" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 31
She is overstepping.
Qian, look at this.
This is clearly a jointed design.
The light chiffon is used at the front.
But the weight at the back is so heavy.
And it has so many strings as decorations.
It will be very back-heavy and cause so much discomfort.
How can she not see this? What a fool.
Not bad, Ya Yi. You do learn something.
If someone inexperience like me can see it,
she needs to be a fool to have overlooked this.
Besides,
if we mention this to Amanda,
she will accuse us of picking a fight. And her assistant...
will not doubt bare her fangs at us.
But,
if we don't tell her,
it will soon be sent to production line.
That is a even bigger problem.
You are right.
Very well,
compile it and print a copy for me. I will talk to them.
Okay.
I don't want these minor details. I want it to be clean and minimal.
Okay, I will change it right away.
This is nice. The two lines are okay.
- Leave the lines there. - Amanda.
I have something urgent to talk about.
Do you have a minute?
Go ahead and say it. I am working.
- The line here... - Look at this draft.
We must intercept it before it went into production.
Come to my office.
Amanda, you asked for me?
Are you new to being my assistant?
Sorry, Amanda. Did I do something wrong?
Your design draft was already denied. Why is it in the final version?
I am sorry, I must have made a mistake.
Come, lay it down here and show it to everyone.
Let us have a look at your design.
See?
The front uses a light-weight material.
And the back design is too complicated.
From the aspects of material and design,
it will make the clothing become back-heavy.
You call yourself my assistant? And you want to be a designer?
Amanda, I think I told you about this problem before.
I just want to show that...
- I am... - Perhaps it's a miscommunication.
And that is the greatest mistake.
If you need the others to point out your mistake,
sorry, you don't belong to this team.
Amanda, give me another chance. I know what I did wrong.
A chance for you? What about me?
Who will give Ai Da the chance when this clothing got out?
Luckily, Director Lin was here.
If she hadn't found out in time,
- the consequences will be severe. - It's her!
She is having a revenge.
- This is because of the document... - Mind your words!
You are becoming more arrogant.
Director Lin suggested this problem for the good of the company.
What I asked from you is for the good of the company, understood?
I think the joint design isn't bad.
We just have to readjust the material and cutting.
Time is short, let me handle the draft.
Director Lin, I can take care of my own work.
Stay your hand away from the drafts.
Director Lin,
I will leave this to you.
It's all right.
- Amanda. - Out now!
Where were we? About the two buttons?
Ya Yi.
Come, help me out.
Director Lin, this is my first draft.
Thank you.
This is the main focus. Look.
Director Lin, I designed this.
You can come to me if there is a problem.
You don't have to snitch on me to my superior.
I will make this clear to you.
I was the one who found the problems.
Most importantly, only Amanda can deny these drafts.
Talking to you won't do any help.
If this draft when into production,
can you afford to pay for the compensation?
I have no reason to talk to you.
- I will talk to Director Lin. - Because you know it's your fault.
Think about it. Amanda lectured you in front of everyone.
She is putting the company before you.
There was no way we could have stopped her.
That's enough. Time is running short.
We must send the final design into production tomorrow.
If there is anything else, we will discuss it later, okay?
You are just a bunch of bullies!
We are the bullies?
Enough.
Hurry up, start working.
Curse that petty woman.
What's wrong? What is on your mind?
Don't be too upset.
Whether it's work or life,
there will always be something that goes against out will.
You have done what you can for her.
Don't blame yourself.
Actually, I didn't come here to talk about Lin Qian.
Ai Da will be handed over to Wen Da.
But Ai Da barely got on track.
Wen Da needs a strong leader to.
Otherwise, it will fall apart.
There are many old and experienced higher-ups in Wen Da.
If you go back at this moment,
you can't even tell your friends from foes.
I thought about delaying this.
But we are out of time. It must be done now.
Is it because of your father?
I will bring Y Fancy with me.
I know you contributed much for Y Fancy's success.
But the H Group will never team with a sinking ship like Wen Da.
I know.
So for the shares you invested in Ai Da,
I will buy it all back.
But with a higher price, higher than what you paid.
Okay, I will represent the H Group to thank you.
Why are you still here?
I gave you a ride home, how about a thumbs-up?
Four stars.
One star off for talking too much.
Jin Yuan.
I like you.
Jin Yuan.
Back in high school,
we may not have talked much,
but I always have a special feeling for you.
You know? Every time you walked by,
I will gaze upon you...
until I lost sight of you.
What your favourite outfits were,
your favourite hairstyle, how many times you smiled,
or even the time you talked to the boys.
I remember everything.
Especially when you talked to the boys,
it makes me so mad.
This feeling has been a burden in my heart.
But today, I can't stand it anymore.
I won't hide it anymore. Jin Yuan.
I want you to know. I like you.
What is wrong with you?
- Are you out of your mind? - No.
My mind is perfectly clear.
You know?
There is no other lady that can win my heart except you.
From this moment on,
I will be officially wooing you.
You are mad. You should be at a bedlam now.
Give me more time to wait for you.
When tears are running in your eyes,
and your make-ups are smudged,
promise me you will leave your heart with me.
You stop looking at me in the eyes...
I don't care if you believe me or not.
I am showing you my resolve.
I don't care what you think about me.
Because I know that one day,
my resolve and my actions will win your heart.
Jin Yuan.
Today, I have told you what I have to say.
After you are home, please give it some thoughts.
Give me some time and I will wait for you.
Give me your hand.
I will make you happy.
And now I am crazy for you.
For you.
Hiding right quietly under your wind coat.
Feeling the love from the look in your eyes.
No matter what they say,
your kiss can heal everything.
It's raining cats and dogs out there.
I thought you are not coming.
I won't refuse a date with you.
Wherever I go,
the most wonderful view is you.
Cheers.
In a dress of white,
I will be drawn into your novel.
What's wrong? Still worried about Ai Da?
The most familiar night-view...
It's must have been hard being their partner.
From a business's perspective,
he is indeed not an ideal partner.
But from love's perspective,
I think a lot of girls...
would hope to meet a man like him.
All the luggages...
are left in your home.
Wherever I go...
Personally speaking, I think a more ideal love...
is to uphold our own goals and stands.
But at the same time, understand and love one another.
Isn't this a little too realistic?
I think this kind of love is really hard to come by.
The most familiar night-view...
brings us the most unfamiliar thoughts.
And we will flip through the page that will keep our memories...
forever.
You are such a scoundrel.
Why did you say those things to Jin Yuan?
Don't you think what you said just now are disgusting?
She and I are both unmarried.
Anyone would love a fair lady.
I like her. That is none of your business.
A play-boy like you who has no proper interest,
there must be motive behind your decision to woo her.
Look at you.
Always judging me by the old feud.
I know you like Jin Yuan.
But bear this in mind.
A small grunt with no specialty, staying with the princess.
That doesn't sound absurd to you?
Whether I deserve her or not is not important.
For her, what is important is who cares for her...
loves her whole-heartedly.
That's what matters.
Do you really think true love will win her over?
Listen closely, Gu Yan Zhi.
In Li Zhi Cheng's eyes, you are always a servant.
Whatever a servant contributed,
the others will take it for granted.
Which is why he won't let you be with his sister.
My life is none of your concern.
I don't care what is your motive for approaching Jin Yuan.
I won't let you have it your way.
Stay away from her, or I won't show any mercy.
Let's have a fair fight.
A kind reminder for you,
I always act swiftly.
Qian Qian, can we go home now?
Bolder. Yes.
Another stance.
Okay, let's take a break.
We will shoot the next set later.
Excuse me, everyone. I am Jin Yuan's friend.
You did a great job today. I made some pastries for you.
Here.
- Thank you so much. - Help yourselves.
- Thank you.
Cover up. There is a crowd here.
Jin Yuan, these taste amazing!
This is a masterpiece!
Your friend here is so thoughtful.
- Eat as much as your want. - Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
So, why are you here?
How long will it take? I will give you a ride home.
There is one last set after this.
Mr.Chen is here to visit Miss Jin Yuan.
Here are some yoghurts and snacks for everyone.
This is nothing. You did a good job today.
Buffalo milk yoghurt!
Right, it can be used as meal shake.
What brings you here?
I am here to visit you.
This yoghurt can keep you full.
Since you are here for Jin Yuan,
you should be more generous.
It seems like your salary doesn't pay well.
Chen Zheng, keeping your mouth shut won't kill you.
It's okay.
Excuse me.
They are delicious!
Okay, I got it.
I will be right there.
Jin Yuan, I have work at the office.
I might have to go back now.
Go ahead.
I will pick you up tonight.
- Never mind. - Never mind, we have a date tonight.
Since you are busy, you should get back to your work.
I will call you later.
Your jacket.
Can't you just leave me alone?
- Let's go. - Sure.
Amanda.
- What's wrong? - Before we find the truth,
- let's talk this through. - She leaked my designs.
- There is no reason to talk now! - What?
Qian Qian was up all night fixing your assistant's draft.
What are you talking about?
Still trying to deny it?
Look at this. This is the proof.
Not bad.
On one hand, you said you'll correct the design draft.
But at the same time, you leaked the draft...
to a foreign website for designers.
I never thought you are so unethical.
I didn't post this.
How is this even...
You posted my designs to a foreign discussion website.
And it said you were asking for a solution.
Are you trying to get help?
Enough of your nonsense, Qian Qian...
will never leak any secret of this company.
Look closely.
Isn't this your account for the designers' forum?
I am sure everyone can see it.
I remember it now.
I was sleeping at the front hall.
I think I hear someone walk into the room.
Right, I heard the clicking of a mouse.
At first, I thought it was you.
It wasn't me. Who is it?
The two of you can stop acting.
Whatever, I don't care who did this.
Mr. Gu, I demand an explanation for this.
Qian Qian.
I believe Lin Qian will never do something like this.
But Amanda is wreaking havoc because of this.
You know it too. Rumours are always fearsome.
I can't go in brazenly to defend her.
Wait, when are you coming back?
I have urgent matters to attend to.
Take care of it for now.
Right.
Ask Lin Qian what she thinks about this case.
You want me to ask your girlfriend?
I don't even know what the woman I like is thinking about.
I will make myself clear today.
I was the only person there when the drafts were sent.
Punish me all you want. It has nothing to do with Qian Qian.
Talking to an mere assistant is a waste of time.
Ask your superior to come here.
My superior? That would be Qian Qian.
You are picking on her because she is a nice person.
All you ever did is bullying her. Come at me if you dare!
I am the bully? I am following the rules!
I am sorry. Bully is not the right word.
Precisely speaking, it's framing!
You are jealous because her designs are better than yours.
If she hadn't put up with you for the greater good, what's next?
I won't go unless I get to the bottom of this.
What are you doing?
You are having a quarrel in the company.
Can't you see there is a crowd here?
Grace, you came at a right time.
Don sent me here to direct the cooperation.
I am not here to be disrespected by an employee!
The standard of Ai Da's employee...
is beyond my patience.
Why are you two in a fight?
Fine, as a director,
I have no reason to squabble with an assistant.
I stay silent even when my designs are leaked.
But an assistant is here to disrespect me and lecture me?
- I wish to know the reason too. - Because you are framing us!
You are a bully that plays innocent!
- Mind your tongue! - Fine, I got it now.
This is about the leaked design drafts.
I will have Mr. Gu investigate this and get to the bottom of it.
I will give you an explanation.
But Ya Yi, you are standing in the office.
There is a clear hierarchical structure here.
To yell at a chief designer,
does that seem adequate?
That's enough for today. Get back to your post.
She is just a girl, don't mind her.
As for what happened today, we will find the truth.
Get back to your work.
I know about the draft.
I didn't do it.
Enough, I believe in you.
Just focus on your own designing.
Don't be bothered by these displeasure.
Leave everything to me.
Wasp is investigating.
Truth will be out soon.
Ai Da needs you.
So do I.
Okay.
Get back to your wok.
I will be fine.
An inexperienced designer like yourself could come so far...
all because you are lucky.
Please, don't simply waste away your luck.
Someone who uses her boss to get high ranks is nothing new to us.
I ran a background check on your before I came here.
if it wasn't for the support From Ai Da's president,
you have no right to lecture me as a designer.
Chinese elements are fashion when used by renowned designers.
But those are mere decorations.
Do you think such designs will become famous...
and popular among the people?
It's all hyped and gone.
Mr. Li.
Amanda and her thug are framing Qian Qian for leaking the drafts.
She is planning something ill. Why aren't you doing anything?
I know that.
Then do something!
You can't just watch while she is being framed!
Can you prove Lin Qian's innocence?
I...
No.
What is the meaning of this?
This is why you are not doing anything?
You should be on our side and trust us!
I always believe her, not a second of doubt.
The drafts are leaked through Lin Qian's account.
We have no evidence to prove Lin Qian's innocence.
Am I supposed to fire Amanda,
fire all those who have ill intents to seal their lips?
Not only will this not help her, it will ruin her career, okay?
A bunch of big-talks and no help at all.
Lin Qian is my girlfriend. I love her more than anyone.
I have Wasp in charge of the investigation.
What we must do now is to prove Lin Qian's innocence,
not to defend without reasons.
Yes, she is your girlfriend.
But she is my good friend.
You will do nothing while she is being bullied and framed?
Do you even deserve her love?
No proofs. Blindly framing us.
You are designer, and a nobody at that.
Arrogant fools.
Stop getting so mad.
You will only put yourself in bad mood.
How can I not be mad?
It pains my heart to see how she framed you.
I don't want you to be hurt.
I hate to see the smirks on their face.
Curse those smirks!
I am fine.
Ya Yi.
I decided to resign.
Pass this letter to Mr. Li for me.
Resign?
Wait.
What is this all about?
This is not your fault. Why are you resigning?
It should be Amanda who is leaving!
There is no right or wrong in this matter.
Having a fallout won't help either of us.
Even if I stay in Y Fancy, my job is to make minor adjustments.
These are not the work I wanted.
Since I am leaving,
- I couldn't care so much now. - But, Qian Qian,
have you told Mr. Li about this? He won't agree to let you leave.
I was planning to tell him.
But I just couldn't say it when I am facing him.
I believe whatever it is or what happens next,
he will always be on your side and believe in you.
Are you really willing to leave him?
Of course I can't bear to leave him.
But...
Mr. Li...
has his own goal and I have my own path to take.
Pass this letter for me.
Anyway,
wherever you go, I will follow.
What brings you here?
I came here right after I got the letter.
What's the matter? You are not letting me in?
Come in.
I want you to take back the letter.
I said my thoughts in the letter.
- I won't retract it. - I will never read it.
I will never accept it.
Zhi Cheng, I am no longer your worker.
I have the right to make my own decision.
If this is because of Y Fancy, I can solve it.
This is not about having a solution.
It's me that failed to adapt.
I can't bring myself to face you.
Since the first day I came to Ai Da,
all I wanted is to perfect my designs.
I don't want anything to do with you.
But we fell in love in the end.
I thought I could run away from this issue,
to avoid all the harm from an office romance.
What I didn't expect is that...
the relationship we are having...
has become the weapon to hurt me in my career.
I don't want another person to say I came this far because of you.
I am tired of these claims.
Qian.
I am sorry.
I was too preoccupied in work and forgot about your feelings.
It was my mistake. I am sorry.
This is something...
I have been thinking for a long time.
I stayed in Ai Da...
all because of you.
I tried to persuade myself.
I think we have went through so much together.
I shouldn't give up so easily.
But now,
I didn't persist.
I can no longer face that fact.
You don't have to care about what the others think.
Don't hurt yourself because of those who are not worth it.
Qian.
I know you have a dream.
But there is a process to everything.
Give me more time.
Let's wait this out.
But,
I can't keep forcing myself to do something I don't like.
Just like this very moment.
No matter how much I love you,
I can't force you to leave Ai Da...
and start a new business with me.
Love is not about demanding.
Are you really willing to leave?
What I couldn't bear to leave is you.
But I am even more scared...
that the shackles of our jobs...
will make me...
distance myself from you.
You are so beautiful girl.
I will be at the office tomorrow to ensure the transition goes smooth.
If you truly understand me,
you should let me go.
Right after...
I left the company,
I want to spend some time alone.
I will give some thoughts to...
the path I should take next.
Qian Qian.
Ya Yi?
I need to talk to you.
I will leave you two be.
Don't be burdened with this decision.
Rest well.
I will pay you another visit later.
I am sorry.
It's all my fault.
I am so terribly sorry.
Qian Qian.
I have made so many mistakes.
I feel like I am always the trouble-maker.
Just like the time when I ruined the robe.
You were cleaning the mess I made.
I can't even differentiate satin and sateen.
All the clothes I designed are simply ridiculous.
That's how Amanda got a hold of you and insulted you.
I am to be blamed for the leaked drafts as well.
I have been thinking.
If I hadn't fallen asleep that day,
Amanda won't have the chance to frame you.
You are hurt because of me.
And now you are losing the job.
Ya Yi, Amanda is being personal to me.
It has nothing to do with you. Don't be concerned.
No, you were guiding me since you first opened the shop.
I was never a hard-working person.
I always slack off work and spend my time watching dramas.
And I always go online shopping.
I am basically using my time to receive and open the parcels.
You always told me to learn something.
But I was just pretending to learn.
Headache, stomach-ache, I pretended to be ill.
I lied to you.
I know you've been tolerating me.
Qian Qian,
I have made up my mind.
I will resign tomorrow.
I am attending classes to make up for my lack of knowledge.
I want to learn something better.
I can change myself for the better.
After all, your assistant can't be a loser.
Am I right?
Who says you are a loser?
If you are resigning to further your study,
you will have my full support.
After all, we have long to go as a designer.
We need to keep learning new things to be creative.
You can finally understand the importance of learning.
- I am so happy for you. - Qian Qian,
I may be very sloppy,
but my brain isn't all empty.
See, it's not hollow. Right?
- It's not empty. - Let me hear it.
It's not empty.
It's filled and solid.
Rest assured, I will work hard. I won't let you down.
Good luck.
- Good luck. - All the best.
Stop crying.
I can't keep forcing myself to do something I don't like.
But I am even more scared...
that the shackles of our jobs...
will make me...
distance myself from you.
If you truly understand me,
you should let me go.
Lin Qian.
I want to have a word with you.
You are really resigning?
- Yes. - How is that possible?
Li Zhi Cheng agreed to this?
I talked to him. He agreed.
But why are you doing this?
Is it because of the leaked design?
Or is it because Amanda?
Trust me, you don't need to resign.
Socializing with people and office politics,
everyone will face it eventually.
I am aware of that, Mr. Gu.
I didn't resign...
because of Amanda or anyone else.
This is my own decision.
We will be handed over to Wen Da soon.
This is when Mr. Li needs you the most.
He has you by his side.
You are also the force that drives him forward.
I may have left, but I will still support him.
I will always stay with him.
