The old man did not force her.

Wang Hui couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, ‘What an unpresentable woman! She refuses to go to such a good event!’

However, it was also a good opportunity for He Shihui to show off.

As soon as Su Lu arrived at the scene, he was surrounded by many people. Although his attire was not eye-catching, his art exhibition was too successful. Many people who really loved painting and knew how to paint admired him. They wanted to talk to her.

He Shihui, who was dressed up, appeared with Wang Hui and Li Yishou. She was quickly surrounded by some people from the business world.

“This time, Master Carlo will definitely take in an apprentice, and it’ll definitely be Miss He!” someone praised.

“That’s for sure. The standard of Miss He’s paintings is so high. People love her work! With Master Carlo’s level of appreciation, he’ll definitely be able to tell how exquisite her art is.”

“Miss He will definitely win this time!”

Everyone couldn’t help but compliment her.

Many could not help but look at He Shihui enviously. She was so talented and had such a background. It was only right for Carlo to like her, right?

This was really enviable.

In particular, some small-time artists felt that they did not have a prominent background and were afraid that they would not be so easily chosen by Carlo. Although the outside world said that he valued talent more than anything else, how could things be easy in the business world?

Would he really take a fancy to a truly poor and talented person?

“Thank you, everyone. Master Carlo is outstanding and has a unique taste. He must have his own way of choosing talents. I think we should leave everything to him!” He Shihui said generously.

“Yes, Miss He, you’re right.”

“Miss He, you’re so humble. You’re definitely the person Master Carlo admires!”

Everyone praised her even more.

He Shihui was indeed very confident. After all, she had already made the paintings flawless. She should be able to succeed.

Li Yishou, who was behind her, also revealed a proud expression. She had done her best this time. As long as He Shihui was chosen by Master Carlo, her future would be even brighter.

She secretly glanced at Qian Gouhua, who was following Su Lu, and revealed a trace of disdain. Qian Gouhua really thought that she would reconcile with him?

Qian Gouhua saw her gaze and couldn’t help but smile. What happened that night had indeed made his heart flutter. He couldn’t forget it. It was just that his moral bottom line restrained him from taking action.

But if there was really a chance, he didn’t know if he could resist like before.

Soon, someone said, “Master Carlo is here!”

Everyone immediately looked in that direction.

Master Carlo appeared in front of everyone in a simple outfit. His beard and hair were all white, and he had a thick beard. He looked very imposing and gentlemanly.

His paintings had been auctioned for tens of millions of dollars and enjoyed an extremely high reputation. They were highly admired in the academic and painting worlds. They were really famous and well-deserved.

After he appeared, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

After Master Carlo greeted everyone, he invited them to take their seats.

Because of Old Master He, He Shihui was in the front row. This was also an important reason why everyone thought highly of her.

Su Bei and Qian Gouhua were in the back row. The two of them had just made a name for themselves in the United States, so it was already good enough for them to be invited.

People kept greeting Master Carlo and exchanging pleasantries with him.

The host quickly stood on the stage and said with a smile, “Thank you all for coming to the apprentice recruitment banquet today. Everyone knows that Master Carlo cherishes talents very much and has high attainment in oil painting. Today, he’s here to take in an apprentice. I wonder who the lucky one who caught our master’s eye is?”

Everyone was discussing and waiting eagerly.

Many people did not have high hopes for themselves, but they still wanted to know if the person chosen by Master Carlo could really convince the public.

After whispering a few words to Carlo, the host stood up again. “I’m sure everyone has their own candidate in mind, right? Master Carlo has his own candidate too. Let me reveal the name of this lucky person…”

Qian Gouhua could not help but say in a low voice, “It should be Su Lu, right? It should be, right?”

Su Bei couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you talking about?”

“I think it must be you.” Qian Guohua was very confident in Su Lu.

“Not necessarily. Don’t have too high expectations of me.” It wasn’t that Su Bei didn’t believe in herself, but there were many capable people present. The master must have his own preferences. It was indeed hard to say if she would be chosen.

Moreover, she had always felt that whether she was chosen or not was not a determining factor of her ability. Even if she did not succeed, it could not erase her ability and talent.

The host announced with a smile, “It’s… He Shihui!”

There was a round of applause. Many people had expected He Shihui to be chosen.

Even if someone had a different opinion, they couldn’t say anything.

“Congratulations, Miss He!” Li Yishou was also pleasantly surprised. Her efforts had not been in vain. She had finally succeeded.

He Shihui nodded reservedly. She stood up in surprise and walked onto the stage.

“Congratulations, Miss He! You’ve become Master Carlo’s beloved apprentice! You can learn from him in the future!”

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Master Carlo. A teacher for a day is a father for life. I’ll definitely study hard in the future,” He Shihui said sincerely.

She was indeed overjoyed and especially excited.

By following Carlo, one could learn far more than just painting.

That was He Shihui’s goal. As long as she established this relationship with him, how could Carlo not bring her along in the business world in the future?

Old Master He was also exceptionally happy. He Shihui was indeed his most talented granddaughter. To be able to enjoy such an honor made him feel proud.

Everyone was also congratulating him. “Old Master He, your granddaughter is really amazing! She simply inherited all your talents!”

“Old Master He has nurtured her well. We’re simply envious.”

“But Shihui is already married and has children. Otherwise, I would have asked my grandson to marry her!”

“Everyone, thank you for your kind words.” Old Master He waved his hand humbly.

Wang Hui also said, “Dad, among all your grandchildren, Shihui is the most like you and listens to you the most. She’ll definitely be filial to you in the future.”
