" Our Glamorous Time "
Episode 1
Boss, how much is this?
It's not for sale, those are for the retailers.
I like this a lot. Just sell it to me.
Miss,
you seem to have an eye for good stuffs.
Judge the man by his crops, judge the woman by her clothes.
This is the original hand-made embroidery patterns.
This craft has been lost for years.
You can't find it on the market now.
Boss, I really like this a lot, just sell it to me.
I am studying fashion design.
I came to Yunnan to gather materials...
in hope that I can find some inspirations through...
these traditional clothes.
Please, sell it to me.
Okay, I will sell it. That will be RMB 800.
- RMB 800? Sure. - Okay.
You came by yourself?
- Remember to watch your back. - Sure, thank you.
- Okay. - Here is the money.
It's all here.
Miss, let me tell you a secret.
Can you see the house over there?
Many old folks in that house know how to do the embroidery.
I don't usually tell people about this.
- Just straight ahead? - Yes.
Just go straight ahead and it's just over the house.
Okay, thank you. How nice of you.
Target acquired.
Miss, where are you going? Let me give you a ride.
The road ahead is rough, it's all mud.
It's okay, thank you.
Miss, just get on the car.
The stall owner?
I told you to get on the car.
Leech, the head of criminal organization.
The armed forces he leads is responsible...
for crimes at the South East Asia borders.
They are mainly drug dealer, human trafficker,
and armed smuggler.
As of now, he has infiltrated the Yunnan border.
He is a great threat for our border security.
Orders from the headquarters, our objective is to eliminate Leech.
Crush his army.
- Put on the camouflage. - Yes!
Captain, we found all of the mines.
They are all marked.
We can pass through here safely.
- Can you confirm Leech is in there? - Yes.
Monkey and I will lead Alpha Team and enter from the drawbridge.
Antelope will lead the Bravo Team and enter through the temple.
Grizz will lead Charlie Team and set the explosives.
- Headquarters? - Roger, radio is online.
We are all at the designated spot, ready to engage.
Copied that, commence the mission.
Follow my orders.
At 1530 hours, commence the attack.
Synchronize the clock.
The is the last mission before we leave the squad.
Mistake is not an option.
- Take her away. - Yes.
Alpha Team, enemy at your nine o'clock.
Miss, you are in a really bad luck today.
We already had a girl with us.
But she is too rebellious, we had to take her life.
So, we need a replacement.
Not bad.
Miss, enough of the tantrum.
You should be smart.
Stay still after you get the injection.
And if you can give our boss a child,
perhaps he can keep you alive.
Right? Okay, give her the shot.
Go.
Hold her down.
Enemies inbound!
- Hold her down. - Commence the mission!
Leech got away, he is at the 11 o'clock of the main building.
Alpha and Bravo Team, intercept him.
Charlie Team, copied! Intercepting the target!
- Monkey and Fox, cover me! - Yes!
To the main building, now!
Hurry!
Finish them off at the main building! Now!
Captain, visual contact lost! Shot cannot be taken.
Boss!
The base is in trouble!
Get the guns!
Get the guns, now!
A large group of enemies converging on main building. Fall back!
Faster!
Fall back.
Leech is heading towards the main gate, stop him!
Copied that.
Captain, Leech is moving to your direction.
Sector cleared, target eliminated.
- Copied that. - Copied that.
Put this on.
Secure the hostage, we are going downstairs.
- Cover us. - Copied that.
Wait.
Hurry up!
Woodpecker, blow up the watch tower!
Roger!
Suppressing fire!
RPG!
Fall back!
Grizz, detonate them! Scatter and fall back!
Regroup at the chopper!
Copied that!
After them!
Fall back!
I...
- Let's go. - I am afraid of height.
Hold onto me.
Let's go.
Hold on.
Can you walk?
Hold on, I will carry you.
Antelope.
Here.
How is the girl?
Her wound is treated and she's having intravenous fluids.
Take good care of her.
Hello? Ya Yi?
Qian Qian, you are finally answering my call.
What happened?
Can you see how many missed calls you have?
You worried me.
I am...
I am fine now.
It's too complicated to tell over the phone.
I will tell you once I am back.
What happened? Just be honest with me.
Did you find your love in Yunnan?
- You got married? - No.
I am...
I am fine. I really am.
I will tell you when I got back.
That's all. Call me later.
Doctor, where are the soldiers that saved me?
They got the wounds treated and left.
- They left? - Yes.
I didn't get to thank them.
The wound at your leg is quite severe. You should rest well.
Can you tell me their names?
It's confidential. Rest well.
Hello? Jin Yuan?
Brother?
Zhi Qian is...
What's wrong, Jin Yuan? Why are you crying?
Say something.
A car was found at the bottom of Lin River.
The driver was found drowned.
The victim was the CEO of Wen Da Corporation, Li Zhi Qian.
The police is investigating the cause of accident.
Up next, our detailed report on the news.
Mr. Ning Wei Kai is featured on the cover of Fortune magazine.
He is now known as the role model and icon...
for young entrepreneurs in Lin Hai City.
Can you give us some advices on how to be an entrepreneur?
Hard-work, talents and knowledge.
These are the elements you need to the path of success.
Of course, you need to know what the others expect from you.
What do you expect from Xin Bao Rui?
A clear goal is crucial for every company.
The goal of our company...
is to become the best of fashion industry in the whole of China.
Remarkable speech, Mr. Ning.
Let's have a round of applause for Mr. Ning...
to conduct the lucky draw for our second prize of the day.
The best?
When you took the clients from us, that doesn't feel like the best.
You plagiarized our product and sold at the lowest price.
- Have a fair fight if you dare. - Who are you calling plagiarizing?
Where is the proof?
Besides, Si Mei Qi's design is too outclassed to start with.
- What did you say? - You are outclassed!
- Who are you calling outclassed? - You!
Impressive, Mr. Ning.
Industrial information war and price war,
you seem to have total control over the situation.
Mr. Chen, you are doing well too.
Your sales platform has brought you quite the business.
And now, you have the online retailers.
All of the sales platforms are under your control now.
How can I possibly be slacking?
You have your hands around my neck now.
I can't just wait for you to strangle me to death.
We have another special guest at our event today.
Miss Grace from the H Group.
I am sure you must be curious...
as to why I am here at this event.
I am here...
because no matter now Glamorous the fashion industry is,
it can never leave the bricks and mortars.
I was told this very saying by someone.
But sadly,
today,
he won't be able to be here.
Before I start my speech,
I am asking that the ladies and gentlemen...
to have three minutes of silence...
for Mr. Li Zhi Qian...
the CEO of Wen Da Corporation...
who has just passed away.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen. Please, stand up.
Let's have a moment of silence.
Get on the car.
On the recent Lang De new arrival conference,
the editor in chief of H Group, Grace,
attended the conference as special guest.
The CEO of Wen Da, Li Zhi Qian died in an accident.
This might cause a major reshuffle of fashion industry in Linhai City.
The next CEO of Wen Da will determine...
the fate of fashion industry in Linhai City.
I am afraid of height. I am scared.
Each of you must vote wisely.
Understood?
I am sorry, allow my intrusion.
Gentlemen,
my father has been bed-ridden lately.
So I will be representing him for the board meeting today.
If you have any question, just ask away.
This is the first board meeting we have...
after Mr. Li Zhi Qian passing.
The market share of Wen Da has gone from 20% to...
the mere 8% we have today.
The stock has been falling.
We have over a thousand employees in the company.
Without the CEO, they are like headless flies.
We have to instate a new leader now.
- My father is in... - Wen Da belongs to all of us.
It's not the asset of Li family alone.
We have the right to voice too.
From now on,
we need a manager with professional experience...
to be the next CEO.
Qian Qian, here is a love novel for you.
'The Canon the Soldier Boy Fired'.
Please, accept it.
What is this? Away with you, I am working here.
I think you seem to be a little distracted lately.
Are you thinking about what happened at Yunnan?
Is the soldier six feet tall?
Does he have gorgeous six-pack abs?
When he rescued you,
he gave you a perfect profile from the side?
And he hold you tightly in his arms.
Ya Yi,
do you know when you are saying those things,
you look like a hormone driven teenage girl?
Love fantasy is all over your face.
You don't have a boyfriend. Did you learn everything from novels?
So, he saved you in Yunnan.
But you don't even know how he looks like or what his name is.
You might never meet each other again.
I am worried for you.
I wish I was the one being rescued.
Are you hallucinating or is it me?
I am looking for inspiring muse.
Did you get that?
Muse?
I...
will give you an inspiration.
See if you have any muse.
Notice for rent increase?
We need to pay the rent for whole year within the month?
These landlords are just like vampires.
All they ever do is increasing the rents.
We used all the cash to order the stocks from Wen Da.
Without their stocks,
we can't sell anything.
We can't recover the cash flow.
Wen Da did send us some stocks.
One hundred items in total. I sold 40 of them recently.
If we can deliver the dress,
the rent won't be a problem.
We might even earn a little extra money.
Good, that is great.
You really are working hard.
Hello? I am at the location as you said.
Mr. Li? What is this all about?
What are you doing?
Why are you driving so fast?
- What is the situation at Wen Da? - What does that mean?
I am afraid of water, I can't swim!
Answer my question.
Wen Da's performance has been falling short over the years.
Before he died, you brother wanted to transform the company...
to be more design oriented.
But our employees just don't have the talents.
We never found any suitable designer.
So, his plan was never realized.
How was the board meeting?
All of Wen Da's stocks are suspended.
The board members are fighting to gain control.
Wen Da is now in a hot mess.
Is there any solution for the situation?
We must never lose the control to someone else.
The Li family should take charge of the company.
What was all that for?
To test you. Under tremendous speed,
we get nervous and become incapable of lies.
You scared me half to death just to test me?
I want to hear the truth.
You can just ask me if you want to know that.
I am the deputy CEO, I will tell you.
The most terrifying thing on battlefield is not the enemy,
it's the comrade that betrays you.
What I want is a reliable team-mate,
someone who can have my back on the battlefield.
I hope we can make a good team together.
Do you really need the wig?
Here is something you don't know.
We have so many clothes in the shop.
We need to match different colours with different wigs.
The customers will have different a experience...
when they buy our clothes.
For example, the shirt you are wearing today.
I will get you a wig.
Every girl has a wig or two nowadays.
They can use different wigs to match different clothes.
That's how they look good in the outfit.
Hello?
Are you the owner of A Faint Smile?
- Yes, I am. - I bought a dress at your shop.
What is wrong with your dress? The colours fell off so soon!
I have an important performance tonight.
What am I supposed to do now? I am filing a complaint.
Please, don't do it. We are terribly sorry.
- Where are you now? - I am at the Sunshine Hotel.
Okay, I will come over and resolve the situation.
Please wait there.
What happened?
This is bad.
What's wrong?
Ya Yi, remember to check the stocks you got from Wen Da.
If the colours are falling off,
you must call the customers and negotiate a refund.
Minimize the loss. I am going out for a while.
Okay, stay safe.
What?
I washed this three times.
Miss Wang.
It's that bad.
I am the owner of A Faint Smile.
I am Lin Qian.
I am sorry for the trouble we caused you.
This is unexpected. I will double the refund.
A refund?
What good can that be?
This lousy dress is embarrassing me.
Please, I am here for a performance.
How am I supposed to go on stage in this?
If the performance goes wrong, I won't be able to work here again.
Is this something a refund can help?
I am really sorry, Miss Wang.
I brought another dress from our shop.
It's your size, please try it on for the time being.
This dress doesn't fit.
It can't be, I got it according to your size.
The dress had straps on it.
I bought the dress with smaller size, don't you know that?
A strap design?
Miss Wang, please hand me the dress.
I will modify it for you.
Chen Zheng, Si Mei Qi's current CEO.
Si Mei Qi is the biggest company in Linhai City...
when it comes to online marketing ecosystem.
Their main focus is online retailing and fast moving consumer goods.
Chen Zheng is specialized in online marketing.
He likes to create gossips.
He is now the most Glamorous endorser of his own brand.
Ning Wei Kai, CEO of Xin Bao Rui.
Graduated from England's top college. Low profile and subtlety is his style.
Ever since he got the baton,
Xin Bao Rui's market share has been rising.
He is known as the role model for young entrepreneurs.
His goal is to make his own brand...
- Have a seat. - into premium products.
Mr. Chen, you know how to enjoy the atmosphere.
Get a glass.
Thank you.
Grace, Mr. Ning from Xin Bao Rui and Mr. Chen of Si Mei Qi...
is having a meal at the restaurants.
The youngest son of Li family, Li Zhi Cheng is here.
No one know how it goes actually.
Do you have any news?
Zhi Cheng is a mysterious man.
I don't have news on him either.
I heard the higher-ups haven't seen him in person yet.
But as far as I know,
he has been serving in the army.
He doesn't know much about the fashion industry.
He won't be hard to deal with.
Either the way,
we have no idea who will have control over Wen Da.
With such a grand bounty in front of us,
why don't we...
split it up and share it?
Well said.
I will come up with a plan for Wen Da.
Take advantage of a man in need.
I even have a play in mind.
But I am curious, what is Grace's motive today?
My motive is not important.
What's important is,
you are enemies for all we know, but secretly befriending each other.
This can be jaw-dropping for a lot of people.
