[Return the World to You]
[Episode 42]
So you've really thought of everything.
I had no choice. This was the only way to ensure that I would have no more illusions about the incident.
But did you consider the consequences?
What consequences?
If you find
that Lu Zhun isn't Ye Qilei, then let's pretend nothing ever happened.
But if he is, then what do you plan on doing?
Steal him back from the Yin Wei?
Furthermore, if those behind the accident find out that Ye Qilei isn't dead,
will they let him go?
They might act again.
Exactly. So, your actions would be equivalent to harming him.
Yien, just forget about it.
Even if Lu Zhun is Ye Qilei,
his not admitting it means that he must have his own difficulties.
Maybe it's just not the right time.
Or maybe... Lu Zhun doesn't want to go back to being Ye Qilei.
Yien. Don't be too down.
If things get bad, you can move. Stay far away from Lu Zhun.
This Yin Wei doesn't seem to be as simple as she appears.
Hi!
Your Highness...
Your coffee.
Why haven't you sent me the celebrity congratulatory videos yet?
The contents of those videos were all about the same. I didn't think you'd be interested.
Are you telling me how to do things?
Do I need you to make decisions for me!
Everyone, come here. I have something to say.
The Zhen Shop is about to launch.
But that doesn't mean that it will succeed.
There will be a lot of difficulties that traditional media platforms do not encounter.
I hope that you will have a higher standard for yourselves.
As for the details, you must be stricter and very careful.
Although Fashionable likes capable and talented employees,
what we need more are responsible employees.
Those who think they're above being that have only one path to take and that's out the door.
- Jeez. - I'll have to work over time again.
Did everyone hear the Editor-in-Chief 's instructions?
Zhen Shop is... about to launch.
You guys should hurry and get to work.
Let's go.
Time to get busy.
Your favorite juice.
Tell everyone that starting from tomorrow, they will come to work early.
8:00 in the morning. No tardiness, no leaving early, and no requests for time off.
What's up with you? Not getting enough sleep lately?
Or is it because you're experiencing too much stress due to the Zhen Shop launch?
Why don't you let me make a massage and spa appointment for you?
Stop right there. Please do your work well. I don't need you to worry about my personal matters, okay?
I've already done the work you assigned me.
Look. This is the celebrity congratulatory video.
I just want to...
Childish.
After... The congratulatory video is after this, look.
Please find me someone from the Editorial Department
to re-edit the celebrity congratulatory video.
- Give it to me before the workday ends. - Got it. - That's all.
Don't be mad. I was just joking around.
I prepared another video especially for the Zhen Shop launch.
I've already given that task to someone else. You can leave now.
What exactly did I do wrong that is making you so mad at me?
Did I offend you somehow and made you unhappy—
This is the work hour.
If you don't know what you're supposed to be doing,
then please go read the Fashionable employee handbook.
I'm only warning you right now.
If you keep treating work as your playtime,
then leave right now.
It's not that. I've really done all the work you wanted me to do. Your Highness—
Assistant Bi Dong,
there isn't any "Your Highness" in here.
Xiao Mi, help me send these to the patternmaker.
Nice going Speedy. Didn't expect you to come out with a new line this fast.
Online shopping is a fast market and with Zhen Shop coming out soon,
Ellassay should have a backup line since we are a special partner in this project.
- Just let me handle it. - Okay.
Boqian, Vice President Shao is asking you to go see her.
Okay.
Vice President Shao is looking for me?
Yes. Here's the problem, my friend bought two concert tickets,
but Lin Shu can't make it, so she gave them to me.
I-I wanted to ask if you would be interested.
- Okay. I'll give you the money. - No, no, that's not what I meant.
I was just wondering if you'd be interested in going with me.
So... you're asking me to go to a concert?
I just... didn't want to waste a ticket.
Alright, I'll go with you. But I have a condition.
What condition?
I'll pay for the tickets. How can a gentleman let a lady pay?
Fine. I'll listen to you.
- Director Dai. - Director Dai.
What's going on?
R-Right. Director Shao was looking for you. You should go.
Oh, right.
Director Dai, I'm going to...
Come in.
Vice President Shao, you were looking for me?
This is our company's VIP customer information.
Please use their measurements and make each person the Zhen Shop launch-special, limited edition outfit.
Vice President Shao... This probably violates the rules, doesn't it?
According to our contract with Zhen Shop,
any limited edition outfit specially designed to celebrate the Zhen Shop launch
can only be sold and distributed through the Zhen Shop.
If someone finds out that we're making it available for another venue,
then it would be difficult for us to explain that to Zhen Shop.
Boqian, sit.
You've been at the company for quite some time now.
I've seen that you're constantly improving.
You are indeed designing better and better.
Thank you Vice President Shao for your praise. There is still a lot for me to learn.
Then the first thing you need to learn is to re-calibrate your one-track mind.
People need to learn to be flexible.
These VIP customers
spend seven figures on our company's products every year.
Don't you think that the company should maintain our relationships with these people well?
They have all said that they really like the launch-special, limited edition outfit.
But they don't have time to fight for it online once it launches.
Don't you think that the company should try to solve this problem for them?
Vice President Shao, I understand everything you're saying.
Treating the VIPs well is also a part of my job.
But... I'm not worrying about myself.
It's... It's already been determined that the limited edition outfit can only be sold and distributed through the Zhen Shop.
Ever since Qin Ye left, the Design Director position
has been temporarily filled by Nuote.
But you know very well that he also has a position in France.
He has too many responsibilities.
He can't fully invest himself in our company.
This issue makes my head hurt quite a bit.
The Design Director position is such an important one.
Who should I find to fill that role?
If... If we can place pre-orders in advance on the platform,
that might be the way.
That's the right mindset.
What did Vice President Shao want?
N-Nothing. She just gave me some information on the VIP customers.
Do you know which company is in charge of maintaining Zhen Shop's online platform?
The Zhen Shop online platform is overseen by Zhen Fashion Magazine themselves.
I think the person in charge of the project is named Bi Dong. I think he's Cen Wei's assistant.
Just an assistant, yet so capable...
Do you know him?
No.
Director Shen is personally following up with Zhen Shop this time.
Even Vice President Shao can't interfere.
No wonder.
What are you looking at?
Why are you here? Is the Tech Department done with all their work?
The bugs found in the intranet are fixed,
but there are still some security vulnerabilities.
How is that possible? Didn't I already give you a code to fix that?
It's mostly because I3's compatibility with our system is still unstable.
You know that in order to get the platform online sooner, from the start we used the Struts open-source framework.
But the main problem with using that is internet vulnerability.
But you also know that we won't have another choice right now.
In order to allow I3 to merge compatibly, Struts is the best choice.
How about this. We first close half of the I3 access ports.
That will lower our risk of any loopholes. As long as the app can work then everything should be okay.
But if we close half the access ports, I3 wouldn't be able to run properly.
It will affect some of the user experiences.
Why don't you first report this to Editor-in-Chief Cen?
Got it. I know. Go back to work.
Second-quarter sales remain at 5% growth.
Now, competition in the e-commerce field is becoming more and more fierce.
For our physical store sales
to remain at this rate of growth will not be an easy feat.
Even though consumer habits are changing,
there will always be some people who'll prefer shopping in person.
We can't abandon this point.
Zhen Shop is about to launch. As a special partner,
our digital sales will surely increase.
Zhen Shop has its own fixed resources.
Also, when they were picking suitable partners,
Cen Wei had many high standards they had to meet.
Along with the I3 technology support,
Zhen Shop has more advantages than other online shopping platforms.
I have to admit,
I am truly amazed by your and Cen Wei's taste and innovation.
When did you start flattering others?
I am truly impressed.
Hello Director Shen? Director Mo is here.
Ask him to come in.
He asks that you, VP Shao, and Directer Dai meet him in the conference room.
Okay.
Do you want to notify Directer Huo?
Let's go over and take a look first.
Here, here. You've been working hard.
- Thank you, Director Mo. - There are also gift cards to try out the new oxygen facial treatment.
Is it New Oxygen?
Gift cards for a spa?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Director Mo. - Thank you, Director Mo.
Thank you, Director Mo.
- You've been working hard. - Thank you, Director Mo.
[ New Oxygen ]
- Thank you, Director Mo. - This is great.
Director Shen, hello.
Is there good news?
I heard that our employees have been working overtime to finish the details regarding Zhen Shop.
I simply wanted to give everyone encouragement for their hard work.
You're quite considerate.
Since everyone has already gotten their gifts, shouldn't you all return to your work?
- Yes, sir. - Thank you, Director Mo.
What's going on?
Did you come here and call us over
to watch you being Santa Claus giving out gifts?
Director Shen, as the second-highest stock owner of this company,
is there a problem handing out gifts to our employees and showing my gratitude?
Since you are finished with your purpose,
we still have tons of work to complete. We'll be going now.
Wait, wait, wait.
The main reason I am here is about the Zhen Shop.
Since everyone is present,
I have a few questions. Can you provide me with some answers?
What questions?
They're very simple.
First, I3 is currently the newest method to shop with.
The Zhen Shop is targeting a higher-class market.
The platform is extremely suitable for I3.
From what I know,
the person that was originally in-charge of this project was...
VP Shao. Am I correct?
That is correct. When I3 was first created,
I was in charge of all the development and research.
When Director Mo suggested I3 and Zhen Shop collaborate,
Director Shen became in charge of it after that.
No one else has been involved.
Indeed. Is there a problem?
Okay. There's no problem.
Now on to my second question.
During I3's development,
Ellassay completed an update of the customer database, am I correct?
When I3 partnered up with Zhen Shop,
did I3 protect this important client information?
DIrector Huo, I can answer that question for you.
Customer information was placed in a separate database.
When we started partnering with Zhen Shop, we indeed used a portion of our VIP customer info
to run the test of I3.
When we finished our test, all the data used was destroyed afterward.
None of that data was saved on Zhen Shop.
When Zhen Shop officially begins, only customers that personally register their information
will be kept on the Zhen Shop platform.
That will have nothing to do with us.
Why is Directer Mo asking these questions?
Good.
Are you asking these questions because you fear I am giving Ellassay's client info
to Zhen Shop to use?
That's correct. I am afraid you will give out company info because of your personal relationship with them.
If you are questioning my character,
you can check our agreement and all the communication records with Zhen Shop at any time.
Don't misunderstand me.
I know by asking these questions, at this time,
one will assume that I am here to deliberately cause problems
and undermine your reputation.
In reality, the real reason I am here
is to use my power as a stockholder.
I am here for our company's reputation and safety.
With the amount of platforms out there,
even the ones higher than Zhen Shop,
they all could be attacked by hackers,
leading to a major leak of clients' personal information.
Right now what we must do is protect ourselves
and not let any of our important client information be leaked out.
Thank you for your kind reminder.
Regarding this topic, David has already explained it in detail.
Customers must, of their own accord,
register as a user on Zhen Shop.
Regarding the protection of user information,
there is no need to worry, Director Mo.
In that case, good.
Then I won't interrupt the rest of your meeting.
Excuse me.
Fan Zhu, go immediately to Zhen Shop and check
the data used during our experiments has been deleted.
Okay. I will go immediately.
Yan Zhi, you have to make sure our customer data
is not leaked out.
Don't worry Director Shen.
We added a security password for our database. It's extremely secure and protected.
Don't start worrying just because of what Mo Xu said.
I don't care about his true intentions for coming here today,
but he is right about one thing.
There can not be any mistakes regarding the security of our customers' information.
Director Shao, Zhen Shop just confirmed our data has been totally erased.
That's good. Find Bo Qian for me.
I think I just saw him leave.
If so, I will contact him personally.
[Sorry]
Come out!
Come out right now!
What are you doing?
I am sorry. It must have been my poor performance at work the other day
that caused you to be upset for so long.
So you chose to use this childish method meant for little girls to coax me?
I kept thinking about it over and over. It must have been that day at the motorcycle club,
that phone call that must have upset you.
You must think I was lying, but I swear
it really was my sister who called me.
You don't need to explain to me.
Your private life has nothing to do with me.
You are lying. I can tell you do care
or else why would you be upset?
Is it because... you are starting to have feelings for me?
What a joke! What's affectionate about you?
Me, like you?! Stop kidding yourself.
Let me tell you, there are batches of people chasing me. What do you possess?
This is daytime, stop dreaming, okay?
You are lying. You aren't that type of person.
You're saying this on purpose, aren't you? You don't really think this way.
You're just afraid of admitting...
afraid of admitting your feelings for me.
Stop making it sound like you understand me.
Do you think just because you took me on the ferris wheel,
that it was very romantic?
Only little kids like you
would think fairytale romances are real.
I advise you to stop wasting your feelings on me.
There's no point in trying so hard for something that's impossible.
I am childish and haven't grown up yet.
However, my feelings for you were never a game.
I like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you.
The only reason I started working at Zhen Fashion Magazine was to be close to you.
I think of every possible way to make you happy every single day,
just to see your smile.
It is normal for someone with as much charisma as me
to be liked by a greenhorn like you.
But let me tell you, I don't need this cheap type of relationship!
What exactly do I have to do in order to move you?
You don't have to do anything!
The only thing you have to do is stay far away from me, the farther the better.
Since you don't want me to get too close to you,
I can leave.
As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
Also, wear lighter makeup.
Especially...
Auntie. Wenxi.
I've been calling you, but you haven't picked up. I need to talk to you about something.
Look at what you did to my Wenxi.
Why would she pick up your phone call?
Have you not bullied her enough?
Auntie, can I... have a chat with Wenxi?
No. What else is there to say?
She doesn't want to see you anymore. Get lost.
Let's go, Wenxi.
Mom, why don't you go up first?
I'll speak with him for a bit.
I'm warning you if you dare bully Wenxi again,
the people from my fan club are no weaklings.
If I call them, they will come right away.
Be careful.
Wenxi,
come back.
The company needs you.
Is it because you need me for work
that you came to find me?
Also, five years ago, what happened in France,
I'm the one who should apologize. Sorry.
It's fine.
I'm also responsible for what happened five years ago.
I originally could've pushed you away,
but I didn't.
Is there no other reason why you came to find me?
What happened five years ago in France,
you were set up by someone.
However... when I was kidnapped,
you came to save me at all costs.
Also... that day... at your home...
we... how do you explain all that?
If you don't have any
feelings for me at all,
then why did you do all of those things?
Were you pitying me?
Were you trying to comfort me?
Wenxi,
stop asking.
I don't want to see you upset
and I especially don't want to hurt you.
What do you mean by that?
I don't know how I feel either.
I haven't figured out
what my feelings for you--
Enough. I don't want to love you like this anymore.
You came to apologize. I accept it.
From now on, we
don't need to see each other anymore.
I'll give you my resignation letter as soon as possible.
Wenxi.
What else do you want from me?
I'll just pretend nothing ever happened between us.
If you really don't want to hurt me,
don't come to find me anymore.
How come you're here?
What's wrong? Am I not allowed to come see you?
Of course, you can. You can come whenever you want. What do you need?
Nothing. Come. Come and take a walk with me.
Where are we going?
Let's go. You'll find out when we get there.
It fell down!
This feels so great.
You should come out and walk around more often.
You always stay cooped up inside the hotel.
Yes, yes, yes. I should come out and walk around more.
This is for you.
What is it?
Open it up and see for yourself.
Happy Birthday!
Give me some sort of reaction.
Isn't it nice?
Since you gave it to me, how can it be ugly?
Of course. Let me put it on for you.
Perfect.
Ever since young, you were the only one who would celebrate my birthday with me.
Haven't I spent your birthday with you every year?
Let's use this phone to take a selfie.
This expression...
Come. 3, 2, 1.
What do you want for dinner?
Anything works.
Anything? Don't tell me you want to eat at a vegetarian place again.
Do you like it?
This ring is so beautiful.
I'll buy it for you.
How can you be the one to buy it for me?
Even if I want it, Lu Zhun should be the one to buy it for me.
I really hope that one day Lu Zhun will personally put this ring on my finger.
[Lu Zhun: Happy Birthday]
This tastes so good.
Don't you think I'm a pretty good catch? Why don't you... marry me? What do you think?
How come this is so delicious?
It's only instant noodles. Do you need to over exaggerate so much?
Look at who made it?
You know how to talk.
[Her Highness the Queen]
[Bi Dong]
How come she's not picking up?
[ I am sorry. The person you are trying to reach...]
Who are you?
What are you doing? What are you doing?!
Why are you kidnapping me!
[Bi Dong ] [Missed call]
He's really not going to call again?
Stinky brat sure has attitude.
I know you have a habit of jogging. Want to jog together?
Okay. I was just about to go out.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- You have good stamina. - You aren't so bad yourself.
I participated in a marathon once while I was abroad.
This time, I heard they're holding one here as well.
When it happens, let's go together.
Marathon? I have no confidence.
You can do it. Believe me.
I remember when I participated in the marathon for the first time,
Mo Xu was the one who encouraged me to do it.
I can see that he treats you especially well.
Although he's not my real brother, he's even better than a real brother.
Oh right. Have you ever heard of a person called Ye Qilei?
Ye Qilei?
He's a good friend of Mo Xu.
It seems I haven't.
I don't know all of Mo Xu's friends.
What's wrong?
He's my boyfriend, but he passed away.
I know Mo Xu because of him.
Sorry, Sister Yien. I didn't know you had such a sad story.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing? This happened a long time ago.
Then... what do you think of Mo Xu?
What do you mean?
He's smart, determined, and handsome.
You're still trying to introduce a boyfriend to me?
The only bad thing about him is that he's a workaholic
He doesn't have time to meet girls.
He only knows how to work every day,
but you two are from the same company, so you'll have more time to get to know each other.
However, I feel like he's normally quite cold.
It's hard to get along with him.
Don't get fooled by his outer appearance.
He's not really like that.
Why don't you come over for a bit? We can have a chat.
Okay.
Sister Yien, what would you like to drink?
Water is fine.
Okay.
Here.
You don't want any soft drinks?
I usually just drink water.
The first thing in common, Mo Xu only drinks water as well.
Really? What a coincidence.
You are right. There are countless coincidences in this world.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have become neighbors.
It does seem like we were destined to meet.
I met Lu Zhun because of fate as well.
Did you know I was clearly the one who knew Lu Zhun first,
but in the end, my father was the one who introduced Lu Zhun to Mo Xu.
Yena, you were in China for a week,
yet you didn't swipe your credit card once.
Tell Dad, how were you able to survive?
Of course, I have my own ways.
What method? Care to share with your father?
Of course not. It's a secret.
My Yena is starting to keep secrets from me.
Sir, our new project is about to take off.
I have to go to America tomorrow for a meeting.
Can you handle it? Do you want me to find a partner for you?
I definitely want to find one, but is there anyone suitable?
I recently met a young person. He's very capable.
- Intelligent and humble. - Sir, you rarely praise anyone.
He must be good.
- Sir, he is waiting for you. - Let him in.
Yes, sir.
- Hi. - How come you're here?
You know each other?
Yes, we've known each other for a while.
He's a friend I met in China, Lu Zhun.
It's also because of him that I had such a unique trip to China.
Okay. This is Mo Xu.
- Bonjour. - Bonjour.
Mo Xu, he is the young fellow I mentioned before.
Please sit.
So it seems like he didn't need you to move up on his own.
Of course not. He's so capable. Why would he depend on me?
What happened afterward?
After that he worked in our company for some time.
At first, Mo Xu didn't like him and caused trouble here and there.
It was only when they collaborated on a project
and because of Mo Xu's mistake, the Ludon Group was greatly affected.
However, the person who came out and admitted to the mistake was Lu Zhun.
It was because of this, Mo Xu's opinion of him changed.
But Lu Zhun left Ludon Group anyway and created Lazy.
So you're saying, the relationship between Mo Xu and Lu Zhun is very good right now?
Right. This time with Lazy's coming to China, Mo Xu was the one who volunteered
to come here to help him.
In that case, from the beginning
they planned to enter Ellassay?
I don't know about that. I don't meddle in Ludon Group's affairs.
They won't tell me either.
No worries. I'm just curious.
Did you stay in America all these years for work or for school?
First, it was school and then it was work. After that, I joined Greenpeace. (Global environmental NGO)
In these two years, I've followed Greenpeace and volunteered all over the world,
as a way of giving back to the world.
Giving back to the world?
Hard to believe someone this young has such a noble and mature cause.
Haven't I told you before, I think I'm a lucky person?
So I should do something for this world.
Your idea is correct.
Actually, we should all think this way.
Okay, it's getting late.
I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back now.
Okay.
- You don't need to see me out. - Okay, bye-bye.
Oh right, Yena doesn't know you're back yet.
- Do you want me to notify her right now? - No, no, no.
Don't tell her. I want to surprise her.
Yena... is she doing well?
She is doing great and has matured a lot.
How are things going?
Very smoothly.
But I found out something that's quite different from what we knew.
Does it have anything to do with what you want to do right now?
Yes, but it seems like our target is not the right one.
- If the truth... - Is knowing the truth that important?
If you find out the truth, will people be happy?
I'm Yena's father. You're Yena's brother.
Right now, all that we're doing
is for Yena's happiness, right?
Yes.
For Yena's sake, I can give up everything.
Me too.
