The discussion about Zuo Hancheng continued, but they walked a little further away. Anhao placed the book on the bookshelf and walked out from the rows of shelves.
From the age of 20 to 21, yesterday was her birthday. Her roommates celebrated her birthday with her and were very happy. They drank wine and ate cake.
Before she went abroad to study, she had thought that her life was already like that. It was only after Zuo Hancheng entered her world that she was able to add some unexpected splendor to it.
However, she did not expect that after she went abroad, she would be faced with completely unfamiliar people and environments. No one knew about her past, and no one would look at her with prejudice. She could make friends here as she pleased, and she could work hard to learn spoken English with a group of foreign students from China. She tried her best to learn new knowledge in every design class.
In fact, Anhao did not know how Zuo Hancheng knew her so well. When she did not even know what her hobbies were, Zuo Hanchengs men in America sent her here.
It was a famous college in the United States, and the courses she she enrolled in were architectural design and interior design, as well as some knowledge related to business budget. This did not have high requirements for her academic credits and cultural knowledge in the country, so she could start from there very easily. Moreover, it was only after studying here for a while that Anhao realized that she actually liked doing architectural design homework so much.
Just like the rooms on the second floor of the Gilt Scenery Garden, she had poured a lot of effort into them. Just like the favorite gift that Zuo Hancheng had given her back then, the set of jewelry that she could match and design as she pleased, she treated it as a treasure.
It turned out that she liked to pour her own concept and soul into everything, as if this was the only way to truly belong to her.
When did Zuo Hancheng discover her little hobby? Even she herself did not realize it.
She only knew that she had been very relaxed during the year she had studied here. Whether it was her interpersonal relationships or her studies, they had advanced by leaps and bounds compared to back in China. She had made many new friends here. Although they were not as close as Chunchun and Huang Amao, they could at least support and comfort each other when they were in a foreign country.
She had been in this place for one year, in a new environment and a new world. She thought that she could completely forget everything about A City.
She even thought that when Zuo Hancheng sent her the divorce papers, she should really let go of everything in the past and face a new life with a new body and mind.
Recently, she had been preparing a design draft for a simulated building. She hadn’t gone to the professor to review it yet. After looking through the design drawings and information for so long, her heart, which was completely focused on her studies, was suddenly disrupted by a few words from those new international students.
When she found out that Zuo Hancheng had come to Boston, Anhao did not know what she was expecting. She knew that they were already divorced and that it was her choice back then.
She knew that she had deliberately said those words during the divorce to make Zuo Hancheng feel cold towards her. She knew that…Even if he was in Boston, he wouldn’t come looking for him.
If he was going to come, he would have come yesterday. After all, yesterday was her 21st birthday.
But he didn’t appear. So, even if he was in Boston, what could he do?
It should be a coincidence.
Anhao came out of the library. It was spring again, but Boston was much cooler than China in spring.
As soon as she walked out, she tightened her coat and was about to go to the professor to ask for help to review her new design drafts.
As soon as she entered the professor’s office, the old professor was looking at the design drafts of other students. Anhao walked in and said softly,””Professor, my…”
“Hello.” The professor was a Chinese American who spoke both Chinese and English very well. He said that he had stayed in A City a few decades ago, so his relationship with Anhao was especially good. Sometimes, the relationship between the old professor and Anhao was more like a grandfather and granddaughter.
When he saw Anhao, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.””You came at the right time. I was just about to find you.”
“The professor is looking for me?” Anhao walked in.”
“There will be a tender meeting held by several Chinese companies and foreign joint ventures at XX Square this afternoon. There will be many company designs there. I was planning to let you go to the venue to observe and take some of the design drawings of those world-famous big companies. Of course, you must get their permission before taking photos. Otherwise, even if I take them back as teaching materials and not for commercial use, I will still be sued for copyright. You must remember this.”
When she heard the name XX plaza, Anhao’s expression turned blank for a moment.
However, ever since she went abroad to study, she had deliberately restrained her rebellious and impulsive personality. She did not ask any unnecessary questions and only looked at the old professor’s serious expression.”XX Square? How could I possibly enter that kind of bidding? Moreover, this kind of event is usually organized by Chinese people. Even if I’m Chinese, they might not give me face.”
“Sigh, since I asked you to go, I must have my reasons.”The old professor smiled and adjusted his glasses.”Don’t worry. There are two of my students from many years ago at the tender today. They originally invited me to attend today, but there are too many design drafts that need to be reviewed recently. I don’t have time to go, so I sent you to help take some photos.”
“No, how could I be unwilling?”
Anhao wasn’t stupid. No matter what kind of design, it had to go through various practical means to observe and learn before it could get better. The old professor gave her the opportunity to personally go to the scene to see the actual design. It was obvious that he was biased towards her. How could she
be so stupid as to say that she wasn’t willing?
Although the words XX Square had become a little sensitive to her, the professor wanted the photos urgently. Moreover, the bidding was in the afternoon, so she could not refuse or prepare anything.
After coming out of the professor’s office, Anhao looked at the professional camera that the professor had just handed to her to take photos of the design drawings. She fiddled with it and studied how to use it. At the same time, she was considering whether she should ask the school for a badge to prove her identity as a student of this school, so as to avoid being stopped when she really went to the venue.
Before she left, she rummaged through her bag and realized that she had forgotten to give the design drafts to the professor. Anhao raised her hand and slapped her head, angry that she had suddenly become a pigs head. Her memory was so bad! However, if he rushed back from the school gate now, he would not be able to make it in time for the auction in the afternoon.
She could only store the design drafts in her bag for the time being. She was careful not to break the corners. In the end, she held the camera that the professor gave her like a treasure and rushed to the construction bidding venue of XX Square..
