Chapter 179: First Meeting with Mei Lan

The next day.

Gao Yuan brought Lin Wanyu to Hangzhou Lanhe Decoration Company in the morning.

When renovating the Tianshang Renjian Club before, Gao Yuan was thinking about not using the renovation card first, and using the card for the renovation of the Science and Technology City.

Later, he rejected this idea.

The reason is actually very simple, it's too conspicuous!

Because the Tianshang Renjian Club has a previous decoration foundation, it can be said to be renovated, but Building 2 and Building 3 of the Science and Technology City are pure rough houses.

If the decoration is completed in a short period of time, unless there is a god decorating, he can't explain it no matter how he explains it.

On the other hand, Tianshang Renjian can be put into use before the end of the year after the decoration, and the benefits can be seen immediately, while the decoration of Buildings 2 and 3 is actually not urgent.

Whether it is the incubation center, the law firm, or the security company, they are still empty shells and need a certain amount of time to improve. This period of time is just right for slowly decorating.

As for the decoration company, Gao Yuan asked Li Lin.

As a local boss in Hangzhou, Li Lin actually knows a lot more than Gao Yuan. In order to reduce the cost of trial and error in selection, Gao Yuan didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Li Lin also understood Gao Yuan's purpose of looking for a decoration company. If he guessed correctly, it was to decorate the other two buildings in the Science and Technology City.

So he directly recommended Lanhe Decoration, and the reason was actually very simple.

First, Building No. 1 of the Science and Technology City was decorated by Lanhe Decoration, and the purpose of the decoration at that time was also to provide a model.

Second, his investment company had invested in Lanhe Decoration, and it had a large stake.

Li Lin did not hide these and told Gao Yuan directly.

When Gao Yuan heard that Building No. 1 of the Science and Technology City was decorated by Lanhe, his eyes lit up.

He was very satisfied with the overall decoration of Building No. 1, especially the entire space design, which gave people a very comfortable feeling and did not make people feel depressed.

Of course, Gao Yuan would not choose Lanhe Decoration casually. He also learned about it before coming.

Lanhe Decoration is a decoration company with national first-level qualifications, Class A design qualifications, a member unit of the National Decoration Association, and its headquarters is in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou.

This decoration company mainly provides some enterprise-level services, such as large-scale decoration projects such as office buildings and parks.

Unlike some companies that have a good reputation, they are mainly home decoration, and the largest project they do is just villa decoration and renovation.

So Gao Yuan has already tended to choose Lanhe Decoration in his heart.

Even so, Gao Yuan felt that he had to come and see it again.

The purpose of the visit is not to examine the professionalism of Lanhe Decoration, but to see the decoration and service of Lanhe Decoration's own company.

Generally, a lot can be seen from the performance of employees, which will also be the reason for Gao Yuan to choose this company.

After parking the car in the parking lot, Gao Yuan took Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing to the lobby of the Ocean Terminal, and he saw Ling Yue who was already waiting here.

This is also the address he sent to Ling Yue today. Yesterday, they agreed to go to see the decoration together, so he called Ling Yue here today.

Moreover, the design funds for the decoration of the two buildings are at least tens of millions, and with Ling Yue, a big lawyer, they can get free contract consultation.

However,

when Gao Yuan saw Ling Yue, he found that Ling Yue's eyes were a bit dark.

Ling Yue is a little different from other women. She never wears makeup and only uses skin care products, so Gao Yuan can tell that she didn't sleep well last night.

"Did you sleep well last night because you were so excited?"

Gao Yuan and Ling Yue made a joke.

"Fortunately, I worked on the plan overnight."

Ling Yue glanced at Gao Yuan and said coldly.

She did not sleep all night last night, and she was indeed working on the plan for the law firm, but she did more than just these things.

Maybe it was because she was ovulating these days, or maybe it was because she told Gao Yuan yesterday that she could give birth to a child for Gao Yuan, so she secretly did something bad last night.

Just now, when she saw Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing next to Gao Yuan, she cursed Gao Yuan in her heart again, saying that he was a scumbag and a playboy.

But it was also because of what she said yesterday that she felt a little hot on her face.

Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing also knew Ling Yue. Last night, he told them that he wanted to open a law firm in Yuanfang with Ling Yue, so Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing didn't care.

Mainly in the minds of Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, Ling Yue is not Gao Yuan's type. As women, they all think Ling Yue is too cold, and few men should like her.

The four of them took the elevator directly to the 12th floor.

Lanhe Decoration has a full 4 floors of office area in Hisense Building. These four floors were bought by Lanhe itself, so Lanhe remodeled and redesigned these four floors.

Gao Yuan walked into the lobby reception of Lanhe Decoration and found that their decoration was really unique. Various elements were combined to form a postmodern style.

The overall sense of space is very strong and full of simple beauty, which is in line with Gao Yuan's positioning of the decoration of the science and technology city.

As soon as the four people came in, the beautiful woman at the front desk warmly received them and asked if they had an appointment with a designer.

After Gao Yuan said that he had no appointment, the beautiful woman smiled and took them to a secluded reception area the day before yesterday. Then, after learning that Gao Yuan was preparing to decorate the office building, she said that she could recommend a designer to him first.

Next, the beautiful receptionist enthusiastically brewed a pot of tea for the four people and placed it on the table. After asking them to wait for a moment, she began to help Gao Yuan contact the designer.

"Shuishui, come to the front desk, there's a new client."

"I tell you, he's super handsome, and judging by the outfit, he's definitely a big client."

The beautiful receptionist came directly to the designer area, ran to a young girl and whispered in her ear.

The girl named Shuishui stopped her work immediately after hearing what the receptionist said, pulled the receptionist and walked out.

"Qingqing, is there really a big client?"

Shuishui asked with some excitement.

"Definitely a big client, don't you believe my eyes?"

"The four people, the clothes they wear are estimated to be worth a small million!"

"And they are decorating office buildings."

The receptionist Qingqing curled her lips and said to Shuishui beside her with a little dissatisfaction.

She has a good relationship with this designer named Shuishui. Both of them just graduated from college and applied for Lanhe Decoration.

It's just that Qingqing came here to meet a single bachelor, while Shuishui came here to display her design ambitions.

Unfortunately, the wishes of both girls were not fulfilled.

Qingqing did not meet her prince charming here, but met many middle-aged greasy men, and Shuishui did not have the opportunity to show her design ambitions. She was busy drawing for other designers every day.

Her design concept may be too unrealistic and not recognized by customers.

"Let's take you there. You should grasp it well."

Qingqing said, took Shuishui's hand and walked towards the reception room.

Gao Yuan poured a cup of tea for the three people. Seeing that the tea was made of small green oranges, Gao Yuan liked it very much and was satisfied with the taste of this company.

He just tasted it and found that the tea was not bad. It was not the kind of low-end and inferior tea that was used to deal with people. This company really put in a lot of effort and did a good job in details.

The three people were tasting tea, and the beautiful receptionist Qingqing knocked on the door and came in. Gao Yuan saw a girl behind her, who should be the designer to be introduced to them.

Although this girl looked younger and immature, Gao Yuan admired her fashion sense very much, and he did not look down on this designer because she was young.

He had met some young people in the company before. Although they were not very experienced, their ideas were very advanced.

"Mr. Gao, this is the designer Ren Shui I recommend to you. If you are not satisfied with anything, I can recommend a new designer to you."

Qingqing said this to Gao Yuan in front of his friends.

This is Lanhe's requirement. Every receptionist must say this to customers. The purpose is to help customers choose the most suitable designer.

It is also to reduce customer loss.

After seeing Gao Yuan nod and leave, Qingqing also walked out of the reception room. Before leaving, she gave Shui Shui a cheering look.

"Hello, Mr. Gao, I am Lanhe designer Ren Shui. It is an honor to serve you."

After Qingqing left, Ren Shui stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying to Gao Yuan.

"Sit down, let's talk."

Gao Yuan nodded.

"Mr. Gao, where is the office building you need to decorate?"

After Ren Shui sat down, he took out an office tablet and began to record and inquire about Gao Yuan's requirements.

"Xiaoshan Science and Technology City."

Ren Shui's pen paused for a moment, then quickly recorded again, and his expression became more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Gao, the office building price in Xiaoshan Science and Technology City is the highest in Hangzhou, and it is sold by the whole floor. You not only have a good vision, but also have such strong strength."

"The entire building No. 1 of Xiaoshan Science and Technology City is designed and decorated by our company. I can show you our single-floor decoration design drawings."

Gao Yuan flipped through the tablet that Ren Shui handed over. It was basically the same as the physical decoration he saw in Building 1. After flipping through it a few times, he pushed the tablet to Ren Shui again.

"I also want to decorate the whole building, not a certain floor."

Gao Yuan said lightly.

"It's okay, we all have experience."

Ren Shui just said a sentence, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Mr. Gao was not talking about a certain floor, but the decoration of the whole building.

This means that Mr. Gao bought the entire six-story building!

Ren Shui had learned about this project of the company before. It would cost nearly 200 million to buy a whole building, and the decoration is definitely a big project.

Even for Lanhe Company, even if there is only one such project in a year, it can be full.

As the chief designer, it goes without saying.

Ren Shui opened her mouth slightly, couldn't help but take a breath, and apologized to Gao Yuan repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to renovate the whole building."

"I can't make the decision on this project, I need to report to our design director and boss."

Ren Shui didn't get carried away because it was a big project. She knew very well that she couldn't complete such a big project independently.

Although she had some ideas in design, her experience was indeed not as good as those old designers in the company.

Especially the Xiaoshan Science and Technology City project, which was a project that the company had done. She couldn't compete with those old designers, and such a big project would not be handed over to a new designer from the company's perspective.

"Mr. Gao, can you tell me the decoration style and decoration budget you want?"

Ren Shui couldn't help asking.

Although she knew that she might not be the chief designer, she still wanted to participate in this project. If she followed the whole project, she felt that she would be able to absorb a lot of experience.

This is much better than sitting in the office to assist other designers in doing some scattered work.

"Let's use the Chinese minimalist style!"

This is the decoration style of the incubation center. Because the secret recipe is a Chinese medicine secret recipe, if it is a modern minimalist style, it will be a bit out of place.

And the Chinese decoration style will appear more majestic and heavier.

"As for the decoration budget, let's start with 50 million."

Ren Shui secretly smacked her lips.

She was shocked and the whole person was a little absent-minded.

The decoration budget started at 50 million. The cost of the decoration of Xiaoshan Science and Technology City was only 30 million before. Mr. Gao actually increased the decoration funds by 20 million at once.

This financial resources really fits this outfit!

"Mr. Gao, please wait a moment. I need to report."

Ren Shui stood up and bowed to Gao Yuan. After seeing Gao Yuan nod, he turned and left the reception room.

In fact, Gao Yuan didn't think the decoration budget was high. After all, it was a Chinese-style decoration, which was different from a modern-style decoration.

Many things had to be customized, and in order to show off their style, some things were not simply placed, but had to form a complete system.

This not only tested the designer's design ability and cultural heritage, but also the ability of the decoration company.

Ren Shui went straight to the design director's office after leaving the reception room. When he told the design director about the matter, the design director confirmed the authenticity of the matter again and again, and took her directly to the boss's office.

As the design director, Li Yong felt that this matter was beyond his decision-making scope and must be reported to the boss.

But he was very smart. Because he had not met Gao Yuan, he was not sure whether this matter was 100% true, so he took Ren Shui directly.

When talking about this matter later, Ren Shui must be asked to talk about it. If there is any problem, it is Ren Shui's fault.

What Li Yong didn't expect was that when he brought Ren Shui to the boss' office, after Ren Shui reported to the boss, the boss immediately stopped his work, stood up and said, "Let's go, the distinguished guest is here."

Li Yong didn't know, but Mei Lan, the boss of Lanhe, knew exactly what was going on.

This morning, Li Lin called her and told her that Gao Yuan might come to Lanhe for inspection and asked her to receive him well.

He also told her that this might be a big project of two buildings in Xiaoshan Science and Technology City, and specifically told Mei Lan not to ask for too much.

But Mei Lan felt different. Li Lin was also a shareholder of Lanhe, and he basically didn't interfere with the management of Lanhe.

Today, he told her so carefully to receive Gao Yuan well and not to ask for too much, which meant that a meager profit would be enough.

This was not like the eldest son of the Li family she knew.

So this morning, Mei Lan also learned about the Yuanfang Company mentioned by Li Lin.

This understanding found that Gao Yuan was really amazing. He had been so successful in just over a month as a skin care company.

But she always felt that Li Lin would not have such an attitude just because of such a company. There must be something behind this that she didn't know, or something that Li Lin was hiding from her.

Mei Lan walked towards the reception room that Ren Shui mentioned. Whether it was because of Li Lin's instructions or because of the big project brought by Gao Yuan, she, as the boss, had to receive Gao Yuan well.

Gao Yuan and others were drinking tea and chatting in the reception room. He had a very good impression of Lanhe Decoration through Ren Shui's performance just now. As long as Lanhe's design plan and decoration costs were not a big problem in the future, he would most likely book here.

Gao Yuan had just finished a cup of tea when the door of the reception room was pushed open.

After Ren Shui pushed open the door of the reception room, he stood aside, and a tall and mature woman walked in.

She was wearing a black professional suit, with a cool and cold face and a slightly charming look. Her gestures revealed a calmness that was not surprised by praise or criticism and a calmness that left no trace.

Gao Yuan could see that this woman had well-maintained skin, her skin was white and tender as if it had been soaked in milk. Judging from the condition of her skin, she looked less than 30 years old.

But Gao Yuan noticed the traces of time left between her eyes and eyebrows.

This is a mature woman, and an elegant one at that.

Ren Shui walked between Mei Lan and Gao Yuan and introduced Gao Yuan with a smile: "Boss Gao, this is Boss Mei from our Lanhe Decoration."

"This is..."

Before Ren Shui finished the introduction, Mei Lan stepped forward and stretched out her white hands to Gao Yuan.

"Boss Gao, welcome to Lanhe."

"My name is Mei Lan, you can just call me by my name."

Mei Lan showed Gao Yuan a very beautiful smile, which made Gao Yuan have a good first impression of her.

When he entered Lanhe Company just now, he felt that the entire design style was very good. At that time, he thought that the boss of Lanhe had good aesthetics and taste.

Unexpectedly, the boss was also a mature and royal sister, which was very suitable for Gao Yuan's taste. He couldn't help but reveal a gleam in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Mei. Your company is doing great in the industry. Mr. Li also strongly recommended it, so I took the initiative to visit you."

After a few polite words, Gao Yuan and his four companions, led by Mei Lan, came to Lanhe's meeting room.

This time, Mei Lan presided over the meeting herself.

The four people on Gao Yuan's side were naturally the audience, the ones who made the request.

Besides Mei Lan, the other attendees at Lanhe were the design director Li Yong, the chief designer Zhao Mingqing who completed the design of Building 1 of Science and Technology City last time, and Qi Dong, the construction director of Lanhe.

Originally, Ren Shui was not qualified to attend such a meeting. When Ren Shui served everyone and was about to leave, he was stopped by Gao Yuan.

"This designer should stay!"

Although Mei Lan was a little surprised by Gao Yuan's request, she still smiled and let Ren Shui stay.

The customer's requirements are always the first criterion, not to mention that Gao Yuan was the person Li Lin had asked to receive well.

Ren Shui nodded obediently and sat at the end of the conference table. She showed a grateful look to Gao Yuan.

This scene made Lin Wanyu have some ideas, and she couldn't help but look at Ren Shui a few more times.

But soon, Lin Wanyu's attention was on Mei Lan.
