Chapter 47, Rewards, Special Attributes (Please Read)
Ning Anchi changed his clothes, moved the chair to a suitable position, sat on it, and posed in a posture similar to that in the picture.

Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at Ning Anchi: "Boss Ning, at this stage, we only need the draft as a reference. You don't have to work so hard."

President Ning smiled and said, "It would be better if we had a real person as a reference."

Jiang Zhe didn't think much about it and continued painting.

Ning Anchi didn't want to disturb Jiang Zhe, so he just watched quietly.

She gradually discovered that Jiang Zhe paused more and more while painting. He would think and find problems after every few strokes.

Ning Anchi stood up, looked at the painting, and gave his opinion.

Jiang Zhe would listen to some of Mr. Ning's opinions, but would also stick to some of his own views.

In recent years, fewer and fewer people have insisted on their own opinions in front of Ning Anchi.

By doing this, Jiang Zhe actually won Ning Anchi's favor.

Ning Anchi himself also found it strange that the fate between people was so magical. After only three contacts, he admired this young man very much and wanted to see how far he would develop.

Seeing that Jiang Zhe didn't object to talking while painting, she took the initiative to find topics to chat with Jiang Zhe.

Ning Anchi's conversation skills were far superior to Jiang Zhe's, and during this conversation and even argument, the way the two addressed each other naturally changed.

She called Jiang Zhe directly, and Jiang Zhe called her Sister Ning.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Zhe would definitely not do this, but because most of his attention was focused on painting, he naturally let his guard down.

Jiang Zhe's painting speed is getting slower and slower, but overall, the whole creative process is going smoothly.

By 5pm, the painting was finished.

"Boss Ning, this painting is almost done, but the lighting is not very good right now. I need to find another time to observe it again, preferably two or three days later, and then look for problems.

If you feel there is no problem at that time, then it is really done. ”

Ning Anchi stood up, walked slowly to the easel, stood side by side with Jiang Zhe, and admired the painting.

Compared with the previous draft, the final draft highlights the texture characteristics of watercolor painting. The colors and brushstrokes cleverly express the shape. The background of the picture is more hazy, adding a natural and fresh atmosphere.

The self in the picture is gentle and dignified. Although the movements are slightly changed, it is these subtle changes that significantly enhance the beauty of the picture.

This painting is still realistic, but it is different from photorealism. Some unimportant details look blurred, but they just highlight the texture of the object. Whether you look at it from close up or far away, it has its own charm.

Compared with this painting, the original draft, which looked very beautiful, actually has a dull feeling.

"Amazing. This painting is obviously a level higher than the draft, and better than I expected.

I am very satisfied with the draft. It is much better than the one my best friend drew. Ning Anchi praised it generously. If her subordinates were present, they would be surprised that Ning Anchi was a completely different person now.

Jiang Zhe also feels a sense of accomplishment when he completes a work. "Sister Ning, I have been studying hard. Maybe in a few years, I will be able to paint better."

Ning Anchi stared at the screen: "Unfortunately, in a few years, I will be old."

"How could that be? You were more beautiful then."

Ning Anchi suddenly said, "I'll buy both of these paintings."

"How can this be possible? We have already agreed that the draft is free." Jiang Zhe felt that no matter how good the first draft was, it was still just a draft. It would be inappropriate to charge for it. His principle was that the agreed amount was what he paid.

"I like them all."

"If you like it, then stay. I can't charge you more, as that would break the rules." When Jiang Zhe insisted, he heard the system's prompt sound.

I'm chatting with Ning Anchi now, so I can't go and watch it.

Seeing that Jiang Zhe insisted on not charging for the draft, Ning Anchi said, "Okay, I won't force you to change your principles. Pack your things and have dinner at my house today. Don't refuse."

"Thank you, sorry to bother you."

"Come on, go wash your hands and I'll go change my clothes.

I seldom eat at home, but today I was very happy to see your paintings. What do you like to eat? I'll ask someone to arrange it for you."

Jiang Zhe said: "As long as there is a staple food, it's fine. I don't have any dietary restrictions, but I can't eat spicy food."

"That's a coincidence. I don't like spicy food either. Do you like fish?"

"I like it." The two walked out of the studio and the staff helped them clean up.

After washing his hands, Jiang Zhe came to the restaurant.

The staff brought refreshments.

Jiang Zhe picked up the cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and took the opportunity to quietly open the system panel.

Check the system for new prompts.

In the process of claiming rewards, players can increase the amount of rewards through hard work. The system will give special rewards.

Because players use portraits to win rewards, they are given a special attribute - portraiture expertise.

Jiang Zhe was secretly delighted, having discovered a new function for the system.

First, the settlement rewards are not fixed and can be changed through your own efforts.

Second, the reward received quickly emerged in my mind.

The attribute is more like a talent, making him more sensitive to portrait modeling and helping him to create better portraits.

In short, this attribute is equivalent to a painter spending decades training his ability and sensitivity to observe and capture shapes.

For Jiang Zhe now, the remaining problem is the application of materials and the improvement of aesthetics. Therefore, this attribute is very useful, saving decades of time.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the restaurant door opened.

Ning Anchi walked into the restaurant.

Jiang Zhe was in a good mood because he received the reward, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ning Anchi at this time.

Ning Anchi's hair was loose, and he changed into loose clothes and a pair of open-toed sandals. Jiang Zhe's newly acquired attributes were immediately reflected.

He immediately noticed Ning Anchi's characteristics and some details. Her face without makeup was fresh and natural, her facial features were softer, and her toenails painted with nail polish looked like peach petals.

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Not urgent."

"Some dishes are taking a while to prepare. Let's try the dim sum first."

Ning Anchi naturally noticed Jiang Zhe's gaze. She smoothed her clothes, sat in the main seat, and began to chat with Jiang Zhe.

The staff delivered the meals one after another.

Dim sum and cold dishes are served first, followed by hot dishes such as conch and Chinese cabbage, jade pen fish, etc.

The meals prepared by Ning Anchi were not large in portion but very exquisite.

The dining table they used was a long one, so each meal was served with the same tableware, divided into two portions and placed in front of Jiang Zhe or Ning Anchi respectively to avoid the embarrassment of having to stretch their arms to pick up the food.

For example, the snow pear fire square dish that was just served has a square snow pear on the outside and a round piece of ham embedded inside. It is only half the size of a palm and is served in a Yue kiln celadon cup. It is very exquisite.

Ning Anchi saw Jiang Zhe observing the snow pear fire square, so he introduced: "This dish is improved from the honey fire square. The original method does not meet today's health requirements.

This method reduces the amount and uses pear instead of honey.”

Jiang Zhe took a bite and found it was indeed delicious.

Steamed cod and mullet egg soup were served one after another.

Whenever Ning Anchi saw what Jiang Zhe liked, he would explain to him the origin of the dish and how to taste it, and he would also have someone prepare a bowl of hand-rolled noodles for Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe was neither rude nor restrained.

Until the staff brought the dessert, Ning Anchi asked, "Can you eat enough?"

Jiang Zhe put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full. Did I eat so rudely that you lost your appetite?"

Ning Anchi laughed: "I like watching you eat. Seeing you eat so deliciously makes me hungry, and I eat a little more than usual. If I were eating alone, I wouldn't dare to eat like this."

After they finished their meal, they sat down in the living room.

"How's the exam going?" Ning Anchi asked.

Jiang Zhe said: "I feel quite confident. Of course, I will have to wait and see the results of the cultural subjects in the college entrance examination. In order to prevent any accidents, I will also participate in the art examinations of several schools as a backup."

Ning Anchi said, "I don't dare to say anything about other places, but in Binhai, I know the principals of several schools. Do you want me to say hello to you?"

Regardless of whether she was being polite or not, Jiang Zhe first expressed his gratitude. "Sister Ning, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to try it myself. After all, the college entrance examination is a rare experience in life.

A few months ago, I was even ready to repeat the year, but in recent months, I suddenly had a breakthrough in painting, and I felt more confident, so I wanted to give it a try and not have any regrets in my life. "

He didn't know that Ning Anchi was testing him.

Ning Anchi, who had been in the business world for many years, still maintained his vigilance as a businessman no matter how good his impression of Jiang Zhe was. He had tried once before and tried again just now.

After the relationship is established, suddenly throwing out a probe in a light-hearted topic can often elicit a genuine reaction.

When she heard Jiang Zhe's answer, she felt relieved and secretly sighed.

If it were those old foxes, they would have taken advantage of the situation long ago.

Jiang Zhe checked the time and said, "Mr. Ning, it's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality. I won't disturb you to rest."

Ning Anchi stood up and said, "You've worked hard. Go back and rest early. I'll have someone drive you back."

Jiang Zhe declined: "No need to bother."

Ning Anchi said, "You are visiting my home, I will make the arrangements, Sister Li, use my car to take Jiang Zhe."

"Thank you, Sister Ning." Jiang Zhe no longer refused.

Ning Anchi saw him off all the way and reminded him, "If you need to find me for something, don't go through Wang Zhen, just call me or my assistant directly. If you want to come over to perfect your painting, you can do so anytime. If I'm not at home, Sister Li will arrange it for you."

"I remember."

Jiang Zhe said goodbye to Ning Anchi and followed Sister Li to the parking lot.

A man was already waiting.

Sister Li gave him some instructions.

The driver said to Jiang Zhe, "Mr. Jiang, please get in the car."

Jiang Zhe got into an old Mercedes-Benz and told the driver his address.

The car drove out of the underground garage. Jiang Zhe looked back and found Ning Anchi standing in front of the living room window, waving at him.

Jiang Zhe also waved.

The car has a smooth ride and the interior is modern and luxurious, completely different from the exterior.

Before I knew it, I was near the studio.

The driver asked, "Mr. Jiang, where do you live? I'll stop at the nearest place. Please don't be bothered. If I ask you to walk more, I'll be embarrassed."

Jiang Zhe pointed to the location of the studio: "Look, it's right there. If we go any further, it will be difficult to park."

The driver took a look and said, "I see. If I come to pick you up, are you still here?"

"Yes, thank you."
