Chapter 509: The School Bully Once Passed By (19)
"Boss, is this okay?"
"no problem."
The boss said to the woman, "We are a talented painter in our shop. We will satisfy all your needs."
The woman continued, "I just saw a plate with you guys drawn on it. Can you draw me and my husband on it, too?"
"This……"
The boss was embarrassed and looked at Gu Yuxi, who nodded. He explained, "Yuxi helped us draw this. Now she is here, so it may take time for you two to draw it."
"We can afford to wait."
"There are also choices in the materials of porcelain. The porcelain plates that have not been painted are over here. Please follow me."
"Thank you for your help, little girl."
After choosing the plates, the woman sat next to the man, and the two of them held hands happily. The boss and his wife thoughtfully moved two pots of nandina domestica next to them as a background.
He walked over and asked, "Cousin-in-law, what's going on?"
"This lady is planning to open a small workshop to make porcelain toys and is looking for partners. She just walked around our store and left. We have the intention to cooperate with her, but she said that our cartoon porcelain has no characteristics, so she came to your store now."
He looked around and whispered, "Her husband is a wealthy businessman. I met him at a trade show. He has a wide network of contacts."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your business?"
"My wife is your cousin. Although we are in the same industry, our clients are different. If you have the ability to compete with me, I will accept it. Besides, we are family." The man vowed.
"I don't have that intention. The conditions do not allow it."
"I knew it, but this girl's painting style has changed recently and she has made great progress. I heard that Mr. Huang... Hmm!"
The boss covered the man's mouth and signaled him not to speak. The man glanced at the scar on the painter's wrist and felt guilty. Pressure only comes to miserable people, and he also sympathized with the girl.
"The painting is good. Why don't you let her work in my shop and make porcelain dolls for her? I'll give her..."
"No, I need people in my store too."
The main reason is that Gu Yuxi's recent works are selling well, and the value of some of them can be increased several times or even dozens of times, such as this couple who bought porcelain.
Gu Yuxi took the brush and carefully painted on the porcelain. When only the Nandina domestica was left, she said, "You two can go now. The rest of the background can be painted soon."
"Less than fifteen minutes, very quick."
The woman stood behind Gu Yuxi and watched her quietly as she added the rest of the background. The people in the painting looked very happy, and every scene and object was lifelike.
After drawing the last stroke, the woman said, "Can you write an inscription? Just write "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will be together till old age", and add the date. What do you think, dear?"
"Just do as my wife says. Write your name on this, too. Or have a seal on it."
After finishing the words, Gu Yuxi took out a seal. The seal was very clever, complex and exquisite. Finally, she picked up a cinnabar pen as thin as a needle tip and wrote her name.
"Yuxi, your anti-counterfeiting operation is very powerful. If you look closely with a magnifying glass, you can see the clues."
"It's just a token of my appreciation, ma'am. It needs time to dry. We can send someone to deliver it to your house in person."
"I don't mind. Can your store design porcelain toys?"
Gu Yuxi tactfully withdrew, and the boss took him to the study. Perhaps porcelain could have more innovation and development.
"Yuxi, you are amazing. The boss may give us a bonus since we have sold so many porcelains recently."
"Xixi, your painting seems to have achieved enlightenment. Whoever gets the most prize money will have to treat us to a meal!"
"No problem, everyone keep busy, I'll go outside and continue to look after the stall."
"You go ahead. I can't paint in a place like that."
Returning to the original stall, Gu Yuxi took the paintbrush and dipped it in paint, and the third work of the day was almost completed.
Suddenly she caught a glimpse of several acquaintances in casual clothes walking towards her, including Mo Jinzhao. She continued painting, intending to complete the last stroke.
This is the second time Gu Yuxi sees Mo Jinchao after being discharged from the hospital. The new keyword prompt "young and promising" seems to have nothing to do with him, but she recognizes this friend.
Mo Jinzhao walked over quickly and saw the girl with a ponytail on her shoulder. She was staring intently at the teapot in front of her. Her slender white hands were placed on the ears of the teapot. The tip of the pen was embellishing and outlining, and a picture of withered lotus and dragonflies was ready.
The girl put down her paintbrush and carefully placed the tea set aside. Only then did Mo Jinzhao dare to walk over.
"Yuxi."
"Why are you here today?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you today with Commander Di."
Gu Yuxi then shifted his gaze from Mo Jinzhao to Di Song and the others, and greeted them politely: "Hello, everyone."
"Sister Yuxi, we were busy before. Today we came to see you. You have been... Hey, who pushed me?"
"Sister, we are about to leave Lake City. I don't know when we will meet next time, so I stopped by to see you."
"This is a small gift I brought for you. I hope you like it." Di Song handed over a snack gift package. He didn't know what the child would like.
"Commander Di, this is not necessary."
"My tone may have been a little inappropriate that day. Please bear with me. In our line of work, we must manage time very carefully."
"Don't be polite, sister. Di Song is a little stubborn and serious, but he doesn't mean to be mean to you." The captain spoke up.
"Yeah, little sister, don't take it to heart. We old men don't know the art of language."
Gu Yuxi looked at the gift bag that was stuffed into her and could only say, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"How much do you sell your porcelain for? I like it very much. How much is it?"
"This one is 200 each, this one is 500..."
"How many of these two did you draw?"
"The boss quoted a price of eight hundred. Are you sure you want to buy it?" This is the price the boss's wife just mentioned.
"I didn't expect your craft to be so profitable."
Di Song picked up the teapot that Gu Yuxi had just painted. It had considerable artistic value and would be worth more than just 800 yuan in the future. If his grandmother liked it, perhaps he could send it to her.
"Do you still have your works? I bought them all."
Gu Yuxi shook his head and explained, "We don't have any left at the moment. Two customers just came and bought five pieces at once. I only have these two pieces left, the teapot and the round sky and square earth."
"Did you write this?"
"I wrote it, is there a problem?"
Looking at the elegant cursive script, Di Song picked up the round sky and square earth and couldn't put it down. His teammates just said, "This word is beautiful. Maybe one day, sister Yuxi, when you become famous, these works will appreciate in value."
"I wish I could put my stamp and my name on the work, as you said."
"I bought both of these. Please check out."
"Okay, I just finished painting this one. It will take an hour or two to dry."
"It's okay, we came here to treat you to a meal, and now it's time to get off work."
"But I..."
