Chapter 137: Journey to Kyoto

The opportunity came soon.

During the summer vacation in August, Tao Nanfeng had just completed the design task of the city library. After submitting the final construction drawings, he received a letter from the Kyoto Construction Engineering Bureau, inviting Nanfeng Company to send representatives to Kyoto to participate in the design and construction of the Kyoto Nishisei District Gymnasium.

The letter also includes a sincere letter from Zhu Hongxing.

In the letter, Zhu Hongxing sincerely invited Tao Nanfeng's team to Kyoto to guide the work. He said that the Xicheng District Gymnasium was an expansion and reconstruction of the former site, with many surrounding buildings and complex environments. The Xicheng District Government was not sure about this project. After discussing with the Engineering Bureau, it decided to take the lead and adopt a bidding system.

According to relevant national regulations in 1980, in order to reform the current economic management system and further carry out socialist competition, bidding methods can be piloted for some production and construction projects and business projects suitable for contracting.

Kyoto is worthy of being the heart of the motherland. He dares to be the first, and this method of choosing the best architectural design plan through competition has never been tried before.

Everyone crossed the river by feeling the stones. The Engineering Bureau sent a letter to each bidding unit, asking the willing design institute or design company to go to Kyoto to collect the bid, submit the design plan within the specified time, the Xicheng District Government organizes experts to conduct the review, and finally determine the unit to undertake the design task.

Zhu Hongxing also attached a hand-drawn topographic map of the Xicheng District Gymnasium. From the map, the gymnasium is located in the downtown city, and it is only separated from the district government by Huihuang Daily. Next to it is Xinhua Bookstore, Xicheng Primary School, and Renji Hospital. The daily flow of people is very large.

The original gymnasium can no longer meet people's growing needs. The district government requires that the renovated and expanded gymnasium accommodate 4,500 people at one time, and can also undertake large-scale conference and performance functions.

Looking at the narrow space on the hand-drawn map, Tao Nanfeng pondered without saying a word. The requirements are high, the environment is complex, and there is little room for play, which is a very high challenge for the designer.

Moreover, the design institute invited by the Kyoto Construction Engineering Bureau must be very strong. As a newly registered design consulting company, Tao Nanfeng mobilized a lot to go to Kyoto and fought a tough battle. Tao Nanfeng felt it was too difficult and not worth it.

Just as he was thinking of such a refusal, Zhu Hongxing called the department office and asked them to tell Tao Nanfeng that he would call him an hour later and ask her to answer.

Tao Nanfeng received a call from Zhu Hongxing.

"Tao Nanfeng, have you received the letter from me, the letter and the map? Do you have any ideas?"

"The project is very difficult, the competition must be very fierce, and I don't plan to go north."

"I know you have talent in engineering structure. With such a narrow space, there are six-story office buildings of the Brilliant Newspaper, a primary school teaching building on the floor, and a five-story Xinhua Bookstore building. If you are not careful in design, you will cause interference to the surrounding buildings. We need your talent and your help."

Tao Nanfeng didn't say anything, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was in a fierce ideological struggle inside.

A little man said, "Go, go to Kyoto, look at the most glorious hall of the motherland, look at the place where the sun rises, and feel the fusion of history and modernity. Only by constantly moving forward and dealing with better people can you make progress faster."

Another villain said, "The company has only been open for two months, and it is unnecessary to take steps too big at once. What's more,... the child is still young and cannot do without his mother."

Zhu Hongxing continued to lobby: "Your company comes to your company, travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and meal expenses will be reimbursed by the Engineering Bureau. Don't worry, I will arrange for you to live in the Xicheng District Government Guesthouse to ensure that you are at home. It is best if you can participate in the design bid. If you are unwilling to participate, please help us check it. At least you must ensure that the expansion project will not affect the surrounding buildings.

Don't worry, you are the only one of the other foreign units invited this time, and the rest are Kyoto Design Institute. Kyoto University Architectural Design Institute is also among the invitations. You may also meet Feng You and Zhou Ruowei, after all, are you acquaintances?"

This is a fun to watch.

Tao Nanfeng made a quick decision: "Okay, then let's come here and send you a telegram after buying the ticket."

Zhu Hongxing was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

After putting down the phone, Tao Nanfeng looked at his father who had been sitting beside him: "Dad, come with me to Kyoto?"

Tao Shouxin laughed: "This kid needs his father to accompany him on a business trip?"

Tao Nanfeng intimately held his father's arm: "Dad, the expansion project of the Kyoto Nishisei District Gymnasium is in tendering. Zhu Hongxing from the Kyoto Construction Engineering Bureau invited our design company to participate in the design bidding. I want to go, please accompany me."

Tao Shouxin asked about the situation and thought for a moment: "Okay."

It happened to be summer vacation, and Tao Shouxin had time, so it would be better to accompany her daughter to Kyoto for a walk. As for whether the project can be followed, Tao Shouxin felt it was not important.

The local construction project in Kyoto is also a face-saving project of the district government. It is definitely fierce competition. Where is the turn of Nanfeng Design and Consulting Company to win it?

"There is another person, who do you want to follow?"

Tao Nanfeng looked at his father: "Let Fan Zhicheng follow him. His hand-painted renderings are outstanding. If he wants to complete the bid in a short time, he will have an advantage in participating."

Tao Shouxin nodded: "You think of going with me."

Before graduating from graduate school, Fan Zhicheng once looked for Tao Nanfeng, hoping to join her newly opened design company, but Tao Nanfeng refused him.

Tao Nanfeng always remembers Li Shunmei's crying and helplessness. As a woman, Tao Nanfeng felt that Fan Zhicheng was not kind and did not want to have deeper interactions with him.

Even if he is talented and has a high education, Tao Nanfeng is unwilling to continue to cooperate with him.

But for some reason, since the acceptance of the fertilizer plant project, Fan Zhicheng's attitude towards Tao Nanfeng has become warm and pleasing. Giving an inappropriate analogy, it seems that the dog that had been lost for a long time finally found the owner and could not even be driven away.

After graduating from graduate school, Fan Zhicheng did not choose to go to Jiangcheng Architectural Design Institute, but stayed at school as an assistant teacher. As long as it was needed by Tao Nanfeng, he would be there on call whether it was hand-drawn renderings or data sorting.

Tao Nanfeng solicited opinions from Xiangbei.

Xiangbei has dealt with many people, and he has his own set of skills to identify people with people like Fan Zhicheng.

"You are recruiting talents when you start a company. He is talented and available. He has flaws in character, just don't make friends, just don't be friends. Fan Zhicheng was once insulted by men, and had psychological shadows. He was unable to marry and have children with women, and he could not walk calmly in the sun in this life. He has been looking for a big tree to rely on. Perhaps in his heart, you are that big tree."

Because of Xiangbei's words, Tao Nanfeng gradually let go of his guard and handed over some early design work to Fan Zhicheng. Seeing his excited appearance after getting the job, he really felt that he had a beautiful pet dog.

There is a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes and a delicate beauty.

Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin found Fan Zhicheng and handed him the hand-drawn map: "How about going to Kyoto together?"

Fan Zhicheng was entrusted with an important task by Tao Nanfeng for the first time. He couldn't believe his ears. His hands that took the map were trembling. He nodded excitedly: "Go! Go together!"

The feeling of happiness was unparalleled to be able to go on a business trip with Tao Nanfeng and watch her kill all over the world in a man's world.

Fan Zhicheng glanced at the map and curled his lips disgustedly: "Who did this draw the topographic map? It's so ugly! When I arrive in Kyoto, I will draw another one after I go to the scene, which will be a hundred times more beautiful than this one."

During his graduate school years, Fan Zhicheng supplemented the basic knowledge of architecture, but his strengths were still hand-painted architectural renderings. This was a skill he had learned since childhood, and no one could compete with him. He said that he would be a hundred times more beautiful, so he would definitely be a hundred times more beautiful.

Tao Nanfeng nodded: "Then you prepare your luggage, I'll ask Xiangbei to buy a sleeper ticket."

From Echeng to Kyoto, we took the green train to leave in the morning, slept on the train for one night, and arrived the next morning.

The weather is hot and there are all kinds of smells on the train. Fan Zhicheng is indifferent to outsiders and treats Li Shunmei even more heartlessly, but when he becomes attentive, he is really more thoughtful than the most enthusiastic waiter.

He saw Tao Nanfeng frowning and handed over a box of mint green grass paste: "If you apply a little under your nose, the smell will not be so irritating."

I served tea, water, dry food and snacks along the way, and took out a folding fan to help Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin fanned it, making it so comfortable to serve.

Tao Shouxin felt a little embarrassed and said, "You take a break, let's do it ourselves."

Fan Zhicheng's eyes were slightly red, and he fanned the air and said, "Teacher, please let me do something. I didn't do some things well before, which made you unhappy. I knew I was wrong. This time you were able to take me on a business trip because of your trust in me, and I must show off."

A middle-aged sister sitting opposite the bunk saw Fan Zhicheng beautifully and thought she was a couple with Tao Nanfeng. She smiled and said, "The couple has a good relationship. The young man is so sensible and considerate. You are lucky, girl."

Before Tao Nanfeng could explain, Fan Zhicheng first pulled down his face: "Auntie, are you not very good at your eyes? This is my boss!"

The middle-aged elder sister was stunned for a moment, her mouth turned into a round shape. Nowadays, young people are really good at playing, so why are they bosses? What bosses!

Tao Nanfeng looked at Fan Zhicheng: "Remember what you said."

Meeting Tao Nanfeng's gaze, Fan Zhicheng felt his heartbeat start to accelerate again. It was this domineering aura that made him willing to follow.

He quickly confessed: "I am just a teaching assistant in the school. I didn't schedule classes for me next semester anyway, so I just asked me to follow Teacher Huang to change homework and bring the design. The school paid me a salary, and I would call me if I had anything to do. I promise to be on call and have a good attitude."

After saying this, Fan Zhicheng might feel that his expression was not in place, so he added: "If the company has too much business, I need to resign from the school immediately. It doesn't matter how much salary you pay, just let me follow you."

Tao Shouxin coughed: "Xiao Fan, what about your future? Do you have any plans for your future? Your graduate students in this class are only more than 2,000, so how can you become a small follower?"

Fan Zhicheng smiled, his smile as beautiful as a dark night rose, revealing his sadness and sadness.

"My future? I had no future as early as when I was in Quanshan Farm. I took the postgraduate entrance examination just to get rid of all that. Now you don't dislike me and are willing to let me follow me. I am very grateful."

He looked at Tao Nanfeng solemnly, clenched his fist with his right hand on his chest, his eyes full of admiration and admiration.
