Episode 8
What are you doing?
This is a notice board.
It's because we all have been busy lately.
Thus we cannot get everyone together.
So,
if there is any messages you want to pass,
to let the others in the rookies' nest know
Like, for example, if I get promoted to permanent worker
I can use this to notify everyone.
Right, this is great.
Next time, when I go to work
and can't cook for you guys,
I can leave a note here for everyone.
So how? Is it straight?
Wait a minute.
I think it's better if you put it this side a bit.
I feel that it's missing something.
Wait for me.
What are you doing?
I look a lot like this drawing!
I think that my face should be slimmer.
I want to add a flower here.
And also, on this dress,
help me to draw in a flower, okay?No.
Am I that ugly?
Sometimes.
This is me? The drawing's not bad.
Wen Xue cannot be prettier than me.
Help me to amend it now.
Wen Xue is, of course, prettier than you.
What are you using the drawings for?
This way, we will know who left the mesage.
You are so smart.
I still think that something is missing.
There is one.
It's short of Fei Fun.
Ling Jie, draw Fei Fun next to me, okay?
Just next to my face.
Here, here.
Ling Jie has finished drawing. Let's pin it on the notice board.
Sasha, that...
I have something for you.
Wait here for me.
What is this?
This is a Prosperity Tree.
They said that one who has a Prosperity Tree will prosper.
I'm giving this Prosperity Tree to you
so that you can prosper.
After that, you buy lots of pretty dresses
and make yourself beautiful.
Hua Tsai.
You are really great.
With a few Prosperity Trees,
I can add them to my Prosperity Egg.
I will become a rich wife soon.
Yes.
Hua Tsai.
I chose this picture especially for you.
And developed per my requirement.
This is complimentary for you.
Thanks.
If there's nothing else, I will leave first.
Hong Guo.
What you said yesterday was not bad.
Really?
It was the Asst. Publisher who taught me.
Unexpected, the assistant publisher ussually serious
but is excellent in bootlicking as well.
Right, those words yesterday,
Cruelly cut Ji Jie down to size.
If she doesn't co-operate again,
then it is she who has no taste.
Was I that awful?
You were,
but the consequence is not bad.
Your hand gestures were too stiff,
just like a robot.
I know.
Those gestures,
are they the Asst. Publisher's usual gestures?
Right.
He has already taught me a few times.
Miss Li, do you agree?
In the end, every time I will...
Miss Li, do you agree?
I am already so busy,
and you are still chatting?
Hong Guo, come here.
Go to this address
and get the item for tomorrow's shoot.
Okay. Hurry up.
Hello, Sister Aida? I am Hong Guo.
I got the jewellery.
I'm going back to the office now.
Why are you bringing it back to the office?
You are going to be knocking off work soon.
No.
They said that this jewellery is super expensive.
So, I want to go back and keep it in the company's safe.
Wait for me, I will be there soon.
The company doesn't have a safe.
Bring it back home and then bring it to the office tomorrow.
Bring it home?
They said that it cost about RMB$300,000.
You are allowing me to bring such expensive items home?
It's only RMB$300,000.
All of us editors have gone thru this before.
Just take good care of it.
Aren't you hungry?
I heard that the xiao long bao at the nearby shopis very delicious.
I will buy some for you.
Don't go.
If we are short one person when Miao Miao appears, br>we will be in trouble.
People is iron. Rice is steel
If you don't eat,
where would you have the energy to stop Miao Miao?
Here.
What's this?
Eat this. At the very least, you'll have some energy.
Water.
Huh?
Hong Guo, time to eat.
I will be right there.
This won't do.
Need to find a place to hide it.
I must protect you well.
Hong Guo, are you okay?
It's so hot, why are you dressed so strangely?
I have a cold.
Then, before you eat,
I have an announcement.
Tomorrow,
I'm starting work.
Then, we won't have any dinner again.
It's ok. This job is more flexible.
It's not a 9 am to 5 pm job.
So, I can still come home and cook you dinner.
What kind of work is that?
Selling houses.
Are you suitable to sell houses?
I don't know either but I would like to try.
Fatty, the house price is swelling up fierefully, isnt it?
Yes, just like our Rookie's Nest.
It s value has risen to twice of what I bought it for.
Then you have to be a millioner, right then ?
No.
Fei Fan, you rather have ability to estimate property
Do you think is this the right time to invest in property
The house price has been slowly rising more than 2 years
I personally feel that
the best time for investment opportuniity has passed.
If I know that before, I should have bought it earlier
Actually, in long term prediction
After the economic crisis passed
The house market will become a new prosperous investment
And the house price will be rising up rapidly again
Actually, in this short moment
The house price has started to rise
Fei Fun, you've never been interested in business,
how did you know about this?
You know that my goal
is to be a non-profit lawyer.
I want to devote to my profession
So, I have to learn how to make money for myself first
so I pay attention to investment and property market.
Fatty.
Where is that house?
Can I go and take a look?
Okay, I will take you there.
Eat this.
Hua Tsai.
Is there still any leftover food?
No. Everyone was very happy
and finished all the food today.
I ate only a large biscuit fpr the whole night.
Do you want me to cook something for you?
Please cook something for me, just a dish will do.
Wen Xue.
Don't worry.
If you couldn't shoot her today, you can still shoot her tomorrow.
Because this kind of news
that you get wrinkles, then that's not good.
Do I really have wrinkles?
Regenerate eye's skin
What are you doing?
Nothing.
So strange.
It's so hot.
Did I get an allergy ?
I like it too.
Right.
Xiao Jie.
Who is that woman?
She's my mom.
Why is your mom's voice so young?
I don't believe it. Tell her to call again.
Mom.
Good boy.
Is that really your mom?
She's really my mom.
Is that so?
The bath is already ready,
why aren't you coming?
What! Your liar!
You are actually going to take a bath with your mom!
She hung up.
Aren't you of tired dating one girl after another?
What business is that of yours?
Okay.
Love expert.
Frankly,
lately, I have some problems regarding about love
and would like to seek your advice.
I thought that you and love
don't have any issue at all.
I'm not asking then.
Okay, speak then. I promise not to laugh.
You promise?
I swear.
It's like this.
I feel that Xie Fei Fun
seems to like me.
You said that you wouldn't laugh!
Are you without a brain?
Why would Prince Xie
like a village girl like you?
No.
Let me tell you.
Look, if he doesn't like me,
why did he recommend me to join Xiang Xie?
Also, he helped promote me to permanent employee.
he even let me take a look at Ann's test sample.
He even bought a very expensive lunch box for me.
And he even help to pay Sasha's expenses.
This is really a big problem.
So,
next time, I'll help you to knock on Fei Fun's head
and check if his is also empty.
Don't go and knock on him.
I am just only being suspicious.
Just being suspicious.
Could you stop dreaming ?
Would Prince Xie
like a student like you?
What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?
Aren't I smart?
I wore the jewellery.
This way, it wouldn't go missing.
Not only are you smart,
you are a genius.
THere is a dream in my heart
Swelling slowly
The deep blue sea
rolls youthfully.
The youths love passionately.
Leaving the hometown bravely
The city is a different house

Friends.
Can you lower your volume?
Focus on the singing on stage.
What business is that of yours?
We like to talk loudly.
Are we bothering you?
This way then.
I will compete with you both on drinks.
If you drink slower than I,
then, you better shut up and listen to the songs.
You want to bet with us in drinking?
What if you lose?
I will pick up the tab for your drinks.
<br<Okay then.
1, 2, 3.
It's a done deal.
Don't want to?
Is your leg okay?
It's fine.
Just now...
thank you.
So, you even know how to say thank you?
I thought you don't understand earthly rules.
Are you going to hear us sing again?
Of course.
But , it there any special meaning?
Okay.
Come.
Let's sing another song.
This is our last performance here on stage for today.
This is also our last song.
I would like to dedicate this song
to my friend.
Thank you for listening to my songs.
No one cares how I feel.
No one wants to hear.
Do you understand?
I was listening.
It's you.
Mom.
now that I look at you, you seem to be 20 years younger.
This child really has a way with words.
How many years have we not gone abroad already?
It has been 20 years.
If your son growing up
I will take you on a vacation every year.
Femina became outstanding by his works right
Any improvements must be seen through its sales.
We are going overseas already and you are still saying this?
I00 million in volume. Remember that.
Dad, don't worry.
I will certainly increase the sales.
There is a delivery for you.
Coming.
Please sign here.
Okay.
Coming.
Take this.
What is this?
Open it quick. What is this?
is this for real? Did she really send this?
It's real.
Here.
Where?
Right, here.
Can you see it?
Her name is really here.
Xia Hong Guo.
Is this her?
Awesome.
It's really your daughter,
Xia Hong Guo.
It's really her.
I have never seen this since she was young.
Look.
Okay, I'm here.
I will explain all these to you afterwards.
Let's have a simple meeting first.
My coming to Femina,
is coming to a month soon.
As what I know, before I came
Femina's average weekly sales
Is 400.000 copies
But since I came here,
The sales decreased to 300.000 copies
But, this week
The week that Ji Jie be our cover
Our sales reached 800.000 copies
Of course,
This wont be able without everyone' effort
Wang Xi
Ma Qu (Marx)
Hong Guo
Ao Ge
Bai Yu
Ao Ge
I really want to thank you all.
Its because your hardworking effort
That let me, the rookie of Moder trend world,
found back the confidence
Thank you.
You all should know
I have the target sales of 100.000.000 when I came to Femina
So, I have an idea
Give that to me.
Look.
There are different coloured sands here.
I want to
Pour it to this marked glass cylinder
Use it to show our Femina's sales
Every month, I'll select the best worker
We will ask him or her to conduct this ceremony.
We will now select the
Best worker in this month
Does anyone has any opinion?
I think Aida
I. I recommend Manager Bai
Coz the most important special topic in the magazine
Is handled by Manager Bai Yu
Also the funding of Femina is very success
So that our sales could achieved this result
Bai's contribution is remarkable
No.
I think assistant publisher is more suitable
Forget about me.
As the newcomer of Modern Trend
You've showed off your boldness
Managed Andi's make up plan
Ann's project succeded
And also this time, the photoshoot of Ji Jie for the cover magazine
We could see who's contribution
Right?
I agree.
Honestly-speaking, the hard work isn't mine
It should Hong Guo.
So, I suggest, this month's best worker
is Xia Hong Guo.
Me?
It can't be me.
I agree.
Everyone can see Hong Guo's effort
Right, I also agree.
We feel that Hong Guo's performance is not bad.
Okay.
Xia Hong Guo, You got the majority of votes
And selected as the best worker this month
I'm handing this over to you.
Stop.
That much?
Is it that much?
Okay, I know. I will be right there.
Ling Jie.
Ling Jie, let's go.
We are leaving?
What about there?
Go to the Xiang Xie's television studio
Fei Fun called to say
Miao Miao is right there taking a photo for magazine
Is that for real?
We've watched attentively, yet she got a way to escape
Call for Shen Qiang, tell her to go with us
Okay.
There are so many people here.
Looks like,what that Fei Fan gave to you isnt an exclusive one
Ling Jie.
Wen Xue.
Miss Miao. You have taken a break for the last 2 years.
What have you been doing?
You know that I have a lot of activities
So, I really really felt very tired
All along, I've never thought about my issue.
The reason that I gave up my works back then,
Is because I were continuing my study overseas these 2 past years
but there is news that
The underlying reason you disappeared from media these 2 past years
was because you were pregnant?
The baby's father is whom already married rich merchant, isnt it?
There was no such thing, these were all rumours.
But, heard that this rich merchant unwilling to admit it
that he's the father of the child.
And, recently your economic condition isnt very good
So thats why you decided to come back again
Please comment.
Impossible, there is no such thing.
Dear reporters,
please don't believe in those rumours.
Those rumours are totally unfounded.
Thanks.
That merchant's surname is Liu, right ?
Did you leave the child in Italy?
He is now without a father.
You also wouldn't acknowledge him as your child.
Then, about this kid's future,
Do you have any plan ?
I've tracked the person that lived together with you at the hotel
There is also a child there.
His name is Miao Tian, right?
He is that illegitimate child right?
Also, his surname is Miao like yours
Is it because he doesn't have a father?
Lin JIe
You are a child without a father.
You don't have a father.
It's already pitiful for him to be without a father,
You should sympathise with him.
Don't bully him.
Mom, other people say that I don't have a father.
Ling Jie.
>You must learn to be strong.
Even though you don't have a father,
but you have a mother.
I want a father.
Please clarify.
Please clarify again.
Please comment.
Please clarify.
Please comment.
Please give us an answer, Miss Miao.
How could they ask this question? It's too much.
Hong Guo, come here.
You are not even their assistant. Stay here and wait.
Get some coffee for me. Go now.
Please clarify.
Sorry.
Miss Miao, please clarify.
Miss Miao, please comment.
Miss Miao, please clarify.
What's going on?
Why is there a power outage?
Wen Xue.
Don't go.
Why?
What are you doing?
The feeling of kissing with beautiful lady is good,
Have you felt better ?
It's okay. It's already over.
It's okay.
I guessed that something like this would happen.
All those disgusting reporters.
But
don't know who was the kind soul
who cut off the power.
Change your clothes and let's go.
Okay.
Wipe your tears.
Why did you come back so early?
Don't talk about it.
In the middle of the interview, suddenly the power cut off
Talking about it, it's really strange.
Just when those reporters were chasing her
for answers, the power went off.
Have got some non-public information?
Of course not.
Still okay, our photo shoot has been taken
Everything has been completed.
We've passed this hurdle.
Hello.
Right, it's me.
What?
The cloth that used on Ji Jie photoshoot last time has a problem?
Sorry.
We will settle this soon. Sorry.
Where are you?
Come back here quickly
This is the first time I see you smoking.
I started smoking when I was 20 years old.
When I used to smoke,
The girls said that I was very cool, very manly
Time have changed,
women don't like men who smoke,
so, I stopped.
Why did you kiss Wen Xue?
What was it for?
Is it that strange for me to kiss a girl?
It's not strange.
But, being slapped after kissing a girls, thats strange
Because i know
You never force a woman
You only kiss if the girl is willing to
I was just over-confident, do you pleased with that
Hello.
Have you got them interviewed
No.
Why?
Boss, I don't to work with Ling Jie anymore.
If you don't agree,
I will resign.
No one is here.
Let's go.
What now?
I know.
You must have a reason for doing that.
Why can't you tell your buddy?
I just showing affection to a person who uninterest to me. Nothing to be fussing around
I'm not talking about this.
Why did you pull off the switch?
You saw that?
Our purpose to come here, originally is to interview Miao Miao
But when everyone was chasing her for an answer,
You used that method to help her escaped
There must be a very important reason for doing that.
I just couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
Wrong.
Gathering the top news
You used to have a profesionalism
Eventhough the party is a beautiful lady, you never let your hands off
It was hard to come by this opportunity today.
Why did you sabotage it?
Miao Miao.
Which media are you from?
Xiang Yang television
Ling Jie.
I will do an exclusive interview with you.
Wait a minute.
Pen.
This is my team mate.
Call her.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
- Han Dan! - Coming.
Come here.
What present should I give?
Wen Xue, what would she like?
Aida Sis
Why are you looking for me?
Can you see what this is?
It looks familiar.
This is looks like the cloth that I borrowed for Ji JIe last time
It's that dress.
Furthermore,
there is an extra hole.
Why is it like this?
It is like this.
Be prepared to pay for it.
Sir, what flowers are you looking for?
Isnt there any special meaning of flowers
Of course, there is.
Each flower represents a meaning.
This is known as flower talk.
Look at this,
this represents love.
This represents blessing.
This is to wish you happiness.
This is horse tail flower, it represents love in disguise
Sir.
Look at the colour of these flowers.
Is this matching?
Okay.
Do you have a card?
Yes.
You can write what you want to say on it.
What's wrong again?
If Pretty girl want to split the team, then split the team
I dont even want to hold her retreat
I don't agree.
Why?
If not,
I will resign then.
Wait a minute.
She doesn't have to go, I will go.
I will resign.
Okay.
Stop
both of you can't resign.
Move, I'm coming out.
Thank you, bye.
Okay.
This should be okay.
It definitely is not.
The mark is too obvious
Then I.. I'll sew it again
I think it can't be saved.
You better prepare to pay for it.
Actually, all of us went through this before.
Damaging the cloths, or missing them
It always happen. right?
That's right. Don't worry.
The label company often giving a discount for production cost
After giving a discount,
Should be divided by half and half between you and the company
But I heard that many companies don't take responsibility
And let the fashion editor to pay it fully
Then our Xiang Xie is quite generous
But it should be still expensive, right?
If I remember correctly,
This cloth must be limited edition
Hong Guo.
Your judgement is really good.
Really?
Thanks for your praising
You are still happy?
You know that this means there is a scary "0" behind
One...
tens
hundred...
thousand...?
Ten thousands
Just sell me.
Tens of thousands.
Hello, sir.
Who are you looking for?
These are for Miss Wen Xue.
She is not in.
Could you please sign for it?
Bye.
These flowers are for you.
I don't want them.
Don't misunderstand.
I only sign for them on your behalf.
Don't think that just by looking at the flowers,
I will treat it as nothing has happened.
Please give me an explanation, okay?
Are you referring to the flowers?
I don't ever explain.
These subtitles are brought to you by The Modern People Team@Viki
Someone is singing.
His singing is not bad.
Give him some money.
Your money were all spent on flirting with girls.
You still have money?
You know me so well, my little precious.
Why aren't you singing? Sing.
He...?
seems to be upset with us.
It's because you
You are too ugly for public viewing.
