Chapter 167 Assistants

Wow!

Lin Qingshan's eyes lit up when he heard the name.

This... Mr. Crocodile is here...

If Wu Shiqing hadn't said that his pen name was Gotouge Koyoharu, he probably wouldn't have known that there was a future boss here.

But Mr. Crocodile changed his household registration directly in the parallel world... That's okay.

"Ahem..."

Lin Qingshan said, "Pen names... are not important. What's important is that you have to show your painting skills that are enough to be my assistant!"

"You should be familiar with my painting style, and as my assistant, you don't need to complete the character painting and story plot."

"But your work is mainly background painting, so..."

"Next, you draw a sketch of Night City in "Edgewalker" and complete it within half an hour. As long as you can satisfy me, you will pass."

Lin Qingshan looked at them and said.

Although he was slightly impressed by Wu Shiqing and Akutami Yuta after hearing the two pen names Gotouge Koyoharu and Akutami Gege.

But he would not just decide on the assistants.

Everything is possible in a parallel world. What if the two people in this parallel world have poor business capabilities?

So we still need to show our skills in person.

"Okay."

Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta obviously knew before they came that they would definitely show their business capabilities on the spot today.

So they took out the draft paper and brushes from their backpacks and began to paint carefully.

Lin Qingshan was also waiting slowly. While waiting, he and Ito Ayumi tasted the coffee served.

He didn't talk to Ito Ayumi, so that Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta could paint with peace of mind.

Finally, half an hour was up.

Lin Qingshan looked at his mobile phone, "Okay, time is up."

Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta put down their brushes, although they had actually finished long ago.

But they were still adding lines just now, trying to make their sketches more three-dimensional and exquisite.

Then they put their finished drawings in front of Lin Qingshan one by one.

The first thing Lin Qingshan saw was Chen Chunqiang's drawing.

Not bad... Even without coloring, the lines, composition, and light and shadow are all very good.

Judging from the painting skills alone, this business ability is definitely acceptable.

As expected by Lin Qingshan, Chen Chunqiang should indeed be the kind of cartoonist who is very good at painting but not good at storytelling.

Then, he looked at Akutami Yuta's drawing.

It was also very good, and the style was more three-dimensional, not much worse than Chen Chunqiang.

Then there was the drawing of the parallel world crocodile teacher...

Well... a little inferior to the previous two...

It feels like he is not very good at drawing cyberpunk city style.

But the style is still delicate, and it is still okay overall.

But if compared with Akutami Yuta and Chen Chunqiang...

The gap is a bit obvious.

After all, the paintings that Mr. Crocodile was good at in his previous life were not modern urban styles...

"Sorry, Shiqing."

Lin Qingshan shook his head at Wu Shiqing first, "Your paintings are very good, but..."

He showed her draft and Chen Chunqiang's in front of Wu Shiqing.

Obviously, everyone could see the obvious gap.

"I... I can work hard to learn."

Wu Shiqing was obviously panicked and said, "Please give me another chance..."

She didn't want to be eliminated just like that.

This is a good opportunity.

Lin Qingshan was also a little embarrassed after knowing that the person in front of him was Mr. Crocodile from a parallel world.

He also had some love for talents.

But in this way, there would be no fairness for Chen Chunqiang.

"Forget it..."

Lin Qingshan relaxed his brows.

Does he have to think so much?

Since Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta have all shown good painting skills, wouldn't it be better for him to hire them all for the sake of fairness?

He is not a person who is short of money now, so it is no problem to hire one more assistant.

Generally speaking, it is not a special thing for a big cartoonist in the industry to have three assistants.

"You are all good, I am very satisfied."

After Lin Qingshan figured it out, he said directly, "Congratulations, you are all accepted."

Wu Shiqing was stunned for a moment. She thought she was eliminated.

But suddenly Lin Qingshan changed his mind and accepted them all?

Isn't this too sudden?

She didn't even say anything, Lin Qingshan announced it directly.

Although all three people were hired together.

But no matter what, this is definitely something to be happy about.

Wu Shiqing cried with joy, "Thank you teacher for giving me a chance!"

Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta were also full of joy, "Thank you teacher!"

Now they are all comic assistants under Lin Qingshan!

It's good to take shelter under a big tree. Lin Qingshan, a new big cartoonist, will learn something when he works as an assistant under him, right?

They also came to be Lin Qingshan's assistants with the idea of ​​learning in this way.

Many cartoonists in the industry are like this, starting out as assistants to some famous cartoonists.

When they feel they can work independently, they will create their own works and submit them.

Finally, he became famous in one fell swoop.

"If you are my comic assistant, I will pay you 8K a month. When you have work, you can eat at my house."

Lin Qingshan said, "But accommodation is not provided. You can stay at my house for a night occasionally, but you can't live there permanently - you should have a place to stay."

In addition to being a cartoonist, he now has some inheritance from his parents, as well as some extra income - such as comic copyrights and game dividends.

As for C Station... it can only be said that there is only investment but no income at present.

Even so, he is still quite wealthy, and naturally he will not be stingy with better treatment.

He is not a person who values ​​money very much.

Hearing the treatment offered by Lin Qingshan, Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta all showed ecstasy.

This treatment... even in the industry, it is quite good!

After all, the salary of an average cartoonist assistant is only 4-6k a month, not to mention that Lin Qingshan's is also provided with meals.

"Thank you, teacher!"

They responded happily.

There was nothing else to do, so Ito Ayumi went back to prepare the contract, and Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta would formally sign the contract later.

Lin Qingshan's employment relationship with them was completed.

However, before the contract was signed, under the strong suggestion of Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang and Akutami Yuta, they went directly to Lin Qingshan's apartment and started working as cartoonist assistants.
