Frankly, when "The Covenant of a New Home" first began, I didn't like Chen Xi very much, but I admired her.
The reason is simple, because I used to be like her, looking at the world only simple black and white, looking at things only simple right and wrong, never considering that in real life, between black and white right and wrong, there are large middle zones.
As the text on the Internet says, what this society needs is an idealist like Chen Xi, if everyone can keep the original intention like Chen Xi, the world will have become better long ago.
The problem is that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and when everything around us has long been painted and colorful, simple white has become the greatest sin.
Like a saying I read online many years ago, if one day, everyone is walking with their hands, the only person who walks with their feet becomes a different kind, either assimilated or ostracized.
In "The Covenant of the New Home", Chen Xi is such a person.
As the home improvement champion of the "ideal house" competition, is a popular home decoration designer in the industry, such Chen Xi, debut is the peak, but from the current plot point of view, if not met Yang Guang, her peak may be limited to this.
Although she is kind and upright in her bones, her performance is really not very pleasing -
The contractor said behind her back that she was "a tendon", her mother said that she had a cold personality, the leader had a headache, she was an unruly master, and the opponent thought that she was a troublemaker. Idealistic and arrogant, personality is self-contained, never cares about other people's feelings.
In other words, if I renovate the house, I especially expect a conscientious designer like Chen Xi, but if I am a colleague, I may not like her (purely personal opinion, do not like please spray).
Not because she was too dazzling, but because she was always on top of the curve.

First, she looked down on her peers.
It is true that Chen Xi has the capital to look down on Yang Guang, after all, she graduated from a prestigious university, Yang Guang started from an ordinary decoration worker, and the two of them are not on the same channel at all.
However, "on paper, I finally feel shallow, and I absolutely know that I have to do this thing", Yang Guang's experience from practice, although it may not be as systematic as Chen Xi's learning from books, it is definitely not much worse.
However, every time Chen Xi faced Yang Guang, he always looked like he was on top.
For Yang Guang, Chen Xi's attitude towards other colleagues in the company is not much better.
Cai Yunfeng, who is in the same company as Chen Xi, is the nephew of Hu Zong, and he privately agreed with the carpenter behind Chen Xi's back, using rubber wood instead of imported oak, and customers can't see it anyway.
However, Cai Yunfeng misread Chen Xi, he thought that Chen Xi would only talk on paper, but he did not want Chen Xi to come, but he knocked with his hand, he found the material problem, and immediately asked for replacement.
Cai Yunfeng signaled that this was the unspoken rule in the industry, so that she turned a blind eye and passed, but she did not want Chen Xi to take the saw and dry it, and broke up with Cai Yunfeng on the spot.
Because of this incident, Chen Xi completely offended Cai Yunfeng, although we all know that Chen Xi is right, but Cai Yunfeng is Hu Zong's nephew and has his own influence in the company.
After all, home improvement is a job that needs to be completed, her strong personality and stubborn temper are her biggest weaknesses, and Cai Yunfeng has begun to use her character weaknesses to create obstacles for her.
In fact, this matter can be solved in another way, after all, from the current plot point of view, there are still some people in the company who have three views, and Chen Xi can't afford to fight alone.

Secondly, she did not have the slightest good look for her clients.
Thinking about it carefully, since the beginning of the plot, Chen Xi has talked about business three times, but the three businesses have not been very pleasant.
The first time, a Mrs. Kuo asked Chen Xi to design, because the house was illegal and there were safety hazards, Chen Xi had already refused.
Although I don't understand the business of home decoration design, in my cognition, trading is not benevolent, and this matter has passed.
However, mrs. Kuo did not look at it this way, thinking that Chen Xi and the boss of their company would be polite when they saw him, and they were not afraid that Chen Xi, a small designer, would not agree.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xi did not take this order, and also shook Lin Tai in front of his face, then turned away and threw the mess to Director Ye.
Later, a small couple looked for Chen Xi to design a house, and like most people who have just bought a house, they have a lot of their own ideas about the design of the new house, which would have been a very normal thing, but listening to it, Chen Xi was impatient and ate the lollipop by himself.
"You can have your own ideas, but I can also not adopt them, and if you know everything, what do you ask a designer to do?"
Such a tone does not look like talking about business. On this issue, I agree with Uncle Liu's words - "The first time I heard about it, this decoration does not listen to the opinions of the owners." ”
Of course, this single business was finally negotiated, under the aura of Chen Xi's protagonist.
Thinking about it carefully, that is, when talking about the third unit business, Chen Xi's attitude was better, but that was because the house was very strange and very challenging for her.
Such Chen Xi is completely an idealist, who only sees poetry and distant places, but forgets the chai rice oil and salt in front of him.

This is true for outsiders, and chen Xi does not have the slightest good look for his own family.
According to the story in the play, shortly after Chen Xi's father died, her mother remarried, and it is for this reason that Chen Xi has always been suspicious of her mother.
That time, because the car was hit, Chen Xi wanted to go home to pick up the car, and for the first time, she didn't go home on Wednesday, and if it wasn't for her stepfather's persuasion, she might not have eaten at home at all.
It's just that she doesn't know that over the years, if it weren't for her mother's up and down in the company, she might have been swept out of the house a long time ago.
Frankly speaking, at this time, Chen Xi is completely a child who has not grown up, on the one hand, he wants to escape the control of his parents, on the other hand, he cannot do without the support behind his parents.
Because she could not stand the grievances, Chen Xi wanted to resign, and after returning home, she heard her mother's "sneering", she immediately exploded, if it were not for her stepfather's peace, it is likely that the two women would have blown up the nest at that time.
Later, we learned that her mother did this because she knew what her daughter's personality was and what she cared about most.
She knew that Chen Xi wanted to resign now because she felt wronged in her heart now, and in Chen Xi's heart, she was very concerned about this job, and if she resigned like this now, she would definitely regret it in a few days.
At that time, according to Chen Xi's personality, he would definitely hold everything in his heart, instead of making his daughter feel bad in the future, it would be better to provoke her and help her survive this pass.
Obviously, her mother is thinking about herself for everything, not only caring about herself in life, but also holding up her ideals, but Chen Xi not only does not understand her mother's bitter heart, but also blames her mother there.
From the perspective of an adult, such Chen Xi is somewhat unpleasant.

Obviously on the side of justice, but because of the way he handled things, he made himself a villain alive.
Admittedly, Chen Xi's anger at Cai Yunfeng was very reasonable, and it was precisely because of such a cancerous tumor as Cai Yunfeng that the whole industry was messed up.
But in other aspects, whether it is his attitude towards Yang Guang, or his practice of not listening to customer needs and her performance in front of her mother, it is still a bit excessive.
If you think about it, from beginning to end, Chen Xi is a typical idealist.
But she forgot that the reason why she can be an idealist is precisely because her mother has been holding her up behind her, because of her mother's support, she has no worries about food and clothing, she can be so willful, only to take the orders she wants to take.
In other words, if she is born into an ordinary family like Yang Guang, her attitude may be completely different, because when a person is anxious for three meals a day, she may give up her ideals.
Therefore, there is a saying called "the dragon slayer boy finally became a dragon", when they become a dragon, who will remember, at the beginning of the story, they also used to be inspirational, the three views are very positive.
It's just that with the passage of time, the ideal loses to the banknote, and the original intention loses to the reality.
To paraphrase a sentence on the Internet, not everyone can be like Yang Guang, although he has been groping in life and looks sleek and sophisticated, but his kind original intention has never disappeared.
The reason why Chen Xi can be an idealist is because someone has supported her; the reason why Yang Guang lives so realistically is because the burden on his shoulders makes him have to bend over backwards and seek perfection.
Life is like this, although we all want to be idealists, but most of us, do not have such qualifications, so many times, we have to temporarily put down the ideal, carry the ideal for a while.
