=Episode 8=

(CEO's Pursuit Tactics)

(Rich Lady's Diary)

(Some men are really too confident,)

(especially Tang Yu.)

(His confidence is over the top.)

(I won't let him have his way.)

The chief screenwriter got stomach cancer?

So, what about the project you're working on?

I don't know.

Chances are it'll be delayed.

Why the sigh?

What else could she sigh about?

It's all because of Huo Chendong.

He's found himself a new girlfriend.

Dingding.

I think this white color looks pretty good.

Speak of the devil,

and he shall appear.

Do you like it?

That's Huo Chendong's girlfriend, right?

Yeah, that's Zhao Feiyu.

Dingding, you go.

Can I?

Of course, you can.

Wait a minute.

Hurry, hurry.

- Dingding? - They're coming. Hurry and go.

What a coincidence.

Why are you here?

Is this the place

you were referring to as your friend's clothing studio?

Yeah.

Perfect timing.

Huan has just added many new fashion designs.

Which one do you like?

Let me help you decide.

Then I'll browse around.

Certainly, go ahead.

Feel free to look around.

Tang Xin.

What's wrong? Not welcoming me?

How could that be?

Tang Xin.

Let's welcome Mr. Huo.

I'll get some water.

Sure.

Mr. Huo.

Girls

always take forever to pick clothes.

Why don't you

take a seat first?

Sure.

So, this is it.

The decoration style

is quite unique.

This outfit looks nice.

If you like it...

Can I try it on?

Of course you can. No problem at all.

Hold on, let me undress it for you.

Dingding.

I'll do it.

You go over there and show her more options.

- Hurry. - Okay.

Hi there.

This outfit is our unique haute couture design.

When it was just released a couple of days ago,

a social media influencer wanted to take it away for the weekend.

I actually think this outfit suits your style better.

Really?

I also think it suits me well.

Of course.

Trust the aesthetics of our studio.

Shall I assist you in trying it?

Give it a try.

If you like this style,

you can try this too.

It's a different collection's design.

I'll give it a try too.

Sure thing.

I've heard friends praising this store before.

Now I can attend events without matching outfits with others.

Of course.

Our designs are truly unique.

Oh, yeah?

The fitting rooms are over there.

Okay.

I think you have great taste.

Which one do you want to try first?

Let me tell you,

Dingding's sales skills have got my style.

Mr. Huo.

What are you waiting for?

I'm coming.

We accept WeChat Pay and Alipay.

You scan me, right?

This is quite expensive.

Are you sure the calculation is right?

It's correct.

Our clothes have always been priced this way.

Alright, then.

I shouldn't buy it then.

How could you not buy it?

You've made your selection.

Buy it, then.

As long as you're happy.

Payment's done.

Thank you, Mr. Huo.

Let me help you.

I got it. I got it.

We're leaving now.

Take care.

Come back again next time!

Sure.

Why do I feel like

there's something special between Dingding and you?

Your ex-girlfriend?

Sweetheart, what are you thinking?

That girl is Tang Yu's sister,

someone I've seen grow up since childhood.

She's like a sister to me.

She is Mr. Tang's sister?

But as a woman, my intuition tells me

that she's not simple.

You see her as a sister,

but she might not see you as a brother.

Don't worry. Stop thinking about it.

You're the only one in my heart.

Let's go home.

Tang Xin.

There's a bit of an unexpected situation with Mr. Lu now.

Are you not planning to bring the project back?

My brother actually...

Your intentions aren't about the project.

I've already signed a contract with Mr. Lu.

I can't just back out now.

But aren't you worried the project will be shelved for years?

Like the situation in Time last time.

How can it be the same?

Your brother simply doesn't like my novel.

My brother isn't...

Alright, Dingding.

Stop explaining for your brother.

I trust Mr. Lu.

And I've already

planned to buy a house near Mr. Lu's studio.

That way, I can

fully immerse myself in my writing.

You promised me, remember?

Once the movie comes out,

you owe me a private screening.

Yeah.

Have you found any house yet?

Not yet.

It's hard to find a good house nearby.

Then hand it over to me.

My eldest uncle works in real estate.

I can ask my cousin about it.

You can trust me with this.

Okay.

I'll count on you then.

No problem.

Please come in.

Are you looking for me?

Take a seat.

Here.

Thanks.

Are you here to process your resignation?

Oh, right.

I heard

that Wan Li might be

leaving Lu Zhixing's screenwriting team.

Mr. Tang, you got quite the scoop.

Feng Cheng and Wan Li are the stars of Lu Zhixing's team.

Losing one of them would greatly

impact his investments.

It could also affect the development progress.

I know.

Perhaps you should consider

bringing "A Dream for You" back to Time.

At least, there will be some financial security.

Moreover,

I really like this project too.

Are you sure

that you really like it?

Lately, I've watched a lot of romance movies.

I've also analyzed content and market trends.

Although these stories

don't have intense events or plots,

the emotions of the characters are quite delicate and authentic.

It creates a sense of empathy for the audience.

I really like "A Dream for You".

Besides recognizing it

from a professional perspective

as having great market potential to help Time expand its audience base,

I personally enjoy this story.

It's the first romance novel

I've read in one sitting

from start to finish.

Since you're here today,

I have a few chapters...

Mr. Tang.

The screenwriter of "The Beginning" has arrived.

Mr. Tang.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

But I can't rely on others for everything.

Regarding "A Dream for You",

Mr. Lu and I are already working on it.

If you really like it,

I'll invite you once the movie's out.

A private screening.

I'll treat the whole company to that.

I'll get going.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

Are you free to swing by the studio now?

Yes, I am.

Me?

As the lead screenwriter?

Yes.

Wan Li just underwent surgery.

He needs rest,

so he won't be able to proceed with the project.

I know it's a sudden decision.

But now,

you're the best choice.

And most importantly,

Tang Xin,

you're the original author.

You understand the work better

and can also invest more emotions into the creation.

So,

Tang Xin,

are you willing

to work with Feng as the lead screenwriter?

Don't hesitate.

We both have faith in you.

Of course,

the decision to take on this role

is entirely up to you.

Mr. Lu.

I'll give my all

to collaborate with Mr. Feng on the script.

Wishing us

a pleasant collaboration!

("A Dream for You" Screenplay by Tang Xin)

(October 9, 2018)

("A Dream for You" Screenplay by Feng Cheng & Tang Xin)

(December 14, 2021)

Everyone knows Feng Cheng and Wan Li

are your right-hand men.

Given the current situation,

will it affect the project's outcome?

We're a bit worried about that.

I understand.

As for the investment,

let's discuss it some other time.

Actually, this matter

isn't complicated.

In my opinion,

the easiest solution

is to hire a movie star.

(Once there's a buzz,)

(the box office)

(won't be a concern.)

(Speaking of which,)

(I happen to know someone...)

Mr. Zhu, hold on a moment.

I just have one request.

To act in my film,

she needs to train in advance for three months.

Can she do it?

(Stars create the buzz.)

As for the supportive roles,

a few veteran actors will do the trick, right?

Mr. Zhu, acting skills can be trained,

but my bottom line for actors is

that they must at least respect their job and the project.

If they can't do this,

then forget about it.

Zhu Jiang?

Introducing actors again?

Taking advantage, huh?

What a jerk.

But he did remind me.

It's time for casting decisions.

Tang Xin.

Do you have any thoughts on the main cast?

Actually, I was writing the novel

with Peng Zhou and Lu Chuning in mind.

We can talk to Peng Zhou.

But Lu Chuning has transitioned to playing mature roles, right?

She might not fit the role anymore.

There's someone else.

Zhou Jialu.

What do you think?

I heard she's not available

until the year after next.

In that case, let me check with her first.

If she's not available,

we'll have to scout for new actors at film schools.

That's okay.

Our female lead is

the naive and unsophisticated type, anyway.

Perhaps a new actress would be better.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I don't think we need to rush about the actors now.

As soon as you make this call,

Dajiang's investment will be basically gone.

What's your plan after this?

Actually, Time reached out to me,

saying they're interested.

Time?

You mean Time Pictures, my former employer?

Or is it another company?

There is only one film company that has "Time"

in their name.

Wait a second.

Time previously owned the rights to Tang's work

but didn't produce it.

Now, after we bought the rights,

they want to collaborate with us.

That's absurd.

Anyway, Time

has already called twice.

Should we arrange to meet them?

Sure, it's up to you.

I'll call to set up a meeting then.

(Tang Yu, you pig head.)

(I've already moved on,)

(but you're still relentless.)

Waiting for me?

Tang Yu.

Just what are you up to?

What do you mean by that?

When my novel was with Time before,

you never bothered to adapt it.

Now that I'm gone,

you're seeking to renew the contract with me?

I've made it clear to you

that I won't work with Time anymore.

What's the point of you coming here

to talk about investment now?

Do you have nowhere to spend your money?

Are you throwing money at me?

You like my money, don't you?

Does it upset you

that I'm throwing money at you?

Are you really this mad?

Don't want me to intervene?

Tang Xin.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Tang, you're right on time.

Mr. Tang.

I'm sincere about this.

Let's go. I'm hungry.

Let's eat first.

Let's go.

Come on.

Quit standing around.

Tang Xin, I'll tell you what,

this place is really good.

Ask Lu about it.

Isn't that right, Lu?

It's nice.

Just nice?

The view here is pretty nice.

Yeah.

Just don't fall into the sea.

Feel free to sit down and check out our menu.

Here, take a look.

Thanks.

Here, this is yours.

Tang Xin.

You do the ordering.

I don't know what's good.

You go ahead, Mr. Tang.

Just order whatever you like to eat.

It's okay to order a bit more.

I'll do the ordering.

Let's go easy on Tang Xin.

In the many years I've known you,

it's the first time

I've seen you so eager to order food.

I'm a simple person.

I order what I like to eat

and buy what I want,

unlike you,

who is unpredictable.

One's tastes can change over time.

Not liking something before

doesn't mean that I don't like it now.

Mr. Tang, are you talking about me or the book?

I'm talking about...

During the four years my book remained with Time,

you never cared about it.

Now you suddenly say you like it.

Mr. Tang.

Your tastes are really fickle.

I'm hungry, Mr. Lu.

Let's order something to eat.

Go get seated.

Sure.

I'll invest 100% in the film.

Apart from that,

nothing else changes.

Your team, your crew,

which actors you choose,

I'll stay out of them.

Mr. Tang, you're generous indeed.

But our script

is still in its initial stages.

Are you sure you won't reconsider?

Don't act on impulse

and regret it later.

My only regret now

is not producing "A Dream For You"

within the copyright period.

But I'll make up for my mistake.

Apart from the investment,

upon the film's release,

Time Pictures will give priority

to the screening of this film.

Mr. Tang.

You're rich indeed.

It's nice.

But we still need to think about it.

I believe no one else

can make a better offer than I have.

If you've thought it over,

you can contact me anytime.

Alright.

We'll definitely consider it seriously.

Lu.

Tang Yu's offer is pretty good.

There aren't many companies

in the industry making such a good offer.

That's true.

Then why didn't you accept it?

Playing hard to get?

I just feel

that Tang Xin doesn't actually want to collaborate with him.

They might

have a history.

Lu.

I'd advise you

not to let personal feelings affect your work.

I...

Do you have feelings for Tang Xin?

You're overthinking it.

First of all,

our film doesn't lack investors.

Secondly,

what I mean is,

that we don't have to force a girl

into unwillingly signing the agreement.

It's unnecessary.

I'll ask Tang Xin what she thinks.

Lu.

That's hardly the grace of a learned man.

You're love-struck.

You're irredeemable.

Tang Xin.

Mr. Tang, what exactly do you want?

Tang Xin, can't we talk nicely?

Tang Xin.

Mr. Lu.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm OK.

I'll be heading back soon.

Thanks for the meal, Mr. Tang.

It was very tasty.

You're welcome.

I'm off.

Drive safely.

I'll do the ordering.

Let's go easy on Tang Xin.

What's wrong with me?

Tang Yu.

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

Jealous of whom?

Tang Dingding, why are you here?

Why aren't you going home at this late hour?

Actually, I...

Did you drink?

I had a little bit of alcohol.

I'm afraid that if I go home,

Dad will find out and scold me.

So, I told him

that I'm staying here tonight.

You're afraid of Dad scolding you

but not afraid of me?

Didn't I tell you before

that girls should drink less?

I'm not a child anymore.

Stop always acting like an old stubborn.

Now you dare to drink in front of me?

Tang Dingding.

Do you believe that in a while, I'll have the driver take you back?

Aren't you also drowning your sorrows in alcohol?

Tang Dingding.

Alright, I was wrong. I won't do it again.

That's about right.

Yu.

Actually, today I found a job,

and I was happy, so I had a few extra drinks.

What job did you find?

As a fashion model.

I think

if I do well,

maybe next month

I won't need your pocket money anymore.

A fashion model?

Do you like it?

Yes.

Alright.

Let me ask you.

Do you know the top

fashion model agencies in China?

Also, which major magazines

do they collaborate with,

and what is the shooting style of these magazines?

I just started

liking it not long ago.

Alright.

Since you like it, let me ask you.

You should at least know what this industry is about, right?

Including who

you will meet in your future work,

what your role is,

and what your future development direction is.

You have to be clear about these things.

I'm clear.

It seems you don't understand it deeply enough.

You don't really like it.

Dingding.

You want to be a fashion model

just because Huo Chendong

is dating a fashion model girlfriend, right?

Yu, how do you know everything?

Give up on those childish thoughts.

Starting tomorrow,

officially come to the company to work.

Yu.

I won't go.

Am I not clear enough?

Starting tomorrow,

go to the company to work.

Yu.

Fine, I'll go, okay?

Don't be angry.

Yu, I have good news to share with you.

Not interested.

It's about Tang Xin.

She's buying a house. It's such a big deal,

I won't tell you anymore.

Who's buying a house?

I thought you weren't interested.

Who said I'm not interested?

Do you know what "well-placed connections" means?

Let me tell you.

If I tell you,

you can't get angry about the fashion model thing anymore.

What kind of house does she want?

In our community, it's convenient.

On the left is a hospital, and on the right is a shopping mall.

And parking is very convenient.

This place is really good.

Miss Tang.

What do you think about this house?

After seeing it inside and out,

how do you feel?

To be honest,

this house is the best I've seen recently.

Whether it's the layout, area,

or lighting,

it's all very good.

But

the price...

I'm afraid I can't accept it.

As for the price, rest assured.

I just finished a call.

It's completely within your budget.

Really?

Of course.

As long as you're satisfied with the house,

we can proceed with the paperwork right now.

You can move in right away.

Alright.

You see, I told you.

I could sort it out for you.

My cousin

may not have other skills,

but he has plenty of real estate listings.

The men of the Tang family

really are all cut out for business.

You're right.

He became a different person after growing up.

When I talked to him,

he never paid attention to me,

treating me like a child.

But this time is different.

As soon as I mentioned housing, he found a house for me the next day.

Thank you, Miss Tang Dingding.

You're welcome.

Get in the car quickly.

Call me when you move.

Of course.

Tang Xin?

Mr. Lu.

Why haven't you gone home so late?

I'll go home after finishing this scene.

I heard you're moving.

Let me know when.

I'll have everyone help you.

No need.

I've already packed my things

and arranged a moving company.

Too many people won't be able to help.

Alright.

You continue.

Okay.

Mr. Lu.

Yes?

Can I ask you a question?

Don't.

Please sit.

I'll sit and talk.

Mr. Lu.

Have you considered working with Time?

Tang Xin.

Actually, I have a question for you too.

Ask away.

Did you date Tang Yu?

Is he your ex-boyfriend?

No.

But I did confess to him before.

He rejected me,

saying we weren't a good fit.

So, it doesn't count as an ex.

This is a bit unexpected.

I can't hide

this matter anyway.

I guess everyone figured out

that something was off between us.

Who knows he will suddenly insist on

participating in this project?

Tang Yu

doesn't play by the rules.

Maybe he wants to win you back.

Don't joke with me.

I'm not that valuable.

You are.

Both you and your novel are valuable.

It's like this.

My movie doesn't lack investment.

Dajiang won't invest,

and we have more options than just Time.

If you're uncomfortable with it,

just forget it.

No.

That's not what I meant.

I just wanted to say that you don't need to consider me.

If you think it's suitable, just sign it.

The progress of the project is most important.

Let's talk about it later, then.

There's no rush anyway.

Alright.

Well,

hurry up and write.

Don't stay up too late.

Okay.

Take care when going back.

Alright.

Bye.

Okay.

Hurry up and write. Ensure the quality.

(Win me back?)

(Impossible, right?)

(It's impossible.)

(He doesn't like me. Win me back? No way.)

Hello?

Miss You.

Let me tell you.

Tang Dingding's efficiency this time is surprisingly high.

In less than a week,

she found the house I wanted for me.

It's a super large single apartment.

Where did she find the house?

(It's from her cousin.)

(He's in real estate.)

(The owner wanted to sell urgently,)

(so the house price is relatively cheap.)

Where did my stuff go?

Why can't I find it?

You're moving so unexpectedly.

Hey, just leave it for now.

I'll come over to help you after I finish my work.

No need.

I can handle it myself.

Thanks.

I'll talk to you later.

Talk to you later.

My delivery is here. Bye.

Coming.

Thank you.

Come in.

Just...

Just put it anywhere.

Thank you.

These are quite heavy.

Why are you here?

I saw your delivery downstairs,

so I brought them over for you.

You didn't follow me here, did you?

Dingding said you're moving today.

I happened to be nearby,

so I came to take a look.

The house is pretty good.

Yes, it's quite nice.

You're done looking, right?

This way.

Please leave.

Since I'm here,

there is so much stuff,

let me help you tidy up a bit.

Let me see if there's anything I can help.

This is still not in place.

Wait a moment.

Don't touch my things.

Put it down.

What exactly are you here for?

To show kindness.

To improve relations.

Is that answer satisfactory?

Not bad.

Since you're here to show kindness,

these boxes of books are too heavy.

I can't move them.

Sure, where should I move them to?

The study.

Alright.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

No.

Double-check.

See if there's anything.

There's something.

When you leave later,

please help me close the door.

Thanks.

I've been working for a while.

Shouldn't you offer a glass of water?

You can find water yourself.

It seems

this bottle is it.

You can have it.

Wait a moment.

So?

Back in the office, you bit and nibbled on me

for almost three minutes.

How does it matter now if we share a bottle of water?

Where's the towel?

In the bathroom.

Great job, everyone.

I'll treat you all to afternoon tea.

Here.

What flavor would you like?

We'll get it ourselves. Thanks.

Come on.

Can I take two?

One for a colleague.

Take as many as you want.

Here, you've worked hard.

What would you like to drink?

It's fine. We'll take it ourselves.

Thank you.

Any flavor is okay.

Thanks.

What flavor would you like?

I don't drink beverages. Thanks.

Thanks.

There's a grapefruit flavor here.

Great, thanks.

How about

I pour you a glass of water?

A cup of coffee, maybe.

Thanks.

Can you help me make a copy of these?

Four pages, two copies.

No problem, leave it to me.

Do you need any help?

Sure.

I still have a lot of documents to copy here.

Can you help me with the printing?

No problem. Leave it to me.

Thanks.

There's a copier over there.

Do I copy all of these?

Alright.

Thanks.

I'll help you copy those files right away.

Oh, right, coffee.

Where did she come from?

Why can't she do anything?

What connection got her in?

I heard

she greeted Mr. Tang enthusiastically

at the office door this morning.

Is that so?

Is she replacing Tang Xin's position?

I'm sorry.

Here's your coffee.

I'll help you copy this in a moment.

No need. I'll do it myself.

Thanks.

Alright.

Tang Xin?

Right.

(I can't help you move today.)

(I'm at work.)

(My brother won't let me take the day off.)

(But I sent him to help you tidy up.)

(We'll settle the accounts tomorrow.)

(See you at the housewarming party tomorrow.)

Did you sprain yourself just now?

Is the pain on the inside or outside?

On the inside.

Okay.

Here. This way.

They have good taste.

I'll head back now.

If you need anything, contact me by phone.

Dingding.

Tang Xin.

I didn't expect you to be the first one here.

Come in.

Has my brother been here?

Your brother?

No.

No way.

I just saw his car downstairs.

Yu.
