" Our Glamorous Time "
Episode 19
Wei Kai.
I've been thinking.
There must be someone behind...
the hacking that targeted you.
Is it someone from Ai Da?
Could it be Li Zhi Cheng?
This incident...
doesn't look like Li Zhi Cheng's modus operandi.
Although the Board of Directors supports you now,
they are actually discussing about you in private.
I don't have the power to shut their mouths.
It doesn't matter. Let them talk.
But if this continues, you'll lose your prestige.
It'll be harder for you to continue with your work.
My sister is right.
Although my father supports you,
the rest of the people are very unsatisfied with you.
You are a boss without empathy,
who will want to follow you?
Looks like President Zhu is very free today.
You have time to eavesdrop on us.
I didn't.
But you on the other hand,
Are you talking about something secretive over here?
Han Chong, talk properly.
But, sister.
Why did you keep siding with him?
Is he worth it?
Han Qing, follow me.
- He's here. - He really has no conscience.
- Keep your voice down. - What are you afraid of?
Worst comes to worst, I'll just do what he did.
I can just hop over to Ai Da.
Everybody.
I know that this is your lunch time.
I don't want to interrupt your rest.
But for the past two days,
there are indeed some false reports that affected all of you.
I just want to tell everybody here that...
I won't defend myself for this matter.
Director Ning.
So what you mean is, you admit that...
you are a villain that is treacherous?
Han Chong.
I came to Xin Bao Rui just to achieve a goal.
So you've betrayed...
your friends for your benefits?
I believe that my goal...
is the same as each and every one of you in here.
That is, to make Xin Bao Rui...
defeat every opponents...
and become the leader in this industry.
I remember that when I first came here,
Xin Bao Rui's market share...
ranked third.
As all of you know, when Xin Bao Rui is first established,
we are equally matched with Wen Da.
The chairman hopes that I can bring Xin Bao Rui out from that predicament.
In the four years since Director Ning joined our company,
our annual sales share is increasing at a rate of 35 percent.
Our last year's turnover had reached 230 million RMB.
We sit firmly in the first place...
for fastest growth in the clothing industry of Linhai.
So now, I want all of you to think carefully.
What did you go through all these years and what did you get?
While the other clothing corporations are regressing,
why are we the only one who is progressing?
Why can we achieve results that others cannot?
Why are we able to do things that others cannot?
It's because we have a conviction.
An unshakable conviction.
That is, in this war, we have to win.
We have to achieve victory.
Now, I want every one of you...
to listen to your heart.
Think about this number.
230 million.
This 230 million...
proves that how incredible and excellent all of you are.
I don't care who is being used...
because of their own weak will.
I don't care who is the...
weak one that cries because of our victory.
In this battlefield,
we'll always be the victors that walk in front.
We will always be the strong ones.
Look.
Things really travel fast through the net.
You've just given your speech this afternoon...
but it's all over the internet now.
But the netizens have switched sides again.
Now, you are favoured for your strength.
Our stock price will definitely rise again tomorrow.
Human heart is the most unpredictable...
but easily manipulated thing.
It means that your speech is very persuasive.
Hello, Miss Zhu.
I have some reports for Director Ning.
Carry on then. I'll be in my office.
How is it? Any findings?
Director Ning, I've asked a colleague of Reporter Cai.
Before this, she is very close to Han Chong.
If my guesses are right,
it's very possible that Zhu Han Chong had bought off Reporter Cai...
to twist and smudge your past in the news reports.
He wants to force you to resign with the power of the public.
It's Zhu Han Chong again.
Director Ning, how should we retaliate?
Now is not the time for internal battle.
Let him go for now.
After I'm done with Li Zhi Cheng, like deal with him.
Understand.
Junior, I've found out about the truth.
I'm sorry, I've wronged you.
How's your progress with the sample?
It's almost done. I'm checking it now.
By the way, Director Li,
My senior just sent me a WeChat message.
He said that the hacking last time has nothing to do with me.
He apologised to me.
So...
I have to apologise to you too.
I shouldn't suspect you.
And I shouldn't say something so unbearable.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologising? I'm not mad.
I said something so unbearable to you on that day, you are not mad?
I'm not mad, really.
Help me take a look at both of these clothes.
I'm meeting Don tomorrow.
I don't know which one to wear. Help me choose.
Don's brand is a trendy brand.
He won't like it if you are too solemn.
Wear something casual.
Alright, I'll go with your choice.
Gao Lang.
What time is Don's flight?
Are you prepared?
Director Ning. Don will reach Linhai at 10.
I've already decorated the place based on our plans.
Good day.
Are you Mr. Don?
Who are you?
I'm Gao Lang.
I was sent by Director Ning to give you a ride.
- Director Ning? - Yes.
But I remember Grace saying that she will be coming too.
I think Grace has something to do suddenly.
That's why she asked Director Ning to send me to give you a ride.
Alright then. Let me call Grace to confirm this with her.
How come there is no signal?
Mr. Don.
Maybe the signal in this airport is weak.
But your time is valuable.
How about we get in the car first?
That's weird.
Why I still can't get any signal?
Maybe it's because...
Linhai city is doing a thorough overhaul on the...
signal maintenance tower recently.
Maybe that's the reason.
Such a disappointment.
- Don. - Director Ning.
Welcome.
Come. Let's get inside.
- Gao Lang, continue with your work. - Alright.
Don, this way please.
This is Xin Bao Rui's design department.
Here...
Director Ning, the designers in your company don't need to come to work?
Maybe they went out to collect local cultural materials.
Don, let me show you to our other departments.
After they are back,
they'll visit you personally, alright?
Alright.
Let's go. This way please.
Grace.
Finally I meet you.
Director Ning.
Why didn't you tell me that you've given a ride to Don?
I've thought it's your arrangement to let Director Ning give me a ride.
Actually, it's fine. We are old friends anyway.
It doesn't matter who is the one giving you a ride.
Thank you.
Just that next time, don't let us wait so long at the airport for nothing.
It's quite strenuous.
Don, let me introduce you to them. These are designers from Ai Da.
They are ecstatic when they heard that you'll be coming to Linhai.
They said that they want to meet you at the airport.
So that they can learn something from you.
Meng Meng, Bu Fan, you...
Director Ning always said that we are the future stars.
But ever since we came into Xin Bao Rui,
we are not given anything important.
Then why did he hire us with such a high salary?
- What should we do? - How about quitting together?
Although Xin Bao Rui gave us a salary, it's too complicated.
This place is not suitable for us to focus on our designs.
I have the same thought too.
Compared to a high pay, I prefer to be in a team that is...
animated and focuses only in pursuing our dreams.
I want that too, but there is no team like that.
- That's not true. - Not true.
You are really something, Grace.
You just pull the carpet from under me.
You poached my whole designer team.
Director Ning.
We have been friends for so long.
Why do you treat me like an outsider?
What is yours belongs to me too, right?
Enough.
I don't care about your Mr. and Mrs. Smith's game.
But please don't waste my time...
on the battle between both of you.
Goodbye.
Don.
It's not like what you think it is, Don.
It's like this.
Don, although it's complicated,
we sincerely want to work with you.
- Don. - Grace.
I don't know what are both of you doing.
I hate this kind of theatrics the most.
So, I don't want to cooperate with either of you anymore.
I'm sorry. I understand your feelings.
But it's not easy for you to come to Linhai city.
How about you come to Ai Da with me?
All of the designers are here.
I'm sorry. But I need to take care of something else.
Don.
Who are you?
He's Director Li from Ai Da.
I don't care who he is. Ask him to lift off his hand.
I'm sorry.
At first, I want to wait for Grace to bring you to our company...
so that we can meet formally.
You have only one shot in this. And you have wasted it.
Wait. I'll take this to her immediately.
Lin Qian.
We have a situation.
- Come, tell her. - Ning Wei Kai made his move...
by bringing Don to Xin Bao Rui first.
But why didn't you chase after him?
Don will be more disgusted if we chase after him now.
Then we don't have any other ways now.
If you can't settle Don, everything else will be a mess.
And we will be the laughing stock for Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi.
Give me 10 minutes.
I'll talk to him.
Are you sure you can do it?
He's my senior.
I want to try.
Lin Qian, wait for me at the car park.
Alright.
Let's go, Ya Yi. You'll come with me.
Hello, Wasp. Help me to block an Audi A4201.
It's a Q7.
We have to secure this 10 minutes for Lin Qian.
Grizz, get your gear!
Quick!
Grizz, quick!
Wait for me, Wasp!
This...
The car is on Jinghai Road heading to the highway to airport.
Stop him.
Turn around. We are on your left.
What do you mean by this? I...
What are you doing?
What do you mean by this?
Listen. I'll call the police of you continue to be like this.
Give me 10 minutes. If I can't change your mind,
I won't bother you anymore.
Can you take a look at my design?
Just a glance.
Where did you get these patterns from?
I learned it when I was collecting cultural materials in Yunnan.
I've brought some samples.
Can you give me the rest of your time...
to let me show it to you?
Show it.
Wasp, come out when you are done.
Can you book a hotel for me?
So, you...
Book a hotel.
Alright.
You've altered your dress quite well.
Don.
It's really hard to secure this cooperation with you.
Thank you for trusting Ai Da.
She is the one I trust.
Finding a partner is like finding a lover.
As long as that partner is the right one, everything will be alright.
You have good taste. Lin Qian is our...
most promising designer.
And she is our lucky general.
- Sit. - Okay, I'll leave the rest to you.
Don, Lin Qian is the main designer...
for this co-brand in China.
What about the naming rights?
Okay.
Lin Qian.
I'll leave the naming of this brand to you.
Actually, I've thought about it for quite a long time.
I want to name it as Y Fancy.
A young Fancy.
Y Fancy.
Not bad. It's meaningful and it's easy to remember.
I have no objection.
I think that it's good too.
Y Fancy is energetic and youthful.
Perfect.
It's such an interesting day today.
So many surprises.
I hope that in the future, Y Fancy will surprise me every day.
Don't worry.
To commemorate the birth of Y Fancy,
we've decided to launch it on 520.
May 20?
Will it be too rush?
Let me be blunt, I will never allow Y Fancy...
to produce anything less than perfect.
Don't worry. We will ensure the quality of our products.
We'll make sure that it's more perfect that what you can imagine.
And Ai Da will do our best to manage Y Fancy.
Failure is not an option.
We'll make sure that the designs of Y Fancy...
will be more localised, more youthful...
and more suitable to the taste of Chinese.
Alright, since you don't have any objections,
I don't have any reasons to do so as well.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Ukraine.
- Ukraine. - It's a very beautiful country.
It's so beautiful.
I like it.
You are unwilling to be left out.
You've dug your own grave.
And you still have the mood to drink here.
You are really in the mood, Director Ning.
You are really vicious.
You poached my whole designer team.
I'm not as vicious as you.
You are such a sweet-talker on the surface.
But you've built up all your troops in secret.
Luckily, God is on my side.
Your designer happens to be a university student sponsored by me.
Do you want to congratulate me?
Come, drink to me.
Don't speak so highly about yourself.
All of us have our bag of tricks.
Just that you are doing it for Ai Da.
And I'm doing it for Xin Bao Rui.
At least I won't play with people's emotions.
Let go of me.
What are you doing?
I know that you are doing this for Li Zhi Qian, right?
Because of him, you are willing to do anything no matter what it takes?
To deal with a person like you, I need to retaliate.
He's dead!
No matter what you do, he won't be coming back!
Even if he's dead,
he'll always be in my heart.
But you...
Let me give you an advice!
Don't play with my emotions again.
I feel very disgusted with your actions!
Let go of me!
Recently, Ai Da, the subsidiary company of Wen Da announced that...
Ai Da will be cooperating with Fancy, a trendy brand in America...
to launch their new brand, Y Fancy...
before the 520 shopping festival.
It'll kick off the annual sales with a new line of clothings.
The ex-soldier, CEO of Ai Da, Mr. Li Zhi Cheng...
has promised that...
they'll release Y Fancy on 520 with a bang...
so that they can support Wen Da.
Qian Qian.
You really have a superlative craftsmanship.
Embroidery is such an old-fashioned thing.
But with your makeover, it becomes so western.
Embroidery is an old handicraft.
But it's not old-fashioned.
No matter it's old or western,
most importantly, you gave it life.
The more I look, the better I think it looks.
But what kind of animal is this?
This is a picture of an ox used by the people to pray for fortune.
It represents new life and prosperity.
No wonder I don't know about it.
But how did you know?
When I went to collect cultural materials,
I learned it from the women in the village.
What?
You have gave away your trump card to Y Fancy?
You are not going to create your own brand anymore?
Of course I want to do it.
My goal has never changed.
But...
I used it because I have it now.
When I create my own brand,
I'll think of other new ideas.
How's your progress with Lin Qian now?
I don't mean to pry.
I just want to remind you.
Don't stare at me like that.
I just want to remind you.
Her contract will end soon.
If you don't think of a way to make her continue the contract,
I'm worried that later, she'll run away.
I won't let the person I want run away,
Very dominant.
But it's not enough to just have the correct attitude.
Sometimes, woman will value actions.
Wei Kai, it's time for the meeting.
Alright.
It doesn't matter if Ai Da has partnered up with Fancy.
Xin Bao Rui still hold an unshakable position in Linhai.
We just need to focus on the projects on our hands.
Thank you, Han Qing.
No matter what you do, I'll support you.
So will my father.
Thank you.
Chairman Zhu and my fellow chairman.
This time, it's really my mistake.
So I'm willing to accept the punishment...
meted out by the Board of Directors.
Alright. My fellow chairman.
The failure of the CEO in executing his work...
has led to a massive loss for the company.
What should we do about it?
Wei Kai, sit down first.
Xin Bao Rui has always been an independent brand.
Making a co-brand...
has never been in our strategic plan for Xin Bao Rui.
Although it's a pity that we can't...
cooperate with Don,
it won't affect the performance of Xin Bao Rui.
And it won't affect the Board of Directors' confidence...
towards Wei Kai.
Father.
The next important agenda is the 520 shopping festival.
Wei Kai, you can't treat this lightly.
Thank you, Chairman Zhu.
And thank you to my fellow chairman for your trust and support.
Next, for the 520 shopping festival,
I'll make sure that all of...
Xin Bao Rui's store-front profits and sales will hit number one.
Alright, the Board of Directors believes in you.
Father, this is unfair.
Shut up.
Father, why isn't he punished for his failure?
Is Xin Bao Rui his training ground?
You brat! What are you talking about?
Chairman, don't be mad.
This time, I'm the one in the wrong.
I need to be punished.
I'll make a military pledge in front of everybody today.
If our sales for 520...
do not hit the number one mark in Linhai city,
I'll resign from my position.
Wei Kai.
Alright, Director Ning.
I look forward to your performance.
Wei Kai.
Why did you make a military pledge?
You are too impulsive.
Sometimes, a dead end is exactly what we need.
It's not too bad to commit myself irrevocably.
Han Chong is too childish.
Don't be angry with him.
It's fine.
This is just a minor setback. I can take it.
What's your plan after this?
I'll think about it properly.
I'll think of an idea.
Director Chen.
Ai Da is cooperating with Fancy now...
to create Y Fancy.
They are going to launch it in the 520 shopping festival.
What do you think about this?
I have nothing against them.
Ai Da can be smug now that...
they are in line with Fancy.
You are really generous, Director Chen.
This is business.
Besides being smart,
we need to be generous too.
Am I right?
Because of beauty, I forgot about despair. Because...
I am lost.
Now, Si Mei Qi...
is stuck in An Ka Da's project. You can't do anything else.
And Xin Bao Rui...
has lost Fancy.
If Ai Da follow up a victory with hot pursuit,
they'll conquer the market during the 520 shopping festival.
You don't mind about that too?
The market is so big.
It all depends on our capabilities.
Whoever is capable can feel free to have it.
Director Chen, are you really that generous...
or do you plan to retire with...
this An Ka Da's project?
What are you trying to say?
Actually, we can replace our resources.
Xin Bao Rui can lend you our production line...
so that you can complete the An Ka Da's project earlier.
You can provide more of your network distribution resources.
We can work hand-in-hand...
to face this 520 battle.
Si Mei Qi can complete this An Ka Da's project independently.
We don't need Xin Bao Rui's production line.
Throw everything to the drain.
Alright.
Hello.
Who are you, jerk?
That driver is dim-witted.
He must have driven under exhaustion.
I think you are the dim-witted one.
It wasn't my fault that...
the God is not on our side.
Alright. I won't blame this on you.
Now, tell me.
What solution do you have?
Half of our products are gone. We can't make it on time.
We can only be truthful to An Ka Da.
We have to delay our delivery.
How long can we delay it?
Our production took one month.
Half is lost. We need to delay half a month.
Delay for half a month. How much is the compensation?
If we delay for 10 days, we have to compensate by 30 percent.
For 15 days,
we have to compensate by 50 percent.
One million.
Where will you get the money?
One million?
That much?
So we'll actually lose money for this An Ka Da's project?
So think of a way.
Quickly contact the people...
in the factory to work on it day and night.
Director Tie, if you can really help me out this time...
Director Wang.
I have an emergency. I really need your help.
It's about...
Chairman, I've already contacted the production factories...
in Linhai and it's surrounding cities.
They are busy with the 520 festival.
They can't help us.
I understand. Go out first.
Father, what should we do?
We can't force our production line too.
How about we plead Cheng Feng to give us a few more days?
Plead him?
Do you think he'll accept?
Alright, if you think you can do it, go ahead.
I'm just giving out ideas.
Can you give me a feasible idea then?
Now, it's better for you to think about...
which production factory in Linhai city...
that can help us with this.
I have an idea, father.
Director Chen, Director Ning from Xin Bao Rui is asking for you.
This time, Xin Bao Rui...
will definitely help you to go through this difficult time.
We can help you with the production of An Ka Da's uniform.
That's great.
You are willing to help Si Mei Qi...
when we are in a dire situation, Director Ning.
You have my gratitude.
Alright then.
Name a price.
We'll give it to you.
Chairman Chen, don't worry.
During this kind of time, we won't take advantage of your company.
We'll only charge you with the cost price.
If this is the case,
I think Director Ning has another kind of proposition.
Please take a look, Director Chen.
Actually, we can replace our resources.
Xin Bao Rui can lend you our production line.
As for Si Mei Qi,
I hope that you can provide...
more of your network distribution resources.
I believe that nothing is free in this world.
Since Director Ning can provide help in our hour of need,
Si Mei Qi will return the favour too.
I'll sign this contract.
That's great. You work fast, Chairman Chen.
Usually, I think that Ning Wei Kai is quite cunning.
I never thought that he's quite dependable during critical time.
Father, just now, I'm worried that you won't sign it.
Actually, a few days ago,
he talked to me about this.
We can replace our resources.
Xin Bao Rui can lend you our production line...
so that you can complete the An Ka Da's project earlier.
I didn't agree to it that time.
I was thinking that Si Mei Qi...
wouldn't have a chance to use Xin Bao Rui's production line.
Look. Such a coincidence.
Coincidence?
There is no coincidence in this world.
Father, what do you mean?
Think of it yourself.
Are you saying that Ning Wei Kai is related...
to the incident of our products?
You've done a good job this time.
But Director Ning,
Wouldn't it be too unworthy for us to lend out our production line...
to Si Mei Qi with a cost price?
We spend little to get an e-commerce platform.
It's a very worthy deal.
- Brat! I'll deal with him. - Sit down.
This is without proof.
We can't say it out no matter what.
But we are bullied.
If you don't want to be bullied, you have to produce evidence.
You don't have proof. How can you suspect Ning Wei Kai?
I suspect no one.
But it's an instinct for a businessman to bent solely on profits.
There is no such thing as provide help during dire needs.
