[ Our Glamorous Time ]
[ Episode 15 ]
Manager Wu. I'm actually here to ask you a favor.
Aida really wants to enter Danzi Plaza.
We can talk about the terms later.
Although I think highly of you two,
But I have my concerns.
Danzi Plaza has many hard requirements on brands.
At this moment, Aida is not qualified.
Manager Wu, we totally understand your concerns.
- Manager Li is a young elite who just came back to Linhai City. - It's OK.
Even if we don't close the deal. We can still be friends.
I have a plan.
- What plan? - Since Aida is not prestigious enough,
why can we borrow from another force?
- What do you mean? - Do you know Fancy?
It's an American fashion brand. The founder is a famous Chinese American named Don.
They had been searching for designers in China a while ago, aiming to start a subline in China.
Why can't Aida give it a try?
Will it work?
How do we know if it'll work or not if we don't try?
But we don't know Don.
That's not a problem. Our magazine interviewed him a few years back.
I can get his number very fast for you.
Hello, Cindy. Can you get the number of Don, the founder of Fancy for me?
Can you do your best, OK? I'm waiting for the good news.
If we can talk to Don. Then we can schedule a meeting with Manager Wu again.
Have you finished reading the plan? If anyone has questions or opinions, please let me know.
We don't need to wait for Manager Li?
He has something to tackle today. He won't be here. Let's get started first.
Our most fundamental requirement is to finish the order fast and efficiently and make money for Aida.
Lin Qian, we understand where you came from with your design.
But it's a matter of execution. We need to be practical.
Sorry to interrupt.
Manager asked me to do some research on Ankada's uniforms over the years.
From her sample, it's in line with the data.
Simeiqi's "Goddess in the Cloud" contest is a very concrete promoting event.
But personally I don't find this plan very attractive.
In a word, we want to know why it's necessary to use a specific sort of fabric.
OK. Let me do a demo for you.
- Yayi. - Here.
Halt. Turn right.
Leaders, hello.
Turn around. March.
Sir, how I can help you?
Look, this is a flight attendant's most common posture.
Comfortable cut on the waist has to be curve fitting.
But the skirt has to go over the knee.
So its safe.
The passenger's luggage is usually more than 5 kg.
When the flight attendant is pushing the suitcase, her shoulder will bear the force.
So the cut on the shoulder needs to include Liuqing thread.
Some passengers will have overweight luggage up to 45 kg.
To carry such a heavy suitcase, the fabric is the key.
We need to use elastic fabric. So the clothes won't break
or become ripped during movement.
So it's easy to make pretty clothes. But making it pretty is not our final goal.
Getting it done fast and efficiently is also not our goal. We only have one goal,
which is let people who wear the uniform everyday comfortable and care-free.
Manager Wu is so interesting. The moment he heard about we working with Fancy,
he agreed to rent us the storefront in Danzi Plaza.
Looks like Don is very important.
This is the power of a good brand.
Hopefully we can succeed.
I'm going back to the company. Today we are having the proposal meeting on the Ankada project.
- Lin Qian is going to present her work. - You haven't told Lin Qian?
This is what my plan is. I want to wait until the dust settles.
Until then, I hope she can do things she like.
I don't want her to be bothered by the business cheating.
Hopefully, the surprise won't be a shock for her.
If anything happens, please let me know. So I can have a good laugh as well.
Lin Qian has explained her design philosophy
to everybody in details.
Any question now?
If there's no question, let's start the vote.
Those who approve of Lin Qian's plan, raise your hand.
Sorry, I'm late.
I've read Lin Qian's plan. I think it's amazing.
Let's go with it.
Give me a finished biding document before the end of day.
You've been working hard today. If it weren't for your demo in the end,
who knows what the result would be? I'm sure Manager Li has seen your good performance.
- Maybe you'll be praised soon. - Awesome.
It' called preparing for 1000 days to perform in one day.
- That's right. - Speaking of Manager Li, it occurred to me that
when he came back to see your plan,
he was so out of breath. You guys saw it as well, right?
He clearly came back only to support you.
Did you feel a bit touched and moved?
Okay, okay. I'm very moved.
Then I hope we can keep working hard
until we sign the final contract. Let's move Manager Li with our action, ok?
Awesome. This is our duty.
- For the Ankada project, let's work hard together! - Go for it!
Li...
Yayi, don't bother me. I need to finish it before 7 pm and submit it.
♫ When love came, there was a special kind of tenderness ♫
♫ I'm not sure if it's impulsiveness or affection. ♫
Tell me the truth. Do you want to start a new brand right now?
I'm still thinking about it.
But I'll make it happen soon.
So you've been busy on this. No wonder you didn't pay much attention to
the Ankada project.
Good spots in a good business plaza needs to be booked in advance.
We need to get prepared. And you'll be in charge of the design.
That's not a problem. I only want to let you know,
I have to finish the Ankada project well first,
then I can start the design on the new brand. As a designer, I can't be distracted.
♫ Forgot to shed the tears. ♫
Do you think it's better to go with single breasted or double breasted?
Yayi, help me out.
Yayi.
I think single breasted style is better.
♫ I believe ♫
♫ I believe you'll understand ♫
You don't have to submit the plan now.
Tomorrow is fine.
Go back home earlier.
♫ Until a while later ♫
♫ We will sit together in the black and white ♫
♫ picture frame. ♫
Chief Wu, I'm sorry for letting you wait so long.
Why were you so urgently looking for me?
I actually wanted to tell you on the phone,
But I think it's better to tell you in person.
What actually happened?
About the storefront.
My boss Manager Zheng gave the storefront to the Zhu Group.
Wha...Wha... How could that be?
Did Zhu Hanchong talk to you?
Zhu Boyun did.
I didn't expect the storefront in Danzi Plaza would be taken so easily.
Chairman, you surely have an extensive network.
Many times, the stuff we fight so hard for
can be easily tackle by you with a word or two.
Sometimes simple stuff
has things behind that you can't see.
That's right. We have to give up on the storefront in Danzi Plaza.
I didn't expect Ning Weikai to make a move so fast.
It's my mistake. Sorry.
This matter can't be blamed on you.
There should be lots of other good options. Let's think about it.
I'll try my best to follow up on Don. Don't worry.
I don't believe that I won't be good in things I want to do.
After I graduated, I stayed in the art school.
At that time there was a students work that left a deep impression on me.
Later he passed the exam as I predicted.
But after the offer letter got sent out,
There hasn't been a reply.
I asked the driver to look for him at school.
And I found out his offer letter
was ripped apart by someone secretly.
He was lucky. I informed him on time
so he could get into college.
Chairman, you've helped so many people.
I didn't helped anyone but myself.
Those who can go to university are not ordinary people.
I'm not talking about someone else. Let's just say I was talking about that student earlier.
He is chief Zheng right now.
Looks like i have a lot to learn from the chairman.
Don't be too polite.
But I still need to sincerely tell you.
If it was changed in someone else.
I wouldn't have bothered to
ask my old friend for help.
Because when I look at you. It remind me of that time when I looked at Chief Zheng.
You are all people who can succeed.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Not just help. I trust you.
When you're in the business world for a while,
you will know how valuable
trust can be.
What are you doing?
Why can you suddenly open the USB drive?
Didn't you tell me it was broken in Yunnan?
I've fixed it.
But all the pictures are all gone.
There have been a few more folders. But I can't open them.
Look, I can't open it. It feels so weird.
Smells good.
You did good.
We finally got Lin Qian's location.
Right. This is the location.
[ Aida Group ]
♫ It's still dark outside. ♫
What's the matter?
♫ The smoke has blurred my view. ♫
The result was bad?
The deal is off.
♫ But my affection ♫
Not getting the storefront in Danzi Plaza...Is it a big deal for the company?
♫ The moment you smiled. ♫
There were so many sacrifices but it was all for nothing.
In the beginning it was all hard work.
In the end there wasn't hope.
♫ Such a sweet scene. ♫
Is it that funny?
I've never imagened Aida's Group prince Li.
can be so upset like this.
What kind of person am I in your heart?
It's not the you right now.
♫ The bed is empty. ♫
♫ The lonliness lingers. ♫
I used to think although I knew nothing about the clothing industry,
as long as I tried hard, I would succeed.
In the end, I still put the company in a bad situation.
♫ The house we hid in. ♫
♫ And the sunny days. ♫
Do you know,
There is actually an energy balance rule in this universe.
As long as you work hard,
time will give you the best rewards.
Although we can't control everything,
as long as you aim at your goal,
the enemy will be destroyed. Nothing can stop you.
That's why I thought I had to get on it even if Aida was a sinking ship.
Because I believe in you.
♫ The black keys separated us. ♫
♫ The time was stopped by the fingertip. ♫
♫ Who can mute the world? ♫
Chief Cheng, we have been waiting for you.
Our bidding team is waiting for you upstairs.
You'll definitely see what you want to see in New Baorui today.
This way Chief Cheng.
As long as you aim at your goal.
your enemies will be destroyed. Nothing can stop you.
That's why I thought I got to get on it
even if Aida was a sinking ship.
Because I believe in you.
-Morning. -Morning.
How is it? How do I look today?
Is it pretty or not?
Pretty, pretty.
Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?
Hurry up! Chief Cheng will be here soon.
What's the matter?
Chief Cheng, won't be coming.
Why won't he come?
It means we've given up on the bidding.
Why?
The project is too big and too complicated for Aida.
We can't do it.
That can't be.
As long as Manager Cheng approves our design, anything is possible.
We can loan money from banks and individuals if money is a problem.
But the production issue can't be solved within a month, understand?
But we can't give up just because you say so.
Look, when we were trying to get the Mingsheng project,
the hardship was just as big.
But we pulled through.
Everything can be solved.
Sorry.
When did you decide to give up on the Ankada project?
After Manager Cheng showed me the terms.
But you...
Why haven't you told me?
You've been seeing me working hard and late everyday trying to get the project.
You didn't say a word.
Do you think my hard work is a big joke?
I thought Aida will have many other projects.
Even if we give up on Ankada's project, you can still work on other projects.
They are two different matters!
I'm a designer. I love my work and I'm responsible for my work.
Ankada's project is my heart and soul.
How can I give up so easily?
Sorry.
Now you say you want to give up. So all my hard work has been in vain?
Even if we give up on Ankada, we will have other projects.
Go work on it yourself.
You've ruined New Baorui this time.
Can you use your brain before you do something?
Don't you know Manager Cheng is old-fashioned?
He doesn't want his daughter to be to high-profile.
How could I know it?
Even if you don't know their family life,
at least you will know he's involved with people from the headquarter.
You've made Cheng Meizi's commercial
literally everywhere. You're forcing him to draw the line.
You want to kiss his ass but you end up biting the dust!
Chairman, it's my fault. I should've paid more attention.
I failed to control the commercial release situation in the company.
Ning Weikai,
now you act like the wise man.
Where were you then?
Enough. You always blame other people.
Okay, it's my fault.
Naive!
Chairman, don't be so mad.
Maybe it's not as bad you think.
Tell me why.
Now Simeiqi's production lines are all
going to be trapped by Ankada's order.
But the May 20th shopping festival is coming soon.
Such a vacancy is a big opportunity.
Now Aida is investing so much on their store
and new brand, aiming to get into the market.
That's exactly what they want.
As long as we stop Aida from starting their new brand.
I believe we will definitely win the May 20th shopping festival war.
You and Li Zhicheng
are both elites.
However, he doesn't have someone so powerful to back him up like you do.
Go do it. I support you.
Chairman, thank you.
The May 20th shopping festival
will be the best chance to stop Aida.
Don't lose the opportunity.
Got it.
Ankada Flight Attendant Uniform Bidding Document
It's such a big gift. Tell me how much.
Manager Chen, you don't trust me? Haven't we already worked together before?
It's different.
Previously we were fighting against Aida. We had the same enemy.
What are you trying to do today?
Manager Chen,
sometimes it's hard to make everything clear.
If I'm in the same shoes as you're in Simeiqi,
not having problem of doing lots of things, why would I need you to lend me a hand?
Lending you a hand? To attack the enemies and maintain your base?
That's a bad analogy.
I'm just trying to balance the force within New Baorui.
You're so bold.
What about Zhu Boyun?
How can I do what I want if I don't get rid of the obstacles?
I'll take the gift.
Good. Hope you can succeed tomorrow.
Come here, I have good news to tell you.
We've taken the Ankada project.
Awesome!
You've been working hard lately.
Before you get off work, go to the financial department
and get your bonus, ok?
Awesome!
We lost the bid together so we should bear the consequence together.
That's right, Ms. Lin. We just started to get a hand of it.
You don't want to keep teaching us?
Right, Qian Qian. If you leave,
what will Aida and Manager Li do?
He doesn't need me at all.
Sister Lin Qian, don't be mad. Let's talk it through.
If this project doesn't work, the next might will.
- Right? - That's right.
There will be no next project.
Don't say that. Can you think about it again? Don't go.
Sister Qian Qian.
Qian Qian, stop crying.
Gather around.
What are you doing?
Ms. Lin, without Manager Li's order,
we won't let you go.
That's right.
We are not involved anymore.
My contract is up.
He's no longer my boss and I'm no longer his employee.
Don't use his name against me.
Don't be mad, sister.
I'm not mad.
You're all amazing.
It's my decision to leave.
Don't let my decision affect your work.
Move.
Move now!
Stop bullying me.
Qian Qian!
If you quit, I'll quit. Wait for me!
Get on the car. I'll give you a ride.
I can just walk.
What happened to you?
Qian Qian, what's going on?
You can tell me everything.
I'm your senior fellow apprentice. Even if I can't solve your prblem,
if you tell me, you'll feel better.
I've invested so much in this project.
Because I think most design these days
only focus on the look
but ignore people's health.
I hope my design can make some change.
I also hope through my hard work,
my company can get the project.
But today, I was told the company has given up on it.
I feel like such a fool.
Nobody cares about my feelings.
Maybe in other people's eyes, my work didn't matter.
It's such a big strike for me.
I'm very disappointed in the company and myself.
Are you talking about the Ankada order?
Simeiqi has gotten the Ankada order.
So don't overthink.
I know, you invested 100% on the design.
But business is business.
Sometimes it's purely out of interest. You've done your best.
But in the end, design
sometimes is not the most important factor.
Don't lose hope on yourself because of it.
But we can always learn from our mistakes.
It's still a good chance for you to grow.
Let's go.
Senior fellow apprentice, thank you.
I've told you so much. I feel better now.
Why being so polite? We were just like this when we were in college.
I want to go back to college so badly. It was a simpler time.
Well, don't over think.
Let's go. Let me walk you out.
Let's go!
Who are you?
Doesn't matter. Go!
Go!
- Go! - Senior fellow apprentice!
Go!
Senior fellow apprentice!
Senior fellow apprentice! Senior fellow apprentice!
Who are you? What are you trying to do?
Where is it?
What are you talking about? I have no idea.
The USB drive.
USB drive? What USB drive?
What are you trying to do?
- Senior fellow apprentice! - Where is the USB drive?
Senior fellow apprentice...
USB drive...
USB drive... USB drive...
Now you can open the USB drive?
Didn't you tell me it's broken in Yunnan?
But the photos are all gone.
There are a few more folders. But I can't open them.
Kill him.
No! No! I l know where it is.
Where is it?
Lin Qian
The number you dialed is busy. Please try again later.
Qian Qian.
- Senor fellow apprentice. - Hurry.
Sit!
Are you OK?
Go find it.
How can I look for it when my hands are tied?
Untie her.
If you pull any tricks,
I'll kill him.
Don't use me to threaten her.
I'll find it.
No.
Hurry!
Are you fooling me?
Li Zhicheng.
Li Zhicheng, take it!
Run!
Trying to run?
