" Our Glamorous Time "
Episode 3
Are you insane? How could you say that?
I told you I am sorry. I told you we will...
Hello?
Yes.
Lin Qian, he is looking for trouble, can't you tell from his tone?
Get up.
Hello, Mo Chen.
Brother, why are you still here?
You wish to see me leave so badly?
What have you been doing last night?
You didn't sleep the whole night?
No, we have a shop to run.
So, we have been working on the business of the shop.
- We are doing very well.... - This is mad!
We were yelled at the whole night!
We are trying to solve this crisis here.
Lin Qian!
Last time, you we're drenched. This time, you have eye bags on you.
You are wasting your life away, okay?
I have to go now.
Goodbye, Mo Chen.
Brother, my head is still spinning and I am not sober yet.
So, if I say something wrong later,
- please don't be mad. - Lin Qian.
Sit down.
Get to the point.
Do you know Louis Vuitton?
Of course I do.
Galliano and my favourite, Simons are both under Louis Vuitton.
Their branch in America is looking for assistant designers.
I sent your drafts to their director.
They wish to talk to you in person.
The probability of you getting a job there...
is well over 80 percent.
Really?
They are waiting for my email for reply.
You have ten minutes to consider this offer.
Ten minutes?
What am I supposed to do?
Do you even need to think it through?
Of course I do.
I know I can learn a lot of stuffs there,
and I can witness the best fashion designs in the world,
- but... - But isn't this your dream all along?
Brother, stop pushing me!
I won't push you, I won't force you to make the decision.
Good, I am glad you won't.
You have another nine minutes.
No need to rush.
Brother, you are so mean!
I've known him for years.
For me,
he is someone very special.
He helped a lot of people.
He has a great reputation.
He is the most caring and and kindest person I know.
But who would want to harm him?
So, you don't believe...
his death was a suicide or an accident?
Time's up.
You missed the best chance you have in your entire life.
Brother, that is not how I think.
If I were a fresh graduate, I will definitely go with you.
But I have my own little shop now.
It's rough and earns little money, but I can design what I like.
It's rough and earns little money?
Why would you do it then?
You are wasting your talents and your life.
Following someone as an assistant is not a waste of talents and time?
And what I couldn't bear to leave behind...
is what's most important for a designer.
The most important thing for a designer?
What is that?
Freedom.
Come with me to America.
I must find out the truth behind your brother's death.
It's very important to me.
I don't believe that a man as discipline as he is...
will become a drunk-driver.
I agree to your point.
If we must investigate,
we must start from those around him.
Did you run a check on me?
I don't easily trust anyone.
Without investigating,
I wouldn't have known they will cause trouble at Wen Da,
neither would you get the warning.
What did you find out?
Who will gain the most...
from Li Zhi Qian's death?
You ask me to come here despite the downpour.
Why can't we speak over the phone?
A rain can be helpful.
It makes a lot of things clearer.
Li Zhi Cheng came out of nowhere from Ai Da.
He is on his last leg. Yet, he just won't die.
This detail will soon be exposed.
The competition of fashion industry in Linhai City is intense.
Wen Da once had total control over the market.
With Li Zhi Qian gone,
the market share of Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi have sky-rocketed.
They have even surpassed Wen Da.
The suicide incident that day,
I am sure they are behind it.
Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi may seem to have...
rivalry in the public's eyes,
but I found out that Mr. Ning and Mr. Chen...
are secretly drinking together over a discussion.
I even overheard their plan for Wen Da.
That's why I sent the message to warn you.
I will save Wen Da.
No matter what it takes.
Even if I am the last man standing,
I will fight to the very last breath.
If your brother can hear what you just said,
I am sure he will be glad.
He had great ambitions for Wen Da.
You are the brother he was proud of, the Wolf of Southern-West.
He mentioned more than once that...
he would wait for you to come back.
He looked forward to work with you, fighting side-by-side with you.
What is your next move?
I am...
I will tell you another time.
Brother.
You are finally back.
Let's go home.
I am not going!
Qian.
Do you have any idea how important this chance is?
Do you know how many strings I have to pull to get you this chance?
If you won't listen to me this time,
your life will be none of my business from this moment on.
Brother, I appreciate the chance you are giving me.
But you can't just threaten me!
You have been bossing me around since we were kids.
It's enough that you boss my life, don't stick your nose in my career.
- I am your big brother. - I am your little sister.
Why can't you respect my decision?
Life is full of choices.
The choice you make will decide...
the life you will have from now on.
I hope you can choose wisely.
I won't go. I don't want to go.
I won't force you.
I am leaving the ticket to you.
Have a second thought about it.
Brother!
Qian Qian, I think your brother has a point.
I do think this flight ticket will decide...
the life you will have in the future.
Think about it. It's Louis Vuitton.
One of the three biggest fashion companies in the world.
A tonne of designer worked their bones out to get in there.
Think about it.
How was your life in the army?
No one has news about you, except Zhi Qian.
All these years,
how did he treat Zhi Qian?
Father always wanted Zhi Qian to inherit his company.
He gave Zhi Qian a lot of pressure.
They always had disagreements regarding the management model.
Pull over up front. I not going back for now.
Where are you going?
There is something I need to do.
Brother?
Father.
Zhi Cheng still wouldn't come home.
Let him be.
He knows what he is doing.
Administration of Quality Supervision..
conducted sample tests on 30 clothing companies in Linhai City.
The main issue Wen Da is having...
is that some of the children's clothing shipped for Europe...
are too prone to shrinking.
Carcinogenic are found in another small company, not us.
This is the report headline from the administration.
Fashion company in Linhai City such as Wen Da, Zai Ke and Shu Feng...
did not pass the test for national production standards...
in terms of fabric carcinogenic, methane content and shrinkage ratio.
But the medias only focus on two phrases.
Wen Da and the fabric carcinogenic.
We have already clarified on Wei Bo.
But that approach proved to be ineffective.
Our stock price started plummeting one hour after the news got out.
It doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
The data for opening quotation will be very unpleasant.
I heard that Chairman Li...
asked his youngest son, Li Zhi Cheng to come back.
He has returned to Linhai City a few days ago.
As for this matter,
I wonder what is his take on this.
But the problem we are facing is professional in nature.
This might be too much, even for him.
So, he chose to hide himself.
He leaves us to clean up the mess.
That's right.
- I think... - Yan Zhi, don't say anything.
Go on.
You used my key-card yesterday for this?
Your office is rather far from them. It's quiet here.
Ever since you came to our company, our operation standard...
has become militarized.
I have something to tell you.
They are one of us. Just say it.
Why didn't you let me explain it earlier?
It's enough that there is a commotion,
the higher-ups are now questioning your abilities.
When will you show yourself?
Now is not the time yet.
We need to lure the snake out of its den.
What is your take on the fabric incident?
Since the founding of Wen Da, we never had any problem...
with the shrinkage ratio of product fabrics.
And within the next 24 hours after the test results were out,
the medias exposed it after exaggerated the details.
We are too sloppy this time.
Sloppy?
Don't you think the timings are too good to be a coincidence?
You mean someone is behind all these?
Mr. Gu, you wanted to see me,
is this about something urgent?
I have some questions for you.
Do you know why the children's clothings have shrinking problems?
Mr. Gu, shouldn't you ask someone at the administration for this?
We had a new supplier this time.
No one notified the administration.
The design director has some objections with the supplier we had.
He insisted to have a new supplier.
It has nothing to do with me.
Zhang Hao ordered this fabric solution.
Only the new supplier has the newer stocks.
He inspected this supplier for six months.
Do you remember when did you meet the supplier?
I remember, it's 17th.
How was the weather that day?
It's a sunny day.
Is the lamp too warm? Have some Eastroc.
Mr. Gu, do you have iced drinks?
Sure, I will get you another one.
Thank you.
Here.
Mr. Zhang, when is your birthday?
15th of March.
I heard you are married.
When is your anniversary?
27th of May.
Now tell me, when did you meet the supplier?
The supplier? I remember the date.
It was 17th.
And the weather?
It was raining.
Don't you think what Mr. Gu did...
were a little too much?
I thought Chairman Li asked his second son to come back.
He is silent with all the problems out there?
It's easier to let someone else do you job.
How do you know...
Mr. Gu is not just trying to act tough?
Zhang Hao is clearly hiding something from us.
Now, we need to find out who is behind him.
Think about it. If Wen Da falls,
who will benefit the most?
Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi.
They have been vulturing from Wen Da.
But we know who the enemies are now.
Shouldn't you come out from the dark now?
The time is not right yet.
Ya Yi, I will trim this wig too, okay?
Sure, whatever you want.
It's your money after all.
- Hello? - Are you Miss Lin Qian?
Yes.
This is the Binhe Street police department .
Days ago, there was fighting at the Wen Da production area.
We might need your help for the investigation.
- Okay, I will be right there. - Okay.
- Officer. - We didn't pick a fight with him.
We didn't do anything, officer.
We are all law-abiding citizens.
That kid over there saw us as a pain in the neck.
He beat my brothers up!
Look at my arm, I can't even lift it.
- Look at my arm. - Look at him.
Officer, I am Lin Qian.
Hello. Thank you for coming.
We need you to verify some of the statements.
I went to Wen Da to discuss a deal.
I met these men when I came out.
I don't know them at all.
They shattered my windows and punctured my tires.
They had knives.
They pointed the knives at me and threatened to cut my face.
It's was terrifying.
But luckily, the security manager from Wen Da rescued me.
If he hadn't been there, there is no knowing what could happen.
- He also sent me home. - If what you said is true,
that was not a fighting but a rescue?
Of course it wasn't a fighting. I am just a girl,
I am no match for them.
Officer, you can't just listen to her.
They know each other, you can't trust her words.
That's nonsense!
I don't know him at all!
- That's enough! - How could you say that!
- Is he your boyfriend? - No.
How can he possibly be my boyfriend?
You don't know him before?
- No. - Officer!
I saw it!
They were holding hands, how is that not a couple?
Enough!
He has a witness, what do you have?
I am...
But, officer.
Look at my arm! Is this is not proof?
Look, my arm was all right.
But look at it now! I can't even lift it.
I can't raise it pass my shoulder! Don't hit me!
It looks like I just healed your wound.
So...
Thank you for saving me.
You are welcome. It's my duty as a man of the country.
So,
you can actually handle the situation without me.
Indeed.
You are not a modest person.
Li Zhi Cheng.
- That is my name. - You are Li Zhi Cheng?
Right, I added you on We Chat, but your name was a dash.
I didn't know what your name is.
I remember now. It's Li Zhi Cheng.
According to the test results,
Wen Da, Zai Ke and Shu Feng didn't pass the test for...
We must join hands.
Otherwise, there is no other way out.
I will be giving the orders this time.
Just follow my orders.
They will cooperate with the authority's investigation...
to solve the issues with quality control...
and give the consumers an explanation.
I have an idea. GC will never take these...
faulty children's clothes.
Perhaps we can sell them...
to those retailers at the market place.
With that done, we can recover some cash...
- and take the pressure off cash flow. - No!
The medias already known about these clothes.
If they knew that we sold these products into the market,
it might cause even more pressure from the public voice.
We all know that the products are not carcinogenic.
The problem is about the shrinkage ratio.
The quality is still far better than those on the market place.
Yes.
The pressure to operate is too great.
This is to take the pressure off of us.
If you have better idea, we are open to suggestions.
If there is no way out,
you can get Young Master Li to solve this crisis.
First of all, my opinion is about...
" Yan Zhi, do not object "
I haven't given it much thought. Go on.
All of our suggestions have their own merits.
But we need to think about the angle to tackle this problem.
I think this is...
Okay, let's have a show of hands.
Those who agree with Mr. Zhang the supervisor,
please raise you hands up.
Since most of you agreed,
to ensure Wen Da's survival,
let's go with this solution, agreed?
- Yes. - Okay.
Mr. Zhang,
you will be in charge of this.
- Okay? - Sure.
A round of applause for him.
Please, you flatter me. Mr. Xue,
I will get it done by tonight.
- Is that clear? - Yes.
- Commence mission. - Yes.
Wait, why didn't you let me object just now?
If the medias got a hold of this news,
Wen Da will be done for good,
not even a chance to turn the tide around.
Don't worry, I know what to do.
Wait, you have a plan in mind?
So, you still won't show yourself?
Don't worry about it, you will know soon enough.
I will know soon enough.
This way, please.
Grace, Mr. Chen is here.
What a surprise. Take this outside.
How may I help you?
I only have 30 minutes, I have a meeting to attend.
Okay, I want to have a clarification notice on H Magazine.
At the same time, put on an advertisement for our product.
I thought online marketing is your first choice.
Why the sudden change of interest to the paper media?
What are these?
These are the fabric Wen Da compensated.
Their employee made an unauthorized deal with me.
But something was wrong with the fabrics.
But Wen Da was nice enough.
They gave me these fabrics as compensation.
I went online and looked at your shop.
You pre-sold Autumn Series 217 items.
You shipped out 100 of them.
Do these fabrics really worth as much?
Something is better than nothing.
Wen Da seems to be in some kind of trouble lately.
Wen Da was exposed for...
the excessive carcinogenic in the clothings.
I wish to cut off all ties.
Wen Da is in trouble. Isn't that what you wanted?
You can't put it that way.
We are all in the fashion industry of Linhai City, right?
So, you came here...
to come up with a plan to save Wen Da...
and save the whole fashion industry of Linhai City?
I do want to help.
But this is beyond me.
The fabrics from Wen Da contain carcinogenic.
This is the cold-hard facts.
Wen Da's crisis isn't that serious.
Right, Wen Da used cotton as material which shrinks.
They mass produced before pre-shrinking the fabrics.
And there is the focus of the media...
that caused misinformation to the public. It's just an accident.
Is it an accident?
All the accidents are caused with an intention.
All the accidents that ever happened...
are tied to personal gains.
You mean someone is framing Wen Da?
This is how business goes.
Business is like a battlefield.
Business is much terrifying than the battlefield.
On the field, you know what your enemies look like.
But in business,
you won't even know who ended you.
It's all written on the test result.
The shrinkage ratio didn't pass the test.
But thanks to the exaggeration from online medias,
Wen Da is now related to the carcinogenic.
So, the news from the medias,
is it really a coincidence that they focus on that phrase?
Yes, Mr. Chen.
You are an expert on the Internet.
What is your opinion on this matter?
You make it sound like I am the mastermind behind the plot.
You make it sound like you are guilty.
Not at all. I just told you.
Si Mei Qi is a company in Linhai City as well.
If Wen Da's name is stained, Si Mei Qi will be involved too.
Go to their Weibo and read the comment.
Within the thousands of hate comments, there are dozens of them about us.
So, I came here today to ask for your enlightenment.
How do we help Wen Da?
If you can't save it, how can I?
How so?
The word 'carcinogenic' is enough for a powder keg.
And now it's on the children's clothings.
Wen Da will be done for good this time.
This can't be it. Why is it so quiet here?
Right, could he be lying to us?
It is here.
Hurry up, prepare to shoot.
- Hello? - How was it, Great Reporter Wu?
Was my information true?
This can be a big piece of news.
- Thank you. - I will send the location...
of the dealing to your phone.
Next, I leave it to your talents.
It's show time.
If you are running Wen Da,
when in face of such crisis,
how would you deal with it?
One, this will never happen to my company.
Two, if I were using cotton that will easily shrink,
I will reserve extra length for shrinking before mass production.
Three, if this kind of accident is happening,
it means they lack professionals.
Their management is a total disarray.
Mr. Chen, you said what you need to.
I asked what I wanted.
I am busy, I really have to go now.
Grace.
You can't be that busy.
After all, I am considered one of you major clients.
Can't you deal the advertisement with me?
But if this is about advertisement, there is no need for a great owner...
of a great company to come in person and deal with a paper media.
I know, you came here not for the advertisement.
Just get to the point.
What's going on?
Li Zhi Cheng? Why are you here?
I am glad you know me.
In the name of Li Zhong Ming, the chairman of Wen Da,
I order you to take the convoy back to the factory.
Zhi Cheng, don't take this wrongly.
We agreed on this during the meeting.
Shut it! Monkey, do it!
Zhi Cheng?
Take the shot now!
Follow my bike and head back to the factory.
I thought you wanted headline scoop.
Follow my car.
Go.
Every second counts in digital age.
Mr. Chen, shouldn't you lecture your henchmen?
Being one step behind can't be good.
This could be interesting.
- Where is he going? - How would I know?
I am not the parasite living in the mind of Wen Da's chairman.
You didn't direct this show?
Mr. Ning directed the play last time.
I thought you made this happen this time.
So after all the trouble,
Li Zhi Cheng is behind this?
Not bad.
Make it simple.
Under these circumstances,
what will you do?
Burn everything.
I will never let anything with my logo...
be ruined by something as stupid as shrinkage issues.
I won't let them get into the market.
Rather than leave them in the storeroom,
I should just burn everything.
I am Li Zhi Cheng.
I am the son of Li Zhong Ming, Wen Da's chairman.
At this very moment, I have something to tell everyone.
Recently, a quality test result was presented to the public.
From what I see, this is a good thing.
Consumers of China are the customers that we value.
The report mentioned that children's clothing from Wen Da are faulty.
However, the fabrics does not contain carcinogenic.
What didn't pass was the shrinkage ratio.
Children's clothings from Wen Da will never cause cancer.
But the report does mention the name of Wen Da.
Mo Chen, look at this.
My father once told me that...
the fight for quality is a pursuit of perfection.
- If the clothes are safe... - This man...
- Isn't he gorgeous? - Wen Da was indeed in trouble.
But no matter how desperate we are, we will never cut any corners.
Therefore, as per my father's order,
all of these faulty clothings...
shall be burned.
You can make a good team with Wen Da's new boss.
Some of the staffs in Wen Da do think that...
the shrinking ratio that failed the test...
won't affect the wearing.
We may sell these to the retailers with low price.
It can ease the financial pressure and save us from bankruptcy.
Yes, Wen Da is in need of money.
But if these faulty children's clothing get into the market,
it means that Wen Da will face the same problem in the future.
Wen Da was founded 26 years ago.
We believe all products that failed to meet the quality are junks.
It was, it is and it will be our belief.
Nothing will change that.
This is such a remarkable show!
Grace, I am busy. I must go now.
Don't go, you've been waiting for so long,
we can talk after the show ended.
Life is like a show, acting is what we need the most.
He is not putting up an act.
Look, he is burning the clothings.
But they cost money too.
So, you are siding with Wen Da?
I am siding with my conscience.
Burning cause pollution and it's wasteful.
If these clothing won't bring any harm but shrinking,
I won't burn them.
I will choose to make donation and charity.
There are so many children in this world...
that never had any new clothings.
- Brother, you are right. Impressive. - You are so right.
He is amazing.
Fine, back to the topic.
Are you coming with me?
I will go, you two go on.
Uncle Xue.
Zhi Cheng, you are finally here.
Welcome back.
I must be senile.
How could I make that decision?
It would have been catastrophic!
The faulty products are dealt with.
But Wen Da suffered a great blow.
Someone must take on the responsibility.
