It was quite a coincidence that Chairman Zhou and his painting group had just arrived at the entrance of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
As it happened, they ran into Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou, who were coming out of there.
It was freezing cold outside, so the two didn't talk much.
After confirming that Jiang Si was willing to take over the project, Chairman Zhou's excitement was palpable.
Although it wasn't a formal employment arrangement, he provided the highest possible treatment and benefits within his capabilities.
"I'll have the finance department draft an agreement for these later, and I'll bring it to you next time we meet."
As he spoke, Chairman Zhou took out a sealed document from his briefcase.
"This is all the information for the large mural project. You can take a look beforehand. If there are no problems, you can officially join the project in five days."
Jiang Si has no problem with the timing.
She was also very satisfied with the treatment.
When Huo Tingzhou heard that the original week's journey had been shortened by two days, he couldn't help but sigh.
However, that's not that important. Huo Tingzhou said, "Anything else is fine, but you must ensure her safety."
For a mural that is six meters high, the scaffolding must be at least five meters high.
At this height, even an average person's legs would shake uncontrollably if they stood on it.
Painting is something that requires a high degree of concentration to complete.
Huo Tingzhou was worried that if she stayed up there too long, her legs might go numb or she might accidentally step into an empty space...
Just thinking about it made his heart start pounding uncontrollably.
This is a problem that Huo Tingzhou is worried about, and Chairman Zhou is worried about it too.
That's the square in the capital!
If something really goes wrong, the consequences will be far from dire.
Therefore, even before accepting this task, Chairman Zhou had already reported the safety issue as a top priority.
Fortunately, the authorities also attach great importance to this matter.
Chairman Zhou said, "The construction team started setting up scaffolding yesterday. This time, it's not wooden scaffolding or steel pipe scaffolding, but full-length red scaffolding."
“Each layer of wooden planks in the middle is two meters wide, and all of these planks will be fixed with steel nails.”
"In addition, there are three layers of hemp rope netting under the scaffolding."
It's fair to say they've implemented all the necessary safety measures.
Hearing what Chairman Zhou said, Huo Tingzhou finally felt a little relieved.
On their way back, the two stopped by a state-run vegetable market near Dongdan.
It's cold now, and Jiang Si doesn't want to go out to buy groceries every day, let alone eat in the cafeteria every day.
So when they arrived at the market, she assigned Huo Tingzhou a task.
She told him to go and queue up to buy two live chickens, as she wanted to have chicken soup hot pot for dinner.
Of course, eating hot pot was a fact, but wanting to get him out of the way was also a fact.
While Huo Tingzhou was queuing to buy chicken, Jiang Si quickly found an opportunity to enter her spatial dimension.
I took several pieces of pork from different parts of the body and 30 eggs.
There's really no way around seafood, because the variety of aquatic products available in Beijing during winter is very limited.
In the end, Jiang Si could only take two large yellow croakers, a few ribbonfish, and about two pounds of shrimp.
The rest were vegetables available in this season, and she took a little of each.
Before leaving the space, she didn't forget to use the one-click feeding function to feed all the little ones inside.
The two wandered around inside for over an hour before finally buying everything they wanted.
I just grabbed a quick bite at the company cafeteria for lunch.
As soon as lunch was finished, Huo Tingzhou processed the live chicken and started simmering it over low heat.
Jiang Si went back to her room to organize the portraits she had drawn during this period.
It gets dark early these days; the weather starts to change outside before 5 p.m.
When Jiang Si came out, the food was already on the table.
She didn't even bother to ask Huo Tingzhou where he got the clay stove and charcoal; her gaze was completely drawn to the bubbling chicken soup in the casserole.
The chicken soup was simmered to perfection, and every bite was bursting with flavor.
Jiang Si drank two bowls in one go.
I know she likes to eat bones and parts of the body, especially chicken feet and wings.
Huo Tingzhou then picked them out and put them in her bowl.
Jiang Si reciprocated by giving him a huge chicken leg.
She didn't like eating meaty parts of the body when she was little, but luckily Huo Tingzhou was there for her.
When it comes to meals, they complement each other perfectly and have excellent chemistry.
"Would you like some more?"
Huo Tingzhou knew her appetite.
She ate much less than usual today; so far she's only nibbled on some chicken wings and feet, and hasn't eaten much else.
Jiang Si gave him a half-smile.
Then, she propped herself up on the table with her arms and stretched her face out in front of him.
"If I eat any more, I'll get sleepy soon—"
Huo Tingzhou paused as he cleared the dishes. Ever since that day, he had noticed that she seemed to like teasing him all the time.
His tone was slightly helpless, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."
After saying that, he immediately changed the subject.
"Would you like to take a bath? I've already boiled water for you."
Taking a bath?
Jiang Si wanted to take a bath, but there was no bathtub here.
Before she could speak, Huo Tingzhou said, "You were painting this afternoon, and since I had nothing to do, I went out and bought you a bathtub. Go back to your room first, and I'll carry the bathtub up to your room."
Following the direction of his finger, Jiang Si saw a wooden bathtub.
The material is uncertain, but the barrel walls are smooth and warm, indicating that it was carefully selected.
Jiang Si grabbed him; this bathtub was so big, it would be quite heavy to carry it upstairs.
And it seems like there's no room in the bathroom either.
