Why did that sound so familiar? Bai Lu recalled that Liang Feifan seemed to have said the same thing before.
Because she was high and mighty, she wasn't used to looking up and talking to people.
She walked over and sat in front of Buck cautiously. She gave him a polite smile and was about to explain that Liang Feifan had gone to the bathroom and would be back soon, but he beat her to it and spoke first.
"Your name is …?"
"My name is Bai Lu." He didn't even know her name, yet he gave her his business card and said that he wanted to take her in as his disciple?
Bai Lu was a little uneasy. Was there a misunderstanding?
"What's wrong? Are you a little disappointed that I can't remember your name? " Buck's ability to read people's expressions wasn't inferior to Liang Feifan's at all. He actually saw through Bai Lu's fleeting thought when she lowered her eyes.
She couldn't help but shrink her neck. "… No."
"Don't deny it. I can see clearly what you're thinking." Buck sneered without giving her face. He suddenly put down the blanket in his hands and slowly stood up from the sofa. Before Bai Lu could figure out what he wanted to do, he suddenly leaped over the coffee table and leaned over her.
Bai Lu was shocked and leaned back against the sofa. Buck didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. Instead, he moved closer. His eyes were slightly sinister and contained complex emotions that she couldn't fathom.
"… You're not bad looking, but you're not devastatingly beautiful. Do you think Cheng would take the initiative to give you …"
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and Buck's words were cut off before he could finish.
Bai Lu hurriedly stood up from the sofa. Naturally, she didn't forget to cautiously avoid Buck's sinister, handsome face.
Buck frowned. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Bai Lu's evasive expression. A man like him had the same pride as Liang Feifan. If ordinary women had the chance to see him, which one of them wouldn't rush forward and think of ways to take advantage of him?
This Bai Lu … She was very different. Look at her frightened face …
Buck snorted and pointed at Bai Lu, then at his own nose. His words were directed at Liang Feifan. "Do I look scary? She seems to have been frightened? "
Bai Lu hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "No … No, I just …"
"Put away your wanton behavior. Didn't you admire her design style and want to take her as your apprentice? Don't use the same tricks you used on other women on her. "
Liang Feifan interrupted Bai Lu's hesitant and lame explanation. He strode forward with his long legs and gave her a look that told her not to worry. He unbuttoned his suit and sat down gracefully.
"I've brought her here. You can talk about whatever you want. You can just ignore me." As he spoke, he took a wine glass from the coffee table and poured himself a glass of red wine. As he slowly tasted it, he thought of something and added, "Of course, if there's anything I can help with, I'll choose my words carefully."
Buck cursed in his heart!
Liang Feifan was an extremely boring man. He was the one who begged him to meet Bai Lu, but now he was acting like he was thirsty for knowledge in front of her.
Come on, he didn't need any apprentice, okay?
He had always been a loner. In recent years, there had been very few official works that had been released to the public.
Take in an apprentice?
That was really … boring!
It was a pity that because of his "greed", he decisively withdrew his "heart". Now that Liang Feifan was standing in front of him, Buck could only curse in his heart, but he couldn't just "break the contract" casually.
"Well, yes, I want to accept you as my apprentice," said Buck insincerely as he reached out and touched his nose.
He had never seen a man flirt with a girl like this. However, he was more interested in the fact that Liang Feifan would make a move on the girl next to him.
Bai Lu wasn't the kind of person who was stupid. She always felt that Buck was strange. He said that he wanted to accept her as his apprentice, but he looked unwilling. Every word he said was insincere. In addition, in the previous few reports about him, it seemed that he was a bit of a loner. He didn't seem like the kind of person who was willing to accept "students all over the world".
And … what was her standard?
Was he really interested in her?
When she found out that Buck wanted to accept her as his apprentice, she was indeed very excited. However, if it was really because of Liang Feifan …
Bai Lu struggled for a while in her heart. Finally, she said softly, "If you really want to teach me, I'm very happy … But I … I haven't been involved in the architectural design industry for many years … I'm afraid you won't be satisfied with my standard."
Liang Feifan leaned back on the sofa. When he heard this, he frowned slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Lu glanced at him.
He could see that she was hesitating. She was like this because she had been hiding in the world that belonged to her for too long.
She had always been cautious in her actions, so when someone suddenly wanted to drag her out of that world, she would look around and think about it. To put it bluntly, it was because she lacked confidence.
Liang Feifan unconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand.
Since he had already brought her on this path, he wouldn't allow her to shrink back!
For a moment, no one in the private room spoke. Liang Feifan put down the wine glass in his hand quietly and glanced at Buck.
The two men had been best friends for many years. Naturally, they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Buck couldn't help but roll his eyes. He put down the wine glass in resignation and straightened his body. This time, when he spoke, his tone was much more serious.
"Bai Lu, I've seen some of your designs before. When you were in university, you participated in a school design competition. But after all, those were designs from a long time ago. I heard that you were bidding for the design of the Municipal Party Building recently. Is that right? Did you bring it here? "
Bai Lu subconsciously tightened her handbag. Of course, she remembered that she had put the design in her bag before she left …
She bit her lip and secretly told herself that there was nothing to worry about.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it was the result of her painstaking efforts after staying up late. Moreover, it was such a good opportunity. Was she really going to give it up because of her fear?
No, she wanted to make a name for herself. She wanted to fulfill her dreams. She wanted to hold a pen in her hand and draw blueprints one after another. She also wanted everyone to remember her name …
These thoughts were like a ferocious tide, crashing against Bai Lu wave after wave.
All the uncertainty was finally washed away. She took a deep breath and opened her handbag. She took out the slightly wrinkled design and handed it to Buck.
"This is the sketch I just designed."
Buck reached out to take it. He narrowed his slightly devilish eyes and looked at it seriously.
Liang Feifan didn't say a word from beginning to end. At this moment, he also saw a flash of approval in the eyes of his picky friend.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
As expected, Liang Feifan didn't misjudge people.
Buck would be satisfied with her.
"Did you come up with this all by yourself?" Buck flicked the design in his hand and looked at Bai Lu. "How many days did you take?"
"I designed it all by myself. It took me about two days and two nights to complete."
"What do you think of this design?"
Bai Lu bit her lip and expressed her thoughts. "I've seen the design of the previous municipal building. I think that since the municipal building is going to be renovated, it can't be the same as before. I think that design is a little too conservative. Also, I know that the current secretary of City A is very young, so my starting point is to make the whole building not look like that rigid style. Instead, I want it to exude a kind of vitality and vitality and incorporate some new elements."
She paused and looked at Buck. He seemed to be looking at the drawing again, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Bai Lu's heart was pounding. Was he … not satisfied?
She instinctively looked at Liang Feifan and found that he was looking at her as well.
He was looking at her steadily. Bai Lu's heart pounded uncontrollably, but she didn't avoid his gaze like before. Instead, she saw a flash of light in the depths of his deep eyes.
She understood …
He was telling her not to shrink back, not to be afraid, and not to be uncertain about her own thoughts.
He was telling her to continue to bravely speak her mind. He was cheering her on!
Bai Lu felt a warm current in her heart. It seemed to sweep away all the negative energy in the depths of her heart.
She finally turned to look at Buck and said, "… But I feel that some of the details of my design are not handled well enough. I feel that something is missing, but I can't tell what it is."
Buck laughed. "When I saw your works in university, I only had one thought. You liked to incorporate certain things into your designs, such as feelings and preferences. Now that I'm looking at your design, this feeling is even stronger. You took into account the age of the Municipal Party Secretary and his preferences. I don't think many people would think this way. At most, they would think about the so-called style and grandeur. Once the design is out, it will seem unbearably tacky. Your design doesn't lack anything too obvious. As you said, it's just that some small details weren't handled well. You can go back and revise it. But design also has a soul. If you don't have confidence in it, it won't succeed. "
Bai Lu blinked. It was the first time Buck had said so much in front of her. Every word was very insightful. She couldn't wrap her head around it for a moment.
Did he … agree with her design philosophy?
