[Song: What's wrong with being imperfect? Singer: Huang Yali]

♫ In the crescent moon lives a daydreaming girl ♫

♫ In dreams smiling sweetly like cotton candy ♫

♫ Ignite the fairy stick and close your eyes, wait for him to appear ♫

♫ A boy shared his thoughts to the tree hole ♫

♫ Fall down and get back up, look up to the blue sky ♫

♫ Put on a suit and become the knight she wants ♫

♫ Who hasn't been hurt before? ♫

♫ Wounds can turn into strength ♫

♫ What's wrong with being imperfect? ♫

♫ After rain it becomes sunny, meeting the light ♫

♫ Being imperfect is also beautiful ♫

♫ With half a pair of wings can also soar high ♫

♫ What's wrong with being imperfect? ♫

♫ As long as there is a future with full of expectations ♫

♫ There is always a place for love ♫

♫ We're not perfect, but we are meant for each other ♫

My Girl

Episode 9

What are you doing?

Everyday I see you with a peach.

Why are you eating a peach during work hours?

Did you feed the fish?

Yes, I did. I treat them as if they are my children.

I'll give you two of them.

Thank you.

Where were you?

I'm getting older; I needed to go to the bathroom.

How come you brushed your teeth now?

I worked overnight.

Don't let the clients see you like this.

- Get off work early.
- Okay.

Clean up your stuff.

Didn't you sleep last night?

I've been very busy lately, working a lot of nights.

You should rest when you are tired, and not spend time playing games.

It's important to maintain a regular daily routine.

Don't just read books related to work;

read some novels and essays as well to broaden your perspective.

Although our purpose at LS is to service 4S women,

but to men

Sophisticated inner qualities are also very important.

You can only improve your work efficiency if you maintain a tidy work area.

This is one of the qualities that S4 women should have:

Self-Discipline.

With self-discipline comes freedom.

It's important to go to the gym each day for an hour.

Come in.

Here's your coffee, Ms. Xu.

Thanks.

Is this not fresh brewed coffee?

I made it with coffee powder. I didn't know

there would be a difference, but since you drink coffee a lot, you could tell.

I am not an expert on the subject,

but I do drink a lot of coffee, so I know the difference in taste.

Are these shoes new?

They're so pretty! Are they UR?

Those brands are wore by you young people.

Stylish, you know?

Director Xu, it's like this. I want to report something to you.

In the last quarter, we already exceeded our budget,

so there are some videos that we still haven't been able to come to an agreement on.

The suppliers are asking whether, regarding to the expenses, we could...

You still haven't handle the proposal from last month?

What you're missing

is not being smart enough.

Fine, I'll discuss it with the agency later.

Give these files to Director Shen.

Okay.

Boss, I already put the files away for you.

Okay.

Hello, Director Meng.

[Report on the termination of the development of LS's liquid foundation]

His goal is to make that liquid foundation this lifetime.

Why did Vice President Xu come back so early?

Once she came back, my stomach hurts.

My heart also hearts.

Don't you think her style is different from all of us?

She treats the office like she's walking the red carpet everyday.

Who could possibly match her style?

Vice President Xu, Director Meng called you to her office.

Director Meng? Which Director Meng?

Why are you here?

Why didn't you tell me such an important decision?

I didn't request you to do this right?

Are you helping the Boss make decisions now?

What's wrong with helping the Boss make decisions?

Do I have to report what I did?

Vice President, I think you don't know the current situation.

It's a good thing to share your Boss' burden

but if you get too involved,

then you're just meddling in other people's business.

I think you're the one who doesn't know your position.

Based on what should you be interfering with Shen Yi's work?

Is this HR?

In half an hour, prepare to let her resign. I don't want to see her.

What right do you have to fire me?

I'm the Vice President of Xiamei.

Fine, then tell me our company's philosophy on flawed beauty.

Perhaps, I'll give you another chance.

Okay.

Flawed beauty, beauty without flaws.

You don't understand what unflawed means right?

At LS, we service 4S women.

Smart, stylish, sophisticated, and self-disciple.

Don't think that by sitting here

you are the CEO.

Shen Yi is just playing house with you.

Did you think that if you learned some superficial knowledge, Shen Yi would fall for you?

He's just putting up with your childishness and immaturity.

You don't understand him at all.

Call two security guards.

You don't understand Xiamei and Shenyi.

Are you leaving yourself or do you want me to invite you?

Director Meng fired Vice President Xu.

- Is this real?
- Meng Hui is amazing.

When firing a staff, you need to pay N an additional month of salary.

Director Meng, calm down.

We're doomed this time.

Sorry.

This was all of a sudden. I didn't have a chance to tell you about Meng Hui.

This is too much, Shen Yi.

What right does Meng Hui have? Did you give her the right?

This is complicated

but I don't want to explain to you.

Don't want to explain to me?

Shen Yi, ever since I created this company with you, until now

I never discussed anything else with you other than company issues.

I hope at least at the company

you can treat me as a business partner that you can trust.

At least tell me why.

How about this?

I can guarantee that I'll think of a way to make her leave.

You've been working hard recently.

I'll give you a three day break. Rest well.

She said I don't understand Xiamei

or you. I knew you for four years.

I know what you want.

Beauty without flaws.

so you persisted to make the liquid foundation.

We know how hard it is to make a formula with liquid foundation to cover a scar

but I never said it wouldn't work

because that' what you want to do and I'll support that.

I don't blame you for what happened today.

I know you have your reasons.

After three days, I'll come back to work.

- I want to talk to you.
- Hold up.

Aren't you having a meeting?

Let's talk after you finish the meeting.

Boss, let's have the meeting first.

Who made this proposal?

When I saw the report today, I was thinking

Our company's technology is top-notch.

Our concepts are also in line with the current trends.

We're doing great in all aspects but why are we losing money?

Until I saw this proposal today,

I finally understood.

The proposal is not bad.

Ultra flat tube, futuristic, creative.

It's great.

The proposal suggests an ultra flat tube.

Yes, the shape is quite unique.

But compared to other shapes, the manufacturing progress is more complicated and it costs more.

The brow pencils on the market right now all use round plastic tubes.

Consumers are already used to it.

There's no point in trying to be innovative.

Yeah, that's what I said before...

Let's talk about colors. What is trendy now is natural eyebrow shape and coloring.

Thick eyebrows are so out of fashion.

Yet you guys developed this...graphite gray?

Multicolored black? Did you guys even do market research?

I've known a long time ago that these colors are not good.

They are really not good.

Let's talk about pricing. Even though our company is focused on high end cosmetics,

our eyebrow pencil sales are not as good as our other products.

Eyebrow pencils are usually cheap and do what they're supposed to.

A two hundred dollar eyebrow pencil may not work any better than a twenty dollar one.

I already talked to you...

about this point.

Why are you looking at me? You didn't disagree then.

We didn't agree either.

Redo the proposal.

But...

Who should we listen to?

What do you think?

Let's hear from you.

We'll listen to Director Meng.

We'll work on it again.

Listen, I want LS cosmetic lines

to become the bestselling products this year.

Don't you think we are dealing with a whole new food chain now?

I think Director Meng has a unique vision.

Listen, I think there is something going on between the two of them.

Have you ever seen Director Shen listen to another person before?

-Everybody...
-Director Meng.

-Hi, Director Meng.
-How are you doing, Director Meng?

Director Meng.

Thanks for your good work, Director Meng.

Work on two proposals--the original one and a second one.

Oh.

It doesn't matter who is at the top of the food chain,

because we are always at the bottom.

Let's get back to work.

-Get up.
-I can't do it anymore.

I'll die if I keep working.

You've worked hard the last two days doing overtime.

I'll be giving each of you a present.

You've never talked to me about this.

Be quiet.

The financial manager will receive a pillow for his neck and back pain.

Xiao Mei will get a wardrobe bonus.

The marketing manager will get approval for a flexible work schedule.

The product manager will get a vacation for two to Bali.

Wang Da Wu will receive two tickets to a basketball game.

Jiang jiang, you'll get a box of peaches.

You'll get a ticket to a concert.

You will receive an Iron Man figurine.

You'll be receiving your gifts in a couple of days.

Gosh, Bali!

You'll be getting a present too.

Looks more and more like underground office romance to me.

I've reached my limits.

But what do we do with Meng Hui?

Her condition might get worse if she leaves the company.

I'll think of something.

My company will close if she stays.

Didn't you say she gets along well with everyone?

Do you spend time at your company cultivating relationships with your employees?

She thinks of herself as a god, not as a CEO.

How would she know what each person wants?

She is simply wasting money.

Director Shen.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

There were a lot of people around just then, and I also felt a bit embarrassed because of my age,

but I want to thank you.

Thank me for what?

I have been having a lot of neck pain recently.

I never thought you would be aware of that

and give me a pillow to alleviate the pain.

You don't need to thank me.

I just want to come over and tell you thanks.

Director Shen.

I never thought you would be like this.

You might look aloof, but you are really warm-hearted.

You can tell that my relationship with my wife is not very good,

so you gave me a couple's vacation package.

I am so thankful toward you.

I'm glad you like it.

Director Shen, let me work on the new product research.

I might not be able to achieve a perfect scar-concealing effect,

but I will work hard to make it the best product.

Let me report to you about something else. Our new product can already

beat all the other foundations currently on the market.

-I appreciate it.
-It's my job.

Thanks, Director Shen. We're going back to work.

Go ahead. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Director Shen.

Thanks for the great gift.

How do you know what each of the employees wants?

The financial manager's computer is put on his desk 10 cms higher than usual.

This shows that he must be dealing with neck and back pain.

Xiao Mei is acting like she has a new crush,

so she will appreciate new clothes.

The marketing manager has to keep an eye on data,

so he's drinking a lot of tea each day.

The product manager is stuck in the research lab all day;

the scratches on his face is likely a result of his fights with his wife.

So I think he will benefit from taking a couple's vacation.

You should think of your employees as your family.

You should develop a relationship with them,

attend to their needs and they will attend to yours. This is what entrepreneurship should be like.

If you only see them as tools,

then you are just a lone warrior.

You always give off a feeling of loneliness,

with a sour expression on your face,

as if everybody owes you.

You really don't need to be like that.

I never knew you were so perceptive.

I like to closely observe.

Well...

what do you want?

I want to do research on liquid foundation.

Why?

Because that's what you want. It's my gift to you.

You are doing it for me?

You came to work at the company in order to give me the liquid foundation?

No wonder when Xing Yao said she would stop it

and you got so mad.

You wouldn't be mad that I fired her right?

Even though you guys knew each other for many years but she doesn't understand you.

She even told me that LS's flawed beauty means beauty without flaws.

That's is wrong, right?

If she doesn't even understand the company's philosophy on beauty,

then she's just a robot working on an assembly line.

Our Xiamei doesn't need a robot like her.

Then... what do you like about me?

I went to your house and saw the charity certificates on the wall. I know

that you're a person that's cold on the outside but very warm in the inside.

I like you. Even though I was hurt by this world before

but I can have warmth to face this world.

I'm not as good as what you think.

I did wrong things when I was young.

I hurt a girl.

I avoided my mistakes before.

Until now, I still didn't look for her.

If you really feel very apologetic,

why don't you take the initiative to look for her?

If I were her and saw you right now, no matter what you did,

I will definitely forgive you.

Why?

Because you're talented and amazing.

Look! This is our newest order form. I never thought I'd be earning money from making cosmetics.

Sit down. Follow the protocol.

I let Director Zhang look at the new proposal.

Do you still remember who Director Zhang is?

I remember. The senior that I met at the golf field.

The eye shadow from his company is very popular.

He said he wants to do a collaboration with us and release a product together.

- Are you happy?
- I wouldn't have these results without your help.

Then do you know where you problem is right now?

If you want to make cosmetics, you can't only rely on capital.

If you have time, watch some Korean dramas,

look at some Japanese fashion magazines. You need to improve your sense of aesthetics.

You have to love this industry.

Love?

Just like this time, you relied on an eyebrow pencil and eye shadow

to make up for the imperfections and attributes.

Don't you feel full of confidence and a sense of accomplishment?

Sorry. After going to the rooftop yesterday, I got a cold.

What a coincidence. I also went to the rooftop.

After skin care, the first step is to apply primer throughout your face.

The next step is to apply foundation.

This foundation is good for combination and oily skin.

Shen Yi, how come Meng Hui is still here?

Why are you here?

Sit down first.
Brow pencil to outline the shape and fill it in carefully.

Xing Yao, I want to discuss something with you.

Can you go on paid leave for a while?

- Do you know what you're saying?
- I know.

You and Meng Hui can't show up at the company at the same time.

So you're saying that you want me to leave and let her stay?

It's just during this time.

Shen Yi, I started working with you when the company was worth nothing.

Now the company has grown and prospered,

if you think Meng Hui is so capable, then have her work in the company.

You can even give her a position as a director.

But how can she replace you as the CEO?

As your working partner,

I cannot accept your arbitrary attitude.

You are not the Shen Yi I knew and worked with for four years.

What secret are you hiding?

It's not me; it's Meng Hui.

I can tell you the truth,

but you have to promise to keep the secret for me and Meng Hui.

Dissociative identity disorder?

I hope you can understand my decision.

I have to find a way to help her recover.

I understand you,

but I am concerned that you are misguided into making wrongful decisions.

Since it's all a misunderstanding, I'll continue to have trust in you.

I can stay and watch out for her.

I'd be happy if you stay, but...

Though you've known each other for many years, she doesn't understand you.

She even said that LS's flawed beauty means beauty without flaws.

How can she recover from her disorder?

From what I know, she wants to help me develop a liquid foundation.

So even if our current formula cannot perfectly conceal scars,

I still want to do a new product release.

In doing so, it might help in her recovery.

Don't worry. I'll go and apologize to her.

You have more important things to take care of.

At the investors' meeting, you will be grilled

about the development of liquid foundation. It would be a fight for you.

Don't worry. I'll take care of the problem between me and Meng Hui.

-Why are you here?
-Director Meng.

It was me who stopped the work on the liquid foundation.

We have not been successful at coming up with a formula. If we had kept at it,

it would be simply wasting money. Now Director Shen wants to work on a new liquid foundation

without scar-concealing effects.

The investors are not happy about it.

What if Director Shen cannot appease them?

LS might lose all its investors.

I'm afraid you are the only person

who could resolve this crisis for the company.

Where is Shen Yi? Tell him to come to my office.

He is in a meeting with the investors.

How come he is at the meeting alone? Why did no one tell me?

He does not want the investors to treat you harshly,

so he is taking over the responsibility for you.

I cannot let him attend the meeting alone.

Director Shen, we gave you our money

because we trusted you.

I understand, that's why I am grateful that you are willing to meet with me today.

Let's do away with pretty words.

We are all businessmen, and we cannot continue to invest without a prospect of profits.

I say we should immediately cut the losses. We're not going to invest anymore.

Whether we do the liquid foundation or not is up to you.

Our company has always been in charge of LS's publicity.

In an interview last year,

how much controversy did you cause when you said you'd make this foundation?

Now you said you won't work on it anymore.

Whether you're going to make it or not, who's going to make this decision?

I admit that the research on a flaw-concealing foundation

was solely my idea from the beginning. I take full responsibility.

How?

That's right.

If the new product does not turn a profit, I will provide compensation for your loss.

I just said that I was going to rely on you.

You also believe in this?

Shen Yi, who are you apologizing to?

Why are you here?

Go back first. I'll tell you when I go back, okay?

Leave? How can I leave you here alone?

-Who is this?
-Who?

How can I leave when they are bullying you?

Were you yelling at him?

Me? I didn't.

Then who did?

Do you know who he is?

He's Shen Yi, the son of Shen Qian Shan.

He is my man.

See? Didn't I say they are a couple?

After they went to the rooftop together, they both came down with a cold.

How do you think they got infected?

I'm glad I don't have to keep a secret anymore.

Be quiet.

Director Shen, what do you say?

She's right.

Please excuse my bluntness, but you are all garbage.

You're all garbage.

Losers like you

who invest a little bit of money but demand a lot in return,

aren't you blood-suckers? I use the money I make from real estate,

restaurant and entertainment business to support this company, whereas you

want to reap profit by doing nothing. You are ungrateful and unreasonable.

Rather than raising you guys, I would do charity.

Aren't you here to ask? Just in time, let me ask you guys.

You invest in the cosmetic business, but what do you know about cosmetics?

To a person with a scar, is concealing the scar the most important thing?

Or is it more important to make the scar appear smooth?

You stick to covering the scars just to generate profits.

You have already been told that it is not possible

to make a product that conceals scars, so why are you still insisting?

Director Shen, were you trying to tell us what she just said?

Is what she saying right?

It's a complicated explanation,

so maybe we should just stop here today.

Be careful.

When something bad happens to a person,

what hurts her is not the scar on her face,

but the look of repulsion on other people's face.

So all this time, your philosophy on makeup has been wrong.

What we have to do is to not cover the scars

but change how people see scars.

Is that really how you think?

Shen Yi.

What's going on? How did it end up like this?

What Director Meng said is right and you guys already heard it.

My philosophy is the same as Director Meng's.

I will terminate the development of a scar-concealing foundation.

What?

Please don't worry.

LS is not closing its doors. Please trust me.

We are changing our research direction.

We want to make the scar smooth, not just conceal it.

Shen Yi, can I talk to you alone?

What's going on?

Shen Yi, you cannot always side with her.

Do you realize the consequence? We are not only talking about you.

Even your father has never acted so arrogantly in front of others.

My father has also never defended me in front of others.

Meng Hui, I think I've found my new goal in life.

As a CEO, I know my thinking is too ahead of the times.

It's normal that I am not understood.

Don't worry. I've thought through everything I said today.

I can take care of whatever happens to the company.

So don't worry, I'll resolve everything.

But you are the cause of the problem...

What did you say?

Nothing.

So you're saying Meng Hui made a mess at your stockholder meeting?

That's right.

And you didn't blame her but got convinced instead?

You also told everyone that's she the new Director Meng of LS?

How come I feel like you're blaming me?

Meng Hui bumped into the reason why you started making the liquid foundation.

Meng Hui was your start.

To be more accurate, she's just like Meng Hui.

A girl with a scar is your start.

That's right. I entered the cosmetics industry

and everything I did these years was for her

but I never thought of the meaning of using make up.

Using Meng Hui's words, I'm belittling this issue.

Just like how it was when I first started working on the eyebrow pencil proposal.

I think my career is lost right now.

It seems like I was busy all these years for no reason/

But your expression seems like you're relived.

It's because I've realized that my relationship with Meng Hui has become more and more clear.

I found the meaning of establishing LS Group.

Frankly, most people don't have an ideal occupation.

I'm a plastic surgeon. Some people come to me to change their face.

Others come for beauty treatments.

but these patients...

they can't be considered patients.

I never thought of the meaning beind plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery just helps people look beautiful.

But what if people,

are originally already beautiful?

Director Meng said that a liquid foundation that can cover scars

does not exist.

Because of your Director Meng's "heroic" attempt,

LS is now being attacked from all sides.

A risk of investors taking back their investments.

I don't think so.

Director Meng, don't you think because of you being naive

it allowed everyone to be a risk.

Isn't it too overboard?

Maybe for those who are incompetent, this is a dangerous situation,

but to everyone, it's a new start for LS.

That's right.

I think what Meng Hui said is right.

In the past, we misunderstood and misinterpreted the true meaning of beauty.

There's a different meaning from covering scars.

It's avoiding pain.

Director Shen, if you could lower your standards for the coverage of the foundation,

Our liquid foundation is already very amazing.

That's right.

Very good. From now on, everyone prepare for a new liquid foundation press conference.

If it can't cover scars then it can't

but I believe that we can make the most perfect liquid foundation.

I also have another idea I want to carry out. We can discuss it later.

Okay.

We'll have to trouble you guys then.

How long do you need to prepare for the press conference?

- Seven days.
- Seven days?

Or else give days?

Give days?

Work overtime and it'll be three days.

Three days?

- I thought it would take a long time.
- Me too.

Aren't we in a rush? We'll work hard.

We'll work hard.

Smack it a few times and it'll work!!!

Shen Yi.

Aren't your knees bad? Put on some pants.

I know how to print now.

I'm here. Get well.

I'm fine. I'll just watch here and learn from you.

Write a few more words.

Jiang Jiang.

Director Shen, you're back.

Let's take a look first.

Come on.

One, two, three. We got this!

Xiao Mei.

Is there any trouble with work recently?

There was but not anymore.

Is there really none? You can tell me. It's fine.

Even though Director Meng can't directly solve the problems

but she gives us a lot of inspiration.

Really?

Look at our product manager.

In order to bring his wife and children on vacation for ten days or so,

he's working very hard.

Okay. I'll give you guys a vacation after we're done with this.

Director Meng already gave us one.

- Call a taxi!
- Where are you going?

No, in the future, when employees go out

I will call them a car.

Xiao Mei, contact the dessert shop.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,

I will prepare afternoon tea for my employees.

Will the bill be split?

I'll pay.

That... go get busy.

I'm idle right now. I'll go do this.

You've worked hard, Director Shen.

You're raising all of us alone.

I'm going to work overtime now!

Okay!

On this planet, there is no one who is perfect without flaws

Because flaws in itself are a type of beauty.

But I think people who have these thoughts are perfect.
