Yang Yunhe was unsure if the aesthetics of 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' were correct, but the models were genuinely beautiful, each possessing an exceptionally handsome face and a perfectly proportioned figure.
No matter what clothes they wore, they wouldn't look bad, let alone when dressed in meticulously designed top luxury fashion. These garments truly exuded a radiant glow at all times, as if capable of drawing in one's very soul.
Setting aside other matters, Li Susu, the senior student Li Ran, completely forgot the pain of being gifted away by her husband, and was lost in the ecstatic embrace of these dazzling clothes.
Yang Yunhe, however, was paying attention to other things, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are we the only customers here?"
"Yes, there are not many guests qualified to come here. In the entire Paris, there are less than 200 people. So unless it's a pre-arranged meeting, it's generally difficult for guests to encounter each other here!"
"So do your hundreds of models have to work like this every day?" Yang Yunhe couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes, whether there are guests or not, they have to be here, because we cannot predict when distinguished guests will arrive!" the sales assistant replied.
"Then the labor costs..."
"They are insignificant!"
"..." Yang Yunhe was speechless. However, he then thought that a set of clothes here starts at a minimum of one million euros, so the salary of these models might indeed be considered negligible.
But Yang Yunhe did not know that these models, who work here, do not need to pay any salary to 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei'. This is because these models are actually sent by major French modeling agencies and generally work here for about three months before returning to their agencies.
The purpose is very simple: to gain valuable experience and prestige. Firstly, those who can be selected by 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' are definitely top-tier models with both exceptional looks and figures.
Secondly, 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei's' two major fashion shows each year will only select from these models. Therefore, this is a stepping stone to participating in 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei's' shows. If you don't spend three months here, you simply won't be eligible to participate in the industry's most top-tier super shows.
Moreover, since the guests who can visit the flagship store are absolutely the most elite families and aristocrats in France, and even all of Europe, if they happen to be favored by a prominent figure during their presentation, their lives could soar!
For example, at this moment, many models were staring intently at Yang Yunhe, wishing they could pounce on him and capture this man under their charms, thereby ensuring their lifelong prosperity.
And more frighteningly, many of these models were men.
Finally, being a model for 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei's' flagship store is in itself the supreme honor in the modeling industry, a sacred place that countless models dream of, and capital they can boast about for a lifetime.
It's like the difference between officials who passed the imperial examination and those who didn't. Officials who never passed were generally stuck in the middle or lower ranks of the bureaucracy for their entire lives.
Only officials who passed the imperial examination were qualified to become Hanlin scholars and gradually climb to the pinnacle of officialdom, such as Grand Secretaries in the Cabinet. This is a symbol of status and capability!
Therefore, 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' does not need to pay these models a single cent in salary. On the contrary, they spend hundreds of thousands of euros annually on personnel costs to carefully select the best models from a list of tens of thousands of applicants.
Ahem, let's move past these trivialities. While Yang Yunhe was contemplating the model costs, Li Susu had already selected the dress she wanted.
In fact, there was no need to select this dress. Li Susu had already set her sights on it several months ago. It was the 'He Feng Qiu Yue' ensemble from this year's spring collection, a full set of Ming dynasty court attire, the kind worn by empresses during grand ceremonies. With modern modifications, it was exceptionally luxurious and beautiful.
This dress was limited to only 50 sets. It was snapped up by VIPs as soon as the store opened. Some people in the market were quoting prices as high as 4 million euros, four times the original price. It was unclear if anyone had actually managed to acquire a set.
During the month when Jiang Youchang briefly recovered his wealth, Li Susu had once seen the Duchess of Wilson wearing this dress from a distance, and she had never forgotten it.
Now, this dress was being worn by one of the models, who proudly held a glass of champagne while gazing at a Monet oil painting hanging on the wall.
"If you like it, buy it!" Yang Yunhe said without hesitation.
"But I just asked the sales assistant, and this dress has been sold out for a long time. 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' never reproduces any style, so it's impossible to buy!" Li Susu replied.
"Then what can be bought here? Buy a set!" Yang Yunhe scratched his head.
"No, there's nothing for sale here. All the dresses here have been sold out!" Li Susu said.
"Then what's the point of them opening a flagship store?" Yang Yunhe was stunned. All the clothes in the flagship store were sold out? Then what was the point of all this?
"It's like this, the flagship store only offers reservation services for next season's new arrivals. The clothes on these models are just for display!" Li Susu explained proactively, appearing to know the store's rules better than the staff.
Indeed, the people who can't afford it tend to research these things more.
"Then why did you come here to buy clothes?" Yang Yunhe retorted.
"You brought me here. I just said I wanted to buy a few clothes at the mall!" Li Susu said aggrievedly, making Yang Yunhe blush with embarrassment. He felt so foolish.
"Mr. Yang, have you made your selection?" the sales assistant asked respectfully.
"Uh, don't you have no stock, and can only make reservations?" Yang Yunhe said with a wry smile.
"That's generally true, but earlier, our Ms. Qu specifically instructed us that if you don't mind, you can buy any sample outfits worn by the models. Of course, we will ensure they are cleaned and maintained to the best condition before handing them over to you!" the sales assistant said.
"Clothes that have been worn!" Yang Yunhe was still hesitating, but Li Susu's eyes instantly emitted 200 watts of light, and she nodded emphatically, "I want it, I want that 'He Feng Qiu Yue' set. I've seen it, and that model's height and physique are similar to mine, so I can wear it!"
"Then let it be!" Yang Yunhe nodded. Since Li Susu didn't mind, he didn't either.
The model was led backstage by several sales assistants, looking completely bewildered, while the other models stared at them in astonishment.
Many of them had been here for three months, and according to the intelligence they had gathered through word of mouth, no one had ever bought an outfit worn by a model.
It wasn't that no one had requested it. After all, all the released outfits were limited editions, and 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' only had the samples worn by the models left. Therefore, no matter how distinguished the person, if they wanted to buy clothes on the spot at the flagship store, they could only take them off the models. xxs壹贰
However, 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' had never agreed to such a request, as they only had one sample of each outfit. If they sold it, they themselves wouldn't be able to display it.
In a sense, being able to buy a sample from 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei's' flagship store was far more difficult than buying the original product.
But now, they saw 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' proactively offering to sell samples. What kind of identities did this man and woman possess to receive such extraordinary treatment from 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei'?
Was it Huang He himself?
But the problem was, all the models had seen photos of Boss Huang, and the man in front of them was definitely not Huang He.
Li Susu herself looked at the man in front of her with immense joy. She was naturally well-informed about all the rumors and the prestige of the 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' flagship store. She also knew the miraculousness of being able to buy samples directly. This was simply the most top-tier topic of conversation in the fashion district. Countless noblewomen, upon hearing this news, would undoubtedly ask in shock, who was the woman who possessed this outfit?
At this moment, she felt as if she were about to float away.
But in the next second, something that made Li Susu feel like she had been slapped in the face happened: Yang Yunhe actually proactively asked the sales assistant if they had any underwear or other intimate women's clothing for sale.
Everyone knew that 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' only sold various ensembles and absolutely did not sell things like underwear. Her man asking such an ignorant question made Li Susu feel a wave of shame.
Then, something unexpected happened again. The sales assistant hesitated for a moment, then actually brought out several sets of underwear, stating that these were distributed to the models for daily use. While they were not for public sale, they did bear the 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei' logo.
Good heavens, in a way, this was even more precious than the ensembles priced at one million euros per set. As Li Susu left the flagship store, she felt completely elated!
For the next half of the day, Li Susu fully experienced the status and position of this former junior classmate.
They then went to 'Cai Wei's' flagship store. Although the items here were not as rare as those from 'Liu Shang Qu Shui Cai Wei', there were still many styles that she could never have imagined owning. However, with just a word from Yang Yunhe, these items, which would normally have to be bought at a premium of several or even tens of times the price, were all sold to them at the original price.
Afterward, Yang Yunhe went directly to the European headquarters of 'Tian Zhou Terminal' and took away a 'Tian Zhou 6' that had been released less than a week ago, and it was the 'Ultimate Edition' that was impossible to obtain with money.
She remembered Jiang Youchang saying countless times that he was willing to use his entire fortune to exchange for an 'Ultimate Edition Tian Zhou 6', but he couldn't even find a way. Also, the 'Ultimate Edition' was supposed to be delivered a week later. Therefore, she, Li Susu, was probably the first woman in Europe to use the 'Ultimate Edition Tian Zhou 6'.
The same scenario and melodramatic plot points occurred repeatedly. Various luxury products from the 'Jiangnan Group' that normal people couldn't buy were all acquired by Yang Yunhe as if they were free, and given to Li Susu.
Or, even more shockingly, the product line of the 'Jiangnan Group' almost permeated every aspect of daily life.
When they returned to Yang Yunhe's hotel room that night, Li Susu had completely cast aside all her pain. She was even filled with joy, wishing that Jiang Youchang had sold her off sooner.
The outcome was self-evident. With Li Susu's diligent service, Yang Yunhe experienced a "killer" service that he had only fantasized about for countless nights with Li Susu, and was immersed in extreme pleasure for the entire night.
"Junior classmate, do you think we can live like this forever?" the next morning, waking up with Yang Yunhe nestled in her arms, Li Susu asked dazedly. She felt as if she were still dreaming.
Yang Yunhe's body stiffened. If he were to leave the 'Jiangnan Group,' then all of this would indeed become a dream.
