Financial freedom begins in Vietnam

Upon hearing this, Chen Junhe breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It turns out they were just invited to participate in a modeling show, not subjected to any unspoken rules.

"No, Mr. Paul, I'm not interested in the catwalk, I'm only interested in the people on the catwalk."

Chen Junhe smiled and declined.

"Good heavens, what kind of talk is this?"

Amidst the curious gazes of several pretty saleswomen, Paul circled Chen Junhe several times, making incredulous noises all the while.

"Look at those muscle definition, look at those proportions, my God, you were born for the runway."

Paul's astonished expression seemed to suggest that Chen Junhe's absence from the catwalk was a grave waste of talent.

Paul's expression combined with his feminine gestures makes it no wonder that fashion designers are often described as having a slightly gay vibe.

"Mr. Paul, I think we should talk about the important things we need to discuss today first?" Although he felt a little uneasy under Paul's gaze, Chen Junhe took the initiative to steer the conversation back on track.

Chen Junhe had some ideas, but he decided to proceed step by step.

After all, things that are rushed are not good deals.

It's better for the other person to say certain things; otherwise, they might use them as leverage to control you.

Paul looked up at Chen Junhe for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, my landlord, come to my office for a cup of coffee."

Before leading Chen Junhe upstairs, he turned to the sales clerks and snapped his fingers: "Beautiful Angelina, please bring two cups of coffee to my office."

Perhaps because he was particularly pleased with the way he addressed him earlier, Paul used that title again: "This way, Mr. Landlord, my office is on the third floor."

Paul's office is located on the third floor of this building, towards the back, right next to the central skylight.

His office is more like a studio than an office.

Apart from a tiny reception area with three small sofas and a coffee table, the rest of the space is his workspace.

Various cutting tools were placed on the worktable, and the surrounding walls were covered with various fabrics. The cabinets were also filled with various sewing materials.

After bringing Chen Junhe to his office, Paul wasn't embarrassed at all by the mess in his office.

Instead, he took Chen Junhe on a tour of his workspace with great interest.

Various technical terms poured out of Paul's mouth like a torrent.

Fortunately, Paul speaks English well enough that Chen Junhe can understand him perfectly.

Otherwise, to put it in French, Chen Junhe would be completely at a loss.

Through Paul's introduction, Chen Junhe learned that Paul was also one of the brand's shareholders and one of its main designers.

Many of the clothing styles displayed in the shops below were designed by Paul.

According to him, the reason he stayed in Vietnam was because it was completely different from other Southeast Asian countries.

It possesses the mysterious charm originating from East Asia, as well as the unique wildness of Vietnam.

These factors combined to form Paul's design inspiration.

According to him, several of his designs even became hot items at Paris Fashion Week.

He went on and on about the various materials and their properties.

Paul paused, still wanting to continue, and asked, "Landlord, regarding our lease, can it continue as it was previously signed?"

"Of course, that's the main reason I came here."

Chen Junhe simply told Paul the answer directly.

"By the Virgin Mary, this is absolutely the best news I've heard all day."

Upon hearing this answer, Paul expressed his excitement with great joy.

"I think we should have a drink to celebrate this good news."

Paul happily walked up to a large cabinet and opened one of its doors.

Inside, there were several bottles of wine and a row of exquisite wine glasses.

Paul took out two glasses and a bottle of whiskey, pouring about a third of it into the glasses.

"Landlord, I hope we can have a pleasant working relationship." Paul handed his wine glass to Chen Junhe.

"Slice into strips."

The two wine glasses gently clinked together.

Paul tilted his head back and downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp.

Chen Junhe was still a little hesitant. Could this designer, who looked like a gay man, have some ill intentions towards him?

But thinking about it, I realized I had never met him before.

It's highly unlikely that the other party would prepare such a ridiculous thing in advance.

Besides, with my physique enhanced by the system, I shouldn't be susceptible to any attacks.

So he finished the whiskey in his glass as well.

Seemingly because the lease on the house could continue to be executed according to the original terms, Paul excitedly continued to chat with Chen Junhe about some things in the fashion design circle.

Although Chen Junhe was completely unfamiliar with this circle, he gained some understanding after Paul's explanation.

Because they thought that Dalia and the others might have a need for these resources.

So Chen Junhe mostly agreed with what Paul said about fashion week and runway shows, and occasionally asked some small questions.

Hearing that Chen Junhe was interested in this matter.

Paul went on to talk at length about the relevant processes and some design concepts.

It also reveals that during the fashion show, the designer has the right to directly determine the number of models and the models to walk the runway.

So Chen Junhe casually revealed that he also had several friends who were models, and perhaps their images could fit Paul's design philosophy.

Upon hearing Chen Junhe's revelation, Paul's eyes flickered a few times: "Those who can be friends with the landlord must be very outstanding models. If it's convenient, you can forward their information to me."

Chen Junhe was certain that Paul had understood what he wanted.

Then he sent a message directly to Dalia, who was still filming on site, asking her to send over the model information cards for the three of them.

Dalia appears to be taking a break during this filming session.

They quickly sent over the three people's information cards, along with the contact information for their personal agents.

As they are officially contracted models, they cannot bypass their agents to take on private jobs.

Not to mention runway shows, which have a high profile.

Chen Junhe added several of Paul's contact methods and sent Paul his information via Instagram.

Paul opened the files of the three people in front of Chen Junhe and browsed through them one by one.

Reputable modeling agencies have very complete profiles of their signed models.

All the photo data and past experience can be found on it.

After looking around, Paul smiled with satisfaction.

"Landlord, your friends are all very attractive and have great figures. We're having a fashion show in Shanghai in two weeks, and I'd like to invite them to attend."
