Chapter 422 Try VIP Shopping!
Itaewon, a global village in South Korea, is home to travelers from all over the world, as well as some foreigners who have come to settle in South Korea. Also because there are more foreigners living here, the food here is diversified, and food from all over the world is concentrated in Itaewon. What about Mexican food, American BBQ, Japanese sushi restaurants, Chinese dim sum restaurants, etc...
After Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien parked their cars, they walked in the alleys here. The shops in the alleys are all very unique, and the various boutiques, restaurants, and cafes are all very beautiful.
This is Li Zhien's first time to manage a group tour. Because it is very inconvenient for Li Zhien to go out in South Korea, she will try to minimize the possibility of going out in Seoul. Even on her days off, she is either in the studio or at home.
She had never wandered around like this in Korea because she was worried that her travel would cause trouble to the people around her. But today she doesn't have so many worries, just because she wants to enjoy the same way of love as ordinary people like Zhang Pingan, eating and shopping. On weekdays, she tried her best to avoid going out, but today she didn't want to avoid it.
Moreover, the two of them have already been photographed in Busan. Do they still care about being photographed in Seoul now? Since her debut, Li Zhien has only been photographed going out with Zhang Pingan. To be precise, only Zhang Pingan has been photographed with her.
Jingjing Tuan Road not only has exquisite decoration shops, but also gourmet restaurants. The two of them have no need for decorations at the moment. Although the cute ceramic decorations in front of them are really beautiful, Li Zhien is not very interested in them. Li Zhien's character is a bit like Kim Jong Kook. They are both very generous people to their friends and people around them, but their requirements for themselves have become very simple.
She doesn't have any special requirements for her dress, and she doesn't pay attention to what famous brands she wears. When it comes to food, she is even simpler. Even a simple meal of noodle soup can be eaten with gusto. The same is true for Kim Jong Kook. He always wears sportswear and sneakers in his private servers. But is Kim Jong Kook limited by his figure? Because if his muscles put on a shirt or something, the sleeves would collapse?
Car, because she didn't have a driver's license, so Li Zhien didn't know much about cars. Anyway, she rarely goes out on weekdays. If she travels overseas, instead of following Yoo In Na, she will have Zhang Pingan by her side, so she has no need for a car and doesn't need to take a driver's license test.
Regarding food, clothing, housing and transportation, Li Zhien really didn’t have any special requirements from his own perspective.
But she keeps in mind the people she has worked with and the seniors she has worked with. For example, Park Myung-soo receives wild health products such as ginseng from Lee Ji-eun every year during the Chinese New Year. There are also male actors who have collaborated with her in music videos who have also given her luxury coats worth millions of won. The girls we have worked with also buy luxury bags, accessories, clothing, etc.
Kim Jong Kook is also such a person. He is willing to buy things for his younger brothers and treat them to top-notch cuisine. For myself, even using an extra grid of toilet paper won't do.
When Zhang Ping'an stood in front of a soft decoration store, looking at some exquisite ceramic works, he smiled and said to Li Zhien beside him: "Don't you buy some? These ceramics are quite beautiful."
Looking at those ceramic ornaments, Li Zhien shook his head and said: "These things are not very interesting. I am not like Sister Renna, who likes to dress up the home very cutely. I prefer my own home to be more refreshing and simple, these useless things I never buy anything.”
Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien left the store with a smile.
As he walked, he said, "I noticed that you rarely spend money on yourself?"
"I don't think there's anything I want to buy, and I haven't traveled much overseas in the past two years. I don't have any particular emphasis on airport fashion, so I really don't know where to spend money on myself."
Listening to Li Zhien's words, he smiled and said, "That's because you don't go out on weekdays!"
"whee."
Zhang Pingan looked at her smile and said, "Let's go, today I will show you what it means to shop like a rich man!" After saying that, Zhang Pingan picked up the phone. This was the first time he called 'Ms. Li': "Hello, Ms. Li, my name is Zhang Ping'an. I want to go shopping at New Century Department Store's main store today. Can you arrange a VIP room?"
"Don't Ping An have a VIP card from a department store? OK, I'll contact you. Really, I don't know how 'Xiao Zheng' does things."
The 'Xiao Zheng' in her mouth is the vice president of New Century, because after his mother retreated from the background, he became the actual head of New Century and E-Mart!
"Excuse me, I may be at the hotel in half an hour!"
After Zhang Pingan hung up the phone, Li Zhien looked at him blankly and said, "Ms. Li in your mouth is not the one in the hotel I imagined, is it?"
"It must be her. I don't know the 'Ms. Lee' from Korean Air who was in the news. I have always heard that Korean department stores have a 'VIP' system, but I have never obtained a VIP card. Today Let’s go see what’s going on with VIP?”
Li Zhien smiled bitterly and said: "Um...you just called to get a feel for the department store's 'VIP' system? I don't think this is necessary at all, right?"
Zhang Pingan shook his head and said, "Hey, I have never enjoyed the extravagance of the rich second generation. I just watched TV and knew that those VIPs made a phone call to the department store when shopping, and they sent what they needed? I wonder if it's true?"
Li Zhien didn't know what the VIP of the department store was like. She tilted her head and said, "It should be? I don't know either."
Li Zhien knew that Zhang Pingan was not the kind of extravagant person in private life, otherwise she wouldn't love him so deeply. Just like when she went to Japan to travel with him, it was plain, leisurely and comfortable. So when she heard that Zhang Pingan wanted to try the life of the rich second generation, and tried it in a "fun" way, Li Zhien didn't stop him.
Because Zhang Pingan knew the top families in South Korea, it also showed that his family in China must be good. He didn't get a VIP card of a department store from such a family? This is enough to explain everything.
In addition, he often wore "AD" clothes, which showed that he was not a person who pursued luxury. So today's attempt is a curious experience, right? Of course, ordinary people who want to experience it don't have such an opportunity.
......
Zhang Pingan took Li Zhien to the main building of Shinsegae in Myeongdong. When his car arrived at Shinsegae, there was already a man in a suit guiding him at the door. He did not go in through the main entrance to shop, but drove around the Shinsegae Department Store and turned to a side door. The car was parked outside the side door, and a specialist parked it for Zhang Pingan in the parking lot of the department store.
After Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien got out of the car together, a woman in a professional suit came to the two of them with a friendly smile and introduced herself: "Mr. Zhang, Ms. Li, hello, I am Lin Huiyan, the director of the VIP group of Shinsegae Department Store. Our president specifically asked me to serve you today. Please follow me."
Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien followed behind the VIP director, as surprised as country people who had just arrived in the city. Zhang Pingan whispered in Li Zhien's ear: "Just like in the TV series, VIP service here."
Li Zhien also tried such top-level service for the first time. She kept nodding beside Zhang Pingan. It turned out that "VIP" shopping really doesn't require going to the store.
While wondering about everything here, the two followed the VIP director into the VIP channel, and then took a special elevator to the top floor of the department store.
Along the way, Zhang Pingan showed surprise from time to time, which made Li Zhien feel funny, because she felt that he was like a rich second generation who had never enjoyed a luxurious life.
In one sentence: not like a rich second generation!
The lounge on the top floor is specially provided for "VIPs". In fact, it is a room like a conference room, surrounded by glass, with spacious sofas and a long table in the room. After Zhang Pingan and the others entered the VIP room, the director picked up a remote control and pressed it, and the transparent glass immediately misted, blocking the view outside and protecting the absolute privacy of Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien in the room.
