[ Episode 18 ]

4

Tell him in front of my elder brother,

5

did you betray him when he needed you the most?

6

Tell him!

7

If I find the proof of you murdering my brother,

8

I'll avenge you even if it means to shed blood.

9

Qianqian, where are you?

10

Can you come out and have a drink with me?

11

I'm waiting for you.

12

Sir, sir, stop drinking.

13

It's okay.

14

Get away from me.

15

- Stop drinking. You're drunk.

- Apprentice brother, stop drinking.

16

What are you like this?

17

Qianqian, drink with me.

18

No. Stop drinking. How can you be so drunk during the day?

19

It's OK. I'm not drunk.

20

Even when I'm drunk, I know who's really good to me.

21

You're one of them.

22

And Li Zhiqian.

23

Do you know?

24

I went to Li Zhiqian's graveyard.

25

But I ran into Li Zhicheng.

26

Let me tell you,

27

he always thinks I'm responsible for his elder brother's death.

28

But he had no idea.

29

Li Zhiqian was not the person who forced me out of Wenda.

30

It was his dad Li Zhongming.

31

Li Zhiqian trusted me a lot.

32

He even supported me to start my own brand.

33

How could I kill him? How could I kill him?

34

Enough. Stop drinking.

35

Apprentice brother, are you okay? Drink some water.

36

Thanks.

37

It's okay. I'm sober now.

38

You made me worried before.

39

I don't get drunk that often.

40

It felt good.

41

So Manager Li has wrongfully

42

accused you of murdering Li Zhiqian,

43

right?

44

Maybe he was right.

45

Maybe I betrayed Li Zhiqian.

46

Not only did I jump ship to the competitor's company,

47

but also taking the whole design team from Wenda there.

48

Isn't it outrageous?

49

But when we went to New Baorui,

50

he gave us the greenlight.

51

He's not only someone

52

who sees my talent,

53

but also a friend who understands me the most.

54

He realized very early that

55

Wenda had become too robust and had many sects.

56

They were in the best position to start a new brand.

57

They also couldn't choose a new route in a short period of time.

58

So in consideration of our future,

59

he let me take them out of Wenda.

60

At that time, New Baorui was expanding their market.

61

They needed the talent.

62

So I took them

63

to New Baorui.

64

If that's the case, Li Zhiqian indirectly made you go to New Baorui.

65

He was helping you.

66

Maybe he needed me the most at that time.

67

I know he did it for me.

68

He was happy for me to have a brighter future.

69

Actually, I should have chosen to stay by his side and fight together.

70

But I left.

71

No matter what,

72

it's betrayal.

73

Later, we didn't really see each other often.

74

When I started out in New Baorui, to get my footing,

75

I seized the same orders by competing with Wenda crazily.

76

And it made their situation worse.

77

But I was ignoring Li Zhiqian's position when I did something like this.

78

He was very upset and disappointed.

79

To get my footing,

80

I made my good friend

81

my enemy.

82

I feel really bad.

83

I've never told anybody

84

what I've just told you.

85

Because I didn't want anyone to know.

86

I understand, apprentice brother. I will keep the secret for you.

87

Xinyang App

88

Ms. Li.

89

Without the knight in shining armor with you, it feels strange to me.

90

Manager Chen,

91

usually you're surrounded by lots of women,

92

in such an important event today, there is no beautiful lady by your side,

93

it also feels strange to me.

94

You really like to bicker with me?

95

You started it.

96

Look, it's not the best time for us to fight today.

97

I definitely stand out among the people here.

98

What about I give you the honor

99

to be my companion? I can take you in.

100

OK?

101

I think you're like a dung beetle wearing a mask.

102

Move.

103

Dung beetle...dung beetle?

104

Stinky. With a mask.

105

She was calling me shameless.

106

Whoever is scared for a second,

107

he/she may just miss the bait released by luck.

108

This is a quote from Alexandre Dumas. For you.

109

Go for it, Meizi, you can do it.

110

Go for it, Cheng Meizi.

111

Know the trending technical beauty programs

112

and use Xinyang beauty app,

113

the Goddess in the Cloud contest is sponsored by Xinyang app

114

"If you want to be pretty, don't get impulsive. Research the price and comments on Xinyang."

115

and the clothing brand Simeiqi.

116

Let's start the countdown of the closing ceremony of "Goddess in the Cloud" contest.

117

Five, four, three, two, one.

118

Let's bring the contestants.

119

What do you think?

120

Not bad.

121

Shall we celebrate?

122

You always try to find excuse to drink with me.

123

The little girl is trying to tease you.

124

Nonsense.

125

It's a good event.

126

Cheers.

127

Cheers.

128

What happened?

129

She's supposed to be on the plane. Why is she here?

130

You did it?

131

Don't be mad.

132

She can still go to the US to study after the contest.

133

But this might be the only opportunity for Meizi.

134

Let her have it, please.

135

What are you doing? Are you leaving now?

136

If you leave now, I'll make you trend on social media tomorrow.

137

OK, let's finish the show first.

138

Cheng Meizi.

139

Look, Meizi is so confident on stage.

140

She's a completely different person from when she was interviewed by our magazine.

141

Excellent.

142

Then look at other contestants.

143

Don't you think Meizi overshadowed

144

everyone once she got on stage?

145

You should be happy and proud about a daughter like this.

146

You should cheer for her, right?

147

Dad, thank you.

148

Good. Awesome.

149

Thank you, dad.

150

Why are you here? Why are you dressing like this?

151

I'm here to apologize.

152

I don't have the invitation letter. So I had to disguise myself as a journalist to sneak in.

153

Wearing sunglasses in a place like this...

154

you're not worried you'll bump your head?

155

Right. That's why I felt the world was a bit dark.

156

You're crazy now.

157

If I don't forgive you, you'll keep following me like this?

158

Right.

159

If you don't forgive me, I'll keep following you.

160

Well, I actually have something to tell you today.

161

Remember the DJ we met that day?

162

Of course.

163

It had nothing to do with me.

164

I looked for him in the bar later and asked him what was going on that night.

165

He told me Chen Zheng paid him to

166

trick us.

167

That bastard. Wait here.

168

Don't follow me.

169

Cheers.

170

Come.

171

Answering question or drinking?

172

Who's your first love? Tell us.

173

Are you playing a game? May I join?

174

Of course. Please sit down.

175

What game?

176

Whoever gets pointed at by the wheel has to answer a question.

177

They're good at asking questions.

178

If you don't want to answer, you can drink.

179

Go on then.

180

Why is it me?

181

Let me tell you, I have no questions to answer. I'll drink the wine, okay?

182

Good.

183

Bottomed up.

184

Let me ask you, what's your impression on Mr. Chen?

185

My first impression was bad.

186

Now it's not bad.

187

So did you have a crush on him?

188

Is this my wine?

189

Cheers.

190

Keep going.

191

Why did you take me here?

192

Are we good now?

193

- Sure.

- Let's shake hands and make peace.

194

I think ritual is important in one's life.

195

Since we use to fight everytime we meet,

196

should we have a ritual to celebrate our peace?

197

Ritual?

198

-Go on then.

- Sure.

199

Pour it! Pour it! Pour it!

200

I'll count to three.

201

Three, two, one.

202

One!

203

Li Jinyuan!

204

I've warned you. Don't tease Jinyuan.

205

Who the hell are you? Why are you warning me?

206

Because I like her.

207

How do you feel? Feeling better?

208

So you actually followed me as a bodyguard?

209

I needed to protect you from Chen Zheng.

210

I can deal with Chen Zheng myself.

211

You should worry about yourself.

212

Jinyuan. Are you still mad at me?

213

I can forgive you.

214

But if you lose your temper again in future,

215

I'll make you pay the price.

216

I can guarantee you

217

it won't happen again. I will never scold you.

218

But...Jinyuan,

219

stop messing with Chen Zheng in future.

220

Hello.

221

What? When did it happen?

222

Dad.

223

Dad. Are you okay?

224

I'm good.

225

What can happen?

226

I was so scared.

227

What were you doing? Didn't I tell you to follow my dad everywhere?

228

Enough.

229

If you keep working like this, you will be fired.

230

I told you it's enough.

231

Dad!

232

Alright. Get out. Out.

233

Uncle Li. Jinyuan was worried about you.

234

I'll go check in on her.

235

Tell me,

236

why am I doing everything wrong?

237

You're not wrong.

238

You weren't considering Uncle Li's pride.

239

Think about it, your dad is a tough guy.

240

Now he needs people to look after him.

241

It crushes him so badly.

242

But you were scolding the staff saying they did a lousy job looking after him,

243

his pride was hurt.

244

But I'm his daughter.

245

Why can't he be a bit vulnerable to me?

246

I'm just trying to comfort him.

247

I think Uncle Li needs your elder brother's attention more.

248

My elder brother...

249

Brother, come back home and meet dad.

250

I heard about the two failed projects about Ankada

251

and setting up the storefront.

252

Aida wanted to work with American brand Fancy and start its own brand.

253

You elder brother used to want to start his own brand.

254

My elder brother was right. It's a better route for Wenda.

255

But he failed.

256

You think you're better than him.

257

You think you can accomplish what he failed to do?

258

The situation changed.

259

One thing is the same.

260

You and your elder brother are both simple-minded.

261

If it weren't for him trying to start his own brand and failed,

262

Wenda wouldn't end up like this.

263

Your elder brother was being too rushy.

264

Wenda's current situation wasn't just my elder brother's fault.

265

Wenda had many problems.

266

Wenda hired relatives instead of really talented people and was being close-minded.

267

A bunch of old executives wouldn't leave the core departments.

268

Those were all obstacles for Wenda's development.

269

The result is the most important thing.

270

No matter how hard you try, if the result is not good, it means nothing.

271

You made my elder brother the president of Wenda.

272

You were responsible for Wenda's problem.

273

What you're saying now is not fair to my elder brother.

274

Fairness? What's fairness?

275

If Wenda bankrupted today,

276

where would thousands of people go

277

to seek fairness?

278

You're still being emotional. Wake up, please.

279

I've woken up.

280

You'd disciplined my brother and me with military principles since we were kids.

281

We bit the bullet. But my elder brother tried so hard,

282

what did you do to him?

283

You either scolded him or blamed him on things.

284

That's trying to make you guys tough.

285

Only if you guys can swallow the bitterness, can you accomplish something amazing.

286

If you didn't give him so much pressure, he wouldn't feel so suffocated and he wouldn't...

287

Wouldn't what?

288

Wouldn't die?

289

Death is simple. Sometimes it's hard to live.

290

Your brother is a wuss. I despise him.

291

Don't be like him.

292

How's your team building? Don will be here in a few days.

293

Let me know if there's any problem.

294

I need to work on some stuff in Renhe City. I'll be back once they're finished.

295

Got it.

296

Dad, I'm leaving. Take care.

297

Li Zhiqian

298

What's up?

299

Almost every good designer has been

300

poached by Ning Weikai. They all went to New Baorui.

301

Impossible.

302

What happened?

303

You're so strange. Why did you ask me to hang out with you

304

if your legs are injured?

305

You did it on purpose.

306

Nothing. Well,

307

it's impossible for him to hire every designer.

308

We can work something out.

309

Let me handle it.

310

OK.

311

Bye.

312

Sis, New Baorui organized two teams of designer.

313

Team A is called "Dream". The team lead is Li Mengmeng.

314

Team B is called "Seeking Romance". The team lead is Zhuo Bufan.

315

They're a woman and a man. Each of them leads 7 people.

316

Most of them are finalists from different designing contest in Linhai City.

317

A few of them have lots of potential.

318

So far, I haven't found out about New Baorui's plan for them.

319

But their salary is so high. It's three times the market rate.

320

This is Li Mengmeng from Team Dream.

321

Li Mengmeng?

322

Bufan, give me the design plan from your team.

323

Not bad. It exceeded my expectation.

324

Manager Ning, it's been a while since we started to work here,

325

but we haven't decided on the positioning of the brand.

326

The two teams talked about it in private before and we all have some thoughts.

327

Would you have time to listen to our ideas?

328

The prep work of starting a brand is very important. We have to be cautious.

329

Now we are doing the prep work.

330

Don't worry. I'm happy to see you guys being so invested.

331

Well, get together all the design plans from our designers

332

and give them to me next week, okay?

333

Manager Ning. We gave you a report when we first got here.

334

I know. I've read it. I think it's too general.

335

You can elaborate the details on the design.

336

When you're really ready, we can discuss it next week.

337

Don't worry. New Baorui will definitely be the best platform for you to utilize your talent.

338

Keep it up.

339

Manager Ning. The reporter is here.

340

- Let's go.

- Okay.

341

Reporter Cai. Sorry for keeping you waiting.

342

Manager Ning, hello.

343

I want to show you around the designing department of New Baorui.

344

Our top talents are all in the designing department.

345

If you want to know New Baorui well, you can go there and interview them.

346

Manager Ning, we actually want to do a featuring interview on you.

347

Well,

348

I'm with my design team.

349

If you insist on the interview, I want to do it in the designing department.

350

It's your company. Let's follow your instructions.

351

Okay. This way.

352

Okay.

353

Let me ask you a personal question first.

354

Before Manager Ning became a successful manager,

355

I heard you had an identity you were proud of.

356

You used to be a designer.

357

How do you balance the two roles?

358

Well, when I was a designer,

359

I didn't need to think about anything but designing.

360

But as a manager, the company management is the key.

361

Different roles mean different responsibilities.

362

Manager Ning is well-spoken indeed.

363

Recently, the stock in Linhai's clothing industry is very volatile.

364

The competition is tough.

365

What do you think of the business competition?

366

I think competition means survival of the fittest.

367

It's an inevitable result of the social progress.

368

Society is progressing at such a fast speed. If a company still follows the old route

369

or the old rules, it will be eliminated.

370

Manager Ning, your point of view in the industry is so spot-on.

371

Can I ask you a few more questions?

372

Go ahead. You have all the time in the world.

373

As far as we know, when you were a designer,

374

you jumped ship from Wenda to New Baorui.

375

You also took the top design team from Wenda.

376

Seems like you've done your homework well.

377

But I want to tell you, when I took away the whole design team from Wenda,

378

it was a decision from Li Zhiqian, the former president of Wenda.

379

In private, we were also good friends.

380

Is that so?

381

You had been fighting against Wenda until Li Zhiqian passed away.

382

Wenda ended up being a sinking ship.

383

That being said, didn't you return Li Zhiqian's kindness with enmity?

384

Business is business. Personal matters are personal matters.

385

Work and personal relationship are different.

386

You jumped ship with his top team and fought against him.

387

Have you thought about the consequence of what you did to him?

388

Can I think of it like this?

389

Li Zhiqian's death has a lot to with it.

390

You're the indirect murderer of him.

391

Please show some respect.

392

Have you felt guilty about it?

393

I think the interview is over.

394

Stop filiming.

395

Thank you for your answers. I'm very happy about the interview.

396

I believe after it airs, it will make a stir.

397

Hello.

398

Hello, Lin Qian.

399

Apprentice brother, what's up?

400

Where are you?

401

I'm in the company.

402

Okay. Wait for me. I'll be there soon.

403

Go to Aida.

404

Manager Ning.

405

Qianqian.

406

Apprentice brother, what's up?

407

Yayi, you can go now.

408

Apprentice brother, what's up?

409

I thought we both cherish our relationship as apprentice brother and sister.

410

Why would you do it?

411

Do what?

412

I told you about my past with Li Zhiqian

413

when I was in Wenda.

414

But the media found out about it today.

415

Now everyone in the world thinks I'm a despicable person.

416

Why is that?

417

I...I...

418

I didn't say anything.

419

Apprentice brother. Don't jump to conclusion. Is there any misunderstanding?

420

I didn't do anything or say anything.

421

Did you really just tell me?

422

Nobody knows about it in such details

423

expect you and me.

424

If you didn't say it, who did?

425

You let me down.

426

What's the matter?

427

Ning Weikai's story is on the news. Do you know?

428

So?

429

Did you tip them off?

430

Why do you think it's me?

431

Because Ma Feng was following me. I found out about it.

432

He followed you to protect you.

433

Right. I thought he was there to protect me as well.

434

But when I talked to Ning Weikai, he was the only other person there.

435

Only he heard about it.

436

Didn't he tell you about it?

437

I understand there will be business competitions.

438

But you can't crush your enemy by doing this.

439

You're taking advantage of me.

440

I will never take advantage of my comrade-in-arms

441

and the person I trust the most.

442

Ma Feng didn't say it.

443

Who tipped it off then?

444

I...Ning Weikai blamed me on it.

445

I was wronged.

446

There's something more to it.

447

Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of it.

448

Tell me. Who's the woman who sent you the Wechat message last night?

449

Alright.

450

Mengmeng.

451

Mengmeng.

452

Hi, Sister Grace.

453

Why are you here?

454

This is...?

455

He's my boyfriend.

456

Hello, my name is Grace.

457

Your boyfriend is so handsome.

458

Look, I have it too.

459

Really? Exactly the same.

460

Right, what's going on?

461

What's the matter?

462

Look. See it? It's Manager Ning.

463

Look.

464

The inside story is so shocking.

465

I didn't know Manager Ning is a person like this. I can't believe I used to look up to him.

466

Our company's stock plunged due to Ning Weikai's personal virtue issue.

467

If we keep him as New Baorui's president,

468

there will be more loss to our company.

469

Internet news never lasts.

470

Those keyboard warriors will forget about

471

this news when they find something more shocking tomorrow.

472

But Ning Weikai's label of being morally corrupted

473

can't never be taken away.

474

The Zhu Group managed to thrive because we all stick together.

475

How can a person who betrayed his friend be the president?

476

But don't forget,

477

New Baorui can thrive is because of Ning Weikai.

478

Ning Weikai spent so much money

479

and hired every aspiring new designer in Linhai City.

480

Then what?

481

Manager Ning always says we are the rising stars.

482

But ever since we started in New Baorui, we haven't done anything meaning.

483

Why would he pay us so much?

484

I don't know.

485

I think Ning Weikai wants to be the godfather of design in Linhai City.

486

He wanted to pay a bunch of people for nothing using our group's money.

487

Chairman, board members, let me tell you

488

why I hired them.

489

Put it on the screen.

490

This is Ms. Don, a cutting-edge Chinese American designer,

491

founder of the American fashion brand Fancy.

492

Fancy is a very successful American fashion brand.

493

It combines the designer's young and bold styles with

494

American culture.

495

Such a good brand is seeking a team to

496

cooperate with in China.

497

I hired them to prepare for it.

498

I want Don to know, only New Baorui

499

has the best design team. And we are his right choice.

500

Board members, do you have any objections?

501

If there's no objection, Don will be in Linhai to do research tomorrow.

502

I'll try my best to let New Baorui be the only company he goes to.

503

Awsome.

504

Weikai. Go for it.

505

The board will back you up.

506

Weikai. I've been thinking.

507

There must be someone behind the whole slandering.

508

Could it be someone from Aida?

509

Could it be Li Zhicheng?
