[[BLEND FEELINGS: Episode 8]

Chairman Gu, what brings you here?

Why are you back ahead of time?

This job didn't really need half a month at all,

so I finished the inspection within just five days.

I thought if I stayed any longer,

it would just waste our company's money,

so I came back ahead of time.

Chairman Gu.

Why are you here to see me so late at night?

I'm just passing by.

You're just passing by again, huh?

Oh, by the way, Chairman Gu,

I brought you something.

What's going on?

He's here to see me in the middle of the night

just for this...

How... How many chillies did you eat?

I...

I just ate extra-spicy and extra-numbing food.

Water.

Oh! W-Water!

I-I-I'm sorry.

Chairman Gu, I've forgotten that

there's a rule in the 89 prohibitions

that you can't eat chillies. Right?

Well, I didn't know

that you would actually kiss me.

Why are you here to see me so late at night?

Do you have something to tell me?

Keep your doors and windows closed.

Go to bed early.

Alright. I got it.

Boss, this mysterious person was extremely cunning.

Our men split into two groups to chase him.

But he still managed to escape.

Boss.

Actually, when we gave up besieging the house,

we already missed our chance to catch him.

Are you questioning my decision?

No, I just feel it's such a pity for you.

He finally showed up.

Now that we've missed this opportunity,

I don't know when we'll be able to catch him in the act.

Stop talking about it.

Go back.

The product I've developed is called Glittering Stars & the Moon.

It has a fresh and clean aldehyde scent of soap,

which is as pure as bright moonlight.

With the coolness of patchouli,

it's like a cool breeze in the night.

And the agarwood

adds a mysterious essence to it.

So the overall tone of this perfume

is like a classical Chinese lady from the water towns of Jiangnan,

looking beautiful and elegant.

It really has a classical charm.

It gives me the feeling of a lady from a prominent family.

Did you also add cardamom and honeysuckle to it?

The scent has greater depth now.

Chairman Gu, regarding the quality of this perfume,

I can guarantee

there's absolutely no match for it in the market.

Well done.

Xiangxiang, you're really amazing.

Chairman Gu, where did you find such an elite?

You really have a discerning eye.

Chairman Gu.

Under Director Gu's request, this was made

by the renowned Singaporean perfumer, Shen Yifei.

It's called Attachment.

Shen Yifei doesn't create fragrances easily anymore.

I used my personal connections.

Only then did he do this favor.

Why are you laughing?

If Director Gu had paid over 10,000 yuan to Shen Yifei

to create this fragrance,

that would be totally not worth it.

What do you mean?

This fragrance called Attachment

has plagiarized at least three different perfume formulas,

including Innate from Japan,

1874 from Britain

and The Nun from Norway.

Now that you've mentioned it,

I can actually detect The Nun's scent.

But it's such a niche product.

Not many people in China know about it.

Jian Xiangxiang, you're talking nonsense!

Master Shen would never plagiarize others' works.

I've already stated my professional assessment.

Director Gu, if you insist on launching this product,

and it damages Yaoge Group's reputation,

are you willing to take full responsibility?

Go to the R&D Lab to figure out the formula and the ratios.

If it truly overlaps with these three fragrances,

destroy it immediately.

Okay, Chairman Gu.

Dismiss.

Chairman Gu.

Please wait a moment.

Chairman Gu.

I'd like to further optimize the formula for Glittering Stars & the Moon.

And I need a Benzoin fragrance.

But this fragrance is possessed by the collector, Li Nanguang.

I'd like to get his contact information

so that I can visit him.

Let me solve this problem.

Thank you, Chairman Gu.

Is there anything else?

I'd like to ask what you meant yesterday.

Yesterday?

What happened yesterday

was just a misunderstanding.

What?

A misunderstanding?

You kissed me for so long, and it was a misunderstanding?

What's going on? Are you trying to seduce my Uncle Jingshi?

It's none of your business.

Jian Xiangxiang.

I advise you to give up as soon as possible.

Uncle Jingshi

has a crush on this ideal woman.

She's a famous cellist.

Compared with her,

you're worthless.

No wonder it's so hard to win him over.

It turns out that he has unrequited love for an ideal woman.

At least, this scumbag told me some useful information.

That's right. I just want to pursue your Uncle Jingshi.

Regarding Chairman Gu,

whether it's about his appearance, ability or physique,

compared with him,

you're the one who's worthless.

Let me tell you.

Just wait to face the humiliation.

I found it. The cellist, Lin Yu,

has won many awards both domestically and internationally.

But she withdrew from the musical circle three years ago.

Some people say it was because of her hand injury,

while the others say she has married into a wealthy family.

Anyway, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

Cello.

Cello.

Oh, right.

I remember you also learned to play the cello when you were a kid.

Even Heaven is helping you.

Finally, there's something that the boss might admire.

This is the first time that I've seen him smile so tenderly.

I was wondering why you still couldn't win over Gu Jingshi

with all your previous efforts.

It turns out that he has a crush on this ideal woman.

For men,

are those unattainable ideal women really irreplaceable?

Psychologically, there's an effect

called the Zeigarnik Effect,

which means that people tend to more vividly remember

or be unable to forget things

that were suddenly interrupted

or left unfinished.

This effect

also applies to relationships.

In short,

what we can't get is the most precious.

Then what should I do?

That's not difficult at all, is it?

Be a substitute. Then you'll succeed.

No. Being a substitute is usually painful both physically and emotionally.

No risk, no gain.

What if the boss is attracted?

I know how to win over Gu Jingshi now.

How?

Have you heard of being a substitute?

Gu Jingshi eats at this restaurant every Friday.

He sits in this spot every time.

So?

So this is my perfect opportunity to make a good impression.

He must be captivated by me.

How dare you show off such amateur skills?

I'm supposed to play along, but I'm just ignoring it.

He's leaving.

Chase him!

You're about to succeed!

Chairman Gu!

I want to explain what just happened.

It was not like what you thought.

Jian Xiangxiang.

You've really amazed me this time.

You put on such a good show in front of me.

It looks like

you know a lot about my past.

I don't know that much.

Just...

a... a little bit.

What?

You want to be my woman?

Do you know what I hate the most?

Don't play tricks in front of me.

And don't try to imitate her.

Jingshi, Dad has fainted. Come back now.

I'll come back at once.

Chairman Gu.

Where are you going? Let me take you there.

Let's go.
