Chapter 848 How can I not love such a man?
Zhuang Zhoucheng was outside taking care of the children and waiting for Huo Yan.
During the seminar that lasted an entire afternoon, Huo Yan looked outside from time to time. The conference hall was like a glass, and one could see everything outside clearly from inside.
Huo Yan looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng and couldn't hear what they were saying, but Zhuang Zhoucheng waved to Kou Xiaoquan who was running away, and soon the child immediately ran towards him.
Huo Yan was stunned. It had only been a short while, and the little guy was already listening to Zhuang Zhoucheng?
How strange!
However, Kou Xiaoquan was an obedient person, Huo Yan thought depressedly.
Mr. Ente called out to Huo Yan twice, and Huo Yan turned to the teacher:
"what?"
After she said this, she was instantly torn into pieces by the gazes of prestigious seniors in the domestic industry.
Huo Yan was immediately embarrassed. It was all that damn man's fault. Why didn't he take Kou Xiaoquan away? If he hadn't appeared in front of her, she wouldn't have been so distracted today.
After the academic exchange meeting, major architectural companies sent designers who were undergoing further training to attend the lectures. After the topic was over, it was time for everyone to ask questions.
Huo Yan actually saw Xu Yang's face among the people sitting below. It was like a stimulant, and he immediately sobered up.
He felt a little embarrassed. When he met the ancients, he couldn't pretend anymore. He felt it was quite shameful.
After the meeting, the director of the Department of Architecture at Kyoto University, her alma mater, quickly sent a letter, asking Huo Yan to return to the school to give several lectures for the benefit of her alma mater's younger students.
As for the cost, let her decide.
Huo Yan was in such an awkward situation. She definitely couldn't postpone the lecture, but she certainly couldn't offer the price.
She considered it all as a return to her alma mater, expressing her gratitude to the teachers for their cultivation of her, and she did not take a single cent.
The department head was so excited that he held Huo Yan's hand for a long time.
These are the talents cultivated by Kyoto University, and they are masters who have walked out of Kyoto University and into the world.
You should know that Huo Yan’s representative work, the “Rhino Horn Building”, was rated as one of the top ten creative buildings in the new century. As early as two years ago, it was included in various architectural design textbooks as a teaching material.
Kyoto even opened a creative design course for her, aiming to cultivate students' wild imagination.
When Huo Yan learned that her alma mater had opened a creative design course because of her, she immediately burst into tears of gratitude. Her heart was really overwhelmed with emotions.
Just a few years ago, I never thought that she would design such an amazing work.
Looking back now, it seems that I have really done a lot in the past few years.
Not to mention her participation in the design of architectural works. Although she has not created many works herself, each one is indeed a masterpiece. The most famous one is the Rhino Horn Building in New Zealand.
Huo Yan now understood the meaning of the bottleneck in his design career. When a work reaches its peak, it will be difficult for the next work to surpass it.
Some designers become famous for just one work in their lifetime.
Huo Yan has produced many good works in recent years, but the influence and popularity of the later ones have not been able to catch up with or even reach the heights achieved by the Rhino Horn Building.
However, she is still young.
Design requires the accumulation of life experience. Works created after a certain amount of life experience will have more depth.
So Huo Yan was not in a hurry. She knew where her shortcoming was, which was her age.
After a brief conversation with the school department head, Xu Yang came up from behind.
She had already seen it, so it would be too much for her to pretend not to see it.
She adjusted her mood and faced Xu Yang with a calm and composed smile on her face.
"Long time no see, senior."
Xu Yang looked at Huo Yan and stopped about three meters in front of her.
She was now as dazzling as if her whole body was glowing, and the achievements she had made now would be beyond his reach in his lifetime.
I just came over to say congratulations to her, but when I got closer, my heart suddenly felt sad.
This successful woman, who has become a world-class architectural master, is no longer the poor little girl who was slandered in the company and needed him to prove her innocence.
The obedient and well-behaved little girl back then, all those past events will forever remain in his memory.
"Congratulations." Xu Yang said with a smile.
Huo Yan smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
The two of them sat in silence. If she hadn't met Xu Yang by chance today, she would have forgotten about this senior.
Zhuang Zhoucheng walked towards Huo Yan holding Kou Xiaoquan, reached out and gently brushed away the hair hanging on her eyelashes. Huo Yan looked up at him.
Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled at her gently:
"Let's go, the child is hungry."
Such a simple and plain sentence made Huo Yan's eyes red.
She nodded. When Xu Yang saw Zhuang Zhoucheng, he was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he immediately said hello politely and left.
He hadn't expected that this man would appear beside Huo Yan after all these years. Back then, the divorce case of the head of the most affluent family in the capital was known throughout the country.
Huo Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then called the man:
"Zhuang Zhoucheng."
Zhuang Zhoucheng turned and looked at her, his face soft.
"I'm here."
The corners of Huo Yan's mouth trembled slightly, and he whispered:
"I have to treat the teacher to dinner tonight. He turned down other invitations, so I have to take on the responsibility of being his tour guide in Kyoto."
"Okay, then let's go find Mr. Ente." Zhuang Zhoucheng responded good-temperedly.
Huo Yan looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He didn't say anything or nod, but walked side by side with him silently.
How long can he keep being so nice to her?
She seems to be falling again, what should she do?
Is she going to throw herself into the flame again without hesitation?
Or, just stop right there and stay away from him?
Now, she has the right to shout "stop" and the right to choose.
But what should we do?
Was she really starting to feel lost after just the second meeting?
Huo Yan didn't understand his own heart, and didn't know what he wanted.
It feels like I am being dragged along by some unknown entity, and my subjective consciousness is too weak.
In the evening, Huo Yan hosted a formal dinner for his mentor at Haiyue Restaurant.
The seafood in Kyoto is very good, and you can eat famous seafood from all over the world here.
When you come here, as long as you are willing to spend money, you will nod your head repeatedly and say that the trip is worthwhile.
Huo Yan spoke much less at the dinner table. It was Zhuang Zhoucheng who was entertaining people, drinking wine with them and chatting about all sorts of things.
Huo Yan occasionally listened to it and felt deeply moved in his heart that Zhuang Zhoucheng knew so much.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took care of Mr. Ente and occasionally took care of Huo Yan, while Huo Yan took care of herself and Kou Xiaoquan.
The person in control at the table soon involuntarily became Zhuang Zhoucheng. He was used to socializing in various occasions, big and small, so he was naturally at ease when greeting his wife's mentor.
