" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 37
You need to understand.
Throughout the life we lived,
parting with family is inevitable.
But we can't simply run away from life because of this.
As we live on, we carry the duty of life.
Sometimes, I am really envy of my father.
He is ill,
yet he doesn't know about anything.
He remembers nothing either.
They say...
ignorance is bliss.
I wish to be ignorant as well.
Jin Yuan.
I can't be of much help for you now,
but I think there is a way to feel a little better.
Let it all out.
Cry as much as you like.
The letter of intent for George. Have a look.
This is great. We can finally get this over with.
It's okay, I don't need to read it. I trust your capabilities.
Let me call Cindy up here.
Hello? Come in for a minute.
What are you doing? We are in the office!
- Let go of me! - My hand!
- Get up, let me have a look.
Are you all right? Let me have a look.
You are so childish.
- Cindy. - Boss, you asked for me?
Send the letter of intent to George.
Very well.
Grace, I shut the door and windows for you.
Watch it!
I modified the recipe for these dishes.
This is called 'Childhood Memories'.
This, is called 'One Step Away'.
And this is named after a song.
Wherever you go,
whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Do you know what that was?
What is that smell?
As for this,
I need a grand entrance for this.
The lotus seed soup represents the days you flirted with Chen Zheng.
I changed the recipe specially for this.
It's called 'My Heartbreak'.
When did I ever flirt with Chen Zheng?
It was him...
who sticks to me like a cursed fly.
I don't care, my heart was broken.
You must try it out.
Then, you can finally understand how I felt at that moment.
Come.
The culprit for your death is arrested.
You can now rest in peace.
Yes.
You brought us up.
You are like a big brother.
I never thought someone as righteous as you...
would be plotted by that vicious Xue Ming Tao.
Perhaps this is what they called the destiny's jealousy.
But whatever it is, I must thank you.
I met a great rival because of you.
I also met the woman I love the most.
Rest assured, from now on,
I will take good care of her for you.
When love comes
I can feel your gentle.
I don't know if it's impulsive or I'm being moved.
You looked down to the ground.
If, your heart beats...
will make me out of words.
I believe you understand it as well.
Your arrival is the prettiest, touching moment.
I believe.
No matter how time has passed,
when I look at you, my tears...
stops to fall.
Come.
This is a gift from Madam Geng when I hit rock bottom.
She was hoping I can realize something from this embroidery.
It took me a long time.
I think each head of the Nine-Headed Bird represents an emotion.
Sadness, anger, cheers, upset.
It's just like us. We have only one body,
but on the inside, we are full of emotions.
But we can only use one of the emotions...
to guide our life.
Zhi Cheng.
Do you remember what are the duties of a soldier?
Tell me about them.
Soldiers are born for war,
and will die for peace.
We save the people in times of turmoil.
We save the nation from falling.
In times of danger we leave the risk to no one.
We will fight for the good of the nation.
It's just like when you are on the battlefield.
When you saw your comrades fall one by one,
I believe you won't let sorrow and fear take over your heart.
You will pull yourself together.
Pick up the weapon and eliminate the enemies.
That's because you know what are the duties of a soldier.
Wen Da is just like another battlefield for you.
Whatever your brother didn't get to finish...
will be your duties.
I believe you understand it as well.
Your arrival...
is the prettiest, touching moment.
I believe.
Even years later,
we will sit together in the photos of...
Grey and white.
Before the voting starts, I have something to say.
Do you still remember how Wen Da started off as?
Back then, my father rarely came home.
The office of Wen Da was his second home.
And all of you are his family.
Wen Da went from a small OEM to the massive firm it is today...
thanks to your contributions.
But ever since your brother died in the accident,
Wen Da has lost its directions.
All of your hard-work and efforts...
were used by those with ill intentions.
Doesn't that pain your heat?
After I retired from the army, I finally realize why my father...
tried pain-painstakingly for Wen Da.
I am a soldier.
A soldier answers the call of duty.
Bringing Wen Da back to its glory shall be my duty.
Please have faith in me.
I will turn the tide for Wen Da.
Wen Da needs a new helmsman.
I vote for Li Zhi Cheng.
Li Zhi Cheng is inexperienced.
He just came back from the army.
- Is this a joke? - He has no experience.
That's right!
No one is born with the knowledge of business.
All of us here...
learned to do business one step at a time.
But he just retired from the army. He needs room for improvement.
Wen Da belongs to the Li family.
I vote for Li Zhi Cheng.
I vote for him too.
Me as well.
Four against four. It's a draw.
I have a vote. I vote for Li Zhi Cheng.
A person who never attended the meeting...
has no right to vote.
That's right.
She is a shareholder. She has the right to vote.
That is the majority of the votes.
From now on, Li Zhi Cheng will be Wen Da's next CEO!
Thank you for trusting me and your support.
I won't let you down. I will bring Wen Da back on tracks.
Next, I will appoint my right-hand man, Gu Yan Zhi...
as the deputy CEO of Wen Da.
Mr. Ning, George wish to have a word with you.
George?
What's is it?
No idea, perhaps its about the project on Xue Yan Twill.
Okay, let him in.
Very well.
The fabric of Xue Yan Twill...
possesses great potential on modern day fashion industry.
However, we have found an issue.
What may that be?
My team found out that mass-producing Xue Yan Twill...
can only be done through a large scale production.
If we are to simplify the craft to achieve mass production,
it will affect the quality of the fabric.
I have taken this issue into consideration.
But we cannot lower the quality of Xue Yan Twill.
Now, we have to take the route of large scale mass production.
If that is the case,
the initial investment will sky-rocket.
The business risk will exceed our prior expectation.
What do you mean?
You are backing out?
No.
We simply wanted to renegotiate the terms.
What is it?
We want the holding right over Xue Yan Twill.
The holding right?
That will never happen.
This is the craft of China.
We will have the holding rights over it.
This is my baseline.
If that is what you want,
you should get yourself another cooperating partner.
As far as I know,
there is no company that is interested in Xue Yan Twill.
Think this over.
- Grace! - What brings you here?
What is wrong with George?
He went to my office and tried to rob me in broad daylight!
He said he wants the holding right over Xue Yan Twill.
Do you know about this?
He never said anything to me. How did this happen?
He said the developing of Xue Yan Twill exceeded his expectations.
So, he wants to renegotiate the terms.
That was not how he reacted before.
What is going on here?
Could someone be behind this?
Think about it, if this project succeeds,
whose's benefit will be affected the most?
Ning Wei Kai?
Why are you here?
Why can't we talk in the office?
Tell me,
George is demanding for the holding right of Xue Yan Twill.
Is this your doing?
What if it is?
Listen, I made my compromise on this matter.
If it were up to me, I would have sold it to the foreigner.
I don't have to do anything to earn money.
Isn't that great?
Why would you do this?
You are selling Xue Yan Twill to the foreigner?
Good, wipe that smirk of yours.
Listen, the project for the Xue Yan Twill...
doesn't belong to any single individual.
This is the project of the whole Xin Bao Rui.
Only the board can decide its fate.
We will have a voting for this.
Fine, we will call for a vote.
But you must remember, Ning Wei Kai.
You are merely working for Xin Bao Rui.
There is something you shouldn't ask too much for.
We will see at the board meeting.
Who do you think you are?
The result is out.
The final decision for the project of Xue Yan Twill...
is that Xin Bao Rui will be selling the intellectual property...
to the foreign country of Seville.
Zhu Han Chong.
Be honest with me, what exactly happened?
What else can it be? The board agrees with me.
You think too highly of yourself.
How is that possible?
But sister, why can't you just admit that...
your little brother is capable of solving the problem?
If only you can use the boldness and skills on your work,
I will give you a standing ovation.
But you didn't, you just want to go against Ning Wei Kai.
You pushed him at every corner. You are being childish and reckless.
I will be honest with you. I did this for you.
For what exactly?
Just because you are blind doesn't mean I am as well.
Anyone with a sane mind can tell that you like Ning Wei Kai.
What about him?
He's been using you.
Impossible, he didn't use me.
Ning Wei Kai is working on the Xue Yan Twill for Grace!
When the time is right, one has the money and network.
And the other knows designs and business.
We will be of no use for them.
Do you really think a little favour will make him stay?
Fine, think about it.
This the office for CEO of Wen Da.
Are you excited?
Because of Xue Ming Tao, the company was a mess.
Zhao Wen Zhuang gave up his shares and left.
To be on this seat,
we really went through a lot.
But now, you can finally have a seat here,
nice and easy.
Let's welcome the new CEO of Wen Da,
Li Zhi Cheng!
Get out of here! Get out!
I won't let you sell my precious art to the foreigners!
Zhu Han Chong? Why are you here? What's wrong, teacher?
He is selling the Xue Yan Twill to the foreigners!
It can't be helped.
The contract said Xin Bao Rui owns the Xue Yan Twill.
We can sell it however we want,
to whoever we want.
That is not what Ning Wei Kai told me!
He said he'll personally work on the Xue Yan Twill!
Work on it? How?
It take a long time and much costs to make Xue Yan Twill.
To make the project a success, we need to mass produce it.
From what I see, Xue Yan Twill is never a good cause.
Ning Wei Kai simply gave Xin Bao Rui a piece of hot potato.
What about Ning Wei Kai? Does he know about this?
Of course! He learned his mistake now.
So he agreed to sell the Xue Yan Twill.
I thought you wanted the world to know about Xue Yan Twill.
I am helping you.
Ning Wei Kai is just another liar!
You two worked together to scam me!
Fine, I am done talking to you.
I only came here out of respect for my partner.
I am informing you on behalf of Xin Bao Rui.
Okay, goodbye.
Mr. Ning.
You should appease your business partner.
Zhu Han Chong?
Goodbye.
Teacher, calm down. Let me think of something.
Senior, what is going on here?
Zhu Han Chong just came here.
He said you agree to sell Xue Yan Twill to the foreigners.
You actually agreed to this? What exactly is going on?
Madam Geng.
I am terribly sorry.
I didn't hold up to my promise.
Ning Wei Kai, I trusted you so much.
I handed it to you. I thought you were the right man.
I am sorry. I understand that.
- This is all my fault. - Do you even know?
Do you know how many generations the Xue Yan Twill was passed down?
It's being sold because of your own mistake.
How am I supposed to face the ancestors of Geng family?
- Teacher, don't be upset. - I am done talking to you. Leave.
Lin Qian, see him out.
- Teacher. - Madam Geng?
Qian, I never expected things would turn out like this.
The situation is now beyond my control.
Now that it happened, is there a way to save it?
As of this moment,
I haven't had any solution.
Hello, Zhi Cheng? Bad news.
The Xue Yan Twill is now in the hands of Ning Wei Kai.
But something happened with the business deal.
Ning Wei Kai agreed to let Zhu Han Chong sell it to foreigners.
I believe there is some kind of reason for this.
But we can't sell the Xue Yan Twill to the foreigners.
Zhi Cheng, help me think of a plan.
What should we do now? Madam Geng is very upset about this.
Qian, calm down.
I will get the details about this matter.
Zhi Cheng, you must help me out.
Do something, you must stop Xin Bao Rui and Zhu Han Chong.
Okay, leave it to me.
Whatever means you choose,
Xue Yan Twill must not fall into the hands of Seville.
Actually,
there might still be a way out. However,
it is the last resort.
What is it?
Li Zhi Cheng.
We need people from Wen Da to aid us.
But, Li Zhi Cheng and I...
are both business rivals.
We've been enemies for so long.
I wonder...
if he will help me this time.
You have a mature mind.
You know what comes first.
I believe the so-called pride of a man...
won't affect your ability for judgement.
The Wolf of Southern-West indeed.
Why are you so fond of this wine?
Back in the days, after completing every mission,
we would have a drink with the comrades.
Er Liang is the best choice.
I got used to it. It became a habit.
You really are one of a kind.
It seems like Xiao Lang wine...
really is the best choice for the mood.
Mr. Ning, I wonder what is your reason for asking me out here.
I came here today...
to ask for your help.
I am listening.
I am sure you know about the contract between...
Xin Bao Rui and Geng Xing Min.
But now, we have run into some predicaments.
It's mainly the internal affairs of Xin Bao Rui.
The board members have decided...
to sell the right of Xue Yan Twill to a foreign company.
Lin Qian always wanted to develop the technique of Xue Yan Twill.
As her senior, not only did you not help,
you even ruined the project.
I know.
I was too careless this time.
I feel very bad for myself too.
But the Xue Yan Twill means a lot to me too.
I wonder if you know.
Back then, your brother and I...
thought about a project on Xue Yan Twill too.
My brother?
Is he involved in this?
This is the reason why I came to you today.
The truth is, five years ago,
Geng Xing Min signed a contract with Wen Da.
But the project was shelved.
The contract was terminated, but only verbally.
They never officially signed a termination contract.
So, I was hoping you can find...
the contract of Xue Yan Twill that was kept in Wen Da.
This is the key to saving the Xue Yan Twill.
You mean you want Wen Da to aid you?
Sure. When we were trying to get Xue Ming Tao arrested,
you lent me your help.
This time, I will help you find the contract kept in Wen Da.
Father, can you try to recall?
Where did you keep the contract of Xue Yan Twill?
I really don't remember it.
You can ask your brother.
Okay, I will ask my brother.
He would remember.
He would.
Rest well.
Mr. Li, these are the documents you requested.
Okay, thank you.
Hello? How is it? Did you get anything?
I found it. We can turn the tide now.
So it can be saved?
Whatever you asked of me, I will make it happen.
I can almost sense your smile.
- I miss you. - I miss you too.
Han Jing, I asked you out today...
because I need your help for the matter on Xue Yan Twill.
I don't wish to see the Chinese traditional art of Xue Yan Twill...
fall into the hand of foreigners.
I know you are a person with goal.
I am not sure about a goal.
But I think I know you better.
Right, all these years in Xin Bao Rui,
if it wasn't for your help,
I wouldn't have come this far.
You made it sound so sad as if you are leaving Xin Bao Rui.
Are you leaving to start a new company with someone?
Of course not. Why would I leave Xin Bao Rui?
Besides, they have an outstanding leader like yourself.
You mean a friend?
Yes, a friend indeed.
If I am your friend,
can you stay in Xin Bao Rui for another couple of years?
Rest assured, I will be standing by in Xin Bao Rui at all time.
From the stand point of Zhu Corporation,
I shouldn't agree to help you.
As you know, the higher-ups are against this.
Don't worry about it, Han Jing.
Whatever decision I make,
I won't let the company suffer any loss.
Now that you said it,
I cannot possibly refuse to help you.
That is great.
To have a friend like you in the world of business,
I am deeply grateful.
How do I help you?
I want you to stall the contract between Zhu Han Chong and Seville.
- How long do you need? - As much as you can give me.
Hello?
Hello. I am Zhu Han Jing.
My brother wants me to inform you...
that we need to do some adjustments to the contract details.
He ordered me to bring your team to a tourist destination...
right next to Linhai City for a few days.
Okay. Tomorrow at 8.00 a.m.,
my assistant will be waiting for you at the lobby.
Okay, goodbye.
What is taking them so long?
I am in a meeting. What is it?
About this.
George got bored for being cooped up.
He insisted to have a look around.
I made the arrangement for him.
What?
These people are just...
Fine, I got it.
- Hello? - Mr. Ning, I found the contract.
That is great.
I will arrange a meeting with Geng Xing Min.
- We will discuss about this. - Sure.
Madam Geng.
Five years ago, my brother signed the same contract with you.
That was a long time ago.
I forgot about this contract.
Besides, your brother is no longer with us.
It's okay, those are in the past now.
From what I know, your cooperation ended up...
falling short for the most part.
Yes, your brother has the keen insight and boldness to work with me.
That was hard enough to come by.
But old Chairman Li objected.
He ordered to shelve the project.
The result was indeed less than satisfying.
Madam Geng.
Your contract with Wen Da is still in effect.
If you trust me,
I can use this contract to press charges.
Selling the right to two companies is a breach of contract.
If the patent of Xue Yan Twill is conflicted,
the foreign company will refuse to buy it.
Also, Xin Bao Rui will demand a huge amount for compensation.
After that,
the right of Xue Yan Twill will be returned to you.
But, I don't have the money to pay for the compensation.
I will pay for you.
Why are you helping me?
I simply want Xue Yan Twill to fall into the right hands,
someone who cherish this art and will promote it to the world.
We must let George know about the patent conflict.
You can leave that to me. I will go with Madam Geng.
And with this done,
the Xue Yan Twill won't be sold to the foreigners?
Madam Geng, now is the most trying time.
Please, put your trust in me.
Prepare the contract for Seville to take over the intellectual property.
Right away.
" George "
Hello?
Mr. Zhu, we are sorry to inform you that...
we have decided not to purchase the patent of Xue Yan Twill.
Why? We had a deal just not long ago.
We were unaware of the legal conflict about the patent right.
A risky project such as this is not something we will invest in.
This is the decision from the higher-ups.
- We are deeply sorry. - Wait.
We can still talk this through.
We will leave China tomorrow.
We look forward for the next cooperation.
Hello?
Ning Wei Kai!
- Is this your doing? - Han Chong!
Wei Kai, keep it going.
Chairman, this is indeed my fault.
Before I signed the contract of Xue Yan Twill,
I didn't consider all the risks.
But now, Geng Xing Min...
has returned all the cost for the contract,
she also paid for the breach of contract.
I think this should be the end of the whole commotion.
We shall let this pass.
But if you face the same situation again,
be cautious.
Understood, Chairman.
You may go now.
Yes, Chairman. I should get back to my work.
But father, this is Ning Wei Kai's scheme.
What scheme may that be?
You are using my name to go against him.
If it wasn't for Ning Wei Kai,
you will never clean this mess.
If the Xue Yan Twill...
was indeed sold to the foreigners,
all the pride of Zhu family...
will be lost because of you.
But, father! Father!
But, father!
Fine, I am dumb and useless.
He is the amazing guy.
Come in.
Mr. Chen, the files you asked for.
- Okay, you can go now. - Alright.
The sun is rising upside-down.
It's been two whole days. Mr. Chen is still going through files.
It might just be another of his act.
It's different this time. He read through all the files.
He even take the replies seriously.
He is having an overhaul?
Perhaps the company is not doing too well.
He finally decides to sober up.
I have done as you asked.
This is the property mortgage. This is the quotation.
The price is slightly lower,
but they agreed without hesitation.
This is the best price?
This is the best price.
The buyer knows this is an urgent deal.
So be it.
There is something I don't understand.
You used the house as mortgage.
You paid the compensation for Geng Xing Min.
All of these just to retrieve the patent right of Xue Yan Twill?
Yes.
You have a handsome amount left after paying the compensation.
Are you planning to invest...
for Lin Qian to develop the Xue Yan Twill?
You are getting good at reading my thoughts.
Boss.
As the deputy CEO, it's my duty to remind you that...
developing the Xue Yan Twill...
is something not even Xin Bao Rui would dare tread.
Even if you wish to do this for your girl,
you should gauge your own capabilities.
We managed to save the Xue Yan Twill all thanks to you.
Zhi Cheng,
if you want to proceed with the previous deal...
and keep the Xue Yan Twill in Wen Da,
I will have no objections.
Come, a salute with a cup of tea as my token of gratitude.
You are welcome, teacher. It's the least we can do.
What are you doing?
Xue Yan Twill is now returned to you.
We have nothing to be worried about.
