Chapter 495 Thank you for helping me build my reputation



Jiang Li had already memorized Li Sixue's appearance and detailed features.

But he didn't start writing for half an hour, and Li Sixue stood stiffly by the side, unable to move or sit.

It was fine at the beginning, Li Sixue could still hold it in, but after a while she started to sweat.

Under the scorching sunlight, Li Sixue's back soon became wet.

The hair on her forehead was wet and stuck in wisps, and she looked disheveled.

Jiang Li kept an eye on the changes in her, and only started writing when she couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Sixue kept cursing in her heart and thought about quitting several times.

If she didn't want to see Jiang Li make a fool of herself, she would never have wronged herself like this.

Li Sixue kept grinding her teeth, hating her to the core.

But she was too embarrassed to get angry in front of so many people.

Jiang Li had just punished Li Sixue, so when he started drawing, he was very fast.

Everyone watched her holding a pencil, first outlining the outline of the character, and then connecting the scattered lines little by little, and soon it became a portrait sketch.

Then she kept outlining and filling in, and the character on the paper gradually took on the appearance of Li Sixue.

When Jiang Li filled in all the details, a vivid Li Sixue appeared on the drawing paper.

Jiang Li's painting is so lifelike that it seems as if Li Sixue can walk out of the painting at any time.

However, Li Sixue's condition was indeed a bit bad at this time. She was sweating all over because of the heat, and her hair was stuck together in clumps.

The more realistic Jiang Li's painting was, the more embarrassed she looked.

After finally waiting for Jiang Li to put down his paintbrush, Li Sixue couldn't wait to walk to the easel.

How she wished Jiang Li would draw her as a weird monster so that she could laugh at Jiang Li to her heart's content.

I didn't expect Jiang Li to draw her almost exactly like the real person.

Just looking at the portrait of herself with her hair stuck to her forehead, Li Sixue felt indescribable emotions in her heart.

She felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

"You're lying, this doesn't look like it at all!"

Li Sixue's mind got hot and she blurted out what was in her mind.

Shen Changan took this opportunity to promote Jiang Li.

He took the initiative to open the yard door and invited all the neighbors in.

"If you say it doesn't look like it, it doesn't count. It only counts if everyone agrees it doesn't look like it! Besides, this was originally drawn according to your requirements and based on your current state. So, what's not like it?"

"Maybe Li Sixue didn't have a mirror, so she doesn't know what she looks like now."

Jiang Li replied with a smile, and grandma quickly waved her hand.

"Yuying, bring the mirror over here quickly."

"Here it comes, here comes the mirror!"

Yuying shouted loudly and immediately handed the mirror that had been prepared long ago to Li Sixue.

The mirror was placed in front of Li Sixue. Although Li Sixue was reluctant, she still held the mirror with both hands and looked at herself in the mirror again and again.

She looked at the mirror and then at the portrait. Although Li Sixue didn't want to admit it, the obvious fact was right in front of her.

She looks exactly like the portrait now.

Li Sixue's face flushed and her expression became extremely ugly.

"Li Sixue's portrait has been completed. You are welcome to view it. If you think there are any differences, you can point them out at any time."

Jiang Li said generously that the neighbors would be able to see more clearly after coming in.

Jiang Li's painting was so realistic that many people began to marvel at it.

Some elderly people would like to have a portrait of themselves painted before they die.

After a fierce ideological struggle, some people immediately took the first step bravely.

"Girl, your portrait painting skills are really amazing. Although 30 yuan per portrait is a bit expensive, art is priceless. Your painting skills are worthy of this income!"

"I'm getting old, and I don't think I'll live much longer. I've been thinking about finding someone to paint a good portrait of me, but I haven't found anyone suitable. You look pretty good."

"I'll pay you 30 yuan. Please draw a portrait for me. My wife always says I'm too fierce and won't let me go to the photo studio to have my picture taken. She says she's afraid my glaring eyes will scare her."

"I don't ask for much from you in your portrait. Just make me look a little friendlier and a little more attractive."

Hey! We've been married for life, so we have to leave a good impression on her when we grow old.

The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end he was talking to himself.

"Okay, I'll draw you a picture."

Jiang Li used respectful words to address the old man. Not only did he not mention the money, he also chose a shady place for him to sit down.

Jiang Li took the life-like portrait of Li Sixue down from the easel, rolled it up and stuffed it into Li Sixue's hand.

"Thank you for taking care of my business first. Everyone says my paintings are very realistic. Thank you for bringing me business. I will treat you to tea later!"

Jiang Liming clearly treated her differently, but his words to her were flawless.

Li Sixue stared at her and kept grinding her teeth, but Jiang Li smiled and turned sideways, not taking her seriously at all.

In order not to waste the old man's time, Jiang Li drew the portrait very quickly this time.

Just after half an hour, Jiang Li stopped writing.

"Old man, the portrait is ready. Would you like to see the result? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can still make changes."

The old man who had been sitting nervously on the side quickly walked over.

He stared at the portrait again and again, then looked at Jiang Li with an incredible look.

"Little girl, you are so amazing! You drew me so like me! This is the portrait I wanted!"

"I asked many people to draw this effect, but they couldn't achieve it. I also went to the photo studio to take pictures several times, but either the lighting was bad or the expressions were too stiff."

"Your drawing is so fresh and natural. I look fierce, but you made me look kind and friendly."

"Even though I'm not good-looking, you made some minor adjustments to the details and softened my overall lines."

"My husband would definitely be very satisfied if he saw this portrait. You are amazing, little girl!"

The old man praised Jiang Li several times, then couldn't wait to take out his wallet and quickly gave her 60 yuan.

"Grandpa, didn't we agree that 30 yuan would be enough? Why did you give 60 yuan?"

Jiang Li asked doubtfully while holding the 60 yuan, and the old man smiled and said.

"The other 30 yuan is for my wife. I'll bring someone over in a moment. You must draw it, but the level and style are the same."

As the old man spoke, he happily took his portrait away.

As he left, he kept looking back and kept reminding Jiang Li to wait there for a while.

After the old man left, the crowd who were watching the excitement opened their mouths into an O shape, some so big that an egg could fit in their mouths.
