Thousands of miles and a pound of paint

In the evening, Su Li chatted with Chen Peng for a long time.

Su Li didn't hide it from him, and told Chen Peng the whole story.

Instead, Chen Peng was a little worried: "Are you sure that order will match our lacquerware?"

"As far as our current situation is concerned, if there is a chance, we have to rush. What if there is a chance? You can't be picky, let's try it first."

Su Li's words were rough and reasonable, but Chen Peng didn't feel very excited after hearing it, and even felt a little depressed.

"Compared with before, the studio has indeed retreated a lot, but there is no other way, right? The companies or customers we have dealt with before are indeed relatively high-end, but the current situation is like this. We can only do as much as we can.”

Su Liyu enlightened him earnestly, but there was a complete silence on the other side.

It's not that Chen Peng doesn't understand the truth, it's just that the gap between the front and the back is too big, and he can't pass the hurdle in his heart.

He snorted coldly, "Su Li, you said our studio was so beautiful in the past. People said that we lined up to make reservations here. We couldn’t even receive the most common orders, and they thought we were unlucky, so we were blocked early.”

In the past, when I went out to participate in activities, it was always picked up by car, and the price of lacquerware was guaranteed throughout the process, and even delivered by security guards.

But now not only have to go by themselves, but also decide whether to take a taxi or take the subway according to the distance of the destination, and the lacquerware can only be dragged there with a suitcase.

It is really difficult to quickly accept the treatment of one heaven and one underground, and it is reasonable to have emotions, Su Li thinks it is understandable.

A while ago, I was all around the master again, and I had no income for a long time. I finally took an order, and the response was good. He was also willing to matchmaking, but I didn't expect to borrow Wang Huaijin's light.

Listening to Chen Peng's complaints, Su Li recalled his process of dealing with things during this period of time.

It seems that since I took over the studio, I haven't done very well, and even failed.

In the evening, Su Li was strolling by the seaside alone. The wind was slightly cold in the middle of the night, and her heart was involuntarily disturbed. Unknowingly, Su Li had already walked to the nearby lighthouse.

A lighthouse is a tower-shaped luminous buoy built near the key parts of the channel. It is a fixed buoy whose basic function is to guide ships to navigate or indicate dangerous areas (often used to mark dangerous coasts, dangerous sandbars or reefs, and roads leading to port channel).

According to the size of the lighthouse and the characteristics of the location, the lighthouse can be guarded or unguarded. Important lighthouses should be guarded.

Su Li stood under the lighthouse. She felt that she was like a ship stranded in the sea, and she could only find the way back by relying on the guidance of the lighthouse.

But now, she seems to have become someone else's lighthouse, or the lighthouse keeper. She must light herself up first, so that the stranded ships can see the hope of returning.

Su Li hesitated for a long time, took two deep breaths, and patiently called Chen Peng back.

She told him on the phone, "The current difficulties are temporary and we need to overcome them together. I hope you can sort out your mentality and go to that small order meeting with me. Only we can go together. You will have more confidence.”

"Su Li, I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm just afraid that I won't see hope. This time I will go with you. If there is still no gain, I may not be able to spend any more time with you." Chen Peng's tone was very sincere.

Su Li made a difficult decision. She knew that Chen Peng's family conditions were also very ordinary. If he still had no income, he could only go back to find a comforting but ordinary job according to his family's request.

"Okay! This is the last time. Let's work together for the last time. I promise you that no matter what the ending is, it's up to you to decide whether to stay or go after the end."

Back home, Su Li was already in tears.

It was the first time she felt so helpless, and now even Seventh Senior Brother couldn't hold on anymore, and it turned out that she had done too badly and failed to run the studio well.

As soon as Xia Xinglan opened the door, she saw Su Li lost her soul, "Little Li Li, why are your eyes swollen like walnuts?"

Su Li didn't reply, just buried himself in the quilt and cried bitterly.

Xia Xinglan knew Su Li well, she was usually an optimistic girl, but it is impossible for an optimistic person to be emotionally broken for no reason, so something must have happened.

"Xiao Lili, what's the matter, can you tell me? Is that scumbag Wang Huaijin again?"

Su Li heard Wang Huaijin's three words, his crying voice became quieter, and he gradually started to choke, "No, it's not him! It's about work! I feel like I'm terrible, and I can't do anything well."

"Didn't you just tell me that there was a new event yesterday? Why did it happen again today?"

Xia Xinglan moved her head from the quilt to her lap, stroking her back with her hand.

Su Li choked up and said, "Senior Brother Seven... He wants to give up. He said that this is the last time he will accompany me to participate in activities. If the studio still doesn't improve, he will leave the studio."

Xia Xinglan is not happy anymore, isn't this clearly bullying her sisters!

Then can she let others bully like this?
That must not be the case!

Xia Xinglan: "What? Is that bastard Chen Peng? Is he still a man, and he wants to abandon you and run away?"

Su Li looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Don't, don't say that about him, it's not easy for him, it's me! It's me who didn't do well!"

This made Xia Xinglan so angry that his eyes rolled out of the sky, "You are the only co-author who didn't do a good job? Did they all do a good job?"

She rolled up her sleeves, stared at Su Li with her hands on her hips, and took another two sips of wine to strengthen her courage, "Su Li, I have really held back some words for a long time. I didn't have an attack before because of your condition. Now I'm starting to go crazy!"

Su Li immediately stopped crying and stared blankly at her going crazy.

"It's just your studio! Just your master and wife? Damn! The studio went bankrupt and I knew it was handed over to you? Why did you go so early? And your senior brothers, they are all more experienced than you! Why do they Didn’t inherit the studio? Everyone knows it’s a mess! He runs faster than anyone else, and your seventh senior brother, to put it bluntly! He just wants to use you to take orders and share a piece of the pie with you, so you are stupid Silly music, I really don't understand what you are happy about? If it doesn't work, let's withdraw!"

Xia Xinglan said so many words in one breath, but Su Li still looked at her without saying a word, not knowing how to continue for a while.
