"Uh, are you sure this is okay?"
The person who spoke in a trembling voice was none other than Chen Kexin.
At this moment, she was sitting in the Huo family's chauffeur's car.
The legend that one would be unlucky if they got close to the eldest brother of the Huo family was enough to make her tremble in fear.
However, she couldn't care less about being afraid.
Because she was already shocked by Gu Shishi's outfit.
In order not to be recognized by her grandmother, Gu Shishi was fully dressed.
Mask, hat, sunglasses.
She even wore a set of fifteen-fourteen-year-old girl's clothes from somewhere.
She wore a cotton blue long-sleeved cheongsam with buttons on the top and a black skirt that reached her ankles.
Gu Shishi also let her long, straight black hair down.
She simply … looked like a beauty from the Republic of China.
When Chen Kexin first saw her today, he thought that he had become dizzy from reading novels about the Republic of China last night …
But —
"Didn't you say that your grandmother thinks I'm sixty years old?"
Gu Shishi calculated her age.
Chen Kexin: "…"
She was exaggerating!
Even her grandmother wouldn't dress like this!
Gu Shishi was in a good mood.
She felt that she had returned to her original self today.
The most beautiful thing was to wear an ancient costume, burn an incense, and hold a brush to draw an antique ink painting.
Although it wasn't an ancient costume and wasn't as beautiful as a traditional Chinese costume, it was still passable.
"I wanted to wear a traditional Chinese costume, but I thought about it and felt that it was a little exaggerated."
Gu Shishi felt that it was a pity when she said this.
"Also, I was a little late on Taobao and didn't get the goods in time."
Chen Kexin's eyes lit up. "You like traditional Chinese costumes?"
She liked it too!
Thinking about it, Gu Shishi was a master of traditional Chinese painting. She should like ancient styles more than her.
Gu Shishi nodded and didn't say much.
She was holding her phone and thinking about how many days it had been since she last received a red packet from the big boss.
The big boss had been leaving early and returning late these few days. She hadn't seen him.
After a while, would they become distant?
Even if they were good friends, they would be speechless and a little awkward when they suddenly met after not seeing each other for a long time.
What about the big boss?
Would he forget about her after seeing her in a few days?
Gu Shishi held her phone and sat upright in the backseat of the car.
After thinking about it, he was still worried and sent a WeChat message over.
Mr. Huo, have you had your breakfast yet? Don't go hungry ~]
[Mr. Huo, are you busy with work? Then I won't disturb you anymore. Feel free to look for me if you need anything ~]
Brace yourself!
After Gu Shishi finished editing, she still felt that it wasn't sincere enough.
She didn't express her sincere intention of asking for a red packet.
After thinking for a while, she took out the mini tablet from her bag (one of the Thanksgiving gifts) and seriously used an Apple Pencil to draw a silly little girl with red cheeks and a red packet on her back.
Her anime-like eyes were filled with twinkling stars.
There was a line of internet celebrity emojis attached.
[Papa, give me another 20 yuan!]
Gu Shishi's lips curled up as she continued to draw.
He saved it as an emoji and sent it to Huo Jinyao.
Roar!
Ke Ke Ai Ai, that's her!
She would make a move when it was time.
Previously, the system had been dropping bombs all of a sudden. Who knew if it would suddenly send a notification that 'the male owner hasn't been home for a long time and his favorability has decreased'?
Gu Shishi had always been cautious and conservative about her life and cherished it very much.
She decided not to slack off and take the initiative to attack!
Even if she couldn't make Huo Jinyao like her, she would annoy him to death!
She wouldn't become distant from him one day.
While she was writing, Chen Kexin was watching her in a daze.
As a rich young lady who didn't care about her pocket money, the Apple Pencil, iPad Pro, and the latest iPhone were all a piece of cake. Chen Kexin had already played with it.
This condenser pen could be used to draw directly on the iPad. Its usage and smoothness were almost comparable to an ordinary drawing tablet.
She had bought it and played with it before.
However, she gave up after a few days. She could only draw at the level of a matchstick figure.
With such terrible drawing skills, it didn't matter what she used to draw!
But today, when she looked at Gu Shishi, she was simply … godly!
She drew a cute emoji in just a few strokes!
It looked cuter than her current inventory.
"Boss, can you send this emoji to me? I'll keep it ~ ~ "
Chen Kexin couldn't help but rub her hands.
Who wouldn't send an emoji when chatting with her best friend?
Moreover, when she flirted with her boyfriend, she would send an emoji of her love.
Not to mention, her grandmother also liked this. She was a maniac who collected emoji. From time to time, she would ask her for new ones and flood the elderly group chat.
"Hmm? You like this? "
Gu Shishi was stunned.
But then she shook her head.
"This isn't for sale."
Chen Kexin really wanted to cry. In the past, she had said that she only had a transaction with Gu Shishi and that it was just a business transaction.
At the critical moment, their friendship wasn't enough!
"If you want, I can draw another one for you."
However, Gu Shishi's next sentence came very quickly.
"I can't give it to you for my own use."
This was specially used to coax the men in the family.
Chen Kexin's eyes lit up. "Draw another one for me? Will it be too troublesome? I can also pay for it. "
After saying that, she wished she could hit herself.
Why was it related to money again? Could they still cultivate friendship?
However, Gu Shishi didn't care about this one or two yuan.
It was just drawing a small emoji. To her, it was just like resting and having fun.
"What kind of one do you want?"
Chen Kexin's eyes lit up. "Do you have any cute baby dragons? I'm a dragon, and my grandmother is a rabbit."
Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows.
Before they reached the Chen family, she had drawn a bunch of emojis.
Bunny drinking milk tea, Bunny eating noodles, Bunny Ge You paralyzed, Bunny keeping a diary, Bunny wearing reading glasses, Bunny taking care of a child …
This was based on the name 'Happy Fat Otaku' and the daily life that Old Madam Chen liked.
As for Chen Kexin, Gu Shishi glanced at her twice.
She drew a bunch of emojis that were commonly used by internet celebrities.
There were all kinds of fat baby dragons with various expressions, such as acting coquettishly, acting cute, and rolling around.
A set of twelve emojis each.
"That's it for now."
Gu Shishi flicked her wrist.
The Apple capacitor pen was quite heavy. Her hands were sore after using it too much.
Chen Kexin was already overjoyed.
[Beep! Chen Kexin's favorability has increased!]
When she reached the Chen family, she had already posted it on her WeChat Moments and a bunch of chat groups.
[Meow Meow: This is my unique emoji. Don't steal it. I'll just let you guys have a look.]
Soon, a bunch of people commented below.
'Cute, please.'
'I've already taken her away.'
'I'll borrow it, goodbye.'
There were all kinds of comments.
The door of the Chen family was already in front of them. Chen Kexin did not have time to chat with these good friends.
She tidied her bangs and personally led Gu Shishi out of the car respectfully.
After less than an hour's drive, Gu Shishi's status in her eyes had risen by another level.
Not only was her standard high, but she was also very down-to-earth!
Look at this emoji. Who would have thought that it was drawn by a Chinese artist?
Chen Kexin happily led her in. "Don't worry. Even if my grandmother knows your identity, she will definitely keep it a secret."
Gu Shishi chuckled.
Whether it was a secret or not was not the main point.
It was just that, was the painting of a 60-year-old artist more valuable than the painting of a young lady in her early twenties?
Almost everyone knew the answer to this question.
This time, she did not come here to lose money, but to lose money.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she did not lack money anyway. Now, as long as she asked Aunt Zheng, she could get almost anything she wanted.
Even if she did not ask, she would eat and eat high-end goods.
Her only chance to spend money was to buy some painting tools for herself and some gifts for the big boss.
Alright!
Don't panic!
Gu Shishi swaggered behind Chen Kexin.
The car was parked directly at the entrance of the villa. Old Madam Chen was waiting in the hall.
When she saw her granddaughter coming down with someone, the old lady happily went up to them.
But after taking two or three steps, she narrowed her old but spirited eyes.
"This is … the master's disciple?"
She would not be surprised even if the master came in a Chinese tunic suit.
What was a master's disciple wearing a Chinese suit?!
When Chen Kexin heard this, he almost knelt down in front of her.
"Grandma, this is the ink painting."
Silence.
The air suddenly became quiet.
It was silent.
It was not until Gu Shishi felt awkward and coughed that Old Madam Chen came back to her senses.
The master was so young?
Old Madam Chen widened her eyes.
"Ah, look at me … Come in and have a seat. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat. It's autumn now and the weather is dry."
Old Madam Chen was used to socializing.
After the surprise, she quickly regained her senses and greeted them politely.
"No need."
Gu Shishi waved her hand.
"I'll go straight to work. I have to go home early."
Even though Old Madam Chen knew that she was young, she was still stunned.
Looking at her figure, hands, and black hair, she thought that she might have taken good care of herself. She was probably in her thirties or forties.
However, she did not expect the voice to be so young. She could not be more than thirty years old. The voice also sounded vaguely … familiar?
But since the master had spoken, she did not think too much about it.
"Okay, please follow me."
The Chen family's villa was not smaller than Big Boss Huo's house.
From the main villa, they got into the golf cart and drove through a few small roads before arriving at their destination.
The place where the pottery was made and burned was a small room.
Old Madam Chen personally led the way.
She did not notice the contempt on the master's face at all. Instead, she asked solemnly and carefully.
"Master, can we watch from the side?"
Gu Shishi nodded.
She was quite satisfied with the Chen family's place.
On the tool table, brushes, ink, and pottery were all set.
There weren't many bowls and plates that she needed to draw. At most, there were five small bowls and two pottery plates.
It didn't take much time.
Gu Shishi instantly felt that Old Madam Chen was quite smart.
If she had to make a dozen or twenty bowls in one go, she might really be so tired that she would fall out.
And now, the number was just right.
Moreover, it was just a pottery bowl for the child. She didn't need inspiration.
She turned on an immersive special effect and picked up the brush.
Not long after, Old Madam Chen on the left and Chen Kexin on the right both had infatuated expressions on their faces.
There was no other reason.
It was just that watching Gu Shishi draw was too pleasing to the eye!
Her brushes were like dragons and snakes. She didn't even need to write them down in a draft. She looked unrestrained, but her strokes were calm.
With just two or three strokes, she outlined a round Kung Fu panda. Then, it became a cute ink Pikachu. Then, it became a dignified Nezha. Finally, it was Monkey Sun who jumped out of a stone …
She didn't spend as much time painting as she did on the road!
However, no one could say that she didn't put in effort into this painting.
The panda was charmingly naive and simple.
Pikachu was extremely cute. Its soft body was almost drawn with two strokes.
And Nezha was stepping on wind fire wheels and wearing a bright red silk. His eyes were extraordinary, but his hands and feet were as fat as lotus roots. He was cute!
Monkey Sun was even more so. His domineering and unruly aura appeared at the bottom of the bowl in a second!
"Amazing."
Chen Kexin felt that at this moment, she was no different from the audience who only knew how to shout 666 in the live broadcast room.
However, she looked at her grandmother, who knew how to appreciate art, expectantly.
She was looking forward to her grandmother's high-level comments.
However —
Old Madam Chen: "666!"
Chen Kexin: "…"
