Nice To Meet You

Episode 25

To say that the traditional craftsmanship is dated,

that's because you don't understand their artistic value.

You've lost a designer's original intent.

We are all brands under Rui Hua.

We compete fairly, don't need your special treatment.

You actually want to be placed on the same level as me?

You should measure your capabilities.

That's enough. It's almost time, let's go.

You still haven't figured out the issues between you two?

Doesn't matter what's going on right now

right now the Rui Hua annual celebration, it's time to work.

Don't forget, you shouldn't bring your personal feelings into your work.

I really don't get it. Why would the Chairman

let the Customization group participate when they're about to be shut down

and Gao Jie dares to stick her nose up at me...

Done complaining yet?

I didn't come here to listen to you loose your temper

Yu Zhi, watch how you speak.

No, let him speak. What do you want to say?

The marketing event's scandal has already passed.

When are you going to come out and say what our connection is to it?

Other see that we have our own ways of thinking. Is there a problem with that?

You think you're above the rumors that others are spreading behind your back?

Yes. You might think this way is disguised marketing,

but I don't like this way.

Listening to what you are saying,

tied up with me is causing you to suffer right?

We haven't suffered from the marketing events?

Or have the scars made you forget the pain already.

What I did was all for a heart-warming marketing campaign.

Since people have already misunderstood, if we come back out, it's going to get even more muddy.

Why don't we wait until the annual celebration is over then think about it.

Enough.

Hui Hui's thinking makes sense.

This time we can reverse the situation. Thanks to Hui Hui's influence.

We worked and cooperated on this together, we need to be inclusive right now.

Since Yu Zhi doesn't like this method,

then I'll take responsibility for what's to come.

Wise decision. I've got to go.

What does he mean?

I've already told you.

See... he won't give in.

Is liking someone so seriously a bad thing?

Please come in.

-Biao Yi. -Xiao Jie.

How's your preparation for the Annual Ceremony?

It's almost done. It's just that since it's my first time attending, so I have no experience.

I don't know if I forgot anything.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

As long as you try your best, you'll be fine.

This is the annual celebration's client list, take good care of it.

These are all clients of the Mosaic Group.

You want me to fight with Yu Zhi to get these clients?

These clients really like products with a fresh feeling.

So they'll most likely work closely with the Mosaic Group,

but the Customization Group also has a lot of new products.

So, they will definitely be interested.

Making connections with these clients will help the industry.

But...

What's wrong? Why do you not look too excited?

I just think that doing it this way isn't very good.

I do want to protect the Customization Group.

But not through taking the opponent's things.

You think that Yu Zhi won't move things around in other people's bowls?

Look, he and Yu Yi decided to work with Wu Xiaoci

already shows the type of people they are.

Yu Zhi and Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hui aren't the same type of people.

You're still speaking up for Yu Zhi?

No. It's just...

When I was in the Mosaic group, I always had interactions with him.

When he does things, he seems to have his own reasons.

Reasons? Look at him.

As soon as he entered Rui Hua, he couldn't wait to go against me,

towards the Sugin Group and the other Rui Hua brands.

Those young people think the rest are simply worthless.

Look at the marketing for the Hui Xin product line

..Look..he and Gao Hui made up all these fake ads.

You still don't know what kind of person he is?

Auntie. Thank you.

But I still don't need any of this.

Xiao Jie. You have to think this through.

These clients can only help you

in your efforts in the Annual Celebration.

Is it.. that you don't want to protect the Customization Group?

Of course I do.

But I don't want to use this kind of method.

I will use my own way.

The honest way, to win this contest.

Your sign is blocking our booth. Please move it somewhere else.

Why should I?

I'm at my own booth and not in your space.

You don't seem to have a right to interfere.

If you block our site like this, how are we supposed to exhibit?

Always acting like you're so righteous.

Stop using these little tricks.

You all think too highly of yourselves.

I'm leaving this sign here.

Figure out your own booth's situation.

Don't take your issues out on others.

Hui Hui. What you're doing is too obvious.

One look at people can tell you're going after the Customization group.

Everything in the annual celebration must start with the company in mind. Why do something like that?

pouty sigh

But she's the one that started it.

So I have to be the bigger person?

What's wrong with you? Your expression isn't pleasant looking.

I'm fine. I'm going to go look over there.

Si Cheng. Why did you come here?

I heard Rui Hua's annual celebration was going to be here.

I guessed you would come, so I came over to look.

This time, we're here to represent Rui Hua's Customization group.

Training with those old master, I've learned a lot.

How is it? Coping with all this alone?

It's alright.

In the company, there will probably be some small problems.

But I can handle them.

This sign is blocking your booth.

It's blocking good flow to your booth.

But if you change the entrance

then it would be completely different.

What you mean is...?

Is this right?

Si Cheng. I didn't think you would use this kind of method.

It's probably because I stayed at Fancy too long,

so I gained some knowledge.

How is it?

I think your grasp of East-West fusion is very good right now.

I believe that this time, we can show the rise of an underdog.

Getting your acknowledgment

gives me a boost of confidence.

Fancy Jewelry should feel regretful.

They pushed out such a fine soldier,

and got back such a strong opponent.

Before, when I was at Fancy Jewelry,

luckily I had your care and guidance.

So you'll always be my first mentor at work.

And I thank you for your affirmation.

There's something I haven't told you yet.

I already left Fancy Jewelry.

What?

Because I think there are too many things at Fancy Jewelry

that don't align with me.

I thought, instead of trapping myself there,

why not leave to become an entrepreneur?

I have already created my own studio.

Shui Zhi Yao (Distant Water).

Really? Congratulations.

I came here to ask you

if you are interested in joining my studio.

Me?

Although my studio is still in the start-up stage,

but you can be assured of one thing.

It's that at my studio,

you'll be able to freely express your talents.

Also, my studio will treat you better than your previous studios.

Thank you for thinking about me.

But, I haven't been in Rui Hua for long. I still have many things to learn.

I don't have intentions of job-hopping.

There's something I've always wanted to ask you.

Wu Xiaoci's daughter, Gao Hui, is also at Rui Hua.

Are you choosing to stay because of this mother-daughter connection?

You came to me before with Wu Xiaoci's design

to ask me about plagiarism, right?

I really can't hide anything from you.

I do have some conflicts with them.

This is what I hate to see the most.

Gao Jie, you are extremely talented.

You should use your talents to design better products.

And not see them as

tools to reach your goal.

I think Rui Hua isn't suited for you.

I'm sorry, Si Cheng.

My motivations for joining Rui Hua are complicated.

I've probably let you down.

But ever since I saw the beauty of traditional crafts at Rui Hua,

my feelings have changed.

If I still have a

heart that wants to win,

then it's because I want to protect something.

Since you have already made up your mind,

then I'll respect your decision.

Thank you, for still believing me.

Looks I'm not a qualified recruiter.

If you change your mind someday,

come find me right away. The gates of Shui Zhi Yao

are always open to you.

set up noises

How is it?

The chief designer is personally overseeing the exhibition.

Sure enough, the results are wonderful.

When has my judgment ever gone wrong?

Also, where's Yu Zhi? What's up with him?

He's arguing with me at one moment and disappearing the next.

What's wrong? I saw earlier that you didn't look too great.

Is your stomach hurting again?

You don't eat when I tell you to, and you're still being stubborn.

Your old problem must be acting up again.

We're almost done here.

Let's go, I'll take you to eat late night snacks. I know a good restaurant.

Huihui, I'm curious.

You're such a famous designer

why did you take me to a place like this?

Your stomach hurts, so it's best to eat porridge.

It's already so late, so only this place will have it.

If it's for you, it's not like I can't compromise.

Boss, two bowls of seafood porridge.

Okay.

- It's quite good. - Really?

Senior, do you remember that time in college

when I became interested in "dark cuisine"?

I made porridge so many times.

It's not that you had too little water.

You cooked the porridge until the rice bloated.

You made a pot of rice soup.

Rice bought in foreign countries is okay to cook with,

but making porridge, is like making bricks without straw.

But I'm very good at cooking.

I remember this one time when

I helped your dormmates move into a rental house.

In order to express your thanks, you guys forced me to eat with you.

You kept me there to eat with you guys. It was your cooking.

What was it? Mango and beef stir fry.

Mustard and raw garlic.

- Mustard and raw garlic salad! - Right, right.

That taste- I- I can remember it to this day.

- You remember it so clearly? - Yeah.

Then how about I make these two dishes again someday to pay my respect to you?

No need, no need. That...eating it once is enough.

That taste, I won't forget it for the rest of my life.

Hey, it was my first time cooking. It's natural to be nervous.

Messing up should be expected.

Senior, I can not care about my appearance in front of you.

But I'm nervous about this. Please don't tell other people.

It's embarrassing.

Don't worry, it'll stay in my stomach.

- Are you still eating? - I'm done.

Let's go.

- Boss, the bill. - Boss, look at this dish.

- It's fine. - Look at this dish.

You... You're fine, right?

Senior, it's a relief that you have a fast reaction time. Otherwise, my outfit would have been destroyed.

If I revealed my true feelings,

would you still be so free-spirited around me?

What are you doing?

Kissing my own girlfriend isn't breaking the law right?

I don't have time for you, please leave.

Don't be mad at me.

You're drawing rings?

The real thing should be really good.

Okay.. It's my fault I didn't think it through

and let Gao Hui drill a hole (in between us)

but you being jealous makes me happy.

After the annual celebration, will you come home with me?

If you don't promise

then I'll always wrap myself around you.

Right now all my thoughts are on how to protect the Customization group.

I don't want to be distracted by other things.

And, we're in different booths,

representing different positions.

Keeping some distance between us is better.

Then after the annual celebration is over I'll move you back ot the Mosaic group.

Then you wont' have any more reasons to reject me right?

But I don't want to go back.

I'm learning a lot in the Customization group.

Not like in the Mosaic group only doing marketing on love.

But the Customization group won't necessarily make it.

If you don't come to the Mosaic group you'll go where? The Sugin group?

You're just like everyone else, and look down on the Customization group.

You think the Customization group can't win the competition right?

Don't forget.

If was you who had me to go the Customization group.

I know, I have tender feelings for those old Masters.

It was me who wanted you to go learn with them.

But these handmade production crafts

can't keep up with commercial expansion.

And will be eliminated.

If we don't keep up with the times

then there will be no new products.

The way you think to adapt to the times

is to let the Customization group die off?

Is there any value that has nothing to do with the business?

It's your business mindset

that limits your imagination.

I'll prove to you

the passing down of traditional culture

is something that has value unto itself.

I'm far from what you value.

It seems like there is nothing to talk about.

So, in your eyes, I'm just a sneaky copper merchant, is that it?

I know that everyone's identity is different and so their positions in life are different

As a designer you should put your mind on the design.

There no need to fight between the groups.

It's not as easy as you think to keep the Customization group around.

They're competing against the Mozaic group

and the Sugin group.

I only have to remember that I am a designer

and I'll feel even more responsible to try and protect the Customization Group.

Only with the Customization group around

can we transfer the knowledge of the craft

to continue to create jewelry that has feeling and stories behind them.

I'll make sure everyone knows

that the value of the Customization group is the traditional craftsmanship.

I'm tired. I don't want to keep doing this.

Facts say everything.

[Sugin Group]

Welcome. Welcome.

Boss Mu

It seems that this year, Sugin Group's performance is not ideal.

Sugin Group always sticks to tradition

that its popularity can't compete with your novel jewelries.

However, people are always drawn to new things.

After the tour, people will realize

that the old are better.

Their eternity will only shine if they can stand the tests.

True. Boss Mu is right.

Sugin Group's performance always takes up a major role in Ruihua.

But if this year's performance doesn't meet the expectation, I'm afraid...

the Chairman will be worried.

If Sugin Group needs any support,

we Mozaic Group are happy to help.

Though we are groups of same level in Ruihua

you are still new-comers

It is us that should be helping you.

I can't talk anymore. I still have matters to take care of.

You can just stay here

and if there's anything you can help Yu Yi with,

you must strongly support.

Sugin Group has so few customers,

but Mu Ziyun doesn't seem so bothered.

If I'm guessing correctly,

she's now contacting old customers of Ruihua.

The real battlefield is not here. Now we know what they are playing,

it's gonna be harder for her to win.

Ruihua Gold

Chen Pinzhen, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

I just organized the reports I have on hand.

Now I'm gonna go to the Mozaic Group's booth.

see if there's anything I can help with there.

Booth has enough people already, you don't need to go.

Now, we got some flyers that need help handing out.

You can go and give them out,

to draw more customers to our booth.

Stop hesitating, just go.

Wait, Boss Ye. I've thought about it

And I think handing out flyers is too inefficient.

I have an idea. How about this?

I go and take some photos at the Mozaic Group's booth.

Then post them online.

That way more people can see it

It will no doubt attract more people.

That works too. Alright, you can go.

Okay, I'll go now. Come on, Boss Ye.

You hand them out.

Hey!

It's been a day.

People mostly are just hanging around and not really buying.

Those guys over there

have been here since morning.

They've been trying on the items and asking questions, but nobody has bought anything.

And they are sitting there obstructing others. So annoying!

So annoying.

These people

are obviously sent here to cause trouble.

You're saying that Mu Ziyun is behind this?

If I see them again tomorrow, I won't let them in.

That won't work. If you kick them out,

they will definitely use it to make a ruckus.

Then the situation will be even harder for us.

Then what are we going to do?

We just do what we are supposed to do. Hold this exposition.

Yu Zhi says he has another plan.

What's the second plan?

He definitely won't say if we ask him now.

We'll know later.

Boss Mu.

Take a seat.

Boss Mu, I have good news.

- Speak. - The...

It's going on smoothly at the exposition. I hired a couple of guys,

and they are messing around at the Mozaic Group's booth.

They spent a lot to for their venue,

then I just find some good actors to really co-operate with them.

I promise they won't have any business.

Then what about Yu Zhi? What's his reaction?

Yu Zhi left early.

I don't know where he went.

Yu Zhi is someone who does not know how to admit defeat.

Keep an eye on him.

Okay.

Then what about Gao Jie?

The Customization Group's venue is not spacious.

Even if they have a backdoor to let the people out,

I'm afraid it's difficult for them to stand out.

Boss Mu, are we going to help her?

Forget it.

She said she had a solution so I also want to see

what exactly is her solution.

Look.

Indeed you did good.

-I'm done here. I'll write the press release as soon as I get back. -Okay.

Then I'm leaving first, okay?

Keep up the good work. You're working hard.

- Okay, don't worry. - Pinzhen!

Designer Gao, what can I do for you?

Are you photographing the booth?

Yes. I already finished when you were not here earlier.

Then retake them.

Alright. Thanks a lot.

Go towards right a little more.

Oh, right. Right. Smile. Three, two, one.

Very good, very good.

- Take another one. - Okay. I'll take another.

Three, two, one. Smile. Three, two, one.

- Here. - Very good.

It looks especially good.

Another one. Three, two, one.

Okay, I'm done. I'm going first.

Hey, wait!

Let me take a look.

You don't need to look. It looks really good.

It's really beautiful.

Really? Let me see!

Don't look.

What is this?

Can you use this for publicity?

Designer Gao, please come here.

Take your photos. Don't let me see this kind of blurred photos ever again.

Okay.

I don't need your instructions when doing my work.

Gao Jie, looking good. So many people here!

Have you seen our slogan?

"Don't let your jewelry lay in the box".

Other two groups are both asking people to buy new ones.

But you have these artisans

fixing old jewelries here.

You saw a lack in market.

And attract customers with that?

Actually, not only do we want to draw customers.

But also...I think old jewelries

all have their vibrancy and value.

They all have certain emotions.

And I want to resuscitate the stories behind them.

So that they can be alive again.

-Mister, hello. -Hello.

Can you help me take care of this ring?

Alright, okay.

Miss, your ring is a fake.

Impossible.

My son spent several thousands of dollars to buy it a few years ago.

How could it be fake?

Don't say nonsense.

I'm not saying nonsense. Your son must've been scammed.

What do you know? Alright, alright, alright.

Zheng, you can go and do something else. Leave this to me.

It really is fake.

Hello, Auntie. What can I help you with?

Young lady, I can tell you're an understanding person.

Take a look. Is this jewelry real?

Okay, let me take a look.

Auntie. This jewelry really doesn't look like it's real.

That's not possible.

How about this? If you don't mind, I can remove the jewel

and do a test. That way, you can get a closer look.

Remove it?

There's nothing wrong with my ring.I'm just here to keep it in good shape.

There isn't any problem.

If you take the jewel out,

can you put it back?

This will have negative effect on my ring's outlook.

Auntie, you don't have to worry about that.

If we remove it to test it

and find out this jewel is real,

We can compensate you with our jewelry from the booth for free.

Compensate another one?

Is that alright?

Alright then. You said so.

If you take it out and it's real,

you have to set it back well.

You have to ensure my ring's perfection.

Also, you said you will compensate me with another jewelry.

No problem.

Auntie, look.

How could this happen?

This is a very platitudinous way to duplicate.

The so-called jewel had no color at all.

They would just tint the base red.

And through this colorless rock,

the light would reflect red.

The real jewel is naturally tinted.

It would never produce qualities like this.

There are more and more fake jewels on the market.

So when everyone buys

gems, you all have to be more careful.

How about this,

Here I'm gonna teach you a few methods to authenticate a jewel.

Usually people would consider,

there is no gas in the stones.

No gas means good quality.

But you have to consider the situation.

For instance, in natural emerald,

it's normal to have bubble in it.

Another example,

this kind of sapphire,

dual-coloration is its most distinctive quality.

Take a look from one angle, it is blue.

And from another,

because of the different lighting, it is blue-green.

Okay, today the time is limited.

I'll end my introduction here.

We will have a salon here tomorrow.

If anyone is interested, you can come.

And these experienced artisans will be here to elaborate.

I welcome you all back tomorrow.

Okay...

Claptrap.

Salon can gather customers, easier for marketing.

After the lessons, they go straight to sell.

Gao Jie is playing smart.

The people can be attracted to the salon,

can't possibly be major buyers of jewelries.

Most of them will just go for the lessons.

Anyway, even if someone's gonna buy something,

their consumption ability is limited. It can't hurt us.

Don't forget, customization group has very little resources.

If Gao Jie can secure some big deals,

their performance will outstrip their resources.

If this way, then sorry.

I will never leave my opponents any chances.

Ziyun, coming home so late. Are you tired?

What happened to you today?

Here, here, here. I’ll help you take your bag.

What do you mean?

I'm really flattered.

You had a really good time out there, did you? You sure bought a lot of purses.

Did those people who give you gifts are really good to you, really friendly?

No, no.

I'd like to do something serious, but I can't help, can I?

Look, everyone in the company knows you, Boss Mu.

Who would give a damn about me?

You know I took care of some business stuff recently.

I have a very important meeting tonight,

but I got no money. You see, going out with empty pockets,

how pathetic is that?

How about, Boss Mu, you give me some?

I'm okay if you want to go hang out. I won't stop you.

Did I not give you a card that can withdraw by month?

You can use that. If you run out, I've got nothing to give.

Mu ziyun, look, I asked nicely but you have nothing.

I'm telling you, this house is mine.

If it weren't for me, how could you have what you have today?

Hurry up and give me my money.

I don’t have money. If you have the ability, go ask your mom for it.

Are you giving it or not?

I’m not giving it.

Okay, not giving? Then I’m taking it myself!

What are you doing? Let me tell you, I’m going to call the police!

-You dare to call the police! -You...

What are you doing? This wallet doesn’t have any money.

Mu Ziyun,

don't you dare think you are powerful in the company

so you can do whatever you please.

Let me tell you,

good days are over. Old Dong who retired told me the other day,

next board meeting, he will recommend Yu Zhi to join the board.

After all these efforts, you are still not one of them.

Grandma will still give her company to her own grandson, my boy.

Just you wait. See what I'll do with you when that day comes.

If she decided so,

don't blame me for my preemptive moves.

Destroy the path for Yu Zhi to go up.

Alright. It'll be done in a minute.

Material for tomorrow's salon?

The exposition is only three days in total,

today's for orientation. Tomorrow's for selling and promoting.

The day after, the night of Ruihua, will be the last battle.

Then will tomorrow be the horn of the final battle?

So tomorrow is crucial. We need to have enough order.

You can do it. Others did all they could

to arrange their booths,attracting eyeballs. Only you came up with interacting with others.

This good creativity and you worry about not getting enough orders?

I am cornered.

My tiny booth is like lattice spacing. And Gao Hui

deliberately blocked half of it.

How can you have a way out if you don't think.

So is Gao Hui so beaten by you right now?

When I get back, I'll write more press releases and post them online. It's gotta work.

You still dare.

Relax. I have a lot of accounts.

You are really helping your opponents, are you?

And you are in a relationship with your opponent.

Look at you, all hurt.

If you really care about him, you need to tell him.

Instead of torturing him.

These days of preparing, I found out

he was always paying attention to you.

Maybe he feels hurt too.

Yu Zhi and I, we did encountered some problems.

And the thing with Customization Group,

I found out the difference in our values.

When we were good, everything is amenable.

When there is a crack,

no matter how small it is, things will go wrong.

The more I care about him, the more I'm afraid of facing him.

No. Loving each other but can't be together?

This is the fate of the leading female role in my writings.

It should not be you.

No. I need to help you guys out.

Don’t!

-So don’t be serious. It’s okay, right? -Ya,

it’s okay.

Sorry.

Hello?

Where are you?

-You just hang up? -Yeah.

Why not? You’re so handsome.

-I really like you. -Oh thank you.

Look at him.

How could he be sad? He doesn't care.

How can Yu Zhi in a night club? Bastard.

Pretending to be all affectionate all day.

Don’t be sad.

Cheer up. Like me, find something fun to do.

Hotpot's ready.

Here, have some.

Hello everyone.

In myths, emerald is Venus' favorite jewel.

It has a meaning of preserving love.

A jewel that brings true happiness to its wearer.

In the meanwhile, it is a jewel that represents the 55th anniversary of a couple.

My mother has an emerald ring in her dowry.

I heard it was my grandparents' love token.

It looked kind of outmoded.

And it's a bit vulgar for now.

That can count as an old object.

Actually, since ancient times, we consider emerald very precious.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty rendered emerald

as valuable as opal.

Took opal and emerald as gifts.

Old jewels can last till today, they all have

some qualities that can stand tests.

With only a little improvement, we can combine

retro and fashion perfectly.

And make the jewels shine their unique light again.
