[[Once and Forever]

[Episode 21]

Xiao Qianxi, a singer from Tianhe

Entertainment, became a new star

[Xiao Qianxi]

in the music industry with her

debut album "Love of the Wind."

She also became the cover star

of "Fashion Entertainment",

and made her debut in the fashion industry.

Xiao Qianxi said in the interview that

she would never look back with regrets;

instead, she will only look forward.

She believes in herself

and loves those who believe her.

She hopes that she can...

Xiaozhou, I'm sorry.

The rehearsal was delayed.

I can't go to the airport to see you off.

Have a safe journey.

Love you.

[Fashion Entertainment Xiao Qianxi The Letter of Belief]

Bye.

See?

We made a mistake in

our marketing direction.

What do you mean?

Think about it.

Even if we distribute flyers

in every corner of

the furniture mall,

the consumers there are still

accustomed to personally visiting

the furniture mall for purchases.

Some of them might not even

use the internet,

let alone online shopping.

You mean

we should start with the netizens?

Yes.

We all know that

inside the furniture mall,

there are definitely people

who want to buy furniture.

However, with so many

internet users online,

how do we know who is interested in

buying furniture?

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Then let's cast a wide net.

Where should we cast it?

Wherever there are many people.

Look, Mop.com and Tianya,

Right?

Let's access to

the most popular post

and put up our ads.

That makes sense.

The most popular post.

[Tofu-dredg project news Bridge Collapses Less Than Three Years After Construction Investigation of Tofu-dredg projects]

No.

Mom, just tell me the truth.

OK?

Is the issue

in our family really serious?

Whether it's serious or not,

it has nothing to do with you.

No, how does it have nothing to do with me?

My friends don't even answer my calls.

Then they are not true friends.

Hello.

Yang Cheng.

What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?

I didn't hear your phone ringing just now.

It's okay.

My phone hasn't rung loud enough lately.

I thought you

wouldn't answer my calls either.

Are you home?

Then go downstairs.

Come on, have a seat.

Beibei.

Have some fruits.

Auntie, don't bother.

How is your mom?

Did her headache condition act up?

Recently,

I haven't had time to visit her.

As soon as I landed,

I rushed here.

She hurriedly returned home

after murmuring something.

I really can't put my mind at ease.

Exactly,

it's not that big of a deal.

But she just couldn't keep calm.

Beibei, you should quickly

bring her back to the UK.

She'll only get more distressed

while staying at home.

Yes, Auntie.

That's exactly what I plan to do.

With your assurance,

I really feel relieved.

You guys talk.

Let me know what you want to eat.

Thank you, Auntie.

Okay.

You see, I told you,

your mom is doing just fine.

Doing fine?

I've been trying to

help Qin Chuan's dad

schedule an operation for stent placement,

but I can't find anyone to help me.

If you want to make an appointment,

you can contact Ma.

Hello,

the number you dialed is currently busy.

Please try again later.

[Ma]

Hello, Young Master Yang.

What made you

remember to call me?

Stop talking nonsense.

Why didn't you answer

Wang Ying's call just now?

Did she call me?

I didn't see it.

We have a friend whose dad

needs urgent surgery.

Can you help us make an appointment?

Got it.

I'll go early to line up for that tomorrow.

Don't worry.

See?

All my calls are automatically muted.

Forget it.

I hate those people

who cling to you like flies,

but once there's a slight disturbance,

they scatter like a flock of birds.

They are just

a bunch of

posers and schemers.

It's just human nature.

You don't need to worry too much.

Why frighten yourself?

Look, I've already come back,

and I'll handle any issues that may arise.

Are all the posts put up?

Don't miss the pages of entertainment.

Yes,

even on the "Lianpeng Ghost Talk" section.

How many days are left until the deadline

you agreed to with Qianqian?

Three days.

Where are the customers

who want to buy furniture?

Are you there?

Yes.

Add "Dear".

What are the dimensions of the coffee table?

Coffee table?

Page. Page.

Here. Here. Here.

Length: 70 centimeters.

Width: 40 centimeters.

Height: 50 centimeters.

Put "Dear" in front.

Dear.

Is it made of solid wood?

100% imported cherry wood.

Any discount?

It's almost at cost price...

No, no, no.

Yes.

At worst, we can offer some free gifts.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, dear, we have.

We have special offers for opening.

[The other party is offline]

He is offline.

Well,

he just asked all sorts of questions

and then go offline

without saying goodbye.

That's how it is with

online shopping.

Unless your products are in high demand

and everyone is rushing to buy them.

Otherwise, it's just casual chatting

and inquiries.

It doesn't take much effort either.

Oh my!

If he were in the shop,

I could at least try to persuade him

and negotiate the price.

But online,

you can't see or touch anything.

How can I convince him?

Oh, no.

Mom.

Is Uncle Wang okay?

I don't know.

Then I'll call

to ask Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang is having a meeting

with your dad.

Don't bother him

with all these

messy matters.

What do you mean by messy matters?

It's about Wang Ying's family.

Why are you so anxious?

We can hardly manage to

intervene in someone else's business.

Mom, how could you say like that?

What relationship do I have with Wang Ying?

Don't you still

keep the cup special for Wang Ying

on the table?

I can keep

that cup for her forever,

but you two are just friends.

That's all.

Okay, I understand.

It's inconvenient for you to do it.

But isn't it

necessary for me

to help Wang Ying?

You?

You stepping in?

Why would others help you?

No one can help you when misfortunes happen.

Mom, she is my best friend.

Beibei,

you are already an adult.

I don't interfere with

your usual activities.

But you need to have principles.

Now, don't cause trouble for Wang Ying.

That's the way you can help her.

Understand?

Old White tea, drink it.

It's good for calming down.

Sister.

You haven't sold anything yet, have you?

Right now,

we've done all the preparations.

You can say all is ready except

what is crucial.

But time is indeed a bit tight.

Can the creditors

wait with you for the opportunity to come?

Sister, listen to me.

The online store will eventually succeed.

Once I make it,

it will be my first pot of gold,

and others will have to

chase after me.

Everything

takes time.

So you need to let me take root first.

Even if you make 100 million in future,

it's too late now.

Sister...

Stop talking.

You asked me to give you a few more days.

Just sell something

before negotiating with me.

Is that really taking root?

You don't even know if your seed

has survived

in the soil.

No, if we do as you said,

it will be mortgaged.

But in the current situation,

others will definitely push the price down.

You think my approach won't work,

but how can you guarantee that

your approach will work?

I can't guarantee it.

So, that's it then.

Why don't you listen to me?

Because you haven't earned a penny yet.

What are you yelling about?

This is the department of cardiology.

The patient needs rest, you know?

Keep your voice down.

Others are resting.

Qianqian disagreed, right?

Actually, I think

what my sister said makes sense.

Now, we don't have time,

and we don't have the ability to wait.

But I believe you see farther ahead.

It's just that

we haven't found a way

to enter the online market yet.

Then I still need to secure one deal

to prove the existence of this market.

Maybe we should wait another two days.

Or maybe we're just thinking wrong.

Wait, wait, wait.

Have you logged into AliTM?

Not yet.

Log into it quickly.

What if there are guests?

You know it's just in case.

It's been so many days.

You've been training me

with so much stuff,

but it hasn't been of any use.

There are more customer service personnel

than actual customers in your store.

At this rate,

Qin Chuan will be depressed.

Qianqian said

if we can't sell a piece of furniture,

she won't let him continue doing this job.

She won't let him

do this anymore.

Qianqian is right.

In business,

we need buyers, don't we?

But the point is,

where can we find such a person for him?

Why are you looking at me?

You should be the buyer.

What?

Yes.

Register a new account

and buy a cabinet

or something in his store.

Isn't that a deal?

Why didn't I think of that?

Are you crazy?

Why should I buy a cabinet?

So stingy.

Don't worry. I'll pay you.

But I have nowhere to put it.

Just write down your delivery address.

I'll take it to my house later.

The power of love

is so great,

so magical!

It's the spirit

of self-sacrifice, Sis.

Cut the crap.

Hurry up and register.

I must tell you.

Are you sure about this?

Eight million yuan,

and you can't fill the gap

even by sacrificing all you have.

[Water-wasting Face]

Is the owner here?

We have guests.

They won't make a deal.

Help me entertain them.

Talk to them for a bit.

Mr. Qin,

this is your shop.

Hurry up.

You have to respond to them in person.

Hurry up, be quick.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

How many times have I talked with customers?

Is there anyone willing to buy anything?

Is this cabinet available in stock?

Look at this nickname:

Water-wasting Face.

How can someone with

such a low IQ be a buyer?

Let's talk to them first.

Only Psychic Lu could come up

with such unserious names.

It's settled.

What?

It's settled.

So fast?

Psychic Lu,

you're a scriptwriter,

but why don't you give us

some plot development?

Hello, dear.

Yes, it's available in stock.

The items in our shop are all in stock.

I'm going to order it now.

Just place the order, right?

Paid?

They paid?

No, check it for me.

Check Alipay for me.

Am I seeing it right?

Yeah, they paid.

Great!

Qiaoqiao!

I made it!

Congratulations, Mr. Qin.

It's done.

Package it with multiple layers

so that it won't get damaged or scratched.

No problem.

Alright, no need to overdo it.

It's solid enough.

It'll become a mummy.

No.

This is my first client.

Of course,

it's also

the pathfinder of thousands of

clients in future.

So I have to

make people feel that

when they buy things from me,

it's reliable and trustworthy.

Every detail cannot be taken lightly.

Since you're here,

help me support it.

Stop packing.

The client is already very satisfied.

No.

It must be wrapped tightly.

Yang Cheng, my dad...

Yingying, it's me.

Beibei has gone downstairs.

I saw your call

and picked it up.

Hello, Auntie.

Beibei told me

you're back too.

Come visit us some day.

I'll visit you.

Yingying.

Help me persuade Beibei.

He insisted on coming back this time,

and his dad was quite upset about it.

You guys are still students.

Don't let these

messy things

interfere with your studies,

right?

You're right.

I knew

you are more sensible than Beibei.

Say hello to your mom for me,

and take care of yourself.

Thank you, Auntie.

I won't say much more.

Bye.

Mom, why did you take my phone?

It was Wang Ying who called.

I saw it and answered it.

What did she say?

Nothing.

Mom, what are you doing?

Are you booking your ticket yourself,

or should I ask Secretary Wang to book

a ticket for you?

Go back to the UK for your study,

and don't meddle here.

No, mom.

I can't leave now.

Wang Ying is now...

Wang Ying's dad was taken away

this morning.

You should meet Wang Ying in the UK,

if you can still meet each other.

Wang Ying!

What brings you here today?

I'm going back to the UK in a few days.

I'm afraid I won't be able to

to say goodbye.

So soon?

Stop.

Sit down, young lady.

Sit down.

You don't even dislike my clothes,

do you?

Sit down.

I don't have any dislikes now.

It's a pity you're an

entertainment journalist;

otherwise, I'll sell you

an exclusive piece of news.

What news?

My dad

has been investigated.

So,

don't call me

"young lady" anymore.

As for what I'll become in the future,

it's still uncertain.

Wang Ying, let me tell you,

no matter what your family becomes

in the future,

based on our relationship in university,

you have bought me so many Amway products,

I've eaten so many snacks you gave me,

and you saw me off

at train stations so many times,

you will always

be the "young lady" in my eyes.

Look at you.

You spent money

to buy such a thing to occupy our place.

Is it useful?

I bought it online

at a discount.

Online purchases are even more unreliable.

What if it has any issues?

Who are you going to find for help?

Look at you.

Do you expect your father

to install it?

Or do you expect your uncle

to install it?

I'll do it, Grandma.

Let me do it.

Can you? You can only eat.

It's okay. Wait for me.

I'll finish unpacking,

and then you can install it.

I'm coming, coming.

Is it open?

Okay.

Who is it, Grandma?

Chuan.

Chuan is coming.

Chuan is coming?

Qin Chuan?

Why did he come here?

What's wrong?

Since Uncle Qin...

Dad, stop it.

Stop.

Hurry up.

Help me move the things to my room.

What are you doing?

Is your room spacious enough to fit it?

No.

Just leave it here.

No, no.

Move it into my room.

Well,

why should I move it into your room?

What's wrong with you?

Why are you out of breath?

I'm fine.

I just exercised.

Exercised?

Chuan.

How is your dad?

He's fine. Don't worry.

The surgery went well.

He'll be discharged soon.

That's great to hear.

It puts my mind

at ease.

You know, your mom is quite courteous.

She insisted on not letting me

visit your dad in the hospital.

The weather is still quite hot,

how could we trouble you for such things?

Right.

You won't take a taxi

and will insist on taking the bus

with your senior citizen card.

I don't mind.

Alright.

What if Uncle Qin is doing fine,

but you end up falling sick instead?

What nonsense again!

Chuan,

let me tell you.

This is wild ginseng from Northeast China,

which was given to me by an old friend.

I went to Tongrentang

and had them slice it for me.

Take it back

and let your dad soak it in water

and drink it;

it's good for his heart.

No, keep it for yourself.

Let me tell you,

my heart is much stronger

than your dad's.

Take it back. Be good.

Take it back to your dad.

OK.

I thank you on behalf of my dad.

Don't mention it.

Chuan,

you came at the right time.

Help me take a look at this.

I've been working on it for so long.

I don't know how to install it.

Dad, look at you.

Why are you so anxious?

What are you installing?

Nothing.

A cabinet.

Cabinet.

I'm good at assembling it.

Let me take a look.

So glad you're here.

Chuan.

Look at this drawer.

Some parts are missing.

If I put it in,

it can't stay in the cabinet.

How can I assemble this?

Stuck under the cabinet,

there's a plastic bag.

There are screws

and a complimentary small screwdriver.

It's really stuck under it.

How did you know that?

Because I packaged it.

Qiaoqiao.

Tell your dad the truth.

This cabinet

was actually bought from my online store.

I didn't expect

to see it at your home.

I just...

Uncle, don't bother to assemble it.

It takes too much space here.

I'll carry it away.

No, no, no.

Chuan.

Well,

our home

needs a cabinet like this.

Look.

It's solid wood. How nice it is.

Look at the drawer.

How big it is.

It can hold a lot of things.

Just leave it here.

Why leave it here?

Chuan.

Help us take a good look

if there is any problem with this cabinet.

She bought it online.

Isn't it a fake product?

Am I right?

We don't need

this cabinet at home.

I'll carry it away tomorrow

and transfer the money back to your Alipay.

Don't bother.

Didn't my grandma say

that she would like to buy it.

What a loser I am

to earn

your grandma's pension.

Don't say that.

Alright.

Go upstairs.

I'll go to visit my sister.

I'll take the time

to get things done these days.

I guess I can never drive this car

from now on.

See you.

Sister.

You're here.

I've given up the online store.

You could mortgage it.

You were right.

I took it

too simple.

If I can make big deals

by impulse

then the whole world

will be rich.

You finally got it.

Now that I think about it

I was really lucky to do pancake business

coming back from abroad.

I didn't give it a second thought.

Just started my business by impulse.

I really did it.

At that time I thought

I was really amazing.

However, life always wants

to teach me a lesson.

Life always wants to slap on my face

It was just not the time.

This slap in the face

must be accurate

and hard, pia!

Who isn't?

I knew what I'm capable of

only when I was slapped by life in the face.

I really don't understand

why many other products

could be sold online very well.

Why can't we sell our furniture?

Do you know

how our dad started his business?

Combined cabinet.

Back in the '90s,

all the families couldn't wait

to have a combined cabinet at home.

TV cabinet, wardrobe, bookshelves

are all there.

Until the year 2000

fewer and fewer people were buying cabinets.

Do you know what that means?

A combined cabinet

could be used for ten years.

Yes.

If it weren't for the demolition

our combined cabinet would still be in use.

Later, dad opened a furniture store.

If you looked at those

who came to buy furniture

you would find they came with ruler in hand.

With the development of real estate

everyone bought a new flat.

A flat is almost everything

to ordinary people.

So where

to put what kind of furniture

must be thought carefully.

If you don't

sit on this sofa yourself

would you feel assured?

This cabinet...

If you don't take a look yourself,

the material and the wood

would you dare to take it home?

But what you said

is the opposite

of the idea of e-commerce.

The reason

why people shopping online

is for convenience.

There's supply on one side

and demand on the other

The Internet brought them together.

Why can't your online store work?

At least for now

in your way

it couldn't be brought together.

That's why I said

we do top furniture business

to increase supply and demand.

On one hand

we give our customers the best

eco-friendly

custom-made, limited edition.

On the other hand

our service is the best.

Make an appointment at the store

to help you measure and choose carefully

Sister,

I concede this time.

I'm sincerely convinced.

It's okay to concede

but never give up.

[Qiaoqiao]

Boss

Are you really mad at Qiaoqiao?

She meant well.

You're so funny.

Why should I be mad at her?

I know

she did it all for me.

But the kinder she is to me

the more unwilling I am to take her

into this difficult position.

What do you mean?

This incident

really waked me up.

I once thought

I am very capable .

It felt like my family

all depends on me.

Actually

I am completely a loser.

Even Qiaoqiao secretly...

[Qiaoqiao]

helped me.

You see

how could I

take her into this bad situation?

[Qiaoqiao]

Answer it.

Boss.

Why are you

so hard on yourself?

[Qiaoqiao]

You like Qiaoqiao so much.

On that birthday...

Just because I like her

I couldn't let her

get into difficulties.

You see.

Even if I start from scratch

I would dare to let her go with me.

But what bad situation

my family is in?

We are in eight million debt.

Even if I win

a lottery worth five million tomorrow

I can't afford it.

So

my relationship with Qiaoqiao

will end here.

We can't be closer any closer.

If I take her into this difficulty

then I'm totally a jerk.

Qiaoqiao.

Qin Chuan.

Why didn't you answer my call?

My phone was muted.

I didn't hear it.

I know

I was wrong.

That was a fake deal.

It doesn't count.

But I came up with another idea.

We can distribute it in the community.

Don't bother.

My sister has mortgaged it.

I gave up the online store.

Have you made up your mind?

What's the use of it?

I can't save my family

with my ability.

Qin Chuan.

Don't be discouraged.

No matter what happens in the future

I'll always be with you.

Come on.

How can you always be with me?

You are not getting married?

Forget it.

Sister, what is this?

It's a gift from business.

Little Blue Box.

If you like

you can take it.

Thank you.

By the way

the schedule is full next week.

Shall I tell you the commercial events?

Go ahead.

Fashion entertainment dinner.

Three brand event invitations.

The 5th anniversary event of W Mall.

The new property opening ceremony

of Changjiang Real Estate.

Mr. Lu said

you could attend as you wish.

Is there an appearance fee?

Of course.

Especially the Changjiang Real Estate one.

Good money.

But I guess you won't go.

I will go.

Why not?

Check the schedule.

If there's no conflict

with work

I'll go.

My goodness.

Have you finally figured it out

or something?

I always thought

you have no concept of money.

I'Ve already been in this business.

Who not making some money?

You applied for delay graduation?

Yes.

I missed a few credits.

Plus preparing for my thesis

I won't be able to graduate in time.

Yes.

You've been too busy lately.

You don't look well.

Just take a rest.

I can't.

My schedule is full next week.

So I make a video call with you today

when I'm at home.

Otherwise

we couldn't get in touch for a whole week.

Who made the schedule?

Why don't you argue with the company?

You can't take it.

I made it myself.

Since I've already in this business

a long journey can be covered

only by taking one step at a time.

Qianxi.

We don't have to do this.

Why not?

If we laze away

these years

What's the point

for me to do this?

You're too tiring.

For us

is there an easy way out?

Qianxi.

We are just ordinary people.

Our life is much better than

that in school.

Money is not easy to make.

There's no need to fight like this.

Unless you progress

you go backwards.

Xiaozhou.

Do you want to go backwards?

That's enough of that.

Today

I saved some money

in our account.

Now the balance is 200,000 yuan.

Amazing.

It's a pity

I didn't contribute much to it.

You have plenty of chances to contribute.

I'm going to bed.

I have a plane to catch in the morning.

Go to sleep.

I love you.

Me too.

Dad.

Don't worry about that.

Cao Xiang'er in Shanghai

still owes me and Yihui money.

I have never asked him for it before.

Now that

we are in trouble

I think

for Yihui's sake

he'll pay back some money

more or less.

Daughter

Money

is easy to lend

but hard

to collect back.

Collecting the debt in Guangdong

needs at least one or two months

even half or a year.

I'll handle the issues

in Guangdong and Shanghai.

I'm really sorry.

I'm

not as well educated

as Uncle Xie.

When taking care of kids

I‘m not as good as Uncle He.

I struggled

to make some money

in order to

lead you to

a more decent life.

Who would have thought

not only did I fail

but also get you two involved in trouble.

Dad.

Consider yourself

an early retiree.

Our Qin family

are born to do business.

Now is the turn

of the third generation.

It's our turn.

Your dad is poor like this.

There's nothing for you

to inherit.

Back then

when I wanted to do business

your grandma told me

that

money can never be kept at home anymore.

Today, I'll learn from her

and tell you this.

The taxi is here.

Let's go home.

OK, go home.

Why didn't you text me back?

Are you crazy?

You came to me at this time.

You didn't you text me back

knowing you're not easy to find.

If...

If it's not inconvenient

I would knock on your door.

Are you crazy?

Go home now.

Just tell me.

Have you decided the time

to go back to England?

Not yet.

In a few days I guess.

Okay, I'll book a ticket for you.

What are you doing?

I'm flying back with you.

Yang Cheng.

Are you out of your mind?

I've booked ticket for you before.

Is it the same now?

We are classmates.

It's not a big crime

flying by the same plane?

All right, that's enough.

Watch your messages.

Pack up your luggage.

I haven't seen him for many days.

He must be mad at me.

Why did I come up with this bad idea

at this time

to add his trouble?

I've never seen Qin Chuan

so depressed.

Why don't you

just quarrel with me

ignore or hate me.

You can do whatever you want.

Just don't be depressed.

Didn't I just hurt him?

Boss is not a loser.

He just doesn't know

what to do now.

But he won't

hate you.

Because

you are the most important person to him.

Because you are the most important person to him.

When did he tell you

I'm the most important person to him?

Well

after your birthday.

Birthday?

Didn't he

remember nothing?

What else did he tell you?

Nothing.

Guo Zhilong.

Tell me the truth.

Qiaoqiao

Why didn't you ask Boss directly?

He's hiding from me.

How can I ask him?

He's hurting.

He takes you as...

As what?

Qiaoqiao don't you get it?

I can't say

these words

instead of him.

Besides,

no matter how he feels about you.

now

it's going to end.

Boss is leaving the day after tomorrow.

Where is he going?

South.

Guangdong and Shanghai.

He will help his father and sister

to settle accounts.

He said he wouldn't come back

in three or five months.

Where are you?

On the bus home.

I heard you're going south

the day after tomorrow.

I decided to

plant the red flag of revolution

in the south.

You're ambitious.

Do you need me to send you off?

Don't bother.

You have to work.

Don't say goodbye face to face?

You can support me behind my back.

That's enough.

Qin Chuan.

Why are you here?

Didn't you ask me

to support behind your back?

It's too late at night.

Go home quickly

or your grandma will blame you again.

Are you really leaving?

This is my family's last chance.

Don't you have anything

to tell me?

Don't put too much weight in autumn.

Don't get fat.

Long told me everything.

What did he tell you?

On your birthday

you weren't drunk,

right?

No.

How would he know

if I was drunk?

He wasn't there with me.

How could you tell him everything

when you were drunk?

What did I tell him?

Besides

whatever I said was just drunk talk.

How can I remember?

Fine.

I'll say it again.

I like you.

No matter what your family is

I like you.

If in the future

you need me

at anywhere

I can go with you.

My silly girl.

Go home now.

Go home.

Go.
