" Our Glamorous Time "
Episode 32
We are going back to Wen Da soon.
During this time, Li Zhi Cheng needs you the most.
He still have you guys, right?
You are his source of power to move forward too.
Although I'm leaving,
it doesn't mean that I'm not supporting him.
I'll always stand by him.
Now,
I just want to give myself some time to calm down and think.
So, there's no way I can change your decision?
People will face different choices during different stages of their life.
My original desire is just to be a designer actually.
I just want to do my design without any disturbances.
I don't want to become just another copycat.
I've been working in Ai Da for so long, and now,
I'm clearer about the direction that I wanted to head.
I understand your point.
Actually, you've been working in Ai Da for so long.
And we've been through a lot together.
I'm quite upset that...
you'll be leaving us.
Sometimes, you are like my mirror.
We always look for something new.
I'm that kind of person...
who has forgotten about my original desire.
Sometimes, I too want to put down everything and do something I like.
But sometimes, thing doesn't go according to plan in life.
So, you are a lucky one.
Don't forget your original desire, and you shall reach the end one day.
But Director Gu, you can't just put everything down.
Keep it up.
Amanda, I'm here to hand over my work.
Alright.
Amanda!
Get up.
Come.
Are you alright? Let me send you to the hospital.
I don't have enough sleep these two days.
I think my blood sugar is just low.
But you fainted just now.
I better send you to the hospital.
I just need to rest for a while.
Let me help you with these work.
I have to complete my work no matter how exhausted I am.
I don't need your help.
Amanda, I've quit the job.
There are no competition between us anymore.
Even if you push yourself until you collapse,
you won't be able to finish these work.
The body belongs to you.
If you don't take care of it, nobody will.
Let me help you.
But don't worry. I won't change your design draft.
I'll just help you finish up your work.
Alright. Let me help you over there so you can rest.
Alright.
Come.
Slowly.
Come.
Remember to call me if you have any problems.
Alright. Don't worry.
Just lie down over here.
Why are you looking for me? Be quick about it.
I still have other things to do.
Tell me.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Can you stop fidgeting? Are you a man?
Lady, today, I'm here to return your money.
So, shouldn't you be more polite to me?
Does this mean that your father has given you money?
No.
I've sold one of my DJ players.
It means that you have money to pay me back now?
No.
Because I bought a new one.
Alright.
This meal is on me.
I'll pay for it, alright?
Attendant, the bill please.
I'll give you one week to pay back to me.
And, don't look for me if you don't have the money.
I'm very busy. I have a tight schedule.
Attendant, the bill please.
Lunatic.
I'm very busy.
Girls nowadays are so practical.
Your hair is so nice. Why would you cut it off?
This is my conviction to start over.
Conviction?
Sounds like you are sulking.
I want to strive for excellence. Just like Qian Qian.
Are you sure? I'll cut it then.
- Cut it. - Alright.
Why is there an extra thread here?
This thread is sewn into the collar. You can't see it from outside.
By doing this, we can prevent the collar from collapsing.
So that it'll be more solid.
This is a good idea.
This is a trick I found out when I was in university.
Lin Qian.
You really are a special girl.
After I graduated from my university,
I've met many different kind of people in this path of fashion designing.
Some are chasing wealth.
Some are chasing fame.
What are you chasing for?
I...
Amanda.
What do you think about the occupation of a designer?
Someone has made a statistic before.
According to it, 90 percent of girls...
wanted to be a fashion designer when they are young.
But only 5 percent of them make it.
I'm one of them.
In the end, they wore those beautiful clothes.
But they never know...
the sufferings behind the career as a designer.
Because as a designer,
designing is not your only job.
Yes.
Every day, we have to deal with things that have nothing to do with design.
Our designs are limited inside the box fixed by somebody else.
This is the real life of a designer.
Truthfully, sometimes, humans are really weird creatures.
On one hand, we hate wealth and power.
But on the other hand,
we are chasing them tirelessly.
Showing off their wealth and happiness.
It stands to reason.
Psychologically, we have constant need to pursue our ideals...
or have other emotional sustenance.
We have to satisfy our inner needs...
so that it can give us strength to continue with our living.
That's why, sometimes, I feel insecure.
I only feel safe...
when I'm working hard.
Working can bring us a sense of security.
But body is our asset.
We need a healthy body to be able to create designs.
I'm done. Take a look.
Truthfully speaking,
you are really great.
Even a designer like Don...
is not as ingenious as you are in the details.
Ingenious conception is inspiration.
And inspirations come from...
my passion towards design.
Before this, I'm swayed by personal feelings...
and I can't think of any solutions.
I never thought that by helping you for a few hours,
there will be so many inspirations...
pouring out from me.
By letting emotions control me during work will really affect my judgement.
Amanda, the mission is complete.
I'll be leaving then.
Are you really going to quit?
Sorry.
At first, I thought that you are a gold-digger.
But actually, you are a gold digger.
You are not the gold-digger that I've expected...
but a gold digger with dreams.
I'll be looking forward to your sparkles in this path of designing.
Always be a gold digger.
Thank you for your compliments.
I should be the one thanking you.
- I've got it. - How is it?
Look.
It's her.
But we can't prove that...
this is her doings with just two footages.
Although we don't have the proof that she has used Lin Qian's computer,
when we combine these two footages together,
The time she entered the office coincided with...
the time when our design drawings are stolen.
So, most probably she's our suspect.
Just leave the rest to me.
- You've worked hard. - I'll continue my work then.
Because of this,
Lin Qian has to resign.
And you were so aggressive from the start.
But now, the problem comes from your team.
I never thought that she'll do something like this.
But now, things have gotten to this point.
Lin Qian was framed without her knowing about it.
We have to do her justice.
And she's your assistant.
How are you going to deal with this?
If this is really her doings,
fire her and reveal the truth to public.
So that we can prove Lin Qian's innocence.
We can confirm our suspicion easily.
She's here.
Director Gu, Amanda, you are looking for me?
Director Gu, why are you looking at me like that?
You are so smart,
you must have known the reason I look for you.
What is it?
I've given her a chance.
I'll go straight to the point then.
Using Lin Qian's designer account to post our design drafts to public.
It's your doing right?
I didn't do it. Why did you say that, Director Gu?
Look at this.
You can't proof that I'm the one doing it with only this.
You are right.
But I was thinking. If that person did something to Lin Qian's computer,
there must be fingerprints.
So I've asked Wasp to collect the fingerprints to be sent to the police.
The police will investigate about this with us.
After all, this involved the leaking of company's secret.
So, this is an economic crime.
Isn't it normal for a clothing company to have a few...
leaked out photos?
This is just a prank. It can't be that serious.
So, you've admitted.
I...
I'm sorry, Director Gu. It's just a mistake.
I just want to play a prank on Lin Qian.
But your action has forced the design director of Ai Da away.
Let me tell you.
How are we going to deal with you is not up to me.
It's up to Lin Qian.
Amanda.
Please give me another chance.
- I can't walk away from here. - Enough.
Pack your things and leave.
I don't want to see you anymore in this lifetime.
Lin Qian.
Listen to me.
The investigation on the leaking of design drawings is done.
It's Amanda's assistant's doings.
- She did it? - Yes.
Someone might look innocent.
But the things they did are really a shock to the system.
You are the victim in this incident.
What are we going to do with her is up to you.
Amanda wants to fire her.
She is Amanda's assistant.
Let Amanda deal with her.
Me leaving the company is not because of that incident too.
We have to be forgiving. Just let it go.
Alright.
Later on, I'll make an announcement in the company to proof your innocence.
- Thank you. - Let's go. I see you out.
Alright.
How's it going on with the plan to go back to Wen Da?
It's going on quite smooth.
With my brother in Wen Da, father won't have to worry anymore.
Thank you.
As long as you are well,
I'm willing to do anything.
When did you become such a sweet-talker?
If I want you to sing in front of the whole world, will you do that?
You are really going to do it?
Sorry for disturbing your meals.
Just now, a lady asked me...
whether or not I dare to sing for her in front of the whole world.
My answer is, of course.
Because she is my whole world.
Whenever I open my eyes,
the first thing I want to do...
is to meet you by chance.
You must have realised that...
you are never out from my gaze.
When you are shy,
I became more entranced.
Let me be closer.
Don't worry...
and forgot about others.
Just the two of us.
You are special to me.
And I have feelings only for you.
Fresh flower is not a trickery.
So please accept it.
When it was given during confession,
you'll like me even more.
I'm just waiting for the call of love.
Thank you and please excuse me. Thank you.
Next, it's my...
time to confess.
Jin Yuan.
'If' is a simple word.
'Possible' is another simple word.
But when 'if' and 'possible' are added together,
they gave me courage.
Jin Yuan.
Look at me.
I like you!
If possible,
I hope that you can give me a chance...
to be together with you.
Let me take care of you in another way.
Can I?
Jin Yuan.
I'm sorry and thank you.
Jin Yuan.
Yan Zhi.
Thank you for your care.
But I really feel that...
the relationship we are in right now, is the best.
Look. We can eat, shop, watch movies and play golfs together.
I can fool around with you without any restraint.
And you won't worry about losing me and think too much.
I really hope that...
we can be like this forever.
Give each other a like and roast each other.
I'm really afraid to...
take this step with you.
Can we...
stay like this forever?
Alright?
Father, why are you here?
It's raining. Quickly go back in. Go back and rest in the house.
He doesn't want to sleep every night.
He just stares at the passing cars outside.
He's waiting for you to come back earlier.
Your father's illness is getting worse.
If you are free, spend more time with him.
Father.
Don't worry.
I'll be coming back to Wen Da soon.
I'll definitely drag Wen Da out from this sorry state. Don't worry.
My condition.
I've consulted with the doctor.
The doctor told me that my illness...
will make me lose my temper.
I'll often scold people.
For my whole life, I, Li Zhong Ming...
have always had my dignity. I never did something that will embarrass me.
Zhi Cheng.
Listen to me.
If I start to scold people without reason,
don't care about me.
Just shut me into a hut and don't let me come out.
Father.
What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think about that nonsense.
I really wish that...
I won't leave you the impression of me just scolding people...
after I die.
I...
As a father...
It's alright. If you don't want to push me inside,
just let her do it.
She's been working for me for so long.
She knows my temper.
She won't take it to heart. There will be no problem.
Father, it's alright.
If you are angry, just vent out your anger on me.
Don't keep it in.
Father, you have me and Jin Yuan.
From now on, if you say that you miss me,
no matter where I am, I'll just be one call away.
I'm old.
My body is getting weaker and there are a lot of things I can't do.
I might not have a chance to tell you this later.
So, I want to apologise to you first.
Qian.
The investigation on the leaking of design drawings is done.
They are leaked by Amanda's assistant. Nothing to do with you.
Ai Da has caused you grievance.
Director Gu has already told me about it.
It's alright. Everything has passed. No need to mention it anymore.
But in the end, I still can't make you stay.
I just say that we can't work together anymore.
But our relationship is still doing fine.
Before this, I only said that our current career developments...
are facing different problems.
But I didn't say that we have to give up on our relationship.
I thought that your resignation will affect our relationship at first.
I'm afraid that you'll leave me.
That's not true.
Before this, we want to start a business together...
and work hard together to create our own brand.
But after that, I realise that...
it's too difficult for two people in a relationship to have...
the same career.
But if I'm willing to be subservient to you,
there won't be a problem.
But I know,
Love shouldn't let either side...
give up on themselves.
We should make the other partners be the better version of themselves.
At first, I thought that we are a team.
I'll lead the battle in the front-line.
And you'll do the things you like at the back without any worries.
But I've let you down.
I'm not disappointed.
But this is a really huge test for us.
Especially someone...
who likes to order me around in the name of President of Ai Da.
How about this.
From now on, I'll order you around in the name of Lin Qian's boyfriend.
Qian.
No matter what choice you make in the future,
what path you take,
I'll support you.
As your boyfriend,
I need to do two things.
Love you...
and protect you.
Thank you for this considerable repurchase price.
This is the least I can do. It's a form of appreciation too.
Without you, Ai Da and Y Fancy won't develop that quickly.
I just did something...
that is within my power.
At first, I feel that I have...
the responsibility and obligation to help you because of your brother.
But over the time, I realised that...
you've completely grown up.
You have a lot of your own ideas and decisions.
So I think now,
you don't really need me anymore.
- Thank you. - So, wish you all the best in future.
But I have confidence in you.
Because you are no longer the fledgling businessman you once were.
From now on, if you need anything in life or work,
call me anytime.
Grace, besides thank you,
I really don't know what else to say to you.
Although we can't cooperate anymore, we are still friends.
No thanks are needed between friends.
- All the best. - Thank you.
I remember you told me before that...
you want to use Xue Yan Twill as a diversion.
Looks like your plan is working quite well.
Very good.
Then this time, what kind of rewards that you want?
Chairman Zhu.
I want to discuss something with you.
This is Taiping Houkui from Huangshan.
Director Ning, you really know your tea.
This is just a little hobby of mine.
I just know a little bit of something about tea.
Teacher Geng, if you are free, come to my place and have tea together.
I didn't pay much attention to the tea I drink actually.
Teacher Geng. This time, I represent...
Xin Bao Rui to come here.
We want to talk about collaboration.
Thank you, Director Ning for thinking highly of our little workshop.
Teacher Geng, you are too humble.
I was a designer too.
I truly understand the value of...
Xue Yan Twill as China's traditional handicraft.
Actually, I think that...
if we can develop Xue Yan Twill using modern technology,
we can form a mass production of a certain scale.
And then, we can develop it into a medium and high-end brand.
This will be the best way to pass on the craftsmanship of Xue Yan Twill.
That is quite insightful, Director Ning.
Have some tea.
But of course.
If we want to do that,
we need strong financial support.
Xin Bao Rui is supported by Zhu Corporation.
Compared to other clothing company,
obviously, we have the advantage.
Director Ning.
This cooperation can't be decided...
with just a few words today.
Let's just drink tea today. Don't talk about other things.
Sure, no problem.
Zhi Cheng, finally, you've came back to stay.
- I'll ask someone to Cary your thing. - Thank you, auntie.
Go on in.
- Let's go. - Go on in.
Zhi Cheng is back.
- Father, I'm back. - That's great.
You are quite cheerful today.
I've asked them to prepare the fish dish that you like.
Thank you, father.
I've asked the lawyer to prepare for the delegation of power.
From now on, you'll be the chairman of Wen Da.
What is this, father?
I'll leave it to you then.
" House of Geng "
Master Geng.
I'm sorry.
Sigh upon sigh.
Mulan is trying to weave.
But no sound from the loom.
Just the girlish sigh of hers.
Teacher Geng.
Hello.
What is it? Something wrong with the robe again?
No. I just happened to pass by.
So, I came to see you.
Come on in.
Teacher Geng.
I've left Ai Da.
Recently, I'm very lost.
I don't know what I can do.
I...
Actually, I really love this fabric of Xue Yan Twill.
Can I learn more about it from you?
You are guest.
You can come in and have a cup of tea.
But I have rules here.
The craftsmanship of Xue Yan Twill is our family's inheritance.
We won't pass it down to outsider.
You know that I'm a designer.
I've been wanting to incorporate...
Xue Yan Twill into my designs.
It'll be such a waste if such a good craftsmanship...
is buried away like this.
I have a small dream.
I want to make the whole world...
know about this fabric through my designs.
It's a good thinking.
But like I said,
I'll only accept an apprentice. I won't pass it down to outsider.
Moreover, the youngsters now are just a flash in a pan.
At most,
just 30 seconds.
When she first came, she stood under the rain for one night.
But within a week, she can't take it anymore. She left.
Teacher Geng, I'm different from her.
I really like this Xue Yan Twill.
Please believe me. I can take it. I have the perseverance.
Please accept me as your apprentice.
Let me call you teacher, alright?
My advice for you is, stop wasting your time.
Just go.
Teacher Geng.
How about you take a look at my designs.
Everybody around me knows that I like Xue Yan Twill.
I'm not lying to you, Teacher Geng. Please believe me.
I can bear the hardships. I can persevere.
Teacher Geng.
Actually, your father knows the score.
My father's most successful work in his whole life is Wen Da Corporation.
I will enter Wen Da as the acting chairman...
and run for the company's CEO position.
But this won't be an easy feat.
Xue Ming Tao won't give up his position.
He'll do anything at any cost to destroy the CEO election.
I'm worried about this too.
He just had a taste of Wen Da's power.
He won't give up easily.
How's your spy work going on?
After returning to Wen Da some time ago,
I've actually conquered a lot of people.
So, there will be about 40 percent of people that will stand on our side.
Xue Ming Tao's situation is almost the same as ours.
And the rest is the fence-sitter.
Among the fence-sitters, one man has the most shares, Zhao Wen Zhuang.
If we can convince him to cooperate with us,
Then it'll be more likely for us to win in the CEO election.
Another thing.
I found out that the financial director, Hao Ling,
is with Xue Ming Tao.
If we want to regain control of the company,
how are we going to deal with this person?
It'll be very troublesome.
Lady, why are you still hanging around here?
Many people came here, but none can last more than 3 months.
Just leave.
Senior.
You've been her apprentice for a very long time, right?
Yes, I've learned it for a long time.
You've been with Teacher Geng for so long.
Help me think of a way.
I really want to learn.
I don't have any solution. There's nothing to be learned here.
Moreover, you don't look poor.
Just go on with your life.
No. Senior, you can't say that.
This is a traditional craftsmanship.
It's very valuable.
Lady, listen to me. This is a traditional craftsmanship.
Look at my hand. I can't even make a living for myself now.
It's all because of this traditional craftsmanship.
Look at you. You are young and pretty.
Just marry a good man and you'll have a whole different life.
I'm a miserable man.
I'm a living example.
The door is here.
Jin Yuan.
I like you!
If possible,
I hope that you can give me a chance...
to be together with you.
Let me take care of you in another way.
Can I?
Are you done? Let me take you home.
No need. Chen Zheng will be taking me.
Just concentrate on your work from now on.
No need to worry about me.
Let's have lesser contact.
From now on,
Chen Zheng will send me back.
Just now, you rejected Gu Yan Zhi's offer to take you back.
And you said, from now on, I'll be taking you instead.
Did I hear it correctly?
No. I never said that. You've heard wrongly.
Miss Li has always stood by your words.
Why did you suddenly act dumb?
Stop the car.
I ask you to stop.
Jin Yuan.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. What I said just now...
is just to make Gu Yan Zhi go away.
Nothing else.
