045 Good Temptation: Li Xiao paints a flatbread for Hua Ma
As soon as Tao Rongshen and Lin Zhuo left, the noisy world finally quieted down.
Zhu Sheng and Li Xiao, almost at the same moment, bowed their heads and moved towards an angle closer to the table.
The girl who had just spoken and had a stammering look in her eyes began to shine brightly as she immersed herself in the small world of handicrafts.
Probably sensing the gaze around her, she stopped curtly and pinched her knuckles, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm too nervous, I can only rely on the work on my hand to calm myself down." ”
Maybe it was the tense atmosphere just now that scared her. Zhu Sheng was very apologetic, picked up one of them, and praised it sincerely, "It's us who say I'm sorry, the flowers you made are so beautiful!" ”
Hua Ying smiled, and the dull bangs also had a new meaning because of the smile. She was a scissorhands, like a personal victory. "I'll estimate that if you do it, you'll have to ...... Twenty, cans. ”
Hua Mao's last work, the Peking Opera Phoenix Crown, used 18 cans, which took 200 hours and 15 days. If you look at it this way, Miao Yi's time is longer than that of the phoenix crown.
The performance is imminent, and there is the heavy responsibility of a promotional film, Zhu Sheng and Li Xiao can't afford to wait that long.
The two looked at each other, and Li Xiao asked, "Can you speed up the working hours?" We do need it urgently, as we said before. ”
There was a frustration in the eyes of Hua Ma. If she can't make it on time, it means she probably won't be able to take over the business. And these two people are her first group of customers.
She cherished this opportunity.
"All I can say is, as soon as possible. This process is very complicated. I want to do it while I fumble and do it. The more anxious Hua Mu became, the more she stammered, and her two index fingers crossed into a cross, "Ten days, I will definitely be able to finish it." I can also, do not charge a deposit, after it is done, you will inspect and accept, and then pay if you are satisfied. ”
Zhu Sheng and Li Xiao did not answer.
Zhu Sheng didn't want to put pressure on her, so she slowly spoke her mind. Li Xiao is purely waiting for the price to sell.
"Eight...... The whole set down, eight hundred lines? Hua Ying thought they were too expensive, and waved his hand again and again, his eyes were shining, "I read it on the Internet, and the finished Miao clothes are at least 1,000, and I didn't overcharge." ”
Eight hundred, far less than the initial budget for two people.
For such a kind and promising person, Zhu Sheng is embarrassed to negotiate conditions with her. She was about to speak, but under the table, Li Xiao kicked her lightly and gave her a color. That means, "Look at me, do what is opportunistic."
"Ten days is still too long. Don't get me wrong, we're not trying to squeeze your time, we're trying to find a mutually acceptable solution. You usually do all the work alone, right? ”
Hua Mao hung her head and pecked at the rice as if she nodded. She had to draw, cut, polish, color, and stitch all by herself. Every process cannot be faked.
If she wants to shoot it, she can only use the selfie stick of her mobile phone, and the effect is extremely poor.
After she uploaded her work, no one cared about it for a long time. This made her doubt herself for a while and wanted to give up. At this time, Zhu Sheng and Li Xiao found her.
"If we give you a hand, do some basic, simple and repetitive operations, like cutting this flower. As for you, you are responsible for the most core and difficult technical research, will this improve your efficiency? Li Xiao further proposed a new solution.
Zhu Sheng looked at Li Xiao, she really thought that Li Xiao was going to bully this soft and cute girl just now. Still, he underestimated him.
Hua Ma blinked, and in an instant, complex emotions such as hesitation, forbearance, restraint, and heartache were presented together. If so, do they want to cut the cost, and can they still give her eight hundred?
"So, where do we meet every day?"
Since they said that they were going to give her a hand, they naturally had to work together.
Li Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling that the time had come to close the net. What he was waiting for was the phrase Hua Ma. "Why don't you go to our studio? Two floors with plenty of space and an exceptionally large yard. Sheng Sheng and I grow a lot of bamboo, and you will definitely like it. ”
"You don't have to worry about eating." Zhu Sheng thought of something more detailed, "When the time comes, we will provide working meals, will we fully cooperate with you?" ”
Hua Ying was embarrassed to pinch her earlobe, she liked Zhu Sheng, especially Zhu Sheng's voice, soft. "Then, what time is it convenient for you, I'll go to you."
Li Xiao coughed and straightened his back in the chair. "To tell you the truth, we came from Chishui and drove for nearly four hours. Our studio, naturally, is also in Chishui. ”
Hanamaki: "......"
After talking for a long time, it was still out of town. A four-hour drive, an eight-hour round trip a day, or work? She was stuck in an insoluble stalemate, scratching her head in frustration.
"Why don't you go to Chishui with us and travel by the way?" Zhu Sheng tilted his head, cautiously probing.
The coffee was gone, Li Xiao asked the waiter to take everything down, and put his ten fingers between his knees, "Miss Huaying, I still have a plan here, can you listen to it and see if you can accept it." You go to Chishui to do this, and we provide all the board and lodging. In addition, I will pay a deposit of 1,000 for you to buy suitable materials. After the finished product is tried on, we pay another 1,000 final payment. As a thank you to you, I," Li Xiao took the camera out of her bag.
"I'm a photographer, and I shoot all my videos, so I'm quite confident in my skills. I will follow your production process, and you can send it to station B or shake your hands and pat it to advertise for you. You earn both labor fees and traffic, and enjoy our nanny-level services, are you willing to accept it? ”
After hearing this, Hua Ying pinched his face hard. On her white face, there were two red marks, and she grinned painfully, how could there be such a good thing in the world, and she was caught up with her? She didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, so lucky.
She was just about to answer when her phone rang and the caller ID was her mother.
Hua Ying picked up the phone and stood up, the overwhelming cursing over there had already sounded, "Didn't I let you look at your brother?" He's gone, gone! If you can't find it, don't go home, just because I don't have your daughter...... Doodoo"
Before she could get far, her mother had already hung up.
She walked back in a chaotic manner, her body seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and her eyes were even more glazed.
Zhu Sheng can imagine that this family should be patriarchal. My brother is gone, and I don't even want my daughter. "Hua Mao, how old is your brother and what does he look like, or can we help find it?"
There were teardrops the size of beans, sliding down from the eyes. The flower was silently choked. "He's twenty years old."
She didn't say that her brother was working outside the home and ran back because he couldn't bear the hardships. Idle all day long, doing nothing. The mother felt sorry for her son, but put all the responsibility of educating her son on her.
She had just quit her job and wanted to devote herself to her craft, when her brother disrupted her rhythm.
"Let's call first." Zhu Sheng suggested. At such an age, a mobile phone must be carried with you.
That's right, Hua Ying opened the address book in a panic and dialed his brother's phone. But the younger brother didn't answer, and soon it was revealed that the other party was naked. "I knew he wouldn't answer my call."
The younger brother who does not obey the discipline is rebellious at the root, but he does not have the slightest ability to live independently. Eccentric parents have no way to teach their children. The most sensible daughter, sandwiched in the middle to bear everything.
This is the original family of Hanamaki.
Li Xiao immediately said: "Tell me the number, and I'll give it a try." ”
Sure enough, Brother Hua Ying took it and asked impatiently, "Who are you?" ”
Li Xiao snorted coldly, if the stupid brother was in front of him, he kicked it over, so that he could feel the power of the black belt. "I'm your sister's friend, she can't find you, and she's worried about you. Where are you? ”
The other party still scolded, "You said it's my sister and friend?" Which green onion are you? ”
Hua Ying suddenly snatched Li Xiao's mobile phone, and the originally cowardly person suddenly gave birth to a lot of strength. "I'm your sister, where the hell are you?"
The pitch of this sentence was also very high, and several customers in the café looked over here.
"You don't have to worry about me! I can do whatever I like, none of your business. The younger brother hung up impatiently.
Hua Ying was stunned, returned the phone to Li Xiao, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she put the cans back into the woven bag. "I'm sorry, I'm going to find him and give it to my parents."
This is her last obligation as a sister.
"I can't take your order, so you run away in vain." She picked up the woven bag and stubbornly left.
"Hanama, do you have to find your brother?" Zhu Sheng asked, "Li Xiao, let's drive her for a ride." ”
Hanamaki turned around, "Yes." "She's made up her mind that I'll leave him alone when she finds her. He is an adult and should be held accountable for his actions.
Seeing that the two girls were so resolute, Li Xiao gritted his teeth, "Wait, I think maybe I can position him." ”
Subsequently, Li Xiao dialed Ming Zhaoyang's phone and asked for remote positioning support.
"Li Gongzi, do you remember that this is the first favor? I can't write a small book. Ming Zhaoyang, who was interrupted from work, naturally didn't have a good face, and talked about personal debts first.
Li Xiao crossed Erlang's legs, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, "If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, you will not worry." It's better to do this, in three days, I will introduce you to a partner in the future and solve your old and difficult problems. ”
He has a candidate in mind, and Zhu Di is good. A noble girl, she looks smart.
Although Zhu Di likes the director of Xi Distillery, Li Xiao thinks that men are very accurate in looking at men, and Zhu Di is not Xi Jiu's dish.
"Don't you curse Lao Tzu, maybe the peach blossoms will bloom tomorrow, use your introduction?"
Although he said that, Ming Zhaoyang still asked Li Xiao to wait.
About half an hour, according to Li Xiao's call records, Ming Zhaoyang located the location of Hua Ying's younger brother, in an Internet café in Jinjiang District.
Li Xiao drove the car to the destination.
"Shengsheng, you wait for us in the car, and I'll go up with Hua Ying."
