Chapter 95: Giving Benefits (922)
“I’ve always aspired to be in the K-pop industry, but why would I choose DM Entertainment over the Three Greats?” Choi Ji-soo pondered for a moment before asking.
Kim Minju’s eyes widened, looking at Choi Ji-soo with a hint of admiration.
She could say something like that so frankly, how impressive…
“If I can cultivate one IVE, I can cultivate a second, and a third,” Jiang Shu said with a faint smile, leaning back on the sofa.
“I don’t deny the past glory of the Three Greats, but in today’s girl group market, my IVE is the core.”
Choi Ji-soo’s eyes showed surprise.
“IVE is a DM Entertainment group?”
She had felt DM Entertainment sounded familiar earlier, but she hadn’t realized it was IVE’s company.
That also meant…
This “Chairman Jiang” in front of her was the genius producer widely rumored online?
“I need time to consider,” Choi Ji-soo said after a moment of silence.
“Of course, my private number is on the business card, Ji-soo xi can contact me anytime.” Jiang Shu made a gesture for her to feel free, then stood up.
Seeing this, Choi Ji-soo also stood up.
“I’ll see you out.”
Jiang Shu waved his hand.
“We’re going shopping, Ji-soo xi doesn’t need to see us out.”
“Chairman Jiang, Minju xi, take care.”
“Mm.”
Choi Ji-soo watched Jiang Shu and Kim Minju walk towards another VIP room, lost in thought for a long time.
“Miss Choi.” The sales associate’s voice rang in her ear.
Choi Ji-soo finally came back to her senses, looked at the respectful sales associate in front of her, and expressionlessly put away Jiang Shu’s business card in her hand.
“Let’s begin.”
“Yes!”
On the other side.
Jiang Shu and Kim Minju arrived at another VIP room.
The fifth floor was all VIP rooms, specifically prepared for major clients. Jiang Shu naturally wouldn’t squeeze into one room with Choi Ji-soo, although the VIP rooms were indeed quite spacious.
Jiang Shu sat on the sofa, while Kim Minju sat beside him, filming the two of them with a camera.
The sales associate led five people in, and Kim Minju aimed the camera at the six people.
“Hello, customer nim!” The six bowed and greeted the two.
“Does the Choi Ji-soo from just now come here often?” Jiang Shu asked.
“Miss Choi’s family runs duty-free shops, and we have a partnership with them,” the woman, who appeared to be the store manager, replied.
Jiang Shu nodded in understanding. No wonder the sales associates all knew her and were so respectful.
“Do you have that limited edition bag I asked for?”
“Yes.” The store manager nodded, then stepped aside. A sales associate pushed a cart to Jiang Shu and Kim Minju, and another sales associate, wearing white gloves, knelt down and took out the limited edition bag from the cart, presenting it to Jiang Shu.
“Zhou Zhou, see if that’s the bag that girl wanted,” Jiang Shu said to Kim Minju after a glance.
“Yes!” Kim Minju was also visiting the fifth floor of this store for the first time and had personally seen such a limited edition bag, of which there were only a few in all of Korea, and her voice became much more excited.
“Do I need to wear gloves?” Kim Minju looked at the bag in front of her, wanting to touch it but not daring to, so she asked.
“You can touch it directly,” the sales associate said gently.
“Thank you.” Kim Minju got permission and then touched it.
Watching Kim Minju caress it with fondness, Jiang Shu rested his head in his hand, wondering if he should buy one for her?
Although this amount of money was nothing to him, it was too expensive for Kim Minju, and she might think he had ulterior motives.
Though he did have some ulterior motives.
If he truly didn’t, his ID wouldn’t be ‘IVE’s First Love Kim Minju’.
However, if he couldn’t buy it for Kim Minju, Liu Zhimin was an option.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu spoke.
“Zhou Zhou, I plan to buy one for each member of IVE. Can you help them choose?”
Kim Minju, who was meticulously examining the bag, was stunned when she heard this.
“Chairman, I! I can’t!”
Letting her choose bags for the IVE seniors, she wouldn’t dare.
“Alright then.” Jiang Shu thought for a moment. This vlog would eventually be released, so if she didn’t want to choose, so be it. He looked at the store manager.
“You know IVE, right?”
“Yes, the hottest girl group right now,” the store manager said with a smile, but her smile held anticipation.
“Then help me choose six bags. Two limited editions, not necessarily of this level of limited edition, but they must be limited. For the other four, pick ones with a similar price range,” Jiang Shu said, pointing to the 2018 autumn limited edition bag in Kim Minju’s hand.
“Yes.” The store manager’s smile almost split her face.
That autumn limited edition bag alone was over one hundred million korean won, and two more limited editions would be another hundred million, and the four regular ones together would add up to another hundred million. Even with a discount, it would be three hundred million korean won.
A big client!
“Chairman Jiang, would you like to open a membership for you? Or should we accumulate it under your account in the China mainland region?” Although excited, the store manager didn’t forget the procedure.
“Open a membership for me,” Jiang Shu said, then paused, pointing to the bag in Kim Minju’s hand and asking, “Can my new membership buy this?”
“You’re joking,” the store manager laughed. “Our intention in setting purchase thresholds is to sell these limited bags to customers who can truly appreciate these works. From every angle, you are a premium customer of our LV.”
So, it’s about genuinely appreciating the bags.
Jiang Shu chuckled, waved his hand, and motioned for her to go get the bags.
He held his phone up, aiming it at Kim Minju.
“Zhou Zhou, stand up with that bag on your back, be a model for a bit.”
“Yes.” Kim Minju handed the selfie stick to a sales associate, who temporarily acted as the photographer, then stood up and put the bag on her back.
Honestly, Jiang Shu didn’t think this bag looked good, but when Kim Minju wore it, the bag suddenly looked good.
No wonder, she’s beautiful~~
Jiang Shu raised his phone.
“Don’t move.”
Click.
“Okay.”
He sent the photo to Su Xueqi.
He didn’t know what that girl was doing, but she replied instantly.
Su Xueqi: !!!
Su Xueqi: 【Voice message】
Jiang Shu opened the voice message.
“Who is this woman! Is she your girlfriend, big brother? She looks pretty good with my bag on her back!”
“I bought the bag for you. This girl is a trainee from my company,” Jiang Shu said, pressing the voice key and sending it.
Su Xueqi: 【Voice message】
“A trainee, huh? Big brother, you’re doing well for yourself. It’s a waste for such a graceful girl.”
Jiang Shu’s face darkened.
“Get lost!”
He turned off his phone, no longer bothering with the frantic Su Xueqi, and looked at Kim Minju.
“Do you have one you like?”
Kim Minju, who had just carefully put the bag down, was stunned by the question.
“I… I…”
What to do, what to do!
Is the Chairman going to buy me a bag?
Although I really want it, I have no reason to accept a bag from the Chairman. I can’t accept it!
But if I refuse, will the Chairman get angry?
Kim Minju’s CPU was almost burning from the stress.
“I’m not buying it for you,” Jiang Shu said, raising an eyebrow as he watched Kim Minju’s expression.
“Ah?”
