Gu Shishi looked up and saw a girl with long wavy hair sitting at the entrance of the studio.
She had a small black Armani bag and a Tiffany diamond key pendant on her collarbone. She was looking at Gu Shishi and Ling Xiaomei mockingly.
She was one of the new teachers in the studio, Zhao Xian.
Like them, she had just graduated and was still on probation.
Now, she was facing the problem of being eliminated or staying.
However, Zhao Xian was obviously very confident.
She seemed to have just arrived and was chatting with the store manager, Liu Li. She said something that made the store manager giggle.
At this moment, she was looking at Gu Shishi with interest.
"Shishi, I thought you were on vacation and preparing for today's recruitment test. After all, your performance was the worst. I didn't expect you to go shopping for clothes."
Zhao Xian's eyes were filled with a hint of a contemptuous smile.
"Let me guess, is this the East Street where the fake goods are said to be cheap and realistic?"
"Haha, dressing like this will increase your confidence in the test!"
Gu Shishi was holding the painting apron that matched her nameplate.
When he heard her sarcastic words, he couldn't help but pause his actions.
Gu Shishi was originally at the bottom of the list of new employees.
Whether it was her painting skills or her performance.
She was the most likely to be eliminated!
"Xiaoxian, why are you talking about this? Shishi is pretty and looks good in anything. "
Ling Xiaomei sensed that something was wrong and immediately tried to smooth things over. She pulled Gu Shishi aside and asked her not to fight.
Arguing in front of the store manager would definitely leave a bad impression.
Moreover, the other teachers in the studio were also there.
Today, all the probationary employees would be assessed.
Several old employees wanted to discuss with the store manager whether they should stay or leave.
Based on their performance in the past three months and today's impromptu test, the final result would be reported to the boss.
Zhao Xian chuckled, but continued to press on.
"Meimei, I don't think it's a big deal. But after all, our studio is in the most popular financial and business center. Many white-collar workers and stay-at-home wives are our clients. So many elites bring their children here on weekends. "
"What if they find out that our teachers are wearing fake goods and leave a bad impression?"
"Shishi, I'm not targeting you. It's just for the sake of everyone and for the sake of having more customers in the studio. What do you think? "
She seemed to be deep in thought, as if she was particularly worried about the future of the studio.
He also respected Gu Shishi and wanted to know her opinion.
His words sounded dignified, but he was clearly digging a hole for Gu Shishi!
The store manager, Liu Li, looked at Gu Shishi's clothes with disapproval.
"There are work aprons in the shop, so there's no need to dress like this. You can do whatever you want when you're resting, but pay attention when you're working. After all, we're teaching children."
She was completely on Zhao Xian's side!
As for the other old employees in the studio, many of them were nodding their heads and sucking up to Liu Li.
However, Gu Shishi lowered her head and looked at the double-c logo on her T-shirt.
Is it a fake?
No one knew better than her the price of each piece of clothing.
"I'm a straightforward person. Shishi, are you angry with me?"
Zhao Xian smiled.
However, her gaze was filled with a sense of superiority. She even reached out and brushed the Tiffany diamond key around her neck, feeling a little smug.
"I don't mean to look down on you …"
However, she sneered. Halfway through her sentence.
However, she was interrupted by Gu Shishi.
"This shirt is 5600 yuan, and the skirt is 18,000 yuan."
Gu Shishi pinched the corner of her shirt with an extremely complicated expression.
She looked at the system again just now.
The numbers were very accurate.
Zhao Xian's voice suddenly stopped.
However, her gaze was filled with mockery very quickly.
"It's so expensive. Didn't you spend all your salary savings?"
During their probation period, their monthly salary was only 4,000 yuan.
Gu Shishi's family background was ordinary. It could be seen from her usual clothes.
Now, she had suddenly changed her gun and bought a set of clothes that cost more than 20,000 yuan?
Liar!
Zhao Xian didn't even need to reason.
"No, someone bought it for me."
Gu Shishi was very honest.
Zhao Xian was stunned. "Someone?"
Ling Xiaomei exclaimed. Even the store manager and the old employees looked over in surprise.
"Are you serious? Shishi, is that your boyfriend? I didn't hear that you were in a relationship. "
"Your boyfriend is so rich. What's his background? He's hiding it from us! "
Most of the women in the studio loved to gossip.
It wasn't time to go to work. Now, they even forgot about the probation period assessment.
A man who was rich enough and willing to buy branded clothes for girls. Just hearing about it made the women's blood boil.
Zhao Xian looked at Gu Shishi's beautiful face and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She had just found a rich boyfriend last month and felt very superior. However, in just a few days, Gu Shishi had also successfully found one?!
"Nothing. It's just an engagement set up by my family."
Gu Shishi spread her hands and confessed.
Paper couldn't wrap fire.
She went to work every day and interacted with people. One day, the fact that she was engaged and living in the man's house would be exposed.
Instead of being discovered, it was better to say it directly so that people would not slander her in the future. For example, people like Zhao Xian, who had nothing to do with her.
"Engagement?"
Zhao Xian was shocked. However, the jealousy in her eyes disappeared.
How could an ordinary family have an engagement with a rich man?
She almost laughed out loud.
Then, this rich man was either married twice or old and ugly, right?
Otherwise, it was Gu Shishi's fabrication!
"Wow, isn't that your fiancé?!"
Ling Xiaomei, who was not very scheming, was envious.
"Do you have a photo? Show us the real person!"
"Uh … no."
Gu Shishi didn't even get the big boss's WeChat, let alone a photo.
"Then, will he pick you up from work? We want to watch! "
The senior employees also started to clamor.
"G, in the future … Erm, do you want to take the assessment first?"
The big boss could pick her up from work?
It was good enough that he didn't destroy her!
Zhao Xian saw Gu Shishi's evasive actions.
She found it funny. Just as she was about to expose her, the store manager, Liu Li, stopped her.
Liu Li looked at the time and clapped her hands. "Okay, let's talk later during lunch break. The class starts at 10. Now, let's take the assessment first. "
Since she had spoken, everyone stopped fooling around.
"After three months of practice, let's see how much you've grown."
"Today, we'll use the customer's favorite flowers and scenery as the topic. Each of you will draw a small piece and have a trial lesson."
"It's targeted at students with zero foundation."
Liu Li explained the topic.
A few senior employees sat down in the classroom and pretended to be the students.
"Then I'll go first."
Zhao Xian did not decline.
Being the first to go first would leave the most impression.
A teacher needed to be enthusiastic and proactive.
Liu Li nodded.
Ling Xiaomei was not a competitive person.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, had never taught anyone with zero foundation before, so she decided to observe the situation first.
"Watercolor is a painting method that uses water to mix with transparent paint …"
Zhao Xian's words were clear and logical.
"I'll draw a lotus flower first and introduce the different techniques to everyone."
Liu Li and the senior employees nodded in agreement.
Zhao Xian spoke clearly and clearly, and the use of her pen was also very skilled.
In less than ten minutes, her hand-drawn summer lotus flower was completed.
Four or five twin lotuses on one stem were pink and tender. They contrasted well with the emerald green lotus leaves. It was a simple beginner's painting.
It was very suitable for newcomers to learn.
"Thank you, everyone."
Zhao Xian finished quickly and left the main drawing board. Then, she looked at Gu Shishi provocatively.
"Next, Shishi, do you want to go first? I haven't used up all the paper here. You can continue to use the blank space. "
Immediately after, she drew on a piece of paper. Her painting skills were much better than Gu Shishi's!
When she was in the Academy of Fine Arts, Gu Shishi was a loser. She was completely different from a student with good grades like her!
When there was a comparison, it hurt even more!
If an employee had to be eliminated, it had to be Gu Shishi!
Zhao Xian smiled and handed the brush to Gu Shishi. He did not allow her to refuse and waited for her to make a fool of herself.
"Okay."
Gu Shishi took the brush graciously.
Watercolor painting was slightly similar to traditional Chinese ink painting.
She had tried watercolor painting before. Now that she saw how Zhao Xian handled it again, she was not afraid.
Moreover, she had been practicing painting for twenty years. She could tell at a glance that Zhao Xian was still lacking.
These few petals seemed complete, but the painting style was monotonous and lacked spirituality. The curvature of the lotus leaves, the texture of the petals, and the texture of the petals were unnatural and lacked vitality.
She took the brush and stood up calmly.
"Good luck."
Ling Xiaomei looked at Gu Shishi worriedly.
Gu Shishi gave her a reassuring expression.
She looked at the tip of the brush and casually smeared it on the absorbent paper on the table. She wiped away most of the light pink color on the brush.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
It had only been a few days since she came back to life, but it felt like a lifetime.
But the moment she held the brush, that familiar feeling came back instantly!
Zhao Xian watched her the whole time. When he saw her closing her eyes, he felt even more confident that he had victory in his hands.
"Ha, Shishi, are you nervous? Take it easy …"
But before she could say the word 'take it easy', it was stuck in her throat.
She was standing closest to Gu Shishi and could see her movements at a glance.
She smoothly lifted the tip of the brush and dipped it into a puddle of clear water like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Then, she lightly dyed it in the middle of the peach-pink color.
This series of movements actually had some elegance that was not usually seen, as well as an indescribable sense of beauty.
Her brush moved twice on the color palette to neutralize the colors. Then, she lifted her right wrist and moved from bottom to top.
With a lift and a pull, she added a smooth stroke in a spurt of energy!
In just two seconds, a budding pink flower bud appeared on the card. It looked like it was swaying in the wind!
The color of the petals was full and peach-colored. The center of the flower bud was slightly dyed with clear water, making the belly of the flower look slightly white and round.
Gu Shishi's brush strokes were very unrestrained, but each stroke created a lotus flower. She actually completed it in one breath!
Zhao Xian's mouth opened. In a few breaths, her face turned red!
She had drawn the top right corner of the card, and Gu Shishi had added the bottom left corner.
Looking at it now, the contrast between the two was very obvious.
Her hand-painted lotus flowers looked pretty good, but in comparison, they looked like the printed effect of a fifty cent print!
Gu Shishi's lotus flowers, on the other hand, were very lifelike and lively. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might have believed that the store manager had drawn it!
How could it be!?
Zhao Xian was stunned.
Did Gu Shishi eat some kind of tonic pill after taking a few days off? Her drawing skills were so good!?
How could it be!?
At the same time, Gu Shishi's explanation was very lively. "The angle and strength of the brush strokes are different, resulting in different painting effects. For example, like this …"
As she spoke, she didn't stop. Another lotus leaf seemed to flutter in the wind, as if it was about to jump out of the paper!
"Watercolor emphasizes on highlighting light and shadow through the intensity of the color. Through the thickness and thinness of the brush strokes, the differences between the flower bud and the flower bone are created …"
The entire classroom fell silent.
Even the store manager, Liu Li, looked at her painting in surprise.
After Gu Shishi finished her explanation and left, everyone looked at her in a different light!
Everyone present was an expert in this field. Naturally, they could appreciate the quality of the painting.
Ling Xiaomei, who was waiting for the next one, was about to cry. "Oh my god! Shishi, if I had known earlier, I would have gone first! "
She was under a lot of pressure now!
"It's okay. Relax."
Gu Shishi smiled and patted her shoulder.
As for Zhao Xian, her face had turned completely black.
Even this soft bag Ling Xiaomei did not put her in her eyes at all!
However, Gu Shishi, who was about to sit down and rest, was about to cheer Ling Xiaomei on when she suddenly received a message on her phone.
It was a WeChat friend request request …
Her watery eyes widened abruptly!
This person's profile picture was the Chinese character 'Si'!
Huo Sishen!
Big boss!
Did he take the initiative to add her on WeChat?!
Gu Shishi held her phone with both hands excitedly.
She tapped on it and looked at the note.
She was stunned.
[Note: Ms. Gu, I'm Si Yi.]
"Uh …"
A basin of cold water was poured over her!
Gu Shishi bit her lip and accepted the friend request.
As expected, big bosses wouldn't take the initiative to add people on WeChat …
Just as she was feeling disappointed, her phone vibrated again.
[Si Yi: Ms. Gu, I'll bring you lunch in the afternoon. What time is convenient?]
Ah!
Gu Shishi's little heart instantly jumped. She was on a roller coaster ride and rushed to the sky!
