Chapter 824: Growing stronger, confessed by mentor
Therefore, among the works Huo Yan collaborated with senior masters, her design drafts were never approved.
But working with predecessors is about learning their spirit and methods of handling details, and has nothing to do with whether your own design will be adopted.
As Huo Yan became more and more popular, he became more and more low-key in his behavior.
She thanked Mr. Ent for doing his best to help her, from a little country girl who knew nothing to a great architect today.
In fact, there are many young people in Mr. Ente's studio who are more talented than her, and many who are more diligent and hardworking than her, but she is the one who stands out.
Two years have passed. Looking back at the days and nights that have passed, I have asked myself many times, what has she done to deserve this?
There are many rumors about Mr. Ente and her in the industry. As her fame grows, her past and future are also exposed, including her family background, previous failed marriage, etc.
Perhaps he had anticipated this day, so he was fully prepared to have his scars exposed.
When he saw the report, Huo Yan still felt a little emotional.
After all, it was something that happened to her, so she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, even though she had become much more indifferent. Suddenly, when she thought of that man, her eyes became moist.
"ViVi?"
Mr. Ent knocked on her door.
Huo Yan turned his head, put away his lost mood, and walked towards Mr. Ente.
"Is there something wrong, teacher?" Huo Yan asked with a smile.
The smile was just right, but the emotions on her face that she couldn't control revealed her mood at the moment.
"Regarding the report..."
"I'm fine. I don't care about the reports. Those things really happened, and I've never deliberately forgotten them. I was just thinking about the design project I'm collaborating on with my French friends, and they seem to be very tough on me. What if they insist on not using our ideas?"
Huo Yan smiled awkwardly and tried to speak more fluently.
"Your eyes tell me that you are sad. I think we can be friends in addition to the teacher-student relationship. If you are willing, I can listen to everything you have to say." Mr. Ente said sincerely.
Huo Yan shook his head: "Really not, don't get me wrong."
"So, have you recovered from the damage caused by your previous marriage?" Mr. Ente asked again.
She must have her reasons for not wanting to confess her past to others.
The past is not important, what matters is her present and future.
Huo Yan smiled, "I can't say it was hurtful, but it taught me a lot. Without that past, I might still be a silly girl who knows nothing. I'm always grateful for everything that life has arranged for me. I accept my ignorant past and the challenges that the future brings me."
Mr. Ente looked at Huo Yan, and his eyes became soft.
See, this is what makes this oriental girl different.
Mr. Ente talked with Huo Yan for a long time that night, and in the end he confessed his love to her, which surprised and shocked Huo Yan.
"I will give you a higher honor. We are a perfect match together. The collision of our design inspirations will create more sparks. I believe our future will be even more exciting and our works will attract more attention."
Mr. Ente spoke slowly, staring straight at Huo Yan. After a pause, he continued:
"You're the only girl who's made my heart flutter over the years. You're so special, the way you look when you're quiet, the way you smile when you're mischievous. I have many students, but you're the only one I've put so much thought into cultivating. Fortunately, you've lived up to everyone's expectations and achieved what you've achieved today. As long as you listen to me from now on, I have the ability to make you the best in this field, and everything I have will belong to you, including my reputation."
"..."
Huo Yan's throat felt like there was an egg stuck in it, and he had something to say but couldn't utter it.
I was really scared!
She had always admired Mr. Ent as a teacher and had never had any other thoughts about him.
Can……
At this moment, I understood why it was her.
How many times had she asked herself why it had to be her?
From the first semester after entering the school, she was at the bottom of the list of students taught by Mr. Ente.
But during the holidays that year, she was the only one who had the honor to follow Mr. Ent around as an errand girl.
She did not appear in the studio as an "assistant" or "outstanding student" at that time.
She thought she was easy to bully and that she was honest. Her husband needed someone to run errands, so he asked her to go.
Although I later found out that even those who ran errands for Mr. Ente were the best of the best students.
After obtaining my master's degree, I officially signed a contract with Mr. Ente, and since then my works have been released continuously and invitations have come one after another.
Although she did not participate much in those collaborative projects.
But as long as her name is there, it will be seen as her achievement in the eyes of others.
It must be said that she was promoted by Mr. Ente.
Although it cannot be said that she would not have reached her current height without Mr. Ent, how many years would it take for her to struggle and explore this path on her own?
But everything that happened to her today turned out to be like this. This made Huo Yan feel like someone poured a bucket of cold water on her, and her heart was chilled.
She couldn't accept what she had now, so she seriously rejected Mr. Ent's courtship and closed the door to seriously think about her future.
one year later.
Huo Yan terminated his contract with his mentor and started his own business, and was sued by Mr. Ente in court.
Huo Yan readily accepted the sky-high penalty for breach of contract proposed by the other party. After the other party withdrew the lawsuit, Huo Yan paid the penalty in full.
Americans have always been frank. Even if they take you to court and ask you to bear legal responsibility, they do not have any deep hatred towards you.
At least this is the case with Mr. Ente. He asked Huo Yan to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract. This was to protect his own rights and interests, and had nothing to do with the teacher-student relationship between him and Huo Yan.
He still loves the student he personally brought up, this stubborn and stubborn Chinese kid.
Of course, this love is somewhat different from the love between men and women. It is more of the love of elders for younger generations. After all, he is nearly thirty years older than Huo Yan.
Huo Yan paid the full amount of liquidated damages to Mr. Ente, and on the other hand, Mr. Ente personally funded Huo Yan with the same amount of funds to support her in opening her own studio.
So the American way of thinking cannot be learned or understood.
Mr. Ente was using Huo Yan's money to help her. He didn't spend a penny but Huo Yan was so grateful to him.
However, after many twists and turns, Huo Yan finally established his own studio in New York.
After I started my own business, my first work was a government building, a project I took on while still working with Mr. Ente.
After the design plan of the government building was approved, it was considered a good start for Huo Yan.
