Chapter 124 The Lonely Illustrator Part 2

Remember in a second [Love♂上÷You? Read→Book☆Net], fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Lu Yiyun's recent life is no different from before. Day after day, she takes orders, draws illustrations, submits manuscripts, reworks them, submits manuscripts again, and collects money. This is a cycle.

There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the year is unknown in cold and heat.

With no other distractions and almost no outside interference, even Lu Yiyun didn't realize that her painters were getting better and better in a subtle way. The price of a single illustration has risen from 800 yuan at the beginning to the current minimum guarantee of 1200 yuan, and she no longer needs to advertise by herself. Someone has already come to her on her own initiative, and the number of rework required is less and less.

In order to save money and maintain a living, she takes at least five orders for illustrations every month. She has slightly more free time than before due to faster painting and less rework.

In her spare time, she still updates her comics on Weibo, but few people still read them—artists can improve with hard work, but storytelling requires a certain talent, and not all stories are suitable for comics. manifested in the form.

Lu Yiyun was not discouraged, nor did she give up. She has survived even more difficult days than now. What else can't be overcome?

Using the money she earned, she first upgraded her computer and graphics tablet, and replaced it with a professional-grade monitor with higher color accuracy—a worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do a good job. One of the reasons she was always asked to have it reworked was that her original monitor was so crap — what she thought was a greenish color, the buyer said it was bluish. For this reason, she secretly shed tears, thinking that the buyer was intentionally bullying the newcomer. It was not until she changed the monitor that she realized that it was really blue...

Professional-grade monitors are very expensive, but since you plan to survive in this industry, professional-grade monitors are a must.

Then she bought a refrigerator online, so she didn't have to go shopping for vegetables and meat every day, saving time. Then she bought another electric heater—most houses in Binhai City have no heating, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is not too far away.

This empty rental house is becoming more and more like home.

She is still watching Xiaoxue's live broadcast outdoors, and every episode never ends, which has become a part of her life.

In Xiaoxue's live broadcast, she knew that Qiyuan Pet Store was going to open a membership system, and members would have discounts whether they bathed the cat or bought cat food.

Her Jasmine is a long-haired cat - when Zhang Zian went to take a bath for the first time, she said it was a chinchilla, so she bathed more frequently than a short-haired cat. After saving enough money, she immediately went to Qiyuan Pet Store to open a membership without any hesitation.

Zhang Zian didn't know her mental journey,

But he couldn't wish for someone to start a membership.

"This store is indeed about to launch a membership system, but it's still in the preparation stage. It's currently available for reservations—if I'm not mistaken, if you make a reservation now, you can get the top ten membership cards." Zhang Zian graciously recommended.

"Then I'll order one." Lu Yiyun nodded immediately.

"..."

She agreed too quickly, making Zhang Zian's large set of arguments completely useless, and she almost hurt internally. Why is this girl's painting style completely different from Zhao Qi's?

It took him a long time to slow down, "Because the membership system has just been launched, it is currently in the discount stage, as long as you recharge 1,000 yuan, you can book membership."

"Huh?" Lu Yiyun was taken aback, "1000? I thought it would cost more, otherwise I would have come here a few days earlier."

Zhang Zian said that it hurts a bit, why doesn't this girl play cards according to the routine? Is it less than 1,000 yuan for co-authoring? Her clothes are so ordinary, could it be that she is actually a hidden local tyrant?

He took out the registration book and pen, and said, "Well, please register your name, and leave your mobile phone number or WeChat ID. I will notify you when the membership system is officially launched."

Lu Yiyun wrote down her name and phone number.

Zhang Zian watched from the side, and couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart: "Lu Yiyun, right? Your handwriting is really beautiful!" This compliment is not mixed with any water.

Lu Yiyun was startled when she heard the words, the tip of her pen trembled, and the "6" in the last digit of the phone number was written in four different ways.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll write it again!" She hurriedly apologized at a loss.

How long has it been since she was praised by others?

Her parents have already severed the relationship, and they have not praised her for a long time before this, so long that she has forgotten when they praised her last time, was it when she won the painting competition award for the first time in elementary school?

Order customers will not praise her, it is just a pure business relationship, you give money, I draw, that's all - not only no compliments, malicious reminders and harsh demands for rework are common, even when the order is completed Finally, she would only confirm the payment after repeated reminders from her...

The salesperson in the community supermarket will not praise her.

The courier responsible for the delivery of the e-commerce will not praise her.

Even if she paid the rent in advance, the landlord would not praise her.

These are the only people she usually comes into contact with, and she never dreamed that the long-lost compliment would appear at this moment, in this pet shop that she had only visited once.

A good word warms the winter three times, but a bad word hurts the back cold.

Zhang Zian thought that he just said a very ordinary sentence, and it was a big truth, but saw Lu Yiyun holding a pen and suddenly burst into tears, tears dripping down on the registration book.

What the hell!

How can I cry while talking!

He panicked all of a sudden!

"Oh, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying suddenly? Is there something wrong? Do I need to take you to the hospital?" Zhang Zian asked, sweating profusely, at a loss.

But the more he asked, the more Lu Yiyun cried.

"Yes... Do you think 1,000 yuan is too expensive? 500 yuan is fine! No, today...today is an auspicious day, free of charge! Is it okay to sign up for free membership? Don't cry first!"

No matter how much Zhang Zian tried to persuade him, it didn't work. He raised his head and looked around as if asking for help, but he happened to meet Fei Na's gaze. Its eyes are no longer contemptuous, it is clearly saying: Why haven't you died yet?

I really didn't make her cry!

Zhang Zian beat his chest and stomped his feet, but he had nowhere to redress his grievances.

It's obvious, he and Lu Yiyun are the only two humans in this shop, so he's definitely the one who will take the blame!

It's over, Zhang Zian feels that something big has happened to him, and the end of the world is nothing more than that, right?

correct!

As a single dog, at this time, I must ask the elders for advice on life experience-how to soothe a crying girl!

He hurriedly looked at Lao Cha, hoping that Lao Cha would put the country and nation aside and come to save him from the dire straits.

As a result, Lao Cha yawned, and said to himself, "I haven't slept all night, let's catch up on sleep." As he spoke, he took off his bamboo hat and lay on the electric blanket, stretched his waist, and then began to snore slightly.

Nima is unreliable at critical moments!

He quickly picked up his mobile phone, entered the Wanghai Pavilion forum, and posted a post in the irrigation area.

Dashuai than the store manager: "Help! What if you make a girl cry? Waiting online, very urgent! "
