- Episode 16 -
Mr. Lu, don't be anxious. Take a seat first. Don't be rash.
What's going on? Did my father's condition improve?
I'm very sorry. I'm here today to tell you that
your father's emergency treatment last night was ineffective.
How could this happen? Say something.
Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for your loss. I'll try to find other solutions to bail you out.
- She's still unwilling to drop the lawsuit?!- Yes.
She is doing this on purpose. She wants me to be kept here.
I won't hinder her future this way! She has always been this selfish!
I couldn't tell in the past but I can really see her true colors now.
The court only cares about evidence. As long as you didn't hit her--
Enough, stop talking to me about this. I want to leave now, okay? Move aside.
Mr. Lu, don't do this.
- Move aside. Let me out!- Mr. Lu, don't do this!
- Let me out! - Stay calm! Mr. Lu,
you must stay calm.
Anyone there?
Coming, coming!
Xiao Qin isn't here. What is it?
I'm looking for you.
- Why are you looking for me? - Because I missed you.
Dumbo, how could you say it aloud like that?
What nonsense are you sprouting?
Yes, I'm talking nonsense. Frankly, I'm here to check on the progress of the embroidery.
Yeah, right. Get to the point.
Actually, I wanted you to help me with something.
Can you ask your embroidery teacher if she knows someone by the name of Song Xiu Hua?
She is also an embroiderer in Xiping and she is also very highly skilled.
Oh, I've already asked for you. There isn't anyone who knows her.
Don't know her?
Did she change her name herself? Hey,
help me to ask her if she knows anyone with the family name of Song or Jin?
This person is really important to me. I must find her.
Alright, didn't I tell you that no one knows her? Hurry and leave.
I'm not done talking.
I'm giving you one minute. Speak to your heart's content.
Why do I feel that you are acting abnormal today and trying to chase me away?
Are you shy and scared to see me?
Did you fall in love with me after I recommended a big business venture to you?
Li Yun Kai, oh, Li Yun Kai.
Where do you get your confidence?
Let me tell you. Even if all the men in Xiping die, I won't like you, Li Yun Kai.
Scram!
Why are you so ungrateful?
I recommended such a big business venture to you. Shouldn't you thank me?
Then, tell me how you want me to repay you.
You see, I made my law firm colleagues agree to wear your embroidered ties.
Do you know how much time I spent to persuade them?
Hence, shouldn't you repay me with your time?
Where are we going? Why did you drag me to this place? Slow down!
- Slow down. - Get on the boat. Quick!

- Sir, stop the boat. I'm getting off!- Why are you getting off the boat?
Hey, you're really leaving?
Here, sir. Here's the money.
Keep the change.
Are you really to going to study overseas?
Yes, because I study fashion design.
If I want to excel in this field, I need overseas experience,
but growing up, I have never been overseas.
The only way I could stay up-to-date on trends is by looking at these magazines.
Through studying, I want to combine traditional Chinese embroidery and international trends
to design something that everyone around the world will like.
Those are good ideas, but studying overseas requires a lot of prior preparations.
Yes. I have already checked.
The college I want to register for requires three conditions. First is the tuition fees.
Second is language. And lastly, I need a recommendation letter. I can ask my teacher to write my letter.
It's just the tuition fees...
I'll draw up more designs. These design fees should cover the tuition.
Why are you paying the tuition yourself? Does Lead Embroiderer Xu not want you to study overseas?
It's not that.
Growing up, I have received a lot of assistance from the Jin family. I already owe them a lot.
I'm already an adult. Regarding studying overseas...
I feel bad to trouble them about this again.
Li Yun Zhe. I can sense your good feelings about me.
You will definitely help me with the tuition for overseas study, right? Open your mouth now.
Miss Zhang,
can I ask you a question?
Are you someone who has confidence in yourself?
Why are you suddenly asking me this?
I'm saying, if Strong Group supports your overseas studies,
would you agree?
Why would Strong Group fund me?
This is not a good idea.
This is not my personal funding. It's a portion of Strong Group's investment in Golden Thread Embroidery.
You are an apprentice of Golden Thread Embroidery. When you come back from your overseas studies,
you can broaden the cultures of Golden Thread Embroidery into the international market.
The profit from this will be worth more than your tuition fees.
I'm very grateful for Strong Group's good intention but I can't accept it
because I don't want to establish this on business.
It will put me under lots of pressure. My education and life will be affected.
Thank you, Director Li. I still have some other matters. I'm leaving now.
Wait a moment,
Zhang Yu Xin.
If you think that the company's funding will be a big burden to you,
I will personally provide you with the fund. Can I?
He finally opened his mouth. He is indeed interested in me.
This idea is even worse. I'm afraid that other people may misunderstand.
If you are afraid that others would find out, I can keep this a secret.
I guarantee that I will not let anyone find out about this.
I will consider this. You can go back to work. I'm leaving now.
Women never speak their mind.
You obviously wanted a sponsor, yet you still pretended to be proud.
But it seems like I've fallen into her trap.
Why do I say something like that?
It's going to be rather interesting.
President, please have some tea. Sorry
to make you come all the way here.
No, I got the chance to get some fresh air.
Do you have news on Xiu Hua?
Not currently. It's like this: a few days ago
our company hosted a cheongsam competition for a celebrity.
The second place winner, whether it's her embroidery technique or design creativity,
had extreme talent.
If she could enter your Golden Thread Embroidery to learn,
then in the future, she can definitely create even better creations.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, I wonder if you could let me help her to
get her into Golden Thread Embroidery and receive some of your teachings.
You want me to accept her as a disciple?
You'll need to find Lead Embroiderer Xu about this.
She's the one responsible for Golden Thread Embroidery now.
She already has many disciples and a lot of business to attend to.
I'm afraid she doesn't have the time to teach another disciple.
If she could receive your guidance, that would be great.
Hai Song, it's rare that you care a lot for this matter.
Then, let me go back and think about it. I'll reply to you soon.
- Alright. - Is there anything else?
- No more. - Then, I'll head back now.
I'll send you off.
- No need. You're busy, I'll leave myself.- Okay.
- Be careful.- Okay.
Xiu Hua, I've already talked to the Grand Lead Embroiderer about what you asked me to do.
Don't worry.
Alright.
What am I thinking?
- Hello? - Yun Kai, it's me.
Dad, what's up?
I contacted your supervisor.
I'm preparing to have you transferred back to Zhenhu for work.
What?
This... doesn't seem like a good idea.
What's not good about it?
Right, I've already got the paperwork done for you.
You can come back here to work by next week.
Dad, Dad, Dad well... I'm doing fine at the grassroots level. Really, it's teaching me a lot.
I think I still need to exercise myself a little. I believe I should stay here a few more years.
Don't talk nonsense. You've fooled around outside for long enough.
It's time you help share some responsibilities now. Alright, come back to work next week.
I have a meeting, talk later.
Dad! I--
I don't agree, Dad!
I'm really going to be single for five years.

You're thinking of Yi Bei again?
Every time when you drew in the past,
she would be next to you, running around,
yet she didn't cause any trouble.
♫ Grab onto the thread of time Bit by bit, we’ll be ourselves again ♫
These last few days, I keep thinking
that year, maybe Yi Bei didn't come back for the competition
because she was too young and couldn't remember the path home.
Now she's all grown up. When she sees this picture, she'll definitely come back.
Zhi Ming,
let's use this picture to create search notices.
As long as we work together,
we'll definitely find our daughter.
Grandma, how come you're still up this late?
I'm old, and can't fall asleep.
I really would like to help you with the embroidery,
but your skill level is much higher than mine.
You're still young, take it one step at a time.
Right, Yu Xin. I have a question for you.
From the cheongsam competition for that celebrity,
what kind of person is the second place winner?
Why are you suddenly asking this?
A good friend of mine has requested that I
accept her as disciple.
How is this girl's
conduct and temper?
We aren't that familiar. We haven't met that many times,
but I feel that she's too eager for success.
What does that mean?
Just, last time in the competition, to get Lisa Wu to prefer her design,
she used an unique dye. In the end, it caused Lisa Wu to have an allergic reaction.
Maybe she was afraid of getting blamed but after that, without saying a word, she ran off.
She's someone who can't take responsibility?
I don't like to talk bad about people behind their backs.
But, I think she's really unfit to enter our Golden Thread Embroidery.
I understand.
Then, Grandma rest early. I'm going back now.
Zhang Guo Guo. As long as I'm here, don't think about stepping into Golden Thread Embroidery.
I will definitely make you mine today. I'm so good looking. How could you reject me?
What?
I have some urgent business. Come here.
I don't have time.
I really do have urgent business. I'll text the address to you.
If you don't come today, then I'm not leaving. Alright.
Hello?
Lunatic.
Do you think everyone's as leisurely as you in this world?
I don't have that much time to play with you. Lunatic.
I don't have time for you.
"Be there or be square."
I'll be there or be square when I'm done with my work.
Guo Guo,
I want you to be my girlfriend.
I love you.
I want us to be together.
Write properly. Look at the sloppy handwriting.
Do you have urgent business?
It's not urgent, it's just a friend wants to meet with me later.
♫ Treat the rain as an envelope, ♫

I'm going back to feed the baby.
Mom, how come you're suddenly so interested in the child?
What do you mean, interested in the child?
This is your child, my grandchild.
How can I not be interested? Get back to work.
Hey, Guo Guo.
Who's the kid your mom was holding? She's pretty cute.
She is cute.
Guo Guo, could it be your kid?
Today's young adults really aren't like us in our youth.
Just eat your wontons, don't make irresponsible remarks.
How could it be? Guo Guo, you haven't even married, where did a child come from?
My child is my child.
Please settle your bill now. It's ¥20.

Guo Guo.
Hey, Teacher! What are you doing here?
You're going to go make deliveries?
Right. I'm going to the law firm.
Guo Guo,
I want to discuss something with you.
What is it?
I'm thinking...
Can you find a good family for Le Tong?
And send her away?
I'll take you to Zhenhu.
Zhenhu?
Go to Zhenhu and learn embroidery from Grand Lead Embroiderer.
Alright?
Grand Lead Embroiderer?
You mean, the number one embroiderer in China?
Right.
She's willing to accept me?
As long as you're willing, I can take arrange everything.
Guo Guo, I sincerely hope
that you can accomplish the embroidering dream that I wasn't able to accomplish.
- Are you willing? - Of course I am!
But, Teacher,
I've already agreed to raise Le Tong. I have to take good care of her.
We can bring Le Tong along.
We'll take care of her while learning embroidery.
Teacher, learning embroidery requires a lot of time and energy.
While looking after Le Tong, I don't think I'll have the time.
I think I should stay in Xiping.
So, I'm sorry, Teacher.
I can't help you accomplish your dream.
Hey.
Xiu Hua's here?
Ai Yu, do you know?
The entire town is talking behind your backs,
saying Guo Guo gave birth to Le Tong.
Guo Guo likes Le Tong. What am I supposed to do?
How are you doing your job as a mother?
You should be concerned about her.
Guo Guo is still so young.
You want her to take care of a child at this age. What is she going to do in the future?
Xiu Hua, I don't like your words.
- It's unrelated to me. - How is it unrelated to you?
You are Guo Guo's mom. How can you say it's unrelated to you?
In major issues,
you've never considered things from Guo Guo's perspective.
You tried to stop her from learning embroidery. Now, you want her to raise a kid with an unclear relation.
Are you trying to ruin Guo Guo?
Xiu Hua, if you keep talking like this, I'm going to be angry.
I've helped you for so many years, do you not know what kind of person I am?
Speaking like this will hurt our relationship.
Okay, I have work to do so I'm not going to receive you as a guest today.
Ai Yu, I'm not here to fight with you.
I just want to tell you
Guo Guo is my student. Her business is my business.
I'm going to intervene in this issue for sure.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, I apologize for disturbing you again.
This time, it's still about the topic of accepting a disciple.
Hui Jie, you were there the day of the competition as well.
You must have seen that girl. Talk to me about her.
That girl's handiwork is good.
She is talented.
But, after the competition, Lisa Wu did have a health issue.
Also, after the competition, the girl did seem to disappear.
I've heard a little about this before.
The company kept a low profile on this,
but I still feel a few doubts.
She is a young girl from a small town, yet she became a finalist.
She must be a rare talent.
I still hope you won't pass on this uncommon pearl.
Our Golden Thread Embroidery's policy on accepting disciples
places character first.
Craft and skill comes secondly.
Along with Hai Song's stubborn recommendation, why don't we meet her?
I hope she'll be the outstanding child you've been describing.
Okay, then let's set up a time to meet.
Okay.
That girl is still playing underhanded tricks.
No, I definitely can't let her meet Grandma.
This handwork is really good.
It's elegant and pretty.
You made so many ties in such a short time.
It must have been hard on you.
Not at all. I'm glad you're satisfied. This is only my duty.
This is the price we agreed on.
You count and reaffirm it.
We are not strangers. There is no need to count it.
Thank you.
- Here. - Thanks.
Here.
Here. You're welcome.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Here. Your tie.
What do you mean by this?
What do I mean? What do you mean?
Yesterday I waited for you an entire afternoon. Seven hours.
I stood in the rain like a soaked chicken. And now you ask what I mean?
What other meaning could I have?
It's not like I asked you to go! Why are you yelling at me?
Besides when I went, you weren't even there.
Then, tell me. Whose kid is she?
What do you mean "whose?" She's mine. What about it?
Great.
As long as you'll admit it.
It's none of my business whose child she is.
I also don't want to make it my business.
I don't have anything else to say.
Hey!
Are you insane?
So confusing.
Zhang Guo Guo, what's so great about you?
You only know to embroider.
You're so crazy and randomly popped up with a child. I don't know what's so good about you.
Why am I thinking about her? I forgot. I already forgot her.
Starting today, I have amnesia. I forgot. I don't know anything.
Who is it?
Li Yun Kai, open the door! I have to speak with you.
Open the door!
What do you want?
You had a bad attitude towards me today.
What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the tie I made?
Are you here to ask about this?
Not only this...
Stop pondering. Let me ask you something.
You asked yesterday if I was planning to confess to you yesterday.
Oh, my god. You're so funny. I was just bored yesterday and had nothing to do.
I didn't mean anything by it!
- That's not what I meant--- I'm not done speaking.
If you have any other love interests or if you're still keeping in contact
with the child's father, then don't come to a single man's house at night, okay?
What are you saying?
I just wanted to ask why you were looking for Song Xiu Hua. What's your relationship to her?
None of your business. I thought you don't know her. Why should I tell you? I'll repeat myself again:
you're already a mother, so don't come find me at night. Good-bye.
How is this related to the child's mother? Listen to me. That child is--
Did you take the wrong medicine?
My only fault is not coming to find you immediately yesterday. Must you be so petty?
I originally wanted to give you a way to save yourself from embarrassment. Whatever.

Is anyone here?
Who are you looking for?
Are you Zhang Guo Guo's embroidery teacher?
I'm here to represent Golden Thread Embroidery. My name is Zhang Yu Xin.
Oh. Did you need something?
I'm here to bring a few words to you. You had Chairman Li Hai Song speak for you
hoping to get Zhang Guo Guo into Golden Thread Embroidery. Grand Lead Embroiderer already knows about this.
She's very not pleased.
She told me to tell you that not everybody can come to Golden Thread Embroidery.
She definitely won't accept Zhang Guo Guo as disciple. She told you to give up hope.
Teacher.
What are you doing here?
Anyway, Grand Lead Embroiderer told you not to waste your time. I'm leaving.
Wait a second.
Did Grand Lead Embroiderer really say that?
Everything I said today was Grand Lead Embroiderer's intention.
I'm a disciple of Golden Thread Embroidery, how can I joke around with you?
Good-bye.
Sister, what did you say to Teacher?
Sister? She's your older sister?
No,
we met each other and talked a few times at the competition.
She's older than me, so I call her "older sister."
Teacher, are you okay?
Guo Guo, go back first. I want to rest.
Zhang Yu Xin.
Sister. Sister! What did you say to Teacher?
I'm representing Golden Thread Embroidery to tell your teacher to know her place
and not to take something that doesn't belong to her.
Sister, you really don't have manners.
You used to talk back to Mom, but she didn't criticize you. You should at least respect my teacher.
It's enough that you respect her. I'm just here to pass on a message.
What message? You made my teacher so upset.
Your teacher wants you to learn embroidery from Grand Lead Embroiderer at Golden Thread Embroidery. Don't act dumb.
- Go to Golden Thread Embroidery? - Don't pretend to be innocent.
Let me tell you, Golden Thread Embroidery isn't a place where you can go just because you want to.
Embroidery is also not something you can learn just because you want to. Just stay here and sell your wontons.
Don't always be copying what I learn and competing with me.
There are some things that rely on natural talent. How can you beat me?
Right, you have natural talent. And you've gone to college.
Then, why are you afraid of someone like me who sells wontons?
Who says I'm afraid of you? I'm afraid you'll slow me down.
I'll tell you one last time: don't think about entering Golden Thread Embroidery in this lifetime.
- You're finally back one time, shouldn't you go see Mom?- Why should I go see her?
Don't tell her I came today.
You--! Sister--!
Heartless.
Have you made all the arrangements?
Yes. There are advertising light-boxes at bus stations all over town,
advertising on buses that travel in the routes around Zhenhu,
also there are TV advertisements and banners. If Yi Bei is still within the province, she'll see this picture.
It's been so many years. Can she recognize her own drawing?
She can! She definitely can.
Right, when do you plan on beginning?
I can start in ten days.
- Ten days? - What's wrong?
I'm thinking, would it be better to wait until Yu Xin goes abroad?
She's a sensitive child.
She thinks she's Yi Bei's replacement, and she's been living off of our opinions.
If she knows we're still looking for Yi Bei, I'm afraid she'll overthink.
That's right. How about I contact the advertising team? We'll postpone it for ten more days.
Teacher, Director Li from Strong Group is signing the contract with you today. We'll depart in thirty minutes.
Okay, I'll get ready.
Zhi Ming, let's talk when I get back.
Professor, chrysanthemum tea helps relieve the heat and cleanses your body. Remember to drink it.
What is that?
It's nothing.
Yu Xin, let me know what else you need when you go overseas.
Okay, Professor. I'm going to prepare now.
Mom, why isn't she drinking?
How could formula milk compare to breast milk?
She's had breast milk before, so she can't stand formula milk.
How do you know she's had breast milk before?
I'm also a mother. How would I not know?
This child has a sad life. She's unhealthy and doesn't eat.
I'm afraid she won't survive.
Mom, don't worry. There will surely be a way.
