Episode 19
The stars in our BaiHua Village
don't have so many names.
So which stars do you think is most beautiful?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I'm sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
How was it?
Your heart fluttered, didn't it?
Hi, mom.
I'll come see you tomorrow.
There's a little matter.
Stop reading.
Sha Sha, have some breakfast.
You are up so early.
Mr X told me
women who sleep late and get up late will age faster.
He also said that drinking a cup of water in the morning
can flush the system and make you more beautiful.
Then you should drink more.
Sorry! Sorry!
This...
What are you doing?
Why is it like this?
Any big news?
It's news bigger than the day itself.
How big?
What happened? So much commotion this early in the morning.
Hong Guo, you are really amazing.
You actually do what you want to.
Such a big matter. And you hide it from us.
Hong Guo, really!
You are too good.
You actually hooked up with a rich guy earlier than me.
What has happened actually?
[Xiang Xie Group heir's office affair exposed!]
How did this happen?
Auntie, something big happened.
What? What is this?
Look, look.
Isn't this person Hong Guo? Look.
It's Hong Guo right? Why did this happen?
Child, listen to me. Don't panic. Don't panic.
I'm not panicking. You should be the one panicking.
No, she's my daughter, how can I not understand her?
Don't panic. Give her a call.
Let's call her and clarify things.
Call her first.
Right.
I'm finished.
I knew I can't keep it from them.
If Zhang Shu knows, then my mom would have known by now.
Hello
Hello, Hong Guo?
It's me.
I ask you something.
In today's papers, in the headlines, there's a photo
is that person you?
It's not you, right?
It... probably is.
It's really you?
You-then you-you...
You only left your hometown a few days ago.
How can you completely forget the promise you made to me?
It happened when we were 5 years old. How can you take it seriously?
Of course I will take it seriously.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know either.
It's too complicated for me to explain it.
I'm late for work.
Talk to you another day. I'll be leaving for work.
Bye bye. Bye bye.
Rest assured. No matter what happens,
I will always be waiting for you.
Don't worry.
What is it that she shouldn't be worrying?
She hung up.
Look at the way you asked her.
You didn't even ask who is the other person.
You only talked about useless stuff.
I-I know who is he.
Look at what's written here.
Xiang Xie Corporation. Lei Zhen's son. Xie Fei Fan.
Fei Fan!
The always level-headed Fei Fan can be so romantic too.
He has my genes.
Who is this girl?
Is her family background good enough for Fei Fan?
Who cares about her background?
As long as they like it.
No wonder Fei Fan doesn't want us to introduce girls to him.
He already has someone he likes.
That happened so long ago.
Why are there so many people?
What do we do now?
No problem. I'll protect you.
Come, get behind me.
I'm Xia Hong Guo's friend.
Just ask me if you have any questions.
If you have an issue, tell me.
Miss Xia, your family background is very different from Mr Xie's.
Does his and your parents approve of this relationship?
Can you describe your feelings about this good turn of fate for you?
Can you please tell us about it?
Can you tell us?
I never thought we will be chasing this piece of news. Such a coincidence.
Look. Hong Guo is almost squeezed flat.
She surely wouldn't know how to deal with the media.
I'll like to use this chance to explain things.
About that matter,
I didn't do it intentionally.
Are you implying your relationship being exposed is accidental?
Or is it a surprise for you to hook up with Xiang Xie's successor?
No, no. Please let me explain things fully.
Can you comment on it?
Fei Fan is here.
Manager Xie, are you really serious about Miss Xia?
May we know how long have you both been dating?
Talk to me if you have something to ask.
Miss Xia, please tell us?
Fei Fan is here. We have been saved.
Please reply to our questions.
Don't explain anymore. It's making things worse.
Miss Xia, Miss Xia. Miss Xia.
Stop making trouble for us here.
You are the one who is causing trouble.
May we know if you are Miss Xia's lover too?
He must be from exceptional family background to steal Mr Xie's girlfriend.
May we know which family you are from?
Can you tell us your identity?
Everyone,
the matter between Miss Xia and I
is totally my personal business.
It has nothing to do with Xiang Xie.
Thus I don't have to explain to anyone.
Please go back.
Fei Fan, I'll go up first.
Wen Xue
I am sorry.
I've created a problem.
And caused much trouble for you.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I'll just treat yesterday night
as an accident.
I will not take it to heart.
I'll report for work first.
That wasn't an accident.
Just when I finally gathered up enough courage.
What are you doing? I don't need you to console me.
I'm not consoling you.
I'm just with you together.
Thank you for trying so hard to help me.
Thank you.
How capable.
I already said before,
there's no way a person with your standards can get into Femina.
As it turns out, you used the Assistant Publisher.
I think soon enough, you won't have to report for work.
This-Is this really Hong Guo?
How should I address you from now on?
Assistant...
-Assistant Publisher's wife!
It's not like this.
You have been mistaken.
I don't care how it is.
Don't think that because you have someone to back you up, you can fool around at work.
The drafts that you misplaced, settle the problem yourself.
I will go apologize to Master Ling Lian now.
Ask for her forgiveness and to give me a new set of drafts.
Please show some real ability.
Don't make others criticize our assistant publisher for having low standards.
Hong Guo, wait a moment.
Leave from the back door.
I'm afraid the reporters are still at the front entrance.
Thank you, Wang Zhe.
Wen Xue,
it's me, Fei Fan.
Are you free today?
I've something important to tell you.
Why can't you just tell me over the phone?
Alright.
Let's talk tonight when we meet. Bye bye.
Master Ling Lian, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. Sorry.
Alright, alright.
Stop apologizing.
Your apologies are making my head numb.
Mom!
The sketches that you gave me last time, the magazine folks accidentally lost them.
Your mom?
Mom,
please help out Hong Guo,
and sketch a few new ones.
You go and sketch it yourself.
Do you treat your mother as a tap?
Turn the tap on for water.
I've already given them the drafts.
It's not my concern whether they lost them or burnt them.
I'll just treat this as a favour done.
Mom,
you should help someone to the very end.
Being a good person is too hard, I don't want to be one.
If you are really capable,
you should rely on yourself to think of a solution.
And not come begging me the second time.
If you are not capable enough, I don't think you should continue to work for a modern fashion magazine.
Mom, how can you say things like this?
What's wrong with it?
I'm being practical.
Alright.
I am going to sleep, I need to adjust my body clock.
Please leave.
Mom.
Sorry for bothering you, Master Ling Lian.
Bye, Mom.
Wait.
Throw away this piece of draft for me.
I'll be disposing it.
Disposing it.
For you to come all the way here,
is there anything I can help you with?
Last time, you saw my office.
It's my turn to see yours.
I wonder if the person mentioned in the newspaper, Miss Xia, is around?
It's office hours.
Don't worry, I'm just taking a look.
Why are you so worried?
I'm not.
Anyway, perhaps you should know that
I have never failed
to get anything I like
since young.
Including relationships.
That's why, I don't worry about my competitors.
But
you should have told me earlier that
you already have someone you like.
So that I can at least know how many competitors there are.
Am I able to draw this out?
Why does Hong Guo seem to look cuter?
Am I getting near-sighted?
Why are you not responding?
On top of the draft, though there's a little something,
but since I have not seen the sketches, so I don't know what it will look like finally.
After all, I'm not in this line of work.
I am in this line of work.
Besides, I have seen the sketches.
With my instincts and your drawing ability, we should b able to draw them, right?
Then let's try it.
All the best!
Sister Sha Sha, why are you here so early today?
Since I have nothing to do at home anyway,
I might as well come earlier.
I didn't think you would come for today's fashion show.
It will be tiring and you won't get paid.
That right. Sister Sha Sha is a famous celebrity.
How can such a small show be worthy for her?
What celebrity?
Don't over flatter me.
Afterall, didn't I only come in second for that contest?
You shouldn't say it like that. You are well-known within the industry now.
They all call you Biscuit Queen.
"Biscuit Queen"?
That's right, because of this.
Everyone is saying, a rich man making biscuits must have taken a liking to you.
You are going to marry well and enjoy life.
Own lots of jewellery, drive BMW, live in a mansion and eat biscuits.
Stop joking around. Sister Sha Sha is getting angry.
This isn't right.
This trimming isn't like this.
It's a little like...
clouds.
And then,
the wind blows.
It becomes lighter, got it?
Then,
it's soft.
Soft. -Right.
Soft and floating, that kind of feeling.
Draw for me to see how soft and floaty it looks like.
If I can draw as well as you, why do I need your help?
How troublesome.
The drafts are in my head.
But I just find it hard to describe them.
It must be we are not being telepathic enough.
Of course we are not as telepathic as you and Fei Fan.
Why did you drag him in?
He didn't provoke you.
Furthermore,
you didn't tell me Master Ling Lian is your mother.
She's my idol you know.
It's not something I should brag about.
You were the one who helped me get the drafts right?
Why are you being so nice to me?
It's Shen Qiang I'm helping. She's my buddy.
And I love to help
school kids like you who have low IQ the most.
Who has low IQ? You?
Forget it.
I don't need your help.
I can rely on myself.
And how dare you insult me
when I haven't settle the score with you?
The lousy method you taught me before,
what "get closer to the guy"?
"Then kiss him".
You've gotten me into trouble! Still dare to laugh.
Why should you follow what I taught you?
Kissing whenever you like. How is that my fault?
Obviously, you are out to get me.
Yes, yes, it's all my fault.
It's my fault that a greenhorn like you got to know a prince.
Then you can leave this run-down place,
and become a rich woman, is that right?
How I wish someone will harm me in the same way.
You are really happy right?
You are too happy to say anything, is that it?
You are really ridiculous!
Don't change the subject just because you are losing the argument.
How am I losing? -You've lost.
I didn't lose!
Hello. Welcome.
Have you waited long?
Have a seat.
Didn't you say you have something to say to me?
Could it be, you want to give me an exclusive?
Is it the matter between you and Hong Guo?
Is what happened between Hong Guo and I
part of your job?
Both of you are my friends.
From this perspective, it's not part of my job.
But
this matter
is indeed my focus for the near future.
I also received an order
to follow this piece of news.
So, this is related to my job and personal life.
Then just forget it.
What did you actually want to say?
Actually, I asked you out to explain things to you.
What happened between Hong Guo and I- -Wait.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
I don't want to do an interview today.
Xia Hong Guo.
Keep going.
You can surely draw out what is in your head.
Keep going.
Even if you can't draw, you shouldn't waste my paper.
If you don't want to help, then don't make sarcastic remarks.
All right, I'll help you.
After all, my mom taught me how to sketch.At least, it'll be along a similar path.
Have you thought it out? So where is the difference?
I feel there is nothing wrong with the pencil and drawing.
The most important thing that is missing is the feel.
Then can you please describe the feel more clearly?
Stop saying things like "soft" and "like a cloud".
Firstly, we need to be on the same wavelength.
Give me your hand.
Your hand.
How is it? Any feeling?
I feel like farting.
Ok, be a bit more serious.
Quick, again.
Close your eyes.
Closed your eyes yet?
They are closed.
Ok.
Then use your feelings
come find my hands.
Where?
Here.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Why are you a pervert?
I didn't touch anything.
You did it on purpose.
You are so small, how to notice it?
It's your hands that are too big.
Pervert!
Hi, beautiful.
I know you.
What's wrong? Feeling down?
Tell me,
how is it that a village idiot like Xia Hong Guo can get together with a successful person,
but a phoenix like me
can't even find a decent man?
Xie Fei Fan is Xiang Xie's successor,
he can't be serious about Hong Guo.
Look at me.
I have the looks and the figure.
How can I be lousier than Xia Hong Guo?
Tell me, can I be compared to her?
Let me tell you another secret.
I was once the ideal woman for many geeks.
Do you want to know what they call me?
What?
They call me "Legendary Woman for geeks".
But now...
I have been degraded to Biscuit Queen.
And I still need to use my connections to get that title.
Fei Fan,
I never thought you treat me as your drinking buddy.
That's why, I'm not really prepared.
I could only prepare these few dishes in my hurry.
Hope you don't mind.
Have a try.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Try it with this.
This is quite potent.
ErGuoTou? (A kind of strong spirit)
Isn't that too much?
I can't take it.
Honestly, I can't take your kind of alchohol too.
Why not like this? You drink yours, and I drink mine. Let's drink together.
Alright.
Stupid Ling Jie, stupid Ling Jie.
You pervert.
Apologize to me.
I won't forgive you!
No standards.
I'm not going to forgive you!
Say I'm pretty.
Useless!
Why do I keep drawing Hong Guo?
Have you ever heard of this lyric?
Which?
The person I like
is not my lover.
Who do you like?
I like her, but she doesn't know it.
You- Didn't you tell her clearly?
In this aspect, you are like me.
I didn't tell the person I like about it either.
We have something in common.
Actually, I asked myself before, "Why can't I just tell her outright?".
I also asked myself the same question before, so I can understand how you feel.
Actually, it's like this.
I'm afraid if I tell her,
she will just reject me straightaway.
There are times when you, Xie Fei Fan, feel afraid?
I thought Xie Fei Fan will never be scared of anything. There is nothing you cannot solve.
We have another thing in common then.
Come, drink again.
Who is like you?
Do you believe that I will tell her tomorrow?
Fine! I will tell the person I like tomorrow too.
Let's go together.
Then this is settled.
Don't steal mine.
Key.
Where did I put it?
I don't want to come back. Let's continue drinking.
Ye Sha Sha.
Where did you go to drink? Why are you so drunk?
I'm not drunk. Who said I am? Who said I am?
I can still drink another cup with you.
Who are you? Don't touch her.
Let's drink. Don't go.
Don't drink with him.
Okay. You can go back. Go back.
Alright. She is in your care now.
You are not allowed to leave. We haven't finish drinking.
Here.
I've liked you for so long,
don't you know?
Do you know how bad I felt then?
Her mother wouldn't let us be together.
I sell biscuits, what can I do about it?
All of them call me Biscuit Queen.
I was a winner before.
A winner.
Why are you here?
You stinking hooligan.
No. Sha Sha. Sha Sha.
We didn't do anything last night.
Of course we didn't!
Don't you dare say it.
Don't you dare look at me!
Stinking hooligan, you.
You- I'm saying- I'm thinking-
Don't you dare leave.
I-
Wen Xue, quickly come out and see.
I haven't woke up yet.
Stop complaining.
What is it? What happened?
You will thank me later.
Ye Sha Sha.
No wonder you didn't return to your room to sleep last night.
Hua Zai.
This morning is so exciting, there's already a surprise after we just woke up.
R-rated. Schoolkids cannot watch.
Schoolkid.
Waiting for me?
I'm waiting for Hong Guo.
Right, I'm not going to the office today.
I'll leave the office stuff to you.
What are you and Hong Guo up to?
Looks like you are going to be late.
Hurry, hurry.
The exterminator.
Hi
Hey, you are not small at all.
I was wrong.
I have an idea.
First we draw a sketch.
Hey, are you listening?
What idea?
Sketch on-site.
The shop that my mother owns,
only sells the clothes she designed.
The things in the drafts, are there too.
Is it for real?
That's great!
If we have the actual thing, we can draw more clearly.
Pervert.
Why isn't Hong Guo here yet?She normally comes in early.
She must have known that she is in deep trouble.
So she doesn't dare to come.
Why would she be here after she got into trouble and lost her boss' favour?
Don't tell me she resigned?
Have the drafts been found?
Still haven't found them yet.
What if we remove the pages with the drafts?
If only things could be that simple.
From the start, it was Hong Guo who left out some clothes for the shooting, so we used the drafts to fill in.
I know this.
More importantly, the drafts and the media conference are tied together.
For better promotion,
we will be organizing it with Xiang Yang TV Station.
And we have already informed the media what to write about this event.
Can we call-off the conference?
Call-off?
Sure.
Only if we don't have to consider Femina's image.
What about Hong Guo? Where is she?
She is on leave today.
She said she is trying to think of a solution.
Think of a solution.
Solution. Solution.
What do you think we should do now?
Please, please.
We will leave after we finish drawing. It will only take a moment.
I'm sorry. We are really not open yet.
Please come back after we are open.
We will make it fast.
You have severely interrupted our work.
Please stop this.
How petty. They won't even let us look.
Is Teacher LingLian really your mom?
LingLian's style.
No way even if it's her son.
We can't draw inside the store.
But we can draw here.
Sha Sha.
I just want to tell you,
I will take responsibility for you.
Take what responsibility?
Let me tell you,
nothing happened between us.
Leave, leave.
Sha Sha, listen to my explanation.
Explain what? Why aren't you at work?
I applied for half day leave just to explain to you.
There's nothing for you to explain.
Let me tell you.
I will warn you again,
nothing really happened between us. Leave. LEAVE!
Sha Sha.
Teacher!
Don't call me teacher.
Master, master.
You came at the right time.
I have something that needs your advice.
Can you take a look for me?
Don't let me see. I can't see anything.
I accidentally lost Teacher Ling Lian's-
Don't ask me anymore questions. Ask once more and I will start charging.
Do you know what is special about Ling Lian's designs?
I'm not sure.
You don't even know her distinguishing feature, so why are you here drawing?
Because I accidentally lost her drafts, so I have to produce the same things
within the shortest period of time.
Ling Lian's style can't be duplicated so easily.
It is something that comes from deep within her.
The clothes designed by Ling Lian are specifically made.
The entire clothing looks like a complete piece of fabric.
What is the crucial thing?
It's the stereoscopicness.
The human body is three-dimensional, not flat.
Clothings are also three-dimensional.
Even if you are drawing on flat surfaces,
you should also show the stereoscopicness of the cutting.
"Stereoscopicness of the cutting".
So what you mean is-
Master!
Master.
What master? Have you gone crazy?
Where's Master? Have you seen her?
No, I have not.
Are you alright?
You are having a fever again.
Since when?
I'll be leaving first.
I'm leaving.

This is where the episode ends. The version we have repeats parts silently until the end.
