[ Our Glamorous Time ]
[ Episode 27 ]
All these days you were gone,
I was so worried I would just lose you for good.
I told myself I had to finish the contest.
But all I could think of was you.
Whatever happens in the future, whatever danger you are faced with, promise you will let me know.
I'm not afraid of danger.
I'm afraid of a world without you in it.
You remember what I said?
We are buddies in action. We trust each other to watch our sixes.
You know how serious this is?
I take you just as seriously.
No way Ning Weikai can pull off a comeback with this frigging contest?
What is he up to now?
Nothing so far.
Ning Weikai is full of tricks.
We must act before he does.
And call that journalist, Ms. Cai and tell her to come and see me asap.
Got it.
A pawn is still a pawn
even after it makes it to the other end.
Ning Weikai, we will see how you manage your comeback.
Ms. Cai, this is the most celebrated tea in the house. Please.
President Ning, you are a big name in the fashion industry.
And you have the time to have me over for tea? I'm flattered.
That's funny. I'm no longer with Xin Baorui.
I have way too much time on my hand.
What else would I do if not having tea?
President Ning, I'm tasting something other than the tea.
What is it, Ms. Cai?
Something that tells me you want to
go back to Xin Baorui.
Ms. Cai, we've known each other long enough...
- No password. Thanks. - ...I'll tell you the truth.
No more beating around the bush.
Whatever Zhu Hanchong can offer you, I can offer more.
But this time I do hope you can help me.
President Ning, you have to forgive me for being slow on this.
I'm just a journalist, not a businesswoman.
I go after facts.
I don't play any long games of yours.
Any way, thanks for the good tea.
I have to go now.
All right. I won't oblige you.
I look forward to our next tea time together.
What is her deal?
It seems she is not interested in what we have to offer.
So what do we do?
Wherever you want to go, just say it.
I will take you.
The girl at the karaoke was really nice.
Good idea! Let's go!
Hello, sister?
Where are you?
On the way to somewhere fun!
Come back right now! Dad wants to ask you somthing.
What's the matter? What thing? How is Dad?
Stop asking questions. Come back now!
He doesn't have to come back if he doesn't want to. Tell him to die out there!
I can pretend I don't have a son!
Dad!
Dad! Calm down.
- Get out. - What's going on?
- You can take a day off. - What?
Be good! All right? Don't make Dad angry again.
Dad.
Explain yourself.
Name your price. As long as you can make the stories
go viral.
It depends on what you can offer. You are businessma.
You will get what you pay for. Do I have to say more?
Good! This is why I like doing business with you media people.
Where did you get these photos, Dad?
Whoever did this, I will track him down. He wants me dead!
You think you have nothing to worry about once you get rid of those who tell the truth?
How do you explain this then?
What? The list?
You have some guts!
Didn't I already tell you?
They are the ones who followed me as I built my business up from scratch.
There would be no this family business if it hadn't been for them. You don't turn your back on them!
You think you are strong enough to act on your own. Is there anything you won't dare?
Why didn't you put my name in there? Go ahead, get your dad fired as well!
Hanchong, look what you've done to Dad. Apologize now.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Remorseless! You would bribe a journalist
just to hurt Ning Weikai?
You are dragging Xin Baorui down with you! You don't understand!
Dad, I think you are the one who doesn't understand.
Why do we trust an outsider to run our family business?
I don't worry he will take Xin Baorui away from us?
You...
Hanchong, stop it.
Okay. I'll stop.
But Dad, if you're really going to bring Ning back,
you are making the Zhu family look bad.
Do you really want me to become a laughingstock?
You listen to me. From now on,
you stay out of the entire operation of Xin Baorui.
Come in.
Mr. Chairman.
Weikai, there you are.
Come. Have a seat.
Take it easy.
Sit down.
Many things happened to Xin Baorui.
You must have heard.
I'm not getting any younger. I can't personally take care of
every little detail of the company.
So I hope you'll come back.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for seeing me as one of your men.
I never stopped seeing you as one of us.
The company
needs you back to handle a lot of things.
Zhu Hanchong is my son,
but he does not act on behalf of me.
Young men tend to be ambitious and that's not wrong.
Not if their ambition doesn't hurt the company's interest.
What Zhu Hanchong has been doing
has put you in a hard place.
If that's why you don't want to come back,
then all my expectations for you have been for nothing.
Chairman. You are overthinking it.
I will never forget how you have always had faith in me.
And I know Xin Baorui is part of the Zhu's Group.
I've never forgotten that.
That's why I just wanted to focus on getting my work done.
I never let myself think about anything else.
I think Zhu Junior has been misunderstanding me.
Don't you worry about that. If you come back,
I'll grant you the biggest amount of freedom possible.
President Li. It's been quite a while.
Have a seat.
I trust you didn't have me here for chitchat.
We've been fighting for so long.
So I'll cut to the chase.
I had you come over
to talk about our bet.
I thought you honored your words and stepped out.
Yes. I lost and I stepped out.
But you should know
Aida won because nature intervened in your favor.
If it hadn't rained,
we might not have ended up where we are now.
All that matters to the winner is the result.
Losers can't get over how they lost.
I believe you understand how things work in the business world.
I still find it odd
that Xin Baorui's warehouse
was so badly flooded.
And I think
you know something about it?
President Ning, you are threatening me?
Relax.
That's not what i'm doing here. Like I said,
I want to discuss our bet.
Ever since I started working for Xin Baorui,
I've led my team through so many battles.
Since I left,
I've watched Xin Baorui fell into a human resources mess.
I just can't sit on my hands any more.
And Chairman Zhu really wanted me back.
He has always believed in me.
I couldn't say no to him.
I will drop
the warehouse flooding.
And I hope you will drop the bet for now.
We've been competitors in the garment market for so long.
If I'm out of the picture,
will you still have so much fun?
Okay. I agree.
Rest assured.
I will owe you one.
I will be sure to return the favor.

Over here.
Thanks.
What's the occasion?
If nothing I'll have to go.
Yes, yes. There is something.
This is to celebrate your performance in the contest.
Fair enough.
Now we can eat.
You are not eating?
Yes, I am.
Jinyuan.
What happened backstage
was my bad. It was inappropriate and I misread the situation.
But I really like you.
I can wait.
You have to hear me say it?
I hope you will stop waiting for me.
Why?
You are waiting for someone to make a decision when she simply can't do that.
Won't you get tired?
Jinyuan, when are you ever going to stop running away from it?
I...
I'm not running away from anything.
I just started with a good job and I want my life to be just about that.
If I start dating someone,
you know me, I won't be able to...
focus on my work.
All right.
I won't push you.
Let's eat.
Hello?
We are having a party to celebrate. Lin Qian and I will be there. Are you coming?
I forgot to tell you. I'm not feeling well.
I would like to stay home and get some rest.
Jinyuan didn't go to see you?
Now that I think of it, I might have been pushing it too hard.
It will be awkward for her if I'm there.
Fine. Take care.
You look nice on the outside,
but you are full of wickedness.
Look who I have been rubbing shoulders with.
What?
Rubbing some red on you.
Awesome.
Now please look at the jumbo screen.
A review of the brilliant moments of the contest.
Now, let's give it up to
the champion of the design contest,
Mr. Ning Weikai.
Thank you.
Any thoughts, Mr. Ning?
I thank everyone for their support.
And it is such an honor.
May we all remember why we started out on this journey and never lose our way.
Everyone has heard people say it.
But it can be so hard to do.
I was a fashion designer myself.
Then I became a businessman.
There have been times when I forgot why I started out in fashion.
And one day you see someone wearing your designs
and she doesn't even know.
And she says to me, proudly, this dress i'm wearing
must be by a great designer, someone unique
and out of this world,
unlike me, a profit counting
businessman, who knows nothing else but making deals.
I didn't know what to say at the moment.
But it was a wake-up call.
It made me see
that whatever you do, don't forget why you wanted to do it in the first place.
He won first prize because you quit.
The result doesn't matter.
I won something more valuable.
Lin Qian's design is outstanding.
The host and the judges have discussed it and
they have decided to make an exception for her and include her work in the magazine
together with the work of Ning Weikai.
You deserve it. Congratulations.
Thanks.
Some finger food?
I don't eat a lot of those.
I'm exercising restraint myself.
Sometimes I let myself get away with a tiny bite.
Excuse me. Can I borrow you for a minute?
Sure.
- Excuse me. - No worries.
If you want to thank me, it's not necessary.
You got the unanimous votes of the judges.
I had nothing to do with it.
I do want to thank you, but not for this.
Then what for?
Ms. Cai the journalist.
What's the matter?
Strange. Ms. Cai the journalist gets back to me on WeChat.
She said she will help me.
Good! That's why I like doing business with you media people.
Send me your card number when you have time.
Okay. It's been good doing business with you.
Likewise. Please.
Once you got the pictures, send them to Zhu Hanjing and the chairman.
Okay.
Cai? What does it mean?
Why is it so hard to get you to admit you are being nice to me?
I heard you are pretty close with Zhu Junior of the Zhu's Group?
It is all just business.
Why? You suddenly got interested?
There is no keeping a secret in the world.
Especially for people doing what we do.
There is a lot going on under the table, but make sure it's not too much.
One could lose a lot
for just a little money.
That would be a bad situation to come back from.
You are a smart girl. You know what I'm talking about.
It was nothing.
I didn't expect Ms. Cai to be this imprudent.
You are being unfair with her. She didn't say a word.
You are tricking me into confessing.
No, I'm not. I knew it was you.
And I have known since she said no one must say a word about it.
Because you are the one who will never admit you are being nice to me,
but who will always be there for me.
Long time no see. You are even prettier than the last time we met.
I knew you would come to find me tonight.
Hello, handsome!
My dress!
I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to...
So you are sorry? That's it? It's all over my dress!
What are you going to do about this?
Well, if you don't mind,
you could wear mine.
What's that, children's clothes?
Let...let me see.
Don't touch me.
I could take it to laundry after the party?
President Chen!
What happened, Chen Yayi? Getting yourself in trouble again?
Stay out of this! Go away.
I'm just trying to help.
Look at you! All clumsy. One glass of champagne and
her dress is all discolored.
President Chen! This is haute couture! It doesn't get discolored.
Haute couture? It is a global limited edition, if I remember correctly.
Only one of these was sold in China last month. Correct?
And I happen to be the one who bought it.
I don't remember gifting it to you?
What? Please don't cry. I can't deal with a crying woman. Plus your face will get discolored too.
There are no camera around. So please stop acting.
-I'm still (sorry)... - Come back.
Why are you being such a wuss?
Why are you being a jerk? That's no way to treat a girl!
I was trying to help you. How about a thank you?
Did I ask for your help?
Women and petty men are really hard to deal with.
That's right. I'm a petty woman. I'm wearing a children's dress.
And I never asked for you to deal with me.
You narcissistic jerk!
Wipe your nose clean!
Jinyuan.
I didn't call yesterday because I didn't want to bother you.
But I believe you know that I'm serious.
I think I don't want to think about this right now.
I know you have plans for your life.
All right. I will stay out of it.
Look over there.
How do you think this will end?
People with a dark soul like yours would want to see him lose.
I hope he wins, but there is no way he will.
I think President Gu is the best man in the world.
When will such a good man ever walk into my life?
They are already in your life. You are just blind.
For example there is one such good man right here in front of you.
Really? Where?
Where? Move your head. You are blocking my view.
I had a wine and now I'm having a headache.
Will you excuse me.
You see, there are so many towns in the world.
Each has so many restaurants in it. And she walks into his.
Sometimes we have to believe it is all written in the stars.
Like when I first met you.
But he misses it.
What a shame.
If I were him, I would never let go of the woman I'm supposed to be with.
Then tell me why he has to go.
I think Rick has something he has to do.
Just like when I had to go to save my brothers.
It is my job to make sure they are safe.
This I understand.
And I would have let you go.
So here is the question:
Would you never come back like him?
Wherever I go and for no matter how long I go, I will always come back to you.
Your hands are so big.
Will you always hold me like this and never anyone else?
Your fist is the size of your heart.
This is how big my heart is. How can there be room for anyone else?
I saw something on the Internet and it perfectly described where I am now.
My smile is for anyone.
But my heart is for you alone.
Let's go!
What are you doing?
[ and wherever I'll be, I want you to know that I...]
Sister, everything is ready.
This is the catalog of the collectibles and a description of the process.
The most highly valued item is an embroidered silk dress.
A Ming-style wedding dress, made in the Republic period.
And it's made of snowy smoke silk.
Yes, Ning Weikai used the same fabric in his design for the contest.
It would seem we have a connection with Snowy Smoke.
Oh, I almost forgot. A Ms. Geng wanted to see you.
She claimed Snowy Smoke was an heirloom in her family.
Is it so? Bring her to me, then.
All right.
This way, please.
You must be Ms. Geng. Hi. I'm Grace.
Hi.
I'm curious how you learned about this item on our catalog.
Making Snowy Smoke silk has been a family business of ours.
This dress is one of the few garments my ancestors made.
I have been trying to retrieve it, or least see it for myself.
I tracked down the collector
and he said he had donated it to H Group for a charity auction.
I understand how you feel.
I'll tell you what, I can arrange for you to have a close look at it before the auction.
Well, thank you so much!
Don't mention it.
Grace, I have something to show you.
These are photos of our workshop. We are the only family
in Mudu Township to be still making the silk.
These are precious.
You are an expert in this, Ms. Geng.
Would you like to come to the auction as our special guest?
I would love to!
Great! Cindy, you will take care of it.
This way, Ms. Geng.
President Ning?!
I can't believe you are back, President Ning?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
President Ning!
Morning.
-President Ning! - Morning.
You are back!
Yes.
President Ning, could you use another office?
Why?
Your old office is still...being tidied up.
I got you another office.
How come there are only a few people today?
President Ning, a lot of people left while you were gone.
Nothing could have stopped some of our best men and women from leaving.
President Zhu Junior didn't care.
President Ning! President Ning!
President Ning, please don't...
Open it.
President Ning, this office isn't ready, as you can see.
It's all right. Work can't wait and we must waste no time.
Bring me the paperwork that is awaiting my approval.
Sure.
President Ning, these are the files you asked for.
Weikai!
Hanjing.
What happened?
President Zhu Junior, of course.
That's all right. Leave us.
Watch where you go. Shattered glass everywhere.
You could cut your feet.
That's all right.
I'll take care of it myself.
This is nothing.
He's trying to give you a hard time. I can see it.
But I'm back.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Weikai, ever since 5,20, when our sales fell short of the target,
Hanchong has been breathing down your neck.
I fear he will get even more aggressive now that you are back so quickly.
Maybe you can take some more days off.
You take some days off so you can come back to work fully invigorated.
The rivals are all still in the game.
How can I step out?
I have been thinking,
What exactly is Li Zhicheng's strength?
I have found the answer.
He always has a group of people around him, who will give him help when needed.
He has an army.
And I have always been fighting alone.
Doing your homework?
I'm learning.
Good. You done with the interview?
Yes.
Remember I asked you to collect information about Snowy Smoke silk? How's it coming?
Ms. Lin, my great designer,
you have been obsessing over it since the contest.
Snowy Smoke. Snowy Smoke.
All I ever hear is you talking about the silk.
As a designer's assistant, if you don't even know about the silk
it'll be so embarrassing.
I think you should spend more time going out with your boyfriend.
When President Li starts using his tricks, you won't be able to handle.
He has any tricks?
He doesn't seem to have any.
And that's his winning move.
Innocent on the outside, full of moves on the inside.
Yayi, I think you know this better than anyone else.
I watched a lot of TV, that's all.
President Li, you are setting an example for your men by going out on a date with your employee, and in working hours too?
You will become a workaholic if you carry on like this.
You already skipped work. Why don't you leave it till tomorrow.
And you should let your boss take a break, too,
so he can have a good time with his girlfriend.
You are so full of it.
All right! I'll follow my boss's order and go out with you on a date.
Following an order? You are on a dangerous mission.
Weren't your missions all dangerous? Didn't they all end with a last-minute rescue?
Since you already think it's dangerous being with me,
let's go to somewhere dangerous.

♫ Shall we travel around the world? ♫
♫ Let me take you on an adventure to the rain forests, the north pole and the south pole? ♫
So slow?
♫ Ever since you walked into our glamorous time, ♫
♫ I can't stop looking your way. ♫
♫ And I'm not tacky, I swear. ♫
If I say I will,
Does it mean we can be together?
♫ Sweetheart, don't be wayward. ♫
♫ Follow me. ♫
♫ Every time the earth completes a full circle on its orbit, ♫
♫ My love for you will grow stronger. ♫
♫ The world never stops changing. Let it be. ♫

Four.

Six.
I've never gotten myself sweaty like this ever.
You need more exercise.
I...I should have...
I should have known
when you take me out on a date, it'll never be
to a fine restaurant or a movie theater,
places young couples go.
But I never thought you would take me to a gym!
You don't like work out with me?
No.
I do. I do. I do.
But I'm exhausted.
I'll show you something. I bet it'll cheer you up.
What's this?
H Group is having an auction.
I think you will like one of the items they are offering up for bid.
A Ming-style Snowy Smoke silk dress?
Snowy Smoke?
There is going to be a preview.
I got us in.
Okay then! You are forgiven.
I didn't know there was such a thing in Linhai
until I saw Senior use it in his design for the contest.
The technique is so well preserved, so unique.
I have always been looking for ways to bring ethnic culture into my design.
Yet I missed something so precious, something that's right here.
So it's a rare fabric?
Fabrics are where you start.
You can only build your edifice on a sturdy foundation.
Now that I've cheered you up, let's do another round or two of planks?
You wish!
