Seeing her about to write again, Jim beca anxious and blurted out several "NO"s, urging Sister Mu to translate quickly, "I have no objections to dropping the shoe line, but these several subsidiary brands are all profitable. Moreover, Espr has always been fully diversified in its operations, and by cutting them now, you’ve switched to a single line of business."
"Jim, honestly, would you shop at a cheap clothing store?" Su Ziceng looked at Jim, who was dressed exquisitely, being gay and a director of a clothing brand, his clothes were all custom-made and outrageously priced.
"No, I would only choose mid-to-high-end brands," Jim didn’t want to explain further, not everyone is like him, that’s why he had developed various subsidiary brands catering to different market levels.
"That’s why I only suggest keeping the mid-tier brands. High-end brands require a lot of design input, and we currently only have Sister Mu as a designer, I don’t want her to overwork," Su Ziceng’s considerate words touched Sister Mu deeply.
"As for the low-end brands, they will drag down the brand influence of the mid-tier brands," Sister Mu gave a reasonable explanation, a high-end consur might buy a mid-tier brand, but would never go for a low-end brand.
"I’ll leave it to you guys to decide," Jim couldn’t find any reason to argue, "But there is sothing I need to ntion, for the last Shibuya Show, I paid lin a salary of one hundred thousand."
"What?" Su Ziceng jumped up, and Sister Mu would have jumped too if not for her limited mobility.
"Why didn’t you discuss this with us," the funds in Espr’s hands were jointly managed by Sister Mu, Su Ziceng, and the funds listed on Espr’s accounts.
"I had no choice, yesterday as per the arrangent, I tried to get lin to take so promotional photos for Espr’s new store, but she threatened , saying if I don’t pay her, she won’t cooperate with our photo shoot." Despite being effeminate, Jim wasn’t nit-picky like so won, and to make things smoother, he paid her the amount for three days’ work.
"This lin really knows how to cause trouble," Sister Mu, wary that lin is Su Ziceng’s cousin, didn’t want to say anything too direct, so she subtly complained.
"I need to talk to her, it’s only our first collaboration and she’s already charging top model fees, it will only be harder to manage her later." Su Ziceng knew that she needed to personally handle the issue since she was the one who introduced lin.
Su Ziceng hurried off to the small apartnt where Qiao Zhizhi and lin were staying, but Qiao Zhizhi told her that since lin returned from Japan, she hadn’t been staying there much.
"That child said the house was too dark, it didn’t get any sunlight, so she moved out," Qiao Zhizhi greeted Su Ziceng, inevitably making so polite conversation.
Qiao Zhizhi apparently wasn’t aware of the significant amount lin had received, and Su Ziceng didn’t want to spell it out directly to avoid causing any unpleasantness between mother and daughter.
"Aunt," Su Ziceng tentatively asked, "lin hasn’t been back recently, haven’t you asked where she’s gone?" lin had not been in Mo City long, having only stayed at Kelly Won’s College for a couple of months, and presumably didn’t have many close friends yet.
"Daughters grow up, and as a mother, I can’t control too much," Qiao Zhizhi, who had lived in the United States, adopted a more liberal parenting style and lin disliked talking with her, resulting in a growing estrangent between them.
While they were talking, lin walked through the door, saw Su Ziceng, and without much greeting, turned to head to her room.
"lin," Su Ziceng looked at the trendy clothes lin was wearing and the brand-na shopping bags in her hand, even if she had received a significant salary, she shouldn’t be spending so recklessly, "I want to talk."
"Talk about what?" lin’s face was covered in exaggerated makeup, looking both agitated and impatient, "If it’s about runway work, contact my agency."
lin’s response left both Su Ziceng and Qiao Zhizhi puzzled.
"Agency?" Qiao Zhizhi felt sothing was wrong; she rembered Ziceng ntioning that they needed lin for a few days to help model, but now after everything was done, lin had signed with so agency.
"lin, why did you sign with an agency out of the blue," Su Ziceng noticed lin wasn’t joking. Young girls like lin are easily influenced by bad company outside; it would be troubleso if she fell for so scam.
"Don’t worry, I signed with a Japanese modeling agency. They not only arranged a series of interviews for but also spent a lot of money to promote ," lin waved her hand, she had been taking photos for several days and was just tired, wanting to find a bed to rest properly.
"The clothes you are wearing are..." Su Ziceng moved to check the label on lin’s clothes, which looked sowhat familiar.
"They are from ZARA," lin pushed her away, sooner or later Su Ziceng would find out, she didn’t want to hide it anymore, "I told you, my agency is top-notch, right after signing they arranged a big contract for , endorsing ZARA’s advertisents."
Despite not knowing what had gone wrong, Su Ziceng’s face turned completely pale upon hearing the na, "You clearly know, our competitor is ZARA."
"So what? They offered a better price and their CEO is a fan of mine," lin said to Su Ziceng’s face then shut the door of her room.
Pello? Su Ziceng felt like her heart was being clawed—first itching, then numb, and at last, only a numbing pain remained after the sting.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast a recomndation ticket, monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
