235 The Daily Life of the Painting Shop 2

Chapter 235 Daily life in the painting shop 2

"It's a good idea you have! But, where can we get so many supplies?" the old store manager asked.

In this era, it doesn’t mean that you can buy supplies if you have money.

A small amount is fine, and you can go to the pigeon market to buy some.

However, this is a welfare payment. Where can I get dozens or hundreds of welfare benefits?

"Mr. Wu, you have forgotten that I used to work in the Materials Bureau.

It's just some New Year's goods.

You are responsible for tallying up the list, and I will be responsible for the supplies." Zhang Junping said in a very casual and confident manner.

But the old store manager looked at it and wanted to beat someone up, it was just some New Year's goods?

In the past, he had headaches for these things every two days every year.

Those old friends had no choice but to give away their own calligraphy and paintings as gifts.

He said he was a literati and elegant, but in fact, he also wanted to give something tacky but affordable. The problem was, he had to be talented.

"Okay! Some of my old friends should really send me some love.

I thought, I often go to their place to enjoy the autumn breeze." After the old store manager cursed, he said with a carefree smile.

"Please also ask Mr. Wu to compile the list as soon as possible so that I can prepare supplies."

"I wonder what materials you have prepared, Xiao Zhang?"

"Rice, flour, soybean oil, hairtail fish, prawns, cotton cloth, and mountain products from the Northeast." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Haha...ha! Now I feel more and more that the boss made a wise decision by transferring you to be the store manager!" the old store manager said with a smile.

After seeing off the laughing old store manager, Zhang Junping took off the dried rice paper and put it aside.

Continue to replace it with a five-foot single strip of rice paper.

Rice paper is also divided into models, including three-foot, four-foot, five-foot, six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot, nine-foot and other models.

Then it is divided into full opening, single strip, horizontal batch, couplet, square opening, three opening, four opening, six opening and eight opening.

Mainly for the convenience of writing different works.

What Zhang Junping held was a five-foot strip, one meter and a half long and forty-two centimeters wide.

Zhang Junping picked up a large wolf brush and wrote eight big characters: Be careful to end as you began, and you will never fail.

This is a saying from Lao Tzu.

It has the same meaning as never forgetting the original intention.

A pair of horizontal plaques and a pair of calligraphy and paintings should be enough, but more than enough is not enough.

It is true that my father-in-law has made a name for himself, but if his calligraphy and paintings are hung all over the house, it would be a bit excessive.

Zhang Junping took his calligraphy and paintings and went to the framing studio next door.

"Master Qin, could you please frame it?

Just use the horizontal axis."

Master Qin is the person in charge of the framing studio and the most powerful framing master in the painting shop.

Not only is he good at painting and framing, he is also good at maintaining and restoring ancient paintings.

It is said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ancestors of the Qin masters were specialized in antique calligraphy and painting.

"Okay, Manager Zhang!

Just leave it to me, Lao Qin!" Master Qin readily agreed.

"Tsk! Manager Zhang, your calligraphy and painting are no worse than Mr. Wu's!

Someday, I have to ask you to write a calligraphy for me, Old Qin, so that I can keep it as a family heirloom." Master Qin took Qin Yuanchun Snow's calligraphy and painting and praised it loudly.

As soon as Master Qin said this, several other framers and apprentices also gathered around the filter to see if the new store manager was really that good at handwriting, or if he was just flattering Lao Qin.

After reading it, there was naturally a lot of praise and praise.

"OK OK!

Masters, if you continue to praise me, I will be really proud!" Zhang Junping smiled and cupped his hands at several framers, jokingly saying.

After a few more jokes, Zhang Junping returned to his office.

After taking a sip of tea and calming down, I got up and went to the old store manager's office.

"Xiao Zhang is here?

Come, take a look at my handwriting!" The old store manager was working on his creations. When he saw Zhang Junping coming in, he greeted with a smile.

"I just read Qinyuan Spring Snow written by you, and I was also inspired by it."

Zhang Junping took a closer look and saw that the old store manager also painted the bleak Great Wall and the autumn scenery of wild geese flying south. He also wrote Mao Zu's words: Qing Ping Le. Liupan Mountain

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and you can see the geese flying south.

If you don't get to the Great Wall, you are not a true man. It only costs 20,000 yuan to travel.

…………

"Mr. Wu, you are still very sharp with your writing. With these few strokes, you brought a picture of the autumn scenery of the Great Wall to life.

It fully demonstrates the indomitable momentum of the wild geese flying south." Zhang Junping praised with a smile.

The old store manager is truly worthy of being the head of the Three Wus and the proud disciple of Mr. Shiraishi.

This calligraphy and painting is really incomparable to Zhang Junping's. It lacks a bit of skill and experience.

After writing the last word, the old store manager put down the pen and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not boast behind closed doors.

Did you come to see me for something?"

"There is something!

I want to transfer my two apprentices over." Zhang Junping said his request straight to the point.

"Xiao Zhang, there must be no problem on my side.

However, our art shop has never had personnel rights. In the past, Xinhua Bookstore assigned personnel.

Speaking of which, no one has entered our painting shop for twenty years.

The youngest in the past was Xiao Chen, who entered the painting shop at the age of fifteen. Now, she is already thirty-six or seventeen years old this year." The old store manager said with a nostalgic smile.

Seeing that Zhang Junping was a little confused, he knew what he was thinking and explained with a smile: "Those apprentices in the framing studio are not people from the painting shop.

They are all students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and came here for internship.

Those in our art shop, such as me and Master Qin, are actually working at CAFA and the Academy of Fine Arts, where they also teach students.

You see everyone is here, including me, who stays in the painting shop every day. That's because school is on holiday now.

In the past, during normal teaching, Lao Qin and I did not often stay in the painting shop.

I only come here one or two days a week, while Lao Qin and the others take turns working in the painting shop."

Only then did Zhang Junping realize that the old store manager’s job in the painting store was more like a part-time job.

Teaching and educating talents is the main job of the art academy

No wonder the people in the painting shop didn't show much resistance to his arrival.

It turns out that except for the salesperson, finance department, and warehouse manager, everyone else is part-time.

"Old store manager, originally I planned to transfer their relationship directly.

Listening to what you said, I think I'll use it as a secondment for the time being.

Once the city approves the plan, we will move in together.

The future development of the art shop involves many aspects.

Our organizational structure also needs to be improved.

The personnel department, office, logistics department and various business departments must be established." Zhang Junping slowly organized his words and said to the old store manager.

"You can go ahead and do these things, I've decided not to hinder you.

When necessary, I can also come forward and find the leader." The old store manager said with a kind smile.

Although the old store manager doesn't look like much, he seems to be an ordinary little old man.

But he is a serious professor at BJ Painting Academy and enjoys special allowances.

In the art shop, he is a sweeper-level figure.

"Thank you Mr. Wu for your support. With your backing, I have more confidence in doing things." Zhang Junping said sincerely.

Back in the office, Zhang Junping called the Purchasing Department of the Materials Bureau and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.

Colleagues from the Purchasing Department are still waiting to attend Zhang Junping’s farewell banquet.

Finally, Zhang Junping revealed his purpose, "Sister Liu, please let Xiao Li and Xiao Xia borrow it from me for a few days."

"Manager Zhang, you are so reluctant to let go of your apprentices, why don't you just transfer them over?" Sister Liu said with a smile.

"Sister Liu, I have already agreed on the transfer, but isn't it the end of the year?

I will be seconded for the time being and will be officially transferred after the spring of next year." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

The reason why he was not transferred a year ago was because Zhang Junping just remembered something.

It's the end of the year, and the Bureau of Materials and Materials is going to give out bonuses, and there are so many benefits.

You may not care, but your apprentice does.

That's a lot of stuff, and the bonus is quite a lot, at least two months' salary.

"Sister Liu, I am seconding you, you can't deduct their benefits and bonuses!" Zhang Junping said jokingly.

"You, Store Manager Zhang, still care about this little thing? If you slip something casually between your fingers, it is no more valuable than any welfare bonus." Sister Liu teased me.

"That's different!" Zhang Junping laughed.

I chatted with Sister Liu for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Sitting behind the desk, drinking tea, and thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with me staying in the office.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Junping got up and went to the old store manager's office, said hello and left the painting store.

Riding a bicycle to Xinhua Bookstore.

After walking around, I found that Xinhua Bookstore actually had many rare ancient books for sale.

Some were printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some were printed during the Republic of China, and there were even printed books for sale during the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Junping was not polite and directly bought all the rare ancient books he saw, whether they were printed in the Qing Dynasty or printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Today is not a weekend, so there are not many people in Xinhua Bookstore.

There are twos and threes, mostly students.

Use the pocket money given by your family to buy an extracurricular book.

Zhang Junping became very eye-catching.

In fact, even on weekends when there are many people, it is still eye-catching.

People always buy two copies.

It's not like him, who just goes to the checkout counter one by one.

"Comrade!" Just when Zhang Junping turned around and picked up the second pile of books, a salesperson stopped Zhang Junping.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"Comrade, which unit do you belong to? Are you sure you buy all these books?" Zhang Junping was dressed like a cadre, so the salesperson did not regard him as a troublemaker, but just confirmed whether he really bought it.

"Comrade, I want these books and all these." Zhang Junping pointed to the ground and picked out the books and said with a smile.

"Are you buying this book for your company? Which company do you belong to?" the saleswoman asked curiously.

"I am from BJ Painting Store, and I bought these books for myself." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"I know BJ Painting Shop. It used to be a subordinate unit of ours, but now I heard that it is being moved away by the local government.

You bought so much, can you come here to see it?" The salesperson enthusiastically helped Zhang Junping move the books.

Years ago, handsome boys were as popular as beautiful girls.

"Look carefully, many of the books here are out of print or about to be out of print.

I’ll buy it and take it home and take a look at it.” Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Then you must be very knowledgeable, right? Are you a college student who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts?" The little girl was very talkative and said this to Zhang Junping while helping him move books.

"I am not a college student. It is precisely because I have never gone to college that I have to study more and enrich myself."

"You really love learning." The salesperson praised with a smile.

Not to mention, the little girl has a pretty pretty smile, a very pure smile, which is very contagious.

"It's not bad! When I was in school, I didn't like studying. It was only after I started working that I realized the importance of studying." Zhang Junping responded to the salesperson's words casually.

He could tell that the little girl had a good impression of him and was very bold, daring to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, Zhang Junping did not dare to provoke the other party.

Such a little girl must not be messed with, once she is messed with.

Her passion will be like a moth flying into a flame, burning herself into a ball of fire and burning the other person into ashes.

Therefore, although Zhang Junping is used to talking nonsense, he can still tell who is right.

His flirting only targets young married women.

They are all married people and have met each other before. Most of them would not take a few harmless jokes seriously.

Zhang Junping picked a lot of books and hugged him more than a dozen times before he finished them.

After paying the money, Zhang Junping felt a little worried.

I originally planned to buy a dozen books to enrich my bookcase.

The bookcases in the office are empty and unsightly.

It was inconvenient to take out the books in the space, so I came to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books.

As a result, I didn’t stop the car all of a sudden and bought more than 200 books. How to get them back?

"Turn left when you go out. Not far away, there are often carts waiting to bring goods." Seeing Zhang Junping's dilemma, the salesperson enthusiastically paid Zhang Junping's attention.

"Thank you, comrade!" Zhang Junping thanked him and went out to call a truck.

Help yourself to take the books to the art store, because Xinhua Bookstore is not far from the art store, they are both on the same street.

Therefore, the cart driver only needs 20 cents.

When they arrived at the painting shop, Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen were very enthusiastic. They called several framing apprentices down and helped Zhang Junping move the books upstairs.

"Manager Zhang, why did you buy so many books?" Chen Lijun asked with a smile.

"I'm not pretending to be a cultured person! Our art shop is also a place where literati gather. If I don't have any books in my office, how can I be embarrassed to deal with those literati?" Zhang Junping said jokingly.

"Giggle! Manager Zhang, what a sense of humor!" Chen Lijun giggled at Zhang Junping's words.

"Sister Chen, I am telling the truth! Compared to our old store manager, I am just a layman who smells like copper. Buy some books and let the smell of books dilute the smell of copper." Zhang Junping explained seriously.

It made some older ladies laugh out loud.

Several elder sisters helped organize the books one by one and put them on the bookshelves in categories.

"Thank you Sister Chen and Sister Guo. There are so many books. Without your help, I would have to break my legs to carry them up." After finishing, Zhang Junping politely thanked me.

"Manager Zhang, there's no need to be polite to us. We are all common people and we just like a tacky leader like you. I'll just give you a few more benefits during the Chinese New Year." Guo Meizhen said with a hearty smile.

"Okay! That's no problem!" Zhang Junping also laughed and said: "Such a tacky request must be met!"

While they were joking with Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen, a lady on duty downstairs walked into the office with two people, "Manager Zhang, these two young comrades said they were your apprentices and came to report to you."

"Master!"

"Master, we are here!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang walked into the office and shouted excitedly.

"Sister Zhao, they are indeed my apprentices, please excuse me." Zhang Junping thanked Zhao Yali first, then looked at Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang and said with a smile: "You guys came very quickly!"

"Master is calling, we must come quickly!" Li Wenjuan playfully stepped forward and took Zhang Junping's arm.

"Come, let me introduce you to them. These two are Sister Chen and Sister Guo. The person who is sending you up is Sister Zhao."

"Aunt Chen, Aunt Guo, Aunt Zhao!" Li Wenjuan said hello one by one with a sweet mouth.

Xia Guoxiang then called people and said hello.

"You usually study hard downstairs with your Aunt Chen. The work in the art shop is different from your work in the Materials Bureau." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"I understand, Master!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang agreed loudly.

Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen saw that master and apprentice Zhang Junping had just met and they probably had a lot to say, so they said goodbye and went downstairs very discerningly.

"Since you are willing to follow me to the painting shop, you will have to change your original working ideas in the future.

Next year the art shop will be transformed into an art company, specializing in the promotion of art.

Since you are engaged in art work, whether you manage or promote art in the future, you must have a certain understanding of art.

I will give you a new learning task, which is to practice calligraphy. After you go home every day, write a big calligraphy article and give it to me the next day.

In addition, because we want to sell our works of art abroad, we must understand English. Please take the time to sign up for an English training class and have a surprise training in English. You are not required to be proficient in English, but at least you can communicate with the foreign devils.

There will be no problem as long as the conversation is okay.”

"Ah! Master, do you still need to learn English?" Li Wenjuan pouted and shouted.

"Haha! What's going on here? Not only do you have to learn English, but next year I will also send you to the Academy of Fine Arts to learn some basic knowledge of art with the students from the Academy of Fine Arts.

I don’t require you to have high achievements in calligraphy or painting, but you still need to have certain artistic qualities." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Okay, don't be so sad. Xiaoxia, go to a woodware factory and just do what I said and ask Director Yang to send you a Huanghuali bookcase to match this one.

Send four more chairs and two coffee tables." Zhang Junping explained.

"I understand, Master!" Xia Guoxiang quickly agreed.

"By the way, talk to Factory Director Yang. He said that I will have a batch of rice, flour and soybean oil shipped here in two or three days. Ask him how much he wants."

After Xia Guoxiang left, Zhang Junping smiled at Li Wenjuan and said, "You should learn more from the salesmen below. Even though they are just salesmen, they have worked in the painting shop for more than 20 years, and they know everything about calligraphy and painting."

Very good at it.

You have a sweet mouth, please learn more from them."
