April 15th, Friday …
In the company's guest room …
Liang Qingfan handed a tablet computer to Pei Qian. "Boss Pei, these are my simple renovation plans. Take a look and see which one you're most satisfied with."
After Boss Pei took the tablet computer, Liang Qingfan picked up his teacup and took a sip. He savored the sweet aftertaste of the tea with a proud look on his face.
He was very satisfied with most of the plans he had provided.
He did not know why, but he was suddenly inspired when he saw this suite. He did not rest much after returning to the hotel and immediately started working. He was so busy that he managed to rush out a few renderings. After discussing them with everyone in the workspace, he showed them to Boss Pei.
Liang Qingfan was very attentive to the design work this time. On one hand, Boss Pei had given him a high design fee. On the other hand, as a young designer, Liang Qingfan did not have many opportunities to be in charge of such projects. He had to grab hold of them.
Every work he produced would become his name card to introduce himself to the outside world.
Liang Qingfan was very confident. He believed that every client would eventually be subdued by his design!
Pei Qian took the tablet computer. There were a few renderings on it.
As he looked, Liang Qingfan introduced them.
All of the designs were minimalist. There was neither a magnificent baller's style nor a gaudy 'garden house' style. From this point alone, Liang Qingfan had listened to Pei Qian's requests seriously.
However, even though they were all minimalist, the renderings looked very different.
In the first picture, white and brown were the main colors, creating a warm feeling. The furniture was minimalist. The brown cabinets on the other side of the TV wall had a lot of storage space. However, the storage space was well hidden and not easily discovered.
At a glance, the entire space was clean and tidy. It was very stylish.
Liang Qingfan introduced. "This style fully takes into account the needs of the tenants' daily use while adhering to minimalism.
"Considering that our apartment has four bedrooms and that it's a rental apartment, we'll definitely need a lot of storage space if there are many people living here."
"However, storage space and minimalism are contradictory to each other. So, through the design, I hid all the storage space well. "
"Tenants living here will not only be able to experience a high-end, minimalist, and modern lifestyle, but the convenience of life will not be affected. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. It will definitely be very popular among young people."
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "Pass."
This design was too considerate of the tenants. Pei Qian could almost see the scene of the petty bourgeois tenants who would rather spend more money to move in. Of course, he had to reject it.
This was the minimalist style that ordinary people would accept the most. Coupled with so many storage spaces, the consequences were unimaginable.
Liang Qingfan: "…"
Liang Qingfan felt a little discouraged when his proposal was rejected right off the bat.
However, he quickly adjusted himself.
"Well, although these storage spaces are well hidden, there is still a certain conflict with the concept of minimalism. It's easy to create a sense of cheap."
"Boss Pei, it's reasonable that you don't like them.
"Please continue reading," Ye Zichen said.
Pei Qian flipped to the next picture.
This time, it was still minimalist, but the color scheme was bolder. The overall color was gray and green. It was very simple, but it gave off a sense of luxury and quality. 'See this chapter.'
The choice of furniture and decoration was also more low-key, stable, and heavy. It was similar to the style of some high-end hotel suites. 'See this chapter.'
Liang Qingfan introduced. "This set is extremely high-end gray. It highlights a light luxury and high-end style. This style of decoration is not targeted at ordinary petty bourgeois groups. It is targeted at older, middle-aged successful businessmen. "
Pei Qian: "Pass."
It was obvious that middle-aged businessmen would like this style. It would be easier for them to get into trouble.
Liang Qingfan: "…"
Liang Qingfan suffered a slight blow when he was denied yet again.
In his opinion, Sloth Apartments was definitely going to be a boutique apartment. There were only two types of people. One was white-collar workers who pursued a quality life, and the other was business people who needed to go to Jingzhou for business.
In the end, Boss Pei rejected both proposals.
What kind of style did Boss Pei like?
Liang Qingfan was a little confused, but he did not ask.
That was because he had prepared other styles. There was bound to be one that Boss Pei liked.
Pei Qian flipped to the next picture.
This time, it was mainly black and white. The contrast was very clear. One could feel a strong artistic aura through the picture. It seemed to be a style that high-end designers would like. 'See this chapter.'
There was a sense of zen in it at the same time. It was very helpful for inspiration. 'See this chapter.'
Pei Qian felt that Ruan Guangjian would like this set.
Before Liang Qingfan could explain, Pei Qian had already swiped over.
“pass。”
This style was less practical than the first, but it was more attractive to white-collar workers and petty bourgeois. It could be seen as an enhanced version of the first style.
Still not!
Liang Qingfan opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He personally liked this set the most and felt that it was the most high-quality. Yet, Boss Pei had swiped it over without even asking. That was a huge blow to him.
At the same time, he had deep questions and confusion.
What kind of style did Boss Pei like?
These were all good minimalistic styles. Even if Boss Pei was not satisfied, he could have asked me to change some details. What did he mean by just passing it over?
Liang Qingfan did not have the energy to explain. Boss Pei was probably going to reject all the proposals this time. He would ask Boss Pei about his requirements after he rejected them all.
However, after swiping through the pictures again, Pei Qian stopped at the last set.
In the extremely wide and empty space, there was only a huge television hanging on the wall, a television cabinet that was only as tall as a drawer, and a long, dark-colored sofa. 'See this chapter.'
Apart from that, there was a pure black table and two pure black chairs beside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The entire place looked like an empty exhibition hall.
Apart from the two small cabinets in the corner, there was almost no storage space.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and pointed at the cabinets, the small table, and the pure black chairs. "This set is not bad. However, you have to get rid of all these as well. "
The television cabinet was stuffed with game consoles and game discs. The sofa was used for playing games. Of course, he had to keep all of these.
As for the other storage space and small chairs, he did not want any of them!
To most people, the more storage space, the better. That was because most people could not control their desire to chop off their hands. They could not help but want to buy, buy, buy.
As they bought, they would not be able to keep everything in the house.
Once there was too much junk, it would look messy no matter where it was piled. Thus, he had to store everything in his storage space so that the house would look tidy.
However, Pei Qian wanted to dissuade these white-collar workers and petty bourgeoisie. He wanted to tell them not to move in!
Of course, that was not enough. Pei Qian realized that he had to add another clause to the Sloth Apartments contract: they were not allowed to buy their own furniture.
That way, the practicality of the house would be completely zero. Even if it looked good, the high price and poor practicality would be enough to dissuade most tenants!
Liang Qingfan did not know what to say at that moment.
This picture was his original design, but he quickly rejected it.
That was because he felt that the so-called minimalist style did not mean that the house had four bare walls.
When he first conceived the minimalist style, he considered it with pure artistic thinking. The color scheme and layout of this picture were all based on this consideration.
However, the problem was that it was too impractical. Even if Liang Qingfan added some simple cabinets, tables, and chairs to this style, he still felt that it was impractical and difficult to live in.
In the end, Boss Pei directly destroyed the small cabinets, tables, and chairs!
That way, there was almost no storage space in the entire design. Only the bedroom wardrobe and the kitchen cabinets were left. It was truly 'four bare walls'.
Liang Qingfan looked at Boss Pei uncertainly.
Boss Pei gave him a very certain look back.
"Just install it according to this style. The budget is still the same as before. It can only be more, not less."
Pei Qian handed the tablet back to Liang Qingfan.
Looking at Liang Qingfan's confused look, Pei Qian was even more certain that he had made the right choice!
To Pei Qian, he did not need storage space at all. His clothes could be placed in the wardrobe. The other miscellaneous items could be thrown away as much as possible. There was no need to bring them to the new house.
Although the house really looked like four bare walls, Pei Qian's gaming needs had been satisfied. That was good enough.
It was better if others felt that it was impractical!
Liang Qingfan looked at the last rendering and quickly thought about the reason in his mind.
"Could it be that Boss Pei wanted to renovate the house into this ultimate minimalist style just because of aesthetic considerations? Hmm, from an artistic point of view, without the storage cabinets and other unnecessary items, the entire space does indeed have a unique sense of beauty.
"That's right. After all, this is a design that I made when I was most inspired. Of course, it would have a sense of beauty.
"If Boss Pei's own house was decorated like this, I would not be surprised at all. Instead, I would think that Boss Pei has very good taste.
"However, this house is for rent …
"He did not consider practicality at all and only pursued the ultimate in aesthetics. Would anyone really rent this house?
"What's more, the budget can only be more, not less. It's so minimalist, and there are only a few pieces of furniture in total. It would be difficult to spend money even if I wanted to … I can only look at those big international brands."
Many thoughts flashed through Liang Qingfan's mind in a very short period of time. However, looking at Boss Pei's determined gaze, he buried all these thoughts deep in his heart.
"Alright, Boss Pei, we'll do it according to this style!"
