Episode 9

Boss. Zhou Fang is here.

These are

some garments I newly designed,

already being sold on-line.

And this is

the introduction of my brand

and the planning for the future.

Do you know what you lack?

I don’t.

Chen Chen.

Take her to the Second Eastern Warehouse.

Go ahead.

OK.

Miss. Zhou. This way, please.

Miss. Zhou.

Since

the plagiarism incident last time,

our factory

has been heavily guarded.

Mr. Song hasn’t allowed

any outsider to come since then.

My boss always says

details matter the most.

Whatever

the price level is,

the quality

should be improved constantly.

This garment is quite good.

The texture is nice.

The pocket stitching

is good as well.

This garment

is average among the attire

of this season.

Let me show you over there.

You did it on purpose.

No wonder you asked me

to go to your warehouse.

What do you think?

I learned a lot,

and even got shocked.

That’s it.

Tell me about it.

The gap

is larger than I imagined.

No wonder

you always jeer at me

that I’m oblivious to the outside world.

If I

want to make progress,

I need to see and learn more,

improving

my own brand

so as to

catch up with

those excellent designers.

The brand

I showed you today

is a local brand

under my company,

which is very young.

Their designers

will join the competition as well.

You know the gap now?

Anyway, I have confidence now.

Do you?

Hadn’t I

seen my opponents,

I’d have no confidence.

But now

I have a target at least.

Leave aside

the design first.

I saw a finished garment

in your warehouse just now,

which is

average among your new products

for this season.

Although it is

an average garment,

its lining,

pockets,

the stitches

are finely made.

In comparison with your garments,

my skills are lousy.

Only with good skills

can the work be done well.

You are

too anxious

to make

your brand

be unique in the market.

That won’t do.

I’ve seen your works,

which are all gimmicks

without any inner value.

I hope you can get your teeth

into the design,

putting your attitude,

your capacity,

into your works.

Understand?

It’s harsh.

No, not at all.

Will you still join the competition?

Of course.

By what? This?

Go home and dream about it.

Alright.

I’ll consider

your advice.

I’ll take my leave.

Only with good skills

can the work be done well.

You are

too anxious

to make

your brand

be unique in the market.

That won’t do.

I’ve seen your works,

which are all gimmicks

without any inner value.

I hope you can get your teeth

into the design,

putting your attitude, your capacity,

into your works.

You come again?

Yes.

You got a new car. Good.

It’s my company’s car.

Oh, right. Qin Qing told me

you joined the competition.

Is it tiring?

Before your car maintenance

is done,

I’ll be your driver.

I’m in the competition.

But I just sighed up.

I don’t know if I can pass.

It’s fine. Just do your best.

Shall we go?

Alright. Let’s go.

Please.

Let me copy it when you finish.

Can’t you understand?

Of course I can’t.

Alright.

He looks so poor.

What

a fickle man.

What?

What did you say?

Shen Di. Did I

use the adjective right?

[Math Exercises]

Yes, it’s right.

Is it?

That's a math exercises book.

Is it right?

Right... My aunt

should be back at this hour.

Really?

Yeah.

I’m gonna check out.

Don’t you do your homework?

I’m hanging out.

She’s back.

So soon?

Who... Who is that man?

Man?

Well, do you know him?

No, I don’t.

She is in love,

yet she doesn’t tell me.

In love?

He isn’t her boyfriend.

How could you know?

How could I not know?

Shen Di.

Your aunt is back.

You may go home.

Alright. I’m leaving.

Bye.

Bye.

Leave the homework to me.

OK.

Go do your homework. Stop watching.

Go. Go.

Wait.

Aren’t you hanging out?

It’s late. I am not.

Yeah.

People have gone home.

No girls you can run into.

You...

I haven’t finished my homework.

Qin Qing.

Qin Qing.

Qin Qing.

I’m wrong. Don’t leave. OK?

Don’t follow me.

I know I did something wrong.

What did you do wrong?

All of it.

Anything you dislike

is wrong.

Since you don’t know

what you did wrong, let it go.

Tell me

what I did wrong. Qin Qing.

I...

Go away.

If you don’t love me anymore,

just run over me.

We can’t be together.

But...

Why can't we?

Qin Qing.

This is

the last garment

we show you.

If you like it,

you may place your order.

Thanks

for your support and love.

We’ll be live

at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

See you.

Kai.

Come here.

You’re back, Fang.

What's wrong?

Suspend all the costumes production

in the factory.

All of them?

Yes.

We’ll suffer

a huge loss of money.

Anyway,

those clothes are not many.

I’ll negotiate

with the factory.

Song Lin is right.

No quality if there’s no details.

I’m too anxious

and mislead everyone.

Go ahead.

OK. Got it.

Wait.

Take some garments

worn during the live streaming

to me.

Fang.

What do you have them for?

I’m gonna modify them. Go ahead.

[The garment looks good. Gonna place an order.]

Fang. Fang. Fang.

Hurry.

What are you doing?

What?

Live streaming will be banned if you strip.

Be banned? What do you mean?

The live streaming is still on.

It’s Mr. Song

who made

this good project possible.

He also proposed

many constructive suggestions.

You’ll be the sponsor definitely.

But to ensure

the diversity of the program,

the TV station discussed

and decided

to let Baisai Group

join in.

Since you said it’s decided,

we have no objection

on it.

Zuo.

Let’s talk about the program.

The audition

of the contestants

is over,

less than ten spots left.

The enrollment will end in three days.

Also,

you are all present today.

I think

we may talk about

how to make the program

more fun

in this meeting.

Speaking of fun,

I watched an interesting video

of a designer

just now.

What video?

Can you show us?

OK.

[The garment looks good. Gonna place an order.]

That’s common.

Nowadays, some young people

try to be famous by all means.

Zuo.

Check on this section.

Don’t let

these abnormal factors

lower the level of the program.

Modify a garment in five minutes.

The craftsmanship is unknown,

while the idea

of reusing old clothes is interesting.

What do you think, Mr. Song?

In the future,

we’ll meet more often.

Thanks for your care.

We've known each other for long. Right?

How long?

Seven or eight years.

That’s a long time.

You’ve been

taking extra care of me these days.

Each time

I settled

the trouble you made to me,

I drew a lesson.

I wonder what kind of lesson

you will teach me this time.

Mr. Song. You’re a good joker.

The same to you.

Although we’ve known each other

for years,

it’s the first time we work together.

Happy cooperation.

I'm looking forward to it, too.

What is it?

I heard that

Yuan Yiwei would join the program.

You got the news fast.

This is her dirty linen.

I used

many connections to get it.

And then?

It’s good

for both of us.

You want to expose her dirty linen.

You don’t need

my approval, do you?

Of course I don’t.

However,

I just want you know

that I respect your opinion.

Tracking and shooting secretly,

is it fun to do low-level hype

like this?

For many people,

the so called low-level hype

is a ladder to climb up.

You know the search volume of your program,

don't you?

Only the matter heats up,

can it keep hot.

All the efforts

you've made

for the program

can get attention.

It’s simple to understand.

Don’t you know it?

Your so-called

propaganda means

will get my program

deviate from

the original purpose.

If there’s no traffic,

not occupying

others’ time,

it will be pointless.

I hope

you can let go of your arrogance

and hear the response outside.

Then you’ll know

how well

my means works.

Since it works, you may

get credit from the TV station.

I just don’t want to

lose my own values

in front of

this filthy truth.

Filthy?

Mr. Song.

There are only

two kinds of relationships between people:

bound by affections

or interest.

I do hope

ours is the first one.

But,

don’t lose interest

due to

men's weird self-esteem.

After all, in my eyes,

you’re a rational businessman.

That’s right.

I’m a rational businessman.

So, please stop

all your moves right now.

I’ll use my expertise

to gain

the attention I deserve.

OK. I promise

when it’s done,

I’ll clarify

our relationship.

That way,

the program will get hot.

Your image

won’t be impaired either.

You are smart,

while it makes me

feel uncomfortable.

I’m trying

to be

as smart as you.

Come to me if anything.

I believe you will.

Zhou Fang is back.

Why does she go upstairs?

You should go back.

Now?

Is it convenient?

What about Song Lin then?

Song Lin... Song Lin can take care of

himself.

He can’t.

He is foolish.

Well,

should I go back now?

Go. Go. Hurry up.

Auntie. I’m back.

You're back.

I come, too.

Welcome.

OK. Done.

You’re awesome.

Piece of cake.

Hello, guys.

Hello, uncle.

Uncle?

This is my nephew, Shen Di.

I've heard a lot from Zhou Fang.

This girl is...

She’s my landlord's sister.

I’m her best friend.

Save it.

I have high requirements on my friend.

Input completed. Please open the door.

Door is closed.

Luoluo.

Luoluo.

Where should I put this?

Wait a second.

Is your hand hurt?

It's fine.

Shen Di.

Go get the band-aid

inside my nightstand

OK.

No. No. No need.

It got hurt just now.

I’m fine.

Where have you gone?

The TV is still on.

How could it be scratched?

I’m opposite you.

What are you doing?

Hurry up.

I’d let it go

if I hadn’t seen it.

But I see.

Why are you back so late?

Zhou Fang got a visitor.

I was curious

and went to chat.

How is the visitor like?

He’s excellent,

from a scholar family.

He’s well-educated.

Brother Chendong is amazing.

He got two master's degrees.

You just saw him once

and you called him brother.

I've raised you more than ten years,

yet you didn’t call me brother much.

He’s much younger than you.

Shouldn’t I call him brother?

By the way,

he told me a lot of tips

to learn English.

He said he’d tutor me when he's free.

I’m free at home, too.

Why not let me tutor you?

Do you have time?

Also, he is

humorous and patient,

not pulling rank on me

at all.

Not like you who always wear a long face.

This designer is good,

who graduated from London College of Fashion

and has his own studio.

Zuo.

The enrollment

is almost over.

But this guy

has been constantly applying.

We received her files

many times.

And

her files got updated each time.

[Talented Designer Competition Enrollment Form Zhou Fang]

Zhou Fang,

Isn’t she the one

who was hot on Internet days ago?

Did she apply?

Yes.

We’ve checked

the information of all applicants.

And her original brand

was set up not long ago.

Zuo.

I heard both Mr. Song and you

know her.

Yes.

But Mr. Song

has said

it should be fair and just.

Don’t do anything unfair.

Of course.

But she is

Mr. Song’s friend, after all.

I think she may

get the preferential treatment.

You may discuss about it

and tell me your decision.

OK.

Hello.

Mr. Su. You are right.

She applied.

OK.

I know.

Did you meet

Su Yushan’s assistant today?

I had a brief talk

with them.

They also mentioned Zhou Fang.

Su Yushan’s assistant

heard that Zhou Fang

is your friend,

and he cared about it a lot.

He said

Zhou Fang could

get preferential treatment.

It’s unable to be prevented.

What do you mean?

I wish Zhou Fang to fail the audition.

Why?

If she is selected,

our relationship

will be exposed very soon.

By then,

Zhou Fang will be thought

taking advantage of her connections.

Considering her temper, do you think

she will accept it?

People will gossip about.

At that time,

all her efforts,

her confidence,

will be ruined

by rumors and gossips.

You have point.

It isn’t the worst yet.

I’m afraid

Zhou Fang

is targeted by Su Yushan.

On that day,

it seemed Su Yushan

appreciated Zhou Fang.

They are interested

in her.

I don’t believe

Su Yushan

knew Zhou Fang

by that video.

You said she's targeted.

Do you mean she is used?

He meant to

use Zhou Fang to deal with you?

Mr. Song. Do you

have too much pressure

from work and get sensitive?

Look.

Zhou Fang and you

are neither family

nor lovers.

How come he uses her?

I do hope he doesn't use her.

Mr. Song.

You can always

hit the nail on the head.

But when it comes to Su Yushan,

you are muddleheaded.

You got me confused.

Did anything ever happen

between you

and Su Yushan?

Just some trivial matters,

but some unsolvable matters.

[Panel of Judges of Talented Designer]

Tang Jie. Youyou. Kai.

Come here.

Hurry.

Who has better luck among you?

I’ve never won at poker.

My hands stink.

I’m not good at it either.

Forget it. I’ll do it myself.

Not a big deal.

It's just a competition.

Yeah.

What would you like to eat?

[Ms. Zhou Fang, congratulations that you passed the audition of Talented Designer]

I passed.

You got drunk again. Right?

What are you doing?

Clap!

What?

I said you’d be wrong.

You used to

look down on me, right?

Through

my persistent

and relentless efforts,

finally,

I got the invitation

from your Wanfeng Group.

Isn’t it a surprise?

That’s a notice, not an invitation.

Alright.

Don't explain it.

I know you lose face.

I just want to tell you

not to

look down on anyone in this world.

It’s possible for anyone

to realize their dreams

and prove themselves.

What? Don’t you believe me?

Let me show you

the notice.

Lower your voice.

He sent it to me.

Luoluo is sleeping.

I just come to tell you

I made it. I passed.

OK.

I’m leaving. Bye.

Wait.

What? Aren’t you convinced?

Let’s hang out and enjoy the wind.

I’ve been blown by wind all the way.

Don't move.

Go.

Actually, when you said

I couldn’t do it,

I really thought

I couldn’t

and I wasn’t as good as others.

I thought it’s weird.

Did someone quit the competition?

Or you pitied me

and pulled strings?

Then I called

Nerd Three,

your assistant Zuo Yulin.

Once hearing his response,

I felt

reassured.

For a rookie like you,

it isn’t necessary for me

to violate my principles.

Am I a rookie?

You don’t understand.

They need

guys like me

who are down-to-earth and inspiring.

I wasn’t chosen

by these characteristics.

Because I am

hardworking.

Am I awesome?

I didn’t see that.

You're jealous.

Do you want me compliment you

to make you happy?

I don’t need that.

I am really awesome.

I am really awesome.

I am really, really,

really, really awesome.

Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang.

Do you really want to

join the competition?

Of course.

If I don't,

why did I

prepare so much?

Since you want to

join it so much,

I’ll make it clear to you in advance.

In this competition,

you may face

all kinds of problems.

You need to

be prepared mentally.

What problems?

My opponents are better than me?

That’s fine. I fear nothing.

Actually, I’m already very happy

being selected.

You passed the audition

because someone pulled strings,

but not me.

So, during the competition,

many weird things

may happen.

You should think about it first.

As your friend,

I’m supposed to stay out of it.

But I’ll feel sorry

if I pretend

I know nothing.

Who pulled strings for me?

This competition

isn’t only sponsored

by Wanfeng Group,

but also

by Baisai Group.

Baisai is Wanfeng’s old rival.

Does it have anything to do with me?

The boss of Baisai Group,

Su Yushan,

knew our relationship

somehow.

He was the one

who got you pass.

What is our relationship?

Why did he help me?

He isn’t helping you,

but using you. OK?

I don’t know

what he was up to, either.

I have no idea.

Forget it. Let's go home.

If it's true,

I’ll quit.

Leave the chance

to those who are qualified.

I don't deserve it.

This isn’t the way

to solve the problem.

Why do you

tell me this then?

[Talented Designer]

Morning, everyone.

Firstly, congratulate

that you passed the audition

and get into

the competition

of Talented Designer.

I am the director

of the competition.

First, I’ll announce

the advancement rules of the preliminary round.

The judges will score

the works made by

15 contestants

on site.

Then based on the rating,

five contestants will be eliminated.

On the theme

of vacation,

you may make the design

through your imagination.

When it begins,

please choose

no more than three fabrics

from the material area

for your design

within the limited time.

Finish your work within eight hours.

Good luck.

Countdown begins.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

[Talented Designer Costume Design Competition]

[EA TV]

[Talented Designer Costume Design Competition]

What is that designer doing?

Planning out

before starting off.

Interesting.

I’m looking forward to her work.

Thanks.

[Talented Designer Costume Design Competition]

Her brand is just set up.

The future is

uncertain.

But she reminds

of someone.

Don’t get influenced by me.

It’s just

my personal opinion.

If you

recognize her,

Mr. Song,

we will have to compete for her.

What takes you so long?

Zhou Fang’s competition

has kicked off.

I set off

once my work was done.

There’s an awful traffic jam.

How is Zhou Fang?

I don't know. Let's see later.

Qin Qing.

How is Zhou Fang?

She’s fine.

That’s good.

I have business. I gotta go.

Call me anytime.

Bye.

Isn’t he your boyfriend?

Not anymore.

What happened?

Don’t ask me.

Go to see Zhou Fang.

Excuse me.

You don't need these, right?

Yeah. These are scraps.

You want them?

Could you give them to me?

Yes.

Thanks.

Are you Zhou Fang?

Yes, I am.

You’ve chose for long.

You got this?

It isn’t done yet.

I appreciate you

that you concentrate

all your efforts on design.

Thank you, Mr. Su.

I am

just an unknown designer.

Unknown designer

is indeed distinct.

Alright. I won't bother you.

Take it easy. Good luck.

I think highly of you.

Thanks.

[Talented Designer]

Only one spot is left.

Why not announce it

on site?

Why discuss it so long?

Zhou Fang.

Are you familiar with Mr. Su?

I don’t know him.

He only talked to you.

How come he doesn't know you?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Director. Release the outcome.

Congratulations, Zhou Fang.

If it goes well,

you will get a lot to do

in the next two months.

No way.

All the people believe

my work is good.

Why does she advance?

One competition

doesn’t mean anything.

This spot must be reserved

for someone who has connections.

Connections?

What do you mean connections?

Should I say the name?

The works are right there.

All of us can see them.

Also, I’m not the only one

who has the thought.

If it’s determined by prowess,

given your skills,

how can you win?

If any objections,

you may complain

to the panel of judges.

Alright. Prepare yourselves

for the advancement competition.

You passed?

OK. Let's talk when I get back.

How was it? Did you pass?

Yes.

Look. I said

you’d make it.

Are you still unhappy?

I’m tired. I’m going back.

Do you need a drive?

I’m fine. I wanna be alone.

Just

leave her alone.
