Chapter 382: Situation
I don't know if I'm explaining to Jin Yu or myself.
"I'm going to answer the phone and I'll be right over."
He didn't wait for Jin Yu's reaction as he spoke, turned around dutifully, and quickly ran away in the opposite direction.
It wasn't until she couldn't feel Jin Yu's scorching gaze behind her that Bai Rouying stopped, she pinched her phone and slowly sighed.
At this time, it has been a while, and the mobile phone ringtone finally stopped after ringing for a circle, but after only a few seconds, it began to vibrate violently again, and the crisp ringtone came out again.
Bai Rouying took a few deep breaths in a row, adjusted her emotions, and tried to calm her emotions before she looked down at the phone in her hand.
The names on the screen are exceptionally familiar.
She was Bai Rouying's mentor when she studied design abroad.
When Bai Rouying was in school before, the tutor was actually very optimistic about him, and always wanted Bai Rouying to continue his studies under him, and that tutor has always cultivated Bai Rouying as his successor.
Later, in order to investigate the cause of her parents' deaths, Bai Rouying had to give up her studies and return to China.
The fact that she returned to China has always been a big regret in the heart of this mentor.
Now that she received a call from her teacher, Bai Rouying was a little weak-hearted.
"Mentor Keynes." Bai Rouying clenched her fists nervously and said in slightly dry English.
The attitude is very respectful, and the tone is full of respect for his former mentor.
Tutor Keynes is a teacher in one of the world's top 10 universities in the United States, and is one of the well-known design experts at home and abroad.
He is actually very old, and now he is only a name in school, and he rarely goes to class anymore, Bai Rouying is actually the last class of students he has led.
Although it is not the most talented and aura he has ever seen, it has always been the one that makes him feel the most regretful.
"Bai, I'm calling you today, because I have something to look for you." Mentor Keynes was a standard American, who did not know anything about modesty and tactfulness, and was straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
There is not the slightest bit of mud and water.
Hearing the voice of Keynes's mentor, Bai Rouying almost immediately thought of the scene when she was studying under him.
She subconsciously straightened up: "Mentor Keynes, please say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best." β
It seems that the mentor Keynes has helped Bai Rouying very much, and during the most difficult period of time he has lived in the United States, it has always been the Keynes mentor who helped him, so Bai Rouying has always treated him like his own father.
Since it was something that Keynes's mentor proposed, if she could do it, Bai Rouying had no reason to refuse.
Keynes didn't expect Bai Rouying to agree so quickly, he muttered for a while: "You just agreed, don't you ask me if I have anything to find you?" β
"I believe in you, teacher." Bai Rouying said truthfully, "The relationship between the two of us has been between teachers and students for so many years, and if I don't believe anyone, I can't help but believe you." β
After chatting, it gradually got better, and the tone returned to its former intimacy and closeness.
Tutor Keynes laughed a few times, and seemed to be very satisfied with Bai Rouying's answer: "Okay, good, Bai, you really deserve to be my protΓ©gΓ©, and you really won my heart!" β
Bai Rouying is sure that the Keynesian mentor is still the same Keynesian mentor as before, he doesn't know the slightest tactfulness, he has always been straightforward, whether he praises or belittles people, he never turns a corner.
"Although you believe in me so much, I still have to make things clear to you." "I've been working on a very big design project lately, and the pay is about seven figures, and I'm still short of some people, so I want you to come back to the U.S. and be part of this project." β
The design projects that I was able to find a Cairns mentor were definitely very large design projects.
Bai Rouying almost immediately affirmed that the 7-digit figure that Keynes's mentor said was the 7-digit figure of the US dollar.
That's not a small amount.
"Let me be part of this project?" Bai Rouying was really a little stunned, she hesitated for a while, bit her lip slightly, and asked honestly, "I'm very sorry, teacher, I want to know why you chose me." β
Being able to design under a mentor like John Keynes and participate in his projects is definitely something that every student in the University School of Design is looking forward to.
Bai Rouying has been away from the United States for so many years, and because she refused to keep her from Keynes's mentor back then, she has never had the face to contact Keynes's mentor, so he really can't figure out why Keynes chose to contact him.
"Didn't I already say that? I don't have enough people under my staff. Keynes said.
Bai Rouying didn't believe it at all, he shook his head again: "Teacher, don't lie to me again, with your big name, as long as you release a little bit of the news that you want to recruit people, there are not countless well-known or unknown designers in the United States, one after another, how can you lack assistants?" β
Even if Keynes reveals a little bit of the idea of recruiting troops for his subordinates, there will be a huge shock in the American design community.
In other words, it is not only the design community in the United States, but also the design community in the whole world will have a huge shock.
Keynes sighed: "You are still as smart and sharp as before, and you are truly worthy of being a student whom I admire." β
Although Bai Rouying was not the smartest or the most aura among the many students Keynes taught, she was always his favorite.
The reason is naturally that Bai Rouying is smart enough and works hard enough.
When she was studying in the United States, Bai Rouying showed perseverance far beyond ordinary people, starting from a little thing from the beginning, and worked hard to contact and learn design.
In the past, Keynes's temper was really not good, he was a very stubborn little old man, and when Bai Rouying was a student under him and occasionally used him as an assistant, he was not less scolded.
At that time, I don't know how many people finally left Keynes because of his temper.
Bai Rouying is the one who persists the longest, and the one who performs the best.
So after having such a project, the first person that came to Keynes's mind was Bai Rouying.
It's just that Bai Rouying can't understand it, the most important thing is that she is very clear about her own level: "But ......"
In the past, Bai Rouying was indeed talented in design, but in the matter of design, in addition to examining talent, the more important thing is actually hard work.
In the past, Bai Rouying was indeed very hard-working, and he would spend countless hours learning design every day, which was the reason why he was able to impress Jin Yu with his design works just after he returned to China.
It's just that there have been too many things that have happened in the recent period, and Bai Rouying has also experienced too many complicated things, she is so busy with revenge and revenge on Jin Yu that she can't spare time at all, and she can't spare her hands to continue to design.
The project that can be handed over to the Cairns mentor is definitely a very big project, and Bai Rouying is really worried that her joining will drag the whole team back.
"Nothing good to do." Keynes interrupted Bai Rouying impatiently, "You just say if you're willing to do me a favor, right?" β
"Teacher, don't be kidding." Bai Rouying smiled bitterly, "How can I do you a favor, I'm afraid I'll drag you back......"
"I said you kid, the older you get, the less cute you are." Keynes couldn't hold back and sighed, "In this project, one of Party A's partners is Chinese, and since we don't know Chinese very well, we decided to ask you to come over and help." β
Of course, in fact, this Chinese among the partners of Party A basically does not care much about the design, and the reason why Keynes proposed it at this time is just to press Bai Rouying's heart.
After Bai Rouying heard this, her heart was really a lot more steady.
She pursed her lips slightly: "If you don't dislike it, teacher, of course I'm willing to join your team." β
The hearty laughter of Keynes's mentor came from the phone.
For Bai Rouying's answer, the little old man's mood looked good, and he was very happy: "This is the first thing, and there is another thing I want to tell you, when the design of this project is completed, I estimate that our American designer competition will also start, and I hope you can come and participate with you at that time." β
Bai Rouying participated in the American designer competition during her study abroad, but because he had just entered the university at that time, he did not have much systematic design knowledge to learn and contact.
As a result, he ended up in the top 8 of the competition - although it is already a very good result for a newcomer in the design world.
But Keynes was still not satisfied.
In the next few years of the competition, although Bai Rouying already had the ability to compete in the field, she was too busy, and basically every time the competition started during the Cairns project team's project pick-up period, so basically every time she missed the competition.
So much so that the name Bai Rouying is just a flash in the pan in the American design world.
After winning the 8th place in a certain competition, showing her outstanding design talent and design talent, she suddenly disappeared.
Bai Rouying nodded, and just wanted to agree, but a voice suddenly choked in her throat.
She clenched her hand on her phone, looked up and looked ahead, just in time to see the direction in front of her, Jin Yu was standing in the shade of the tree in front of her, her back straight, and her eyes were heavy.
His eyes are gloomy, and he looks a little inexplicably frightened.
Bai Rouying's heart trembled inexplicably twice, and her fingers pinched the phone, and she was pale because she was too hard.
She swallowed: "I'm very sorry teacher, I still have some things to deal with here, and I'll call you back when I'm done dealing with things." β
"Huh!" The Keynes tutor on the other end of the phone frowned fiercely, his expression was slightly displeased, he snorted, as if he wanted to say something, but just after he started, the phone was hung up by Bai Rouying without hesitation.
Jin Yu still stood in place and didn't move, so he looked at Bai Rouying for a while, the look in his eyes was complicated and inexplicable, and people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Bai Rouying's heart was beating fast, but even she couldn't understand why she was so nervous and worried.
Obviously, he didn't do anything wrong, whether he went to the United States or somewhere, it was her own freedom, and whatever decision they could make.
"Why are you here?" Bai Rouying forcibly suppressed the anxious emotion in her heart, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, smiled softly, and quietly took a few breaths as she spoke, making her voice sound extraordinarily calm.
