[Return the World to You]
[Episode 38]
Lu Zhun.
Sorry.
I made you worry about me.
Don't worry, I'm still alive.
Lu Zhun?
Lu Zhun.
Lu Zhun. Lu Zhun.
Lu Zhun. Lu Zhun
Lu Zhun!
Don't move. Let me hug you.
Why are you here?
I had a nightmare... that you left me.
You left me there all alone.
I'm so scared.
It's only a nightmare. It's fake. Don't be scared.
Yena.
I'm you're fiancee.
What am I doing? I feel terrible.
You're really warm. Why don't we go to the hospital?
No need. I took medication. I'll be fine.
I'll be fine after sleeping.
Are you really okay?
I'm fine.
What are you doing?
How come you're up?
I have to go to work.
You're sick. You should rest a bit more at home.
I'm fine. I've already recovered.
- Right? - You can't go.
Stay at home and rest a bit more.
No boss of a company can just casually take a day off.
Furthermore, there are a lot of matters I need to take care of at the company.
I know my own body. I won't force it.
Then finish eating breakfast before heading out.
- Okay. - Hurry up and sit.
Be careful. It's hot.
You eat some as well.
I have a few things I'd like to say to you.
I don't have any time.
I... am not trying to play with anyone's feelings.
That has nothing to do with me.
Don't move. You're so good.
Lift your head.
Don't move. Don't move. You're so good.
Ahem.
Wait a second. I'll be done soon.
You're all done.
Does it look good?
Do I look good? Do I look good? We're all done.
Yena, where do you want to go and walk around?
To the riverside. Over there.
You've been back for a few days. Are you used to living here?
It's not bad. He takes care of me very well.
That's good then.
Oh right. Some magazine's chief editor came to our home.
She didn't look too happy.
Cen Wei?
I think that was her.
It shouldn't have been anything important.
Lazy's advertisements are usually placed in Zhen Fashion Magazine.
Cen Wei is Zhen Fashion Magazine's Chief Editor.
They keep in contact just because work requires it. Don't think too much.
You're the one who's thinking too much.
Why would I not trust Lu Zhun?
I just wanted to better understand his life, work, and friends here
especially that beautiful neighbor.
I know both of them.
His neighbor is Shen Yien. She is Ellassay's CEO.
She and Lu Zhun have some business collaborations.
Shen Yien and Cen Wei are great friends.
Lu Zhun keeps in contact with them
usually because of business related matters. I guess you can consider them friends.
I also want to be friends with his friends.
Why?
It can help with his work.
Furthermore, I'm his fiancee. Shouldn't I?
Our Yena is all grown up.
28 minutes.
What?
I'm saying I waited 28 minutes for you.
You must treat me to a big lunch in order to compensate me for my time.
It's quite normal for a successful man to wait for a girl
only little friend like yourself needs consolation.
Fine. What do you want to eat?
I don't want to eat anything.
Then forget it.
Right. I found some interesting information.
You'll definitely be interested.
Keep some distance from me. Thanks.
What kind of information?
The name of the girl who's staying at Lu Zhun's home is Yin Wei.
She is the daughter of the CEO of France's Ludon Group.
Who told you to investigate this?
Don't tell me you're not interested.
I originally thought Lu Zhun was a prince.
Who would've thought he's actually an "emperor's son-in law."
Right, I was a bit surprised myself.
I never thought Lu Zhun was someone who could betray love for wealth.
Who said the wealthy can't also find love?
Speaking of which,
even if you sell out your love life, you have to see how much it's actually worth.
Do you even have any? Do you have any?
My family is also wealthy.
[Ellassay CEO office]
There doesn't seem to be any issues.
The law department needs to go over the specific terms.
Let Bi Dong go.
Work with the law department directly.
Did QIn Ye come to an agreement with Zhen Shop yet?
Not yet. They said they needed to think it over.
Think it over?
E-commerce is beneficial to YE is very evident.
Didn't you explain it to him clearly?
I said all that I should've said.
I think his pride is getting in the way.
Go ask him again. Don't let him miss out.
Zhen Shop is going live in only a few days.
I'm the Chief Editor.
If I was to chase after a small company every day,
Do you think that's suitable?
Aren't we all friends?
Fine, for you,
I'll go find him later.
Aren't I loyal?
You're great.
That's for sure. Our relationship is so close.
How can it be broken because a pretentious man?
Right, do you know Lu Zhun's fiancee's background?
You would definitely not be able to guess it.
Ludon Group CEO's only daughter.
Ludon?
- She is Derek's daughter? - Yeah.
When I was in France, I heard that someone started
a foundation specifically for helping young designers here.
I would also like to express my support.
I have always paid close attention to public welfare and charity causes.
At Ludon group, we have a special budget
to provide long term support for charity causes.
As long as it's for a good cause, we will donate.
Why did you hide your relationship with Ludo Group from me?
Do you remember what I told you about how I made my first bucket of gold?
You said you met an important person while you were working as a real estate agent.
That person was Derek Yin.
Ever since then, I've been working for him.
So he's always been hiding this from me.
Of course, he has to hide this from you. Otherwise, how could he beguile your feelings?
At least you know his background now.
You don't need to suspect he's Ye Qilei anymore, right?
Wei Wei. You really don't know how similar the two of them are.
My God. How can you be so stubborn about this?
People are similar to each other some aspects.
Peter.
I'm done with this season's designs.
Moving forward, it's all on you.
Are you serious? That was so quick.
What do you think?
Say something. How is it?
These designs?
These are all money, master fashion designer Qin.
This is a book of gleaming gold and dollar bills.
Master fashion designer Qin.
This is great.
You're amazing, Qin Ye. Let me tell you, we'll definitely succeed.
I'll tell you what I see.
I can already see the mangificent,
grand YE building standing tall on the Bund.
Everyone is wearing YE's clothes.
You're wearing YE. You're wearing YE. Beauty, you're also wearing YE.
The next step we need to get into the Paris Fashion week.
Then it's the New York...
Can you think straight for a second?
Can we take care of production and store front issue first?
Store front is a traditional, inefficient
retailing method. You should've abandon it long ago.
Also regarding production, I have a new idea.
What do you mean?
Just think about it,
if we open a brand store,
Location, renovation and inventory,
personnel training and then going to store opening. At quickest, how long would that take?
The shortest amount of time it would take would be 2 months.
The capital for staff and store front is too high.
That will increase the pressure on our capital.
Also the backlog of inventory will be a big issue.
How can we resolve this? If we give discounts, it'll affect our brand's image.
If don't give discounts, it's a waste leaving it there.
I'm not against selling YE's clothes online,
but we can't completely rule out a brand store either.
Having a store front, even with the issues you brought up,
However, it's quite useful for establishing a new brand.
Correct. You're absolutely right,
which is why we won't open a normal brand store.
Then what are we opening?
Flagship store.
In the most bustling business area,
pick the best block, use the best renovation.
We will only have a brand flagship store.
This way in the customer's mind, our YE's brand image
immediately becomes tall, great and high.
I thought you were going to bring up Zhen Shop.
After you told your reservations, I went back and thought it over.
Having YE join Zhen Shop is beneficial right now.
But the disadvantages you brought up are also valid.
I'm glad you understand.
But regarding the opening of flagship store, didn't you say we need to save money?
How much money would we need?
You have to know how to spend money in order to make money.
So our first step is to make this money from selling online now.
What is your new thinking about the production part?
One, we are not building a factory.
Invite bidding for a contractor factory.
Second, base on sales volume, we'll do more frequent but smaller batches.
This way the pressure from backlog and leftover inventory
Then it won't be a problem.
If we used a contractor factory, how can we maintain quality? Also your method of issuing purchase orders,
that will increase each piece's cost over 50%. Then how can be keep the profit margin?
I've thought about that already.
YE Fashion retail proposal.
Therefore we must find a person going into the factory to overseas the entire process.
Most importantly to optimize the production process.
Increase fabric usage efficiency, decrease wastage.
This way our cost will be low.
You're absolutely right.
Looks like you did your homework. There will be a lot of difficulties to actually roll this out.
If it was easy, why would you ask me here?
I'm here to help resolve these difficulties.
All right, since you are so confident. Anyway you are managing the operations.
Take it.
You didn't hear wrong?
Didn't hear it wrong. I've confirm it all.
This has become... more and more interesting.
I just received another news. Mo Xu is also from Ludon Group.
Mo Xu is also from Ludon Group?
But he has already joined our board meetings.
Mo Xu never worked in the companies under Ludon's Group.
This information also took me a long time to uncover.
Teacher Huo, about this Ludon financial empire,
Why is he so interested in our company?
They even sent their " little princess" here.
What are they trying to get from our company?
Yin Wei's appearance now shouldn't be because of Ellassay.
Previously, Lu Zhun and Yien were quite close.
What you're saying is... she's here to monitor Lu Zhun?
Yes. That's a possibility.
Then what measures should we take against Ludon Group?
Let's observe some more.
Before we know their intentions, we shouldn't do anything.
- Don't mind me. Continue with your work. - Director Shen. Vice President Shao.
We are working the last revisions. Will be sending to the factory soon.
You've been working hard.
Boqian. This design of yours
is not very different from the weekend series.
Director Shao, we've mainly continue on with the weekend series's concept.
Even though these don't look that different,
But in reality, in terms of fabrications, designs and also the colors,
we've made the necessary adjustments.
All right, I know the weekend series was very successful. You helped the company made money.
But humbleness will help one improve. Don't get too proud.
Vice President Shao, I didn't...
Boqian, this is Vice President Shao's way of praising you. How come you couldn't tell?
Everyone's been working hard these past fews days. When this project is done,
I'll let you guys take a vacation. Go out and have fun for a few days.
Thank you Director Shen.
- Yin Wei? - Sister Yien.
- Why are you here? - I came to see you.
Come to my office.
Why are you here to see me?
I came to ask you to lunch.
Lunch?
I know we haven't known each other for too long, but I don't have that many friends in China.
Lu Zhun went to work. I really got too bored by myself.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
Qin Ye? I saw your show on the news before.
Do you know what the foreign media says about the two of you?
They say you two are the perfect couple.
Thank you.
Then is Qin Ye your boyfriend?
No.
No? That's so pitiful. You guys would make such a great couple.
Where is he? I must ask him
A beautiful woman like you, how could he not woo you. If I were a man, I would definitely woo you.
He has already left the company.
Left? Why?
Let's go. I'll take you to lunch.
Okay. I'm hungry anyways.
Vice President Shao, this document requires your signature.
Who was that girl just now?
I don't know.
I heard that the new employee, Meng Fanzhu, was recommended by President Huo.
The new colleague... keep a close eye on her.
Okay. I will.
Use your brain when you work. Stop thinking about useless things.
Lower the air conditioner a bit.
Director Shao, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.
Have a seat.
- Do you come here often? - Yes.
This is quite close to the company.
- Take a look. - Thank you.
What's good here?
Steak. The steak here is pretty good.
I forgot to tell you. I'm a vegetarian.
Vegetarian? Are you afraid you'll get fat?
No. It's for Lu Zhun.
Why?
Didn't I tell you before
5 years ago he got into a car accident. The doctors said he couldn't be saved.
so I came Tibet, China to pray for blessings for him.
At that time, I made the decision.
As long as he recovered, I'll stop eating meat.
You really love him a lot.
At that time I even thought, if he couldn't be saved, then I don't want to live either.
Wasn't that stupid of me?
It's quite moving.
Then why did you chose to go to Tibet for blessings?
Because I met him in China.
That year I just graduated from college. It was also my first time here in China.
Miss, you're purposely making things difficult for me.
No, I really only brought my credit card. I don't have any cash.
In addition, couldn't your cab take credit cards?
You must be messing with me. You're staying at such a nice hotel and you didn't bring any money?
Hurry up and pay me! I still need to go and pick up more customers!
I really only brought my credit card and didn't bring any cash.
You're not paying, right? I'm going to call the police.
Mister, I...
Why are you making things so difficult for a young girl? How much is it?
Thank you.
Afterwards, he paid for my cab fare.
The way you two first met is quite interesting.
It got even more interesting later.
I said, "I'll return the money to you. Teach me how to get cash from a credit card."
Guess what he said.
He said, "Roaming about is a type of romance."
He suggested that I don't use my family's money and to roam around with him.
At that time, the total amount of money we had between the two of us
wasn't even $100. Just like that, I followed him and played for a week.
Not even $100? How did you guys survive?
At that time, I didn't think it would be enough either. However, in order to make money, he drew portraits of people.
Each portrait was ¥20. ¥200 a day was enough for the two of us to survive.
Then he will take me eat snack foods, walk around, squeeze into buses and subways.
Then you're quite brave. You actually followed a stranger around for a whole week.
Actually, I was quite scared. However, he showed me his student ID.
It turns out he also came back from France.
Furthermore, he said me and him were the same.
We've always wanted to come to China to take a look around.
What happened afterwards?
Afterwards, my dad found me.
So then I went back to France with him.
So he actually met your father through you?
No.
He is actually very prideful.
He said he wanted to start his own career.
Then go meet my father afterwards.
Afterwards, when he returned to France, he started working at a real estate agency.
He became a small time real estate agent at the agency.
I actually came from a poor background, in the beginning I was small real estate agent.
Maybe I got lucky, the company gave me a very outstanding client.
I made my first bucket of gold from him.
I guess he is a person of eminence to my life.
How did a small time agent get a chance with such a big client?
This person is a chairman of renowned European financial company.
He likes to be low key and don't like to be ostentatious and extravagant.
So on the day he came to our company, he was wearing an old t-shirt.
No one wanted to receive him.
The company relegated him to this small unknown agent.
It seems you are quite lucky.
He was very satisfy with my service. So he paid me a handsome commission.
Later he also advised me to use this large sum of commission,
into a few investments.
Then you used this money to establish Lazy?
It seems like he's quite lucky.
He actually get what he has now on his own.
Isn't it popular in China to post on Wechat moments?
Let's do one too. We will tag it.
This one didn't look good. Let's take another.
You had a fever again?
I'm fine.
I already warned you before.
Based on your current health, you must go back for a checkup.
Yena just arrived.
It's not appropriate for me to just leave.
Is it because Yena came or is it because of Shen Yien?
Since Yena is already here,
you shouldn't have any more hope about getting together with Shen Yien.
A lot of things, I still have not clarified yetl
What do you need to clarify?
Do you want to tell her you're Ye Qilei?
- I... - Please. Wake up.
Even if you look exactly like Ye Qilei right now and stand in front of her,
do you think Shen Yien can accept all that has happened?
I never thought something like that would happen. I also don't dare to think about that.
As long as you know.
Did you see the post in Yena Wechat?
I saw it just before.
Yena also mentioned Shen Yien already.
Yena is naive, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
I think Yena has already started growing suspicious of the relationship between you and Shen Yien.
Go back to France. Starting now,
don't think about Shen Yien anymore.
Above all, don't test Derek's patience and limit.
Rest for a bit. Work is never ending.
Thank you.
What are you busy with?
How come you're here?
Sister Cen Wei.
Based on your words, it seems I'm not welcome here.
What are you talking about?
Wenxi, make a cup of coffee.
Don't bother.
It's not a bother. Please take a seat Sister Cen Wei.
I've already seen YE's first show. It was amazing.
I'm here today to officially invite your brand in joining Zhen Shop.
Take a look over the details. [Brand Collaboration Agreement]
I still need to discuss this with Sun Peter.
You still need to discuss with him?
Can't you just sign?
You probably don't know, sister Cen Wei.
He and Peter Sun has an agreement. They each have own responsibility.
Qin Ye is only in charge of the internal aspects of the company, the designing part.
Sun Peter has the final say about business collaborations and contracts.
You guys really have a clear boundary of job divisions.
Fine. You guys need to hurry up and make a decision though.
A little couple working together, the job is easier done. Not bad.
Don't joke with me.
I'm serious. You two are a good match.
I'm sincerely wishing you both the best.
How is Yien recently?
Dont mention it. I'm angry just thinking about it.
What happened?
It's because of Lu Zhun.
Forget it, forget it. I'll tell you.
This Lu Zhun had a fiancee from France.
She is the quintessential pale-rich-beautiful.
She's come to China.
Then right now boss...
Don't say anymore. I don't want to talk about it.
The more I talk about it, the angrier I get.
Then you have to set aside more time to accompany her.
I don't need you to tell me that. Don't worry.
I've said everything I intended.
Then you guys continue with your work. I'm leaving now.
- I'll see you out. - No need. No need.
- I'm leaving. Bye bye. - Bye bye.
- Boss, where is Ben's magazine? - It's not out yet.
How could it be!
Wait a second.
Hello?
What? Going to Ben's fan meeting?
Okay!
Our Ben hasn't been in a magazine article in a while.
I have run out of topics to talk about. Yes.
Okay, I'll be there immediately. Immediately.
Boss, get Ben's magazine in soon.
Ben will be in a magazine article.
Ben, I'm coming!
It's dinnertime!
Don't need to make such a fuss with food.
How can you be casual with what you eat?
Work is already so exhausting. We definitely need to eat something good.
Thank you.
Hello?
Which hospital?
Miss Yin?
You're back in China?
What's wrong? Am I not welcome?
Of course not. You're welcome here whenever you like.
The design of this place is pretty nice.
It is his style.
Lu Zhun personally designed this place.
Where is he?
Upstairs in his office.
Okay, then I'll be heading upstairs.
It's time to get off work.
Why are you here?
I came to pick you up from work.
The environment here... is quite good.
It's just a bit small.
Nowadays each square foot is worth its price in gold in the Chinese commercial market.
To get such a place in the central business district,
it's already pretty good.
Then why don't you return to France?
I want to help Ludun expand in Chinese market.
As long as you like it, I'll support whatever you do.
Very soon,
we can return to France.
Let me get you a glass of water.
Okay.
How come you're eating this?
This is junk food.
It's full of preservatives.
I was feeling momentarily craving it.
You still shouldn't eat that though.
No thanks.
Why don't I accompany you to get some fresh fruit?
Okay. Let's go.
This one.
Everyone come here for a moment.
Let me introduce you all to someone.
This is our headquarter company, the daughter of Ludun Group, Miss. YIn Wei.
Oh so she's the daughter of Ludon Group's CEO.
- Right? She's so pretty. - So beautiful.
Here I have to tell you all a secret.
Miss Yin Wei's other position is the wife of Lazy's boss.
She is the boss lady.
I never thought he'd... introduce you like that.
He's not wrong.
I want the whole world to know, you are mine.
Didn't expect that Director Lu hide it so deeply.
Right, Director Lu, you are a beautiful couple.
Do you not have any work to do?
Go get on with it.
Wait a minute,
Hello everyone. Since is this our first time meeting, I prepared a small gift for everyone.
I hope everyone can continue supporting Lu Zhun's work.
Didn't expect that Miss Yin is so gracious and friendly.
Right, she is not arrogant at all.
You... who is the patient's family?
Me. She's my mom.
It was fortunate that we rescue her in time.
You know that once high blood pressure is raised up, it's no joke.
Don't be nervous. There's nothing to worry about.
Just stay... for observation for a few days.
Okay.
Go get her check in paperwork done first.
All right.
Auntie, please have a good rest.
I will go pay the fee.
I'll go. It's fine. I'll go. It's fine.
The two of you don't need to bother with me.
If I leave any later, Ben's
fan meeting will be over.
- This won't do. - What did you say?
I just want to go to Ben's fan meeting. What's wrong with that?
Ben, Ben, Ben. All you know is Ben.
Take a look at your current situation. You're still thinking about him?
You're not allowed to go.
I'm your mom.
Every time I mention Ben, you have this attitude.
I don't understand, did Ben bother you or offended you?
What is wrong with me having a hobby?
Did I bother you?
You are my mom, but do other moms act like you do?
Look. Look. This is the "good" daughter I gave birth to.
I... my high blood pressure.
