Chapter 48 Julian handed their three compiled resumes to Simon . Bernard took a sip of tea and smiled . " They just started a studio and landed the landscape design project for Crest- mark's The Mountainous Resort . Now they're preparing to launch a company . " Jasmine nodded . " Yes , we're getting ready to hire . " Simon was secretly surprised to hear from Bernard that Aveline's team had already landed the project for Crestmark's The Mountainous Resort . He had heard that the architect for that Crestmark project had received high praise from Sebastian , and that a host of other excellent bidders had been eliminated . Sebastian was an architect from a prestigious overseas university . Not only were his professional skills top - notch , but he also had a unique eye . Simon had never heard of a domestic architect earning his praise , so when he heard Sebas- tian had commended a young architect , he'd been wanting to meet them . He never expected it to be Aveline . Simon opened the resumes . Jasmine's and Julian's were excellent , but when he saw Aveline's , it was even more out- standing , and he was shocked . Simon was in the engineering field , after all , so he naturally followed news in the architectural design industry . He knew there was a brilliant rising star in the country who was already gaining some international fame . The reason he didn't know that rising star was Aveline was because she signed her designs simply as Aveline , not Aveline . Seeing the shock on Simon's face , Bernard smiled slightly and picked up his teacup for a sip . Jasmine and Julian naturally saw it too . They exchanged a look , both wondering if it meant their resumes had won Si- mon over , especially Aveline's . Only Aveline thought that since Simon knew Bernard had recommended her , he would be even less likely to hire her easily . He would definitely need Xavier to make the final decision . After Simon finished reading the resumes , he handed them to the person with him , then gave Aveline a long look . " I didn't expect Ms. Sutton to be this impressive . " Aveline smiled . " You're too kind , Mr. Barron . " Bernard put down his teacup and asked , " What about Mr. Beltran ? Is he coming ? " Simon replied to him , " Oh , Mr. Beltran has something this afternoon , so he probably won't be able to make it . But I'll report everything from our meeting to him . " 0.0 % 19:02 Chapter 48 When Aveline heard that , she guessed Xavier must have gone to Valentina's parent - teacher conference . Hearing what Simon said , Bernard Clarke frowned slightly . " You can't make the decision ? " Simon felt a bit awkward . After all , he had indeed said before that the would definitely agree to anyone Bernard rec- ommended . But since it was Aveline , he really didn't dare to make the call . He had to report to Mr. Beltran and let him decide . He felt something was off . Why didn't Mr. Beltran know Aveline was going to take on this project ? Did Aveline not tell Mr. Beltran because she knew he wouldn't agree ? Simon said , " I didn't realize Aveline was Ms. Sutton . I've seen Aveline's work , and it's very creative . I do hope Ms. Sutton can take on this project , but the situation has changed . I need to report to Mr. Beltran , but I will definitely rec- ommend Ms. Sutton strongly . " Putting personal factors aside , he personally felt that hiring Aveline would definitely be most beneficial for the Mount Ardwood Amusement Park project . Jasmine probed , " Does Mr. Beltran already have someone in mind ? " Simon froze for a moment . Yesterday , Mr. Beltran had indeed given him an architect's resume and told him to look into the architect's work in detail . 23 Seeing his reaction , Jasmine knew her guess was right . " It seems he really does have someone in mind . " Aveline lowered her gaze , picked up her teacup , and took a sin Julian couldn't help but frown . Seeing Bernard Clarke staring straight at him , Simon quickly said , " Someone recommended a person to Mr. Beltran , and Mr. Beltran did show me the resume , but he didn't say we had to hire him . " Bernard laughed . " Then between that person is more capable ? " 1 Aveline , who do you Simon was an upright person and wouldn't say something he didn't mean . He glanced at Aveline and said in a firm tone , " Of course , it's Ms. Sutton . " " So , I will definitely recommend Ms. Sutton strongly to Mr. Beltran . I'm the project director , so Mr. Beltran will still listen to my opinion . " Although Xavier was the big boss of the company , he didn't have a background in architecture , so naturally , he had to listen to the advice of professionals . 51.6 %
