Director Wang glanced at his own portrait and finally a smile appeared on his tense face.
The man in Jiang Li's painting had a smile on his face, and there were fewer wrinkles on his forehead, making him look a few years younger overall.
The key is that the eyes capture the vitality of young people.
Director Wang is now in his 40s. As he gets older, he always feels old. However, after looking at this portrait, even his mentality has become a lot younger.
This little girl can not only draw portraits, but also seems to be able to read minds.
This painting is not just a painting, it is clearly his inner desire for youth!
"Great, great, this portrait is very well drawn!"
Director Wang took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but Jiang Li quickly waved his hand.
"Fifty yuan for two portraits, so I'm making a profit. I'll consider this portrait a gift to you. If you have such good things in the future, please remember to let me know! I promise to be there at your beck and call!"
It was the first time that Director Wang met such a cheerful girl who was both good at talking and being a good person.
When I accepted the business, I gave him a painting as a gift, which left a good impression regardless of whether there was any subsequent cooperation.
Whenever Director Wang sees this portrait, he will think of this little girl. Of course, if there is really business, he will definitely think of her first.
"Jiang Li, right? You are a smart and capable girl. I admire you very much."
As a leader and elder, Director Wang rarely praises a junior directly like this.
Jiang Li's actions not only made his presence felt in front of Director Wang, but also made him a friend invisibly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director Wang. You are also a humorous and witty uncle."
By cooperating with the authorities, you can earn an ordinary worker's monthly salary in just one trip. This deal is really a great deal.
Jiang Li used all his skills to praise Director Wang so much that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Then don't call me Director Wang anymore. Just call me Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang, there's a case I want you to help me investigate. It's about my sister..."
Jiang Li briefly explained what happened, and Director Wang immediately knew which case she was talking about.
"Our people have been investigating this case and have apprehended many suspects. However, your sister has been taken to another province by the suspects and has changed hands several times."
"Our people are now struggling to conduct investigations in other provinces, and we are also cooperating with the Public Security Bureaus of other provinces. However, the country is too vast, and once they choose to hide in remote mountain villages, things will be very difficult to handle."
At this time, their public security needs to visit each place one by one, which will take a long time and consume countless manpower and material resources.
The reason why many of their cases are difficult to handle now is that many criminals are too cunning.
These crimes are often committed on the move. Unless police forces across the country are mobilized, they can easily become unsolved cases once they cross provinces.
Jiang Li asked for some more details, and the final result was the same as what she knew.
The situation is tense now. The criminals must have hidden my sister in the deep mountains and forests and have not brought her out yet. No wonder the public security bureau can't do anything to them.
Based on the current situation, this was the only way to go. On April 21st, Jiang Li would go back to the address he had seen before.
We should be able to find my sister before that family abuses her.
"Uncle Wang, it's really nice to chat with you today. There are some uncles and aunts waiting for me outside, so I won't stay long. We'll meet again sometime."
"By the way, this is the phone number of our village office. If you have business in the future, just call me directly. I'll pack up and come over. You don't have to trouble Uncle Wang's people to make an extra trip."
Jiang Li left his contact information and left the studio with a heavy heart.
It felt so good to have money in his pocket and be praised by others. But when he thought about his sister, Jiang Li felt unhappy.
As soon as Jiang Li came out, the captain and his uncle came to greet him.
"How's it going? Did that guy give you any trouble just now?"
"No, they just thought my portraits were good and wanted to ask me for a favor, and they offered me some money."
Jiang Li took out five dollars from his pocket, forced himself to cheer up, and waved it towards everyone with pretended happiness.
"I'm glad I didn't embarrass you. It's getting late, let's go back."
The captain led everyone out of the Public Security Bureau and they came to Baiyun Town and passed by the state-owned snack shop in the town.
It was dinner time and everyone was a little hungry after working all morning. Jiang Li was a tactful person and immediately treated everyone to noodles.
"Dear uncles, thank you so much for what we did today. Jiang Li doesn't have any special skills, nor does he make a lot of money, so he can't offer anything valuable to thank you. I just want to treat you to a meal, and I hope you uncles will do me the honor."
Jiang Li's attitude was very sincere, and his tone was full of pleading, and I couldn't bear to refuse.
And they were really hungry. It was boring to always eat food at home. It would be best if they could have a bowl of noodles outside.
The villagers all knew about Jiang Li's family situation. His younger siblings needed to go to school, and he had just given birth to twin sons, all of which cost money.
If she hadn't been able to draw portraits and do people's hair, the family would have starved to death long ago.
There were five or six grown men there, and they ate so much and spent so much money that it was really embarrassing.
"Everyone, come and sit down. Order whatever you want."
Under the captain's arrangement, everyone sat down, but they didn't feel comfortable ordering.
Jiang Li went straight to the front to order: "Boss, seven big bowls of egg and shredded pork noodles, please. I want more shredded pork and noodles. I can pay more!"
"Okay!"
The price of a bowl of noodles was not expensive, only 25 cents, and the price of an additional portion was 35 cents. Each bowl of noodles required two taels of food coupons.
By this calculation, Jiangli Company spent 2.45 yuan on the noodles, and also had to pay for 1.4 jin of food coupons.
Jiang Li also bought 20 big meat buns and some snacks. The buns were five cents each. The total cost of the buns, snacks and noodles was four yuan.
The villagers had long heard that the noodles at the state-owned snack shop in town were delicious, but it was a bit inconvenient for them, the authentic farmers, to need food coupons to eat.
The noodles are filled with pork head meat, a big egg and some small green vegetables.
Bowl after bowl of steaming hot noodles were served, and big, fragrant meat buns were placed on the table for everyone to eat.
The villagers, who had been starving for a long time, no longer showed any courtesy and lowered their heads to eat voraciously.
They ate until their foreheads were sweaty and their bodies were warm. They finished all the noodles and soup, and also the buns and snacks.
Everyone’s stomach was as big as a small ball. It was the first time to eat to their heart’s content and feel so satisfied.
If I helped Jiang Li at the beginning because I felt sorry for her, now I am really willing to do it.
Jiang Li earned five yuan in one trip, spent four yuan on them, and even lost more than a pound of food coupons. In the end, she still lost money. Everyone looked up and looked at her differently.
