However, not every architectural design could go to Wang Yue. It wasn't as if he could take on every project himself. So he had all the company's designers submit proposals, including the assistant designers.
Wang Yue did this because he wanted to find a suitable project designer to take some of the more routine design work off his hands. He would only need to review the results.
After a series of screenings, Wang Yue really did find a suitable designer.
The designer's surname was Luo. He was an experienced designer poached by a headhunter. After Luo handled the initial reviews, Wang Yue was spared a lot of trouble and no longer had to review every single design.
Most of the employees didn't complain even when their designs were rejected. They knew their place: they were employees, and all they had to do was follow their leaders' instructions.
Lu Tao was different, though. After the school project, he had seen what a truly perfect design looked like, and he always wanted to make every project perfect.
But with Lu Tao's designs, the profit margin was actually very low—perhaps only a little more than what they'd earn by putting the money in a bank.
Investors looking to put money into real estate wouldn't take that kind of risk for anything less than several times their investment.
Supervisor Luo rejected Lu Tao's design, but Lu Tao wasn't willing to give up. He took his drawings to Wang Yue. To meet Wang Yue, he had even called Mi Lai to ask for Wang Yue's address.
When Lu Tao saw Wang Yue, he said confidently, "Teacher Wang, working on the school you designed taught me a lot about design. So, for the Hu Jiawan resettlement housing, I've not only taken beauty into consideration—"
