[Stand or fall]

[Episode 27]

One. Two. Three. Four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Who's on the end of the first row?

She is too unskilled to join the competition.

I read the introduction. It said she was an actress for two years and won some Best Actress Award.

It's all old history. Doesn't everyone need a basic qualification for this show?

How can they allow anyone to just get in?

Sister Qiu, well... You aren't very familiar with the moves.

For now, switch your positions with the one behind you. Okay?

Okay, Instructor.

Come.

Five, six, seven, go.

One. Two. Three. Four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Can you move to behind me?

You are blocking me with your height.

Don't you have any awareness?

I'm talking to you!

Sorry, my name is Jing Zhiqiu.

If you didn't call my name, I wouldn't know you were talking to me.

You're acting on purpose, right?

The Instructor assigned me this position.

If you have a problem with it, go to the Instructor. Okay?

Sure. You're good.

You are bullying me!

She bullied me.

Isn't that too dramatic?

Who is that? So fierce.

Although she is right, but she really talked in a rude way.

Come on. Stop watching. Come on. Let's do it all over again.

Start from the beginning. Five, six, seven, eight.

One. Two. Three. Four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

That's all for today. See you tomorrow.

Thank you, Instructor. See you tomorrow.

Sister Qiu, I'd like a word with you.

Instructor.

Go ahead.

You... have a poor foundation.

And you've been away from the industry for quite a while.

Your performance, camera presence,

and capacity must all be worked on more.

The filming for the preliminary round is less than two weeks away.

With your current situation,

you can't make it to the stage at all.

I understand, Instructor. Don't worry.

- I promise to catch up. - It's no use talking.

After the group training, If you are still at this level,

you'll be the one who'll be embarrassed.

I understand.

- Good luck. - Okay, thank you, Instructor.

It's fine.

I'm still upset.

Come on. It's just a position in the line-up.

Don't you think that's too much?

She is so big, and she is totally unaware.

When she's on the stage, I won't be noticed at all.

There are so many older women. It's too noisy.

When will they eliminate seven or eight of them?

Then it will be more quiet.

What do you mean?

Are you the most capable one?

But you also make sense.

Why should I be angry with someone who will be eliminated?

Jing Zhiqiu, you haven't quarreled enough, have you?

Did I say anything?

You're mocking me?

Don't think that you can get in with such poor capability.

Just because you have connections, so you think you can bully people?

When I was talking just now, were you laughing at me in the stall?

Do you look down on me?

You put on a lot of drama.

After such a long practice in dancing, aren't you tired?

Besides, there is no surveillance camera here.

If you want to cry, go to the rehearsal room to cry.

Don't be blinded by your acting skill.

Did I try too hard?

I'll take it easy then.

Try it again next time.

Yes, I think you're quite right.

You know what?

That pose is too difficult for me. My back is about to break.

Okay. My dear, I can't talk anymore.

I'm going to take a shower. We'll talk later.

Hubby, why are you home?

Didn't you go on a business trip?

Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday? The business trip was canceled.

I probably forgot.

I called you all day. Why didn't you pick up? Where did you go?

I went to work out.

Work out? What kind?

M-Marathon.

Marathon?

You went to a marathon with the heavy rain outside?

It was indoors.

We have indoor marathon now?

They are so advanced in sports activities now. There are many of them.

Where is the indoor marathon?

Oh no, my stomach is hurting. It's probably because I drank cold water.

Hold on.

I have time tonight.

I can't tonight. I need to rest.

You're so tired?

I... I am really... too tired!

My stomach hurts. I can't stand it anymore.

What's going on?

This can't be right.

Are you hiding something from me?

I ran out of toothpaste. I'll use yours first.

What is this?

- Someone else made this cake. Don't touch it. - Good, I'm hungry now.

What's wrong?

You are looking at the cake instead of eating it.

What's your problem?

Don't you have to go to school?

Why don't you move back to the dorm?

What? You think I'm annoying?

Think about your status.

You are responsible for me.

I am your older cousin, not your father.

What responsibility?

You just keep eating and lodging at my place. Hasn't it been long enough?

You want to move your girlfriend in?

So you think I'm troublesome?

Did you bring a woman back here last week?

Mind your own business.

Are you going to keep it as a specimen?

None of your business.

If you really like her, just chase her.

Don't think I can't tell you have a thing for the lady who owns the cafe.

Why else would a top student like you take on a side gig over there?

What's wrong with you?

Did you pass the Military Theory class this semester?

Come in.

Chairman Zheng.

Chairman Zheng, about the incident last time,

thank you for protecting me.

Do you know why I protected you?

That's because I have superior ability.

At Wanli, I'm a veteran.

I also worked hard to create this empire.

As soon as Ding Ning came here, he not only denied all my contributions,

he has also kept suppressing me.

And the worst? It's that he asked HR to give me a hard time.

My strength is far more than this.

Chairman Zheng, you have a good eye for talent.

You're my benefactor.

What did I say that makes me your benefactor?

Ding Ning led the team to the team-building event.

I only asked you to come to know about

Wanli's next marketing plan.

Give your marketing plan to my assistant.

And you can go home.

Sorry for bothering you.

I'll leave now.

- What do you think? - He's not very smart.

A pawn who follows every order.

The dumber they are, the less you'll worry about them.

- Why did you ask him to come here today? - I needed to see his attitude.

With the way he looked, he and Ding Ning are incompatible.

That's good.

Next week, ask the head of Human Resources at the Group to come to my office.

- Okay. - Hold on.

Handle this matter with caution.

Especially that rascal Xiao Yancheng, don't let him know.

- He always gets in my way. - Understood.

General Manager Ding, why don't you sit here? I'll go to the back. I feel dizzy sitting here.

I'll sit with you in the back, then.

On the way back, we have to discuss the contract renewal.

General Manager Ding, I can sit here then. It makes me even more dizzy when I sit in the back.

Why don't you sit with me?

Probation period contestant, please mind your attitude.

Let's have dinner together in a while.

I have to go back to my parents' home to be a good daughter.

General Manager Ding, can we talk for 10 minutes?

- Okay. - I'd like to to tell you about the difficulties in rebuilding the air-conditioning room in the mall.

Please have a look at the project document.

Boss.

Did you oversleep today? You are never late.

And your face looks pale. Last night, you...

I stayed up all night last night to research changes for Wanli and Feile City's

follow-up business development.

Open the floor plan. We can have a look.

Okay.

It's here.

Sir, take it slow.

When you remove the wire, don't break the glass around it.

Thank you, Sir.

- What are you doing? - You're here.

Give me a hand to help him remove the sign.

You're going to close Lin Coffee? Why?

We're finally on the right track.

It's a pity to close it now.

Did Professor Chen find out you're divorced and won't let you keep the store open?

You can tell me if you need any help.

If you're short of money, I can help.

Who told you I'm closing the cafe?

Why are you taking down the sign then?

- What's the name of the cafe? - Lin Coffee.

Why should I call it this name?

That's because...

That man and I are totally over.

Why should his surname stay on my sign?

It will ruin our store's feng shui and luck.

- I thought... - You thought I was crazy?

I will close down the cafe that makes so much money?

What are you going to call it then?

Yi Chen Cafe (One City Cafe).

A cafe for a city.

It's very cultured, right?

Yi Chen...

Yi and... Chen?

That's smart of you.

Looks like I underestimated you.

I'm part of it too?

Didn't you tell me? You asked me if I needed money.

I don't need money.

But the cafe really needs an awesome barista.

That's why I want you to be my partner. Are you interested?

Yes! I'm interested. I'm very interested.

What are you waiting for then? Hurry and put up the new sign!

[Yi Chen Coffee]

Don't you see? This bottle has the Xuan word.

It's my water.

Sorry. How about I take this bottle? You get a new one.

But I've drunk from it.

He Yifei, aren't you a serious clean freak?

You're so sloppy.

I've worked for you so long that I've been assimilated by you.

You're the sloppy one. Your whole family is sloppy.

I've made a decision. On the cafe's shares, I won't give you 50%.

I'll give you 49%.

Wen Wen is back.

Guan Tengfei! Hurry and get up. Take the luggage for your sister.

You are a grown-up man. All you care about is wasting food at home. Hurry up.

We're both old.

- Get over there quickly. - Coming, I'll help you.

- No need. It's not heavy. - Are you tired, Wen Wen?

- I'm okay. - Hurry up! Put it there.

Where did you go for team building?

Xinchang Anlan. (hotel in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province)

What delicious specialties did you bring back?

Does your brain hold anything other than food?

The male colleague who gave you a ride, did he go?

He's the general manager of the mall. Of course, he went.

Let me tell you this. The car he drove you back last time is not cheap.

- Isn't his family rich? Is he a rich second generation? - Do you want to die?

A man gave her a ride back?

No... Well... How old is he?

What does he look like? Is he handsome?

What does he do? Is his position high?

He introduced himself to me. He said his position is the general manager.

Do you think it's high or not?

He should be considered... no, no.

- Bluch chip stock, right? Blue chip stocks, right? - Guan Tengfei.

Mom, there's more.

I tell you, his car is simply too dashing!

I looked up the car online. Even the lowest model still costs ¥‎1 million.

That qualification is really...

The key is, is he good to you?

Mom!

That's enough, Mom. Stop asking.

Look at her. She is shy.

But Wen Wen, I mean, I can guarantee you.

I mean, I can guarantee as a man that he definitely likes you.

If he didn't like you, why did he invite me, the future brother-in-law,

to go to eat together? Isn't that right?

Wen Wen, you're almost 35 years old.

You have to seize this opportunity.

If you fail to seize it, you will regret it.

Who are you calling 35?

Your brother rarely speaks proper words. He makes sense this time.

What do you mean rarely? I've always been... I'm always been good at speaking.

When will you bring him here?

Let me and your dad take a look to see what he is like.

Old man! Quit watching TV!

- Wen Wen is getting married. - Mom. You keep talking, and I'll give birth to a child tomorrow.

I want the best for you.

- A woman works so hard? - Hello.

How old will she keep working hard till? Will it be 50 or 60 years old?

- Exactly! - When you meet a good man, you must seize the opportunity.

What did you say?

A meeting?

A very important client is at the office.

Okay, okay. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Wen Wen, where are you going? Aren't you going to eat?

The company asked me to go back for a meeting. I'll leave my suitcase here.

There's nothing important in it. I'll come back to get it on Saturday.

Be careful on the way.

Guan Xiaowen, you're like this every time. You use me as a shield every time.

If you do this again, I'll have to charge you.

Ms. Chen Xuanxuan, can you please see the big picture?

Hurry and roll yourself here.

Celebrate with me the rebirth of my cafe.

Okay. I'll buy a flower wreath and head over.

Get a flower basket!

Why are you back?

I left my phone at home.

You are dressed up and look so pretty. Where are you going?

I'm going to see Guan Wen and Xuanxuan.

Really? Do you have to dress up like this to see the girlfriends?

It's okay.

- Put my jacket on. It's cold outside today. - I can't.

This is going to break my ensemble.

What if you catch a cold?

- Put this on. - Okay.

I'm leaving.

Do you want me to give you a ride?

No need. Aren't you in a hurry to see the client?

It's easy for me to call a taxi. I'm leaving.

Dress up to see the girlfriends?

And she wouldn't let me give her a ride?

So abnormal. There is something fishy.

Isn't she going to Wanli? What is she doing here?

[Welcome to Wyndham Grand Plaza Royal Jiangzhou]

She has someone else?

Hello, Sir.

Hello, Sir. May I ask who you're looking for?

Do you have a keycard to the room?

I need to use the restroom.

Restroom? This way, please.

Thanks.

She can't be in a hotel room so soon already.

- Thank you. - Take care.

Hello, Hubby. What's up?

Wifey, where are you?

Turn around and look.

Didn't you say you were going to the meeting? Why are you here?

What are you doing here?

Weren't you going to see Xuanxuan?

Yes, I'm about to go there now.

You're here to buy a cake for Xuanxuan?

Xuanxuan's cafe has a new opening. I can't go empty-handed.

Right. Right.

I drove by here and suddenly got a stomachache.

I just came in to go to the restroom.

Okay, I'm leaving now. It's time for the meeting. They're waiting for me.

Let's talk about it at home if you need anything.

Chen Xuanxuan.

Congratulations!

Thank you. The flower basket is so beautiful.

[Congratulations to Yi Cheng Coffee]

Let me see it.

Your pinyin is not good. [Yi Chen Coffee]

Yi Chen should be Yi Cheng.

Try to be more focused.

You don't understand.

This is a pun.

Yi Chen Coffee means He Yifei

plus Chen Xuanxuan for the cafe.

Are you two together?

Chen Xuanxuan, you are incredible.

You just divorced and have a new lover? You're so fast in changing the man.

You're in a relationship now. Are you trying to pair everyone you see into a couple?

It's impossible for me and He Yifei. He doesn't like me.

Why did you invite him to be a partner?

I gave it some serious thought.

He's the core competance of our store.

He has a handsome face and great skills. Where else can I find someone like him?

I worry that he'll graduate from the doctoral program very soon.

And he won't work here anymore. So I have to make the first move to make him unable to leave me.

No need to beat around the bush.

Just tell him, I can't live without you.

- He'll definitely stay. - That's right.

Your divorce has caused a lot of twists and turns. Won't he get nervous about it?

You both care about me, too.

It doesn't me you are in love with me.

Chen Xuanxuan,

- your ability to push back has grown after your divorce. - That's right.

Where did you get this strength to challenge us?

I wouldn't dare.

Let's eat the cake.

Where is the knife? Let's cut it.

But I've been on a diet lately.

Don't do it. You don't need a diet. You'll still be fatter than I am.

Come on.

Hello, please come in.

- What would you like to drink? - Two cups of cappuccino.

Please wait a moment.

Two cups of cappuccino.

Be right there.

Sister Qiu.

This is: One Two. Three. Four.

Tippy-toes. Don't step on the ground.

You won't miss the beat.

It's one, two, three, four.

That's right.

Thank you.

Sister Fei. It's late and you haven't left yet?

Yes. I just finished discussing the on stage design for the Preliminary Competition.

It's about done. I'm ready to leave.

- You've worked hard. - Why didn't you leave already?

All the other girls have already left.

My foundation is too weak.

If I don't make an early start, I won't be able to catch up at all.

Sister Fei, I have something to do. I'll leave now. Enjoy your chatting.

- Take care. - Thank you, Instructor.

Zhiqiu, you must be tired.

- It's all right. - Sit down.

Thank you.

It's a little hot.

Here, have some water.

Thanks.

Zhiqiu, I know you're the last person to leave in the entire dance class.

And you are the earliest to arrive.

Can your physical strength hold it?

- We have a long journey ahead. - No problem.

Take it easy.

I just feel that If I don't give my all,

in the competitions later on, I'll probably not be included.

I've been like a moth.

Even if I only see a little flicker of light and hope, I can't give up.

I can't give up and admit deeat.

Actually, I've always wanted to ask you.

I heard that you have a happy family life.

Your son is also quite grown.

You've been away from the industry for such a long time.

Why do you still want to participate in this show?

Is it for making another hit?

Sister Fei, If I were so concerned about fame,

I wouldn't have retired when I was at the height of my popularity.

To come back again this time,

I just want to see If I can realize my original dream to be on the stage.

I want to rediscover my personal worth.

That's it?

That's it.

Okay. Best wishes for you to achieve your dream.

Thank you, Sister Fei. I'll work hard.

Business Development Report for the Third Quarter.

I've noticed a problem.

- What is it? - Have a look.

In the third quarter,

Is the rent income lower because we turned over the high-return lifestyle stores like Banana Fitness

- to Feile City? - That's right.

This adjustment will benefit us in the long run. But in the short term,

it's a loss.

So, in this quarter, we must work hard to earn back the money.

Otherwise, Wanli's rental income for the entire year won't reach the target.

I'm afraid that it might affect your bet.

I have to double the rent increase.

How will you do it?

To all the tenants that are about to renew their contracts, increase their rent.

The first batch of tenants due in the first half of the year, I increased their rent by 7%.

In the new quarter, I want to increase it by 15%.

Director Guan, that's too ambitious.

Since I dare to mention it,

It proves that Wanli is is worth the rent.

The business was barely alive in the past two years. You wouldn't have dared to raise the rent.

It's different now.

The mall's brands are upgraded and refreshed.

And the customer flow has doubled.

The sales are also going to double.

I'm only increasing the rent by 15%.

All the merchants are making money, Boss.

You are the one who forced them.

But these words out of your mouth sound reasonable.

It's because I'm being reasonable.

Everything you say is right.

Is that so?

♫ Fast or slow, perhaps at the next stop ♫

♫ Someone is waiting for me, no rush, there's an answer ♫

What are you doing?

What brings you here?

I heard the Group is going to host a celebration party for your third quarter.

I'm here to congratulate you in advance.

- Aren't you touched? Aren't you pleasantly surprised? - Thank you.

I'll change the password to my door tomorrow.

Don't regard me as an outsider. Is there anything here that can't be seen?

Can you show me some respect? I have a significant other now.

Can't you play smart?

- Guan Wen is here? - That's right.

Ask her out for a drink with us!

Hold on. Did you come here because you're drunk?

No. Guan Wen isn't an outsider to me.

- Why is she embarrassed to see me? - Knock it off.

Guan Wen! I brought a nice bottle of red wine.

Come on out to try it!

Where is she?

She is in the bathroom.

She is taking a shower?

I don't hear the water running.

- It's okay. I'll wait for her. - You are so annoying, just go!

What is this?

It's my lipstick!

- Why were you hiding in there? - Don't get so close to her.

But the pattern of your dress looks very familiar.

Keep looking, and I'll poke your eyes out.

Don't look. Turn around.

Ding... Ding Ning!

You value a beauty more than your best friend!

How are you going to compensate for my shower curtain?

Who told you to damage my clothes?

I'll have to offer myself to you then!
