Chapter 270 - 102: The Clothing Brand, Qingyan LAVUE

"Of course. No problem at all."

Although he didn’t know why Jiang Li suddenly wanted to open a clothing store, he was determined to support her idea one hundred percent.

Jiang Li stopped in her tracks. "Aren’t you going to ask me why?"

Shen Yanzhi smiled. "As long as it’s something you want to do, I’ll support you, no matter the reason."

"But there’s one condition." As she gave him a suspicious look, Shen Yanzhi added, "You can’t wear yourself out."

Jiang Li made an "OK" gesture with her hand. "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t."

After all, she had so many assistants working for her now, not to mention Sheng Mingyue, her ultimate support system.

For a clothing store, aside from drawing the design sketches, there was basically nothing else for her to do.

The main reason she wanted to open a clothing store was that current women’s fashion was, frankly, a huge disappointment.

Especially maternity wear. Besides making the clothes bigger, there was absolutely no sense of style.

With that, they walked into a random clothing store. A sales associate immediately greeted them. "Welcome! What can I help you two find today?"

Jiang Li asked, "Do you have anything that would fit me?"

The sales associate glanced Jiang Li up and down, then said apologetically, "I’m sorry, miss, but we probably don’t have anything here that would suit you."

Jiang Li’s expression darkened. ’Just because my belly is a little bigger, there’s not a single thing I can wear? That’s a bit ridiculous.’

Shen Yanzhi’s face fell. "My wife has a great figure, doesn’t she? How could you have nothing that fits her?"

The sales associate explained, "It’s mainly because your wife is pregnant. Her belly is a little big, so our clothes would probably be too restrictive."

Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "Forget it. Let’s go."

If her desire to open a clothing store had been at sixty percent before, it was now at a solid one hundred percent.

’Since I can’t buy any suitable clothes, I’ll just make my own.’

’I know how to draw designs, anyway. I’ll just find a few people who can make clothes. How hard can it be?’

Men might vent their frustrations by smoking, drinking, or playing video games.

But a woman’s method is much simpler: shop, shop, shop.

Jiang Li went into full-on shopping spree mode, spending with abandon.

From garbage bags to luxury goods, she ended up spending several billion. Only then did Jiang Li’s mood finally improve.

Back home, she sent Shen Yanzhi away and called Sheng Mingyue into the study.

She stated her needs simply and clearly: "I want to open a clothing store and create my own brand. I’ll only be providing the design schematics; you’ll arrange everything else."

Sheng Mingyue nodded and took out her phone. "What’s the budget? And what’s our target market?"

If Jiang Li didn’t give her a clear objective, she wouldn’t know how to proceed.

Despite her high intelligence, she was just a bionic robot—only slightly more advanced than an intelligent AI.

Jiang Li rested her chin in her hand. "There is no budget. As for the target market, I want everyone to be able to wear our clothes. We can also accept private commissions for custom pieces."

After all, her reason for opening the store was to allow more people to buy clothes they truly loved, regardless of their height or weight.

"Understood. I’ll start looking for a storefront right away."

’She just spent several billion in one go. I have to find a way to earn it back, one way or another.’

With the clothing store matter settled, Jiang Li’s ambition grew. She tapped her finger on the desk. "I also want to acquire some companies. Help me see which ones are the most valuable."

Sheng Mingyue’s fingers danced across her phone screen. Finally, she began rattling off names as if reading from a menu: "The most valuable companies right now are Majestic Real Estate, Ice Blue Technology, Ai Rui Medical, Longde New Energy, Huanwu Era AI, and Beiyi International."

Jiang Li nodded pensively. "Then let’s acquire all of them."

It was a good thing Sheng Mingyue was just a bionic robot. If it had been Liu Qian, her eyes would have gone wide with shock.

’Does Jiang Li even hear the words coming out of her own mouth?!’

’These are all publicly traded companies. Acquiring even one of them would be difficult, yet Jiang Li wanted to acquire them all in one fell swoop.’

’Of course, anyone who knew her knew she had the means. But to an outsider, she would sound like she was drunk and spouting nonsense.’

That’s why Sheng Mingyue simply said, "Okay."

To help Sheng Mingyue complete the acquisitions, Jiang Li immediately clarified her stance. "I’ll just be the owner behind the scenes. I won’t participate in any company decisions. However the companies operated before is how they’ll operate in the future. The CEOs will get an eight-figure monthly salary."

’Since they’re all valuable companies, they’re sure to make me a lot of money.’

Because Sheng Mingyue was absolutely loyal to her, Jiang Li had already given her a bank card specifically for handling matters like this.
