Chapter 721 Talent
“Brother Tingxi, design needs inspiration. I’m going to visit the nearby universities and find inspiration in the vibrant world of youth and the academic atmosphere I’m familiar with. I’ve already found a tour guide, so you don’t have to worry.”
After saying that, Hao Tianyi was about to leave excitedly when Li Tingxi raised his hand to stop her: "Is Le Yixun going too?"
Hao Tianyi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise, "What does my drawing have to do with Le Yixun? Brother Tingxi, you should be more worried about Su Youling and Le Yixun's affair. The person he wants to steal from your wife is your bride. Why are you staring at me like this?"
"You!" Li Tingxi's handsome face darkened, and he said coldly, "I don't care where you go, but you have to have a driver with you. Otherwise, if something like what happened last time happens again, do you really expect Le Yixun to come out and play the hero a second time?"
Hao Tianyi pursed her lips. "I know, why have you become as long-winded as my parents? Oh well, I'll have the driver come along. You go and do your own thing."
After receiving Hao Tianyi's repeated assurances, Li Tingxi gave the driver some more instructions before agreeing to release her, but secretly sent two more bodyguards to follow her.
He didn't want what happened last time to happen again.
Otherwise, how could he face Hao Tianyi's parents?
Hao Tianyi had no idea about Li Tingxi's anxious, fatherly heart. He was determined to move forward and spent three days traveling through most of City A. At each place, different inspirations came to him.
This city is both ancient and prosperous, both high-profile and silent. Every nook and cranny holds untold stories. Only by understanding this city can one design works that truly move those who understand it.
However, while many inspirations may flash by, it takes a wealth of creative experience and cultural background to integrate these whimsical ideas into a perfect work in a short period of time.
Hao Tianyi studied design abroad, and her design concepts are trendy and fashionable, keeping up with the times. Most of what she has seen and heard is the design style of Europe and the Pacific Ocean.
But living in this historic city, she wanted to try designing its cultural charm, like a thrilling journey to find her roots, with every day filled with new experiences and ideas.
Unfortunately, she went abroad at a very young age, and there were still many obstacles in her efforts to turn the clash between two completely different cultures into a strength.
By sheer coincidence, Hao Tianyi actually saw Le Yixun in a park at sunset. He was dressed like a rainbow doll, covered in colorful ribbons and stickers, and surrounded by a group of chattering children who kept sticking colorful paper strips on him.
It looks like they're playing some kind of game.
Le Yixun appeared very relaxed and enjoying herself, as if she were engrossed in this childish but fun-filled game, truly revealing her relaxed side.
Not far away, there was a neatly arranged drawing board.
Hao Tianyi didn't disturb him as he was engrossed in the game. She quietly glanced at a drawing board and was immediately captivated by the set of wine utensils on the design draft, which had an exceptionally bright color scheme and design.
Suddenly, Yue Yixun's voice rang out above her head: "Look all you want, but don't drool over my design draft. It took me almost half a month to complete, it won't be ruined at all."
Hao Tianyi subconsciously wiped her mouth, only then realizing how stupid her behavior was. Blushing, she turned to look at him and asked, "Is this a drawing of bronze wine vessels from the Xia and Shang dynasties?"
Le Yixun raised an eyebrow: "You know about this?"
"It's true that I studied abroad from a young age, but I'm not a..."

"Ignorant foreigners, this kind of history and culture that I'm so proud of, I'd take it with me even if I went to my grave." Hao Tianyi rolled her eyes. "But your mixed-race face is so unconvincing. If we're talking about closeness and distance, aren't you the outsider?"
"It's been so long, and you're still as good at roasting people as ever!" Le Yixun chuckled, a rare moment of seriousness in his eyes. "Feeling better after roasting someone?"
Hao Tianyi was taken aback.
Did he realize he was in a bad mood?
"It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just irritable. I have a lot of ideas in my head, but I don't know how to combine them into a satisfactory work." Hao Tianyi patted her head and said dejectedly, "Of all times, I got stuck with a bug. I'm actually quite annoyed."
“Design should be something enjoyable, a natural process. If you pursue the result too much, you will forget your original intention.” Le Yixun took Hao Tianyi’s hand. “How about it, do you want to play with the children for a while? They are the happiest little angels in the world, and happiness is contagious.”
Hao Tianyi hesitated for a moment.
If she were alone, she would definitely lock herself away and immerse herself in creation during this time until she breaks through the bottleneck, and she wouldn't allow herself to do anything unserious during such a serious time.
For example, playing games with children.
A classic case of neglecting one's proper duties!
But thinking about how happily Le Yixun had just played with the children, and how he still had so many messy notes stuck to his body, and how his smile was radiating from the inside out... Hao Tianyi didn't struggle and let him lead her to join the children's childish games.
After a crazy afternoon, she gradually forgot why she had come to this park looking for inspiration. Her mind was filled with novel and interesting ideas, which automatically strung together into lively pictures amidst the children's innocent and happy smiles.
"I've got it! I've got it!" Hao Tianyi suddenly excitedly took off the drawing board she was carrying and threw it to Le Yixun and the children before running off to the side to start drawing her design.
Focus and concentrate.
Winters in City A are bitterly cold. Children are bundled up like little bears, armed from head to toe, and pedestrians cover their mouths and hurry along, shivering from the cold.
But Hao Tianyi seemed oblivious to the cold, sitting on a park bench, unfolding her easel, and beginning to paint, staring intently at the canvas for over an hour.
During this time, Yue Yixun, for some unknown reason, moved his drawing board and sat down next to her, occasionally making changes to his design and then glancing at Hao Tianyi.
He was generous in offering his advice and guidance when he noticed any inconsistencies.
After a while, Hao Tianyi became less coy and would ask Le Yixun questions whenever she didn't understand something, sharing all her strange and unusual ideas with him without holding anything back.
Because Le Yixun's company has the best fashion team with the best global art resources, and he himself is a well-known genius in the industry. He doesn't have many design works, but each one is a treasure, attracting people to cooperate with him.
Le Yixun felt that Hao Tianyi was quite unique when she got serious, and then she remembered why she felt that this little girl looked familiar when she first met her.
His company pays attention to international competitions of all sizes every year to discover designers with great potential. He first recognized Su Youling's talent when he was a judge.
Unfortunately, she had already been taken under the wing of that cunning old fox, Master Yin, and her original intentions remained unchanged. So no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win her over; instead, he ended up giving his heart away.
