Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 366 - 365: Portrait
Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Portrait
"Mr. Four Eyes, why don’t you draw a front view of your ’Girl with the Back Turned’?"
"Even a simple one would do, at least we can make out some contours or something, maybe Wang Dao and I will have a stroke of inspiration and remember her?"
Because both Su Mu and He Qiya were calling him ’Four Eyes,’ Zhou Lina had to address Four Eyes somehow when speaking to him.
The title ’Mr. Four Eyes’ would just have to do for now.
"Mr. Four Eyes?"
Four Eyes was somewhat taken aback. What kind of nickname was this?
Back when his classmates called him ’Four Eyes,’ he actually found it quite endearing.
Now being called "Mr. Four Eyes," it sounded so awkward no matter how he heard it.
Four Eyes looked to Su Mu, somewhat pleading for help, but the smile on Su Mu’s lips made it even clearer how bizarre this ’Mr. Four Eyes’ was.
"Su Mu."
Four Eyes did not want to hear ’Mr. Four Eyes’ anymore. With no choice, he couldn’t correct Zhou Lina’s phrasing on the spot.
After all, he had accepted the nickname ’Four Eyes’ very willingly when Su Mu and He Qiya used it.
"My classmate’s surname is Mu."
Having been classmates and friends with Su Mu for three years, Four Eyes’ little mind trick was not lost on Su Mu.
He reintroduced Four Eyes on the spot.
There was no need for Su Mu to say Four Eyes’ full name, as Zhou Lina and Wang Yiming would not likely call him by his name directly.
Just knowing the surname was enough for a proper address.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Mu, would it be convenient for you to draw a rough sketch?"
Upon hearing Su Mu’s words, Zhou Lina immediately changed how she addressed him.
After all, the ’Mr. Four Eyes’ title was just as awkward for Zhou Lina herself.
It was only for lack of a better option that she had used it.
Now with the big surname from the chubby guy, of course, Zhou Lina knew how to switch her phrasing.
"A portrait? My art skills are just moderate."
The address was now more pleasant to the ear, but Zhou Lina’s request had put Four Eyes in a difficult position again.
Four Eyes’ academic achievements were average.
’Academic’ did not just include the main subjects, but also side subjects like art and music, where Four Eyes could barely scrape by.
For Four Eyes, who naturally had no special talents and did not need to rely on these skills to make a living, of course, there was hardly any motivation to put much effort into learning them.
As a result, when it came to crunch time, Four Eyes would start to falter.
So, Zhou Lina’s request for Four Eyes to draw a simplified portrait of the girl with her back turned was indeed quite a challenge for him.
"It doesn’t have to be too precise, just draw us a rough sketch for starters, and I’ll get the staff to help with the selection."
"Mr. Mu, the selection for the most beautiful girl yesterday was a major talent show by Xinghuan Entertainment this year."
"There were so many participants that it’s going to be tough to find a starting point without a clue; you might have to sift through those hundreds of profiles yourself."
"If that’s the case, you’ll probably have to come to Xinghuan Entertainment for the next few days."
Zhou Lina analyzed the situation clearly. If Four Eyes couldn’t provide any information, he would have to search through the profiles himself.
Since Four Eyes was the only one who had seen the girl’s face, no one else, even if willing, could assist in the search.
Of course, if there were a portrait, then the staff could join in the selection process.
This would at least significantly reduce the workload when the time came.
Originally, Zhou Lina thought that Four Eyes really had a photo of the girl with the back turned, which would have made it unnecessary to make a slow selection. It would be enough to have the staff recognize her together.
Unfortunately, the photo Four Eyes provided turned out to be just a back view, truly a genuine mystery girl.
Since that was the case, Zhou Lina felt that even if Four Eyes just drew a simple sketch, they could still eliminate a large number of contestants who clearly didn’t match.
With fewer profiles remaining, Four Eyes shouldn’t need to spend much time making a selection.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try."
Four Eyes, having heard Zhou Lina’s suggestion, also thought it made a lot of sense.
If he couldn’t provide any information himself, then it really would be up to Four Eyes to sift through hundreds of profiles slowly.
Just thinking about it gave Four Eyes a headache.
It wasn’t that Four Eyes wasn’t willing; he simply couldn’t afford the delay.
Four Eyes’ WeChat Moments post the day before was initially meant to gather some encouragement from friends who saw it.
It was also supposed to boost Four Eyes’ courage to pursue the girl in the photo.
Unexpectedly, instead of achieving its intended purpose, it had turned into everyone hounding Four Eyes to see when he would fulfill his bold declaration.
Four Eyes had stated seven days on WeChat Moments.
One day had already passed yesterday, which meant today was the second day.
But so far, Four Eyes had not a single clue about the mystery girl.
How could he make the girl his girlfriend if he hadn’t even found her?
Four Eyes knew that if he really had to search through the profiles slowly, it would probably waste another two or three days.
Having no choice, Four Eyes could only steel himself and try.
In his heart, he prayed fervently that the likeness he drew would be clear enough for others to recognize.
"Mr. Su, Miss He, Mr. Mu, please come to my office, it’s more convenient to draw there."
When Four Eyes agreed to do the sketch, Zhou Lina quickly invited Su Mu and the others to move to her office.
He Qiya glanced at Su Mu and, after receiving a nod of approval from him, she gave Zhou Lina a nod as well.
"This way, please."
Having received affirmation from two important figures, Zhou Lina gestured for them to follow.
Of course, at this point, Four Eyes’ attitude didn’t matter.
Zhou Lina didn’t even bother to check whether Mr. Mu was willing to go to her office.
Zhou Lina believed it wasn’t an issue at all.
If Mr. Su had given his nod of approval, how could there be a problem with Mr. Mu?
Four Eyes, accustomed to this pattern, didn’t give it a second thought and followed Su Mu and He Qiya to Zhou Lina’s office.
"Mr. Su and his group have left; what could this be about?"
"How should I know? If you could walk through the situation like Xiao Dong did with Mr. Su, you’d know, right?"
"Xiao Dong already tried that approach. If I do it again, wouldn’t it be too obvious?"
"Then why ask? We’ve all been standing here; none of us know what’s happening with Mr. Su." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"It seems they’ve probably gone to Manager Zhou’s office. Let’s wait until Mr. Su’s business is finished and then ask Manager Zhou’s assistant."
"Let’s disperse, let’s disperse. Standing here we can’t see Mr. Su anymore. If the higher-ups see us not training and huddled here, we’ll get scolded again."
With the departure of Su Mu and He Qiya, the crowd that had gathered also dispersed.
Everyone understood that at this moment, there was no way for them to get more information.
Everything would have to wait until the young master of the Su Family Group left, after which they might be able to learn some specifics from those in the know.
