Even Zhou Yi would come up with some other ideas because of a certain request from Zheng Pianqing, which suited her liking.
He seems to be a very thoughtful person in this regard.
After today's trip, Zheng Pianqian had a feeling of "admiration" for Zhou Yi - she knew that Zhou Yi's mind works very quickly many years ago, but it was just that it was still different from what she saw today. There is a difference.
"Okay, I'll make a PPT when I go back tonight and show it to you." Zhou Yi took a pen and wrote down the key points in his sketchbook, raised his head and said to Zheng Pianqing, "I'll do it as soon as possible."
Zheng Pianqing: "Is it better to sign the contract first and then come up with a plan?"
She was talking about the labor contract.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's logically true, but you're in a hurry, so I'll do it first. It doesn't matter when the contract is signed, you won't give me less money anyway, right?"
After just a few hours, Zhou Yi found the skills to get along with Zheng Pianxing - as long as she talks about work seriously with her, her attitude is very good.
Just like when she was talking about the contract, if he said, "We have known each other for so many years" or "Our relationship does not require a contract," she would definitely change her face.
But based on his expression just now, Zheng Pianying's attitude was completely different. She nodded towards him, which was quite friendly.
Although Zhou Yi said that it would be the same no matter when the contract was signed, Zheng Pianqian still contacted the people at the studio to arrange the matter.
After Zheng Pianqian was busy all morning, she was still very hungry. After chatting about work, she picked up her knife and fork and started eating.
Zhou Yi looked at Zheng Pian Ting's movements, his thoughts were a little dazed, and he felt a little uncontrollably excited - after the past six or seven years, he finally had the opportunity to have a meal with Zheng Pian Ting alone again.
Although they had sat at the same table quite a few times in the past, she always made the compromise for San San's sake and was not really willing to do so. Today's meaning is completely different.
Zhou Yi thought about it for a long time before asking a question: "Are there any plans to go to other cities in the future?"
Zheng Pianqing: "There is a show in LA for Christmas."
Zhou Yi: "Have you considered it in China?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Let's finish these scheduled games first."
The studio is still in its infancy. Although it is not for profit, it cannot be developed blindly - besides, her reputation is not that big.
Zheng Pianqing has won many international awards in the past few years, but later she painted less and never participated in competitions. Her main focus in the past two years has been on participating in competitions. Exhibitions can only be said to be a first try. Test the waters.
Zhou Yi: "Leave the curation of the LA exhibition to me as well."
He paused and said, "Those days happened to be Sansan's birthday, and I haven't spent her birthday with her yet."
Zheng Pianqing: "Let's see the effect this time."
She only gave an ambiguous answer, but her attitude was quite calm.
Although it was not the answer Zhou Yi wanted, this sentence obviously meant that there was still room for negotiation, and Zhou Yi was very satisfied.
Now he has mastered the skill of "stopping when he's done".
——
During lunch, Zheng Pian Ting contacted San San. San San was shopping with Zhou Ruo, so Zheng Pian Ting did not go to pick her up. After lunch, she went back to the studio with Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi naturally followed Zheng Pianqing to the studio. He took a sketchbook and sat at a table in the corner, holding a pen and lowering his head to write and draw in the notebook.
Zheng Pianqing originally wanted to drive him out, but seeing how serious and focused he was, she didn't interrupt.
Zheng Pianqing ignored Zhou Yi, turned around and sat in front of the easel, and began to compose the latest work.
Zhou Yi watched Zheng Pianqing sitting in front of the easel with his peripheral vision, and then raised his head to look at her. The afternoon sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and her back was glowing, as if it had some kind of magnetism, attracting people to move. Don't look away.
Zhou Yi just stared at her for a long time. When he came back to his senses, his neck was a little stiff.
He sat quietly in the corner, reducing his presence to zero, not making any noise, and not wanting to disturb her.
Zhou Yi had rarely seen Zheng Pianqing so quietly for a long time, not even when he was in love before. His feelings for her at that time came from hormones and freshness, and they needed to be vented through possession and physical contact.
In other words, this is the case with every person he fell in love with before.
But at this moment, when he was staring at her and watching her do things, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness. He even had the urge to wish that time would stay at this moment forever.
It's a pity that time will not stop, and this tranquility was eventually broken by the return of Sansan.
"Mom, I'm back." Sansan's voice was not loud. She stopped at the door and poked her head in. "Did I disturb you?"
"No, I was just about to take a rest." Zheng Pian Ting put down her pencil, stood up and walked to the door, where she also saw Zhou Ruo in the corridor.
Looking at each other, Zheng Pianqian said to Zhou Ruo: "Sansan has troubled you today, thank you."
Zhou Ruo smiled and waved her hand, "It's a small thing, Sansan is very popular, and I also love to play with her."
"Mom, can I take my little aunt to visit your studio?" When Sansan went out to play today, she often told Zhou Ruo how beautiful Zheng Pianqing's studio was. Now that she was standing at the door, she naturally wanted to show her She went in to take a look.
"Okay." Zheng Pianqing looked at Zhou Ruo and said to her, "Come in and sit for a while."
Zhou Ruo: "Is it okay?"
Zhou Ruo was afraid that Zheng Pianqing said this for Sansan's sake. Some of the artistic people she had come into contact with before had a strong sense of territoriality and did not like others invading their exclusive space.
Zheng Pianqing: "It's okay, people come to my studio often."
With these words, Zhou Ruocai followed in with confidence.
"Uncle Zhou is here too?!" Sansan just stepped into the studio and immediately saw Zhou Yi in the corner. As soon as she said this, Zhou Ruo noticed that Zhou Yi was sitting quietly in a corner of Zheng Pianqing's studio. .
Zheng Pianqing actually let Zhou Yi into her studio? What a miracle.
Sansan's surprise could also be heard in her tone.
Zhou Yi put down his pencil, stood up from his chair, and walked towards the three of them.
Zhou Yi chatted with San San for a few words and then said goodbye first, "I'm going back first and will come back to you tomorrow."
Sansan was a little reluctant and took Zheng Pianqing downstairs to see Zhou Yi and Zhou Ruo off.
——
On the way back to the apartment, Zhou Ruo picked up Zhou Yi's sketchbook and flipped through it, raising his eyebrows with interest.
Zhou Yi glanced at her expression from the corner of his eye: "How is it?"
Zhou Ruo teased him: "No wonder your father always wants to kidnap you back to inherit the family property."
Zhou Yi: "I just thought you were praising me."
Zhou Ruo: "It seems like you guys got along well this time?"
Zhou Yi: "Well, when we talked about work, her attitude towards me was much better."
Zhou Ruo: "Is there a possibility that she is not used to seeing people who are usually unlearned and unskilled suddenly become serious?"
