Chapter 344: Sheng Bai Shopping Mall

Consultant Linda said cautiously, though in her heart, she didn't harbor any illusions.

After all, Mr. Chen had come in and immediately ordered four suits worth 100,000 yuan; the remuneration for shooting a magazine, which was only ten or twenty thousand yuan, likely wouldn't even catch his eye.

However, she didn't want to give up on this suitable model.

So she could only try asking.

"Remuneration?"

The words of refusal Chen Mo had intended to say were instantly swallowed back.

"Um, may I ask, how much is the remuneration?"

"Ah!"

Consultant Linda exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected Mr. Chen to ask about the price, but she quickly reacted.

"The price for a model for 'Men's Style' magazine is usually around ten thousand… No, if it's you, Mr. Chen, we can offer a remuneration of twenty thousand."

A price of twenty thousand was, in fact, already very high.

Generally, for a novice model shooting a magazine for the first time, a few thousand yuan would be pretty good.

But she thought about how they hadn't been able to find a model for this issue of 'Men's Style,' as this time it was a suit feature.

There were some male models with good appearances, and they looked decent enough in suits, but they lacked the temperament that a boss should have.

But this Mr. Chen was very different. Not only was his appearance excellent, but once he put on a suit, that innate boss-like temperament was visible at a glance—it was absolutely incomparable to those other male models.

And generally, people with this kind of boss temperament were almost all high-ranking executives of large enterprises. But such people were usually quite old, making them unsuitable for shooting a magazine like 'Men's Style,' and it wasn't certain they could be hired anyway.

Only this Mr. Chen before her met their requirements perfectly, whether it was age, physique, or temperament…

So, even though this Mr. Chen was shooting a magazine for the first time, she offered him the highest price.

Twenty thousand!

Hearing this price, Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

When he first started the settlements, he only received a few thousand yuan each time.

It was only last time, after the settlement, that he received over one hundred thousand, but that was money from several months of settlements.

On average, it was only a few tens of thousands per month.

And this time, he could get twenty thousand yuan just by shooting a magazine.

This was much simpler than racking his brains and spending money to get settlements.

Moreover, there were still nearly four months until the real settlement, and earning some extra money during this period seemed like a very good thing.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I can shoot the magazine, but I don't want my identity exposed. You cannot include any information about me in the magazine."

He had some prior understanding of this 'Men's Style' magazine; it had a large audience.

If he finished shooting the magazine and those people learned about his various businesses through the information in the magazine, it would be troublesome.

He didn't want to affect the system settlement because of this twenty thousand yuan.

So, to avoid such things from happening, the best method was to hide his information.

From just the photos in the magazine, likely only those with means would be able to find him. Ordinary people reading the magazine wouldn't be able to figure out who he was.

And those with means probably wouldn't have the spare time to investigate a male model.

So as long as his information was hidden, there shouldn't be any problem with shooting this magazine.

"That's no problem at all. We won't write any information about you, Mr. Chen, on it."

Consultant Linda nodded without hesitation. Some models hoped for their information to appear in the magazine so they could promote themselves through it.

Through this method, they could get more advertisements or magazine gigs.

But Mr. Chen certainly didn't care about these things, and it was understandable that he wanted to keep it hidden.

Besides, for a magazine, the most important thing was the visual sense and temperament captured in the photos; whether or not there was any introduction of personal information didn't matter at all.

Shen Rou listened to the conversation between the two from the side, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

President Chen was just so low-key; even when shooting a magazine, he didn't want to expose himself.

Even though he had already become the president of the Group, he remained so low-key and humble; this was probably the reason for President Chen's success.

Chen Mo sat on the chair and, seeing Consultant Linda nod in agreement, smiled slightly.

"Then it's a pleasant cooperation. This is my business card; whenever it's time to shoot the magazine, you can contact me through the phone number on it."

As he spoke, he took a business card out of his pocket and handed it over.

Consultant Linda took the business card and glanced at it.

Mingri Group. President: Chen Mo.

Seeing these words, Consultant Linda was instantly stunned. She hadn't expected that this Mr. Chen was actually the president of a Group.

She had previously thought that the other party was just the boss of a small startup company.

After all, looking at his appearance, he seemed to be in his twenties; how could she have imagined he was the president of a Group company?

"Understood, President Chen."

Consultant Linda carefully put away the business card and then continued.

"President Chen, the clothes have all been tried on. Shall I go take your measurements?"

"Alright!"

Chen Mo nodded, feeling relieved in his heart; the clothes had finally all been tried on.

Soon, he followed Consultant Linda to the place in the store responsible for taking measurements, found a tailor to take the measurements, and then left first.

After the tailor fussed around for a while, the body measurements were finally taken.

Next, he only needed to wait. Once the suits were made into semi-finished products, he would have to come back for a fitting. Then, they would make a final adjustment based on his physique.

After that, he just needed to wait for the finished suits.

"President Chen, you've finished measuring? Perfect, I just went out to buy a cup of coffee and brought one back for you as well."

After the measurements were done, Chen Mo and Shen Rou were just about to leave when they saw Consultant Linda walk in from outside, carrying several cups of coffee in her hand.

"Thank you!"

Chen Mo nodded and did not refuse Consultant Linda's kindness.

However, upon seeing the coffee, his expression was somewhat startled.

The brand of this coffee wasn't Starbucks or anything, but his own Nanhe Coffee.

"Consultant Linda, I heard that this Nanhe Coffee is quite expensive; you actually drink it."

"The price is alright. With my ability, I can afford it, and the taste of this Nanhe Coffee is quite excellent."

"Besides, this Nanhe Coffee is right near Sheng Bai Shopping Mall, so it's very convenient to go there. Some employees of Sheng Bai Shopping Mall often go there to drink it."

Linda explained.

After this Nanhe Coffee opened, people from the shopping mall went over, and after tasting it, they felt that this coffee shop was very good.

Although the price was a bit expensive, the salary and benefits for staff working at Sheng Bai Shopping Mall were good, so they could afford to consume at Nanhe Coffee.

And because the taste of Nanhe Coffee was excellent, it was loved by many employees in the shopping mall within a short period of time.

Ever since she found out about Nanhe Coffee, she had to drink a cup almost every day.
