After thinking about the key, Shen Changan's face turned very bad.
Jiang Li saw that Shen Changan had a gloomy expression and lowered his head without saying a word.
We are all smart people. Some things don’t need to be explained too clearly. If you understand them, you really understand them.
Talking too much would make it seem deliberate. Now that Jiang Li saw Shen Changan looking so bad, he felt relieved.
The smarter a person is, the more clever he is. I guess at this time his divergent thinking has gone astray.
It took a long time for Shen Changan to come back to his senses. He realized that something was wrong with his condition and quickly rubbed his cheeks.
"Sorry, I was thinking too much. Did I scare you like this?"
"It's okay, I'm not scared."
Jiang Li said seriously, and Shen Changan was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"You should draw me a portrait of Mr. Long. I'll have other uses for him later."
"Okay, I'll draw it right away."
Jiang Li took out his drawing board and pen without saying a word and immediately got into the state.
Because he had painted it once before, Jiang Li hardly needed to think this time and finished a portrait in just ten minutes.
"Okay, the painting is done."
Shen Changan took the portrait and looked at it again and again. The character on the paper was exactly as he imagined.
Jiang Li's hands are so skillful and her mind is so flexible that there is nothing she can't draw as long as she wants to.
"That's a great painting. Can you draw another portrait for me?"
"Even if this portrait is a gift to you, you'll have to pay me if you want me to paint another one."
Even brothers would settle accounts openly. Shen Changan is so rich, so he shouldn't care about this, right?
"Okay, just keep painting, and I won't give you a penny less."
Shen Changan took out his wallet from his pocket and opened it in front of Jiang Li on the spot.
"You see, I'm not short of money, even if I need anything."
Jiang Li snorted softly. This guy was showing off his wealth to him. So what if he was rich? It was amazing!
"Okay, if you have any requests, just tell me and I'll draw it for you right now."
Shen Changan recalled the appearance of his grandmother in his mind, and soon he told Jiang Li little by little according to his imagination.
Jiang Li listened carefully and wrote down some key features in his notebook.
"That's about it. The old man has a red mole at this position on his forehead."
Shen Changan pointed to his forehead. Jiang Li stared at that spot for a while and soon had an idea in his mind.
"Okay, if you don't have anything else to add, I'll start drawing."
"I've said everything I can say. Now start painting."
Shen Changan supported his chin with both hands, and was now looking forward to the finished product that Jiang Li would draw.
If grandma saw her own portrait, she would definitely like it very much, right?
"By the way, I'd like to ask, is this portrait you want to draw a daily sketch, or a portrait of the old man a hundred years from now?"
Jiang Li asked cautiously, fearing that Shen Changan would be unhappy if he said something wrong.
"It's normal. The old man is very healthy now. He is a very kind old man and he likes to laugh. I hope his portrait will show more smiles."
"What kind of clothes do you usually like to wear?"
Since I have asked Jiang Li, I plan to ask in more details so that the portrait I draw will be more in line with the other party's wishes.
"The old man usually wears home clothes. On formal occasions, he likes to wear a Mao suit as his top and a black long skirt as his lower body. Sometimes he wears cloth shoes and sometimes he wears leather shoes."
Shen Changan's introduction was very detailed, and Jiang Li felt more confident after listening to it.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and started painting seriously.
Shen Changan supported his chin with both hands and looked quietly at Jiang Li, who rarely even blinked while painting.
I saw her brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.
Overall, his mood is relatively stable and he looks particularly peaceful.
Jiang Li painted this portrait very carefully. It took her more than 40 minutes, and every detail was handled perfectly. Finally, a smile appeared on her face.
"It's done."
Jiang Li handed over the drawing board and the portrait, and Shen Changan took it nervously with trembling hands.
Shen Changan was a little hesitant to look, because Jiang Li had never seen his grandmother, and all the information about his grandmother came from him.
But when he saw the portrait in front of him, he was stunned.
The living grandmother comes to life on the paper; her eyebrows, eyes, features, and smile are all exactly the same, as if the grandmother herself is standing in front of Jiang Li, and Jiang Li is watching her sketch her portrait stroke by stroke.
Jiang Li specially outlined the red mole on grandma's forehead with a red pen, making grandma look more vivid.
And the clothes grandma was wearing. The upper body was indeed her favorite Zhongshan suit, the lower body was her favorite pleated long skirt, and she was wearing a pair of cloth shoes on her feet.
The grandmother in the portrait is gentle and elegant, looking like a lady from a noble family.
In fact, grandma's personality is also like this. Jiang Li has never seen grandma, but he not only copied her portrait completely, but also reflected some small details very well.
Jiang Li’s paintings are so good!
"Jiang Li, you draw so well!"
This was the first time that Shen Changan truly realized how amazing Jiang Li's painting skills were.
"As long as you're satisfied. By the way, I have something to ask you. If I want to find a part-time translation job, how can I find it?"
Jiang Li was not familiar with the situation here. She had majored in English and had planned to be a translator after graduating from university, but she accidentally opened a shop and became a small boss.
It is not convenient to open a store with children now, and Jiang Li does not want to consider it for the time being. However, in the 1970s, many people's English was very poor, so being a translator was an advantage at that time.
She had read some books before, and some of them also wrote about the heroine working as a part-time translator.
But it only mentioned it briefly and did not provide any detailed explanation of how I found this job.
Jiang Li didn't think deeply about it when he saw it, but now he wants to use it and finds that there is no way to do it.
Shen Changan is knowledgeable and experienced. Jiang Li thought he might have experience in this area, so he thought of asking him.
"I haven't heard of this before, but I can help you find out. Who will do the translation work? What kind of language? Will it be English? Or another language?"
Shen Changan was very surprised. Jiang Li was so young and I heard he hadn't read much. Why would he think of asking about part-time translation?
Shen Changan thought this not because he looked down on her, but because he felt that this matter could not be explained.
"English."
Jiang Li's answer was evasive because she didn't want Shen Changan to think too much. Besides, not only Shen Changan would be surprised that she could speak English, even her younger brother Jiang Yi would find it incredible.
"Is this your business? Or are you asking for someone else?"
"They're both gathering information, so what's the difference between the two?"
Jiang Li didn't want to say it, but Shen Changan kept asking, which made Jiang Li a little annoyed.
