"If you still can't bear it, why don't you just stay here. A big man, crying and crying, going home to help Dad with funeral affairs, seems to have killed you." After the train started, Wei Liuqin said indifferently.

Pei Yanyu just found someone to change seats, and sat next to her not long ago.Hearing what she said, Pei Yanyu was astonished.He didn't cry in front of her, but his eyes were a little red. Unexpectedly, she saw him and said such words.

For some reason, Pei Yanyu felt that since Pei Que's death, Wei Liuqin had become stronger.It was as if the depression of the past few decades had finally been released. She had found an opportunity and a reason to vent. Standing on the other side of righteous words, she could count Pei Yanyu's various incidents from the commanding heights of morality.

Pei Yanyu was already too tired. Hearing such words, he had no intention of explaining.He lowered his head and stroked the train ticket in his hand, his nails were cut evenly, but he drew marks on it.

Perhaps because he didn't resist, Wei Liuqin forgave in an arrogant tone: "Actually, you don't have to be too sad. You've grown up and graduated from college, and your father isn't here. What else can I do to you? You like men, I It is impossible to arrange for your daughter-in-law to get married—now, even if it is a Vietnamese daughter-in-law, there is no price. If you insist on being with a man, I can't control it, and I don't want to. However, Han Li is really bad, you Look at what this family has become after you met him. He is a funeral star. After finishing the funeral for your father, except for Han Li, you can be with whoever you like. I am old, I don’t think you can live for a few years, so I don’t need you to worry about it.”

"Let's talk about dad's funeral first." Pei Yanyu didn't want to argue with her, and he was afraid that if he didn't answer, it would make her even more angry.

Wei Liuqin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally sneered sarcastically, and said, "It seems that you still plan to come back."

Pei Yanyu knew that everything he said would only make her dissatisfied.Her dissatisfaction has been suppressed for too long, and it can't explode until now, so she may express dissatisfaction with everything about him from now on, even his silence.Since everything is wrong, Pei Yanyu simply stopped talking.

Wei Liuqin said: "It seems that I really hit the spot."

Pei Yanyu glanced at the box she was holding in her arms, but still did not answer.

After running around for the past few days, Pei Yanyu has not been able to take a good rest.Now, he was finally sure that he was sitting on the train in Huizhizhou. Even though the surrounding environment was very noisy, he still chose to fold his arms and close his eyes.

Recently, domestic high-speed rail has been built rapidly, and the road network has gradually taken shape.In the Jiangnan land, the high-speed rail network has long been scattered, but in Huizhizhou, they still have to take ordinary trains.

The train wobbled a little, rattling as it passed the junction between the rails.

Hearing this sound, Pei Yanyu remembered that winter vacation.

He took the test for Han Li's 5 yuan chair, and told Han Li the news on the train home.Perhaps it was because of this incident that Han Li decided to quit the circle.

This seems to have happened not long ago, but, not long ago, Han Li threatened him with this incident, not allowing him to leave.

Thinking of this, Pei Yanyu's eyes were filled with tears, but fortunately he kept his eyes closed.He took a deep breath and quickly fought back the tears.

Han Li didn't know how he got back to the company. It seemed that when he recovered, he was already sitting in the office.

"Zhong Yunque?" Han Li said, "Let them come over."

After Ada agreed, she called the front desk.

Han Li rubbed his numb face and said to Ada, "Go and pick it up yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Han." Ada cleaned up the things on the table, got up and went downstairs.

A few days ago, Han Li contacted Zhong Yunque, but he never replied.Unexpectedly, when Zhong Yunque contacted him, he came to visit him directly and brought a friend.

Han Li had a hunch that it was not an ordinary friend, it was rather romantic, much like Zhong Yunque's style.It's a pity that Han Li is in a bad mood at this time, and he may not be suitable for entertaining guests.

After a while, Ada took Zhong Yunque and a young man upstairs.

Seeing this young man who was about the same age as Pei Yanyu, Han Li was surprised.Zhong Yunque's appearance is already outstanding, this young man's appearance and temperament are not inferior to Zhong Yunque's at all, and his body has a sense of heaviness beyond his age, which reminds Han Li of being overwhelmed by life. Pei Yanyu.

"Mr. Han, this is Mr. Zhong and Mr. Liang." Ada smiled slightly, "Tea or coffee?"

Zhong Yunque glanced at the young man beside him and said, "Coffee. He is very picky about tea."

"Does that mean I don't have good tea here?" Han Li joked as he stood up.

"Well, I'm afraid you and I are not qualified to comment on the quality of tea in front of him." Zhong Yunque recommended, "Han Li, Feiyi's boss. This is Liang Huanxi."

Seeing his mysterious smile and not introducing Liang Huanxi, Han Li knew that he wanted to guess for himself.Han Li didn't guess. Thinking of Liang Huanxi's achievements, he was already shocked by Liang Huanxi's appearance.

"Last year's winner of the Swiss Freedom Prize, I have admired him for a long time." Han Li shook hands with him politely.

Liang Huanxi nodded slightly, and said, "To each other."

"Mr. Liang seems to be flattering you when you say that." Han Li invited the two of them to sit on the sofa, and said to Zhong Yunque with a smile, "I only asked you to come to the company to have a look. Why did you invite the master here?"

Zhong Yunque smiled and said: "The great god returned from the sea, his father doesn't hurt, he has no mother's love, so he can only find food by himself. He came to join me, of course I have to find a good place for him."

After hearing this, Han Li looked at Liang Huanxi in surprise. Seeing that he was silent, he turned his suspicious eyes to Zhong Yunque again.

Zhong Yunque smiled helplessly, and explained: "He and Mr. Lin have some festivals, and I'm just an intern, so I'm sorry to introduce him to Qicuo Studio. Of course he can go to other companies, but my He has a lot of face, and he is willing to listen to me, so I brought him here to introduce you to each other. He belongs to the school of organic architecture and appreciates your work. I think you should hit it off. Besides, you are not going to participate in next year’s The Swiss Freedom Prize? He was the winner last year, so maybe he can give you some advice."

Swiss Freedom Prize?Han Li smiled wryly, if Zhong Yunque didn't mention it, he would have already forgotten about it.

Seeing Han Li's smile, Zhong Yunque's smile froze.He glanced at Liang Huanxi in embarrassment.

At this time, Ada brought the coffee, and the three of them looked at the secretary kneeling on the carpet to put the coffee, and the awkward atmosphere seemed to be relieved a little.

When Ada returned to her work station, Han Li said: "Feiyi is a newly established small company. Although there are projects for Lu and Flagship Studios, it is almost because of my personal relationship that I was able to get this project. You If I can come, I would like to, not to mention the salary, but I'm afraid that the company is too small and you won't be able to get any projects throughout the year, which will limit your talent."

For some reason, Liang Huanxi's brows and eyes were always haunted by thoughtful melancholy.Hearing this, he smiled slightly, but this smile made him look more indifferent and sad.He said: "It's okay, as long as you can make a living. But... I have one condition."

Han Li was not surprised, and said, "Tell me."

"There is a hundred-year-old house in Lantang Town, Meiyin City. It used to be a batik dyeing workshop. It was converted into a residential building and was used for more than ten years. It was finally sold. Recently, its current owner seems to be interested in that house. It is your company that is looking for the house to be remodeled, I wonder if you know about it?" Liang Huanxi asked.

Hearing that he was able to explain the ins and outs of that house in such detail, Han Li knew that he had something to do with that house.It's a pity that during this period of time, because of Pei Yanyu and his family, Han Li was so out of his mind every day that he almost left everything to the design director to take care of, so when Liang Huanxi mentioned it, he didn't know it at all.

Although he didn't know, he could guess why the other party asked, so he asked in a half-joking tone: "Is it possible that you want to be the person in charge of this renovation project?"

Liang Huanxi nodded and said, "Yes, I don't need the wages, but please let me be responsible for this project."

Feiyi was currently hiring people, and Han Li happened to not like the architects who were hired.Although Han Li and Liang Huanxi met for the first time, Han Li liked Liang Huanxi's stubbornness inexplicably.What's more, he has seen Liang Huanxi's design. Liang Huanxi is very proficient in using "Tao follows nature" and is very familiar with ancient Chinese architecture. If he is asked to be responsible for the renovation of a century-old house, Han Li believes that the problem big.

Han Li replied generously: "Of course it is possible. I wish for it."

At this point, Liang Huanxi finally showed some joy on his face, and said, "Thank you President Han for your trust."

Han Li smiled lightly and said, "Welcome to join Feiyi. Since it's your first time here today, I'll ask my secretary to take you around. Spot a spot and tell her she'll make it up before you come to work.—Ada!"

Ada had already heard him mentioning herself, and soon came to them, and politely invited Liang Huanxi to follow her downstairs.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Han Li murmured, "I always feel like I've seen his style before."

At the beginning, when he confirmed that he would participate in the Swiss Freedom Award, Han Li paid attention to the previous winners and their works.Although no mainland designer has ever won this award, Liang Huanxi, a "Hong Kong native", was among them.

For this reason, Han Li specially studied his works, and found that even in the design of western buildings, he likes to incorporate the details of Chinese gardens, especially his design style of advocating nature, which has an oriental background, which made Han Li It's hard to believe that he is an out-and-out designer of Western architectural schools.

Zhong Yunque hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher Lin Qingwu is his adoptive father, and they have lived together for many years."

Han Li was surprised and said, "No wonder. If that's the case, why didn't he go back to the studio?"

"Probably, there are still some inconvenient places." Zhong Yunque explained, "The old house he mentioned just now is actually the former site of Qiju Studio, his former home."

Hearing this, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

After a while, Zhong Yunque asked, "Senior, how are you preparing for next year's Swiss Freedom Prize?"

Han Li avoided his gaze and said, "I give up."

"Why?" He asked anxiously, "Is it because you already have your own company?"

Han Li pondered for a moment, then admitted: "I haven't drawn a draft for a long time. I don't have any inspiration."

Zhong Yunque was stunned, and for a moment, he frowned and asked, "Why? You should...have no pressure in life now. Once you have a company, you won't be held back by Lu Zhijie and the others, and you don't need to think about financial resources." Question. Could it be that after this happens, you have no new understanding of life?"

Seeing that his face was full of anxiety, Han Li lowered his head and said weakly, "It's not that I don't have a new understanding of life, it's that I don't have the heart to comprehend life at all. Don't talk about participating in competitions and drawing design drafts, if you didn't come over suddenly today , I really want to shut down this company tomorrow.”

Zhong Yunque took a breath and asked cautiously, "Is...is something wrong at home?"

Thinking of Pei Yanyu, Han Li's heart ached unbearably.He took a deep breath and said to Zhong Yunque, "It's okay."

These words only made the worry on Zhong Yunque's face more serious.He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, how about I come and help you?"

Han Li looked at him in disbelief.

After a while, Zhong Yunque seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Let's make this decision. I'll talk to Teacher Lin, and I'll come here to help you soon. Since you have something to do at home, go and do it first. Wait for the matter It's settled, come back here again. This way there will be no delay for both parties, and I will also have wages and opportunities to practice." After finishing speaking, he smiled easily.

"Then..." Han Li asked incredulously, "What about your brother? What do you say?"

Zhong Yunque was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "We are all adults, and we all have the right to make our own decisions, don't we? What's more, I came here to work, and I neither stole nor robbed. This is a formally registered company. What objection?"

His calmness surprised Han Li. Han Li stared at his face for a long time, and finally he was sure that he saw another person in his expression.

"Yun Que, why did you do this?" Han Li couldn't help asking.

Zhong Yunque was puzzled and said, "You need help right now, don't you?"

This was not the answer Han Li wanted to hear. He shook his head and said, "I don't mean this. Yunque, we had a very good time, but I left without saying goodbye. In the middle, many things happened to me." , become a hopeless person in the eyes of others. Even your brother advises you to stay away from me. I betrayed you, don't you hate me? Why do you still help me knowing that I am terrible now? " He paused ,"are you……"

Zhong Yunque's eyebrows raised slightly, as if waiting for him to finish his sentence.

Han Li shook his head again.

"Do I still like you?" After a long time, Zhong Yunque added on his behalf.

Han Li looked at him solemnly.

Zhong Yunque looked back sadly, and said: "Even if we are not together anymore, I feel that we are friends from the bottom of my heart, and you think so, don't you? Otherwise, the company has just been established, why are you looking for me? Is it out of revenge for my brother? I want to help you because I know you need help. Senior, don’t you believe that there is pure kindness in this world?”
