Chapter 437: Chapter 436: That Gril Fashion Boutique

Los Angeles, on a certain street.

That Girl Fashion Boutique opened today in a very low-key manner.

"Wow, I have to say Kyle, you are really low-key!"

The man speaking had been complaining all the way from Kyle’s Burbank Villa. It was none other than Kyle’s old friend, the former ace negotiator Kandy!

Kyle looked around and, under the signal of the security personnel, got out of the car: "Kandy, although That Girl Fashion Boutique is under my banner, the person in charge right now is Lima. And Lima, you know her, her current level is just a half-baked amateur."

And it was true!

It had only been a year since Lima retired from the modeling industry. Even before she retired, she had started studying fashion design, but when it came to her level, it was truly... hard to describe.

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Kandy immediately laughed and said: "Is Lima’s design level really as bad as you say?"

Kyle shrugged and said: "It’s not that her level is bad, it’s that she only sells products she designs herself. Do you know? To date, she has only designed one lady’s handbag and one winter trench coat."

"That’s it?" Kandy was stunned.

"Yeah, that’s it." Kyle nodded heavily.

Kandy couldn’t help but complain: "Then I finally understand... why you are so unusually low-key."

In Kandy’s perception, Kyle was the type of person who would talk about acting low-key, but often had a very high-profile style, and even liked to show off.

Could he not be low-key this time?

That Girl Fashion Boutique only opened one store.

That’s right, only one in the world.

In the investment project of That Girl Fashion Boutique, Lima invested nearly one million U.S. dollars, mainly used to purchase the store’s property; Kyle also co-invested 1 million U.S. dollars, holding 49% of the shares, including personnel recruitment and so on.

It can be said that That Girl Fashion Boutique is currently a small workshop, the smallest investment and smallest scale industry under Kyle.

"Eh? You and Lima don’t plan to expand the business, you’re really just opening one store?"

Kandy said halfway, then changed his words: "Fine, pretend I didn’t say that, after all, Lima doesn’t sell other brands’ items. However, I can already see the future of this store, it won’t make money!"

Kyle’s face stiffened, and he gave Kandy an eye-roll: "Come on, buddy, do you think I, a dignified super-rich man, need this one store to make money?"

Kandy laughed heartily.

...

"Boss, welcome!"

"Mr. Kandy, welcome!"

Just after entering That Girl Fashion Boutique, Kyle and Kandy were warmly welcomed by the staff inside.

The lead staff member, named Susan, was a 30-year-old woman who had previously worked at fashion stores like LV and Burberry. Of course, her most recent job was serving as the deputy director of the public relations department for the SpongeBob House Merchandise Chain Store.

"Susan, where is Lima?" Kyle asked after looking around.

"She is in the design room in the back," Susan replied.

Kyle immediately didn’t delay and walked towards the back design room. As for Kandy, haha, they were all his own friends, no need for extra greetings.

"Susan, you left your job at SpongeBob House just to hide here, don’t you think it’s a waste of your talent?" Kandy asked.

Kandy knew Susan before; he knew her capabilities.

Not to mention anything else, Susan previously served as the deputy director of the public relations department for the SpongeBob House Merchandise Chain Store, and her annual salary was at least over $150,000. However, choosing to be the store manager of That Girl Fashion Boutique, her income would definitely drop sharply.

Most importantly, personal development space was greatly reduced.

Of course, the reason Kandy asked this was because he had ideas about this single woman, Susan.

"Haha!"

Susan looked at Kandy, her beautiful eyes raised, and she laughed: "Kandy, do you think working for the boss’s girlfriend will limit my future development?"

Kandy suddenly realized.

"You’re amazing, this is undoubtedly a shortcut!" Kandy couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

Not long after...

Less than half an hour before the official opening of That Girl Fashion Boutique, the friends Kyle invited arrived one after another.

The people invited this time were true friends, not business partners.

Of course, accordingly, there wouldn’t be many people present today.

Pixar Animation’s John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton were the first two to arrive after Kyle.

"Hi, congratulations, Lima!" Lasseter gave Lima a big hug.

Andrew Stanton did the same.

"Thank you for coming." Lima responded generously.

Kyle smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, we’re all friends here, no need to be too polite."

Lasseter laughed immediately: "That’s right. But, Kyle, your low-key doesn’t seem very low-key, does it?"

"That’s right!"

Andrew Stanton echoed: "I saw the latest Billboard pop music chart. Goodfellas, you actually switched careers to become a singer. The single ’That Girl’ actually ranked in the top 5 of this week’s popularity chart."

"Our boss, Jobs, shook his head directly after knowing this. He simply didn’t believe it, well, he even doubted life a little."

Lasseter and Andrew crazily complained about Kyle and Jobs, especially about Jobs, they really had no scruples at all.

Not to mention anything else, if Jobs were to fire them both, then the entire Big Six of Hollywood, including Kyle, would absolutely scramble to snatch them up.

Talent is hard to come by!

...

That Girl Fashion Boutique officially opened!

Shortly after, two customers entered the store.

A man and a woman, both young, obviously a couple.

"Mary, the name of this fashion store is interesting, it’s actually the same as the song ’That Girl’." The boy, Brown Michael, smiled.

The girl, Mary, couldn’t help but nod, saying: "You don’t say, it really is."

"Hello you two, welcome to That Girl Fashion Boutique."

The person speaking was none other than John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, and of course, Kyle and Lima.

Today, as the first day of opening, in the morning session, all the staff in the store were in the back, and the people responsible for sales in the front were Kyle’s friends. In their words, today they were here to work for Kyle and Lima.

Bad taste!

"Ah~~~!"

Suddenly, the girl Mary couldn’t help but exclaim: "My God! You are Mr. John Lasseter, is it real?!"

The boy, Brown Michael: "..."

At this moment, facing such an ecstatic girlfriend Mary, the boy Brown Michael was truly full of questions.

The girl Mary jumped on the spot, pulling her boyfriend, and shouted: "Brown Michael, he is Mr. John Lasseter, the director of the animated movie ’Toy Story’!"

"What? Is it real?!"

At this moment, the boy Brown Michael was also shocked.

The girl Mary was 19 years old this year and had just enrolled in the computer animation design major at Stanford University for less than half a year. The reason she chose the animation design major was because in 1995, she saw ’Toy Story’ in the cinema and desperately wanted to join this industry.

John Lasseter was undoubtedly the animation god that the girl Mary admired very much.

"That’s right, I am the John Lasseter you’re talking about." Lasseter was also in a great mood.
