "It's too early?! It takes less than two hours to see the venue! The house I rent is far away, and I can't catch the high-speed rail at this point! Can't I change the ticket and leave later?"
Zhang Siyi felt a little guilty. He anxiously told HR about the time, but he forgot to discuss with Lu Qiao what time to leave.
But he also has his own ideas. Go earlier to see the scene earlier, so that he can come back earlier. After all, he has to go to work later.
And this is the first independent project he has taken over. He has a burning heart and wants to do everything he can to make it well.
Zhang Siyi thought for a while, suddenly had an idea, and said to Lu Qiao: "I live only twenty minutes away from the high-speed rail and subway. If you don't mind, you can come to my place for one night. One of my roommates moved out with my girlfriend. Stay, his room is still empty, the bed and quilt are there, so we can go out together tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Lu Qiao excitedly said, "Okay, okay! Of course I don't mind, it's convenient for you. Anyway, I'm alone, and it's the same wherever I live."
Zhang Siyi: "Hahaha, that's fine, you'll come with me later."
After work that night, Zhang Siyi printed out the documents for the next day's business trip and brought it with him, and called Fu Xinhui in advance to tell him that he was taking Lu Qiao home for one night. Fu Xinhui said that he had no opinion, and said To invite them to dinner.
Lu Qiao asked, "Is your buddy the handsome guy who came to ktv last time? It looks like a local tyrant! You too, last time I heard that you live near that xxx. The location is so good and the rent is very expensive, right?"
Zhang Siyi remembered his exhausted domestic needs, and called the poor road: "Yeah, it's super expensive! If I knew that the rent accounted for so much, I wouldn't rent such an expensive house, and I can't afford to eat!"
Lu Qiao still didn't know how much the house he rented, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, for the sea drifters like us, the rent has always been the big one. This is something that can't be helped." He Sighing, he added, "Rent has risen faster than wages in recent years. I think I will have to move to a more remote location next year to survive."
Zhang Siyi asked curiously, "Where do you live now?"
Lu Qiao reported a place name, and Zhang Siyi was surprised. Isn't this the end of a certain subway line: "Damn, why do you live so far away? How long do you need to come to the company every day?"
Lu Qiao scratched his head: "It's okay, it's only forty or fifty minutes, there's still a place for the end point, just doze off on the subway and you'll be there."
Zhang Siyi: "Then where are you going to move further?"
Lu Qiao: "Sit at the end of the subway and then transfer to a bus hahaha!"
Zhang Siyi: "…"
Compared with Lu Qiao, Zhang Siyi suddenly found that his living conditions were already good enough to attract hatred, and he would be a little embarrassed to be poor again.
Sure enough, as soon as he got home, when Lu Qiao visited their residence in a stunned manner, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth aunt, you filthy rich second generation!"
Zhang Siyi defended himself painfully: "I'm not rich. The rent is 4,000 yuan a month. Our wages should be about the same. You have more money than me after deducting the rent!"
Lu Qiao was a little surprised: "You pay the rent yourself?"
Zhang Siyi nodded again and again: "Yes!"
Lu Qiao pouted, and then withdrew his contemptuous eyes, but still complained: "You can afford such an expensive rent!"
Zhang Siyi squinted at Fu Xinhui, who wisely chose to remain silent...
Lu Qiao is from Mianyang, Sichuan, and Fu Xinhui invited them to eat Sichuan food that night.
Lu Qiao still had a bit of hatred for the rich, but after seeing Fu Xinhui being so generous and not putting on airs at all, he also ordered a table of dishes, such as boiled pork slices, dry stir-fried sausages, and spicy river prawns. Lu Qiao immediately served them up. With a wide-eyed smile, after drinking two glasses of wine, he called Fu Xinhui his brother.
"This quack is cooked so darkly (the meat is very soft), and it's so spicy that it's suang (sweet)... Hey, Brother Hui comes to my hometown to play, I'll bring you snacks!" Lu Qiao was full of chili oil, her face flushed red .
Fu Xinhui laughed and said, "Okay."
Zhang Siyi couldn't resist it was too numb and too spicy, his eyes were red and his nose was red after a few chopsticks. Bought it, it's really spineless!"
Lu Qiao said, "Don't be sour, I'll treat you to eat when you go."
Zhang Siyi grinned, but the spiciness that just came up rushed into his trachea, "cough, cough" and sobs, making Lu Qiao laugh out loud.
The three chatted while eating. Later, Zhang Siyi learned that Lu Qiao's family had a younger brother. His parents were not in good health. He is now the biggest source of income for the family. That's why I live in such a remote house.
Zhang Siyi felt sympathetic and asked, "Will you relax when your brother is working?"
Lu Qiao: "I feel very relaxed now. Compared with the past, life is much better now! When I was studying, I only complained about the cost of studying architecture. In addition to paying tuition fees every year, there are all kinds of miscellaneous materials and printing fees. I'm too busy to work part-time. If my parents hadn't borrowed money from everywhere to firmly support me in college, I would have dropped out. Hey, you don't know when I received the first month's salary and called my parents back. The four of them all cried while holding two phones!"
The emotional Zhang Siyi almost lost his eyes when he heard it.
Lu Qiao added: "As for my younger brother, my younger brother will always be my younger brother, no matter whether he works or not, my elder brother will always be a role model for him. It's easy, it's pretty stressful."
After hearing this, Zhang Siyi's sympathy for Lu Qiao turned into admiration. Even if he was petite, even if he was jokingly called "Qiao Mei" by his colleagues, he couldn't cover up the soul of a man who stood upright in his body.
Fu Xinhui also lowered his head and ate silently, probably a little ashamed.
Zhang Siyi noticed that Fu Xinhui's expression was a little heavy only when Lu Qiao mentioned "younger brother". He probably thought of his sister. Fortunately, he changed the subject in time.
Early the next morning, Zhang Siyi was woken up by the alarm clock, and yawned with Lu Qiao who didn't wake up to catch the high-speed train.
Zhang Siyi bought two cups of costa on the high-speed rail and invited Lu Qiao to drink. Lu Qiao smacked his lips while holding the coffee: "local tyrants, tyrants, I never buy such extravagant things when I go out!"
Zhang Siyi didn't know if it was because he subconsciously listened to Lu Qiao's personal experience yesterday that he somehow wanted to be nice to him...
After getting in the car and having a cup of coffee, both of them became more refined. Zhang Siyi casually asked Lu Qiao why he wanted to study architecture. Lu Qiao said that he also thought that architecture would make money at the time, but later found out that it was a pit.
Those who can really make money are those who have caught up with the times. In the early years, construction was carried out across the country. As long as they graduated from the Industrial and Civil Construction, everyone could make money. But now the form is very different. The construction market in big cities is approaching saturation, and the development of small cities can’t keep up with domestic demand. Over the years, a lot of people who have studied architecture have been caught, not to mention second- and third-rate universities. The training school of China can find a foreman who can open the banner to engage in architectural education. Under this circumstance, the entire industry has been completely mixed, and there are too many monks and few porridges.
However, Lu Qiao was in a good mood. He said, "I learned this business, and I don't know what I can do if I change my career now. My hometown is a small place, and people there do not talk about design and construction, and I can't find it when I go back. If I go back to a better home city, the salary of a small company will be at most 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, and I have to pay rent. But I can save 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month by renting a cheaper house in Haicheng. The situation is not too bad, keep working, everyone will survive."
Zhang Siyi nodded, quite touched.
After that, the two talked about each other's hobbies and hobbies, and unexpectedly found that both of them are interstellar fans, and they have watched all interstellar-related films, such as "Star Wars", "Apollo", "Star Trek"... Talking about the excitement The office also excitedly patted the table, and agreed to spend the night together in the future.
Since City C was originally a county seat and there was no high-speed rail, they first arrived in the nearby cities, then took buses and taxis, and it was almost 11:00 noon when they arrived at the base.
The weather was fine that day, and there were no clouds in the sky, but it was also really cold.
The two walked around the outer section of the road. Just like what Zhang Siyi saw on the map, there were some irregular farmland and water beaches in the base. As a rule, the status quo of the entire land is not much better than that of the development land in Z City.
But the government of Z city at least still knows the bidding plan, and then starts the construction after planning. The government of C city directly asks them to design an office building on this land. Isn't this nonsense
Facing this large piece of desolate and desolate land, Zhang Siyi couldn't imagine the appearance of an office building rising from the ground. At a loss, he couldn't help feeling depressed and hopeless.
The wet and cold wind unique to Jiangnan came in bursts, and the two of them were so cold that their cheeks hurt and they shivered.
At this moment, Lu Qiao suddenly read a sentence: "NASA America calls Houston! Repeat! NASA America calls Houston!"
Zhang Siyi then blurted out: "We have left the orbit! Flying into the dark space!"
Lu Qiao looked up at the sky: "The hydraulic pressure has leaked, the control system is completely out of order, the fuel is about to run out, there is no need to send rescue, there is no hope!"
Zhang Siyi raised his arms: "Please take care of our family!
The author has something to say: Also, please tell them, we... not going back! "
Lu Qiao raised his hands and clenched his fists: "For the future of mankind, for the cause of construction!"
The two raised their arms together and said, "Fight!!!" gd1806102
