Chapter 21 Delegation
Early in the morning, Xia Xiaomu started to clean up at Ningning's house to see if she could find a place to put the easel.
The living room is definitely not good. Not only is it filled with Ningning and their musical instruments, but occasionally when they play in the room, their voices are tender and the oil paint tools on the easel are shaken off.
Finally, the target locked in the small balcony. The balcony is only three meters long and two meters wide, not big, but it just happened to be a easel, which can be regarded as a small painting room.
It was just that there were miscellaneous items inside, and the boxes were still scattered, and there were more than a dozen potted plants that were depleted due to lack of watering. Not to mention putting on the easel, there was not even a place to lower your feet.
He went to discuss with Ningning and some people and asked if he could use it to draw the small balcony for him. Without saying a word, the three of them put down the musical score and instruments in their hands and came to clean up for him.
Groceries should be thrown away and what should be washed. In less than half an hour, a bright and tidy space will come out.
Xia Xiaomu said happily: "Thank you, I can finally buy the artboard."
A Fei glanced at him: "What are you grateful for? Have we said thank you for eating the breakfast you made every day?"
Fatty: "You are sure to draw here. The balcony is very cold in winter, so it's okay to draw for a while. If you sit here for a few hours, be careful that your hands will be frozen."
It was indeed very cold. Xia Xiaomu wore thick clothes when she packed up, and the window was airy, making her face and hands very dry.
However, he was already very satisfied with the places where he could draw. He was not qualified to be picky and choose, and he disliked that.
Ningning came over and held his arm: "Let's go, Xiao Mumu, change your clothes, let's buy a bed first, I feel distressed when I see you sleep on the sofa at night."
But before they could go out, Xia Xiaomu received an unknown call. It turned out to be Li Hai, and his tone was quite formal.
"Hello, Xia Xiaomu. Brother Han is our President Lu. I want to entrust you to paint a mural. I have already drafted the power of attorney. If you have time, can you come and sign it and then discuss the price and specific matters?"
Xia Xiaomu: "Really, really painted?"
Lu Jinghan said this yesterday, and he thought it was just a joke.
Students in the art department make a living by painting skills. In addition to setting up a painting stall to draw portraits and sketches for others, students with ways will also take various painting orders outside, such as going to shopping malls, running companies, studios, etc. to draw murals for others.
But Lu Jinghan suddenly came to him, and was a little surprised.
Li Hai explained on the phone: "Brother Han has long wanted to find someone to design this wall, but he hasn't worked on it because he is worried about others coming to the house. He just happened to think that you were drawing well and wanted to invite you. Do you have time? I'll pick you up now."
Xia Xiaomu didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he really couldn't refuse Lu Jinghan: "But I need to go out to buy things now, and I don't know what time it will be after I bought things."
Ning Ning was very close to him. After listening to their conversation, she quickly pulled Xia Xiaomu: "It doesn't matter, let's talk about the important matter first, and then talk about it after buying a bed."
Without waiting for Xia Xiaomu to answer, Li Hai said: "Okay, I'll pick you up in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Ningning stared at him seriously: "I think the male god really wants to fuck you. After saving you in the bar, he claimed that you were his person, sent you back and went shopping together, and wore the same bracelet. All of this should not be something Lu Jinghan would do unless he fell in love with you."
Xia Xiaomu: "It's not that. He just thinks I'm an ordinary junior, and didn't he tell you, because Grandpa Lu told him to take care of me, and his sister insisted on wearing the bracelet for us. In fact, Senior Lu just looked cold and scary. He was familiar with him, and he was very nice to people."
Ning Ning didn't give up: "Then I want to go to the male god's house with you. See what the male god is going to do to you."
Xia Xiaomu laughed: "Okay, let's go together later."
Li Hai quickly took them to Lu Jinghan's house.
Lu Jinghan opened the door for them himself. Today he wore a set of home clothes, gray-white sweatshirt and dark blue trousers. He stood tall and handsomely in front of the white villa and invited them into the house with a lazy look.
Ning Ning, who had been very calm all the way, was now seeing the male god, the ill maniac, and she kept pulling his arm excitedly, with stars in her eyes.
Xia Xiaomu seemed to hear his heart shouting: The male god is so handsome!
Li Hai made two cups of darjeelgtea for them, and the tea tray was also filled with a small silver pot filled with milkshakes and a box of sugar cubes.
Xia Xiaomu took it, made it into sweet milk tea by herself, and said, "Thank you."
He looked around and asked, "Isn't Jingyi at home?"
"I'm going to the cram school." Lu Jinghan answered him lightly and pushed him with another information: "This is a power of attorney. The price on it is the market price that Li Hai helped me check. It is just for reference. If you think it's less, let's discuss it."
Lu Jinghan was calm and serious, and the number 6,000 prompted in the power of attorney made Xia Xiaomu feel relieved.
He probably understood Lu Jinghan's intention. He was good at others and would help him when he was in trouble. Now he knew that his financial conditions were not enough, so he used the reason to paint murals to support himself in disguise. But if Lu Jinghan gave him tens of thousands of yuan, he would definitely refuse.
The value of painters and painters is also determined by their reputation. As for myself now, the price is quite high.
Xia Xiaomu shook her head: "It's a lot. I'm afraid that the effect I draw will not satisfy my senior. Otherwise, senior, tell me what style you want. I will draw a few copies on the drawings first, and senior will choose a satisfactory one."
Lu Jinghan nodded: "Yes. What tools and pigments are needed. Write them all for me, and I'll prepare here."
"That's great thank you. I really don't have any tools here. Can the senior tell me what style I want? When I draw pictures, I can have a lot of money."
"Be simpler, don't have more than three types of colors. Just like the life you painted."
Xia Xiaomu thought to herself: That would be much simpler.
He looked around at the overall style of Jinghan's family in the lower road. He really couldn't draw too many thick, complex and gorgeous murals. Instead, he used some lines to outline the shapes, which could add some vitality and color to the entire house.
When discussing, Lu Jinghan still looked calm and talked to him seriously about the style of the mural. When the construction started, the two parties signed the letter, and it was quite formal like Party A and Party B.
Afterwards, Xia Xiaomu sat on the living room table according to Lu Jinghan's request and began to draw drawings.
Lu Jinghan's phone rang. He glanced at the phone, his face changed slightly, he glanced at Xia Xiaomu who was painting, and quietly left the hall.
Seeing this, Li Hai followed him.
In the room, Lu Jinghan held the phone in his hand, with complicated eyes and perfunctory voice. He simply said a few words to the other party and hung up the phone.
Li Hai asked: "What happened?"
"Xie Weiwan called." Lu Jinghan's face showed a hint of sarcasm: "She said she was willing to consider the conditions I offered her."
Li Hai's eyes lit up: "Isn't this a good thing? You said you used to chase her so much and kept raising the price for her. She refused like a Buddha. Now you ignore her, she came to the door."
Lu Jinghan frowned and thoughtful, and said nothing.
Li Hai: "Then should I go to see her or do you go to see her in person? Anyway, as long as the agreement is signed, you can take her to see the old man. At that time, engagement will be a formality."
Lu Jinghan suddenly asked: "What is the content of the agreement?"
"It means that as long as she promises to date you and get engaged at the end of this year, she will pay her 100,000 yuan a month during the cooperation period, and then give her 5 shares of Fengxing Investment after the engagement."
Fengxing Investment is a self-created enterprise made by Lu Jinghan using the legacy left to him by his mother, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family.
"What?!" Lu Jinghan suddenly asked, "Give her 100,000 yuan a month? Plus 5 shares in my own company. Why is she worth it!"
According to the current market value, 5 shares are more than ten million. Xia Xiaomu has to work hard to draw a mural and only gives him 6,000 yuan. Why is that woman?
Li Hai was silenced: "This, you decided on it."
Lu Jinghan: "Did I get into my mind at the beginning? You don't know how to stop me!"
Li Hai:
That's not what you said at the beginning.
Lu Jinghan thought of another thing: "If I agree to this agreement, then if I tell you in the future, I will be Xie Weiwan's boyfriend and fiancé?"
He suddenly felt a strong sense of repulsion. When he thought that the two of them would be carrying that relationship, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his stomach felt a sensation of disgust.
Li Hai: "It's not that you promised her, it's that she promised you. We used to beg her."
Lu Jinghan asked back: "Why should I sign this agreement with her?"
"This is the order given by the old man, and as long as you get engaged, the person in charge of Lu's family will be you right away."
Lu Jinghan laughed out loud: "I'm really a bastard. If I want Lu, would I have to rely on her, Xie Weiwan, so I can't get it myself? And do you really think the old man is willing to hand over the Lu Group to me like this? What's more, without Lu's, I don't have the ability to make money? I can't support Jing Yi?"
A series of rhetorical questions suddenly made him suddenly enlightened!
He used to live in the darkness, so he couldn't find his direction. Now the world is bright and the road is open. The one in front of him is clearly a sunny road.
Li Hai hesitated and asked: "Then, Xie Weiwan."
Chapter completed!
