[Episode 11]
Then, let's wish for a long collaboration between Captain Lin and I.
♫ You turn your head and the sun sets, ♫
♫ Your smile is in the center of the picture. ♫
♫ I don't know whether my tears are smiles. ♫
I'm sorry.
It was me that didn't catch you well.
♫ I believe...if you still don't understand, ♫
♫ your appearance has moved me deeply. ♫
♫ I believe... ♫
Good morning.
♫ a long time from now, ♫
♫ we'll be together till we grown old. ♫
You know?
Right now, you're Aida's greatest asset.
- Good morning, Xiao Pang. - Good morning.
Good morning, Lin Qian. Awesome!
- What? - There's a line waiting for a date with Pangzi.
- What's with that? - A fan.
I've only completed one design project.
I scanned to the news this morning on the way to work. I discovered something.
There were so many reports about the damage to our emergency clothing. Isn't that great?
- Really? - Of course.
Oh my God! You mean we're on the news?!
I am a hot topic?
Hello, I'm the reporter, Yayi, interviewing Lin Qian about her current feelings.
Right now, I...I want to thank my father and my mother. I want to thank...my
my great sister, Yayi.
I think our hard work wasn't wasted. I also want to thank...
Yes, but now there are too many eyes; be a little more low key. Low-key.
My feelings are simply too difficult to express. I'm too excited.
Here, drink some water. I know. But I really think
that everything is very different, compared to when we had our own online shop.
Of course it's not the same. We we just did was a big deal.
But, the results on the competitive bidding for the Ming Sheng Group project haven't been released yet, right?
You..you're overthinking it.
This is a done deal. Don't put more pressure on yourself.
I'm just pointing out that for such a big project, I can't worry enough about it.
Good morning, President Li.
President Li, you've come in so early. Your skin looks great.
Wait for me.
♫ Dawn hasn't broken. ♫
♫ The stars can't sleep. ♫
♫ Looking at the fireworks blurs my sight. ♫
♫ and I'm yearning.while I wait for you ♫
♫ The lamps dim ♫
♫ The moment of smile ♫
♫ We are like the white keys ♫
♫ Who can stay silent in this world? ♫
Is there any news from Ming Sheng group?
We got the bid.
That's great!
Congratulations.
- Xiao Lin Qian? - What?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
When you and President Li just met each other, what was that awkwardness about?
- Something happen with you two... - What are you saying?
Where was it awkward? It was just the normal meeting.
That President is a blockhead.
All this time, his expression has been very empty, cool.
I suddenly realized that when he saw you, his expression became gentle and warm.
Don't talk nonsense.
We have a very normal relationship between collaborators.
He's a very good guy. Not only does he help me with work and support me,
he also cares about my whole life. We're partners at work
and good neighbors in life. It's that simple.
Okay...good neighbors; good partners.
In this first phase of partnership, we've already gained an interim victory.
Concerning the second stage where emotions are concerned,
actions and expressions have to advance too.
Tell me. Exactly how is this developing.
Speak up. Hurry.
Then, I'll tell you. It's very good.
Just two words:
There isn't any!
There isn't any?!
Look at my expression: everything is normal.
Where in my expression do you read that anything has happened?
Look. There's nothing.
Even though this project for Ming Sheng Group helps our brand,
and their advance payment will soon come through.
we'll still need a large loan for the initial phase.
What plans are there for solving this problem?
[Loan application]
We can get a bank loan. After all, this project will make a nice profit.
In addition, it looks like because of the One Belt, One Road project [a huge Chinese infrastructure project], the bank would be willing to give us a loan.
These are the details from several banks. Specifically, you need to be the one to choose which bank.
Right now, money is a problem.
The most important thing is the resources of those behind the money.
This depends on you.
Our ability to get this project for Ming Sheng is largely due to Lin Qian's contribution.
Indeed.
But I remember the contract you initially signed with her was for this project.
I'll get her to stay with us.
My experience tells me that there are types of behavior when a man likes a girl.
The first is, 'just do it, don't talk about it'.
President Li is like that. He's all action, no talk.
The other type is all talk, no action. This isn't right.
Neither type is good.
All talk...
Uh...I didn't say anything.
I...I'm going.
Don't deduct anything from my pay. I was just talking nonsense. Please!
Why are you hiding from me lately?
I'm not hiding from you.
Every day, you get up earlier than me.
The development has been going so smoothly. I feel great.
You don't want to tell me the reason?
It's not that.
You don't want to talk to me?
Aren't we talking right now?
Then you surely don't want to attend the H Group's New Generation designer salon.
What? What?
This is the golden ticket for young designers to enter fashion industry.
So I'm invited?
Another good news
What is it?
Welcome Designer Lin
Winning the deal with Ming Sheng.
is all Lin Qian's effort right?
Yes
No it's everyone's effort.
Designer Lin is so talented and so beautiful
Of course. Lin Qian could make a career out of her good look
but she insists to do it with her latent. Flowers
Qian Sister, flowers for you.
Thank you. Thank you everyone.
I'm very happy to work with everybody.
And also President Li
Thank President Li
Don't be so modest on such a beautiful day
Cheers
Congratulation on the victory of Lin Qian's design!
Cheers!
Thank you.
Thank you!
Congratulations Lin Qian
Thank you.
Toast to Lin Qian
Thanks everyone.
Where is Gu Yanzhi?
The incident with sample has passed
but I'm still confused about something.
Who do you think would do such things?
now we can only suspect our competitors did it.
Xin Bao Rui
Xin Bao Rui tires t attack Wenda is every aspect
It must have something to do with them.
Do you suspect Ning Weikai?
He's the biggest suspect so far
But we don't have evidence.
Hello who is it?
It's me, Qian.
What's up?
yeah I have something to talk to you.
Can we meet up?
I'm sorry I'm busy.
Qian
Did I do anything upset you?
Qian, what happened?
Is there any misunderstanding between us?
You sounded weird over the phone.
I have a question to ask you senior fellow.
Did Xin Bao Rui send someone to ruin Aida's sample?
Who told you this?
Li Zhicheng?
I'm the lead designer of Aida and I designed this rescue uniform
of course I care about this.
Qian,
there are a lot of companies who tried to win this deal with Ming Sheng
Not just three companies we know
there are so many small companies
I see despicable things like this
were probably done by a small company
After all, I know much about fabrics and textile
but as for business competition
I really feel the complication about it this time.
Then I'll ask you
in your eye, what kind of person am I?
Different from how you were when we were in school
I know. Now you are in Aida and I'm in Xin Bao Rui
We are competitors professionally.
But I wouldn't hurt you.
Now that this has past,
so let's just not worry about it anymore.
What did you want to talk to me about today?
It's like this. Ming Sheng Project is over
So your contract with Aida is probably about to expire right?
I'm thinking about
if I could invite you to Xin Bao Rui again.
The project is over
but the contract is still there.
It's gonna be a while till it expires.
How about this,
I'll let you know as soon as my contract expires.
Okay, I'll be waiting for you.
President Li
-Good to see you again. -President Ning.
Congratulations on winning the deal with Ming Sheng
You sent someone into Aida
Are you kidding President LI
How could I do that?
Of course. I've heard about this.
And I explained to Lin Qian
If you doubt that, you can ask her.
I warn you
Lin Qian is just a designer
All the despicable things you did, don't drag her into it.
I know.
If you suspect someone
no matter what he says, it would seem like lying
I'm not suspecting you. I'm sure it was you.
Then President Li, do you have evidence?
If you don't have evidence
aren't we wasting our time here.
You two are all here.
President Chen
The designers in this Salon today, except for Lin Qian
there are also our new lead designer for Si Mei qi
President Ning, which side are you taking?
I'm not taking a side.
I only care about good designs.
I think this also is the purpose for Grace to hold this salon.
I thought you two are supporting Lin Qian
But Ning has showed his attitute
neutral
Then I think today is gonna be like The Romance of Three Kingdoms again.
We lost Ming Sheng's deal
but today's Salon
it's an opportunity for Si Mei Qi to show its face.
Do a bad thing once might not have some evidevne
but if you keep doing it, you will eventually expose.
I advise you, follow the rules of this industry.
Keep challenging other's bottom lines
is only gonna be attacked by everyone else.
What are you guys talking about? Can someone explain this to me?
Nothing
We are just randomly chatting.
Yeah.
If President Ning's still obsessive, then I'll play this game with you till the end.
Li Zhicheng, you are more and more arrogant.
I also advise you
stay away from your brother Kai.
What does he mean?
Ignore him.
Only winning once, he thought the entire Lin Hai is his.
But he asked me to be careful of you,
I think this is right.
What do you mean President Chen?
You know about the Japanese fabric is the trap Li Zhicheng set
but you watched me jump right into it.
President Chen you wronged me here.
I found out about it afterwards,
But you'd already signed the deal with the Japanese. So there was nothing I could do.
Besides, New Baorui has already lost the battle.
If you have to blame anyone,
you need to blame it on Li Zhicheng from Aida Group.
I will avenge Li Zhicheng.
Don't worry, Manager Chen, if there's another chance to split the cake in future,
New Baorui will share it with Simeiqi.
But don't forget, our mutual enemy
is still Li Zhicheng.
Manager Chen.
Everything ready?
Almost.
Break a leg. If you do well today,
everyone in Linhai City's clothing industry will know you.
Thanks, Manager Chen, I'll do my best.
Designer Lin, you're also here?
Manager Chen, you're blocking my way.
Lin Qian, don't forget. You're not the only designer in Linhai City.
See? This is the designer we just hired.
Anything can be taken care of by Simeiqi's money.
If anything can't be taken care of, it just means the money is not enough.
That's great, Manager Chen. Congrats.
Aida will bankrupt sooner or later.
If you want to beg me when the ship sinks,
Simeiqi will consider taking you.
Manager Chen, thank you. I don't have money problems.
Very pretty.
Thank you.
Why is he not here?
Grace, Grace.
You're finally here. It's been a while!
Grace, Grace.
No time no see.
You're getting prettier and prettier.
Really? You also look very well.
No. I just landed. I'm still jet-lagged.
Really?
Let me make an introduction. This is Manager Li from Aida, I mentioned him to you over the phone before.
This is Manager Cheng from Ankada.
I've heard about your big name for a while.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Although their company is fairly new,
but he's competent and full of potential,
his company just took Mingsheng's project.
I know, I know.
If you vouched for him, he must be good.
So take the chance and cooperate.
No problem.
Well, we will talk more soon.
Of course.
OK, I'll get prepared. See you later.
OK, Cindy. Take Mr. Cheng Feng to get prepared.
- See you soon. - This way, Manager Cheng.
Ankada will design a series of flight attendant uniform.
It'll be a big order. At least tens of thousands.
So if you have a chance, talk to him. Make an impression on him.
But I've talked to him over the phone before.
He showed some interested in working with your company.
So, don't let me down.
Grace, thank you.
Don't thank me anymore.
As long as we can have this project, Aida will make a great leap.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Designer Salon by H Group.
In today's runway show, models will showcase
8 different designers' work.
Let's give it up
for Ms. Grace from H Group!
Thank you for attending today's gala.
It's been 9 years since H Group first held the Designer Salon.
During the past 9 years, we've presented many great local designers.
They've won lots of awards in many international fashion shows, which I'm quite proud of.
That's why I've decided to keep this event going.
What's special is, we have a new charity segment of today's event,
which is "China-Doll" Angel Fund.
Thanks to our great designers, the money we raise today
will all go to children who have China-Doll disease.
I hope everybody can lend a hand
to help those kids in need. Thank you!
We've also introduced an important guest today.
He's Cheng Feng, the president of China of Ankada Airlines.
Welcome!
- Mr. Cheng, it's been a while. - Hello.
Hello.
Ladies and gentlemen, hello.
you can all participate in
Grace's charity event,
I'm very moved.
Tonight, except for donating more money,
I also have important news
to share with you guys.
As you may know, Ankada entered the Chinese market not too long ago.
We are planning to upgrade our flight attendant uniform in our head quarter.
It's a big order.
200 million RMB.
40,000 sets of uniform. Whoever has the best product and price will get it.
I've tried very hard to get the opportunity
to have the uniform designed and manufactured in China.
So I hope you guys can try you best
to send us your proposals, OK?
Awesome!
Thanks a lot. I also hope the event can be successful.
Thanks!
Good!
Let's enjoy
the fantastic design competition!
Our first designer is Zhou Zhengda, from Anggu Company.
He came back to China from New York last year. His works have the luxurious Manhattan style
as well as the deep culture of Linhai City.
Our second designer is Lin Qian, from Aida Company.
Lin Qian's design has always been refreshing and bold.
She never lets herself boxed in a specific style.
Again and again, she combined her design
with her unique feminine exquisite style.
Our 4th designer is Han Xiaoxiao, from Chunxia Company.
Han Xiaoxiao loves to use white, which is simple and elegant.
She managed to make white sophisticated and exciting.
Our 8th designer is Zhang Siyao from Simeiqi Company.
Last year, she was given the title "one of the best aspiring designers"
by Linhai Daily.
She's a so-called impressionist designer in Linhai, which is very rare.
Now, please cast your votes with your invitation letters.
We will have the result after the break.
Manager Cheng, we are very interested in your company Ankada's project.
Can you give us your contact info?
No problem.
That's right, we also want to work with you.
Hello, Manager Cheng, Manager Li from our company also wanted to schedule an appointment with you.
No problem.
Xiaoya, take down their contact information.
OK, Manager Cheng.
Good.
Manager Cheng, it's been a while.
Where's your husband Mr. Wu?
Wu is too busy. He can't make it today.
Cheng Feng is being ridiculous. I've told him before to
only talk to Aida in private.
Who would have thought he would tell everyone the news once he got on stage?
Our salon has become his bidding event.
Manager Cheng. I've heard about the "flying man" rumor a while ago.
I didn't expect to meet you in person today.
You are...?
I'm Cheng Zheng, CEO and executive president of Simeiqi Group.
Si Meiqi.
I know your dad, Chen Zhijun, right?
Chen Zhijun, yes.
You're much more handsome than your dad.
Manager Cheng.
Simeiqi is doing very well lately, must have been you, the young CEO, right?
You're joking. You're the older generation, how can we call us youngsters competent?
But I've heard that Ankada will be taking bids, will you consider us?
No problem. You have a top-notch sales team.
Ankada just entered the Chinese market. We need it more than anything.
Brother Cheng, I'm so and relived and happy to hear that.
Don't worry. Simeiqi will provide Ankada
with all possible online platform and resources in China.
I believe, it'll be a win-win situation if we can work together.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks a lot, Brother Cheng.
New Baorui has been doing well in recent years.
You have the most money and a very extensive network.
Ankada just entered the Chinese market. We need it more than anything.
Don't worry, Manager Cheng. New Baorui will definitely make it happen this time.
Good.
I'll wait for your good news, Manager Cheng.
The result has come in.
The two designers who got the most votes are Ms. Lin Qian from Aida
and the aspiring designer Ms. Zhang Siyao from Si Meiqi.
Congratulations.
Let's have the models of these two designers remain on stage. The rest of you can leave now.
According to the number of votes, let's auction Ms. Zhang Siyao's work first.
Brother Cheng, what do you think of No.8's style?
I like it. It has European high-end brands' feeling.
I think the overall design is very elegant.
It fits international companies like Ankada.
So don't think twice when the auction happens.
Why don't you ask your designer to make another one for me?
No problem.
The starting price is 50,000 RMB. Every bid will have an additional 50,000.
Let the auction begin.

but also made the new record of the highest bid.
This way.
Manager Cheng, this is Lin Qian, our No.2 designer.
This is our No.8 designer Zhang Siyao.
Hello.
Lin Qian, this is Ms. Xiaona who won the bid on your dress.
This is Manager Cheng.
Manager Cheng, hello.
Thank you, Ms. Xiaona. Thanks for bidding on my work.
Such a good-looking designer,
no wonder the dress is so stunning.
Give me one of your business cards. I'll come to you if I want to clothes designed.
OK.
- This is my business card. - Thanks.
Manager Cheng, here's my business card.
Lin Qian
You're the designer from Aida Group?
So your boss is Manager Li?
Yes. Do you know Manager Li?
Yes. I know him.
Manager Li is very interested in our uniform project.
Really?
Looking forward to work with you.
But I don't think you have the capacity to design it.
Your design is good indeed.
But the gauzy dress is too teenage girl-like.
Compared with Designer No.8, your work lack the maturity.
Good design needs a good environment. It's not like economic development.
It needs long-term cultural nurturing.
I know
there are many good aspiring designers in China indeed.
But their design are still thinking
inside of their own box.
Their design will never mature to a level that they will cross boundaries.
I think you're in the same category.
Right?
Manager Cheng. I know there have been very mature designers in China.
They have the ability to combine eastern style with western style.
If you only use western design as the benchmark,
of course, you will think Chinese designers are not mature enough.
But it's just the cultural difference.
We are just walking on our own path.
You little girl,
your debate is more powerful than your design.
Western design has over 200 years of history.
If we don't learn from them humbly,
will you call it being mature?
Tell me.
- Manager Cheng. - Manager Li.
Looks like you're having a good chat with my designer.
It's good. She gave me some new opinions.
We will talk next time. We don't have much time today.
Good.
I'll do some preparation. Hopefully you can pay a visit to our company.
OK.
Ning Weikai.
The cold dishes are terrible in this event.
I know a very good place. Let's go together.
- Let's go. - OK.
What do you really want to talk about?
The Ankada project.
You know Mengsheng's project.
I was fooled by Li Zhicheng in the very beginning.
You also got defeated by Aida
although you'd pull lots of strings secretly.
So?
So should we
take the deals from Li Zhicheng's hands?
So you want to work with me.
But don't forget, Manager Chen.
Now that Li Zhicheng's Aida Group has the Mingsheng project.
So I guess he has no capacity to
fight for Ankada's order this time
And for us New Baorui, the Ankada project
is such a piece of cake. Why do I have to work with you?
You did a good job in Designer Salon.
- Really? - Yes.
But Manager Cheng said
I was not the designer he wanted.
He thinks domestic designers needed a better environment.
Most of us are not open-minded enough.
He is just a businessman.
He doesn't know much about design.
You don't have to dwell on it. His opinions are not that important.
It's OK. I think he's right.
A good designer does need to be open-minded
and having more good works.
So I need to work harder. I want to prove myself.
Here's your chance.
Ankada Airlines will redesign their uniform since they just entered the Chinese market.
They are taking biddings soon. Are you willing to join the competition?
But Manager Cheng doesn't think highly of me.
After Mingsheng's project, you started to have a good reputation in our industry.
If you can succeed this time, maybe Manager Cheng will change his mind.
Plus, I'll raise your salary by 20% this time.
I also want a long-term contract with you.
I will help design Ankada's uniform for you even you don't promise me this raise.
I've told you I would try hard.
So you agreed?
This is the Lin Qian I know.
OK. How long do you want the term to be?
5 years.
5 years?
It's such a long time.
Really? A lifetime is a long time.
Are you asking me to sell myself to you?
You don't want to?
I don't want to.
Don't let me wait for too long.
Ms. Li, you have a killer body
and a killer face. You look good no matter what you wear.
But I think you look better in dress.
I'm not in the mood to dress up. And I don't want to wear dresses.
Second Brother works so hard. And there's nothing I can do.
Do you also think I'm useless?
Of course not.
At least you look good right now.
What about me?
I'm not one who feels defeated.
Maybe you don't know,
your big brother and your second brother are completely different.
They both said they trusted me.
But at the end of the day, your second brother never told me the details of his plan.
I have no choice but to follow him.
Sorry,
the number you dialed is out of service.
Please try again later.
Wenda Group's document?
OK. I'll leave now.
Annoucement
Transfer Order
Let me ask you, since the Li Family took the Mingsheng project,
what's your new plan?
They got lucky last time. They won't be this lucky this time.
Ankada announced their new project today.
The three companies will compete for it again.
Dad, I won't let you down.
As a real man, to a certain level,
once he understands the importance of being humble,
he will become more and more mature.
You've always been stubborn. It's not good for you.
You should learn from your failure
and learn some experience from your opponent.
Enough, dad, It's late. You should go to sleep.
Looks like Li Zhicheng
has quite a good taste and ambition.
He seems to be a fair man.
Can you not compare me with him?
Look at you, get all worked up because your dad praised him?
Fair enough, I admit, I underestimated Li Zhicheng.
But there won't be a second time.
You asked to see me?
So how's the party?
It's good. The only pity was you not being there.
When did you ask to be transferred back to the headquarters?
