Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Spending Money Day 120
Liu Yue is very proactive. Not long after returning from Russia, she couldn't stay at home for a few days and went to Sri Lanka again.
Her main destination is Trincomalee, where sperm whales and Bryde's whales are often spotted. She even learned to scuba dive in the area. While it was just basic, it was enough to get her excited enough to post several messages on WeChat Moments, nearly being mistaken for a micro-business scam.
When she was not at home, He Zhiyuan often visited Lucas and took him out for a walk after get off work.
When Liu Yue came back, she was surprised to find that Lucas had formed a tacit understanding with others - the behavior that Lucas would respond to any action taken by humans in the past was clearly exclusive to her!
Liu Yue felt a little jealous and guilty.
Well, it’s true that she spent most of this month playing outside and didn’t bring Lucas with her... It’s normal for a cat to be close to whoever plays with it.
She decided not to leave the house in September. If there were any scrap missions, she would go and come back quickly, or try to bring Lucas with her.
Liu Yue stayed at home for a few days, and she won one million on the first Monday of September.
A good start - in Liu Yue's memory, in the whole late August, she only won 100,000 yuan once, and the rest were all 10,000 yuan.
After a little thought, Liu Yue ordered a ready-made RV.
In fact, the RV she customized earlier has been completed. This behemoth definitely cannot be driven into the underground garage of Shenwan Tiancheng, and ordinary parking lots do not have parking spaces that big. Liu Yue specially rented a vacant lot with a warehouse for parking so that its maintenance and repair parts can be placed nearby.
Liu Yue visited the RV on site and was very satisfied with its functionality and comfort, but she had to consider another issue: when traveling in an RV, a car that is too large is sometimes not as flexible.
But it doesn't matter. She goes out to sea on a big ship and watches whales on a speedboat. According to this idea, wouldn't it be better for her to have a smaller RV? This way, she can provide a few more beds and make it more convenient for group travel.
In this way, when she is driving on the road, she has everything from large RVs, small RVs, cars and motorcycles. She can flexibly switch between various means of transportation according to road conditions at any time. It’s very comfortable to think about it.
He Zhiyuan offered her some suggestions on buying a "small RV." He could only say that the word "small" was only a relative concept...
A million-level RV is considered high-end in the entire market. The reason it is kept as a spare is simply because its owner is Liu Yue, who also has another top-of-the-line luxury behemoth.
While playing with the cat, Liu Yue said to the system, "Can the next fragment be placed in a place suitable for RV travel? That way, I can take Lucas out to play."
Maybe it can make new cat and dog friends in various RV camps.
The system remained silent, so Liu Yue interpreted this behavior as "tacit consent."
The system is not allowed in principle, but it is allowed in practice. It will try its best to take care of her good system.
However, Liu Yue had not yet waited for the new fragment task to be released, and she had used the 10 million yuan she had earned on Tuesday to buy gold.
"I've gathered some more sculpture materials for you." Liu Yue touched Lucas's head. "I wonder what kind of pose you prefer, a sitting one or one in motion?"
It is easier to work on a sitting cat. If you want to show the dynamic sense of the cat, it requires higher craftsmanship of the goldsmith, and the cost and loss may also be higher.
But Liu Yue doesn't care. Our main character is a rich and willful person.
Liu Yue, who spends money at home, has recently unlocked a new hobby.
He Zhiyuan discovered that she had changed her profile picture—and not only her profile picture, but also the background picture of her Moments, her phone wallpaper, and her chat page wallpaper had all been changed to various styles of Lucas.
That’s right, Liu Yue’s new hobby is commissioned writing.
In fact, Liu Yue had asked Lucas to write an article a long time ago. The game coins in her home are divided into two sides, one for her and the other for Lucas.
At the time, she just thought it was cute and didn't think much of anything else. But a few days ago, she saw the artist's circle of friends. She also has a cat at home and posted a picture of herself and her cat interacting.
This kind of Q-version interaction is a very common business in commissioned works, but Liu Yue had never seen it before. This picture piqued her interest, and she asked the artist if he could draw something like this for her and Lucas?
And then...it was out of control.
The artist took on many of her orders because Liu Yue wanted to draw a lot of actions. As for her beloved Lucas, he was so cute no matter how she looked at him, and she wanted to preserve every photo in another form.
She couldn't finish the painting by herself, so she introduced Liu Yue to several friends in the circle. These people had a different painting style from her, and opened the door to a new world for Liu Yue.
People often have sufficient patience and desire to explore in areas that interest them.
Even though Liu Yue was a novice before, she learned it by herself and figured out several writing commissioning software.
You can never have too many Q-versions, and you must have a few character illustrations. American comic styles are also good, and imitation watercolors and imitation oil paintings are also very interesting...
Liu Yue also found an artist who specialized in drawing comic strips. She liked his style very much, but the artist said she was not very good at drawing cats and declined.
It wasn't a big deal. Liu Yue adjusted her budget and royalties, and said she would immediately start learning how to draw a cat. Whether it was standing, sitting, lying down, or moving, as long as she wanted to, she could definitely draw it well.
Liu Yue was very satisfied - as she said, there is nothing that money can't solve.
When He Zhiyuan came over, Liu Yue showed him a few commissioned drawings, all of which were her recent favorites.
"The ones I'm currently working on are all graphic comics."
Liu Yue said: "Actually, I'm considering finding someone to help me draw an audio comic or an animation. I really want to make an animation to record the story of Lucas and me."
She looked at Zhuzhu: "Can I let Zhuzhu join this story? She is Lucas's good friend."
Of course He Zhiyuan would not refuse, but he pointed at himself again.
"What about me?" he said. "As Zhuzhu's parent, it's reasonable for me to show up. I'm willing to grant you the image license."
Hmm... Liu Yue thought about it for a moment, thought what he said made sense, and nodded.
He Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that he had to rely on his status to make Liu Yue think of him in this matter.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she can't think of anyone else, that's enough.
Liu Yue had commissioned a lot of manuscripts some time ago. When she was looking at the order list, she found a sudden red reminder and realized that one of the manuscripts had exceeded the deadline.
The artist did not explain the situation, so Liu Yue sent a message to ask what caused the timeout.
If there is an emergency situation beyond her control in reality, she can be flexible, but at least you have to say hello to her.
The artist replied after a while, saying that there was an expedited order ahead of her and someone else had cut in line using their cash, so she was asked to wait.
Liu Yue:?
No, that's not the case. She hadn't thought that someone would cut in line one day.
Liu Yue was not interested in spending money and said "draw mine first" - this was the manuscript she had commissioned a few days ago. Before this order was completed, she received several similar ones, all of which were of high quality. She liked them very much, so she was not too interested in this order. If others wanted to cut in line, let them do it.
She stayed on the screen for a while, waiting for the artist to discuss a solution with her.
In Liu Yue's opinion, after all, the artist was trying to make quick money, which directly affected her rights and interests. So, it is reasonable for her to be compensated, right?
No matter what, being cut in line is always a bad feeling. Liu Yue doesn't care about the money, but she wants an apology.
But no, there was no further news from the artist, as if all she needed to do was to inform her. Not to mention offering a solution, she didn't even say "sorry."
Liu Yue's patience ran out, and she clicked to request a refund. The artist hadn't even uploaded a draft, so there was no need to issue a refund based on specific milestones; she could just get the full amount.
At this time, the artist reacted again. She did not agree to a refund and said that if she had to refund, Liu Yue should pay her 40% of the order fee.
Liu Yue was truly bewildered. The artist hadn't submitted the artwork on time, and now she was being asked to pay a late fee? Was that even reasonable?
As the first party, Liu Yue had never suffered such grievances. If this were a serious cooperation, she wouldn't be charging any fees for running away from the order, but Liu Yue would be calculating the loss of time lost with her.
She was too lazy to waste time talking to the other party. She only had one request, which was a refund.
The artist sent another message, saying that if she didn't pay the commission, she would become a tabloid and be banned on the entire Internet, so that all artists would avoid her. No one would take her orders in the future, and she would not be able to survive in this circle.
The more Liu Yue looked at it, the more confused she became. Is this still Chinese characters?
She directly handed the phone to He Zhiyuan next to her: "Lawyer He, this situation is in your hands."
