[Return the world to you]
[Episode 19]
At this time, you're should not show up here.
What, are you afraid Shen Yien will see?
Didn't you already take her back?
It seems like your injury is quite severe.
Your punch was quite ruthless.
Sorry
I thought you were making decisions on your own.
I accept your apology.
If we hadn't discussed it already, I'd think that you were actually in love with Shen Yien.
I'm reminding you; you better not forget why we came back this time.
I didn't forget.
But from the start, I haven't agreed.
on using Ye Qilei to upset her, right?
I did this so we can finish our plan as soon as possible.
Moreover, is Shen Yien a good person?
I don't care what the others think, but we can't do it like this.
Is this you caring about Shen Yien?
Either we don't come back,
but since you did come back, then don't tender hearted.
[8 years ago]
I can't run anymore. I'm done.
- Come on Yien. - No, I don't want to run anymore.
Keep going for a bit; you can do it!
I'm not running anymore!
Don't you want to lose weight?
What do you mean? Do you think I'm fat?
I don't!
- Then what did you mean?- I didn't mean that.
Stay right there. Stay.
Don't run.
Conference Room.
- What time is it?- What's going on?
Did something happen to Director Shen?
She's never been late to a meeting.
Perhaps, it's because we just had a victory against She'N. She overexerted herself.
After all, this is just a regular meeting.
It's nothing urgent.
Yien will have reasons for being late.
Is she someone who's careless about work?
Furthermore, what right do you have to say anything about her?
Even if she has an important reason, a lot of people are waiting for her.
She should have at least let us know.
But don't forget, she is your boss.
Sorry for being late.
Let's start the meeting.
High level service are gradually implemented. Coordinated with the new season.
The sales volume and reactions in our stores are all very good as well.
Hence, I think we can carry out the I3 project as planned.
Everyone's been working hard. I have a suggestion today.
Recently, there's a movie called "Fashion without Boundaries" that is about to start filming.
I'm hoping Ellassay can participate in it.
The producer of this movie is An Jinghui who is very renowned.
His works have always been extremely popular.
Right now, he's interested in collaborating with us.
If this collaboration works out,
not only will we benefit from it, it will also promote our brand.
This film will also be filmed in France.
it will greatly help Ellassay to consolidate our foundation in France.
Think about this in details. This is an excellent choice.
- Invest in a movie?- That's not a bad idea.
Based on the company's current available funds, we are definitely able to invest in "Fashion without Boundaries."
I'm against it.
From what I know, the investment for this movie is around $150 million USD.
Even if we just invest in 10%,
we would need to take out... about 100 million RMB.
Also different industries are worlds apart, we are outsiders when it comes to movie investments.
the risk is really too high. We might not be able to carry it out.
- Yes.- She's right.
It depends on who's the one carrying it out.
What you're saying is you'll carry it out?
I just think that this is a very good investment opportunity.
As to who will take charge will be decided by Director Shen.
Every year we spend about ¥20 million on marketing.
They're all pretty much the same.
And what's more, these past few years we've been constantly surpassing other brands.
This is because we weren't afraid of taking risks.
The most important point is, for a movie like "Fashion without Boundaries", not everyone has the opportunity to invest in it even if they have money.
If we take out a portion of our advertisement expenses
and use it as sponsorship, then that's fine.
However, we really need to think over the idea of investing in a movie.
Moreover, the guarantee of An Jinghui's box office
This doesn't mean the movie will be profitable.
Movies have a long cycle, takes longer for the return on investment.
What if there are problems with our cash flow? What should we do then?
This way of thinking is too conservative.
What investment doesn't come with risks?
There's trend to insert advertisement into TV shows and dramas.
Sun Peter from She'N is also competing for this opportunity. He wouldn't do anything without seeking profits.
Do you understand?
I don't think my way of thinking is conservative,
but rather Director Shen's suggestion is...
- What's wrong?- I'm fine.
Everyone stop talking. I have already made a decision.
Let's not discuss this anymore.
Yien.
Take a seat first.
What's wrong? I'll take you to the hospital.
No. I'll be fine after resting for a bit.
Are you sick?
What time is it?
4.20pm.
What's wrong? Do you have something else to do?
I have a meeting with An Jinghui.
Hurry up and sit down. No matter what you have prepared,
cancel it all, okay?
Help me grab my bag. I'm going to wash my face and head out.
How can you go discuss business in your current state?
Cancel the meeting for now and reschedule once you're feeling better, okay?
I can't cancel the meeting. I must get this investment.
I definitely have to get this investment. I can't cancel.
What's wrong? Okay. Just rest your head.
Don't go anywhere today. Just go home and rest.
How about this? Let Shao Yanzhi go to dinner.
She's our Vice President. She can also represent the company in discussing business.
Director Shen.
Miss Shen, I have arrived.
You are sick?
No problem, then...we will reschedule.
- Lu Zhun? - What a coincidence.
- You're back again. - I..
In any case, I didn't come for a swim.
Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?
I have a meeting with Mr. An Jinghui.
You must be Miss Shen. Come in.
Thank you.
Director Lu.
This must be...Mr. An Jinghui.
Hello, I am Ellassays Vice President.
I am Shao Yanzhi.
Hello.
Why didn't Director Shen come?
She is busy with other matters.
Didn't Miss Shen say she was sick?
This is my business card.
In the future, you can contact me if it's regarding the project.
[Shao Yanzhi, Ellassay]
I'm sorry. I didn't bring my business cards with me.
How about you sit down and we can talk while eating?
Okay.
Waitress, please get her some utensils.
Thank you.
Where were we just now?
Just now, I said this was much better than French food.
Then I said you must miss home.
Are you not the same?
Lazy was doing well in France. Why did you suddenly come back?
Mr. An, are you planning on producing "Fashion without Boundaries" this time because
you want to showcase to the world the culture of China?
You don't say, the longer I stayed abroad, the more I missed home.
Now, whenever I see anything that's close to China, I feel sentimental.
You and I are not the same.
I can't be always giving the nice clothes for the foreigners to wear.
I should save some good things for own people in home country.
Then do you mean my movies are only for foreigners to watch?
With movies, as long as there are ticket sales,
and there are words of mouth and box office, it's a success then.
So, your Fashion without Borders,
Is it especially for the Chinese market?
I just want to produce a movie about Chinese culture with a Chinese story for our Chinese people to see.
Our ancestors left so many good stuff for us. It's a shame to lose them.
So you are returning to your old roots.
Here's to your Fashion without Borders.
Cheers.
Mr An, our company is sincerely interested in investing into your new movie.
Let's talk about this in a few days.
Lu Zhun. I had a good meal today.
But I've eaten a bit much. I need to hurry up and head to the gym to work it off.
You take care of the bill. I'm leaving now.
Goodbye.
Vice President Shao, would you like to order anything?
No, thank you.
Then I will be leaving too.
Thank you.
Shao Yanzhi.
Hello, it's me. Qin Ye.
Yien is sleeping right now.
Then please tell her,
An Jinghui has absolutely no interest in working with us.
He wants to work with Lazy.
What do you mean?
An Jinghui and Lu Zhun are good friends.
You're awake.
Slow down.
Wait.
How are you feeling?
Any better?
A lot.
How long did I sleep for?
Not long. Why don't you sleep for a while longer?
I don't want to sleep anymore.
Where's my phone?
Are there any news from Shao Yanzhi and An Jinghui?
Stop thinking about those matters.
Are you hungry?
I'm not hungry. Give me my phone.
You have nothing but water at home.
How about I order you a congee?
Give me my phone.
Where's Yi'En?
She is resting.
I heard that she is sick. How is she?
You are really quick in getting news.
Who told you? An Jinghui?
I didn't come to argue with you.
Where is she?
Stop being a hypocrite here. You are not welcomed here.
You might as well come in seeing as you are here.
Yi'En.
Why don't you rest in your room? What did you come out here for?
Sit down.
Qin Ye, can you get me a cup of water?
Okay, fine.
Are you really sick?
Did you go see the Doctor?
Let's go.
I'm here, so no need to bother you Lu Zhun.
Yi'En have some water.
Yi'En don't talk so much and rest more.
What did you come here for?
Nothing, I just came to see you.
I'm fine. Thanks.
Yi'En you should rest more.
Rest up. If you need anything, I am just next door.
Yi'En doesn't need anyones help.
Don't butt in.
Okay then. I'm going.
Okay.
He just just being nice and coming to see me. Why are were you so rude?
Do you think he's here to visit you out of good intention?
Shao Yanzhi has already told me,
Lu Zhun was having lunch with An Jinghui.
Shao Yanzhi called you?
She called while you were sleeping, so I answered for you.
She said that she couldn't get any words in at all.
Lu Zhun was talking to An Jinghui.
There's definitely something wrong with Mr. Lu.
Can you not be so sensitive?
I knew they were friends.
I'm not being sensitive. It's just impossible to not to be suspicious based on of all his actions.
I can guarantee he wants to replace us and work with An Jinghui.
Why would he do that?
I'm guessing his goal is to acquire She'N.
But he knows I want to acquire She'N. Why would he fight me for it?
His Lazy just entered the local market and needs to a swift progress.
He needs Shen's stores and channels.
But don't forget. He helped us to put the pressure on Shen.
That indicate how devious this person is.
Put pressure on She'N also benefits Lazy.
He wants to use us to pressurize Poetry.
You know?
Producer An, you must be tired from swimming.
Drink some milk to replenish your energy.
It's you.
Your news is very up to-date. You are even able to find me here.
I know you've only just come back. You are busy and don't have time to see me.
So I came here to see you.
Director Sun, I know your intention.
Let's not waste any time. I will be completely honest with you,
Regarding the investment in the movie, I already have someone in mind to collaborate with.
So I am sorry.
Director An, please consider it again.
I'm really sincere. Furthermore, She'N
is the one of the top brands in the country, right?
Hello. Please enjoy.
Thank you.
- My friend is over there. - Please.
Director An, I'm sorry for yesterday.
That's alright. You were sick.
I called you this morning, because I wanted to apologise.
I also wanted to discuss our collaboration together.
This is Ellassay's proposal for Fashion without Borders' general overall style.
I hope you will take a look.
This time we are also researching and developing our first line,
using renowned international designers.
Will also use handpicked European materials to seamlessly merge...
Miss Shen.
For this new movie, the reason we chose to collaborate with a domestic fashion company,
because my interest in Chinese fashion's influences in the international stage.
If you simply provide me with the concept of using a international renowned
fashion designer,
then I might as well do this in France,
I might as well just work with the people here.
I understand what you mean.
The principal designer for Ellassay is Qin Ye.
At the previous Fashion Week in Paris, he...
Golden Boy of Design. I heard of him.
But wasn't he accused of plagiarism?
I know about that incident and already been cleared up.
That was just a misunderstanding.
Miss Shen, to be honest,
The design proposals that Lazy's up and coming designers were enacted very smoothly.
Furthermore, it has a good prospects.
Their designs, concept and philosophy complement us very well.
Moreover, what I highly valued most,
is that their entire team is made up of new and young domestic designers.
But I remember, we were originally your top choice.
At that time I had only just come back,
I didn't know about Lazy's expansion in China.
But now Lu Zhun has changed my thinking.
I'm leaning towards working with Lazy.
Alright then.
I still hope you can look over our proposal thoroughly.
If I have time, I will look at it.
- Goodbye.- Okay.
How can you always pretend that nothing has happened?
What? Did it not go well with An Jinghui?
I don't know if it went well or not, because we didn't even get to talk.
He didn't even want to see me.
Then find another chance.
As if it's that easy to find another chance.
You didn't see how he was looking at me.
He treated me like I was transparent.
Like I wasn't there.
The people he meets are either big movie stars or tycoons. It's quite normal for him to be arrogant.
It doesn't matter how arrogant he is
as long as he can help me make money.
However, the problem right now is he outright said,
"I don't want you to invest in my movie."
I'm almost certain he will give it to Ellassay.
How come I heard Lu Zhun has been quite close with An Jinghui recently?
Then it's over. Lu Zhun and An Jinghui were already good friends.
Think of a plan. Use your brain and come up with a plan.
I hired you. I spent so much money hiring you just so you can make me money.
What's going on now? I've lost ¥50,000,000.
The sales at our brand stores are getting worse and worse every day.
I'm telling you. If this progresses, I won't be able to pay your salary.
Don't worry, as long as they haven't signed the contract yet.
Then we will still have a chance.
What's wrong? Who has upset you?
Who else could it be? You.
Tell me. Where have you been these last two days?
You didn't answer my calls.
I was very busy for the past few days over the investment of this movie.
You can't be angry over something so small.
What does this mean?
It means I am not important in your heart anymore.
My dear sister, you are even jealous about work?
- Here. Eat this. - I don't want it.
Hurry up and eat it. Give me some respect.
Then were you wrong?
I was wrong.
Don't be upset anymore.
The investment in the movie, are you referring to An Jinghui's Fashion without Borders?
Don't mention it. I was supposed to have dinner with An Jinghui,
but I didn't go.
He originally want to work with Ellassay.
Now Lu Zhun has come into the picture.
Now he has another option, so he is considering Lazy.
Lu Zhun? Aren't you good friends with him?
Who said we were good friends? We are just normal friends.
The relationship between you two changes so often.
One moment, you are colleagues.
and the next, you are close business friends.
Another time, you are neighbours.
Another time, you're business competitors.
The most important one of them all, a rumored couple.
What are you talking about?
I've already thought of the headline.
"The mysterious man behind Ellassay's beautiful CEO is finally exposed."
I had fainted that day.
I still don't know what happened that day.
Shen Yi'En, Ye Qilei asked me to tell you.
He hates you.
After I heard those words,
I was completely broken.
So that's how the photo came about?
You believe what Mo Xu said?
I don't know who I should believe right now.
Qilei may hate me
But why does Mo Xu have to say that?
I don't understand why he keeps bringing up matters regarding Qilei to hurt me.
He must be related to Qilei somehow.
I must remind you, don't completely believe in what Mo Xu says.
Stop thinking about it.
Every second you spend thinking about someone like Mo Xu is a waste of time.
Having a clear boundary with that person is the most wise choice.
Who?
Lu Zhun.
You definitely can not manage him.
You will only get hurt if you get close to him.
Give him to me. I'm not scared of getting hurt.
What are you talking about?
Let me tell you. That day I went to his office
I noticed something.
Let me answer a call.
I still have work to do here.
Usually when a phone rings once,
it's to remind yourself that you don't want anyone to find out.
So what does this mean?
That indicates there is a big issue.
It means that this person must have many secrets.
- Continue. - Furthermore, it's related to love.
You are able to deduct this. Are you Sherlock Holmes?
Who am I?
Don't forget. Regarding relationships, I have a lot of experience.
Just listen to me. I am right. Distance yourself from Lu Zhun.
Leave this to me. Let me warm him up.
Fine. Go and warm him up.
Take him away. I won't touch him.
You said this yourself. That's a promise then.
Don't worry, I won't fight with you.
Then I won't worry.
Oh right. I need to go see Ye Zi.
I'm going now.
This. Take it as a memoir.
You...
Ye Zi, don't stay outside for too long.
It's too hot. You could get heatstroke.
No need. Let me fix the pole.
Ye Zi, be careful. Let me move this.
Did you come especially to see Ye Zi?
No, I was just passing by.
I remembered that she's here, so I came to visit.
Let's find a place for us... to chat.
Okay.
Did you really come to see Ye Zi?
Otherwise what?
Would I have any ulterior motives towards a kid?
Your thinking like this is not so good.
I was just passing through, so thought to come and see her. Can I not do this either?
The original first choice for Fashion without Borders,
was Ellassay.
That day I was sick and couldn't meet An Jinghui.
But you went instead.
What are you trying to say?
At the banquet, you are the one who introduce An Jinghui to me.
You knew that An Jinghui was interested in my company
and also knew I wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
You went behind my back to persuade An Jinghui to work with you instead.
Maybe Qin Ye was right all along.
You always had a motive to approached me.
I thought we were friends, that I could trust you.
I thought you are already an adult. You should have your own judgement.
It's because we are friends,
and when I knew that An Jinghui was interested in Ellassay, I was the one
who recommended you to him. Right?
Yes.
But at the same time, I am Lazy's CEO.
If there are any opportunities to develop, I won't turn it down.
It seems like I didn't say that I'm not interested in Fashion without Borders, right.
Also, if I really is a dirtbag like you said,
to work behind your back,
Why would I choose to meet An Jinghui at the same time he is supposed to meet you?
I actually wanted to tell you in front of An Jinghui that
I want a fair and honest fight with you. But coincidentally,
you got sick and didn't come.
Also, your Vice President Shao Yanzhi
is very interesting.
She offended An Jinghui the minute she sees him.
- What did she do? - Guess.
I don't know.
An Jinghui already knew you couldn't meet hime because you were sick,
But she told him, that you were busy with other matters.
If you were him, how would you think?
An Jinghui would definitely think certain way of Ellasay and the CEO?
No wonder his attitude towards me was very cold today.
He must have thought that I deliberately snubbed him yesterday.
If it was me, I'd do that same thing.
There's another thing,
I want to clear up with you.
I will acquire She'N.
This is also the reason why I want to invest in Fashion Without Borders
because I want to expand Lazy.
You already know why I want to acquire Shen.
I know. I've said this before. We're friends,
but at the same time, I am also Lazy's CEO.
Acquiring She'N will benefit Lazy.
This is a normal business procedure.
So you're saying you will definitely fight me for it?
This is not a fight. There's only so much resources.
The only thing you care about is Bellflower.
I admit that If i successfully acquire She'N,
I will give you bellflower without any conditions.
What do you mean by giving it to me?
Bell Flower is not a tool for exchange in a deal.
I want to get it back on my own.
Excellent.
You get me to the office in the middle of the night just to show me these?
That guy in the photo is the male lead in Fashion Without Borders.
But the woman next to him, isn't his wife.
So?
Is your source reliable?
Since I brought these here to show you, naturally it's 100 percent reliable.
What's the name of the woman? Do you have her contact information?
Flip it over.
Lucy, 1866653678.
Oh, I've got it.
This male actor has always portrayed himself with the good guy image.
If these photos got out,
there male lead would need to be replaced for Fashion Without Borders.
Not only will Fashion Without Borders need to replace the male lead.
An Jinghui's cash cow will collapse too.
He is also the backbone actor in An Jinghui's entertainment company.
An Jinghui spent a lot of money on him already,
that's how he achieved such status nowadays.
An Jinghui will not let these photos exposed in the media so easily.
My dear Miss Shen, you are working late?
How come you're here?
- Good thing you have me.- I know you're the best.
Of course.
I actually planned to make an appointment with Lu Zhun today
but after thinking it over, I still think you are more important. Hence, I came to see you.
Wei Wei. What you said last time was right.
Lu Zhun is not that simple.
No one can manage him, including you.
Why would you say that?
So you better not to get close to him anymore.
What happened?
I can definitively tell you. Lu Zhun is a great schemer.
First he's fighting with me on the business side over Fashion Without Borders.
On the personal side, he also goes to the nursing home to get close to Ye Zi.
Don't you find him very shrewd?
Not at all.
Didn't you say it yourself,
Lu Zhu said that he's fighting with you over Fashion Without Borders purely workwise.
Anyway it's normal for him to consider for his own company.
Who would refuse to participate in Fashion Without Borders?
Especially Lu Zhun.
Moreover, what's so strange about visiting Ye Zi at the sanatorium?
You told me Ye Zi likes Lu Zhun.
When she first met him, she didn't hate him, right?
This just shows that Ye Zi really wants to be friends with Lu Zhun.
Aren't you happy that Ye Zi has another friend?
- I know, but...- Okay.
I know you are frustrated over this movie matter
but just because Lu Zhun is your competitor,
you can't make him out to be a totally bad person.
Also, even if Lu Zhun is two faced you say,
I still like him.
What are you saying?
It's the truth.
Who would like those silly pale faced men in this society now?
Even an innocent like Qin Ye became a mole.
Even more so when he's Lu Zhun. If he doesn't has any business tactics,
would Lazy be where it is now today?
Based on what you said, Lu Zhun is not at fault at all?
Of course, he's not at fault to start.
My dear sister, he wants to fight with me over the investment in Fashion Without Borders now.
My Director Shen, aren't you pretty smart?
How is your IQ declining now?
It's such a big piece of cake. Why must you eat it alone?
Isn't it better to share with everyone?
How can I share?
Collaborate with Lu Zhun.
Hello, how many people?
Hello,I am meeting a Miss Shen.
This way please.
- Hello Director An. - Hello Miss Shen.
Sit.
What would you like to drink?
Just coffee, please.
Okay, please wait.
I'm sorry for coming late.
I just came early. Thank you for giving me another chance.
I should thank you for setting up the meeting close to my hotel.
It saved me a lot of trouble.
I left a bad impression the first time.
I can't do that a second time.
Please don't say this. I'm not a petty person.
Mr An, please don't misunderstand. I merely want to show my sincerity as a friend.
Friend?
We know there are many deceits, betrayals and backstabbing in the business world.
Everyone thinks that in order to win in the business world,
you have to turn into that kind of person.
But I want do it differently.
If I lose my conscience and love for profits,
even if I gain more money , it's meaningless.
I would like to ask you, what's your principles in life?
Relationships. I'm willing to become friends with my business partners.
For the sake of friendship, as friends we can
working together for the same goal.
It's not just about money. It'll make me feel like it's real
and also, a feeling of security.
I don't totally agree with what you said.
But I must admit, you moved me.
I believe that if we didn't had the previous misunderstanding,
we would have that familiarity at first meeting feel.
Sir, your coffee. Enjoy.
I looked at your business proposal. It was very good.
However, but I must be honest with you.
There's a tacit understanding betweenLazy's proposal and
there's tacit understanding.
so I'm still undecided.
I'm not adverse to a joint investment with Lazy in Fashion Without Borders.
Ellassay and Lazy can definitely be 50/50 in this together.
It's definitely possible.
I must admit that In China Ellassay has a bigger hold than Lazy.
This is without any doubts.
Furthermore, the target audience for my movie is China.
Then I will take it that you accept.
Fine. The investment will be co-shared
but we can't use two designs simultaneously.
Why don't we do this? Ellassay and Lazy will each come up with a proposal.
We will compared them both. I will use whichever is the better.
No problem. Here's to a good collaboration.
Looking forward to it.
Director An.
You again?
You are really something. It's really hard to get rid of you.
We are a small business. How can we be compared to you?
If we don't make some effort,
how can we get to investing in Fashion Without Borders?
Director Sun, I was already very clear last time.
Let's not waste each other's time anymore.
I already have someone in mind for the collaboration.
I'm really sorry.
That's a pity.
We don't have much fate.
However Director An, if I were you,
I would first watch this video, before making a decision.
