Chapter 133: Compensation
Chapter 133: Compensation
Nina came here today to give a lecture.
The reason why all comic societies had to send people to attend the lecture was that Nina would attend the Animation Festival one month later as a judge.
Although Nina was just a student of Skyler University, she was very famous in the cartoon industry of Bentson.
Among the painters of her age, her achievements were quite brilliant everyone else.
Others had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans, but she had millions of fans.
Of course, it had something to do with her frequent attendance.
She was Sarah's niece and was also the daughter of a noble family. Moreover, she was deeply favored by the old man of the Jackson family.
Every time she held an activity, many people would like to join in.
“In fact, your identity is even better than her. As long as you make some achievements, and then announce that you are Hunter's wife, the number of your fans will be increased quickly.”
From the teaching building to the conference building, Sally came to Emily's ear and said secretly.
Emily gave her a sidelong glance, "what you mean is that I will accomplish nothing if I don't have the status of Hunter's wife?"
“Of course not. It's the icing on the cake.”
Emily didn't pay attention to her any more. Sally was in a good mood today and was smiling all the way.
Seeing that there was not much time left for the lecture to start, Sally quickly ran up the steps outside the building, “Emily, I'm going to occupy our seats first."
Emily wanted to catch up with her, but the girl ran so fast and disappeared soon.
Nina's lecture really attracted a lot of people. Those who came later could not occupy a good position.
Emily could only quicken steps and walked into the lobby of the conference building.
She didn't know what happened in the lobby. A group of people gathered together as if they were seeing the fun.
Emily didn't know if Sally had gone in. Within such a short time, she actually had disappeared.
Emily bypassed the crowd and was preparing to walk to the largest group meeting room in the whole building.
Unexpectedly, she just walked a few steps and heard Sally's voice, "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.”
Emily was stunned and walked into the crowd.
“Do you think an apology can let us pretend to be no such thing?"
The two girls holding the painting looked angry. One of them said angrily, "Do you know how long time and how much painstaking it took Miss Nina to draw this painting?"
The other's face was red with anger and she was anxious, "This is the work to be displayed in the Animation Festival next month. Now it is damaged by you. How can we tell Miss Nina?”
Sally was so anxious that she was sweating and explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to do it. What's more, you bumped into me yourself...”
“Then you go and ask the people in the school to tune out the surveillance. Let's see who bumped whom!"
The two girls stared at Sally, wishing they could eat her alive.
“You've damaged Miss Nina's paintings and even slandered others!"
“This is a hand-painted work. There is no second one in this world. Tell me how can you compensate?"
As soon as the students around heard it, they immediately began to discuss, "A hand-painted work? Then, it will be troublesome."
“Yes, there is no second one. The amount of compensation is absolutely great. Sally will be sorry this time."
“What's going on?" Emily crammed into the crowd.
Hearing Emily's voice, Sally immediately seemed to have met a savior, and walked quickly past.
“Emily, I didn't mean to. It was them who bumped into me. I was going to hide, but I still couldn't hide.”
It was really an unforeseen disaster!
“You ran so fast just now. Now, you said we bumped into you ourselves?" The girl pointed at Sally and said angrily.
Emily just looked at Sally.
Sally quickly explained, "Yes, I have walked fast. But I have looked carefully on the road. It is really them who suddenly bumped into me, I couldn't even hide.”
“What's going on?" Outside the crowd, there was another sound.
Everyone looked back. A group of people suddenly consciously made way for them to come.
Nina and her assistant were here. Now, it would be a good show!
Nina was wearing a simple dress and her long hair was pulled up. She was noble, generous, and elegant. She was the most perfect image of the daughter of a rich family.
This was the legendary painter, Nina. Although many people were familiar with her name, few had ever seen her in reality.
After seeing her face, people had to say that Skyler University was really a place for beautiful girls.
Nina came over. The two girls immediately went over with a look of anger, "Miss Nina, it's that girl who damaged your painting.”
Another girl opened the scroll. Sure enough, there was a crack in the corner of the painting which was very exquisite and almost perfect.
Although the crack was not big, the painting was damaged.
No matter how damaged, it was impossible to send it to the exhibition again!
That is to say, this small crack had destroyed the whole painting!
Nina's sight fell on Sally under the direction of two girls.
Sally had already been frightened by the momentum of Nina and was a little timid. Now Nina fixed on her, she immediately panicked.
However, she still explained, "it's really not me. It's them who bumped into me on their own initiative. I didn't mean to. I have tried to hide.”
Hearing this, the assistant immediately became angry, "Do you know how much money this painting can be sold in the market? Can you afford it?”
Money was not a problem. What the most important was how should they do in the Animation Festival a month later?
Nina's schedule was full. How could she spare so much time to draw another painting?
The girl who was a bumpkin was really too much!
“Assistant Han, what should we do now? Are we going to sue her for money?” The girl holding the picture asked.
“Yes! At least we have to let her pay a few million!” Assistant Han was very angry.
She saw with her own eyes how Nina finished the painting, and how she insisted on when she was tired.
Now, it was basically board drawing. There were not many hand-painted fine paintings, let alone such large posters.
Did she know how valuable the hand-painted posters were?
With Nina's current fame, a few millions were just conservative estimates!
This girl, who didn't know anything, was so impatient that she damaged the paintings. How can she be reconciled without letting her pay so much money?
"I didn't damage it...” Sally tightly grasped Emily's clothes.
Emily said, “OK. Let's call the police and let the police investigate."
“Emily...”
“Since you are sure that it was not damaged by you, then call the police and let the police investigate. We are not afraid of the things we haven't done.”
Emily patted the back of her hand.
Sally was still a little flustered. Even if she didn't take the initiative to bump into them, she did touch this painting.
As long as it happened, maybe... she couldn't get rid of it?
If they really called the police, just like setting the responsibility for a traffic accident, she must also be responsible. At that time, she had to compensate according to the proportion.
The key was that she and Emily all had no money. What should they do?
The two girls who sent the painting seemed angrier than before when they heard that Emily would call the police.
“If you do this, Miss Nina’s reputation will certainly be damaged. At that time, you will have to pay for the loss of reputation!"
Sally was even more upset.
But Emily said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter. I believe that Sally doesn't need to pay for any money. Because the painting had been damaged before you bumped into Sally.”
