Chapter 102: Run~~~! (1622)
Lee Ji-eun was still wondering what kind of help Jiang Shu needed from her, but when Choi Ji-yeon arrived at the office with the receptionist carrying large and small packages, she understood.
Watching Jiang Shu squat down and open a package, revealing what was clearly women's clothing inside, Lee Ji-eun's eyelids twitched.
"These are clothes I bought for my girlfriend. Can you help me see which ones look good?" Jiang Shu greeted Lee Ji-eun with a smile, motioning for her to open the packages.
Lee Ji-eun silently glanced at the closed door and windows. No wonder the President closed off the office before opening the packages.
Wait a minute…
Lee Ji-eun's eyes darted around, looking at Jiang Shu, then at the packages on the floor, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Yes."
She squatted down and joined the package-opening effort.
The efficiency of two people opening packages was much greater than one. Before long, more than ten packages were all opened, and various exquisite outfits were laid out on the office sofa.
Lee Ji-eun glanced at Jiang Shu. He was completely unfazed by the revelation of his 'preferences,' and even looked at the clothes on the sofa with anticipation.
Tsk.
He's really playing it up.
Lee Ji-eun sighed to herself, picking up an item of clothing from the sofa. Is the President training his girlfriend to be a fashion model?
It's like 'Miracle Nikki'.
"Which ones need to be returned?" Jiang Shu's voice came over.
These weren't all uniforms; many were outfits Jiang Shu had put together based on stage costumes he remembered.
Liu Zhimin was tall enough and had a very good figure, so she could easily pull off the look Jiang Shu wanted, making it naturally easier when buying clothes.
"They all work," Lee Ji-eun replied, putting down the clothes in her hand.
"They all work?" Jiang Shu nodded, casually picked up a short-sleeved, fitted black top, glanced at Lee Ji-eun, and smiled.
Speaking of which, he remembered Lee Ji-eun wearing this outfit too?
Lee Ji-eun was stunned by Jiang Shu's gaze. She looked down at the clothes in Jiang Shu's hand, then looked up at Jiang Shu, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"If the President doesn't mind, I can try them on and let the President see the effect."
Jiang Shu was momentarily stunned by her words, looking at Lee Ji-eun in surprise.
Lee Ji-eun also noticed Jiang Shu's surprised look and immediately realized she had misunderstood, thinking to herself, 'Oh no,' but then she heard Jiang Shu's voice.
"Okay."
She looked up and met Jiang Shu's smiling eyes.
Lee Ji-eun immediately reacted and smiled again.
"And put this on too," Jiang Shu said, picking up a pair of black denim shorts and handing them to Lee Ji-eun.
"I'm going to the restroom. Remember to lock the door," Jiang Shu said proactively after Lee Ji-eun took the clothes.
"Yes," Lee Ji-eun replied, bowing to Jiang Shu while holding the clothes.
Jiang Shu smiled and walked out of the office.
Lee Ji-eun stared blankly at the office door for a moment, then suppressed the emotions in her eyes and stepped forward to lock the office door.
Five minutes later, Jiang Shu returned, came to the office door, reached out and pressed the doorknob, and the door was easily pushed open by him.
Walking into the office, Jiang Shu saw Lee Ji-eun, who had changed clothes. His eyes immediately lit up, and he reached out to close the office door.
Looking at Lee Ji-eun in front of him, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Shu smiled and went to the desk, took out a glasses case, took out the round-framed glasses inside, and came to Lee Ji-eun with the glasses.
Lee Ji-eun looked up at Jiang Shu, watching him place the glasses on her face.
"Good," Jiang Shu nodded in satisfaction.
Yes!
This is the feeling!
This is the IU he remembered.
Jiang Shu's gaze gradually grew intense.
Lee Ji-eun lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably, but Jiang Shu had already approached her.
He reached out and cupped Lee Ji-eun's chin, lifting her head, and looking at Lee Ji-eun's small face, Jiang Shu spoke.
"You can still regret it now."
He didn't like to force people, even if he was already a bit impatient.
Lee Ji-eun didn't answer, she just closed her eyes.
Jiang Shu smiled, and leaned down.
...
Click.
The tightly closed office door opened. Choi Ji-yeon looked up at Lee Ji-eun, who came out of the office. Her expression was normal, and her clothes were neat, but...
Choi Ji-yeon moved her gaze upwards, glancing at Lee Ji-eun's flushed lips.
"Secretary Choi," Lee Ji-eun politely bowed to Choi Ji-yeon.
Although she had a deeper interaction with the President, she wasn't the type to bully others, especially when facing Secretary Choi, the President's secretary, so she naturally wouldn't be negligent.
"You're out," Choi Ji-yeon said with a smile, nodding. "Go eat quickly; we still need to prepare for the debut stage this afternoon."
"Mm," Lee Ji-eun nodded at Choi Ji-yeon and turned to leave.
Looking at Lee Ji-eun's back, Choi Ji-yeon let out a 'tsk'.
"Secretary Choi," a female voice sounded in her ear.
Choi Ji-yeon immediately stood up upon hearing this, bowing to the person who arrived.
"President Li!"
"Is the President in the office?"
"Yes, she is."
Li Duohui nodded, knocked on the door, and entered Jiang Shu's office.
As soon as Li Duohui entered, she smelled a faint unusual scent, but under the office's air freshener, the scent was very faint, and she couldn't tell what it was, so she didn't pay it any mind.
She glanced at the basket of women's clothing on the single sofa and bowed to Jiang Shu at the desk.
"President, IU's debut song entered the Melon Daily Chart ten minutes ago."
"It charted?" Jiang Shu, still savoring the wonderful moment, said with some surprise. Lee Ji-eun's bond didn't have a way to boost music chart performance, and her bond hadn't even been activated yet.
It was quite surprising that it made it onto the daily chart.
"Yes, although the growth rate isn't fast, it has steadily charted."
IVE's case is completely incomparable; they debuted at number two and were already number one on the Melon Daily Chart before their music show performance. You won't find another artist with such absurd chart power in all of K-pop.
Lee Ji-eun's case is what's normal, reasonable, and a sign of popular recognition.
"That's good," Jiang Shu nodded.
Li Duohui sat on the sofa and continued, looking at Jiang Shu, "Are you going to Inkigayo with IU this afternoon?"
"Yes."
"That's perfect. Yuan Ying is an MC at Inkigayo. You can consider including her in your vlog," Li Duohui said with a smile.
"Xiao Yuan is an MC at Inkigayo now?" Jiang Shu said in surprise.
"Karina's MC performance at Music Core received a great response, so Inkigayo proactively asked us for Yuan Ying to be an MC," Li Duohui explained.
Jiang Shu nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, it's been a while since I've seen Xiao Yuan."
He was always with Liu Zhimin, so he hadn't seen the other IVE members much.
Oh right, he also wondered about the situation of his "senior" artist, Pei Linlin; there had been no news since she went to S.M.
Tsk.
