1566: GMP Welcomes You Anytime! (4 More)
Internship is over.
But the work of Xia Xiaolan and Matthew is not finished yet.
It's just that their internship attendance sheets are filled, and both of them have to finish their work.
On August 6, the two must return to Cornell to take courses for the fall semester.
Two days ago, even after the start of school at Cornell, Xia Xiaolan and Matthew still had to use the weekend to come to New York to handle the finishing work on the gmp side.
Matthew himself is not qualified to accept the entrustment at all, and Tina's entrustment also has to go through the gmp office.
Before the party started, Matthew ran over:
"Are we still a two-person team fighting side by side?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "That's right, at least tonight will be counted. When the party is over and we leave the gmp office, we will automatically dismantle."
Matthew's expression changed, "Can we break it up after tomorrow?"
"Why?!"
"Tina asked me to go to her place to sign the agreement tomorrow. She wants you to be there. Xia, count me begging you once. I really want to get this commission."
Not only was he talking about wanting to get a commission, but Matthew has put a lot of effort into Tina's commission these days, and he has drawn many sketches.
This matter should be settled before returning to Ithaca.
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Okay, this is what you said, you owe me a favor."
Neither Xia Xiaolan nor Matthew would have thought that many people from the company stayed at the party at night.
Even Hoffman, who has been stationed at the Wilson Hotel project in Washington.
Hoffman is back too!
"I was just going back to New York to see the kids and Kissinger told me there was a party and I thought why not!"
Be tough. Be tough.
Xia Xiaolan can meet many such people:
"I hope there will be opportunities to learn from you and work with you in the future."
Hoffman nodded stiffly, "...I really came back to see the child."
Matthew drank some wine and laughed: "Mr. Hoffman, Grey said your son is on a graduation trip. Has he returned?"
Hoffman stared at him.
Matthew's laughter got lower and lower, "So, are you back?"
Xia Xiaolan almost died of laughter, Matthew must have been drinking too much, why did he expose Hoffman's excuses? Are senior architects not allowed to have their own little arrogance!
"congratulations!"
grey came over with a glass of wine.
"Thanks, grey, Matthew and I didn't know anything when we first arrived at gmp, you took great care of us!"
grey smiled, "Matthew really doesn't understand, you understand, I think Mr. Kissinger's meaning is very clear, the door of gmp is open to you at any time."
grey was just a little angry at first.
When Xia Xiaolan has now made a design plan for the renovation of the theater, she will have no grievances.
Talented and powerful people don't need to talk about qualifications. If she has such talent, she doesn't need to be an assistant for so many years.
But there are still many ordinary people in this world, don't people without talent not live?
Grey adjusted his mentality, Xia Xiaolan and Matthew are GMP passers-by, and she has to fight with GMP!
&np The door was open, Kissinger said this, and called her to the office alone to ask Xia Xiaolan's plan.
Xia Xiaolan is naturally an old-fashioned saying that after the exchange student ends, she will go back to China.
Kissinger was more blunt than Professor McCarthy, saying that returning to China would be detrimental to her future professional development, and she supported her to stay in the United States to complete her studies. After graduating from Cornell's undergraduate architecture, it was logical to enter gmp work:
"Xia, I know you are not an ordinary Chinese student, you may not be short of money, but you also really like architecture, and your enthusiasm in your work is not fake...why not stay? Become a real architect in New York Teacher! Cornell is for you, and gmp is a good platform."
No, she is very short of money.
Xia Xiaolan's choice was destined to disappoint Kissinger.
She likes architecture more and more, but compared to making money by riding the wind and waves, it is still a lot worse.
In Pengcheng, Qihang just spent 7 million Chinese dollars to photograph a piece of land with an area of 35 mu. This time, it is a very conventional land. Unlike Jinsha Pool, which can be bought cheaply—there is nothing cheap to pick up. With so many eyes watching, it was the first time that the Shishuigou garbage pond was so cheap. Now the Pengcheng government has learned to be smart and will not sell the land cheaply anymore.
35 acres of land, more than 20,000 square meters, more than 12 acres larger than Jinsha Pond, those people are waiting to set sail, or Xia Xiaolan's next move.
Will Kaihang build a more expensive real estate than Jinshachi?
Anyway, it is impossible for Xia Xiaolan to stay in the United States any longer.
After the party, Matthew was very drunk, and Xia Xiaolan also drank a lot.
The next day she slept until ten in the morning when she was woken up by the phone ringing:
"Xia, you said you wanted to accompany me to see Tina..."
Really resentful male voice.
Xia Xiaolan got up from the bed, "Tell me the address of Tina's house and meet in the Upper East Side in half an hour!"
Matthew slapped her a few words of flattery. Xia Xiaolan didn't have time to listen. She took a quick shower and changed her clothes to go out. Tina's house and the Wilsons' house were separated by two streets. Na The house is a four bedroom apartment.
A young girl, why do you need 4 bedrooms?
Tina apparently thought so too.
When Mark and Xia Xiaolan met, he was talking about his thoughts after talking with Tina:
"She wants to knock down 3 walls, rearrange the layout of the house, keep only one large bedroom, and open up the rest to make an open space..."
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Very rich in second-generation ideas."
Xia Xiaolan used to be an ordinary person, and understands the idea of ordinary people very well. The more rooms you can open in the limited total area, the better. A 90-square-meter house with three bedrooms will definitely sell better than two bedrooms!
She also grasped this characteristic when engaging in residential development.
But this is not for the rich.
Rich people don't just own a property.
It doesn't matter how many people can fit in a house, they don't need too many rooms, they need spaciousness and wide views, it's pretty normal for Tina to make four bedrooms into one.
Xia Xiaolan followed Matthew up. The management of the apartment was strict, and it was probably more than ten times better than the place Xia Xiaolan rented.
And Matthew all the way up to the 9th floor, there is only one household on the first floor!
The door of Tina's house was open, and Tina's voice was sweet and waxy:
"I just want to redecorate the house, why not? God, I'm 18 years old, and I have the right to decide what place I sleep in... Didn't Daddy and Mommy give me this house? "
There is also a young man talking in the room, his voice is very gentle:
"Of course you can call the shots, but Tina, don't be too impulsive before doing things, okay? Every piece of furniture in this house, every decoration, is chosen for you by your mother herself, if you say no, you should throw it all away, I think Mom will be sad!"
