Episode 39
So what kind of gift do you want?
You.
You are such a creep. I'm calling the cops.
I don't mean to be creepy.
I just want you to wear the dress I designed, stand in my front door and let me look at you.
That would be the best birthday ever. Is that ok?
But from now on, when you want to ask me out, could you do it sooner?
You just told me your plan for tonight.
I've already had work plans for tonight.
Aren't you the senior editor? Why do you get yourself this busy?
Senior editor should work overtime to be the example for others.
So I make my people work overtime while I go out on dates with you. Is that the decent thing to do?
You are a leader yourself. You should know this.
I really found a workaholic.
I need to get a new girlfriend.
I dare you.
I am definitely waiting for you today, see if you show up or not.
I definitely can't do it tonight. I promise you to make it up to you tomorrow.
No, it has to be today.
It's 2 am in the morning.
I dressed myself up like I am going to a ball, like you asked.
The champagne is probably warm by now, after waiting for this long.
It's ok, I will put it back to the fridge.
We will drink it in the morning.
Isn't that a sneaky thought?
What are you thinking?
What if I just want to talk to you
until sunrise?
But your birthday has past.
So your wish is expired.
Where are you going?
I Love You
How is it? Do you like it?
I actually had a creepy thought.
Which is to put on the Xue Yan Ling dress for you myself.
I am sorry, I have put it on myself.
The most beautiful person is already in front of me.
Do you think you can run away from me?
♫Give up my shyness and look at you♫
♫Not hiding my obsession towards you♫
♫Don't mind me caring for you occasionally♫
♫Hugging you from behind♫
♫Hide in your windcoat♫
♫And enjoying you spoiling me♫
♫No matter what others say about us♫
♫Your kiss can cure it all♫
♫I want to go on a trip with you♫
♫And leave my luggage at your place♫
♫No matter where I go, you are within my sight♫
♫I want to treasure every moment with you♫
♫Wearing a white dress and become a drawing in your book♫
What is it?
♫The most familiar night scene♫
♫Flipping through the memories worth remembering♫
♫Hide inside your windcoat♫
You even prepared my wedding gown.
♫Enjoying you spoiling me♫
You surprised me, then I should do the same to you.
♫Your kiss cures it all♫
♫Wearing a white dress and become a drawing in your book♫
♫Let you draw me with your gentle strokes♫
♫The most familiar night scene, will new emotions♫
♫Fillping the memories that's work remembering♫
(Grace)
So romantic. Even wrote me a letter.
(Zhiqian)
Zhiqian.
You used to mock me for being an old school for writing letters.
That's actually because
love is too holy, I have to
write it word for word myself. That day,
you ran into my life, like a bird in the autumn sky.
So bright that you lit up
my mundane life.
But love is such a heavy word.
It makes people afraid to lose.
Could you put on the wedding gown?
I have been waiting for you.
Li Zhiqian made this dress for me?
Was Li Zhiqian the one who made the dress for me?
Grace...
Don't be angry.
Here is what happened, I went to meet Geng Xinming to talk about collaboration.
That's when I got to know that LI Zhiqian left these things at Geng's place.
I was going to take them and give them to you.
Why didn't you?
Because I am afraid...
Afraid that....
I understand now.
I actually was only part of your plan, right?
What?
When I was working for Aida,
You pretend to go after me and hoping I can be on your side.
And you pretend to leave Xin Bao Rui
to compete in the designer competition, in order to have me like you.
I...
And then you went back to Xin Bao Rui,
to make Xue Yan Ling.
You used Li Zhiqian's dream to ask me to work with you.
So everything you did
was to use me?
No, that not what happened!
When what was it?
How could you doubt my love towards you?
What is love?
If you really love me,
do you need to plan everything this carefully?
You didn't even have to
hide what Li Zhiqian left me. You could've told me.
Do you know
how important Li Zhiqian is to me?
I did it because I know how important he is to you!
It took us a long time become this close.
I am afraid that
everything will be gone
after you know about it.
That's all excuses.
If you really love me,
you should face everything,
instead of running away from it.
If you don't even trust me on this,
it only means that
you are hiding things.
It only means that you don't love me
with all your sincerity.
Grace!
Do you want to try this one on?
-The sewing on this one is handcrafted by our designers -Three thousand and eight hundred! So expensive!
Forget about it.
-Thanks. -Thanks.
Thank you for shopping with us.
Little Qian Qian, it's been more than a week.
We haven't sold one dress yet. That should we do?
Hello, welcome.
This one, this one, and this one.
I want all five of those. Bag them up.
Aren't you going to try them on?
No need. Bag them up.
Ok!
Ms,
would you like a membership card?
No need.
It's no trouble, you just need to write down your phone number.
I should give you a membership card
so I can give you discount.
Since you bought so many items from our store. It would be cheaper.
Ok.
Right here.
-Qian.-What?
Has Qingcheng opened yet?
Yup.
There was a customer bought 5 pieces today.
Five?
That's great!
To celebrate our grand opening
and our designer Lin's exceptional talent,
cheers.
What's wrong, Qian?
Did you arrange it?
Of course not.
You really didn't arrange it?
Why would you say that?
Because this person didn't even look at the size.
She just took 5 random pieces and left.
I think it's weird.
You should be more confident.
There are so many people who have good taste out there.
They like what they see, so they bought a couple. Isn't that normal?
Tell me the truth.
Did you arrange it?
Let me check the soup.
Right, I think you are right. I am going to call her now
to schedule a meeting tomorrow.
A meeting? Why?
I want to do a survery.
This girl bought so many piece with different sizes.
What if she went copy my design
and sell them online. I will have to stop her.
I will need to call the police.
How do you contact her?
Because she bought many pieces, so I gave her a membership card. She had to write us her number.
Don't don't don't.
-Why? -What are you doing?
Ok, it was me. I arranged someone to buy them.
See, I knew that you arranged it.
Li Zhicheng, how could you do that?
Didn't we agree to keep the communication open?
-I am sorry. -Does an apology do anything?
This is like lying to me.
I'm not talking to you.
Qingcheng has been opened for a week now and nothing was sold.
I was afraid that you would worry.
Also, you haven't been smiling.
Ok, stop being angry.
Qian, I am nervous when you are angry. Do you know that?
Come on.
I are not mad anymore?
How could I be mad at you when you are this good to me?
Thank you.
Qian,
what's your plan for Qingcheng?
Qingcheng just opened. People are not familiar with the brand.
It's normal to have a slow start.
Qingcheng has three problems right now:
no publicity,
low popularity and high price.
I think
if Qingcheng host or participate some fashion shows,
or maybe do some advertising,
can help the brand.
Let's manage it and advertise it together.
How's that?
I think traditional advertising is not right for Qingcheng.
Since it doesn't have mass production.
I think Qingcheng need to have exclusive customization for people.
I will go find a couple social media influencers
and some official accounts
to advertise it online. This is the most direct method.
I think this would work.
Before Linq Qian have any popularity,
we need to use Xue Yan Ling's popularity.
Good.
Last time, I hired a person to shop at her store,
she saw through it within minutes.
Lin Qian is the only one who can deal with you.
Welcome.
See if there is anything you like.
What kind do you like?
Dresses or
something flowy, or something tight?
What material are you using?
Everything in our store
is made with the traditional sewing method, Xue Yan Ling.
They are all handcrafted.
This one, this one and this one.
I want all these.
Would you...would you like to try them on?
No need. Bag them up.
Why? How much are they?
Let's go bag them up.
Ok.
I can issue you a membership card,
so I can give you some discount. Just write down your number.
Ok.
Come with me.
President Chen, you have a visitor.
Who is it?
It's Jerry from DP.
I don't know this person. I'm not meeting him.
She said that she has important matter to discuss with you.
Ok, send her in.
Hello, President Chen.
I am the executive assistant of the DP Chinese branch. My name is Jerry.
Hello, what can I do for you?
This is letter of intent for DP wanting to be one of the shareholders of Si Mei Qi.
We have reached the agreement with your father, Chen Zhijun.
We would like to hear from you.
Become a shareholder of Si Mei Qi?
How are you? Why don't I know anything about it?
You will once you read the letter on intent.
After DP become the shareholder of Si Mei Qi, you will still be the CEO of Si Mei Qi.
Si Mei Qi's employees, e-commerce and management will stay the smae.
After DP's investment, we will hold 35% of the share.
You will have 30%. The Chinese shareholders will still be the dominate shareholders.
You don't have to explain any further.
With such a large acquisition with such a low offer,
I will need to decide after
meeting your CEO in person.
I will stop talking to you.
Good-bye.
Dad, what is it?
They went talk to you?
Why would you let a foreign company to become our shareholder?
Also without even telling me, the CEO of Si Mei Qi?
Merging and equity trading are normal.
Dad, I just don't understand that why would you do such a thing.
Si Mei Qi built by you from scratch.
Are you afraid of been eaten by the outsiders?
Because of you.
Because of me? What's wrong with me?
I didn't want to sell Si Mei Qi's stock.
Ever since I hand you the company, it has been getting worse and worse.
The name Si Mei Qi still worth something,
some money. I can still be negotiating with DP
now, which isn't a bad deal.
I am afraid that the company wouldn't even worth this much if I let you run it for another couple of years.
By then, this money will be your safety net.
Dad, you have so little trust in me.
If you are Ning Weikai
or Li Zhicheng, I would trust you.
I don't want to be like this either.
I would like you to have these Xue Yan Ling.
I will mail them to you.
This is the first time that I design clothes for the person I love.
They only belongs to you, Grace.
Would you forgive me?
No matter how long, I will be waiting for you.
(Grace)
(Ning Weikai)
There was a customer this afternoon.
She also bought 5 pieces without trying them on.
I didn't do it this time. I would use the same tricks twice.
Really?
With your hard work, you deserve what you worked for eventually, right?
I have her contact anyways.
I will pay her a visit tomorrow. Want to come with?
Ok.
You are mad. I have issues. I'm not mad.
What are you doing?
You are here. Sit.
Sit.
Ok ok ok.
I am hungry. What did you cook for me?
I hurt my hand today. Couldn't do it.
I waited in line and bought crab legs for you.
Wha...what did you just say? You hurt your hand? Where?
Gosh.
Does it hurt? Is it serious? Why were you being so careful?
Who is going to cook for me everyday if you are injured?
Everyday?
Yeah, my boyfriend needs to cook for me everyday.
What did you just say? Boyfriend?
♫Give me your hand, and I will promise your happiness ♫
♫I go crazy for you just like this♫
My boyfriend needs to cook for me everyday.
And three meals a day.
I want bento for lunch.
I want romantic dinner.
I want a full table of nutritious beakfast.
♫Leave me some time for me to wait for you♫
♫Give me your hand, and I will promise you happiness♫
♫Going crazy for you just like this♫
It should be here.
It's here.
Here should be Ms. Chen's studio.
You are?
Hello, I am the designer of Qingcheng.
We are doing a customer experience survey.
You bought many clothes from us.
You were also the our first customer.
Your comment on the design is very important. Please just take one minute.
Please.
Ms. Chen, it wouldn't take you long.
Yes.
-Come in. -Thank you.
Ms. Chen, could you please tell me
why did you shop with us?
What about Qingcheng attracted you?
Qingcheng's design style is very interesting.
It has the style of Chinese traditional landscape painting,
and it is also very fashionable.
From my point of view, it's not only just a piece of clothing,
it is also an artwork.
Thank you for your compliment.
Do you have any comment on the price?
I only focus on the quality when I shop.
As long as the item is high quality, I am not very concerned with price.
I understand.
There is one piece that I bought, which I gave my student Xian for her birthday gift.
Would you like to ask her?
That would be great.
Little Xian, how do you feel when you put on the clothes Ms. Chen gave you?
It was very comfortable.
It was very breathable. It was the most comfortable material I'ver ever wore.
But it was too expensive.
I saw the price tag. It was more than 5 grand.
It isn't something I can afford myself.
Ok. Thank you for your answers.
You are welcome. Are you guys dating?
Can't believe you can see that. Do we match?
You do. It's the weekend now.
Would you like to try to do some pottery?
Ok.

♫When love comes♫
What are you looking at?
I am looking at how attractive Mrs. Li is
when she is working. Attractive
like an artwork.
How many sweets have you eaten today? You are so sweet.
I think I'm not sweet enough yet.
♫Makes me speechless♫
My heart is like the clay
in your palms forever.
♫...is the best thing♫
♫I believe, no matter how much time has past♫
♫We will become the photos in the gray frames♫
Ok, let me know when you finish arranging it.
Looking forward to the good news.
(Ning Weikai)
I've said it. You are so attractive,
that it is not hard for men to fall in love with you.
Where are you going?
I Love You
How is it? Do you like it?
Now I know that
Qingcheng's sales is bad because of brand positioning.
Just like what Chen Momo said,
I went after what I like,
but it's not like everyone knows about Xue Yan Ling.
Chen Momo think it's an artwork, which Little Xian thinks it's too expensive.
If Qingcheng is only sold to people like Chen Momo,
it will be closed down sooner or later.
Tell me about what changed. Be specific.
I think building a brand
one needs to position it based on different kinds of consumer.
Different kinds of demands separate the goods into high brow, middle brow, and low brow.
Qingcheng positioned itself as luxury.
But we can't build popularity among luxury consumers.
At the same time, young people are the mainstream consumers.
So I am thinking, if we use Xue Yan Ling to
mix with different fabrics,
to not only lower the budget,
but also put in something trendy.
This way we can
attract the mainstream consumers that we ignored for the longest time.
Maybe we can open up a new market for Qingcheng.
I support your change of ideas.
according to your idea, we can design something for daily wear.
This way we can satisfy most of the consumer's demand.
We can also satisfy their budget.
We can also use them to popularize our brand.
This is the next direction. What about sales?
About sales, actually, everyone who comes to the stone doesn't have to buy anything,
but you have to ask them why.
Is it because of price or the design. There has to be reasons.
Qingcheng is like a battlefield...
Here you come again!
It's a battlefield everywhere.
Yeah, that's why you have to get to know them, in order to conquer them.
Using the idea of fighting in the battlefield on
business does work.
Ok, our direction is clear.
I will write it out. I have now filled with confidence.
I just need a bit of more love.
The power of love.
Was that enough?
Nope.
How was that enough? You are so stingy!
No enough...
Sis, Ning Weikai came for you again.
What happened with you two?
Just talk it out in person.
Just tell him that I went out for a meeting.
There is another thing. The headquarter in the US has sent an inspector, Lisa.
I've heard that Lisa
was the senior editor in Italy.
She just transferred to the US headquarter.
Why did they send her to inspect?
I feel like it's not a friendly visit.
So fast.
Hello Lisa, I am Grace's assistant, Cindy.
Welcome to H China.
Please, follow me.
Grace, Lisa is here.
Hi.
Lisa, welcome.
Thank you.
Didn't we meet at the headquarter last year?
Yes, of course. You were the senior editor in Italy back then.
You have such a good memory.
But let me tell you, I don't like Italy very much.
China is what's really attracting me.
I actually hope that I can stay longer here.
Really?
What's your schedule like?
You know that the magazine sales in China is getting lower,
so the headquarters sent me here to see what is going on.
Evaluate the content, management, sales, and employee performance.
The internet is getting more powerful. Paper media sales going down is a global challenge.
Of course, I would like to have better communication with the headquarter
to see should we face this issue together.
It's all about communication.
Accommodate her if there is anything she needs.
Got it.
I can give you a tour here.
Sounds good sounds good.
-Please. -Thank you.
Chen Yayi, I need to ask you something.
You will have to be truthful with me.
Have I ever not been truthful with you?
Do you think I can manage Si Mei Qi well?
Or in other words: am I a good leader?
Did some trauma happen to you?
Many things happened recently that made me getting less confident.
To judge you objectively, with your capability and intelligence,
you can manage Si Mei Qi well.
But you haven't been putting your energy on Si Mei QI.
-I did. -But not enough.
Ok.
Come meet someone important with me tonight.
Meeting parents? Isn't it too early?
No. Dress up.
Why do I have to dress up?
You will know when you get there. Keep eating.
Our store will put out clothes with lower price range.
Good job, Yayi.
Also, we will have new designs. Hope to see you guys then.
The business is pretty good. It seems like it has been improving.
Not only did I change some of the design,
but also planning on using phone surveys
or some small customer gatherings
to gather more data.
We need to improve the products and let them speak for themselves.
And give the customers more choices.
How is it?
You are getting closer.
-Closer to what? -Looking like a boss.
I'm using my brain, aren't I?
I want to give you a ring.
What ring?
Anniversary ring for Qingcheng.
It has the date of its grand opening
and your name. To mark this moment.
Excuse, I need to talk to you about something.
Go ahead.
I want to borrow this dress
to a bachelor's party.
I promise to return it tomorrow.
-Good luck! -Good luck!
Thank you. Good-bye.
Is this the Blue Case powder?
No, this is for hydration.
It's so pretty.
-You like it? -Yeah.
It's yours. I just opened it today.
-Really? -Of course.
Thank you. Go do your thing.
Thank you.
You look so good!
Did I ever look bad?
I am talking about the dress.
Forget it.
This is Qian's new design.
Didn't you say something about meeting someone important?
Is he in the restroom?
He will be here soon. Sit.
President Chen, this is DP's Chinese branch executive manager, Peter Smith.
This is the CEO of Si Mei Qi.
Hello.
This one is?
This Yayi, she is mine...
I am President's Chen's assistant. Hello.
Sit.
