Chapter 307 Brother has X-ray Eyes

The person who spoke was Huang De, the head of the Propaganda Department. Seeing that the head looked unhappy, Section Chief Zhang quickly stood up and apologized:

"Calm down, head, we are already trying to find someone to do the drawing."

"How can you be a section chief? You don't even have a backup person in such a large Propaganda Department?" Head Chief Huang was a man of swift action. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Section Chief Zhang's efficiency. He looked at him and continued:

"The propaganda poster is the face of our department. If you leave a blank now, it will make our department lose face!"

The accused Section Chief Zhang looked helpless and explained to Head Chief Huang:

"The previous secretary Wu who was in charge of the blackboard newspaper was transferred too suddenly. It is really hard to find a painter. I also know that this blackboard newspaper is very important, so I dare not let a half-baked person draw it..."

After listening to Minister Zhang's explanation, Minister Huang frowned even deeper and said:

"If you can't find anyone, can't you think of other ways? If it doesn't work, you can go to the middle school next door and ask an art teacher to draw it? It's been a Sunday, and you don't feel ashamed, but I do."

Minister Zhang suddenly realized and his eyes lit up:

"Oh, why didn't I think of it? Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to invite him now."

"I say, your brain is really stupid, hurry up, don't delay any longer." After Minister Huang said this, he turned and walked out.

Xia Qingliu stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two. She did not interrupt them rudely. When they finished talking, she did not hesitate and said to Minister Zhang:

"Minister, can I try this blackboard newspaper?"

"You can draw?" Minister Zhang looked at Xia Qingliu in surprise. As far as he knew, Xia Qingliu lived in the countryside before and should not have been exposed to formal painting. So he wanted to refuse tactfully:

"Comrade Xia, our blackboard newspaper is for the whole military region to see. It is not a joke. If you are not sure..."

"Minister, don't worry, I am sure." Xia Qingliu said seriously.

This job opportunity is in front of her, there is no reason for her not to seize it.

"Oh." After hearing her confident words, Section Chief Zhang nodded. He thought it would be okay to let her try. After she finished drawing, he would know at a glance whether she was good or not.

"Well, I'll ask a comrade in our department who has good handwriting to help you."

Soon Section Chief Zhang called a man in his thirties and asked him to take Xia Qingxiong to the propaganda bulletin board.

After the man left, he still sent an official to the school next door to invite an art teacher. Although Comrade Xia said she could do it, he had never seen her draw before and didn't know her strength.

If she could only draw simple and childish pictures like those in kindergarten, the Minister would punish himself even more severely.

So he made two preparations. If Xia Qingxi couldn't do it, he would let the art teacher take over.

The propaganda blackboard is next to the military district gate. When Xia Qing arrived, she found that the blackboard was much larger than she had imagined. She thought it was only two or three meters long, but she found that it was five meters long. She thought it would take one or two hours to finish, but it seems that it will take at least six or seven hours to finish.

No wonder the minister attaches so much importance to this propaganda blackboard, saying that it is the "face" of the propaganda department. The location is indeed eye-catching, right next to the gate, and the soldiers can see it when they come in and out. She also understands why Section Chief Zhang left it empty and did not allow people to draw casually. If you don't have some real skills, it will really bring shame to the entire propaganda department.

Thinking that this was her stepping stone to join the Propaganda Department, Xia Qingling wanted to perform better. After thinking for a while, she looked at the clerk named Lin who came with her and asked humbly:

"Teacher, what were the themes of the previous blackboard newspapers?"

Seeing that she was beautiful and very humble, the clerk Lin next to her cooperated and explained the content of the previous versions to her in detail, which roughly included three aspects: political propaganda, ideological education and communication reports.

"I have selected some current events in the latest daily newspaper. I will be responsible for the articles. You just focus on painting." Lin reminded her.

"Then thank you for your help." Xia Qingling replied gratefully.

Two people working together are naturally much more efficient than one person, and Minister Zhang just said that this official has very good handwriting, so he can just take care of the articles.

Xia Qingxi left all the boards that needed writing, and then began to paint with concentration.

Because the height was not enough, the two of them found the scaffolding they usually used for painting, and Xia Qingxi spent the whole morning outlining the general outline of the picture.

At noon, the soldiers finished their training and started to eat. Everyone didn't pay attention to the paintings on the wall, but thought that the girl who painted was really beautiful.

Lu Jingqi and Su Xiangnan came out later, and the two walked side by side to the cafeteria.

"Hey, wasn't the person who drew the prints in the Propaganda Department a man before? Why did it become a pretty girl today?" Su Xiangnan glanced to the side casually and saw a figure standing on a high shelf busy at work from a distance. He spoke to Lu Jingchen in surprise.

Because the distance was quite far, he could only see a blurry back. Lu Jingchen glanced at Su Xiangnan and said in a deep voice:

"Can you tell whether she is pretty or not just by looking at her back?"

"Haha, Xiao Si, I haven't told you..." Su Xiangnan came over and whispered mysteriously in Lu Jingchen's ear:

"Brother has developed a X-ray eye! Don't compete with me in mine clearance in the future, otherwise you will lose and doubt your life."

"Get lost!" Lu Jingchen knew that he wanted to play a trick on him again, so he threw out two words directly.

"Don't you still don't believe it? How about making a bet? I bet that girl is definitely a beauty." Su Xiangnan blinked at Lu Jingchen and said confidently with a smile.

"Boring." Lu Jingchen threw two words at him, retracted his gaze, and walked forward.

He didn't care whether the girl was beautiful or ugly.

Su Xiangnan caught up with him in a few steps, raised his arms to hold her, and said in a provocative way:

"Xiao Si, just tell me if you dare to bet? Let's go and see. If I win, you will pay for my lunch."

Lu Jingchen shook his hand off his neck, didn't want to pay attention to him, and continued to stride forward.

"Hey, Lu Jingchen, if you don't dare to bet, it means you admit defeat. You will pay for my lunch." Su Xiangnan said loudly while chasing him.

The voices of two people came over. Xia Qingling heard Lu Jingchen's name and subconsciously looked over here. Seeing that it was indeed Lu Jingchen and the third brother, he hesitated for a moment and called out:

"Third Brother..."
