Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 116, Reward, Fulfillment, Chen Yan is back
Jiang Zhe's cell phone rang.

When he saw it was Sister Liao’s number, he went back to his room to answer the call.

"Sister Liao, are you busy with work?"

"I just got off work. Is the exhibition over?" asked Sister Liao.

Jiang Zhe replied: "It's over."

"I'm glad it ended smoothly. I heard that you won a prize in a competition?" Sister Liao's voice was filled with happiness.

This emotion also infected Jiang Zhe: "Yes, I got the news from Wang Zhen today."

Sister Liao asked, "What's the content of the painting?"

Jiang Zhe briefly described the images and scenes in the painting.

Sister Liao said, "That's no problem. Congratulations. Originally, I was still thinking about how to help you, but I didn't expect you to leave faster than I expected."

Jiang Zhe said: "I understand your good intentions."

Sister Liao changed her tone and said, "Now that you have honor, many people and things will come to you. If you are willing to listen to me, don't go anywhere in the next few days. Just stay in the studio honestly. Don't worry about personal relationships or face. Just say that you are creating a work."

Jiang Zhe's originally active mind slowly calmed down after hearing these words. With the experience of rebirth, he understood that Sister Liao's instructions were out of genuine concern for him.

"I'll listen to you." Jiang Zhe told Sister Liao about Wang Zhen and the society.

Sister Liao said firmly: "You don't have to worry about him. Wang Zhen knows what to do. You just need to stay calm and steady." The two chatted for a while before ending the call.

Jiang Zhe pondered over Sister Liao's advice, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that it came at a very timely moment. Many people fail because they become arrogant.

He heard his parents still chatting, and took the opportunity when no one was interrupting him to open the system.

The system page shows: Players complete random activities, create more than 20 works, and participate in the art society's exhibition. In the process of completing the task, they will receive honors. After the random task is completed, the player can receive the reward.

Jiang Zhe clicks to receive.

The page pops up a message box:
Players will receive the following rewards: 1. Art growth fund of RMB 6. 2. One chance to win a skill lottery.

Players can choose funding channels.

Jiang Zhe clicked on the options and saw four options: stocks, lotteries, business opportunities, and selling paintings.

He chose to sell paintings.

The system will give a prompt and players can wait patiently.

Seeing that the system did not tell him how to prepare, Jiang Zhe guessed that this time he would buy paintings, perhaps to sell some works that were currently on display or under negotiation.

He clicked on the skill lottery page.

This time, he was unlucky and only drew a basic skill.

Better than nothing, click to receive.

System prompt: The player obtains the skill of direct oil painting (elementary).

Jiang Zhe digested the skills and knowledge quickly.

Direct oil painting is a painting technique that emerged after the classical oil painting glazing technique, and is also a painting technique used by many painters today.

Although it is a basic skill, this skill package covers some useful basic knowledge and is very helpful for learning oil painting.

When Jiang Zhe was savoring the skills and knowledge, he felt that the reward this time was a bit small.

The system then gives a prompt.

As the player's popularity increases, he will get more opportunities and can cash in 50 yuan of the previous 10 yuan reward. Should he cash it in?
When Jiang Zhe saw the prompt, the first thing he thought of was to have his own studio.

He chose to cash it out immediately, asking players to wait patiently.

He didn't know how the system would fulfill its promise, but it would probably be lottery and selling paintings.

Jiang Zhe turned off the system and walked to the living room to refill his cup with water.

"It takes so long to make a phone call?" Xu Li asked.

Jiang Zhe said, "It's nothing, a friend called to congratulate him." Before he finished speaking, his phone rang again. It was Wang Zhen's number.

Xu Li waved her hand, signaling him to answer the phone quickly.

Jiang Zhe returned to the room and pressed the answer button.

"Manager Wang, you haven't rested yet?"

Wang Zhen said, "I have good news for you. There are already customers who want to buy your two works, and the price is reasonable. Can you open a gallery tomorrow?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Manager Wang, I won't be here tomorrow. When the time comes, just tell me the price."

"What about the Art Society?"

Jiang Zhe has made up his mind: "You know my creative process, please forgive me."

"I can see that you plan to be a hands-off boss, right?" Seeing that Jiang Zhe was unwilling to come forward, Wang Zhen had to give up persuading him.

After ending the call, she was surprised by Jiang Zhe's performance.

She had met a lot of people who were engaged in art, and she knew that they all had their own personalities and flaws. Most people would be excited for a while, if not bragging about it. But Jiang Zhe was unexpectedly calm, which made Wang Zhen look at him with new eyes. Are young people now so stable?
At this time, Jiang Zhe has already started to make up for today's accumulation.

The next day, Wang Zhen finally made the deal.

Jiang Zhe did not meet with the seller and asked Lawyer Qin to help him with the formalities.

When everything was done, Jiang Zhe's account had an extra 63000 yuan.

This is the total price of the two paintings. After deducting various expenses, the money is a little more than the mission reward.

The funds in Jiang Zhe's account once again exceeded 300,000.

After being happy, he began to test his newly acquired basic oil painting skills on 16-page oil paper.

He painted several street scenes and two figures. Since it was practice, he tried to finish them in one go.

Although the direct painting method of oil painting is more suitable for the pace of modern life than the glazing technique, it is not simple.

Jiang Zhe discovered that the skill package he obtained contained many color adjustment techniques.

This method requires long-term training, but I have quickly mastered it with the help of the system.

Jiang Zhe had just finished drawing his practice draft and was about to take a break when he received a call from Chen Yan.

The two kept in touch while Chen Yan was out.

Jiang Zhe estimated that Chen Yan should be back.

"Guess where I am now?" Chen Yan asked playfully after answering the call.

"Are you back?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"I'm downstairs in your studio." Jiang Zhe walked to the window sill and looked down. Sure enough, he saw Chen Yan standing downstairs, waving at him. Jiang Zhe waved and said, "I'll go downstairs to pick you up."

Jiang Zhe led Xiao Ka downstairs. When Xiao Ka saw Chen Yan, he quickly rushed over.

Chen Yan held up the small card and asked, "Did you miss me?"

"When did you come back?"

"last night."

Jiang Zhe noticed that Chen Yan had gotten a little tanned, but he was tactful enough not to say anything.

"Why don't you rest at home?"

"Bah, you heartless person. I think of you when I come back. But you are so good." Chen Yan scolded.

"Go up and talk."

Chen Yan took Xiao Ka and went back to the studio with Jiang Zhe.

"You think I didn't?"

"I think about it every day."

"I can tell at a glance that you're not serious."

"Who said that? Take a look." Jiang Zhe found a drawing board with a watercolor painting on it that had not been taken down.

Chen Yan saw that the painting was of herself and asked with a smile: "When was it painted?"

"Drawn based on memories." Jiang Zhe said.

In this small painting, Chen Yan is squatting on a reef, with one foot in the water, staring intently at the small fish in the water. Her hands seem to be about to move but not yet, which is very interesting.

"Can you give it to me?"

"no problem."

Chen Yan said: "I also prepared a gift for you."

She took out two brocade boxes.

When Jiang Zhe saw the paper sticker on the brocade box with the words "Cao Sugong" on it, he knew it was an ink block.

"Did you buy it in the Magic City?"

"Yes, I remember you sometimes copied regular script, so I bought you two inkstones."

Jiang Zhe opened the brocade box and saw two ingots of ink weighing one ounce each. One of them had the words "Tiezhai Weng's precious ink for calligraphy and painting" painted in gold, and the other had the words "Great Landscape" painted in gold.

The words "Oil Fume 101" are written all over the top.

Jiang Zhe knew that these should be inks produced in the 90s. "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

"I also brought a gift for Karl." Chen Yan took out a small bell from her bag.

Jiang Zhe had a headache: “If you put this on it, the neighbors will scold you.

"Will you put it on when you go out?"

While the two were chatting, Jiang Zhe unconsciously reached out his hand.

Chen Yan pushed him: "Um, Karl..."

Jiang Zhe understood, put Xiao Ka into the cage, checked the door, and came back to see that Chen Yan was already prepared.

Xiao Ka didn't understand why he was locked up again. He could only cling to the cage door and observe the two people...

Jiang Zhe looked at Chen Yan who was sleeping soundly.

Although she didn't break through the last level, she was exhausted.

Chen Yan was sleeping soundly.

After waking up, the two ate together, and it seemed that all the food was sweet.

In the evening, Jiang Zhe sent Chen Yan home.

Chen Yan watched the taxi Jiang Zhe took go away, and she looked forward to life after college started.

Jiang Zhe returned home and made up for what he had learned today.

I was tired from painting and was taking a break when I received a call from Mr. Wu.

He checked the time; it was just after eight in the evening.

"Mr. Wu. Hello."

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your work. Today we hung your work in the lobby. Many members said that your paintings are good. We need two more works. Do you have time?"

Jiang Zhe asked, "What size of painting do you want and what content do you want?"

Mr. Wu told Jiang Zhe the size and requirements, and he took notes carefully.

Mr. Wu said, "Mr. Jiang, you have worked very hard to create your works. For three works, the fee is 100,000 yuan, and we will cover the rest of the expenses. Do you think this is okay?"

Jiang Zhe understood in his heart that it was here.

After agreeing on the price, the two ended the call.

In the following days, Jiang Zhe prepared for new creations, occasionally asking Chen Yan to go out and play, or meeting with Sister Liao.

Early in the morning, when he was taking Carl for a walk, he received a call from Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen got straight to the point: "Jiang Zhe, I remember you always wanted a studio of your own."

"Yes." Jiang Zhe said, "I haven't found a suitable house yet."

Wang Zhen said, "I have always kept your story in mind. I asked my friends to find you a few houses. Do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Thank you. Is this too much trouble for you and your friends?"

"If you have time, I'll send a car to pick you up."

Jiang Zhe sent Xiao Ka to the studio and went downstairs.

While waiting, he sent a text message to Sister Liao.

Soon, Wang Zhen's car stopped by the roadside.

Wang Zhen lowered the car window and asked Jiang Zhe to get in.

Jiang Zhe sat in the back seat: "Manager Wang, please come in person."
