Who did this to me?

Mr. Lu.

Someone pierced my tire.

Could you give me a ride?

You can take

a taxi, the subway, or the bus.

But you want a ride from your boss

on your first day of work?

Come on.

You think I pierced my tire

just to hitch a ride with you?

That being said,

I have a better reason to suspect you.

Although we're neighbors,

we should keep our distance.

(Matching vehicles for you)

Come on.

The endless trials. It's never over.

Mr. Lu.

Don't be late for work.

Qin Xun, someone pierced my tire.

I got a coffee for you.

Don't doze off on your first day.

Thanks.

I'm going to take a nap.

Isn't this Ms. Bu?

Good to see you again.

Here for work?

Kerry has joined our marketing department.

You'll be colleagues.

Kerry is a highly capable employee.

She drugged you once,

and you dare to hire her?

A wise person is magnanimous.

Get along well.

I think you have some misunderstanding about yourself.

We've become acquaintances.

We'll definitely get along.

Isn't that right, Ms. Bu?

Good morning, Mr. Lu.

Morning.

Aren't you a lucky man?

Enough with your jokes.

Bu Ran is new to the company.

Please take good care of her, Mr. Lu.

Do you have any concerns?

As long as you stay away from her,

I'll feel relieved.

Good luck on your first day.

I'm off.

Drive safe.

Bu Ran.

Mr. Lu, please.

Come in.

Hello, Ms. Yao.

I'm Bu Ran.

It's my first day here.

We met during the interview.

I'm Mr. Lu's executive assistant,

overseeing the Design and Marketing departments.

I'll handle your HR issues.

Looking forward to working with you.

We're assigning you

to the Marketing department,

as the assistant to the Marketing Director

with a three-month probation period.

Shouldn't I join the Design Dept.?

The higher-ups arranged for it.

Ms. Yao, how is her paperwork coming along?

She only has to sign.

Work for me from now on.

I assure you I'll teach you hands-on.

I...

I...

(I can't believe I'm working under Kerry. Lu Cenyang!)

(Employment Contract)

You think you can just

walk into the president's office?

I applied to be a designer.

But you made me a Marketing Assistant.

Are you messing with me?

I hired you because

I value your righteous act,

not because I recognize your ability.

Are you saying I'm not qualified to be a designer?

If you have what it takes,

I'll be

begging you to be a designer one day.

But for now,

either do your job as a Marketing Assistant,

or don't sign the contract.

Your choice.

That's not what you promised.

You said you would

make Taylor

apologize to me one day.

I'm useless in the Marketing department.

Even if I work till I retire,

I may not hear his apology.

Bu Ran,

I'm sorry for what I did.

I'm deeply sorry. I mean it.

I hope you can forgive me.

I did what I promised you.

That's something.

But you said you wanted me to grow with Pinshang.

By putting a designer

in the Marketing Dept.?

Without good marketing,

even the best design is like a solo dance

that doesn't win applause.

I hired you, hoping that

you could grow with the company.

I didn't hire you

to question everything.

If you were the boss,

would you put a defier

in a core department?

I...

Surely I'm more reliable than Kerry.

Don't you remember what she's done to you?

Kerry is an expert in marketing

with vast networking

and she's on good terms with local suppliers.

She's willing to make amends

and help Pinshang gain a foothold

in the local market.

I should put aside past grudges and employ her.

As for you...

Pinshang has many designers better than you.

Sign the contract

or tear it up.

What do you say?

I'll take the job.

Now, bring me some goji berry tea. Goji berries are good for the eyes.

I'll see if you're fit to stay.

Come in.

It's their first day at work,

and they're against each other.

I know.

You're worried because I hired Bu Ran although I know

she's from the Yi family.

You're also worried because

Kerry is not easy to deal with.

You hired two women with designs on you.

Isn't it troublesome?

I have to keep an eye on them

for you.

You saw the design for the orphanage.

Bu Ran is talented.

If she manages to survive here,

I can give Yihua a hard time

with her help.

I hope she appreciates it

and tries to stay as long as possible.

You're underestimating her.

She is tough,

motivated,

and talented in designing.

She's just a bit impulsive

and tends to act rashly.

Shaping her personality

protects her from harm.

Have you signed?

I bet you wish I'd leave.

Once you sign, I can punish you.

What did I do wrong?

Don't abuse your power.

You went to see Mr. Lu

without my permission,

which violated the employee code.

Fine.

I'll accept the punishment.

Let me bring Mr. Lu

his tea first.

I can bring it to him.

What if you drug him again?

You...

Here's your tea.

That's how you serve tea to your boss?

A designer-to-be

doesn't take care of her hands, huh?

Have you seen any designer

as hasty as you?

I destroyed my hands

while part-timing when I was studying abroad.

But my designs still scored highly.

If you want to

test me in such a petty way,

bring it on.

I won't back down.

Goji berries don't

stand the heat. Don't you know?

I'm not at your age yet.

I'm not so peculiar about goji berry tea.

Throw it away.

Make another one with 60-degree water.

You look like you want to kill me.

It's the first day.

I hope you're not upset.

Of course not.

I'll pay for the cup.

Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry.

I haven't trained Bu Ran properly yet.

Kerry.

I don't care how you

do it,

make her disciplined

as soon as possible.

Okay.

I will help her adapt as quickly as possible.

You called me

to banish me up here

to prune and soil the plants?

You didn't get my good intentions at all.

Let me put it this way,

Mr. Lu likes the plant here.

He even keeps

the pretty ones in his office.

A kindly reminder.

Don't you want to be valued?

Here is the opportunity.

Step aside.

But if you can't even take care

of the plants here,

how can I expect you

to take care of our clients?

You might as well leave.

You think you can get rid of me?

Step aside.

I'm going to work.

Mr. Li.

That's more like it.

Mr. Li.

Please train her well.

Let me know if she's slacking off.

Alright.

I really hope Mr. Lu can see

the true color of his close friend

and how she gets kicked out.

Just trim those plants.

Mr. Li.

My apologies.

I was a bit emotional

and spoke recklessly.

My mom loves gardening.

Me too.

Just tell me if there is

anything to do.

I feel sorry for you.

I'll handle the heavy labor.

Just act busy.

It's alright.

Landscaping is also part of spatial design.

I do need someone to teach me gardening.

Okay.

Look.

The flower branch

should be pruned from here.

Alright.

Chairman.

Bu Ran entered Pinshang today.

Today?

Yeah.

How dare she lie to me?

She said she had joined them when she came to ask

for her mother's medical fees.

And she didn't accept the new task assigned to her.

It seems she's determined to work for Lu Cenyang.

Should we do something about it?

I've put someone else in Pinshang.

Let's keep Bu Ran

for now.

I have my plan.

You're lucky to finish work so early.

Do me a favor.

Take out the trash on your way.

Why does a marketing assistant

keep coming to our design department?

I hope you don't break something.

Meeting time.

Okay.

Pass around the materials.

Take this.

We're working on the design

of the Welfare Center.

I hope everyone can give

their full effort.

We all know

its significance to society.

Okay?

This is the preliminary model.

(What a great vibe.)

(I wish I could join them.)

Coming early to please the boss?

Relax.

I'm just bringing him a cup.

Desperate to improve his impression of you.

I feel so sorry for you.

You're toiling away for nothing.

No need.

I've reviewed

all the proposals again and again.

In the end, I still prefer Ms. Bu's design.

Her design is thoughtful

and it takes into account every child's wishes.

Ever since I saw her design,

nothing else has been able to please me.

She chose inexpensive but unique materials

to realize the kids' vision.

Some need to be customized.

So it may take a long time to prepare.

Cenyang.

You once longed for a bedroom that wouldn't leak water

and could keep you warm.

Nowadays,

the living conditions are very good.

We need to give the kids what they want,

instead of what we want for them.

I see.

I'll do as you say.

Alright.

A prince and a princess are taking care of the orphanage.

I'm looking forward to it.

Prince and princess?

Haven't you heard the kids say?

You are handsome.

Ms. Bu is beautiful.

You are just like a prince and a princess together.

The little ones call you that.

I find it quite amusing.

You're not favoring Bu Ran's design because you want to

set me up with her, right?

If so, I will get another designer.

Business is business.

Come in.

Boss.

Here is your schedule today.

Nice gilded cup.

It's from Bu Ran.

I'll throw it away if it affects

your mood.

It's not easy to fix it.

I won't rush to make my position clear.

Have this one.

Kerry is either busy bullying Bu Ran

or trying to please you.

It does look quite misleading.

You're right.

I wanted her to temper Bu Ran's temperament.

But she revealed her true color so fast.

What should we do next?

Let things unfold.

I see.

So I'll be outside.

Ms. Yao.

Nice cup.

Thank you.

Mr. Lu.

Ms. Yao gave me the project of wedding home

of Mr. Liu's son.

I've called Mr. Liu

and made arrangements.

I think we can start with small projects.

We may get a chance for greater collaboration.

Kerry.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

It's my duty. I'll take my leave now.

Any update on the orphanage?

The director picked Bu Ran's proposal.

Her talent and responsibility

make her the best candidate.

But aren't you worried

that Yihua might use her to stir up trouble?

Let's prioritize the wishes of those kids.

Bu Ran fits this project the best.

She wants to do something for the orphanage.

It may be her true wish.

But finalizing it with her

might expose our plans to Yihua.

I suggest we wait a few more days.

Good point. Let's hold off for a bit.

Get Mr. Lu here.

Show me his sincerity

if he wants to cooperate with me.

Sorry, Mr. Liu.

Don't give me that.

Mr. Liu.

What's wrong?

Who made you

so upset?

What designer did you assign to me?

Are you trying to fool me?

Or do you think my son doesn't deserve anything better?

This is an insult.

Mr. Liu.

We are experts in design.

Please tell me what you want

in detail.

We will make changes

until you are pleased.

Look at your design.

So simplistic. There is nothing.

So embarrassing.

Take a look at the Yihua's showrooms.

Make comparisons.

Their place is splendid, luxurious, and high-class.

Don't you know why you're trying

to approach me?

What the heck is this?

You really got us wrong.

This is

a wedding house for your son.

So our designers adopted

the current trends for young people.

We'll design another version

according to your preferences.

Please calm down, Mr. Liu.

No need for such trouble.

I came here to show Mr. Lu

that I don't feel respected.

This is not good for our potential cooperation.

Mr. Liu, please calm down.

Mr. Liu.

Bu Ran.

Come here.

Come here.

Come over.

Well...

Talk to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu.

She is Bu Ran, my staff.

She majors in design.

She can talk to you.

Mr. Liu.

Can you spare me the time for a coffee?

Of course, I can do that.

I'd love to hear any good ideas you might have.

Alright, this way, please.

Come in.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Liu is very upset about the design

for his son's wedding house.

He came over to make a fuss.

I finally calmed him down.

He is in the reception area.

Will you talk to him?

I'll deal with him.

Get Bu Ran here.

I have a task for her.

Bu Ran is dealing with Mr. Liu right now.

Your coffee, Mr. Liu.

You make better coffee

than my secretary.

I'll write down

the tutorial for you.

Ms. Bu,

we've met before.

Do you remember me?

It was an industry gathering.

You were stunningly beautiful.

I can't forget those white shoes you wore.

I remembered you instantly.

If you like them,

I'll send you the link.

It's really nice to talk to you.

To be honest,

I know very well about Yihua's style.

They use the priciest materials

to make you feel extravagant

as if it shows your status.

But in fact, they're just making money from you.

Think about it.

Yihua tries to equalize extravagance to aesthetics.

Their design resembles

that of a tacky nightclub.

Your dressing style shows how exquisite you are.

Those flashy designs can't please you.

Yeah.

I want something better than Yihua.

That's why I came to you.

I checked my colleague's design.

It's just missing the grandeur touch you desire.

Absolutely!

I want it grandeur and cultured.

The old design

was too petty.

Look.

I've simplified the structure

and canceled some walls.

The whole place forms a cohesive whole

like an ink painting with an intended blank.

It has layers and depth.

We can add

some elements

of the study and gardens to it,

making it grandiose and showcasing your taste.

Of course.

These are just some suggestions.

We'll come up

with better ideas if we talk more.

You're right.

We must talk more.

I'm very happy about

your ideas.

I'll talk to Mr. Lu

and make you the designer.

And your cooperation with Mr. Lu...

Judging from your talent,

I have all the confidence in Pinshang.

Bu Ran, haven't you learned the rules

as a newcomer?

You think you're qualified to serve Mr. Liu?

I...

Mr. Liu.

Bu Ran is new here.

She's eager to

gain approval.

Her remarks and design

are nothing representative.

Please forgive us if she has

offended you.

I'll take over from now on.

Kerry, take her away.

Okay.

Mr. Liu, take your time.

Let's go.

Mr. Liu, please take a seat.

You must have overcome

the resistance from Yihua to come here.

We're alone now.

Feel free to name

your demands.

You're so straightforward.

I make money to be happy.

Just offer me

a higher share than Yihua does.

I'd love to help you

make money through collaboration.

I can offer you

a higher share to get you

from Yihua.

You're a smart guy.

Also, I'd like to invite Ms. Bu

for a drink and talk about design after work.

Is that alright?

Mr. Liu,

I'd love to work with you

for mutual benefit.

But you shouldn't be here if you want to

harass my employees.

She's just an employee.

Why are you so protective?

Is there anyone willing

to betray Yihua and work with Pinshang?

I meant well by offering to work with you.

Are you going to fall out with me

for an employee?

I favor partners who act independently

without strings attached,

rather than the pets of Yihua

who don't respect women.
