Gu Shishi turned around and saw an arrogant-looking girl in a tutu dress standing beside Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian looked like she was watching a show. "Shishi, when you weren't here yesterday, Xiaomei encountered some difficulties teaching the students. Customers even complained."
The girl in the tutu dress raised her chin when she heard that.
"I saw on the Internet that your shop has watercolor and ink painting experts. I only came to take a look on the weekend. In the end, I bought 5,000 yuan for a one-on-one special teacher class. Their standards are so bad! "
Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows.
She had roughly glanced at the few class slots in the art studio.
One-on-one classes were the most expensive. A class with a dozen students was relatively cheap.
As for the so-called special-class teacher title, almost everyone in the shop had it.
Especially on weekends, when the flow of customers was the highest, there were not enough teachers. The students wanted the best teachers, but it was obviously impossible.
As far as she knew, even the store manager was not here yesterday.
Every two weeks, the store manager, Liu Li, had to stay at home to take care of the children.
"I heard that there will be an even better teacher today, so I'll give you another chance. If you still can't satisfy me, I'll refund the money! "
This tutu dress was quite sharp.
Ling Xiaomei lowered her head. She was too ashamed to show her face.
However, Zhao Xian did not mind blowing things up. "Shishi, during the last assessment, you were the best among us. Even Sister Jun and the others said that they can't compare to you. Hurry up and help Xiaomei. "
As she spoke, there was an obvious smile in her eyes.
Gu Shishi frowned.
These words were not good.
That day, the few old employees meant that they could not compare to her and Xiaomei in the assessment back then. They did not mean that their teaching and drawing skills were not as good as the two newbies.
Zhao Xian's words were clearly helping her pull aggro!
If she agreed and stood out to help now, wouldn't it mean that she, a newbie, did not take the old employees' standards seriously?
In workplace struggles, the most taboo was to step on others, especially when the new employees offended the old employees!
"Zhao Xian, don't joke around. In terms of qualifications and experience, how can I compare to Sister Jun and the others? Zhao Xian, on the other hand, your performance has always been the best. You're much better than us. "
Gu Shishi deflected the question with little effort.
Qi Xiajun and a few other old employees heard their conversation and also looked over.
Zhao Xian's face suddenly changed.
She had originally wanted to set a trap for Gu Shishi, but now she had gotten herself into trouble!
Gu Shishi was too cunning!
Zhao Xian could only force a smile. "I was first for only a month. How could I be as good as the seniors? Shishi, let's talk about the main topic. Aren't you going to help Xiaomei? The customer is God. Miss Shen has been waiting for a long time. "
Gu Shishi sneered inwardly.
She walked past Zhao Xian and said, "Of course we have to solve the problem."
She held Ling Xiaomei's hand and gestured for her to come along.
Gu Shishi smiled apologetically as she walked up to the woman with the puff-peng.
"Dear guest, I'm very sorry. I was supposed to be on duty yesterday. You bought the class, so I should be the teacher assigned to you. "
"But something came up at the last minute at home, so I had to ask my colleague to take my place for a day. So let me serve you today. What do you think? My class today can be treated as a trial class and be given to you as a gift. "
If it was treated as a trial class, the shop would lose one class's income.
But she could report to the shop manager. If it didn't work, she could use her salary to make up for it.
"You? Gu Shishi? "
The woman with the puff-peng glanced at the name tag on her chest and grinned.
"Alright, then you'll be the one teaching today."
Zhao Xian's expression instantly froze!
Gu Shishi solved the problem with just one sentence!
Even if she stepped forward to take on the responsibility, she wouldn't give the other colleagues a bad impression that she was trying to show off her skills. Because she was right. This was her customer.
Ling Xiaomei was on a normal day off yesterday.
A few of his old colleagues in the art studio agreed with him when they heard this.
"Yes, Shishi is a very good lecturer here."
"Xiaomei isn't good at ink painting. Shishi, I'll have to trouble you then."
The woman with the puff-peng had a bad temper and liked to nitpick.
She was the type of customer who was the most difficult to serve.
Gu Shishi gave them face, so they naturally didn't want to get involved.
Ling Xiaomei, on the other hand, was a little ashamed as she followed Gu Shishi.
She squeezed her hand softly.
"Be careful."
Gu Shishi nodded.
The woman with the puff-peng directly chose the center of the studio.
As soon as she sat down, she said, "I want to learn how to paint three things today."
She looked at Gu Shishi provocatively. "The first is water. The second is clouds. The third is wind! You can only use black and white. Also, you can't draw ripples or reflections on water. You can't draw lines on clouds and wind. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the old employees beside her changed.
Even Ling Xiaomei raised her head and gritted her teeth. "You only wanted me to draw water yesterday."
"Yes, but didn't you change to a better teacher?"
The woman with the puff-peng chuckled and stroked her bright red nails.
"Naturally, I told you all the requirements."
"You … are clearly making things difficult for me!"
Ling Xiaomei was usually soft, but at this moment, she was a little flustered and exasperated.
Water and wind were colorless and tasteless things in nature.
And clouds only appeared clear against the blue sky. If it was a black and white ink painting, the expression method would be severely limited.
Not to mention, she had also made an additional request.
If she couldn't draw lines, waves, and clouds, it would be very difficult to express.
"Making things difficult? I paid five thousand yuan just to make things difficult for you? "
The woman with the puff-peng sneered.
"What's in it for me? Do I have nothing better to do? Is this the attitude of your shop towards customers? You don't have the ability to draw, so you say that I'm making things difficult for you? "
"You …"
Ling Xiaomei clenched her fists angrily and was about to rush forward.
However, Gu Shishi reached out and stopped her.
"Xiaomei, don't be rash. Sit down first."
"I can solve your problem."
Gu Shishi said calmly.
However, when she looked at the woman with the puff-peng, her eyes flashed.
She was dressed in designer clothes.
Originally, she didn't have much of an understanding of these worldly things.
However, now that she had recharged her health bar, she was very familiar with the brands in the wardrobe.
This woman with the puff-peng was dressed in Chanel. She was not an ordinary girl.
Gu Shishi's expression was a little cold.
Was it that group of people who were causing trouble again?
She dragged a stool in front of the drawing board and sat down.
He chose a relatively clean brush and washed it with clean water.
Then, she dipped it in some black ink.
"Wind, clouds, water."
"This is not a good problem for you."
Gu Shishi narrowed her eyes.
The woman with the puff-peng sneered. "Even you can't do it, right?"
Water was colorless and formless. Wind and clouds had no physical form. They could not be touched.
"The realm of nature is ever-changing. There is no possibility of exhaustion. It's not something that you, who has no foundation, should put in a lot of effort. "
Gu Shishi did not even raise her eyebrows.
However, she emphasized the last word.
The woman with the puff-peng's expression immediately turned ugly.
However, Gu Shishi's brush had already begun to sketch in the center of the drawing board.
Horizontally and vertically, a black line slid out as if it was measured with a ruler.
The woman with the puff-peng immediately laughed mockingly.
"I can learn whatever I want to learn! If I only want to learn how to draw lines, why would I find such an expensive course?! "
Gu Shishi did not speak. She pretended not to hear her.
Her brush did not stop moving.
Ling Xiaomei stood at the side and clenched her fists. "Please be quiet."
"Ha, do you have the right to speak?"
Ling Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned red. Thinking that she was about to resign and did not care about the consequences, she stood up with a sullen face!
However, before she could walk over, she heard Gu Shishi's voice.
"Meimei, help me pour some water ~"
Her movements stopped abruptly.
"Ah, okay."
She poured the water from the kettle into the empty color tray. She could not help but look at Gu Shishi's drawing board curiously.
She was an art student, but she was mainly good at Western painting methods. She could still grasp the wind painting method. After all, the wind made the leaves move.
However, she found it very difficult to draw water and clouds without drawing lines or painting colors.
Yesterday in class, she was stumped by the students for a moment. After being ridiculed, she was so nervous that she did not think of how to draw.
It was not until last night when she was lying in bed that she thought of some tricks, such as drawing a boat.
She was very curious about how Gu Shishi would solve it.
"Fine brushwork!"
Ling Xiaomei was shocked when she turned around.
When she saw Gu Shishi drawing lines, she also thought that she was going to teach the pompous girl the basics of drawing lines.
However, she did not expect that an antique city gate tower would appear on the drawing board while she was pouring water.
The city gate tower sat on a brick platform. The platform was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The ridge of the building was decorated with dragon heads and beast mouths. There were three layers of pillars on each side, and there were doors on all four sides. There were seven rooms on each side.
At a glance, one could tell that it was an imposing and magnificent sight!
"This is … Zhengyang Gate?"
Ling Xiaomei, a native of the north, could not help but exclaim when she saw the stone arch bridge that Gu Shishi had drawn.
The pompous girl, who had been taunting since she entered the art room, also looked a little uneasy at this moment.
Gu Shishi's fine brushwork was shocking even in the eyes of those who did not know the art.
She drew too quickly. There was no hesitation in every line. It was as if she was copying a picture of a building.
The pompous girl did not leave halfway like Ling Xiaomei. She watched the whole process and saw almost every stroke of Gu Shishi's Chuchu clearly.
It was amazing!
It was even more amazing than a sketch!
"But … this is not what I want …"
She was stubborn!
However, in the next second, her voice stopped, as if she was being strangled.
After Gu Shishi finished drawing the bridge arch in the middle, she took the plate of clear water from Ling Xiaomei's hand.
She decisively soaked the brush in the water. After it was full of water, she raised the brush and swept it over the bridge.
Instantly, the water stains blurred. The originally clear black ink turned into mist, and the lines faded away.
Vaguely, the people on the bridge arch seemed to be looking at flowers in the mist. They could not see the whole picture.
"Clouds!"
Ling Xiaomei could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is a view from afar. The view is from the high mountains in the distance! The view from the top to the bottom is blocked by clouds. We can't see the royal carriage on the bridge clearly. "
Gu Shishi smiled. "Yes."
The pompous girl stared. How could it be like this?
She originally thought that Gu Shishi knew how to draw mountains and rivers. She even thought of how to mock her.
"What about the wind? Why didn't it blow the clouds away? "
She gritted her teeth.
Gu Shishi threw the brush aside. "I'm not done yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
She changed the brush and dipped it in the ink again. Then, she drew two symmetrical flagpoles under the city wall surrounded by mist.
The flagpoles were straight, and the flag fluttered in the wind. There was a hint of gentleness in the masculine lines.
Ling Xiaomei's eyes lit up!
"Isn't the wind here?"
She retorted without holding back.
"Then, then what about the water? From this perspective, there can't be water in the city! "
The pompous girl gritted her teeth.
Gu Shishi smiled. She moved the brush and used the ink to draw out the roof tiles of the city gate tower. However, there was a lot of white space between the tiles.
Then, she added the two ancient buildings, the arrow tower and the barbican. She drew the layers of tiles in detail. The lines occasionally twisted and bent … forming dense small puddles …
Not long after, the pompous girl's face was full of colors.
Ling Xiaomei had transformed into a fangirl. She looked at Gu Shishi with starry eyes full of worship and admiration.
"The raindrops fell on the city gate tower and turned into puddles."
"This is water!"
Gu Shishi put away the brush and nodded.
"Meimei, you can also think of these little tricks if you think about it carefully. It's just that you don't have time to think about it. Otherwise, you can also draw it. "
Ling Xiaomei was stunned. She only came back to her senses after a while.
Yes, she didn't draw as well as Gu Shishi. However, she could also draw the general idea.
It was just that a drawing would take a longer time. From conception to completion, it would definitely take more than the time of a lesson.
Gu Shishi handed the brush to her. "Since I was 13 years old, Master has given me different questions every day. I have to draw hundreds of them every year. These compositions have long been imprinted in my mind. "
Ling Xiaomei widened her eyes. "13 years old?"
Gu Shishi nodded. "So, you can also do it. As long as you want to and put in the time."
Ling Xiaomei bit her lip.
The next moment, Gu Shishi looked at the pompous girl beside her with a complicated expression.
"I've finished drawing and answered your question, right?"
She narrowed her eyes.
"But this lesson won't benefit you at all. It will only harm you."
"There are thousands of changes in water, but you haven't even grasped the basics. It's just a waste of time."
The pompous girl gritted her teeth. "I like it. I'm paying. Do you have a problem with that?!"
"No." Gu Shishi put away the drawing paper. "Thank you for your support. Meimei, we should be able to get a lot of commission for the $5,000 top-up class, right? "
Ling Xiaomei immediately nodded like a fangirl.
"Not bad. Then let's have a good lunch ~"
Gu Shishi expressed her satisfaction.
The pompous girl: "…"
