This night, Liu Yan had a good night's sleep.

The next day, she came to Bang's tattoo studio at the same time as she had agreed with Bang last night, and for the sake of this business, her calligraphy tools were left in Bang's office, and she will continue to use them today anyway.

The three characters she wrote here yesterday, Bang has collected the seal book version, and hung them in the most conspicuous place in the office, which can be seen as soon as you enter the door, as an alternative tattoo advertisement. The other two regular script and official script plates were taken away by Jason, who he said he wanted to keep in his home.

Liu Yan thought she was on time, but she didn't expect that the female customer who changed her boyfriend like changing clothes had already arrived.

The appearance of the female client is really like her heroic style - she also has a flower arm, Jason on the left, she is on the right, but the color lines are not as dense as Jason. So exaggerated, in fact, she was dressed in a decent way, not unusual at all, with a high neck and sleeveless knit, a black hip skirt, stiletto heels, long dark blonde hair softly draped over her shoulders, big dark blue eyes, and a delicate face, if you ignore her bare (specially displayed) flower arms, three jewel studs on her ears, and flaming red lips, she will look more like a famous lady.

She looked at Liu Yan with interest, Liu Yan was also looking at her curiously, she was also blonde and blue-eyed, she was also a rich foreign second generation, this eldest lady and Lina's temperament was completely different, her eyebrows were a little down, making her eyes a little narrow, a little strong, and extremely aggressive. Liu Yan guessed that her temper might not be very good.

Bang introduced the two to each other, and the eldest lady was named Maria Miller.

He said to Maria, "Liu Yan is the Chinese character consultant in our studio, and this character is from her," Bang pointed to the calligraphy on the wall, which Maria had just looked at for a long time.

Liu Yan and Bang did not officially work together, and she accepted the new title of "Chinese Character Consultant".

Maria smiled, "I've been looking forward to the pattern she designed for me since last night, and I'm glad I made an appointment for you half a year in advance, so I can just in time for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "Here in Bang, no matter how bad the customer is, you can't cut the queue, you have to honestly queue up to make an appointment, you have a high status, there is always someone higher than you. Jason was able to cut the queue yesterday and was exempted, which is really a blessing for Liu Yan.

Bang and Maria greeted each other, Liu Yan couldn't interject, walked to the desk, started to study the ink again, prepared to write, and designed a tattoo pattern for the crooked nuts, if you don't write it, it is meaningless to just talk about the poems, and people can't understand them at all.

The two talked and talked, but there was no trace of Liu Yan, and when they turned their heads to look, they found that everyone had already started working, the girl was holding a brush, writing at the desk, her focused expression, and her demure posture made Maria and Bang involuntarily stop talking, for fear of disturbing her.

Maria wanted to know what she was writing, and walked over, Liu Yan heard the movement, raised her head and smiled at her, and said, "Wait a minute, I'm almost done." ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you write slowly," Maria's eyes stared at the black on the white background on the table without blinking. On the surface, she is expressionless, but in fact she is super surging inside - this pattern is what she wants!

Born in a wealthy family, when she grows up to this age, she rarely has the urge to get something, because her family's money can buy 99% of the world's things, luxury goods, jewelry, mansions, she is tired of buying, lack of interest, and having a boyfriend is also a truth, she hooks her fingers, and people come, which is not challenging.

Until yesterday I saw the tattoo photos on Jason ins, her eyes lit up, and her boring heart actually surged up with a long-lost heartbeat, she likes tattoos, since the age of sixteen, she will add a pattern to her body every year, originally she didn't think about tattooing Chinese, Jason made her change her mind, it just so happened that during this time, she was entangled by two ex-boyfriends, annoyed, she made such a request on a whim.

After Liu Yan finished writing, she stopped writing, took a step back to see the effect, and then explained to Maria, "This is the Chinese character pattern I designed for you, from the Chinese Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's poem, 'There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no grass at the end of the world'," Liu Yan read this sentence out in Chinese, and Maria and Bang both listened carefully to her explanation," It originally meant that the catkins on the willow branches were blown less and less by the wind, but it didn't matter, and soon there would be lush grass everywhere again, and in China, this phrase is usually used to persuade the persistent partner in the couple to let go, and I think it should meet your requirements. ”

Liu Yan felt that this sentence seemed elegant and subtle, but in fact, it was simple and rude to reject people thousands of miles away, that is, she didn't know if Crooked Guoren could understand the mystery of Chinese, and she had tried her best to explain and use up her English vocabulary.

Maria didn't speak for a long time, probably digesting Liu Yan's meaning, "That is to say, we women are all grass?

"Uh..."Liu Yan felt that Maria's understanding was fine, "It's just a metaphor." ”

"It's good, I think it's good, grass is better than flowers, flowers bloom and then they fall, grass is tenacious, day after day, year after year," Maria's idea is actually quite philosophical, "Thank you for the pattern you designed for me, I like it very much." ”

Liu Yan originally thought that Maria was very picky, and she kept going up and down in her heart, but she didn't expect her to be so tolerant and her first design job was completed so easily?

Bang said, "I learned another lesson today, and with a few more visits, I can also become proficient in Chinese." ”

The atmosphere was lively, and all three laughed.

"How do I calculate the price?" Maria asked Liu, "Do I need to pay you separately for the design?"

This is the most critical question.

Liu Yan glanced at Bang, she wanted to say that the fee would be settled by Bang, and there was no need to give her money directly, but she didn't expect Bang to snatch her head, "Yes, she charges separately, you can refer to this for pricing." ”

Bang sent Maria a few pictures on his mobile phone, and after returning home from dinner last night, he was not idle, he found the price of Liu Yan's calligraphy works at the Chinese auction, "If you settle according to the number of Chinese characters, a word is about 4,000 US dollars, and she wrote you 14 words, which is 56,000 US dollars." ”

Liu Yan was stunned, why did Bang help her set the charging standard silently?

A word is 4,000 US dollars, almost 30,000 yuan, she thinks it is too high, and she is suspected of cheating.

But Maria said, "Oh my God, it's so cheap, I don't like the change, I'll pay you $60,000." ”

Liu Yan: "......"

Wipe the change, or is there this wiping method?

Maria was serious, she had already taken out her card and was ready to swipe it.

Liu Yan hurriedly said, "You are the first customer I received, I should thank you for liking my words, I will give you a discount, you can pay me 30,000 yuan." ”
