Chapter 347 Want to buy a new painting
Shi Tingyu talked about real cases. During the class, she asked Zhao Qiansun and the other two students who came to attend the class to compare the portraits they had drawn in the case with the real photos.
The portraits that were 80% to 90% similar to the photos made the students excited. They
had a stronger confidence in the major they chose.
In order to make them feel involved, Shi Tingyu asked someone to describe the scene and she drew the portrait.
The final portrait stunned everyone.
Because the student who described the case had a photo with her mother, when she took out the photo to show the students, the students' exclamations lasted for a long time.
The class ended when everyone was still not satisfied.
Shi Tingyu packed up the textbooks and said, "Go back and preview the contents of the new textbooks, and start learning the knowledge in the textbooks tomorrow."
The students responded loudly. This first class was an eye-opener for them.
After school, Lu Weiguo specifically asked Shi Tingyu about her first day teaching students from the Public Security University.
Listening to her talking about school with a smile on her face, Lu Weiguo felt relieved.
So far, Shi Tingyu's career as a forensic portrait teacher has also entered the right track.
Yangcheng Hotel.
A group of tall Americans got off the car and slowly walked into the hotel.
The man in the lead was John, a reporter who was once an acquaintance of Shi Tingyu.
He was talking to the people around him happily.
This time he accompanied a business team from the United States to Yangcheng for inspection.
He likes to go to China because he is very interested in Chinese culture.
Many people are reluctant to come to China because they think China is poor and backward, so he took advantage of it.
The hotel staff took John and others to their reserved room and were about to leave.
A blond man blocked their way, "Excuse me, where are Fiona's paintings?"
The staff was a little stunned.
The translator next to him translated the man's words, but the other party was still a little confused.
John then remembered that Fiona was just the foreign name of Shi Tingyu, so he said: "The Fiona he is talking about is Shi Tingyu, you should know her, she is very famous."
With the translator, the staff understood what John said, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Of course he knew about Shi Tingyu, as there was a lot of noise about it some time ago.
But...
"Our hotel doesn't have Fiona's paintings."
When John heard the translator say that there were no Fiona's paintings, he couldn't help but frowned, "When I booked the room, you said that there were Shi Tingyu's paintings."
John felt cheated.
The staff had no idea about this, so he hurriedly found He Beitong.
He Beitong was overwhelmed when he heard the reason for the incident.
He vaguely remembered that someone said that they had received a business delegation from the United States, and that they made the right decision to book Teacher Shi's paintings this time, and that the other party liked Teacher Shi's paintings very much. He didn't expect that this was the American business delegation.
In fact, the staff also said it in a hurry.
In order to better serve foreign guests, they all needed to undergo training. During the training, they were told that when foreigners asked questions about domestic and foreign affairs, the service personnel should answer in accordance with the spirit of the China Daily.
So they often organized newspaper reading sessions, and at that time, the reports about Shi Tingyu were very popular.
This statement made it known that the hotel had Shi Tingyu's paintings.
However, no one expected that the contract would be terminated in the end, and Shi Tingyu's paintings were replaced by Liu Tingting.
And now Liu Tingting's paintings were also taken down after the Liu family's accident. The paintings hanging in the conference hall now are the old paintings before the renovation.
He Beitong was in a dilemma at this time. He gritted his teeth and said, "We have ordered Teacher Shi's paintings, but they have not been delivered yet. I will ask when it will be delivered tomorrow. You have ordered it from us for two weeks, so you will definitely be able to see it."
At this point, John's expression eased and he did not embarrass He Beitong.
After settling the people, He Beitong hurried to report the situation to the leader.
The leader's face was not good at this time. No one expected such a thing to happen.
"Then please ask Manager He to contact Teacher Shi again. Her paintings have already been finished. I think she will be willing to sell them. Moreover, the paintings are based on the decoration style of our hotel. I am afraid no one will buy them except us."
He Beitong disagreed.
Speaking of decoration style, the decoration styles of many foreign affairs hotels are very similar. With Shi Tingyu's current fame, I am afraid that she will have no trouble selling them.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Leader, the price we negotiated with Teacher Shi last time was 8,000 yuan. After all, we were at fault for breaking the contract this time. Do you think we should raise the price this time?"
The leader frowned and shook his head, "No, that's 8,000 yuan. If she doesn't sell the painting, she'll have to spend it. I'm giving her face by not lowering the price."
He Beitong lowered his head and sighed in his heart. This time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to handle.
He felt that raising the price was difficult to handle, let alone that he couldn't raise the price now.
The leader didn't know what He Beitong was thinking at the moment, but just asked him to do it quickly.
He Beitong started to make a draft in his mind after leaving the leader's office, preparing to call Shi Tingyu.
In the evening, Principal Ren came to Shi Tingyu's house and said that the Yangcheng Hotel called her.
Shi Tingyu raised her eyebrows, thinking that the matter should be related to her painting, and the matter related to her and the Yangcheng Hotel was the painting.
Sure enough, after Shi Tingyu answered the phone, He Beitong's enthusiastic voice rang out.
First he apologized, then he sold it at a low price, and finally he stated his purpose.
"I don't know if Teacher Shi's painting has been sold. If it hasn't been sold, our hotel likes Teacher Shi's paintings very much, and we hope that Teacher Shi can give it up."
Shi Tingyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said slowly: "The painting has not been sold, but I will not be on your hotel's list."
He Beitong felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
He said anxiously: "Teacher Shi, we were wrong last time, but you shouldn't be so angry about money, right?"
Shi Tingyu's tone was still gentle, without any anger, "I'm not short of money, so I can be willful."
He Beitong: ...
There's no way to chat today!
No matter how hard the other party tried, Shi Tingyu didn't give in, and finally left a sentence, "Don't call me again in the future, I won't consider your hotel."
After that, she hung up the phone.
Principal Ren saw that she had finished the call, and asked with a smile: "Are you really not going to sell your painting to them?"
Shi Tingyu nodded.
What they hate most in this business is that the person who ordered the painting breaks the contract and doesn't want it.
Whenever she encounters such a situation, she will never cooperate with the other party again.
Once unfaithful, never again. Although this statement is a bit far-fetched here, it is almost the same.
Principal Ren knew that the other party was not short of money, so he did not say much. He just felt a little sorry that such a good painting could only stay in the studio and be covered in dust.
