" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 15
Director Wu, actually, we need your help.
Ai Da really hopes to...
enter Danzi building.
We can talk about the...
conditions for our cooperation later.
Although I really admire both of you,
I have my own difficulties.
Danzi has unbending standards for any brands that want to enter it.
For the moment, Ai Da is not up to standard yet.
Director Wu.
We understand your difficulties.
But Director Li is a talented...
young man who has just came back to Linhai city.
It's alright.
Don't let business affect our relationship.
We can still be friends even if we won't be cooperating together.
I have a solution.
What solution?
Since Ai Da is not popular enough,
why don't we borrow it from another?
What do you mean?
Do you know Fancy?
It's a popular brand in America. It's founder is a famous Chinese...
called Tang.
They have been wanting to find a designer in China...
to create a secondary clothing line that has Chinese characteristic.
Why not Ai Da tries it out?
Will it work?
How do we know it won't if we never try?
But we don't know Tang.
This is simple. Two years ago, H magazine interviewed him.
I can find out his phone number for you in a flash.
Hello, Cindy.
Help me find out...
the phone number of Tang, founder of Fancy.
Try your best to find it, alright?
I'll wait for you good news.
If we can make a deal with him,
we'll talk again with Director Wu.
I think everybody understands the plan, right?
If you have any questions or suggestions, you can tell me.
We are not going to wait for Director Li?
He has something to take care of today.
He can't make it. Let's start first.
Our most basic demands is to complete the orders fast with minimum cost...
to generate revenue for Ai Da.
Lin Qian, we understand your design concept.
But it needs to be feasible...
in an actual situation.
I'm sorry to have to interrupt you.
Before this, Director Li has asked me to...
research about An Ka Da's uniform data for the past years.
The sample that she's designed...
is supported by those data.
The 'Goddess in the Sky' project by Si Mei Qi...
to promote our image is very visible.
But for this proposition,
personally, I don't think that it's very attractive.
Put it simply, we just want to know...
why is it necessary...
to put so much emphasis on the materials.
Alright. Let me give you an actual demonstration.
- Ya Yi. - I'm here.
Stand still.
Turn right.
Good day, my fellow leaders.
Turn to your back.
March forward.
Sir, do you need any help?
Look.
This is the most common service posture for flight attendants.
It needs to have comfortable cutting at the waist area.
And it needs to fit the curves of the body.
But the length of the skirt needs to be near the knee area.
So that she won't be exposed.
The luggage of the passenger is usually around 5kg.
When a flight attendant lifts a luggage,
it'll put stress of the shoulder area.
So, the fabric around the area...
needs to be sewn with Liuqing threads.
Some passengers have overweight luggage.
But the limit is 45 kg.
When they have to lift such a heavy luggage,
it's very important for us to choose the most suitable fabric.
We have to choose fabric that has elasticity.
So that when the wearer moves,
the uniform won't rip...
and teat easily.
It's easy to make beautiful clothes.
But a beautiful uniform is not our final target.
Fast and cheap is not our target too.
We just have one target.
That is, to let the people wearing the uniform every day...
to feel comfortable and without worry.
This Director Wu is so interesting.
As soon as he heard that Fancy is going to cooperate with me,
he promised to let me rent a place in Danzi building.
Looks like this Tang is very important.
This is the power of brand.
Hopefully we can be successful this time.
I have to go back to the company.
Today, our company is going to show our proposal to An Ka Da.
Lin Qian is going to present her products.
You haven't told Lin Qian yet?
This is what I think.
I want to wait until everything is a done deal first.
But before that,
I still hope that she can do the things that she likes.
I don't want to trouble her with those deceptions.
I hope that your surprise won't turn into a shock.
If something went wrong,
remember to tell me first so that I can have a laugh.
Just now, Lin Qian has already explained...
her design concept to everybody.
So do you still have any question?
If you don't have question,
next will be the voting.
Those who agree with Lin Qian's design proposal,
please raise up your hand.
Sorry that I'm late.
I've already read through Lin Qian's proposal.
I think her design is excellent.
It's decided then.
Submit a complete tender to me before you go back.
Thank you for your hard work today.
If it wasn't for your demonstration,
we won't know how it'll go.
I think Director Li can definitely see your performance.
Maybe you'll get your compliments later.
This is great.
This is called training soldiers to be used in time of crisis.
- This is the least we can do. - That's right, we have to do it.
By the way, talking about Director Li, I thought of something.
When he rushed back to listen to your proposal today,
he's out of breath.
Everybody saw it, right?
It's obvious that he's here to support you.
Are you affected or feel touched for a little bit?
Yes. I'm very touched.
Then I hope that...
everybody can continue to work hard...
until we sign the final contract.
Let's use our actions to thank Director Li.
- Alright? - This is the least we can do, sister.
Let's work hard together for An Ka Da's project!
Keep it up!
Li...
Ya Yi, don't bother me.
I need to quickly finish this by seven.
So that I can hand it in.
When love comes,
it's especially tender.
Is it impulsive or is it love?
Tell me the truth.
Are you going to make it into a brand right now?
It's still a vision at this stage.
But I'll make it into a reality as soon as possible.
So you've been busy with this recently.
No wonder you aren't as invested in this...
An Ka Da's project.
We need to make a reservation in advance...
to get a good place to open our shop.
We have to be prepared.
And when the time comes, you'll be in charge of the designing work.
Of course I don't have a problem with it.
But I just want to tell you that...
I have to complete this An Ka Da's project first.
Only then, I can focus on the designing for our new brand.
I am a designer. I can't multi-task.
Do you think I should use a single row of buttons...
or double rows of buttons?
Help me take a look, Ya Yi.
Ya Yi.
I think single row is better.
No need to rush this for me.
You can give it to me on tomorrow.
Go back to rest earlier today.
Go home earlier.
- Director Wu. - Have a seat.
I'm sorry for the wait.
Why do you ask me out so suddenly?
At first, I thought that I'll tell you through phone.
But I think it's better for me to personally tell you this.
What happened?
It's about the shop lot.
My leader, Director Zong...
has rented out the shop lot to Zhu Corporation.
What?
How did that happen?
Did Zhu Han Chong discuss that with you?
It's Zhu Bo Yun.
I never thought that...
it'll be so easy to rent a shop lot from Danzi building.
You have a wide network.
A lot of times, the things that we need to work hard to get...
is as simple as just a word for you.
It's always more than that...
behind the seemingly easy things.
That's right. Looks like we have to give up completely...
on the shop lot in Danzi.
I never thought that Ning Wei Kai is one step ahead of us.
It's because of my carelessness. I'm sorry.
This is not your fault.
I think there will be other good shop lots.
We can still think of a way.
I'll follow up with Tang. Don't worry.
I don't believe that I can't get it done.
When I first graduated,
I chose to stay in the academy.
That time, I was very impressed with...
the work of a student.
Later, as I've expected,
he passed the art test.
However, after the university admission notice is issued,
there has been no response.
So I travelled to his secondary school to look for him.
Only then, I found out that someone...
had secretly torn off his admission letter.
Luckily I can get to him on time.
And he managed to get into the university.
You are a benefactor to so many people.
I'm not helping others.
I'm helping myself.
During that time, those who are able to get into university...
are not ordinary people.
Let's not talk about others.
Let's just talk about the student I mentioned just now.
He is the Director Zheng now.
Looks like I still need to learn a lot from you, Chairman Zhu.
No need for the pleasantries.
But I still need to stress it out for you.
If it wasn't because of you,
I won't waste my effort...
to ask my old acquaintance for help.
It's because when I see you,
you'll remind me of Director Zheng.
Both of you are seedlings that can be successful.
Then thank you for educating us.
This is not an education, this is trust.
When you are in the business world for long,
you'll know that how rare it is...
to find trust.
What is it?
Your USB is functional again?
Didn't you say that it's broken when you are in Yunnan?
I've fixed it.
But all the photos are gone.
And there are some extra files.
But I can't open it.
Look. I can't open it.
This is creepy.
So fragrant.
You've done well.
Finally, we can lock on to Lin Qian.
We are right, she's here.
What happened?
The result is bad?
I've failed.
Will it impact the company much...
if you didn't manage to strike a deal with Danzi?
All of my efforts are for nothing.
I've been working hard at first.
But in the end,
all of my hopes turn to dust.
Is it very funny?
I never saw...
Boss Li from Ai Da...
wearing such a disheartened expression.
What kind of a person I am in your heart?
As far as I know, not like this.
At first, I thought that...
although I know nothing about the fashion industry,
I can still win if I work hard enough.
But in the end, I've put my company in a difficult situation.
Do you know?
The universe has energy conservation law.
As long as we work hard,
as long as you can persevere,
time will give you back the sweetest gift.
Although we can't control everything,
as long as Li Zhi Cheng locks on a target,
you can defeat all of your enemies.
Nothing can stop you.
This is the reason I joined Ai Da...
although I know it's a sinking ship since the beginning.
Because I believe in you.
Director Cheng, finally, you are here.
Our project team is already waiting for you upstairs.
You will definitely see the products that...
are to your liking in Xin Bao Rui today.
This way please, Director Cheng.
As long as Li Zhi Cheng...
locks on a target,
you can defeat all of your enemies.
Nothing can stop you.
This is the reason I joined Ai Da...
although I know it's a sinking ship since the beginning.
Because I believe in you.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
How is it? How do I look today?
Is it nice? It's not too bad, right?
You look good.
Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?
Quickly, Director Cheng is coming.
What is it?
Director Cheng...
is not coming.
Why isn't he coming?
In other words,
we've given up on the project.
Why?
This project is too big.
It's too difficult for Ai Da.
We can't do it.
No.
As long as our design can get Director Cheng's approval,
we can do it.
If we lack of funds, we can borrow it from the bank or take a personal loan.
But the production problem...
is not something that can be solved in one month. Do you understand?
But we can't just give up like that.
Look at our Ming Sheng's project.
It's as difficult as this is.
But we managed to wade through it.
There's nothing that we can't solve.
I'm sorry.
When did you decide...
not to take on this An Ka Da's project?
After I read Director Cheng's conditions.
But, then why...
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
You kept quiet even though...
you know that I've worked hard and worked overtime every day...
to secure this project.
Is it very amusing to see me work hard for nothing?
At first, I thought that Ai Da will keep on getting projects.
So even if there's not An Ka Da, you can do other projects too.
These are two different things, alright?
I am a designer.
I have a passion for my work and I'm responsible for it.
An Ka Da's project is my hard work.
How can I just give up?
- I'm sorry. - Just because of one sentence,
you've poured all of my hard work into the drain.
Even if we didn't take on this An Ka Da's project,
Ai Da will have other projects too.
You can do it yourself.
You've single-handedly ruined Xin Bao Rui's project.
Can't you use your brain?
Don't you know that Director Cheng is an old-fashioned man?
He doesn't wish that his daughter is under the limelight.
No. It's impossible for me to know about that.
Even if you don't know about his family,
you have to know that...
he has to report to his head office, right?
You've spread Cheng Mei Zi's advertisement all over the world.
You'll force him to reject you so that he won't be accused of being unfair.
You've gone overboard from trying to please him.
Chairman Zhu.
It's my fault for being too careless too.
I didn't control...
the company's advertising channel well enough.
Ning Wei Kai,
you really know where and when to strike.
- What did you do? - Enough.
You always blame others.
Alright. All of it is my fault.
He's too childish.
Chairman Zhu, please calm down.
Maybe this thing...
is not as bad as it seems.
Tell me.
Now, all of Si Mei Qi's production lines...
are going to be focused on An Ka Da's project.
But 520 shopping festival is coming soon.
Their absence is a good opportunity for us.
Ai Da is trying hard to find shop lots,
make his own brands and go into the consumers' market...
because they are planning for this.
As long as we can stop Ai Da from becoming a brand,
I believe, we will be the winner of 520.
You and Li Zhi Cheng...
are quite smart.
But unlike you, he doesn't have a strong shield behind him.
Do it without any worries.
I'll support you.
Thank you, Chairman Zhu.
This 520 shopping festival...
is our best chance to strike out at Ai Da.
We have to make good use of it.
Yes.
Your gift is too heavy.
I need to ask how much there is?
Director Chen, you don't trust me?
We've cooperated once before this, right?
That's different.
Before this, we are going up against Ai Da.
We have the same target.
But what do you want today?
Director Chen.
I can't spell out everything for you.
If my situation...
is like yours in Si Mei Qi...
where I have my own say,
I won't be needing your help.
You need my help?
To resist outside aggression and pacify people from the inside?
It's unsuitable to use that proverb here.
Now,
I'm just balancing out the power in Xin Bao Rui.
You are really courageous.
Do you even care about Zhu Bo Yun?
I can't do my things well if my hands are tied.
I'll accept this gift.
Alright.
Then I wish you all the best for tomorrow, Director Chen.
Come over here, everyone.
I have a good news for you.
We've succeeded in securing An Ka Da's project.
Great!
All of you had worked very hard.
Go to the finance department to get your bonus before going back, alright?
- Great! - Great!
We failed this project. And we have to bear it together.
That's right, Teacher Lin.
Look, we have barely started learning.
And you won't be teaching us anymore.
That's right, Qian Qian.
If you are gone, what about Ai Da?
What about Director Li?
He doesn't even need me.
Sister Lin Qian, don't be angry.
We can talk this through.
We failed this project.
But maybe we can be successful in another.
- Right? - Yes.
There won't be a next project.
Don't say it like that.
Please reconsider. Don't leave, alright?
Sister Qian Qian.
Qian Qian, stop crying.
Fall in!
What are you doing?
Teacher Lin.
Without Director Li's order,
we won't let you go.
That's right.
We are not related anymore.
Our contract is up.
Now, he's not my superior and I'm not his employee.
Don't use him to deal with me, alright?
Don't be angry, sister.
I'm not mad.
All of you are quite good.
Everything that happened today is on my own decision.
Don't let me affect your work.
Move aside, quickly.
Move aside! Quickly!
Don't bully me anymore, alright?
Qian Qian.
If you quit, then I'll quit too. Wait for me.
Get on the car. I'll give you a ride.
I can walk by myself.
What is it? What happened?
Qian.
What happened?
Actually you can tell me if have anything on your mind.
I'm your senior anyway.
Even if I can't solve your problems,
you'll feel more comfortable if you say it out loud.
I've worked really hard in the design for this project.
Because I feel that now,
most of the clothing designs focus only on the visuals.
And they disregard the wearer's health.
I hope that I can make some changes through my own designs.
I also hope that I can help the company to...
secure this project with my hard work.
But today,
the company suddenly told me that they are not going to do the project.
I feel like I'm a moron.
Nobody cares about my feelings.
Maybe in other people's perception, this is a futile effort.
This thing is a huge blow to me.
I'm quite disappointed in my company.
Am I'm quite disappointed in myself.
By project,
do you mean An Ka Da's order?
An Ka Da's project...
has been taken by Si Mei Qi.
Actually, for this project,
don't be too hard on yourself.
I know.
You are that kind of person who puts everything into your designs.
But it's different in a business competition.
Winning or losing is often a matter of benefits.
You've done your best.
But sometimes, people don't make decision...
based on the design itself.
Don't doubt yourself because of this.
But we can learn lots of lessons from our failures.
Every course is a chance to grow.
Let's go.
Thank you for today, senior.
I feel much better...
after talking to you.
Why are you so polite with me?
We used to be like this when we were in school, right?
I wish I can go back to our university time.
It's not as complicated as now.
Alright, don't think too much.
Let's go. Let me send you.
- Let's go, quickly. - Let's go, quickly.
Who are you?
- Why do you care? - Junior.
- Attack. - Go, quickly.
Quickly, go!
- Quickly, go! - Senior!
Quickly, go!
Senior.
Who are you, what do you want?
Where is the thing?
What thing? I don't know.
The USB.
USB?
What USB?
What do you want to do?
- Senior! - Where is the USB?
Senior.
USB.
Your USB is functional again?
Didn't you say that it's broken when you are in Yunnan?
But all the photos are gone.
And there are some extra files.
But I can't open it.
Kill him.
Don't! I know! I know where it is.
Where is it?
Hello, the person you called is busy right now.
Please call again later.
- Qian. - Quick!
- Senior. - Quickly.
Sit here.
Are you alright?
Find it for me.
I'm tied up, how to find it?
Release her.
If you try any tricks,
I'll kill him immediately.
Stop using me to threaten her.
I'll look for it.
No.
Quick.
You are trying to fool me.
Li Zhi Cheng.
Li Zhi Cheng, take it.
Senior.
Release me.
Run!
Don't go.
