Chapter 138: Kimono and Miniskirt

  It seems there aren't as many people who don't open their eyes as I imagined, and the journey on the beach is quite comfortable.

  Catherine stayed here until evening.

  After enjoying the sunset, it's Hawaii's night.

  Hawaii in the evening is still lively.

  Walking into a restaurant on the beach, it's full of lively crowds, people dressed in colorful clothes, chatting and laughing.

  "What a pity, can only stay here for a few days."

  After all, I still want to go to Taiwan and take a look. In the future, it is very likely that the place will become the location of my own production factory. Especially many components of Apple computers may be transferred there for production, further expanding profit margins.

  "Ailsa, you said we're going to Japan, what are we going to do? Mount Fuji? Hokkaido?"

  Elsa thought for a moment.

  "Japan... Sushi? Kimono? Hmm..."

  "Never mind, I'll know when I get to Japan. Anyway, Hokkaido's hot springs and Mt. Fuji are places that can't be missed!"

  Especially hot springs, this is essential.

  But now Catherine also wants to enjoy the beach style, which is a must.

  By the time Bruce got back, it was already noon on the second day, and in the morning, Catherine had signed a contract with Jerry.

  "Ah... as expected, the beach is still the best."

  Catherine had just changed into her swimsuit and arrived at this private beach.

  Next to her was her father Bruce, wearing a pair of black sunglasses and flipping through a magazine.

  "It's a completely different feeling from Long Island, I have to say, Hawaii is indeed Hawaii." Bruce also looked relaxed: "Unfortunately, your mom is watching a performance in Seattle right now."

  Catherine shrugged, Emma's love for ballet exceeded the beach. Because in between, she had already promised her friends that she couldn't come, what a pity.

  "If there's an opportunity, I really hope we can come over as a family."

  Although Bruce's responsibilities were not as busy as Catherine's, the pressure he bore was much greater than Catherine's.

  Bruce took on a lot of things by himself, for example, he would never tell Catherine that last night he had to rush to the US military base because of PMC's problems.

  Catherine took off her outer garment and lay down on the beach as well.

  "Dad, how about this: when we come back, let's get mom to come over too and then we can all have a good time in Hawaii together?"

  "It sounds pretty good." Bruce apparently agreed too.

  Although there were still a few days left, what Catherine valued most in Hawaii was the beach. In fact, apart from leaving shadows elsewhere, Catherine had no impression at all, especially every afternoon when she stayed on the beach.

  Perhaps due to physical reasons, although the sun was scorching hot, Catherine's skin did not change much, but Elsa could clearly see that she had been sunbathing for a long time.

  Then, the journey to Japan began.

  Because Bruce had already arranged the itinerary in advance, after arriving at the airport, Catherine went straight to the hotel and put down her luggage.

  Of course, translators are indispensable for travel.

  Although many Japanese people can speak English, however...the English spoken by Japanese people...is probably only understood by themselves.

  Catherine went to a traditional Japanese hotel, the kind where you sleep on tatami mats. Since she came, let's not mention whether it's good or bad for now, and try something new and special, maybe it'll be great.

  Then Catherine quickly stripped herself naked and put on a set of clothes she had brought with her.

  This is a set of off-the-shoulder black mourning clothes, very loose and suitable for wearing in summer. Of course, such clothes cannot be seen in Japan now, where the ruins have just been rebuilt into cities. In fact, this outfit was made by Lisa under Catherine's inspiration before.

  Such a kimono, with its short hem similar to an ultra-mini skirt, gives people a very trendy feeling.

  However, the lower body is a tight design, which is different from the top. Although it restricts the pace, it will never be transparent.

  After putting on her dress and shoes, Catherine also put on black suspenders, and she was done.

  "Not bad at all."

  Catherine took a look around in front of the mirror.

  Unfortunately, although it's no problem going out in the US like this, this is still a Japan that hasn't completely opened up.

  Finally, Catherine could only pout, then took off her clothes and put on jeans and a T-shirt.

  Catherine wanted to wear a kimono out, but a real kimono would probably have to be custom-made in Japan.

  "Right, when we go to Taiwan, we can customize it too!" Catherine thought of her time in Taiwan again.

  "Elsa, do you know where there is a place that can tailor and make clothes? About how much time will it take?"

  Elsa picked up the travel guide she had bought before coming.

  "Hmm, let me see. It's really strange, why Japanese people call kimono as Wu Fu?"

  "This is because kimono originally came from China and was improved upon. " Catherine smiled, flaunting her knowledge.

  Originally, Catherine wanted to have a bespoke kimono made, but such a kimono would require several top craftsmen to spend around 6-10 months to complete, and the cost would be as high as tens of millions of yen!

  Money is no problem, but she can't wait that long, Catherine just hopes she can get the clothes before leaving Japan.

  Back in the hotel room, Bruce was looking at a newspaper with a weird expression while the translator beside him explained the content of the newspaper.

  "What's wrong?"

  Catherine suddenly found that in the newspaper, it was actually a super short skirt!

  "Cough...cough......this..."

  Bruce wiped the sweat from his forehead, while the translator beside him explained the situation to Catherine.

  It was originally introduced in Japan at the beginning of this year, a super mini skirt.

  However, the Japanese media was unanimous in its opposition. But they didn't think it was "harmful to customs", a reason that left Catherine somewhat bewildered - their reason for opposing it was that miniskirts were not suitable for the physique of Japanese women.

  "The Japanese way of thinking is really delightful..."

  After holding it in for half a day, Catherine could only say this one sentence.

  But then again... A figure that doesn't suit Japanese women?

  Catherine suddenly thought of her own Lisa-style kimono again.

  Maybe... making a super short skirt version of kimono could quickly open up the market?

  Of course, this is just Catherine's idea. If it really comes out, it will also be a dowry for local Japanese companies.

  In this closed market, it is extremely difficult for Western companies to enter.

  ……

  What a joke! Medical insurance doesn't even cover cancer medication...
