At this moment, Su Zhiyu had left Buckingham Palace and came to the old house photographed by her mother Du Haiqing.
Du Haiqing has contacted a local decoration company and plans to renovate this old house. She also hopes to move here for a while after the renovation is completed as soon as possible, so she is very concerned about this matter.
When Su Zhiyu arrived in front of the old house, Du Haiqing was in the yard, happily telling a designer about his renovation plan.
Su Zhiyu saw her mother's happy face through the fence gate, and felt extremely relieved.
She knew that now, her mother really wanted to live for herself.
Not just mom.
She felt that from now on, she should live for herself, no longer be bound by any ties to the Su family, and work hard to live the way she wanted.
Du Haiqing was explaining the design direction he wanted to the designer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his daughter standing at the entrance of the courtyard. He was surprised and hurriedly waved to her: "Zhiyu, come here quickly!"
Su Zhiyu smiled and pushed open the door and asked Du Haiqing: "Mom, have you decided how to decorate it?"
Du Haiqing nodded, pointed to the young female designer next to him, and said happily: "Xiao Wang and I have almost communicated. The decoration ideas are mainly nostalgic. Mom still hopes to have some sense of the times."
Su Zhiyu said with a smile: "Then use modern materials and techniques and carry out construction according to the style of twenty years ago. Today's materials and techniques have been greatly improved as a whole, which can also ensure quality, environmental protection and comfort."
Sex."
The female designer on the side nodded repeatedly and said: "You are right. Our general idea now is to use modern materials and techniques to create a nostalgic and retro style, and then try to make this old house more comfortable and livable."
After saying that, the female designer said again: "By the way, Aunt Du. Your specific design plan will have to wait for our boss to come up with a set of detailed design drawings, especially some functional parts. We have to let our boss think about it."
We have to do a good job in concealing the project. You want this retro style, so we have to make the self-heating, central air conditioning, fresh air system and wireless network as concealed as possible, otherwise it will look very obtrusive."
Du Haiqing said with a smile: "By the way, Xiao Wang, your boss gave me a general idea that day, saying that the current wooden beams can be replaced with metal structures, and then sprayed with wood. In this way, it will look like wood.
There is no difference between the roof beams, and the middle of the metal structure can be used to get out the air ducts, and the air outlets are made exactly the same color as the roof beams. As for the fresh air system, ground air supply is used and the air outlets are hidden in the skirting.
I think this plan is quite reliable. Please tell your boss and help me refine the specific plan. It would be best if you could make a rendering for me."
The female designer said without hesitation: "Okay Aunt Du, I will tell our boss when I get back and try to make these projects as concealed as possible."
After saying that, she asked again: "By the way, Aunt Du, do you really not want to harden the ground in the yard? It is difficult to take care of this kind of dirt ground when it rains."
Du Haiqing waved his hand: "Except for the roads leading in and out, I won't do any hardening. When spring comes, I will spread some grass seeds. When the lawn grows up, it will be very beautiful."
After saying that, she asked again: "By the way, Xiao Wang, are you a native of Jinling?"
The other party nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Du, my home is only a few kilometers away from here."
Du Haiqing pointed to the wall of the house and the withered wall-creepers on the courtyard fence, and asked: "Do you think these wall-creepers can still grow back in spring? This house has been idle for a long time. I really don't know what these wall-creepers are."
The wall tiger is dead or alive."
The female designer smiled and said: "Aunt Du, the wall-creeping tiger has a very strong vitality in our Jiangnan. Even though it seems like a dead branch when the weather is cold, new buds will grow when spring comes. In midsummer,
When it was 1987, the front wall could be covered with climbing. This old red brick house with green wall creepers is so beautiful!"
After a pause, the female designer added: "Moreover, if there is a wall-creeper, the effect of heat insulation and sun protection is particularly good. In summer, the temperature in the house can be lowered by several degrees."
At this time, Du Haiqing seemed to have seen the lush green appearance of wall-climbing tigers. He couldn't hide his excitement and said: "That's great! Then the grass in the yard will also be a large area of green, matching the red brick wall in the yard.
, the bluestone road and the walls full of wall-creepers, you know it must be very beautiful just thinking about it!”
The female designer nodded and said: "The bluestone path in your yard will grow moss after it rains in the summer, which will make it more beautiful. But you must be careful when walking to avoid slipping."
With that said, the female designer looked at the time and said: "Aunt Du, I understand almost all your needs. Otherwise, I will go back and communicate with our boss first and give you the design plan as soon as possible.
I hope you can move in during the summer."
"No problem." Du Haiqing said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wang. If there is any progress, please call me anytime."
"Okay." The female designer nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first, Aunt Du."
"I send you!"
Du Haiqing sent the female designer to the door and then turned back.
Seeing Su Zhiyu looking at the yard longingly, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhiyu, what are you looking at?"
Su Zhiyu couldn't hide her longing and said: "Mom, please give me a room when the time comes. I also want to live here with you!"
Du Haiqing smiled and said: "It's okay to stay in a room, but don't forget. Harvard Business School starts in August. Didn't you plan to leave in May?"
Su Zhiyu's expression suddenly became hesitant.
She hesitated and struggled for a moment, then plucked up the courage and said seriously: "Mom, I have carefully considered not going to Harvard."
Du Haiqing didn't seem surprised by her decision and asked calmly: "Have you thought about it clearly?"
"Think clearly!" Su Zhiyu nodded and said firmly: "I went to see my benefactor today and have decided to cooperate with him in the ocean shipping business. By then I will package and integrate the entire ocean shipping group.
Hold 49% of the shares and be the second shareholder.”
Du Haiqing nodded slightly and said: "Ye Chen's character and ability can be trusted. You can completely hand over all the resources in your hands to him for operation, and you can finish your studies on your own."
Su Zhiyu shook his head and said: "My benefactor has just started to work in this field. It is a time when there is a shortage of people. If I go to school at this time, wouldn't I be unable to help him? So I still want to stay and follow him when the time comes.
The person in charge there will work together to run this business well."
Du Haiqing looked at his daughter, smiled knowingly, and said, "After saying so much, you actually want to stay because of Ye Chen, right?"
Su Zhiyu didn't expect that even though she had packed so much and explained so much, her mother would still see through it at a glance.
So, she stopped covering up and nodded lightly.
Du Haiqing sighed, touched her hand, and said seriously: "Mom has tasted regret and unwillingness, so no matter whether the result is good or bad, since you have decided, just go ahead and do it! No matter what, Mom
