[Our Glamorous Time]
[Episode 2]
But I'm very curious about why Grace came today.
My purpose isn't important.
The important thing is that you two
are enemies in front of people but actually allies behind the scene
that would surprised everybody.
Grace, sit.
It should be surprised all the young girls.
That's right.
Previously Wenda's giving so much pressure,
now Li Zhi Qian finally died,
no wonder two of you are having a good time here.
Congratulations to you two.
Cheers.
It's hard for us to get together. We are usually all so busy.
Exactly. The troika of Lin Hai fashion industry.
Hard to find time to get together.
Troika.
What a shame that Li Zhi Qian is not here anymore.
Do you two both think his death was an accident?
Such unhappy incident
Let's not talk about it.
One less competitor
You two must be happy.
Although Li Zhi Qian is our competitor,
he's also my friend.
My good friend died. How could I be happy?
You two really treat him as a good friend?
Grace, is there any misunderstanding about us two?
It's just...
his death was so abrupt, without any signs.
Deep down I can't accept this.
I think since it's a rare opportunity for us to get together, let's not talk about unhappy things.
Okay?
Come.
The subsidiary corporations under Wenda are all having negative numbers.
The finance of Wenda is very messy lately.
The bank stopped giving loans.
We want to dismiss some staff, but we can't afford that.
I'll figure out the money.
This subsidiary company Aida, its performance seems to be stable.
Aida is a small company that your brother built when he was still around.
It's small so no one really cared within Wenda.
Also,
There is a delegation group of foreign company HCG is in Lin Hai tomorrow.
Wenda can't show any of this mess.
I know.
Don't let anyone know about my return,
including my father and my sister.
But the president Li and Jin Yuan are waiting for you.
Wenda's crisis is not shown
it's not on the exterior but inside the company.
If I don't show my face, I'd see something more than what's already shown.
The conditions for acquisition from Yokota Corporation looks very appealing
However Ichiro Yokota cares only about out assembly line,
manufacture capacity and staff but not the brand.
If we agree to the acquisition, it means Wenda is gone.
Rather being bought by someone who only remains a name,
why don't we focus on bringing up the best design team in the world
to build our own brand.
Don't you know that if you were this self-willed
will lead to the thousand of staff of Wenda out for starvation.
Please don't worry
I take all the consequences on my own.
Jin Yuan you are back.
President Li has been waiting for you for a while.
I'll be there now,
Dad I'm back.
The shareholder meeting wasn't such a big deal.
Those vulgar people were trying to make a scene.
But I suppressed it.
Don't worry everything is okay.
Wenda Group Li Jin Yuan had a shocking action during the shareholders meeting.
She broke the voting box in front of everyone. It was such a surprising manner of a socialite.
Dad, that was for...
Good. You did well
Very good.
[Text message]
Can you tell me about this chaperone
when did you meet him?
Guess.
You grew up together?
Do you like him? I'll introduce you two.
Too handsome I can't handle that.
Brother, you didn't say why you came.
Hello brother.
I'm back on a business trip and wanted to visit you.
Why is your life so miserable right now?
Am I miserable?
I'm not miserable.
Brother, can you not criticize me as soon as you see me？
You only see me once a year and you criticize me every time.
Now you know how hard it is to be a entrepreneur?
Come back to the states with me. It's not too late.
I'm experiencing all the challenges and struggles that very start up entrepreneur is experiencing.
What you should do the most
is to go back to college.
Then go to the best
I don't want to copy your route.
You do that yourself. I have my own plans.
For example?
For example, I want to be the Chinese Christian Dior
I want to build a Chinese high fashion brand.
Yes.
Please don't insult Christian Dior.
is Christian Dior a little shaddy online store like yours?
Christian Dior insisted to have his own store.
Don't despise my online store.
Our performance is very stable. All pre-sales are sold out all the time.
Every customer gives us five star ratings.
And our store has a great handful of fans.
Yeah. Brother she's right.
The fans she's talking about is those who from secondary and or third cities and towns,
and care about few bucks of
freeshipping right?
Costumers doesn't have a separation of gentle or simple.
Of course.
But business is business.
When your customer is a group of people like that
your designed will be affected by that.
But if you are one of those top brand designer
your customers are the people with the highest taste in the world.
They will help you
to make your design better.
My new client is a high fashion brand designer.
And he's looking for assistant designer.
After I finished my business here there couple of days, you come back to the states with me
for an interview.
That's it.
Are you hungry? Anything you wanna eat?
Anything,
I'm not going.
My schedule is full.
I have a lot of business to deal with.
So I don't have time to dine with you. If you are done here you can go now.
According to your investigation, your brother was drowned to death.
The autopsy shows high dosage of alcohol.
We tend to think of it as an accident.
The decedent was drowned because of DUI.
My brother never drank.
But the vehicle was completely normal.
There was no poison in Li Zhiqian's body either.
Only alcohol.
Could it be possible that someone forced him to drink?
That is unlikely. If someone forced him to drink,
he should have traces of struggling while he was conscious.
If someone took control of him, there would be other traces.
But the autopsy shows none of those.
Is there leads from my brother's cell phone?
We found his phone.
But it was broken because it was soaked.
We are testing it.
Is there any security footage?
The crime scene was too isolated,
so there weren't any security cameras.
But other security footages shows that he was driving fine.
When I got into trouble as a kid,
he always covered for me.
He was also the one cleaning up after me.
He was the brave one, but very cautious.
He is also very disciplined.
Also had high self-esteem.
I understand how you feel.
But, you guys probably haven't seen each other for a long time.
People change.
If he changed, he wouldn't ended up like this.
I hope the police can look further into it. I don't believe that his death was an accident.
Ok.
Thanks.
The person you call is not available right now. Please try again later.
Sorry, the subscriber y....
(Ding Fei)
(Hanging up)
(Ya Yi)
Hello.
Hello, I have to tell you some bad news.
The comments are out.
They are all negative!
Our rating has been dropping like crazy.
Were you able to get a hold of your friends?
Nope.
No way.
Not trying to jinx it, but...
what if your friend lied to us?
Is there a possibility that...we just ship out the good like how it supposed to be?
Ship them out?
No no. If we send them out, we have no time to make new ones.
Let me tell you, some customers are as clumsy as me.
When they receive clothes and rate them, they can't tell there were problems with them.
Then it's all good.
No no. This batch of clothes loses color easily.
They are not even up to the standard.
Hear me out, I just did the math,
this series had pre-sold 217 pieces, 100 of those have been sent out.
If we compensate them, it would be ¥55,900,00.
But we don't have enough money to turnover.
We can't do that. If we set them get into the market,
that equals ruining our own reputation.
Mr. Chen, I've asked someone,
Li Zhichen is not here. He went to the police station.
Shame.
If he is here, I can meet him.
Let's get it over with. Go get the Ace.
Ok.
Please, it's your time to shine.
Li Zhichen, when are you going to be here?
I'm here already. You don't have to come out.
I will be responsible for this.
The situation is quite intense right now. Are you sure you can handle it?
This drama must have a director.
And I would love to ruin the show.
-Are you ready? -Yeah.
These two people are suspicious.
What's their problem?
They just wrote a script and they are looking at it.
They didn't even memorize it.
I will have Ram take care of it.
They only played small roles. The main characters hasn't shown yet.
They were waiting for the right time.
Where are the observation group?
Today is an important day for the fashion industry in Linghai City.
The observation group from the diplomacy was invited by the department of commerce
to visit Linghai City and to learn the investment trends of the major companies.
Behind me is the first stop for the observation group.
It is the most important fashion company of our city, Xin Baorui Corp.
It seems that both sides have reach an agreement for further collaboration.
Boss Chen, the observation group has left Xin Baorui and it's approaching here.
It's time for the old man to take his position. Got it.
Hello?
Boss Chen, y...you have to keep me safe.
Don't worry, I don't want anyone to die.
Ok. Then I will do whatever I can.
Mister, could you please tell me where Manager Ding's office?
-Over there, on the fifth floor. Fifth floor. -Thank you.
What was that?
Nothing, nothing, boss Chen.
Ok.
Hello, is Ding Fei, the manager here?
Manager Ding? Ding Fei? He just left the company.
He left?
No way. He messed up my order. I am asking for return.
Order?
Us, Wenda, never take small orders like yours.
This is probably some private gig Ding Fei did behind our back.
The conflict between you guys has nothing to do with Wenda.
You should go find him.
If it doesn't work, sue him.
Someone is here.
-Keep watching. I am going down and see what's up. -Ok.
Ok.
Hello, Manager Ding, you picked up finally.
What happened? My phone almost exploded.
I heard that you left your job.
Yeah. Wenda is in trouble now.
I had to find a way out.
But the goods you sent me are have problems.
I...I sent you your clothes.
But the material is not the kind from my sample.
Wenda is a mess right now.
You should be happy that you even got your orders.
I don't care about Wenda. You took my order, you have to be responsible for it.
Tell me, who do I talk to then?
Let me tell you, you are not the only case here. Goodbye!
Hello?
Hello! You bastard!
What are you doing here?
None of your business.
Stop.
Do you work here?
Do you?
Yes.
Great.
I need to find your manager, Ding Fei.
He tricked me. Tell me what should I do.
Tell me, what did he do to you?
Ok, I'm not afraid to tell you. Your manager Ding,
took my order as Wenda. We agreed on the material.
What kind of fabric I want was written on our contract.
And he changed the fabric.
Not only did he denies the responsibility, he also left the job.
Who is going to compensate me?
You must've got it wrong. Wenda didn't have to make this kind of dirty money.
Why would I lie to you?
You come and look yourself. Come!
This is my sample.
This is the final product from Wenda.
I wanted 120 thread count, but the final product is 160 thread count.
Isn't 160 is more expensive than 120?
Maybe the warehouse didn't have it in stock, so they used better fabric, which shouldn't be a loss.
Did you just started in this field?
Not long.
That sounds right. Let me tell you,
fabric with higher thread count is softer and has texture,
but wrinkles easily compare to lower thread count.
Look, I made summer clothes.
If they are all 160 thread count,
wound't the fabric stick on the skin when the person is sweating?
And most importantly, fades! Look at it, it fades badly!
It's not the more expensive the better. It needs to fit!
Who cares about the fabric he used.
You know a lot about fabrics.
I'm ok. I just like it.
Fabric specialist?
Fabric specialists only works at fabric companies.
I am a designer, who happens to know a lot about fabric.
The fabric is the soul of fashion design. You know?
Forget it, you wouldn't get it anyway. I must stop talking.
Let's not going back to the office. Let's go to H Fashion Corp.
All right.
How much was the money on your contract?
50 thousand.
But, but these fabric
will not be in use anymore, right?
If you can give me these rolls of fabric, I can lower it to 20 thousand.
Deal.
Add me on Wechat, and I will transfer you the money.
You have the say? You are not the boss.
But, I do have some say.
You give me the money?
That's right.
Then your bass would agree to give me the fabric?
Of course.
I think you should be a good person.
Give me back my rights!
We refuse forced dismissal!
-We refuse forced dismissal! -Everyone look! Someone is on the rooftop! Someone is going to jump!
Security! Is there any security?
Quick! There is something going on on the rooftop!
Security?
Eh, transfer me the money first!
Don't jump! Don't jump.
It's Shen!
I said I wanted the scroll to be as obvious as possible.
The words are too small to be photographed! Wasting all these fabric.
Should make you a shroud out of it.
I am sorry, boss Chen. It won't happen again.
Who knew.
-This guy... You know him?
I ran into him by the elevator. He was on the phone.
He was saying something like...
have boss Chen promise his safety.
He's not going to jump, is he?
Monkey, look into the identities of the dismissals and find out who is on the rooftop.
The coffee is really good here. Even the way they brew it is very professional.
Grace's employees are so talented.
Even when they make coffee.
I learned it from you, boss Ning.
Why would I know anything about making coffee?
I was talking about
being talented.
Look, you not only know how to be a boss, but also know how to be a director.
It seems like you are talking in codes today.
I can't even guess what you meant.
It looks like we are doing more than just having coffee today.
Of course, I invited you over
to drink coffee,
and to witness the drama you directed.
Boss Chen, the observation group is here.
Bring the props for the climax of the show.
Ok.
Let me project the show from my phone.
Look, isn't it old Shen?
Gosh, why is he doing this?
What is he doing?
I worked my whole life in Wenda. My wife, too.
She is just like me, old employees of Wenda.
Because of the accident in the factory, she became a vegetable.
And she has been in bed for 8 years.
And she still needs to rely on drugs to stay alive.
Her severance pay is still not been issued.
They are killing my family on purpose!
I don't have to do this for Wenda!
Yeah, don't do this!
Wenda's bosses, get out!
Get out! Get out!
Old man!
-Old man! There is nothing can't be discussed! -Stop it.
Don't come any closer.
Old man, don't stand up there, it's dangerous.
I...I...
I am just like you. I am also a victim of Wenda.
I opened an online store to sell some clothes I designed.
I finally found a manufacturer, and I was tricked by Wenda.
Miss, this has nothing to do with you.
I know it has nothing to do with me, but I understand you.
Don't stand there, come down!
Stop! I will jump for real if you come any closer.
You think problems will be solved if you jump for real?
The cheap air mattress down there is not going to save you.
Just come down!
What if he really jumps?
Shen Guoqiang! Did you lose your mind?
You don't want our family anymore?
Why are you doing this?
Was I not good to you?
You do this behind my back, how are you going to make it up to me?
Didn't he say something about his wife being a vegetable?
I am not jumping for real.
I just want some money.
You bastard! You are spineless!
Is it worth it? Did you go gamble again?
Are you insane?
Who gave you this idea?
Come down and stop embarrassing us, workers!
I...
Don't move!
Help! Help! I don't want to die!
Li Zhicheng, pick up! Pick Up!
Stop moving! I won't let go!
Help! Help! Help!
You are so heavy!
Pull him up! Pull him up!
Pull him up!
Mam! Mam!
Oh my freaking god. I don't want to die.
Thank you. Thank you for saving my life!
Keep an eye on him and make sure he behaves.
Yanzhi, come with me.
What?
He's your leader?
Didn't you...?
Yup. He is the head of security.
Never seen the head security this intense.
Such a great show.
He's finally safe. Someone is definitely behind all these.
I have to go.
Boss Ning, no, director Ning.
You directed such a good show,
and you wouldn't have a Q&A with an audience?
What do you mean? How could I be the director?
The day which you had dessert and chatt with Chen Zheng,
were you discussing this story?
You must have misunderstood.
I was talking about random things with him. Now as dramatic as you said.
What did Wenda do to you?
It's not about what Wenda did to me. In this market,
Wenda, our Xin Baorui, and Si Meiqi are competitors.
Competitions are normal.
Normal competitions
became something this despicable!
Someone could die for this "normal competition".
Or did you just not know what was going on?
Grace, I respect you,
but you need to watch your mouth. I am an entrepreneur.
I care about my reputations very much.
Don make false accusations against me.
Why are you so agitated?
The more agitated you are, the more suspicious you are.
I think you look more agitated.
You are trying to tell me, from now on.
You will be on Wenda's side?
You tell me.
Okay.
Then let's call it for a day now.
I have some errands to do, sorry I can't play anymore.
Bye.
Boss Chen, this is bad.
What happened?
They dragged Shen Guoqiang back to their place.
After all these tricks, they finally turned this into a drama.
Go back.
Boss Chen, you go first, I will finish this and catch up.
All the friends who have fought with Wenda.
Now everyone knows what a difficult situation Wenda is in.
We are going to fire someone, and we really don't want to this.
About the compensation money, you can all rest assured.
We will give you every penny you deserve.
If you have any concerns about the compensation.
Or any complaints.
By law, you can go ask for labor arbitration.
But I wish you won't believe in these gossips.
And joke about your own lives.
I am Gu Yanzhi, the vice president of Wenda.
I hope in this moment of life or death.
I hope we can all understand each other.
I will be leaving you guys with this.
Wenda will not just leave you high and dry.
Dear colleagues.
Things turned this way is truly out of our expectations.
Thanks for this gentleman, we don't have any people dying during this.
I think you can trust Boss Gu's words.
And let's just call it a day, okay?
Let's all go.
There's a delegation group I need to take care of.
Sorry.
Ma Feng, where is that girl?
She just walked out of the building.
Bro, is this the girl who stopped Shen Guoqiang on his way?
Get the gears.
What are you doing?
Get her!
Who are you people?
What we want, is for you to look in the mirror.
And think of us.
I m glad you didn't walk away that far, I have something to tell you.
Stop talking, save me!
Kid, mind your own business. Better weigh yourself before you come here.
Someone just told me I m very heavy.
Beat him up!
I find out about that order, Wenda didn't make that deal with you.
It was Ding Fei who signed the deal breaking the protocol.
Can you stop talking and focus on saving me?
You are playing with fire!
But you helped Wenda before.
So all the indemnity clause are still valid.
Then that's a deal.
I will send back all the disqualified clothes back to Wenda.
Give me the address, I will send you the fabrics.
Don't come near me, or I will...
Hear my advice, you better get your brothers in the hospital fast.
Or they will be disabled for the rest of their life.
My car!
Take it to the repair shop.
We will pay for the repairment in advance, and I will ask Boss Chen for this.
Let' go, I will give you a ride, you can't get a cab here.
Let me get your Wechat, it's easier to get the delivery done.
The workers are finally settled down.
This is the excel for the compensation we paid.
This incident.
Didn't humiliated us that much in front of the deligation group.
But before they came here.
They already made up their mind to work with Xin Baorui.
It's only a matter of politeness that they came here.
So, when do you plan on your official public appearance?
The time is not here yet.
The phone number I asked you to check, did you find out about it?
That number belonged to Louis, the Head editor of fashion company H.
Did we work with them before?
She had a close relationship with your brother.
She is quite a big deal in fashion business.
How did you get her number?
And that is her private number.
Before the workers threaten to jump off the building.
She warmed me with a text.
How did she know about this?
Now you have to keep this is a secret, but you will find out very soon.
You try to get me curious again?
Old spot tomorrow noon?
I will see you there.
You are never late.
I m waiting here for a very long time now.
The dead is CEO of Wenda company, Li Zhiqian.
We will be reporting more details next.
The text to warn me about the worker's incident.
That was you?
You found about me so fast.
Why are you helping me?
This is where your big brother died.
What's your relationship with him?
I m sorry for your trouble.
Hello? I m sorry our shop is...
Are you stupid? I just said...
I said I m sorry.
Hello? Yes, yes.
