[ Our Glamorous Time ]
[ Episode 30 ]
Amanda, One thing I need to clarify.
My resume has nothing to do with me being a designer.
I think everything need talent and hard work.
Also, me being a designer has nothing to do with President Li of Aida.
If you have a problem with me, that's between us, leave other people out of this.
Y-Fancy's draft is hard work from all our colleagues.
At least you need to respect your co-worker.
Since we are being honest here, I will tell you the truth.
I don't think your department don't have what it takes to finish this job.
If I were you, I should be reflecting and rethinking.
Whether my department is capable of doing this.
If that's all, please leave now, I need to work.
Please.
Okay. May the best man win.
Hello, what's up?
I got the email. I think you are helping Amanda supressing Lin Qian.
This is not fair for Lin Qian.
Are you overreacted?
I think Don would do that because he already saw Lin Qian's draft.
He thinks Amanda's idea is more suitable for his style.
That's why he would authorities Amanda for this task.
But this way, Lin Qian has no say in Y-Fancy.
What do you mean by that?
I would like to ask you why she needs to have a say?
In work, whoever can do the job better.
Who has a say in this period of time, isn't that so?
But Lin Qian represent Aida's concept in design.
But Y-Fancy is a collaboration with Fancy.
For our partner's thoughts and decisions.
We need to respect rather than doubt.
Besides, a design company cannot reply on.
One designer forever.
But we are relying on Don. Is he more trustworthy than Lin Qian?
I know. Lin Qian is a designer with dreams and talent.
But we are doing business here, we are not helping your girl to finish her dream.
More importantly, her brother Lin Mochen is a important investor in Wall Street.
Based on her background, she can totally just pack her stuff and get her own studio.
Lin Qian can go this far, it's all by herself.
I don't think she wants to use her brother's influence.
Okay. Today is not a great day for us to continue this conversation.
So after this call, please calm down and think about.
What I just said, doesn't it make any sense to you?
Let's call it a day.
Qian.
I knew you don't have time to eat lunch.
Boss treat me for a free meal, you don't worry those jealous people would kill me?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You are right. It's Nietzche.
I heard that Amanda is giving you a hard time because our private relationship.
It's what I expected. Don't worry.
I am sorry.
I can't help you too much on this.
This might just a part of office life.
I was hesitating whether I should be with you.
This is what I was worried about.
But now, since we are together.
We have to face everything that follows.
Then did you come up with a strategy?
I will try my best, and let the work speak for me.
I always trust you.
Hello? Zhicheng, something happened at home, come back.
Okay.
What are they doing?
I don't know what happened today, Chairman lost his temper.
He wants to get rid of everything your brother owned.
Stop, you stop it right there.
Dad, what are you doing?
Shouldn't you be at the company?
Why did you come back home?
If I don't come back, are you going to throw all my brother's stuff away?
You have lost a couple of deals.
To Xinbaorui.
Music.
And you have the nerve to come back?
What are you looking at?
When you promote Ning Weikai.
I told you he is too ambitious to trust.
But you won't listen.
Now you have no power to fight back.
Zhiqian, you are such a disgrace!
Why? Why didn't you listen to me?
When did my dad start to have dementia?
Your dad forgets things often.
He would forget things he just told me.
But it's common in elderly people.
I didn't think too much of it.
Then why all the sudden he couldn't even recognize people?
A few times he called me by the wrong name.
But he never recognizes people wrong.
Zhicheng, I am sorry.
I didn't take care of your dad.
It's not your fault. Where is Jinyuan?
Jinyuan is not around a lot.
You knew, even if she is at home.
Your dad wouldn't talk to her much.
I know.
Mr. Li, your dad's condition is stabled now.
Judging by his symptoms, it's Alzheimer.
This is chronicle disease.
Usually, people around the patients don't know when it started.
And elderly who live alone is the main group for this.
What's the treatment plan?
Let's wait till we get to the hospital.
If that's all, I will go now.
Okay, thank you, doctor. Show him out.
This way.
You are really insincere.
We have agreed to walk, but you still came out in high heels.
Come on, I came straight from work.
If you knew how full my schedule is, you wouldn't say something like this.
If it weren't because I need to do you this favor, why would I come out?
You make yourself so busy.
A bit of walk is great for you.
It will help you sort out your thoughts and relax.
Don't think about those business stuff, just forget them for a second.
And walk with me.
What?
If we don't talk about work, I don't know what to say to you.
We can have more topic if we hang out more.
Stay there.
What's up?
The fabric in your hands, is that sateen or satin drill?
I don't know.
You don't know? If you can't tell these two apart, why would you ever work here?
I want satin drill, but you get me sateen.
I am there to get fabric for my co-worker.
And it only says satin.
I didn't know it was you.
Whether it was me or not, you need to figure out yourself before getting the fabric.
No matter if you're helping someone or yourself but if you do this then you're responsible for it.
You are picking on me.
If you do your job carefully enough, nobody can pick on you.
But you don't even know basic stuff.
Do you think you should be here?
I am sorry, you don't have the right to judge me how I do my work.
Don't pull rank here.
Don't think have a boss to support you so you can talk to me like this.
I am telling you.
I will call the HR department to reconsider your qualification.
What's up?
Yayi is working for me. Whether she is qualified to be here, is my decision.
Executive Lin, by protecting your staff like this, don't you worry about the criticism?
Staff make mistakes, people who can't endure any mistake.
Is very easily to get criticized.
The standard of Aida's staff is very uneven.
I am selecting for you out of kindness.
Amanda, I know you don't like me.
How about let's be honest.
No need to waste time one these tiny things.
Designer are all about details.
You have your insists, I have my principles.
If so, let the work speak for us.
Two sets of design, let the company decide which to use.
So it's clear whose idea is better. No need to stay in this deadlock.
Very well.
Let's see whose plan Y-Fancy is gonna pick.
And that person will be the leader for this project.
Okay.
I am sorry, i made a mistake.
And they caught it, and use it against you.
Her target is me. Picking on you is only.
Trying to make me look bad.
But that also remind you, pay more attention to details.
So people don't have the chance to gossip.
I know. But are you really going to compete with her?
I have no other way, otherwise she is going to keep starting trouble.
But you made the bet, that's what she wants.
Every designer will put feelings in their work.
In the end, we are just trying to do our work.
So whoever Aida picked is understandable.
If I need to work on a design that I don't like, I would be frustrated too.
If I lost, leave is an option.
You are very optimistic.
What? You think I would lose?
Of course not. My Qianqian.
Doesn't know how to pronounce failure.
Okay, stop playing.
She looks down on Chinese elements.
This design I will use Xueyan silk.
I will use Xueyan silk to make her admit that she was wrong.
Alzheimer disease.
How would dad get that?
Why did we notice so late?
Two years is not enough.
Why?Why?
Dad was in the hospital when he got sick last time.
Why didn't the doctors find out?
Who is his doctor?
He will take responsibility for this.
Brother, it's no use to do that now.
The doctor also said, this will happen to people over 75.
But to people over 50.
It has happened before.
The rate has nothing to do with wealth or environment.
Don't you know the reason?
I am sorry for my family. Sorry.
I know.
You never went back so many years in the army, there must be a reason behind it.
But you are back now.
It's good that you are back.
Wenda need you.
Our family need you.
How is it?
My dad is diagnosed now, it's turning from prime stage to the middle stage.
What is it?
Alzheimer.
I finally understand why dad would never go to the hospital.
Because he is afraid that after being diagnosed. The news might leak out.
Wenda's already problematic internal situation will get worse.
So it's time for Aida to come back.
So you are planning to get back to Wenda now?
I will bring my team, my projects.
Make Wenda a new company with its own independent brand.
Although something is not clear yet.
And Wenda's situation doesn't look so good.
But it should be fine, our team has been through some tough times.
But you need to be prepared, when you get back to Wenda, there will be some big fights for power.
I have gained so much for the past few months in Aida.
You, Lin Qian, and my brothers.
Since the design department has different opinions.
Then let's leave it to the bosses.
This will be a blind pick. They will only see the draft.
So don't need to worry.
Actually you don't need to complicate this.
Y-Fancy's new season is so important, and so many people are waiting for it.
Whether it's president Li or Grace.
I believe they will take it seriously, what do you think?
Boss Gu means, he wish everything can be more simplified.
After judgement without personal feelings is more accurate.
Yes. I just want it to be more simplified.
Simple and fair.
This is their design drafts.
This will be a blind pick. You will know whose it is.
After the final decision was made.
President Li.
I am sorry.
You can join in. If we have differences, your vote is crucial.
Okay.
I know you are very interested in Xueyan Silk.
You have invested me very thoroughly.
I am fresh off the boat, I need to know who I am dealing with.
Then what else do you know?
I also know you are a creative person.
You want to innovate, but that's hard.
If you never tried it, how would you know if it's hard?
I saw your design.To be honest, it's better than I thought.
I thought you were just a girl who get this position just because your boyfriend is the boss.
Thank you for thinking me that way.
But all these years of experience has taught me this.
Creativity cannot win everything.
The key is still money.
But design shouldn't just go where the money goes.
When I was your age, I want to use fox fur collar.
But that year fox fur was so expensive.
So my project was failed.
This is why so many designers would never use complicated fabrics.
Every designer has a dream.
But no matter how beautiful your dream is.
The reality will beat it down.
But we always need that first person to try tomato.
If you can't be adventurous.
Why are we here talking about creativity?
How does that saying go again?
if the designer didn't do it for the employer, all the hard work is for nothing.
You work in a fast fashion brand.
You must meet the expectation of your boss, not yourself.
I don't think fast fashion cannot be innovative.
You are going against the tide.
I am more afraid to go with the tide and drowned in norm core.
You knew this better than me, it's even more difficult for Aida to use this fabric.
There will be millions of people reminding you this, dragging you out of your dream.
They will tell you how cruel reality is.
I am never short on haters.
You can join the club.
I don't know why all of you stay here
but I know that this isn't what you want.
Lin Qian.
Amanda.
Your taste is quite different, my bosses.
President Li, say your opinions first.
My suggestion is that since what we're doing is Y-Fancy
That means we have to distinguish ourselves from Fancy.
As a collaboration of a Chinese company and a foreign brand, the Chinese element should be our highlight.
I think on this, Lin Qian did a great job.
She took the Chinese Element and ethnic styles.
Mixed it in an international way.
She did really great.
President Li has a good point, and Lin Qian's design never let us down.
Grace, what about you?
I think Amanda's design is trendy, full of energy.
It's closer to fashion icon's taste.
Lin Qian's design is good.
But...every picture is about.
Female's maturity, grace, knowledgeable, introvert.
I don't think the youngsters will pick this style.
So I personally like Amanda.
You are right too.But the reason Fancy is working with Aida.
That's because of our culture and Chinese elements.
I don't know if you looked this clearly enough.
All Lin Qian's work used Xueyan silk.
And this fabric will add 30% of the cost to every piece of our clothes.
Which means our profit will go down.
Once we put these producs to the market.
And the market don't like it.
Then you know how much risk we are taking.
So, in a secure point of view. I choose Amanda.
Every step Aida takes is crucial.
Then boss Gu, what's your choice?
Amanda.
I think Aida is not in a good place to develope Xueyan silk.
Since you have made your choice, I agree on your decision.
Y-Fancy's design plan for our new season.
The bosses pick.
Amanda.
Congrats.
Thank you.
Actually... Save it.
I know you are in a bad mood.
But the result is there.
I support your plan.
But I m the only one.
Actually in my heart, I had thought about this situation.
But I still wanna try.
Maybe there's another way.
But i still lost it.
My drafts will be just pieces of garbage , right?
Of course not, I will save them.
Actually we both like your design.
But the direction you are working on, is not best for our company.
But I don't want to give up this easily.
Xueyan silk need a lot of money.
So the company wants to choose a safer way.
So we can make sure we gonna have a great next season.
I can understand you.
But I just feel pity for...
You are right. Aida just started.
You can't take too much you can chew.
I am so glad that you can understand me.
What I promised you, I will never forget.
President Ning. Many days have past.
How is your plan?
I am all ready.
But there's one person need you to take care.
That's Gu Yanzhi.
Gu Yanzhi.
He is very loyal to Li Zhicheng, you want me to get him? Impossible.
Although he is loyal, he is not impossible to get.
Qianqian, are you really gonna give up?
Then we need to listen to Amanda from now on.
Since I don't have the power to change it, a bet is a bet.
Are you lying?
Lying is better than my awkwardness for unable to change the situation.
This means you admitted it!
Boss Li is talking you out of Xueyan silk.
You don't want that, but you pretend that nothing happened.
Aren't you sad?
What else can I do? Cry like a baby?
What if you just cry?
Sometimes cry helps.
If a woman is too independent, people stop caring for them.
Okay, I have you.
We can take a break, and let's shoot for next round.
Okay.
Are you tired, sister?
You must be tired, sister.
Yeah, I am very tired.
Like a robot doll. Standing here all day.
Can't they just take the pictures?
So many requests.
Yeah sister, the Water Code little blue box is so in trend.
So many people would like to have this opportunity.
I know.
But, only my gracefulness.
Is good enough for Water Code.
You are the best.
Also, this shoot is also a bonus for the designer competition.
You will be on H magazine.
Most importantly, the soon arrived male partner is so handsome!
Look at you.
Have you ever seen a man before?
What can you do with handsomeness?
Let me tell you. If I weren't a fan of Water Code.
I woul never be in this shoot.
This is Amanda's new proposal so Manager Lin Qian can give her opinion.
Her plan has been group texted through email.
We're still supposed to respond? We can't have a point of view.
No way. Amanda says,
Manager Lin can't escape giving her opinion. This is procedure.
You can see how busy we are right now.
Wait a while and when we've finished, we'll provide it.
No way. Amanda says,
right now, the entire Y-Fancy design department has the highest importance.
So I ask you to immediately, this minute arrange to give your assessment to me.
I'm asking you
which company rule tells us to do this for you?
Amanda says that you need to immediately arrange to do this.
Okay. My opinion is
this creativity in this pieced shirt is very similar to one G brand from last spring.
This one uses interplanetary elements is too close to the design
that was recently presented by L bran.
I understand Amanda using these for reference,
but using ideas that are too similar to the originals
can't be fixed by adding a few details.
On the contrary, it just detracts from the original.
This one's stylized handwriting designs and CL sweatshirts are almost exactly the same.
Enough. You don't need to say more.
Take all of your opinions and put them in a document.
Did I hear incorrectly, Miss?
Wasn't it you that insisted on passing on these communications?
Amanda says,
Manager Lin must personally formally record her opinion.
That way, we can use it for accuracy.
Oh, right. Put all of these opinions on a computer file.
Use 12 point bold font and then send it to me.
I suppose you can help Manager Lin do this.
Say that again.
I could say it several more times and it would be the same.
Amanda says,
- right now this company needs a strict procedure. - You...
This company hasn't had this kind of procedure before.
But since you have brought it up, you should write it up in Chinese.
Ask Amanda to put all of her proposals on file as well.
Use 12 point bold font. Thank you.
Okay. I will report your opinions back to Amanda.
However, within in one hour's time,
you must e-mail yur completed comments to me.
Okay. You also, within one half hour's time, e-mail your proposals to me.
I won't accompany you out.
What are you doing?
Amanda has said.I have to be a cell that followed all the procedure.
Do you think she is just picking bones from an egg?
You can stop doing this.
I will write it. Don't write if you don't want to.
Amanda said so.
It's been a long time.
Why are you here?
I am here to shoot, nobody told you that?
Why is your skin so good?
Silky and smooth, you look like a goddess as days passed by.
I can't take your compliment.
Do your job first. Look at the cameras.
Don't you think we could be a good match?
You can save it to all your internet celebrities.
I mean it.
Are you?
Then am I the 101 person who listened to this speech?
Can you two act less like enemies?
Yes, think you are partners.
Closer.
Yes, exactly. Closer right?
Okay.
Yes.
Is this good?
How about this?
Yes.
Li Jinyuan.
Keep it.
Be more closer!
You are stepping on the line.
How are you recently?
Recently?
I am fine, nothing big.
I am preparing to be back to Wenda, I might be busy.
Okay. You can work on your own stuff.
I know Amanda has some issue with you.
Sorry for that.
But Aida and Wenda need Y-Fancy to open up the market.
You can finish this season first.
We can talk about us after.
I know. Rest assured.
I will do my best.
Dad, why are you sitting on the ground?
Nobody can help him get up.
You dad just won't sleep now.
Who mentioned sleep, he would throw a fit and smash stuff.
Dad, let me tell you a story.
When I was a child and if I can't sleep.
You would tell me a story.
Let's tell a story.
About Edison.
Edison only went to school for three months.
And was kicked out.
But then he self taught to be a genius.
In his life, he invented over 2000 items.
And opened so many companies.
And Edison...
Li Zhicheng.
You knew him?
When will Li Zhicheng come back?
I miss him.
I am afraid.
What is this?
It just kept coming in.
What's up?
They talk about procedure all the time.
How many updates did they sent in such short amount of time?
Can't they just check it for once?
Scorn us about procedure, and they just use another version.
And find excuese like, oh creative work.
It's always changing. Then what about our creativity?
Ridiculous.
Okay, they are being unprofessional. We can't be like them.
No harm for checking one more time.
You can check it again.
