Chapter 250: An old man trying to trick a little girl. Shameless! (3)
Huo Sishen, sitting inside his office, was staring intensely at his cellphone.
He did not say a word.
And he missed not one comment that popped up on the screen.
Observing the principle of better safe than sorry, he had muted a few others shortly thereafter.
Someone said in a fawning tone, “Channel Master, look at me, look at me. Your hands are too pretty! Let me see what you look like!” Frivolous. Muted.
Someone said sarcastically, “This bowl is kind of ugly, for realz”… hurtful. Muted.
Someone said something meaningless, “I like your style, Channel Master. I would like to have a bowl like this too.” Dreamy. Muted.
Huo Sishen stared at it for half a day and his brows furrowed even more.
He heard Gu Shishi mentioned something about “being a picky eater”, “baby”…
Qin Ruhai was a picky eater?
He seemed to dislike carrots.
Baby? A 30-year-old old man?
Hrm!
“Boss, Dr. Qin asked what is a good time for him to come over tonight.”
Siyi’s voice came over the phone the table shortly.
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Never.
“Tell him to get!”
An old man pretending to be young to fool a young girl. Shameless!
Once the ceramics were done, they could not be picked up immediately.
The pottery would not be done for another week.
Even though Gu Shishi did not bring the items back with her and had no physical items to show others, many already knew that she had, once again, made handmade gifts to give out.
Some were happy about it and others, worried.
Gu Shishi happily posted in her friend’s circle. [So proud to be able to create with my own hands.]
And she received a few responses immediately.
[King of the Hill: Can I ask for a koi?]
Luo Zheng was eager to turn his life around.
[Li Yiru: Do you need someone to accompany you the next time to go to a pottery class? There’s a pretty good place by my house. The kind where you can go for afternoon tea.]
Li Yiru, who was on the verge of being driven insane by her father, was eager to befriend Gu Shishi.
[MeowMeow: Did you go with Chuchu? (bites own hand) (envious)]
Chen Kexin’s emoji clearly conveyed her emotions.
Before Gu Shishi even had a chance to respond, they have switched from friend’s circle to private messages.
Chen Kexin, in particular, could not wait.
She watched the direct stream and Gu Shishi had further posted her goldfish and old tree in spring time drawing on the clay on the Ink Painting Guru friend’s circle.
Needless to say, her grandmother saw them!
And, needless to say, her grandmother wanted to own them!
Not only was Gu Shishi’s painting skill at mastery level, as though she had been enlightened, she knew exactly what it was that her customers wanted.
A black and a red goldfish was a very lucky symbol.
Old tree in spring timefurther illustrated the symbolism of running into a dead end then finding a new way out. That made the old lady felt even luckier!
For collectors, in addition to collecting the life stories of the creators, it was also about collecting the symbolisms.
Not to mention that Gu Shishi had expressed her idea behind the The Magnanimous Bowl under her Ink Painting Guru’s WeChat account.
That made Old Mrs. Chen want it even more!
It didn’t matter whether the bowl was ugly or not. The value was in the painting!
She could found special and simple interest even from the startling look of the bowl!
[MeowMeow: My grandma said she wanted to get it for my 3-year-old nephew… for him to use during his meals. He is a picky eater and always needs people running around behind him to feed him and always have leftovers. She wants to have your bowl so that he could see the drawing on the bottom and will finish his meals every time!]
It wasn’t an easy task for Chen Kexin to be the go-between person.
Gu Shishi sweated when she read that.
The boss was…. Indeed, like a three-year-old?
They were both picky eaters!
After a little while, Old Mrs. Chen texted her personally.
As though she worried that her granddaughter wasn’t able to sufficiently communicate her intentions.
[Happy Chubster: Master, I would like a children series of these bowls. Do you think you will have time for that?]
[Happy Chubster: I wouldn’t want to take up too much of your time. I will have someone prepare the clay in advance. All you will need to do is to draw on them. As usual, you name your price.]
