When he returned home on Friday night, Ren Bufan completed all his homework.

On Saturday morning, both parents went to work in the factory and were home alone.

Take out the old mobile phone given by Manager Wang, look at the message that there is no movement, and dial the number.

"Hey, Xiaofan!" Wang Shiting's voice appeared in his ears, happy.

"Brother Wang, are you alive?" Ren Bufan asked directly.

"I'll definitely call you if there's a job!" Wang Shiting said, "Don't worry, our boss is very satisfied with your wall painting skills, as long as there is a new store opening, maybe the place that needs to be renovated, I will definitely find you as soon as possible." ”

"Oh......" Ren Bufan was slightly disappointed.

"Do you need money very much?" Wang Shiting asked curiously when he heard his emotions.

"Hmm~" Ren Bufan did not deny it.

"I want to think about it!" Hearing him say this, Wang Shiting thought for a moment, "We don't have any life here for the time being. If you have enough time, it is better to go to the Chengdong Development Zone, especially there are many newly opened companies on Jinyan Street, as long as you are bold and careful, you may be able to find a job. ”

Hearing this, Ren Bufan's depressed mood just now disappeared instantly, and his face showed a look of joy: "Chengdong Development Zone?"

"But I'm not sure there's a job over there, so you'll have to go around on your own. Wang Shiting said, "Anyway, when we have work here, we will definitely call you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Ren Bufan couldn't wait to hang up the phone and quickly get dressed and get out of bed.

Instead of rushing to the east of the city, I went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought the cheapest basketball-related books and converted them into basketball skills books.

He boasted to Shen Qingqing that he would defeat Li Jie in the intramural class basketball game next week, and then take this opportunity to make friends with him, of course, he had to be prepared.

Li Jie is a member of the school basketball team, and his basketball skills are certainly good.

But after all, he is only a high school student, and he is still a real basketball professional athlete.

It is estimated that it is the entry stage, which is definitely stronger than the average person.

He only needs to improve his basketball skills to a proficient level, and he can easily abuse him.

After learning new skills, I transferred to the Chengdong Development Zone and came to the vicinity of Jinyan Street.

As Wang Shiting said, the eastern part of the city is constantly being developed, and Jinyan Street, which has been developed, is already very prosperous.

Along the way, there are all kinds of high-rise buildings and commercial buildings.

Many of them are brand new buildings, and some places are not well decorated, so maybe there are some that need to be painted on the walls.

According to the income of the previous two wall paintings, it is inferred that the price of the wall paintings is about 300 square meters, and you can get 3,000 yuan for a job of 10 square meters.

It's just that no one invites me now, and it's a question of whether people need wall paintings, and there is no exact advertising board or recruitment information, so everything has to be asked by yourself.

As Wang Shiting said, you need to be bold and careful, and only in this way can you create opportunities for yourself.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, take a deep breath......

He tried his best to calm himself down and empty his thoughts.

As a person who is not good at communicating, the psychological pressure is particularly high.

I was delayed for half an hour just to set off, and I kept cheering myself up, then retreating, and then pumping myself up again.

Finally, I gritted my teeth and felt that I had to change myself, and I had to take the first step bravely.

Observe all the way along Jinyan Street, those small doors, there is no place to paint the wall of the building directly skip it, specifically look for a building with a wall or interior space suitable for wall painting.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large supermarket, and the walls on both sides of its entrance are empty, which is especially beautiful if you paint the walls.

It's just that supermarkets are full of people, which causes more psychological pressure on Ren Bufan.

Standing at the door of the supermarket for several minutes, I finally gritted my teeth and strode in.

Looking around, the cashiers who were busy checking out the bills for customers were definitely not available, and they couldn't find the presence of managers in the supermarket. So I entered it first, pretending to be shopping, but in fact, I carefully observed the dynamics of internal employees.

Finally, he found someone who looked like a manager, and hurried over to pluck up the courage to say hello: "Hello!"

"Is there something wrong?" the man turned and looked at him with a puzzled look.

"I would like to ask, are you the manager of this supermarket?" asked Ren Bufan as politely as possible.

"I'm the salesman, and that's our manager. The man pointed to a middle-aged woman crouching next to her, checking the goods.

"Thank you!" Ren Bufan hurriedly walked up to the manager, "Hello, are you the manager of this supermarket?"

The middle-aged woman stood up and nodded, "I am, is there anything you need help with?"

"That's right," Ren Bufan took a deep breath and said nervously, "I'm a wall painter, and when I pass by here, I find that the walls on both sides of the entrance of your supermarket are empty, but you can actually paint wall paintings to attract attention, which is both beautiful and can attract more customers." So I wanted to ask you guys if you have any ......."

"I'm sorry!" the middle-aged woman shook her head and refused before she could finish listening, "We have no plans in this regard, it is better to keep the walls clean." ”

"In fact, as long as the wall painting is eye-catching enough and the theme is fresh enough, it can definitely increase the flow of customers......"

"We don't have that in mind at the moment!"

"Oh, sorry! Excuse me......"

The first battle did not go well, and Ren Bufan left the supermarket, slightly discouraged.

But soon cheered himself up and continued to move on.

"Hello! I'm a wall painter......

"Sorry, no!"

"Hello, I see it's empty, it would be great if you could paint the wall......"

"Sorry! ”

"Hello, do you need to paint a wall painting?"

"How much is a flat?"

“300！”

"No, you don't!"

"It could be a little cheaper. ”

"No, you don't. ”

"Why don't you tell me the price?"

"Forget it......"

Hit a wall again and again, and be rejected again and again.

Ren Bufan couldn't remember how many places he asked, he only knew that time passed quickly, and it was already lunch time in a blink of an eye.

Dry mouth, empty stomach, especially under constant rejection, made him feel very bad and even have no confidence.

Several times I had the idea of giving up and simply left.

But in the end, I held back, or at least insisted on it.

Take out a few buns that you bought in advance when you set off, eat them into your stomach first, and then sit in a shady place on the corner of the street, watching the cars around you come and go, not knowing what to think.

After resting for a while, trying to calm his low mood, he got up again: "Find another two hours, and if you still find nothing by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, go home!"

After deciding, I looked for targets along Jinyan Street again and asked them one by one.

After that, he was rejected more than a dozen times, crushing his confidence to the point of exploding.

Until I arrived at a large entertainment club called "March Stars", I went to ask with the fear that I might be rejected again.

"Wait a minute!" the greeting outside the door turned to enter, and it didn't take long for a young man in his thirties to walk out, with a slender head and a purple suit, looking particularly energetic.

"Are you painting on the wall?" the young man looked at Ren Bufan, a little incredulous, "Which studio? How many people are there, how efficient is it, and what is the charging standard?"

There is hope!

The other party asked so carefully, which showed that it was really needed.

Ren Bufan immediately came to his senses: "Hello! I don't have a studio, just one person! But the quality of wall painting is not inferior to any studio, and the speed is faster than them." As for the charging standard is 300 a square, of course ......"

He wanted to say that of course you can bargain, and everyone will discuss it.

However, the young man directly interrupted him: "We have a large area here that needs to be painted on the wall, and the amount of work is very large......

"In terms of wall painting efficiency, I dare to guarantee that it will not lose to any large studio!" Ren Bufan said busily, "Can you show me the specific situation?"

"Yes, you can, but you have to prove that you have it. The young man said, "As long as I think it's okay, then it's easy to say." ”

"So how do I prove it?"

"That's it!" the young man glanced at the painting tools he was carrying behind him, "Draw a picture on the spot, let me confirm your painting skills and proficiency." No problem, right?"

"Yes!" This is not too much to ask, Ren Bufan immediately put the easel on the side, put the drawing board and paper, and then took a closer look at the façade of this entertainment club. Under the gaze of the young man, the brush in his hand slid quickly, showing the exact same façade scenery on the drawing paper at an astonishing speed.

The young man still looked at him in disbelief at first, after all, Ren Bufan's face was a little childish, he belonged to the more baby-faced type, and he was not very old.

But as the brush flies, the paper gradually shows the façade that is no different from the entertainment club at home, and the suspicion gradually turns into surprise, and finally admiration.

By the time the painting was finished, it would take only eight or nine minutes, and the speed was even more astonishing.

"Awesome!" the young man couldn't help but clap his hands, "It's amazing!"

"Thank you!" Ren Bufan put away his painting tools, "This painting is free for you." ”

"Thank you!" the young man was not polite, and picked up the drawing paper with satisfaction.

"That...... About the wall paintings......"

"Oh!" the young man reacted, "you come in with me first, and then talk about anything else." ”

"Good!"

Follow the youth into the entertainment club, which is resplendent and very high-end.

It was the first time for Ren Bufan to come to this kind of place, and he was extremely nervous.

Fortunately, this entertainment club is newly opened, and there are not so many customers. Moreover, the youth took him to the second floor, which was supposed to be an unopened area, empty except for a few staff members.

Entering the largest room on the second floor is almost like a large auditorium.

Innermost is a large stage with all kinds of music, eye-catching lanterns hanging in the sky, and a DJ booth.

"Look, here, here, and here, how long does it take to paint so many walls?"

"Can I measure the square first, and then look at the wall painting draft?" Ren Bufan's heart was beating wildly, because the area was too big this time, how much money could he make if he really wanted to win it?
