“Team Leader Fu.” Ping Yang glanced at Gu Wencheng and then at the governnt staff. She smiled and said, “Don’t scare the employees like this. Our company is very humane. Miss ng’s early preparations are also very interesting. I’m looking forward to her next idea.”
The staff from the municipal governnt nodded in agreent. “Yeah, 1 also want to see what the final idea is like. ng Nianyao, right?” Please continue.”
ng Nianyao nodded and smiled at them. “City B’s economy has been developing very fast these years. Every year, a large number of foreigners co to City B to work. The locals of City B also go all over the country for various reasons, so there are very few people who work locally. Although City B is developing very well, I’ve checked the relevant information and noticed that the number of people who leave City B to work elsewhere every year is in the top three in the country. Has everyone heard of a legend about Sea City? It was a long, long ti ago…” ng Nianyao paused for a mont before adding humorously, “It seems like all stories start a long, long ti ago.”
Everyone present laughed, except for Fu Yi and An Xinya.
ng Nianyao continued, “A long, long ti ago, there was a famine. In order to support his elderly parents, a young man went to a faraway place to beco a slave. When he left ho, his parents were very reluctant to part with him. At that ti, they told him that when Yanzi returned next year, he must return as well. He couldn’t break his promise. The young man agreed, but when he was working hard for soone, he died in an accident. That night, his parents dread of a swallow flying over. The next day, the old couple’s son did not return at the appointed ti, so they completely cut off contact with their son. On that winter day, a swallow flew across the cold winter from the south to the north and arrived at the old couple’s ho.
At that ti, without labor at ho, it was equivalent to waiting for death. The old couple couldn’t make it through that winter. When they were on their last breaths, they saw the swallow that ca from the winter and knew that it was their son.”
The entire conference room fell silent. ng Nianyao paused for a mont before continuing. “At the end of the story, this old couple died without regret.”
The crowd remained silent.
ng Nianyao pulled out her final design drawing. It was a lifelike swallow.
The story she told had so mythical colors and a touch of emotion, being able to touch people’s hearts.
“I went to do an interview during this period of ti. Everyone can take a look.” ng Nianyao moved the design plan to the side and played a video that was less than ten minutes long. The video was filled with elderly people living in nursing hos. In the video, they were all from well-off families. ng Nianyao asked them how long it had been since they last saw their children. These elderly people had a good quality of life and were very cultured. However, when they ntioned their children, their eyes revealed the emotions of ordinary people, such as longing, and anticipation. Their answers were that they had not seen them for a long ti and that they were all busy.
After reading this, everyone in the eting room fell silent.
ng Nianyao continued, “Over the years, Sea City has been developing better and better. However, this city seems to be lacking in humanity. The elderly don’t have the company of their children, and the children don’t have the company of their parents. Over the years, traditional Chinese culture has gradually risen, and Sea City has beco one of the best cities in the country. In the future, more activities will be carried out to expand its popularity. My design philosophy is: return ho.”
ng Nianyao didn’t say anything else. The last scene of the video was fixed on her design drawing. A swallow returning to the south, its eyes filled with hope for ho.
ng Nianyao didn’t say much about the design. Everyone present was a designer. After saying that, she walked off the stage and sat back down.
The eting room was very quiet. ng Nianyao actually didn’t have any confidence in this design. Her design wasn’t particularly bad, but it wasn’t outstanding either. In fact, she was just playing around the edges. Other people’s designs were dull, but she injected her emotions into them. Everyone’s reaction was within her expectations, but she was still a little flustered. This was the first ti she was competing with so many people.
ng Nianyao beca nervous. When she looked up, her eyes inadvertently t Gu Wencheng’s. She didn’t forget that she was still angry and quickly looked away..
