PDLP Chapter 18: My first pot of gold is in hand!
Chapter 18: My first pot of gold is in hand!
A young girl who hasn't yet entered the workforce can't possibly withstand her mother's elaborate schemes.
Moreover, it didn't take long for my mom to start chatting with her and they seemed to be getting along extremely well.
Xue Lin could only listen from the sidelines.
Before long, Lin Qingning's words were all tricked out of her, and her mother gained a deeper understanding of her.
His mother also gave him constant eye signals.
Xue Lin simply pretended not to see it.
My mother, however, was not discouraged.
At least, let's learn more about Lin Qingning first.
in the afternoon.
Lin Qingning helped Xue Lin review the mistakes in the second half of the book again.
By the time the explanation was finished, it was already getting dark.
"Let's test your results. I'll give you a few questions to try. If you can finish them quickly, I'll wait for you. If you can't finish them, I'll leave now and explain them to you next time."
"it is good."
Xue Lin nodded.
Soon, Lin Qingning wrote out some of the problems she had explained, changed some data and parameters, but kept the same problem types, and handed them to Xue Lin.
"It's getting late, I'll get started quickly," Xue Lin said.
Immediately afterwards, I started working on the questions seriously.
There are six major questions in total, covering various subjects.
Twenty minutes later, Xue Lin had finished.
These questions had already been explained once, so Xue Lin was able to solve them quickly.
"Not bad."
Lin Qingning was also somewhat amazed.
Looking at Xue Lin's test paper, every step was followed without missing a single one, and it was clear that Xue Lin had thoroughly understood all the questions.
That's why they were so at ease.
In fact, to get her off work earlier, Xue Lin increased her efficiency by leaps and bounds.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
That's talent!
"Xiao Lin, go see Qing Ning off. She's a girl all alone, and it's so late."
My mother spoke up.
"it is good."
Xue Lin naturally nodded.
It is indeed quite late.
The two walked along the road in the residential area, not in a hurry at all.
"I think my junior has made great progress. It probably won't be long before he won't need me anymore."
Lin Qingning smiled.
"Yes, we need it until the college entrance exam." Xue Lin smiled.
"And what about after the college entrance exam?"
Lin Qingning spoke, seemingly casually, yet also as if she had mustered all her courage.
"Let's take the college entrance exam first," Xue Lin said.
The two chatted as if it were a normal conversation, but it seemed that each of them knew what the other was talking about.
A rare moment of peace.
......
Back home, Xue Lin continued organizing the blueprints.
"Is it okay now?"
Xue Lin finished typing out the instructions for the drawings and carefully checked them over.
Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
Tomorrow, we can just release the images directly.
Three renderings, plus a dozen or so floor plans.
This includes architecture, structure, decoration, and electrical systems.
Aside from the renovation, nothing else was that complicated.
Xue Lin also made the annotations very clear; for the details, you just need to follow the drawings.
"Once this drawing is finished, I'll have time to write my thesis."
Xue Lin yawned.
Once the drawings are finished, the hour I used to spend drawing each day can be used to write the thesis.
The thesis is the core element, determining his position in the academic world of architecture and even in the history of architecture.
"Let's see tomorrow. If the client has any further requests, we can add more or revise it for another week," Xue Lin thought.
Even though he already thought the design drawings were perfect.
But, after all, it's 600,000.
If the client doesn't make things difficult for you, how can they justify spending so much money?
After all, the client has spent so much money, so it must be completely satisfactory.
Plans are not afraid of being changed.
Although sometimes, after architectural drawings are modified, other drawings also need to be modified.
However, that's just how design is.
He didn't think much of it.
Day two.
Manager Chen brought Chen Bo over as usual.
"Manager Chen."
"Engineer Xue." The two shook hands.
Although it wasn't the first time Xue Lin had been called that, he still clicked his tongue in disapproval; it was a long-unheard form of address.
"I've finished the drawings, Manager Chen, let's go to the conference room," Xue Lin said with a smile.
"it is good."
Upon entering the conference room, Xue Lin turned on the large screen.
"Let me show you the blueprints and the 3D model. If there's anything you'd like to change, feel free to let me know."
Xue Lin smiled and said, "For example, if you want to convert a certain area into a study or a children's room."
Children's room?
Chen Bo found it somewhat amusing when this was mentioned.
Does Dad want to have another child?
"We still need a children's room." Chen Jingming nodded seriously and said, "Chen Bo is an adult now, and it might not be long before he needs it."
The smile on Chen Bo's face gradually shifted to Xue Lin's.
Seeing Chen Bo's dark face, she suppressed a laugh.
Then, "No problem."
No problem at all, these are all minor issues.
"There's also the overall structure; some structures can be changed."
Xue Lin spoke.
They explained the design of some rooms and how they could be modified.
He's not afraid of trouble; if the changes are minor, they can be completed on-site today.
After all, he's quite fast at drawing.
Having done a lot of manual labor and low-paying freelance work in his previous life, drawing was not difficult for him, and his speed was no slower than that of professional design institutes.
"I think this layout is alright."
Chen Jingming thought for a moment, then nodded.
As for the changes to the children's room...
Actually, it doesn't really matter whether you change it or not, since that's all about interior design and you can easily modify it yourself.
"What do you think?" Chen Jingming looked at Chen Bo, then smiled and said, "After all, this villa is reserved for you to use when you get married."
Mentioning this, Chen Bo's forehead was covered in black lines.
He's only just turned 18, isn't it too early for him to be thinking about this?
"I think it's fine. Engineer Xue's design is already perfect."
Chen Bo also spoke with admiration.
"I have rarely seen such a beautiful building."
Xue Lin was in front, fiddling with a 3D model.
"This kind of style can't be bought for millions. I think it's worth doing," Chen Bo said earnestly.
Su Nuo stayed by her side without saying a word the whole time.
Chen Jingming nodded, "Then let's not change it, let's settle on it for now."
Su Norton was in high spirits.
"Xiaoyan, bring the contract."
Soon, Qin Yan took the contract over, and both sides signed it. The previous one was a letter of intent, and now it was a formal contract.
"Then I'll arrange the payment right away, and try to get it completed as soon as possible."
"Great, it's a pleasure working with you." Xue Lin smiled naturally. "If you need any similar designs in the future, feel free to contact me anytime. You can also introduce some friends; I can handle any style!"
"Of course, I trust Engineer Xue's skills," Chen Jingming said with a smile.
The first progress payment arrived on the same day.
Seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent will be transferred together after the project is completed.
After all, during the construction process, changes to the blueprints may occasionally occur, requiring the full cooperation of the designer.
Even so, after taxes, it still amounted to nearly 400,000.
It was directly transferred from Su Nuo to Xue Lin's card.
First pot of gold, in hand!
