Chapter 156 Counteroffer 8
"My dear, bring me my painting tools. I want to see how qualified this bastard is to laugh at my work."
David ordered coldly.
Mary sighed helplessly, walked to a cabinet, squatted down, opened the cabinet, and started to take things out.
Soon.
The floor was filled with painting tools. Not to mention the pile of brushes and paints, there were three drawing boards alone.
Li Cunxi sneered: "It's true that poor students have too much stationery."
David looked at his wife: "Mary, what did he say?"
"He said you have so many tools."
Mary and Mud.
David knew that his wife had not told the truth, so he raised his head and said provocatively: "Barbarian, just painting is boring, let's bet on something."
"Okay."
Li Cunxi looked at the other party with pity.
Seeing that the other party had fallen into the trap, David said triumphantly: "If your painting is not as good as mine, kneel down and admit your mistake to me, and call me daddy."
He knew that the people of the Dragon Kingdom cared about this very much. There was an idiom that said, "Knowing a thief will make you a father."
So I thought it was a huge insult to ask Li Kang to call him dad.
"What if I draw better than you?"
Li Cunxi asked back.
David said matter-of-factly: "I also call you daddy."
"But I don't want a son like you."
After Li Cunxi finished speaking, he looked at Mary: "How much do you plan to sell this yard for?"
"One hundred thousand."
Mary answered.
"It's expensive. The market price is 5 yuan at most, but it doesn't matter. Let's do this. I can paint better than your husband. You can sell it to me for half the price of [-] yuan."
Li Cunxi made his request.
Mary looked hesitant.
David said: "Okay, as long as you can draw better than me, I'll sell you this shabby house for 5 yuan."
"David, you should discuss this with me."
Mary looked at David dissatisfied.
David sneered: "Don't worry, I won't lose. Don't you have confidence in my painting skills?"
"of course not."
Mary quickly denied it.
"Then it's settled."
Li Cunxi picked up the drawing board, moved a chair, applied a layer of transparent paint on the linen, and used charcoal to draw the appearance of the character he wanted to draw.
Soon.
A charcoal sketch of Bai Xiaoyan appears vividly on the paper, and her every frown and smile are captivating.
"Oh my God, he really knows how to draw."
Mary was taken aback.
David was also a little panicked, but he still said firmly: "Just because he is good at sketching does not mean that his oil painting skills are as good as mine. After all, the color and composition of oil paintings are supported by experience."
Li Cunxi sneered, mixed the paint, laid out the rough outline, and perfected it bit by bit.
He was extremely fast, dipping the paint in and writing as accurately as muscle memory, without any pause.
three hours later.
In the painting, Bai Xiaoyan is wearing a white dress, standing in the field, with the breeze blowing on her face, and some hair blowing to her face, but she shows a bright smile.
When Bai Xiaoyan saw this painting, her eyes showed a little more tenderness.
This painting depicts the scene when she first met Li Cunxi when she went to the countryside.
Li Cunxi put down his painting brush with a look of nostalgia.
In his previous life, he and his wife had many memories, but the most profound image in his mind was when they first met.
this painting.
He has painted it thousands of times, and the composition, setting, and color use seem to be engraved in his genes and come easily.
Because of this proficiency.
It only took him three hours to complete a painting that others might not be able to paint in a month.
The men of David behind him were dumbfounded.
Not to mention the painting quality, the painting speed was already subverting his cognition.
"Are you superman?"
he asked incredulously.
"I'm still fucking Batman."
Li Cunxi threw away the brush, gave way to a painting, and asked quietly: "How is my painting?"
David looked at the oil painting, which looked like a photo, but had more intense colors than the photo, and was stunned.
For him who pursues realistic painting.
This is simply a palace-level painter.
Compared with those of my own shabby paintings, they are indeed worse than shit.
"Hey, buddy, stop looking. This is my wife, not yours."
Li Cunxi reminded softly.
When Mary heard this, she stretched out her hand and twisted her husband.
David came to his senses and hurriedly explained: "I didn't look at your wife, I was just amazed at your detail processing and use of colors. It's really amazing."
"Then you admit that my painting is better than yours?"
Li Cunxi asked.
David nodded.
"Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. I want this house for 5 yuan. I'll transfer it tomorrow."
Li Cunxi struck while the iron was hot to prevent the foreigner from regretting it again.
"Fifty thousand is not enough, at least [-]."
Mary bargained.
"Miss Mary, Americans attach great importance to the spirit of contract. Oral promises are also a type of contract and have legal effects."
Li Cunxi smiled.
Mary turned a deaf ear and said to herself, "Seventy thousand is my bottom line."
"Let's do this. I'll give you [-] yuan and you can help me get a household registration. I think with your connections, this should be a piece of cake."
Li Cunxi took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
There is such a private property that has not been confiscated. In the 70s, the government sent people to study in the United States, and they could go abroad at will.
Mary's connections are unquestionable.
"What kind of household registration?"
Mary frowned.
"Beijing household registration."
Li Cunxi replied.
"Ah? Aren't you from the capital?"
Mary was astonished.
Aside from Li Cunxi's fluent English, the other party also spoke with the most authentic Beijing accent, which caused her to have no doubt about Li Cunxi's identity as a Beijing native.
Li Cunxi shook his head slightly and didn't explain anything.
"One hundred thousand, I'll help you transfer your relationship to the capital."
Mary continued to bargain.
Li Cunxi smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry to buy a courtyard house. I can wait for other sellers to scare me away. You may not be able to sell it in a short time."
"Then you can't find anyone to register your household registration?"
Mary looked narrow-minded.
"Do you think a person who spends 8 yuan to buy a courtyard house can't buy a household registration? I just don't want to owe others favors, so I'm too lazy to get one."
Li Cunxi asked back.
He was telling the truth. Whether it was Lu Changgui or Director Li of the printing factory, they could help him transfer his relationship to the factory, so that he could have a Beijing household registration.
But, if you operate this way, he will definitely not be able to resign in a short time. He will have to waste time in the factory for a while, and he will still owe someone a big favor, so he has never thought about registering.
Today is a perfect opportunity. When I encounter such an opportunity, I will mention it casually.
In fact, Mary refused.
Within [-] yuan, he would also consider buying this house.
Because this courtyard house has been well repaired, it can be said to be a model of move-in-ready housing, which saves him a lot of time in repairs.
Mary was still undecided.
Li Cunxi looked at the darkening sky and said softly: "Miss Mary, don't be in a hurry to answer me. You can consider it slowly. If you are willing to sell it, just inform Professor Liu. We will leave first."
Say it.
He led his wife out.
"stop."
David followed.
"What's the matter, you still want to fight?"
Li Cunxi looked unhappy.
David waved his hand: "I want you to be my teacher and teach me how to draw."
"Yes, but you have to help me persuade your wife to sell the yard to me as cheaply as possible. As long as the price is satisfactory to me, I can help you improve your painting skills as quickly as possible."
Li Cunxi made conditions.
"Okay, wait for my message."
David responded immediately.
