[Once Given Never Forgotten Ep16]

Check out the hats.

Hi, wanna buy a hat?

Looks great.

Like it is

custom-made for you.

Get it.

Thanks.

How much is it?

30 yuan for you.

How about 20?

Forget it then.

Get out of here, I'm not selling.

Forget it.

You're looking for a beret?

This one is not so nice.

There's a shop over there with so many colors.

And it's only 18 yuan.

Have we met before/

You look familiar to me too.

So you said there's another shop.

I'll check it out.

Let's go.

Wait, come back.

20 you say? You can have it for 20.

Well.

This is ripped here.

What about 10 yuan?

You can have it, alright?

I'm losing money here.

Thanks for being there in time.

Otherwise I couldn't have

got such a great deal.

You were flexible too.

Our combo was amazing.

I'm so thankful.

How should I repay you?

Don't worry about it.

This is my return of the bun.

The bun.

You remember?

Of course I do.

Here, have it.

I thought you were...

Homeless.

I was used to that.

Facing the screen every day

can make you forget about your appearance.

I thought you were

doing some performance art.

Let me reintroduce myself.

Lianxin, from Business School.

Ye Mutao, from CS School.

You can all me Mutao.

Mutao.

Computer Science.

So that is your major.

I thought you were simply addicted

since you said you face the screen every day.

Oh yeah.

I'm running a website

and I'm having some problems.

Ok, show me.

Lianxin, I'm hungry.

Go ahead, dig in the fridge.

Lianxin, check this out...

Who are you?

That is my line.

Here you are.

Boyfriend?

No.

So just friend.

He's a pianist.

He's such a star

that loads of girls are after him.

I was thinking

you had really long fingers.

Great timing.

We're hungry.

What are you doing?

Homework.

Mutao is helping me with the website.

Are you still working

at the Florist?

The pay's slim and the boss boring.

I have to finish what I started.

I'm doing great with the website.

I don't feel like quitting.

You're so amateurish.

If you'd asked

sooner, it would look so much better now.

Right.

The genius can just develop a game

and plant the Florist ad in there.

And it's done.

Why do I hear the sarcasm?

Are you jealous?

You can learn to do this too.

Then you will be able to

stay with Lianxin.

Alright, stop that, you two.

You just met.

Are you done?

I still can't access it.

You?

Me neither.

I knew it!

Do your job, please.

Let me do it.

I'll adjust the portal.

One sec.

So tired.

[Six years later]

Today's rain

is a bit warm.

Because this is a shower

with the sun in the sky.

The rain

drops on the lawn

and turns into water beads on the leaves.

And they shine under the sunshine.

Sorry.

Lianxin.

Let's see,

you can't bad-mouth me.

Am I that evil in your mind?

Don't remember?

Who used to do whatever she likes

and say whatever she wants?

Chen Qi, what are you doing?

Let her in.

Coming.

You must be Ms. Su.

I'm Lianxin.

Hello.

Chen Qi talks so much about you.

Nice to finally meet you.

You hungry? I'll warm up the food.

Ok.

Let me.

You go keep her company.

Thank you for doing this.

I feel so old seeing you.

Be content.

You actually found someone

to marry you.

You don't understand.

Now that I'm famous,

all these

hot models

are obsessed with me.

Cut it out.

I think Ms. Su is great.

A girl would know.

Well,

not so many people in this world

are good enough for you.

But I'm one of them.

You're one talker.

Lunch's ready.

Thank you.

Chen Qi said these are your favorites.

I looked up the recipes and made them.

Try.

Ok.

How is it?

Amazing.

She's the perfect wife.

Ms. Su,

if Chen Qi is ever rude to you,

I got your back.

No problem.

What?

How come you two are teaming up?

Lianxin, you're on my side.

Good?

- Here. - So good.

When in Spain, all I had was bread.

And the Chinese restaurants weren't so good.

If you were to open a restaurant,

it would be so popular.

What a smooth talker.

Well,

food safety is such a big issue.

I have to learn to cook

as I can't let the baby

eat takeaway.

Are you having a baby?

Am I gonna be an aunt?

Not yet, we plan to.

You can be a grandma

for how noisy you are.

How dare you!

Eat plenty.

See.

Here, Ms. Su.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

Ms. Su.

Chen Qi told me

you are an editor?

He's the busy one in the family.

I can be the idle one.

Can I reserve a page in your magazine?

No problem.

It will be full of your anecdotes.

Wait, no bad-mouthing.

Lianxin, you should

walk around every now and then

or your back would suffer.

I tend to forget the time

when I sit in front of the screen.

There's so much on my hands too.

A girl should

pamper herself.

That's why I will never

take a photo of her from behind.

Won't be good.

Yes, I know.

Mr. Chen

only takes one person's photo from behind.

Who?

It's getting late, I should go.

I have some proposals to look at.

Can't you stay for the night?

No, I have deadlines to meet.

Chen Qi, please see her out.

Ok.

See you.

Bye.

Why are you staring?

I didn't mean it.

I know.

Does Ms. Su

know about that?

It's in the past.

There's no need to

upset her.

How long are your staying?

The business is stable

in Spain.

I'm back

to open the domestic market.

The website is still developing,

so I'll be around for a while.

I'm counting on you to look after me.

Cut it out.

Can't believe

that little girl

is now a CEO.

It feels like yesterday when you ran away

from home.

Mutao, I decided to go to Shangri-La after all.

Xiang Yuqiu, where you are is my home.

Are you still waiting for me?

The Marketing department

made a report on the furniture market of the past ten years.

Anything you want to say to me?

What?

Amazing outfit.

You.

Ms. Lian, a client called

asking to see you

this afternoon.

Ok, confirm the time and place.

Ok.

Ms. Lian, these are the

shortlisted designers.

You want to see it?

I'm meeting with a client, talk later.

Ok.

Please sit down.

Next is the Q&A session.

We welcome questions from the press.

This series themed "Dream of the Great Land",

is it your own idea?

Well,

it mainly came from my own inspiration.

But we have a team of designers

and they contributed a lot as well.

So I'd say it's teamwork.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The Great Land is nature.

The dream is in our minds.

With this series,

we hope to combine

the humane spirit

with nature

and convey it to our customers.

Apart from the designers,

there is someone I'd like to thank.

She's been with me all these years

and witnessed Ingenuity

grow from a small workshop

to a brand that is

recognized by the industry.

That person is Tang Shi, our

Operation Director.

Mr. Xiang,

rumors say that Ms. Tang is your girlfriend,

is that true?

We're just friends.

Thank you.

Mr. Xiang,

does Ingenuity plan on working with online platforms?

Not yet.

Thank you.

Master Xiang, admiring your own work again?

Check out the financial report.

We performed strongly.

You're best at this.

I have one little piece of advice.

Can you work on

your personality?

Attend some more cocktail parties

and connect with other designers.

This way, we’ll have

a bigger chance of making the judges for Golden Nest Design Awards.

This would be a great

advantage for us.

I can't.

I hate the hypocrisy

at the cocktail parties.

I'd also like to avoid

the press conferences as much as possible.

You don't like hypocrisy,

but you gotta appreciate the sincerity.

A customer likes The Angel's Wings.

Will you sell?

No.

Why not?

I can sell anything

but that piece.

I said when I won the prize,

it's one of a kind, no mass production.

Fine, you gotta give me a reason

so I can explain to the customer.

Just say...

No reason. Not for sale.

You're getting more willful by the day.

Running to Shangri-La without telling anyone,

and now turning down customers.

What are you thinking?

I had my reasons for going to Shangri-La.

I can't create behind closed doors.

Fine, that aside,

what do you think about

working with a website?

This is the era of digital marketing.

It would be a plus

for our sales.

We'll see.

You're still here?

Mr. Hong is in a traffic jam.

It will take a while.

It's ok, I'll wait.

Can you come back another time?

You set the time.

And I'm not idle either.

Sorry

for keeping you waiting.

That's ok.

I cleared the afternoon up for you.

Glad to see you again.

Lianxin, right?

We met at the "Chinese People in Spain" New Year Gala two years ago.

You are...

You remember now.

I didn't even let you speak, hope you're

not holding a grudge.

Starting a business is hard.

I thank you for the lesson.

Let's start then.

Ok.

I'm very interested in Beloved.

As the first Home shopping

platform in China,

you have a great business idea

and a bright future.

It's worth investing in.

However...

Yes?

As far as I know,

Beloved

is doing well in Spain

and has earned a good reputation in the industry.

But you're just starting in China.

We're concerned about

your immature market planning.

That's true.

But what's also true is that

I will work twice as hard in China

as I did in Spain.

Online shopping is very sophisticated

in China.

But there aren't many Home brands.

Let alone famous ones.

Mainly due to

logistic difficulties.

But that is

exactly where we do well.

I trust you.

Within two years, you proved

I was wrong about you.

So you're saying...

I suggest that

you sign some well-known designers.

Especially the ones that are buzzing

right now in China.

After all, this is a new platform.

With the big names,

you'd have the guarantee.

We've actually been

thinking about that.

At the moment,

we're shortlisting designers.

Once finalized,

we'll engage in negotiation.

I'll wait for your good news then.

My assistant will draft a contract

and send it to you.

Thank you so much.

Hope we can

collaborate this time.

Nice working with you.

Nice working with you.

[Outpatient Department]

What happened?

Doing justice.

Slow down.

Why were you in a fight?

A guy parked in between

two parking spaces.

And he was rude to an old lady.

So I gave him a kick.

But I missed.

I never know you're so righteous.

You don't know me then.

You didn't give me the chance.

How's the car?

You're worried more about the car than me?

No, no.

I'll drive.

You can rest.

How is Xiang Yuqiu?

Same old.

When will he get married?

He's not getting any younger.

Even an artist needs a family.

Marriage?

Let me tell you,

the artists prefer

a free lifestyle.

What about Miss Tang?

His partner.

Can't remember her name.

They've been together for years.

Time to get married.

Marriage doesn't necessarily mean happiness.

And being single doesn't necessarily mean pain.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

You know what they say.

Love begins with attraction.

And marriage dies with control.

Are you happy now?

Can you leave me out of these social events?

Please?

I know you hate them.

I'll go by myself next time.

What did you say at lunch?

I couldn't hear you.

iShang ordered

a batch from us last year

and it sold very well.

Top of the country. They want another order.

Just sign the contract.

I think they want to

sign you as their own designer

and join the platform.

What do you think?

A contracted designer?

Selling myself to them?

Don't say that.

Just make iShang our exclusive agency.

In this day and age,

everything needs exposure.

We have the talents,

all we need is some exposure.

I prefer the traditional way.

The promotion

is just nonsense.

Geez.

Can you try to

keep up with the time please.

Hear this.

They're doing a special event

called Home Baby.

Doing photoshoots

for the brands with the top models

and display on the home page.

It's working great.

So you're saying

a bunch of provocatively dressed

models will stand next to our products.

Is it appropriate?

Yes.

It is gimmicky.

But they're doing well.

Plus,

as the most well-established home website,

they're very sincere.

And shows 100% respect for your design.

Let me think about it.

Respect is not about what they say.

At least I don't see

their taste so far.

Talk about it later.

Chen Qi.

Who is it?

Me.

You here for the money or the beauty?

Do you have either?

Why are you looking for me at this hour?

Your phone is off.

Su Xiao said you're here.

Fighting again?

No, no.

Why are you sleeping here then?

Who said one should always sleep at home.

This is my hobby.

Talk normal

or I'll go.

Wait.

Since you're here, stay with me.

Get out.

I'm here to deliver this.

What?

Invitation.

[Invitation]

Not going.

Chen Qi, you're such a

stuck-up now.

Not even coming to my event?

You're aiming for Huayu Media, right?

You want them to promote for you.

Not me, it's Tang Shi's idea.

Tang Shi?

I thought she did well at Huayu.

She quitted long ago.

Probably doesn't want to bother anyone.

Why didn't she come?

You should ask her.

You two still in a fight?

Fight? Who's fighting with her?

She's the one keeping distance

ever since I got married.

Then you be proactive.

No, I can't.

Dear Miss Lianxin,

Ever since we met at the Exhibition,

I've missed you.

Let the flowers speak for me.

This Mr. Lu is so cheesy

with flowers and the confession.

I heard

the older men are in trend these days.

You took the flowers for me,

are you gonna go on the date too?

Please.

I'm into hot, young guys.

Oh,

how's the cocktail auction?

Are we going?

Not confirmed yet.

How about leveraging

this gentleman?

So far it's just his decision.

If I were to use him,

then it'd be complicated.

What about that thing?

Oh.

My friend said

his boss has an exhibition today.

Why?

Why are you always here

whenever I come?

Are you stuck to the desk?

I got ideas.

Alright,

think about your health too.

You forgot what the doctor said?

My hand is fine.

You can't be too careful.

Okay, just eat.

Quick.

I'm not hungry.

You should eat anyway.

You go first.

What?

Setting meal alarm for you.

If you don't eat properly, you'll end up like me.

Stomachache every day.

Make your choice.

How about this.

It's the weekend.

Stop drawing.

Let's go to the furniture exhibition

on Middle Huaihai Road.

I've seen that one.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was in

the neighborhood.

I don't care.

Come with me.

Care about your employee, please?

Okay.

Let me finish and we'll go.

Go.

What's going on? Move!

Sir, is there another way to go?

Look at the traffic.

There's no other way.

Here.

You getting off?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sorry, sorry.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

I'm in a huge hurry

and the car's stuck.

I'm only two blocks away.

Can you give me a ride?

I'm delivering food,

no passengers.

Look,

I'll order 30 meal boxes,

the most expensive one.

Please deliver to my office.

It's not about that...

Let's go.

Please pay in advance.

No problem.

Thanks.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm very interested in

these pieces...

Please check over there.

Okay.

Hi, Mr. Lin.

I'm Lianxin, founder of Beloved.

We spoke over email.

What do you need?

I'd like to talk

about the eligibility of the party.

Check this out.

Turn it, turn it.

It's for kids.

You're a kid.

I made it clear in the email.

What you said was the usual scenario.

But

Beloved is

rather different.

That's why I think

it's not so fair.

Look,

you can send me

a development plan and

a work portfolio of your firm.

I'll pass them along for you.

That's great, thank you.

I'll send them over soon.

I'll pass them along

but I can't promise anything.

Thank you

so much.

Hi, Mr. Xiang.

What a coincidence, you're here too.

I know.

I was gonna contact you regarding our collaboration,

why don't we just do it today?

Sorry, I have plans later.

Let's take a rain check.

Sorry.

Let's take a rain check.

Sorry for your trouble.

Bye.

You set me up.

It's good for the company.

What do you mean setting you up?

Don't do it again. Let's go.

I'm hungry, let's go eating.

I got work to do.

Today's my birthday.

Your birthday?

Still mad?

You don't deserve it.

Let's do it properly then.

Look how ugly this one is.

I can see the dark eye circles and the double chin.

What?

Pose for me.

I'll take some good photos.

Who asked you?

Look.

I have a great idea

about making this black and white poster collection.

You don't get great ideas that often.

Hold my bag.

Okay, look here.

Over here.

Great.

Turn around.

Your back is not as nice.

Come on.

Got the report.

Everything alright?

Doctor said

I'm ready for pregnancy.

But I shouldn't wait.

Alarm for what?

Nothing. It's dinner time.

Where are we going?

You'll see.
