Martin...Zita and Mr Ma are working together to sell Modes.
As long as the Trend Master is tied to Modes,
then the selling price will be completely different.
Trend Master? Who gave you that title?
Mr Ma was so mad today. What do you think he'll do tomorrow?
He might give up on the buyout.
Gina won't buy Modes without the Trend Master.
Or he may carry on with the buyout.
Tomorrow Chairman Ma may
ask the board to terminate my employment with immediate effect.
Hello, Zita. What's the discussion? OK. I will deal with the rest. Bye.
How is it, Mr Ma'?
Has Zita's side come to a decision yet?
Zita held a video conference with their US shareholders all morning.
They've finally come back with an offer.
There's a 40 percent reduction in price.
They will buy Modes without the Trend Master
Will the board accept the price?
You two know the company's situation.
Several major projects in Singapore and Taiwan have fallen through.
And we're paying a lot of interest to the banks every month.
What else can we do aside from sell Modes?
Mr Ip...
I heard that Modes is being sold. Is that true?
I heard that the buyer is your adversary Gina. Is that true?
If Modes really gets sold, will you stay?
Can you accept Modes becoming a magazine under Gina?
Your comments please...
Guys, if you have questions, please contact our PR department.
Excuse me.
Mr Ip, your comments please.
I don't know who told you guys that.
Up to now, I still haven't been told that Modes is being sold.
Please verify that before you release the story.
No, your comments please...
Don't come over or I'll call security... How come the news has leaked?
I bet Zita did it to make us worry.
Tell our colleagues in editorial
that there'll be a meeting in an hour.
OK.
First Modes Girl was folded. Now Modes is being sold.
Is the intel reliable?
This isn't a rumor. It's a fact. Zita told me herself.
This morning Mr Ma suddenly convened a board meeting.
I guess he wanted to talk about the sale.
Ada, your dad was in the conference room too
You must know about this.
He mentioned that the company has financial problems.
Selling assets to raise cash is quite normal
I believe Modes can get a buyer and fetch a good price.
It's no surprise that they'd want to sell it
I don't understand why you're so worried.
After Modes is sold, there'll just be a new boss.
We'll still have our own jobs.
If the buyout is really successful, Chief will get kicked out of Modes.
What will you guys do?
I don't care if he stays or leaves.
We're just employees.
Even if there's a change in boss or chief editor,
we still need to keep working.
Don't worry so much.
Whoever the buyer is, I don't think they'll give up the Trend Master.
Sorry for convening this meeting on such a short notice.
There are some minor changes to Gina's terms for the acquisition of Modes.
I hope we can make a decision soon
and complete the sale as soon as possible.
What's Gina's new offer?
Man, please explain to the directors.
OK. Ip Long refused to sign a new contract.
They said Modes is not worth the original price without the Trend Master.
They requested a 40 percent reduction in price.
A 40 percent reduction just because of one person?
They're just using this as an excuse to push down the price.
Modes is the number one magazine in Hong Kong. It's making money.
Even though it makes money for the company every month, so what?
We know how much it makes. A top magazine isn't worth much.
It can't solve our financial problems.
Sell it and there's at least a chance of surviving.
At least there'll be a way out.
We've run Modes for eight years. We've put in so much money.
Its goodwill alone is worth more than that price.
Szeto, you think the name Modes is valuable'?
It's Ip Long and the Trend Master title that's valuable.
The readers and the brands have no loyalty to Modes.
They just buy the Trend Master.
Why don't we talk to him again and persuade him to sign the contract?
Don't bother. Don't you know his character?
Mr Ma talked to him for hours. He simply refused to sign.
Anyway we need to hurry and complete the transaction as soon as possible.
Otherwise I'm worried that Gina might change their minds.
I think Gina's offer is really reasonable. They told me that they didn't mind
even though Ip Long refused to sign the contract.
Modes can do without Ip Long.
But his current contract won't expire for another six months.
That's why I promised Gina that
before we sign the acquisition agreement,
I will terminate Ip Long's employment.
I believe you've all heard that Modes is being sold to Gina.
This isn't a rumor. It's true.
I believe the company will accept Gina's buyout offer.
Very soon they will terminate my employment
and ask me to leave Modes immediately.
Zita is making this personal. She lost to us.
She's so upset that she wants to kick you out through the buyout.
Sit down.
No. I'm an employee in Modes. Why can't I voice my opinions?
I'm going to talk to Mr Ma now.
Yan, sit down.
Before I get the termination letter from the company
and while I still have authority as the chief editor,
I want to give my final instructions.
From now on, there will be three editorial teams.
Zoe, Yan and Meg, you'll each lead a team.
Zoe, you're the most experienced among the three teams.
You'll be in charge of the headlines and cover.
OK.
There's always been a shortage of assistant editors.
I'm transferring Peggy from DT to assist.
Fong-fong, I want you to work harder
and keep an eye on the three teams of assistant editors
while there's a shortage in staff.
OK.
Ada will remain Modes' deputy editor-in-chief.
Of the 300-odd pages,
feel free to ask them to revise any page that you're not happy with.
If you're not happy with all 300-odd pages,
then ask them to revise them all.
You need to be the goalkeeper.
I will.
Danielle, you will be Modes' acting chief editor.
Danielle is a founding staff. She's worked under me for five years.
Honestly, I had doubts about your ability.
But after I seeing the blue print for Modes Girl's first issue,
I've changed my mind.
If the magazine were published,
my conservative estimate would be 30,000 copies sold.
The staffing and operation for the other departments will remain the same.
Sorry, Master.
I think TF department will be history.
The three of us have decided to leave.
You brought us here.
You can't leave us here while you leave yourself.
Without the Trend Master, there's no need for the TF department.
Hello. OK. Thank you.
Human Resources just issued a memo.
The board has decided to terminate your employment.
They want you to leave in an hour.
All your requirements are written in the contract. See if there's any problem.
I can ask colleagues in legal to amend it
if there's a problem.
Joe, please take a look.
OK.
Have you talked to Chief Editor Ip yet?
Don't worry. Modes plays a role in the show too.
It's only logical that he'd appear in it.
That's really great.
If the budget isn't enough, don't hesitate to tell me.
I can increase the amount anytime.
Thank you.
Excuse me. Vincy, can I talk to you over there?
Excuse me...What's the matter?
We can't sign the contract.
Master might not be able to appear in the show.
Chris called me just now.
He said Human Resources has issued
a termination letter to Master with immediate effect.
Ceci, just pretend you never answered that call.
Don't say the wrong thing.
OK. There's no problem.
Is everything OK?
Everything's fine.
They were reminding me of a meeting in the office later.
So is the contract OK?
If it is, then I'll confirm the time with Chief Editor Ip.
No problem. . Thank you.
Mr Chi's secretary Irene told me just now
that Mr Ma has already gone to the lobby to wait for Zita.
Once they've agreed on the terms of the buyout,
they will sign the agreement immediately.
I'm going downstairs to stop them.
I don't know what you guys think about this.
My time at Modes is shorter than everyone else here.
But I really love this place.
I've lived by myself ever since I was 17 years old.
I have no family.
After I joined Modes, I feel like it's like my home.
All of you and Chief are like my family.
We quarrel. We get jealous. We complain.
But in the most critical moments, we've always come together.
We've worked together and won so many battles.
I don't want to surrender now. We can't lose this battle.
I don't want someone to occupy my home.
If Modes gets sold and loses the Trend Master, would it still be Modes?
Do you think it's still meaningful to stay here?
I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time. Sorry.
OK. Call me as soon as you hear anything.
How is it?
The board has told Master to leave in an hour.
Chris said Mr Ma and the buyer knew Master would refuse to sign a new contract.
So they decided to fire him with immediate effect.
Why?
Modes is worth nothing without the Trend Master.
I don't know what Mr Ma's thinking.
But if Master has to leave Modes,
he has a right not to appear in Le Rouge's fashion show.
OK. I'm working on a solution.
But the contract requires Master to appear.
Otherwise we'll be in breach. We'll have to pay damages.
Listen carefully.
Don't tell anyone about our contract with Le Rouge,
especially the editorial department.
Well? Did the people in the States call?
Not yet.
If you ask me how much I love... Why have you all stopped packing?
An hour goes by really quickly.
I won't give you one second more to pack your things.
Chi Wei-man, get out.
Ip Long, you're still talking to me in this tone? You're not the king here anymore.
You won't even be able to enter this building in an hour, let alone this office.
It's 2:15pm now. We still have 45 minutes before Long has to leave.
In other words, Long's still the most senior here at this moment.
You're sitting in his office right now. Please get out.
Please get out now.
Are you sure this is still his office? The entire department is mine now.
Mr Ma gave the order that
before the agreement with Gina comes into effect,
I am Modes' acting publisher.
Please pack your things now.
If you had come to say goodbye, I'd still treat you like a human being.
I can't believe you're still such a jerk to the end.
Mean? So are you. Why do I need to pretend?
You're the Trend Master. So what?
You wouldn't let me touch the blue print.
So what?
You kicked me out of Modes. So what? I'm the last man laughing here.
Listen carefully. I'll be back in an hour. If you still haven't packed your things,
I will throw them into the garbage room like trash. That includes you, trash...Trash.
Long, what if we don't hear anything from the US side?
That won't happen. They will call. I know they will.
Chairman, she's here.
Hi, Zita.
Our colleagues in the legal department have prepared the agreement already.
You just need to sign it. Then Modes will be yours.
What about Ip Long?
Don't worry.
As requested, I've already fired him with immediate effect.
Nothing will stop the transaction now.
OK.
Why are you all here?
Chairman Ma, my name is Cheung Yat-ning. I've worked in Modes for less than a year.
If Ip Long can't stay in Modes, I will resign immediately.
What are you guys doing?
It was the board's decision to terminate Ip Long's employment.
No one can change that decision.
Chairman Ma, I'm Modes' acting chief. If Ip Long has to leave Modes, I will resign
I'm Modes' editor. I will resign too.
I'm Modes' deputy editor-in-chief. If Ip Long leaves, I will resign.
Without Chief Editor Ip in Modes, I will resign too.
Chairman Ma, I will resign too.
What's this?
Chairman Ma, whether we resign immediately
depends on what you're going to say.
What is this? Is this a threat?
You want to threaten me and the board with resignation? Listen carefully.
The board won't change its decision
just because some minor staff like you guys threaten to resign.
Ada, your dad is a director. Shouldn't you side with him?
I'm a member of Modes' editorial department.
I should side with them.
Mr Ma, I hope you'll consider this very carefully.
There's no need to consider. There'll be no bargaining.
Even if a hundred more employees threaten to resign,
the board still won't withdraw its decision.
Ms. Hung, you're an editor too.
You should know very well that
the editorial department of a magazine is its soul.
If you insist on completing this transaction,
what you'll get will just be an empty shell without a soul.
Shut up. Zita, regarding staff, I can...
Mr Ma, buying Modes without the Trend Master
is already the greatest concession I will make.
Yeah, I know.
You can't blame me for this.
Blame Ip Long for being able to make them so dedicated to him.
I think I need to reconsider our deal.
Zita, you...
I finally understand that
Modes doesn’t just depend on the Trend Master.
I hope I'll have a chance to work with all of you in the future.
Zita, please listen to me.
There won't be a problem with staff...
Ip Long, did you tell them to make trouble here?
Even if we can't sell Modes, you still can't stay.
Chairman Ma, I think it's time we talked.
I won't keep you for long. 15 minutes.
In 15 minutes you will think my colleagues were right.
Mr Ma, Simon said the agreement's on hold...
Mr Chi...Sorry.
What's going on?
We still need to discuss some details.
Did someone make trouble?
He's no longer an employee here. He has no right to speak.
Mr Chi, can't you see I'm talking to Chairman Ma? Please get out.
Excuse me. On what grounds can you tell me to get out?
I fear no one except petty people like you.
Ditto.
You never manage to pull anything off. You screw up every time.
You want to know what we're talking about?
I'm sorry. You're not qualified.
Please get out.
Long, you should know who calls the shot here.
Why would I listen to you and get out?
Man, get out.
Mr Ma, don't... don't listen to his nonsense, OK?
I said, get out. Out.
Got it...Got it.
Long, it's just the two of us in this office. I'll tell you our situation.
You think Modes can survive as long as you can stop our merger with Gina?
Let me be frank. If we don't sell Modes,
the bank will petition the court to liquidate the company.
Modes won't survive in that event.
Do you really think selling Modes to Gina will be beneficial to the company and Modes?
I can assure you that there will be only one winner in that case.
It will be Gina.
Modes won't fetch a good price without the Trend Master.
The meagre sum you get won't solve your problem.
The company will barely survive. I know too well how Zita thinks.
She says this is a merger.
As soon as she gets Modes, she'll shut it down right away.
Then she'll allocate Modes' people and readers to her magazine.
I really don't need to know what she's thinking.
I just know that the company doesn't have a choice now.
Wrong. There's still a choice.
I've got a better buyer who's interested in Modes.
Who's that?
My former employer Closet in the States.
They want to develop the Asian market through Modes.
Chairman Ma, if you trust me, I can get the best price from them.
How?
Modes was the most valuable
when the Trend Master first appeared five years ago.
Yeah.
We just need to create another Trend Master to set a new trend.
Good. So we'll repeat history, right? Easy.
Sorry, Long. I don't mean to doubt you. ls Closet really interested in Modes?
I'll ask Closet to send us a letter of intent by tomorrow evening.
Then you can account for this to the board and the banks.
I'm really relieved then. Long, I'm counting on you this time.
Thank you.
How is it?
Vincy, the legal department put the sale and purchase agreement with Gina on hold.
I also heard that
the decision to terminate Master's employment was revoked too.
Ip Long is really resourceful. He's even survived this ordeal.
Master's staying in Modes. So he can appear in Le Rouge's fashion show.
I wish it were that easy.
He has an obligation to appear in it. But he has the right not to.
I don't think he'd do something that won't benefit him
just to help me.
Now what? We've already signed the contract.
He may not help me.
But we can ask someone he'll help to talk to him.
Chief...
The company has decided to call off the deal with Gina for now.
Modes has found a new buyer
who has promised that everything can carry on as usual.
They won't interfere with our operation.
Also, I want to apologize to everyone here.
All along, I thought that I was everything to Modes.
My decisions were final. I only thought about myself.
I was wrong.
Modes doesn't just belong to me. Modes belongs to all of you.
Without you guys, Modes wouldn't be her today.
So thank you.
Although I'm staying, what I said this morning still holds.
I hope that even without my leadership,
you'll give the readers something different in the next issue, OK?
OK.
Now get back to work.
Hows it going'? Closet hasn't called yet'?
Not yet.
How was your discussion with Mr Ma?
I told him already.
He knows Closet is interested in buying Modes.
He's put the contract with Gina on hold for the time being.
Closet hasn't called to confirm yet.
If they decide not to buy Modes in the end, what should we do then?
We still have time.
Even though they haven't called yet, we can't be sure they won't call soon.
Anyway I'm confident that Closet will buy Modes.
Come on...
No...
Don't cheat...
She didn't drink...
Sorry I'm late because I had a fitting.
You have to drink since you're late.
The three of you are already drunk?
Listen. If you hadn't resigned,
you would have witnessed a spectacular show today.
What?
We collectively tendered our resignation to our Chairman today.
Resignation.
Was there an earthquake in Modes? What happened? Meg, you're not as drunk.
Tell me what happened.
The company wanted to sell Modes to Gina.
They even wanted to terminate Master's employment. Then...
Then, thanks to me...
Thanks to you? Thanks to me.
Would Danielle and Ada have gone downstairs with me
if I hadn't talked to them?
Not you. They followed me downstairs, not you, OK?
It wasn't because of you, OK? Meg, tell me.
Was it because what I said was so touching that everyone followed me downstairs.
Meg, you saw me wink at them so they'd follow me downstairs, right'?
Tell her.
I don't know. I didn't see it...
Anyway the credit goes to everyone.
If editorial weren't so united,
we wouldn't be celebrating here now.
You two would be crying.
No way. What are you shooting us?
Why are you secretly shooting us?
Hey...
Which news agency do you work for?
This is a live report. You guys are Modes' saviors, right?
So what are you going to do in Modes? Fong-fong, you go first.
Well...I hope I will never get a promotion.
What?
It's nice to be an assistant editor.
You have no ambition at all.
I have more time than you two to get a boyfriend.
I have many admirers.
Meg, what about you?
Do you still want to be the chief editor?
When I first joined Modes, I wanted to.
But now I know the most important thing and what makes me happiest isn't the post
but the people I work with.
Yan, what about you?
You're the Trend Master's apprentice.
What do you want to do?
I want to be brilliant like Chief. I want to be another Trend Master.
Long live, Master.
Vincy.
I need to see you.
Long, we need to discuss this.
If Closet refuses to buy Modes, what should we do?
Trust me. They will call. There will be good news.
Vincy, what's so urgent?
Fan, I'm sorry.
What's the matter?
I recommended you to Daisy because I really wanted to help you.
I didn't expect it would end up like this.
Is there a problem with the fashion show?
Daisy set a condition for using you.
She wants the Trend Master to appear in the fashion show.
At first I thought that since the shows related to Modes, Ip Long wouldn't say no.
I tried to see him these past couple of days
He refused to see me. He avoided me on purpose.
Vincy, don't be so paranoid.
Maybe Master was busy dealing with Gina's acquisition of Modes.
So he didn't have time to see you.
That's what I thought at first. But I talked to Martin today.
I asked him to set up a meeting with Ip Long for me. Do you know what he said?
He told me not to waste my effort.
He said Master was still mad at me for reviving Modes Girl.
He won't take part in any AM-related events.
Don't worry.
I didn't expect any major brands would use me in their shows.
I'll wait for another chance then.
Fan, Ip Long hates me. He doesn't hate you.
Last time he forced Nana to apologize to you in order to help you.
If you'll talk to him, he will help you.
I don't want to make Master do that for me.
I've put in a lot of effort.
I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for you.
If in the end you don't get to appear on the catwalk,
all my effort will be wasted.
Please listen to me just this once, OK?
What do you think of Yen's layout?
At first she told me that she wanted to use them for the next issue.
But there are five blank pages in this issue.
So she gave them to me for consideration. What do you think?
I think her layout is quite good.
But it seems a bit too risky to introduce local designers.
Chief.
Don't mind me. Carry on.
I think we can take this risk.
In the past, we've only promoted major international brands.
Why don't we give a chance to some designers
who have never appeared in our magazine before?
There could be chemistry.
But the designers Yan suggested are either too green or too ordinary.
I think it'll be hard to capture the readers' attention.
It's really hard to find a designer that's worth promoting.
You want to introduce local designers in the next issue?
Yes. But I think their designs don't match our style.
There aren't that many well-known local designers.
The good ones are already well-known.
If we can't find a new designer that's worth introducing,
let's put this idea on hold then.
OK.
Not necessarily.
I know someone who's not a so-called design school graduate or apprentice to a master.
I've seen her clothes before. They're quite suitable for Modes.
You both know her too.
Yan, I just discussed it with Danielle.
We're going to use your layout for the remaining five pages of the next issue.
OK. Have you decided which designer to introduce yet?
We can't pick anyone from the designers you suggested.
We want to get someone else. We're going to introduce you in this column.
Me? Why? I make clothes. But the designs aren't really special.
I can't believe they're good enough to appear in Modes.
No, I saw your clothes when I went to your place last time.
I think the readers will like them.
OK. We don't need to discuss this anymore. It's decided.
Phoebe's coming in the afternoon to shoot the photos.
You go to Yen's home with her and choose the outfits.
If Danielle says they're OK, then ask Phoebe to do the shoot.
OK.
OK. Thank you.
Don't worry so much. This is a great chance.
Let's go to your place now and pick the outfits. Wait here.
I'll deliver the draft to the art department.
Then I'll go to your home with you.
How did they knew I make clothes?
You're up? This is for you.
Thank you.
Where's James and Tim?
They waited all night.
I told them to go home, take a shower and get changed.
Long, we have to think seriously about this.
If they don't call, what should we do tonight?
The only thing I can tell you now is not to think about it...
Fan. No problem. See you later.
No, Long. We really need to think about this
I promised Chairman Ma I'd give him the letter of intent before 9pm.
If I still don't get the call by 8:45pm, you can do whatever you deem fit.
I won't object to it, OK?
OK.
Your clothes are so beautiful. Do you really want to sell them?
I have no choice. I need to make a living.
Without them, I really don't know how I would have survived the past six years.
Who taught you how to make clothes?
My Mom.
After Dad bought me my first copy of Modes,
I really wanted one of the dresses.
Back then I couldn't even pronounce the name of the brand.
I only know it had a five-digit price tag.
That expensive?
Yes. Of course I didn't dare ask them to buy it for me.
But then, in less than a week,
I discovered that my Mom had secretly made that dress for me.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Honestly, the dress she made was really different from the one in the magazine.
But I was still so happy. I put it on right away.
Ever since that issue of Modes,
my parents would tell me to choose a dress from each issue of the magazine.
Then Mom would make it for me.
Every time Mom was making the dress, I would stand next to her.
I started to learn how to choose fabrics,
draw patterns, out cloth, make buttonholes and sew.
But I didn't know I could use the skills to make a living
until my parents passed assay.
Then I began to make clothes and sell them online.
I didn't know what was trendy. I just knew what I liked.
At first lots of customers complained. Gradually there were fewer complaints.
Eventually I even had a group of regular customers
who bought my clothes every month.
Did it ever cross your mind that
your clothes would appear in the magazine?
Of course not. I'm lucky. No, I should say I ran into a nice guy.
Who's the nice guy?
Chief. Otherwise, would Danielle be introducing my clothes in the next issue?
It's because of him.
Are you sure?
Actually, I'm not.
But if my hunch is correct, it's because of him.
Fan.
Chief.
What is it?
Your first show is happening soon. Why aren't you preparing for it?
I may not be able to take part in it,
because the person they want isn't me but you, the Trend Master of Modes.
What do you mean?
Their CEO is putting the contract on hold.
They said that if I want them to fulfill
their part of the contract with me appearing in the show,
I have to convince you to say something on stage at the fashion show.
OK. Why do they think you can persuade me to appear?
I don't know.
Maybe they know that you forced Nana to apologize to me.
So they think you'll help me again.
AM secured the show. Why not talk to Kei Wan-wan directly?
Oh, she referred this job to me.
I don't want to bother her as soon as there's a problem.
I know she knows their CEO well.
Isn't it much simpler for her to talk to them?
If I can solve the problem myself, I don't want to bother her.
It's fine, Chief. I know you have your own principles.
It's your decision whether to appear in the show or not.
I don't want to ask you to do something you don't want to do. I'm go now. Bye.
Fan, this is your first show after leaving Modes.
How could I not support you? Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Bye.
James, you know someone in Le Rouge, right? I want you to check on something for me.
Chief Editor Ip.
Did you tell Fan to come to me?
You want me to appear in Le Rouge's show. So you used Fan.
This is my office.
If you want to make a scene, do it in your editorial department.
If my guess is correct, AM signed a contract with Le Rouge
stipulating that the Trend Master had to attend the show. Am I correct?
You're afraid that I wouldn't agree to go. So you told Fan to persuade me.
Yes. I knew you would say no if I asked you.
I don't want the company to suffer any loss.
So I told Fan to put on the show.
If I hadn't done all that, would you appear in the show?
I'll say no just because you ask me? What kind of logic is that? Why?
What makes you think I would do that?
You would. You definitely would.
If we screw up and get sued for breach of contract
you'd be happy. You would laugh your head off.
OK. Let me tell you,
if you weren't so small-minded and petty, I would definitely say yes.
But now I can assure you that I'm definitely not going to appear in the show.
You can say anything now.
Even if I had asked you myself, you'd still say no to me.
Listen carefully, Ip Long. Modes is a co-presenter of the show.
You're the chief editor. You have an obligation to appear.
I told you clearly just now. I won't appear in the show.
What do you want now? Do you want me to apologize to you?
I'm sorry, Chief Editor Ip. Are you happy now?
Apology accepted.
But whether I will show up will depend on my mood on that day.
Phoebe, I know Yen's clothes aren't a big brand. But trust me.
Her designs are really good.
They're as good as a lot of well-known designers.
I'm sorry, Yan.
It's not that I don't like your clothes. But I have my own principles.
I know. But please make an exception for me.
I promise you'll be really happy with the outcome of these five pages.
That's right, Phoebe.
You told me before that Yan's articles are really well written.
Why don't you make an exception this time?
I promise your makeup and hair will match perfectly.
You won't look a grade lower.
Please.
I really can't make myself do this. Why don't you find another model?
Alan, you understand the situation. Why don't you explain it to them?
I've worked with many brands before. They're very realistic.
The value of a model depends on the brands she represents or shoots for.
A couple of photos may not mean much to you guys.
But to a model, the consequences can be serious.
Look. Why don't we find some other models to shoot the photos, OK?
The final drafts for the next issue are already confirmed
except for these five pages.
If we don't do the shoot today, we'll miss the deadline.
How about this, Phoebe? Let's talk to Danielle.
You want to see me about something?
Phoebe's refusing to wear Yen's clothes. I was hoping you could persuade her.
Phoebe, turn on your phone's speaker please.
I want to tall to everyone.
OK. Chief Editor Ip wants to talk to everyone.
Listen. I understand Phoebe's worries.
I don't want to make her do something she doesn't want to do.
Don't try to talk her into modeling anymore.
I have another candidate in mind already. Yan, are you there?
Yes, Chief. What is it?
Yan, you will model your clothes.
What?
This is final. Don't waste anymore time.
Do you think Yan can really do this?
I'm positive.
The outcome of the photos will be better than having Phoebe model them.
Martin, from now on, I will listen to you. Just go ahead as you deem fit.
OK. We're running out of time. We only have 15 minutes left.
Let's prepare a letter of intent from Closet right away.
We'll show Mr Ma the forged letter for the time being to buy time.
OK.
Relax. You may not have confidence in yourself.
But you must have faith in Trend Master.
I've told you before.
I've never seen Trend Master make a wrong decision
in the five years since he joined Modes.
So you can definitely do this.
Long.
Hello. That's great.
Please send me the letter of intent in the next 'IO minutes. Thank you.
Yay!
Inform Chairman Ma's secretary.
Tell him that I will go see him in ten minutes.
OK.
You two wait for the letter of intent outside.
OK.
Come away with me in the night.
Come away with me and I will write you a song.
Come away with me on a bus.
Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies.
I want to walk with you on a cloudy day.
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high.
So won't you try to come?
Come away with me and we'll kiss on a mountaintop.
Come away with me and I'll...
Don't tell me you just happened to pass by.
Of course not. I was waiting for you.
Congratulations on the sale of Modes.
How did you know?
I know lots of other things too.
I know you secretly contacted your former employer Closet in the States.
I know they promised you that everything would run as usual
after Modes' sale.
They even stalled for a day and a night before giving you a reply. Is that right?
Why do you know so many things?
Yesterday I told Mr Ma I wanted to terminate our acquisition of Modes.
Everything that happened afterwards was just a show.
Closet has already talked to our shareholders in the States.
They have already agreed on the terms.
After Closet buys Modes, they will sell it to Gina in its entirety.
They should be signing the agreement in the States right now.
In other words, Modes will be mine.
