The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 14 Absurd Gambling

Recently, due to being too busy with work, Lai Xiaocai always leaves early and returns late, so Lai Xiaocai has no time to practice her brushwork at all, and her painting skills have become a bit rusty.

In other words, the so-called "practicing pen" is just like martial art practice in martial arts novels. When it is necessary to hit wooden stakes and make horse steps, even an industry that is not a pure art like comics still needs basic art skills, but many cartoonists have It's a part-time job that became a monk halfway through, and many of the pure art colleges are old antiques who look down on comics, so there are few Dacheng families with particularly good foundations in the domestic comics industry.

Hey, in fact, she can understand most people very well. I think that as soon as I said "I want to be a cartoonist", my mother made up a picture of her starving to death in front of the computer with spider silk hanging all over her body. She tried her best to dissuade her in an instant, so she let it go.The reason why I entered this food company after I came to Shanghai was half because I was tempted by the gourmet desserts of this brand (I thought at the time that their company provided employees with rich and free meals every day!), and the other half , because many of the "fondant cakes" they made are as exquisite as works of art, and more importantly, the different shapes and colorful dazzling colors really look like a perfect painting. painting.

I remember that she once learned about it in magazines, and felt that some high-end cake makers abroad are actually artists who paint on cakes in essence, not to mention the many shapes of this "fondant cake" They all used cartoon images, so from the very beginning, Lai Xiaocai submitted her resume with the mentality that maybe her expertise could be useful, but later... um, although she came in, in fact it was different from her Imagination is very different.

Sure enough, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

As she was thinking about it, she sketched a rough sketch. She wanted to calmly draw a picture to cultivate her sentiments, but every time she hit a few shots, Ling Xi came to take a look at her results.

"Hey, the guy you drew looks so stupid! What a bad expression!"

Ha, I didn't expect him to be quite self-aware, able to see what his own body is at a glance.

"I'm just loyal to the character design." Lai Xiaocai replied.

Unexpectedly, he gesticulated and said, "This leg is too short!"

Lai Xiaocai was furious for a moment: "Hey! This is a Q version, and it's not proportional!"

But he propped his chin up and ordered: "I don't care, but I can't draw this young master like a dumpling. Quickly draw again!"

It's really difficult to explain this to a layman. Even if I change the proportions and draw him as handsome as the male protagonist in a shoujo manga, I can't make a cake model in the end!It's hard to imagine what a proportional humanoid cake would look like. Should "his" head be cut off to eat, or cut in half to eat?Just thinking about it gives me a chill.

"Do you look sad?"

I don't know how long it took, when Lai Xiaocai was concentrating on painting, a male voice suddenly remembered next to her, she suddenly looked up, and saw a yellow-haired boy who was playing with Ling Xi just now, sitting opposite me sitting on the chair, stretching his head and jokingly aiming at his own painting.

Lai Xiaocai quickly put down the sketchbook, and smiled politely at him, but she was thinking in her heart: Why is another young master running over?I suddenly had a bad feeling.

He stretched out his hand and took the sketchbook in my hand and looked at it carefully for a moment: "Ha, he looks like that brat Ling Xi's fart."

"Really? Hehe, thank you." Lai Xiaocai stepped forward cautiously and took the notebook back from him.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mao suddenly asked straight to the point: "Are you Ling Xi's new girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Lai Xiaocai subconsciously stood up from the chair: "How is that possible!"

"Is that so?" Huang Mao was a little stunned: "Then what's your relationship?"

"We...have nothing to do with each other!" Lai Xiaocai felt her cheeks burn unconsciously again, and hurriedly replied: "I was sent by the company to discuss work with him, that's all!"

No way, this yellow-haired boy kept looking at her more and more curiously: "It's rare, he never brings company employees out to play with us, how do you know that he has changed his taste now and is going to start with his subordinates?"

"I said, I have nothing to do with him!" She couldn't help clarifying angrily.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mao grinned as if he was in the middle of his heart: "So that's the case, that's good." Then he touched his chin: "What's your name?"

Really didn't want to get entangled, Lai Xiaocai immediately put down the notebook and stood up: "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Unexpectedly, this guy would stand up and follow him, and said provocatively, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

What?A big man offered to accompany him to the bathroom?What does this mean?
In this world, birds of a feather flock together, and now Lai Xiaocai finally understands this personally, one Ling Xi is enough for her, how can she bear another one?
Just as she was suppressing her emotions and considering whether to have an attack, Ling Xi's loud voice came from the opposite side: "Akang! You bastard, you haven't finished this round yet, why are you running away with me?"

I saw the young man named A Kang in front of me stunned for a moment, and then had no choice but to say to Lai Xiaocai: "I'm sorry, then I'll go there first." After speaking, he waved to Ling Xi and went back to their practice. went to the team.

This kind of strange interpersonal communication really made Lai Xiaocai feel uncomfortable.

After Lai Xiaocai went to the restroom and came back, she saw them starting to pack their things in groups of three or four. I thought I should be able to escape, right?Unexpectedly, Ling Xi actually dragged herself to the restaurant to have dinner with them again. What's worse, those young masters even called a few women with good figure, hugging left and right one by one, in pairs, This sets off the fact that he and Ling Xi seem to have an ambiguous relationship.

Recalling what the man named A Kang said just now, Lai Xiaocai felt weird again for a while. Does Ling Xi really only bring his girlfriend here on weekdays?Then what is the meaning of his abruptly bringing me here now?Lai Xiaocai couldn't understand for a moment.

stay till afternoon,

Ling Xi dragged Lai Xiaocai to the bowling room with them again, but Lai Xiaocai cursed inwardly: Don't these ignorant guys have to work all day long?
Of course, Ling Xi's game skills are really good. Not only is every game a grand slam, but his handsome and elegant posture also makes the accompanying women burst into excitement and screams. He glanced at Lai Xiaocai in a proud manner, as if he hoped that Lai Xiaocai would cheer for him like those nympho girls, but Lai Xiaocai really buried her head in painting seriously, and didn't look up at him for a long time. This moment made him unhappy up.
