A Romance of the Little Forest Episode 1 Recap
> A Romance of the Little Forest Recap
In a commercial van driving on the road, a beautiful woman is gently eating breakfast. This is Yu Meiren. Her makeup doesn't come off; as long as her mouth is wide enough, the lipstick won't smudge. The assistant next to her recommends today's new product. The beautiful blogger talks while trying the color, finding that the lipstick has extremely poor color payoff and is very difficult to remove. But, since it's not cost-efficient, why not choose a suitable price?
She casually picks up another lipstick, which is only one-eighth the price of Hè Shī and has excellent color payoff. But the assistant thinks Hè Shī is a top-tier big brand that ordinary small brands can't compare with. However, Yu Meiren believes the components of lipstick are wax, oil, emollients, fragrance, and pigments. The only difference is the color. If a brand can't even do this well, there's no need to recommend it.
After saying that, she returns the box to the little assistant and tells her to inform General Manager Jin not to accept the offer. Immediately after, the vehicle reaches its destination, and Yu Meiren gets out of the car. Many photographers immediately come to take her picture. And Yu Meiren, after returning home, also couldn't escape the step of removing makeup. After a while, Jin Xi calls her, complaining that she refused the Hè Shī collaboration.
As a big CEO, he smiled so much to appease the brand side that his face wrinkled. However, this is a matter of principle, and Yu Meiren cannot go against her conscience. Besides, if Hè Shī doesn't work, there's Lami. This sparks some interest in Jin Xi. Hè Shī and Lami are equivalent in status and are competitors. If she accepted Hè Shī, she would cut off the path to Lami.
She is a loyal old user of Lami and even used sweet talk to get him to make this unofficial spokesperson position official. In the evening, Zhuang Yu is searching for rare plants in the forest with a flashlight. When he gets tired, he camps in the wilderness, personally grinding and brewing coffee. In Zhuang Yu's research lab, his colleagues are still worried about his life's big events.
Every time he goes out like this, it's for ten days or half a month, making it difficult for him to even find a girlfriend. As soon as Zhuang Yu returns, his younger colleagues go to greet him and ask him about Artemisia annua. Zhuang Yu has already placed the sterile live samples along with rhizosphere soil samples in the greenhouse. Zhuang Yu is a man with lofty ambitions, moving forward with the goal of making China lead the world.
On this day, Zhuang Yu only realized how many more students there were when he was teaching. He randomly picked out a question to ask, but they couldn't answer it. Yu Meiren is shooting a promotional video and is praised by General Manager Yuan. She got up early to shoot and did her own makeup, saving even the makeup artist's fee. Yu Meiren feels her natural base is poor.
Fortunately, cosmetics like Sha Ye allow every ordinary person to gain the ability to become beautiful later in life. Yu Meiren's shooting is being discussed. Originally, she thought choosing this location for shooting was focused on pastoral organic themes, but it turned out to be a strategic scheme, which made the other party quite embarrassed. However, she immediately said she liked it, that this design is simple and impactful, and very suitable for her, which eased the awkwardness.
The staff member introduced Lukas's attire to Yu Meiren and told her that he is a newcomer who needs more looking after. Yu Meiren readily agreed. After the team arrived at the location, they saw Zhuang Yu. Everyone thought he was Lukas, and then Yu Meiren prepared to shoot. However, upon getting closer, she realized it was Zhuang Yu. She had to brace herself and go on, but later, she accidentally spilled all the plants Zhuang Yu had cultivated.
No matter how she apologized, Zhuang Yu remained cold and even mocked her for being brainless. On the way back, Yu Meiren was depressed. Jin Xi specially came to pick her up. Of course, his purpose was not simple; he wanted Yu Meiren to cooperate with him in a play-acting scenario. Who would have thought Yu Meiren didn't pretend to be his wife but ended up pretending to be his mother? Although it was a bit outlandish, the other party still believed it. In the car, Yu Meiren kept thinking about what Zhuang Yu had said.
