" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 47
You are right.
I can still remember...
when you were little, you sit here waiting for father.
He won't let you and he beat you up.
Right.
He always beat me up when I was a kid.
I still remember the time...
when I would sit by the doorstep and watch him play his chess.
Actually, I just wanted...
to see him sooner...
when he is coming home.
Our father did spoil me a lot when I was a kid.
But somehow,
everything has changed.
Actually,
I do want to...
make Xin Bao Rui great again.
But,
perhaps I am just not good at this.
Sister.
I wish our father is here with us.
I don't want anything.
I don't want to think about anything.
I just wish that...
the three of us...
can go back to the life we used to have.
Sister.
I miss him.
Hello? Brother, how are you?
Every time you use that tone on me,
you are asking for something.
Tell me, what is it this time?
Li Zhi Cheng and I are getting married.
Congratulations.
You don't have anything to say? You are not against this?
- Would that do any good? - This is great.
So, can you give me the household register?
It's not with me.
What do you mean?
I used the register for property procedure.
I haven't got it back yet.
I thought you bought the house last year.
When our parents got their passports earlier this year,
they used the register too.
Really?
Right, you remember it better than I do.
I just can't remember where I put the register.
Can you give me more time?
Let me recall it.
Brother, I thought you agreed and you are not against this.
You are clearly pretending not to remember it.
I am not against your relationship.
But I never said I agree to let you two get married.
Listen.
Once you are legally married,
all of your interests are bound together.
Getting a divorce can be very troublesome later.
Brother, I have thought these through.
Don't worry about this.
Just tell me where did you put the register.
He and I went through a lot in this relationship.
We have made it through all the challenges.
I love him and trust him.
I trust my own feelings.
All right, brother. Where is the register?
How about having a wedding first?
You can get registered later.
With that, you are married.
Trust me, don't get registered for now.
Once you signed the paperworks, you are legally bound to each other.
The divorce will cost you greatly afterwards.
Brother, listen closely.
First of all, I won't have a wedding unless I am legally married.
Secondly, you are telling me about divorce before I am even married?
Is this how a brother should behave?
That is where I stand.
Listen to me.
A marriage is a matter of two families.
How many relationships you have been through?
How do you know you are not getting reckless for once...
or being impulsive?
Fine, as your brother,
I need to do this for you own good.
Brother, you have been investing for far too long.
How could you see a relationship as a business?
I have lived much longer than you.
I know what is best from the aspect...
of the profit.
The household register really is with you.
Qian.
What's wrong? Not feeling well?
I want to build a team.
A design team. What do you think?
You mean a design team for Glamourous?
Precisely.
I need to handle the plans, designs and sales.
This is too much for me to handle. I am going crazy.
That's because I think too highly of myself.
That's why the sales isn't good. I need a team to help me out.
- You are serious about this? - Just as serious as my love for you.
Okay, I will recruit for you.
I am so glad to have you.
I have been struck with bad luck. Everything is against my will.
I asked my brother for the household register.
He won't give it to me and I got lectured.
What did he say to you?
My brother...
He agreed to let us have the wedding.
He thinks we can spend another year or two together.
If there is no other problems or changes,
- Then, we can get registered. - A trial marriage?
I don't want a trial. I want to get married.
Whatever mean it is,
I must get married on the anniversary of the day we met.
Okay, I will persuade your brother.
Trust me.
I need to figure this out.
How do I get the register from my brother?
I am trying to figure it out too.
What do you have?
Monkey and the others are here to report for the situation.
I will take a look.
But if we can confirm her brother has the household register,
things can be a lot easier. We can just take it.
- What do you mean? - What else can it be?
As long as she says she took it,
her brother can't do anything.
Are you insane? Are you out of your mind?
This is against the law.
You have been service for years.
I won't agree to this.
Well, what should we do then?
I say we should go and talk to his brother.
Perhaps her brother would just hand it over.
Easier said than done.
If it were so easy, they wouldn't have went through so much.
They won't need us to have a meeting here.
So, if nothing works...
Right, does her brother have any weakness?
We can exploit that.
I have a plan.
We will make him drunk.
We will have a drink with him. Say something nice to him.
Maybe he will hand over the register willingly.
Besides,
it's five against one.
- The odds are with us. - This could work.
What do you think?
Qian, how many bottles can your brother handle?
As many as it takes!
- This is my draft. - Hello.
My major in Parsons School of Design is fashion design.
Parsons School of Design? That is a good institute.
Since you graduated from there,
you could have got better offers.
Why did you choose here?
Miss Lin, I admire your works a lot. I know about Glamourous too.
I hope we can work together and promote local brands to the world.
This would be truly meaningful and influential.
Thank you.
I will give you three days.
Can you design a evening gown with Glamourous as the theme?
Sure, no problem.
Okay. I look forward to your design.
Thank you.
Hello? Brother?
What took you so long to reply me?
I was on the flight.
So, can you come over to my place later?
I lost the identity card. I need the register to reapply.
You lost your card?
Or did you pretend to have lost it...
so you can get the register for your marriage paperwork?
I really did lose the identity card.
I am in need of it. I am telling the truth.
DP's premium brand has greatly affected us.
Zhu Han Chong sold his shares.
This made it to the front page in our circle.
And after the featured article from H Magazine,
the sales of shirts from Glamourous are impacted as well.
Mr. Li,
any new plan for the time being?
The range of targeted customers for the shirt is too small.
There is no tiers for the products and no varieties.
Even without Peter's intervention, we won't have much of a future ahead.
Next, I plan to start the subsidiary brand for Glamourous.
Subsidiary brand? What is your plan?
Xin Bao Rui will be in charge of the premium X Glamourous.
Si Mei Qi will be in charge of the budget friendly S Glamourous.
Wen Da will handle the mid-range W Glamourous.
Not just the shirts but to cover all varieties of clothes.
The main focus will be Xue Yan Twill with normal fabrics as the supplement.
We will cover all range of products in the fashion market.
We will make Glamourous the best in Linhai City.
I want it to become the world-renowned designers' brand.
This is my Glamourous Plan.
You mean from premium to budget products,
Lin Qian will handle this on her own?
Mr. Li, Lin Qian is my junior.
I am confident with her skills.
However,
it's almost impossible for her to finish this work load.
Glamourous is recruiting for a design team.
This time, we are launching a head-on attack on DP.
Peter's scheme may be vile,
but there is a limit as to how far we can go.
What is the focus for consumer products?
The designs, the fabrics used and the price.
We will battle DP's copied designs with our own original designs.
Besides, the Xue Yan Twill is something DP can't get a hand on.
As long as we work together in the production, the same shirt...
will cost far less than what DP has.
I have personally composed a plan for Glamourous.
The overall ideas are in it.
It's mainly about utilizing your own strengths.
Si Mei Qi focus is on online-retailing and marketing.
Xin Bao Rui has the numerous outlets and the production line.
Wen Da will back you up with the financing.
Mr. Li we are very well aware of Wen Da's current state.
How are you supposed to get the money?
I told you my ideas.
We should keep this cooperation to ourselves.
And we can't let Peter find out anytime soon.
How much money do you need?
200 millions.
Go through the plan when you have the time.
I will wait for your reply.
Brother, you are finally here.
What took you so long?
I was busy. You should be glad I even came here.
But the office at the police station is closed.
- So, you don't need it now? - No, wait!
You did this on purpose.
Don't you lie to me.
Did you lose your identity card?
Or is this an excuse to get the register...
and get yourselves through the paperworks?
Look at you. There it goes again.
I told you last time. I thought it over.
We will have the wedding first.
Besides, Li Zhi Cheng's father is still ill and unstable.
I don't wish to startle him.
I will do as you said.
Wedding first, certificates later.
Well, I don't know if you are telling me the truth.
You are not even scared if I ignore you for good.
Brother, I am not lying. I did lose the card.
You can come with me if you want.
Keep the register with you. I am not touching it.
I don't have the time.
Brother, look at you.
You don't trust me at all.
Whatever you choose to believe, this is a fact.
Fine, stop staring.
You brought the register. We can deal with it tomorrow.
I will make you something delicious, okay?
We haven't had a nice conversation in a while.
You are bribing me with food?
You don't want it?
As for your marriage...
I am not listening to this again!
Why do you keep mentioning this?
If you want to talk about it, finish this glass.
As for your marriage,
I have some advices for you.
After all, Li Zhi Cheng is a businessman.
Whatever schemes he used on the business,
he will use it on you sooner or later.
You kept saying you can take care of yourself.
But this is the one thing that I can't ignore.
Brother, I know that.
You want to get married and have a wedding.
Fine. But one more thing.
Do not get pregnant.
Brother, I don't want a kid.
- I will listen to you. - I will hold you to it.
I always remember.
Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good.
Whether we get married or not,
I will still be grateful for you.
It's good to have some obstructions on a relationship.
If you can overcome my obstructions and end up with each other,
what happened today will become part of your story.
But if you...
fail to overcome the obstruction,
and you never end up with each other,
he is not the right man. Your love is not true love.
That is the silver-lining too.
Yes, well said.
You are trying to make me drunk.
Then you will steal the register and get married.
No!
Why would I make you drunk?
I am thanking you.
Very well, I have something big to tell you.
I am building a team.
A design team of my own.
The works are overloading me. I can't handle it all on my own.
Can you enlighten me on the plan for Glamourous...
and give me some advices?
Do you know why people love...
the custom-made Italian leather shoes?
The best of the shoe-makers...
only make around ten pairs of shoes every year.
Around five of them are made for politicians and famed celebrity.
But why did they choose the leather shoes?
Those shoe-makers hold up to their determination for quality.
You are a designer. You better than I do that...
all the founders of the fashion giants...
were once designers.
No matter how the market has changed,
if you can hold up to your resolve for quality,
hold up to the goal you started as a designer,
success will be yours.
This is what I understand about your job.
I am giving advice on an expert.
Brother, thank you for the advice.
I did learn something.
I believe in you. You will succeed.
Mr. Lin.
What brings you here?
I came here to tell you that...
Chen Zheng, Ning Wei Kai and I have come to term.
We will execute the Glamourous Plan together.
So, you decided not to get registered now?
Yes.
Trust me, this is for you own good.
You finished the whole bottle of red wine?
- Mr. Lin... - Stop calling me that.
Call me 'brother' like Lin Qian did.
Brother.
I have a bottle of Qing Hua Lang at the back of my car.
Brother, can you still handle it?
Since Lin Qian finally listen to me,
I am in a good mood. I will drink.
Calling the police won't help.
We can't see who that man was.
Grace is not heavily injured either.
This looks more like a prank.
So, I am going deeper into the investigation.
Very well, do what you must.
Do not take any move for now.
Once you found out about anything,
- call me at once. - Sure.
I have but one sister.
You must never let her be harmed.
If you ever do anything...
behind her back,
trust me, I won't let you get away with it.
Sure, understood. Brother, we won't play any trick on.
Brother?
Is he drunk?
I think so.
- Are you drunk? - I am still holding on.
You told me to have some yoghurt before drinking.
I also took the hangover medicine you gave me.
If I haven't had the medicine, I would be just as drunk.
Brother?
He is drunk.
Brother? Wake up.
He really is drunk.
Brother?
The household register.
Are you nervous?
- No, I am not. - You are not nervous?
Not at all.
How can you not be nervous about getting married?
I don't know how to put it either.
Number 212 to counter 2.
Look at the camera. One, two, three, smile!
Check you names and identity card numbers.
Okay.
No problem.
Can we take it and go now?
There is a marriage declaration before you can leave with the certificates.
- I, Li Zhi Cheng, - I, Lin Qian,
will now become husband and wife.
From now on,
we shall carry out the duty of a marriage together.
Be filial to our parents and educate our children.
We will treat each other with respect and trust.
We will tolerate each other.
We will love each other for the rest of our lives.
Whether in joy or sadness,
wealth or poverty,
sickness or health,
in youth or old-ages,
we will brave through everything together.
We will share the burden of hardship and be stay until the very end.
We will hold up to the promise today,
we can hold up to the promise today.
Congratulations, you are now husband and wife.
Brother?
If my guess is right,
you two are now registered?
You got the certificate?
Brother, I am sorry.
I am...
I thought...
I can just let it pass.
I could have pretended nothing happened.
But I am so disappointed.
I never would have thought...
you would really make me drunk and steal the household register.
I am so disappointed in you.
Brother, I am sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
I won't accept it.
Brother, I am sorry.
Brother?
Lin Qian didn't plan this. This is all my own plan.
Brother, I know you love Qian very much.
That's because you are her brother.
You don't need a reason to love and protect her.
But it's different for me.
I need to prove my worth.
Only with this tiny piece of certificate...
can let I love and protect her righteously.
You made up your mind?
You will be with him for the rest of your life?
Brother, I have made the decision.
He is the only man I will have.
Today is the day we get our certificates.
I won't ask for you to smile and give us your blessing.
But I hope you can stop going against this.
Okay?
Brother.
I went to the matrimony lawyer.
I made an after-marriage agreement.
If I ever do anything to betray our love,
betray Lin Qian or hurt her,
all of my wealth will be hers to keep.
And this agreement...
won't ask anything from Lin Qian.
I believe in her.
Qian, I have signed the agreement.
Now, with your brother as the witness,
sign it and it will be effective immediately.
Why would I sign this? I am married.
This is the plan you told me about?
I need to let him know my worth.
Brother, will this ease your mind?
Are you happy now?
We love each other.
Why must you make us build our marriage on the a piece of contract?
Is this what you wanted?
We have the certificates.
With or without your blessing,
nothing will change.
I am now legally married to Li Zhi Cheng.
He is legally my husband.
Nothing can change that.
An agreement? Are you serious?
If you truly love each other,
a marriage won't make a difference.
If you are not,
a certificate won't help you either.
I wish you to be happy.
Qian.
Your brother does love you very much.
You need to understand him.
Xin Bao Rui? Glamourous?
But with our current capabilities,
not is not the right time to start another subsidiary brand.
I have gone through the plan.
I think it can be very beneficial to us.
We can cooperate with Wen Da at this moment.
As we work on Glamourous on a larger scale,
we can turn the tide around.
This is an opportunity for us.
An opportunity?
This sound more like a risk.
We are in the board meeting.
I wish to know what the others think about this plan.
What is your take on this?
Many of our outlets...
are surrounded by DP's stores.
If we give it all we have to promote Glamourous,
Mr. Ning, how certain are you on winning the customers back?
Wen Da launched many experience marketing about Glamourous.
The feedback are good.
I think this would really be a great chance for us.
We can join hands with Wen Da. By using the help from Glamourous,
we will win this battle.
Fellow board members, this is a crucial moment.
It's an uphill battle.
Let's work together with Wen Da.
Please support my proposal.
I need more time.
Let me give it some thoughts.
Hello? Mr. Ning?
I ran into some complications.
Zhu Han Jing doesn't seem to support my plan.
She now represents the interest of Zhu Corporation.
Without her support,
I don't think Xin Bao Rui can be part of the plan.
- Can you talk to her? - Understood.
I will get it done.
What's wrong?
Zhu Han Jing disagrees with the Glamourous Plan.
I need to talk to her.
You don't have to rush.
Finish the breakfast first.
I have realized the first goal of my life.
The Glamourous Plan would be the second goal.
I will realize it for you.
Your brother sold all of his shares.
I am sure you are aware of the gravity of this matter.
Xin Bao Rui's market shares are plummeting.
I hope you won't be offended.
Xin Bao Rui is in need of a great move...
to secure its place in the people's eyes.
The Glamourous Plan is the opportunity for it.
You are right.
But why would I chose Glamourous over the others?
We have our own team of experts.
I can start a new brand at anytime.
The incidence with the allergies doesn't impact us as much now.
And through the event I held,
the public have started to accept Lin Qian's work.
Also, Glamourous is now still trending.
Chen Zheng will be part of the plan too.
Why did he bypass DP and work with you?
He started a new online model some time ago.
DP doesn't know about this.
We need Xin Bao Rui to join us.
I believe through our cooperation,
we can open up a new path to revenue in Linhai City.
Don't take this wrongly. But are you doing all these...
just because of Lin Qian?
I don't deny it.
But personal feelings...
won't sway my judgement for making a good business plan.
It's up to you to decide. Give it some thoughts.
Very well. I will go through the plan you made.
This is very detailed.
If Xin Bao Rui joins the Glamourous Plan,
I think it would be a breakthrough for Xin Bao Rui.
I have been thinking.
If this plan is a success,
we can give it all we have and make the best out of it.
But if it fails,
we will go on a trip as you wish, okay?
If it fails, you will have no money.
How are you supposed to look after me?
I have to.
I don't buy it. How many girls have you told this to?
What does that mean?
You are the only girl I told.
How do I know if you are not lying?
- Do I need to swear on my life? - That is uncalled for.
Fine, I will believe you.
I will make something delicious for you today.
Forget it, let's order a delivery.
A delivery? Don't you have faith in my skills?
But, do you even know how to cook?
You will find out soon enough.
Gao Lang?
Ning Wei Kai's sidekick.
You thug!
Once a security guard and went to jail.
Don't you know trespassing is a crime?
