Chapter 241 – Was she about to go from fiancée to wife officially? (5)
[King of the Hill: I want to buy it!]
Luo Zheng’s hands itched again.
Typing in the streaming channel wasn’t enough. He went onto sending her a WeChat.
He even learned his lesson from his previous time and immediately transferred 10,000 yuan.
All he got was a coldhearted respond from Gu Shishi. [The one who had gone bankrupt should just watch. You are not in the position to purchase luxurious goods.]
Luo Zheng: ……
Ouch. That hurt.
It was only because he felt that the painting was very meaning.
It had come back from a state of destruction.
It was like a miracle!
The painting was very inspiring.
[Master Gu, I only wanted to buy it so I can learn from it. You can alter even objects, let alone humans. I want to buy it so I can inspire the Luo’s.]
[It is priceless.]
[I can buy it on credit.]
Gu Shishi turned of the streaming and thanked everyone for their donations.
[Mom and pop store. I don’t accept purchases on credits.]
[This painting cost 1,000,000 yuan.]
Luo Zheng: ……
Alright. Now he really can’t afford that!
He could only look at his cellphone and smiled bitterly. Refreshing Taobao repeatedly, he still held out a shred of hope that Gu Shishi was only joking.
Perhaps she’d only ask for 30,000 yuan, just like the chicken drawing before. He just might be the first person to grab it.
Soon, he really saw her posting it for 1,000,000 yuan, not a penny less.
And it was gone in a second.
Just one second and the product was gone.
“Shoot! Who was it?? How did they do that?! Was it Chen Kexin again???”
He frowned and grabbed his wrist.
But one second? He looked at the picture of the painting one more time.
Luo Zheng gasped as he gave it a closer look.
This pretty man in the painting looked somewhat familiar…?
After Gu Shishi had wrapped up her stream for the day, she placed her work onto Taobao as usual.
She has also posted it onto her WeChat with photos of different sizes and detailly listed out the size of the painting.
And added the link to Taobao.
Listed it at 1,000,000 yuan.
She narrowed her eyes.
She had been selling her paintings for 30,000 yuan.
But this one was different than the others. She could feel that it was done in her top condition. She didn’t even need alcohol to boost.
Her brush flowed in a carefree manner earlier and the beautiful man under her brush had good structure. His style was free but not his spirit.
Plus, she converted a surface full of random lines that couldn’t even be called a draft into an outstanding pretty man in ancient clothing
Hoho.
She was quite proud of herself and almost didn’t want to sell her work.
Thinking that her best work (the twelve-month of beautiful man after shower series) was confiscated made her sad.
She hadn’t even had a chance to take a good look at them and appreciate them the way that they deserved to be appreciated.
Which was why she was going to keep this altered painting for herself.
The brows, eyes, features, and body shape of the man in the painting did not resembling the man in real life much but his look and temperament was a replica of a certain boss.
His clothes were half opened and the sash hanging loosely from his waist.
Tsk, tsk…
Aiya. It was worthy of collecting!
Which was why Gu Shishi listed it at an “impossible” price.
Many shops on Taobao used this technique. When they wanted to attract eyeballs but not to actually sell the items, they’d list it for a ridiculously high price. Something that was way over the value of the item itself.
That way, nobody would ever purchase it.
Gu Shishi also felt that her Taobao shop never had enough products for sale.
Even though it was a business that required both inspiration and time, but it was a business after all. It’d be nice to always have 1 ~ 2 paintings on there.
Consumers should not only see “sold out”, “out of stock” whenever they came visit her store. She couldn’t have a store with nothing.
Gu Shishi thought she was being so smart coming up with that idea.
And that she was having a better business sense now than before.
After all, Taobao listed their items in descending order according to their prices. Her painting would be very noticeable to consumers.
If someone liked her work and followed her store, she’d gain another potential customer.
Besides, it was the first time she was posting a portrait. She’d also let the others know that she could also paint portraits and open up more doors for herself in the future.
Just when she was thinking about it, the Ink Painting Guru’s WeChat vibrated.
