Episode 9
Did you write that song?
Yes.
You are really talented.
But you were only singing
Why did you really care about how's the audience respond?
If I don't feel good about it, I won't sing.
Everyone has their own personalities.
You... You...
You talk first.
Lately, I seem to keep bumping into you.
How many times has it been?
5 times.
Really?
In such a short month,
in such a big city, we bumped into each other 5 times?
Don't you feel that it's fate?
What?
Right.
Previously on stage, you said that
it will be your last performance.
Why aren't you singing anymore? The money's too little?
The group is disbanding.
Why?
They are going to sign a contract with a recording company.
Isn't that a good thing?
You don't want to sign?
I don't.
Isnt that a good thing for your development?
What the recording company wants to do is
not the kind of music I want.
And my music...
the recording company won't do it.
Your personality is so strong, I'm afraid you would starve to death.
But it's great to be able to do what we want.
I support you.
I have something on.
I will leave first. Bye.
Xiao Hua.
The clothing is really expensive.
What if i cant pay it
Do you want to go to work?
Xiao Hua.
You are still the one who treats me the best.
It's so expensive.
Da Luo Bo (Big radish)
Are you trying to scare people to death?
WHo's big radish ?
Of course its you. Fickle big radish
And.. What are you daydreaming about?
I was down here for such a long time and you didn't even notice me.
In your face written down "Having a big problem" 4 words
How could I Lin Jie have a worry
You must be joking.
You are behaving strangely.
What's wrong?
Big radish
I usually see you act spoiled
I'm not used to you suddenly being like this.
Frankly, you are troubled, right?
You can always talk to me.
For all you know,
I may be able to help you think of a solution.
Little student.
Don't act like an adult.
But I am an adult.
Such beautiful flowers.
Are these for me?
It is for Wen Xue from a person
Wen Xue dont want it, and want to throw it
Someone even send flowers to her?
Sasha.
What?
If you like flowers,
I can give you a bouquet too.
Im not cherish it
Why are you sleeping so early today?
Is something troubling you?
Is it about love matters?
You fought with your boyfriend!
Ye Sasha.
Why do you only have the word "men" in your brain?
I was just concerned about you.
I don't need your concerns.
I prefer the selfish you.
Deep skin and small minded
Im small minded ?!
Don't forget
who took you in when you came here.
If it weren't for the fact that I shared half of your room and utility bills.
would you still have a place to live?
Don't think I don't know that
you secretly used my skincare products.
I only used it once
or twice.
And there is still no results.
What, no results?
There is no results at all.
I have already used it three times.
Look, there is no results at all.
Did you do it like this?
That's right. This...
I'm telling you, you could have used it wrongly.
Let me tell you. You apply it here.
Then use your ring finger
The finger massage technique is especially important.
You have to lightly massage it in.
Do you know what's the most important step?
Just dab a little.
Just a little.
These subtitles are brought to you by The Modern People Team@Viki
Did she receive my flowers or not?
It's so expensive.
Xiang.
Did you know?
He was singing in the garden.
He has such a good voice.
But don't worry.
The voice that I still like the most is yours.
Okay.
It's getting late.
I'm going to bed.
I will call you again tomorrow.
Goodnight.
Hello, how are you?
What?
Okay, I will be right there.
Didnt you say, you wanted to split the team with me
You changed your mind?
Just now, Miao Miao's manager called me
And appointed us to have an exclusive interview there
Is that so?
She assigned that you have to go
How did you manage that
What's that got to do with me?
Speak frankly.
Maybe its because Miao Miao's manager secretly in love with me
No wonder when she called,
Her voice is so intimate
You cant be really believe that, huh?
Was that really true?
I don't know.
I have dated too many women.
It's hard for me to remember.
This house is quite good
But these have no certificate. Forget it, I wont buy
No, Mr Zhang. Listen to me.
Manager Shi, I was just about to look for you.
You have some matters?
Sit, I will tell you. Okay.
Manager Shi.
All the clients are asking
Why we dont have the certificate
It's because,
Just use the company's standard answers
to answer the clients and there won't be any problems.
I already told them that.
The certificate will be issued immedietly
but the problem is that they don't believe it.
Frankly, talking about this,
I'm not very sure too.
But just rest assured. The company were managing its financce
You have faith in the company, don't you?
Yes, I do.
It's good that you have then.
But the problem is, Manager Shi,
We are selling the houses without the certificate
Isn't that a bad thing?
You don't understand this.
You can sell the house first.
It's ok if payment is less for initial stage.
It's just like helping those
who are not so capable economically.
But you must remember,
once you obtain the five official permits,
the price of the house wil not only be
one or two-fold higher
When that time comes, many people will not be able to afford it.
Understand?
Yes, I understand this.
But. Manager Shi
Okay.
You have all the good qualities in a man
except confidence in yourself.
A man must have confidence.
In order to convince people
you must have confidence in yourself first.
Only this way, will you then succeed in business. Right?
You must think this way.
These houses definetly great
These houses' price definetly will rise up
I can guarantee that if you think this way,
you will be able to sell the houses soon.
I... I have confidence in myself, Manager Shi.
I will go back to work then. Okay.
hua zai
Remember this.
You can do it. You are not an ordinary people
I can do it. Im not an ordinary person
Do your best.
I'm so talented.
halo. Mom
Im very good, dont be worry
Just take care of yourself well
Im really busy recently
You know that I have a fashion show, and I also have to shooting an advertisement
Also recently, there is an open audition for lead female in a movie
I gotta join the audition
Right, that's true.
I know i know
Is it brother who playing the guitar
His playing is getting better
Mom, dont interupt him
Mom mom
Hallo. brother
Sister is really busy recently
So I have no time to visit you, You are not mad with me right
Is the tutor fee is still enough
If its not enough just tell me. I'll transfer it
I also very missing you
Study well, and learn your guitar well,
Expand your carrer here in the future
Then we could be together everyday
Alright, alright.
Then, I'll stop here
I'll call you tomorrow
bye bye
If you need anything
Just give me a call. Okay
Including the house matter
I can give you all the information.
Take this material with you
ok. bye bye
hua zai. Sha Sha
Do you came to see me?
Of course not
I came to discuss with you
Regarding the house matter
I'll pour some tea for you
You are not welcoming me
No
The problem is, Sha Sha where'd you get the money to buy house
i dont have
So, Im going to find
Some of my modelling friend in the past to join with me
how about that, not bad idea?
Buying house is profitable right now
The interests is higher than Bank
And we dont have to worry, unlike stock
That can be fall down at any time
Is this built by your company?
How beautiful.
How much does psf cost?
No, these are not sold in that way, Sha Sha.
This house isnt sold
The one that is being sold is there. Let me show you.
Sure.
Come. Take a look at its details.
This block has more of A-type units.
Yes. And this block has more of B-type units.
There are more here.
It looks good. These apartments look good.
The design makes sense, doesn't it?
What are you looking
No. Nothing.
Weren't we talking about these?
This one has a swimming pool
No. No. That's a fountain.
We will build an open-air swimming pool here.
Right here. - Open-air?
Yes, that's right.
Moreover, I feel that
the investment value of this property...
is higher than that property, if you want to invest.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
I saw what happened the other day.
What?
He didn't do it on purpose.
Don't tell me you are going to say that
he accidentally tripped, and thus he kissed me.
Of course that's not what I mean.
But don't you think it's strange?
Just when Miao Miao was asked about being unmarried and having a child,
his reaction was so great
that he went and unplug the power.
What's the reason?
He doesn' t have a father.
His mother is also an unwed mom.
So that's what it is.
He has never talked about his father.
Until one time when he was drunk,
I heard him say it out.
So when you see him ordinarily
seeming to have not a care in the world,
actually he's protecting himself from getting hurt.
Then, his change of girlfriends,
that's also because he's afraid of being abandoned?
You are starting to understand him.
Actually I said all these,
it's not for his sake,
but for your sake.
I think you would want to understand him better.
I don't in the least bit wish to understand that ruffian .
Then you decide how to go about it.
eat eat
Wen Shen, eat a little bit more
Wen Shen, you are really having hard times these days
Not only have to manage the company, you also have to take care the prince
What are you saying, that is what I should do
This Fei Fan, is a lawyer afterall
It cant be, he really got to lead the company
Xie Lei Zhen is obviously take Xiang Xie as a household company
He forgets us as shareholders existance
thats right
We have allowed him too much leeway.
Allow me to remind everyone
Xie Director afterall is the biggest shareholder
His influence indeed is bigger than us
Then should we just ignore an amateur
To lead such a big modern publisher company?
I think Wen Shen is more suitable to be the successor than Xie Fei Fan
But recently, I heard that Grand Times
tried to headhunt you. Is that true?
Wen Sen, you mustn't leave.
If anyone is to leave, it isn't you.
I won't.
Xiang Xie is my home
Remember when I first moving from the warehouse to a magazine company
I started from the bottom
I could say that it was my first job
I also hope that
That will be the only one job I have
I think we should give XIe Fei Fan a chance
If he really could lead Femina to reach
100 million of target sales
I will conceded my defeat
If he has no this ability
Frankly,
I believe all the shareholders in the company
Maybe will be hard to accept him
We have the same perception in this matter
No problem. just rest assured
When it is neccesarry, if you say a word
We will totally support you
support you
here
Im thank you to everyone
I would never have said such things half a year ago.
But in this situtaion, I have to say it now,
I will not let an amateur
To destroy all the efforts of everyone
yes
It's like this. I've talked to the brand manager.
They have already given us the best discount.
50%
This portion is what Hong Guo is responsible for.
It's too expensive. She hasn't been working for long
To her, this is an astronomical number.
I understand.
But it's company policy.
The same goes for every editor and assistant editor.
Xia Hong Guo is really unlucky.
She had to pick such a high-priced item.
Looks like we have to let her pay in installments
and she should clear it in a few years.
Give me a pen.
Just tell her to pay that amount.
The rest of it,
I will pay for it privately.
Oh yes.
Don't tell her the real price of the item.
Sure.
Hong Guo.
Come here for a minute.
This it the portion that you are responsible for.
The company will take a cut each month directly from your pay.
The company will bear the other half of the cost.
Chief Editor.
It was my mistake.
I think I should bear the entire cost.
I shouldn't let the company pay for it.
The total cost is too much for you.
But I have made an error just as I got promoted.
I am at fault. I must self-examine.
It is not the responsibility of the company.
The company is not responsible for the clothes.
But we are responsible for you.
Because you are one of Femina's employees.
Don't think too much. Go back to work.
Yes.
Why is the price so low?
Is that low? Based on her salary,
she would have to survive on instant noodles for two months.
Two months of instant noodles?
Can you take it?
It's alright.
At least now,
I own a piece of limited edition clothing.
Very good. It really is a huge exclusive.
Wen Xue,
you have even outdone your own excellence.
I'm expecting the best out of you yet.
Chief Editor,
actually it's Ling Jie who got this exclusive.
Is it?
I have good networking. Someone helped me.
Looks like cooperation between you is getting better.
Continue to do your best.
I think you can't get rid of me.
Let's celebrate tonight, have dinner with me.
Give me that rejection booklet of yours.
What? What?
Rejection booklet.
Help me to throw it away.
Drawing is not bad.
It's a smiley face?
Let us celebrate!
Don't you have to pay back a lot? What's there to celebrate?
Two years.
I signed a 2 year contract with Xiang Xie.
You are saying that
within these 2 years, you are Xiang Xie's permanent employee?
That's right. That's right.
An incident exchanged with such a good job.
Too much to gain, isn't it?
Then we really should celebrate.
Yes, yes.
Cheers!
What is it?
Both Shen Qiang and I bought this unit.
It's also considered helping your job.
We have already signed it.
I thought you and Shen Qiang don't have money?
I borrowed from my mom.
Shen Qiang borrowed from her friend.
Each of us half, it's just nice for the down payment.
Thanks you guys, supporting me so.
We are buddies after all.
Actually, to tell the truth,
the customers that I most not want is you guys.
Why?
I don't want you guys to move out.
We have been living together for such a long time.
If you all...
Don't worry, we are used to living here,
we won't be moving out.
It's agreed then.
Of course.
Do your best.
I don't like to eat this. For you.
Hong Guo.
There is a take-out order for you.
Hello, Miss. This is your take-out order.
I didn't order take-out.
I don't know then.
They told me to send it here.
Are you Xia Hong Guo?
This is yours then.
But, I dont have money to pay for that food
This has already been paid.
Paid? Who paid for it?
I'm not very sure about this.
For you.
Thanks.
Bye.
Xia Hong Guo, your take-out order's here.
Another one?
Wow, so many food.
Do you want to eat together?
No, I just ate.
We have already eaten.
Who did this?
Hi, I would like to place an order.
XIao Dong Tian
I order 2 delivery meals
I would like one
Yu-Shiang Shredded Pork
and one ma pu tofu.
Two bowls of rice.
Scrambled egg with tomato noodle, one pack
Hot plate rice mix
Can you add two more eggs?
Okay, thanks.
Deliver it to Xiang Xie office, femina fashion department
I don't care.
Okay, if there are no other questions,
Then do it in accordance with the distributed task just now
I've thought of a proposal
Hong Guo, tell us.
I thought of this last night.
The idea may not be complete.
The main idea is
A cheaper modern trend
Because I think, to be modern trend
we don't need to spend that much money.
A penniless modern trend
Hong Guo, so, what you mean is
We should gather trash in the road to wear?
Or make a cloth from a can to help environment recycle?
Easy open can? Your idea is really not bad
Isnt that means, to make designer
Go home and starving
Hong Guo, you were broke these few days and went crazy.
That's why you thought of this idea, right?
Truthfully speaking, yes
I know that my idea is not very good yet.
You know that your idea is not very good yet,
why did you present it and wasted our time then?
Sorry.
Aida
Did what I say was wrong?
At work, The key to determine win or lose is skill
Its not neccesary to show the others these uncomplete
processes.
And its unacceptable because your age is still young, then you have a privilege
To become a qualified fashion editor
Only have passion and dream is far from enough
Aida, enough
Aida doing that is for our magazine too
Eventhoug our sales these past edition has increased
But, we cant be too optimistic
According to survey
Using Ji Jie as our cover magazine brought a huge effect
And also this edition, we used our trump card, Miao Miao
But we have to know that a star like Ji Jie and Miao Miao
are such popular figures.
We cant find them in every edition
100 million
The Number of sales we should achieve is 100 million, everyone !
On top of that, we still have to depend on the design and the contents of the magz
So, if the design of the magz is not outstanding enough
Unable to attract the reader's eye
That maybe will affect the future sales
Then all our past efforts will be for naught.
So, as the worker of Fei Mi Na
I hope that everyone can
Can bring a better proposal
Give your best ability
We are back and still staying in a hotel?
Why don't we go home?
Wasn't this your decision? Are you regretting now?
Remember our agreement
Dont let Fei Fan knows our return's news
Let's stay for 2 days. Where's our IDs?
I don't think that Hong Guo's idea is lacking.
These past time,
Ive analyzed the correlation of sales with reader's reply and the readers' data
I've discovered a very important issue
A kind of modern trend magazine
Has been developing in the country for several years
Several top rank magazines
Have a regular reader and regular market
As a new brand magazine, Femia
We want to achieve target sales of 100 million in one year
Then we ought to forcely enter the already captured market
And furthermore, enter the top 3
But I feel that
But according to the femina's position at present
Nearly impossible
But, femina's style, position
With the other top rank magazine's market
Has a difference
Through the market segmentation
I think we still have chance
To obtain our regular readers
You are wrong.
according Segmentetion in a fixed market
We can't obtain much part in the market share
What we should do is, open a new market
And attract a new regular reader
Femina's reader
Should not be only limited to young business women
We should pull in the college students.
Also pull ordinary workers
Moreover, pull in the 3rd, 4th grade city readers
as well.
Only this way, then can we
achieve our goals.
Maybe Hong Guo's idea is not profesional enough
But, its because she is not stand in a
profesional fashion editor position
But, she stands in the position of ordinary reader
Thats why, we could refer her idea
Also, very different, very unique
No one has done it before.
What's more important is that
Her idea perfectly suited with
What i've said before, a new consumer demand
So, I think
We should let Hong Guo present a detailed proposal
Then we evaluate it
And not blindly denied it
Bai Yin, what do you think?
Then, Hong Guo,
tell us your plan then.
I was thinking that
One piece of limited cloth
Needs my 2 years wage
To buy a half of cloth
If it is what so called Modern Trend
Then, I think most people
Will give up this modern trend
My creation consist of
"could be used" this 3 words
I think probably many people would
Desire to see this concept
As to what it looks like in reality,
What I am thinking of is DIY, do it yourself.
Why don't we do it this way?
Then you,
And assistant publisher
Together take responsible of this proposal
No problem.
Thank you
Thank you Assistant Publisher.
Look at you.
It wasn't easy for me to find time and leave my work
to accompany you overseas.
Look at you, you have been here for only few days.
And what's this about the second honeymoon?
Once we are overseas, you keeping asking
when we are going to go home?
This... really!
Look at the view here.
The place, the food, the things I used
are not what I usually like.
Home is still the best.
You know that
I used this opportunity to hand over the loads to Fei Fan
From small, this fellow has his own opinion
In addition, this is a newly established business
He is not familiar with that
If I show up in the office everyday,
Then he would feel he has someone to depend on
I understand your worried
Endure it for the sake of your precious son.
Let's stay for a few days more.
It's Fei Fan.
Quickly answer it.
Fei Fan
What is it?
Are you both having fun?
Yes.
Then,
when do you plan to come back?
We are not sure yet.
We may tour the world.
Is dad healthy?
Your dad is fine. Don't worrry.
Mom.
I think if dad's health is good,
can you ask him to come back early
To manage situation at Xiang Xie
Son.
Didn't you already made an agreement with your father?
Why are you hurrying him back?
Frankly speaking,
To make Femina achieve 100 million target sales is quite difficult
It could be at that time, I had too much confidenced in myself.
Son.
I know you are having hard time these past days
Son.
Fei Fan,
We are at Tibet, Tibet
We are about to seeing Tibet's pagoda
Not talking anymore.
It's too far, the reception is no good.
Don't forget our agreement.
100 million
And also don't forget those
Those weak people are waiting for you to rescue
Dad!
Hello? Hello?
There's no more reception.
Okay then.
Hello?
It's done.
From Fei Fan's voice tone, he looks like unhappy
We better going home to see him
Our son became spoiled because of you
If I said not going home, that means we are not going home
okay, just like that. lets eat. go
What
Everyone
Help me thinking something
What is a modern trend that dont have to spend money
The person who has taught of something, write it down here
And then hand it over to me
No need to spend money
Just rob, that will be faster
Hong Guo, are you causing some trouble
No
This is the first time I carried a proposal
Then, in that case, I must help you
But hong Guo, I really dont understand
What is the meaning of modern and trend words
I think, wearing a cloth
Comfort is enough
Fatty
Do you want to be modern man
I want
Then I'll teach you
First, you have to throw away all your cloths
in your wardrobe
Okay
Then, your hair style
I gave to grow up my hair
NOt bad not bad
Im sorry
Your face, I really have no idea how to change them
Im sorry im sorry
Want to follow Modern Trend, and no need to spend money
This is really too difficult
Now, a fashionable trend is decided by businessman
Right now, all the unbridled advertisement in media
Either telling you to buy this in this year and
Telling you to buy that in next year
Is that really have to follow advertisement, celebrity, and market demand
To be considered as modern trend ?
Hong Guo, you are just
making things hard for yourself.
Im not scared of hard times
And I believe this poroposal will be liked by many people
In addition, Fei Fan also helps me
This defininetly will be success
If someone whose blind with modern trend helps me
I must be frightened
What ?
You deserved that
Bing bing
Sha Sha Jie, you are in the mood
ask to go out drink coffee
There is not a very special matter
I just feel
We were not seeing each other for a long time
So I decided to ask you out.
Sha Sha JIe
Your bag is quite beautiful
Is that style produced in 05 year
Ah right, its a little bit outdate
But I cant help, I just really love this design
A retro looks is popular right now
I often take out my vintage items to use
Its also quite good
Thats right
Bing Bing, are you still doing a show recently
Im not
That fashion show is tiring, and even not giving me much money
My husband dont want me to be so tired
That way, I could help him manage some of his business
What is your husband profession
My husband
has varied business interests.
Like property, finance, shares and tea leaves.
Anyway, he is businessman
Then, he doing everything that makes money
bing bing
Last I, seems like I heard you said
Your husband opened up a movies company
Yes. That movies company is just not for serious
That movie star looks pretty impressive
Actually they are not making much money
Then, are they planning to shoot a movie recently?
In next 2 month they are going to promote a movie
That movie budget is around 2 million
I think that film will be the most success film in this year
Then how is the progress
Is the lead female decided yet?
not yet
But, the director wants to use the most popular celebrity
The director wants me to be the lead actress
But i have no interest
Then Bing Bingl,
Is there any
Suitable role for me?
Okay, then
Send your application letter to my email
Ill tell the director to give you that role
Really thank you
These past years, You've taken care of me
If Im not helping you, whom should i help
right right. thank you
First in the ratings for this month
it's Ling Jie and Wen Xue's segment.
It achieved a 3.2 percent rating.
This month's second place...
there is no second place.
All the other segments got less than 1%.
All of them didn't qualify.
Is Wen Xue the only ones working in our department?
It's best that you prove to me you are working.
Otherwise...
your desks ,
I will break them all.
Especially you.
You don't have to come to work tomorrow.
I will formally announce it now.
You can go home and take a break.
Lao chief director, didnt you say that only 1 person who gets fired every month
Zao Suo just been fired about 2 weeks
WHy did you fired a person again
A person every month is the least limit
All of you have heard my reputation
In my record Ive fired at most 8 teams in a month
including one director
Is there any problem,,, lao dai?
No No
Just continue your speaking
Does she have to make the atmosphere so tense?
It's just like a horror movie.
Hey! What the !!
