" Our Glamourous Time "

Episode 39

Then what present do you want?

You.

Such a rascal. I'm going to report to the police.

I don't mean it like that.

I just hope that you can wear the gown I designed,

stand in front of my house and let me admire it.

This will be my best birthday gift. Alright?

But next time, if you want to date me, can you tell me earlier?

Especially about tonight. Why do you only tell me this now?

My schedule is full of works tonight.

- I... - Aren't you the chief editor now?

Why did you make yourself so busy?

I have to work overtime because I'm chief editor.

I need to set an example.

Or else, are my subordinates going to work overtime while I date every day?

You are a leader too. You are supposed to know about this.

I've really found myself a workaholic.

I want to change girlfriend.

How dare you.

I'll definitely wait for you today.

Let's see if you'll come.

I definitely can't make it tonight.

I promise you, I'll compensate for your birthday present tomorrow.

No, it has to be today.

It's already two in the morning.

I've already dolled myself up...

just like I'm going to a party according to your request.

The champagne is no longer cold, right? You've waited long for me.

It's alright. I'll put...

the champagne back into the fridge later.

We can drink it tomorrow morning.

Don't you think that this thinking is a bit too sly?

What are you thinking about?

Maybe I just want to chat with you today.

Chat until tomorrow morning.

But your birthday has passed now.

So you wish doesn't count.

Where else can you run?

How is it?

Do you like it?

Actually, before this,

I had a very dirty thought.

I wanted to personally help you put on this Xue Yan Twill gown.

I'm sorry.

I've already put it on myself.

Such a beautiful you has already appeared in front of me anyway.

Do you think you can get away tonight?

I let down my guard and gaze at you.

I won't hide my admiration for you.

Please don't blame me for caring for you.

As I hugged you from behind,

I will quietly hide under your wind coat.

I can sense the love in your eyes.

Whatever they say about us,

your kiss can heal anything.

Together, with a smile,

we will go on a journey.

All the heavy luggage...

will be left in your home.

Wherever you are,

the most wonderful view is you.

I want to cherish the moments we spent together.

In a dress of white,

I will sketch into your book.

As pen touches the pages,

the gentleness doesn't fade away.

The most familiar night view...

brings us unfamiliar feelings.

We will flip through the pages full of precious...

memories.

I will quietly hide under your wind coat.

He even prepared a wedding dress for me.

I can sense the love in your eyes.

You gave me a surprise, so, I'll give you a surprise too.

Your kiss can heal anything.

In a dress of white,

I will sketch into your book.

As pen touches the pages,

the gentleness doesn't fade away.

The most familiar night view...

brings us unfamiliar feelings.

We will flip through the pages full of precious...

memories.

You are quite romantic. You even wrote me a letter.

Zhi Qian?

You used to laugh at me because I act like an ancient.

I even hand-write a letter.

Actually, that's because in my heart,

love is such a sacred existence that I must personally engrave it...

word by word.

That day, without warning,

you barged into my life.

Like a lightning striking through the desolate sky.

So gloriously radiant...

that it lights up my once...

boring life.

But love is too heavy of a word.

It'll make people worry.

Are you willing to wear this wedding dress?

I'll be waiting.

This wedding dress...

is made by Li Zhi Qian?

Is this the wedding dress made by Li Zhi Qian?

Grace.

Calm down.

It's like this.

When I went to meet Geng Xing Min to talk about a collaboration,

I found out that Li Zhi Qian had left all of these with her.

At first, I plan to give them to you.

Why didn't you give them to me?

Because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid.

I understand now.

Actually, I'm just a part of your plan, right?

What?

When I was still with Ai Da,

You pretended to pursue me in hope that I'll stand by your side.

So, you pretended to leave Xin Bao Rui...

and participated in the design contest to give me a good impression of you.

- This, I... - And you went back to Xin Bao Rui.

Because you want to work on Xue Yan Twill.

So, you used Li Zhi Qian's dream to make me cooperate with you.

So, all long, all of these are just your plot to use me.

- No, it's not like that. - Then what is it like?

- How could you question my feelings? - What is feelings?

If you really have feelings towards me,

do you need to be so calculative?

And you won't need to hide Li Zhi Qian's gift for me in your closet.

You can just tell me about it.

Do you know?

Do you know important Li Zhi Qian is to me?

I know how important he is to you. I know.

It's not easy for us to finally build up our relationship after so long.

I'm afraid that after you know about all of this,

our efforts will be irrevocably lost and we'll be back to square one.

Excuse.

If you really have feelings towards me,

you'll face all of them instead of evading them.

If you don't even that much of a confidence in me,

it can only prove that...

you are guilty.

It can only prove that your love...

for me is not sincere enough.

Grace.

Grace!

How about you try this one? The embroidery on it...

- is done personally by our designer. - 3,800 is too expensive.

- We are good. Thank you. - Thank you.

Come back again.

Qian Qian.

It has been more than one week.

We didn't even sell one piece of clothing. What are we going to do?

Hello, welcome.

This, this and this.

I want all five of these. Wrap it up.

- Aren't you going to try it on? - No. Wrap it up.

Alright.

My lady,

How about I give you a membership card?

- No need to trouble yourself. - No trouble at all.

You just need to leave behind your contact number.

You bought so many clothes from us at once.

Let me make a membership card for you.

So that I can give you a discount. It's more worth it.

Alright.

You just need to write it here.

Qian, has Glamorous opened for business?

Yes.

A customer came today and bought five clothing at once.

Five pieces of clothing?

That's great.

Then, here's to good business.

And here's to our talented Designer Lin.

Cheers.

What is it, Qian?

Did you arrange that?

Of course not.

It really wasn't your arrangement?

Why would you say that?

Because this client didn't even look at the size.

She just simply took five of them.

I think it's very weird.

Have confidence in yourself, alright?

There are so many people with good taste nowadays.

It's normal for them to take a few if they like them, right?

Tell me the truth.

Did you arrange that?

Let me take a look at the soup.

By the way, I think what you said is reasonable.

I'll contact her now...

to arrange a time to meet up tomorrow.

Meet up? How are you going to meet up with her?

I want to do a customer survey.

This girl bought so many clothes at once and the sizes are all different.

What if she use my clothes as templates to make copies...

and sell them on the net? I'll have to stop her then.

I'll need to call the police.

How are you going to contact her?

She bought a lot. So I made her a member card with her phone number.

- Don't call her. - Why?

Don't call her.

Alright, it's me. I've arranged for her to buy those clothes.

See. I know it's you.

Li Zhi Cheng, how could you do that?

We've agreed to discuss everything together, right?

- I'm sorry. - It's too late to say sorry now.

You lied to me, right?

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Glamorous has been opened for one week.

But nothing is sold.

I'm worried that you'll feel anxious.

And it's been such a long time since you last smile.

Alright, stop being angry.

Qian.

Do you know that I feel very nervous when you are angry?

Please listen to me.

You are not angry anymore?

You are so nice to me.

I can't bear to be angry with you.

Thank you.

Qian.

What do you plan to do with Glamorous next?

Glamorous is very new.

And the customers are not very familiar with this brand.

I think it's very normal for the sales to be slow.

There are three problems with Glamorous now.

No promotion,

low customers' recognition...

and higher price range.

I think,

if Glamorous can hold or participate in some fashion shows...

or do some online and offline promotion for the brand,

the current situation can be improved.

Then let us market and promote it together.

Alright?

I think a traditional advertising is not suitable for Glamorous.

Because it's not a mass production.

I think Glamorous should take the highway of haute couture.

Later, I'll look for some fashion- famous internet celebrities...

and some social influencers.

Let's do an online promotion first. It's more straight-forward.

I think this is a good idea.

Before Lin Qian can build up her own popularity,

we still have to use Xue Yan Twill's name.

Alright.

That day, I arranged a woman to buy clothes from her store.

In the end, she had saw through it in few minutes time.

Only Lin Qian can stand up to you.

Hello, welcome.

- Hello. - Please take a look.

What kind of style do you like?

Dress?

Or something casual and loose?

Or something that is fitting?

What are the materials used on your garments?

All of the clothes in our shop are made...

using traditionally crafted Xue Yan Twill.

And all of them are made by hands.

This, this and this.

I want all five of these.

Don't you want to try it on?

No need. Wrap them up for me.

What is it? How much is the total?

Quickly wrap them up for her.

Alright.

Let me make you a member card.

So that I can give you a discount. You just need to give me your number.

Sure.

This way please.

Director Chen, you have a guest.

- Who is it? - Jerry from DP Company.

I don't know her. Ask her to leave.

She said she has something important to discuss with you face-to-face.

Ask her to come in then.

Come in.

Hello, Director Chen, I'm Jerry, the CEO's assistant from DP China.

Hello, what can I do for you?

This is the proposal for DP to invest in Si Mei Qi.

We have reached a consensus with your father, Mr. Chen Zhi Jun.

This time, we are here to listen to your opinion.

You want to invest in Si Mei Qi?

Who are you?

- Why did I know nothing about it? - You'll know by reading the proposal.

After DP invest in Si Mei Qi, you'll still be the CEO of it.

Si Mei Qi's employees, online sales channels...

and management style will remain the same.

After DP's investment, our total share will be 35 percent.

And you'll be holding 30 percent.

The controlling power will still be with the Chinese shareholders.

Say no more.

Such a big merger with such a low price.

I need to discuss face-to-face with you CEO...

to be able to make a decision.

I won't be talking to you again. Goodbye.

Father.

What is happening?

They have already talked to you?

Why would you let a foreign corporation invest in Si Mei Qi?

And as the CEO of Si Mei Qi, I know nothing about it?

Equity financing is normal, right?

Father.

I really don't understand. Why would you do that?

You are the one who built up Si Mei Qi.

Aren't you afraid that it'll be swallowed by the foreigner?

- Because of you. - Because of me?

What has it got to do with me? I don't want to sell off Si Mei Qi's shares.

Ever since I handed over the company to you,

the company has been getting worse.

Now, Si Mei Qi is still quite famous.

It's still worth some money.

Now, the DP wants to invest in us.

And I can still bargain with them.

It's not a total loss. After a few more years in your hands,

I'm afraid that our company won't even have that value anymore.

During that time, this money...

will be your escape route.

Father, don't you...

have any confidence in me?

If you are Ning Wei Kai...

or Li Zhi Cheng,

it won't be like this.

I don't want to do this too.

I still hope that you can keep this Xue Yan Twill.

I'll deliver it to you.

This is my first time making a dress for my lover.

It belongs only to you, Grace.

Can you forgive me?

No matter how long,

I'll wait for you.

Another customer came this afternoon.

She bought five pieces of garments without testing too.

I really didn't do it this time.

I won't use the same trick twice.

- Really? - You've been working so hard.

It's only natural that you'll be rewarded for it.

I'm right, isn't it?

I have her contact number anyway.

I want to pay her a visit tomorrow.

- Go with me. - Alright.

You are the crazy one.

I'm not crazy.

What are you doing?

You are here. Sit.

- Sit. - Alright. I'll sit down now.

Come.

I'm hungry. What did you...

cook for me today?

I can't cook today because my hand is hurt.

I've queued up for quite a long time to buy crab legs for you.

What did you say? You say your hand is hurt?

- Where? - It's fine.

Is it painful? Is it serious? Why are you so careless?

If you are hurt, who's going to cook for me every day?

Every day?

Yes. Of course my boyfriend needs to cook every day for me.

What did you say just now?

Boyfriend?

My boyfriend has to cook every day for me.

And you need to cook three meals per day.

I want to eat home-made lunch box at noon.

And I want to have romantic dinner at night.

I want to eat a full table of rich and nutritious breakfast in the morning.

Give me some time, I'll wait for you.

Let me hold your hands,

I'll make you happy.

I'll be crazy over you.

Crazy over you.

I think this is the place.

- Yes, it is. - Let's go.

This must be Madam Chen's workshop.

Who are you?

Hello, I'm the designer for the brand, Glamorous.

We would like to do a customer survey with you.

You've bought a lot of clothes from us before this.

And you are our first customer.

Your opinions on our clothes are really important.

Please lend us a little bit of your time. Please.

Madam Chen, we won't take up much of your time.

That's right.

- Come in. - Thank you.

Madam Chen.

Can you tell us the reason...

you buy clothes from this brand, Glamorous?

What attracted you to it?

The design style of Glamorous is really interesting.

It has the charm of Chinese classical ink painting.

At the same time, it follows the current modern culture and taste.

For me, it's not just a garment...

but quite an outstanding work of art.

Thank you for your compliments.

Then, do you think that...

the price is reasonable?

Quality is my only concern when I buy something.

As long as it is good,

I don't really care about the price.

Alright, I understand.

Actually, I gave one of it...

to my student, Xiao Xian, as birthday present.

Do you want to interview her?

Sure.

Xiao Xian, the garment given to you by Madam Chen,

what do you feel when you wear it?

It's especially comfortable when I wear it.

It's form-fitting but it's not stuffy.

It's the most comfortable fabric that I've ever worn.

But it is too expensive.

When Madam Chen gave it to me, I saw the price tag.

It's more than 5,000. It's not something that I can afford.

Alright, thank you for answering the questions.

You are welcome. Brother, sister,

are you boyfriend and girlfriend?

You even noticed that? Aren't we a pair?

Yes.

Today is the weekend. Since you are here,

Do you want to experience the process of making pottery?

Sure.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at my wife.

You are especially charming...

when you are working.

Like a work of art. I'm fascinated and captivated by you.

Did you eat candy today? Such a sweet talker.

I think I'm not sweet enough.

My heart...

is just like this clay.

It'll always be under your control.

Alright. Notify me immediately after you've arranged it.

I'll wait for your good news. Bye.

I'll say it then. You are so charming.

It's not very difficult to make a man fall in love with you.

Where else can you run?

How is it?

Do you like it?

I know it now.

The sales of Glamorous is bad...

because of the position of the brand.

Exactly like what Chen Mo Mo said.

Before this, I've been too engrossed in my own preference.

Not everybody can understand the beauty of Xue Yan Twill.

Chen Mo Mo will think that it's a work of art.

And Xiao Xian will think that it's too expensive to be affordable.

If Glamorous' only customers are customers like Chen Mo Mo,

our shop will have to close down soon enough.

Tell me about the changes you want to make. Be specific.

I think that the establishment of a brand will have...

different positioning according to different groups of people.

Different needs will give it a high, medium or low positioning.

Glamorous has always been positioned as a high-end brand of clothing.

But we can't make ourselves recognised by...

those high-end consumers fast enough.

And the youngsters are in the mainstream consumer groups.

So I was thinking of...

mixing Xue Yan Twill with different kinds of fabrics.

By doing so, we can reduce the cost...

and at the same time, we can add in...

some youthful and fashionable elements.

Then, we can attract those mainstream consumer groups...

that we've neglected before this.

I might even open up a new prospect for Glamorous.

I support your changes.

In line with your idea, we can design some everyday wear for the people.

By doing so, we can satisfy the major needs of most consumers.

This will also take care of the consumption levels of these consumers.

And we can use them to popularise our brand.

This is our next direction.

- What about sales? - As for sales,

actually, every customer that come to the shop can choose not to buy.

But you have to ask them the reasons for not buying.

Is it because of the price or the design?

Everything has a reason.

Actually, Glamorous is like a battlefield.

- Look. - Here you go again.

- Every place is a battlefield. - Yes. So, to defeat them,

you need to understand them.

Actually, when we use the concept of battlefield on business,

it's quite useful.

Alright then. We have a direction now.

Quickly write me a proposal. I'm full of confidence right now.

I just need...

a little bit of love.

The power of love?

Enough?

No.

How can this be enough? You are too stingy.

Not enough?

Sister.

Ning Wei Kai is here to see you again.

What happened to both of you. Just straighten it out with him.

Tell him that I went out for a meeting.

Another thing.

The head office in America wants to send over an observer named Lisa.

I heard that she was...

the chief editor for the Italian version before this.

She just transferred to America a few days ago.

Why did they send her here?

I have a gut feeling that she's not here for a friendly meeting.

She'll be coming here so soon.

Hello, Lisa. I'm Grace's assistant, Cindy.

Welcome to H China.

This way, please.

Sister Grace. Lisa is here.

- Lisa, welcome. - Hello.

Thank you.

We've met each other last year in the main office's gathering, right?

Yes. That time, you are still the chief editor in Italy.

You have such good memories.

But let me tell you. I don't really like Italy.

I'm more attracted to China.

Actually, I hope that...

I can stay longer here.

Is that so?

What is the main itinerary for your visit this time?

You know it too. The sales of the magazines...

in China has declined.

So, the head office sent me here to learn more about it.

I have to make an assessment towards the personnel, the contents...

and the whole operations.

The internet is so advance right now.

Declining sales of paper media is a global problem.

And, I'll like to use this chance to discuss with the head office...

to see how are we going to solve this problem that is shared by all.

Let's communicate more.

Alright. If Lisa needs anything, make sure to provide them to her.

Alright, sister.

Let me show you around.

- Sure. That's great. - After you.

Thank you.

Chen Ya Yi.

I want to ask you a question. But you need to be truthful.

When did I ever lie to you?

Do you think I can take good care of Si Mei Qi?

Let me change the question.

Am I a good manager?

Are you upset?

I've lost my confidence when so many things happened one after another.

Objectively speaking, with your intelligence and capabilities,

you can manage Si Mei Qi well.

As for your effort, I think,

you are not devoted fully in Si Mei Qi.

- I did. - It's not enough.

Alright.

Accompany me to meet a very important person this evening.

Meeting the parents? That's too fast.

No. Remember to wear more formal.

Why do I need to wear so formal?

You'll know when you reach there. Eat your food.

Our shop will launch some moderately priced clothes soon.

- Not bad, Ya Yi. - And, we'll have some new designs.

You are welcome to visit when the time comes.

The business is quite good now. A great improvement.

Not only I did some changes with the designs,

I want to collect more customer data...

through phone interview...

or small gatherings at salons.

We have to keep improving our product. Let the clothes talk.

It'll give more freedom of choice to the customers too.

- What do you think? - You look more and more like it.

- Like what? - A boss.

I finally use my brain, right?

I want to give you a ring.

What ring?

A memorial ring about Glamorous...

with it's time of opening engraved on it.

And with your name too.

I want to record this glamorous time.

Sorry to disturb.

Qian Qian, can I discuss something with you?

Tell me.

I want to borrow this gown...

to wear it for a single party tonight.

I promise to return it in perfect condition tomorrow.

- Fighting. - Fighting.

- Thank you, bye. - Bye.

Is this the Wet Code foundation?

No. This is the Wet Code CC cushion.

So beautiful.

- You like it? - Yes.

I'll give it to you then. This is my first time using it.

- Really? - Of course.

- Thank you. - No need. Go and continue your work.

Thank you.

So beautiful.

When am I not beautiful?

I'm saying that the dress is beautiful.

I won't argue with you.

This gown is Sister Qian's new design.

Didn't you say that you want me to meet an important person?

He went to the toilet?

I think he'll be reaching soon. Sit down.

This is the CEO of DP China, Peter Smith.

This is Director Chen from Si Mei Qi.

Hello.

This is...

This is Ya Yi, she's my...

I'm Director Chen's assistant. Nice to meet you.

Take a seat.
