" Our Glamourous Time "

Episode 11

May Miss Lin and me...

have our success for years to come.

Yes...

At the sunset, you turned around...

and smiled at the camera.

I wonder if that's tear or smile on my face.

I am sorry.

I didn't hold on.

I believe...

But you still don't get it.

When you came into my life,

I had the most wonderful moment of all time.

I believe...

Good morning.

After ages have passed...

We will sit next to each another in the the photo of black and white.

Don't you know? You are the hero of Ai Da now.

Fatty, good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning. Lin Qian, good job.

- What? - Appointment is needed for lunch.

- What is that about? - Your fan.

I simply completed my own design project.

When I was scrolling down the news, I noticed something.

There are so many articles about our record-breaking turnout jacket.

- Isn't that cool? - Really?

Of course.

Oh my god, that means we are on the news?

I am getting famous, right?

Hello, I am Ya Yi, the reporter.

Any thoughts about your recent achievement?

I must thank my parents.

I must thank...

my best friend, Ya Yi!

Our effort didn't go to waste.

I need to thank...

They are so many people around.

Let's keep it down.

Keep it down.

My joy is beyond any words.

I am so excited. Give me some water.

I know. But I think...

this is totally different from when we are running the online shop.

Of course it's different. This is a great feat.

But the bidding result isn't out yet.

You are just being paranoid.

We will certainly get it.

Stop stressing yourself.

That's why I am thinking about it.

This is no child's play, how can I not be worried?

Mr. Li, good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Li.

Mr. Li, you came here early today.

You look to be in good health.

Wait for me.

The dawn is yet to break.

The stars are all still awake.

The fireworks blurred the vision of the day.

And my yearning is right here waiting for you,

right below faint street light,

at moment you show your smile.

We are like the white keys on the piano.

Missing one another...

yet black key separate us.

Any news from the Ming Sheng Corporation?

We won the bidding.

Great!

Congratulation.

Qian Qian?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

When you looked him in the eyes,

the awkward look tells me that...

something happened between you two.

- Spit it out. - We...

That wasn't awkward. We are perfectly normal.

Mr. Li is a log-head.

When he looked at you,

he look emptied and lost.

But I noticed just now.

The way he looked at you was so gentle.

Don't be ridiculous.

We are nothing more than partners.

He is a nice man.

He helped and supported me on work,

he takes care of me in daily life.

We are great partners at work...

and fine neighbours in life.

Nothing more than that.

Okay, great partners and fine neighbours.

As for the first phase - the partnership,

we have secured the first victory.

As for second phase - love,

small details and expression in eyes must be more ample.

Tell me, how is the progress?

Come on.

Spit it out.

Okay, I will tell you. Listen.

Listen closely.

- One word. - One word.

- Nothing. - Nothing?

Look at me.

Honesty is all over my face.

Does it say there is progress?

See? There is nothing.

The project of Ming Sheng Corporation may have helped us with fame,

but even if we can get the prepayment immediately,

we need a huge amount as capital at first.

Is there any solution?

We can apply for a bank loan.

After all, this project will surely bring profits.

And when it come to Belt and Road project,

I think the bank will approve the loan.

This is the files on a few banks.

As for which we will apply for, that's up to you.

The problem now is the money.

But most importantly, what is the resource we can get from the money?

It depends on you.

We won the bidding of Ming Sheng project,

but Lin Qian must have the greatest credit.

Indeed.

But I thought the contract you signed with her...

was only about this project.

I will make her stay.

From my experience,

there are two kinds of boys when it comes to liking a girl.

One, do and say nothing.

That's Mr. Li. He does and says nothing.

Two, all talks and do nothing.

Wait, none of these is good.

All talks...

So...

I didn't say anything. I am going.

I will go.

Don't cut my salary pay, I was just making that up.

Please!

Why are you hiding from me lately?

I am not hiding from you.

You wake up earlier than I do.

I am in a good mood because the project went well.

You don't want to see me?

No.

You don't want to talk to me?

I am talking to you now, isn't it?

So you don't want to join...

the H Magazine New Generation Salon Show?

What?

For young designers,

this is the golden ticket to enter the fashion industry.

So,

I am invited?

- I have another good news. - What is it?

Welcome, Lin Qian the grand designer!

Here, we won the bidding for the Ming Sheng project.

That all thanks to Lin Qian.

- Right? - Yes!

Not at all, it's thanks to everyone.

Miss Lin is young and beautiful, and she is full of talents!

That's for sure.

She can make a living with her gorgeous look,

but she chose the path of talents.

- Give her the flowers, now! - Lin Qian, flowers for you.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

It's a pleasant experience working with you.

This success belongs to everyone, and Mr. Li too!

Thank you, Mr. Li.

It's a bright sunny day, stop being so humble.

Here, a toast for you.

Congratulation for the success of her design!

Cheers!

- Thank you everyone. - Congratulations!

Thank you!

- Nicely done, Lin Qian. - Thank you, Lin Qian.

Thank you.

Stop standing there, have a toast with her now.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Where is Gu Yan Zhi?

He was gone since this afternoon.

The sabotage incident is over,

but there is something I don't quite get it.

Who do you think would do such thing?

For now, we can only suspect the rivals.

- Xin Bao Rui? - They are trying to crush Wen Da.

This must have something to do with them.

Do you suspect it's Ning Wei Kai?

I suspect him the most for now.

But we don't have concrete evidence.

Hello? Who is this?

It's me, Qian.

How may I help you?

Right, I need to have a word with you.

Can we meet?

I am sorry, I don't have the time.

Qian,

did I do something to upset you?

Qian, what's wrong?

Is there a misunderstanding between us?

You sounded strange on the phone just now.

Senior, I have a question for you.

About Ai Da's sample,

did Xin Bao Rui sent their men to sabotage it?

Who told you this?

Is it Li Zhi Cheng?

I am Ai Da's chief designer.

I designed the turnout jacket.

It's only normal if I am concerned.

Qian.

There are many companies that are after the Ming Sheng project.

It's not just the three of us.

There are many other small companies too.

Something as lowly as sabotage...

must be their doing.

I can know what a fabric is when I touch it.

But business rivalry...

really got me thinking that...

human hearts are complicated.

Tell me,

in your eyes,

what kind of man am I?

You are different from who you were at school.

I know.

You worked for Ai Da and I am in Xin Bao Rui.

We are indeed rivals on work.

But I will never do anything to harm you.

Now, that matter is over.

Let's not mention it again.

Leave it be.

Why do you ask me out?

Actually,

now that Ming Sheng's project is coming to an end,

your contract with Ai Da will soon expire too.

I am planning...

to invite you to work in Xin Bao Rui once again.

The project may be over,

but the contract is still in effect.

There is still some time before it expires.

How about this, senior?

When the contract expires, I will contact you at once.

Okay, I will be waiting for you.

Mr. Li.

- We meet again. - Mr. Ning.

I must congratulate you...

for winning the bidding of the project.

Did you send the men into Ai Da?

Mr. Li, is this a joke?

Why would I do that?

Of course, I have heard about it too.

I explained to Lin Qian.

Ask her if you don't believe me.

I am warning you.

Lin Qian is just a designer.

Whatever lowly doings you plan,

don't get her involved.

I know.

When you are suspecting someone,

whatever he says would always sound like a lie.

I am not suspecting you.

I am sure it's you.

So Mr. Li, do you have any proof?

If there is no proof,

we are simply wasting our time here.

You are both here.

- Mr. Chen. - For today's salon show,

aside from Lin Qian, there is the new design director...

Si Mei Qi just hired.

Mr. Ning, which side are you on?

I am not choosing either sides.

I only care about good designs.

I think this is why Grace organized this salon show.

I thought you are both rooting for Lin Qian today.

But since Mr. Ning voiced his stand,

and he wants to stay neutral,

this looks like another three kingdoms war.

We did lose on the Ming Sheng project.

But for the salon show today,

it's time Si Mei Qi shows its talons.

One mischief might not show any flaw.

But if the ill conducts continue,

a flaw is bound to be shown.

A piece of advice for you,

follow the ethics of our industry.

Trying someone's patience...

will cause you the rage of everyone else.

What are you talking about? Can you explain to me?

It's nothing.

We are merely having a conversation.

Indeed. If Mr. Ning insists on making the same mistake,

I won't back out either.

Li Zhi Cheng, you are becoming even more arrogant.

Another piece of advice for you.

stay away from your Brother Wei Kai.

What does that mean?

Ignore him.

He won the first round,

yet he thinks the whole Linhai City is his turf.

But he wants me to beware of you.

I think he has a point on that.

Mr. Chen, what do you mean?

You knew the Japanese fabrics deal was Li Zhi Cheng's trap.

But you stood by and let me fall for it.

Mr. Chen, you misunderstood me.

I only found out afterwards.

But you have already signed the contract.

There was nothing I can do.

In this battle,

Xin Bao Rui suffered the defeat too.

If you wish to blame anyone,

blame it on Li Zhi Cheng of Ai Da.

I will make him pay dearly and slowly for what he did.

Rest assured, Mr. Chen. When another bounty presents itself,

Xin Bao Rui will surely share it with Si Mei Qi.

But don't forget.

Our common enemy...

is still Li Zhi Cheng.

Mr. Chen.

- How is the preparation? - We are almost ready.

Do it well. If you perform greatly today,

everyone from the Linhai City fashion industry will know your name.

Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will do my best.

Miss Lin, you are here too?

Mr. Chen, please excuse me.

Lin Qian, remember. You're not the only designer here.

See this?

She is the designer Si Mei Qi recently hired.

There is nothing we can't do with money.

If there is, that means we are not spending enough money.

Impressive, Mr. Chen. Congratulation.

Ai Da will fall sooner or later.

If it is fallen and you wish to beg for my help,

we might consider taking you in.

Thank you, Mr. Chen. I am not in need of money.

This is pretty.

Thank you.

Why isn't he here yet?

Grace!

You are finally here.

- It's been a while. - Grace.

Long time no see.

- You are getting more pretty. - Really?

- Yes. - You are in good shape too.

Not at all. I just arrived, the jet-lag is still kicking.

Really? Let me introduce you.

This the man I mentioned to you. Ai Da's president, Mr. Li.

This is Mr. Cheng of An Ka Da.

Your reputations precede you.

Nice to meet you, handsome young man.

His company may be an emerging industry,

but because he is so capable and full of potentials,

their company just won the bidding for Ming Sheng project.

I know about that.

I am sure your recommendation won't be a let-down.

- So you should be business partners. - Sure, no problem.

- We will discuss about it later. - Sure.

Okay, I should get prepared. See you later.

Okay. Cindy, bring Mr. Cheng inside to get prepared.

- Okay. - See you later.

This way, please.

An Ka Da will soon redesign their uniforms for cabin crew.

This can be a great business deal.

At least thousands of them.

Talk nicely to him if you have the chance.

Give him an impression.

But I talked to him on the phone.

He said that he is interested to be your business partner.

So, it's up to you now.

Grace, thank you.

I don't want to hear another 'thank you' from you, okay?

If we can take down this project, Ai Da will have a great breakthrough.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the Salon Show of H Magazine.

Our models will showcase the works of eight designers.

Next, let's have a round of applause...

and welcome Miss Grace from H Group...

to deliver her speech.

I am glad that all of you can attend the event today.

H Group has been organizing salon shows for the past nine years.

Within this nine years, new local designers debuted on this platform.

They each have great achievements on Fashion Week around the world.

I am proud of them.

That very pride is the reason why I continue to organize this event.

What's special about today...

is that we have a charity donation on our salon show.

The Brittle Bone Disease Fund Raiser.

With the hard work of our designers,

the money we get from this auction...

will be donated to the children who suffer from brittle Boone disease.

I hope everyone can lend a helping hand...

to these children who are in need of our love and caring.

Thank you.

Today, we invited a very special guest to our event.

He is the CEO of An Ka Da Airline at the region of China, Mr. Cheng Feng.

Let's welcome Mr. Cheng Feng on stage!

- Mr. Cheng, long time no see. - Hello, Grace.

Ladies and gentlemen, hello.

Everyone is taking initiative to take part in this event...

and are willing to cooperate with Grace on the fund raiser,

I am very deeply touched.

Aside from donation for the charity,

I have another news to announce to everyone.

As you know,

An Ka Da just entered the Chinese market not long ago.

Our headquarters is planning to have...

an overhaul for our cabin crew uniforms.

This is no order of small amount.

It cost 200 millions.

40 thousands units of uniform.

Great quality and decent price will get you the deal.

I requested from the headquarters...

to have the uniforms designed and manufactured in China.

So, I hope that all design manufacturers...

will be eager to take part in the bidding for the tender, okay?

Yes!

Thank you. I wish the charity event tonight...

will end on a high note.

Good!

Next, let's witness this remarkable and splendid event of salon show!

The first designer is Zhou Zheng Da from the Anggu Corporation,

As a designer who just came back from New York,

he incorporated the wonders of Manhattan in his design.

Yet, it embodies the courtesy of the Linhai City culture.

The second designer is Lin Qian from Ai Da.

Her works show boldness and novelty.

She won't confine herself within a certain genre.

She chose to express her unique subtlety...

within her designs from time to time.

The forth designer is Han Xiao Xiao from Chun Xia.

Han Xiao Xiao's designs are mainly focus on the colour of white.

Minimalist and poised,

yet at the same time turn it into a kaleidoscopic wonder.

The eighth designers is Zhang Si Yao from Si Mei Qi.

Last year, Linhai Daily's verdict for her...

is 'one of the most potential designers in Linhai City'.

She is the rare impressionist among all designers in Linhai City.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, bring along your invitations...

and place your votes into the voting box.

We will announce the result after the break.

Mr. Cheng, we are very interested...

in the uniform project of An Ka Da Airline.

I wonder if you can leave me your contact.

Sure.

That's right, Mr. Cheng. We've been wanting to be your partner too.

Hello, Mr. Cheng. Mr. Li wishes to have an appointment with you too.

Sure.

Xiao Ya, take the contact numbers from them.

Sure, Mr. Cheng.

Okay.

Mr. Cheng. Long time no see.

Where is Old Man Wu?

Him? He is not available today.

That was too much.

I talked to him about this before.

I told him to contact Ai Da in private.

But he went on the stage and announce it to everyone.

He turned my salon show into his own invitation to tender.

Mr. Cheng.

I have heard about the 'Flying Man'.

I never thought I get to meet you in person today.

You are...

I'm Chen Zheng, the executive director and CEO of Si Mei Qi.

Si Mei Qi?

I know your father. Chen Zhi Jun, right?

Chen Zhi Jun, yes.

You are far better-looking than your father.

Mr. Cheng.

Si Mei Qi is doing well in recent years.

It must be because of this young CEO, right?

Please, we youngsters are nothing...

compared to one with experience like yourself.

But I heard An Ka Da is inviting for bidding of their project.

Will you consider us?

Sure.

You have the best sale approach.

We just joined the Chinese market, this is what we need the most.

Mr. Cheng, I am glad that you said so. I am overjoyed.

Rest assured, Si Mei Qi will provide An Ka Da...

the online platforms and resources they need for the marketing here.

I believe if our cooperation is successful,

it will be a win-win for both of us.

- I look forward to that. - Thank you, Mr. Cheng.

Not bad, Xin Bao Rui is doing well in recent years.

You have the vastest capital and a very sizeable network.

We just joined the Chinese market, this is what we need the most.

Rest assured, Mr. Cheng.

We are confident we will win the bidding.

Good.

I look forward for your good news.

Okay.

The result is out.

The two designers with highest votes...

are Miss Li Qian the chief designer of Ai Da...

and the designer from Si Mei Qi...

who are recently hired, Miss Zhang Si Yao.

Congratulations.

The two models, please stay on the stage.

As for the others, please exit from the stage.

According to the numbers of votes,

we will now put the work of Miss Zhang on auction.

Mr. Cheng, what do you think about the design language of number eight?

I like this one.

It has the grand European style.

I think the overall design is grand.

It suits the international corporation like An Ka Da perfectly.

So, don't hold back during the auction.

I might as well ask your designer to make another dress for me.

No problem.

The bid starts at 50 thousands.

Each raise of hand is 50 thousands.

The auction starts now.

Ten thousands.

- 100 thousands? Any higher bidder? - 150 thousands.

150 thousands? Lady, you have a good taste for dress.

This is a remarkable work.

- 200 thousands. - 200 thousands?

First call at 200 thousands.

First call at 250 thousands.

Second call at 300 thousands.

400 thousands? Mr. Cheng is bidding with 400 thousands!

It's a record breaker for our salon show!

Second call at 400 thousands.

Third and final call at 400 thousands!

Not only did she win the salon show today,

she also broke the record with the highest price in our auction.

Come.

Mr. Cheng, this is designer number two, Lin Qian.

- Designer number eight, Zhang Si Yao. - Hello.

Lin Qian, this is Miss Xiao Na that your dress was sold to.

This is Mr. Cheng.

Hello, Mr. Cheng. Thank you, Miss Xiao Na.

Thank you for buying my dress.

The designer herself is pretty.

That's why the dress was so beautiful.

Leave me your name-card.

I will let you make a dress for me.

Okay, sure.

- This is my name-card. - Thank you.

Mr. Cheng, this is my name-card.

You are a designer from Ai Da?

Your boss is Mr. Li?

Yes, you know Mr. Li?

Yes, I know him.

He is very interested in the uniform project.

Really? I look forward to work with you.

But I don't think you are capable to take this on.

Your designs are great.

But the dress with veil is only suited for young ladies.

Compared to the designs from number eight,

you lack a little maturity.

Designing need experience.

It's not the same as economy.

It needs accumulation of culture.

I admit,

there are indeed many local designers with great potentials.

But all of their works...

are just beating around in their own confinement.

They don't think outside the box.

They will never be mature enough...

to comprehend something with single touch.

I think you are same as well.

Am I right?

Mr. Cheng, I know there are many experienced local designers.

They can combine both the western and eastern elements very well.

If we only use western designs as referential standard,

it's normal if we feel the local designers are not mature.

But it's simple cultural difference.

We are taking on our own path.

Little girl,

you are a better debater than you are a designer.

The western fashion style has over two centuries of history.

If you don't humbly learn from them,

how is that a mature attitude?

Tell me.

- Mr. Cheng. - Mr. Li.

You seem to be having a common interest with my designer.

Not bad, she enlightened me on some points.

We are in a hurry this time. Let's meet again next time.

Okay.

I will get prepared. You can come over to my office.

Sure.

Ning Wei Kai.

The cold food here is such a gast.

I know some place better. Let's have our meal there.

- Come on. - Okay.

Why are we here?

It's about the An Ka Da project.

You know what happened in the previous project.

I was baited right away by Li Zhi Cheng.

And you? Even after all the shady deals you made,

you lost to Ai Da nonetheless.

So?

Why don't we try to use the same plan...

we did to blow his deal with You A?

You want to join hands with me?

Don't forget, Mr. Chen.

Li Zhi Cheng's Ai Da got its hand full with the Ming Sheng project.

So for the An Ka Da project,

I bet he has nothing left to take on this business.

And the project from An Ka Da...

is nothing significant for Xin Bao Rui.

What makes you think I want to work with you?

You drew a lot of attentions on the salon show.

Is that so?

Mr. Cheng said that...

He said I am not the designer he wanted.

He thinks the local designers need experience.

We need a better outlook.

He is just another businessman.

He doesn't know much about designs. Don't take his words too seriously..

Sometimes, his opinions doesn't mean much.

It's okay, I think he has a point.

As a certified designer,

we need a greater outlook.

We need more experience from the works.

So, I will work harder.

I want to prove my worth.

Your chance is here.

An Ka Da is entering China market and need a uniform redesign.

The call for tender starts soon.

Will you take on this challenge?

But Mr. Cheng doesn't seem to like me.

After the Ming Sheng project, you gained some fame in our circle.

If you succeed in this challenge,

it might change his thoughts about you.

Also, I will give you a raise of 20% on your salary.

I want to have a long term contract with you.

I will take the challenge even without the raise.

I told you I will work hard.

So, you agreed?

That's the girl I know.

Okay, how long do you want?

Five years.

Five years?

That's quite a long time.

Is it? A lifetime is long.

I am not selling myself.

Won't you?

No.

Don't make me wait too long.

Miss Li, you have a nice figure.

And you are beautiful too. Anything would look nice on you.

I think you look better in a dress.

I am in no mood for grooming. I don't want to wear dress.

My brother is busy with his work and there is nothing I can do.

Do you think I am useless too?

Of course not.

At least you are pretty to look at.

And me? I feel like...

I am as helpless as a punch on pillow.

You know?

Your two brothers have totally different styles at work.

They said they trust me. But in the end,

Zhi Cheng never let me know about his plan.

All I can do is follow.

Sorry, the number you have dialled is unavailable at the moment.

Please try again later.

Documents from Wen Da.

Okay, go on. I will be going now.

So,

the project from Ming Sheng was taken by the Li family.

What is your next plan?

That was just a fluke last time.

He won't be as lucky this time.

An Ka Da Airline announced a project.

The three companies will fight for it again.

Father, I won't let you down this time.

When a man reached a stage...

where he learns to be humble,

it means he is becoming more mature at mind.

You are always so hot-headed.

That temper won't do you good.

You should learn from your defeat.

Get some experiences from you rivals.

Fine, Father. It's late now. You should go to bed.

It seems like Li Zhi Cheng...

has a good insight and prowess.

He can be a man of great achievement.

Can you not compare me to him?

Look at you.

You got mad just because I praised him.

Fine I admit it.

I underestimated him this time.

But it won't happen again.

You are looking for me?

So, how was the party?

Not bad. But you weren't there.

When did you apply to return to headquarters?
