" Our Glamorous Time "
Episode 21
Add another 20 hotline for our customer service.
We have to make sure that all the calls can come through.
Prepare the first batch of flash sales.
Roger that.
Our network department needs to rearrange our page every 5 minutes.
For this 520,
Xin Bao Rui has to be successful in this battle.
Every department on standby. Starting from now,
we'll have a total of 24 hours.
This 520 operation is up to all of you now.
Fighting!
- Where is Lin Qian? - She's in the office.
She is ready to rearrange the stock at any time.
Five! Four!
Three! Two!
One!
The shopping channel is opened now.
Look. It has started.
Let's grab it, everybody.
Let the numbers fly.
Increase the advertisement in various major electronic billboard...
and social networking sites.
Roger that.
Y Fancy is having quite a good momentum.
Chill it for another 30 minutes.
A champagne has to be chilled enough to taste good.
Understood.
An ugly war is upon us.
And you still have the mood to taste the wine.
Because this is an ugly war,
we have to be more calm and collected.
Find me the sales data of Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi.
Roger that.
Director Chen.
Aren't you going to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine?
Can this drink dampen my anger?
Do you know that the Y Fancy's sales have exceeded ours?
Their sales are going to increase more later.
Quickly think of a solution then.
Let's just wait.
Wait?
Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
We have to wait until they launch their draw lots system.
Or else, our Project Dove...
wouldn't work.
It's time to act.
Alright.
Looks like Ai Da's life span...
is starting to tick away.
We'll launch our 520 draw lots in 10 minutes' time.
We have an emergency situation. A hacker.
He has infiltrate our company's internal system.
Only a hacker can sign in to our company's internal system...
and change our account's password.
We just took in a batch of newcomers before this.
But from their entry information, we couldn't find any clues.
Ask Grizz to keep an eye on all of the newcomers.
If he sees anything suspicious, take action immediately.
Wasp, upgrade our firewall before they can do more damage.
- Do it. - Roger that.
Our sales are increasing. We have a good momentum.
Keep up the good work.
- Where is Lin Qian? - She's in the office.
She sent me here to gather information.
- Why won't she come? - For a designer,
this is an important test. Of course she is nervous.
Why did you come?
The battle of 520 has started.
Aren't you going to take a look?
I don't dare to.
When I applied for University of York,
I don't dare to open up my mailbox to check on the admission result.
I have the same feelings now.
But in the end, you are admitted.
The situation is different now.
This time, my designs for Y Fancy...
are trendy designs that I've never tried of.
No matter it's the design style or the price,
I can't guarantee that the public can accept it.
It's five thirty now. Launch the Lucky Egg Draw.
We have launched it.
Their lucky draw has started.
Director Chen, you have calmed down already, right?
Ning Wei Kai.
Have you always known that Ai Da is going to...
launch their lucky draw at this time and so, you are playing with me?
I don't know about the time.
I just know that when a businessman is facing some profits,
his only concern is to maximise the profits.
And the outcome of a business battle...
often depends on which party...
is the calmest during critical time.
This is an important battle. Do not slack off.
Come on.
What is that?
For every 100,000 turnover,
the bell will ring once.
Does this mean that...
our sales have reached 100,000?
Let's take a look outside.
I...
Alright.
106,000.
107,000.
108,000.
109,000.
11 thousands!
That's great!
We have a great momentum.
Keep it up. Don't slack off. Come on.
The people in Li Zhi Cheng's company must be ecstatic right now...
because their sales are good.
No matter what,
come.
Nice working with you.
Why are there so many first prizes?
I've set only 10 first prizes.
But now, it's more than 10.
Is our system hacked?
Wasp, check it out, quick!
Roger that.
I've found out about it. The opponent has inserted...
a virus called Gray Dove. It's very dangerous.
We can solve the problem only when we shut down the back-end.
Shut down the back-end?
What if we don't shut it down?
According to the previous setting, we'll have 2000 first prizes.
Are you saying that we might have to give out 20 million worth of prizes?
That's right.
Deal with it immediately.
Alright.
Why will this happen?
I have to go to the toilet. Help me take care of it.
Sister, it's time for you to go.
You have a dinner date with François at six.
Help me cancel it.
Why?
It's not easy for you to meet up with him.
He purposely flew here all the way from New York.
I have to go out to settle some things.
Just tell him that I'm letting him adjust to the time difference.
After I'm done, I'll meet up with him straight away, alright?
- Help me explain it to him. - Sister.
But, sister.
Where is Xiao Gao?
Xiao Gao has left Ai Da.
Tie up the loose strings.
- I understand. - Go.
I think Li Zhi Cheng never expected this from us.
I think their company must be in a chaos right now.
You are quite weird.
We are going to succeed.
But you look so unhappy.
This war is not yet over...
until the last moment.
Wasp and his team are doing their best to restore the system.
But the situation is not looking up.
My suggestion is to shut down the page and stop the sales.
We can't stop. The draw has just started.
We just make a breakthrough. If we stop, it'll affect our momentum.
If we do as you say and give out those 20 million,
then all of our hard work before this will be down the drain.
As long as our turnover tonight exceed 100 million,
we can manage.
Exceed 100 million?
You are gambling, you know that?
If our turnover couldn't reach one hundred million by tonight,
our company will suffer a huge loss.
Tonight, I'll make Y Fancy into a standing brand...
so that it can storm the net.
Then, as a co-designer, it'll bring success to Lin Qian.
Don is very famous already.
It doesn't matter that Lin Qian can't make a name for herself this time.
She's a raw talent. She'll shine eventually.
We still have next time.
Director Li, it's too big of a loss.
How about we give it up.
I'm the boss. I'll bear the responsibility.
- Wasp. - Here.
Continue to run the page. Don't shut it down.
Roger that.
You look pale.
Ya Yi.
Come here.
Bring her back to have a rest.
- She has a fever. - Alright.
Go, have a good rest.
Let's go.
Yan Zhi.
You look quite cute when you are mad.
When everything has settled down,
Let's have a feast together.
Go to Monkey to look at the situation.
We have to recover our system quickly.
Alright?
Boss. It's my fault for being careless.
Xiao Gao is the hacker. He has already escaped.
I'll find somebody to give chase now.
No need to chase after him. Report to the police now.
Ask Wasp to hand over Xiao Gao's entry documents to the police.
How is it?
This hacker is good. He modified the topology.
You have to be quick, Monkey. How much time do you need?
Say something, how is it?
Every second counts.
Don't rush me.
He's gone deep. I have to decrypt it layer by layer.
Look at the numbers, it's still increasing.
What should we do? Let me tell you,
a lot of people are discussing about this on the net now.
They say it might be Ai Da's scam for giving out huge amount of rewards.
Continue with your work.
It's 12 million right now, brother.
Don't be anxious.
I've found a way to reboot the system.
Quickly.
Rebooting.
Why is there another layer of password?
No, we can't wait anymore.
Hello, boss, it's 13 million now.
Can't we shut it down?
I said no. Continue with it.
The rewards are going to reach 15 million soon.
If we shut down the system now, we can still manage it.
If we don't,
we might lose our only chance to turn the tables.
Give it a little bit more time.
Every increase on this screen is the loss of some serious cash.
Don't just look at the bonus. Look at the sales too.
- 16 million now. - They are buying our products now...
because of the lucky draw.
That's the only way to increase our sales.
If we stop now, it'll be for nothing.
Yes. But you can't guarantee that our system can be fixed, right?
You have to think of it's consequences.
It's still a long way to go until the end of 520.
By the end of the day, not only Ai Da is incapable of paying them,
we might even lose Wen Da.
Now, our sales has exceeded 70 million.
Without the bonus, we are still profiting from it.
If we give up now,
they will say that Ai Da is a company that goes back on their word.
That's why we have to gamble with it.
As the vice CEO of this company,
I can't let you gamble with Ai Da and Wen Da.
Decrypting the password.
10 digits.
Six digits.
Well done.
Monkey.
Self-destruction program?
18 million now.
Listen, my bottom line is 20 million.
Once we hit this number, I'll shut down the page immediately.
Director Li, don't be stubborn.
We've stopped it. We've succeeded.
19.77 million! We've stopped it at 19.77 million.
They really managed to stop it.
No worries. So much time has been lost.
They can't save the day even if they managed to stop it.
Their loss is close to 20 million.
They'll either lose their money or their reputation.
They'll lose anyway.
There won't be any problems with the hacker, right?
Don't worry, Director Chen.
Even if they caught the hacker,
he knows clearly...
what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
The one who is in knots right now is not us,
but Li Zhi Cheng.
I learned about two proverbs today.
'Irrevocably but unwillingly committed' and...
'trapped in an impossible situation'.
You said that you are not tired but you doze off as soon as you lie down.
Are you awake?
Just on time. I've made you some medicine.
Quick.
Finish up the medicine.
You'll get better soon.
It's not hot anymore.
Come, drink it.
You didn't even take good care of yourself even though you are sick.
How would you fare if I'm not here?
Are you feeling better?
I'm still worried.
I want to go down and take a look.
No, Lin Qian the little kid.
You have to sleep for 5 more minutes.
I'll wake you up after 5 minutes, alright?
Listen to me. I'll definitely wake you up after 5 minutes.
- Just 5 minutes, alright? - Just 5 minutes.
You lack of sleep right now.
You can recover faster after a good night sleep.
Careful with your head.
Something happened to Ai Da's lucky draw.
There are too many negative reports right now.
I hope that you can use all of the resources you have...
to push back all of these negatives reports.
Sister Grace, don't worry.
We'll take good care of...
Ai Da's public relations' crisis.
I'll leave it to you then. Keep in touch if there is any problem.
Alright. We'll go back to make some preparation.
Grace.
This is inevitable.
Take the call.
Hello, Grace.
What is happening?
It's like this.
A hacker infiltrated our system and modified the code.
And the bonus has exceeded our limit.
But we managed to identify the hacker...
and stop the damage on time.
Stop the damage?
It's almost a 20 million worth of problem.
How are you going to deal with it?
Since we've already given out the bonus,
fulfilling our promise is the only choice we have.
Director Li,
I hope that you won't use the gamble between you and Ning Wei Kai...
for a little entertainment, alright?
Compared to the gamble,
I care more about Ai Da's reputation.
Even if I have to quit from the fashion industry in Linhai,
I'll make sure that Ai Da's brand will take root among the masses.
I respect Director Li's decision.
Thus, I'll pay every cent of this 19.77 million bonuses to our clients.
Has Li Zhi Cheng gone mad?
He's going to give out the bonus.
Looks like Li Zhi Cheng is going to...
commit himself irrevocably to fight with us now.
Does he plan to sacrifice Ai Da?
What do you think is more important to Li Zhi Cheng?
Ai Da's reputation...
or the bonuses that are given out?
Since he dared to make such an announcement,
he must have had some corresponding countermeasures...
to minimise the loss of Ai Da.
If our turnover can exceed 80 million,
it'll be a good income for Ai Da.
80 million?
Have you thought about how to achieve this 80 million?
Grace.
You are one of Ai Da's shareholder.
You have the power to decide.
We have to act fast. So, you have to decide fast too.
I don't think this is something that is easily achievable.
If that's the case, this will be our last-ditch battle.
Just now, Director Li has asked Wasp to add...
another 23 million bonuses into the system.
And only those who have spent more than RMB 3000...
are eligible for the lucky draw.
I think this can heat up the sales again.
This is a good idea.
If we can spread this news on the internet,
I believe it'll make a stir.
Grace, you are an expert in media. Do you have any suggestions?
Don't worry about the media.
I've already took care of it.
As soon as this announcement hits the public,
it'll definitely make the headline of various major websites.
And then, Ai Da's corporate image...
and Y Fancy's popularity will sky-rocket.
You really know how to do things properly.
With Grace's supports on the net,
I believe that we can win this battle of public relations.
Director Gu, take a look. The announcement is out.
Director Gu.
All those social influencers are talking about it.
And the number of views is increasing exponentially.
- Good. - And our turnover is increasing...
at a faster rate compared to just now.
Keep up the good work!
Looks like all the reviews...
about Ai Da are very positive.
If it continues like what you've predicted,
what should we do?
During this critical moment,
the only thing we can do...
is to lower down the price.
Now, it's a fight of market share with Ai Da.
I don't agree with that.
Don't forget that...
in this critical moment,
none of us can back out now.
You better think clearly too.
The contract I signed with you is about replacement of resources.
But now, you want to use Si Mei Qi...
to fight with Li Zhi Cheng.
The thing between you and Li Zhi Cheng...
is between Xin Bao Rui and Ai Da only.
It has nothing to do with Si Mei Qi.
Director Chen.
Think carefully.
If you leave now,
what about your order with An Ka Da?
Those factories that you've found...
have long-term contracts with Xin Bao Rui.
Ning Wei Kai.
Are you threatening me?
I'm not threatening you.
I'm reminding you.
If Ai Da seizes the upper hand in online sales this time,
with your current modus operandi,
you won't be able to fight with Ai Da in the future.
If we lose this battle,
Si Mei Qi will be dead before Xin Bao Rui.
You are right.
We'll do it then.
Gao Lang.
Do as I say.
I understand.
Ning Wei Kai.
This time, Si Mei Qi is lowering their price to gain more profits.
So for this battle,
failure is not an option.
I know.
We have exceeded 100 million!
That's great!
- We have exceeded 100 million! - It wasn't an easy feat!
We have exceeded 100 million!
Director Li, Director Gu, something happened. Come take a look.
We have exceeded 100 million!
I just refreshed the page.
I found out that Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi is lowering their price again.
They gave a discount of 20 percent on their original price.
Everybody has make a mad rush for their products.
Have they gone mad?
Before this, they gave a promise of lowest price...
but they are giving a discount now.
Most of the customers before this will definitely return the goods.
Xin Bao Rui turnover has exceeded ours.
And it's still increasing.
What should we do? We have run out of bonuses.
And they are doing a discount now.
Most of our clients will be attracted to them.
Ning Wei Kai has only victory in mind.
He sacrificed the cost and violated the market rules.
How is he going to answer to Zhu Corporation?
He's willing to sacrifice so much to take down his enemy.
Looks like he's really furious now.
Stand still! Don't run!
You have nowhere to run.
Don't struggle. Let's go!
How is it?
Xiao Gao is caught by the police.
Have you passed the evidence of his crime to the police?
After I found out about the hacker, I've put a tracking program...
on every computer in the network department.
I've kept all of his log in records.
His action has made the company lost millions.
Why would he do that?
Either it's because of greed or someone is behind all of it.
Luckily we are able to recover the system on time...
and take care of Xiao Gao.
Or else, I can't imagine the damage that he will cause.
Let it go.
We managed to save the day anyway.
Continue to secure the network.
- No mistake this time. - Alright, I'll do it right away.
Although Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi have exceeded us,
still, Ai Da's turnover has exceeded 100 million.
Don't wear such a long face.
Relax.
I'll go to the police station.
What are you doing? Go back to rest.
I'm worried. I want to go down to take a look.
We have exceeded 100 million. Go back to rest.
Exceeded 100 million?
Then I really have to go down and take a look.
Go back to rest now.
This is an order.
You've worked overtime for quite a few days now.
And you are sick.
If you rest now, maybe you can recover by tomorrow.
I can't let you run about with that sick body of yours.
- I'm worried about you. - I'm fine.
I want to go down to take a look and keep them company.
My brother is not here anyway. Nobody will worry about me.
I care, I worry about you and I like you. So I won't let you do it.
You...
You did you say just now?
Report!
I, Li Zhi Cheng...
like Lin Qian.
The earth will be the witness.
Oh my goodness.
The way you confess...
is too blunt.
Can't you be more gentle?
When love comes,
I can feel your gentleness.
I don't know if I'm being impulsive or I'm being moved.
When you lower your head,
I'll say that your heartbeats...
make me run out of words.
Lin Qian.
I like you.
Be my girlfriend.
When did you start to like me?
When you are testing out the turnover jacket.
You look exceptionally beautiful...
when you lie down in the water.
Alright, enough!
Why did you confess to me during time like this?
Because I'll have a higher rate of getting a reward...
if you are sick.
You are too cunning.
Go and work first.
Quickly, go.
I won't retreat if you don't agree.
I believe.
I believe you understand it as well.
Your appearance...
is the prettiest touching moment.
I believe.
From now until forever,
we'll sit until we are old and Gray...
inside a frame.
Brother, you don't know how thrilling it is.
When I saw the number of the bonuses...
keep on increasing,
it's the first time I feel hurt for money.
I almost fainted.
I've been keeping an eye on the data dynamics of 520.
Not once did Li Zhi Cheng consider to stop?
He's good.
That's right. He's very decisive, so handsome.
He won't budge when he made a decision.
But I never thought that he's so charismatic this time.
Charismatic? A man's charisma shouldn't be used on scheming.
I'm very worried that you have a boss like this.
Why?
Why, brother?
From the day you know him, every decision that he made is not simple.
When he planned the perfect escape to bring Ai Da out from Wen Da,
created a distraction with An Ka Da...
until he uses rewards as baits.
He's playing around with the thirty-six stratagems.
Uses rewards as baits?
This is an allusion.
He's done something unbelievable.
And he profits from it.
When others become aware of the benefits,
they'll swarm the place.
Li Zhi Cheng has made this into a reality.
He lets everybody believes that this is real.
In exchange, he gained a bigger profit.
In the end, everybody is dead set on following him.
No matter what he wants to do, there'll be no objection.
But because of this,
Ai Da can come out from the grasp of this difficult situation...
with such a high profit.
You are my sister. I understand your personality.
You are innocent, kind and responsible.
I'm worried that with a boss like this,
someday, he'll lure you into a pit with his bag of tricks...
and bury you alive.
And you won't know about it.
Brother, I won't allow you to talk bad about him.
I've agreed to become his girlfriend.
What? I won't agree to it.
Why won't you agree?
He used his tricks to make sure the survival and profits of the company.
This has nothing to do with feelings.
I just know that he treats me well.
Eat you medicine and meals on time.
If you disobey, you'll be punished according to military law.
He's quite nice.
I can't see his fault.
I really like Li Zhi Cheng.
After all these years, it's not easy...
to find somebody that is willing to use his life in exchange for love.
Nobody else can fill the void in my world except him.
You can't stop this.
I don't want anybody else besides him, understand?
I understand.
Oh my goodness.
I've send it to the wrong person. This is to scare off my brother.
Please don't misunderstand.
Let's have some breakfasts.
You've worked hard for a night. I've bought you some breakfasts.
- Come and eat. - Time to eat.
- Time to eat! - Sister Lin Qian.
Don't push. One by one. Everybody will have one.
Come.
Time to eat.
Why did you come down?
Are you feeling better?
I'm feeling better.
I can't help much.
I can only buy you a breakfast.
- Have you eaten? - I have.
I don't know what further plans do you have.
But I believe that Ai Da will get better and better.
You can't reach the goal in one step.
Relax.
Don't exhaust yourself.
If you have any difficulties, we can deal with it together.
By the way, how's the situation?
Until now, we haven't been able to surpass Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi.
Don't look so down.
This time, Ai Da has accomplished more that we can ever imagine.
Furthermore, all of us will stay with Ai Da until the last second.
Things might take a turn for the better.
Monkey is right. Let's quickly eat...
and work hard after that.
- Alright. - Alright.
Keep up the spirit.
Take a look.
I just came back from the police station.
Xiao Gao is in custody right now.
What about the details?
He has already explained to the police.
He made a profit of 3 million from this hacking incident.
And the police said that they will help us recover the money later.
And his confession is,
he's the only one behind this incident.
He's not instructed by anybody.
This is expected.
Making a chess piece his scapegoat.
Who do you think it is?
I've settled everything with Xiao Gao.
His family needs this money.
He won't betray us.
So you have to...
prepare the money and quickly send it to his family.
This time, he became our scapegoat.
We have to take proper care of his family.
Don't worry, Director Ning. We will treat them fairly.
I never thought that...
Li Zhi Cheng actually procure the evidence...
and successfully filed the case.
Now I feel guilty towards Xiao Gao.
If it wasn't for you, he can't solve his financial problems.
So, this is a win-win situation.
