Finally, she exchanged contact information with Han Qingqiu. As for what to do to ensure the effect while keeping her from showing up, that's up to their team.
Ye Qingning never bothers anyone.
Things went much smoother than expected. It was still early when we came out of the building.
"Miss Ye!" Egret chased her from behind.
"Miss Egret, what's the matter?" Ye Qingning supported the panting Egret.
"Today...what happened today...thank you..." Bailu tried hard to control his breathing.
"Today?" Ye Qingning paused, "Oh~ Miss Bailu, I'm not speaking for you."
Ye Qingning patted her shoulder.
"What?" Egret raised his head. Ye Qingning's small face was covered by a mask, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.
"You are excellent and everything is well organized. I feel very comfortable working with you. I am very happy that you can be the person in charge of my first project."
The egret opened its mouth, unable to say anything, and its cheeks were stained with a hint of blush, looking a little embarrassed.
"Where...how can..." She scratched her head. Different from her usual expression of trying to pretend to be mature, this seemed to be the most real version of her.
"This has happened before. They all chose my superior. I thought you also..." At this point, she scratched her head in embarrassment.
"However, this is also my first time to undertake a project, and I am honored to be your project leader. You are much younger than me, but I see calmness in you, and in my contact with you, I also Learned a lot.”
When the egret said this, his originally bright eyes dimmed a little.
"Now that the project is almost over, I hope I can be your person in charge again if I have the chance."
"Miss Bailu, be more confident. Even without me, you will become an outstanding person in charge."
Ye Qingning stretched out his hand. “A pleasure to work with.”
There was unconcealable excitement on the egret's face. She held Ye Qingning's hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"
After saying goodbye to the egret, Ye Qingning did not take him home first. Instead, after buying some things, he went to an alley rarely visited by people.
She carried things and walked around, and it was obvious that she was very familiar with the road here.
Soon, she stopped in front of a western courtyard. Some of the red paint on the door has fallen off, revealing the original appearance of the wooden door. She raised her head, held the assistant's title ring, clicked it lightly three times, waited for a while, and then pushed the door open and entered.
She did not enter the main hall, but went to the side room. After knocking on the door three times, a voice came from inside, and then he pushed the door open and entered.
"Put the things there and you're good to go." The old man leaned over the desk, and the brush dropped ink marks on the rice paper as his arm swung.
If someone comes in, they will definitely shout, "Isn't this Cai Zhi, Mr. Cai? A master of ink painting, a top master who can sell tens of millions of dollars for any painting!"
Ye Qingning put down the things, but did not speak, but stood there.
It seemed that no one answered, so Cai Zhi raised his head.
"Hey, what brought you little girl here today?"
Surprise flashed across the old man's face, and then he pretended to be serious.
Ye Qingning stood at the door with a slight smile on his lips. He looked gentle and well-behaved, not afraid of the old man's serious expression at all.
"It's not the Mid-Autumn Festival anymore. I miss Master, so I came to see you."
"Little girl, you are very sweet. She said she misses Master, but I haven't seen you even a few times during the whole summer vacation."
Ye Qingning didn't dare to refute, and immediately brought up the top bag of butter paper-wrapped stuff.
"Isn't this a gift for you to apologize for? There is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
"That time-honored brand?" Cai Zhi glanced at it pretending to be casual.
"Of course, it's still freshly baked."
Cai Zhi snorted, but his mood seemed much better. The old man put down his brush and waved to her.
Ye Qingning understood and immediately stepped forward to watch.
"Master, your painting skills are becoming more and more superb." Ye Qingning looked back and forth several times, wishing to find out all the small processing methods in the picture and keep them in mind.
"Come and see if you've regressed."
"Master, did you do this on purpose? You asked me to check my painting work after I saw your painting."
Ye Qingning's cheeks bulged, and the complaints in his words not only did not make the old man angry, but instead made him laugh.
"Little girl, only under pressure can you better stimulate your potential."
Ye Qingning sighed and walked to another table honestly.
This is her exclusive table, which Cai Zhi specially placed for her. For a while, she came to study every day.
Even though I haven't been here for a while, the table is still clean and spotless.
Ye Qingning passed his hand across the desk, his eyes full of softness. She laid out the rice paper and thought about something while grinding the ink. When the ink was ready, the pen began to move.
The old man glanced at her, his eyes full of relief. He took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Ye Qingning brought to him and sat by the window, eating it slowly.
One old and one young, each doing their own thing in this study.
When the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room, Ye Qingning, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head.
"Master." Ye Qingning looked at Cai Zhi. The bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake was empty. The old man was holding an album of paintings and looking at it with gusto.
"Okay?" Cai Zhi pushed up his reading glasses and walked over.
Ye Qingning stepped aside, a little nervous after a long time.
"Moon viewing picture?"
"Yes." Ye Qingning stood aside and answered Cai Zhi's question.
"The blank space is done well, but if the pen and ink here are lighter, the artistic conception will be more highlighted." Cai Zhi pointed out a few places, and Ye Qingning wrote them down one by one.
"It's okay, but it's still a bit backward."
"Yes, I have less time to practice." Ye Qingning admitted honestly and did not defend himself.
What Cai Zhi likes most is Ye Qingning's character.
He nodded, "Are you going to give it away?"
"Yes, an elder said something before that he wanted to give her a pair just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think, master?"
"Humph, it turns out I came here for a purpose." The old man's face became serious again.
"No way, besides, it wasn't Master who asked me to draw it?" Ye Qingning hugged the old man's arm and shook it.
"Little girl, you are a ghost!"
"I'll frame it for you when it's dry."
"Thank you, master."
"However, how have you considered the matter of openly recruiting disciples? Those old guys are annoying me every day, trying to find ways to recruit people for me."
"Didn't you find any good seeds?"
"Hmph!" Cai Zhi got angry when he said this.
"It's all based on a template, without any aura."
Ye Qingning couldn't make any judgments, so he kept silent.
"In a while."
"That's the excuse again!" The old man was obviously not satisfied with Ye Qingning's answer.
"It's true this time, but it's not the right time yet. Besides, didn't you say I've regressed? I don't have to practice any more, so as not to embarrass you!"
Cai Zhi knew Ye Qingning's personality and would not agree to anything he was unsure of. If you can say these words, the matter of accepting a disciple will be settled.
Thinking of this, Cai Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
After not seeing Ye Qingning for a long time, Cai Zhi specially invited her to have dinner. By the time Ye Qingning returned, it was already very late.
"Ye An, are you going for a night run now?" Ye Qingning saw Ye An stretching in sportswear.
"not me."
"What?"
"It's us."
"You mean...you have to exercise today too?"
Ye An nodded. It's a transaction, so of course you have to be serious and responsible.
The corners of Ye Qingning's mouth drooped, but he didn't say much and went upstairs to change into sportswear. After learning the bad news, she naturally missed the smile on Ye An's lips.
