173. Decision (two more, weekend plus more, ask for genuine support)
Liu Sheng also knew about Jin Zhu's problem, so when he saw that Jin Zhu would only bow his head and drink tea after he spoke, he patiently persuaded her.
"Tell me about it, maybe I can give you a little advice, anyway, there will be nothing to negotiate around you, don't worry, I never talk much."
"I, I don't know if I should go to Hangzhou or not, but I know he wants me to go. But the problem is, I'm only sixteen, and I don't know if we can afford each other's futures. β
As soon as Jin Zhu's words were finished, Liu Sheng spit out the tea in his mouth with a "poof", fortunately, he also knew that he had turned his head and did not pollute Jin Zhu.
"I said Yang Jinzhu, it turns out that you are just worried about this little thing? I thought the sky was falling. Yes, you are only sixteen years old, but let me ask you, can you accept other boys in this life besides Li Xiang? β
Jin Zhu shook his head, "I don't know. β
Liu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grinned, "Then what do you mean, you may break up with Li Xiang?" β
"Generally, no."
Even if she could, Jin Zhu's heart was afraid that she had been in the sea, she was not a person who made up her mind easily, because she knew that if she took this step, it should be a lifetime, otherwise she would not be entangled.
"Isn't this the end of it?" Liu Sheng rolled his eyes.
"But, but we are like this, after all, it is not right. I can't make up my mind, forget it, I don't understand you. Jin Zhu almost said that he had a private life.
She is an ancient person, what is the matter with running to the man's house like this?
Liu Sheng listened to this. He leaned his head over and looked left and right at the gold bead.
"What?"
"I want to knock your head open to see what the hell is constructed? I don't know what you mean by "unjustifiable"? Do you want to tell me that you want to get married with him now? β
"What words? I knew it didn't make sense for you. β
"What's not that makes sense? If you're worried, you'll go, and if you're not worried, don't. It's as simple as that, OK? β
After Liu Sheng finished speaking, the servant came, and he personally filled a bowl of soup for Jin Zhu and put it in front of her.
The two were eating, and saw Yang Shuyu walking in with a few people, among whom there were two girls, Jin Zhu, who knew her and were in the same class as her. One is named Huang Zixuan and the other is Li Ying.
Yang Shuyu didn't notice Jin Zhu because Jin Zhu was facing away from them, but Huang Zixuan and Li Ying saw Liu Sheng. They were all junior high school classmates, and seeing that Liu Sheng, who was so cold on weekdays, actually brought a girl on a date, and smiled so gently at that girl, who wasn't curious to see who that girl was?
Thereupon. Huang Zixuan and Li Ying pulled Yang Shuyu's arm. He pouted, and then several people walked towards Liu Sheng with a smile.
"Jin Zhu, how could it be you? You, you, you actually pedal two boats? Yang Shuyu pointed to Jin Zhu and was almost speechless.
She likes Li Xiang so much, but as soon as she heard that Li Xiang chose Jinzhu, in order not to cause trouble to Li Xiang, she had to endure the pain of cutting her love to fulfill these two people. Who knew that Jin Zhu didn't cherish it, and came here to date Liu Sheng?
Yang Shuyu was furious. She thinks about Li and is not worth it.
"Stop, Yang Shuyu, put away your ghost expression, I have a clear relationship with Jinzhu, we have something to say, so we found a restaurant to talk, you don't make a fuss." Liu Sheng didn't want to explain, but he was afraid of causing trouble to Jin Zhu, so he had to speak.
"You, do you know Li Xiang?" At this time, Yang Shuyu was confused, and at the same time, there were several people around Yang Shuyu who were confused.
Isn't this Yang Jinzhu a legend that people who will blush when they talk to boys? Why did Li think about Liu Sheng for a while, who is it with?
"Li Xiang and I are not only good buddies, but also partners."
Liu Sheng is telling the truth, as early as when Li Xiang put the money agency fee into the stock market account, he also put his own money into Li Xiang's account, this account is now managed by Liu Sheng, and the start-up capital of the two is 500,000 yuan, and the two of them are half each.
"Liar, what can Brother Xiang do with you? Playing games? Yang Shuyu snorted disdainfully.
Her positioning of Liu Sheng is a rich second generation who loves to play games, and her grades in the three years of junior high school are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she somehow got into the experimental class in the first year of high school.
"Do I need to report to you? Don't you know that disturbing others while eating is the most impolite and uncivilized behavior? Liu Sheng's face turned cold.
"You, you, you two are so sneaky and well-mannered? Jin Zhu, you are not worthy of Brother Xiang. After Yang Shuyu finished speaking, she left angrily.
Huang Zixuan and Li Ying looked back at them excitedly, and then chased Yang Shuyu away.
"I remembered that this restaurant belonged to hers." Jin Zhu said in hindsight.
"I didn't say it earlier, it's so unlucky." Liu Sheng muttered.
"I just remembered it, but it's nothing, it's just a meal."
After all, but Jin Zhu knew that with Yang Shuyu's temper and the excitement on the faces of those few people who were watching the excitement just now, this matter would definitely be publicized, and there would be people who would point fingers at it.
"If you can think like that, I'm just afraid you won't be able to think about it. Okay, eat, I'll send you back to school after eating, and tell me when you leave, and I'll find a car to send you. β
Jin Zhu smiled, didn't nod or shake his head.
Coming out of the hotel, as soon as she entered the house, Jin Zhu heard her mobile phone ringing, she went out in a hurry, and she didn't bring her mobile phone.
The call was from Yang Qin, and as soon as Jin Zhu was connected, Yang Qin split his head and asked, "Jin Zhu, what are you doing with Liu Sheng?" Why don't you answer my call, you two are really okay? β
Jin Zhu sighed when he heard this, and said that it was false not to be sad, "Yang Qin, how many years have we been together, and you don't know what kind of person I am?" β
How can such friends continue?
"Don't, don't, Jin Zhu, I, I don't believe it, but what Shuyu said is so nose and eyes, I. I was curious, so I just called and asked, but I kept calling you and didn't answer, I. I, I just thought about it more. Yang Qin regretted her impulsiveness a little.
Before the summer vacation, she had a little dislike for Liu Sheng and Jin Zhu, and Jin Zhu was angry with her, and then she provoked Jin Zhu again, and she was suddenly a little scared, afraid of losing Jin Zhu's friend.
But she is really anxious, who told Jin Zhu to live or die and just not answer the phone?
And also. Jin Zhuming knew that Liu Sheng was interested in her, why did she go out to eat with Liu Sheng alone? Didn't she know that Liu Sheng would be more and more unable to let go of her if she did this?
But even so, Yang Qin definitely didn't want to turn his face with Jin Zhu. Why is she not angry yet, but Jin Zhu is angry?
The more Yang Qin thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she wanted to sue Jin Zhu, but Jin Zhu hung up the phone without waiting for her to speak.
Yang Qin knew that things were going on and hesitated. I had to send a text message to Jin Zhu to apologize. Because she knew that Jin Zhu was not angry easily, she must have wronged her to be angry.
Jin Zhu read the text message for a full minute, and slowly typed a few lines.
"I didn't bring my phone when I went out just now, I have to design a work behind closed doors in the past two days, and I want Hangzhou in two days, please don't bother me."
After typing these lines, Jin Zhu checked that there were no typos and pressed the send button, and then turned off the mobile phone. Anxin sat down at the desk.
It took Jin Zhu one night to draw the first draft, and the hem of the skirt was a blooming peony. The nine tails of the phoenix are opened on the peony, and the chest is a crested head, and the body of the phoenix extends from the back swing to the chest, and the head of the phoenix passes through the auspicious clouds on the chest.
The next day, Jin Zhu called Li Yuyuan and contacted Thomson again, and the few of them still made an appointment at the teahouse, and Jin Zhu brought his first draft with him.
If the other party can take a fancy to it, Jinzhu will make some modifications, and if she can't like it, she plans to give up.
"It's obviously a phoenix and a peony, but I feel like something is wrong, as if this phoenix is not the same as what others have drawn, and it is really domineering. Well, if he doesn't like it, sell it to me. Li Yuyuan fell in love with this work.
"Okay."
The phoenix she painted is a phoenix after being reborn from the ashes, a phoenix of nirvana, a phoenix that is proud of the world, and is naturally domineering.
While the two were discussing how to embroider the phoenix, Thomson arrived with his translator.
Taking the painting in Jin Zhu's hand, he looked at it for five minutes without speaking.
At first glance, this painting feels very amazing, it can definitely catch the attention of others, and then look at it, the crested head on the chest is absolutely domineering, and the peony and phoenix tail at the skirt are swaying, absolutely gentle and noble.
βOKοΌverygoodγβ Thomson nodded.
Jin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed over the drawing of the handbag, which was a miniature version of the phoenix and peony, and Thomson nodded again.
"Happy cooperation, I'll pay you 5,000 dollars for these two designs, but in addition to the design drafts on the clothes, you have to give me another complete Chinese painting, Chinese painting, understand?" Thomson gestured to size.
He knows that Chinese calligraphy and painting, like porcelain and embroidery, are worth collecting, and the level of gold bead painting is definitely not low, and such a painting should also be worth collecting.
"How much, five thousand dollars?" Li Yuyuan was stunned.
Jin Zhu was also stunned, but she was not shocked by the other party's five thousand dollars, but by the other party's request.
This foreigner is not simple, it can be seen at a glance that her painting level is not low, Jin Zhu believes that if her fame is big enough, her calligraphy and painting can be sold at this price.
"What a cunning fox." Jin Zhu muttered, thought for a moment, and said, "No, these two designs cost 7,000 US dollars, plus the paintings, 10,000 US dollars." β
She inquired on the Internet, the price of this Thomson dress basically starts at 100,000 US dollars, if there is no embroidery drawing of gold beads, this dress must not be perfect, plus the drawing of the purse she painted, these two design drafts should be worth 7,000 US dollars.
As for Jin Zhu's paintings, she believes that in time, she will definitely not be an unknown junior, so her paintings must have room for appreciation, and she is not high for $3,000 now.
"You're crazy, you're robbing money." The translator glared at Jin Zhu with disdain.
"Excuse me, in what capacity are you talking to me like this?" Jin Zhu didn't expect the main owner to speak, but the little ghost next to him couldn't bear it.
"I, I'm ......" The translator was stopped by Jin Zhu, and his face turned red instantly.
"I said Jin Zhu, although your sketch is good, but we can't ask for a price, the water will flow for a long time, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Li Yuyuan persuaded Jin Zhu in a low voice, and she was also frightened by Jin Zhu's words.
βwhatοΌ What are you talking about? Thomson on the side was in a hurry.
The translator lady then translated Jin Zhu's words to him.
Thomson was not angry, nor was he in a hurry to deny it, but picked up the sketch and looked at it carefully, tapping on the table with his right hand as he looked at it, and thought about it for three or four minutes.
"OK, deal, $10,000."
The translator's eyes widened when he heard this, and he muttered a lot of words, Jin Zhu didn't understand, but seeing that Thomson's face was getting worse and worse, it was probably not a good word.
"You talk slowly, and if you regret it, feel free to email me. I'll go back first and see you in three days. β
As soon as Jin Zhu left, Li Yuyuan also came out.
"Jin Zhu, you tell me the truth, why do you ask him for 10,000 dollars? Also, do you know the difference between a serious Chinese painting and a design sample like ours? "Li Yuyuan really didn't understand, does this Yang Jinzhu understand Chinese painting, does he understand the market of Chinese painting?
Even a serious student who graduated from the Eight Academies of Fine Arts may not be able to sell a painting for tens of thousands of dollars, but the newborn calf of Jinzhu dares to ask for 3,000 US dollars?
Don't look at that Thomson's promise is quite happy, but if Jin Zhu is not satisfied with the painting he took out, people can still pay the bill!
"Aunt Li, I understand, Li Xiang is self-taught to paint Chinese painting, the teacher said that his level is better than the average high school art teacher, he taught me how to move the pen, how to layout, how to adjust the color."
Jin Zhu was afraid that Li Yuyuan would ask her how she learned to paint, so she brought Li Xiang out, anyway, it is a fact that he taught himself to paint, and he has long been famous, and now there is one more Yang Jinzhu, which should not cause too much of a sensation.
Besides, Li Xiang did instruct her to draw.
In fact, if Li Xiang hadn't been in the mood to hold a pen because of Mapo's illness, this painting Jinzhu would have been completed with Li Xiang, so that she wouldn't have to worry about others suspecting her.
Li Yuyuan heard this, although she was suspicious in her heart, she didn't ask again, she knew that Jin Zhu and Li Xiang were good, and she mistakenly thought that Jin Zhu was looking for Li Xiang to ghostwrite.
Jin Zhu, who came out of the teahouse, first went to the stationery store to buy some rice paper, brushes and spices, and when he got home, he first booked the train ticket to Hangzhou on the Internet, and then began to calm down and draw.
Three days later, Jin Zhu stepped into the teahouse again with her work in her hand, Thomson was a man who kept his promise, carefully looked at what Jin Zhu had brought, and transferred 10,000 US dollars to her bank card with online banking in front of her.
That night, Jin Zhu took the bank card containing 10,000 US dollars and boarded the train to Hangzhou, but as soon as she got on the train, she received a call from Kang Xin, saying that they had arrived at the Qiandong City Airport. (To be continued......)
