Why are you here?

I'm the one who wants to ask you that.

Why are you here?

Where's my sketchbook?

Did you mail it to me already?

Not yet.

But you promised me that day.

I did,

but did I tell you

when I'll give it to you?

Are you playing word games with me?

Hey, how can you do this?

Let me ask you something.

Who gave you the right to ask me a question?

Wait.

Ask away.

When you were commenting on the red-crowned crane,

why do you want to change part

of the drawnwork into organza fabric?

Because using organza

can improve

the ethereal quality of the entire clothing.

If the drawnwork is reduced,

it will be better overall.

Not bad.

How did you know about my comments?

You were eavesdropping?

I may be a very low-profile businessman,

but I don't necessarily

sneak around, don't I?

How did you know that...

I'm a man of my word.

I'll surely do what I promised.

But the reason why I didn't mail it to you

is because

you missed one digit in the phone number you gave me.

Take a look.

(4th Floor No. 5 Lane 115 Tai'an Road, Changning District, Shanghai. Mo Fei)

I'm sorry.

It's correct now.

I'm really sorry.

Hey.

I'm so stupid.

How would he know about my comments?

Mingxuan

Someone saw Lu Zhu in Cayman.

She even went to see Fang Xiaoyu.

She said she wants to join

the model trainee competition.

Let's go to Cayman.

Okay.

Lu Zhu.

You're back in Shanghai,

but you didn't go home.

If your aunt finds out,

I can't provide an explanation.

What's there to explain?

What's the matter?

Are you afraid that my aunt will misunderstand?

Don't worry.

She knows me.

She knows that I have high standards when it comes to men.

Mr. Tang.

Mingxuan?

Come home with me.

I'm going to have dinner with Xiaoyu.

You want to bring your sister home?

My sister was gone for three years without any news.

I want to take her home too.

When can I take her home?

I don't want to speak nonsense with you.

Come out.

Go home with him.

Let's meet another time.

Call me then.

Auntie!

Zhuzhu.

Are you surprised?

Is it unexpected?

You're really back?

Mingxuan called and said that you're back. I didn't believe him.

Why did you suddenly come back?

Mom.

You two can chat first.

Come, sit down.

Mingxuan scolded you, right?

It's actually fine if he really scolded me.

You know what?

He didn't say a word at all

on the way here.

It's so scary.

You're becoming bolder.

You came back without telling us.

And you didn't even come home.

I was afraid that he'd scold me, so I didn't dare to come home.

I'll call your uncle later,

so he can come home earlier.

What do you want to eat?

Hairy crab.

Mrs. Wu.

Eat slowly.

They're all yours.

No one else can eat them, okay?

Zhuzhu.

It's not vacation time now.

Why did you suddenly come back?

Say something.

Your uncle is asking you a question.

I...

What exactly happened?

She

withdrew from school.

Withdrew from school?

Why did you withdraw from school?

I...

I want to be a model trainee in Cayman.

I've already passed.

If you really want to work at Cayman,

at least you have to finish your school.

I don't like my major.

I don't like business administration at all.

I want to be a model.

What's so good about being a model?

You must study hard and graduate from school.

Help your uncle and cousin out at the company in the future

and manage the business.

That's how you'll have a bright future.

Indeed, back then,

when your cousin and I

choose that major for you,

that was what we thought too.

After you graduate,

you can help out at the company.

I really don't like my major at all.

I don't want to manage the company either.

I just want to be a model.

This is ridiculous.

If business administration was something that could speak,

it wouldn't like you either.

Why am I being ridiculous?

Why can't I be a model?

Why can't I choose a major

that I like?

Don't drag down my future

because of your feud with Fang Xiaoyu, okay?

I'm an adult already.

I have the right to decide my own life.

That's enough.

You just saw each other, and you're fighting already.

Zhuzhu.

Actually, wanting to be a model

isn't a bad thing.

Your cousin knows a lot of people here.

He can actually talk to those teachers.

When you're on vacation,

you can come here to have fun.

You didn't need to withdraw from school.

Have fun?

I'm really not here to have fun.

I want to be a model.

I want to be a professional model.

A world-famous supermodel.

However,

it's not impossible for you to become a world-famous supermodel.

If there was a supermodel for children's wear,

I would surely be the first to recommend you.

What do you mean by that?

Can't I have my own dream?

Right.

You just think about yourself.

Since I was little, you've arranged everything for me.

But did any of you ask me

what I want

and what I like?

No one ever care about how I feel.

I'll go. I'll leave, okay?

Zhuzhu.

I'll make my own decisions. You all don't need to interfere.

Lu Zhu. Lu...

Zhuzhu.

Look at her.

Go and check on her. She...

Why chase after her?

Mom.

Dad.

What are you thinking about?

How is Zhuzhu now?

She's just like a child throwing a tantrum.

She'll be fine tomorrow.

Cayman

is the leading modeling agency

in the country.

If Lu Zhu

really wants to,

we can allow her to be a trainee.

It's just that Fang Xiaoyu...

No matter how much Fang Xiaoyu hates me,

I don't think he's that petty.

Based on the personality

of Lu Zhu,

if we don't allow her to go,

she'll run away from home.

Yes.

All right, let's not talk about that first.

I want to discuss something with you.

After acquiring SLC,

I want to merge it with Songtang,

so that it won't look too insubstantial.

Dad.

Perhaps you won't like

what I'll be saying.

Tell me.

In our entire group,

Songtang

is indeed

the sub-brand with the worst sales performance.

What do you mean?

You also support

the dissolution of Songtang?

When I was in my 20s,

I was a worker in a textile factory.

Later on, I engaged in foreign trade

and produced ready-made clothes

till we have the Mingyuan Group now.

You can say that in my entire life,

I've been in the clothing industry.

The company I want to expand the most

is actually Songtang.

Its craft,

its Asian element,

and its spirit

are worth passing on in this industry

from generations to generations.

It's such a shame

that I didn't manage it well.

Dad.

I know that you've invested

a lot of effort

in Songtang.

But this is the problem of the times.

It's not your fault.

Let's not evade the responsibility.

We're the ones who lead the taste of consumers.

Songtang

has Asian element.

What does it signify?

Our ethnic element.

It's international

and ever-lasting.

So this brand is worth promoting

to the world.

If Mingyuan loses Songtang someday,

where will Mingyuan's spirit be?

What will be left of Mingyuan?

I think

it will just be an empty shell.

(Xiongying's Design Studio)

I guess that's it.

There shouldn't be any problem.

Will the client be coming to try on the clothes later?

Mo Fei.

Go home first.

I'll talk to the client.

I'll call you if there's any problem.

I must see the clothes on the client,

so I can make proper adjustment.

Mr. Pan, my evening gown...

So

the client is Bai Xiaoman?

Mr. Pan.

How can you find someone

of such low standards to make my gown?

You want to attend a charity banquet.

Mo Fei wants to produce a good design.

Why can't you two

take this opportunity

to let go of your prejudice towards each other?

So you're going to wear this

to a charity banquet?

That's right.

My boyfriend

will bring me

to the fashion charity banquet this year.

What do you think?

You didn't expect that, right?

If I knew it was you,

I wouldn't have accepted the work at all.

You're mad?

I don't even want to wear it.

All right.

That's enough from both of you.

You haven't fought enough in school,

but I've heard enough here already.

Teacher, can you help me check

if more alterations are required?

That's enough, you two.

Let me see what you've designed.

Sit down.

The neckline

is so high.

Are you preparing to make it into a face mask

or a headgear?

Are you making a nun's habit?

Being sexy doesn't mean showing skin.

Besides,

a model

is just a tool for showcasing clothes.

If you can't even do that,

why be a model?

But the problem is

I can't see the aesthetic design

of your gown.

Forget it

if you don't want to wear it.

Mr. Pan, I'll go ahead.

Don't go.

Aren't you the designer?

Don't you need

to help me change or something?

Let me try on your design.

In school,

you've always been arrogant.

Now,

you need to help me get changed.

Do you need help?

If you treat me better,

perhaps

I can introduce some clients to you.

Even if I starve to death,

I'll never accept your charity.

Excuse me.

(Retro, pocket)

Very lifelike.

(But I don't smoke anymore.)

(Do you mind if I smoke?)

(Do you like my place?)

(But you'll only stay for a week.)

(No, I've already been here last year.)

(Is this your first time here?)

(Is this your first time here?)

I'm going to order food. I'm a bit hungry.

Fei.

Fei.

You're home?

I passed.

Passed what?

Cayman.

Modeling.

Congratulations.

I'm going to get food delivered. Do you want anything?

I'd like fried chicken.

I just got into modeling, and you're letting me eat fried chicken.

Won't you get me fired?

I don't want it.

Fine.

Do you want a beef salad?

That's more like it.

Fei, stop looking at that.

Come on, look at me.

What's different about me?

Different?

The Mo Fan in front of you now

isn't that athlete anymore.

I'm a rising male model.

Can't you look at me?

Aren't you happy that I got in?

It's not that I'm unhappy.

It's...

It's mom.

Are you going to betray me, you traitor?

Hey, show some respect.

Treat me better,

or I might

let it slip someday.

Don't you dare.

I'll have a duel with you today.

Come on, try me.

You brat.

You're fighting with your sister?

Fei, your phone is ringing.

Try... try and move again.

Hello?

I'm here.

I'll be right down.

Bye.

Hey, that was fast.

Go.

It's your turn today.

I'll deal with you when I come back,

pal.

Why are you here?

Wait.

(Gua Gua Food Delivery)

-Hi. -Hi.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

He's so fierce.

(Gua Gua Food Delivery)

I'm sorry.

I want to ask you.

Who is the one in this drawing?

Brad Pitt.

My goodness.

Lo... Look.

Look at this.

The short hair,

the nose.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Fine. Is there a need for this?

You don't like any of them?

Mr. Pan, I'm really sorry.

The overall level of the students this year

might not really be up to par

to become a trainee at Cayman.

It's fine.

The level of students differs each year.

If you cannot find anyone this year, let's see next year.

It's just that you've wasted your effort in coming here today.

We're old friends. Why are you being so shy?

I'll go ahead then.

Mr. Pan.

Did your student draw this?

She did.

But it's not her graduation project.

I think

this is so much better

than the others.

You finally appreciate

my student here.

But this student is good indeed.

I can say that she's the best one I've ever taught.

(Annual Sales Percentage of Competitors in the Fashion Industry)

(BoBo increased by 4% this year Yaxu increased by 12% this year)

(Songtang decreased by 20% this year)

(Langzhi increased by 2% this year Kaibei increased by 2% this year)

Everyone.

I don't agree with dissolving Songtang.

Mr. Tang.

Aren't these data enough

to show you what the problem is?

Mr. Xia.

We started establishing ourselves with Songtang.

It's our starting point and foundation.

Without Songtang back then,

today,

we won't have the Mingyuan Group.

I actually think

that if you keep holding on to Songtang,

in the end,

Mingyuan will be gone.

Mr. Tang.

I know

that it's very important

to make the Chinese style international.

However, profit

is more important

to shareholders like us.

If I say that I have a way

for Songtang to overcome its current difficulties

and gain an even bigger profit,

what will you do?

Mingxuan.

Go on.

In the past few days,

I did a comprehensive analysis

on Songtang.

If we break

the inherent idea

of traditional Chinese clothing,

from fabric

to the traditional technique,

we can change

the overall image of Songtang

and position it

in entry-level luxury level.

At the same time,

it will be a win-win for both reputation and profit.

How do you plan to make this dream of yours come true?

There are three steps.

First,

we must have an in-depth collaboration

with Fashion Daily.

I'll use Songtang

as the first series

for Mingyuan Fashion

and Fashion Daily's first collaboration.

Second,

I insist

on acquiring SLC.

And third,

Mingyuan Fashion will launch

a variety show

called

"Chinese Style Fashion".

Through this show,

we can do our marketing and promotion

on television

and online platforms.

At the same time,

we'll choose

some young contestants

who are talented and passionate

to join Songtang

and transform

Songtang.

Mingxuan.

Are you confident about this?

Dad, do you have any concerns?

I'm old now.

Ten years ago,

I would have supported you.

And I'll take a gamble

together with you.

You must get one thing clear.

All your decisions

will affect your future and fate

in Mingyuan.

I think what we discussed last time

makes a lot of sense.

You,

me,

Songtang,

and Mingyuan,

our destinies are bound together.

If Mingyuan loses Songtang,

is it still Mingyuan?

That's why I'm willing to take a gamble.

You've mentioned SLC at the meeting earlier.

The acquisition price

is a point of disagreement indeed.

But more importantly,

our ideologies are different.

For example,

they think that the manufacturing technique of our clothing

can't meet their requirements.

Mr. Wu from Fashion Daily

also mentioned that.

He said the key for us to make our clothing

more acceptable and well-liked by young people

lies in our technique

which is very important.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

I know there's an old embroidery workshop in Suzhou

called Li's Embroidery Workshop.

Their technique has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Think about it.

If we combine Songtang

and Li's Embroidery Workshop's techniques,

won't that be interesting?

You're referring to those old craftswomen?

Because of historical reasons,

most of them

operate things like a family business.

So in terms of the brand market

and setup,

they don't have many ideas.

I just need

to fulfill their requests as much as I can.

That's not what I mean.

I'm talking about humanity.

Business is business.

What does it have to do with humanity?

See?

You're young and reckless indeed.

I was just like you before.

Now, I'm most worried

about your

inflexible attitude.

You must know

if you act this way in front of those old craftswomen,

you'll encounter setbacks.

Compared to business,

perhaps they'll value

sentiments more.

Remember.

Sentiments.

All right.

Stop lecturing me,

Dad.

Here, drink.

Do you like the taste?

I still can't tell what's good about it.

It will get better in the future.

Drink more.

Mo Fei, don't you understand what I said

or what?

Didn't I already tell you?

This neckline

must highlight my sexy collarbone.

My collarbone.

Look at your neckline.

It's not high or low.

It's weird.

Do you understand designs or not?

If I lower the neckline more,

you won't be exposing your collarbone,

but your breastbone.

In order to polish your curves in front,

I've already racked my brain.

You're a professional after all.

Don't you know how to hide flaws?

Hide flaws?

What kind of attitude is that?

What kind of attitude do you have?

You don't know how to do it yourself,

yet you come to other people's place

to make comments.

Because

I'm your client.

So you think you're always right?

Excuse me.

Mr. Fang.

Excuse me.

Did you make this?

I'm Cayman's design director,

Fang Xiaoyu.

You...

You're Fang Xiaoyu?

The genius designer who won the Youth Design Award in France

at 16 years old?

This is nice.

A couple of days ago, Mr. Pan and I

were just complimenting this.

Clothes

need to be worn.

Some designers

have a mind of their own.

They don't consider

the clients' needs.

Right.

The clients' needs are quite important.

After all, they're spending money.

They think

they have the right not to respect

the designer's aesthetics and taste.

I've seen your original sketch.

This isn't the effect you want.

But it didn't affect how you brought your talent into play,

didn't it?

Thank you, Mr. Fang.

Do you have time for coffee?

But I'm not done here yet.

What else do you need to do?

Could it be that Ms. Bai asked you

to help her change her clothes?

Of course not.

Of course not.

Then...

Then let's go next door.

Sure.

Let's go.

You and Bai Xiaoman don't have a good relationship?

It's not that.

We're just

acquaintances.

Mr. Fang, can I ask you a question?

In terms

of the neckline design earlier,

what is your opinion?

Weren't you very confident earlier?

Actually,

people

have different ideas

on the neckline design.

Acknowledgment comes from understanding.

This is related to tacit understanding.

If I made it,

I would have also done the same.

See?

That's what I thought.

Every time, I must explain to others

for a very long time regarding the neckline.

Actually, it's quite lonely to be in this industry.

If we can meet someone

who has a similar ideology as ours,

we'll feel like it's a gift from Heaven,

just like

drinking coffee with you here now.

Isn't it a miracle?

It was nice chatting with you today.

By the way,

Ms. Mo,

this is my business card.

If you need anything,

contact me any time.

Thank you, Mr. Fang.

I'll get going then.

Take care, bye.

Bye.

Mo Fei.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Don't you know what's the matter?

You stole the man I like again.

I stole again...

What exactly are you talking about?

Stop pretending.

You think I don't know?

Back in university,

you got me expelled.

In front of a senior I liked,

you kept showing off.

It was the same today.

You embarrassed me in front of Fang Xiaoyu.

I'm not done yet.

Do you think I'm a pushover?

You think I won't dare to do anything to you?

What do you want?

I'm warning you.

Stop ruining my plans.

Otherwise, I'll beat you up whenever I see you.

I'm talking to you!

How are things over at Ms. Li's?

The specialists we sent

were all sent back.

Tell me.

Could it be that our competitors

pulled some tricks?

Let's not think about that first.

Let's do what we have to do on our side first.

Mingxuan.

Do you want to reconsider?

Since the embroidery workshop

has no intentions of collaborating with us,

why should Mingyuan

lower itself to beg them?

Didn't you show me lots of them before?

But in terms of Suzhou embroidery,

Ms. Li has the most kinds

and the most complete ones.

What if you work

on the Chinese style fashion first?

I'll go there myself.

You'll go there yourself?

Why not?

(Kaixuan)

(ECSCP application outfit Send out on April 25)

Fei.

You...

You cleaned all these up?

Wait, why did you bring stuff back again?

Where should I put them?

Fei.

I found some money today.

I especially bought delicious food for you.

Really?

Where did you find it?

On your bed.

Isn't this

the clothing you were supposed to bring

to the design institute in France?

Not anymore.

Why?

Doesn't this look great?

What's going on?

Look.

This part of the sleeve isn't right.

The sleeves

are very nice.

How perfunctory.

You insist on letting a layman like me take a look at this.

How would I know anything about it?

I'll talk to you later.

Where are you going?

Oh, right. I'm traveling tomorrow.

Take care of this place.

Remember to feed the fish.

I think it looks quite nice.

(Why is there no audio?)

Is it a system warning?

(There's audio now)

You... You're alive?

(What do you think?)

(When will you be online tomorrow?)

You...

You're asking about a live broadcast?

I'm going to Suzhou tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be online.

(Why will you go to Suzhou?)

I'm going to an embroidery workshop

to learn Suzhou embroidery.

(You'll surely be taking the earliest train then)

Wait.

How did you know?

Could it be that he's

a pervert who's stalking me?

Wait.

Why is he offline?

(Suzhou Station)

Yang Guang.

Ask for directions.

Ask her

how to go to the embroidery workshop.

Isn't she

that stubborn girl?

(Suzhou Station)

Ms. Mo.

It's you.

I...

It's so nice to see you.

Well...

Do you know how to get to the Suzhou embroidery workshop?

What's the matter?

Well,

my boss

is going to the Suzhou embroidery workshop

to discuss business.

My GPS

can't...

can't find the way.

I'll help you find it.

Wait.

My boss

is especially

difficult to get along with.

We're both oppressed by our bosses,

right?

So

can you take me to the Suzhou embroidery workshop?

You won't say thank you

for the ride?

You won't say thank you

when someone's leading the way for you?

Hello?

What is Mr. Tang doing?

Why won't he answer his phone?

Did he forget the event in the afternoon?

Ms. Xia.

Well...

Mr. Tang is busy today.

And

his schedule suddenly changed.

I told your secretary already.

Didn't she tell you?

What is he busy with?

Why didn't he tell me that he canceled this schedule?

I'm sorry, Ms. Xia.

Tell him to answer the phone then.

Mr. Tang

isn't free now.

All right.

Then tell him

to call me when he's free.

All right.

Mr. Tang.

Thank you for coming such a long way for this matter.

However,

I'm very sorry.

Actually, over the phone,

I've already told Ms. Xia.

Li's Embroidery Workshop

doesn't have any plans of being acquired.

Is it the price?

No.

The price you offered

is way beyond what I imagined.

Based on what I know,

a few companies also want

to acquire this workshop.

But I believe you can tell

that Mingyuan is the most capable.

We're high-end.

It will be beneficial to the embroidery workshop's future.

You're right.

Mr. Tang, please have some tea.

Ms. Li.

Actually, I'm quite familiar

with the embroidery workshop's financial situation.

There are some problems with the embroidery workshop indeed.

However,

compared to commercializing the operations of the embroidery workshop,

these problems

aren't major.

Is that really so?

Based on what I know,

the embroidery workshop didn't make any profit

in the past six months.

Furthermore, within past six months,

five embroiderers already left.

Ms. Li.

Please don't ruin the embroidery workshop's future

due to your own selfishness.

How can you be sure

that we'll have a future if we collaborate with Mingyuan?

Of course I'm very sure.

As long as you're willing to collaborate with us,

within a short amount of time,

we can invest a lot of funds into the embroidery workshop.

And to support

our strategy of going international,

we can promote the embroidery workshop

and increase awareness for your brand both locally and abroad.

Through the brand effect,

I think we can attract more people.

I even have another idea.

We can collaborate

to open a school.

Mr. Tang.

I'm really busy.

Please leave first.

I don't think it's necessary for us

to continue our discussion.

Regardless if we'll be collaborating or not,

thank you so much.
