Although Bertha is indifferent to fame and fortune, she values the reputation of her teacher Wood very much. As soon as Qu Chi talked about his teacher, he naturally couldn't avoid it anymore. She casually curled her long hair, as if she had entered the "battle" preparation, and said to the exhibition staff, "Okay, please help us sign up, thank you." ”

"Wait." Qu Chi said suddenly.

Bertha looked at Qu Chi with a puzzled face, could it be that he had changed his mind, that would be better.

Unfortunately, Bertha's wish was disappointed, and Qu Chi said, "It's not interesting to compete just by doing, so let's add some color." ”

"What lottery?" Bertha didn't know what else to bet on in such a match.

"I think you're a clever girl, it's better to be like this, if you lose, how about recognizing me as a master?" At this time, the old man was already sure how powerful a little girl in her twenties could be.

"And what if you lose?" At this time, Bertha's desire to win has been successfully provoked by the other party.

"Then I will also worship you as a teacher." Qu Chi said it lightly, because in his mind it was simply impossible.

"Okay, that's fair." Bertha said as she stretched out her hand and high-fived Qu Chi, which was considered to be an agreement. The onlookers also applauded when they saw this,

At this time, the staff of the exhibition did not know that it was precisely because of their own proposal that a battle between Western design talents and Eastern old craftsmen was triggered.

As you can imagine, Bertha's design won the small contest with a high number of votes, while the old man's work came in second, but it was far from the number of votes. The old man took a closer look at Bertha's work, and sure enough, it contained new elements such as "stand-up collar, pearls, and lace", but it blended very naturally with the suit itself, not at all obtrusive, but added to the brilliance. Compared with his own works, he can be called conservative and has no bright spots. Fortunately, its design captures all the traditional details, so it has won the favor of some people, but it is far less than the traditional and innovative pieces.

Qu Chi deeply realized what this little girl who was despised by himself said before, and sure enough, every word is very worthy of speculation. I didn't expect the young girl in front of me to have such insight, which really taught Qu Chi a lesson, so she took the initiative to find Bertha and officially worship her as a teacher according to the gambling contract.

Bertha originally had no intention of asking Qu Chi to fulfill the contract, and the battle was just to protect her master's reputation. Now that Qu Chi is so formally going to apprentice with him, Bertha is embarrassed.

"Old man, I really don't need to, we're just sparring, and I'm just lucky to win." However, the more modestly Bertha refused, the more Qu Chi felt that he had lost face.

"It's useless for you to say that. I Qu Chi stands on top of the sky, and the eldest husband is hard to chase after him, how can he not believe in a little girl? Quchi shouted.

Bertha was stunned all of a sudden, the other party turned out to be the sixth-generation successor of the prestigious "Qu's Clothing", and now she didn't dare to take Qu Chi as an apprentice.

In the end, Bertha had no choice but to drag out her master as a shield, saying that she had to ask her master to agree before she could take Qu Chi as an apprentice. At this time, Qu Chi knew that the little girl in front of him turned out to be a disciple of the world-famous designer Wood Charles, and it was no wonder that he would lose. Qu Chi has always respected Master Wood, and he also hoped to get his teachings, but he didn't expect that now he has no intention of inserting willows and hitting the right way, so that he can become a disciple of Master Wood, so he will not let go of this opportunity to apprentice.

Seeing that Qu Chi not only did not object, but was very happy, Bertha immediately called Master Wood Charlesbo. What Bertha didn't expect was that Teacher Wood not only didn't think there was anything wrong with the master being younger than the apprentice, but also persuaded Bertha to accept Qu Chi, a rare apprentice, "The so-called master and apprentice are just a name, and they can learn from each other and improve their skills in the future, isn't it a good thing for each other?" ”

In this way, Bertha took in the first apprentice in her life. And Ling Anxun also had his first nephew because of this.

After listening to Qu Chi's narration, Ling Anxun and Han Yuyan both felt that although this old man was a little old-fashioned in some aspects, he was a true man who believed in his words and did things very seriously. If this relationship with Sister Bertha can make her innovate in the traditional skills of the composer, it will be a beautiful conversation.

And Bertha did exactly that, after accepting Qu Chi's student, Bertha began to travel around the world while collecting all kinds of new techniques and materials for making suits. And the relationship between Bertha and Qu Chi is not so much a master and apprentice, but more like a grandson. Bertha not only thinks about Quchi everywhere in his career, but also makes gifts for Quchi every New Year's Festival or Quchi's birthday. Even if Bertha can't deliver the gift to Quchi by hand while traveling around the world, she will ask someone she trusts to bring it herself.

This time, Ling Anxun received the entrustment of his senior sister and the gifts prepared by him on the morning of his trip to Jincheng. And it was in order to fulfill his sister's entrustment that he personally gave Quchi his 65th birthday gift, which made a temporary change, changing the original itinerary of Jincheng to fly back to Shengdu to fly directly from Jincheng to Pearl. In other words, to a certain extent, it was the keeping of his promise that allowed Ling Anxun to avoid the attack of the suspected mastermind behind the scenes.

At this time, the three of them had finished drinking tea in the living room. Qu Lao picked up the teapot and went to the kitchen to store water, and Ling Anxun finally seized the opportunity and took out the gift of Bertha in his backpack.

Qu Lao came back from the kitchen and saw this gift box from a distance. He took three steps and two steps, came to the coffee table, put down the teapot, and held the gift box.

"This is from Sister Bertha, she said that according to the tradition of country C, this year is a relatively big birthday for you. She should have come to celebrate your birthday in person. The task assigned by the teacher has not been completed yet, and it will take a few days to come back, so he entrusted me to bring the gift first. When she comes back, she will come to your door to make up for your birthday. ”

"How good is this, just give me a gift, how can I let the master celebrate the birthday ......of the apprentice, it is not in accordance with the rules, it is not in accordance with the rules, it is not in accordance with the rules," Qu Lao said, but he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

"It's nothing, Old Qu, this is all a piece of senior sister's heart, you don't have to care." Ling Anxun said, helping Qu Lao pour tea, "Qu Lao, why don't you take a look at what kind of gift it is?" ”

"Hey, yes, yes." Qu Chi was already happy at this time, but he didn't expect that he would recognize a master by chance, but he was better than his own grandson.

When I opened the gift box, I saw that it was neither luxurious luxury jewelry nor electronic products, but a thick folder with "To Mr. Qu" written in flowers. This is the third time Qu Chi has received a birthday gift from Bertha, the first time is an ancient ceremonial dress designed by Bertha himself, and the second time is a top hat designed by Bertha, and what will be in this folder prepared by Bertha this time?

Without Ling Anxun's urging again, Qu Chi couldn't wait to open the folder, only to see that there were design drawings and related experiences inside. It turns out that this is a collection of case studies created by Bertha based on the new techniques of suit making and the fashion elements that can be used on suits that he has collected for Qu Chi in the past few years of traveling around the world.

"Although these senior sisters have sent them to you before, she is worried that you are not used to reading electronic design drawings, so she specially condensed the essence of the information given to you before, and hand-drew it with her own experience, hoping to help you better use it in future productions." Ling Anxun explained on the side.

Qu Chi looked at it page by page, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. And Ling Anxun and Han Yuyan clearly saw that the old man's eyes were already filled with tears. Also, no matter how valuable a gift is, it may not be as precious as Bertha's heart. However, Qu Chi had more than that. The old man's son is blessed, his wife is gone early, and his only son is an adult because he doesn't like the ancestral craftsmanship of the Qu family, so he opened a trading company in Shengdu in the north, and now it is also the largest sales agent of the "Qu's Garment" factory. Although the only grandson is quite talented in dressmaking, he has not yet made up his mind, and Qu Lao can only wait until he sees his grandson during the winter and summer vacations to enjoy his family. Bertha's appearance undoubtedly fills the gap in Qu Lao's heart, and although the two have different opinions on clothing, they are generally like-minded. After two years of Bertha's subtle teachings, Qu Lao has become more and more able to accept new things, and learn from Bertha's style to integrate them into the new costumes of the Qu family. "Qu's Clothing" was even more praised by the media, as if it had suddenly rejuvenated. What Bertha did, Qu Lao remembered it in his heart, how could he not be moved?

"Master, she, she's so nice." Qu Chi didn't know what to use to describe Bertha for a while.

Ling Anxun couldn't help but say with a warm smile on her face, "Senior Sister Bertha is like this, she is kind-hearted and brings people to be sincere and sincere. ”

"Yes, that's true, I'm lucky to have a teacher." Qu Chi sighed.

Ling Anxun really likes this kind of friendship between Senior Sister Bertha and Qu Lao, they are also teachers and friends, not relatives are better than relatives. You know, looking at the global design community, let alone such a relationship, I'm afraid it's rare to even get along peacefully. On the contrary, it is still ruthless and cruel competition and more deceitful and deceitful. After all, there are many practitioners in this industry, but there are few who are famous. In order to become famous, many people have chosen shortcuts and extraordinary means, so there is rarely a sincere friendship in the entire design circle.

Although Ling Anxun was talented and became famous early, he did not escape the jealousy of other designers. When traveling around the world, they are often subjected to white eyes and unfriendly behavior. Fortunately, Ling Anxun's strength is excellent, and there is the secret protection of the Ling family, so that these people can't take advantage of it at all, even if it is very excessive, they will inevitably be "counter-killed" by Ling Anxun, just like Li Weiwei. Fortunately, such as Li Weiwei and the like, it is not the norm, most people bury their jealousy in their hearts, and only dare to secretly make a stumbling block for Ling Anxun in private. Therefore, Ling Anxun has cultivated a heart of defense, once he enters the design circle, he must be cautious and do everything himself.
