Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Fangirl
"Don’t miss out on this exclusive offer, grand opening sale, artist sketches starting from 5 yuan!"
Tuanzi is not shy at all, waving the sketch in hand, cheerily inviting passersby.
"Pretty sister, would you like a quick sketch? A cute caricature is just 5 yuan!"
The young girl called out to turned slightly red, looked over, and to her surprise, it was a cute little kid.
The little girl smiled sweetly, her voice sugary.
"Sister, Miaomiao’s brother draws very well, come over and have a look first."
The girl walked over in a daze, took the sketch from Tuanzi’s hand, and was a bit surprised, "It’s quite good."
In the drawing, the little girl had a bun hairstyle, big eyes, a small mouth, with cheeks a bit chubby, looking exactly like the girl in front of her.
Looking at the artist again, wow, a campus heartthrob type of handsome guy, wearing a white shirt and a brown V-neck knitted vest.
Cute kid + handsome guy + good drawing skills.
The young girl quickly placed an order.
Gu Jiujiu saw this and got a bit anxious, he carried over the sugar painting, "Pretty sister, do you want a sugar painting? A small one is only 5 yuan, would you like one?"
Tuanzi hurriedly reminded him, "The small one is 3 yuan, 3 yuan!"
Gu Jiujiu quickly corrected himself, he was too hasty.
Tuanzi happily added for him, "The first 100 sugar paintings are on a discount, it would be such a pity to miss out, right?"
The young girl bought a small sugar painting as well.
The two little friends exchanged a smile once again.
Gu Chi is not an insider, but since Gu Ran is a top female star, some people are familiar with her face.
The young girl hesitated, "Are you Ms. Gu Ran?"
Gu Ran pursed her lips and smiled slightly, quickly drew a bird with spread wings for her, and handed it over.
"Thank you for your patronage."
The young girl was a bit surprised.
Many people say Gu Ran is a cool goddess, but this doesn’t seem cool at all, no airs, and she’s putting forth a great attitude since she’s earning money.
The opening was a success, the two kids were full of enthusiasm, continuing to shout at the top of their lungs.
"Grand opening sale, first 100 sugar paintings starting at 3 yuan!"
"Beautiful portraits starting at 5 yuan!"
A few videographers carrying cameras were quite eye-catching, and seeing the two cute kids bouncing around, many passersby in the commercial street gradually gathered around.
Everyone didn’t know Gu Chi, they just thought he was handsome and the art skills weren’t bad either. Gu Ran was different, being a regular on the big screen, she had many movie fans, some weren’t even her fans but felt her face was familiar.
Upon asking the price, it was quite low, at least much lower than other things in the commercial street.
A line gradually formed.
Tuanzi looked at this scene with satisfaction, "A very prosperous start to the business!"
Gu Jiujiu nodded in agreement, "Today we should make a lot of money, right?"
"Definitely a lot! When there are more people, Miaomiao will also perform!"
Then, two young girls came over and, upon seeing Gu Miaomiao, their eyes lit up.
"Miaomiao, I am your fan!"
The sudden loud voice startled Tuanzi.
Gu Chi, who was drawing at the moment, glanced over, frowning slightly without intending to.
"Oh, oh, hello, fan!"
Tuanzi waved a chubby little hand gently.
The two young girls hugged each other and jumped slightly, "In person, she’s even cuter!"
Tuanzi tilted her head, "?" The two older sisters seemed a bit odd.
One of them clasped her hands together, making a light bow, "Miaomiao, can we take a photo with you?"
Tuanzi blinked, thought it over, then shook her head earnestly, "No, you can’t."
The girl quickly added, "I’ll pay to have a photo with you, aren’t you raising funds? You must really need money, right?"
Tuanzi pouted, "No, we don’t sell autographs or photos, that’s not right!"
The girl with shoulder-length short hair acted coquettishly, "Just one picture, please."
A chubby hand stretched out, slightly open, indicating a proper distance between them.
Tuanzi seriously stated, "Even if you are very pretty and cute, you can’t."
The two girls blushed immediately.
Pretty and cute? Miaomiao is really good!
[Wow, feels like Miaomiao’s love talk skills are maxed out!]
[Such a sweet talker]
[If Miaomiao praised me saying I was pretty and cute, I think I’d probably faint]
[But it’s just a photo, wouldn’t it be okay to agree to the fans?]
[Maybe she doesn’t really get it? Or her family instructed her?]
The two young girls didn’t want to leave, so they bought both a portrait and a sugar painting.
The sugar painting got made quickly, they received it soon and went to line up for a sketch.
Seeing that they were customers, Tuanzi put her hands behind her back and walked over leisurely.
The two didn’t give up, "Really can’t take a picture?"
Tuanzi shook her head.
"Then, can we appear in the same picture?"
Tuanzi rubbed her chin, starting to consider.
At this moment, the two girls noticed the artist glanced in their direction.
They looked over.
Gu Chi: ^_^
The two shivered.
They suddenly thought of ’gentle knife.’
"Cough, cough, since you’re so sincere," Tuanzi pretended to act maturely, a big gap with her adorableness, "if you can help advertise, Miaomiao will appear with you in the same picture."
She said troubledly, "We can only promote here, can’t go to the other end of the commercial street, many people don’t even know we’re set up here. Soon, we’ll have no customers."
Tuanzi wanted to advertise nearby, but Gu Chi wouldn’t let her wander too far.
The local tourism industry is thriving, and there are a lot of people every day in the commercial street, but before there was the incident of human traffickers’ accomplices retaliating against Tuanzi, even if the show staff watched her, Gu Chi wasn’t at ease letting her go far.
What could Tuanzi do? She could only obediently stay put.
The two young girls nodded without hesitation.
They used to queue outside stadiums in the cold winter to see their idol’s concert. Risking being beaten to grab a magazine, mobilizing their whole family.
Just helping with some advertising, that’s a small thing.
Tuanzi hurriedly handed over the self-portraits of herself and Gu Jiujiu.
"Take these to promote."
The two girls took them and hesitated, "Aren’t you afraid we’ll run off with the paintings?"
Tuanzi hadn’t spoken yet, and Gu Chi looked up, his crescent eyes curved.
Gu Chi: ^_^
The two girls: "..."
They quietly discussed in front of the camera, "Shouting is too troublesome, plus with so many people, not everyone will hear."
"Then hand out flyers?"
"Oh right, I remember there’s a website offering free flyer templates for commercial use, we can just change some promotional words."
"It’s for members only, I bought the membership. Miaomiao, what are your prices?"
Tuanzi was shocked by their initiative, she quickly stated the prices. The two designed flyers on their phones and quickly printed a stack of simple black-and-white flyers at a nearby print shop.
With permission from the two, the show arranged for a cameraman to follow. The two girls rushed into the crowd, handing out flyers energetically, finishing this street, and even going around the mall to another street.
Fans of idols aren’t afraid of challenges!
They seemed to be burning with enthusiasm.
Not long after, passersby with flyers came over to buy sugar paintings and sketches.
In less than half an hour, long lines formed at both small stalls.
Tuanzi was dumbfounded.
"They’re not only pretty and cute, but also incredibly capable."
