The Sweet Girl Season 1

Episode 5

Argh man!

Never mind it's frustrating to stay here,

I can't even make money.

After he took half a month's salary from me,

I have only 7 silver dollars left.

Even if I don't charge you the medical consultation fee,

it'll still cost you at least 15 silver dollars a month.

It's almost time to buy another dose,

but I still don't have enough money for Ms. Li's medicine.

Ms. Zhang,

the second madam's upper outer garment is finished,

but the thin silk skirt needs

several more stitches for the flower embroideries.

I'm afraid we need you to deliver again tomorrow.

I guess you'll have to keep it for a few days.

After I deliver this one,

I'll quit.

Why do you quit this job so suddenly, Ms. Zhang?

You've found a new employer?

No.

My daughter-in-law is giving birth to a baby.

So I need a not-so-busy job.

Many people are hiring lately.

You can try too.

Don't banter with me, Ms. Zhang.

But I'm pretty happy working here.

Manager Lu.

Ms. Zhang,

um,

where are all the recruitment places?

How well do they pay?

They're at the corner of the east of the city.

And they all pay well.

But,

the Jincheng Tailor Shop offers

the highest salary.

Ms. Zhang, come here.

Please write down

the name of "Jincheng."

Mr. Jin,

your business is going quite well.

It's said to be surpassing the Colorful Silk Workshop.

It's far from being true.

Thanks to last month's promotion,

I barely caught up with the Colorful Silk Workshop.

In fact, I haven't made much money out of it.

My husband knew your difficulties.

As you see, he sent me to you

to help you out.

If the Colorful Silk Workshop acquires Jincheng,

not only will you make money, Mr. Jin,

you will also save yourself from all the worries.

But,

Jincheng is my ancestral business.

Mrs. Qin, I'm afraid...

Mr. Jin,

you'd better think about it.

Right now, the merger of Jincheng into the Colorful Silk Workshop

is the best option.

Anyone here?

I'm looking for employment.

Please wait, Mrs. Qin.

I'll be right back.

Aren't you Manager Lu?

You are here for a job interview?

Yes, I am.

Why do you quit your current job, Manager Lu?

Well...

It's about salary?

It won't be a problem if it's about the money.

Are you okay, madam?

Manager Lu, the salary here is the best one

at Colorful Cloud Town,

only second to the Qin family's Colorful Silk Workshop.

But the Qin family never recruits outsiders.

If you want them to hire you,

you'll need a recommendation letter.

So,

Manager Lu, now you want to...

Um,

what is a recommendation letter?

A recommendation letter

is a letter that is written by a person with a high status

or someone with a strong relationship

with the Colorful Silk Workshop.

Well, Manager Lu,

without this kind of relationship,

you can never get hired by the Colorful Silk Workshop.

Only Jincheng is the most suitable for you.

Why are you still hesitating?

Then I'll come to work tomorrow.

You're such a decisive person!

So, tomorrow, Manager Lu,

don't forget to bring your resignation letter

with the Cloud Fashion Workshop.

After all the formalities,

you can start working immediately.

Resignation letter?

Go and see what's going on outside.

Don't let it complicate.

Yes.

It's done, Mr. Jin?

Yes, it is.

I've got a job,

but how can I get this resignation letter?

It takes so much work to fatten my wallet.

Where's my wallet?

Did I drop it in the tailor shop?

Mr. Jin,

you really don't want to give more thoughts to it?

If you struggle so hard

and refuse to work with the Colorful Silk Workshop,

you'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Thank you and Mr. Qin for this nice offer.

But I'm really not planning

to sell my forefather's business.

Otherwise, I'm afraid

I'll be too ashamed to face my ancestors when the time comes.

Then I'll have to remind you, Mr. Jin.

If you break the order of the chamber of commerce again,

I'll not spare you for our friendship

and resort to punishment accordingly.

Absolutely.

See you, Mrs. Qin.

Are you blind?

Sorry. Sorry.

I finally found you.

Did...

Did I see...

Madam,

it's not Lu Yiling's ghost

coming back for vengeance, right?

It's impossible.

How can a ghost wander around in daylight?

But...

Tell those responsible for this to investigate it

and then report it to me.

Yes.

Manager Lu,

Manager Lu,

Mr. Pei from Haicheng is here.

Alright.

You see him yourself.

I'm not interested.

Mr. Pei came to see you.

What?

Miss Lu.

Mr. Pei,

what are you doing here?

I wonder if you have time to teach me

how to make clothes.

God helped me.

Here came my ghostwriter.

Yes, I am.

Mr. Pei,

Mr. Pei, take a seat please.

Come on.

Here, take a seat.

This is...

I see.

This is your new fashion design.

It's an accidental mistake.

Just an accidental mistake.

Your hand got injured?

Just a minor injury.

Give me your hand.

No need.

I've applied medicine to it.

This is the medicine I brought from Haicheng,

very good for pain killing and subsidence of a swelling.

Then I'll apply it myself.

It'd be better if I do it.

Why don't you take care of yourself?

A girl's hand is very precious.

And you're even in the handcraft trade.

Thank you, Mr. Pei.

You keep it.

Sorry for the abrupt visit.

Since you're injured in the hand,

I'll bother you again another day.

W-Wait!

Mr. Pei, um...

Look at me.

My hand is in inconvenience.

So,

can you help me write something?

It would be disrespectful to refuse.

It would be disrespectful to what?

What would you like me to write, Miss Lu?

Resignation letter.

Resignation letter?

The Cloud Fashion Workshop is very promising.

I wonder why you would like to

give up this job.

Actually...

one can't always stay in the comfort zone.

We need to challenge more possibilities.

Don't you think so?

What a little liar!

That makes sense.

OK.

Then I'll help you write this resignation letter.

But you have to promise me something.

Even if you don't work for the Cloud Fashion Workshop in the future,

you still have to work with me every day

to make ceremonial dresses for my mother.

How about that?

No big deal!

I accept.

Mr. Pei, please.

Sir,

it's said that Miss Qiao made things difficult for Manager Lu

and punished her with a ferule.

How unexpected Manager Lu

would get in such a situation!

How rare this is!

With her suffering the punishment, sir,

why don't you take the chance to

care about her?

This woman already

wants me so badly.

Do I still need to curry favor with her?

That being said,

you still haven't gotten the Book of Cloud Fashion.

Alright,

you just bring her some medicine.

Don't worry.

This woman

has already been enchanted

by my charm.

She won't hold any other thought.

Mr. Luo, are you here?

You heard that?

She's throwing herself to me so soon.

Come on in.

Mr. Luo, I have a...

You don't have to say anything.

I know what you're doing.

Great.

Then I don't need to waste my breath.

So, Mr. Luo,

please sign your name

on this paper.

What is this?

Resignation letter?

Here you are, Mr. Luo.

Please sign it.

Are you protesting that I deducted half of your salary?

You deducted half of my monthly salary?

Are you mad at me for this?

Yes.

What is this about, Luo Yinran?

Name it.

What do you want?

What do you mean?

I have a real estate property on the West Street.

Now I give it to you.

It's said that a jewelry shop

has a very expensive cornflower sapphire necklace

available.

It's yours now.

You're trying to keep me?

What?

Those are not enough?

The Cloud Fashion Workshop is very promising.

I wonder

why you would like to give up this job.

Everybody praises the Cloud Fashion Workshop so highly,

and he's telling me to name my conditions.

I think I can make more here

than in the Jincheng Tailor Shop.

Name it.

Do you want a raise or a promotion?

Just tell me.

A raise!

I want only a raise.

I want 18 silver dollars every month.

It's for the money indeed.

What an insatiable woman!

Is it too high?

Maybe I should lower it?

For the sake of your sincerity to keep me,

I'll say

I want my monthly salary to be...

-16... -No problem!

He said yes so readily?

I should have said more.

I'll give you whatever you want,

but as for what I want,

you should know what it is.

I hope you won't let me down again.

I don't know it.

But I'll get 16 silver dollars every month.

That's enough.

After paying for Ms. Li's medicine,

I'll have some extra.

I'll have one extra silver dollar

than working for that silly tailor shop.

Nice.

Nice.

Have you gotten any news?

Those people said

Lu Yiling's body went missing.

What?

They said

Lu Yiling's body

was thrown into the wild,

but wild animals come and go there often.

Maybe she was eaten by them.

It's impossible.

What have we seen today?

Lu Yiling must have survived and come back.

Then Lu Yiling knew

we tried to kill her?

But why did she

intentionally bump into us?

Is she back for vengeance?

Lu Yiling's behaviors are weird.

It's really inexplicable.

Go and have a look

if she's back to the Cloud Fashion Workshop.

What if she is?

Try to bring her here.

That's easy.

A girl like Manager Lu

is obviously in want of a sense of security.

What do you mean?

A fat boy

doesn't get fat with a mouthful of food.

Likewise,

you can't win a woman's heart with a handful of attempts.

This time, let's go big.

Show her your sincerity.

Make her feel that you can give her a sense of security.

You're sure this will work?

It works apparently.

Can you see?

There's

nothing I can't do about dealing with women.

Jiu'er.

Agui.

I can't give much this month.

Come again ten days later.

I'll give you another tip I earn.

Jiu'er, are you okay in there?

No one suspects you, right?

I'm fine,

except that I'm always worried that the killer

will find it out.

It scares me all the time.

Well, maybe you should go somewhere else.

What if that Lu Yiling comes back?

I've finally gotten a clear picture.

This place is hell on earth.

And that Luo Yinran is the king of hell there.

Other people all avoid him.

Lu Yiling isn't stupid.

Why would she come back to this kind of place?

If that's such a dangerous place,

you should go somewhere else all the more.

Look how timid you are!

Who are we?

Superflash!

Moreover,

I still haven't found

a new employer who would pay me more yet.

Besides, right here,

I can learn a lot of things.

Don't worry about me.

Just take care of Ms. Li and home.

Then you must be careful.

I'll be on my way now.

Go ahead.

Take good care of yourself.

Who's this?

Put me down.

Let go of me.

Who dared kidnap a heroine

like me?

You people are...

You want me to examine the clothes at late night?

So cute.

This looks like something for a four-year-old.

Why are they getting bigger?

Looks great.

It's you?

All this is...

Happy birthday.

All the clothes you saw just now

are the gifts I specially prepared

for the first to the 18th birthdays of yours.

I hope that with this special way,

I can make up for all your birthdays

I missed in your life.

I hope that in your future

with me around,

I can always share

the joy of your birthdays.

I didn't expect that

he can be so romantic!

I hope that in each of

your future birthdays,

I can be there with you.

Zhenyu, faster!

-Quickly. -OK!

Now,

you should know

my passion for you.

Then stop this fuss.

And give me

the Book of Cloud Fashion.

You...

Please stop asking me for that thing.

I...

I really don't have it.

Is that enough, Mr. Su?

Let's go! Come on.

What...

Why did Manager Lu leave?

What did you say to her?

Sir,

how was it?

I think

she's breaking her promise.

Breaking a promise?

Breaking a promise?

What's the promise?

I...

What?

The huge business just vanished into the thin air?

What do you people do for a living?

Sir,

after they visited the Cloud Fashion Workshop once,

th-they just changed their mind out of the blue.

We tried all the carrot and stick measures,

but they'd still prefer to sacrifice the earnest money to cancel the order.

We're really at our wit's end, sir.

Cloud Fashion Workshop...

It's Luo Yinran again.

I think he planned this.

Alright.

You can leave now.

Yes, sir.

Honey,

if this goes on,

one day,

Luo Yinran will crush us.

You need to have a countermeasure.

Oh, honey,

how is it going with

the Lu Yiling matter?

Don't worry.

Lu Yiling is now a useless pawn.

I'll certainly clean her up.

I was planning to use her

to steal the first volume of the Book of Cloud Fashion.

But now she became useless.

I don't think we can get that

in the near future.

In a short period of time,

we can't suppress Luo Yinran.

Forget it.

I offended him openly yesterday.

I'd better

avoid him.

Manager Lu,

do you think this one is suitable for embroidery or tie-dye?

Both sound good to me.

Maybe you can do both.

Isn't that a little too fancy?

Too fancy?

Then go for embroidery.

But the customer set a very tight delivery date,

and embroidery will take too much time.

Then tie dye!

How tricky is that?

But

this batch...

Manager Lu,

a customer ordered a batch of ready-made garments

and wanted you to deliver them.

OK.

I'll deliver them now.

Deputy Manager Bai,

you can do however you see fit.

Isn't it near here?

Why isn't there...

It's the same as what's on the tag.

This should be it.

Anyone here?

Anyone here?

Manager Lu?

Yes.

I came to deliver the clothes.

Please come in.

My lady master is waiting for you inside.

OK.

Madam.

I came from the Cloud Fashion Workshop to deliver the clothes.

Yiling, it's been a while.

Hello, madam.

It's been such a long time.

Why don't you come back to visit the Colorful Silk Workshop?

Colorful Silk Workshop?

Is she the lady master of the Qin family?

I can take this chance

to befriend the Colorful Silk Workshop.

Mrs. Qin, don't get this wrong.

I'm at the Cloud Fashion Workshop,

but my heart is always with the Colorful Silk Workshop.

Really?

Yes, yes.

Absolutely.

It doesn't seem

she knows I sent people to assassinate her.

I just wonder if you

would like to give me the chance

to go to the Colorful Silk Workshop.

I told you long ago.

As long as you get the Book of Cloud Fashion,

Colorful Silk Workshop always welcomes you.

Book of Cloud Fashion?

Why does everyone want the Book of Cloud Fashion?

It just takes the Book of Cloud Fashion.

If I get it,

madam,

I can then go to the Colorful Silk Workshop?

You sound like

you have a way to get it.

As long as you give me this chance, madam,

I can do anything

for you.

I was planning to use her

to steal the first volume of Book of Cloud Fashion.

But now she became useless.

I don't think

we can get that.

In a short period of time,

we can't suppress Luo Yinran.

OK. I'll give you another chance.

I hope you won't let me down this time.

Thank you, madam.

Rest assured, madam.

Thank you, madam.

Then I'll be on my way.

Madam,

you're really going to let her go just like that?

It's the critical moment of the competition.

If she really can

steal the Book of Cloud Fashion from Luo Yinran,

it's not a bad idea

to let her live for now.

The Qin family is generous indeed.

They'd tip me with so much just for delivery.

But what on earth is that Book of Cloud Fashion?

It sounds like really a book.

I'll tell Chen Agui to look for it later.

Let go of my daughter!

Let go of my daughter!

-Let her go! -Dad!

Let her go!

Let go of my daughter!

Let me go.

Mr. Qin! Mr. Qin!

Mr. Qin!

Dad!

I beg of you.

Dad!

Let my daughter go!

I just have this one daughter.

Let her go.

Old man,

are you so ungrateful?

Mr. Qin, I beg of you.

It's really lucky for a worthless man like you that

I like your daughter!

Mr. Qin!

No matter what I say,

you just won't accept it.

Let my daughter go!

Then don't blame me for being rude.

Dad!

I'll kill you!

Come back.

-Sweetheart! -Dad!

You're so ungrateful!

Who? Who?

Who?

Who did this?

Come out!

You daring desperado!

Come out!

He deserves it.

Good hits!

I was wondering who the heck dared do this.

It's just Manager Lu!

I was wondering who dared abduct a girl

in broad daylight.

It turns out to be an animal

out of nowhere,

an animal with a pot lid!

You!

Get her!

Yes!

Run!

Run!

Hurry!

This kind of move!

It's Superflash!

It seemed so.

Superflash is here!

Superflash?

You think you can take down a heroine like me?

How naive!

I almost forgot about him.

Mr. Pei,

I'm sorry, Mr. Pei.

I was caught in something on the way.

Have I kept you waiting for too long?

It's never too long

if it's Miss Lu that I'm waiting for.

This...

You drew this?

I thought you don't know about this stuff.

This is my first attempt.

Amazing!

You've done so well on the first attempt.

But I just won't feel satisfied

about the collar in any attempt.

How about you add something on for me, Miss Lu?

Come on.

Collar...

What do you think about this?
