42 Quarrel

If Grace fell in love with this weird Japanese just because of this little thing, it would be too overestimated his masculine charm, but there must be a favorable feeling--until many years later, Grace also admitted that she had a good impression of Ike when she entered his studio under the name of fitting and got the answer to the topic of respect in his mouth.

Of course, Ai Fei didn't know that this beautiful American girl had a little bit of affection for him. He completely treated the other party as a good customer. For him, there was still an infinite distance between considering personal issues. Not to mention Grace, even Audrey Hepburn, who was very willing to be with her, he always treated him as an ordinary customer.

I prepared the clothing samples that I needed to stay in the hotel tomorrow, and took Yumiya Jingzi to dinner in the restaurant at the doorstep, and then returned to my home.

"Does people in New York pay attention to the Japanese in this way?"

"Of course not." Ai Fei dragged his suit and handed it to her. The latter naturally reached out to take it and hung it up: "It's just because it was a little surprised to see a Japanese lady like you for the first time. In fact, they were all very good people."

"I understand! Are you going to have something to drink? Coffee?"

"No, I want to take a break early today. Pour me a glass of water."

"Hi Yi!" Yumiya Iko seemed to have become like she was in China again. She poured him a glass of water in front of her: "Sir?"

"Tell me about the situation in China? How is the situation in "Ju Children's Animation Club" now?"

"Hi!" Yumiya Iko sat down in front of him, and put her hands on her knees naturally: "Since the president left, the company's situation has continued as usual. At the weekly meeting, Fuji-kun always reports to everyone about the revenue of the advertising department, and then Kato-kun and Torishima Kun introduced the publication, printing and distribution. Well, the animation department in charge of Torishima Kun received invitations from Torishima Kun and Torishima Kun in the first month of your departure, hoping to get permission and reach a contract with us for the development of anime movies in the new stage. However, Torishima Kun has always rejected the other party's request on the grounds that this matter was specially entrusted by the president when he left."

"uh-huh?"

"...There is another situation about Iris Jun you mentioned. According to his request, Tanaka Kan withdraws 14 million yen of cash from the company's books in two times. Of course, this was approved at the company's regular meeting. Moreover, Iris Jun personally signed the receipt and certificate."

Ai Fei smiled coldly: "His appetite is really big!"

"Mr. President, do you think there will be any problems with this matter?"

"I don't think so! Iris is not a fool. He knows exactly what it means to withdraw so much cash from our company, let alone leave his withdrawal certificate. No matter how big the investment is, it is acceptable at this stage, as long as you can get corresponding returns in the future! Oh, what's the situation with the advertising department?"

"Hi Yi! The Advertising Department is in a very good situation! Through the release of our magazines and the release of videos, especially in the United States, and the two months before leading the films to the United States for screening, the company's advertising department's revenue has reached an average of 300 million yen per month! "Jump" magazine has surpassed Yomiuri Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun in China's most influential graphic media."

"Very good! Oh, last year., how was the year-end bonus payment?"

"Hi! Each person is 200,000 yen. One of the president's shares was sent to the mansion by Fujikun, Katokun, and me."

"Is there mine?" Ai Fei smiled: "It's hard for you."

"Where?" Yumiya Jingzi also burst into laughter: "You are the president! Of course you need one of yours. Oh, when I went there last year?"

"What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Sakiko is sick."

Ai Fei stood up suddenly, his face rarely looked stern, and he shouted angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about this? What did you do?"

"I'm sorry!" Yumiya Iko immediately bowed deeply: "I'm very sorry! However, this is Mrs. Yukiko's repeated requests! I don't want to refuse."

"You...you get up first." Ai Fei waved his hand: "Is my mother's illness very serious?"

"Ah, no! My wife's illness is just a slight cold. I have asked the doctor to see it and prescribed a lot of medicines. In less than a week, it has returned to normal."

"Where is my father? How is his body?"

"Hi Yi! Ai Jun is in very good health."

Ai Fei scratched his head bitterly: "No, I will go back immediately after this matter is over! Yugong, you are responsible for booking the ticket, and we will go back together."

"Hi!"

"You ran for a day today and were very tired. Let's take a break early. Just in the room downstairs, you won't choose a bed, right?"

Yumiya smiled with a funny lips: "Hi! I don't choose any bed."

"So good night."

"Good night."

Early the next morning, Ai Fei was woken up by the busy sound in the kitchen. It was really good to walk downstairs to look up. Yugong Jingzi had already started preparing breakfast for him: fried poached eggs, oily ham slices, roasted hot bread slices, and a large cup of steaming milk. Well, it made people's index fingers tremble: "Ah! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Hi Yi!" Yumiya Iko bowed quickly: "Good morning!"

"Good morning! Are you busy getting up very early?"

"Where? I just got up. Are you going to eat now?"

"I can't wait." Ai Fei smiled and sat at the dining table, picked up the knife and fork: "Then, I'm starting to move. Oh, you sit down and eat together, right?"

"Hi!" Yumiya Jingzi agreed, cleaned the kitchen again, then sat opposite him, picked up a piece of bread and ate it.

"Well, it's so delicious!" Ai Fei was filled with food, and he was a little vague when he spoke: "What should I do if there is no Yugongjun? Haha... you made an extremely correct decision!"

"But...I'm worried that Fujikun will get angry after I go back?"

"Don't be afraid, I will talk to you when I go back with you. Well, remember to remind me?"

"you?"

Ai Fei laughed loudly: "I'm kidding you. Don't worry, I won't really make him lose his temper at you."

After breakfast, Arimiya took him a suit and had already mentioned that he had prepared a tie and shirt: "Are there any arrangements today?"

"The main thing is to send the designed clothes to the hotel, and then pass the other party's review and get the due fee from them. This matter is completed. Oh, I remembered that I asked you to book the boat ticket yesterday, so I'd better go there myself. You are not very skilled in English and are afraid that you can't explain it clearly."

"Sorry! I've caused you trouble because of my reasons."

"Where is it! The most important thing about language is an environment. As long as you contact Americans more, your English will soon make great progress." Ai Fei put on his clothes and suddenly looked back at her: "Yugong, if you really want to be with me in the United States, who do you think will be the right person to take over the financial supervisor in the company?"

"Before I came to the United States this time, I had visited Ai Jun's mansion. One was to visit Ai Jun and his wife, and the other was to see if they had any gifts they needed to bring you. During the conversation, I knew that Ai Jun seemed to have the intention to resign from the company, so I thought, if you want, and Ai Jun also agreed..."

"You mean, let my dad come to the company for your position?"

"May I?"

"Of course, it's OK. But, he has to ask for his opinion on this matter. You also know that if a father is allowed to work in his son's company, and his position is under... me, this is probably a job that many people cannot accept!"

"…………” Faced with his doubts, Yugong really didn't know how to explain the advice, so he had to choose to remain silent.

"I'll consider this matter after I return to China." He couldn't make a decision for a while: "I'd better wait until I asked my father's opinion. If there is really no suitable candidate, Yumiya, you may have to stay in China for a while! Well, let's go, don't let others wait in a hurry."

"Hi!"

He had no words all the way, and he shipped the clothes to the Hilton Hotel and handed them to Mr. Wheeler. This time he met, Mr. Wheeler was much more polite to him. Even Mr. Andrew, who had always disliked him, took the initiative to pour him coffee, but he still didn't say anything.

Ai Fei ignored him and knew that the other party would not listen to what he said at this time. After all, his father died at the hands of the Japanese. It was normal for him to have some resentment towards him, but he focused his attention on Wheeler: "Mr. Wheeler, if possible, can Miss Hepburn try on our clothes? If some size issues are necessary, we can also rest on the spot?"

"Ah, yes, Miss Audrey? You can try it first now." After she walked into the room next door, the old man turned back and said to him: "I don't think there is any need for the size issue! The crew has professional costumers. If there are indeed problems with the size, they will be responsible for rest."

"Okay," Ai Fei picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Mr. Wheeler, can we say goodbye if there is nothing else?"

“What about the cost issue?”

"Uh... Regarding the issue of fees, I originally wanted to talk about it when I met Mr. Andrew last time, but he seemed to be in a hurry and didn't seem to care much about this issue...so?"

Everyone smiled, only Andrew's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.

Wheeler barely stopped laughing: "Okay, what about the specific numbers?"

"Yes, the total cost of this princess dress is $1,250."

Wheeler frowned and was about to say it was too expensive. When the door rang, Audrey walked out slowly: wearing a princess dress carefully designed by Ai Fei and professionally made by tailors, which made the girl with an already elegant temperament more radiant. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, and a shy smile was on her delicate face. The only regret was that there was a crown missing on her head. Even so, it still made everyone present lose voice.

"Great!" After a while, Wheeler finally sighed and stood up on the sofa: "Dear, this... this is really great! Mr. Ike, thank you, thank you for your work!"

If Grace's first two arrivals had a very legitimate reason, Ai Fei was a little confused: What's wrong with this girl? Why do you always come to your studio? You don't talk when you come, just sit quietly, watch your subordinates work, and then say a few words to yourself and leave? What's the tone? I'm asking her if I think it's inappropriate: What's wrong with someone sitting here for a while? It won't get in the way.

Not only did he find it strange, but the rest of his studio also found it strange: Grace is not a household name in the United States, but her beauty is well known. Now she actually reports to this small studio with plain face every day. What's going on?

In fact, the most strange thing is not them, but Grace herself! Even she doesn't know what she is thinking! She hopes to sit in Mr. Ike's studio for a while every day, as if she can get a little peace here. God knows that she is a proud daughter of heaven. Is it still impossible to get protection from others? But things are so strange. In Grace's heart, getting protection from others has become a part of her life, but she also feels something abnormal, especially after having such a conversation with Ai Fei, she once paid special attention to the look of others looking at her, which always contains too much material desire! To put it simply, it seems that the respect and protection from others are all about getting something from herself!

And this kind of look was not found in Mr. Ike's eyes. He always looked at himself with a very strange, defensive look. Even when his eyes touched him, he did not restrain himself at all. He was absolutely not like others, for fear that he would look at them. Every time he encountered such a situation, he would immediately turn his head and pretend to deliberately not take her seriously. Little did he know that such a behavior would add a bit of ridiculousness to the lady's eyes!

Another thing that others cannot compare with is Ai Fei's attitude towards her. He never treats her like a princess, and almost says whatever he has. During the occasional conversation, he did not care about the lady's feelings at all and pointed out her problems outright: especially when it comes to the issue of women smoking.

Ai Fei didn't ask her to quit smoking - this had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it! All he asked was not to let her smoke in his studio! God knows that the studio was full of paper, documents, and fabrics of clothes, which were all flammable. If the fire broke out, the consequences were unimaginable! He didn't say much when she smoked the first time. On the second time, he finally couldn't help it: "Ms. Kelly, I hope you don't smoke in my studio, okay? I want to consider the safety of my surroundings."

“…………”

"Don't understand? You are surrounded by flammable products. If your cigarette butts fall to the ground and ignite these clothing fabrics, I'm afraid none of us will escape! They will all be burned to ashes by this fire!"

Grace stared at him with her clear blue eyes and slowly squatted out the cigarette butt: "Mr. Ike? Remember you once said that respect for women is the minimum politeness and cultivation of every man?"

"These are two things! Miss Kelly." Ai Fei pushed back hard: "Maybe you think smoking a cigarette is very simple and will not cause any consequences, but in such an environment, considering the safety of more people, I think respect for one person can make way for more people's lives. For me, respecting others is first and foremost a choice made on the basis of respecting other people's lives."

Grace was really angry. No one had ever spoken to her like this! She looked at Ai Fei's familiar face and sneered: "Mr. Ike, I don't think my behavior would endanger other people's lives."

"This is just your personal explanation. Believe me, Miss Kelly. If there is a tragic result, all the words of apologizing and tears of regret will definitely not offset the pain caused to others and to other people's families!"

"I think, on this issue, we have nothing to do to continue. Goodbye!"

"If you still maintain this point of view, Miss Kelly, I think we'd better not meet!"

Grace was furious, stomped her feet hard, and grabbed her bag: "As you wish, Mr. Ike, it's better not to meet!"

Seeing Grace walk out of the studio angrily, the girls such as Yumiya Iko were stunned: "..."

"What are you doing?"

"Ai Jun, isn't it too rude for you to be with Miss Kelly like this?"

"Hey? Yuguchi, don't you know? If any little Mars appears, it may become a hellish existence. So let alone Grace, even if the President of the United States comes, you can't smoke here! Monica?"

"Ah, yes, sir."

"When I return home, I must be careful not to let anyone smoke here! If any guest has requests in this regard, tell them our concerns and worries. I believe there will be no guests who slam the door like Miss Kelly?"

Monica nodded with a smile in her arms: "Yes, sir, I understand."

"So, girls, it may take me one to two months to return to China this time. Please ask you for the work on the studio for the time being. When I come back, there will be some brand new designs. Then, we will have another larger fashion show! If everything goes well, it will be in September."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ike, we are willing to take care of the studio for you when you are away.
