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.
