Chapter 440: The Shura Field Approaching
This jet is not Uncle Sakai's thing.
Mrs. Sakai is not a person who likes to flaunt her wealth.
Gu Weijing was impressed, and the travel provided by the coveted Scholastic Group for reimbursement of air tickets was just a part of ordinary life for Uncle Sakai.
He went to the art exhibition, or there was a first-class cabin provided by the organizers.
If you're in a hurry.
DTW will also lease an off-the-shelf aircraft with a business airline.
This kind of business is now very mature, and 15~200,000 US dollars can be used for a long-distance private flight across the ocean.
Artist with a business jet.
The symbolism is greater than the actual meaning.
It's more about proving your success in the eyes of the media and adding a layer of aura to yourself than for travel purposes.
Then again.
Symbolism is also very important to artists, and if you can make collectors in society think that you are successful, then you can't be unsuccessful.
The halo on the artist's head is the most solid support for the value of their works.
So when it comes to a certain professional status, many actors, singers, and great painters will choose to buy themselves a first-hand or second-hand private jet, and even those like Kanye and the Kardashian sisters who are not bad for money directly spend hundreds of millions to buy a super large aircraft like Boeing 747-8 as a travel tool.
It's part of how they build their self-image.
It's not just hedonic consumption.
At the very least, with an airplane, you have the freedom to go wherever you want to collect wind without waiting for a flight.
It only takes a few hours to fly from Kansai to Yangon International Airport.
It's not far away.
In a remote place like Yangon, the number of fixed routes is very small, and the intervals are very long, and the next direct flight is next weekend.
Or the old vintage aircraft of Myanmar Airlines in the last century.
Katsuko insisted on going back this week, and her original plan was to fly from Osaka to Bangkok, wait seven hours in Bangkok, and then fly to Yangon.
Uncle Sakai feels sorry for his daughter.
After getting his daughter's bear cream cookies as a bribe, he happily went to an industrialist friend to borrow a Honda jet.
It may also be a simple hope that he can get rid of his wife's clutches as soon as possible and wander around to find his beloved roast bird shop.
The blonde aunt is not very satisfied with her daughter's stubbornness.
Girls must have means!
How can someone hook their fingers and you run back? It's too uninspiring. If you want to see you, you have to ask him to beg you a few more times, and it's better to let him run over by himself.
Katsuko's soft nature is more like her father than like her.
Mrs. Sakai thinks that at Katsuko's age, she can already "snap" the boys who want to chase her around her with a small leather whip as a spinning top.
It's still a lack of education!
She feels that she has a long way to go as a mother.
"Ahem, Katsukoβ"
The blonde aunt is about to clear her throat and start a long story to instill in her daughter the old spicy trick of hooking up with boys and stepping on vixens.
Dingding.
In the seat next to the private jet, there was a special prompt on Miss Sakai's mobile phone to receive a work email.
"Huh?"
Mrs. Sakai's heart moved, and she stalked her neck, swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and stretched her head out curiously.
"Let's see, isn't it ......"
"Yes, it's an email from the editor of Asian Art."
Miss Katsuko knew what her mother cared about.
Nodding.
She quickly clicked on the notification in the message bar, pulled down the email, and saw the final conclusion, "Asian Art has decided to accept our minor revisions, and the follow-up only needs to proof, copyright transfer, and payment of publication fees, and then you can ......"
"Congratulations! That's great! You can tell Xiao Gu this news in person tonight. β
This is a career milestone!
An essay on Asian Art is the foundation of a bright path to art scholars who are still high school students.
Mrs. Sakai suddenly forgot what she was about to say.
Extremely excited, he took his daughter into his arms and kissed Katsuko's cheek hard.

Dulwich College, Information Classroom.
"Why is there obvious pixels in my electronic graphic design works when I zoom in on my computer? It's ugly, Miss Sandenu, why don't you have any work? β
These two weeks were due to Professor Cruz's absence.
Advanced classes have been suspended.
The school has extended the opening of the information room, so that students can take advantage of this time to complete the layout and retouching of the non-painting part of the portfolio.
As the sun began to set in the afternoon, some students from the regular class also came to the classroom.
The surroundings gradually became noisy.
"You're using Photoshop, aren't you?"
"Didn't we learn last year's course on portfolio production, Ps is limited by pixels, if you want to make your electronic version more exquisite, graphics processing content can be used PS, if it involves electronic drawing or printing typesetting, try to use llustrator or InDesign to do, the former underlying logic is the picture, the latter underlying logic is a mathematical formula, so there is no minimum pixel constraint."
Mona adjusts her resume template on professional software.
He replied casually.
She was very disdainful of the arrogant habits of Miss Jiao, who was dissatisfied with everything she learned and half a bottle.
She has a clear plan for her future.
Like an absorbent sponge, he absorbs all the skills that can help him live a decent life.
As long as she attends classes, she tries to do the best she can.
The basic course of painting, this is not Mona without work.
Sometimes, your talent is like this, and you don't have the aura to draw it.
In vain?
Effort determines the lower limit, and talent determines the upper limit.
The curriculum of art high school is far from the level where students can fight for talent.
Mrs. Sakai doesn't look down on Mona, just because Mrs. Sakai is too discerning.
Mona has indeed been unable to compare with Gu Weijing and Miao Anwen, so the kind of students on campus who are talented and willing to work hard, and take scholarships to attend classes have a solid level of painting and brilliant painting.
It's a fact.
But it is also true that Mona is still the best student in the whole grade.
Her grades in her drawing classes were all A's or A-s.
Only the top 10% of the class can get this grade.
During this period, it was not only the help of Gu Weijing, but also the result of Mona's own efforts.
To get 100 points, you need talent.
And the test score of 85 points, whether it is an art class or a culture class. For most people, all it takes is hard work and seriousness.
It's just that few people are as serious as Mona.
Kou Ko is a typical negative teaching material in her heart.
Although Mona doesn't want to admit it, she vaguely knows in her heart that the Coco family is very "smart", don't look at the three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, busy singing and dancing, and indulging in youth.
But people have the capital to do so.
Coco often catches fish for three days to be able to catch a decent one, and many Dulwich teachers have praised this naughty little girl for being quite aura.
Mona doesn't envy her.
A score of 50 points for drawing talent plus 10 points of effort is only a passing grade.
A 5 point of drawing talent plus 80 points of hard work results are also excellent.
What about the aura of Coco's paintings? The painting grades are still not as good as hers. And courses such as information technology and grammar classes were tread on by Mona.
That is, at the time of the sports test, Mona really ran out of breath and couldn't compare to Coco.
But.
"A crazy girl with long legs and long hands, her motor nerves are so good, and she will be a good hand when she moves bricks to the port of Yangon in the future."
Whenever this happened, Miss Sandenu forgave her graciously when she thought of it.
Mona believes that even though it is a tortoise-hare race.
She is also the one who can run higher than Coco in the long-distance marathon of her career.
Even in the information class, which many people use their mobile phones in private, play games, and the teacher doesn't care much about the course, she has always listened to it seriously.
Dulwich's hardware is in good condition.
There is also a full set of software for Adobe Family Bucket, Da Vinci, ID, CDR, etc.
These software are super expensive.
The full set can cost two or three thousand dollars, and many of them are still black-hearted to pay annually and buy a membership once a year.
She meticulously learned how to use the software.
The requirements for electronic portfolios submitted in high schools are not as strict.
Maybe the admissions teacher may not be able to read it carefully, and many students even do it directly with PPT.
However, at times like this, you do better than everyone else, and that's a plus.
It is a plus to be able to indicate in your resume that you will be proficient in using these cartography and typesetting software.
Maybe because of this, you can get offers from several more schools.
Mona's advice to Gu Weijing is that they should study animation design and graphic design as much as possible in college, and their future development route will be to rely on rich Internet IT companies.
These software are even more necessary to master.
Of course, the future that Miss Mona hopes for is that she can be a woman drinking apple tea and eating macarons in her yard in Paris every day, watching her children run barefoot on the lawn, and chatting with the lady next door about whether she has grabbed a ticket to the French Open.
But to be Mrs. Kuo, you must also have Mrs. Kuo's self-cultivation.
You can drink fruit tea and eat macarons every day, but you can't just drink fruit tea and eat macarons.
Mona has always been a very rational person when it comes to feelings.
She demands Gu Weijing with reason, and she demands herself with the same reason.
Beautiful women who can drink fruit tea and eat macarons are everywhere in the streets of Paris, if not a thousand, but eight hundred.
Miss Sandnu thinks that if her only role is to provide a sexual partner for bed recreation, then why should your designer senior white-collar husband look at you as a treasure? What is the difference between you and those business escorts?
Very mean.
But being able to treat yourself harshly is the real strong person in life.
No beautiful woman can be young forever.
Only the equivalent exchange can make the relationship last for a long time.
Miss Mona demands that her significant other must give her enough value in life. She also demands that she must provide enough emotional value to her partner.
It's important to have a sense of companionship.
The core and threshold of companionship is that both couples at least have a common language.
Can you not rush when he is busy with work, but just be a quiet companion?
Can you help him do some simple mechanical typesetting, reviewing, and proofreading while he is red-eyed and working overtime to draw?
Can you not open a pair of big blank eyes when the other party complains about the difficulty of work, where is the big dazed eyes. Give the other person some advice, at the very least, so that the other person understands that you can understand what he is saying, acting as a good listener and cathartic tree hole?
Mona hopes that she will be able to live comfortably without working for the rest of her life in the future, spend a good time every day, punch in on INS, give birth to two beautiful babies to play, and attract the praise that young girls worship and yearn for.
But she must have the skills to do the job and have her own unique value.
A common language is important.
This is the real confidence that she can leisurely watch the baby in the lawn of the single-family house, drink afternoon tea, and chat about tennis matches, without worrying about her husband's change of heart.
Mona expertly tapped twice on the keyboard.
Using a set of complex shortcuts of "Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E", she selected a set of illustrations that she was very satisfied with, and filled in the curved blank area drawn in the resume as the background.
She uses typesetting and illustration for these deterministic software, and the processing is organized and hand-wrenched.
"That's amazing, Mona. I'd also like to use a set of slanted text here as an interval for a resume transcript, I've been trying for fifteen minutes, somehow, it always obscures the layer underneath, can you help me see how to do it? β
There was a plea in my ears.
Mona saved the contents of the computer screen for a moment, and then turned her head.
If someone sees that she has done a good job and wants to lick her cheek and ask her to help make a portfolio directly, Miss Sandenu will unceremoniously let the other party go.
She worked so hard to make herself different in the eyes of the interviewer.
Why should others enjoy the fruits of their efforts?
But if it's a small request, such as just asking her about pixels, or a simple illustration that doesn't handle well, the sense of responsibility as the president of the student council.
Mona is still willing to help.
The voice was a little familiar to her ears, and a little unfamiliar.
It should only be that classmates who are closer to each other will call her Mona directly.
For a moment, she didn't match the name of the classmates in the class.
Miss Sandnu looked up strangely.
A chubby girl stood beside her.
Slightly round cheeks, light eyebrows, slightly pointed chin, facial features are human, but very seriously painted light makeup, light pink eyeshadow and blush, lipstick is a little thick.
The overall makeup is slightly glamorous, but it still reflects the girl's sense of youth.
Sniff carefully.
There's also a hint of premium champagne foam in the air...... Well, Chanel No. 5, the most classic fragrance choice.
Mona was stunned for a moment, and then she compared the figure in front of her with the impression in her mind.
"Huh? Are you Gu Lin? β
