Lu Yi Yun's life was no different from before. Day after day, she accepted orders, drew illustrations, submitted manuscripts, reworked, submitted manuscripts again, received money, and so on.
There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and no one knew the years.
Because she had no distractions and almost no external interference, even Lu Yi Yun herself didn't notice that her drawing skills were improving day by day. The price of a single illustration had increased from 800 yuan at the beginning to 1,200 yuan at the current minimum. She didn't need to advertise herself anymore, and people had already come to her door. The number of times she needed to rework was also decreasing.
In order to save money and make ends meet, she had to accept at least five illustration orders every month. Because of the increased speed of drawing and the reduced rework, she had slightly more free time than before.
In her free time, she still updated her comics on Weibo, but still, not many people read them. Drawing skills could be improved by hard work, but making up stories required a certain degree of talent, and not all stories were suitable to be expressed in the form of comics.
Lu Yi Yun was not discouraged, nor did she give up. She had survived more difficult days than now, so what else couldn't she overcome?
With the money she earned, she first upgraded her computer and drawing board, and changed to a professional monitor with higher color accuracy. To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools. In the past, she was always asked to rework, and one of the reasons was that her original monitor was too lousy. She thought it was green, but the buyer said it was blue. Because of this, she secretly cried, thinking that the buyer was deliberately bullying the newcomer. Until she changed the monitor, she found out that it was really blue.
Professional monitors were very expensive, but since she planned to survive in this industry, a professional monitor was a must.
Then she bought a refrigerator online, so that she didn't have to buy vegetables and meat every day, and it saved time. Then she bought an electric heater. Most residences in Binhai City didn't have heating, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Winter was not too far away.
This empty rental house was becoming more and more like home.
She was still watching Xiao Xue's outdoor live broadcast. She never missed a single episode. It had already become a part of her life.
From Snowy's live broadcast, she knew that the Amazing Fate Pet Shop was going to start a membership system, and members would get discounts for bathing cats and buying cat food.
Her Jasmine was a long-haired cat. When Zhang Zian went to take a bath for the first time, he said that it was a Chinchilla strand, so the frequency of her bathing was higher than that of a short-haired cat. After saving enough money, she immediately went to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop to apply for a membership without any hesitation.
Zhang Zian didn't know what she was thinking, but he was more than happy to have someone open a membership for him.
"Our store is indeed going to launch a membership system, but it's still in the preparatory stage. You can make a reservation now. If I'm not wrong, you can get one of the top ten membership cards if you make a reservation now," Zhang Zian recommended attentively.
"Then I'll reserve one." Lu Yi Yun nodded immediately.
"…"
She had agreed so quickly that the speech that Zhang Zian had prepared was completely useless. He was about to suffer from internal injuries. Why was this girl so different from Zhao Qi?
It took him a long time to recover. "Since the membership system has just been launched, it's currently in the discount stage. You can reserve a membership as long as you top up 1,000 yuan."
"Huh?" Lu Yi Yun was stunned. "1000? I thought I needed more, or else I would have come a few days earlier. "
Zhang Zian was a little annoyed. Why didn't this girl play by the rules? Did she think that 1,000 yuan was too little? Her clothes were so ordinary. Was she actually a hidden nouveau riche?
He took out the registration book and pen and said, "Okay, please register your name and leave your phone number or WeChat ID. I'll notify you when the membership system is officially launched."
Lu Yi Yun wrote down her name and phone number.
Zhang Zian looked at her from the side and couldn't help but compliment her sincerely, "Lu Yi Yun, right? Your handwriting is so beautiful! "This compliment was not mixed with any exaggeration.
Lu Yi Yun was shocked. The tip of her pen trembled, and the last digit of the number "6" was written in an odd way.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll write it again! "She was flustered and hurriedly apologized.
How long had it been since she had been praised by others?
Her parents had broken off their relationship with her, and they hadn't praised her for a long time. It had been so long that she had forgotten when they had last praised her. Was it when she won her first painting competition in elementary school?
The clients who placed orders would not praise her. It was just a simple business transaction. You paid, and I drew. That was all. Not only was there no praise, but it was also common to maliciously urge her to finish her work and ask for rework. Even after the order was completed, the clients would only confirm the payment after she repeatedly reminded them …
The shop assistants in the neighborhood supermarket would not praise her.
The couriers in charge of delivery at the e-commerce store would not praise her.
Even when she paid the rent in advance, the landlord would not praise her.
She usually only interacted with these people. She never dreamed that a long-lost compliment would appear at this time, in this pet shop that she had only been to once.
A good word warms people three winters, but a bad word hurts people's backs.
Zhang Zian thought that he had just said a very ordinary sentence, and it was the truth. However, he saw Lu Yi Yun holding the pen and suddenly crying. Her tears fell on the registration book.
What the hell!
Why did she start to cry as she spoke?
He panicked all of a sudden!
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Are you not feeling well? Do you need me to take you to the hospital? "Zhang Zian was sweating and asked helplessly.
However, the more he asked, the louder Lu Yi Yun cried.
"Is … is it because you think 1,000 yuan is too expensive? 500 yuan is fine too! No, today … today is an auspicious day. It's free! Can I give you a free membership? Don't cry! "
Zhang Zian didn't know how to persuade her. He raised his head and looked around for help, but he happened to meet Fina's eyes. Fina's eyes were no longer disdainful. It was clearly saying, "Why are you still alive?
I really didn't make her cry! "
Zhang Zian beat his chest and stamped his feet, but he had no one to turn to.
It was obvious that he and Lu Yi Yun were the only two humans in the shop. He was definitely going to be the scapegoat!
It was over. Zhang Zian felt that he was in big trouble. Even the end of the world was nothing more than this.
Right!
As a single dog, at this time, he had to ask for advice from the elders on how to comfort a crying girl!
He quickly looked at Old Time Tea, hoping that Old Time Tea could put the country and the people aside and save him from the abyss of suffering.
However, Old Time Tea yawned and said to himself, "I didn't sleep last night. Let's catch up on sleep." Then it took off its bamboo hat, lay on the electric blanket, stretched, and began to slightly snore.
Damn, no one can be relied on at this critical moment!
He quickly picked up his phone, entered the Wang Haige forum, and posted a post in the chat zone.
The Hottie Store Manager: "Help! What can I do if I make a girl cry? I'm waiting online, it's urgent! "
