[Nice To Meet You]

[Episode 8]

Not only did you not avoid me, but you came to the club to find me.

Why?

Do you know that you are playing with fire?

You are so narcissistic.

Did you get the wrong script for a playboy?

Don't worry. If I knew that you would be here, I would have never come.

Speaking of playing with fire,

no one can compare to you who can entertain the client and

be the playboy.

What do you mean "playboy"?

Come back here!

Yu Zhi.

Did you not manage to get Gao Jie back with your sweet talk?

Judging from what she said today,

I think she found you unfaithful.

Me unfaithful? I'm telling you

- she is the one who is unfaithful. - Huh?

Originally I wanted to celebrate with her for getting past the first round,

but she was with a guy today.

More importantly, she ignored me and treated me as if I was invisible.

Are you jealous?

Yu Zhi, you have long been a playboy from my point of view.

I'm telling you. Gao Jie is different.

According to the internet, in the event, the leading man and leading lady get into an argument

and if the leading man apologizes on his own,

the readers all press "Like" and call him a good husband.

They all feel that you must never try to reason with an angry woman.

All you need to do is apologize without being told. The more I think about that, the more sense it makes to me.

Maybe you should give it a try.

Apologize proactively?

Just give it a shot.

Hi, Gao Jie, I--

She hung up on me.

Well... this is not supposed to happen.

It's too late for him to apologize to you now.

By the way, he said earlier you have a new target now. Who is it?

What target can I have?

Then why did he say so?

He came to see me at Fancy today

and happened to see me with Si Cheng.

I was angry at that time so I just ignored him.

So he got jealous just because of this?

Why didn't he mention and explain his relationship with Gao Hui?

Did he explain it to you?

I didn't understand what he was thinking about.

What's there to understand?

As an alpha male, he has a strong desire for possessions.

He thinks females should never look at any other male other than him.

Gao Jie, you can't forgive him easily this time.

The most important thing right now is the preparation for the competition tomorrow.

No matter what kind of person he is, I have no time or energy to think about it.

That's the attitude, but I need to apologize to you in advance.

I can't make it to the venue to show you my support tomorrow.

My performance this month didn't hit the goal,

so my boss asked me to find more clients tomorrow.

It's okay. Your job is more important.

However, you spend the day selling insurance

and need to write the web novella at night. Working two jobs as one person is tough.

Not tough at all. I will spare no effort to make myself a better person.

In this way, I can make my own choices.

By then I will one day take off like a giant roc,

so that all the powerful tycoons and gentle hunks become my pick.

Obviously for some, spicy beef will do. (Referring to the slogan on the snack cover)

Fine. Will everyone in your family be on site to support you at the competition tomorrow?

They wanted to, but I'm concerned that it would be too taxing for them

so I said no.

What about your relative?

Does she work at Rui Hua?

She works at a jewelry company. Therefore,

she should be there for such an important competition.

She is very busy and goes on business trips a lot.

Normally, it's hard to even see her.

So will there be no one to back you up?

As long as this is your wish, I can feel your encouragement no matter where you are.

Then I will give you my encouragement of love now.

[Annual Ingenuity Jewelry Designer Contest]

Hui Hui, the final competition is about to begin.

You will surely win the competition as long as you focus on it.

Mom, don't worry. Who else can win first place other than me?

Attention. All contestants and their teams, please get ready.

Our competition is about to start soon.

Gao Jie, good luck.

Thank you, Ms. Wu.

To all contestants and the audience present today,

I will now announce that the final competition

is about to begin.

Each contestant

needs to use the draft from the first round

to finish making the wax mold by hand.

And then continue through the molding and mounting,

to the eventual completion of the work.

You have eight hours in which to finish.

Since this will take more time,

there will be a one-hour break in the afternoon.

The final step of mounting

will begin right after the casting of the wax mold is done.

I hope every contestant can use their time wisely.

Now you may begin.

Masters, this is the look of the piece we are going to finish today.

We will divide it into three parts.

Since time is limited,

we will have a red part...

I think the most competitive contestant is Gao Hui.

Her design is very creative.

Plus, her production team is outstanding.

Make a change here and then add this. Just like this.

Let's go and check it out.

This part should stand out a little more.

Yes, just like that.

Please check out this draft. The edge is more difficult to handle.

This one is not bad.

It looks very professional.

Master Lin, that contestant called Gao Jie is not bad.

She cooperates well with her team. And she is neither anxious nor impatient.

I believe she will surprise us.

Contestants,

the first part of the competition round is over now.

Now it's time for the afternoon break.

The next step

is the metal molding.

In order to maintain the fairness of the competition,

please place your wax tablets on this table.

The venue will be closed temporarily.

Good luck, Gao Hui.

I just saw Gao Jie's wax tablet.

It will be hard to outperform her.

It seems that the contestants who are mostly like to become the winner

are Gao Hui and Gao Jie.

We will be in trouble if Gao Jie hinders Gao Hui from winning first place.

I heard from the other contestants that you are most likely to become the winner.

Yu Zhi and I are looking forward to seeing your final work.

Phony. You weren't even present at the venue.

Did we need to? We can just attend your award ceremony.

After you win first place, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you.

Really?

That's a deal.

Do you know what to do later?

Don't worry. I only know how to make the wax tablet as required.

I don't know anything apart from that.

Director Si, everything is going well.

Okay. We can talk more in the office tomorrow.

Although you are good at avoiding people,

I seem to be better at finding people.

I came to see you yesterday

because I wanted to congratulate you for making it past the first round.

On my way here, I heard many positive comments from other contestants, saying you're in the running to win the competition.

I don't want to talk to you now.

I apologize to you.

You're apologizing to me?

Do you know where you are at fault?

Actually, I don't know.

I also don't understand why your attitude toward me changes from one minute to another.

I don't know why you would ignore me and even mock me.

But I am a man and can be chivalrous about it

and tolerant of your occasional temper tantrum.

How kind of you!

You are making yourself into a kind and tolerant gentleman

while I'm a narrow-minded and petty woman.

Since you don't know where you are at fault,

why would I accept your apology given without any sincerity?

If you are really angry at me,

I'm willing to explain it to you. At least you should give me a chance to do that much.

It is unreasonable to sentence me to death without any trial.

Okay, then let me ask you--

[From Dad: Son, help!]

I'm sorry. I have something urgent to cope with. I'll meet you after the competition.

Contestants, the afternoon break is over.

Please come and pick up your wax mold

and embark on the metal casting in the operation room.

What happened here?

Judges, there is something wrong with my wax mold.

Go and check it out.

What happened?

My wax mold is broken. It was just fine before.

Unless...

All right. Never mind anything else.

You should hurry up and make a new one.

All of them have already started metal casting but you have to start all over.

You can't afford to waste a single minute from now on.

The competition is more important. Just hurry up.

Okay. Good luck.

Just hurry up.

I understand.

Masters, please we have to make a new wax mold.

Our time is limited, so please hurry.

There isn't enough time. Gao Jie,

I think we should just give up.

I agree.

I trust in your ability. We can use this time to finish the tablet and the molding.

There is no problem in molding it in one pass.

After all, we represent the collective honor for everyone.

I don't want the cause of any failure to be due to the craftsmanship.

I will modify the design a little to make the complex part easier. What do you say?

Then we should start after your modification.

- I agree. - Okay.

Cluster setting takes too much time.

Any tiny mistake will greatly affect the 3D effect.

Grandpa mentioned the technique of porcelain mending. It generates changes from its simplicity,

by leveraging the defect to create innovative beauty.

Now I can only shorten the molding time through the use of this mending technique.

What about now? Better?

This is fine. Let's get started.

- Then let's start. - Please get started.

This Gao Jie! She even has the skill to resurrect her effort.

It's gorgeous.

It seems that... we still succeeded.

I'm glad that everyone has put forward their amazing skills

and coordinated seamlessly with your production teams.

Now we'll enter the last phase,

namely the setting and mounting. As a talented designer,

you must be adequately equipped with

the ability to spot superior materials.

You have a full day to prepare.

We will enter the last phase the day after tomorrow,

the setting and mounting, to finalize your work,

in order to determine the contest winner this year.

Shuyi, although contestants in the competition this year are all fairly young,

they are all highly skilled.

I reviewed their designs

and suddenly felt that I'm really getting old.

Don't you just want to hear some nice words from me about Hui Hui?

Based on my personal evaluation, you should be assured of her design.

Master Li, sorry to disturb you.

What's happened?

I didn't have time to mention this in the contest venue a moment ago.

The completed wax mold suddenly broke into three pieces after the afternoon break.

I found it very odd.

I want to check the surveillance video to see what might have gone wrong during that period.

Are you suggesting that the sponsor organization didn't do enough to safeguard participants' work?

I trust you as well as the committee to be impartial.

That's why I wanted to ask you this.

Do you mean that someone is pulling strings from behind the scene?

Shuyi is a prominent representative of jewelry designing.

She has served as a judge for many years.

She is known to be impartial.

In addition, nothing like this has ever happened before.

Gao Jie, we understand your feeling.

But if you blame the committee for this issue,

it's not fair to the sponsor.

- That's not it-- - Gao Jie,

originally, I had a very high expectation of you.

One mistake doesn't mean a lot,

but blaming others for your problem

is rather... disappointing for me to hear.

Master Lin.

- Master Lin!- Shuyi!

Shuyi!

[Outpatient Entrance No. 1]

[Green Color Recording Channel]

Master Wu.

Gao Jie, why did you come?

The ligament in Shuyi's ankle has been torn,

so she needs to rest for a while.

I reacted too slowly as my mind was occupied by the competition

or I could have caught her.

Don't worry too much. It was she who fell in an accident.

It was not your fault.

May I visit Master Lin?

She is receiving treatment from the doctor so it may not be convenient.

Moreover, you only have one more day for the competition.

Right now, you can't waste even a single second.

Why don't you return first?

I will give her your regards.

Thank you, Teacher Wu.

I'm leaving now. Thank you for your help.

This Gao Jie is overzealous in trying to get ahead.

But this is nevertheless a competition.

I will make an impartial judgment.

However, the young generation these days are so restless.

This is so disappointing.

It's indeed so.

Where is Yu Guanghua?

Son, calm down. He is with us.

Please let him go, please.

Old Yu.

You are pretty efficient this time.

I thought it would just be like before

and I'd have to stay in a hotel with you for several weeks.

This is my biological son. How can he not show up when I ask him to come?

How can you be so shameless?

Young man, Old Yu is in a tough spot,

a really tough spot.

It must be exhausting to have him to act up like this in his old age.

Count it properly.

Old Yu,

we don't admire anyone else but you.

You don't just have a good wife who can clean up after you,

but also such a generous good son who can deliver the money.

Shut up!

How can you call Mu Ziyun a good wife?

An old hag in her 40s. Is there any redeeming point about her from head to toe? Huh?

She ignored my need this time. Just wait and watch what I will do to her after my return.

Can you stop embarrassing yourself here?

Just go home.

I'm leaving. See you next time. Hey, hey!

How long do you plan to stay in China this time after returning from England?

I haven't thought about it yet.

After tasting all the delicious food I dreamed about day and night first,

I will then think about it.

Look at you. Every time you mention food, the expression on your face

is exactly the same as when we were back in school.

Have some tea first.

The white tea here is very good. Give it a try.

It appears that you really like this place.

What if I buy it?

Zhao Yue, are you kidding?

I was not kidding.

I don't have much to do after coming back to China.

Nothing more than eating and meeting friends.

With a tea house that you like and can enjoy at any time you wish,

it seems nice.

You are just like before. Do whatever comes up in your mind.

Nothing has changed about you.

I haven't changed at all, not even a bit.

I'm still like before. What about you?

Talk about yourself.

For all these years,

I have been walking on ice in Rui Hua and in the Yu family.

I worked hard to build my reputation to what it is today,

but that young jerk is now trying to boss me around.

How could it be like this?

- Do you know Cilian? - Yes.

Internationally, it is a well-known brand for jewelry design.

My stepson plans to collaborate with Wu Xiaoci.

It's a blatant act to seize power from me.

Just recently, my niece, Gao Jie, went to participate in the annual Ingenuity Designer Contest.

Wu Xiaoci's daughter is also there.

Because I didn't want to run into them, I didn't even attend the competition.

Gao Jie, I heard about her from you before.

I don't have a daughter myself.

I see her as if she were my own.

She is like her mother and has a natural talent for design.

It's just a shame that her mom...

Let's talk about me.

Okay.

I don't know whether marrying into the Yu family

was the right choice.

Right now, I have to clean up after Yu Guanghua's messes all day.

That Yu Zhi keeps thinking I owe him something all the time.

No matter what I do, he thinks I have ill intentions.

From the way it looks, I must owe their family my life.

Ziyun, I'm an outsider.

There are certain words I shouldn't bring up.

But after listening to you, I don't feel you are happy with your life.

What right does Yu Guanghua have?

He created the debt and expects you to pay it off?

When reaching my age, you find many things easier to accept.

[Yu Guanghua]

Drink some tea.

[Fancy Jewellery Co., Ltd]

The way I see it, it's clear that Gao Jie's design was ill-conceived.

She failed to collaborate well with her production team.

A failure is a failure,

yet she ran to the judge to make a fuss. That's so funny.

I agree. This is like slapping our Fancy's face.

It sure was. With one look, you can tell that girl thinks too highly of herself.

(She's here.)

I already said it before. Without real skills, even after you tried so hard to get into the competition,

- in the end, you're still a joke. - Okay, okay. Enough.

You have time to mock others but really you should spend it on improving your own professional skills.

In the future, I hope I won't have to hear this kind of mean-spirited mockery in the office again.

Gao Jie, come with me.

Director Zhou.

So our star for the competition that doesn't know about craftsmanship is here.

Take a seat.

Gao Jie, it's really hard on you.

You can't even make a wax mold well, yet you still went to compete in the contest.

Your courage is to be commended.

Director Zhou, there's no reason for you to mock me with sarcasm.

The broken wax mold during the competition affected the entire brand image of Fancy,

from design to craftsmanship.

That wax mold was sabotaged by someone.

Shouldn't the company help the employee investigate the truth?

Sabotaged by someone? Who? Why?

Based on what you say, every contestant could use that as an excuse.

Gao Jie, let me you tell you this. It's not just I who says this,

even the experts in craftsmanship sent by the company said you didn't know it very well.

Even your own colleagues said the same thing, what are you arguing about?

Director Zhou, tomorrow will be the last step for the final recording.

I'll have to trouble you to get the pigeon blood ruby ready for the competition.

- Pigeon blood ruby? - Yes.

It took me a lot of effort to acquire this ruby.

Since Gao Jie has caused such a serious incident, I really don't trust leaving the pigeon blood ruby in her hands.

I think we shouldn't waste this precious ruby.

Director Zhou, don't forget

Gao Jie is the person hand-picked by Director Ju.

The competition is not over yet. Nobody knows who will win until the end.

But if Director Ju learns that Gao Jie lost because you wouldn't give her the ruby,

then I believe you know what the result will be.

Si Cheng, it's best if you don't use Ju Siying to threaten me.

I don't buy it.

Well, I am just deliberating for all of us.

With the full support by the company, no matter whether Gao Jie wins or not, it's her own responsibility.

But if it gets out that Fancy can't even make a ruby available,

leading her to lose the contest,

then Director Ju will definitely pursue those responsible within the company.

At that time, both you and I cannot dodge the blame.

All right.

What Director Si says makes sense.

Indeed, you are more thorough than I in your consideration.

As for the ruby...

I'll lend it.

Of course.

Since this ruby is in the custody of our subsidiary at a different location,

I will make the arrangements to have it delivered.

I promise it'll be in Gao Jie's hands by tomorrow, okay?

Thank you, Director Zhou.

Thank you, Director Si.

Okay. Then I'll make the call right now to notify them.

Do you two have any other business?

Sorry to bother you, Director Zhou.

I won't send you guys out.

My good boy, I haven't had anything decent to eat for days.

What if we have a nice meal before we go back?

Here you are. You are looking fine.

Are you my wife? Do I even look fine?

Could it be that you can't wait for me to die early,

so that you can seize our property?

Are you crazy?

What can I say? Aren't you Director Mu in the company?

I'm telling you. This is the Yu family.

You are the wife I married.

A wife should behave like one. Do you understand?

How should a wife behave? She should serve her husband and bear children for him.

Look at you. You ran our son out of the house.

You haven't given me any children all this time.

Right now, you're nothing more than a gatekeeper for our Yu family. Do you understand that?

- I-- - And?

What is it? You want to get physical? Go right ahead.

Go ahead. Beat me as hard as you can.

My son is right here. If you want him to hear that old dirty laundry,

then beat me to your heart's content. Come on.

Are you out of your mind? Why would I do that?

You're my husband. I'm your wife.

If we keep up this chorus of beating each other,

will it help a bit

with our relationship at all?

Director Mu's concept of the relationship between a couple

is well-analyzed.

I am itching to ask you this particular question.

About the man you stole after making so much effort,

now after some ten years,

how do you feel about him? Do you not regret it?

A couple in youth will be companions for each other in old age.

Our time-tested relationship between husband and wife

is something you young folks can't understand.

Director Mu's skill is at such a high level.

It's something I can't achieve.

[Pan's Jewelry]

You're thinking of using porcelain shards

in place of emerald clusters

to cut down the molding time.

This idea is very good,

but girl, don't underestimate these porcelain shards.

There is a certain level of difficulty when setting them.

Are the folks from your company skilled enough?

I've already spoken to them. There shouldn't be any big issues.

Oh! That's good.

Tomorrow, I really want to see you compete live in person,

but your mother...

It's fine, Grandfather. Taking care of Mother is the most important.

Also, I've already grown up.

You should believe in your granddaughter. I will succeed.

I believe in you. I really believe in you.

Xiao Jie, Grandpa wants to tell you a couple of things.

In a competition, winning first place is not important.

What's important is for you to create a good piece of work for which you'll have no regrets.

If you can really do that, Grandpa and your mother

will be proud of you.

Nobody's picking up. They should be on the way then.

Gao Jie, today, you and I will both be using rubies.

The quality of yours will be pretty good, right?

Otherwise, I'm concerned that it will be too easy for me to win.

Gao Jie, my daughter's way of speaking is quite direct. Don't take it personally.

I'm looking forward to your performance today.

Why isn't anyone answering the phone? Could it be--

He's here.

Director Zhou, what about the ruby?

I'm really sorry, Gao Jie,

but my assistant took down the wrong time I needed it.

The ruby just arrived today from the other location.

Coincidentally, it ran into a traffic jam on the way over here.

What assistant could make a mistake for something this important?

Exactly. I'll fire her first thing tomorrow.

But I really tried my best. There is nothing I can do if the heavens don't help us.

How about this? I'll go in first

to see if I can stall for more time.

See if you can come up with some other idea.

Don't be too anxious, now.

Director Si,

I suddenly feel I am a joke.

I drew the design drafts days and nights.

I revised several hundred drawings.

I tried so hard and finally got a chance to enter the contest.

And in the end?

I experienced a broken wax mold.

I thought of all kinds of ideas to make up for the time needed in crafting.

I thought I could reverse the situation in the last step,

but I don't even have possession of the ruby needed for the competition.

It means I am to be disqualified directly in this way

and yet it's because of someone on my own side.

Gao Jie, you must stay calm.

It's because you've made so much effort already that you must not give up now.

Without the ruby...

I will call my jeweler friends right now

to see if I can borrow some through my connections.

But the competition will start soon. Could it get here on time?

Absolutely. Wait for me.

About Gao Jie, let's set aside the quality of her ruby first.

Based on what just happened, she won't be able to finish while she's missing her ruby.

Out of the contestants this time,

only Gao Jie has some true potential.

However, based on the current circumstances, the title is easily yours.

How can Wu Xiaoci's daughter not be the winner when she returned to China especially for this contest?

So I told you from the beginning, you didn't have to worry.

Why would you be so concerned about that Gao Jie?

Or is it that you actually think she's more talented than me?

Of course not! My daughter will always be the best.

All right. You should get ready.

Pan Yue, you lost to me before.

Now, your daughter will definitely lose to my daughter.

Contestant Gao Jie,

why don't you get some rest in the room? Our competition is about to start.

Please let me stay here a bit longer.

The primary gemstone I'm using still hasn't arrived.

Everyone else has completed their preparation in advance.

Why does such a big company like Fancy

have issues with delivering a ruby?

You go on ahead first. I'll talk to her.

Don't start any trouble.

What is it? Are you waiting for the gemstone?

You should've heard everything already.

My primary gemstone has not been delivered.

Now I can only wait for a miracle to happen.

What kind of ruby do you need? I'll help you find it.

I'm afraid you can't. I need a Pigeon Blood ruby.

Because of the design, it needs to be a specific size.

Even if you have it, would you be willing to give it to me?

Don't worry, Si Cheng is already helping me find it.

Great. It's that guy again.

Then since you already have a hero to come to your rescue, I will just mind my own business.
