Episode 6.
This order will be used in a tropical area,
which the rainfall capacity will be 2000 to 3000 mm.
It will ask our product to be waterproof and breathable.
How much would it be for one outfit?
I estimate it to be 214 yuan.
No, it has to be under 150.
And it has to be better in terms of waterproof.
Your plan can probably beat other companies, but not Xin Baorui.
Boss Li, you are probably not too familiar with the fashion industry.
The cost and quality will in direct ratio.
What we are asked for is a lot.
150 yuan is too little for making it waterproof and breathable.
It as to be, or Aida will not come back to life.
This is a war about having Aida survive.
You are the pioneer.
Pioneers would never say
the word "impossible", no matter how hard it is.
-I'm... -I think you wouldn't say that.
This is our workspace for designers.
Yayi, Yayi.
I know that every designer has his or her own habits,
so I didn't do much to the space.
If you need anything, please tell me.
Warm yourself up in here.
Boss Gu,
what I need are all on this list. Thank you.
I need a green tailing plant!
A cushion and a box of...
-Don't ask for them today. -But I want...
Ask for them in a couple of days.
Ok, I will ask for them in a couple of days.
No.
Little QIan Qian!
I'm starving!
Look, everyone left.
Let's not working overtime the first day we started.
Let's go eat! I'm hungry!
I am not. You should go eat. I need to finish something.
What wouldn't work! Eating alone sucks.
It has to be two people. Come on!
You go! I will have a tons of work to do!
I'm not eating. You go eat.
If you said so.
Then I'm leaving.
Or, I will bring you some takeout?
-It's ok. -Alright.
-Get home safe. I'm going. -Ok.
Boss Li! I'm sorry, it was my natural reaction.
Your natural reaction can't help you.
You should stab from below when you turn around.
It would be more discreet. Your enemy can dodge you if you stab upwards.
Why are you still here?
I spent money on me, so of course I should finish the project as soon as I can.
Does staying up late make you work for efficiently?
You like staying up?
Nobody does.
It's just there would be more inspirations at night.
That's not a good habit.
Why are you still here?
Sir, your takeout is here.
Just put it here.
I am curious,
why would a boss like you stay up? To keep your employee company?
Or to supervise?
Or because of guilt?
Your takeout.
It's for you. You have to finish it. I will check on it tomorrow.
Cool!
Boss Li. You are here.
Go home and take a half day off.
No no no. I though of a way!
I thought of something!
It can lower the cost,
and promise the quality of the uniform.
You want to hear it?
Tell me about it.
I was talking to my friends online.
She became a commercial interior designer after she graduated.
She is recently working with a client who owns chain drug store.
She said that she never put make up on,
and she all of sudden became interested in make up.
She also said that...let me finish. It has a lot to do with us.
We usually used one kind of sunscreen to cover our whole face.
But the truth is that our forehead and our noses require the sunscreen with higher SPF.
And the sink around our eyes are more sensitive,
and there are special sunscreens for them. And there are also sunscreens specialized for faces and necks.
Her client does this kind of sunscreen combo dish.
You still don't get it?
It makes me think of the uniform we are making.
The traditional way is to use one kind of material for the whole outfit.
We can patch different materials to make one outfit.
In important parts,
we will use waterproof and breathable fabric.
In less important parts, we can use cheaper fabric.
This way, the wearing experience of this uniform hasn't been changed much,
but our cost will be much lower.
What do you think?
You drew this?
It was based on you. Isn't it handsome?
This plan sounds good. Let's try it out.
But we have two problems.
If I'm not wrong, one of them has something to do with the stitching method.
You are right. Using different fabrics
will create seams.
And seams can cause leakage.
So we will need good rubber-pressing technology.
The other one has something to do with the high-functioning fabric.
So he know something about it.
Why are you stopping? Keep going.
You...you are right.
I called my friend in Europ.
There is a small factory in Belgium，
who specialize in making this kind of waterproof and breathable fabric,
which satisfies our needs in every way.
I think we should contact them soon.
You are talking about Tex from Belgium?
How did you know?
Didn't you say something about me knowing nothing in the fashion industry?
Yeah, you didn't know anything.
Did you install cameras in this room?
Stop guess. I just saw their name in the invitation of a mixer.
So you are saying that they were at the mixer?
Does it have to be Tex from Belgium?
How about the fabrics whin China?
The manufacturers here will do...
but the data they provide are usually exaggerated.
I think it would be risky to trust them given our situation.
You go deal with the rubber pressing technology. Leave finding materials to me.
Go home now.
Come to a mixer with me tonight. Go home and dress up.
Tonight?
Little Qian Qian, I waited for you until past midnight!
You didn't even reply to my message.
I bought you breakf....
Good morning, boss. Did I bother you guys?
I am going right now.
You guys are taking a day off today. Bring Lin Qian back.
But I just got here!
Boss, don't worry.
I will take good care of Lin Qian.
I will pick you up at 6 on the dot
Don't work too hard, boss.
You are so cute!
Bye, boss!
(invitation)
This is the annual mixer hosted by Vip Shop.
Many fabric manufacturers from here and international will attend.
What's the urgency of calling me here?
Is there anything we can't talk about in the mixer?
Li zhicheng from Aida is also trying to get this project.
You should know, shouldn't you?
With their ability, Aida will only be in a supporting role.
We shouldn't be careless.
I took as such an effort to beat Wenda.
We can't have them coming back to life.
Before the incident of your brother,
Youa was looking for a business partner.
350 thousand pieces within 20 dyas.
Wenda was the only one who can finish this order.
We have to celebrate it in Chinese style.
But right before you brother sign the agreement with Youa,
it happened.
And then Xin Baoruia and Si Meiqi took the order together
while no one was looking.
And the result was
Xin Baorui became the sole supplier for Youa.
It was with large quantity and high profit,
which let Xin Baorui became the top one in Linhai.
And Si Meiqi expanded with their e-commerce sales..
I will get back to them.
WIth Li Zhicheng's style,
he will revenge us.
As long as he has the ability to.
Don forget, if we let Li Zhicheng be,
he will be aggressive to us,
once Aida becomes something big.
So you are saying that we need to
kill it before it gets big.
My gut feeling is correct.
Ning Weikai and Chen Zheng
have everything to do with my brother's death.
It's just that I am entirely sure
about what roles they play in this whole thing,
which I will need to find out.

Boss Chen.
-Eat something. -I'm good.
Since we are already here, let's enjoy ourselves.
It's so boring here.
In this mixer,
Vip Shop will publish the new plan of global fashion trading.
It is very important to our company.
So you should be here to help us.
Hi, you are early.
Catch up with you later.
Jack!
Grace! Hi!
-Long time no see! -Long time no see.
Thank you.
You look great.
Thank you.
-Grace. -Elena!
Let me introduce you. This is the Ukrainian supermodel, Miss Elena.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Cheers! -Grace!
We meet again.
Boss Ning.
-Hello. -We had such a lovely conversation last time. I was thinking about getting coffee with you again.
I thought you wouldn't want to see me again.
Let's.
Who wouldn't want to see Grace again?
I only wished that I met her sooner.
Boss Chen, where were you hiding? Why are you being so lowkey?
This one is...
This is Mr Fujino from Songjian.
Pleasure to meet you.
Songjian is really famous with their waterproof fabric.
You are overpraising us.
Mr Fujino's Chinese is very good!
Si Meiqi has a project like that. We should discuss it later.
What's hurry, boss Chen?
I invited Mr. Fujino under someone else's command.
They are already talking about collaborating.
We need to wait for our turns, don't we?
Who are you helping this time?
You will know later.
Leave your jacket in the car.
Who is this awesome aid you are talking about?
I will introduce you later.
You look like you are familiar with this.
I used to attend many networking events when I was in school,
but I was not very into it.
But I can pretend to.
I am not used to it. I was serving.
Ser...serving what?
It's not the time for this discussion.
Lin Qian, I have to do something over there.
Where is my brother?
I didn't see him.
Lin Qian!
Boss Gu.
Let me introduce you guys.
She is our company's new designer, Lin Qian.
Hello.
Hello. I am Li Zhicheng's little sister, Li Jinyuan.
He never mentioned me?
Ok. He never thought of me as his sister anyways.
I'm sorry, I have to do something. I will be back.
Ok, do your thing.
I'm going to the restroom.
You, too?
Cheers.
My friend is here.
Excuse us.
You are finally here.
Let me introduce. This is Boss Li from Aida.
This is Mr. Fujino.
-Hello. -Hello.
Boss Li, you are such a phenomenon in Linhai these days.
I just did what I had to do.
You are just been humble.
Grace told me that
you are very interested in the waterproof fabric from Songjian.
Songjian's waterproof fabric has a great reputation out there. Of course I would be interested.
You made a correct decision.
Waterproof fabric from Songjian
is the best in Asia.
It's also been ranked pretty high globally.
Mr. Fujino, will you have time tomorrow?
I have some questions for you.
No problem. Just call me.
Ok. I wish you guys have a good collaboration.
What a great conversation they are having.
It looks like Li Zhichen has to get this Japanese guy.
I will have him experience
losing something that he thought he definitely was going to get.
How do you know that Xin Baorui will let you have him?
What do you mean? You are fighting me over this?
This project from Mingsheng,
Xin Baorui and Si Meiqi are the biggest competitors.
We've been going aginst Li Zhicheng together.
I almost had the illusion of us being allies.
Things change depending on the situation.
So you are saying that
we can't avoid a battle with each other.
You should be focus on
Li Zhicheng.
My mission is done. It's all you now.
Hello. I need a favor from you.
You will introduce the top waterproof fabric supplier to me
in front of everyone in the mixer.
Our audiences will notice.
You want to distract them and...
He is the dealer of Tex, Hugh Warner.
Your mission tonight is to find Mr. Warner.
Talk to him and impress him.
Excuse me.
Are you Mr. Warner from Tex Company?
I am.
And you are?
Your Chinese is very good.
My name is Lin Qian. I am the designer of Aida.
Nice to meet you.
Is there something you want to ask?
I do want to talk to you about something.
It's a bit loud here. Can we go somewhere quiet?
Of course. Please.
Miss, are you alone?
The thing about alcohol is that if you are drinking alone, it's called pounding.
If it's two people, that's called tasting.
I'm sorry. I am drinking soda water.
What a shame.
That's very hurtful.
You will get used to it.
You are getting better at roasting people nowadays. Most people can't take it.
Boss Chen...
Sorry, boss Fu, I'm taking my date.
My last name is Zhu!
Who told you to come to interrupt me? I was having fun roasting him.
You like being mean to people? Why don't you being mean to me?
I am emotionally stronger than him.
Where is she?
Don't know if that sidekick of yours is having a good conversation with Warner or not.
She is not my sidekick. She is Aida's designer, Lin Qian.
What's your designer's name?
Lin Qian.
I'm sorry, I'ver never heard of this name before.
Do you need more resource? I can get you some.
No need. She can burst out great energy that doesn't match with her look.
Miss Lin, I will have to think about your pitch.
Since our X100 series
has yet in the Chinese market.
I know, that is why Aida wants to be the first Chinese company to use X100.
But I've heard that Wenda,
which is the parent company of Aida, is not doing well.
If X100 were to go in the Chinese market,
we would hope that the company we will be working with has great abilities and trustworthy.
Would you understand us, Miss Lin?
I am not worrying about the energy of a young designer,
but where she uses her energy.
Let's pretend that I didn't say anything. I just realized that you are super stubborn and confident.
Where did this confidence come from?
I am sorry.
Mr. Warner, is this the first time you came to China?
Even though our product is not on the Chinese market,
I've been here many times.
What kind of changes do you think there are every time you are here?
Of course. Everyone is surprised by the seed of China evolves.
What China is today is nothing like the first time I came here.
Yes. So the Chinese market also changes all the time.
As the first company that works with international companies in Linhai,
Wenda used to be very powerful.
Even though the company is going through some difficulties, but it's still very significant.
So Mr. Warner, could you please reconsider working with Aida?
Miss Lin, it's been fun talking to you.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Warner, sorry for taking up so much of your time. I look forward to working with you.
Thank you. I look forward to working with you as well.
-See you next time. -Until next time.
Qian.
Brother.
Where is Li Zhicheng? Why is he leaving you alone here?
Boss Li is busy. I am just walking around.
I am actually still regretting not having you on our designing team.
I am actually...
Boss Li.
Boss Li. We finally met.
Boss Ning from Xin Baorui.
Lin Qian, you have something to discuss with boss Ning.
I will leave you be then. I will be over there.
You don't seem friendly at all.
You must be joking. I am not only just not friendly to you.
I know. Sorry for making you wait.
I will be there soon.
I'm sorry I'm sorry! Sorry!
You are...Grace.
You are?
I am Aida's new designer, Lin Qian.
Happy to meet you here.
Lin Qian.
I just saw you on the news.
What did it say?
Your legend, of course.
It column said that before you are the senior editor,
you stayed outside someone's building for a week,
in order to have the powerful someone to help with your column. You worked very hard and is super professional.
We really look up to you. You are the idol of us career women.
No no no. So...did the post said
why did the person agree to help me?
The truth was not that I stay outside his building for a week.
It was because
that I got the evidence of him cheating on his wife.
So don't believe in those exaggerated writings.
The truths are usually boring and dark.
Good to know.
Oh right, how's your conversation with Warner?
We had a great one.
You are...the aid boss Li was talking about?
It's just a small favor.
Happy to meet you.
You are so upset.
Is it because that you can't see hope in Mingsheng's project?
You are quite calm. You must be confident then.
I never look down on any opponent.
I know that Mingsheng's project means everything to you and Aida.
Speaking of opponent, isn't Xin Baorui's biggest opponent Si Meiqi?
Si Meiqi is not scary.
Just like lions would never be afraid of dogs.
But a crazy fly will bother a lion big time.
You are saying that Aida is a fly,
but a fly only go after something stink.
Xin Baorui has its own problems, which you are right about.
To be honest, everything you did after you came back to Linhai,
has had me respected you.
For example, burning clothes, which you made a show out of,
did impress me.
But what impressed me the most,
is that you gave up on Wenda on purpose.
Using Aida as a sham to start over.
Your judgment and courage make me think of the escaping method in Military Science of Sun Zi,
escape like a cicada losing its shell.
But if I were to run Aida,
I would be try my best to get Mingsheng's project.
People usually suggest not to take risks,
but some risks are worth taking,
because it might be the only hope.
But risks are like dangerous routes.
There will be animals that kill people en route.
I think you are taking it too serious.
It's not something to kill people over.
I thought I just said that
hostility doesn't exist between us.
I think hostility and hatred
are two different things.
Hatred?
Since the day you betray my brother, Li Zhiqian.
I actually look up to you.
You kept Wenda running all by yourself
until Li Zhicheng gets back.
You are not bad either. Bully.
You also pay one of Wenda's employee to pretend to commit suicide. That's not something a normal person would do.
I am not denying things like this in front of you.
But everyone for himself.
Business is business. We are still old school mates in private.
Lin Qian!
Boss Li.
How did it go with Tex?
It went pretty well. We schedule a meeting tomorrow to discuss it in detail.
I thought of a saying.
It's something you always say, isn't it? "Three months can change your whole life."
Can we talk about something new?
Why would I say that to you?
Wait for me.
I was trying to say that "females are as great as males".
Should I feel happy with your compliment?
Boss Li.
Seeing is better than hearing. I finally get to meet you.
Hello, boss Chen.
Hello.
Boss Chen passed by our factory before, but he didn't come in, or else you would have met him.
How could it be that unofficial when it's meeting your older brother?
Boss Chen is taking advantage of my little sister in front of me.
I wouldn't dare. I was only complimenting.
I am sorry. I have to go.
Stop talking to guys like that.
Now you care you me.
You don't let me worry about business, then don't get into my private business.
Jinyuan. Don't be like that.
I really hate the way you talk to me!
What is this about?
Go after her.
I really hate the way you talk to me.
Are you coming, pretty lady?
What? You are afraid to ride with me?
I didn't drink.
Who said I am afraid?
Let me bring you to a fun place.
What fun place?
You will see.
Grace.
You are leaving in such a hurry. I have something to ask you.
I heard that you met the CEO of Xin Baorui.
So?
I was curious what you guys could possibly talk about.
Saying nice things about you, of course.
Are you sure those were nice things you said?
Why would I bad mouth about you?
You are really scary sometimes.
Do you think it is appropriate to
treat your savior like this?
Savior?
Are you sure you weren't behind that drama?
I don't know what you are talking about.
I actually thought it was weird that day.
Why did Kevin showed up out of nowhere and got violent with me?
The weirder thing was that you showed up
at the same time as well.
You saved me and made a show out of it.
And then I talked to Kevin.
Of course, it was exactly how I predicted.
Xin Baorui said that you told
other companies to not hire me.
Whoever hires me will become the enemy of H Corp.
That's why I got impulsive and went to you.
You seem like you enjoying being a director.
No wonder.
It looks like you found out about it.
Good to have you as an enemy.
Boss Ning, if you want to switch career and become a director,
you can tell me and I will introduce you tons of producers.
Maybe they will give you some working opportunities.
I will see you.
The way you get aggressive,
is very attractive to me.
But you are not attractive to me.
Boss Li.
You go home first. Get home safe.
Come here.
Why are you following me?
I am worrying about you, so I followed you.
Is there something going on?
I am ok. I want to take a walk by myself.
If there is anything going on, you can tell me.
Why are you taking off your shoes?
I didn't know you were going to walk this far and I've been following.
Also, I am not used to high heels. My feet hurt.
Go sit over there.
You are not gonna keep walking?
I just realized that you are pretty tall.
It's blistered.
Drive the car to Jiangbing Ave.
In the mixer today,
boss Gu introduced your little sister to me.
And then I got to know that you have a sister.
I actually have an older brother. He is awesome.
He is abroad right now.
I know that he cares about me.
But he likes to get into my business when I was a kid.
He was very strict.
I had my own dream to go after.
I don't want to live under protection all the time.
I don't want him to involve with my work either.
Whenever he says he is coming to visit me,
I would be really scared...
Even though I don't know what kind of person your brother is,
I think he is right.
Because you are also the older brother?
Yes.
I understand him.
I think he just doesn't know
how to love you.
We are here.
This is my house.
Exactly.
This is the fun play you were talking about?
There are many fun plances.
I will bring you to all of them.
But it's late today.
You should get some rest. Or else many people will worry about you.
I never thought you would be such a gentleman.
It means that
I was deeply misunderstood by you.
