[Out Glamorous Time]
[Episode 44]
Cover up the cart.
This way when the customers try to add anything to the cart,
they can't. That'll drive them crazy.
So you want to give them bad user experience?
President Chen, have you considered the consequences of this?
Lao Ji, how many years have you worked for me?
- Eight? - Nine.
Nine years.
That's a long time.
Have I ever done anything to make you unhappy?
No. You are very nice to the employees and everybody knows it.
Good.
I'm telling you this off the record. This is confidential
but DP is getting the hell out of here.
Out of here?
Keep it between you and me.
When DP is out, Simeiqi will be mine again.
Understand?
I understand.
This is when you pick a side.
I'll promise you this.
The day I have Simeiqi back, you'll be the CTO.
You will get stock options. Do you trust me?
I do, of course.
DP has been mean with me. Everybody is unhappy.
We are just too afraid to say anything. If you stand up for us,
what are we afraid of?
Okay. I'll call you about the details. Go back to work now.
Okay.
Keep it quiet.
Don't worry. I won't say anything
Excuse me.
Peter?
What did the lawyers say?
They said they couldn't take on this case.
Why not?
They said the brands are all Italian.
They are selling products imported from Italy.
Some of the brands are older than DP, even though they may be small.
There is no breach.
What about the ads? The online ads?
The lawyers said we have Cinderella
and they have Snow White.
- So... - So what?
So the lawyers said if the Brothers Grimm are okay with it, their hands are tied.
The Brothers Grimm?
The Brothers Grimm? The Brothers Grimm?
(DP Group Sales Report)
What's this?
DP owns more shares in Simeiqi.
We can have you escorted out of this room any time we like.
When we signed the agreement, as a senior manager,
if I'm forced to resign my position, I'm entitled to a big buyout payment.
If you really want me out,
you'll have to pay me and that's not a sweet deal for you.
Actually at the beginning,
we looked forward to working with you
and building a bright future together.
But Simeiqi is getting worse by the day.
Simeiqi will only do well if DP does well.
I've heard that so many times.
DP is
having trouble with sales because of those Italian brands.
There's been a holdup with our popular lines because
we had to change our contractor on a short notice.
We share some common interest.
There is only verbal agreement between you and them.
Do you believe they will hold up their end of the bargain?
Think about it.
(DP Group Sales Report)
We won the first round.
Let's drink to that.
Cheers.
We only did it because we were united.
And special thanks to President Ning, who traveled to Italy for it.
Luckily I have been there many times
so I didn't waste any time.
Let's drink another round.
Actually,
this is only a small win. We haven't defeated DP.
We need something huge to beat them.
What's it?

Peter's scar is most likely from a knife cut.
A pretty sharp knife, too.
This is a man with stories.
Who else did he meet last night?
No one.
H Magazine's reviews on DP have been one-sided.
Lisa is helping him out.
I saw the numbers for China.
you won't be able to meet the annual KPI if you don't do something about it.
The Chinese market isn't fully explored yet,
but I have good understanding of the business models of the local companies.
You have three more months.
That's your deadline!
I already have a new plan.
Lisa! Lisa!
Why didn't you answer my call?
I didn't want to.
You are supposed to pay for our ads. That's the contract.
I have been holding them off for you.
They will sue you if you don't do anything now.
I have an idea how to deal with Li Zhicheng and his friends.
What?
DP's high-end brand, Royal.
Royal? Are you kidding?
For all these years,
Royal has never left Italy.
Shoppers all over the world have to travel to Italy for it.
How can HQ ever agree to bring it to China?
Why not?
You think everyone on DP's top level of management is so clean?
People make mistakes.
You have anything you can use against them?
You don't have to worry about that.
I will bring Royal to China.
And when I do, it won't be the only successful brand of DP in China.
Domani di Pioggia will also be resurrected.
Keep holding them off for me while I figure this out.
I'm out of tricks.
Do you know how we are different?
I'd never say I'm out of tricks.
- You are back. - Qian.
I have a brave design idea.
Let's give Xue Yanling to the two companies for free.
This way, if Xing Baoui and Simeiqi collaborated together,
we can lower the cost by a lot.
Just like the brand we had with Fancy.
Lowering the cost is great.
But if the three companies work together, there will be mass production.
Can the market digest this mass amount of product?
This is a report for the possible mass production for Qingcheng.
This report says that Xue Yan Ling can lower body temperature by 2 Celcius.
It reminds me of the once popular dacron.
When the dacron first came out, even though the cost was high,
which was worth a normal worker's monthly salary, but people still fought over it.
Our Xue Yan Ling can keep cool for even longer.
Plus your trendy designs, our company's marketing, and where the market is going,
once it enters the market, people will pass on the word,
the product will have its reputation.
As long as we all profit, our capability will unite.
National goods should be supported.
We need to use all we can to beat DP fair and square.
Jian, when is your older brother coming back to the country?
My older brother...should be in China.
Fine. Can you make the arrangements for
your older brother to come to my home for a meal and discuss our marriage?
When?
Tomorrow evening.
[Li Zhiqian]
It has been a long time.
How are you?
Frankly, I'm here today to apologize to you.
For the wedding gown and the letter you left her.
I know that
these were the last things you have when you were alive.
Those were the words you didn't have the opportunity to say.
but I was really afraid to let her know.
I was afraid that if she were to find out,
you will be like her forever,
the deepest wound.
Do you now how much I envy you?
She loved you.
She still loves you now.
I believe this is retribution.
For the longest time, in order to survive and win,
I did so many things
and made use of many people. Frankly, when I approached her,
my motive wasn't pure.
I thought that, this time,
In this game
I could win.
But I lost to her.
I lost the most important person in the world.
Perhaps, all this
I deserve all these.

Why are you crying?
I called the both of you here today to discuss the direction of our future collaboration.
I hope that the three of us will stop fighting behind our backs.
Instead, we profit from the same projects.
No matter if DP will be here or not, or if there will be other companies coming in,
we need to work together
doing our best to revive the national fashion industry.
Don't worry, President Li. Of course, we came today as we knew about your motive.
That's right. We can be considered to be in the same boat.
Forget about other things, let's talk real.
How should we collaborate?
Lin Qian is already developing Xue Yan Lin T-shirts.
I will let Si Mei Qi and Xin Bao Rui to
use our patent.
Xin Bao Rui can produce their own product.
Si Mei Qi can put them on their own platforms.
What about the cost?
This new material can be risky.
President Ning, you know about the current situation of Simeiqi.
We can't take another blow again.
I understand your confusion. Xue Yan Ling can be mass produced.
What's important is Lin Qian's designs.
We are going to use the designs and materials to create a new label.
As long as the designs make sense, the cost will be much lower.
Have you made a schedule yet?
Also, how much are you going to spend on marketing?
Have you thought about increasing sales?
These are our concerns.
We actually would do all we could back when.
but now, we are short in funds.
President Chen has already sold his shares.
And I only have a couple million working funds.
You need at least ten million working funds to make this many shirts.
I know about your difficulties.
Hence, I will settle the funds.
Today marks our first actual collaboration.
Why are you dressed so beautifully?
- Older brother, do I look nice? - Yes.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Where are we going?
Li Zhicheng's home.
What are we doing there?
To meet his elders.
Why are you meeting them?
You agreed with us.
- My bag... - Wait a moment.
When did I agree with the both of you to meet his family?
Stop denying. You said this in front of us.
Quote: Out of mannerism
and the protection to my sister,
When I'm back again, you can arrange for us to meet.
I made the arrangement.
When I talked about coming back again, it's not necessarily for this time.
It could be for the next time, right?
Older brother, you...
Even if it's meeting the elders, he should meet our elders first.
We will then meet his elders later.
Don't talk about this now. Dad and Mom are overseas.
You are my older brother. As the eldest, you are representing our parents.
To add further, Li Zhicheng's father's health is not good.
He is already an elder. Let's not make trouble for him.
Isn't that so?
- Older brother. - What are you doing?
We already promised them and the arrangement has been made.
We must go, older brother.
- Older brother. - Get up. Get up!
Get up.
Let me tell you, once the families meet,
the core of the matter will change.
- Older brother...! - I will go.
Let me tell you. If you really want to go, you better shut up.
You just sit there and listen to me. I will take a closer look.
Brother, friendly reminder:
can we have a better facial expression when meeting them?
Am I that kind of person?
You...smile a little.
Let's go.
Older brother.
This way, please.
Dad, let me do the introductions. This is Lin Qian.
Uncle, how are you?
I'm Lin Qian.
This is Lin Qian's older brother, Lin Mochen, President Lin.
How are you, Uncle Li?
It's the first time we are meeting. We brought some humble gifts.
The food is ready. Let's eat first.
Fine.
Brother.
What do you do?
I am in finance in the US.
Invest in what?
Whatever makes money.
Let me tell you,
you are a Chinese. Don't just invest in foreign businesses.
You should invest in Chinese business.
Ever since a long time ago, forgetting one's root, never brings good result.
Dad, let's not talk about work.
Let's eat.
You...why don't you go with your brother to the US?
Here is why, uncle, I like
Chinese traditional clothing.
So I want to stay
and do what I like to do.
Zhicheng is also helping me on building my own brand.
Dad, Lin Qian was the designer of a couple
Aida's successful projects. She is great.
When are you planning on having kids?
The more the merrier.
I have prepared a beach house for you when you are pregnant.
Dad dad, if you are done eating I can take you back so you can rest.
I haven't even started eating. What are you talking about?
Uncle Li,
my sister would like to focus on her career.
What you were talking about was not our priority.
What do you mean by not your priority?
People get married so they can have children.
She doesn't have to work anymore.
We have enough money for her.
We also have enough money for all of you.
I also have enough money for my family. But I hope that
my sister can make her dreams come true,
and live the life she wants.
What is the meaning of this?
Zhiqian, I only want you to
have more children for our family.
Getting married is for having kids. What's wrong with that?
I want grandkids, and what's wrong with that?
-Ok ok. -What's wrong with wanting a grandson?
I am sorry, his condition usually gets worse at night.
It's ok, you go ahead.
-Take care of your brother. -Go go.
Ms, take my father back to his room.
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that? Zhiqian, what's wrong with that?
Brother, I...
Brother, where are you going? Stop.
Is that the life you are going to live? You made your choice.
Brother, Zhicheng's older brother's death
really took a toll on his father's health.
He started to get sick around that time. You should understand that.
Understand. He is just sick.
Then you stay. Have babies for their family.
Brother!
President Lin. Qian. I am sorry about what happened.
My father's sickness gets worse at nights. Sorry.
It's ok.
We understand. He is just sick.
But there is one thing that I am certain about.
The thing between you two
needs to be stopped.
Little Qian, let's go.
President Lin, I have something to say to you.
Ok, say what you have to say.
Say it.
Lin Qian and I are inseparable.
There is no such a thing as inseparable.
There is no such a thing as inseparable. Understood?
President Lin, you have no idea what Lin Qian have been though together.
Then tell me, what are the amazing things that
you two have experienced?
When I just got back to Wenda, it was the toughest time.
Lin Qian and I worked on the uniform project together.
Fought over working with Fancy together.
We protect the patent for Xue Yan Lin together.
We've been through too much together. We faced the conflicts together.
And conquered all the obstacles, then built the Qingcheng you see today.
We were growing together.
It wasn't as shallow as you think it was.
You done?
Going through the troubles every entrepreneur would face
and you think your relationship is tougher than anything?
Naive.
He also saved my life.
Brother, I was afraid to tell you.
When I was sightseeing in Yunnan,
I was kidnapped by some bad people.
Every time I was in trouble,
Li Zhicheng was the one who rescued me.
There was this one time, a knife was so close to me.
Li Zhicheng used his body to block the knife for me.
If it wasn't for him, you would never see me.
My life was saved by him.
Our love has been through life and death.
Maybe it's the plan of the above.
Zhicheng, I need to ask you something. Alone.
You want to...
First of all, I need to thank you for saving her life.
But I know a thing or two about you.
You stopped the production line because DP plagiarizing Lin Qian's design.
You almost ruined Wenda.
You were really unmature.
Wenda will ruined by you.
Tell me, why should I believe that you will make my sister happy?
We've already started the plan of Million Shirt of Qingcheng.
We also convinced Xin Bao Rui and Si Mei Qi, who used to be our competitors, to work with us.
Within a year, we will make Qingcheng the number one of Linhai,
then the number one of the nation within three years.
I am prepared to face all obstacles.
And I think the biggest obstacle you are facing right now
is money.
How about this.
I will give you some money. A lot of money.
As long as you leave my sister.
Give me a number.
I will never leave Lin Qian.
And I will not need your money.
If you are here to only talk about this,
then I think our conversation is over.
Let's bet.
Bet on what?
Using Wenda and Qingcheng's share to be the bet.
I will give you two hundred million,
to build Qingcheng as you said.
If you make it, I will not stop you two.
If not,
you two have to stop.
Who are you?
Uncle, I'm Lin Qian.
We just had dinner together.
Don't you remember...
Zhicheng's girlfriend.
This is Zhicheng.
Then this is ...
Brother.
Let's go home.
What did you guys talk about?
We had a great talk.
Uncle Li, we will see you next time.
See you next time.
Brother.
I have successfully completed my mission today, right?
Go home early to rest. I have to make a move too.
No. Tell me, brother.
What did you guys talked about in study room?
You've been asking me the whole way here, which I didn't even tell you.
Do you think I'll tell you now?
If you don't tell me, I won't let you go.
Let me tell you about my opinion on Li Zhicheng.
Okay. Say.
Investing a new company is actually investing in the founder of the company.
How do we evaluate the founder?
You have to see if he was able
to get the help of many people at the beginning.
Nobody is an idiot.
If those people around him will choose to help him
it means that he has something others don't.
If he can make his enemies working with him. Wow.
Then this person is extraordinary!
Right. Brother, are you praising him?
So does it mean that he passed your challenge?
You can say that.
But I gave him a new test.
And threw him a couple problems.
Why are you still testing him? Are you done or not?
This... is for you.
Paris Fashion Week 2018
The admission ticket to Paris Fashion Week!
Are you serious?
Brother, how did you get this?
I will always have my ways if I want to get something.
You are so great!
But...
Our families have met, and we are about to prepare the wedding.
Giving me such a lure.
Brother, you don't want me to have a wedding?
Paris Fashion Week's newcomer's exhibition,
is the best channel to let the world know about Qingcheng
Delaying the wedding is nothing.
Anyways, you have the admission ticket. Attending it or not,
you discuss it with your Li Zhicheng.
If he really loves you, he won't hold you back.
I'm leaving.
What are you doing?
Why are you here? I'm making soup for you.
Miss Lida, don't touch the knife, alright?
Making soup is my duty. Your duty is only to drink the soup.
I just want to make pig feet soup for you.
I know. Let me do it.
Then, let me help you.
Alright. Help me to wash the vegetables.
Vegetable...has been washed by the housekeeper.
Okay. Then just sit down.
I will bring the soup to you, ok?
No. I want to cook with you.
Okay.
Why are you so good at cutting?
By the way, I have some good news.
What good news?
Your fashion trading app is on schedule.
I've got investors and IT support for you.
Why are you so good?
Can't you reward me?
That's better.
Buddy, you know I am not doing well financially, so you are here to give me a hand?
You wish. The money is not for you.
Not for me? Then what does this mean?
This money is for Jinyuan's app.
Where did you get so much money?
I mortgage my house.
What? Gu Yanzhi, are you crazy?
Chasing girls are chasing girls, and you are been so extravagant.
With this little money, you won't even hear anything back once you throw it in.
We haven't even started doing it yet. I think it's too soon for the conclusion.
Besides, this will allow Jinyuan to do what she likes.
This money isn't going to waste.
Look at you.
Give it to her directly. Why pass it to me?
If she knows that this money is from me, she won't accept it.
So if I give it to her, she will accept it?
Yeah, you are the bitchy one.
Let's talk serious.
This money is the startup fund for this project.
By then, spend it on what you should spend.
But, you can't spend on those.
I understand, I understand.
Ok. Never thought about there is such an angel among us.
If Jinyuan asks where the money came from, what do I...
Don't mention to her about this money.
Just tell her that you have a friend that does mobile applications.
You guys are close. He can do it for you for free.
Fine. Seems like you have true feelings for her.
Jinyuan, I heard from Gu Yanzhi that you are making a mobile application.
What, are you here to discourage me? Shut up.
I've gotten a bunch of discouragement these days.
President Chen is here to help.
Exactly. I have a friend who has his own company and team.
They only do apps.
They don't have many projects these days, so they can do yours.
So you are here to find business for you friend.
Then you found the wrong person. I don't have money.
Why mention money in such a lovely place?
Besides, that friend of mine doesn't want money.
Don't want money? Then what does he want?
He doesn't want anything. Let me tell you,
our company collaborated with them before.
Then because of some reasons, the collaboration didn't go through.
So he feels that he owes me something.
President Gu said it, and I though it was great.
I hand you the collaboration, so he won't bother me anymore.
Someone like you can have such a good friend?
Jinyuan. I've checked on that company. They can be trusted.
I have already thought of the name of your application.
["Fashionable" App Project Plan]
"Fashionable"
Interesting. I like the name.
It's basically an app for everyone to participate on fashion trading.
I was going to do it myself.
In the end, you guys are helping me.
We are only helping you build it. It's up to you if it success or not.
- Help me hold for a while. - Okay.
Where are you going?
(Poets' names)
Su Shi, Wang Wei. All the poets who has been here,
please bless my "Fashionable" App become a success.
Bless me!
-Thanks. -Anytime.
[Qingcheng Shirt]
We just put it online, and the sales are doing this well?
That's what I say, Mr. Cheng.
With your intelligence and capability, you can definitely nail Si Mei Qi.
[Qingcheng]
President Li.
Can we pick out the defected buttons?
Those buttons are high-quality replicas. You can't tell without looking closely.
There are 10 million buttons. Picking the defected ones out,
is too difficult.
Why is this happening? How did you supervise it?
