The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 141 A Gift for Li Beixing

"20! 20!"

Chen Jingle pinched his eyebrows.

I thought I would have some free time, but I didn't expect to be busy again.

I never thought that the other party could be so outrageous. I just bought a painting and then placed an order for ten more.

That’s not how buybacks work.

Why are your paintings so popular?

“It shouldn’t be a scam, right?”

He muttered to himself and secretly became alert.

There is no way. There are so many Internet scams these days. It is possible that someone will lure him into the scam with huge profits and then carry out the fraud.

In short, you can never go wrong with caution.

But for Mr. Yuan, 20 is not a lot.

Although he has passed the peak of his career, his income is still considerable. If his wife is included, the two of them can easily make over 10 million yuan a year.

But most of the time, I work for half a year and rest for half a year.

When I’m resting, I either play or spend time with my children and wife.

He has everything he needs now. He usually tries all kinds of new things. The investment in any of his hobbies is more than 20 yuan.

Including calligraphy and painting.

You can buy ten high-quality calligraphy and paintings of the time for 20 yuan. It's a great deal!

He had bought some works by so-called famous artists before, many of which cost over 20 yuan each, but their quality was not necessarily better than Chen Jingle's.

They all go there for the fame.

On the other hand, although Chen Jingle is not very famous, his quality is so high that it is only a matter of time before he becomes famous.

Even if he is willing to help shout a few times, his fame will immediately soar.

Therefore, it is impossible to make a loss!
And as he said, if I give it to someone else as a gift, the quality is quite good.

……

"So what are your requirements this time?" Chen Jingle asked.

Mr. Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There are no restrictions this time. You can express yourself freely. Fine brushwork is best, but other styles are fine. But first, I want you to make it clear that you can't fool me!"

"It's impossible to fool the buyers." Chen Jingle vowed, "If that's the case, then I will really start painting!"

Mr. Yuan: "Let's get started. Finish the painting as soon as possible and send it to me as soon as possible."

Chen Jingle thought of something: "Would it be convenient for us to sign an electronic contract via WeChat? 20 is not a small amount of money for me. If something goes wrong on my end, you can get the 20 back through legal means."

"no problem."

Mr. Yuan agreed readily.

He should have signed the contract. He was careless.

The only problem is that the other party is too good at drawing and is very responsible from beginning to end. It really makes people feel at ease dealing with such people.

Chen Jingle selected the appropriate contract template on the WX electronic contract applet, filled in the contract information, and initiated the signing. Only after both parties confirmed that there were no problems with the contract terms did they choose to sign.

"Your name..."

Chen Jingle unexpectedly discovered that the name of the other party who signed the contract was not Yuan at all.

"The previous one was a pseudonym I used online. My wife's surname is Yuan, so this is my real name."

"Okay~"

This was normal, and Chen Jingle didn't think too much about it because he also used other code names online.

Anyway, as long as the other party confirms that the contract information is correct, and there is an ID number, mobile phone number and handwritten signature, it will be legally effective.

If the other party uses false information to sign the contract, then they are suspected of having fraudulent motives.

He has studied law.

……

As soon as the contract was signed, Chen Jingle chose to receive the payment, and 20 yuan was directly deposited into his account.

Let’s do it! Let’s do it!
Chen Jingle is ready to go.

This was the largest sum of money he had ever received from selling calligraphy and paintings.

I have already imagined the scene of using the money to buy a car after the transaction goes smoothly.

"We ordinary people are really happy today."

Chen Jingle hummed a little tune and entered into work-intensive mode!
Since the buyer said that other styles besides meticulous painting are also acceptable, I'll just paint some freehand style.

Freehand painting is much faster than detailed painting.

When inspiration strikes, he can finish a painting in an hour, as he has demonstrated in his previous painting of "Wind and Rain". And from a visual perspective, it is no worse than fine brushwork.

However, buyers prefer flowers and birds, so let’s try some freehand flowers and birds or boneless flowers and birds.

Add one or two landscape paintings to make a total of ten.

"If it's quick, it can be done within a week, if it's slow, it will take half a month. A conservative estimate is half a month. In the next half a month, in addition to normal classes and reading, you will be busy."

Chen Jingle tried hard to cheer himself up.

It's better to be busy.

While you can still make money now, save more and accumulate 150 million as soon as possible so that you can spend it until you die.

With an income of 20 at a time, it seems that 150 million is not difficult.

Chen Jingle felt that he was a little inflated.

……

Once Chen Jingle gets into working mode, his efficiency goes without saying.

Using the zigzag composition method, I finished a freehand painting of peach blossoms and magpies in just one hour.

Although the picture is slightly simpler than the previous detailed painting of lotus and kingfisher, the peach blossoms painted with freehand brushwork are bright and eye-catching, and the two magpies are vivid and interesting.

I just don’t know if the buyer will be satisfied.

"When the time comes, I'll take photos for him to look at before shipping, and pick out any that don't fit and repaint them."

Chen Jingle doesn't think there's something wrong with his paintings, but rather that buyers have different personal preferences. Some people only like flowers and birds, and no matter how good your landscape paintings are, they won't buy them.

This situation is normal, just cater to their preferences.

For lunch, I simply had some stir-fried pork tenderloin with ginger and eggplant with fish flavor.

After waking up in the afternoon, continue painting!

One painting costs 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of four or five freshly graduated college students. Why shouldn't I be diligent? I won't continue to paint at night. At least I can take a break and not use up all my inspiration.

Then I started thinking about inviting people to dinner tomorrow afternoon.

Chen Jingle has already thought about what gift to give Li Beixing to express his gratitude.

It must be what you are best at!
……

Ever since she received the message from Chen Jingle saying that he would treat her to dinner, Li Beixing has been looking forward to the evening of the 7th.

When the 7th really came, I felt a little nervous and even anxious.

Since the afternoon, I have been thinking about whether to get a haircut, which clothes to wear, which pair of shoes to change...

Just like Shining Nikki, after changing dozens of clothes in front of the mirror, she finally chose a satisfactory outfit and spent another hour putting on makeup before going downstairs.

Before leaving, she reminded him, "Auntie Wang, you don't need to prepare my portion tonight. I'm going out to eat with my friends. I've already sent a message to my mother."

Aunt Wang looked at Li Beixing, who was obviously dressed up carefully, and blinked: "Okay."

It seemed as if he smelled something unusual.

the other side,
Chen Jingle was busy all afternoon. After hurriedly packing up, he was ready to go out.

Said to Chen Qiyun: "Dinner is ready for you. I won't be home to eat with you today. Please remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating, and lock the door for me when you leave."

"I know~"

Although Chen Qiyun was very curious about what important matter he had, Chen Jingle just perfunctorily said that he was going out to eat with friends.

But when I thought about how sumptuous today’s dinner was and that I would be enjoying it all by myself, I immediately stopped caring about those minor details.

Chen Jingle arrived at Xingyue Tower, gave his mobile phone number, and after confirming the reservation, a waiter immediately led him to the second floor.

The second floor is basically private rooms.

Chen Jingle booked a small private room that can accommodate 4-6 people, which is more than enough for two people.

He put his things away and ordered two dishes first. There were still 6 minutes until 15 o'clock.

Based on Li Beixing's personality, he would probably arrive 10 minutes early.

So the waiting began.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Chen Jingle thought it was a waiter from Xingyue Tower, but unexpectedly it was Li Beixing who came in.

Sure enough, we arrived early.

But when he saw Li Beixing's outfit today, he was stunned for a moment.

Well, it seems a little different from before. From the hairstyle to the makeup and the clothes, it all exudes a sense of refinement and luxury.

When Li Beixing saw the surprised look on Chen Jingle's face, he knew that his careful dressing up this afternoon had not been in vain, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose slightly.

He chuckled and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Chen Jingle came back to his senses, stood up and greeted him with a smile: "This time, it's true. I just sat down for less than two minutes."

It seemed that after Li Beixing came in, the whole private room became brighter.

Both parties took their seats.

Chen Jingle took out the gift he had prepared in advance and handed it over: "By the way, this is a calligraphy I wrote today, for you."

Eh? You prepared a present for me?!

Li Beixing was surprised.

I took it and opened it, and was immediately surprised.

First of all, the size of this calligraphy is a full four feet.

Secondly, there is no need to say much about the quality of Chen Jingle's calligraphy. It feels like he has improved after just not seeing him for a few days.

The talent monster is really outrageous.

Then there is the content, which is her favorite "Caisangzi·Double Ninth Festival".

People grow old easily, but the sky never does. Double Ninth Festival comes every year. Today is Double Ninth Festival again, and the yellow flowers on the battlefield are especially fragrant.

The strong autumn wind comes once a year, not like spring. But it is better than spring, with frost covering the vast river and sky.

This gift touched her heart.

Li Beixing couldn't put it down.

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "I thought that Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, so I wrote this calligraphy. I hope you like it."

like!

I like it so much!
Li Beixing didn't know how to express his joy for a moment. After calming down, he said sincerely: "Thank you, I will keep it well!"

After it is framed, I will hang it in the study just like the previous calligraphy, and look at it every day.

"And then there is..." Chen Jingle turned around again.

Oh? Anything else?

Li Beixing was stunned.

But the next second, Chen Jingle took out a portable insulated lunch box.

He smiled sheepishly and said, "I originally thought about inviting you to my house for dinner, but I was afraid of being presumptuous, so I cooked some dishes at home and brought them over. I asked, and they allow bringing food to Xingyue Tower."

Li Beixing opened her eyes wide. This was indeed a situation she had never thought of.

She knew that Chen Jingle was a good cook, so he specially cooked at home and brought the food over?
This……

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he quickly said, "Not presumptuous, not presumptuous at all!"

If Li Beixing had known that Chen Jingle was going to invite him to his house, he would have agreed a thousand times and would not have come to Xingyue Tower.

"We are friends, right? If you want to treat me to a meal next time, just go to your house instead of wasting money at a restaurant outside."

She looked at Chen Jingle seriously.

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Chen Jingle nodded.

Li Beixing was immediately satisfied, his eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"It just so happens that I have a gift for you, too."

After saying that, she took out a red box covered with an unopened film from her handbag.

Chen Jingle was stunned when he saw the red box.
