Chapter 24 Chapter 24 The first and second drawings
Saturday, August 3rd.
Pei Qing got up at ten o'clock in the morning and made an appointment with Han Heyue to have dinner together today.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Li Muxu sitting on the sofa. She called him "Brother" and hurriedly prepared to go out with her bag on her back.
Li Muxu stopped him and asked, "What time will you be back?"
Pei Qing: "There's nothing to do today, and He Yue won't be working overtime. We should go shopping and watch a movie after dinner. I'll be back for dinner in the evening."
Li Muxu didn't ask any more questions and said, "Let the driver take you there."
Pei Qing refused without even thinking: "No, Xu An gave me Pamei's keys yesterday, I will drive there myself."
Li Muxu smiled: "Last year when Xu An bought it, he asked you if you wanted it, and you said no."
Pei Qing: "After a year, I still think it looks the best! Brother, I'm leaving!"
She drove the Pamei to pick up Han Heyue.
Han Heyue had been sitting on the stone pier waiting for her. When she saw a matte gray Panamera driving over, she immediately ran over.
Han Heyue quickly climbed onto the passenger seat.
Pei Qing asked her: "Is he handsome?"
Han Heyue gave a thumbs up, praising him with words: "Very cool, very good!"
Pei Qing took Han Heyue to a private courtyard next to Longting Ecological Lake to eat private dishes.
The environment here has always been very good, the food is good, and it is not expensive, about two hundred per person.
However, the transportation here is not very convenient. There is no direct public transportation, so it is more convenient to drive.
The decoration of this private courtyard imitates the Chinese garden style. Pei Qing and Han Heyue were very happy with the meal.
After dinner, the two went shopping again and stopped at a jewelry store. Pei Qing saw a gold bracelet and hesitated whether to buy it.
Han Heyue: "No, sister, buy it. Why not? It's better to spend it on yourself than on your mother."
Pei Qing: "What you said makes sense."
In the end, I spent more than ten thousand yuan to buy a gold bracelet.
In the evening, Pei Qing went home wearing a gold bracelet. Xu An was lying on the sofa watching TV. The show on TV was Harry Potter again.
Pei Qing couldn't help but say: "You really love the magic world deeply."
Xu An: "Look, wow, a gold bracelet, where did you buy it, it's very nice."
Pei Qing threw the car keys to him.
Xu An: "How's it going? Here's a gift for you."
Pei Qing: "I gave it to you, why don't you open it?"
Xu An played with the car keys in his hand and said helplessly, "I heard that the new director is very serious and focuses on discipline. I'd better keep a low profile."
He threw the car keys to Pei Qing again.
Pei Qing took it and couldn't help but say, "I also need a low-key car."
If she has to go out for business, she can't open the Pamei every day.
Xu An thought about the cars in the garage and finally remembered that he had bought a Volkswagen when he first started working.
He asked Pei Qing if he wanted it.
Pei Qing nodded: "That's it."
＊
Pei Qing's life has become regular again recently. She doesn't have to get up in the morning, but the aunt at home will definitely wake her up at 11 o'clock.
Auntie said that Li Muxu had instructed that Pei Qing must be woken up and brought downstairs to eat at 11 o'clock at the latest.
The days of living alone and sleeping until three in the afternoon are gone forever.
Pei Qing yawned and followed his aunt to bring the dishes to the table.
"Brother, aren't you going home for dinner today?"
Aunt Chen: "Yes, Mr. Li is busy these days."
She brought out the stewed eggs with minced meat and placed it in front of Pei Qing. Pei Qing had loved eating this since he was a child.
She is easy to feed, but she doesn't eat much seafood.
Xu An also came downstairs slowly. The two of them sat at the dining table and looked at each other from a distance. Both of them were awakened by remote control.
Pei Qing asked him: "When will you go back to work?"
Xu An: "Next week, ah."
He sighed.
"I heard from Lao Ji that the new director is very strict. He even has rules for smoking indoors. Oh, how am I going to live when I go back?"
Pei Qing: "You can choose not to go home and be a rich second generation."
Xu An was dissatisfied: "Can you have a little more pursuit in life? By the way, how is the live broadcast recently? Have you encountered anything strange?"
Pei Qing took a look at him and thought that he was sick from being idle because of having no job, so he wanted to find something for himself to do.
She said: "No, I just draw some ordinary sketches recently, nothing special. I feel that my audience are all young people, some are preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations, some are preparing for civil service examinations, and some are preparing for teaching qualification examinations. From time to time, someone comes to ask me if I can pass the exam."
She sighed, "I think the test is quite variable, plus there are still a few months to go, so it may not be accurate. Maybe you're just seeking psychological comfort?"
Xu An was interested: "Then draw one for me too."
Pei Qing was scooping a spoonful of steamed egg. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "You don't go to work. You stay at home watching Harry Potter every day. What's there to draw?"
Xu An poked her and said, "Come on, draw one for me. You must have never drawn a family member. Draw one for me."
Who said he had never painted it? Pei Qing had painted Xu An’s father, but he didn’t draw anything.
There was no need to tell Xu An about this sad thing, so she had to agree to Xu An and ask him what he wanted to know.
Her drafts are usually based on other people’s demands, and then she draws them.
What does Xu An want?
Xu An thought for a moment and said, "Just paint my first day back at work."
This range is too large.
Pei Qing: "Anything more specific?"
Xu An: "No, just draw it like this. It's time to prove your ability!"
"All right."
Pei Qing was very reluctant. After dinner, he took out his tablet, sat on the sofa and started thinking.
Xu An watched her paint from the side.
Pei Qing was always fully focused when drawing, and soon she drew an office.
Xu An leaned forward to take a closer look. As the drawing became more detailed, his face became darker and darker.
When Pei Qing finished painting, she found that in addition to Xu An, there was also a woman in her sketch.
The woman sat behind the desk and Xu An stood in front of it.
Pei Qing looked at Xu An's standing posture and felt that he looked very serious. He turned around and asked Xu An, "Who is this woman?"
Xu An said numbly: "It's the new director of the Public Security Bureau."
Pei Qing suddenly realized: "Oh oh."
She took out her cell phone and searched the new director's resume and found that he had a very rich resume and outstanding achievements. This resume should be no problem for a provincial department, so why did he come to the city?
Pei Qing didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from saying to Xu An: "You were called in for a talk by your immediate boss on your first day back at work!"
Xu An was silent and didn't want to say anything.
Pei Qing patted Xu An on the shoulder: "It's not easy. I told you to just rest at home. Why do you have to calculate your work life? Look, there's something wrong with your calculation!"
Xu An sighed, pushed Pei Qing aside, and went upstairs with heavy steps.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Pei Qing continued the live broadcast.
She has been in a good mood in recent days, so her drawings are full of passion, and she draws some avatars and Q-version figures from time to time.
There are quite a lot of people asking for it on the public screen, and from time to time someone sends a gift.
Pei Qing simply drew a few and sent them out, then he saw someone smashing a few rocket launchers.
The special effects of the rocket launcher exploded on the public screen, colorful and eye-catching.
It’s time to live, Pei Qing thought.
[Here it comes, here it comes, someone finally comes to help the anchor increase his strength. 】
[Recently, people have been coming to calculate their test results every day. I am tired of seeing them. What’s the point of calculating? Good preparation is better than anything else. ]
【I squat.】
【Squat, squat, squat.】
…
A series of ten rocket launchers woke the audience up.
Pei Qing typed: [Want to ask something? ]
[I, I came to ask about my daughter. She's missing... She's been missing for three days. We searched everywhere but couldn't find her. The police didn't care... We've been looking for her for a long time. My daughter is usually very obedient! She's a little girl. Where could she go? She must have been deceived!]
Discussions began on the public screen.
[Your daughter is missing? Isn't it summer vacation now? How can a child get lost if she stays at home every day? ]
[Please explain clearly, including age, appearance, height, and other specific characteristics.]
[I know the answer to this question. You should send your daughter's photo to the anchor. That's what the guy who came to look for his cousin did last time.]
[That’s right. Click on the anchor’s avatar and click in to send a private message. ]
[Hey, isn't this Orange? Long time no see, come and watch the host today. ]
Lin Cheng just clicked in today after seeing the message. What a coincidence that she was recognized by others.
She continued typing: [Yes, come and take a look, I haven’t been here for a long time, I almost thought the host was going to say goodbye to us. ]
Someone else asked: [How is your cousin doing recently? ]
How is Zhu Wang?
Lin Cheng had actually seen Zhu Wang a few times when she was helping Qian Ya walk the dog.
She replied: [I’m fine. I can eat, drink and sleep well. But my grades are not so good. I’m considering whether to go back to high school or study abroad.]
[It’s good enough to get the person back healthy, the results are secondary. ]
Pei Qing also saw these comments. It seemed that Zhu Wang had adjusted his mentality.
Zhu Wang was the beginning of the first case. It is of course a good thing that he can get rid of the psychological trauma and start a new life.
Now it’s time to look at the parent who is looking for his daughter. I don’t know if it’s the father or the mother.
Pei Qing opened the backstage, but didn't see any photos.
She typed on the public screen: [Dear, please send me the photos. Simple text descriptions are useless.]
Apparently, the parent was not very familiar with the platform’s live broadcast interface. After hearing numerous comments on the public screen, the parent finally sent the photo, along with a name and date of birth.
Xu Qianyu, born on November 22, 1997.
Pei Qing took a look at the photo.
It was a girl wearing a blue and white school uniform. She didn't look very white, but she had a slim figure and narrow eyes that were slightly tilted to the right. She didn't look directly at the camera and had a cold expression. Her bangs hung down on her forehead but did not cover her eyes.
She didn't stand straight, her hands were placed stiffly on the outside of her thighs.
It's strange that the top and bottom halves of this photo present completely different effects.
Pei Qing typed: [I saw the photo. When did she disappear? On the 4th? What time exactly?]
[I came back from get off work at noon and found that she was missing. I looked everywhere, including her school, classmates, and friends, but no one said they had seen her. I really didn’t know what to do…]
Pei Qing was sure that this person should be the child's mother.
She opened a new sketch, looked at the photo of the girl again, and began to paint.
The scrolling speed of the bullet comments on the public screen slowed down, and the audience was staring at this brand new drawing, watching it gradually being filled with colors.
In the drawing, the first person who appears is a person wearing a black raincoat, with raindrops running through the raincoat and dripping onto the ground.
Next to the man in the black raincoat, there was a large suitcase. The suitcase was sky blue, which was not enough to attract attention. However, there were several clusters of red liquid on the suitcase, which gradually dripped onto the ground with the rain.
Speculations arose on the public screen.
[Did you see that? That red thing is blood, right?]
[The woman was put in the suitcase? ]
【It's hopeless.】
【Why not call the police? 】
Pei Qing was just about to send the drawing when he saw a barrage of comments suddenly pop up on the public screen.
[Impossible! Nothing will happen to my daughter! She just ran away from home! After a few days, she ran out of food and water, so she came back home!]
