[Return the world to you]
[Episode 32
Here.
Yi'en asked me about the time when I took you guys to Marseilles 5 years ago.
Also when Qilei had the accident in Marseilles 5 years ago.
The day Qi Lei had his accident, I had something and didn't plan anything for your group.
Did all the students stay in the hotel?
Should be. I don't remember much either.
Actually that day, Qin Ye, Yi'en and Qi Lei
they were all at the same hotel as your groupl.
I also remember that you personally asked me about Qin Ye.
Later on, did you met Qin Ye at the hotel?
Teacher Huo. I don't feel well.
I'm leaving first.
Welcome, welcome.
Right over there. Go straight, turn left, and you'll be there.
This library is huge.
Arts and Crafts Department.
Fashion design major.
Wow. Such a cute little cow.
New student?
Which major?
Business management.
Business management...
I'll take you.
- No need. - It's fine.
You can't take that much stuff. Let's go.
Qin Ye, Jia You!
Go Qin Ye! Go Qin Ye!
Go Qin Ye!
Qin Ye is so good.
Qin Ye got first.
Second place: Sun Peter, Award: 3000 Yuan.
[First Place: Qin Ye, Award: 5000 Yuan. ]
Really unexpected.
So amazing.
He looks dazed.
Qin Ye, you've hidden your talents deep inside.
Taking us out to dinner?
Not bad.
- Was it you? Surprised?
Tell me. What happened?
Let's go.
- Exactly what is going on? - What? Are you trying to escape from treating us?
- No...no. - Tell me what is going on first.
Wenxi, can you help me...
Hello? Do you have time tonight?
Let's eat together.
Hello?
Hello? Can you hear me?
I can hear you.
I'm in a meeting right now.
I have some thing else going on this evening, I'm afraid...
It's fine. You work. I'll hang up now.
♪ You ask me how deeply do I love you ♪ (T/N: lyrics to Teresa Teng's "The Moon Represents My Heart")
♪ And if my love is true ♪
♪ Think about it, take a look ♪
♪ The moon represents my heart ♪
You've dressed up so grandly.
What do you think? Beautiful?
One word. Approved.
You have taste.
Come here. I have a secret to tell you.
Tonight, I plan on confessing to Director Lu.
Ah?
What is your chance of success?
Love... If you care too much about what you gain and lose, you'll miss opportunities.
Taking action at the suitable time.
No matter life or death, act upon it.
maybe there will lie a surprise you never expected.
But what if the surprise...is a shock instead? (T/N: in Chinese "surprise" and "terrifying" share the same first character)
Don't you think your outfit might be...a little too revealing?
This is called sexy.
A child like you wouldn't understand.
Yien.
Hello? Yien.
Wei wei? what are you doing?
Do you have time tonight? We can eat and then shop.
I'm sorry babe. I'm meeting Lu Zhun tonight.
Whether the two of us can get together... It all depends on tonight's dinner.
I understand. You go. Good luck.
Ok. Then that's that for now. Bye.
Hanging up.
Go then.
If it fails, don't forget that I'm still here.
Older sister is in a good mood today. Not bothering to argue with you.
Leaving.
Hello.
Thank you.
What would you like to drink?
Didn't you already order red wine?
Here.
I heard that it's hard to get a booking for this restaurant.
I heard you mention before that you were interested in this restaurant.
So I booked this whole restaurant.
Are you satisfied?
How sincere.
Then does that mean you have a favour to ask of me?
In your mind, am I such a person who only cares about quick profits?
Money to me is just a number.
It should be used to create change for the better,
and more comfort. That's all.
Looks like you have never suffered.
How can money be just a number?
In this day and age without money, nothing is possible.
Including love?
Of course.
You're an honest person.
My last relationship
was destroyed by money. There's no point in me being hypocritical.
Since the beginning, I've actually wanted to say many things to you.
Right. Before, didn't you want me to find European buyers for you?
I've already contacted them. They are very satisfied.
I've already sent you their contact details.
You're so efficient.
The business of good friends, is also my business.
Good friends?
Then are we not good friends?
Do you think there is platonic friendship between men and women?
Maybe.
Just like you and Qin Ye.
Qin Ye and I are different from you and I.
- I... - Then how do you understand the relationship between Qin Ye and Shen Yien?
I think if Qin Ye always kept his feelings for Shen Yien inside,
then they would probably be good friends in their entire lifetime.
But now, they can't even be simple friends anymore, am I right?
You are a good woman.
You deserve better.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Wei wei, come in.
Weren't you having dinner with Lu Zhun?
Yes, we ate together.
What's happened? Something go wrong?
What's that smell?
Buckwheat noodles.
It's also my favorite kimchi flavour.
You are the best.
You knew I haven't eaten dinner yet.
He didn't take you to dinner?
I wasn't in the mood to eat at all.
What does that mean?
Yien, I was so embarrassed today.
I dolled myself up to confess to him.
But in the end he said...
What did he say?
He said he only sees me as a friend.
So annoying.
Don't feel bad.
Just cry it out.
So many men have pursued me.
I rejected them all.
But why does he have to be the one...
The one who sees me as just a friend?
Alright, don't cry anymore.
You're awake.
- Sleep for a while longer. - I can't.
I didn't actually sleep much yesterday night.
I haven't been sleeping well either.
Don't think about it anymore. I understand.
I only have you left.
What are you talking about silly?
Alright enough. Don't think about it anymore.
I won't, I won't.
Today is a new day. Jiayou!
Let's get up.
Oh, right. Let me tell you something.
Our magazine's ZF Shop is already up.
Hope Director Shen will give me the favor of working with us.
Since the Great Chief Editor Cen already spoken, how can I not cooperate?
I knew you would support me.
Weiwei, what do you think of YE products going on Zhen Shop?
I know well Qin Ye's capabilities.
But the entrance requirement is a bit high, we can't solely look at the individual's ability.
Only the top tier brands are allowed in.
Qin Ye's company just started, it's still a bit small scaled.
If I allow him in, then other people will complain about me.
That is a problem indeed.
How about this?
Once Qin Ye's brand gets some more recognition and reputation, I'll contact him immediately.
Thank you.
What are you thanking me for? Qin Ye's also my friend.
Besides, isn't this an opportunity for a double win?
Morning. What a coincidence.
Yien, we aren't going the same way. I'll be leaving now.
Wei wei.
Why did you reject Cen Wei?
Then did you want me to accept her?
I don't want to hurt her.
But she's already been hurt.
Yes, she has.
But if I continue to let her have hope, then I would just be adding more salt into her wound.
It's better to let the wound slowly heal by itself.
In that case, the day at the KTV place, why did you bring lilies and champagnes?
Your behavior only lead people to misunderstand you.
I apologize. I didn't think consider things carefully enough.
There's one more thing.
I went to see Ye Zi.
Ms. Zhang said there is a upcoming activity for autistic people.
One of the event is art competition.
I think we can let Ye Zi try it.
Okay, I can consider it.
Okay.
Ye Zi, look who's come.
Wow, you've painted so many.
Ye Zi, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?
How did she get a cold?
The weather has changed so much during these past two days.
So she's gotten a minor cold.
But this child... She really likes to paint.
She sits for hours at a time every time.
Miss Shen, have a look at the paintings.
Ye Zi is really talented.
There's an autism event.
I know about it. As long as Ye Zi wants to, then we can take her paintings and give it a go.
As long as she is happy. I will support her.
Here.
Ye Zi look how much your sister cares about you.
Drink the cold medicine.
Once you've gotten better, then you can paint better.
Be careful it's hot.
Slowly.
Miss Shen it's going to be Ye Zi's birthday soon.
I know.
Let's give her a nice celebration.
Thank you.
Wen Xi, thank you for all your hard work lately.
Why aren't you eating?
Qin Ye can I discuss something with you?
As long as it's not very complicated, then I'll agree to it.
I am planning to resign.
Don't act rashly.
Resigning is not a child's play.
I am serious.
Do you think resigning is such a simple matter?
Go out and take a look at how competitive the market is right now.
Staying at Ellassay is your best choice right now.
But YE Studio just started.
You really need help right now.
If you are resigning to come and help me, then I don't agree.
I don't need your help. Just do well at your job, okay?
I am not completely quitting only for YE's sake.
I've stayed at Ellassay for so long now. I want to find a new job environment.
It's precisely because you spent so long and have finally become Yien's assistant.
Even you wanted to change, you should change to a better job.
If it's about environment, YE is not comparable to the tall and bright Ellassay.
You really don't get it.
I am speaking about mental state. Tall, big & high work environment is not always the goal.
Haven't you heard? Life isn't just about the present perfunctory.
There is also poetry and distant places. [T/N base on a popular phrase/song by Gao Xiaosong.]
Life isn't just about the bread in front of you. There's still the bread for tomorrow.
One must think about work rationally.
But I'm not young anymore and I can't always stay by Boss's side as her assistant.
I also want to be like you to put in a great effort and have something of my own.
It's good that you have such determination. But it's not so simple whether it's entrepreneurship or changing career paths.
I hope you will be cautious.
I know it's not easy too.
First of all, I don't have the capital to start a company.
Secondly my habits are already set because of the long term work environment.
But I really want to come out and give it a go.
Even if it's just for myself.
I understand your situation right now. You can continue living in my place and
give yourself more time to think about it thoroughly.
Resignation letter.
Dear respected leader,
Morning.
- Morning. - Morning.
- Isn't she... - Yes...right...
Stop looking.
The report is not complete yet.
- Stop being so nosy. - Stop talking.
It's kind of awkward.
Letter of resignation
Celine, you must feel awful right now, right?
Director Shen is too much! Even though you have been coming to work late and leaving early recently,
but you've put in so much effort and time for her.
How can she dismiss you just like that?
Seeing your reaction, you didn't know, right?
Who told you that I've been dismissed?
They are all talking about it.
Hello?
Hello Assistant Hu, can you please come to human resources?
Okay.
I'm going to human resources.
Human Resources Department.
Asisstant Hu.
- The company had decided, - Termination of employment contract.
to terminate our employment contract with you.
Is this what Director Shen means?
We will compensate you according to current labor laws.
I hope your future prospects will be even brighter.
Celine, look at what time it is. Why are you still worrying about these things?
Look at what time it is.
Besides you, there's no one more suited to be Director Shen's assistant.
I actually was planning to resign.
Just I feel a little bit sad when I'm actually leaving.
Celine, stop it.
Stop worrying about me. You staying here will just make packing harder. Go.
- But.. - Go.
Go.
No more buts! Just go.
You helped her so mu—
Go, go.
Enough, go back inside.
- I'll stop here. - Quickly go back and work.
Are you emotional?
Don't you dare cry. If you cry,
you'll ruin the impression I've had of you these past three years.
It's been three years. We entered the company together.
We are both assistants to the boss.
When I though of you not been here anymore to quibble with me.
My heart just feels empty.
You still didn't get enough abuse from me?
Fine.
In the future, I'll be sure to call you every day and annoy you.
To satisfy your masochistic heart.
You promised, then you must called me everyday.
Not just call you. We'll continue to go get facials together too.
That's right. Look at your black heads.
How will you attract Qin Ye like this?
Take care.
I'm going.
Tell me your strengths.
I have a great imagination and great passion for work.
Also I love the fashion industry.
Anymore? Yes.
I can speak 3 languages.
Ok. Then say it.
I can speak Mandarin, Shanghainese and..
Also Dongbei* dialect. *Northeasten mandarin dialect.
Dongbei dialect counts too?
What is the matter? Isn't my accent just right?
You really are some character.
Then go back. I'll contact you later.
Next one!
Remember to call me, I'll be ready to work.
Ten thousand followers? I already have twelve thousand.
Why are you here?
I'm here to work.
Welcome Wen Xi.
Joining YE to be the 003 employee.
Originally we have work to do this afternoon,
the 001 leader normally doesn't allow drinking.
But we will make an exception especially for you today.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Seeing as you are here already, stop with the sulking face.
YE is in need of staff. Isn't it good that she is here?
Come.
001 leader will speak a few words.
I told you to stay at Ellassay.
Why didn't you listen?
I wanted to help you.
We can do it ourselves.
There's only the two of you now at YE. There are so many things to do.
How can you manage it?
Plus I've already been dismissed by Boss.
Dismissed?
That's right. I was dismissed.
Originally yesterday I wanted to resigned, but she didn't approve.
Who knew that today the minute I went to work
she already issue the termination letter for me.
Stop joking.
You and Shen Yien are comrades together.
Why would she terminate you this easily?
Did the company gave you a severance package?
I was laid off by the company,
of course I get a severance. What is the point of brining that up?
You've been with Shen Yien for over three years.
So you really don't understand your boss?
Still complaining that she terminated you.
Can't you tell what she has done?
If Yi'en approved of you quitting yesterday
would you be getting this severance?
She's always thinking of other people.
Even was considerate of our pride.
Boss has done so much for me and yet I didn't know anything.
It feels like I work 3 years for nothing.
All of these people from top to bottom at Ellassay are so loyal.
So I really sincerely convince when I lose to you back then.
So we must really appreciate such an excellent staff, right?
I believe that with the addition of Little Sister Wen Xi
YE's tomorrow will be better.
Right?
Since you are already here
Then be at ease and stay.
I will work my best.
Going forward, the most work for YE is our first show.
We have to make the brilliant show with our limited capital.
Wenxi, you will be in charge of the show's production and site.
Once we get back, I will give you the design sketches.
Ok.
Remember not to use Ellassay's resources and channels.
This is not about pride.
Since we left Ellassay, we shouldn't use Ellassay's resources.
Or else it would make it difficult for Yien at the board meeting.
Do you understand?
Got it, boss.
Why are you always so serious?
Even though Shen is gone. But my resources are still available.
Don't worry. I will give you the information later.
Welcome Wen Xi sis for becoming a YE staff member. Let's drink one more.
Come.
Lu Zhun, Ludun Group, Derek Yin Ceo.
Teacher Huo.
Yi'en. There is something you should know.
What? Tell me.
That...Lu Zhun really came from an august background.
He is from Ludun Group.
Ludun?
Old Xu, go to Lazy Store.
Ok.
Ludun is mainly in the banking, energy and real estate in Europe.
They've never step inside fashion industry. What if found odd is...
during Lazy's expansion, the capital it used
came from an investment company.
The owner of that investment company is also the owner of Ludun Group.
Derek Yin.
You are very pretty. Why did you come?
I only need a few minutes of your time.
Why did you cover up your relationship with Ludun?
You never asked before.
Then I'll ask right now. What is your relationship with them?
You are very scary when you are so serious.
Sit.
Drink some water. I'll tell you slowly.
Do you remember what I told you about how I made my first bucket of gold.
You said you meet an important person when you were doing real estate sales.
That person is Derek Yin.
Ever since then I've been working for him.
But you've always concealed the fact that you actually work for him.
I...
I have no need to conceal anything from you.
Maybe it is because Ludun's work style had always been low key.
Derek doesn't really want everyone to know that he is getting involve in the fashion sector.
Because it is very different from what he normally does.
So we decided not be open about this point.
When I told you about Mr. Yin's donation,
Why did you act like you didn't know him?
Ludun Group does charitable work globally.
There's a specific department in charge of that which I am not involve in.
Also he didn't let me know ahead of times that he wanted to make donation this time.
If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know.
You are the founder of Tianqiao Foundation.
Why didn't he give you the check instead of coming to me?
Maybe he wanted to see you.
Why did he want to see me?
To see what type of person has been influencing me.
To put aside money making tasks.
Your work in the foundations is of your own volition. It has nothing to do with me.
It may not have anything to do with you before.
Then later on you are very much involved.
Can we speak in a different way?
If you keep on questioning me like this, I really will think that I am a criminal.
As if the phrase behind me says: leniency for a confession, penalty for resistance.
Is there anything else that you are hiding from me?
What else do I dare to hide from you?
You've even found out who the boss behind me is.
