Episode 33

Jin Yuan!

What's wrong?

My apologies, I said what I said...

simply as a mean to drive
Gu Yan Zhi away. Nothing more.

I understand.

You want him to focus on work.
You don't wish him to have false hope.

I am glad you understand.

Jin Yuan, you refused Gu Yan Zhi...

because you have feelings for me.

Don't be ridiculous.

Stop lying to yourself.

Will you give me your phone?

- What do you want?
- Will you?

Ninety percent of the people
you follow are girls.

They are mostly internet celebrities.

And you stay in contact
with several of them.

Those are all in the past.

This is the last friend you added.

The time is 9.30 p.m..

You were still waiting while
I was shooting in the studio.

A girl who had a nice
little chat with you, a model.

I was putting up an act.
I am making friends.

I don't want an act.

What I want is to be simple.

I want loyalty.

A conventional, old-school love.

Jin Yuan.

Nothing is absolute in this world.

You don't have to be so serious.

You are clearly unable to resist me.

Chen Zheng, I want you
to listen closely.

I may not love Gu Yan Zhi,

but compared to you,

he is much more important to me.

I don't like you.
You got it wrong.

When people lie,

the pulse will increase.

You can't hide it.

You...

Madam Geng.

Why are you still here?

I couldn't bear to leave.

No photos allowed.

Madam Geng, I know the fabrics
waved from the jacquard loom...

is irreplaceable even by
modern technologies.

They are amazing.

You know quite a lot.

Come, can you guess what
kind of embroidery is this?

This?

This would be Han embroidery.

Yes, Han embroidery may look
graceful on the outside,

no one knows how much efforts
are put into making it.

The petals on plum blossom used
plain stitches for layered-shadings.

The golden mountain below
used couched-gold stitches,

making the overall patterns
grand and elegant.

If this is a work of a master,

it would take at least two months.

Can tell which stitches are
used in this embroidery?

Numerous stitches are used
in this yellow crane tower.

The stitches used in
the plum blossoms are...

plain stitches.

The centre of the slower
used seed stitches.

Threaded running stitches
for the clouds.

The straight stitches for the pines.

Long-and-short stitches
for the pillars.

And the stitches on the cranes
are slanted-cross stitch.

Am I right?

Not bad.

Not many of the designers
can tell the differences.

Thank you, Madam Geng.
I really do like them.

I personally think that
an outstanding designer...

should have some knowledge
about traditional art.

How much are you willing to
give up for this interest?

- Everything.
- Impossible.

You are used to the life in city.

This is different.

I just want to empty my mind
and learn the art of Xue Yan Twill.

Emptying your mind?

Many girls stayed
in our inn for days,

claiming to be
emptying their thoughts.

But they mostly just took some photos
and post them in social media.

They are simply pretending.

That is not how it is done.

To empty one's thoughts,
it's like making a Han embroidery.

You need to be calm and focus.

Even a single mistake
will ruin the whole embroidery.

Teacher, I really do
like Xue Yan Twill.

I like embroidery too.

I studied designing
when I was in university,

But I do have some
understandings about...

traditional stitchings and fabrics.

Since you know a thing or two about
traditional Chinese fabrics,

I'll put your wits to the test.

Hello?

How is your mission going on.

Using Jin Yuan...

makes me feel like a lowly jerk.

For the sake of your family business,
this is nothing.

Besides, you are not truly
in love with Jin Yuan anyway.

Am I right?

Fine, I know what must be done.

Later.

What I want is to be simple.

I want loyalty.

A conventional, old-school love.

True love?

Did I ever have that?

That's because you were
never serious in love.

So, do you want to
be the first to cry?

Me?

I won't shed a tear for a bad...

Wait!
Delete that!

We shall name this photo...

'The First Time Chen Zheng
Cheers A Girl Up'.

First time?

You have one week to pay me the money.

Also, if you are broke,
stop bothering me.

I am busy.
My schedule is full.

Waiter!
The bill!

Nowadays all girls are materialists.

Why would I think of her now?

I must be delusional.

There are five different clothes here.

If you can tell which
is Xue Yan Twill, you will pass.

Okay.

I will hold you to your words.

The Shu Brocade of Szechuan,
'The Bumper Harvest'.

This is the Tu Clan's Brocade
from Longshan, Hunan.

This is the Mongolian Na Shi Shi,

gold-weft Brocade
with couched gold thread.

This is the Ice Silk Brocade
made from ice silks.

And this is...

This is...

The last piece must be Xue Yan Twill.

No.

Madam,

there is no Xue Yan Twill here, right?

The last cloth is...

- Bei Brocade?
- This is Xue Yan Twill.

It can't be.
There are gold threads on it.

How can it be so light with
gold threads on it?

This is the Gilt Peacock Silk.

Hidden patterns are weaved
into the Xue Yan Twill.

No commoner is capable of making this.

The master of our master...

merged gold-leaf with gold sheet,
making them into gold foil.

It must then undergo
thousands of hammerings...

and the angle must be readjusted
through sharp senses,

slowly widening the gold foil.

This is no ordinary craft.

I have never seen it before.

You can stay here.
Clear a room for her at the west wing.

Sure.

You should thank her.
Master just accepted you.

Thank you, Master!

Yes!

Welcome back.

Thank you, Uncle Xue.

The company is doing well.

- Come, have a look at your office.
- Sure.

Zhi Cheng.

What is going on here?

Did the people from human resources
make a mistake?

No, this is the place they arranged.

How can you let Mr. Li
have such a tiny office?

What's wrong with you?

Go!

I want you to get him a large office.

All of the offices are taken.

How is there no a bigger room?

If there really isn't any left,
clear my office for Mr. Li.

Never mind, Uncle Xue.

I think this is a nice place.
Tiny but compact.

It's has its edges.

Don't speak up for them.

How can a tiny office
be of any good?

It feels secured. I'll take the room.
I don't need another one.

See? Did you hear
what Mr. Li said?

He came with resolve!
Don't be so sloppy next time.

Go!

Just bear with it for the time being.

After all, you'll have
no shifts to cover.

The company is operating as usual.

But you do need to attend
the shareholders' meeting as usual.

Thank you, Uncle Xue.

Present this to Master.

Madam, please accept the tea.

Lin Qian, what I ask
from you is simple.

Just three sentences.

Let go of everything.

Focus on one thing.

Create something new.

Let go of everything.
Focus on one thing.

Create something new.

I will bear them in mind, Madam.

Very well, you can hand
over your phone now.

Why?

That is the rule here.

From now on,

you must let Master know
when you leave the compound.

Right after I sent the message.

- Don't lose it.
- Sure.

Madam, is there anything...

that I'll learn today?

Clean the yard.

Clean the yard?

- Seriously?
- Seriously.

- The whole yard?
- Yes.

My goodness.

I heard Ai Da was
handed over the Wen Da.

Now, be on guard for
Li Zhi Cheng's henchmen.

I can distract Gu Yan Zhi.

But to use Jin Yuan as pawn,

that is a little too much.

It doesn't seem to be working either.

- I am done with this.
- Is this house close to the sub-way?

- Not far from it.
- Okay.

The price is insane.

Besides, I have someone I love.

Think about the half-dead Si Mei Qi.

Perhaps that will
give you some motivations.

Chen Ya Yi?

A new hairstyle?
That is cute.

You are simply everywhere.

You are haunting me.

You are looking for a room?
You can ask me.

I will find you a room
with good lighting...

and close to the mall or sub-way.

Ask you?

Such a great room is something a
working class like me can't afford.

I resigned and I have no job.

How am I supposed to pay the rent?

You resigned?

That's great.

Great? Chen Zheng,
are you out of your mind?

Why are you so happy
about me losing my job?

You can work for me if you resigned,
be my assistant.

I will cover all utilities
and triple the pay.

High profit with great risk.

Besides, what if those ladies
who got a broken heart from you...

plan to have a suicide bombing on you?

I won't jump in and save you.
Not a chance, get lost.

Watch me and boss me
around all you want.

You can reject all
the calls from those girls.

All those girls will be chased away!

Trust me, most of those
agents are not trustworthy.

The agents might run and
you'll lose the money. It's risky.

Risky?

Nothing is as risky as you are!

Chen Ya Yi!

Father.

Why are you here?

I am here to collect some stuffs.

Why are you checking the accounts?

These records are a mess.

You just came back here.
You will have your hands full.

I wasn't doing nothing
all these years.

I know everything.

Father.

Give me some time.

I will bring Wen Da back to its glory.

Zhi Qian.

I don't wish to rush you.

But I am worried.

Father, don't worry.

I will bring you good news soon.

All the best.

You will have my help.

Mr. Ning.

Did I hear it right?

You spent six millions on this robe,

and you are giving it to me?

Madam Geng, this is not a gift.

It's returned to the rightful owner.

I may be a mere craftsman
in a small town,

but I do understand that
good will comes with negotiation.

If there is anything,
please get to the point.

Madam Geng, it's about
the project I mentioned.

Xin Bao Rui is planning to
develop the Xue Yan Twill...

into a new brand.

I wonder if you have
considered my offer?

Personally speaking,

having my life as it is now
isn't so bad.

As for business,

I never gave much thoughts into it.

Madam Geng,

I do understand your concern.

I know, the fashion trend
is very unpredictable.

Many became impetuous
because of money.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods
are flooding the market.

But deep down in everyone's heart,

we yearn to have a life of candour.

We hope to return to our
own dreams for arts.

This is what I experience deeply in
my years as part of fashion industry.

Someone told me the same thing
five years ago.

He talked about the same
kind of partnership.

But it all ended in vain.

I know.

That man...

is Li Zhi Qian.

You know him?

I will be frank with you.

I once worked in Ai Da too.

Which is why I know very well
why his project failed.

All projects require the right time,
location and people.

They were facing problems both
financially and technically.

But most importantly,

we need the right men.

Well said.

The art of Xue Yan Twill
requires extreme precision.

It's not about the machine,

but the people.

I know we need to
pass down this craft.

If we can meet someone...

who can introduce it to the world
for people to know and love it,

I will fully support it.

To actually make it work...

is no easy task.

Madam Geng, I really wish to
nurture the art of Xue Yan Twill.

This is also why I visited you
so many times.

In a few years, Xin Bao Rui...

rose to the top of
Linhai City fashion industry.

The key to this success is the people.

We are united as one,
focusing on the designs.

Xue Yan Twill is a traditional
Chinese hand-craft.

It needs a team that is capable
from all aspects,

a team that understands
and loves this art.

In terms of finance and
techniques, man-power,

or the appreciation for the art,

Xin Bao Rui is your ideal
choice for partnership.

Rest assured, Madam Geng.

Xin Bao Rui has the best technical
experts in the whole Linhai City.

I'll send them all here
to learn from you.

They will study and prepare
for the development,

making sure the art of Xue Yan Twill
will be passed down for generations.

Have faith in me, Madam Geng.

Please, give me the chance.

Madam Geng,

this is the contract of intellectual
property for Xue Yan Twill.

Please read through it.

May we have a pleasant cooperation.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, today is a
great day for Wen Da.

Today, Zhi Cheng has brought with him
Y Fancy, a brand founded in Ai Da...

back to Wen Da.

Thank you all for the kindness.

Ever since my father passed away,

you held the line and
supported Wen Da.

I will always appreciate that.

As a brand, Y Fancy...

will be needing the resources
of Wen Da from time to time.

I hope we can all work
this out together.

Yes.

Good, let me introduce you to someone.

Amanda.

This is Amanda,
the chief designer of Y Fancy.

Hello, I am Amanda.

It's a pleasure meeting all of you.

A new commander with fiery spirits.

I have a suggestion.

Since Y Fancy is a successful case,

we will appoint Amanda...

as the chief designer of Wen Da...

and provide some inspirations
for the future of Wen Da.

- What do you think.
- Great.

Congratulations to Amanda.
A round of applause for her.

Thank you for the recognition.

I will give it all I have
and not let you down.

Fellow shareholders,
I have a suggestion.

So, ever since Chairman Li fell sick,

the seat of CEO has been
empty for a long time.

Shouldn't we appoint a new CEO
as soon as possible?

We can't simply make any
decision about this matter.

Let us all have some time
to consider this option.

We will discuss it next time, okay?

I respect Mr. Xue's decision.

Good.

If there is nothing else today,

we shall dismiss.

- Yes?
- Sure.

Yes.

Sorry, the number
you dialled is unavailable.

This office is tiny.

You can't just swallow it down.

I am staying low.

But this is too low.

Back to business.
Why didn't you object just now?

Xue Ming Tao is appointing Amanda,

why would I object?

But,

anyone with the right mind can tell.

Amanda was your employee.
Now he is taking her away.

Isn't that great?

Amanda can report to Xue Ming Tao
about the progress.

How is that supposed to be great?

He is slowly stripping your power.

He is slowly devouring Y Fancy.

You must make a move.

Now is not the right time.
We can't act recklessly

So when is the right time?
When he is pointing a gun at you?

That's when you make a move?

That would be too late.

By that time, you would have
lost Y Fancy to him.

I didn't come back to
take control of Y Fancy.

I am going to overhaul Wen Da.

Indeed.

Wen Da is like an old machine.

Those elders are like old screws.

As time passes,
they are covered in rust.

You can't even unfasten them.

Which is why Amanda will
be the lubricating oil.

Once they are loosen,

we will pull them all out at once.

Are you learning or house-keeping?

You are here?
You came here so quickly.

Every students started off carrying
water and cleaning the yard.

I will focus on being a student
and sweep the yard clean.

No rush for anything else.

I brought you toiletries and
clean clothes for change.

- And the other things...
- The drawing book and pens are here.

You know me well.

Have a seat here.

Qian, can I drop by often afterwards?

Sure.

I am okay with that.

But I promised my teacher.

I will give it all my heart to study
and understand Xue Yan Twill.

She might think I will be
distracted if you are here.

It's okay.
Just focus on your work.

My father is not getting well.

His mind is even more blurred now.

Every time I see him,

it pains my heart.

Don't be upset.

I know you and Jin Yuan
will take good care of him.

Wen Da is my father's life's work.

Now that it is running into trouble,

the internal affairs are in chaos.

My father is in no shape
to deal with the problems.

I made him a promise.

I will take care of Wen Da for him.

I know you have thought it over
before you made the decision.

I know you will handle it well.

Don't worry about me.
I am having a good life here.

You need not worry.

My teacher is here.
Madam Geng is coming.

Madam,

my friend brought me my luggages.

Nice to see you, Madam Geng.

I am Lin Qian's boyfriend.
We met before.

I am worried for her.
So I came to pay her a visit.

But I can see that she is having
a very decent life here.

Thank you.

I have everything here.
You have nothing to worry about.

Right, Zhi Cheng.
I have all I need here.

I must empty my thoughts
and focus on learning.

Stop bothering me if
it's not important.

Emptying your mind doesn't mean
severing all ties.

You are setting to be a nun here.

But I told you about the rules.

Think about it.

Mr. Li, you must excuse me.

Madam, I am sorry
to have broken the rules.

Madam Geng, I won't do
the same mistake again.

See?
She is upset with me.

Is your phone confiscated?

You won't be able to contact me.

Okay, once the works
at company are done,

I will drop by, okay?

Gentlemen, before the
shareholder meeting next week,

I invited all of you here
to have a small meeting beforehand.

The seat of Wen Da's CEO has
stayed empty for a long time.

This is a problem.

So, I gathered everyone here...

to request that you vote wisely.

We will recommend you for that seat.

- Yes.
- It'll be you.

Don't bother.

On the contrary,
I want the position of CEO...

to stay empty.

Li Zhi Cheng was once a soldier,
he is aggressive.

I don't wish to mess with him.

But the company is now in our hands.

Our main focus is to prevent
him from interrupting.

You must all void the voting.

No problem.

Without more than half
of the votes being effective,

Li Zhi Cheng can't be the CEO.

Zhao Wen Zhuang usually
looks like a discreet person.

Which is why we didn't get to
talk to him after we came back.

He is very self-righteous.

He doesn't look like someone
who would bow down to anyone.

No one likes to be a boot-licker.

But for the others,
he is a fence-sitter.

Yes, he is indeed a fence-sitter.

He has no noble codes of his own.

He can easily swayed by
anyone's persuasion.

Frankly speaking,
he is doing it for gain.

Yes.

So perhaps we can
offer him something profitable?

We can bring him to our side.

How is Xue Ming Tao treating him?

After I came back,

I found out that Zhao Wen Zhuang
is in charge of Y Fancy.

He is the manager of
production department.

But Xue Ming Tao pulled ranks and
used the name of deputy president...

to get his hands on this project.

So I have been thinking,

he must be pretty annoyed
all these while.

Good.

Lin Qian.

Madam.

This is a Han embroidery
of Nine-Headed Bird.

You told me you just resigned.

It's a time of confusion for you.

I think if you take a close look
at this Han embroidery,

perhaps you will have a
moment of clarity from it.

- Now you must excuse me.
- Thank you, Madam.

I have enough of this.

Are we going to stay here forever?

You can't leave just yet.

Don't you remember why we came here?

Why don't you get it?

I didn't do it for myself.
I did it for you.

He is here.

Uncle Zhao.

You are here to block my way?

This must be about the voting for CEO.

Very wise of you.
I did come for that.

You should go to Xue Ming Tao
for this instead.

Uncle Xue may have fought
along side with my father,

He is a leader,
but not an all-rounder.

All of Wen Da's executives and
shareholder's are my elders.

My word alone won't
convince the others.

Who said that?

You achievement with Ai Da...

is something we all witnessed.

How is that not convincing enough?

So, who do you wish I vote for?

I will be honest with you.

I didn't come here to get a vote.

I am here to vote for you.

Look at you.
I haven't seen you in months...

and you have learned to
talk in riddles.

I want you to be the the CEO.

Cover the seat for time being.

My father once said you are
the right man to lead us.

And with you as the CEO,

your age and experience are more
than enough to be convincing.

Most importantly, people have
faith in your character.

Xue Ming Tao?

I am not sure if I should say it,

but he was working with my brother,

they always disagreed
with one another.

Well,

you are passing me the hot potato.

And I need Uncle Zhao
to handle it for me.

Let me think it over.

A sound plot to alienate them.

Insinuate him to get
the fighting spirit.

Take a step back, then forward.

We need to keep an eye
on Zhao Wen Zhuang.

He's been fence-sitting for years.

We can't be sure he will side with us.

You are right.
I think it's time...

to check the financial records.

We need to know
what they were up to all these time.

Let's go.

Long time no see.

How is your work lately?

What else can it be?
I have a company to run.

Any good stuffs for today?

Fresh fish straight from the flight.
I'll prepare it right in front of you.

Okay, I will take the fish.
And then,

everything on this page.

My friend has a big appetite.

I mean to apologize to her today.

Understood.
Wang, prepare the fresh ingredients.

This is our old customers.

A moment, please.

Students, the drafts you have here...

has an incorrect design outline.

As for the right outline, here.

This is the A shape.

It's suited for plain design
with wide upper part.

It's used to exaggerate the lower hem
and adorn the shoulder.

The silhouette is changed from
straight to slanted line.

The length is extended.

And then...

The design with exaggerate
A shape silhouette...

will blur the curve
at waist and below.

Okay, let's have a look at the design.

You foodaholic, I am waiting.
Hurry up!

Feeling hungry?

You foodaholic, I am waiting.
Hurry up!

Feeling hungry?

He knew I hadn't eaten anything.
He is such a jerk.

My apologies.

A design with wide A-shaped silhouette
will blur the focus at the waist.

Mr. Ning, we are getting off work.
You are staying?

It's okay.
I have some works to do.

You can go now.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello? It's me.

So, are you free tonight?

Let's have a dinner together.

Is this about work
or personal matter?

What's wrong? I can't ask you out
for personal matter?

If it's not about work,
you must excuse me.

I have tonnes of works to do.

I can't accept your date.

Very well.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.
