[ Episode 19 ]
Weikai, I was always thinking,
there must be someone behind the whole slandering.
Could it be someone from Aida? Could this person be Li Zhicheng?
This is not something Li Zhicheng would do.
Although the board supports you now, people are all gossiping behind the scene.
I have no way to force them to shut up.
Forget it, just let them talk.
But if you keep being like this you will lose people's respect.
And your job's gonna be hard later on.
What my sister said is correct. Even though my dad doesn't want to do anything with you
but the people down there had opinions about you a long time ago.
Cruel boss like you, who wants to work for you.
Little President Zhu's not so busy today.
No.
But you are probably talking about something despicable.
- Hanchong, talk well. - No, sister.
Why are you always on his side? Is it worth it for someone like him.
Hanjing, follow me.
He's here. This kind of people are ungrateful.
What am I gonna be afraid of. I could just jump the ship to Aida like he did.
Everyone, I know this is everyone's lunch time
and I don't want to interrupt everyone's resting time but these few days,
There are indeed some inaccurate news.
I want to tell everyone here that this issue
I'm not gonna explain myself.
President Ning, then what you mean is
So you admit that you are a renegade.
Hanchong!
I came to Xin Baorui to fulfill a goal.
For your own sake, you are willing to sacrifice your friends.
I believe that this goal is the same goal as everyone that's sitting here
which is to let Xin Baorui to defeat every opponent
To become the leader of this industry
I remember when I first came here, our Xin Baorui
The market share of Xin Bao Rui only ranks No. three.
Everyone knows, Xin Bao Rui were at the same level with Wenda
The president hope that I would lead Xin Bao Rui out of the mess.
During the four years at President Ning joined our Xin Baorui,
Our sales are growing by 35% each year.
Our sales reached 230 million Yuan last year.
We are the fastest growing company in clothing industry in Lin Hai.
So everyone please think it through right now.
What have you experienced and gained these years. Why at the time when other clothing company pulling away
but we are making progress. Why have we achieved what others couldn't?
Why can be do things that other people can't do?
Because we have one faith
a strong will, that in this battel
we are going to win. We are gonna win the final victory.
Now, please everyone, ask yourself
think about this number, 230 million Yuan
The 230 million Yuan is a proof of how great you guys are.
I don't care if anyone who's not faithful that's being taking advantage of
or any coward who hide behind the scene and cry for our success,
in this battle, we are always the winer
always the one who's in power.
Look at this. How fast it is spreading on the internet.
You just finished the speech at noon. By now it's everywhere online.
But all the internet comments are shifting its direction.
Now you have a lot of supporters gained from your ability.
Tomorrow the parent company's stock is gonna go up.
It's so hard to guess people's mind
but also so easy to manipulate.
But it also means your speech is brilliant.
Hello Ms. Zhu. I have something to talk to President Ning about.
Then I'll leave you guys to it. I'm gong back to my office.
How did it go? Have you find out anything?
I asked the colleague of journalist Cai, she was close with Zhu Hanchong.
If my guess is right, it's probably Zhu Hanchong bribed Cai
In the news to modify your story
wanting to use the media to force you to quit.
It's Zhu Hanchong again.
President Ning, how do we fight back.
Now it's not time to fight inside the company.
Let him go this time. Let me finishing Li Zhicheng first, then I'll deal with him.
Understood.
Junior fellow, I've figured out everything. I'm sorry
I wronged you.
How's the sample coming along?
It's almost done. I'm just checking it.
President Li
just now Ning just texted me
he said he found out that the incident had nothing to do with me
he apologized.
And I'm gonna apologize to you.
I shouldn't have doubted you.
and I should have said thing were so mean
-Sorry. -Why are you apologizing？ I was not upset.
I was so mean, weren't you upset about that?
I really am not.
Check these two suits out. Tomorrow I'm gonna meet Don,
I don't know which one to wear. Can you help me pick?
Don's doing street wear, so he might not like you to look too serious.
Be casual.
Okay, your call.
Gao Lang, when is Don's flight? Are you guys all prepared?
President Ning, they'll arrive in Lin Hai at 10. I've already prepped everything as we planned.
Hello, are you Mr. Don?
Who are you?
My name Gao Lang. President Ning sent me to pick you up.
President Ning?
I remember Grace also said she was coming too.
It must be Grace got busy, therefore Ning had to ask me to come here.
Alright, let me call Grace to confirm.
Why I have no reception here.
Mr. Don, maybe the airport never gets good reception.
But your time is precious. How about we getting on our way first, you can call in the car.
Weird. Why I still don't have reception.
Maybe it's because Lin Hai is checking the
signal towers. Might because of that.
What a downer.
-Mr. Don. -President Ning
Welcome
Come, please come in.
Gao Lang, you are dismissed.
Don, please. Here is the design department of Xin Bao Rui
Here,
President Ning, your designer don't come to work
Might because they all went out to do some field work
Don, let me show you other departments
after they come back let them come to greet you.
Alright
Come, please.
Grace.
Finally to see you.
President Ning, why you picked up Don without telling me?
President Ning picking me up I though was your arrangement
Actually it doesn't matter. We were old friends.
Him picking you up equals me picking you up
Thank you. But don't have us wait that the airport for so long for nothing
it's tiring.
Don, let me introduce you to all the designers in Aida.
They were so excited about you coming to Lin Hai
all were saying to meet you and greet you, to learn something from you.
Meng Meng, Bu Fan, you...
President Ning always says that we are the future star of Xin Bao Rui
But since we came here, we didn't do anything important.
Then why do they hire us with such a high price.
What should we do?
What about we just all quit.
Although the salary at Xin Bao Rui is high, but here is so complicated
It doesn't help us to focus on our designs.
I have the same though. Comparing to high salary
I'd rather stay somewhere humble and light to pursue my dreams.
Yeah you say so but where to find a team like this.
Well don't be so sure.
You are really good at this Grace.
Pulled the rug under me. You took my entire design team.
President Ning, we've been friends for so long, why do you regard me as a stranger.
Isn't yours mine?
Enough.
I don't care about how do you guys play the games of Mr. and Mrs Smith.
But please don't waste my time on your battles.
Bye.
Don. Don.
It's not like what you think. Don.
Don it's like this：
Don, it's a little complicated
but we are very sincere to work with you. Don
Grace. I don't know what are you guys doing?
But I really hate the games.
So I don't want to collaborate with either of you two.
I'm sorry. I understand what are you feeling.
But you finally have time to come to Lin Hai
Why don't you come to Aida with me to take a look
All the designers are here.
I'm sorry I have something else to do.
Don.
Who are you?
He is the President Li of Aida
I don't care who he is. Let him let go of his hand.
I'm sorry. I was waiting for Grace to bring you downstairs to meet you officially
there is only one opportunity okay?
You have wasted it.
You all wait. Call her soon.
Lin Qian
Something happened.
Come, talk to her.
Ning Weikai hindered us carrying out the plan and took Don to Xin Bao Rui
No why didn't you follow?
If follow noe, Don's gonna be more annoyed.
So there is nothing we can do now?
If you can get Don, all the following things are gonna be in trouble.
Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi are waiting to see us fail.
Give me ten minutes.
Let me go talk to him.
You sure?
He's a senior fellow of mine. I wanna try.
Lin Qian, wait for me in the parking lot.
Okay, okay.
Yayi, come with me.
Hello, Ma Feng, please cut the car Lin A 421
It's a Q7
Please get this ten minutes for Lin Qian.
Grey Bear get the equipment.
Hurry hurry.
Wait for me Ma Feng.
This..
The car is on Lin Hai road heading towards the airport highway
Stop him.
U turn, we are on your left side.
What do you mean?
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
I warn you I'm gonna call the police.
Borrow ten minutes from you. If we still couldn't change your mind,
I won't bother you anymore.
Can you take a look at my design?
Just one look.
Where did you get the inspirations of the patterns?
This is what I learned during my field work in Yun Nan
I brought the samples. All the rest of your time could you leave it to us
I'll show you them
Come
Ma Feng. come out when you are ready.
Please book a hotel for me.
Then you mean...
Book a hotel.
Okay.
Good alterring on the dress.
Don, in order to make this collaboration work we spent so much effort.
Thank you for your strust
Who I trust is her
Finding a collaborator is like finding a partner.
You have good taste. Lin Qian is the designer her with the most potential.
And also is our lucky staff.
Have s seat. -Alright all the rest is left up to you guys.
Don, Lin Qian is the chief designer of thie collaborative brand
Then the naming right...
Okay.
Lin Qian, I'll give you the naming rights to you.
I've been thinking about this for a while.
I want to call it Y-Fancy
Young Fancy.
Y-Fancy
Not bad, meaningful and easy to remember.
I have no disagreement on this.
I think it's not bad too.
Y-Fancy. It's youthful and positive.
Perfect.
Such an interesting day.
So many surprised.
I hope every day in the future that Y-Fancy can bring me surprises.
Of course, in order to celebrate the establishment of Y-Fancy
we decide to launch it on May 20
May 20th
Isn't it too rushed?
I warn you guys that Y-Fancy can't be adulterate .
Don't worry, we won't do something like that.
We will make it more perfect that you expect.
And also Aida is going to run Y-Fancy with its full effort.
Only success, no failures.
We will make Y-fancy
more local, more youthful and more suitable for the Chinese aesthetics
Okay, since you all agreed
we don't have any reason to disagree.
Where are you from?
I'm from Ukraine.
- Ukraine? - You'd be welcome in Ukraine.
So beautiful.
- I like it. - So beautiful.
You digged up your own grave and sold yourself.
You're still in the mood to drink alcohol over here?
You are quite refined.
Say, you're quite cruel. You took my whole fashion design team.
Not as cruel as you.
You look sweet on the outer
But secretly you'll do anything.
Thankfully, the heavens were watching out for me.
Your designers got financial help from me when they were university students.
Do you want to congratulate me?
Come on, give me a toast.
Don't talk so nobly.
It was all trickery. It's just that you used it for Aida.
I did it for Xin Baorui.
At least, I didn't use such despicable emotional tactics.
Let me go!
What are you doing?!
Don't think that I don't know that you're doing all this because of Li Zhiqian!
You can do anything for him without caring.
Encountering someone like you, I must retaliate.
He already died!
No matter what you do, he won't come back.
Even if he died, he'll forever be in my heart.
But you, I advise you
not to play any emotional tricks with me.
That tactic of yours makes me feel so disgusted!
Let me go!

[ LACE SEDUCTION ]
,I.Recently, Wenda Group's Aida has released this statement:
Aida is collaborating with the American brand, Fancy.
Before the busy shopping period of the 520 [Chinese Valentine's Day] holiday, they will roll out their new brand, Y-Fancy.
They will raise the curtain for this stage of their clothing brand with a large scale promotion.
Soldiers who served with President Li Zhicheng are helping with this promotion.
This should give spark to Y-Fancy's 520.
It will help Wenda stabilize and gain a firm foothold.
Whoa, Xiao Qianqian. You really have excellent craftsmanship.
Embroidery is something old fashion
but you've transformed it into a Western style.
Embroidery is an old craft, but it's not old-fashioned.
Whether it's old or old-fashioned...in a word, it's come to life.
The more you look at it then the better it looks.
But what animal is this?
It's a drawing from of the Spring Ox you pray to for good fortune in folklore. It symbolizes a prosperous rebirth.
No wonder I don't know it
but how did you know about it?
When I went into the countryside to collect folklore, I learned about it from a village woman.
What?
You reached deep into your own wellspring and gave it all to Aida's Y-Fancy?
You're not going to produce your own brand in the future anymore?
Of course, I'm going to.
My goal never changed.
It's just that I have these things right now so I can use it.
When I produce my own brand in the future then I'll think of new ones.
Say, which point are you and Lin Qian at?
I'm not trying to gossip.
I just wanted to wake you up a bit.
Don't stare at me like that!
I just want to remind you that her contract is about to expire.
If you don't think of a way to make her renew the contract
then I'm afraid that she'll run away at that time.
The person I want won't run away.
Bossy.
But you can't rely on momentum alone.
Sometimes, women look at actions.
Weikai, get ready for the meeting.
So what if Aida collaborates with Fancy?
Our Xin Baorui is a fixture in Lin Hai. So, you can't waver over this matter.
We've just got to concentrate on the work in front of us.
Thank you so much, Hanjing.
No matter what you do, I'll support you.
Same with my dad.
Thanks.
Chairman and all board members,
What happened this time was my failure.
so I'm willing to accept the punishment that the board members give me.
Alright, all board members
For the first time, our manager's efforts have suffered a setback, causing great damage to our company.
How should be handle this matter?
Weikai, sit down first.
Our Xin Baorui has all along had our original brands.
A joint brand isn't usually part of our project strategy.
Even though it's a pity that we couldn't collaborate with Don this time
However, this doesn't really affect Xin Baorui's outstanding track record,
and it doesn't affect the board members trust towards Weikai.
Dad!
Next, the most important day is May 20th.
Weikai, you mustn't lose heart.
Thank you, Chairman.
Thank you all board members for trusting and supporting me.
Next up for May 20th, I'll definitely let Xin Baorui
all of our stores' sales and profits reach number one.
Good! The board members believe you in.
Dad, this isn't fair!
Shu up!
Dad, how come when he's at fault but he doesn't have to be punished?
Is Xin Baorui just for him to practice around with?
How can you say such wretched things?
Chairman, don't be angry.
This time, I'm really at fault so I should recieve a punishment.
Today, in front of everyone, I give my pledge.
If the sales on May 20th isn't in first place in Linhai
then I'll immediately resign from all of my positions.
Weikai.
Alright, President Ning, then I'll look forward performance.
Weikai, how can you have made such a pledge?
You were too influenced by personal emotions.
Sometimes, leaving no way out is the best way to go.
What's wrong with cutting off your path to retreat?
It's all because Hanchong doesn't know things.
Don't be mad at him.
No problem. This recent setback...I have to carry on my own shoulders.
Then, what do you plan to do later on?
I'll think it through. I'll have a method.
[ Si Meiqi ]
President Chen, now that Aida is collaborating with Fancy
and created the brand, Y Fancy.
It will be popularized during the 502 holiday season.
What opinions do you have on this?
What opinions could I have?
President Chen indeed has a big heart.
It's business. Other than being smart,
Shouldn't we be more tolerant and magnanimous?
♫ In order to forget my despair...♫
♫ I lost my way... ♫
Right now, your Si Meiqi
Ankada has already fallen so deeply into the trap that it can't see the problem from outside.
But in Xin Baorui, we lost the chance to collaborate with Fancy.
Now, Aida will try to follow up this victory by pressing the attack
by trying to seize the market sales for 502.
You also have no opinion on this?
That market is so big,
with the right abilities, who couldn't take advantage of some of it.
Say, President Chen, you really have a big heart.
Or is that Ankada is just counting on purchase orders to keep you going until you retire?
What on earth do you want to say?
Actually, we could deploy our resources together.
Xin Baorui could give you the use of our production line
and help you finish the order of Ankada earlier.
You could offer more of your online and retail resources.
We could add strength by cooperating and meet 502 headon.
Our Simeiqi can complete Ankada alone.
We don't need Xin Baorui's production line.
I want all this thrown into the ditch.
Alright.
Hello?!
Which bastard is this?!
That stupid driver was simple-minded.
He must not have rested up and was driving when he was too tired.
I think the simple-minded one is you.
The heavens didn't favor us; it's not all my fault.
Fine. I won't haggle with you about this right now.
Tell me right now, what solution do you have?
We've lost about half our supply. We won't be able to deliver all our goods as scheduled.
We can only tell Ankada the truth
We'll have to get an extension.
For how long?
Altogether, production should have taken a month. We lost half, so we'll need a two-week extension.
Extending it for two weeks amounts to how much loss?
If we delay for ten days then the compensate is 10%.
If it's fifteen days then it's 50%.
A hundred million?! Where will that much money come from?
A hundred million?
That much?
Then this project with Ankada is actually costing us money?
Then think of a solution!
You need to go make some phone calls and make sure the factory is working night and day. Hurry!
President Tie, if you can really help us out this time...
President Wang, there's something in a rush that I need your help for.
It's...
Chairman, all the factories in Lin Hai and surrounding towns have responded.
They're all rushing for products for May 20th so they can't help us.
I know. You may go out.
Father, what are we going to do? We can't work our supply lines to death.
Respect? How much respect should you get?
Okay. with your own respect, you go talk to him?
I'm just thinking of a solution.
Then, can you think about a feasible solution?
Right now, why don't you think about
whether or not there are other factories in Lin Hai.
I thought of one, dad!
President Chen, Xinbaorui's President Ning wants to see you.
Our Xinbaorui this time will help you over come these hardships.
That way you can fulfill your uniform manufacturing obligations.
This is great.
President Ning is able to help Simeiqi when they need help,
I really appreciate it.
Alright then.
Tell us a price and we won't bargain.
Don't worry, Chairman Chen.
This time, we won't take advantage of you guys at this time.
We'll supply them at cost.
Since it's like that
then President Ning should have another view about this.
Please take a look, Chairman Chen.
[Strategic Cooperation Agreement]
We could share resources.
Our Xin Baorui could provide our production lines to you.
and Simeiqi
could offer more of your online and retail resources to us.
I believe that there's no free lunches in the world.
Since President Ning can 'send coal in snowy weather', [provide help in our hour of need]
then we at Simeiqi can 'give a plum in return for a peach' [return the favor].
I'll sign this contract.
That's great. President Chen is very straighforward.
I've always thought that Ning Weikai was very stingy.
I didn't expect that he's quite reliable during crucial times.
Dad, I was really afraid that you won't sign it just then.
Actually, a few days ago he was looking for me and we talked about it.
We could share resources.
Xin Baorui could give your the rights to our production lines
and help you complete Ankada's order earlier.
At that time, I didn't promise him.
I thought we at Simeiqi would never need Xin Baorui's production lines.
Look, what a coincidence.
Coincidence?
Why would there coincidences on this world for no reason?
Dad, what do you mean by that?
Think about it yourself.
You mean that the incident with our supplies
has to do with Ning Weikai?
You did a good job this time.
But President Ning,
But selling our production lines to Simeiqi at cost,
is it worth it?
It amounts to spending very little money to gain digital platform.
[Strategic Cooperation Agreement]
- Bastard! I'll go look for him. - Sit down!
Something without evidence,
you have to keep it in your stomach even if you get punched to dearth.
But we are getting bullied.
If you don't want to get bullied then you have to use evidence to talk.
You also have no evidence but why are you suspecting that it's Ning Weikai?
I'm not suspecting anymore.
However, it's a businessman's instinct to seek nothing but profit.
When do you ever get coal for a snowy day [help in time of need'?
