What Qin Guanglin said is not an exaggeration at all, every day when he arrives at the company, all kinds of things are piled up on the table.

There are more than 40 people in the company, except for those small series that are not very important, and the rest of the major projects, big and small, have to pass through his hands.

The door to the office is never closed from morning to night, and if there is anything, you can enter by knocking on the door symbolically twice.

Now it is not the same as the scale of more than a dozen people at the beginning, and there is no such relaxed and happy atmosphere, although the welfare treatment has not been reduced much, but Chen Rui's sharing model allows everyone to work hard, no one wants to relax.

The relaxation when there were more than a dozen people was mainly because there were not so many things to do, and now things can't be done.

Tuk-tuk.

"Enter."

Qin Guanglin didn't raise his head, and only after finishing the little bit left in his hand did he put down the brush and looked at Yu Le, who was sitting opposite.

"Brother Lin, this series has ended, this is the last issue." Yu Le pushed the information in his hand over and showed it to Qin Guanglin.

"Oh, put it here."

"Hmmm......"

Yu Le put down the neatly stacked stacks, withdrew his hand and twisted twice on the chair, scratching his head but not leaving.

"Anything else?" Qin Guanglin asked.

"Yes, a little."

"Say, what's there to hesitate about."

Yu Le glanced at him, lowered his head again, clasped his fingers on the seam of his pants, and whispered, "That...... I think...... The next painting will be done by yourself, like Brother Zhao. ”

Now he is still half an assistant, helping the two painters in the company, feeling that he is almost ready, and wants to try to make a work on his own.

Relying on a storyboard is not a long-term solution, his dream is not only to be able to draw characters and draw them beautifully, but also to learn faster by himself.

"Huh?" Qin Guanglin tilted his head sideways and pondered: "Your painting is a bit small now, but it's not enough, the mess of storyboards and character designs is not as easy as you think...... Let's learn from them for a while. ”

Yu Le was a little anxious when he heard his words, and said, "I can practice with the gray mist!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, you can." Yu Le nodded.

"Although you are only assisting them in painting now, those are the company's main products, if you make them yourself......" Qin Guanglin knocked on the table and did not continue.

'Gray fog' is the company's low-end product, the kind used to fill the library, and it can be regarded as occupying the small white market, which is basically free to attract popularity, there is no profit, and the painter naturally can't share much money.

At present, although Yu Le is only an assistant, he assists in the company's main projects, although it cannot reach the point of the core, but the monthly profit is also considerable.

"It doesn't matter if you have money or not, I'm still in the learning stage." Yu Le recognized his status.

If it weren't for Chen Rui's intention to train him, he wouldn't have been able to participate in the project he had just reported to Qin Guanglin, but now he took the initiative to take charge of those third-rate works that rushed to popularity, just to make up for his shortcomings and try to be an independent painter.

Qin Guanglin didn't say much when he heard this, he just practiced if he liked, it just so happened that the company's low-end works were a little too few.

He pondered for a moment, took out a stack of thick documents from the side, looked through it a few times, and then took out a bound booklet from it, "That's it, do it well, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Lao Zhao more." ”

"Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Seeing Yu Lehuan happily walk out of the office, Qin Guanglin sat on the chair and rubbed his face.

It seems like...... At the beginning, I was like Yu Le, and it is not important to make more money now, the most important thing is to improve myself.

Since when did this change?

He tilted his head to the side and didn't think about it, glanced at the sketchpad next to him, picked up the pen and continued to trace the unfinished work.

……

Weekend.

Why don't you go out shopping with a female book friend you met at the book signing, and Qin Guanglin accompanied Qin's mother to wander around the old street.

"You say you only shop and don't buy, what's the point?"

"It's not like buying Chinese cabbage and moving everything home...... With your impetuous appearance, people have to kill you. ”

"I'm not going to do that." Qin Guanglin squatted down and touched the broken bowl on the stall next to him, and said to Qin's mother: "It doesn't matter which dynasty or generation it has used, it is still a bowl, the bowl is used for eating, you move back to have a fart." ”

The stall owner sat on the pony and squinted his eyes and said, "You can't say that, some people just like this." ”

"How much is your bowl?" Qin Guanglin asked casually.

"Take 20,000 yuan."

“…… Well, I think two hundred is enough. ”

"If you like it, you will pay, if you don't like it, don't grind here, and it will not sell you." The stall owner waved impatiently to chase away people.

"Is the two hundred for sale?"

"Are you funny...... If you really want it, take 800 yuan. ”

"Hey, eight hundred ......" Qin Guanglin pressed the crack on the bowl, "I see ......"

Squeak.

The edge of the large shabby bowl was pressed down by him.

Qin Guanglin was stunned, and the stall owner squinted and smiled, "Don't say anything, pay for it." ”

“……”

After some bargaining, Qin Guanglin spent five hundred yuan and threw the bowl to Qin's mother, making up his mind not to touch these things again.

"Everyone else is careful to handle it gently, you have to press and fart." Qin's mother was still chattering, "What if it's really 20,000?" Such an adult......"

"I didn't use any force, just touch it, this must be a routine - don't pull me next time, it's annoying when you see it." Qin Guanglin pursed his lips in disgust.

If it was really 20,000, he didn't dare to pick it up, and when he heard that 20,000 had become 800, he picked it up and took a look.

It's too special to trick people.

Fortunately, spending 500 yuan will definitely kill Qin's mother to pull him to go shopping in the old street, this wave is not a loss.

"You see if this is used by Cixi and them, if so, they can make up for it and sell it again."

"It's a fart, it's a broken bowl."

The two of them, who didn't have the heart to go shopping, walked back to the parking place, Qin Guanglin drove Qin's mother home, followed her into the living room, and sat on the sofa and looked at Qin's mother with dogs.

"Do you have a problem?" Mother Qin knew that there was nothing good about him when she looked at him.

"Sort of."

"Say, I'll hear what you want to do."

"That...... Mom, sit down. Qin Guanglin pulled Qin's mother to the sofa and sat down, and poured her a cup of tea with a cup, before rubbing his hands and saying, "That's it...... I think so...... When I borrow some money from you at the end of the year, how much do you have now? Give me a number first, I have a bit of a bottom in my heart. ”

Last year, he told Qin's mother that this year, why don't you call her mother, but there is still no shadow at all, and he pondered that he couldn't delay it.

We have to get married next year.

"What are you borrowing money for?"

"Buy a house, see how much down payment I can make at the end of the year, and then I'll think about where to look at the house."

Mother Qin took a sip of water from the cup, moistened her throat, looked at him and asked, "Tell me first, how much have you saved?" ”

……

"You look good when you dress up, there must be a lot of people chasing after you, why do you want to dress like this."

"I just don't want to be chased."

"Why?" Why don't you ask strangely, "If you don't want to, just refuse, you don't have to dress up as a tomboy, right?" You see it's all tanned. ”

Gu Xiaoqing walked down the street with his hands behind his back, his body swayed, and said with a smile: "I'm too lazy to refuse, it's good like this, I don't want to fall in love, I feel so troublesome...... Sister He, do you have a boyfriend? ”

"There it is."

"That's good, he must love you very much, right?" After Gu Xiaoqing finished speaking, he shook his head again, and asked himself: "You don't have to think about it to know, you must be very happy to write such a sweet book, otherwise where did you get the material, am I right?" ”

Why don't you smile, it's a tacit acquiescence.

"Why don't you talk about it?"

"Just look at how good others are, I'll forget it, at an age like me, I shouldn't waste time on stinky men."

Gu Xiaoqing raised his head and said: "Freedom, love is precious, freedom is more expensive, I don't want someone to tie me up, I can't get hurt if I talk about it, I have to get married and have children after I talk about it, it's terrible to think about." ”

"So you like to read my books?"

"Yes, while enjoying the happiness of being single, while experiencing sweet love from the book, it's like talking about it yourself, it's perfect."

"Being single is happy because you haven't met the right person yet." He shook his head, "When you meet the person who belongs to you, you will understand that it is really good to have someone by your side to share all the joy and happiness together." ”

"Share all the worries and pains together?" Gu Xiaoqing asked with a smile.

"No, all the troubles are digested by themselves, and only the happiness is shared."

"Is love like this? I think you're fooling me and trying to trick me into falling in love. ”

"It depends on the person."

"And what kind of person am I?" Gu Xiaoqing asked.

"You should be the kind of person who treats you well, and you will try your best to be good to him, so I said that if you meet the right person, you will be happy." Why don't you look at her slightly, "I'm right, right?" ”

"Uh...... It seems to be. Gu Xiaoqing nodded, and then smiled: "But I'm an unmarried, alas...... It's a pity that I'm ashamed of the moon, and the peerless beauty of the sinking fish and geese~ hahaha. ”

She cocked her orchid finger and wiped it on her cheek, then turned her back to return to her bouncing appearance, "What kind of other people are there, Sister He?" ”

"If you go too far, for example, if your boyfriend is good to you, you will only think that you are very good, and you have never thought of treating him well with the same attitude, which is just the other way around......"

The two talked and laughed together, walking on the streets of Los Angeles, the September sun was not so hot, and the clouds were floating in the sky, drifting everywhere with the wind.

Early autumn, slightly cool.
