Eternal Painter Swordsman
176. Business Abroad

Xia Xinxin returned to her home and saw that her house was empty, it was certain that her parents went to work, while she herself sat casually on the porch of her house and enjoyed the morning air that felt very cool.

Suddenly his phone rang which made his leisurely leisurely activities become interrupted by this person, Xia Xinxin could not help but be annoyed by this kind of thing.

Of course, who is not upset when he sees that his leisure time is disturbed by people. He saw that this number was unknown and this made him somewhat doubtful.

"Hello ?" Asked Xia Xinxin.

"Is this Miss Xia's Number ? The painter who painted the Night of War ? Introduce me is Robert and I got Miss Xia's number from my friend, Hua Yin. I think it's a bit disrespectful just that it's kind of urgent, I've been admiring you for the past two years just that there's no word from you. But I heard my friend say that you're active again. " Say the man on the phone.

Xia Xinxin was curious whether this was really the person who wanted to look for her or just an undercover con artist.

"Thank you very much for the time Mr. Robert took to enjoy my painting. " Say Xia Xinxin said calmly.

"Ha ha ha, this beautiful painting is truly a masterpiece ! Soon, my wife and I are getting married hoping that you can paint both of us and also come to our show. Take it easy, for the cost of the plane, the food and shelter we will already prepare and for the cost of painting Miss Xia, how much does Miss Xia want ?" Robert asked without hesitation.

"I don't know the level of difficulty, only I can estimate it by the size that Mr. Robert wants. "Xia Xinxin's Servant.

"I want a painting measuring 80 cm for height and 60 cm for width, for the price is not a problem for us. " Reply Robert.

Xia Xinxin thought about this for a moment, this was a size that was quite large and even included very large. His previous greatest work was at the same size and it took him about 8 days to complete.

"Sir Robert when do you want to use this painting ?" Asked Xia Xinxin.

"In 6 days from now. " Robert answered rather anxiously, seemingly afraid that he would refuse this request.

"Let's just say, I would usually ask for about 4 to 5 million dollars for a painting like this but since it's Mr. Robert's happy day then I'll take this as a gift, I'll give you half the price, 2 million dollars. " Reply Xia Xinxin after a long consideration.

"Miss Xia , this price is very low. It's our happy day, you don't have to be like this. " Said Mr. Robert.

"Take this as a form of my sincerity. " Xia Xinxin replied calmly.

"What about Miss Xia's account number ?" Ask Robert.

"I'll send it to Mr. Robert in five minutes. " Accounted Xia Xinxin.

They disconnected the phone and Xia Xinxin directly called Hua Yin for this.

"Do you want to ask about Robert ?" Hua Yin asked as the phone lifted.

"Hm, so that's really your acquaintance huh ?" Asked Xia Xinxin.

"Yes, don't waste this opportunity. After all he was the richest man under the age of 30, his father was the owner of a famous boutique brand. " Answer Hua Yin.

"really ?" Xia Xinxin asked in surprise.

"Of course, how could I possibly lie to you in this ? You will regret not knowing him. " Hua Yin replied enthusiastically.

"Then it's very good, I'll send him my account number. " Reply Xia Xinxin.

"How much did you give him ?" Hua Yin asked.

"Two million dollars. " Xia Xinxin replied casually.

"Are you crazy ?! Didn't expect that you would give such a low price for such a large painting, were you really doing charity work ?!" Shouted Hua Yin.

"Don't make me have to spend more money, some of this money doesn't really matter to me. As long as it can make me known to the crowd then this will be worth it. People who come there can certainly come from the elite, if I can introduce my work to them then I will not regret it at all. " Xia Xinxin replied casually and sent her account number.

"What you say is true as well. You are truly a genius. "Hua Yin suddenly felt that Xia Xinxin's way of thinking was very cunning.

Full of intrigue until it is very difficult to guess by a normal person, it was just that one thing that Hua Yin did not know was that Xia Xinxin really did not know before and deliberately gave a lower price but with this then his actions could be said to not make it regretting.

He looked around and found that his phone was vibrating indicating that a notification was already in. How surprised he was when the one in his account was 7 million dollars.

"I'll call you later, I'll call him first. " Sia Xinxin said hurriedly and disconnected the phone then she called Robert.

"Hello ? Has the money gone in ?" Ask Robert.

"It's too much, I'll send you the excess. "Xia Xinxin's Servant.

"Forget it, I forgot to tell you. The difficulty of this painting is quite high, having to use a gold-clad silk cloth as the background, not to mention with the diamonds that must be affixed, I will send you the design. " Said Robert.

"Well then, I beg you as soon as possible so that I can also work on it as quickly as possible. " Said Xia Xinxin.

Coupled with the layer of gold she wanted and also some embroidery and body parts of the bride and groom using real diamonds.

The total diamonds that will be used are about 125 small diamonds along the painting. Xia Xinxin calculated everything and felt that the price given included being reasonable.

Therefore he would have to search everything within today otherwise he was afraid that he would not have the time, especially since he was handling this matter alone.

He went out and went to the best fabric store in his town and went inside to meet the boss of this cloth shop owner.

"Miss Xia, long time no see. " Say the old man who is the boss of the cloth shop.

"Boss, I came here for an important reason. I want to look for silk cloth with gold thread, it takes about 2 meters. " Said Xia Xinxin.

He had to buy more to keep watch otherwise his fear would not be enough. He needed backup for fear that he would fail.

"Miss Xia, this is a very difficult request. But we will try to fulfill it. " Say the boss.

The old man called his assistant and got some information related to the thing Xia Xinxin wanted.

"Miss Xia, we can fulfill this only the fastest we can deliver today and the slowest tomorrow. The price per meter is just amazing. Each meter costs 50 thousand Yuan. " Say the boss.

Xia Xinxin looked towards the boss in surprise but in the end however this was the thing she had to do.

"Well, whatever it is I'll buy it. But I want it to arrive today as well, it can't be delayed anymore. Anyway I promised to someone else in the meantime I want a fabric that has diamond embroidery. " Said Xia Xinxin.

The boss invited her into a secret room and at that moment Xia Xinxin saw many fabrics beautifully embroidered.

Before he finally compared some of the cloth and found that a cloth was very beautiful, he was sure that Robert would like it.

This is also the most similar to what Robert wanted so he compared the two pieces of cloth.

"Boss I want this cloth one meter. " Said Xia Xinxin.

"It comes from a real diamond. The price is more expensive than the silk cloth earlier, one meter is 105 thousand Yuan. " Reply the boss hesitantly.

"I bought everything. " Reply Xia Xinxin.

After that he paid a very expensive price of around 205 thousand Yuan, the cloth problem was already finished. He had to find the paint, brush and canvas he wanted.

The wood used for the canvas should also be special. That is, sandalwood that can be used as a leg for his canvas.

Xia Xinxin walked into a very large stationery shop and found a great deal of paint for fabrics. But he had to look for a special one that was, silk cloth.

Paint for silk fabrics is more expensive than other paints, Xia Xinxin looked back at her painting and saw that she needed more than 24 colors then she had to look for the 48 colors to show a more complex picture.

Once he looked for a famous brand, he was surprised to see the price and almost fell in shock. Just this time he saw a very expensive paint. It's like painting for the rich.

He found that this was the best and the most expensive. The price of a set alone was over 250 thousand Yuan, with trembling hands he took the tool.

Then in addition, he was also looking for a color pen that can be used in silk cloth and can be applied well. He found that the same brand also existed and the price was just as surprising.

He took 24 colors and it was worth 70 thousand Yuan. In addition, he also needs a color marker to thicken around his image and choose to take from the same brand so that it is not difficult, therefore it is only for paint and the others alone he spent 420 thousand Yuan.

This was really the moment when he became so extravagant, it really hurt his heart. But anyway this is the thing he should do.

In a day, he spent over half a million Yuan. Not yet with any other necessities, he walked towards the brush for her.

He had not painted for three years then all the brushes he had were broken, so he chose a good and smooth brush, the quality was very good and he had used it before. The price of 45 thousand Yuan has 7 types of brush sizes, besides also choosing a simple palette.

He walked forward to find the canvas he needed, his own inexpensive canvas which was expensive was sandalwood which he used to be the foot of his canvas.

When she saw the various legs of the canvas, she felt like crying especially when that of sandalwood was put in plastic. He found that it cost around 30 thousand Yuan. He bought two to keep watch so he had to watch his work very carefully.

That way he spent another 110 thousand Yuan, this way he took out 735 thousand Yuan, not yet with a layer of gold that would be used to coat the legs of the canvas.

The gold used alone should be original 24 karat gold paper layer, each sheet measuring 8 x 8 cm, he should buy about...... Xia Xinxin counted each piece and found that she had to buy 12 pieces.

Each sheet is worth 7 thousand Yuan, if multiplied by 12 then it must take out 84 thousand Yuan, besides that he must also exaggerate if he fails.

In the end, Xia Xinxin filled her car with these countless items just for Robert's order. He had exerted all his strength, now he had to go to the diamond shop.
