When Lian Gu Weijing saw the news, his heart pounded twice.

"Oil Painting" magazine is no joke,

For some young painters whose market prices are still unstable, oil painting magazines have almost played a role equivalent to market endorsement.

Gu Weijing quickly turned on the computer, logged in to the official website of oil painting in English, and clicked on the [Buyer's Guide] section.

The page redirects to a login link.

The Buyer's Guide section of the Painting magazine is available on a paid subscription basis for 75 euros per person per month.

It's not cheap for a common paid membership, but it's not too expensive for a professional drawing information guide.

Information is money, and art is about the same as stocks.

Or to put it bluntly, some people speculate on art as stock futures.

These professional painters analyze the stock market and financial reports like those of the big accountants.

There are famous paintings that have a high market value but are only circulated among certain private collectors, and you want to buy detailed information from an underground headhunter, and a copy of a simple appraisal report is at least 10,000 euros.

In addition to the reports issued by regular magazines such as "Oil Painting", there is another kind of valuable news in the art circle, which is the news of underground auctions of various black market theft of famous paintings, which are also very valuable.

Gu Weijing is a member of their school who has purchased the educational version of "Oil Painting", but it needs to be on the campus network to use it.

Fortunately, after all, their family runs a gallery, and their grandfather also has members.

[Comprehensive evaluation: two-and-a-half-star - a potential painter full of uncertainty.] 】

……

On the afternoon of the day Gu Weijing found himself on the website of the oil painting magazine.

He received two messages on his phone from Fiverr customer service.

"Your complaint against malicious competition has been accepted, and we have withdrawn the negative review that your store received at 13:57 on February 2."

"Fiverr Part-time Studio [Cheap but not bad] has been asked to rectify the poster, pin the apology letter, downgrade the priority of the recommendation and other penalties, if you are not satisfied with the result, you can appeal again, we will respond to you within 4 hours."

This is naturally Anna's handiwork.

Many times, a person has a different status and different vision, which determines the different ways of handling things.

[ Cheap but not bad] This kind of studio is rushing to bite you, for painters like Gu Weijing or Professor Lei Louis, it is like dog shit stuck to your shoes, and it is difficult to deal with.

But for Anna, things are far less complicated.

She sent a complaint letter to Fiverr's customer service department in the name of podcaster Mr. Sloth after updating the Detective Cat's recommendation page on the Oil Painting Magazine's website.

She casually questioned what kind of art values the other party's website wanted to convey by allowing such promotional posters to appear.

So half an hour later, everything was properly resolved, and she didn't even need to use her connections in the art world.

Foreign websites are not afraid of official censorship, but they are very taboo about such professional folk commentary.

Moreover, according to the strict terms of the website rules and regulations, this kind of face-sticking behavior of the [Cheap but not bad] studio is not allowed.

It's just that the efficiency of customer service in dealing with problems is often slow.

The two sides pulled each other's skins, and the customer service reconciled with the mud, and a few weeks passed.

But with the Detective Cat on Oil Painting magazine, the meaning immediately changed.

What is a detective cat now?

Are you a web illustrator?

No, she is an art expert.

Fiverr has passed the days of cheap $5 part-time jobs in recent years.

The top management has always wanted to professionalize the nature of the website, focusing on creating the idea that you're not just looking for part-timers, but industry experts who can provide you with a completely new solution.

For example, the senior coders from Silicon Valley who earn millions of dollars a year on the website's promotional page are the biggest ones on Fiverr and are also part-time experts in the IT field.

And now Detective Cat is an expert in the field of art illustration.

Although there is no way to compare the operating income of the store with that of the code farmer, the three words of the artist, in terms of rarity, are much higher than that of a programmer.

Fiverr naturally felt that it was a treasure to have such an artist working part-time on its website, and after receiving Mr. Sloth's complaint, there was a dedicated VIP customer service to deal with the other party's complaint.

On the night after the only single review was cancelled, Gu Weijing's praise record finally reached twenty orders.

【Buyer O YANG gave you a good review! 】

[More than 20 orders (satisfied) received on Fiverr, and the positive rating is over 95% (satisfied). 】

[Congratulations, you have completed the second step of the career chain quest!] 】

He opened the panel.

The second step of the career chain quest on the panel has been prompted to be completed, indicating that there is a reward waiting for Gu Weijing to claim.

He clicked to claim it, and a new skill appeared on the board.
