After introducing everyone, President Zhou got straight to the point and said, "Xiao Jiang, have you read the information I gave you earlier?"
"Yeah, I've seen it."
Hearing this, President Zhou felt relieved. "You know the current situation. The construction team needs ten days to resume work. You only have ten days left."
"If I tell you that I can only give you nine days at most, can you finish the work?"
Nine days?
How is this possible!
Except for the members of the construction team and the political work team, there was no significant reaction. The people from other teams were all so surprised that they were speechless.
For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay."
President Zhou knew that he had made the right choice. "Do you need me to assign you some assistants?"
"No, I can do it alone."
Jiang Si has confidence in herself.
But the people present had never even heard of the name Jiang Si before.
In addition, not many people have seen her works, so everyone is inevitably worried.
"Comrade Jiang, this matter concerns the collective honor and cannot be taken lightly."
"If we can't finish it on time and with the right quality, then hundreds of people in our art association will be punished together."
"You have to think carefully, don't act on impulse!"
Jiang Si understood their concerns, but there was no point in saying more at this time.
Speaking with strength is the most direct and effective way.
Similarly, she took out a stack of portraits from her bag.
Chairman Zhou glanced at it for a few seconds and then handed it to Fang Yujun.
Fang Jun was surprised for a moment. She had been painting for her whole life so she could tell the difference at a glance.
The portraits painted by Jiang Si are all proportional.
Those by Qiu Yashu were copied casually.
There is absolutely no comparison between the two works in terms of care, painting style, and perfection.
Why is it not even a little bit different?
What surprised Fang Yujun the most was that Jiang Si's personal painting style was very obvious.
But as the brush moved, she still vaguely saw a hint of familiarity.
Before she could speak, Jiang Si had already stood up calmly.
Just like the last time she hammered someone on Qiongzhou Island, she would either not do it, or if she did it, she would not give others the slightest chance to question it.
So for the next half hour, Jiang Si went from fixed points and frames to specific characters that would appear in these forty frames.
And the model of painting supplies she needed, all of which were told in detail.
President Zhou crossed his arms and said nothing the whole time, but the expression on his face was full of pride.
After explaining her plan, Jiang Si also mentioned the issue of coating on the mural area.
The most common solution of this era was a mixture of slaked lime plaster and chopped straw paper.
This is cheaper, but dries slower.
Another one is white cement mortar plus antifreeze, which has better painting effect.
But the same problem still exists: it takes longer for the walls to dry in winter.
If you want the wall to dry quickly, another method is to apply putty directly.
Jiang Si had a temporary work permit from the Safety Administration, so she didn't need approval to buy the premium putty.
The price is relatively much more expensive than the previous two.
Jiang Si said: "If we use high-quality putty to scrape the wall, the painting team can have about ten more days to complete the work."
President Zhou pondered for a moment and finally chose the third option.
It’s a bit more expensive, but you’ll have more time.
A crisis was resolved and everyone came out with a smile on their faces.
Seeing that the construction team had to work overtime to catch up with the work, Jiang Si decided to go back first.
As soon as everyone walked out of the conference room, Qiu Yashu started crying.
“Master…”
However, Fang Yujun had no intention of listening to her crying at this moment. She covered her knees and quickly caught up with Jiang Si.
