Chapter 144 Excitement
Ge Fu frowned. "Why do I not understand? Master Villar just wanted me to paint a mural, but why did Xunlong Group add so many restrictions?"
If it was just about painting murals, she wouldn't have refused outright.
"Cheng Xin doesn't want to either, but Xunlong Group is not the only one in the market after all, especially since it is in such a precarious situation now because of her. It is easy to guess what Xunlong Group is thinking. They are unscrupulous businessmen who want to make the best use of things and would like to accomplish something worth one million with just one hundred dollars." Tan Xi said with a pout.
Ge Fu didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, as she had no friendship with the Wei family, but she thought of what Tan Xi had said before - her father had always taken care of Wei Ling during his lifetime.
Sighing, she said, "Tell them that I don't accept restrictions on subject matter. If we can work together, then we can do it. If not, then forget it."
"By the way, how much did they offer?" she asked again.
"Ten million." After all, the painting "Blue Castle" by his princess was sold at an auction for 65 US dollars, so in Tan Xi's opinion, this price was really good.
"No." Ge Fu shook his head and said, "This price is too low."
Although Tan Xi studied a major related to brokerage and had experience as a broker before, she only served writers before, so her understanding of the painters circle was still a little superficial. Of course, if Ge Fu did not have the experience in her previous life, she would also think that the other party's offer was very high.
But that’s not how it worked out.
Ge Fu explained to Tan Xi: "For the painter, the larger the painting, the more difficult it is and the more energy it requires. And the length of the mural is not small no matter how you look at it."
"This...how should the specific price be determined?" Tan Xi seemed a little bewildered after suddenly realizing it.
戈馥换算了一下后道：“3*3以内的篇幅不能价格不能低于一千五百万，5*3以内的篇幅价格不能低于三千万，10*3以内的篇幅不能低于八千万。”
Murals are really hard to paint. She only took two orders in her previous life, one of which was due to her mentor. It was also because of her outstanding performance that she got the next order.
In fact, it is risky to invite a painter to paint for you. If you are lucky, the painter will be in great shape, and the value of the work you paint will be much higher than the price. If you are unlucky, the painter will be in bad shape, and the work you paint will be a bunch of shit.
——This is not planning. If Party A is not satisfied, Party B can keep redoing it. If this is the case, how can the painters have the face?
In fact, Gofu didn't like accepting commissions to paint. She could understand those painters who had disputes with their employers or even went to court.
——After all, no one would like their works to be sold at a low price, not to mention that some painters treat their works as their children. If their children become successful, they will be even less willing to sell them at a low price.
In fact, the price that Ge Fu offered was a bit high in the market. After all, she had never appeared in the murals before, and the public had no knowledge of her ability in this area. If she wanted to compete for resources in this area, she would inevitably have to lower the price.
But the current situation is that the other party needs her help. In this case, Ge Fu is certainly not willing to lower the price.
——She herself knew that there was nothing wrong with her painting murals.
After all, painting murals is really hard work.
After she explained, Tan Xi nodded repeatedly, "Princess, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss."
Because of the old things mentioned by Tan Xi, Ge Fu suddenly became curious about his parents' affairs.
Just then, Yao Niang came to report something, so she pulled her aside and asked, "Yao Niang, are my father and Wei Xiao in a good relationship?" If not, it would be hard to explain his care for Wei Ling.
Hearing this, Yao Niang looked at You Niang with a subtle expression, then nodded and said, "Very good, your Highness is a bit timid. But she fell in love with Wei Xiao at first sight and took the initiative to pursue him. If Wei Xiao hadn't died, the two of them should have become a pair of immortal lovers."
After hearing this, Ge Fu's expression became a little subtle, "What about the relationship between him and my mother...?"
Yao Niang was about to speak, but You Niang interrupted, "It's all in the past. The Duke and His Highness are no longer around. Princess, please stop digging into the matter. It's disrespectful to our ancestors."
Ge Fu touched his nose and said, "Then I won't ask anymore." Gossiping about the dead, especially one's own parents, does seem to be a bit bad.
After Yao Niang left, You Niang sighed and said, "My princess, you don't need to delve into the matter between the Duke and His Highness. You just need to know that they both love you very much."
Ge Fu raised his eyebrows secretly. From what he said... it seemed that his parents' relationship was just average?
In the evening, Lu Yao sat in front of the computer playing games, while Ge Fu was reading the trial materials sent by Xiao Chen.
Lu Yao didn't care at first, but after taking a glance, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Cai Yanshan?"
"You know him?" Ge Fu was surprised. She had never mentioned this person to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao finally nodded and told the truth: "I used to be her bodyguard."
"Is this true?" Ge Fu looked up at him.
She had always thought that being a bodyguard was just a saying, but she never thought that she had actually been one.
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed. "Didn't Jinglong and Hengyang have a very tense relationship for a while a few years ago?"
Ge Fu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. At that time, international news was speculating that the two countries were going to go to war. The cause seemed to be that one of Jinglong's emotional therapists died on the border between the two countries, and they suspected that Hengyang was behind it.
"But what does this have to do with you becoming a bodyguard?" Ge Fu was puzzled.
Lu Yao touched his nose and said, "The Jinglong army has a tradition that every time before the army sets out, important generals must be examined to prevent accidents on the battlefield. At that time, it was found that a mid-level general in the army had a connection with Cai Wei from Hengyang. Although he was only a mid-level general, his position was very important, and he was good at battlefield reconnaissance. He controlled many confidential maps of the front line border. If there was a mistake in this kind of person, the superiors would naturally pay attention to it. It's just that it's very dangerous to sneak into Hengyang for investigation, so in the end this job fell on me."
"Wait!" Ge Fu opened his eyes wide, "What does 'related' mean?"
"The two of them had a conversation." Lu Yao coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, neither of them is a good person. The middle-level general has a family, and your General Cai is not much worse."
Ge Fu looked incredulous, "They... don't know each other's identity?"
"On the contrary." Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Although the two did not reveal it, they both vaguely guessed each other's identity."
"This..." Ge Fu couldn't understand, "If you know, then why do you still..."
"Isn't it obvious?" Lu Yao said with disdain: "It feels exciting."
Unexpectedly, Ge Fu asked sinisterly: "Could it be that you are with me just for excitement?"
