"Bra consultant?! Me?" Luo Chao pointed at himself in disbelief.
Then, afraid he might have heard wrong, he asked again, "Are you saying that you want me, the Dragon Fang Team elite, the Soldier King of the special forces, to become a bra design consultant?! I didn't hear you wrong, did I?!"
"You heard me right, I'm talking about you!"
Lin Yun's expression was very serious, she nodded solemnly, not looking like she was joking at all.
"What kind of international joke is this! I admit I have some talent in this area, but it's just a personal hobby. My main job is still being a special forces soldier in the Dragon Fang Team!"
"Even being your personal bodyguard is just an assignment from the troop! Otherwise, these years of being a soldier would have been for nothing!"
Luo Chao decisively refused Lin Yun's appointment. It's not that he dislikes dealing with bras, but he doesn't wish to turn his interest into a career!
As the saying goes, when interest turns into profession, when hobby becomes a means of livelihood, you'll find the only joy in life has been stripped away!
Confusing interest with profession, in the end, there's only boredom left!
"But you really have talent, I don't want to see you waste your talent for nothing!" Lin Yun continued to try persuading Luo Chao.
Actually, the reason Lin Yun strongly suggests Luo Chao become her company's bra consultant is due to compelling reasons.
A few years ago, after Ocean Morning Group spent a huge amount to acquire the world-famous brand Queen's Secret, problems began to arise as time went on.
Queen's Secret has always been primarily operating in European and American countries.
But due to differences in ethnic groups, the body shapes of women from European and American countries differ greatly from those in Asia!
So, even though Queen's Secret is a globally renowned brand, it cannot fully open up the Asian market, including Huaxia, due to factors like price, wearing effect, and comfort.
Therefore, to further profit and avoid losses, Ocean Morning Group must thoroughly penetrate Queen's Secret into the Asian market. The first step is to start from Huaxia.
However, the brand Queen's Secret with its long-standing high-end price and quality standards, even the cheapest ones cost hundreds, and the expensive ones range from thousands to tens of thousands.
Such exorbitant prices in Huaxia, a nation of X treasures, cannot open up the market at all.
So, although Queen's Secret is already very famous, even famous enough to not need advertising anymore.
Its main consumer group is still concentrated in a small portion of wealthy people, almost classified in the luxury brand category.
To break this awkward situation, Ocean Morning Group must design a new bra that perfectly fits the body shape of Huaxia women, ensuring high quality while being reasonably priced!
For this, Queen's Secret's Huaxia design team under Ocean Morning Group has been researching and designing for several months, but the progress is still limited.
Therefore, when Lin Yun discovered Luo Chao, who can easily judge if a woman's bust and bra match just by eyesight and touch, she was desperate to have him join Queen's Secret's design team.
In this way, not only will the research and design progress greatly accelerate, but the success rate of designing the perfect bra will also significantly increase!
"No way, absolutely not." Luo Chao shook his head vigorously.
"Ah, you're forcing me to unleash my trump card!" Lin Yun sighed secretly.
She pointed at the damaged Blue Lotus painting on the wall with disdain, saying, "You can insist on refusing, but you should compensate me for the damage you did to my painting first!"
Luo Chao was brought in as Lin Yun's bodyguard by her father Lin Guohai.
Therefore, Lin Yun cannot fire him, so she can only use the coincidentally damaged priceless painting to coerce him.
"Damn! Using this to threaten me!"
Lin Yun's words made Luo Chao feel annoyed, "Most venomous is a woman's heart! If I'd known, I wouldn't have recklessly helped her find any eavesdropping devices!"
Seeing Luo Chao bow his head silently, Lin Yun knew she was getting somewhere, sneaking a smile and exaggeratingly said, "I mentioned before, the price of this painting was 300,000 British Pounds back then, and now it will only be higher."
"I won't argue prices with you, just compensate me according to the price of 300,000 British Pounds! The current exchange rate of British Pounds to Huaxia Coin is 1 to 8.7, 300,000 British Pounds is 2.6 million Huaxia Coin, pay up!"
With that, Lin Yun cheekily extended a soft, delicate hand to Luo Chao.
"I don't have 2,600,000, but I do have 260."
Luo Chao rummaged through his military coat pocket for a while, then awkwardly smiled and pulled out a few crumpled bills.
Lin Yun looked at the crumpled bills in Luo Chao's hand and his now awkward smile, comparing it to his previous arrogant image, it was like he was a different person entirely!
So, she stifled her laughter and asked, "Forget it, I know you're broke right now. I'll allow you to use your salary as my personal bodyguard to offset the debt! By the way, what's your monthly salary?"
"Uh…" Luo Chao thought for a while and then stammered, "Three... three thousand."
"Puhahaha, three thousand? Are you stupid? My stingy father only pays you three thousand and you agreed?"
Upon hearing that Luo Chao, supposedly a Soldier King, had a salary similar to a new city worker, Lin Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Even though Luo Chao kept his head down and didn't speak, he was inwardly cursing Lin Guohai's ancestors.
Back when he signed the employment contract with Lin Guohai, Lin Guohai had clearly promised in front of himself and Commander Liu at the dinner table.
He swore to marry his beautiful daughter to Luo Chao and give him half of his assets, only then did Luo Chao happily sign the contract.
But when Luo Chao realized it, Lin Guohai, the old fox, had already boarded a plane to the United States for vacation, too late for regret!
However, Luo Chao thought that since Lin Guohai and Commander Liu had already arranged a formal marriage certificate for him and Lin Yun, that old guy couldn't back out later.
But Luo Chao didn't expect he had underestimated Lin Guohai's cunning as a business tycoon, a fact he had just learned from Lin Yun's mouth.
Haisun Group from start to finish is a 100% Lin Guohai-controlled group, and even his daughter Lin Yun is merely working for him as a CEO!
Although Lin Yun can use the group's funds, she doesn't actually have any shares in the group!
This means that even if Luo Chao divorces Lin Yun, he wouldn't get any money, in the end, he only received a blank check from Lin Guohai, the old fox!
Lin Yun naturally knew what Luo Chao was thinking and timely added, "Think about it, your monthly salary of three thousand, which makes thirty-six thousand a year, even if you don't eat or drink, it would take you at least 72 years to save 2,600,000!"
"And now, if you're willing to become my company's bra consultant, I can pay you 100,000 a month! If you save a bit, you can pay off the debt in less than two and a half years, why don't you consider it!"
After listening to Lin Yun's analysis, Luo Chao couldn't help but clench his fist, secretly lamenting that this crafty female CEO was truly carved from the same mold as her old fox of a father!
Though the old saying goes, heroes don't bow to petty gains, this is the real world, whether you're a hero or a coward, you have to eat!
Just as Luo Chao was still hesitating, Lu Xiaoxiao, who had been quietly eavesdropping, suddenly spoke up, "Luo Chao, being a bra consultant is nothing; the workload isn't much, and most of the time it's us designers who are busy."
"You just have to take a moment occasionally to answer our questions, or proactively offer your opinions, which we'll humbly accept!"
Luo Chao didn't speak, but his expression still showed some hesitation.
However, what took Luo Chao by surprise was that Lu Xiaoxiao's next words sounded like the most heavenly music!
"Hehe, I think joining our Queen's Secret design team will definitely mean fantastic employee benefits for you."
"Everyone in our team, except you, is a beauty! You are the only male employee!"
"And, in our team, there are several stunning professional-level lingerie models!"
Lu Xiaoxiao flashed a mischievous smile and said with a grin.
"May I start now?" Luo Chao's demeanor suddenly shifted, reverting to the arrogant Soldier King image he had before.
"Huh? Start what?" Lin Yun and Lu Xiaoxiao were a bit dumbfounded.
"Nonsense, of course, starting my bra consultant job!"
Luo Chao adjusted his hairstyle with his hands, and he no longer looked dispirited!
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun and Lu Xiaoxiao simultaneously felt as if a herd of alpacas was running wild in their minds!
Both exclaimed, "Wow, talk about shameless! This is shamelessness! How fast can a person change their tune!"
