[Nice to Meet You]

[Episode 13]

Vice President Yu,

we have worked with Rui Hua for many years.

So as long as we are able to lower the price, we will never increase the price.

The 30% we are offering now,

we've already used our own profit to subsidize you.

You know the current international price is soaring.

We have no other option.

But as far as I know, you are good at (price) hedging.

So the price wouldn't fluctuate so much.

Besides, a few years back, when rates in the international market plummeted,

our Rui Hua steadfastly maintained our friendly relationship

and didn't impose on you

discounted prices based on international quotations.

If there are some

employees from Rui Hua giving you the wrong impression,

making you think you can just raise the price and conveniently gain the profit

without having to pay any consequences for it,

then I'm sorry, you trusted the wrong person.

Vice President Yu, you are overthinking it.

All throughout, I'm only talking business, playing fair with all.

Oh, really?

With respect to your seniority, I'll be frank with you.

The karat gold and fittings you provide are used on inlaid jewels,

it's different from plain gold.

The person in charge of Rui Hua, Lin Xue, who's also my grandmother,

and her people have entrusted me and Yu Yi with the care of our inlaid jewelry.

What kind of signal is that? Maybe you need to think about it.

Then, Chairman Lin now is actually relying on young people...

With good quality and no fuss, I can buy with ease.

If we need to get into arguments every two or three days,

- we may as well part ways. - Vice President Yu,

look, this 30%, I--

I know.

What I said today may require some time for you to mull over.

This time, I came to discuss it with you.

If there's a next time, then we'll have to only talk business.

[Pan's Jewelry]

Gao Jie.

Si Cheng, why are you here?

I'm am here to see you.

I have a chance to work for a famous jewelry company abroad.

Do you want to think about it, too?

Thank you for your kindness.

But my grandpa just passed away and my mom is at the nursing home,

it's not a good time for me to go abroad.

I understand your concern.

But the jewelry design industry in this country is hostile toward you.

If you keep insisting like this,

it’s also hard to get an opportunity to succeed.

The more that a person does not wish me to stay,

the more I need to succeed to show that person.

Do you miss me?

No.

How is your job going?

It is not easy to deal with those old guys.

I can threaten them with changing suppliers,

but in this trade the companies providing karat gold and fittings

are just a few. Now they're colluding to inflate the prices

and I can't find other sources to bargain with them.

I still have too little leverage.

At first glance, it sounds like a seller's market.

But the trends in the gemstone market change all the time,

there's no material that can't be replaced.

Take karat gold, for instance.

Though its flexibility suits molding better,

the perceived value of platinum to the clients who seek quality

is clearly much more attractive.

Maybe you can consider adjusting the product line,

at least to make them think

that your need for karat gold can be decreased by using a substitute.

So, once we change the necessity for that supply,

the sellers will also become buyers.

Then my leverage for bargaining will be even greater.

Gao Jie, Gao Jie. I definitely will succeed in this negotiation.

Say it. What reward do you want?

Maybe we'll discuss it after your success.

Okay, it’s late.

I need to continue cleaning up, you should rest early.

Xiao Jie.

Aunt.

Sorry.

I came back late. I didn’t get to send off your grandpa.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

[Remembering with deepest sorrow, the mortal spoils gone, long will remain the spirit]

Xiao Jie,

I hope you'll still think about my offer.

Before I didn't let you join Rui Hua,

thinking I didn't want to involve you in unnecessary turmoil.

But now, no other company will accept you.

And I won’t be at ease if you go to another company.

Join the Plain Gold Group at Rui Hua; come work with me.

I am there, no one will bully you.

With my current reputation,

you're making the decision to recruit me for Rui Hua.

But once people find out,

I believe it is going to have an impact on you.

It was not easy for you to work hard in the company for all these years.

There's really no need to trouble yourself because of me.

How can this be trouble?

As you know,

my last name isn't Yu. Within Rui Hua, I'll always be an outsider.

And I need a person I can trust to help me.

Besides, I have worked hard at Rui Hua for so many years.

If I take a little advantage for once,

not even Chairwoman Lin will say anything about it.

Thank you, Aunt, for thinking for me.

Xiao Jie.

You are the same as your mother. You have the talent for being a designer.

Don’t give up. Keep going.

You must not bury your talent away.

I really want to know

what my mom's past designs looked like.

Where did you store your grandfather's stuff?

These are the sketches by your mother made before she became ill.

Your grandpa was afraid that seeing them would make him sad, so he put them away.

At the same time, by studying your grandfather's craftsmanship,

her designs at that time were a lot more vibrant than even Wu Xiaoci's.

Though I hate Wu Xiaoci for breaking up our family,

from a professional perspective,

she's still a great master.

Even Mom

copied her award-winning work from that year.

Xiao Jie,

there's one thing that your grandfather never let me tell you.

But I really don't want to see you being kept in the dark anymore.

That you even consider Wu Xiaoci an idol

is so unfair to you and to your mother.

I think you have the right to know the truth.

There's still something else I don't know?

Look carefully. This is a drawing your mother made at that time.

What year did she write down?

This date... How is it possible that

it was one year before

Wu Xiaoci's competition?

Wu Xiaoci,

not only took away your father, Gao Hai, she also plagiarized your mother's design.

That's how she got her current position and fame.

Wu Xiaoci! You've gone too far!

Look at the newspaper yourself!

Your product looks exactly the same as my design!

You stole my husband

and my design to enter in a competition!

When I've treated you like my sister,

you could do something so mean and shameless!

Are you finished or not?

Even if I didn't enter the competition,

you couldn't even win with hundreds of thousands of designs

being hidden away in this little alley all the time.

Right now, I am the worldwide famous designer

and you are a loser;

better to stay hidden in your little alley.

Wu Xiaoci, don't go!

You can't leave! You have to clear this up!

- Pan Yue! - I drew this!

Pan Yue! I know that you are really upset that I divorced you.

Consider it as I wronged you. This matter already happened.

It can't be changed. Stop clinging onto it, okay?

Gao Hai.

You don't even have any sentiment left from our relationship?

This person.

You are helping her to torture me!

You really have no conscience at all!

Gao Hai, stop wasting your time with her. Let's leave now.

- Wu Xiaoci, you can't leave! - What are you doing?

- You have to clear this up with me! - Let go of me!

Sister!

Sister, are you okay? Hurry and get up.

They're really so cruel! Sister.

Let's hurry and go, Gao Hai.

I drew this. I really drew this.

Sister, get up.

- I drew this! - Sister...

I can't let them leave.

Sister!

Gao Hai!

When your mom woke up,

she had become the way she is now.

Your grandfather became an impassive person.

Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hai left the country.

He just blankly endured all the bitterness, taking care of you and your mother.

This matter

has been suppressed all this time, silently withstanding the situation.

What you're saying is...

If it wasn't for Wu Xiaoci,

my mom wouldn't have gotten into a car accident

and all of the tragedies wouldn't have happened?

Grandfather and Mother are both such kind-hearted people.

What have we done wrong?

We have to face the humiliation and pain like this.

Wu Xiaoci did so many evil things.

And she even had the audacity to kick us out.

This is the kind of person Wu Xiaoci is.

In her eyes, there is no difference between right or wrong.

If she wants something,

she must have it.

She never considers what sort of pain others will have to go through.

They were obviously the ones that did something wrong!

I can't watch her do whatever she wants.

I have to get revenge for Grandfather and Mother!

Xiao Jie.

Your grandpa didn't want to you have this kind of reaction.

I didn't tell you all this because I wanted you to do something rash.

I just don't want...

I don't want Gao Hai to act as a kind father to fool you.

I promised Grandpa

that the three of us would live peacefully

and not mind any other business.

But now that I know what Wu Xiaoci did, how can I continue to sit still like this?

Letting her keep receiving the honor that should belong to my mother.

Yes.

Giving in can't solve any problem.

It will just make yourself have no way out.

But fighting against them isn't the best way.

You must make yourself strong. Someday when you are stronger,

you can use your own power to prove all of this.

Mom, have some tea.

How could this have happened? How?

What are Yu Yi and Yu Zhi doing?

The price of the suppliers all rose up by thirty percent!

This situation. They hid it from me?

Mom, don't be mad.

It's because I've been on too many business trips.

I couldn't take care of all the things happening in the company.

This is my fault.

Actually, those suppliers are all deceivers,

they're just employing double standards.

Yu Zhi and his brother are too young.

In this market, after all, they're still a bit green.

All of them are big talkers.

When they actually do something, nothing can be done.

At the critical moment, we still need you to take care of it.

These kids have never had it hard,

they think that doing business is a relaxing activity.

Let them suffer a bit of a loss,

gain some experience, and it will be all right.

If any real trouble comes across, I'll immediately take care of it for them.

Thank you for your effort.

You're always like this; you care for others.

But Yu Zhi still doesn't understand you.

It would be great if he could finally understand your intentions.

Actually, Yu Zhi is like my own son.

Doing this is also my duty.

Thank you.

I'll look at it again.

Please enjoy.

What are your conclusions?

Vice President Yu, you're young and promising.

I'm very much looking forward to your future progress.

But now the suppliers all agree.

30% is a fair price in the industry.

If I lower the price, I will be breaking the rules.

So, please excuse me.

That's too bad.

With a rise of 30%, the karat gold and fittings will just lose their competitiveness.

We'll need to move our focus to platinum.

Following the increases in the average income level, consumers are more interested in higher value jewelry.

We need to redirect our product orientation.

Vice President Yu, you mean to reduce the purchase amount?

You'll replace the karat gold we've always provided, with platinum?

There's nothing I can do about it.

If you want, you can go ask General Manager Mu, she's in charge of the Plain Gold product line.

Maybe, besides the pure gold, she might need some karat gold to mix in it.

Oh, I was almost unprofessional there.

Plain Gold items have always targeted the consumers of middle age and the elderly.

They prefer pure gold and platinum.

But karat gold is softer

than platinum and will make the design look more vibrant.

Are you going to sell boring jewelry?

There's no need for you to worry about this.

Rui Hua and Cilian have already agreed to work together.

They are the most famous designers.

All these problems can be solved.

Oh, this lady said she is Vice President Yu's guest.

- You came? - Yes.

Excuse me. Who are you?

I am the First Designer, Gao Hui, for the Inlay Group at Rui Hua.

The founder of Cilian, Wu Xiaoci, is my mother.

It's such a pleasure to meet you.

Later, I have an appointment with Miss Gao.

As I said before, Rui Hua has

Miss Gao Hui now and also Mrs. Wu Xiaoci.

In the future, we will continue to develop our business in inlay jewelry.

This 30% price increase,

will make us both lose an opportunity for a long time collaboration.

That's too bad. We will leave first then.

Vice President Yu.

We are all good friends.

If we collaborate for a long time,

I can give you my benefits to show my sincerity.

Very well.

Please. Please sit.

Have some tea.

How was my performance today?

Your timing was pretty good. What you said was good, too.

You made your final move and beat them successfully.

Am I that important?

This doesn't sound like a good thing though.

Anyway, since you said you will thank me, I hope it's not just words.

Then, Miss Gao, how do you want me to show my gratitude?

I don't need anything so I'll just look at your sincerity.

How about going shopping with me?

The most painful thing for men is to go shopping with women.

This way, you can really show your sincerity. Are you going?

So, you just want to make me suffer?

Oh, sorry... Test my sincerity.

So, how can I refuse?

Do you dare?

First, come with me to shop and then have a drink.

Let's go.

Xiao Jie!

- Are you looking for me? - No, I'm not.

Then, you must be looking for me.

I will not forget what happened to Grandfather. I'm here today because I want to ask you

if you have seen this draft before?

You have seen it before, right?

Xiao Jie, don't stand here. Let's talk inside.

This draft was drawn by my mom, Pan Yue.

It is exactly the same as the one you submitted for an international competition where you won the trophy.

I really want to ask Designer Wu,

why is the date marked on this draft

one year earlier than yours?

So what if it is? What are you trying to say?

The idea is the two design drafts are the same, only my mom drew hers earlier than yours.

Obviously, you had plagiarized my mom's design!

What a joke.

- How could you do such a thing? - Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie.

Xiaoci, Xiao Jie's grandfather just passed away. She is inevitably still in an agitated mood. Please do not mind her.

The past, no matter what the truth is,

is already the past after all. So, can you please stop pursuing it. Okay?

How could I have a father like you?

Xiao Jie, Auntie Wu is, after all, a senior.

Even if it is for Mom, can you use gentler words instead?

You want me to apologize to her?

I hope that you and your mom will have a loving family.

- Can you just listen to Father's advice? - Despicable!

From the moment you left Mom, I didn't have a father anymore.

So, can you please not say the word "father" so often in the future?

You are welcome to take back the house anytime. As for the apology,

I will definitely make you atone to my mom personally one day.

Gao Jie, I can understand how you feel.

But what Wu Xiaoci said is right.

There is no way you can prove that she plagiarized your mom's creation.

Continuing to pester her like that will make the outside world think that you're using unsavory methods to take her down.

Is there really no way to expose her?

If all those who plagiarized others can enjoy fame and honor

while the victims can only hide corners, I really don't understand

what the value and meaning of putting in so much effort in designs are for.

Right. But if you accuse her of plagiarism, she will say that you are speculating maliciously.

If you accuse her of deceiving the public, she will say that you are using unscrupulous methods to get famous.

And the outside world will naturally still choose to believe Wu Xiaoci, who appears outwardly to be virtuous and prestigious.

Gao Jie, you can't win in this spitting war. It is also totally meaningless.

Si Cheng, I asked you here to help me think of a solution

not to splash cold water on me.

There is a way and only one way to do it.

That is, you become stronger than her.

Believe me. When your fame and position totally surpass hers,

that is the time to expose her plagiarism. Not only will you not be suspected,

on the other hand, everyone will want to know the truth from you.

Surpass her? How long do I have to wait then?

Now, because of her malicious intent to discredit,

I can barely establish myself in the jewelry design industry.

How am I going to win over her?

So, listen to my advice. Go overseas to develop yourself.

Gao Jie, you have great potential.

Please don't limit yourself to one small corner.

There are many overseas designers who have invited me to develop abroad.

If you are willing, I will go with you.

When you have carved out a world for yourself, come back here.

Then, you will have the capital to take on Wu Xiaoci face to face.

Let me think about it.

Do that. Think it over carefully.

Did I wake you up?

Xiao Jie... What happened to you, Xiao Jie?

Mom,

you are all I have now.

Please don't leave me.

Not leaving. I'm right here.

I have a lot on my mind,

but I don't know who to tell it to.

Yu Zhi, Gao Hui, Wu Xiaoci, they are all partners.

I can't cause trouble to him because of my own matters. For all these years,

I treated Wu Xiaoci as my idol.

I didn't know that you suffered so many grievances.

I'm sorry.

I am the one at fault.

I did not manage to get justice for you.

Xiao Jie, don't cry.

Who bullied you? I'll beat him up. I love Xiao Jie the most.

Hug!

I love Xiao Jie the most.

Let's sleep.

So what if I'm hitting the egg against a stone?

Mom, for now on,

all you need to do is to live your life without any worries.

Leave all the injustice and grievances that you have suffered to me, I'll settle them all for you.

[Gao Jie]

Hello? What's wrong? Did you miss me?

Yu Zhi.

- I... - What's wrong? Your voice sounds like you just cried. Did someone mess with you?

There's something... I don't know who to tell.

I've checked my entire contact list and it looks like I only have you.

When you ran into a problem, you thought of me. You've improved.

- All right. It's too late tonight. Get some sleep first. Tomorrow morning I'll come by-- -Yu Zhi, what are you doing?

Who are you calling? Don't think shopping with me is over. You promised to play with me all night.

It's not polite to steal someone else's phone. No one likes a bossy woman.

Whose fault is it that you are not attentive when being with me? I have one rule.

I like one-of-a-kind. Right now, this is the time you're spending with me, don't be half-hearted.

Are you drunk?

- Yeah. A little bit. - Then I'll send you back to the hotel.

Be careful! Be careful!

Slowly.

This way, this way.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Drink some water.

Look at how drunk you are. Why don't I stay here to look after you tonight?

That's really good. Thank you.

Be careful. Slowly.

Slowly.

Are you all right?

Are you really vomiting?

I'm okay. I vomit when I drink too much.

And I will vomit the whole night, too.

I just remembered that I have some matters to attend to.

I don't think I can keep you company tonight.

Will you be okay by yourself?

I'm okay, okay. Quickly go and attend to your affairs.

Go and attend to your affairs.

Then, I'll leave now.

You're alone, please be careful.

Hello?

Gao Jie, why are you looking for me?

It's okay now. I have taken care of it.

It's already late.

I will not keep you from resting. Good night.

Why does she sound so strange?

You don't need to come here pretentiously to pay respect to my grandfather.

No matter what it is, he taught me a few days of lessons.

I can only express a token of my appreciation to him.

I know the house belongs to you.

I don't intend to stay here.

But I need to make arrangements for my grandfather to be buried.

When I have settled all that, I will move immediately.

I will not delay you by even one minute.

From today onward, stay away from my husband!

If Gao Hai and you are really that loving,

why would you still mind the existence of my mom and me?

Or could you be afraid that

whatever that was stolen by you could also be stolen by others?

The two meritorious statesmen are finally back.

I know that with you taking the lead,

this problem would be solved easily.

How could you send me for negotiations there while you remain here to negotiate with the overseas suppliers?

We must have more than one plan.

This is better than putting all our eggs in one basket without a way to retreat.

I notice that sometimes, you are really like...

- Like what? A fox? - Like a chicken!

- What? - Chicken thief! (T/N: Means calculating in Chinese)

I have to thank Hui Hui this time.

Not only did Hui Hui use her Cilian brand name

to increase our chips for the negotiation,

she also mobilized the contacts that Teacher Wu has overseas to help us find our own connections,

in order that we can be well equipped.

That's right. Miss Gao Hui is the trump card of our group.

Yu Zhi, you said that you were going to thank me properly.

Your performance yesterday was a little lacking.

Miss Gao Hui, I'm really sorry. I really had a low tolerance for alcohol yesterday.

Brother, you must really thank Miss Gao.

She's the most incredible person in our group.

We should hold on to her, right?

Good, I've already made the reservation at the restaurant. Let's go.

Okay.

Actually, I really drank too much yesterday. My stomach is

still a bit unwell. I'm afraid I might affect your enjoyment.

Even if your alcohol tolerance is very poor, you should be well after resting for half a day.

You should be able to come outside by afternoon.

Afternoon...

I should be all right by afternoon.

Call me then, but you dropped and broke my phone yesterday.

I'm not sure if it can be repaired by afternoon. I might not be able to get your call.

I'll go off first. Call me.

Gao Jie.

Gao Jie!

Hello, Yu Zhi?

Hello, Chen Pinzhen? Do you know where Gao Jie is?

What happened to her? I went back to my hometown recently.

Hello? Hello? He hung up on me?
