" Our Glamourous Time "

Episode 42

Why did you bring me to the hair salon?

You'll know about it later.

Sit.

Don't tell me you want to make-up for me?

Yes.

I'm not going to let you do it.

- Wait. Sit down first. - I won't let you do it.

- Sit down and listen to me. - You don't know how to do it.

I want to do your make-up. Please fulfil this little wish of mine.

Come.

Don't move.

Why is your hand trembling?

Although this is my first time doing make-up,

it won't look too bad for sure.

Why did you draw only on the outer corner of the eye?

Is this eye shadow?

Try guessing.

You want to look at it now?

I don't dare to.

Three.

Two.

One.

It's too ugly.

It's too ugly.

I think it's very beautiful.

- Very festive. - You...

I love the way you look at every moment of my life.

Why do you have to do this kind of make-up?

Can't you do something more normal?

Marry me.

No. I don't want to marry you.

Why did you...

Why did you want to propose now?

I look so ugly now.

No, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful.

I want to engrave this moment into my memory.

Qian.

Thank you for always staying behind to support and cheer me on.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

I've said before that marriage is the perfect ending for love.

I don't want to get married.

My friends said that marriage is a tomb for love.

No.

Marriage is the perfect ending for love.

Now, I want to give you the perfect ending.

I love you.

Marry me.

Put it on for me.

I believe.

I believe you understand it as well.

Your arrival...

is the prettiest, touching moment.

I believe.

Even years later,

we will sit together in the photos...

of Grey and white.

Sister, the copy department said Lisa has modified your typesetting.

She is an observer. She doesn't have the power to do so.

Call her in.

Alright.

Grace, are you looking for me?

Did you modify the typesetting for the next issue?

You gave an exclusive to Peter and put a soft copy of their brand.

Right?

Yes. Any problem with that?

I don't know what's your relationship with Peter.

However, our magazine has not yet decided to cooperate with DP.

So, you don't have the power to do so.

But Chairman Wu has asked me to do this.

He hopes that I can help you to improve.

But DP is suspected for plagiarism in China.

I think you knew about it too, right?

Then why did you go against the law and give him an exclusive?

Plagiarism?

It's not a serious problem in China, right?

Don't make a fuss over a trifle.

Your attitude...

make me feel that...

you don't really respect our job.

Listen. H magazine will never cooperate with non-ethical companies.

Especially company like DP.

DP's advertising fees...

is equivalent to 10 ethical small companies.

Are you willing to do anything for profit?

Finally, I know why the turnover keeps on declining.

It's because of this.

I'll give you five minutes of my time.

Now, Si Mei Qi's sales channels and resources are used on DP brand.

DP's turnover has increased by 64 percent.

But Si Mei Qi's turnover has decreased by 45 percent.

What is happening?

The headquarters' regulation.

This is different from what we've agreed on.

DP is the holding company of Si Mei Qi right now.

The headquarters made a new assessment after acquiring Si Mei Qi.

They are adjusting the positioning of the brands under Si Mei Qi.

After the adjustment, everything will be back to normal.

Including Si Mei Qi sales.

Si Mei Qi has been in business for so many years.

What's the problem with the positioning?

When Si Mei Qi joined DP,

it wants to become the leading clothing brand in Linhai city, right?

It wants to expand internationally, right?

- Yes. - That's it.

The headquarters is devising a strategy right now.

But why I know nothing about Si Mei Qi's assessment?

How can you turn it offline without discussing with me first?

This is the headquarters' decision. As a higher-up,

you can only execute the decisions made by the headquarters.

Peter, do you think that...

I'm a pushover...

that can be easily manipulated...

Goodbye.

The next time you come, don't forget to make an appointment first.

Brother, Gu Yan Zhi told me that your proposal to Lin Qian is a success.

As your sister, I don't know what to give you as present.

I know she's always working through the night. Her skin must be bad.

So I've ordered a skincare set...

that is very moisturising for her through the So Young App.

Let me show you.

Look. That's the one.

What do you think?

- How thoughtful of you. - Of course.

Director Li, come and take a look.

All of Si Mei Qi's products have been taken down.

Continue your work then. I'll be leaving now.

Let's go.

This is the data from Si Mei Qi.

After DP became the shareholder of Si Mei Qi,

looks like his next step is to wring Chen Zheng dry...

and kick him out from Si Mei Qi.

Looks like Chen Zheng is going to embarrass himself.

In my whole life, this is the first time I admit defeat.

Peter has taken down all of Si Mei Qi's products.

He said that the headquarters of DP wants to make a new assessment,

to adjust the positioning of Si Mei Qi's brand.

With your ill-temper, didn't you punch him in the face?

During that time...

What do you mean?

You are ribbing at me.

I can hit him. The most I'll get is detention.

But Si Mei Qi is vital.

When have we ever put up with this kind of petty annoyances.

Attendant.

What are you doing?

- Hello. - Do you have Vodka?

I'm sorry. We don't have it.

Do you have hard liquor then? The kind with high percentage of alcohol.

What about spirits?

- Bring it. - Alright.

What are you doing?

Don't you know that drinking will make your sorrow worst?

Since young, nobody ever taught me how to scheme against others.

Then, you can use your strength.

What's my strength?

Your thick skin.

- Chen Hei Hei, you... - I'm just joking with you.

Let me say it like this.

For example, me.

At first, I've follow Sister Qian when she opened her online shop.

And then I went into Ai Da.

You know that I'm a lazy person too.

And along the way, I've made so many mistakes.

But Sister Qian has always been lenient and helpful to me.

In the end, I've realised it too.

Human...

can only grow when they are in an adverse situation.

You can only march forward when you realise your own weakness.

Right?

I don't really know about business.

But I think, the same rules apply.

Right?

I believe that my smart and handsome Chen Bai Bai...

will find a way to turn this around.

Grab any opportunity you can and change the reality.

Fighting, Chen Bai Bai!

Fighting.

I realise that...

it's harder and harder for me to leave you.

This is so disgusting and sappy.

Thank you...

for helping me with the exclusive.

Since you've requested my help,

based on our cooperation before this,

of course I'll help you out.

You want to take Grace's place, right?

Grace is very dominant. She's hard to be dealt with.

The most dominant man will have a weakness too.

Especially if it's a woman.

But I really can't find the chink in her Armour.

Grace has once urged H Corporation...

to invest in a company.

It's called Ai Da Corporation.

That company was a nobody.

But through Grace's promotion and public appraise,

the company had risen to name.

And Grace earned a lot from that too.

I've read through the accounts for this. Nothing wrong with it.

But weirdly,

after the company was on the right track,

Grace had withdrawn from it.

She gave up an income. Why?

Because of a man.

Isn't this called seeking personal gains through work?

Looks like you've done a lot of research on Grace.

Congratulations on taking Grace's place in controlling the China's area.

DP bought over Si Mei Qi and gained...

control over their online sales channels.

So, Si Mei Qi became DP's puppet.

And their biggest weakness is the falling shares of their equity.

And Xin Bao Rui's surrounding flagship stores...

are in direct opposition to DP's new stores.

Now, the biggest weakness in Xin Bao Rui is Zhu Han Chong.

When DP plagiarised my design last time,

it has caused the sales for that particular design to drop drastically.

If DP wants to use middle-end clothing...

to attack Wen Da, they'll use whatever means necessary.

How are you going to defend yourself?

With you.

- What? - It's you.

Your design is Wen Da's trump card.

You want me to go back to Wen Da as a designer?

You don't necessarily need to go back to Wen Da. But we'll use your design.

If needed, we can utilise Wen Da's production line...

to produce Glamorous' products.

There are so many designers in this world.

Why does it have to be me?

Because you are my wife.

Of course I'll choose you.

Name your price. I won't bargain with you.

Ten billion. Are you going to give me that?

Of course I'll give you. Even I, belong to you.

- Enough. I don't want it. - Why?

You think about Peter more than you think about me every day.

Why do I want to have you?

- Are you jealous? - I'm not jealous.

- I'm eating an apple. - Apple vinegar?

- It's so late already. Who is it? - Lin Qian, it's me.

My brother.

Just about time for me to meet him.

No. I didn't tell him that we are living together.

Hide, quickly.

Brother. It's so late already. Why are you here? I'm about to sleep.

I've succeeded in sealing a huge business deal today.

I'm happy. So, I just drop by and pay you a visit.

Can't you say that you're here specifically to see me?

What are you holding in your hands?

Is it a present for me?

I've bought you an A5. You can choose the colour that you like.

The car receipt is inside.

Why are you so kind? Thank you.

I can see you now that I've bought something for you, right?

Yes. I won't blame you for disturbing me anymore.

Minx.

Brother.

Brother.

What is it?

Nothing.

Sit down.

- You are acting weird. - No, I did not.

Brother, I want to discuss something with you.

Tell me.

Li Zhi Cheng has proposed to me.

I want to...

discuss that with you.

When can you meet up with his parent in our parent's stead?

You've decided on such a huge matter without discussing it with me.

Brother. I'm not a child anymore.

I'll take responsibility on my own actions. Don't worry.

Li Zhi Cheng, right?

I don't agree and I won't meet his parent.

Why don't you agree?

If you want to disagree, at least wait until you've met him.

Meet him first and make...

Hello, Director Lin.

He's here to visit me too.

I'm Li Zhi Cheng.

Lin Qian's fiancée.

CEO of Wen Da Corporation.

Hello.

I'm Lin Mo Chen.

Lin Qian's brother.

Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asia.

I'm sorry. I accidentally heard your conversation just now.

Director Lin.

It's a free courtship between me and Lin Qian.

And we love each other very much.

I've always wanted to visit your parent.

Although Lin Qian always mentions about your position in her heart,

no matter how you object to it,

I won't leave her.

Now, I would like to sincerely invite you...

to come over and visit my father.

Out of manners...

and out of my protectiveness towards my sister,

we can arrange for a meeting during my next return.

Thank you.

Now, please give us some privacy.

I want to talk to my sister.

Brother, if you have anything, just say it.

We are family. No need to be so secretive.

I still have things to do. I have to leave.

Your brother is angry. Aren't you going to talk to him?

No. My brother is not really angry.

Just now, you are so handsome.

Hello, I'm Li Zhi Cheng.

Lin Qian's fiancée.

CEO of Wen Da Corporation.

So similar.

Even if the whole world asks me to leave you...

No, even if the whole universe asks me to leave you,

I would never give up on you.

- Put it over here. - I stepped out from the lift...

and I saw a lot of roll-up banner stand of DP.

There are so many here too. What does this mean?

Who is interviewing him?

Chief editor, it's Lisa.

Did you ask for my approval?

- Are you new? - You've set up everything nicely.

Grace. Do you...

have any better suggestions?

I've already told you about the better suggestions before this.

I'll never agree for an unqualified interviewee...

to be interviewed by H Magazine.

Qualified or unqualified...

is not to be decided based on your own prejudice.

This company is not a charity organisation.

Let alone your personal stage.

Don't you get it wrong.

I am the chief editor of H Magazine.

For now.

Come. Continue to work. Please move...

Hello, Chairman Wu, have you reached the company?

Please come to the studio.

Lisa and I will be waiting for you here.

Still playing?

- You gave me a shock. - Which level are you on?

You know, with my IQ,

- this is nothing. - Why are you looking for me?

Right. I asked you to come here today...

because I want to talk about an app project with you.

App?

You have experience in running Si Mei Qi's app, right?

So I would like you to give me some suggestions.

For example, help me calculate the start-up cost and some other things.

Alright. I'll give you the full calculation.

If you want to start a business, you'll need investors, right?

In order to attract the investors,

you need to find a network engineer to make a template.

Make sure it has good functions and partitions with spaces to expand.

- This is the easy part. - Easy?

After you have the template, you need to have content and data.

The whole operation needs at least half of a year's time.

And you'll have to change the template according to the client's needs.

Now, for the highlight.

Do you know how much work capital is needed in it's early stage?

It needs at least this much.

- Two million? - It's 20 million.

It's the same as running a company.

It not the same or as easy as that Bingo that you play, understand?

If necessary, look for a professional manager.

During that half of the year, you'll have to pay a few millions at least.

I'll go back and discuss with Jin Yuan.

Where is Li Zhi Cheng? He's the one looking for me, right?

How did we end up talking about a project?

I think he's on his way. It might be a traffic jam.

He'll reach here soon.

What is it?

You've asked me here to become the peacemaker again.

Chairman Wu, it's like this.

Before this, I've been letting Lisa knows that...

I'll never agree to put the CEO of DP, Peter on our cover page.

Even more impossible to give him a cover interview.

But as you can see, Lisa made her own decision and arranged all of these.

DP is an international corporation.

And it's a well-known brand.

So, why can't we give the first interview to Peter?

I think there's no problem to give Peter an interview.

Why do you need to quarrel because of this?

You have to ask Grace then.

We made an appointment with the photographer and booked the studio.

We have made the interview and shooting plan.

But Grace has messed it up.

In the end, you've put your feelings before your professionalism.

I've never agreed to do an interview with him since the start.

What do you mean by mess it up? Please mind your word, alright?

Grace, can you explain?

Peter is suspected for plagiarism on a Chinese design.

How can we let a copycat...

to be on the cover page of H Magazine so openly?

If we let things slide,

we would have failed to do our duty.

Grace, by sitting on this position,

how are you going to be responsible for...

the declining of H Corporation's profits this year?

Sorry. You thought only about the profits.

But let me tell you,

H Magazine is a magazine that has it's principle and integrity.

If we turn our magazine into just a billboard for fashion brands...

because of somebody's greed and stupidity,

we will completely lose the original purpose of this magazine, okay?

You have your principle and integrity, right?

Then what about your investment in Ai Da's Corporation?

You've invested in it when Ai Da is still a nothing.

Such a high-risk investment.

When Ai Da's products became successful...

and it's time to earn back the profits,

you had withdrawn from them.

I think you are too free.

You just came here for a short while. But you have the time...

to investigate on all of the previous investment details of the company.

What a joke.

In the beginning, we invested in Ai Da...

because Ai Da has it's potential.

It has been approved unanimously by all members in the Board of Director.

We've withdrawn from it because we don't want to meddle with Wen Da.

I believe Chairman Wu has made the strategic decision with care.

All of these are approved by him, okay?

So, I don't know what your motive is...

by saying all of these.

And I heard that...

your relationship with the brother of Ai Da's CEO...

- is quite close. - So?

I wonder how much of the H Corporation's lost...

has gone into somebody's personal accounts.

Lisa.

Don't make any wild guess...

when you don't have the evidence.

Whether or not it's a wild guess, all of us are aware of the situation.

Alright. I have to stop now.

I have to go and make the arrangement for Peter's interview.

Chairman Wu.

I've done nothing wrong.

And for all of the details,

I believe, you know it as clearly as I do.

What time is it now? Where is Li Zhi Cheng?

I think he'll be here soon. Please wait.

I can't wait anymore. You can continue to wait.

Chen Zheng, I almost pass this level of Bingo.

Finally, you are here.

Li Zhi Cheng, you are too insincere.

I came here this time with my utmost sincerity.

If you want to reject it,

just act like I've said nothing.

Wait.

What do you want to talk about?

Peter is a cruel, ruthless and cunning man.

I think you are well aware of that.

I figured that it'll very difficult for you to meet the...

CEO performance requirements as stated in your contract with DP.

They can replace you anytime.

Whether or not they replace me,

what has it got to do with you?

You can't even protect the interest of Si Mei Qi now, do you know that?

We have to cooperate...

if we want to survive.

What do you think?

Cooperate? What do you mean by that?

Means that we'll act together...

to curb DP's outrageous action in the clothing industry in Linhai city.

We'll pull Xin Bao Rui and Ning Wei Kai on board with us.

Let us revitalise the clothing industry in Linhai city.

Chen Zheng.

Our cooperation this time is to pursue a win-win situation.

I think with the current situation,

you really need to think about it carefully.

For the Ai Da's matter before this,

indeed, the Board of Directors has questioned more strongly about it.

How is that possible?

I have a clear conscience for the whole thing.

You know that I've always been supportive of you.

I've been digging around recently.

Indeed, another local company in the same industry is competing with us.

It is a strong opponent.

And the only thing we can rely on...

is our years of cooperation experience with the head office in America.

Under this circumstances,

you shouldn't argue with Lisa.

If you put it that way, Chairman Wu,

does it mean that from now on, no matter what Lisa does,

I have to accept and cooperate with her unconditionally?

Bear with her.

Our top priority...

is to maintain our good relationship with America.

Where there if life, there is hope.

What do you think?

I understand.

I won't put you in a difficult situation.

How about this.

I'll apply...

for a half a year's leave...

so that there won't be any unnecessary conflicts with her.

I don't like to talk in circles.

I'll be straight-forward.

You want to acquire Xin Bao Rui?

Yes.

Because...

most of Xin Bao Rui's store sales are taken away by DP now.

So, selling off Xin Bao Rui is the best choice for you.

You just need to change the name.

You can still earn money and you will earn even more.

Peter.

After the reform and opening of China,

the country was in poverty.

We started off a business not to earn money.

But to rejuvenate the country with business.

Father. He is discussing about cooperating with you.

Why did you talk about reform and opening up?

- Mr. Peter has already drafted... - Shut up.

Actually, mergers and acquisitions happen every day.

Survival of the fittest.

It's that simple.

Is DP...

a big fish that can consume Xin Bao Rui?

Why do I think that it's a shrimp?

Chairman Zhu.

By coming here today,

I've shown my respect to the elder.

Big fish for small fish.

You'll know which is which soon.

- Peter, let me send you out. - Just stand there.

Father.

Didn't we agree to discuss about the cooperation with Peter today?

- What are you doing? - Remember this.

As long as I'm still alive,

Xin Bao Rui...

will not cooperate with DP.

Let me tell you. The cooperation is just a trick.

What he wants is to consume us.

Silly boy.

No, father.

Director Ning, Zhu Han Chong brought Zhu Bo Yun to meet up with Peter.

It's fine. Don't worry.

If he wants to talk about Xin Bao Rui, he should talk to us.

How can the father-son go and meet him? What is this?

Don't worry. It's fine.

- Wei Kai. - Han Qing.

We have a family dinner tonight. Come to my house.

I don't think I can go tonight.

My father personally asked me to invite you.

Even if it wasn't for me, you should accept it for my father.

- Alright then. - See you tonight.

Sister.

Are you going for a vacation or are you leaving for real?

If you want to leave, bring me along.

I don't want to work for that kind of person. I'm so pissed.

Don't worry.

I won't really go.

What you mean is, this is a stalling tactics?

That's great.

I'll tell you right away if there is anything.

It's worth my while to dote on you.

I'll be leaving then. Take care of yourself.

Are you going on a leave?

Since you are taking a leave,

rest for a little while longer.

The company doesn't need you now anyway.

If you are addicted to rest,

just continue to take a rest forever. Don't come back.

The company has me. Don't worry.

I'm afraid it isn't up to you...

about how long will I be taking my leave.

This sofa...

is very comfortable and soft.

If you like it, you are welcome to come by and sit down on it anytime.

But that sofa is really soft. Be careful not to sprain your back.

Alright, I'll be taking my leave now.

Enjoy your work.

Rest well.

Sister.

I don't know why she is so smug about it.

Grace.

Why are you here?

I've been calling you all these while but you never pick up my calls.

I've heard from Cindy. You are in a tense situation with Lisa now.

So you plan to take a leave now.

Is that true?

That's right. At the moment,

it's not suitable for me to continue to stay in the company.

So I've take the initiative to apply for a leave.

I can use this chance to relax myself.

Don't worry for me. I have a strong heart.

I won't be bothered by this kind of things.

I know you must be feeling upset now.

But I hope that you can understand.

No matter what happened,

as long as you need it,

I'll be there.

Alright, thank you.

The future is in the hands of you young people.

I'm already old.

It's time for me to shuck off my burden.

Chairman, what are you talking about?

Under your management, Xin Bao Rui...

has developed steadily. You are not old.

But my biggest wish now is to...

have a lot of grandchildren.

You don't have to worry about this.

President Zhu is so fine that...

a lot of girlfriends are lining up for him.

You'll be having your grandchildren pretty soon.

Stop amusing me.

Wei Kai.

I've been wanting to ask you a question.

What do you think about my daughter?

Father, I'll go and see if they need any help in the kitchen.

Alright.

Han Qing?

I think she's very good. Very outstanding.

When you are in Xin Bao Rui,

I've always treated you like a family.

In the company, I trust you...

more than I trust Han Chong.

Thank you for your compliment.

Actually, Xin Bao Rui...

is really important to me.

Just like a home.

If you are willing, Zhu family can become your home too.

Han Qing is a good girl.

All these years, she's been silently supporting you behind your back.

You are a smart man.

You should understand that...

Behind every successful man,

stood a woman...

that will always support him.

You can always feel...

her strength and support.

I believe you understand what I'm trying to say.

Father.

I should have known that...

his heart doesn't belong to you.

Father, I know.

But I don't want to force him now.

I'm already old.

You can wait.

But I'm afraid that...

I won't make it to your wedding.

Father.

It's been so many years.

Do you think it's worth it?

Sometimes,

waiting is a kind of happiness too.

You are such a foolish girl.

I'm just afraid that this kind of happiness...

will turn into suffering...

as time went by.

Now, the second-line brand of DP...

has taken over Si Mei Qi's online shopping resources.

The promotion is going strong and it's very popular.

Do you still have the chance to take back Si Mei Qi now?

Actually, it's quite hard.

Because last time, Peter told me that...

they are going to reassess Si Mei Qi's positioning.

But he never gave me an answer.

Now, Si Mei Qi has been reduced to inaction.
