Chapter 11: The Mustachioed Old Handsome Guy

Qingliu listened to her words, and the corners of her mouth pulled in embarrassment.

What you give us, your money is also given by the prince, and if you want to calculate it, it is also given by our prince. However, this Miss Xiahou is still a good person, other young ladies can't go to the street to buy things for themselves, she will still think for them, thinking of this, Qingliu secretly added a point to Ling Ling in her impression.

"This young lady, our boss can't get away because of something, and I invite you to go upstairs to talk in detail."

Xiao Er went downstairs and said.

"Okay, Jinrong, Qingliu, you wait for me here for a while, I'll come when I go!"

After Ling Ling explained, he followed Xiao Er to the second floor.

The things on display on the second floor are different from those on the first floor, the first floor is a mask, and the second floor is sparsely placed with some strange things, some like weapons, some ...... Nothing like it. No wonder as soon as she entered the store, Xiao Er said that she only sold things on the first floor.

The door of a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor was ajar, Xiao Er led Ling Ling to the room, Xiao Er stood at the door and said respectfully to the inside,

"Sir, the guests are here."

"Yes, please."

There was a ping-pong sound from inside, and the voice of the man was probably a middle-aged man, low and magnetic.

Ling Ling walked into the room, the layout inside was very elegant and simple, with plush stalls on the ground and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting at a table and doing something...... The jade crown tied up his hair with a few strands of silver, and under the heroic sword eyebrows were a pair of deep and bright eyes, and between the high nose and carved lips, there were two conspicuous mustaches, which made his noble and handsome face reveal a hint of humor.

He didn't stop what he was doing, he looked up and gave Xiao Er a look to retire, and then looked at Ling Ling with a bit of inquiry.

"I wonder what kind of mask the girl wants to make?"

"A one-of-a-kind."

Ling Ling was also exploring this handsome old man with a mustache.

"Oh? The mask under the world, back and forth, there are only a few looks, I don't know if the girl has a different mask. ”

Ling Ling smiled faintly, "Naturally, there is, but you still need the boss's pen and ink." ”

"It's at the desk, girl, please do your own."

The handsome old man with a mustache smiled and plunged headlong into the matter at hand.

Ling Ling walked to the desk and looked at the handsome old man with a mustache who was doing something, and a hint of wit flashed in his eyes. She picked up the pen and drew it on rice paper in the most accustomed posture of holding the pen.

After a while, a half-face mask with a strange pattern appeared on rice paper. Ling Ling drew a mask with a special shape that she had seen when she participated in the masquerade ball before, and then painted the strange pattern in the mutton fat jade ring on it, she always felt that there were not many people in the world who had seen that pattern.

The facts also confirmed her thoughts, when Ling Ling put the painting in front of the mustachioed old handsome man's eyes, his hands that had not been able to stop stopped instantly, and his deep eyes looked at the mask on the painting motionlessly.

"Boss?"

Ling Ling interrupted his daze.

"This mask painted by the girl is really unique!" His eyes lit up as he looked at Ling Ling with a smile.

"I want the strongest and lightest material, silver, I wonder if the boss can make it here?"

"There is only what the girl can't think of, and there is nothing that Huo can't do."

His eyes flashed with admiration undisguisedly, Ling Ling took in his expression, she smiled,

"Then please Boss Huo."

The handsome old man with a mustache smiled and put Ling Ling's painting into his clothes, Ling Ling's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered something,

"Oh, yes! also asked Boss Huo to sign an agreement for the little girl. ”

He frowned and looked at Ling Ling,

"I wonder what the girl said about the agreement?"

"It's very simple, Boss Huo only needs to promise me that I will only make such a mask, and I will not be allowed to mass-produce it privately and sell it."

The handsome old man with the mustache smiled, and the inquiry in his eyes turned to appreciation, "Of course, but Huo also happened to want to talk to the girl." ”

Ling Ling raised his eyebrows, "Please speak." ”

"Huo doesn't take any of the money for this mask made for the girl," the corners of his mouth raised under his mustache, "as long as the girl can draw a few more styles for Huo." ”

Ling Ling was overjoyed in his heart, he was waiting for you!

"It's okay for Boss Huo to ask me to give you the style of the mask, but I need to share dividends."

He raised an eyebrow, "Oh? ”

"I promise to provide Boss Huo with different mask styles for a long time, Boss Huo only needs to sell ten masks and give me one money as my dividend, such a request is not too much, right?"

Ling Ling looked at him brightly, after all, it was the first time to talk, she couldn't open her mouth widely, and she couldn't let the people she cooperated with feel that she was too greedy!

A hint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the handsome old man with a mustache, "How can the girl be sure that the mask you painted will sell well?" ”

Ling Ling smiled,

"I believe that Boss Huo also has some thoughts in his heart when he saw the drawing just now, today I saw on the street that in addition to this mask shop, there are also some mask stalls, which shows that masks are relatively popular commodities in the night city, I heard that there will be a temple fair in the night city once a month, and the men, women and children at the temple fair will go out with masks to play, and now the mask style is single and boring, if Boss Huo's store launches a batch of masks with particularly good-looking styles at this time, the people of this night city can not compete to come forward to buy?"

He listened to Ling Ling's words, and looked at her with a look of appreciation in his eyes, just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but she had such courage and insight......

Seeing that Boss Huo was thinking, Ling Ling immediately came up with an idea in order to stabilize his heart,

"In this way, I'll draw a few styles for Boss Huo first, Boss Huo can try to sell it in small quantities, if it sells well, give me dividends, if it doesn't sell well, small production won't make you lose money!"

With that, Ling Ling walked to the desk again and picked up a pen to paint.

After a while, several masks of different styles were presented in front of Boss Huo, he picked up those patterns and looked at them, his eyes were full of appreciation, such a novel style, not to mention the people of Night City, even he who had traveled all over the Mingyan Continent, he had never seen it, the creativity was unique, and it attracted attention, he seemed to be able to imagine the scene where the people of Night City rushed to buy these masks after they were made.

"According to the girl's words, sell ten and give you one dividend. Huo did what he said and never broke his word. ”

He looked at Ling Ling with flickering eyes.

"Since it is cooperation, it is inevitable to go through the procedure, and it is better for us to sign an agreement."

Boss Huo laughed, "Okay, just according to what the girl said." ”

He immediately took up a pen and wrote down two agreements, and after both parties signed and stamped their handprints, they each accepted one of them. Ling Ling used her own name, she knew very well that Xiahou Ling's identity would bring her some unnecessary trouble outside, and she didn't want to use Xiahou Ling's identity to mix outside.

"In Xia Huo Yun, it is an honor to meet Miss Ling today, and I hope that the girl will cooperate with Huo for a long time!"

"As long as it's nice to work together, that's natural. I will come once a month to send patterns to Boss Huo, and if I can't come if I have something, I will also order someone to send it to you. As for my dividends, please ask Boss Huo to carefully make an account book for Ling Ling, I will store it here with Boss Huo first, and when I need it, I will come to collect it in person. ”

"No problem!"

"Since it has been negotiated, then I won't bother Boss Huo much, I will order my maid to pick up this mask I ordered after a while, she is downstairs, Boss Huo can recognize a familiar one in the corridor for a while, today's cooperation, I only hope God knows, you know and I know."

Ling Ling saluted, turned around and walked out of the room.

Huo Yun held Ling Ling's drawings in his hand, his deep eyes flashed with appreciation, he couldn't help but smile, this Ling Ling was smart, bold in knowing people, and quite a businessman, if there was a chance......

Huo Yun thought, the smile on his face was even stronger, he moved out of the door, stood on the edge of the corridor, and looked at the three people downstairs.
