Assistant Architect

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Siyi chose to work directly after graduation. Without economic independence, there is no real freedom. The big boy in his twenties does not want to As soon as possible, embark on the ambition of the society to show ambition, which one does not want to stand on their own feet?

Liao Jun also very much recognizes Zhang Siyi's statement, but for the work with stable income, he also put forward his own concept: "In fact, I was very happy when I was working on wages, although I would reflect from time to time whether this is the life I want. However, when the salary is paid at the beginning of the month, and I have money in my hand, I feel that I can still support it for a while, and the more I am more and more arrogant, I am too lazy to change... because the sweetness of a little interest is trapped in the abyss, gradually Numbness, in the effort to choose to follow the tide, have passed and now, in retrospect, that feeling is really terrible. So I think it depends on the situation, if you do not do what you want to do, even in a short time This economic independence will also regret later. It is better to take a long-term view and endure the short-term poverty to lay the foundation. It is to grind one's own heart. In fact, three years have passed."

Zhang Siyi listened to Liao Jun’s words and was deeply touched. He could not help but reflect on his current state of life.

Indeed, Zhang Siyi, who has been able to work alone for all kinds of small projects, seems to be in the workplace and grows fast, but he knows that as time progressed and the number of projects increased, what he learned during his undergraduate studies. It has gradually become insufficient, and there seems to be a hurdle to keep him further.

Of course, Zhang Siyi also wants to go to the master's degree. This is no longer an impulsive choice. However, under the premise of being unwilling to be separated from Gu Yu, his decision seems to have entered an endless period of delay.

One day I will go back to my master's degree – what day is it? Thirty years old? Thirty-five?

So day after day, Zhang Siyi can already foresee six years later, he went to the age of Gu Yu, still the same as now, can only live under the wings of Gu Yu, do the other small class...

Knowing that someone will always protect themselves, it is easy to not make progress.

Thinking of this, Zhang Siyi fell into deep self-blame and panic.

He couldn't help but ask Liao Jun: "How did you decide later?"

"I went to ask the friends who are studying for masters and the seniors of the school, and asked them if they had a master's degree." Liao Jun smiled and said, "Almost no one said that there is no regret, I also suggested that I miss it. The workplace has been mixed for a long time, and people are prone to impetuousness. It is difficult to calm down and learn. Because work is efficient, most of the time there is not enough time to think about the process, and it is impossible to have a complete time to build a knowledge system."

Zhang Siyi stunned, Liao Jun said very well. For example, when he first joined the company, Gu Yu asked him and Du Yuxuan to do the youth apartment project. They asked for a plan for a long time, but during the reading period, they had a lot of time to repeatedly scrutinize and carry out a design. Thinking, this is a vivid example.

"And sometimes, our hesitation may just be afraid of leaving the comfort brought by the original environment..." Liao Jun bowed his head and drank the soup. "So, it’s still a good time to lay the foundations for a lifetime, anyway. It is to go this route."

After eating and returning to the hotel, Zhang Siyi was lying in bed, his brain was mixed, all the words that Liao Jun said when he was eating at noon.

The rain outside is getting bigger and bigger, pattering and floating on the glass window, like using a pencil to arrange a string of sketch lines on the paper.

Liao Jun sat cross-legged on the side of the shop, in contrast to the survey of the ancient city project real shot photos, slowly looked at a Qing Dynasty architectural style atlas...

In such a quiet and gloomy afternoon, Zhang Siyi began to think about the decision to "make a master's degree" in a real sense.

The next morning, the day was still a bit gloomy. Several people resumed their work and continued to conduct surveys and surveys.

Zhang Siyi quietly observed Liao Jun, seeing that he carefully recorded each set of measurement data in the process, and asked Mr. Cui if he didn't understand. During the exchange, they discussed the architectural style of the ancient city transformation by speculating the age of the existing monuments and the city history of X city.

Zhang Siyi studied abroad, did not read the history of Chinese architecture, and thought that ancient Chinese architecture is similar. After this investigation, it was known that different buildings of different dynasties have different styles, and folk architecture and royal architecture have great differences. .

The style adopted by Gu Jian is not based on the preferences of the architects, but has a rigorous process of deduction and reflection. For example, many ancient buildings in Xi'an have imitation Tang traces, and their buildings are magnificent and magnificent. The components are more rude and simple than the Yuan and Ming dynasties. These are all derived from the prosperity of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Their historical origins are in the urban construction of later generations. profound influence.

This is the importance of professional depth, the difference between experts and non-experts.

If this ancient city reconstruction project is done by Zhang Siyi, he will know more ways of designing and do not know where to start.

When designing, Liao Jun and Ye students, who are studying by graduate students, think more than him, and dig deeper. This way of thinking, which is formed after continuous polishing, will last a lifetime, leading them to see problems more clearly than those who read less.

I didn’t pay attention to it before, and after a few days of feeling, Zhang Siyi was more and more awe-inspiring, and the more he was rushing to the status quo after he fell behind.

He seems to have slowly realized where the gap between himself and Tao Fei is. Although Tao Fei has only one and a half years of master's degree compared with him, but only through work, Zhang Siyi and Tao Fei will not be within two years. Disappeared because Tao Fei progressed faster than him.

A graduate is the person in charge of a large-scale project. It is estimated that the other party can directly assume the same type of work as Gu Yu.

But can Zhang Siyi be able? Even if he is given him for three or five years, he can't. Because of this postgraduate study, the two people's vision and pattern are different.

After returning to the hotel these evenings, Zhang Siyi began to search for part2's application time, specific procedures and candidate institutions.

If you want to enroll in September next year, you have to start preparing now, and the time is not enough.

The arch of the alma mater c should be the easiest to apply. The school has a policy to give priority to the undergraduate students of the school. What's more, Zhang Siyi takes the undergraduate degree of 2.1, and the grade is not bad.

However, Zhang Siyi, who has a strict and rigorous style, is very familiar with it. He thinks that it is possible to change his horizons to a larger degree in a different education style, so he has targeted the other two institutions.

Among them, the most prestigious in the British construction industry is the A major graduated by Tao Fei, and many internationally renowned architects have also studied here.

However, Tao Fei is only a one-year mA course, and the real gold content is the part2 course approved by rIBA, which is the last two years of the five-year diploma.

However, the application for this course is as difficult as the sky, with Zhang Siyi's undergraduate level, 70% or 80% may be brushed off.

But thinking about the progress during his work, Zhang Siyi still feels that he can try his luck.

The other one is the B big graduate of Yurui. I don’t want to talk about the negative influence of Qi Rui in the student circle. B is indeed a school that is worth going to. It’s just the same. The applied degree is different and the value is different. After the goal, Zhang Siyi encountered the second question, money.

In addition to C, A and B are mostly in London. In addition to high tuition fees, he will face huge living expenses. Zhang Siyi has a slight budget. If you have a master's degree in two years, you need to be as little as 500,000 or 1 million. The cost.

Until he really planned, he realized that the money could not be earned at a time because of his own ability. Therefore, when he thought about making enough money to read it, he only deceived himself and delayed his nephew.

Zhang Siyi bit his face and lie down on the side... What to do, and then open to the parents?

This is the first thought in his mind. Although he used to support his self-respect and face in front of his father, when he really needs the economy, he instinctively thinks about his loved ones, just because he It is their son who knows that parents will do their best to meet his reasonable demands.

However, if this happened a year ago, Zhang Siyi estimated that he could wear a grandson in front of his dad, but now that this thought came out, he was immediately suppressed by Zhang Siyi.

Because he and Gu Yu are together, he feels that he is not qualified to ask his parents any more in his life.

Faced with all the problems in front of him, Zhang Siyi once again retreated.

I want more, no money, no eggs!

He closed the computer on his own, turned out the ipad, and started playing the game...

Open the music era, all the nine or more songs have been practiced on one side, ten fingers flying, imagine this is the battle on the battlefield...bo! Bo! Allbo! Ah! Why is learning architecture not as simple as playing a game? How could he choose a career path that is so difficult to pass? ?

After playing for an hour, Zhang Siyi squatted on the bed, but fell into a greater sense of self-blame.

Just then the phone rang, and Zhang Siyi saw it, it was Gu Yu’s call.

Fear that Liao Jun heard something wrong, he quickly put on his shoes and went outside.

Leaning against the window at the end of the hotel corridor, Zhang Siyi shrank his neck and listened to the phone and asked him if he had a good day. What did he do during the day and what he ate at night...

The soft voice seems to have the power to heal the heart, and Zhang Siyi's mood is slightly better.

To be honest, in fact, he is very lucky. He was born in such a family. He had such a good educational condition. When he graduated, he met such a good boss, and this person became his perfect lover...

Hey, is he too good and too far away? Maybe it would be better to lower the requirements a little lower? For example, if you are a domestic graduate student, you don’t have to separate from Gu Yu, isn’t it?

... In that case, his Royal Registered Architect's license is no longer a play. Isn't this the end of the game?

The master's degree is required to be read, and the license is also to be taken. One is to improve the inner strength, and the other is to obtain the industry pass. The two are inseparable.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yu sensitively heard that he was a little absent-minded and asked: "What happened? Is it in a bad mood?"

Zhang Siyi hesitated for a while, and gave a low voice.

For a moment, he suddenly came up with a thought - if he borrowed money from Gu Yu?

Zhang Siyi was a little bit shocked by his own thoughts. In fact, he did not think about it in the subconscious.

He knows that Gu Yu has money. As long as he mentions, Gu Yu is also likely to give it, but this does not meet Zhang Siyi's principle of being a man and love. He has always advocated the economic independence of both lovers. If you have to do so, try to be economic. Make a clear distinction.

What's more, it's such a big sum of money. It's a million, not a hundred. Even if Gu is willing to give it, he doesn't have a face. Otherwise, in the days to come, he always feels that he owes a lot of money to the other party. Can he still fall in love? ?

Of course, the most fundamental problem is that Zhang Siyi has not mentioned the idea of ​​going abroad to study for a master's degree.

He is a bit embarrassed, he himself is reluctant to leave Gu Yu, what about Gu Yu?

Gu Yu at the other end of the phone smiled and jokingly asked, "Do you miss me?"

Zhang Siyi: "... um."

Gu Yu teased him and wanted him to say "I miss you". Zhang Siyi suddenly took up the courage and shouted solemnly: "Gu Yu."

When Gu Yu heard his tone, this was serious and asked: "What happened?"

Zhang Siyi knows that he can't escape. The only thing he can do now is to confess all his thoughts with Gu Yu. This is the greatest trust for lovers.

"I want to ask you a question." Zhang Siyi hardened his head.

Gu Yu: "Say."

Zhang Siyi: "If I say, I want to go back to the UK to study for a master's degree... What do you think?"

The phone suddenly fell into silence, and Zhang Siyi waited for a few seconds without waiting for Gu's reply, and suddenly regretted it. He opened his mouth and quickly replied: "I, I just think about it, I don't really want to go, and the tuition is very expensive. I can't afford it now..."

Gu Yu still did not respond.

Zhang Siyi panicked: "Are you listening?"

Gu Yu said, "Well," Zhang Siyi seemed to hear the "hmm" followed by a sigh.

Zhang Siyi is arrogant, I don't know what to say. At this moment, the worry that makes you sad and sad is far more than the frustration of not being able to go to the UK to study for a master's degree.

After half a minute of silence, Gu Yu finally spoke up: "I think about it, think about it and answer you."

Zhang Siyi did not understand what it was like to think. He felt "very good" or "not good". Just say one on the line. Why does Gu Yu seem to think about a complicated topic? Is it that you are embarrassed by Gu?

In fact, even if Gu Yu’s first reaction is “not good”, it doesn’t matter, so he will stay in the side of Gu Yu. In this life, he willingly be a small follower, and he will not go anywhere.

Gu Yu: "It's a bit late today, don't think about it, take a break early."

After saying that sentence, Gu Yu and Zhang Siyi said "good night."

From this moment on, Zhang Siyi is like a rabbit that has been pushed onto a gallows, uneasily hangs his ears and waits for the final verdict.

He contradicted his own confession in contradiction, and he was eagerly expecting Gu Yu to give him a reply.

Time hastily, in the blink of an eye, they stayed in X City for 12 days, and two days before the return date, the survey and research work has been completed.

On the day of the return flight, one day, Mr. Cui gave them a big compassion.

This time everyone plans not to let go of the opportunity, at least go out to climb the ancient city wall, and it is not a white one.

One night before the rest day, Zhang Siyi and Liao Jun were on the Internet to find a place that was close to fun, and suddenly heard someone knocking at the door.

Liao Jun was close to the door, first jumped to open the door, and saw an unexpected person: "Gu...what?"

He is not a non-boundary person. He listens to Cui’s teacher Gu Gu’s “Little Gu”, and Bi Lele calls “Boss”. In private, Zhang Siyi calls his name “Gu Yu”. He doesn’t know what to call for a while. Just slipped a word and said "Gu Zong".

Gu Yu nodded and asked: "Is Zhang Siyi here?"

Zhang Siyi heard the familiar voice and directly turned to look at the past - only seeing Gu Yu standing at the door, holding a briefcase in his hand, holding a room card in his hand, apparently just arrived, did not have time to open the room door Come find yourself first.

... lying trough! Why is that guy always doing this "sudden appearance"? His heart can't stand it!

"0302, come to me for a while." Gu Yu shook his room card, and he said with no expression.

Zhang Siyi quickly jumped out of bed, put on slippers, and greeted Liao Jun, and he turned his back.

When he entered the door, Zhang Siyi chattered and asked: "How come you? Just arrived? Have you had dinner?"

Gu Yu put the bag on the bed, pulled the shirt tie, suddenly turned around, and pulled the person in front of him to the front, and kissed the other's head.
