”You study design too?”
I scratched my head in embarrassment before nodding my head.
”Truly not bad …” You are very talented. ”
Jiang Yueluo said sincerely.
I felt even more embarrassed. Previously, I was in a high position, so I couldn't help but be a little impetuous. He had never felt that there was anything wrong with his work.
But it wasn't until I left my former surroundings and went abroad that I realized that the works I was so proud of were nothing in the eyes of others.
I've tried to make money from my own designs, but I've only made a few, and most of the time I've run into a wall.
After countless setbacks, I thought I might not be fit to go this way, but I didn't give up.
But just design as a hobby, painting and sketching as a tool to support the family.
Originally, I thought it would be difficult to reconstruct the design, because even I had lost my confidence.
But today, I received praise from someone who could be said to be a senior. I was more or less a little proud of myself.
”Coincidentally, I have some books on design over there. I'll bring them over to you in two days. Since you like them, you have to persevere on. At the very least, you will receive an unexpected reward.”
Jiang Yueluo said before bidding farewell to me.
The two of us left contact details for later communication.
In the days that followed, instead of going out to sketch, I concentrated on designing at home.
Jiang Yueluo also followed through with the previous agreement, and often brought over blueprints and books on designs from his own home, for me to use as a reference.
Of course, more often than not, she would provide me with appropriate guidance and planning. She could be considered my mentor.
From time to time she would give me an application form or channel for the French Designer's Contest, and I would design the relevant work to compete in accordance with the above requirements.
It was true that most of them had sunk to the bottom of the sea in the beginning, but gradually, there was a response.
My pseudonym Helen began to take her work to test the qualifications of foreign designers.
After about a year, with Jiang Yueluo's help, the name Helen became famous in the design circles of Paris.
At this time, the relationship between Jiang Yueluo and I was no longer the relationship between the landlord and the tenant, but more importantly, we were like friends or relatives supporting each other.
I'm busy with my work and Jiang Yueluo will give me pointers. Furthermore, she likes the stars and gets along well with them, so the two of them are like real grandfathers and grandsons.
Once, I received an invitation to attend a costume design exhibition in Shanghai.
I told this to Jiang Yueluo, and we both knew what an important opportunity it was for a designer.
Designing an exhibition is like a painter's exhibition, and such an opportunity is hard to come by.
If this exhibition can get a good result, then my design career is undoubtedly a step up!
But now I have a big problem...
In the end … Do you want to go back?
”What happened? Why do you look so depressed?”
Jiang Yueluo looked at me who was lying on the design table and asked with concern as he held the child in his arms.
”Aunt Jiang... I... ”I don't want to go back …”
”Good Star, Grandma and Mama have some things to discuss. You can go play by yourself first …”
