[ Episode 13 ]
Manager Li is still having you work this late?
This is clearly against the labor law.
I need to meet him.
What meeting? I volunteered. I'm willing to work late. I'm a good Chinese employee.
Since you said it today, I'll prove myself to you!
Good. Then I'll wait for the good news.
Lin Mochen, you arrogant prick,
wait and see.
Bye.
Can I come in?
Finished your video chat?
Seems like he's worried about you working here.
No way. He's by brother.
We have a good relationship. He's been keeping an eye on me since we were kids. That's why he has so many questions.
You can put aside the work for now. Let's go eat.
Eating is essential. I can't exploit you by violating the labor law.
Besides, what if your brother blame it on me?
It's too late to go out now. Let's eat here.
I have braised beef with brown sauce, seafood with XO sauce, and tomato beef.
What kind of express noodles do you want?
Smells good, right?
Did you choose to take on the project because you got mad for what Manager Cheng said, or because you liked it?
I'm not a kid anymore. Why would I do it because I was mad? Of course, I like it.
And I did the calculation. Here it is.
They've ordered 40,000 sets of flight attendant uniform.
Let's say one flight attendant will meet 50 customers everyday.
In that case, there are going to be 2 million people looking at the uniform I designed daily.
How awesome it is! I would be so proud!
You're this confident?
Then I support you.
Although it's a rough route, the future is bright.
Right. Although it's a rough route, the future is bright.
Do the noodles taste good? Can I try it?
- What about your noodles? - I only got one left. And I gave it to you.
- Do you want it? - What are you doing?
Let's do Rock Paper Scissors. Whoever wins can have it for 3 seconds.
OK. Let's place it in the middle and have a fair game.
- Rock Paper Scissors. Rock Paper Scissors .- Rock Paper Scissors. Rock Paper Scissors.
So delicious.
- Again. - Rock Paper Scissors.
That's a big bite.
I've noted the problematic parts with red lines.
You can take a look at the indemnity clause.
Have you noticed?
The content of their indemnity clause is half a page longer than the payment clause.
I've noticed.
Finishing up 40,000 sets of uniform within a month.
Even if we don't have the Mingsheng project,
it won't be possible for us to do it.
What if we go find some suppliers?
I've asked around. Most suppliers are working for Ning Weikai.
Even adding Wenda's remaining production power,
we still won't be able to catch up and finish the order.
If we have to take on the Ankada project,
it'll be like digging our own grave.
Manager Ning, you are in a good mood today.
Manager Chen, where did you go?
I've been to a few supplying factories.
Why didn't you just make a few phone calls instead?
Give us a break. You've signed contracts with so many suppliers.
You're not afraid that in the end, you can't get the Ankada order?
If New Baorui can't have it, then Simeiqi can.
If that's the case, I can just transfer these supplier resources to you.
Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? I'm not used to it.
Manager Chen, don't forget. Simeiqi has always been New Baorui's ally.
Our mutual enemy is Aida.
Li Zhicheng got the rescue jacket project purely out of luck.
But he doesn't have the ability to take a big order like the Ankada project.
Aida can't take it. But Grace...
she can.
Grace?
I think she will do some small favors.
But speaking of investing real money,
a smart woman like Grace just won't do it.
Don't you know?
Grace has invested in Aida already.
Really?
I'm thinking about the consequence of
not bidding on Ankada.
You're worrying about Grace.
It's a problem indeed.
She got the project and arranged the negotiation.
Most importantly, it's her investment.
If you tell her you want to quit,
she might withdraw her investment.
Grace invested in Aida? Why?
Now thinking about it, I figure it has something to do with Li Zhiqian.
Li Zhiqian used to mention a girl.
He was encouraged by a girl.
But he didn't mention the girl's name.
Li Zhiqian had always wanted to start his own brand.
When negotiating on the You'a order, Grace was there as well.
I think Grace is the girl he was talking about.
Ankada is not Aida's only option.
What do you mean?
We can start a new brand.
Are you crazy? How can Aida start a new brand?
Aida has money and talent. Why not?
- But now... - But what?
I need you to send me a feasibility report.
Now?
Right now.
And it has to be finished by May 20.
You can't just start a brand in such a hurry.
From my previous experience, as long as we stay focused,
nothing is impossible. Remember,
send me a feasibility report. Not an unfeasibility report.
So you're sure you want to give up the Ankada project?
No. Send the message.
Aida will officially participate in the bidding war.
What exactly are you thinking?
Aikda withdrawing from the Ankada competition can only be known between you and I.
Nobody else can know, including Lin Qian.
Even if that's the case, I don't believe Grace will invest so much in her lost love.
Manager Chen, you can spend so much money on a social media influencer.
For her lost love, why can't Grace
invest some money?
If that's the case, Manager Ning,
to fight against a woman with a dead man, you might not win.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Don't get mad. I'm talking crazy.
Don't act like I know exactly what's on your mind.
I've said it many times. I approached Grace
only out of my strategy.
No matter you did it strategically or out of your heart,
you've lost this time.
That might not be the case.
I don't know what President Wu was thinking,
having me come here for such a small shoot.
Thanks.
Sis.
Here?
OK.
Ziyue. Increase the field of view.
OK. I'll go now.
-Keep a close eye on the shoot. - OK.
Grace.
Since I'm here today, may I have the honor to have a picture with you?
Sorry, taking pictures is not part of my work duty.
But don't worry, our photographers are very professional and experienced.
It'll definitely be worth your while.
Enjoy.
Wait. Excuse me.
What else?
I haven't got a chance
to explain to you about Aida's sample clothes.
Actually, it's my employee's fault.
He was doing it for me but he wasn't thinking about the consequence.
We didn't know things would turn out like this, so...
So you are not directly responsible for it?
OK. If that's the case,
I'm sorry for my impulsive move at the time.
No matter what, it's in the past. You don't have to explain more.
Anything else?
You're very interesting.
You remind me of a woman Li Zhiqian mentioned before.
If you want to talk about women,
I suggest you talk to President Wu about getting on next year's Women's Day special.
It suits you well.
I'll pass.
I only remember he told me that woman was like a cactus.
Although full of thorns from the outside,
but as gentle as water from the inside.
That's right. I am a cacutus.
So don't get too close.
Otherwise, I'll attack you with my thorns and have you end up like a hedgehog.
Cindy. Let's go.

Thank you.
You have to work hard on the Ankada's project, sorry.
Doing things I like is not hard work at all.
Aida may not have a big chance of winning the bid.
If we didn't get it, would you be disappointed?
Only those who have tried hard can talk about the results.
But as long as we do our best and not having any regrets,
it doesn't matter what the results are.
Go for it.
Morning.
She's here.
Let's sit.
Hurry.
- You just got here, but you want to eat... - Stand up.
What are you doing?
Ma'am.
Manager Li asked us to learn from Ms. Lin.
Am I hearing it wrong?
You want us to learn how to make clothes from Lin Qian?
You're asking us to grab the needles with the hands that used to
grab guns. It's so unmanly.
Right. We got enlisted in the military right after college.
We've never done anything like this before.
That's right. Why don't you ask us to run 50 kilometers instead?
Right. Now we follow you into the clothing industry.
But we don't know how to hold embroidery needles.
So you will never learn?
Well, not that we don't want to learn...
We just can't hold embroidery needles...
We've never done it before. Never...
Stand at attention!
Stand at ease.
Although we are not in the troops anymore. As long as you're in this company, I'll still be your commander.
You have to follow my orders.
Now Aida's bidding on Ankada's project.
We are in the clothing industry now.
If we know nothing about the clothing industry, isn't it a joke?
You have to learn this lesson sooner or later.
Now Lin Qian is a perfect teacher.
It's a good opportunity, right?
But why do I think you've only told us half of the message
without telling us the other half?
Can you give us more details?
We just to get trained to do arresting, fighting, surviving in extreme environments,
and dismantling all kinds of weapons. We all got to do those things for the first time.
Now Designer Lin needs some help.
This is the difficulty. What do we do when facing a diffuclty?
We face it!
What do you mean?
You fools want to learn how to make clothes from Ms. Lin?
Fools?
How can you call us fools?
Whoever responds is a real fool.
Why are you still standing there? Sort out the fabric. Move.
- Don't move! Don't move! -- Don't move! Don't move!
These fabric are all useful.
Don't move them. Put them back.
Put them back. Gather around.
Manager Li is not sending you rescue. He's making your life harder.
- Right. - We can't even reason with them.
Right. I don't know what's going on...
Let me help you to shoo them away.
Don't.
Manager Li might did it out of a good intention.
Don't upset them.
You really want to learn?
We will overcome the difficulties and achieve victory.
We will devote ourselves fully to Aida!
Nice speech. Good job.
That's the spirit.
Manager Chen. This is the first round of selection of "Goddes in the Cloud".
Please go to the venue at 2 pm.
The filming crew and live crew are testing the equipment as we speak.
The event page has been created as you approved.
Good. You did a good job.
Manager Chen, thanks for the opportunity. I've learned a lot from this event.
That's right. It's you who gave us the inspiration.
So I hope you can take over the execution of the event.
This will be your main achievement this year.
Manager Chen, thanks.
- But... - What?
You mentioned about the bonus...
Don't worry. I won't eat my word.
You've given us such a good inspiration.
Well, you can go shop with me in Danzi later.
You can choose any high-end purse you like.
Manager Chen, thank you.
This is sponsored by Xinyang app?
Yes. You can have it now.
Manager Chen, thanks.
Give it to me.
Can you at least give me a chance?
Why giving you the chance? Take my card.
I don't know if the one I like is on sale or not.
This is a bonus for you.
Since I've given my word, no matter how expensive it is, you will have it.
Manager Chen, thanks.
Where's the bag? It was here this morning.
Do you have any inventory?
Sorry, sir. The last one was taken by that lady.
Ms. Li. Such a coincidence. You're shopping alone?
I'm not surprised at all to see you
take your little sister to shop.
Isn't that so? Let me ask you something.
She wants to buy the purse you have. Resell it to me.
Why would I give the purse I like to you?
Manager Chen, so surprised to see you.
Manager Gu?
I thought Ms. Li was shopping alone. Turned out you're with her.
So your relationship is like...
None of your fucking business. Asshole.
I'm not here to fight you. Name a price.
Manager Chen. It's not very polite to do it.
Everything has a price.
I always get what I want.
Manager Chen, I'm so worried about your social skills.
Do you know who we are?
No matter how much?
Manager Chen, let's just...
Right.
I don't like this purse that much. Maybe we should resell it to him.
What about this price?
300,000 RMB. Final price.
How much?
Three hundred thousand.
This bag was only twenty or thirty thousand RMB. What you're saying is ten times that.
Didn't President Cheng just say that as long as we'd sell this,
there wasn't anything you wouldn't pay, right?
If this three hundred thousand is for something beloved, it's worth it.
President Chen, that's too...
Credit number?
It's here.
Delighted.
[ICBC credit card, 300,000 RMB]
There's what you wanted.
Thank you, President Chen.
To earn money you have to understand people. You know what a man's greatest weakness is?
Face [respect].
So, you plan to rely on men's weaknesses to earn money?
Young lady, to me that sounds a little dangerous?
What do you know? This is called a business mindset.
- Oh, no! - What's wrong?
I left all my stuff in that new bag we gave President Chen; even my keys are in there.
- Hello. Who's this? - President Cheng, please don't touch the stuff I left in that bag.
You already earned so much profit from me, what does the stuff inside matter? I'll treat it as mine.
Nonsense. My care keys are inside.
Keys?
Okay. You can get them at Si Meiqi in half an hour.
No, wait...hello...hello.
What did he say?
Go to Si Meiqi.
I just knew it.
Okay.
Simple, right?
Si...Simple.
Then, who will be first?
Report, Master Lin. Hui Xiong's fingers are very nimble. this type work suits him best.
Unified. Beautiful.
Then, here you go.
I'll try it.
Just you wait!
Be careful not to catch your hand.
[Beauty App]
Jinyuan
Hurry. You're up next.
- Where is President Chen? I'm looking for Chen Zheng. - Chen Zheng?
The guy on this poster. - You mean Chen Zheng?
President Chen is doing a live recording. - How do get there?
Turn right just ahead.
Thank you. Excuse us.
Honored judges, hello. I'm number one.
My surname is Li. I'm called Li Goudan.
I'll be performing for you. Looking at the clothing I'm wearing,
you can all see.
Where did these contestants come from?
Good enough.
What kind of martial arts was that?
Master, this is a creative style martial arts.
I think that in this modern era, the most important thing is creativity.
And creativity is both variety and crosses borders.
Halloween isn't here yet. How about we take another look at you when then?
Old-fashioned understanding.
I'm number two. I'm called Xiao Shanzhu.
I'll be using a hip ukelele
to sing a song for you. Thank you.
♫ I've heard that you've never seen twenty-five thousand ♫
♫ If you don't try, you'll never know. ♫
Stop. That's like stepping on broken glass.
- Who will give me some ear plugs? - How about you give us some blindfolds?
Next!
This is terrible.
Hello, masters. I'm contestant ten.
I'm a little fairy that everything on earth absolutely loves.
The performance I'll be doing is showing my skill playing the Xiao xiao.
Okay. Enough...Stop.
Older Brother.
Uh...is that a musical instrument or an instrument of torture?
Formal music can't be understood by the common people.
I don't want to understand you. Next!
He's being pretty harsh.
Honored judges, hello. I'm candiddate number five, Cheng Meizi.
I've prepared a dance for everyone.
Cheng Weizi...
This is pretty good.
Stop.
Leather boots, super-short skirt, crop top.
This young lady's figure is quite good.
But, why would you dress like some sort of hippie to participate in an electronic music event?
Also, if I'm not mistaken you've put on some sort of smoky makeup.
Is it to look like you've been hit?
I think it looks good. And it adds personality.
What you want isn't that important. What you like doesn't represent beauty, you know?
Hey, Qianyi, bring out a mirror so she can look at herself.
No. You don't need to do that.
Actually, your qualifications aren't bad. How about I just let you go.
- Look at yourself. - Here, take this.
Look and see if you don't look overdone. - What are you going to do. Jinyuan.
Hey, look at the woman beside you. She has an aura about her.
Whoa, Chen Zheng, you've gone too far.
This is a talent competition you yourself arranged.
Is it so you can make frivolous remarks about women; make personal attacks on them. Who do you think you are?
A lot of people came on stage today.
Then let me tell everyone about your great Judge Chen's true colors.
When this Judge Chen Zheng was in middle school, people gave him a nickname.
Jin Mu Shui Huo [the five elements of Chinese philosophy]
Why? He was so lame!
So people like him knows nothing about aesthetics and fashion.
He was puking nonsense!
Girl, in future, you can wear whatever you want.
Don't listen to nonsense from useless people like him.
He got a mirror to humiliate you?
Good. On point.
Where's the stuff?
I didn't expect you to remember my nickname after so many years.
Stop the nonsense.
Bye.
Let's go. Why are you staying?
Manager Chen, should we cut off what happened in post production?
Why cutting it off? Keep it. It's gonna go viral.
This...
Don't be stupid. Put it online, understand?
If we put it on too late, it won't trend anymore.
Got it. I'll work on it now.
My old classmate.
How can I repay you for doing me such a big favor?
There's nothing you want to tell me?
What is there to tell you?
Ning Weikai has got every small supplier on board and they're ready to roll.
Chen Zheng also found many channels to raise money and work on the reserve.
He also tried his best to expand the influence of the contest.
May I ask, what did you do over on your side?
Grace, you know everything.
About the Ankada project, if you have any new idea,
I hope you can tell me
Not like this, it's like you're hiding everything from me.
Actually, Ankada's project
is very profitable. But Aida can't process it.
So you want to quit the project?
you plan to give up?
Then why did you meet Chen Zheng?
The truth is, Aida wants to use Ankada as a cover.
we plan to produce our own brand.
So I can say you're taking advantage of me.
You're using me to stall Simeiqi and New Baorui.
Is that what you mean?
I originally wanted to find a more suitable time to say it.
Suitable time? If I didn't invite you out today,
when will it be a "suitable" time?
Grace, don't be mad.
You treated me like a chess piece.
In order to get the project for you,
I specially arranged an interview with Chen Zheng
and his daughter.
I've utilized all my connections for you. Now you're telling me it's a lie?
What should I tell my friends and my company?
You want me to tell them that all of us were used by you? Is that what you meant?
I was afraid to leak the information.
You do need tricks and strategies in the business world.
But you have to tell your business partners about your plan.
This is a basic trust issue.
If you don't trust your business partner today,
then I think
there's no foundation for us to cooperate.
I don't like people who don't respect me. So I'm sorry.
I've lost my appetite. Enjoy your meal. I'll go now.
It's my fault not to inform you as soon as possible.
Since the day the H Group invested in Aida,
Aida has stopped being your personal venture.
I have the right and duty to know every move and decision Aida makes.
If you keep being like this,
I may need to rethink our partnership.
Grace, it's my fault to hide it from you.
But I believe we can talk about it in a sensible way.
I believe you've also had moments that you had to pull some tricks when doing business.
It's not a betrayal. I was just trying to achieve my goal in a faster and better way.
My elder brother used to say in his letter to me:
He started the brand because you encouraged him to do so.
So I've always believed you also wanted Aida to start its own brand.
That's why I took the risk to do it.
♫ I gazed at you without being reserved. ♫
♫ I stopped hiding my obssession for you. ♫
- No. - Why?
This is the hardest time for you to start a brand.
I have so many connections. Why don't you want my help?
You walked a long way, starting from getting ads and interviewing people,
to become the chief editor. How can you quit at this time?
I can take care of Wenda's matter.
But Wenda's design team all jumped ship to New Baorui.
How will you resolve it?
Grace. Listen to me.
You focus on doing your work well.
You don't have to worry about Wenda.
It's tough for every brand to start out.
But I have confidence. Trust me.
We can succeed.
But you've helped me a lot.
I really want to do something I'm capable of for you.
Is that ok?
♫ Dressed in a white dress, ♫
Listen to me.
♫ In your writings, ♫
♫ it's full of tenderness. ♫
♫ The night scene we were familiar with the most ♫
♫ Made us feel something new. ♫
♫ We've flipped through memories
we will cherish till we grow old ♫
The shrimp tastes so good. It's a full shrimp.
Why looking at me?
You're so cool today.
Of course. I always lend a hand when someone needs help.
Sometimes you can be so cruel when cursing someone. I kind of feel bad for Chen Zheng.
Stop the nonsense. You were cruel too when selling him that purse.
You look like a gentleman from the outside,
but you're truly evil from the inside.
I'm learning from the best. I turn red cuz I'm close to red stuff.
Come here.
What? Approach closer.
What?
What are you doing?
You said it, you're turning red cuz you're close to something red. I'm giving you two cinnabars.
Looks amazing.
Meizi, you're trending now.
When I tried to schedule a facial on Xinyang app,
I saw you on the headline.
The video about you being on the beauty contest sponsored by Xinyang
is all over my Wechat moment.
It doesn't matter if you like it or not. You like it doesn't mean it's beautiful, understand?
Qianyi, give her a mirror and let her take a look.
It's OK.
Actually, you have some potential. Otherwise, I would've let you go a long time ago.
No matter way, you've done something you want to do. I don't have that kind of courage.
Meizi. Come downstairs.
I gotta go. My dad asked me to go downstairs.
Dad, what's up?
What's the matter with the video?
- Well... - Tell me!
My dream is to be a model. Nobody can stop me.
Including you.
Your dream? Your dream is to be humiliated by someone?
I know. You think I embarrassed you.
But such a small obstacle
means nothing to me. I don't care.
Even you don't care, I care!
I've raised you for 20 years. Did I do it to have you humiliated?
- Dad. - I've told you, you can't be a model.
Why don't you listen to me?
Now you're humiliated. Happy?
Let me tell you again. This is the end.
This will be the last time.
