[Wait in Beijing]
[Episode 13]
In the fairy tale, when the princess sleeps and won't wake up,
there's always a prince riding a white horse, holding a sword
that will appear in front of the princess.
The story will have a happy ending.
Okay. It'll be okay.
- I want to throw up. - Don't throw up! Please don't.
Don't throw up!
Almost there, hold it. Don't throw up!
We're here. Finally. Be careful.
- I want to throw up. - Don't throw up.
I want to get up and throw up. It's so unbearable. I want to throw up.
It's not okay.
I'm not feeling so good.
I'm really not feeling so good.

But...
the gap between reality and fairy tales are too big.
A dream will not necessarily come true.
A nightmare might silently creep up.
Hey, Guo Dong.
Hi, Kaven.
You're back from home?
Yeah, I came back for a shareholders' meeting.
The usual.
You didn't have a fight with Sheng Xia, did you?
How can you tell?
From your appearance.
You said before you would quit drinking.
Then, you were so happy to take Sheng Xia back home to meet your dad,
to discuss the marriage. Right?
Look at you now, in your eyes,
it's all dejection.
And the thirst for alcohol.
You didn't come to drink, did you?
Yes, you are right.
Give me a drink.
Sorry.
I'm not selling you alcohol.
Just make do, okay?
Don't joke with me. Here.
Tip.
Even though I really love money,
I have my principles. In the past, you kept talking about wanting to stop drinking.
You still want to marry your beloved woman. A man like you won't break that promise at my place, right?
Fine. Put this aside first.
How about this? I'll give you some more. Here you go.
Take it all.
Come on.
Unless you buy the entire bar.
Hey!
We broke up.
That bad?
So I need a drink.
Three years and it ended like that.
Love isn't everything.
Then, what is it?
Like this glass of alcohol, you can put it down just like that?
May I help you?
Whiskey, please.
Kaven?
Xiaoduo?
Why are you here?
Where are you going?
I...
You... are you drinking here?
I came for a shareholders' meeting. I will go back home tomorrow.
You really quit drinking for nothing.
Xiaoduo, I only drank a little. Trust me.
Both of you are really...
Xiaoduo, you didn't answer me yet.
Where are you going? How is Sheng Xia?
Don't mention Sheng Xia, okay?
I thought you already quit alcohol. I didn't think that you'd still be drinking.
Xiaoduo, can we go outside and talk?
There's nothing to talk about.
Xiaoduo.
This is...?
Sheng Xia's best friend; my good friend.
Your good friend?
Sheng Xia's best friend? Oh my.
What?
Why do I think she...
likes you?
What? What are you talking about?
My instincts tell me... she likes you.
You have too vivid an imagination.
[Jeffrey Rudes]
Hey, beauty. Want to come home with me?
Are you okay?
Hank, I...
It's so cold. Why are you outside?
[Good Night]
Xu Tian, you were pretending to sleep.
No way. They slept together?
If Salina knows, she will go crazy.
If Kaven knows, his heart will break.
No way. No way. We can't let them know.
Then, what do we do?
We have to stop them... Watch them closely.
I just saw that they were so annoying.
- So I left. - How about this?
Let me find you a room to stay.
If Sheng Xia comes to find you later,
then talk with her. We have to talk sense to them.
We'll see.
And one more thing. Don't wander the streets in the middle of the night. It is not safe.
Hank,
I think you are really different from most people here.
With you, I really feel quite safe and secure.
You don't also think that I am stupid, right?
You're pretty cute.
Saying that a guy is cute means you don't like me.
Then...
what about saying a woman is good?
If you say a woman is good, then it means you just think she's good.
Hank, I just realized
you're so deep.
I didn't say that. Xu Tian said it.
He's shrewd. Don't listen to his nonsense.
Okay. Okay.
Oh my.
Mr. Xu Tian, I have some questions to ask you.
Please sit.
Close the door?
Did you sleep with Sheng Xia?
Are you asking... whether we slept together or "slept" together?
Answer if you slept together or not.
We slept together.
Do you like her?
Can I not answer this question?
You must answer.
What do you think?
- I think you like her. - Why?
Look. You normally don't drink.
When you were with her, you drank during the day
and got drunk and slept together.
- Who told you? - Jia Xiaoduo.
Why would she tell you that?
- I... - What's your relationship with her?
We have no relationship.
Does Salina know?
Then I'll tell Salina.
Am I asking the questions or are you asking me?
Officer Hank, you were slow again.
The game has ended again.
Turn off the light. Goodnight.
You sneaky bastard.
Xiaoduo.
Xiaoduo, wake up and make breakfast.
Xiao–
Sheng Xia, I got some job interviews.
I hope that I can find a new job out there.
I will be very busy these days. Don't look for me.
You chose your own life.
We should each take care of ourselves.
Mrs. An.
Three days are up. Key.
Look at how well I cleaned.
For the past two days, I've completely mopped the top and bottom floors.
Also, look.
Not one bit of dust at all.
Super clean.
It's what you should do.
Give me the key.
I've packed everything. I'll definitely return the place to you.
It's just...
I haven't figured out a place to live. Can you give me 2 more days?
I knew you would be shameless.
This location of mine.
If you stay for two more days, do you know how much money I would lose?
Be a little understanding, okay? This is called, "You not knowing your limits."
I'll give you the money for the two days.
Do you think this is a money issue?
This isn't a money problem, you got it?
Let me tell you. I just don't like people like you.
It's always pitch dark in here. You don't know the rules here at all.
Who are you?
He's my friend.
Let me tell you. Do you think I need your money?
I just don't like people like you.
It's always pitch dark in here. You don't know the rules here at all.
If you don't understand the rules, don't come out and do business.
Do you know how shameful this is?
- Not understanding this... - You said it right.
If you do business, you should follow the business rules.
Who are you?
This is my business card.
I just want to remind you.
If you force this lady out today,
you might have to owe some compensation. So much that it'll be troublesome.
What do you mean by that?
Xu Tian.
You must've rented this place to this young lady for several years, right?
In the rent that you've collected all these years,
have you paid taxes?
Tax? What tax?
Lease tax.
What do you mean by this?
I have been renting places for so many years.
I've never heard anything about a lease tax.
You.
Then you're done for. You'll probably have to deal with charges for tax evasion.
You not only need to compensate some money, but you might even need to go to jail.
- And. - That bad?
Every customer's rights are protected by the law.
If you want her to leave, you have to contact her at least a month in advance.
Did she contact you a month in advance?
- Three days. - Three days?
Three days.
You're violating her rights by doing this.
If you get dragged into issues concerning honesty and trustworthiness,
then you won't be able to rent this place out ever again.
Fine, fine. I won't argue with you.
Tell me. How many days do you need?!
- I think at least– - Two days!
Two days. I will definitely move.
Two days?
You said so.
Then two days it is.
I'll leave now.
Mrs. An, take care! Don't worry. I'll definitely move in two days!
What are you doing?
You're amazing.
You're the amazing one!
I didn't expect you to be so good at bluffing.
Can you move all this stuff in two days?
You could've gotten at least two weeks.
I have already thought it through.
What's so good about this place? The rent is so expensive.
I'll just find a cheap place to make a comeback. (T/N: idiom - to return to office after living as a hermit on Mount Dongshan)
You've been labeled for infringement and plagiarism. This just proves there's a problem with your character and credit.
Who would be willing to rent a place to you?
It'll probably not be that bad.
Relax. It's fine.
Thank you for today.
Okay. Last box.
You have so much stuff.
Is the place you mentioned reliable?
Of course, it's reliable.
[New York] [Summer]
Today deserves to be a memorable day.
Sheng Xia's Clothing Studio officially leaves Central Avenue.
It's not the end, but a new beginning.
Actually, there's nothing special about this place. It's just in a good location.
There's more traffic. Transportation is easier.
There's nothing that good about it, right?
Do you know how to comfort someone?!
I knew you'd just say a few words and then your true identity would show up again.
Who says success must start from Central Avenue?
None of the great designers that you like started out at the top.
That's right.
In Europe, there was a creator of a quality brand.
Scraping together whatever they could to finish their first line.
What was the result? The repercussions were particularly terrible.
Even the second batch of fabric orders was canceled.
Due to an unexpected turn of events, it was still completed.
What happened ultimately? It sky rocketed!
What is not possible?
Right. Look. What a great inspirational movie.
Exactly.
But if this happens to you,
it would be a comedy. Right?
♫ Sometimes I am lonely, I can barely carry the burden ♫
♫ The words are stuck in my throat with no one to tell ♫
♫ What exactly are we pursuing? ♫
♫ Why do we continuously, unceasingly push forward? ♫
♫ The hands that are bleeding ... ♫
We are here.
- Here? - Yeah, let's go.
Hello.
Go on in.
- Wait for me to come out. - What?
Geez.
Hurry up, Tony.
- Open the door. - This... This is the key.
It's messy in there.
- Just open it. - How do I open this?
- Can you do it Tony? - This... This...
Should we tell that person?
Come in.
This is the great place you mentioned that is in a good location,
right by the Financial Center,
and has peace and quiet in noisy surroundings and tree-lined streets?
Of course. Don't underestimate this underground warehouse.
Within 300 meters,
is the Manhattan Bridge that crosses the East River.
In the future, when you go out for a walk every day,
you'll be able to see the unique architecture of netted and intertwining steel.
Filled with the unique local color of Gothic arched doors.
Working in this perfect environment,
you'll definitely get a lot of inspiration for your designs.
Also, there are a lot of bars around here.
Think about it. Those talented men and beautiful women
can be your potential customers in the future.
What do you think? Say something.
Hello. Salina.
It's Brother Tian. Come over.
- How much? - $500.
- $500? - It's very cheap. No more cutting down the price.
No.
Look around here.
This location is so good. This area is so big.
If you put it online, within minutes and you'll get an offer for $2,000.
You're only charging $500. No, I can't take advantage of you.
$2,000.
Of course, it's good but can you get that amount of money?
I will think of a plan.
$500 is really enough. Salina also told me at the time that I had half the rights to use this warehouse.
Salina?
That's right. I forgot to tell you.
This warehouse is Salina's.
We had a verbal agreement before
that I can use this warehouse as I please.
Then, will Salina agree?
No problem.
She usually uses this warehouse to store some alcohol. It hasn't been used.
If you want to rent it out, just entrust me to handle it.
Look. I already have the contract.
Really?
Here.
Just sign it.
This location, this price is one and only.
Also, you want to make a comeback,
you must find your own place. Right?
You don't even have a place to live now.
Sign it.
- Thank you, Xu Tian. - No problem.
[Sheng Xia]
Xu Tian?
Salina.
- Thank you. - Why are you here?
Didn't you rent this place to me?
Rent to you? When did I say that I would rent this to you?
Xu Tian said that you agreed.
I don't agree!
How much is the rent?
- $500. - $500?!
$500 dollars.
You have the nerve to rent it?
Great Designer Sheng, should I give you another investment fund
and an additional 100 employees?
He didn't tell you how much the rent was either?
Of course, I didn't know.
Do you think you can rent this for $500?
Who are you? What is my relationship with you?
Why would I rent for $500 to you?
Xu Tian!
Xu Tian.
Salina, I know the rights to use this warehouse is yours.
But do you remember,
how was I able to get this warehouse?
I know you personally got it.
- But so what? - That's right.
You remember that I asked for it all day and night.
It was very difficult to get Jake to accept such a low price
and give us the rights to use it.
Yes. You saved me a lot of money, but that warehouse is mine.
I always remembered one thing you said.
I have half the rights to use this warehouse.
So I rented her my half.
Your half is still your half.
You do whatever you like, stock up your drinks or papers. Right?
Great Designer, aren't you my client?
You could say that.
Aren't you looking for a place here?
If I could find another place, why would I be renting here?
What's wrong with my place?
Calm down.
Did you willingly sign the contract?
I don't want to rent it anymore.
It's fine. Give me the money.
What money?
The last line of the contract.
If Party B doesn't pay rent, Party B will pay a penalty to Party A $50,000.
You've signed the contract already. It's effective immediately.
I told you when you signed it to not regret it.
- Shameless. - Xu Tian, you're clearly helping her!
How am I helping her?
What I want is for everyone to sit down together and discuss business.
Look. I used such a cheap price of $500
to let her rent this studio in such a good district.
So I decided at her studio,
we must have 10% of the shares.
This 10% of the shares can be used
to pay for your operating expenses and salary.
No way!
Why not?
50%.
Okay.
He came up with so many deceptive reasons, he's clearly helping her!
Hank, if you were really my friend, you would help me chase that woman out!
Enduring for a little bit will give you the entire world.
What entire world?
She has already seized my territory!
No! I'm so mad. I can't stand it for one minute.
Since Xu Tian won't let her go, I'll just become hostile with Xu Tian!
Our 10 years of friendship is over!
Salina, don't worry.
Salina, I was wrong.
It's all my fault for not taking into consideration your feelings.
The fact is, you have always been a girl who's good at understanding others.
I definitely trust you.
You won't do things that'll make things difficult for others and make trouble unreasonably.
So, how do you want to resolve this situation? I'll listen to you.
You really think that about me?
Of course.
I'm sorry.
Forget about it.
I can't forget about it. I can't forget about it.
I'm such a jerk, Salina.
Forget it.
Salina.
Okay, no problem. What?
Eat with Sheng Xia?
Okay.
It's better than becoming her client.
Okay. I understand.
- There is even wine? - The wine is here.
Here. Let's have a toast.
In terms of feelings and logic, I don't have any reason to let you stay.
But since Xu Tian said it, I'm giving him some respect.
Salina, this is my business with Xu Tian. My contract is also only with him.
Don't use him as a cover in front of me. I have the final say here.
- You're announcing your official rights? - Yes.
Knowing this will help us get along better in the future.
I just love your ability to be flexible.
Your contract with Xu Tian has nothing to do with me.
But if you want to live here,
then I'd like to establish a set of rules with you.
Start showing your abilities, okay?
I won't be able to add more for the rent.
But you can make clothes. Make me an outfit every month.
I'll customize two outfits every month for you.
My designs are very expensive.
My advertisement fees are even more expensive.
But you have to let me use the other half of your warehouse.
Sometimes I have to use it for cutting.
Sheng Xia, you are really good at bargaining.
I promise I'll make you look beautiful.
Fine. Then it's settled.
Two outfits.
Let's have some wine.
I don't need to eat steak every day. You can just make me whatever.
Dream on. You want to eat steak every day?
How are you playing this round?
Can't you be more serious when playing a video game?
It's settled.
Amazing. You were able to put them together.
You're... playing with fire, young man.
Salina is like an iceberg. As long as you give her a little warmth,
she'll slowly melt.
About Sheng Xia, she is someone who is open to persuasion, but not coercion.
As long as you give her some steps, she'll follow these steps
and slowly walk down.
I say. You're simply not a lawyer. You're more like a psychologist.
These two gunpowder buckets can't explode in front of you.
Of course.
Without a little skill, I would've been killed by an explosion already.
Let's talk about something else. It's also the most important thing, it's about Xu Tian.
It's also the most unimportant thing. Xu Tian is yours.
Regarding meals...
Can I get some meals here?
Sheng Xia, you exceeded my expectations.
I won't eat for free.
I was a waitress when I was in school.
I can work for you.
Two hours every day. Based on my requirements.
Three hours.
Deal. Cheers.
- It's settled. - Thank you.
Aren't you a designer? Now it's time for you to show off your skills.
I'm leaving the design of our workshop to you.
Find workers to paint these walls. Arrange things nicely.
Use whatever style you want. After all, this is just one part of my bar, right?
Great. It's time for you to display your design skills.
- Let's see what you can do. - No problem.
Don't disappoint me.
Relax, Boss.
♫ Do you see the city lights ♫
♫ Reflection of the stars (from above) ♫
♫ In the city that never sleeps ♫
♫ You are all I need ♫
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time today to attend
the opening day of my Sheng Xia's workshop.
I hope in the future, everyone can
support and order more from me.
I will also work hard to not disappoint everyone.
Thank you, everybody.
♫ We’re starting with nothing but wishes ♫
♫ Ended up making that chump change ♫
♫ There in the back of the kitchen, wipin' all the dirty dishes ♫
♫ Feels like I never existed ♫
♫ Cuz’ all they be telling me, telling me “none of yo' business” ♫
♫ Every pinch lingers in all my senses ♫
♫ Baby, what you started with nothin' but wishes, ended up-- ♫
♫ I'm just waiting for you to come my way ♫
♫ I‘m just waiting for you to say that you’ll bright up my day ♫
Hello, mom?
Sheng Xia. Sheng Xia. Your signal isn't good there.
Oh my signal is bad?
I can hear. Where are you right now?
A friend's warehouse.
Warehouse?
Why you are in a warehouse at this time of the day?
I closed the shop.
You closed the shop?
Wasn't the shop doing well? Why did you close it?
Why didn't you tell me before?
Either way, it's closed.
But don't worry, I will get it back soon.
You're just squandering around. You're not sticking with Shen Kai.
If you were with him, would he let you stay in a warehouse?
Mom, why are you still bringing him up?
We broke up.
My stupid child.
Breaking up doesn't mean you can't get back together.
Stop being stubborn.
Just give in.
When you encounter these things, you should take a step back and he will do the same.
Mom, I'm busy. Talk to you later.
When talking about this, you always use busy as an excuse.
You know you're wrong and are calling back to apologize, right?
I just won't pick up.
Let you wait a while.
Xiao Qin?
Xiao Qin, what's up?
What? I'll be right over.
President Li, I remember telling you this not just once. This order
is going to be exported to Europe. The requirement for craftsmanship is extremely high.
I know that.
We confirmed with you all the material and matching color when we first started.
The color is fine.
The problem is the material.
President Li, it's not like you don't know. Europe's
chemical requirement for fabrics is extremely strict.
I'm sorry. I can't accept this batch.
President Cai, the material for the pocket is actually quite small.
I can't accept it no matter how small it is.
This is an issue of principle, you know this well. Right?
President Cai, you're right.
President Cai, relax. We'll have remedial measures for this.
Remedy? How?
President Li, no matter what, we cannot accept this batch.
According to the contract, Shuang Ying must compensate me for my loss.
That's not possible.
President Li, this...
President Cai, can you extend a few more days for us?
We will change all the pockets.
I will compensate for the loss during this extension period.
Let's go!
President Cai. President Cai!
Fengying, how come I heard from Xiao Qin.
He said that something happened to President Cai's order.
Yes.
Now what?
We do what we have to do.
Try our best to repair the faulty ones. I already asked everyone to work overtime.
That Xiao Qin said President Cai didn't agree to that.
Don't say anymore. Just go do your work.
Sorry.
Fengying, how about this?
You work on fixing the order. Leave the matter to me.
I'll go talk to President Cai.
It's time for me to do something.
As you grow up, will you realize
that fairy tales will usually greatly disappoint you.
Not everyone can live happily ever after.
On the contrary, real life is a tyrant.
Always pushing you into a hopeless situation.
But as long as you don't give up, there's the hope of conquering it.
After the end of a chapter,
we can write a new story.
The technical operation of this process is very difficult.
Our factory's technicians are already few,
we need to find more people to help and work overtime.
But the cost will be high.
We need to do this even if the cost is high.
Yes.
Then regarding President Cai...
Even if we have to work overtime, we must do all we can to finish this faster.
I understand.
- Tell everyone to hurry up and start working. - Okay.
Do your best!
Bravo! Bravo!
Thank you. Thank you.
Old Tan, your friends are quite good.
It satisfied my craving. Very authentic.
As long as you're happy, President Cai.
I can't believe you could sing laosheng so well! (T/N: laosheng are those who sing the middle-aged or elderly men roles in opera)
Old Tan, actually,
I understand why you came to find me.
You came to say good things for Li Fengying, right?
Honestly speaking, I really can't agree to anything.
Business is not like singing Chinese opera.
In Chinese opera, you go off-key. At most, you'll hear some boos and hoots.
With business, if there's a mistake in the details,
the losses are in silver and gold.
But, President Cai, is what you say reasonable?
But you know your order...
Fengying is doing it at full force. She hasn't even made a profit yet
and this little problem appeared.
Can you see if you could be a bit forgiving?
Look at them, singing quite well.
