Episode 42
Why are to taking me to a salon?
You will find out soon.
Sit.
You are not putting on makeup on me, are you?
Yup.
I'm not doing it!
-Hold on hold on, sit. -Not doing it.
-Sit here first and listen to me. -You don't know how to do it.
I just want to put makeup on you. Just grant a little wish to you boyfriend.
Here,
don't move.
Why is your hand uncontrollable?
Even though it's my first time doing it,
it can't be too terrible.
Why are you only drawing the corner?
Is this eyeshadow?
What do you think?
Do you want to look now?
I am afraid.
Three.
Two.
One.
It's so terrible!
Too terrible!
I think it's cute.
It's so lovely.
I like your every moment.
Why did you draw me like this?
Can't it just be normal makeup?
Marry me.
No, I am not marrying you.
Why are you
proposing right now?
I am so ugly right now.
No, you are forever the prettiest in my heart.
I will memorize this moment.
Qian,
thank you for supporting me and never leave me.
I told you that marriage is where romance belongs.
I don't want to get married.
My friend told me that marriage is romance's grave.
Nope.
Marriage the where romance belongs.
♫I believe♫
I want you give you a home.
I love you.
Marry me.
Put it on for me.
♫I believe that you must understand♫
♫You existence is the best thing♫
♫I believe, no matter how much time has past♫
♫We will sit together♫
♫In the picture frame♫
Sis, the copywriters said that Lisa was the one who changed your composition.
She is only an inspector. She has no right.
Get her here.
Ok.
Grace, did you ask for me?
Did you change the composition of the next issue?
You also gave Peter a exclusive interview and an ad for his brand.
Is that so?
Yeah, what's the problem?
I don't what kind of relationship you are having with Peter,
but we don't have a working relationship with DP.
So you don't have the right of doing that.
But this is what President Wu told me to do.
He said that he wishes to help you improve.
But don't you know that DP is allegedly
plagiarizing?
Then why you took the risk and gave him an interview?
Plagiarizing? How is that a serious problem in China?
Don't make such a big deal of it.
Your attitude
makes me feel that you don't respect your position.
Let me tell you that us, H Magazine, never work with businesses that have moral issues.
Especially someone like DP.
DP pays ten times more for the ads than other small businesses who have morals.
So you would do anything for profit?
I finally know that
why the sales are going down. This is why.
Give you five minutes.
Si Mei Qi is using all of its sales resources on DP.
DP's sales has gone up 64%.
And Si Mei Qi's
has gone down 45%.
-That the headquarter's adjustment. -That was not on the agreement.
DP is the dominating shareholder of Si Mei Qi.
After the headquarter bought off Si Mei Qi, they had a new judgment.
They are adjusting Si Mei Qi's brands' market positions.
Si Mei Qi's sales will come back
after adjustment.
Si Mei Qi has been in business these many years. What's the problem with the market positioning?
Didn't Si Mei Qi joins DP in order to be
the head of Linhai's fashion industry?
Doesn't it want to be an international brand?
There you go. That's the decision the headquarter is making.
But why don't I know about it?
Why did it got kicked off the market without discussing this with me?
That's the headquarter's decision.
As the commander, you can only do what they say.
Peter,
do you think that I am a prey?
So you can do whatever...
Good-bye. Next time, don't forget to make an appointment.
Brother, Gu Yanzhi told me that you successfully proposed to Lin Qian?
As your sister, I don't know what gift to give you.
I know that she stays up all the time, which is very bad for her skin.
So I ordered a gift set from New Oxy.
Check it out. It's this one.
What do you think?
So thoughtful.
Of course.
President Li, come and take a look. Si Mei Qi's products are all off market.
You guys do your thing. See you all later.
Come.
This is Si Mei Qi's data.
It seems like once DP became the dominating shareholder of Si Mei Qi,
their first move is to take off Chen Zheng's power, and get rid of him.
That's going to be embarrassing for Chen Zheng.
I've never been this defeated my whole life.
Peter took down all of Si Mei Qi's product.
He said that the DP headquarter is going to reevaluate Si Mei Qi, and adjust its market postioning.
So isn't a barbaric like you had to beat him up on the spot?
At the time I...what do you mean?
Were you been sarcastic?
I could hit him, and get arrested at most.
But Si Mei Qi is more important.
I've never been bullied like this.
Waiter.
What are you doing?
You have vodka here?
I am sorry, we don't have that here.
Is there any har liquor here?
How about some white spirit?
Go get it.
What are you doing? Don't you know that alcohol doesn't help?
You know until today, no one has ever taught me how to scheme anything.
Then you can use what you good at.
What am I good at?
You...
For example, me,
followed sister Qian to open an online store, and got into Aida.
You know that I am a lazy bone.
And I made so many mistakes.
Sister Qian always tolerated me and has been helping me.
And then I realized that...that...people
only grow when there are difficulties.
People can only grow when they realize their flaws, am I right?
I don't know much about business.
But I think it still applies.
Right?
I believe that our smart, handsome Mr Chen
will find his turning point, and catch the opportunity by its little tail.
And change the situation.
Mr. Chen go go go!
I realized that I can't leave you.
Ew. Gross.
Thank you for the exclusive interview.
Since you found me,
for the sake of our previous collaboration,
I would help you.
You want to substitute Grace, don't you?
Grace is tough. She is hard to deal with.
The toughest person still has her weakness. Especially women.
But I really can't find her weakness.
Grace pushed H Corp to invest in a company,
called...Aida.
That company was very unknown,
but it became something
with Grace's advertising. Grace also made lots of money off of it.
I saw the books. There was nothing wrong with it.
But the weird thing is
that once the company got big, Grace left.
Why did she give up all that money?
Because, there must be a man.
Does that count as using working convenience for personal use?
I see that you did a lot of research on Grace.
Congratulations on substitute Grace and take control the Chinese branch.
DP bought Si Mei Qi and controlled their e-commerce.
So Si Mei Qi has became Si Mei Qi's puppet.
And their biggest weakness is that their shares are in pieces.
And Xin Bao Rui's flagship stores targetted by DP's new retail stores.
Right now, Xin Bao Rui's weakness is Zhu Hanchong.
DP plagiarized my design last time,
which resulted in that style in my store were rarely sold.
If DP wants to use their mid-market product to fight against Wenda they will do whatever they can.
What do you have to fight it?
You.
What?
You. Your design is the secret weapon for Wenda.
You want me to go back to Wenda?
Not necessarily, but your designs will be used.
If necessary, we can use Wenda's factory to make your clothes.
There are so many designers in the world. Why do you have to find me?
You are my wife. Who else should I ask?
You name the price. I promise I won't negotiate.
Ten thousand million. That ok?
I will. I am yours anyway.
Forget it. I don't want it.
Why?
You think about Peter more than you think about me. I don't want that.
-You are jealous? -No!
I am just eating my apple.
Is your apple jealous?
Who is it? In such ungodly hour.
Lin Qian, it's me.
It's my brother.
It's about time for me to meet him finally.
No! I didn't tell him about us living together.
Hide! Fast.
What are you doing here, brother? I am almost asleep.
I just made a high deal.
So I feel like visiting you.
Can't you just say you miss me?
What are you carrying?
Is that a present for me?
I bought you an Audi A5. You pick whatever color you want.
The HBL is inside.
-So considerate. Thanks! -I only get to visit you when I brought present?
-Yup, so I don't blame you for bothering me. -Jerk.
Brother!
Brother.
What?
Nothing.
Sit.
It's a bit weird.
-Brother, I want to tell you something. -What?
Li Zhicheng proposed to me.
I want to talk to you
and see if you can meet his family as my parent.
You made such a big decision without telling me.
Brother, I am not a kid anymore. I will be responsible for myself.
Li Zhicheng, right?
I will not allow it, nor will I meet his family.
Why...why won't you?
At least meet him before you say not.
Meet him first, then you...
Hello, president Lin.
He was just dropping by.
Li Zhicheng, Lin Qian's fiance, the executive of Wenda.
Hello.
I am Lin Mochen.
Lin Qian's brother.
The president of the Asia branch of Gaosheng.
I am sorry for ear-dropping.
President Lin, me and Lin Qian have fell in love, and we are great together.
I 've been wanting to visit your parents.
Even though Lin Qian has been mentioning what she meant for you.
But no matter how much you are against it,
I will not leave her.
I hereby invite you
to meet my father.
Out of mannerism and protection for my sister,
you may arrange it next time I come back.
Thank you.
Please leave us.
I need to talk to my sister.
Just say what you want to say. We are family now. There is no need to hide.
I have to go.
Your brother is angry. Aren't you going to go after him?
He will be fine. He can't be really angry.
You were so handsome when you said that.
"Hello, my name is Li Zhicheng,
Lin Qian's fiance, Wenda's executive."
It was really something.
Even if the whole world is asking me to leave you,
no the whole universe,
I will never gave up.
I saw so many DP's standie once I got out of the elevator.
And there are so many here. What is the meaning of this?
Who is giving him an exclusive?
Editor, it was Lisa.
-Did I agree to this? Are you new here or something? -Everyone did such a great job.
Grace, is there any better advice?
I told you my better advice.
I will never agree to have an unqualified interviewee
to come for an exclusive at our H Magazine.
Qualified, unqualified.
It's not up to you to decide.
Our company is not a charity.
And it's definitely your personal stage.
Don't misunderstand. I am the senior editor.
For now.
Let's keep working.
Hello, President Wu, are you in the office?
Do you mind drop by the shooting studio? Lisa and I will be here.
Busy?
-You scared me. -Which one are you at?
You know with my intelligence it's nothing.
What's up?
Right. I need to talk to you about a application project.
An app?
Don't you have experience running Si Mei Qi's app?
So I am asking for some advice from you.
Such as calculating the startup budget.
Ok, I will do it right now.
If you want to start a business, you will need an investor, right?
In order to attract the investors, you will need an engineer to make a template.
Make the platform and functions, also some contingency.
That's easy.
Easy?
Once you have your template, you will need content and date.
It will need at least half a year to make it work.
You will also need to change the template to suit the need.
Here is the thing, do you know much it would be to run it?
At least this.
Two million?
Twenty!
It's the same as running a company.
It's not as easy as playing Bingo.
When necessary, you will need to find a professional manager.
Who would easily ask for a couple millions within half a year.
I will have to talk to Jinyuan.
Where is Li Zhicheng? Isn't he the one asked for me? Why am I talking with you?
He should be on his way. There is probably traffic. He will be here soon.
What is the matter? Grabbing me to be the delegator again.
President Wu, here is the thing,
I've been talking to Lisa about
me not allowing
DP's Peter to be the cover of our magazine.
And definitely not an exclusive interview.
But Lisa arranged all these, like you can see.
DP is an international corporation. Their brand has a high reputation.
So why can't we give our first exclusive to Peter?
I don't think that would be a problem.
Why are you guys fighting over this?
You will have to ask Grace about it.
We booked that photographer and the shooting studio.
We made the schedule for the shoot and the interview.
But she ruined it.
After all, you were being emotional than professional.
I've never agreed to do the exclusive interview.
What do you mean by ruining it? Watch your word, ok?
Grace, could you explain to me?
Peter allegedly plagiarizing other's designs.
How could we let a plagiarizer
getting on our front cover publically?
If we really let it go, that's misconducting.
Grace, how do you responsible for the
sales going down this year?
Sorry, you are only thinking about profiting.
But I want to tell you
H Magazine has morals and ethics.
If we turn ourselves into fashion billboards
because of other's greed and stupidity,
then we have lost our faith.
So morals and ethics.
Then what about you invest in Aida?
You took high risk investing Aida
when it's still unknown. When it's time to get
the reward while it's successful,
you left.
I think you just have too much time in your hands.
How did you find the time to research all the investment detail in this short period of time?
You are so funny. We invest in Aida because of
its potential.
Everyone on the board agree to do so.
We gave up the investment because we don't want to mess with Wenda.
I believe that President Wu have thought about those decisions. He agreed to all of it, ok?
So I don't know what you meant by saying all these?
I also heard that you were close to Aida's CEO's brother.
So?
I don't know the money H Corp missed has gone to whose wallet.
Lisa, don't make any wild guesses
when you don't have any evidence.
Wild guess or not, we all know it.
Ok. I will shut up. I will go arrange Peter's interview.
President Wu. I have nothing to hide.
I believe that you know all the details just like I do.
(Cafe)
What time is it now? What happened to Li Zhicheng?
He should be here soon. Just hold on for another minute.
I can't wait anymore. You wait.
Chen Zheng, I am close to win!
You are finally here.
Li Zhicheng, you are so insincere.
I am here with my utmost sincerity. If you don't want that,
forget whatever I said.
Wait. What do you want to talk about?
Peter is a cruel guy.
We all know that he is sneaky.
I assume the agreement you had with DP
has a quota you can achieve.
They can switch someone in your position anytime they want to
Switching or not, how does it have anything to do with you?
You can't even protect Si Mei Qi, you know that?
We can only have hope if we unite.
Unite. What do you mean by that?
Meaning us working together
and stop DP from doing whatever it wants in Linhai.
We unite Xin Bao Rui and Ning Weikai, working together.
And revive Linhai's fashion industry.
Chen Zheng, we want to be win-win this time.
I think with your situation,
you really need to think about it.
About Aida's investment,
the board did have doubts.
How was that possible?
I didn't do anything wrong in this whole thing.
You know that I've been on your side.
I did my research,
there is a magazine in China who wants to compete with us.
This magazine is very capable.
All we have right now is the experiences we have working with the US headquarters.
In this situation, you shouldn't going against Lisa.
So can I interpret your speech as
no matter what Lisa does from now on,
I have to tolerate her and work with her without question?
Just tolerate her.
The most important thing is to keep our relationship with the US headquarters.
Just keep us alive for a better opportunity. What do you say?
Ok, I understand.
I will not make you feel awkward.
How about this? Give me half a year of vacation.
Just so I don't have conflict with her.

I like being straightforward.
Say what you have to say.
Are you buying off Xin Bao Rui?
Yes.
Because Xin Bao Rui's retail sales have been taken over by DP.
So, buying off Xin Bao Rui is the best choice.
It's just changing the name.
You can still make money, even more money.
Peter, when the government put out the Reform and Opening-up policy,
the country was in poverty.
We didn't built our businesses for money.
We were using our businesses to build the economy.
Dad, he is talking about working together. Why did you mention Reform and Opening-up?
-President Peter has already brought the draft... -Shut up!
Actually, merging and buying happen everyday.
Darwin's rules. Simple as that.
Is DP the one that can extinct Xin Bao Rui?
Why do feel like you are just a small character?
Executive Zhu, me coming here is only out of manners.
You will know which one is the small character soon enough.
Peter, let me walk you out.
Dad, didn't we agree to talk about working together with Peter? What are you doing?
Remember that,
as long as I have air in my lungs,
Xin Bao Rui will never work with DP.
Let me tell you, "working together" is only a sham,
all they want is to eat us!
Silly boy.
Dad! Dad!
President Ning, Zhu Hanchong brought Zhu Boyun to meet Peter.
It's fine. Don't worry.
You should be the one meeting him. What's the meaning of them two meeting him?
Relax, it will be fine.
-Weikai! -Hanjing.
We have a family dinner tonight, want to join?
I probably can't.
My dad asked me to ask you. Even not for my sake, but for my father's sake, you should come.
-Ok then. -See you tonight.
Sis, are you going on vacation or are you leaving?
If you are leaving, bring me with you!
I don't want to work for her. I will be so angry.
It's ok, I am not leaving.
You are saying...it's only temporary?
Great! I will keep you updated.
It's nice that I was good to you.
Take care.
Are you going on vacation?
Since you are going on vacation, let's make it longer.
You are not very needed in the office anyways.
If you are addicted to vacation,
just go on vacation forever.
I will be here, so don't you worry.
It's not up to you to decide
however long I leave for?
This couch,
is very comfortable and soft.
If you like, welcome to sit on it anytime.
But this couch is very soft, so don't sprint your back.
Ok, I'm off to vacation.
Enjoy working.
Have a good rest.
Sis!
Don't know what are you happy about?
Grace.
What are you doing here?
I've been calling you, but you never pick up.
I heard from Cindy that you are having issues with Lisa,
so you decided to take a leave. Is that true?
That's right. It's not the right time for me to stay,
so I asked for it.
So I can relax at the same time.
Don't have to worry about me. I am strong. I won't let it affect me.
I know that you are not feeling well.
But I hope you understand that
no matter what happened,
I will be there for you whenever you need me.
Ok, thanks.
The future belongs to you young people.
I am getting old,
and it's time for me to retire.
What are you talking about.
Us Xin Bao Rui is going strong with your management.
You are not old.
But what I want the most right now is
to see we enlarge our family.
Don't worry, president.
There is a line for being Zhu Jr.'s girlfriend.
You will see you more family members soon.
Don't comfort me.
I have a question for you.
What do you think of my daughter?
Dad, I will go check the kitchen.
Hanjing is very nice. She is outstanding.
Since you are in Xin Bao Rui,
I've been treated you like family.
In the office, I trust your
more than I trust Hanchong.
Thank you for that.
Actually, Xin Bao Rui means a lot to me.
Just like home.
If you are willing, the Zhu family can also be your home.
Hanjing is a good girl.
She has been supporting you all these years.
You are a smart person, you should know that
behind every successful man,
there is always a supportive woman.
You can always feel
the woman's power and support.
I believe that you know what I meant.
Dad,
I knew that,
he is not into you.
Dad, I know.
But I don't want to push him.
I am getting old.
You can wait.
But I am afraid that
I can't wait until your wedding day.
Dad...
It has been all these years,
do you think it's worth it?
Sometimes,
waiting for someone can be happy.
You are such a silly girl.
I am just afraid that this happiness
will turn to bitterness.
DP's mid-market product has taken over your e-commerce.
Their marketing is strong, and they are popular.
Do you think there is a chance for you to win back Si Mei Qi?
Actually, it is a bit difficult.
Because Peter told me last time that he will adjust Si Mei Qi's market position.
He didn't tell me anything yet.
Si Mei Qi is in a bad position right now.
