Chapter 335: Issue a Secondment Letter
Yi Chichi saw through his thoughts, but didn't say anything. Instead, she asked about the complexity of Gu Xinghua's crocheted patterns.
This person didn't know what politeness meant, so he said bluntly, "Of course the more exquisite the better."
"Sure, but it'll cost extra."
“It has been added.”
"Not enough. The price is fine for simple patterns, but not for elaborate ones."
She was very firm in her attitude, "If you can accept it, we'll continue the conversation. If you can't accept it, then whatever happens."
The implication is: she won't do it.
Gu Xinghua heard the threat in her words, exchanged glances with Ning Jiandong, and nodded slightly.
"First, draw a simple and complex pattern for me to see."
Yi Chichi nodded in agreement, picked up the paintbrush and started working.
The simple ones are naturally floral patterns, but the complex and exquisite ones do not choose flowers but vibrant green bamboos.
In order to show the difference between the two, she colored both pictures.
Ning Jiandong and Gu Xinghua, who stood beside her like two door gods, looked at the two painted pictures and fell into silence for a long time.
Yi Chizhi didn't say anything. He put down his paintbrush, picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly. After drinking, he peeled a lychee, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Before the core was spit out, Ning Jiandong spoke.
"I think simple ones are fine, and exquisite ones are also fine."
Gu Xinghua rolled his eyes, "You are talking nonsense."
Sure enough, it was right to place hope on Yi Chichi. She had a clean background and her husband was a soldier with a high rank. This alone made her invincible.
Secondly, she is good at painting and embroidery, so no one would have any reason to cause trouble if they asked her to draw a picture.
As for those two idiots who got in through connections...
Just think of it as paying to support two people who eat for free. As long as they can coax Yi Chichi well, they can ensure the variety and quality of the products, and this is a credit to them.
“What’s your ideal price for this type of picture?”
He took the exquisite one and asked Yi Chichi.
Yi Chichi's answer was to stretch out his hand and flip through it, "One hundred!"
"You killed me."
Gu Xinghua was fed up and held up three fingers, saying, "Thirty."
"That's a nice thought."
Yi Chichi's answer was to reach out and snatch the pattern from his hand, "Give it back to me, go find someone who is willing to pay this price, don't find me."
Gu Xinghua quickly stepped back to avoid her hand, "Then how much did you say?"
"100."
Yi Chichi was determined not to give in, and Gu Xinghua was so angry that the hairs on his body wanted to explode. "Niece, let me remind you that we don't want one or two, but many. Your price is really not acceptable, it's too high."
"...Then, let's lower it by five dollars."
Looks very aggrieved.
Gu Xinghua also felt aggrieved and continued to negotiate with her.
Then, the Chinese and the young people engaged in a fierce verbal battle.
Ning Jiandong wanted to interrupt countless times, and the two people who were bargaining so hard that they almost wanted to fight each other told him to shut up and continue.
Ning Jiandong, "!!!"
It felt like he shouldn't be here, but should just go out and squat at the door.
He sighed and silently drank water from his own teacup.
Go ahead and argue, as long as you don’t fight, it’s fine.
He can't control it anyway.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Yi Chi Chi got angry and slammed the table and said angrily, "48, this is the lowest limit I can accept, any lower and I will leave immediately."
"make a deal!"
Gu Xinghua answered the question very smoothly. Yi Chichi, who was furious, felt relieved after hearing his words. Very good, her goal was achieved.
Perfect!
"Uncle, we have a pleasant cooperation."
She smiled and held out her hand. Seeing her like this, Gu Xinghua shook his head helplessly and said, "The young people nowadays are really smart."
Ning Jiandong has a different view on this. "Only Yi Chichi is like this. Other young people are not as smart as her."
Yi Chichi, who had received the benefit but was not prepared to act nice and just wanted to make a fortune quietly, smiled modestly and then asked Gu Xinghua, "How many exquisite ones do you want and how many simple ones?"
“How much can you draw?”
This is a good question. Yi Chichi said shamelessly, "Uncle, if you ask me this, then I won't play tricks with you..."
After a pause, she proudly announced, "I can clear all the money in your account."
"puff……"
Gu Xinghua, who had just had a sip of tea, was frightened by her words. Ning Jiandong was not much better, "Are you so cruel?"
Yi Chichi exclaimed, "What's that? You all know that I'm good at drawing, so why are you still questioning my professional ability in drawing?"
Of course, she is only responsible for drawing the drawings. As for whether the master can make the finished product according to her drawings, that is the master's concern.
Ning Jiandong looked at Gu Xinghua, "You decide."
Gu Xinghua thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"Ten first, just like before."
The ones I drew last time will still last for a while.
This time, there are twenty pieces of simple and exquisite ones, and the remaining eight pieces, a total of sixteen, will be kept for now. After this batch of goods is sold and the payment is received, she will start production again, just in time for her to produce embroidery products next year.
Then she can come up with new pictures, the timing will be just right.
"Okay, I'll just publish a series on this exquisite thing."
“Can it be turned into a series?”
"Can!"
"Do it there."
Gu Xinghua was excited and diligently arranged the drawing paper and brushes for her. However, Yi Chichi waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about the price of the embroidery sample later."
She said the second half of the sentence while looking at Ning Jiandong. Ning Jiandong, who was originally holding a teacup and watching the interaction between the two with a smile on his face, suddenly lost the smile on his face.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, found it too difficult, so he gave up and said with a wooden face, "It's not 48?!"
"48 is the price for crocheting, not the price for embroidery."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "The difference between crocheting and embroidery can be described as heaven and earth. I thought you knew the difference well."
Ning Jiandong drank a sip of tea with a guilty conscience. He knew what was going on in his mind. Wasn't this just an attempt to take advantage of a bargain?
Who would have thought that Yi Chichi was really unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss.
Sighing, he said helplessly, "I want a Cantonese embroidery pattern, with a full composition and rich, bright colors."
“Are there any size requirements?”
“I want big, medium and small ones.”
This means that the fan, ornaments and screen are used together.
Yi Chichi was a little embarrassed, "If it's this level, I definitely won't be able to finish it in a day or two."
The embroidery sample you pay for must be the final draft, which needs to be colored. It is quite different from the sketch and refined draft. Just coloring the final draft is a big project.
Especially he wanted a large size like a screen.
"Make two small ones first, and you can work on the big one later."
"My ticket back to Northeast China tomorrow."
The implication is that even small ones can’t do it.
Ning Jiandong was puzzled. How could this be such a coincidence?
"Can't you stay a few more days?"
"No, my family leave has expired. If I don't leave, I will be arrested as a vagrant."
Gu Xinghua, who thought it was a big deal, clapped his hands and said, "This problem is easy to solve. We will issue a secondment letter to your hometown in the name of the Friendship Store."
