The afternoon date did not go well, so Keiko Matsumoto had to put all her last hopes on the date at 7 o'clock that night.

Probably because of the weekend night, the restaurant of the Imperial Hotel in central Tokyo, Ginza Marunouchi, was crowded with diners.

Under the window, the car lights and street lights turned into flowing lights, shining with beautiful gem-like light.

The streets are filled with a dazzling array of commercial advertisements and neon lights, which have become slender ribbons winding along the road, dazzling and extremely psychedelic.

At a table next to the window with a good view, Keiko Matsumoto and President Omi of Nanyang Chemical Fiber and his wife sat across from each other.

Keiko Matsumoto, who was wearing a dark kimono, first served the dishes and asked the Omi couple to eat first.

"Tonight is really rare. I didn't expect to be able to make an appointment with Mr. Omi. Last week, I happened to go to the flower arrangement class in Shibuya again. I heard that the teacher just came back from the UK this month, so I tried

I tried to call you. I didn’t expect that I got in touch with you successfully. Thank you very much for your favor. I am extremely honored..."

Keiko Matsumoto said with gratitude.

The reason why she calls Mrs. Omi her teacher is because Mrs. Omi likes flower art and is well-known in the flower arrangement circle in Tokyo.

Many famous ladies and ladies have studied under her in order to increase their personal accomplishment.

Keiko Matsumoto is no exception. Six years ago, she was recommended by someone and studied in the flower arrangement class taught by Mrs. Omi.

What was even more unexpected was that the two of them got along very well, and their personal relationship was far better than others.

If not for the fact that Mrs. Omi later had to accompany President Omi to England to expand foreign trade business, she had to quit her job teaching flower arrangement.

Most of them can still maintain a good teacher-student relationship.

"Don't say that, Keiko-chan. I'm very happy to receive your call. It seems that you haven't forgotten me as a flower arrangement teacher. How about it? We haven't seen each other for a few years, and our Keiko has become

A big star has won the title of Best Actress. Do you still have the leisure time to play with flowers and plants at home now?"

Mrs. Omi, who was already in her fifties, looked at Matsumoto Keiko with a very loving look.

"Hey, I still practice when I have free time. I was lucky enough to learn the art of flower arrangement from Teacher Omi for more than two years, which really benefited me a lot. I can really realize now that flower arrangement is really good for improving personal accomplishment and elegant behavior.

It's very helpful. And whenever I have troubles at work, I will become calm by playing with flowers and plants. In this way, it seems to become much easier to figure out the role. Otherwise, can I get those awards and still

What else should I say? So I really want to thank the teacher for his teaching."

"Ah, Qingzi has become so good at talking now. It makes me really happy. However, I am very relieved that you can still play with flowers and plants from time to time and realize the benefits. In this case, if you have time, you

Just come home and stay with me. As the president, he is busy all year round, and my children are all abroad. To be honest, I feel very lonely. If only we could sit together often, drink tea, and discuss flower arrangements.

, it’s also a pleasure.”…

"That's great. I'm really looking forward to being able to meet Teacher Omi from time to time."

Just as he was talking about this, suddenly, President Omi, whom Matsumoto Keiko was not familiar with, interrupted.

"Oh, how can you make such a request? Miss Qingzi is a big star, she must be very busy at work, right? There must be countless movies, advertisements, and commercial performances, right? How can she have so much free time?

Come to accompany you? If you speak so rashly, it will embarrass Miss Qingzi..."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Omi hesitated.

She then looked into Matsumoto Keiko's eyes, and her eyes showed a little worry and a little embarrassment as if questioning.

Upon seeing this, Matsumoto Keiko quickly explained and told her career dilemma very frankly.

"No, no, it's okay, I have time. Frankly speaking, my career has not been going very well in the past year. Due to a supernatural incident in an advertisement shot last year, it caused a bad social impact. So much so that the advertisement was

Blocked, many advertisers have also terminated their contracts. Therefore, except for one or two movies that are still being planned, there is nothing important to be busy with for the time being. At most, there is a pending variety show on NHK TV, which may invite me in the near future.

We still need to talk about the opportunity to serve as a guest and the New Year's Red and White Song Concert. There are no other work arrangements..."

This not only immediately relaxed Mrs. Omi's mind, but also successfully won her sympathy.

It also made her understand the real purpose of Matsumoto Keiko's meeting this time.

"Is that so? We have been staying abroad, but we don't know any news. Keiko-chan, you must have had a hard time this year."

Mrs. Omi couldn't help sighing, but she only thought about it briefly, and then expressed it happily.

"However, it's okay to encounter some setbacks. Keiko-chan, don't be discouraged. Well, you can come to my house to see me the day after tomorrow in the afternoon. It's a coincidence that recently, the dedicated wife of Mitsukoshi Department Store also had "

The wife of the art director of "Decoration Garden" magazine also wants to learn floral art from me. I'll introduce you to them, they should be helpful to your career. Also, when I come back this time, I actually intend to prepare my own flower arrangement.

Classroom. I believe there are some elegant ladies who will sell me some face. Then you can come too, Keiko-chan, at least you can use this to expand some contacts."

Mrs. Omi's sincere care and kindness made Matsumoto Keiko immediately feel the warmth that she had not seen for a long time.

She immediately bowed and thanked him.

"That's great. For me, this is really what I want. Thank you so much, Teacher Omi."

But that's not all. Mrs. Omi is indeed a person worthy of being called "teacher" by Keiko Matsumoto.

She has always been rich and free, as if she has finally discovered the meaning of life. She really cares about this beloved disciple and is very enthusiastic about helping.

Not only did she try her best, she even forced her husband to take a positive stance on the spot.

"By the way, hubby, doesn't Nanyang Chemical Fiber's fabric business cooperate with many clothing companies? You can also help to smoothen the relationship and introduce Qingzi to the presidents, directors, and directors of those clothing companies, so that we can get to know each other.

How many commercials does she accept? I’m not saying that a good actor like Keiko shouldn’t just be buried. If I can’t help her, I won’t feel at ease!”…

Needless to say, since Mrs. Omi said this in front of Matsumoto Keiko.

No matter how good President Omi is, he has no choice but to accept this and betray his wife's face.

"Miss Qingzi, I don't know much about the entertainment industry. Our company's business does not require any advertising. So I am just a layman on these things. I really don't know if it is useful to talk about it myself. However, I also think that Qingzi

Miss Zi is an excellent actress, so I will try my best to help. I will call and ask tomorrow."

I have to say that President Omi is truly a big boss in business, and he seems to be very used to being asked to do business.

He dealt with it in a business-like manner and kept the buttons alive.

But this was enough to deepen Keiko Matsumoto's feelings and make her sincerely grateful to have enthusiastic elders like Mr. and Mrs. Omi around her.

So Keiko Matsumoto thanked her again and believed that she should do her best to repay her sincerely.

"President, you are so polite. No matter what the outcome is, I am overjoyed to receive such caring care from you and Mr. Omi. Okay, isn't Mr. Omi going to open a flower arrangement class? I am also willing to contribute to the funding.

Please do your part. No matter what, Mr. Omi, please don't refuse me. I know you are not short of money, but if you don't do this, I will be extremely sorry and find it difficult to repay your love."

Mrs. Omi couldn't help but show pride and a bright smile like a peacock's tail, and happily declined.

"Ah, Keiko-chan, don't take this kind of thing to heart. It's just a matter of saying a few words. As your teacher, it's natural for you to take care of your students. Such a small thing is really important.

It’s nothing.”

But Keiko Matsumoto is determined. She is an emotional person. The better others treat her, the more she demands that she be worthy of others.

"No, teacher, please stop talking. This has to be done, otherwise I won't be able to see you. Please allow me to do whatever I want for once."

"Oh, you kid, you are really awesome. What can I say..."

Needless to say, the atmosphere of the banquet became more harmonious next.

The grateful Matsumoto Keiko not only toasted and served Omi and his wife frequently, but also specially asked for expensive cigars for President Omi after the meal.

And she also thought that she finally got rid of her bad luck, so she drank a lot of wine.

As a result, just when the meal was about to end with the guests and hosts enjoying themselves, things took a complete turn.

The cause of this incident was that Mrs. Omi got up to go to the bathroom.

Originally, Matsumoto Keiko wanted to accompany Mrs. Omi.

However, just when she was about to get up, she suddenly found that her hand was grabbed by someone under the table.

The most unbelievable thing is that the person holding her hand was actually President Omi sitting diagonally opposite her!

A sudden fright came suddenly from the sky.

Matsumoto Keiko's whole body was almost numb, she was completely dumbfounded on the spot, and her face turned red with embarrassment and anger.

However, under her wide-open eyes, she stared in horror.

The gray-haired President Omi looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and gently let go of his hand. …

He even smiled and nodded to Matsumoto Keiko, indicating that she should sit in peace.

So even Matsumoto Keiko herself had some doubts, whether she had just had a delusion in a drunken atmosphere. How could an elder like President Omi touch her?

In this way, when she was in despair, Mrs. Omi left without noticing anything unusual.

However, as soon as Mrs. Omi left, the sanctimonious President Omi couldn't help but reveal another face.

The almost shameless words that followed completely shattered Matsumoto Keiko's original dream, and she realized again the ugliness of the real world.

"Why don't we stay and have a few words alone?"

"You...what do you mean..."

"A smart person like you should understand what I want to say. I want to have a good talk with you about your situation."

"My...my situation?"

"Yes, just one advertising mistake caused a devastating blow to Miss Keiko's career. She obviously has such a high reputation and is loved by the people, but in the end it is all useless. Don't Miss Matsumoto understand?

?The career of a celebrity is so fragile. Maybe it will be wiped out by an accident..."
