[The Master of Cheongsam]

[Episode 35]

The Seamless Stitch!

Sounds interesting!

I can't even figure out
how the stitch is manipulated.

How did Lu Yuanzhi make it?

Any message from Gu Yan?

Yes, he sent news this morning,
saying that everything goes well.

So fast!

He's truly the best spy of Japan.

Mr Sakamoto, Boss Jiang has arrived.

Bring him in.

Yes, sir.

Why hasn't he come?

Let's keep waiting.

[Sakamoto Cloth House]

Boss Guo, the guy entered in.

What should we do next?

Don't worry, let's keep observing it.

He has come out.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Boss Jiang, why do you come so early

this morning?

Mr Sakamoto,

I come here today to ask you

whether we can keep cooperating with each other.

Aren't you worried that

if we continue with the cooperation,

the same problem will occur?

This issue was absolutely done by Lu Yuanzhi

for opposing me.

He wants to cause me trouble,

then I must let his conspiracy fall flat.

Here, I'd like to apologize to you

for my bad attitude yesterday.

There's no need to blame yourself, Boss Jiang.

Since you have made up your mind,

then we surely will keep cooperating.

But the Garment-Making Shop

needs to be renovated
or we should find a new place for it.

Anyway, it's impossible to reopen it immediately.

The later it's reopened, the more loss we'll suffer.

But if the Sakamoto Cloth House

includes the garment-making business in,

will it be harder for your own businesses?

So what do you mean, Mr Sakamoto?

Boss Jiang, we can directly combine

the Garment-Making Shop with your Sihe House!

Isn't it a perfect idea?

I'm afraid that it's not okay.

I know what you're worried about.

You care a lot about your reputation, right?

We promise to take full consideration

of your reputation.

And we've prepared the contract
for canceling our agreement.

We can announce to the public that

our cooperation has broken down for divergence,

and you plans to reopen
the Garment-Making Shop within the Sihe House

Of course,

I'll offer you both the money and the cloth,

just as the Chinese saying goes that

"to change the liquid but not the drugs".

It seems to be more appropriate to describe

selling garments made of Japanese cloths in Sihe House

as selling horse meat as beefsteak.

Fine, as you like.

This is the contract
for our buying the share of your Sihe House,

please have a look at it, Boss Jiang.

Of course, I won't show up from now on,

so no one will know about it

if both you and me keep the secret.

[Contract]

You want 51 percent of the share

of Sihe House?

That's impossible.

Don't refuse me so quickly.

It has cost all your savings

to establish the Garment-Making Shop,

but now since the Shop is gone,

what else do you have to cooperate with me

except the Brand of Sihe House?

That's none of your business.

Let's just focus on
how to deal with the Garment-Making Shop.

We are, aren't we?

You said it was because of you that

Lu Yuanzhi destroyed the Garment-Making Shop.

Then you should pay for our loss.

Who at the beginning promised that

we'll share weal and woe?

You are really

a capricious guy.

Boss Jiang, don't be so extreme.

I've offered you my proposal for the best of us,

but you won't accept it. Of course we have to protect ourselves.

So what?

What if Mrs. Jiang knows that

you're having an affair

and stayed out all night

with a female embroider?

Sakamoto, you spy on me!

What are you doing?

Stop!

Tell me everything you know,

or I won't spare you.

Who are you?

Let go of me!

How did Aze die?

Damn you, speak!

Was it you that ruined
the Sihe Garment-Making Shop?

Did you also destroyed the Triple Cutting House?

Sato,

Boss Jiang is still our partner,

don't treat him like this. Let him go.

Let me go!

If you leave now,

I'm not sure what your wife will know.

Fine, you can have the share of the Sihe House,

but only 49 percent.

Great!

I know well that you're a reasonable
and smart person.

I won't make the partner like you

suffer losses.

What if I take 49 percent of the share

of the Sakamoto Cloth Shop

to change for 51 percent of the share

of your Sihe House?

Isn't it sincere enough?

Don't be too greedy

so that you can live a longer life,

and have more time to be with your wife,

as well as your beloved female embroider.

Boss Jiang, please.

How's it going?

He said he was obeying Sakamoto's order.

They killed Aze

and destroyed the Sihe House.

What about the Triple Cutting House?

He refused to tell anything about it.

He said he knew nothing

except this issue.

It doesn't make sense.

He shouldn't target at me,
for we have no association.

But if it was targeted
at the Triple Cutting House,

it is not worth the candle.

He can't be so stupid.

I don't get it.

Keep watching over that Japanese guy.

Tomorrow our big brother will ask him in person.

Okay, I shall keep him in the wing-room.

Have you succeeded?

It's now a little bit hard to borrow money.

It doesn't matter.

I shall try to borrow money from those shops that

have a good relationship with us.

I shall go to ask them about it,
and you can just wait for me at home.

We can borrow the money for three months.

No interest is asked but the dividend.

How did you make it?

I just promised Lady Tan that

you could make all of her clothes.

What's wrong?

Before I accept it,

I have to finish a very important task.

What task?

You...

I love you.

-I want you to be my wife and help me.
- Put me down!

Put me down!

It's so late now.

You should go home now and have a rest,

I'll be here.

Guozi, I seem to know

why Lu Yuanzhi prefers Kang Ning than me.

You've never said something bad about yourself.

I'd like to hear about it.

I do like Lu Yuanzhi.

And I'd like to do anything for him.

But I realize that

my affection for him

is too superficial.

You know that I have my own faith,

which I'll never change for anyone.

But I saw that

the spirits of Kang Ning and Lu Yuanzhi

are so closely intertwined that

they seem to have become one.

But I can never be like this with Lu Yuanzhi.

Actually, it doesn't matter at all.

No one has set a rule that

everyone has to love the other one

in the same way.

Like me.

You've turned me down for so many times,

but I still love you.

You should stop loving me,

for I must have made you feel tired.

I don't feel tired at all.

Let's continue to talk about you.

So are you going to give up?

No.

I just mean that

I need to focus on something more important.

Something more important?

Including me?

Of course.

Really?

Yes, I plan to sue you at the police office

for your not being serious

about your work,

which can do harm to Beijing's public security.

I shall go now.

Where are you going?

Go home and sleep! Silly boy.

You mean Ida has been missing?

Yes, after he left the Cloth Shop yesterday,

we've never seen him again

till this morning.

Have you sent someone to look for him?

Yes, but we haven't found him.

Today our Garment-Making Shop is to be reopened

within the Sihe House,

so you must make sure that

Lu Yuanzhi and Jiang Mosheng
be under our observation.

Yes, sir.

Come in!

My lord, someone from the Su's
came here this morning,

saying that Boss Lu has something very important

to tell you.

I don't want to see him.

He said that it was
about the Garment-Making Shop

and ask you to go there by all means,

saying that you'll see when you get there.

Do you want to go with me?

No,

it's your business,

I shouldn't interfere in.

Tell him, I'll be there later.

And fabrics of the Sakamoto Cloth House

will be sent to the Sihe House today.

Keep your eye on it. Don't make any mistakes.

Yes, my lord.

Take out all those fabrics.

Father!

Yaoyao!

You've finally come back.

What's wrong?

I'm afraid that the Sihe House may be in trouble.

Brother,

first I'd like to apologize to you.

It truly was Aze that

destroyed your shop.

But he was not ordered by me.

All of us knew nothing about it.

I know that you'll never admit it.

Aze worked for the Triple Cutting House,

but I'm not hostile to him,

so there was no reason for him to destroy my shop.

If it was not you that told him to do so,

then who else did it?

Sakamoto.

Here's the thing, brother.

Guozi has found out the truth.

The witness working
for Sakamoto has been caught by us,

and I can take you to see him.

Where's the guy?

I did tie him up here, then he escaped

when I went to the bathroom.

Is this the truth you want to show me?

Mosheng, you must believe me.

I interrogate the guy personally.

Besides, the Japanese is really

a bad guy.

I know Sakamoto is a bad guy,

but why should I trust you?

You said Sakamoto bought Aze over,
then where's Aze now?

Well, he has died.

You said you have a witness. Where is he?

He is also missing.

Yuanzhi, I really "admire" you.

Everyone around me is willing to believe in you

and even protect you.

I can't understand why!

Brother, please think over it.

If Yuanzhi wants to justify himself,

he should have made up a story

that appears to be more reasonable.

Obviously, it's ridiculous for Sakamoto

to destroy his own shop.

But that's exactly the truth.

Yuanzhi is really worried about you,
so he must let you know the truth.

What he cares most is himself!

Since we were young,

he always said that he wanted nothing

but focusing on making clothes.

But the fact is that he wants everything,

including the master's legacy,

the Triple Cutting House,

the position of Chairman of the business committee,

and even Yaoyao...

Even Yaoyao's heart was almost gained by you.

How can you say so, brother?

I have never thought about contending

for anything with you.

And I think we're brothers.

That's a little harsh, isn't it?

Do you know what I hate most about you?

You said you don't want to contend with me.

But you actually contend for everything with me!

You're enjoying fame and fortune

and acting like you don't care about them.

You know what. Yuanzhi,

you've driven me to the brink.

I can't believe

that's the way you think of me.

Fine. Let's not argue about this.

I just want to know one thing.

Am I still your brother?

If not, what am I doing here?

Brother!

Besides,

stop calling me brother anymore.

Yuanzhi, don't be too upset.

We've tried our best.

This is his own choice.

So he doesn't want to be my brother.

Tell him that

Sakamoto has a hidden agenda

and he should be careful.

Luckily we were one step ahead.

Lu Yuanzhi can't explain himself this time.

That way.

Keep watch.

Well done.

We must make sure Jiang Mosheng won't be suspicious of us.

But Lu Yuanzhi already knows that

you're behind the looting.

He doesn't have any proof though.

I don't care that he knows about it.

Besides, we have another trump card.

Father, why didn't you tell me you're back?

I would get someone to pick you up from the station

Mosheng, apologize to father.

For what?

Tell me.

You've put Sakamoto's cloths

into Sihe House, right?

It's more complicated than that.

I'm not interested in how complicated it is.

Just answer my question.

I don't have to explain to you.

It's the way it is.

You use earnings of Sihe House

for the ready-to-wear shop with Sakamoto,

and then move the ready-to-wear shop to Sihe House.

Do you know what this it?

You're trusting a wolf to watch over sheep!

In business, you have to give something before you get something.

That's what you taught me, father.

I taught you that?

Fine. I've something else to teach you.

Bai Sheng, take all the cloths to Sakamoto Cloth House

and burn them all!

Yes.

Bai Sheng, you're the butler of the Bai family.

But you have no position to interfere in Sihe House's business!

Nonsense!

Listen up.

As long as I'm still alive,

I call the shots in the Bai family.

If you don't repent and redeem yourself,

you won't be allowed

to manage Sihe House anymore.

You still think you're in charge of Sihe House?

[Contract]

The title deeds of house and land,

the keys and account books of Sihe House

are all owned by me.

Sakamoto Cloth House has 51% of share

of Sihe House now.

So you're not in charge of Sihe House anymore.

You...you've

sold our shares to Skamoto!

You! You...

- Father!
- Bastard!

- Father!
- Bastard!

Kick them out!

Yes!

Stop!

Jiang Mosheng, are you out of your mind?

You don't want your family anymore?

No one really understands me in this family!

Bai Fu, send them away!

Yes.

How dare you!

This is karma.

Karma.

I...

I've raised

a bastard son.

Jiang Mosheng,

our Bai family disowns you.

Pooh!

Fuck off!

Thanks.

It's Mid-autumn Festival soon.

We're supposed to celebrate it with the entire family,

but Yuanzhi and Mosheng had a falling-out.

So a family union is impossible.

I'd like to send gifts

to Madam and Yaoyao

to show our best wishes.

You're very thoughtful.

I didn't expect that

you would invite me for shopping together.

What?

Is it because you're magnanimous

or you don't give a damn about me?

Don't you forget that

I'm still not over Yuanzhi.

I haven't forgotten that.

If you can take him away from me, then be it.

Are you challenging me?

If I manage to take him away from you,

don't you regret it!

That's not what I mean.

I really think that if you're able to do that,

then he can also be taken away by another woman.

In that case, he's not worth it.

In retrospect,

I'm glad that

Lu Yuanzhi didn't choose me.

It's better not to be loved than to be abandoned.

Let me see.

You have a great taste.

It's beautiful, but too big.

Wonderful!

You have a good eye.

This suits you very well.

Alright. I'll take it.

Yes.

Yaoyao must love this.

Peach blossoms are her favorite.

Manager, I'd like to see these earrings.

Coming.

Very good.

Which one?

The peach blossoms.

This pair?

Sorry.

This pair of earrings have already been ordered,

and is the only one available.

Would you like to take a look at our other designs?

Did the person who ordered the earrings pay for them?

He gave deposit

and will collect them soon.

What about this.

We'll pay you double deposit.

Sell these to us.

I can't do that. Business is about trust.

Besides,

I can't afford to offend

Mr. Jiang of Sihe House.

What a coincidence.

What is yours will always be yours.

[Triple Cutting House]

This way, please.

Check it out.

Come on! Out of the way!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Out of the way! Hurry up!

- Goodbye.
- Go in!

Go in!

Get down, quickly!

You get down!

Out!

Over there!

Hurry up!

They must have offended someone.

Oh my.

Sir.

What's going on?

We're doing business here.

You can't just rush in like this.

I don't have to explain to you. Get down!

Get down!

Go and search Aze's room

and the counter and tailoring room

to see if he left anything.

Yes! Follow me!

Are you crazy?

Do you know who my brother is at the police station?

Shut up!

Guozi?

Nobody can help you now.

If we can't find Aze today,

you'll be in huge trouble! Go!

- What...
- Go! Go!

Mr. Jiang, you should have informed me

before you called the police.

For what?

You think we shouldn't

bring the looters to justice?

We're businessmen,

so we should stay out of unnecessary trouble.

The Chinese policemen of national government

may not help Japanese businessmen like me.

Besides, Lu Yuanzhi

is probably going to shift the blame to us.

What are you afraid of?

We haven't done anything wrong.

He looted our shop, so we must search their shop.

I'll get to the bottom of this matter

to find out whether Lu Yuanzhi was behind the looting or not.

You're awesome, huh?

Do you know what happened?

What?

Why didn't you tell me

before hand.

What's all the fuss about?

Do you know how many

Japanese informers there are

who keep an eye on Triple Cutting House?

Japanese informers?

Our boss told us that

the looting of Sihe House

has seriously affected Japanese business here,

so I was told to look into the case.

If I hadn't arrested you,

I would have been in big trouble myself.

You know what happened,

and you saw how Aze died.

Right?

I did see that,

and I collected his dead body myself too.

But I must do my job!

Fine. Just cut the crap

and tell me.

Now what?

Don't worry. I'll handle that.

Your business was affected today because of us,

but we must make clear about one thing.

If you want to call the police, just ask me about it.

Why did you have to report to our Chief?

I just want to make a big deal out of this!

Aze is still unaccounted for.

And you told me

Sakamoto sent those looters.

I'm really worried!

I've signed several contracts with Sakamoto.

Now I've even deprived father of his leadership of Sihe House.

So I must get to the bottom of this case!

This is the Japanese man I caught last time.

My colleague made a portrait of him.

Did you see this guy among the looters?

Stop it!

Yes.

It's more complicated that I thought.

Guozi, if we can't find out the truth,

I'll go bankrupt.

Now I'm worried about big brother.

If Sakamoto does this simply

to have the upper hand in business,

then he doesn't have to

pitch big brother against me.

I also need to give you a heads up.

We received the order that

the security level is raised to maximum

for the upcoming International Costume Convention.

It's just a costume convention.

What's the point?

Delegates from countries such as

Britain, France, Japan and Germany

will arrive in Peking.

And we've been told to step up patrols

all over the city.

Do you know what it means?

I don't know politics,

and I've no idea

what the current situation

implies.

But I'm under mounting pressure now.

For what?

International Costume Convention

is hosted by our own country.

If a foreigner wins the top prize,

they'll make a big deal out of it

and that'll be our humiliation!

I don't worry about the ready-to-wear shop.

Check this out.

[International Costume Convention will take place in Peking]

International Costume Convention.

Right. In this International Costume Convention,

each country will send two delegates.

I think China Garment Association

will send Lu Yuanzhi for the competition.

Lu Yuanzhi will definitely

seize this opportunity to make a splash.

So has Mr. Jiang ever thought about

competing with him in the Convention?

Contestants of International Costume Convention

are recommended by consulates or chambers of commerce.

Even though there are two places of contestants,

Peking Garment Association

won't recommend me.

Mr. Jiang, if you want to take part

and they don't recommend you,

our Ono Chamber of Commerce will.

No way.

I don't know how to make a kimono.

Kimonos will be made by contestants

recommended by other Japanese associations.

I want you to make cheongsams.

This asshole! Asshole!

He sold our shares

to that Japanese man!

Bastard!

Traitor!

Calm down, please.

You're not a young man anymore.

If you fall ill because of this,

who's going to look after you?

- Jiang Mosheng...
- Don't mention him!

The angrier you are,

the more you care about him.

To be honest,

I really admire the fact that

you value your family very much.

How touching!

How loving!

As the old saying goes, a caring mother....No.

- Fine fine fine.
- A mother always...No.

I have to swallow my pride

to turn to you for a solution

to stop him.

Any idea?

Since we can't find a solution, just forget about it for now.

Let's set this aside.

We have something more important

to do at the moment.

I'd like to invite you to attend International Costume Convention

along with me.

International Costume Convention

aims at promoting different costume cultures.

It's a great platform to showcase

costumes and national influence.

Mr. Jiang

Ono Chamber of Commerce

values this opportunity

to make a name for ourselves in an international context.

We want to win the top prize.

What does it have to do with me?

Japanese kimono originates from the Tang Dynasty,

but it's much less acknowledged around the world

than Chinese costumes.

So I think

if we compete by making cheongsams,

we'll have a better chance

to win.

So Ono Chamber of Commerce

only cares about the end

instead of the means.

Exactly.

I've already got the approval

from all the senior members of our Association.

As long as you agree,

we can compete in the Convention together.

It's such a humiliation.

I'm not in charge of Sihe House anymore.

Which House am I going to represent to compete?

Tell me!

Bai Henian.

What did you just say?

No.

What did you call me?

I'm trying to say that the name of Bai Henian

actually enjoys a greater reputation than Sihe House.

So you can compete as an individual instead of representing a shop.

As long as our Association grants it,

nobody dares to challenge the decision.

What an insult! What an insult!

Look at how old I am now,

and you're asking me to

make a mockery of myself in International Costume Convention!

I dedicated my whole life to Sihe House

and pass it on to him.

But he kicked me out of my own shop!

Bastard!

- Easy.
- Bastard!

Calm down, please.

You're giving yourself a hard time.

I'm here to ask you

for a solution to teach him a lesson.

I can't believe you've come up with

this ridiculous idea.

I...Forget it. I'm off.

You...you haven't had tea yet!

This way, please.

Mr. Bai,

it's not safe for you

to walk so fast with crutches.

Would you please

stop hesitating

and just agree to my proposal, all right?

Don't even think about it. Don't talk to me.

Mr. Bai! Manager Bai! Old-timer!

I'm...sorry.

I was being rude.

But what's your decision?

Are you going to compete or not?

Go.

Alright.

Mr. Bai, come back!

Let's talk!

I didn't mean to be rude!
