The Japanese style kneeling posture looks simple, but it is not easy to sit elegantly, beautifully and easily. Simon, who sit cross-legged first, has already stretched out his hand to help Begonia, but unexpectedly, he finds Begonia's movements are standard and her body movement seems effortlessly to get such beauty.
Even the strict Miss Yamamoto is surprised for a second.
"This is the new domestic curator that I introduced to Mr. Masato Yamamoto, Begonia! Since Mr. Masato seems to want to learn some new ideas recently, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Begonia's talent!"
"I don't think it's necessary!"
Yamamoto's niece is already well know among business partners, but Simon does not expect her rejection so directly!
"Is there any change in Mr. Masato's schedule?" Simon implies the schedule is setteled by Yamamoto Masato himself and Ms. Yamamoto as his niece has no righ to reject!
"My uncle is a well-known Japanese designer. He always pursues perfection in his clothes and works! The partners we need must be the same!"
Simon understand the implication of Miss Yamamoto's words and wants to fight for it.
Begonia speaks first.
"Ms. Yamamoto makes such an arbitrary judgment before I even introduce my proposal. This is too hasty!"
There is a slight smell of tension between the two women just like two hunting lions.
"For someone who can't even pursue perfection in her own clothes, I don't believe her designs can be perfect!"
Ms. Yamamoto's words clearly reflects her own personality.
From her kimono and makeup to her hair to her heels, her sitting posture and her tone of voice, Ms. Yamamoto seems to be using everything to emphasize how perfect she is. And her perfection is built with money.
"If Miss Yamamoto's definition of perfection is exquisiteness, expensiveness, and money, I think this is too narrow!"
Simon lowers his chin slightly, trying not to show his emotions.
Simon is very interested in which of the two women would be a better debator.
"Have you ever worn Yamamoto Masato's clothes? If not, you have no right to judge me!"
"If you can only understand Mr. Yamamoto's art by wearing his clothes, then Mr. Yamamoto would not become the ultimate representative of the pursuit of nature in everyone's mind! However, Mr. Yamamoto has reached a high position and received so much praise that everyone has forgotten Mr. Yamamoto's original intention of designing..."
Begonia speaks like a fluent river.
"That is to let clothes return to their original attributes. Let clothes adapt to people, let people wear them comfortably, and let people not be judged by the difference in clothes. Whether it is coarse cloth or gorgeous clothes, the real art is the connotation expressed, not just showing off!"
Begonia stand up.
"My clothes are simple and cheap, but they fit my figure and there is nothing disrespectful about them."
Begonia knows that there might be another person behind the sliding door at the back of the box.
"My regret today is the disillusionment with the ideals that Mr. Yamamoto once preached..."
She take another look at the Japanese woman who had an angry expression on her face.
"But your regret is that you miss a brand new story that is integrated with the brand! So, goodbye!"
Simon guesses Begonia is play a chinese trick on Yamamoto by moving back, but he doesn't expect that she would actually leave so easily.
However, in deep heart, Simon is not very optimistic that Begonia could get the job. After all, everyone in the industry knows how high Yamamoto's requirements are.
Simom's attent is just taking this opportunity to get close to Begonia!
What's more, the hot-tempered side of Begonia shown today is quite interesting. Simon thinks it is good that it ends so quickly, as he could spend the remaining time to have some fun with Begonia.
Only Begonia herself knows how much sweat her hands shed as she is about to open the door.
Begonia really needs this opportunity!
This risky move is a last resort! Begonia is betting on her words will touch the heart of Yamamoto since they are the true understanding when she tasts Yamamoto's work.
This may be what is called character determines destiny. Even to this day, Begonia has not learned to distort herself in order to please others or to bow down to them.
"Wait a moment!"
The sliding door behind Miss Yamamoto opens by someone, and a dignified man walks out. It was the real Masato Yamamoto.
"Ms. Begonia, you are right! I often feel that I have been running out of inspiration recently. Perhaps it is because I have forgotten my original intention! Please stay. I want to hear your thoughts."
"Uncle!" Miss Yamamoto seems to have not expecte that her uncle would discount her like this.
"Miko, your decisiveness is indeed something we need by the group, but don't let it turn into stubbornness! Do you understand?"
As dusk deepened, the door of the box was opened again.
Yamamoto Masato personally see Begonia and Simon off.
"Begonia, I'm sorry that I have to fly back to Japan tonight to deal with some matters, but I think we will meet again soon. Please let me have the honor of having dinner with you then!"
"Well, goodbye, both of you!"
After getting on the elevator, Begonia couldn't help but clench her fist to celebrate for herself!
"Congratulations, Begonia!" Simon cheers for Begonia with a smile!
Simon really does great help in getting this opportunity, and Begonia naturally expresses her gratitude sincerely.
The elevator is about to reach the first floor when Simon receives a unwelcome phone call. Begonia bows again, and not wanting to disturb him any further, she trot away!
Simon feels a little angry and a little amused, but he has to answer the call.
Simon responds with his mouth, but his eyes followes Begonia.
Does Begonia rushes to see the man who just sent her here before?
Simon is so curious about what Begonia will do!
Yes, in the afternoon, Simon actually went to the first floor of the lobby to pick up Begonia, but when he saw Begonia coming in with a man, he somehow stood a little behind the pillar.
But why does Begonia go to the store they had been to before?
Begonia goes in with the bag.
A few minutes later, she come out with empty-handed.
Simon finds things going more interesting. Don't you expect Begonia to be so short of money?
It seems that this corner is not that solid!
By what Begonia just does, Simon judges that man is not a competitive rival in love.
"Okay, I'll go back and deal with this matter!" After saying that, he hungs up the phone and blocks Begonia, who is coming out after returning her clothes, at the door.
"I suggest Begonia is not going to take responsibility!"
The sudden appearance of this resentful tone scares Begonia who is still thinking about something in her mind!
"Mr. Simon!"
"Call me Simon!" Simon emphasizes again.
"At least I did a favor! Is it too much for Begonia to invite me to a meal?"
Begonia originally wants to refuse, but as a former member of this group of people, Begonia knows very well that sometimes refusal would only make them more interested. It would be better to let them know that Begonia is just an ordinary person in deep trouble.
To satisfy there curiosity and then they will leave.
Shatter their fantasies, all mortal beings are the same!
"Okay!" When Begonia nods, Simon actually feels relieved.
Simon is also a little surprised. The relieve makes him thinks maybe the interest of Begonia is more than he thought?
After getting into a flashy red Ferrari, Begonia couldn't help but compare it with Celeste's car.
Although I used to drive a Ferrari two, I feel that the overly sharp lines now don't match Celeste's style, which is grand, steady and pleasing to the eye!
I was indeed a different person comparing the old Begonia!
Begonia just sits in Simon's car, thinking about Celeste, and remains silent all the way.
Simon is not in a hurry to start a conversation, as he still has a whole night ahead of him. However, he glances playfully at the SUV following him in the rearview mirror and feels that tonight seems to be more interesting.
"Stop here!" Simon turns off the car by the roadside according to Begonia's instructions.
Begonia runs into a vegetable market, and Simon then realizes, is Begonia going to cook for himself tonight?
Cooking for the first date is a rare experience for Simon.
Simon thinks that maybe he could grill a steak or make a salad together, which would be more interesting if they could interact more!
Begonia's action is very quickly. In just seven or eight minutes, she comes out carrying three plastic bags.
Three small flat plastic bags, they don't look like steaks at all.
"Let's go!" The first thing Begonia does when she gets in the car is to fasten her seat belt. "Let's go to the Children's Hospital!"
Simon's doubts reach their peak when he drives in the Children's Hospital and followes Begonia's instructions in the huge parking lot.
Finally, at the end of the road, Begonia finally calls for a stop.
Begonia looks at Simon's indescribable expression, left the door of the RV open, and starts cooking first.
After all, it is completely dark. Elaine has taken care of her sister in the hospital all day long and has no time to eat.
Begonia quickly puts the purchased chicken legs into a small pressure cooker to make soup.
Chop a piece of pork with the size of a child's fist into minced meat, fry it, add eggs and chopp green peppers, and the cold rice in the rice cooker, and simply season it with soy sauce, salt and chili powder, and a simple plate of fried rice is ready.
Simon finds himself uncomfortable into the car, because in his life he has never in such a small room ! How can people live like this ! The place is so small that he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet!
Although he knows that Begonia is extraordinary, Simon does not expect her to be so extraordinary.
Begonia feels more relaxed in her own territory.
After the meal is ready, Begonia first puts the chicken soup into the thermos lunch box, tores the chicken thighs into strips, and then adds chopped green onions, pepper and salt to season them.
Simon is used to eating good food, and his cook experience is only containg things like steak, but his eyes is full of curiocity when he is watch Begonia's movement.
Although Begonia doesn't have much money to buy some special food, she thinks that her cooking skills has definitely improved under Elaine's training.
Then pack the fried rice for Elaine.
"You see, this is my condition! What I told you last time is the truth. This is how a poor woman in debt lives! So I really don't mean to talk about love! Today, my greatest expression of gratitude is just a bowl of fried rice, and when I receive the project payment from Mr. Yamamoto..."
Begonia feels a little distressed and decided to tell the truth.
"However, you are a big boss, and you probably wouldn't care about the small amount of money for a meal. I'm going to deliver the meal now, so why don't you..." Begonia pickes up the coat on the hook, but she doesn't expect that there is someone standing in front of the car door and watching her.
