Chapter 16 (2/2)

However, for Pei Qian, this was a perfect requirement form!

In fact, he was so happy that he thumped himself.

Ma Yang was reliable indeed!

There was no way Pei Qian would be able to write all this himself!

He had truly made the right choice by getting Ma Yang to be his employee!

Pei Qian did not change a single word and sent the requirement form to Ruan Guangjian just like that.

After five minutes, Ruan Guangjian replied.

“Isn’t there too many things missing from this requirement form?”

“This is going to be difficult for me to draw. There’s no clear standard to gauge from.”

Pei Qian was prepared for this as he replied right away, “It’s fine, just draw and design as you wish to! In fact, if you think that these requirements aren’t reliable, you can choose not to follow it entirely! I trust in your professional judgment!”

Ruan Guangjian: “… No. Since we signed a contract, there has to a standard. Wouldn’t things be complicated if no one wants to take responsibility for this later on?”

Pei Qian answered hastily, “For real! I’m completely trusting of your capabilities! Don’t worry, no matter what you end up drawing in the end, I won’t make you change it repeatedly! You can take a screenshot of this conversation as evidence. Or if you truly feel the need, we can add this clause into the contract.”

“There’s no need for that… alright then, I’ll see what I can do about it,” Ruan Guangjian said.

Pei Qian was relieved.

He was afraid that Ruan Guangjian might insist that they provide detailed specifications so that he can go about drawing it earnestly.

The way things are right now, it was a win win situation where both sides would have less problems.

Pei Qian had some money left that he did not intend to keep. He proceeded with buying music, sound effects, other art resources and cloud rental service equipment et cetera.

All of those did not cost too much. Pei Qian had planned it perfectly such that there was only around 10,000 yuan left in case of any emergencies.

As for marketing fees for the game… he naturally reserved no money for that!

He had no intention of marketing it at all! It’d be best if no one knew about the game at all!

Pei Qian could foresee his bright future as he continued to get busy at spending money.

…

A certain finance university in Shanghai.

A dormitory in the arts course.

The dormitories here had a much better environment than back at Pei Qian’s Handong University.

There were individual tables at the bottom of every bunk bed and the dormitories were air conditioned as well apart from being new and spacious.

Thanks to the resource website set up by ESRO, many of the arts students are able to take on side jobs online during their university days which helped to improve their lives slightly.

Not only that, these projects would help them in seeking employment post graduation as well.

Ruan Guangjian put his mouse away and yelled, “Old Huang, Old Zhou! Hurry and get the others here! We’ve got work!”

Before long, the other five people in the dormitory scurried over.

“Three weeks, 50 sets of original arts with four pieces each. 3,000 yuan! How’s that? Great, right?”

Ruan Guangjian was an energetic young fella with short hair, fair skin and exquisite features – he did not look like an artist at all.

The same can’t be said for his roommates where some of them kept long hair while others had tattoos – they all had distinctive traits.

Old Huang, a guy with a short beard, was the first to head over. “3,000 yuan for four pieces? Holy shit! That’ll do! For that price, I’ll even do cartoonish designs! Just for the sake of survival!”

Ruan Guangjian shook his head. “Cartoonish? That’s not the case this time round! The client made it clear that he’s fine with any styles as long as it’s not cartoonish!”

Old Huang was stunned. “Huh? But I recall you only uploaded cartoonish art on your portfolio previously? This client came looking for you while insisting that he doesn’t want it to be cartoonish? Is he braindead?”

“F*ck you! This is called being insightful on his part!” Ruan Guangjian rolled his eyes. “I had drawing cartoons. But what can I do when all the mobile games are trending with cartoon characters? Previously, I could only receive jobs for drawing cartoons, so I had no choice. Now that he doesn’t want any cartoons, I can finally show my true worth!”

“You’re going to draw in that style of yours? I don’t think that’ll fit…” Old Huang was hesitant. “Taking the client’s money to draw something that you want, that’s…”

“The client has made it clear that he trusts my artistic skills and professional judgment and he gives me complete autonomy over the design!”

“Besides, look at that requirement form! It’s completely in line with my thoughts!”
