Our Glamorous Time
[Episode 39]
[Partnership Agreement]
What are you doing?
It's a relief now that the Snowy Smoke fabric is back with Ms. Geng.
You paid so much for breach of contract
to retain the IP rights to Snowy Smoke.
I'm already very thankful.
Why do you need to?
Master Geng, I have an idea -- if you trust me.
Tell me.
I hope you will transfer the IP rights to the fabric to Lin Qian.
What are you saying?
Lin Qian, listen to me.
I could have had Wenda transfer you the rights.
But I would rather Master Geng did it herself.
Master Geng, Xin Baorui was selling Snowy Smoke to a foreign buyer.
Lin Qian was the first one to tell me about it.
She asked me to help get the IP rights back.
I believe her passion for Snowy Smoke and her design
will take this fabric to the world.
Sister Lin.
I have had a chance to get to know you.
So i know your design will breathe new life into Snowy Smoke.
I hereby transfer all rights to Snowy Smoke to you.
You are its rightful owner.
We can get the paperwork any time.
Teacher, I--
Lin
Li Qian, you are very talented. And I know
your passion for Snowy Smoke it real.
I also know you can concentrate on your research into it
which is exactly what it takes.
Teacher is getting old.
And I've been looking for someone to take it from here.
You can be that person.
If you say no to this, you are saying no to your responsibility.
Teacher, it's like this.
I love Snowy Smoke.
But its development and design requires team work and funding.
I haven't figured out exactly where its development will go.
Even if you grant me its rights,
I still have doubts about my ability.
Why not--
Lin Qian, this is a plan to commercialize Snowy Smoke.
Take a look.
Zhi Cheng, you came prepared.
I trust Lin Qian. And I will take care of the funding.
Think of a brand for our new line.
Now?
What do you think, Master?
The honor should be yours.
Glamorous.
How does it sound?
Good one. Your design will add glamor to Snowy Smoke.
And it will fascinate the world.
You've shown me this Han Embroidery a lot.
All I've seen is stitches.
Until now. I now have some new insights.
Each one of the bird's nine heads has its own mind.
Just like people. We get confused and lost
because you have too many conflicting thoughts and we don't know which thoughts to listen to.
I tried to have everything.
I ended up with nothing.
Now I will stick to my original thought.
I'll focus on my design, on building my own brand.
This is the most valuable insight.
Master,
These are some of my designs.
What do you think?
These are all yours?
Great!
You infused Snowy Smoke with Han Embroidery and high fashion.
It's exactly what I've wanted to do.
Who knew you would come along and turn my dream into reality.
I'm a craftsman.
The future of Snowy Smoke
is on someone like you, a designer who loves it and knows how to innovate.
Promise me you will stay true to your roots
and bring this traditional technique to the world.
Yes, Master. I'm game!
Great.
Do you think we made the bed for someone to lie on with Snowy Smoke?
Look at it another way. It could be a good thing.
We worked on Snowy Smoke to fulfill a wish on behalf of Li Zhiqian.
If he were here,
he would say leave it to someone who gets it and loves it.
And that would be the best thing for Snowy Smoke.
So, everything is fine.
A lot of things in the world don't work out the way you want.
It all depends on your perspective.
So...
Oh, right...
Your gift.
That's a big one?
Open it.
Is it what I think it is?
You had it ready so fast?
It's beautiful! Gorgeous.
You think?
I assume your hands must have been tired from taking gifts from all kinds of people.
A dress like this
would mean nothing to you?
Of course not.
People send me gifts because I'm the editor of H Group.
This gift is for me because I'm me.
And this has to be the most thoughtful gift
I have ever received.
So, thank you!
I love it.
I've put it on.
It fits perfectly. Thank you!
I knew it would. I did the measuring myself after all.
Let me see.
How am I supposed to crunch these data after all?
I'm clueless. i have to ask you, Mr. Gu, my teacher.
I'm no teacher.
Hey, you are an expert with games. Help me with Bingo Crush.
Give me.
This is so hard.
And let me look at your data.
So your mind is made up about Simeiqi?
Nothing like finding your way back home.
Right. And you've even quit girls cold turkey.
I'll give you credit for that.
I heard you and that...
Focus on doing every one of your jobs well.
And treat everyone well.
This is the biggest decision I've made recently.
A word of advice. If you
just want to have fun like you always do, then forget it.
She is a good girl.
This is not a game where you have some fun and you move past it.
Karma is real.
For every problem there is a person out there who is just the right answer.
Done.
Chen Heihei! Over here! Chen Heihei!
Chen Yayi!
Stop yelling!
Get in! Now!
What is your problem?
What is yours? You act like we are hiding from someone.
That's because I am.
I mean, I...
We've just started dating.
What if it doesn't work out?
It'll be so awkward if people know.
This is also to protect you.
Going as low profile as I know how.
Low profile.
Chen Yayi. Who told you we won't work out?
Why do you keeping saying it?
I have to be prepared.
You are a piece of work.
How did I end up going out with you again?
Any way, what do you want?
What's this?
Have a look.
Why do you keep buying these useless bags?
You know what my favorite food is.
And it would save you so much money.
Something you don't know the value of.
You say one thing and you think another.
I see you go to vip.com a lot.
I know they have some cool stuff on offer. So I picked you some.
If you don't like them, you can trade them in for something else for free.
No.
Tell me the truth. Do you always do this for your girls?
Sister, take care of Master while I'm gone.
Go find Senior. I will take care of Master.
And I will do my best with Snowy Smoke.
I've been thinking
this fabric is all soft and no stiffness.
Many designs won't work for it.
I'm trying to figure it out.
But rest assured. I will take care of it.
Perfect. I have nothing to worry about with you here.
And Master's dream is finally coming true.
I will finally be able to see Senior again.
Master? Master!
I've failed you.
Take care.
Get up, sister.
Thank you, sister. Please go back in.
Take care of yourself and Master.
Have a safe journey. Say hi to Senior for me.
I'll go and visit when I can.
What do you think Lin Qian will do with Snowy Smoke?
I think she'll turn it into a designer brand.
I think so too.
Lin Qian won't put profit first.
She'll approach branding strategically.
Having a strategy is important.
But a brand won't survive if it's not profitable.
Any way, I can relax with Lin Qian taking care of Snowy Smoke.
She won't disappoint.
Look at me. I was so sure I was going to do Snowy Smoke
and I didn't get to do it. I could use some comforting here.
Take me to somewhere nice for dinner, will you?
I have a lot of work. I can't.
Every time I ask you out for a bite
I feel like have to move mountains.
I do have a lot of work. It's not my fault.
So I can't have dinner with my girl friend?
When did I ever say I'm your girlfriend?
Come on, admit it.
You said it at the hospital.
When?
The doctor told me. So stop faking it.
The doctor said,
your girlfriend worried sick when you were unconscious.
Your girlfriend is beautiful.
- I never said it! - And so mean!
Okay, now.
Stop pretending. I'll have dinner with me tonight.
I found a way! Master!
See?
It's thicker?
Yes. Snowy Smoke is lightweight and sheer.
I lined it with a fabric that's stiffer.
This way it is possible to make my designs work.
But it won't be Snowy Smoke if it is not silk.
Right.
A common material on the market has been organza.
I think I can find something better
so that it will be light and thin and compatible with different designs at the same time.
You know what, I used to work with a factory and they were good.
Its owner Mr. Huang was very nice.
I will talk to him and see if I can use his lab.
I will call him now.
Hello?
Hello? President Huang?
This is Lin Qian. Remember me?
Li Qian? Of course.
What's the project this time?
Not exactly a project.
I hit a bump in the road.
I was wondering if I could use your lab.
You want to use our lab?
Yes. I know you have the equipment that I need.
So, I was thinking...
Our people are using the lab to work on a project now.
You can check back in three months.
Three months?
Alright.
Zhicheng?
Hello? Master Geng, how are you?
Can you come over when you have time?
Li Qian is working to make the silk stiffer.
She is working day and night. I can't watch her hurting herself like that.
And there is a factory manager, Mr. Huang?
He won't let Lin Qian use his lab.
I think you mean the boss of Aidi Group.
It could be him.
I got it.
Thank you, Master Geng. I know what to do.
Our plan for the next few years
is to go diverse.
And I'd more is the key to our strategic pivot.
You work
is to collect all kinds of details.
I want to see our corporate culture in every practical detail.
- Yes, sir. - Get back to work.
Yes, President Huang.
President Huang!
- President Li! - I need to talk to you.
Are you free now?
Sure. What is it?
Did Lin Qian give you a call?
Yes. She wanted to use our lab.
But there is nothing I can do.
Our lab is all booked and I just can't schedule her in.
President Huang, can you do me a favor
and put your projects on hold?
This way you can free up a few lab hours for Lin Qian.
- Well... - Snowy Smoke has been a technical challenge
even for foreigners.
If a solution is found in your lab,
that'll be some publicity, don't you think?
President Huang. You know my relationship with Lin Qian
You will be helping me if you help her.
Our shared culture is to spread love.
And I never forget those who have helped me.
If you ever need anything from me,
I'll be sure to return the favor.
President Li, since you put it this way,
I can't say no.
Thank you very much.
Hello? President Huang?
This coming week, you will have our lab
and our technicians.
All yours.
Really? You said your lab was booked out?
What changed?
Our projects are on hold, pending feedback from the clients.
So it's available now.
Plus you helped us with the Mingsheng project
so that we got into the waterproof fabric business.
Consider the favor returned.
Well, that's great.
Thank you, President Huang.
You are a life saver.
You have many of those.
I've spent a long time in his lab now.
I wonder what changed Mr. Huang's mind
and gave me lab hours.
So that's where you've disappeared to this past week?
Am I supposed to call you Dr. Lin now?
I'm not a doctor!
So, Dr. Lin. Catch me up.
I found a new fabric.
It's stiffer than organza.
It's called oulisha.
They tested it in the lab for me
and it will help reenforce Snowy Smoke.
Do you know? I feel so relieved now.
I think we are one big step closer
to the success of our brand.
Then I think congratulations are in order.
Why don't we have dinner together to celebrate?
We can talk about the opening of the store.
Sure. Sure. And I want to ask you
who we should invite.
Okay. See you later.
Every time we go out we eat a big meal. I'm about to burst.
Do you know sugar expands your pores?
My skin is getting messed up.
Your skin is fine. Don't worry.
Easy for you to say.
I'll go to Xin Yang App and book a
skin hydration treatment.
Right, before I forget. Dinner's on me today.
I can afford a meal.
Stop it. I said I'll pay so I'll pay.
And you are not mooching off me any way.
I bought you meals, you run errands for me.
I run errands for you
even if you don't pay for our meals.
I'm talking about something life-altering.
What?
I'm going to join the workforce.
I'll get a job. Isn't that a life-altering thing?
But you hated being tied down by a job?
I know. You asked me out for dinner
so you have a shot at getting a job at our company?
Does your brother know?
What is this, a job interview?
These are not professional questions.
Alright, here are my answers.
First off, I hate being tied down by a job,
but I've come around. I want to be independent.
And independence means having a job.
Second, I know a lot
about Wenda. Isn't that a plus?
Third, I don't want my brother to know.
He doesn't have faith in me.
Here.
I say you hire Li Jinyuan.
Nothing is sexier than workplace romance.
Chen Zheng, you are full of bad advice.
It gets you closer to her.
If you couldn't land her this way then you never will.
You don't understand Jinyuan at all.
She is a fun-loving person, but when she says she will do something she will do it and she's always been that way.
She will never date me if we are colleagues.
Women like to be dazzled. Romance it up!
How?
Be proactive.
This has been a fruitful day.
Yes. I'm satisfied.
I'm going home.
So early?
Are you tired after such a long day of shopping?
We can go somewhere else.
That's okay. I'll go home.
What? Are you going into labor?
No. I'm having a cramp. It hurts so bad!
You didn't eat anything weird.
- Where? - My stomach.
That's not where the stomach is.
- Your stomach is there. - Well, it hurts everywhere.
Is it so bad? What do you want to do?
I have to go to the hospital.
Alright, let's go.
Stop following the navigation.
Listen to me. Turn left at the crossroads ahead.
Left? Navigation says right. If we take left we will take much longer.
That's alright. I don't mind.
But your stomach hurts.
It's been better.
Get out.
You are kicking me out? A patient?
Go on. Keep pretending.
You are a terrible actor. Get out.
Jinyuan, let me spend more time with you.
Gu Yanzhi,
get out.
Hello? What now?
I left my book in the pile of books I gave you.
Can you bring it to me?
Where are you? Share me a location.
I'm at the bus stop where you kicked me out.
Alright. Wait there.
When are they ever going to switch the ad on this thing?
- Hello? Chen Zheng. - Hello? Gu Yanzhi.
What's your situation there? The ad is going to change here.
I played a little trick and Jinyuan is circling back to me.
- When are you going to switch the display? - Right away.
Okay. Where are you?
Let me signal you. Do you see me?
Yes. Okay.
Don't blow it. It is quite expensive.
Got it. I think she will be here soon. Talk later.
Okay.
♫ Is there enough time for me to blow away the dark clouds in your eyes? ♫
♫ Here I am waiting for you to show some interest and ask me about my secret crush. ♫
♫ So when you happen to get closer to me I get nervous and I look at you. ♫
♫ I breathe carefully ♫
♫ and it's all because of you. ♫
♫ Love has come to a halt because of you. ♫
♫ So give me some time and let me wait for you. ♫
♫ Happy birthday to you. ♫
♫ Happy birthday dear Jinyuan. ♫
♫ Happy birthday to you. ♫
Make a wish.
♫ Give me your hand and I'll make you happy. ♫
I'll blow them now.
♫ I'm going crazy for you like that. ♫
Happy birthday.
♫ Still not sure, still not used to how close I stay to you. ♫
♫ Is my love for ever enough to earn me an "I like you" in return? ♫
♫ Standing at the traffic lights and the crowd pushes me forward. ♫
♫ And there you are, all alone, walking right past me. ♫
♫ How lucky will I be if I manage to have you turn round, ♫
♫ against all odds? ♫
♫ My eyes stopped because of you. ♫
Nasty vandals, defacing a public property!
♫ Give me your hand and I'll make you happy. ♫
♫ And I'm going crazy for you, just like that. ♫
Who taught you?
This is not like you.
I can be romantic.
Alright. Chen Zheng may have had some input.
He got me a discount.
How many people go by every day?
And they'll all see this?
That's right. And this is not the only stop.
Your photos are all over the bus stops in this part of the city.
I saw.
The wind is picking up.
♫ ...So give me time and let me wait for you. ♫
But why didn't you pick some photos where I look better?
♫ ...when you laugh so hard that it ruins your makeup. ♫
These photos are all great. Aren't they?
Are they? I don't think so.
Right.
You must have cast a spell on me.
So it's my fault?
♫ ...crazy. ♫
Bye-bye!
- What are your doing? - What are you waiting for? Hurry!
- Let me walk you in. - No!
I don't want Sister Qian to see us.
Go! Go, now!
What if she sees us? So what? We are not having an affair.
I don't think you are ready for my friends.
I mean...It's not the time.
I'll make it known to every one
when it's time. I'll tell the world
I'm going out with you. Okay? Please.
I think it's time now. Let's go.
No! Are you leaving or not? If you don't go then we are done.
Go! Go!
Okay, I'll go.
Congratulations, Ms. Lin! I heard you are hiring?
Is there a job for me?
Are you here for a job interview? Our bars are quite high.
And I'll be good enough for all of them.
- Qian Qian, I missed you. - I know you would be.
And I missed you too. How are you?
I'm good.
Yayi. Thank you for coming back when I need you more than ever.
You call, I come back running.
You turn round and I'm right there behind.
For you. Congratulations! Your dream has come true.
You have your own brand and a cute store.
You had your hair cut. Nice. How's the study?
Okay. I'm one of the best of the class.
Of course I'm still not as good you are. Don't take my word for it.
I will show you my design for graduation.
You'll see I'm not the old me.
Sure.
Yayi, you came.
- President Li. Long time no see. - Long time no see.
Yayi has come to help me.
I won't keep her. See you later.
Ready?
Almost.
Are you nervous?
Who did you invite?
The press. Some buyers.
And some friends. It's a crowd.
So many people?
Just the right number of people for the occasion. I'll show you something.
♫ When love comes upon us, ♫
♫ I feel a special sense of comfort. ♫
♫ Is it a rush of emotions or my heart under the influence? ♫
I modeled it on you.
Cool, isn't it?
♫ If the sound of heartbeats ♫
♫ renders me speechless. ♫
You drew this?
Qian, do you remember you said to me
the most romantic gesture is to be there for the one you love?
Just like in this drawing. They are there for each other.
Just like us. We complete each other.
And we are always there for each other.
I'll keep it here as a monument to mark our glamorous time.
♫ Sitting side by side in a faded photo frame. ♫
How is it?
So yummy! I can't believe you found this place.
Just the right amount of sweet. Better than what I had before.
You just wait and see. I will
take you to taste the best macarons in the world.
You are so sweet. What do you want?
You didn't ask me out just to eat macarons, did you?
I can't ask you out unless there is something?
A fair warning, I'm not the kind of girl who updates her boyfriend on everything she does on the phone.
Things like what I'm eating, what I'm doing or who I'm with. Those are for kids.
I'm not good at those.
For kids?
Okay. Come to my home tonight.

That's way too abrupt.
What's wrong with abrupt?
It's my birthday.
Come on, at least make it sound real.
It is real. It is my birthday today.
Show me your ID card.
Is it really necessary? When have I ever lied to you?
Alright. I'll believe you.
So what do you want for your birthday?
You.
Pervert! I'm calling the police.
Don't take this the wrong way. I just want to see you in my design at my door
and let me have a good look at you. That'll be the best gift you can give me. Okay?
♫ I believe, if you still don't understand ♫
♫ Having you in my life is the best thing to ever touch my heart. ♫
♫ I believe, no matter how many days will pass, ♫
♫ When I look at you, I forget to let my tears fall. ♫
♫ The sunset when you look back, ♫
♫ When you smile into the camera ♫
♫ Don't know if I'm the glitter of a tear or the grin on a smiley face. ♫
♫ When you look at me, ♫
♫ The earth keeps on spinning. ♫
♫ Time is frozen. ♫
♫ I believe if you still don't understand ♫
♫ Having you in my life is the best thing to ever touch my heart. ♫
♫ I believe no matter how many years will pass ♫
