Episode 14

4

The most popular buildings in the best location

5

are Linhai Plaza and Danzi Plaza.

6

Although Linhai Plaza is a famous landmark,

7

the surrounding infrastructure is a bit old.

8

So I think our shop should be in Danzi Plaza.

9

The operation is good and there are a variety of brands. It's also very popular.

10

Are you listening to me?

11

Grace found out.

12

So?

13

She wants to quit.

14

I knew it.

15

Typical Grace.

16

Then what should we do? Should we proceed?

17

Of course.

18

But Grace withdrew the fund. How can we start a brand?

19

I won't let her quit.

20

No matter if you can persuade her or not, I need to let you know the problem.

21

Having our shop in Danzi Plaza is very hard.

22

First, they have very high requirements on the brands.

23

Second, the slots are too popular.

24

There is no vacancy for the whole year.

25

I've met Manager Wu from their commerce department.

26

They were very aloof to the idea of us starting a storefront there.

27

I know. I'll follow up on Danzi Plaza.

28

You're in charge of Linhai Plaza.

29

If Danzi Plaza is not possible, we will have something to fall back on.

30

OK.

31

Why haven't I seen Manager Li lately?

32

Move.

33

I've asked those military men, they said they hadn't seen him either.

34

It's not like him.

35

Thank about it, when you're working on the Mingsheng project.

36

He spent the time to work late with you every day and every night.

37

But why when it comes to the Ankada project,

38

he's not so keen?

39

Manager Li...

40

maybe he

41

just has his own style.

42

We should just do our own job well.

43

Nonsense. It's not that simple.

44

Li Zhicheng is such a sly fox.

45

Who knows what's under his sleeves?

46

Manager Li, you're here?

47

Manager Li, I was saying you were so handsome.

48

You're so handsome that so many people have fallen...

49

Qian Qian, you scared me!

50

I was reminding you.

51

His soldiers all have good eyes and good ears.

52

If you speak ill of him,

53

- he will find out sooner or later.

- Right.

54

I...

55

I didn't speak ill of you.

56

I was saying you're very handsome. You're the most handsome man on earth.

57

Have you heard? You have heard it, right?

58

President Zhu, look.

59

If I'm not mistaken, is it smoky eyes you have?

60

You look like somebody beat you.

61

Chen Zheng scolded Cheng Meizi?

62

Chen Zheng must haven't read the magazine. He's doomed this time.

63

Cheng Meizi participated in the contest because she wanted to be famous.

64

But she ended up getting humiliated by Chen Zheng.

65

This is our good opportunity.

66

Good. Next.

67

Stay on stage longer.

68

Watch your tempo.

69

Walk faster.

70

Next.

71

- My...

- You prick.

72

Who?

73

Look at what you did!

74

Arrogant and rude!

75

Where is your brain?

76

Stop it!

77

Do you care about your face?

78

Dad, it's my fault this time.

79

Now the whole world has known we did it.

80

And we screwed it up.

81

People are all waiting to see us look bad.

82

They're waiting for us to quit, understand?

83

Dad. I was thinking if we took on the order,

84

we wouldn't be considered as a marketing firm with no real power.

85

By the time, we can expand our production line.

86

I knew it.

87

But you always tell me we can't give up in the middle of the road.

88

But the problem is

89

you humiliated the daughter of our big client.

90

Ms. Cheng, hello.

91

I'm the vice chairman of the Zhu Group. My name is Zhu Hanchong.

92

This is my business card.

93

Our group has a semi-famous brand called New Baorui.

94

I believe you've heard of us.

95

Mr. Zhu, how can I help you?

96

Well, I've read the interview from this magazine.

97

Your photo attracted me a lot.

98

We are looking for a representative for our brand.

99

I want the representative to be pure, pretty, innocent, and noble.

100

These are exactly your qualities.

101

So you want to...?

102

We want to invest a lot of money on the next magazine.

103

By the time, your pictures will show up everywhere in Linhai City.

104

Where are you going?

105

I'm planning to go to Danzi Plaza on my own.

106

What's up?

107

People from Linhai Department of Commerce want to investigate here later.

108

They specially said they wanted to me our director of design.

109

Then have Lin Qian greet them.

110

- It's a very normal business greeting then.

- But Lin Qian is in charge of Ankada's bidding.

111

And she will definitely ask what are those people doing here from Linhai Plaza.

112

What should I tell her?

113

She doesn't know we are planning to start our own brand.

114

I think you don't have to hide it from her.

115

But don't give her too many details.

116

Just tell her we will definitely start our own brand in the future.

117

It's hard to find a good location for our storefront. So we are working on it now.

118

Let's go.

119

Then let's act separately.

120

Lin Qian.

121

Are you busy?

122

- I need to tell you something.

- See you later then.

123

OK.

124

The director of commerce from Linhai Plaza will be here soon. They want to meet you.

125

Meet me?

126

Why?

127

They are here to investigate.

128

Aida is planning to get a storefront there. We are thinking about starting our own brand.

129

Not right now. We are just preparing for the future.

130

Linhai Plaza is in a luxurious business district.

131

Storefronts can be quite hard to get.

132

You know, the most important part of a brand is its designer.

133

Designer is the soul. That's why they want to see you.

134

OK.

135

Miss Cheng.

136

Miss Cheng, it's been a long time.

137

You remember me, right?

138

Miss Cheng studies music.

139

I actually like to listen to music in my spare time, we can talk about it

140

Right?

141

Miss Cheng, I m here to apologize.

142

I m sorry, I don't know you.

143

We have met twice, you can't say you don't know me.

144

What do you want?

145

I m here to apologize, sincerely.

146

Last time in the show, what I said was for the show.

147

If miss Cheng is mad about me for that.

148

I m really sorry.

149

Okay, I accept your apology, you can go now.

150

Really? Then we are friends right?

151

Why did you getting in my car for?

152

Miss Cheng, if we are friends, you don't mind giving me a ride, do you?

153

Didn't you have a car?

154

That car, my dad

155

needed it. He called him back.

156

I didn't expect you to act so shamelessly.

157

You are not afraid people will laugh at you?

158

You can say it like this. I don't treat everyone like that.

159

Let's go. Let me treat you a meal.

160

Please get off the car. I don't want to have a meal.

161

You became a social media start the first time we met.

162

If you want to keep being famous, you need me.

163

Because when it comes to hyping it up, I'm your best bet.

164

I went to the factory to see the sample.

165

But you only have functional outfits.

166

Linhai Plaza needs women fashionable clothes.

167

That's great.

168

Lin Qian graduated from Saint York University.

169

She majored in clothing design.

170

Except for this project, do you have other successful cases?

171

Manager Song, you came at a bad time.

172

Our mother company Wenda has this project.

173

So Lin Qian's design drafts are all there.

174

We take designers' previous experience very seriously.

175

But it's OK. Let's see.

176

Lian Qian has the habit of

177

taking down her inspiration.

178

Original design?

179

People usually are very passionate when in college.

180

But keeping the passion a few years after graduation is very rare.

181

We designers have the habit of

182

taking down inspiration popping up in our brains.

183

But your design might not be appealing to the general public.

184

What does the general public read?

185

They read fashion magazines.

186

They read about what's trending overseas.

187

The simplest and most convenient way is...

188

Copying big brands.

189

She's so smart.

190

But Manager Song, I'm a designer. Not a copycat.

191

I'm not a "carrier" of other brands.

192

In my opinion, copying equals plagiarism.

193

We can't...

194

I think we should maintain

195

the original intention of design.

196

And I'm quite busy.

197

Sorry, Manager Gu. I'll excuse myself. Sorry.

198

Bye.

199

Well...

200

Manager Song, about our cooperation...

201

We'll talk about it later. I'm busy. See you next time.

202

- Hello.

- Hello. Do you have an appointment?

203

I'm Li Zhicheng, the CEO of Aida Group. Can you tell Manager Wu

204

Aida is very keen on meeting him?

205

OK. Give me a moment.

206

Hello, this is the front desk. Manager Li from Aida Group wants to meet Manager Wu.

207

OK. One moment.

208

Sorry, Manager Li. Manager Wu is busy. He can't meet you.

209

It's OK. I can wait.

210

Well, you can't meet Manager Wu without an appointment.

211

Maybe you can leave me your phone number and I can schedule an appointment for you.

212

OK, thank you.

213

- This is my business card.

- Alright.

214

Hey, Monkey. Help me look into a car.

215

Don't ask questions. I'll send you the picture. Look into it.

216

But maybe it's a fake plate.

217

He planted a GPS on my car.

218

When you have time, do a thorough examination on my car and see anything is missed.

219

You said you wanted to treat me and you brought me here?

220

Yes. Ms. Cheng, you don't like it?

221

No. I like it here.

222

But my dad doesn't allow me to eat these.

223

If I'm treating you out, luxurious food will be too cliche.

224

So this is what you're pulling. If she's innocent,

225

make her experience luxurious stuff.

226

If she's well experienced, then take her to the merry-go-around.

227

That's not a good analogy. Ms. Cheng,

228

you're very otherwordly.

229

You are not very down-to-earth.

230

So I'm representing the human on earth to invite you back to earth.

231

What are you thinking about?

232

When I was in college, my dad sent a nanny to follow me.

233

One time, I sneaked out because I wanted to have a late meal.

234

But my dad scolded me and my classmates.

235

Since then, nobody was willing to hang out with me.

236

Then you should really thank me.

237

I can help you make up for what you didn't get to have when you were younger.

238

The late meal is just step one.

239

Sorry, the flight was delayed.

240

You had to wait this long.

241

It's OK. I'm very grateful for you to be here.

242

This is the first time we meet a designer as detail-oriented as you are.

243

Previously when our company changed the uniform,

244

no designer had never done research on us stewardesses.

245

This is what I'm supposed to do.

246

You're going to be wearing the uniform. Of course I need your opinions.

247

What do you want to drink?

248

It's OK. Thanks.

249

We brought the brown sugar water.

250

Is it hard for you to be here at this time?

251

No. This is our occupational habit.

252

As flight attendants, we all experience severe cramps during menstruation.

253

It's like our occupational disease.

254

So tell me, what's your advice or thoughts on the new uniform?

255

Like fabric or style?

256

Where is it?

257

Right here. So careless.

258

Don't show me such stupid design next time.

259

It will be a shame for Simeiqi.

260

Manager Chen, sorry. We'll work on the revision now when we go back.

261

You don't need to go back. Now, let's brainstorm.

262

Tell me your ideas.

263

Nobody wants to say anything?

264

It's OK. I'll start first.

265

What's Ankada's requirements on the uniform?

266

Eye-catching!

267

What about your plans? So old-fashioned and boring.

268

How can you attract people's attention?

269

We've learned from lots of uniforms from foreign airlines.

270

Learning is not copying.

271

Do foreign women have the same body type as Chinese women?

272

You design

273

lacks Chinese women's beauty.

274

I hope you guys can pay more attention this time.

275

[ Cost of materials ]

276

Dad, why are you here?

277

You've made such a big mistake for me.

278

Of course, I'll try my best to make amends.

279

Dad, I've said sorry to Cheng Feng's daughter.

280

Don't worry. What we lost on public image, I'll get it back on the design.

281

From today on, I'll keep a close eye on the department of design.

282

I've seen it just now.

283

I've never seen you being so serious

284

about something.

285

Dad, I'll definitely get the Ankada project.

286

Linhai Plaza is not possible anymore.

287

So we have to win over Danzi Plaza.

288

We have to try hard on Manager Wu.

289

We can pay multiple visits. Eventually he will meet us.

290

The prerequisite of multiple visits is that

291

the person has to be willing to meet.

292

It's not that we can't meet Manager Wu.

293

He just doesn't want to meet us.

294

We have to come up with something then.

295

Danzi Plaza is the best business center of the city, which has the best traffic.

296

If we can have a storefront there and be among other high-end brands.

297

Our image will be so much improved.

298

I have an idea.

299

What idea?

300

Grace.

301

I've found highly logical way of thinking

302

and highly structured questions

303

are just as powerful as the answer.

304

How did you find it here?

305

Hurry, come in.

306

Ankada's project is truly inviting.

307

If Aida can win the bid,

308

our company's position in Linhai's clothing market will be improved.

309

40,000 sets of uniform have to be finished within a month.

310

If we can't finish it before the deadline,

311

Aida has to face the high penalty fee.

312

It may put us in bankruptcy.

313

I can't involve the H Group in such danger.

314

I also can't put you in a risk like this.

315

I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose.

316

I was planning to try more things. Before settling on a specific plan,

317

I wanted to try a few more times.

318

I've asked Yanzhi to research on it. Once it's confirmed,

319

we will share our plan with you.

320

It's OK. In the future, if you're in trouble like this, you should tell me in advance.

321

We can get together and work out a plan.

322

OK. It's in the past now.

323

I also apologize for my attitude before.

324

Stop dwelling on it then.

325

Manager Ning, what do you think?

326

The posters are pretty good, right?

327

They look good.

328

Manager Zhu, you did a lot this time.

329

Come in, please.

330

Chairman.

331

Weikai, it's you.

332

Please sit.

333

We've had the financial statement of the first quarter. I've sent it to Hanjing.

334

So I decided to see you on the way.

335

How's the company doing?

336

You're talking about the Ankada project?

337

Manager Zhu is investing a lot of energy. He works very proactively.

338

He's keeping a close eye on this project.

339

You came a long way to see an old man like me.

340

Not just "on the way", right?

341

Don't beat around the bush.

342

Chairman, I still want to talk to you about

343

starting a new brand.

344

Last time when you told me you wanted to start an independent brand,

345

I was a bit worried.

346

Starting a brand needs superb conditions.

347

Aida was just starting out.

348

Are you sure you're well prepared for it?

349

Actually, it's also my elder brother's wish

350

to start our own brand.

351

I will take what you said into consideration.

352

Please join us again.

353

Since you mentioned your elder brother, I have to warn you,

354

it's not me not wanting you to start your own brand.

355

I just don't want you to repeat your brother's mistake.

356

I think it takes time to start a new brand.

357

Previously we didn't have enough time to prepare.

358

It was too rushy.

359

What's your plan?

360

First of all, we need to focus on the storefront.

361

We need to open a store in a prime location to support our brand.

362

Then it's about marketing and promotion to spread the word.

363

I think right now,

364

we can cooperate with international brands and famous designers.

365

We can co-release products.

366

It's like our cooperation with Aiqi and Langwen.

367

Sounds good.

368

Now I've had someone in mind for the designer.

369

As for the storefront, I've heard there will be

370

a vacant spot in Danzi Plaza.

371

We can fight for it.

372

But there comes the budget.

373

Because Aida is also fighting for the storefront.

374

As far as I know, they have very high requirements on the brands.

375

If Aida starts a brand, it will be a small-medium brand.

376

Danzi Plaza will never take small to medium brands.

377

So Aida needs your help.

378

I can give you the budget.

379

But it won't be much.

380

- But...

- But I need to tell you,

381

not everything can

382

be taken care of with money.

383

Is this the USB drive you were talking about?

384

Let me see.

385

New Folder

386

This is not the drive.

387

This is the one I broke in Yun'nan.

388

I asked you to look for the one on your table.

389

There are so many trivial items on your table.

390

I don't have the time. I'll look for it when I have the time.

391

Qian Qian, there's something

392

I have to tell you.

393

What's the matter? Why are you looking like this?

394

Something serious.

395

Well...

396

Yesterday, I was running errands

397

and I met Manager Li.

398

Guess who was he with.

399

Who?

400

He's having a meal with Grace.

401

Is this something serious?

402

They are just friends. It's very normal for them to have a meal together.

403

Friends? Why do they meet so frequently?

404

They almost meet 5 days a week.

405

Maybe they have to discuss their work.

406

Can you not think about these useless things?

407

Pay more attention to your work.

408

Well, I've already told you such an important matter.

409

It's up to you to take it seriously or not.

410

I'm going now. Get home early.

411

Bye.

♫ It's so gentle. ♫

414

♫ I believe ♫

I'm OK.

♫ Until a while later ♫

424

What should we do? The coffee beans got scattered.

425

I'm OK. I can just drink express coffee.

426

I can't do it.

427

♫ In the picture frame. ♫

428

I...

429

I'll find something to clean it up.

430

He went out for a meeting?

431

Thanks.

432

Hello, Cindy. Look into Manager Wu from Danzi Plaza's schedule.

433

I hope we can have a good chance to talk about the storefront in Danzi Plaza.

434

OK. Hurry.

435

Hey, Grace.

436

Well, are you also here for Danzi Plaza's storefront?

437

Since when the H Group decided to have an offline shop?

438

It's none of your business what H Group wants to do.

439

I only want to warn you.

440

It will do you no good to do it.

441

Don't trash the H Group's brand.

442

Good move. Good move.

443

No, no, no. I'm a bit rusty.

444

- What?

- Manager Cheng,

445

you're not rusty at all. I think your skills are getting better and better.

446

- Let's do it again.

- Manager Chen,

447

stop playing. Let's have some respect. One more round.

448

OK, OK. You're right.

449

That's right.

450

Awesome! That's awesome!

451

- That's some international level skill!

- I'm finding the feel.

452

- Hello.

- Sis, let me tell you...

453

Calm down. Tell me.

454

I've found it. Manager Wu is a member of the Tibetan Antelope Protection Society

455

It's affiliated with our charity fund. They're planning to have a charity gala soon.

456

Manager Wu is one of the candidates to receive the awards.

457

Awesome. Put me on the gala.

458

OK, no problem.

459

Manager Cheng. I've learned from the news that you added a few more airlines.

460

Your work is getting busier and busier.

461

I bet you have less time to practice golf now.

462

I have to get involved with the company matters.

463

But I still need to work out.

464

That's right.

465

Manager Cheng, what you said sounds like a piece of cake,

466

but it's truly meaningful. I remember when I first got out to do business,

467

I had to take the plane to go abroad.

I was very worried. I didn't know which airline to choose.

469

- In the end, I ended up choosing your airline.

- Why?

470

Safe, comfortable,

471

and professional. Besides,

472

look, I've also applied for the lifetime platinum card.

473

Thank you for your support to Ankada.

474

You're too polite. It's all because of your great leadership. So the passengers don't have to worry.

475

So professional.

476

Chen Zheng, come here.

477

Manager Cheng, here's the thing. A little while ago, my dumb son

478

had some misunderstanding with your daughter.

479

So I specially asked him here to apologize to you.

480

Hope you can be generous and forgive him.

481

Uncle Cheng. I didn't know it was your daughter.

482

I'm so sorry. Today I'm here to apologize.

483

I'm sorry.

484

Can you be more sincere?

485

Uncle Cheng. Sorry. I made a mistake.

486

Have a sip.

487

It's OK. Young people messing with other.

488

It's alright.

489

Besides, Simeiqi is actually...

490

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine.

491

Here, wipe your mouth.

492

Actually I wanted to say, our company...

493

Well, if you're here to play golf with me today, let's focus on the golf. As for the business matter,

494

we can talk about it later.

495

- OK.

- Let's go.

496

Dad, it's hard to watch.

497

We don't have to be hangdogs for one deal. I can't watch it anymore.

498

Can we not be like this?

499

You think it's losing face?

500

Do you know when I started out,

501

I got almost every deal by losing face.

502

You've grown up now. Why don't you have any crisis awareness?

503

Let me tell you, if Ning Weikai

504

or Li Zhicheng get stronger,

505

you will be easily crushed by them. Right now, the most important thing for us

506

is to take every opportunity.

507

As your dad, I was being so humble today to beg him, to beg for the project,

508

did I just do it for myself?

509

But dad... I feel so ashamed to see you act like this.

510

Ashamed?

511

Let me tell you, if you want to do something, do it 100%.

512

As a businessman, your short-term interest is essential. If you give it up,

513

that will be our biggest shame,

514

understand?

515

I didn't know before. Now I know, dad.

516

Look.

517

Dear passengers, we have Dongpeng drink,

518

coke, orange juice, and tea. What do you need?

519

I think the goddess looks so nice in blue.

520

The blue outfit makes her look less dark

521

- and her legs not so short.

- You...

522

Isn't the bowtie too big?

523

Way too big. I'm not an infant.

524

Look at it, it's like a bellyband.

525

I'll revise it. What else are you uncomfortable about?

526

- Sister Qian.

- Yes?

527

It's too skinny.

528

If I don't hold my breath, the skirt will explode.

529

It's ripped open.

530

Don't worry. Not every flight attendant is as fat as you.

531

This is just the sample. It doesn't have to fit your body.

532

Manager Wu, your speech was so characteristic.

533

You're being too nice.

534

Thanks a lot for your donation.

535

It's what I'm supposed to do.

536

Manager Li, you've personally trained anti-theft squad to protect the Tibetan antelops.

537

It's so cool.

538

Manager Wu. I'm actually here to ask you a favor.

539

Aida really hopes to enter Danzi Plaza.

540

We can talk about the terms later.

541

Although I think highly of you two,

542

I also have my reason.

543

Danzi Plaza has many hard requirements for new brands.

544

At this moment, Aida is not qualified.

546

♫ Making me wait in the ashes of time. ♫

547

♫ I wait for you in the green grass. ♫

548

♫ We missed each other but I can still feel your temperature. ♫

549

♫ I understood it because of love. ♫

550

♫ Understood your admiration. You love for the sake of love. ♫

553

♫ You're no longer on the lonely platform. ♫

554

♫ You left with the memory of a city. ♫
