Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1281 Everyone's a Cannonball! This is unbearable!

"That's what we call each other in private."

After being speechless, Lu Tao tried to explain.

He really didn't take it seriously.

After all, at home he calls his adoptive father by his name, while his biological father is usually called "General Manager Xu," and sometimes "Old Xu."

What's wrong with calling your boss "Old Hou" these days?
"Calling someone that in private shows you don't respect your superiors at all!" the young designer mocked. "But what right do you, a recent college graduate, have? You're so disrespectful to President Hou, and what you just told me about everyone agreeing was just a meaningless platitude."

"That's different!" Lu Tao quickly explained, "President Hou isn't a tech guy, but we are all tech guys, and I have a lot of respect for you!"

"Respect us?" the young designer said angrily. "Is it when we were discussing the plan that Mr. Xu treated us with such respect, not giving us a chance to speak at all?"

"That wasn't what I meant! I told him off!" Lu Tao tried to explain more anxiously, seemingly understanding why his former boss was so angry.

At that time, his father, Xu Zhisen, was indeed too deliberate in belittling the older brothers to elevate him. Even he felt extremely embarrassed at the time and complained to his father about it afterward.

But after complaining a couple of times, that was it.

As expected, there were consequences. Sure enough, the boss pinned the blame on him. He was innocent and had to explain himself.

"You said he was talking about him?" Lu Tao's former boss, now a young and successful designer who had instantly become his subordinate, sneered. "So you two really have a close relationship, otherwise how dare you say he was talking about him? And you even said you weren't working together, that you did this on purpose!"

And you still have the nerve to ask me if I feel it's unfair!
Tell me, is this fair?

"..." Lu Tao was speechless.

When he complained to his father, he frankly admitted that he felt it was unfair, so he felt uneasy and ashamed. However, his father comforted him with a few words and he put it out of his mind.

I never expected to be confronted by the person involved, facing him face-to-face, questioning whether it was fair or not. And just now, because of the other party's sarcastic remarks, he insisted on asking if the other party felt it was unfair, as if he didn't think it was unfair at all...

The more I think about it, the more agitated I become!
"Originally, I was supposed to lead this project and mentor you, a newcomer. But because you know Mr. Xu and have a close relationship with him, you've turned the tables and taken the lead in this project instead."

You were Lao Xu's junior, and Lao Xu was the one who recommended you to join the school. Now he's your subordinate.

He couldn't say anything to you, and you just let President Xu humiliate us and chose to tolerate it. But I won't let you get away with that! The young designer was just indignant and wanted to say something sarcastic to Lu Tao, and that was it.

After all, the manager specifically called them over and did some ideological work with them, explaining that this project was just a small one, and that Yuanda would have many more large projects in the future.

If we treat Lu Tao, this person with connections, well this time, there will be big projects in the future. People with connections like Lu Tao simply can't handle them without real ability, which will allow them to demonstrate their strength.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

So they just complained to the manager about how Lu Tao was nobody, and that was it.

Although they are young designers, they have been out of school for several years and are not unaware of the harsh realities of society and the ways of the world.

But when he saw that Lu Tao didn't say anything at all, and was directly and comfortably giving orders and leading the project, this newbie who was only fit to be guided by them was now trying to command them, he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. The other party even dared to insist that he said this was 'fair'... Damn!

He needs to vent his frustrations.

Of course, if that were all, he would have simply stated his dissatisfaction with the arrangement and then said nothing more. That's how it was in the original story.

Click till.

After all, he still had to work for the company, which was a top-tier design firm, and Yuanda was a large and powerful company. He wanted to continue working there and in the industry, so he had no choice but to put up with it.

But now there's more than just this one company, more than just Yuanda, a powerful real estate enterprise. He's not like Lu Tao, who has connections. He has enough power and he's not without options, so why should he put up with this?
So when he saw that Lu Tao still had the nerve to keep arguing after he had already stopped, as if he really had no problem at all, then he shouldn't blame him for making his point even clearer.

"If you're in charge, at least take us with you!"
But do you have that ability?

Is that what you call design?

Hang an eye-catching sign in front of the building, something that must stand out from the surrounding environment. When a resident tells a taxi driver that he wants to come to Youth Home, the taxi driver can drive directly there without asking him for directions.

What an amazing design concept!
But don't you realize that taxi drivers need to ask for directions to find their way? What kind of taxi driver are you?

Furthermore, if everything is as you say, and each building needs to stand out from its surroundings to be remembered by taxi drivers, then taxi drivers wouldn't know about all the other inconspicuous buildings around them and would have to ask the owners and passengers.
That's utter nonsense!
Mr. Xu, you're really going along with me, and I actually think what you said is right!
Don't they realize this is just a matter of putting up a sign? Is it something we didn't think of?
We simply didn't have the chance to talk about this most insignificant part!

Is this really what this design needs?

No!

It starts with a high-level overview, beginning with the owner's positioning and renovation costs, then moving on to the interior structural design. After these major designs are completed, the focus shifts to the so-called eye-catching details of the signboard!
In our previous meetings, instead of giving us a chance to discuss the earlier points, they directly rejected us based on trivial details that needed improvement.

what is this?
It's just the same old thing in the entertainment industry: using veteran actors or even established stars to play supporting roles for young idols!

What else is there besides that face?
Mr. Hou isn't a tech guy, so you disrespect him by calling him "Old Hou." We are tech guys, so who do you respect?
You're really something! Don't expect us to be your assistants and help you complete the actual design. You just put your name on a sign and expect to reap all the rewards!

"If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself!"

Lu Tao's face turned red and white as he was scolded.

Does he understand these principles?
Of course I know!

He simply chose to ignore it.

Originally, since no one said anything, he was blind and didn't see it, enjoying these benefits with a clear conscience. But now, the person involved has directly exposed him, and this scolding has made him feel as if he has seen He Chen again.

The thought of He Chen brought back memories of He Chen's assertion that "you are a woman" and the bet, which made him feel even more ashamed and embarrassed.

屮!
How can anyone criticize and insult me ​​like He Chen, with every word piercing my heart?

If everyone were like He Dapao, life would be unbearable.

Is it not He Chen who is wrong, but me who is really wrong?

I'm truly a woman striving in this way...
