" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 14
Linhai City is currently the most popular spot in the best location,
which includes the Linhai building and Danzi building.
Linhai building is renowned as the city's landmark building,
but the neighbourhood around is a bit too old.
I think we should place our shopfront in the Danzi building.
The operation system is mature, branding match is decent.
It even has high popularity as well.
Are you listening to me?
Grace knew it.
Then?
She wants to quit.
I knew it.
Grace is always like this.
What're we going to do next?
Do we still continue?
Of course.
But Grace already quitted, how are we going to brand it?
I won't let her quit.
I don't care if you can persuade her,
but I still have to let you know.
If we're going to open a shopfront in Danzi building,
it'll be very challenging.
First, they have high standards for branding.
Second, their businesses are unbelievably good.
Basically it's out of slot throughout the year.
I met with the business manager, Mr. Wu before once.
He doesn't seem to be interested about us entering the market.
Got it. I'll follow up with Danzi's.
You take charge of Linhai's.
In case Danzi rejects us,
we still have a backup plan.
Okay.
Qian Qian.
Why I don't see Mr. Li recently?
Get up.
I've asked his soldier brothers,
they said they didn't see him either.
This is so unlike him.
Think about it. During the Ming Sheng Project,
he accompanied you during overtime until late night almost every day.
But why the current An Ka Da Project,
he seems lack of interest in it?
Mr. Li...
He might be...
having his own way to work things out.
We shouldn't be bothered about it.
Oh please, this is never as simple as it sees.
This Li Zhi Cheng is a cunning fox.
Who knows what's in his mind.
There you are, Mr. Li.
Mr. Li? I was just saying...
you are so handsome and attractive.
Qian Qian, you really scared me.
Let me remind you, his followers are all spies of him.
You were talking bad behind his back in the public.
Aren't you afraid that he knows about it?
You're right.
I...
I wasn't talking bad about you.
I said you're handsome, incredibly handsome, the most handsome man.
Did you hear me? Of course you did, right?
Mr. Zhu.
Look.
If I'm not mistaken, you just put on smoky makeup?
You look like you were being punched.
Chen Zheng scolded Cheng Mei Zi badly?
I bet he didn't read the magazine today.
Now he must be feeling like he's on the top of the game.
Cheng Mei Zi must have been mad about getting herself famous,
that's why she participates the competition.
And she was thrown a wet blanket on by this big mouthed Chen Zheng.
This is our chance!
Good, next!
The exhibition time should be lengthened.
Pay attention to the tempo.
Walk faster.
Next.
- My... - Rascal!
Who?
Look what you've done.
Arrogant, conceited person!
Do you even have a brain?
Everyone stops!
Father!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Father, I'm being too careless in this matter.
Now the world knows we did it.
We even messed it up!
Everyone is making fun of us,
waiting to see when will we quit. Do you even know this?
Father, I was actually thinking, if we can take this case,
we can avoid ourselves being labelled as a bluffing marketing company.
Then we can expand our production.
I know this.
But you always tell me, don't give up easily.
But now the problem is,
you just pissed off the daughter of our big customer.
Hi, Miss Cheng.
I'm the vice director of the Zhu Corporation.
I'm Zhu Han Chong. This is my name card.
Under our corporation,
we own a relatively reputable clothing brand, named Xin Bao Rui.
I believed you've heard of it before?
Mr. Zhu, what business do you have with me?
I saw your exclusive interview in the magazine.
Your picture caught my attention.
Our corporation is interested to find a spokesperson for our brand.
My requirements are fresh, bright, pure and classy.
Every of it matches your character and appearance.
You mean?
We'll be investing huge funds on the next issue of the magazine.
At the time, your pictures will fill each and every streets of Linhai city.
Where're you going?
I plan to pay a visit to Danzi building myself.
Is there any problem?
Somebody from Linhai business management department...
are coming for research afterwards.
They requested to meet our company design director.
Then tell Lin Qian to meet with them.
It's considered a proper official reception too.
But Lin Qian is now taking part in the bidding of An Ka Da project.
For sure she will ask what's the purpose of Linhai's visit.
How am I supposed to answer that?
She didn't even know that we're going to do branding.
I think it's fine to tell her that we're going to do branding.
But don't brief her about the details.
Just tell her, we'll definitely do branding in the future.
Strategic shopfront is hard to find. We should start with that first.
Let's go.
Let's act separately.
- Lin Qian. - That's quite nice.
- Are you free now? - Why?
I need to tell you something. Keep busy ahead.
- Keep busy, I'm off then. - Okay.
Linhai building's business director is paying a visit to our company.
They requested to meet you.
Me?
Why do they want to meet me?
Actually they're here for research.
Aida is going to seize a shopfront at there...
and kick start branding.
I don't mean now. We're getting ready for the future.
Linhai building is located in the high end commercial area.
The shopfront isn't always available.
You know that the mind master behind a brand is the designer.
Designer is the soul behind the brand.
That's why they want to meet you.
Okay.
Miss Cheng?
Miss Cheng!
Long time no see. Do you still remember me?
You learn music, right?
Actually I'm interested in listening to music too.
If you are free we can talk over this?
Right?
Miss Cheng, I'm here to apologize.
Excuse me, I don't know you.
We've met twice.
Difficult the first time, easy the second right?
What do you want?
This time I'm here to sincerely apologise to you.
What I said in the show last time, you should know,
it's just for the show effect.
If you're still angry about that,
then I'm very sorry about it.
Alright. Apology accepted. You may leave now.
Really? Then we're still friends, right?
Why're you hopping into my car?
Miss Cheng, if we are friends,
then you wouldn't mind sending me home, right?
Don't you have your own car?
My car...
My father needs a ride, so the driver has gone to take him.
It's hard to believe Si Mei Qi CEO can act such shamelessly...
and not even afraid to be laughed at.
Well that's not entirely the case.
I don't act do that to anyone.
Let's go. I'll buy you a meal.
Please get off the car. I don't want any meal.
After we first met,
you became the network celebrity.
If you wish to continue your fame,
you'll need my help,
because no one is better than I do in publicity stunt.
I saw the clothing samples in the factory,
all of your clothes are mainly functional clothing.
What Linhai needs is women's fashion.
It's such a coincidence.
Our staff Lin Qian graduated from University of York.
She took major in fashion design.
Beside this project, do you still have any other achievements?
Mr. Song, about this...
It's regrettable that...
our main company, Wen Da is currently undergoing a project.
Lin Qian's design sketches are all with them now.
We still focus on the designer's past experience.
It alright. As you can see,
Lin Qian usually has a habit of jotting down her ideas in sketches.
They're all original designs!
People are most passionate during the university times.
But after graduated for a few years,
I rarely see anyone still keeping it up.
We designers will have some personal habits...
to always draft all the ideas that came to our minds.
But, the design of yours won't necessary attract the public.
What the public need to see?
What they read are fashion magazines.
What they see is the current trend of the foreign countries.
The fastest and easiest way...
Copy the big brands.
That's smart.
But, Mr. Song. I'm a designer, not a copycat.
I'm also not the transport worker for branding.
To me, copy is plagiarism.
We should...
I think it's best we remain...
the original intention of our product design.
I still have task to be completed.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I'm afraid I have to leave.
If you'll excuse me.
What?
Mr. Song.
About our cooperation...
We'll talk about this later.
I still have matters to be done. I'll be leaving now.
- Hello. - Hello, did you make an appointment?
I'm Aida's CEO, Li Zhi Cheng. Please pass this message to Mr. Wu...
that Aida is very sincere to cooperate.
Aright, please hold on a moment.
Hi, front desk here.
The CEO from Aida is here, he wishes to meet with Mr. Wu.
Okay. One moment please.
I'm sorry, Mr. Li. Mr. Wu is now engaged in some matter.
It's alright. I can wait.
If you didn't make an appointment, you can't meet with Mr. Wu.
Or you may leave your contact, I'll help you to arrange an appointment.
Alright, thank you.
- This is my name card. - Alright.
Hey, Monkey. Help me to check a car.
Don't ask anymore. I'll send photos to you.
Go and check it.
But it might be a fake car plate number.
He installed a GPS in my car.
You need to run a major check up on my car,
To see if there's anything else.
You said about buying me a meal. This is where you meant?
Yes. Are you not getting used to it?
No. I like it very much.
Just that my father wouldn't allow me to eat all these.
If I were to treat you high classy meal,
wouldn't that be too old fashioned?
Are you trying to use trick?
If she doesn't understand the world, then bring her around it.
If she'd been through all the hardships in life,
bring her for a merry go round.
That's not really right.
Because you are the kind that's other-worldly.
You seem unattached to this world.
So I represent the human kind on earth...
to bring you back to this earth.
What're you thinking?
When I was in college, my father hired a nursemaid.
I escaped from her watch one day just to eat supper.
In the end, even my friends were scolded by my father too.
Ever since that day, no one is willing to play with me.
Then you should be really thankful of me.
Because I can make up for the regret of your youth.
Tonight's supper is the first move.
I'm sorry that our flight delayed. We made you wait for so long.
No, it's okay.
I'm glad you both can come.
It's the first time we meet such earnest designer like you.
When we changed uniforms before this,
there was never any designer who took us into part of their researches.
This is necessary. Since you all will be wearing it,
of course I need some good advices from you.
- What would you both like to drink? - It's alright, thank you.
We brought ourselves ginger and brown sugar soup.
Asking you both to meet up at this hour,
it's a little too harsh, isn't it?
No, it's our profession custom.
As stewardess, we'll definitely suffer for that few days every month.
This is considered as our occupational habit.
Then tell me,
any suggestions or ideas you have towards the new uniform?
For instance, the fabric or the pattern.
Where's it?
Isn't it here?
I'm so careless.
Don't ever show me this kind of design standard again!
It'll only shame Mei Si Qi.
I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. We'll change the design now.
Just stay here.
Everyone brainstorms now and pours out all ideas.
None?
It's alright, I'll do the talking.
What's An Ka Da's requirement towards uniform?
It has to be attractive.
But look at your design. Old-fashioned and rigid.
Which part of it is attractive?
We took reference from other foreign airlines' samples.
Reference doesn't mean you can copy their ideas.
Do foreign women have the same body shapes like Chinese?
Your design lacks of Chinese women's figure lines.
I hope everyone can be serious about it.
Father, why're you here?
You've made a blunder to me.
I've to think of ways to solve it.
Father, I've apologised to Cheng Feng's daughter.
Don't worry.
Even if we had bad impression, I can fix it with my design.
From today onwards, I'll keep an eye on the design department.
I've seen it just now.
I've never seen you being so serious about something.
Father,
this An Ka Da project will definitely belong to me.
Now Linhai is out of the game.
So we need think of ways to conquer the Danzi building.
We still need help from Mr. Wu.
We can just visit him repeatedly.
He won't be rejecting us every time, right?
On top of our repeatedly visits,
we don't know whether is he willing to meet us.
It's not that we can't meet Mr. Wu,
but he doesn't want to meet us.
We still have to come out with a solution.
Danzi building is the business centre...
which has the most passenger flow around the city.
If our brand can enter there...
and be side by side with those high end brands,
our brand image will rise within a short period of time.
I have a suggestion.
What is it?
Grace.
I found out that critical thinking and organisation's rigorous questioning...
actually have the same effect as the answer itself.
How did you find here?
Hurry, this way please.
An Ka Da Project is actually coveted by others.
If Aida successfully bids it,
our status in Linhai City, or even the fashion industry...
will have a drastic change.
Forty thousand orders, to be completed in a month.
If it's not completed within the period stated in the contract,
Aida will face huge indemnity,
or even the risk of closing down.
I can't let H Corporation be involved in it.
I can't let you take the risk with Aida too.
I didn't mean to hide from you.
While we were discussing without a perfect proposal,
I would like to try a few more times.
I've already asked Yan Zhi to do survey there.
Once it's confirmed, we'll share our plan to you.
It's alright.
You can inform me earlier if you face similar problems again.
We can discuss together.
Alright. This case has turned over completely.
I apologise for my behaviour towards you before this.
Don't take it to heart.
How's it, Mr. Ning?
Does the poster look great?
It does.
Seems like Han Chong really puts effort in it this time.
Come in.
Chairman.
Wei Kai, you're here? Hurry and sit.
This season's treasury report is already out.
I've passed it to Han Jing,
and I came by to visit you.
How's your company doing?
You mean the An Ka Da Project?
Han Chong does everything by himself.
He's enthusiastic in working.
He's following up the project.
You came this far to visit me.
You don't just drop by, right?
You can pour it all out.
Actually, I wish to talk to you...
about our company's branding.
When I knew you wanted to start up individual brand,
I was a little worried.
Any branding needs the right time, place and person.
But Aida has just started up.
Are you sure you're well-prepared for this?
Actually, doing branding is also my elder brother's wish.
I'll consider your words.
Please come back to our team again.
You mentioned about your elder brother.
I need to remind you,
it's not that I don't support you starting up individual brand,
but I really don't hope you repeat your brother's mistake.
I think it takes time to build a brand.
The preparation before this was not enough,
and it was in a rush.
Do you have any plans?
First, a shop.
We need a shopfront in the prime location to support our brand.
Then, we need a publicity stunt to promote our brand.
I think, right now,
we can look for international brands and cooperate with famous designers...
to produce joint products,
just like the cooperation between Ai Qi and Lang Wen.
Not bad.
Regarding which famous designer to look for,
I already have someone in mind.
As for the shopfront,
I heard that Danzi building will have an empty space to let.
We can go for it.
But we need a modal...
because Aida is going after it as well.
From what I know, they have high requirements on brands.
If Aida is setting up its own brand,
it'll only be a small and medium brand.
Danzi won't never accept you.
That's why Aida needs your help.
I'll approve the budget,
but it won't be a big amount.
- But... - But I need to tell you that...
not everything can only be solved by money.
You mean this USB, right?
Let me see.
Not this one.
This is the one I spoiled in Yunnan.
The one I asked you to find is on the table.
You table is so messy and filled with stuff.
I don't have the time.
Wait till I'm free.
Qian Qian, there's one thing I have to report to you.
What is it? Look at you.
I'm serious. You see...
Yesterday I went out for work and I saw Mr. Li.
Guess who was he with?
Who is it?
He was having meal with Grace!
This is what you called serious?
They're friends. It's normal to have meal together.
Friends?
They're meeting each other too often.
They spend time together for five days in a week.
Friends?
Maybe they need to discuss about work.
Can you not think about all these?
Think about your work.
Anyway, I've reported such important news to you.
It depends on you whether you believe it or not.
I'm leaving now. Be home early.
Goodbye.
When love comes,
I can feel your gentle.
I don't know if it's impulsive or I'm being moved.
When you lower your head,
your heart beats...
will make me out of words.
I believe...
you understand it as well.
Your appearance...
is the prettiest touching moment.
Are you alright?
I believe...
I'm fine.
Long after...
The coffee beans are spilled. What should I do?
I'm fine. I can replace it with the instant coffee.
I can't.
I...
I'll clean it.
He left for meeting?
Thank you.
Hey, Cindy.
Help me to check the recent schedule of Mr. Wu from Danzi.
I hope to get another better chance to talk to him about the Danzi's shop.
Alright, make it as soon as possible.
Grace.
What? You're here to talk about Danzi's shop as well?
Since when H Corporation plans to have a shop?
Whatever H Corporation plans is none of your business, right?
I just want to remind you.
You don't get any benefit by doing so.
You better not shame H Corporation.
Nice shot!
No way. I'm out of practice.
What's wrong?
Mr. Cheng, you're still that great.
In fact, I feel that your skills are getting better.
Not at all.
Here. Let's play another shot.
Mr. Chen.
Don't act shamelessly. We have to respect the game.
- Let's go for this shot. - Yes, you're right.
You're ready to go.
That was so great!
It's just like the international standard.
I'm starting to get the feeling now.
- Hello. - Sister, let me tell you.
Just say it slowly. Don't panic.
I've found out that...
Mr. Wu is one of the member of Tibetan antelope protection society.
He's related with our charity fund.
Recently, they're organising a prize giving award dinner.
Mr. Wu is one of the nominees.
That's great. Contact them, I'm going to attend the dinner.
Alright. No problem!
Mr. Cheng, recently I saw the news that...
your company has added few airline routes.
Your business is getting more and more busy,
and having lesser time to practice, right?
I had to get involved in the company business.
But still I won't stop exercising.
- Right? - That's right.
Mr. Cheng, you sound like all these are so easy for you.
I still remember the first time I took flight for a business trip.
I was confused about which airline to choose.
- In the end, I chose yours. - Why?
Safe, comfortable and professional.
Also...
Look, I specially applied for a lifetime platinum card.
Thank you for supporting An Ka Da.
That's very kind of you.
That's because your leadership makes every customer feel at ease.
- You're professional. - Not at all.
Chen Zheng, come over here.
Mr. Cheng, before this,
my terrible son...
had misunderstanding with your daughter.
So I bring him here today to apologise to you.
I hope that you're broad minded...
and don't take it to your heart.
Uncle Cheng, I didn't know that she's your daughter.
I'm sorry.
I'm sincere to apologise today.
I'm sorry.
Can you be more sincere?
Uncle Cheng, I'm sorry. It's my fault.
Drink some water.
It's fine. Youngsters like to argue.
- It's fine. - That's right.
Besides, Si Mei Qi actually is now...
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
- Here, wipe your mouth. - No, thanks.
Actually, I would like to say...
recently, our company is...
Since we're here for the game, then let's focus on it.
We can talk about the business later on.
Alright, sure.
- Alright, let's go. - Alright.
Father, I can't stand this anymore.
Why should we bow to him because of this one business?
My heart aches seeing it.
Can we not shame ourselves in front of him?
What? Is this shameful to you?
Don't you know those days when I just started my business,
I shamed myself to earn every single business?
Son, you're a grown-up now.
Why're you not having any crisis consciousness?
Let me tell you.
if Ning Wei Kai or Li Zhi Cheng...
is stronger than you one day,
then they can easily have you on their feet.
What's important now is to grab every single chance.
I bowed down to beg someone for this project today,
do you think it's only for myself?
But father, I feel ashamed when I see that.
Ashamed?
Let me tell you,
in for a penny, in for a pound.
Profit is a businessman's priority.
If you let go this profit,
then it'll be the biggest shame for us.
Do you understand?
I wasn't aware of it.
But now I do, father.
Dear passengers, we have Eastroc Super Drink,
Coke, orange juice and tea.
What would you like?
Matching the fairy with blue colour makes it more comfortable.
Why don't you say that after wearing it,
you look fairer and your legs aren't that short anymore?
How dare you!
Isn't this tie a little too big?
It's too big.
I'm not a baby.
But it looks like a dudou after I wore it.
I'll change it.
Is there anywhere else you're uncomfortable with?
Miss Qian.
This dress is too small.
If I didn't squeeze a bit, the skirt almost cracked.
It already burst!
Don't worry, not every flight attendants are as fat as you.
This is just a sample, it doesn't have to fit you.
Mr. Wu, your words were fascinating just now.
Not at all.
I still need thank you for helping Sha Long.
You're welcome. It's within my capacity.
You even trained the...
anti-pouching unit to protect the Tibetan antelopes.
That was so amazing.
Mr. Wu, actually I need a favour from you.
Aida really hopes to open a shopfront in Danzi building.
We can talk about the details in the future.
I'm impressed by both of you...
but please understand my difficulty.
Danzi has rigid guidelines towards new brand's entering.
Right now, Aida is still not up to the standard yet.
