Chapter 42: The Sound of the Piano

Ding Ruola suddenly felt that fate was playing tricks on her! She really didn't know if Professor Fang had done it on purpose or not!

"Old Fang?" Ding Ruola looked at Fang Siyan with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm? What's up? Do you two know each other?" Fang Siyan guessed when he saw the strange expressions on their faces.

"Yeah. He's my classmate in school." Ding Ruola's face showed a mixture of surprise and complexity.

"Well. I only knew that he was a member of the Beijing Visual Communication Design Association. But it's good this way. You can take care of each other at school. Haha!"

Hearing what his little wife said, Fang Siyan sized up the young man in front of him again. His eyes darkened slightly.

Just then, Fang Siyan's phone rang. He took a look and saw it was a text message from his assistant.

Mei Xuejian stepped into his office.

In the living room, only Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan were left.

"Baby, you can get familiar with the place first. I heard they've recently taken on a new project. See if you're interested."

"… I have to go on a business trip for work."

Fang Siyan paused for a moment, looking a bit helpless with a bitter smile on his face.

"Okay. You go ahead and attend to your business! Don't worry about me. I'll see what they're up to."

Even though there was a hint of disappointment, seeing the other people in the studio greeting her and then getting back to their own work in an orderly manner, Ding Ruola's curiosity was piqued.

Seeing this, the corner of Fang Siyan's mouth curled up. After a while, the man left.

"This is the project we've recently taken on."

A few people sat in the hall, having a meeting around a small round table.

Jiang Chen placed a stack of documents on the table and pushed them towards Ding Ruola.

She didn't think this little girl would understand much, but the proper procedures still had to be followed, after all, she was someone related to Mr. Fang.

"I've looked into this project. The client wants us to design a garden in the Lola Manor. We need to conduct an on - site inspection. The location is in Europe."

Croatia looked at Ding Ruola and spoke first.

His pair of green eyes were like two green gemstones, extremely beautiful.

"Europe? Lola Manor?" Ding Ruola couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this.

How long had the Xing Ruyu Studio been established? How could they even get a project from Europe?

Ding Ruola flipped through the planning case that Jiang Chen had pushed over. It recorded the general plan of the Xing Ruyu team for this project.

Ding Ruola quickly read it through once, and couldn't help but go back and read it again.

A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It was just a thin three - page document, but from the project analysis to each process of the project, what Jiang Chen had summarized and the suggestions given by each member were all very on - point.

It was better than any planning case she had ever seen.

Ding Ruola found that although these people were not big - name figures, their professional abilities were extremely strong. They had different personalities, but they were all very responsible and cooperated well with her.

Where did Professor Fang dig these people out from? They were just tailor - made for her...

A warm current surged in her heart. Ding Ruola suddenly felt a strong sense of responsibility. She thought she must work hard, be responsible to Professor Fang and to this studio...

"Miss Ding, do you want to join this project? We'll have to set off in two days." Croatia's attitude was always so respectful.

"Sure. I don't have anything else to do anyway."

Ding Ruola thought about it. Since Professor Fang still had to work overtime and she would be bored at home, she agreed.

"Okay then. Miss Ding and Brother Xuejian will go with Dia to the Lola Manor for an inspection. Sister Jiang Chen and I will stay at Xing Ruyu to take care of the work here."

Lu Hui blinked her eyes and spoke. Her voice was sweet but not cloying.

She originally wanted Mei Xuejian to stay at Xing Ruyu, but since they didn't know Miss Ding's level yet, it would be safer to have one more person go, after all, the client was a big one.

The others also knew what Lu Hui meant.

Everyone could doubt Ding Ruola since they didn't know her well yet.

But Mei Xuejian wouldn't: "No need. I'll stay at Xing Ruyu to keep an eye on things here. Miss Ruola can go with Mr. Croatia."

"Cough. That's fine too! When you're doing the inspection there, if you have any professional problems or need to discuss something, you can call us at any time." Jiang Chen twitched the corner of her mouth and added politely.

[Old Fang, I'm going on a business trip too! I'm going for an on - site inspection of a project. I'll be back soon!]

[Laugh - cry. Hahaha, is baby going on a business trip too! Be careful! Cooperate well with the other people in the studio. It should be okay.]

[Yeah! I find the members of the Xing Ruyu team are so amazing!]

[Oh? Why do you say so? Hahaha]

[A woman's intuition...]

[…]

At the airport, Ding Ruola was wearing a thin silver - white fox - fur coat. Her black hair fell over her shoulders.

Croatia was tall and had a good - looking face. The two of them walking together was a perfect combination of Western and Eastern beauty.

The client was the Gu family from Beijing. Most of the Gu family's influence was based in Europe.

So, when Ding Ruola saw that the person who opened the door for them at the Lola Manor was an Asian, she wasn't too surprised.

When the servant heard that they were here for the garden design, he immediately invited them to the side wing.

It had to be said that the manor was really big.

Ding Ruola and Croatia's rooms were two independent side wings, and right next to them was a large garden area.

Ding Ruola was holding some instruments and measuring some data.

Suddenly, a melodious piano piece came. It was cadenced and hit people's hearts directly.

Unlike other light - hearted pieces, it was like a roller - coaster, rising and falling, and finally becoming low and continuous, making people feel so depressed that they could hardly breathe.

Just as Ding Ruola finished her measurement, she put away the instruments and uncontrollably followed the sound of the music.

The piece seemed to have magic power, seeping into people's hearts like sweet spring water.

After passing a row of European - style castles, Ding Ruola dazedly walked into a courtyard.

The scene changed instantly. Ding Ruola felt as if it was an illusion.

Just now there were rows of thick milky - white European - style castles, but here it immediately turned into a Chinese - style ancient courtyard?

It was like being in a different world.

If it weren't for the lingering sound of the piano and the big bell outside that could still be seen from the courtyard door, Ding Ruola would almost have believed that she had time - traveled!

The music became more and more urgent. Ding Ruola suddenly remembered the line "The big strings rumble like a downpour, the small strings tinkle like whispers" which described the pipa.

It was also very suitable to describe the current piano sound.

Outside the courtyard, there were pink walls surrounding it and green willows hanging down.

Walking into the small door, the first thing that came into view was a lifelike and extremely realistic sculpture of a fierce beast placed at the entrance.

The kylin was powerful and spiritual, facing the door.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a kylin, Ding Ruola was startled.

The music was still playing. Going further in, she reached the middle of the courtyard.

The courtyard was not big, but it was extremely delicate.

The courtyard was filled with an exotic fragrance. All kinds of strange herbs and fairy vines were winding around the rocks and eaves, growing vigorously.
