The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 183 Professional Painter

Lou Chenxiao gave her a tug and brought her to the place where the bricks were taken out.

As he got closer, the strange gasping sound got closer, accompanied by the gasping sound and the soft hum of a woman. After a few seconds, the woman changed from a soft snort to a coquettish cry from the small hole, Mi Congcong blushed when he heard that.

If Mi Congcong didn't react at first, but after hearing this for a while, if she still doesn't know what the man and woman next door are doing, then her life will be in vain!

"This is the good thing you showed me?!" Mi Congcong lowered his voice, staring at him with shame or annoyance.

What's going on with this Baihualou, how can people be allowed to spy on the privacy of the guests?It's too unprofessional!

If this matter gets out, who else would dare to come here for entertainment?
"More than this." Lou Chenxiao walked to the bookshelf, moved all the books on the top shelf to the table, and silently waved to Mi Congcong.

Mi Congcong held back his breath and walked over. He pointed to the books on the table and said softly, "These are the albums that have just been sorted out. Can you help me see what needs to be improved?"

He opened the album in front of her, and when Mi Congcong saw the explicit pictures inside, he almost didn't bring it up.

"You've been hanging around the place of fireworks just to draw these things?!" She didn't even know that he had such a perverted hobby, and even stole the guests here for fun!
"Of course, this kind of thing is very expensive!" Lou Chenxiao replied of course, paused, and glanced at her: "Don't say you don't know that I opened a painting workshop in the county."

Mi Congcong thought hard for a while. She remembered hearing Mo Qi say that this guy opened a small painting workshop in a garden in the county town. What does it have to do with this album?
"Seeing that you are like this, you don't know!" Seeing that she didn't speak, Lou Chenxiao looked unhappy: "We are also a couple in name after all, why are you so indifferent to me, Cong'er? You asked a little You should also know what my painting workshop does, and even more so, you should know that those princes and brothers in the county are going for these albums!"

Mi Congcong stared: "You mean to say that your art workshop sells dog meat under false pretences, but actually sells yellow|books?!"

She is convinced by such a business mind!
The art workshop sounds so elegant, but it actually sells such vulgar albums!Mi Congcong couldn't connect the two together.

"I opened the studio in the garden, and most people know that it sells some picture albums for people's entertainment. Why do you say it so harshly?" Lou Chenxiao looked at her suspiciously, but his heart sank.

Judging from the girl's reaction when she heard the voice next door just now, she knew that this was the first time she had encountered such a thing, so why was her comment on the album during the day so logical?
Moreover, she didn't even know that she opened a painting workshop in the garden just as a name, but actually sold some picture albums exclusively. How could she see the inadequacies in his picture albums?
Lou Chenxiao's words reminded Mi Congcong of his previous life when he occasionally heard the mysterious expressions of some young guests when they said they went to the garden painting workshop, and he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

It was only after a lifetime that she really understood why those people were so excited when they mentioned going to the garden painting workshop?Dare to love those people's minds at the time, there were some pictures that were not suitable for children!
"How is the business of your painting workshop?" Mi Congcong asked after a while, withdrawing his thoughts.

"It's not very good. The monthly profit is only one hundred and eighty taels, which is not enough for our expenses." Lou Chenxiao said depressedly.

"How long has your studio been open?" Looking at the painting skills in the album, Mi Congcong also expected that the business would not be very good.

"More than three months."

Mi Congcong glanced at the albums on the table, and then asked, "Are you drawing these albums yourself?"

"No, it's a painter who was invited to observe the paintings. It costs more than 200 taels of silver every month to hire this painter." Lou Chenxiao had questions and answers, but the more he talked, the more angry he became.

"This painter is famous enough, so I paid a lot of money to hire him from other places. After seeing the things he painted, I realized that the rumors outside were a bit exaggerated. The things he painted always did not meet my intentions, nor did he As a result, the sales of the albums that came out were not very good, and now I haven’t found a good artist, so I just use it.”

It was only after this girl reminded him that the crux of the poor sales of the album was that the artist he hired was originally good at landscape painting, and he was asked to paint figure paintings, and it was the kind of album that the artist thought would not be released. The realm you want is also normal.

Hearing that the painter required 200 taels a month, Mi Congcong cried out in pain: "How much do you need 200 taels for such poor painting skills?"

Seeing him nodding, Mi Congcong said angrily, "You might as well give me the money, and I'll help you draw!"

It's a good thing that he is willing to use his brain to do business, but she can't see it if he throws money into the water.

"Okay!" Lou Chenxiao said briskly, as if he was afraid that she would go back on his word, "If you can be my full-time painter, I will give you 300 taels a month!"

Perhaps it was because Mi Congcong knew that he was not really visiting the place of fireworks for women, but to make money, and Mi Congcong's previous anger disappeared, but seeing that he took her words seriously, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "You Think I'm as idle as you?"

Apart from business matters, she is also busy studying, so how can she have time to help him draw?

Besides, she couldn't do the thing of spying on other people's fun.

"Cong'er, I don't need you to stay here all day long. You only need to draw a few pages for me occasionally. When you finish drawing, I will find someone to help polish the pen, and then hand it over to the following painters for copying." Lou Chenxiao said.

"do not want!"

Mi Congcong refused without thinking.

Lou Chenxiao suddenly leaned forward to look at her, and teased: "Cong'er, is it because you are shy that you don't agree?"

Mi Congcong pushed away the monstrous face in front of him, and said sullenly, "I've already said I'm not free!"

"Cong'er, think about it, you only need to spend half an hour to an hour every day, and you can earn 300 taels of silver every month. This is much better than risking your life to catch ghosts, what do you think?"

The snake hit seven inches, he knew very well that this girl was short of money.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Mi Congcong was a little moved: "You said that you only need to paint for half to an hour every day?"

"Yes."

Mi Congcong hesitated. This guy just said that there are some painters under him who are in charge of copying. She spends a little time every day and can earn 300 taels a month. This deal sounds like she is not losing money.

After thinking for a while, Mi Congcong said again: "I can agree to be your full-time painter, but I have two conditions."

"Tell me." Lou Chenxiao smiled kindly.
