Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh wipe the odds
That night, Liu Lan slept with a good sleep.
The next day, she came to his tattoo studio as agreed with Bang last night. For this business, her calligraphy tools were left in Bang's office, and she would continue to use them today.
The three characters she wrote here yesterday, Bang collected seal script versions, and hung them in the most conspicuous place in the office. You can see them as an alternative tattoo promotion advertisement. The other two regular script versions and official script versions were taken away by Jason, who said he wanted to store them in his own home.
Liu Lan thought she was on time, but she didn't expect that the female client who changed her boyfriend was like changing clothes had arrived.
The female client's appearance is really like her heroic style - she also has a flower arm, Jason is on the left and she is on the right, but the colored patterns are not as dense and exaggerated as Jason. In fact, her dress is average and not alternative at all, high-neck sleeveless knitted clothes, black hip skirt, stilettos, long dark blond hair is soft on her shoulders, dark blue eyes, and delicate face. If she ignores her exposed flower arm (specially displayed), three gem earrings on her ears, and flaming red lips, she will be more like a famous lady.
She looked at Liu Lan with interest, and Liu Lan was also looking at her curiously. She was also blonde and blue-eyed, and also a rich second-generation foreign country. The temperament of this young lady and Lina were completely different. Her brows were a little down, which made her eyes look a little arrogant, a little strong, and extremely aggressive. Liu Lan guessed that her temper might not be very good.
Bang introduced the two to each other, and the eldest lady was called maria miller.
He said to Maria: "Liu Lan is the Chinese character consultant in our studio, and this character is from her." Bang pointed to the calligraphy on the wall. Maria had just read it for a long time.
Liu Lan and Bang did not have formal cooperation, so she will accept the new title of "Chinese Character Consultant".
Maria smiled and said, "I have been looking forward to the patterns she designed for me since last night. Fortunately, I made an appointment for you six months in advance, so that I can catch up with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Here, no matter how bad the customers are, they must queue up to make an appointment honestly. If you have a high status, there will always be someone higher than you. Jason was able to go to the line yesterday and was exempted from the order. It was really a blessing for Liu Lan.
Bang and Maria exchanged greetings, but Liu Lan couldn't get into the conversation. She walked to the desk, started grinding ink again, preparing to write, and designed tattoo patterns for Wei Guoren. If she didn't write it out, it would be meaningless to just talk about the poems and people wouldn't understand them at all.
As the two talked, they disappeared from Liu Lan. When they turned their heads and saw that they had already started working. The girl was holding a brush and writing at her desk. Her focused expression and quiet posture made Maria and Bang stop talking involuntarily, for fear of disturbing her.
Maria wanted to know what she was writing, and walked over. When Liu Lan heard the movement, she raised her head and smiled at her, and said, "You wait a moment, I'll finish writing."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can write slowly," Maria's eyes stared at the black and white words on the table without blinking. On the surface, she had no expression on her face, but in fact she was super excited inside - such a pattern was what she wanted!
She was born in a wealthy family and grew up to this age, she rarely had the impulse to get anything, because her family’s money could buy 99% of the things in the world, luxury goods, jewelry, and luxury houses. She was tired of buying them, lacking interest, and having a boyfriend was the same. She hooked her fingers and the person came, without any challenge.
Until yesterday, I saw the tattoo photos on Jason Ins, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her boring heart suddenly felt a long-lost feeling of heartbeat. She likes tattoos. Since she was sixteen, she has added a pattern to her body every year. She had never thought about tattooing Chinese, but Jason changed her mind. It happened that during this period, she was entangled by her two ex-boyfriends and was so annoyed that she made such a request on a whim.
After Liu Lan finished writing, she stopped writing and took a step back to see the effect. Then she explained to Maria, "This is the Chinese character pattern I designed for you. It comes from the poem by Su Shi, a poet of the Song Dynasty in China. 'The willows blow on the branches are less and less, and there is no fragrant grass everywhere'," Liu Lan read this sentence in Chinese. Maria and Bang both listened to her explanation carefully. "Its original meaning is that the catkins on the willow branches are blown less and less by the wind, but it doesn't matter. In the near future, lush grass will grow everywhere. In China, this sentence is usually used to persuade the persistent couple to let go. I think it should meet your requirements."
Liu Lan felt that this sentence seemed elegant and implicit, but in fact it was simple and crude, and she refused thousands of miles away. She just didn't know if Wei Guoren could understand the mystery of Chinese. She had tried her best to explain and used all her English vocabulary.
Maria didn't say anything for a long time, probably because she was digesting Liu Lan's meaning, "That is to say, we women are all grass? Without me, there are still thousands of grass?"
"Uh..." Liu Lan felt that Maria's understanding was fine, "This is just a metaphor."
"Very good, I think it's very good. Grass is better than flowers. When flowers bloom, they fall. Grass is tenacious, day after day, year after year," Maria's idea is quite philosophical. "Thank you for designing the pattern for me, I like it very much."
Liu Lan originally thought Maria was very picky, but she was always in a mess. Unexpectedly, she was so tolerant that her first design job was completed so simply?
bang said, "I learned another lesson today. I will be able to master Chinese as well."
The atmosphere was lively and all three of them laughed.
"How do you calculate this price?" Maria asked Liu Lan, "Do I need to pay you the design fee separately?"
This is the most critical issue.
Liu Lan glanced at Bang. She wanted to say that the fee would be settled by Bang, and there was no need to give her money directly. Unexpectedly, Bang snatched her words, "Yes, she charges separately. You can refer to this for the pricing."
Bang sent Maria a few pictures on his mobile phone. After dinner last night, he was not idle. He found the transaction price of Liu Lan's calligraphy works at the China auction. "If you settle according to the number of Chinese characters, one word is about 4,000 US dollars. She wrote you 14 words, which is 56,000 US dollars."
Liu Lan was stunned. Why did Bang help her set the charging standards without hesitation?
One word is 4,000 US dollars, about 30,000 yuan. She thinks it is too high and there is a suspicion of cheating people.
But Maria actually said, "Oh my God, this is so cheap. I don't like fractions. I'll pay you $60,000."
Liu Lan: "..."
Is there a way to apply a piece of the head or is there such a way to apply it?
Maria is serious. She has taken out her card and is ready to swipe the card.
Liu Lan quickly said, "You are the first customer I received. I should thank you for your favorite words. I will give you a discount. You can pay me 30,000."
Chapter completed!
