Chapter 54
Chapter 43
The two returned to the city from the sea, and Qi Ji was sent back to the studio. The Bugatti Veyron is too eye-catching and not suitable for commuting. The driver who came to pick him up was still driving the Mercedes-Benz Big G.
But it was still not Uncle Xu, Qi Ji asked curiously, but Pei Yusheng only said that Uncle Xu was busy with other things, and he was not in S City recently.
Qi Ji didn't ask any further questions.
The beach is closer to Yuntu. Qi Ji originally thought that this trip would take Pei Yusheng to the company first, but the driver took a detour and drove to Lina's studio first.
In this regard, Qi Ji was also full of doubts. Even in the early morning, Pei Yusheng was not idle. Just in the car all the way, the phone rang no less than five times. It was the kind that Pei Yusheng couldn't refuse, and the conversation between him and Qi Ji was overwhelmed. Zero and eight.
However, despite this, the man still accompanied Qi to the studio, and took him to have breakfast on the way.
During the breakfast, Pei Yusheng's phone still didn't stop, but this time he didn't answer all of them, concentrated on eating with others, and even added a sun egg to Qi Ji.
When he was only one intersection away from the studio, Qi Ji was let down.
He continued to work on the design of refreshments, and spent another day with Zheng Hang. Lina still didn't come that day, and everyone else in the studio was used to it, so no one asked.
At noon the next day, Lina arrived late, and when Qi Ji returned from lunch, he saw a bright red.
Lina dyed her freshly dyed black hair back to a bright color. The bright red was like burning fire. With a dark green dress, it was still her usual strong and cold style.
Qi Ji noticed that Lina's makeup was restored, and the black tattoo line was still running under her right eye, even longer than before.
Qi Ji has no habit of staring at people, but he has a good memory and never forgets it. He clearly remembered that the tattoo line only reached Lina's chin before, but now it extends to the junction of the chin and neck, as if the tears flowed again.
But other than that, Lina is business as usual, even the tone of criticizing Qi Ji is exactly the same as before.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult for Qi Ji to connect the events of that night with Lina.
After reading the first draft, Lina made a lot of comments, but fortunately there is no need to completely overturn it.
However, the sea area of ββthe plan needs to be greatly changed. Lina is the general manager of this project. She is responsible for controlling the general direction and does not participate in the specific work such as color matching and styling. The more detailed part has to be done by Qi Ji and Zheng Hang.
The two continued to work on the plan. Zheng Hang was responsible for controlling the local elements of S City, while Qi Ji was more involved in dealing with the Forest Architecture Office. During this period of time, he has been filled with a lot of architectural design knowledge, and he has also made several sets of interior designs by himself under the guidance of his predecessors. Although it is not directly related to the design of refreshment packaging, it has also deepened Qi Ji's understanding of this field.
And beyond expectations, several sets of interior designs made by Qi Ji actually produced a set of finished products with very good effects, which surprised and amazed several architects in the forest.
Although this work was completed by Qi Ji under the guidance of a professional architect, it was really unexpected that such a result could be achieved in such a short period of time.
This is inseparable from Qi Ji's personal aesthetic ability. There are differences in form, but art has no boundaries. Obviously, Qi Ji's talent and foundation have also been perfectly displayed in this design.
When they saw the work, several designers in the forest office were surprised at first, and then they borrowed Qi Ji's finished draft several times. They didn't know what they were discussing, which made Qi Ji a little surprised.
Although this set of works is very effective and has extraordinary performance, it is obviously not enough in front of several mature architects. To be honest, Qi Ji does not think his own works are so worthwhile to study.
Moreover, in a sense, design is a kind of work that is inevitably subjective, and interior design is even more so. This set of works is completely made according to Qi Ji's own preferences. Although he likes it very much and has been recognized by others, it may be safe to not like this style if he changes to another client.
Moreover, the type of apartment Qi Ji chose was the large-area apartment type specified by his predecessors, and the bedroom alone was nearly 100 square meters. Even if Qi Ji didn't understand it, he knew that a client with such real estate and financial resources would definitely be very picky, and he wouldn't let an intern do the design.
Qi Ji made it according to the concept draft from the very beginning. Although the material, construction and budget have been carefully considered, he never thought about the actual implementation.
After all, even a mature architect would have his drafts sealed in dust, not to mention that he was an intern.
Just looking at the importance of these seniors' repeated discussions, it really doesn't seem like the attitude towards the concept draft.
Qi Ji couldn't understand this either.
After another half month or so, the refreshment design was finally finished, and Lina nodded. The effect of the whole set of drafts presented in the interior simulation map given by Forest Office is quite beautiful, enough to be included as one of the attracting features of Xinghai retail store. It is also very suitable if they are placed in the refreshment rooms of various subsidiaries in S City.
After that, there are only some minor adjustments left, and mass production in the later stage, which is much easier than the earlier stage. Qi Ji left the studio first and returned to Yuntu.
Counting the time, it's almost the end of Qi Ji's internship.
Just before he left, he was not busy, so the studio held a farewell banquet for Qi Ji. Zheng Hang blew a pint of beer by himself and kept calling Qi Ji, little brother, and turned the farewell party into a stand-up comedy performance.
Many more people came to this banquet than Qi Ji had imagined. Qi Ji didn't even think about the farewell banquet. With the return of the welcome at Yuntu last time, he can be considered to have a little experience, and he is not at a loss in the face of the goodwill of his friends.
Even Lina, who was not there, brought a message and asked Qi Ji to continue reading Xinghai's books.
After the farewell party was over, Qi Ji returned to Yuntu.
However, unlike the studio where the farewell party was held so grandly, the cloud map was an obvious low pressure.
As soon as Qi Ji came back, he felt the downturn in the company's atmosphere. Although the work was still going on, it was clear that everyone's emotions were obviously a little depressed, and even the daily nods and greetings lost a bit of the usual smiles.
With such an obvious change, it is obvious that something major has happened. It was useless to inquire, Qi Ji learned the reason from his colleagues.
Yuntu's bidding project for the design of the new R&D center failed.
Qi Ji was puzzled. President Pei had not had much free time all this time. He thought that the other party was busy with this matter, but he did not expect that Yuntu's bid would fail.
But the boat is done. The feng shui treasure land of Shanhai Manor has been photographed by others, and the best location for the R&D center has gone to waste. The company has spent almost all its efforts to bid for the bid. Disputes, until now, Yuntu still failed to set the address of the R&D center.
The people inside the company are scattered, and even though the work has returned to the right track, the emotions of the employees are still a little difficult to understand.
Even the refreshment room that was carefully prepared before is no one cares.
The current project of the design department is finishing up, and Qi Ji has been assigned some corner work. He is not busy and will finish it soon. During lunch, Chen Zixuan was away on a business trip. Qi Ji and Li Anbei were together, and the atmosphere in the cafeteria was also a little depressing. Most of the colleagues left in a hurry after eating.
Li Anbei was not greatly affected, but the atmosphere of the cafeteria is not suitable for chatting. After lunch, the two went to the refreshment hall together.
The huge refreshment hall was empty, except for the slight sound of the freezer running. There are still all kinds of fresh refreshments on the long table in the hall, but no one comes to taste them.
It was still early, so they simply sat down at the booth in the rest area.
Qi Ji put the tray on the table and opened a bag of nougat. Although the tea packaging has been designed, it has not been mass-produced, so it is still the original transparent bag, but the manufacturer has changed from Fugui Food Co., Ltd. to Wonder company.
Looking around, Qi Ji was a little puzzled: "Senior, why is no one here? Isn't lunch time the most crowded time?"
Yuntu's internal monitoring only had pictures, no sound, and there was no one in the room. The two sat in the corner and chatted freely. It was a lot more free.
Li Anbei said directly: "Because this was specially approved by President Pei."
Qi Ji frowned: "President Pei?"
What does this have to do with Pei Yusheng?
Li Anbei took a sip of soda water and said with zero calorie: "Actually, this should be regarded as anger. If nothing else, the refreshment hall was originally planned by the headquarters, but the first pilot of Yuntu was signed by President Pei. Everyone is dissatisfied with him, and even the refreshment hall is affected."
Qi Ji didn't understand: "Why are you dissatisfied with President Pei?"
Li Anbeidao: "It's not because of the failure of the bid."
Qi Ji hadn't come back for a while. He didn't know anything about it, so he explained it in detail.
The Jiang family's forces have spread out for thousands of miles, and the bidding can finally be put on the bright side. Although there are many strong opponents, after analyzing one by one, everyone still has a lot of hope for this bid.
The advantage of cloud map is very obvious. As a communications technology company, Xinghai is already very attractive to local governments. For this bidding, the company used all the available personnel, and with the unremitting support of the headquarters, it made a quite convincing and almost perfect bidding plan.
In the end, the news of losing the election came as a blow to the head. The result was really unacceptable, and some people burst into tears on the spot.
"It's really...how to say it," Li Anbei pondered for a while. "The company was too busy some time ago, working overtime. It was a common practice to eat all night, and many floors were lit all night."
"Our department is the same. Several PPTs have been changed over and over again, and all the visual technologies that can be used have been used. They worked hard and finally failed."
Qi Ji is not in Yuntu, but he can imagine that during the time he was working as a nurse for Pei Yusheng, the man's sleep time increased, but he basically only got up to work after three or four hours of sleep.
But Li Anbei said: "Vice President Zhang is solely responsible for the bidding work. He has been in the company and has basically never left. Although his personality is still as strict as before, everyone is still convinced by Vice President Zhang."
"It's President Pei..."
Qi Ji asked, "What happened to President Pei?"
Li Anbei originally wanted to continue talking, but when he asked such a question, it was inevitable: "Qiqi, didn't you pay attention to gossip before, why do you care so much about President Pei today?"
Qi sent her speech at a loss: "No, that..."
Holding the cone, he finally made up a reason: "Actually, it's because of desserts. I prefer desserts, and the refreshment hall was signed by President Pei."
After talking, he really came back: "And I have been doing the packaging design of refreshments before, so I paid more attention to this matter."
Qi Ji felt that the reason was complete and logical, and after he finished speaking, he felt that it was very reasonable, but when he raised his head, he met Li Anbei's more suspicious gaze.
"...What's the matter, senior?"
Li Anbei smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay."
He originally asked casually, but he never thought that the other party would explain so much. Anyone who has known Qi Ji's character has not thought much about it at first, and he should think more about it when he explains it like this.
However, seeing his younger brother's serious and serious appearance, Li Anbei didn't ask any further questions, lest people be more nervous, and then stand up and give him a report.
"Go on, I just mentioned Vice President Zhang and President Pei, right?" Seeing Qi Ji nod, Li Anbei said, "Vice President Zhang is in charge of the work, but President Pei has never shown up in the company."
Qi Ji just breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was swayed by these words.
Didn't show up?
how come? Pei Yu stated that he was busy every day, sometimes even later than Qi sent it back. And this is the most critical time for the company, how could he not be there?
With the lessons learned, Qi Ji didn't express his doubts this time, and Li Anbei continued: "The company is working overtime, and at the busiest time, the boss is not there, so everyone has an opinion on President Pei. Although some people say , this has nothing to do with the presence or absence of President Pei, and he may not change anything when he is present. But President Pei has been absent for a long time after all, and everyone can't overcome this hurdle in their hearts. Comparing Vice President Zhang again, the perception of President Pei is even more Worse."
Qi Ji is also clear.
Although the bidding plan is the result of the joint efforts of everyone, at the bidding site, the presence of the president may also become one of the criteria for the organizers to measure their sincerity. Not to mention the president's overall control over the plan. It is normal for colleagues to be dissatisfied with Pei Yusheng because of this.
But having seen so many times how a man looks at work, Qi Ji still felt a little fluctuated about these accusations directed at Pei Yusheng that were clearly not related to him.
President Pei is not such an irresponsible person, there should be a misunderstanding.
"Actually, I also think that this has nothing to do with President Pei. Everyone's more emotional reasons."
Li Anbei continued.
"Do you know the land of Shanhai Manor? The original area was about 90 acres, more than 60,000 square meters. It was just right for us to build a research and development center, and there may be more space. When preparing the bidding plan in the early stage, we basically followed this plan. come."
"As a result, the auction was held some time ago, but what the government announced was that Shanhai Manor, together with Qingpu Lake, several thousand acres of undeveloped land nearby, nearly one million square meters, were packaged for auction."
Qi Ji was stunned: "How many thousand acres?"
"Yeah." Li Anbei said, "I didn't expect it? Everyone didn't expect it. Shanhai Manor is the best location on the east side of Qingpu Lake, so there are so many companies wanting to grab it, but now the government. The government directly packed and photographed the surroundings of Qingpu Lake, who can use up such a large piece of land?"
"The company didn't expect that, in fact, the bidding plan is easy to change. The main problem is that the funds are not enough, and the land is so big that no one knows what the above is thinking. When the news came out, everyone still held out hope, hoping that no one could Win the bid, so that the government can take apart the whole piece of land and remake it again.β
Qi Ji guessed: "As a result, someone won the bid?"
Li Anbei sighed, "Yes."
Qi Ji asked, "Which company took that piece of land, is there any news?"
Li Anbeidao: "I don't know yet, but it was announced this afternoon."
Qi Ji frowned: "This should have been received in advance, right? Otherwise, it would be really difficult to gather such a large amount of money in a short period of time..."
Millions of square meters of land, fifty years of use rights, even if Qingpu Lake is located in a remote area, it will cost at least one billion.
"Yeah," Li Anbei shrugged, "I still haven't fought to be better informed."
"So, I really can't blame President Pei for this. It's just that everyone has worked hard for too long, the gap is too big after failure, and the mood is a little out of control for a while, which has led to this situation in the past two days."
He said: "When the bidding plan was made before, someone in the company reported to the board of directors that Mr. Pei was absent, but the board of directors had not made any movement. When they failed this time, they changed their method and directly collectively wrote a public statement. Open letter, collect evidence of Mr. Pei's absence without permission during this period of time, and submit it to the headquarters."
Qi Ji didn't expect it to be so serious: "...an open letter?"
"Yes." Li Anbei said, "The letter has been handed in, and more signatures will be added in the future. It seems that one-fifth of all the employees of Yuntu have been collected. But Brother Xuan wants us to try not to participate. Go in, Qi Qi, if someone tells you about this, you can say that you are still an intern and don't understand this."
The buzzing in his ears could not be stopped. Qi Ji squeezed his fingers subconsciously, but he couldn't show it. He could only suppress his emotions and nodded randomly: "Well... I know."
The purpose of the joint letter is self-evident. Xinghai has always attached great importance to the opinions of employees, and has never made a single statement. In the internal forum of employees, there are even posts directly raising opinions with the chairman, and he has really received the chairman's personal reply.
The number of people in this joint letter has reached one-fifth of Yuntu's. This is no small matter and will definitely be dealt with seriously by the headquarters. Taking a step back, even if the letter from the United States cannot get a reply, Yuntu employees will send the content to the forum and make it public, and they will definitely receive a reply.
Because of this news, even if Qi Ji continued to eat dessert, it would be boring, and the work in the afternoon was also a little uneasy.
To be honest, it's not Qi Ji's turn to worry about this kind of thing. From the company's point of view, he is just an intern, and no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with him. Even from Pei Yusheng's point of view, Mr. President's ability is here, and it's not Qi Ji's turn to worry about it.
Even not long ago, Qi Ji heard all kinds of rumors and negative comments about Pei Yusheng like he was listening to news from a stranger, but this time, he couldn't be indifferent.
Qi Ji himself couldn't figure out the reason.
It was still not very busy in the afternoon, so Qi Jilian couldn't even fill himself with work to prevent him from thinking. His five senses are sharp and his colleagues' conversations are slightly related, and Qi Ji's attention can't help but be attracted to it.
Before Qi Ji could adjust his state, he heard a colleague's conversation on the side.
"Is there going to be a public announcement this afternoon? I remember it was three o'clock in the afternoon."
Director Wu was away, so everyone spoke more casually.
"Isn't it two fifty-five now? Come on, go to the official website to check it out."
Some people don't know why: "What kind of announcement are you talking about?"
The colleague next to me was also attracted and talked a lot.
"The bidding result for the land in Qingpu Lake was announced, you forgot?"
"Hey... What else is there to see in that piece of land, it's not sad enough to see it."
"Then we have to pay attention to see who took our dream lake away."
Everyone was not busy today. While talking, someone opened the announcement website and was ready to wait for the announcement to be updated.
While chatting and chatting, some people put up pictures of Qingpu Lake.
"Hey, let me tell you, this lake is really beautiful. It was occupied by Shanhai Manor for so long before, and I couldn't go there if I wanted to. Didn't Shanhai Manor collapse a few days ago, so I drove by myself with my family. Stayed by the lake for one night. The scenery, my God, is like a fairyland on earth. The lake is clear and the trees are beautiful. Look at the pictures I took that time, all without filters. If it can be developed Tourism is not much worse than West Lake."
The photo spread, and another person said: "Isn't it true, when the company made the plan before, we still thought about it, if this land was really photographed and a research and development center was built, there must be a shuttle bus from Yuntu to there. When the time comes, you can travel directly by the company shuttle bus. The entire lake is ours, and you can stroll around...how happy!"
A colleague sighed: "It's a pity that such a beautiful lake has become someone else's."
"Last time, Shanhai Manor only occupied a corner of the lake, and the lake was only occupied by closing the lake. This time, thousands of acres of land along the lake were taken away. You said that if this was developed, Isn't Qingpu Lake completely forbidden to see?"
"That's for sure... If you think about it, a Shanhai Manor can occupy the lake, so this time the bidders are so rich and powerful, they must have more money."
"Hey, who took my lake? I really want to know."
"What is your lake, just dream and you..."
Colleagues were talking, and the man standing in front of the screen suddenly shouted, "Hey, hey, come out! There's an announcement!"
"Hurry up, hurry up and take a look!"
Because of the chat, everyone gathered in twos and threes, and when they shouted, everyone focused their attention.
The announcement titled "Announcement of Land Sale Transaction Results" was clicked, and the company's internet speed, which had been praised for a long time, became an itch that was painfully slow.
After years of waiting, the result finally came out. My colleague took the lead in pulling the content to the column of the bidder's name. Everyone looked at it and saw that it said
"Jianghai Investment Co., Ltd.".
"Jiang Hai? Which one is this? I remember we didn't seem to have seen this when we analyzed competing companies before?"
"Jianghai Investment! Isn't this that famous financial company?"
This result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was at a loss.
"No, what does a financial company want to do with such a large land?"
"Is it because there is too much money to let go, and you need to buy a piece of land to save gold bricks?"
"What nonsense..."
Everyone was a little confused, but Qi Ji, who was beside him, was stunned.
Jianghai?
Isn't this the company where President Pei signed a part-time contract with him when he was temporarily employed and stamped with the official seal?
Before I could think about it, someone had already suggested: "Hey, who is the legal person of this company? I remember that Jianghai is not a company in S City, right? Why did they buy such a large land in S City?"
The legal person of the company can directly check it online, and some colleagues are quick to check the results directly.
"I found it!"
"Who is who?" everyone asked.
The person looked it up quite quickly, but after seeing the results, it became obvious that he was not very neat, and he couldn't even speak clearly: "Bah...! Bah..."
He was hooked, and his colleagues were angry and funny: "Bah, who are you scolding you?"
"No, it's not!" The man hurriedly defended his words, but he didn't say it neatly, so he could only directly show the screen to everyone, "It's Pei!"
Only then did everyone clearly see the names in the legal person column.
ββPei Yusheng.
The house was silent for a moment.
After that, a voice whispered, "Well, why does this name sound so familiar..."
"Can you not be familiar?!" Only then did someone react, "It's President Pei!! Pei Yusheng!"
