"Huh?" Liang Zhirou didn't react for a moment. Weren't they talking about starting a business with Lin Miaomiao? How did the focus suddenly shift to me...?
"What do you mean 'ah'? Could you be any more naive?" Chen Lu said with a laugh.
This silly goose sometimes lets out a soft, gentle "ah," which is actually quite cute.
Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged Liang Zhirou and shouted, "What did you do to her while I was away?!"
Chen Lu didn't care at all about the look she gave him, as if he were a pervert. "I didn't do this when you weren't here. I was just showing it to you."
"I want you to get used to it beforehand, so you won't be surprised later. This is all for my own good."
Lin Miaomiao makes a fuss over feeding Liang Zhirou a piece of candy; if she were to act as a third wheel again, wouldn't she be driven crazy by Liang Zhirou's noise?
This is not good; it's important to let her get used to it in advance.
Actually, Chen Lu didn't want to provoke her like this, but what could he do when she was an anime fan?
"Chen Lu! What do you mean?!" Lin Miaomiao bit her lip repeatedly in anger.
Liang Zhirou couldn't bear to look at the English anymore. She felt that she had spent the whole afternoon memorizing English, but she still didn't understand what Chen Lu meant by what he said earlier. It was too much of a mental drain.
What does it mean to avoid making a fuss later? What exactly is she trying to do?
Chen Lu continued looking at the computer screen, "I'm about to become the owner of a game studio, so watch your tone."
He said expressionlessly, "You might end up coming back to me if you can't make it in the future."
"Pah!" Lin Miaomiao spat at him, then pinched Liang Zhirou's shoulder. "Don't suffer here with him. Come to my dorm and watch me draw. I'll finish Saber soon, and it'll be super cool."
Chen Lu, who had been drooping his eyelids, perked up immediately upon hearing this. He stood up, leaning on the stone table, and asked, "You can paint?"
Lin Miaomiao cleared her throat. "How did you know I've actually been learning to draw since I was little?"
Chen Lu had never seen such a smug girl.
He sat down slowly, looking speechless. "Because no one knows a son better than his father."
After being tricked by Lin Miaomiao like that last time, he even went to study how to respond to Lin Miaomiao's words.
"You! If it weren't for the fear of upsetting my Zhirou, I would have drowned you in West Lake!"
Chen Lu saw Liang Zhirou's lips curl slightly up, and he smiled back, then said seriously, "To be honest, I didn't know you could draw."
Lin Miaomiao found it strange, "I wasn't given a chance to bring this up before, so I can't just mention it like I'm introducing myself, can I?"
But when you log onto the school's official website, no one gives you a chance to bring this up, yet you still say it anyway.
Chen Lu was too lazy to complain, after all, in his eyes, Lin Miaomiao was just a brand new leek to be harvested.
"Miaomiao's drawings are very beautiful," Liang Zhirou praised softly.
Chen Lu nodded. "Let me see?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaomiao opened her phone's photo album and pushed the phone in front of Chen Lu.
"Is it alright?" Lin Miaomiao put on her sunglasses and pushed them up slightly.
Chen Lu looked at the illustrations Lin Miaomiao had drawn, which were the kind of illustrations that could gain tens of thousands of followers by simply posting the drawing process on a video website.
It has a high concentration of anime/manga content, mostly consisting of comics and illustrations.
I don't know why I didn't pursue a career in fine arts.
"Great!" Chen Lu praised without reservation.
How did you know I...?
"I don't want to know, thank you." Chen Lu quickly interrupted her pretentious opening line, "You draw so well, why don't you choose an art-related major?"
"There's nothing I can do about it, my academic grades are just so good."
Lin Miaomiao saw Chen Lu staring at her coldly, smiled, and continued, "I originally wanted to choose this field, but it's not easy to develop in my hometown. My health isn't very good, so I'll most likely have to go back to my hometown to work after graduation."
So, I chose a major that makes it easy to find a job anywhere. My parents don't care how much money I make; they just want me to stay close to them.
"Do you have a dream?" Chen Lu asked seriously.
Lin Miaomiao tilted her head. "Dream?"
"You can draw a few artworks for the game I need, and I'll pay you a thousand a month. The workload is very small, so you can rest assured."
Lin Miaomiao resisted the urge to lick her lips, feeling a little tempted. After all, it had always been a hobby for her since she was a child, and she had never thought of making money from it.
Not to mention making money off Chen Lu, it sounds pretty good.
She really enjoys playing anime mobile games, and the thought of being able to work as a game artist is quite exciting for her.
Chen Lu couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he added, "You think it's too little? How about 1,500 a month? That's practically free pay for your workload."
Liang Zhirou knew that Chen Lu's budget was around two thousand yuan, but she really didn't know who to help. She could only look at Chen Lu and then at Lin Miaomiao, curiously watching their reactions.
He thought to himself that Chen Lu was really too wicked, he had a whole set of tricks up his sleeve to deceive people.
"1500?" Lin Miaomiao was completely tempted. 1500 was two 648s! How many characters could that get!
Seeing Lin Miaomiao's excited expression, Chen Lu was finally relieved. "Alright, let's make it a flat price, two thousand, but you have to be available whenever I call you to work overtime."
"make a deal!"
Lin Miaomiao didn't hesitate at all; she never imagined that Chen Lu's initial budget was two thousand.
He had signed an extra contract of servitude for nothing.
The two smiled and nodded to each other, but for different reasons.
Chen Lu smiled and put his index finger to his lips, making a 'shh' gesture at Liang Zhirou.
