Chapter 124 The Value of Anise
Bangta City, shrouded in night, is far less noisy and lively than during the day. Except for some businesses that are still open at night, the entire city seems to have gradually fallen into a deep sleep.
If you look at it from a high altitude at this time, it must be dark below, and only a few places are lit up, unlike some cities on earth, which are brightly lit even at night.
Among the several lights that lit up, Xu Yi's home was also included.
Unlike ordinary candles, there is a magic lamp on the table in Xu Yi's living room now.
The light with a hint of green released through the light green glass cover not only illuminates the whole room transparently, but also props up his head with one arm and bows his head slightly to make a contemplative look. Thiel was even brighter and more beautiful.
Seeing that Steele still couldn't see any spots even under direct light, his fair and delicate skin was flawless, Xu Yi couldn't help but admire: "Steer, in fact, I think you can do it for the Chanel Chamber of Commerce. Spokesman. Advertising with a skin like yours is guaranteed to make Chanel Chamber of Commerce perfumes and powders even bigger than ever!"
Although Steele still kept his posture and the expression on his face basically unchanged, he snorted softly from his nose and lightly opened his red lips: "It's useless to please me. If you don't tell me about this elf Why would I follow you, I won't forgive you."
Xu Yi glanced at Anise who was opposite Steele, holding a drawing board in her hand, concentrating on drawing, and replied with a wry smile: "Didn't I tell you when I was having dinner, she came to me to help you solve it. The reason their clan encounters problems, the reason why they follow me is to wait for me to deal with the affairs here, and then take me to their clan. You say so. Anise?"
"Ah?" Yanis was concentrating on painting when she suddenly heard Xu Yi mention her name, raised her head to look at Xu Yi, and nodded blankly. "Ah. Yes."
I saw Anise's appearance. Steele snorted again: "Xu Yi, if you want to collude with her, you should at least put some thought into it. Do you think I will believe it like this?"
Xu Yi couldn't help crying.
"We're not prisoners, so what confessions are we making?"
Xu Yi just wanted to explain again. But suddenly saw a trace of sadness on Steele's face, and when his heart moved, he couldn't say the next words.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
Xu Yi stared at Steele for a long time, then suddenly said: "Steel, I heard from the great magician Camilla, the night I came back from Anweimar City, you personally cooked a few dishes to think about. invite me to your house for dinner?"
Steele's face froze. Immediately, he said indifferently: "You didn't come that day, and I fell down. Why did you suddenly talk about this?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered and wanted to say thank you." Xu Yi said. "In this world. Apart from Vivian, it's the first time someone else cooks a meal at home and invites me to dinner. I'm very happy."
Sitting beside Xu Yi, Vivienne, who had been silent for a while, narrowed her eyes and smiled with a little smugness on her face.
Steele couldn't keep his posture any longer, raised his head in surprise and asked, "First time? Never before?"
"No." Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that although it has happened on earth, it is indeed the first time in this world.
Steele seemed to know Xu Yi for the first time, looked up and down Xu Yi several times, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face: "Well, for the sake of your gratitude, I will forgive you this time. In addition, I will give you a privilege. If you want to eat the dishes I made in the future, let me know at any time, and I will cook them for you. Of course, this privilege is only available once, so you should cherish it and use it.”
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile: "That's a big thank you." Seeing the happy smile on Steele's face, he couldn't help but sigh: "Steer, I take back what I said in the afternoon. Although you are quiet and elegant. The side of you is also very good, but I still prefer to see you smiling happily. I don’t know why, when I see you smiling, I feel much more at ease.”
A blush appeared on Steele's pretty face, and he rolled his eyes at Xu Yi, scolding lightly, "Fool..."
Just when Xu Yi and Steele both fell into an inexplicable emotion, Yanis suddenly slapped.
"All right."
"Okay? So fast?" Steele put down his arms in surprise, got up and came to Anise's side, took a look at the drawing board in Anise's hand, and immediately exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
Xu Yi suddenly burst into laughter: "Hey, Steele, it's you who is painted on it, you don't need to be so narcissistic, right?"
Steele glared at Xu Yi, snatched the drawing board from Yanice's hand, and turned over to face Xu Yi: "Don't you think it's beautiful?"
"Of course I think..." Xu Yi's eyes fell on the drawing board, and he was immediately fixed on the drawing board as if he was attracted by a magnet, and he didn't want to move away at all.
In this painting, Steele rests his left elbow on the table, his palm supports his left face, and his right hand rests on the tabletop. He stretches out two fingers and slides on the tabletop, with a lazy expression, as if thinking about something. It's like he's not thinking about anything.
Beside the table, there is a magic lamp that emits a faint green light, and a faint green light shrouds Steele's body, adding a mysterious atmosphere to Steele, making people involuntarily feel I just want to know, why is this girl showing such a puzzling look?
Compared with the picture that Master Anlissos took in the afternoon, this picture is clearer on the lines, and it also depicts the expression on Steele's face more vividly. In terms of composition and artistic conception, it is better than Anlissos. Master Si's picture is much stronger.
What makes Xu Yi even more satisfied is that the background selected is late at night, and the tone of the whole picture is determined by the green light emitted by the magic lamp. No one can ignore this magic lamp that plays a key role.
And because the shape of this magic lamp was originally determined by Yanice and Vivian, Yanice knew the shape of this magic lamp better than anyone else, so she also drew it. It is even more handy, and can fully reflect the extremely delicate and beautiful shape of this magic lamp, so that everyone's eyes only need to move from Steele to this magic lamp. immediately attracted to it.
Even Xu Yi himself couldn't help but want to buy a magic lamp after seeing this picture, which shows the power of this picture.
After carefully appreciating the picture more than ten times, Xu Yi gave Yanis a thumbs up without hesitation: "It's so well drawn! Yanis. You are truly a born painter!"
Yanis shook her head and said, "If it wasn't for Miss Steele being beautiful enough. This magic lamp is just as beautiful, I'm afraid this picture wouldn't be so good."
Hear Anise compliment her beauty. Steele suddenly felt that his behavior just now was a little ridiculous.
Steele is a cheerful and open-minded girl, after thinking of this. Immediately, I felt that Yanice didn't look so unpleasant, and even her long pointed ears looked very interesting at this time.
"Yannis, you are too modest. I think this painting can be viewed as a work of art." Steele praised Yanice.
Yanis actually didn't know what modesty was, she just expressed her true thoughts, but the praise from Xu Yi and Steele still made her very happy.
certainly. Xu Yi was happier than the two of them.
Now it has been proved that Yanis really has a higher artistic talent than Master Anlissos, so Xu Yi does not have to continue to tolerate this Master Anlissos in the future.
If Master Anlissos still ignores his investor's request as he did in the afternoon, then Xu Yi can definitely end the cooperative relationship between the two parties without hesitation and let him get out.
But there is also a premise. That's how to keep Anise.
If Yanis had made Xu Yi treat her differently before because of her elf status, now Xu Yi found out that Yanis herself had enough value to make his heart move.
Anise, who has amazing artistic talent, can not only replace the work of Master Anlissos, but also cooperate with Vivienne to design a sufficiently beautiful and attractive appearance for the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Don't underestimate the appearance design of products. On the earth with highly developed industrial technology, in fact, the technology of many products has long been mature enough, and the differences between them are often reflected in the appearance.
An excellent exterior design is likely to make a product stand out and even create higher value for the product.
Sometimes, depending on the appearance alone, the price of the same product will be very different.
Although the magic industry has just started on the Sainz Continent, but taking precautions, Xu Yi still will not let go of such an excellent exterior designer who came to the door.
However, the identity of Anis as an elf was a big obstacle.
Compared with the dwarves, the gap between the elves and humans is even greater.
Occasionally, some of the dwarves will come to live in human cities, but basically none of the elves.
How to convince Anise to agree to work at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is a big problem.
"Yanis, after your tribe's problems are resolved, will you come to live in Bangta City?" Xu Yi asked tentatively.
Yanis looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "Why do you want to live in Bangta City? Of course I want to go back to the tribe."
"Sure enough..." Xu Yi muttered, and continued to ask unwillingly to give up: "Then under what circumstances would you be willing to live in Bangta City? Well, let's be honest, I want to hire you as a new recruit for us. Would you like to work in the Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Steele looked at Xu Yi in amazement: "Xu Yi, even if Anise draws better than Master Anlisos, she is an elf..."
Yanis shook her head gently: "Thank you, President Xu, for your invitation, but I prefer to live with the clansmen."
Xu Yi was bored for a while, then suddenly said, "Then what if I ask you to be paid to me after helping your tribe solve the problem?"
Steele and Vivian looked up together and looked at Xu Yi in shock.
Is he kidding?
However, Anis met the gazes of the three, but nodded calmly.
"If President Xu asks, I will."
