[Nice To Meet You]

[Episode 3]

Teacher Wu, this way, please.

Hello, Teacher Wu.

Hello, everyone.

In your office, there is also an operational lab.

Usually, companies will locate the operations lab in the factory.

It seems that your facilities are very comprehensive.

That's a must.

Can we look around?

Of course. No problem.

Coincidentally, Teacher Wu can give us some feedback on our designer's works.

Here, this way.

Continue working!

This way.

Everyone, please take a break from what you're working on for a moment.

I probably don't need to do an introduction for this person.

Wu Xiaoci, Teacher Wu.

Next to her is Teacher Wu's daughter, Miss Gao Hui.

Today, they came to visit our Fancy. This is a rare opportunity.

You can show her your products

to get Teacher Wu's feedback.

Please.

This is our designer, Jiang Xiaosha.

- Hello. - Hello, Teacher Wu.

Pretty nice.

The person over there is also-

Fancy really does know how to discover designers.

A designer with these kinds of ideas is rare.

Mom, look at this design. Doesn't it look familiar?

Could this designer be a fan of my mother?

Director Zhou,

I know that in the jewelry industry now, it is quite common to learn from each other.

I never imagined that a designer in Fancy

would also like to borrow ideas from our work at Cilian.

Hui Hui, you have to be careful with the diction of your words.

There are many similarities of designs in the Chinese Style.

You can't lump these different matters together.

Then, it should be called, paying homage to, right?

Jocelyn, what's going on with this design?

Miss Gao, I think you've misunderstood.

It is true that I like Teacher Wu's Butterfly series very much,

but I don't have any intent of borrowing from

or mimicking Teacher Wu's work.

That you think so may be because my design

is also based on the attributes of the butterfly.

However, I used a structure inlaid with loose diamonds

to express the dynamic sensation of that moment when the wings open.

In terms of radian, angle, and expression,

it is entirely different from Butterfly Dance.

A jewelry piece with the same design.

If people see this,

they will think of similar creations that are better.

I'd think it was copying. What about you?

Especially at the tail end of your butterfly,

the way you arrange the structure is too simple and crude.

This is just a small adornment, but you actually used claws to set the loose diamonds.

Even a new apprentice would not do that.

Don't you know that drilling a hole directly

will show the fire and luster better?

This is because not only can the claw setting preserve the integrity of the diamonds,

it facilitates mass production at the assembly line.

- So-- - Enough, enough.

Gao Jie, can you stop arguing?

You should accept the feedback from experts with humility

and mend the gap where you are lacking.

This girl is also called Gao Jie.

She has the same name as Pan Yue's daughter. Could this be a coincidence?

Teacher Wu,

there's another designer here who's very good.

Here, this way.

Director Zhou,

I want to see the background information of your designer, Jocelyn.

Is that all right?

- Gao Jie's information? - Yes.

Of course, not a problem.

Then after I collect it, I'll send it over to you.

Then thank you.

- Then I'll send you out up to here.- Very well.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye, Miss Gao.

Gao Jie's information?

Mom, I admit that

the facilities and services at Fancy are all pretty good,

but I don't think it's the right fit.

The group behind Fancy is in the finance field.

It has no experience in the jewelry business at all.

I don't want to face a group of old foxes who only know about capital and

nothing about sentiments to explain my designs in the future.

I know. I'm taking you around

to let you see other potential competitors.

Look at Jocelyn today.

I think her design is interesting.

Although you can dominate them with your words,

you also need to see their strengths.

It doesn't matter which company we choose to collaborate with

the most important thing for you right now

is to emerge as the winner in the annual Creative Designer Competition.

This is the foundation upon which you can establish yourself in our trade. Do you know that?

I got it, Mom. Let's go.

I can't go today.

At the last minute, Grandmother asked me to attend the meeting at the factory with her.

I need to go immediately.

What meeting do you need to attend at this late hour?

Don't you know how hardworking Grandmother is?

Before the market launch of a new product, it's common to have meetings overnight.

I can't show any weakness. Otherwise, Mu Ziyun will take me as a joke.

Then you're saying that I'll have to go by myself?

That's right. Let me remind you of a few things.

What Gao Hui can least tolerate is for someone to stand her up.

You must convince her tonight

to help us connect with Wu Xiaoci by getting an appointment.

In addition, Gao Hui has a very proud personality.

You must never confront her head on. Okay?

Fine. I got it.

That's amazing.

Do you want another ten minutes to find someone more capable?

How about if the loser buys drinks for everyone tonight?

- Great!- Excellent!

Hui Hui, I followed you to Shanghai from America.

Do you have to be so heartless with me?

Why did you call me that?

I already said last time.

If you lose, then stop clinging onto me.

You brought so many people here today yet you still lost.

You men really can't be taken seriously.

I can't agree if you put it that way!

Who is that?

Just for men's pride, I will play a round with you.

And who are you?

Someone who can beat you.

Thinking so highly of yourself?

Who breaks first?

Lady's first.

Don't regret it. I've never lost when I break.

I don't want to win too fast either.

If I win, you have to treat everyone to their drinks.

There are many people here tonight. It won't be cheap.

A gambler has to accept the risk of losing.

However, to bet money on a beauty like you...

it can't be simply to buy drinks.

If I win, let me treat you to a meal.

It's the last one.

But making a girl pay the tab is not what a gentleman should do.

It's my treat for all the drinks tonight. Put it on my tab.

Okay!

So... can I treat you to a meal?

You already treated everyone here to drinks. Does your card have enough of a limit to treat me to a meal?

If mine isn't enough, there's still Yu Yi's.

Yu Yi? Who exactly are you?

Yu Yi and I booked a restaurant for next Monday. I hope you and Mrs. Wu Xiaoci will do us the honor.

What?

I'm Yu Zhi. Yu Yi is my cousin. Nice to meet you.

Excuse me gentleman, the food has already been ordered for over an hour. The kitchen's asking whether they can start cooking.

Please wait a little longer. Thank you. Sorry about that.

I'll give her a call and hurry her.

We agreed on 11:00. They are still not here. She's clearly trying to show who is in charge.

If we call now, it'll imply that we got impatient and lost our composure.

To me, efficiency and getting results are the most important. Have you never heard of this saying?

Wasting time is like wasting money.

I really like this type of a gamble anyway.

Don't worry. The time you're losing now will be earned back later.

Your attitude sure is nice, but we don't know if Gao Hui's attitude is just as good.

She has such a competitive personality and yet you beat her at pool a few days ago.

Maybe she is late today on purpose.

You already said she has this competitive spirit.

With her personality, would she give up that easily? Don't worry. She'll definitely come.

All right. Let's wait then.

Let's have some fun. Let's make a bet.

If they don't come by 1 o'clock, you pay for this meal. Deal?

Okay. It's a bet.

You lost.

It appears that I'm treating but you're paying.

- Hello, Teacher Wu. - Teacher Wu.

Hui Hui, long time no see. You're looking even prettier.

Senior, I haven't seen you for a while. It seems your skill of complimenting others still has not seen much improvement.

My apology. We've made you both wait.

Jin Furong Diamond's Director Yang was at our door early this morning. He insisted that we head there for a look. It held us up.

It's fine. You must be hungry since you have been out for so long. Let's start.

Please.

I'll treat everyone to pork tripe and chicken casserole for lunch. How about it?

Okay!

Let's all go and reserve the seats, all right?

It isn't payday today. Why are you so generous?

Since becoming eligible for the competition, I still haven't treated everyone to a meal yet.

Gao Jie, come with us.

I'm not going. You go ahead.

I knew you were going to say that. Treating you to a meal is harder than treating our manager.

Wenwen, can you revise this design sketch?

Director Zhou, I'm paying for lunch today. Do me the honor as well?

Okay, no problem.

You go first. I'll follow in a minute.

- Hurry up. - Okay.

Jocelyn, you sure are something. You've learned how to tattletale.

Don't you know that the HR Manager is my partner in sports?

When you started this job as a newbie, weren't you taught you need to understand the rules of the workplace?

You don't even know the rules of the workplace. You won't be able to do well no matter where you go.

You harassed me when we were in Southeast Asia. You sent me to that dangerous mine on purpose.

You're the one who broke the rules. I've been tolerant time and again. I wanted to have a fair chance at the candidate selection.

Yet you still played dirty tricks. Aren't you way over the line?

What tricks did I play?

Can't accept it? If you can't accept this, you can continue to report to the higher-ups.

Even if you report all the way up to Ju Siying, you will not get any benefit out of it.

Also, that snowflake you designed feels so cold upon the first look.

It also emits such an aura of fake prudence,

that even your Director of Design couldn't cover for you. What else can you say?

Even if I let you participate in this competition,

can you guarantee that you'll win? Do you know Wu Xiaoci's daughter is also participating?

She's won awards from abroad. What about you? What do you have to rely on?

Before you do anything, you have to understand clearly first. Use your brain.

You really need to fix your brain. Eat some walnuts.

Everyone went to eat lunch yet you won't. You're not a team player.

Yu Yi, Yu Zhi, forgive me for being frank.

For several decades now, all Rui Hua makes are gold jewelry pieces.

In this area, you are regarded as among the elite domestically.

However, in the field of jewelry with embedded designs, Rui Hua has all along been just barely satisfactory.

Compared to other companies, the difference is still very significant.

What Teacher Wu said is correct. In the past, Rui Hua was indeed like that.

So, both of us have decided to keep up with the trends of the time and vigorously expand the area of embedded jewelry.

Therefore, we will show even greater sincerity than others in the industry in seeking your collaboration.

And the scope for collaboration will also be more expansive.

We've also discovered that in the last five years, all your creations used the best quality red rubies from Southeast Asia.

To express our sincerity, we have already signed a partnership agreement with Astor Mine in Southeast Asia.

Please take a look.

You really did manage to sign the contract.

But I heard that Mu Ziyun of your company has control over all the product series.

It is also because Mu Ziyun does not prioritize embedded jewelry products, so it has never been successful.

How can you guarantee that after we decide to collaborate with you, Rui Hua will make an all-out effort to support Cilian?

Teacher Wu, this is a copy of our detailed plan.

We guarantee that we will provide Cilian with the best resources in the market, as well as sales and supply chains.

You may take this back and go over it slowly. I think this is not the most important matter.

Hui Hui is going to take part in the Annual Ingenuity Jewellery Designer Contest very soon. I think this is a more important matter.

Senior, you talk as if I'm going to take the college entrance exam.

I've already heard from my brother that in school, you won second prize in the U.S. Best Design Newcomer Contest,

as well as the New Trend Award for jewelry.

This is the first competition after your return to China. The two of us have already worked out a plan.

We hope to be able to provide our assistance for your path to winning the championship.

I need to leverage with your assistance? Do you mean that based on my true ability, I am unable to win the championship?

You already mentioned it as leveraging. Since both of you just returned to China,

you are still rather unfamiliar with the domestic market and the circumstances surrounding this competition.

We both hope to provide you with some minor contributions.

Come, Teacher Wu, Hui Hui.

Let's wish for our happy collaboration.

Si Cheng, do you think my design really wasn't good enough?

Gao Jie, focus on eating when it's time to eat.

When it's time to work, focus on working. Don't mix the two together.

Your tone is exactly the same as my grandfather's.

Really? Am I that old-fashioned?

That is maturity and warmth.

Good thing you know how to talk.

Oh, right. When you were in Southeast Asia, did anyone try to take advantage of you?

Do you already know?

At that time, Zhou Di did not manage to get what he wanted.

It just so happened that someone was there to help me out of my difficulty.

I didn't tell you about it because I thought it was better for the HR Department to deal with it.

Do you fault me for that?

You're really brave. I know you did that because you didn't want to get me involved. Why would I be critical of you?

I only hope that in the future, if Zhou Di shows any more inappropriate behaviors,

you will continue to let me know.

Oh, right. There is a Hai Feng Bookstore ahead. It is holding a lecture on enameling in a bit.

The speaker invited is quite famous. If you are interested, you can go and attend.

Okay.

Yu Zhi, last time I only promised to eat a meal with you.

I didn't promise to bring my mom with me.

So... this meal doesn't count as the one you promised. You still owe me one.

You brought your mother yourself.

Okay, what's all this fuss about treating for a meal?

It's really meaningless. Why don't I help you to get the trophy in the competition directly, instead?

A jewelry design competition is not like playing pool. It won't be so easy!

I dared to say that because you already have that ability.

So, please don't foresake the trust my brother and I have in you.

Didn't I lose to you the last time we played pool? I was in a bad mood for a long time.

Why the bad mood? You choose something next time. I will let you win.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Yu. The Miss J you're looking for has come to the store.

All right. I got it. Thank you.

Are you busy?

Think well about what you want to win from me.

Teacher Wu, I still have some matters to take care of. I'll leave first.

[Zhangle Alley]

There have been such big changes in these past years. I almost couldn't recognize it.

You ungrateful bastard!

You're right, I am a bastard! But you should know

if I lose this opportunity, I won't get another chance to make it big. I must prove myself.

I don't want my talent to be forever buried away.

Draw a butterfly.

It looks so ugly!

My drawing is pretty. Look!

The drawing is ugly! It's uglier than mine!

I drew it better than you. Have a look for yourself. I drew it better than you.

Ah, my notebook!

Don't kick my notebook!

Don't kick my notebook!

Isn't that Pan Yue?

My notebook!

Don't kick my notebook!

- Little kid! - Dummy!

Didn't the adults ever teach you not to bully others?

Pan Yue? Pan Yue?

Don't you remember who I am? I'm Gao Hai.

He made my butterfly all dirty.

Did you draw this?

What happened? How did you become like this?

Give me my butterfly.

It's so dirty.

Pan Yue, how did you become like this?

[Miss J. Please find me.] [James].

[History through centuries of changes ] [A lecture on the appreciation of enamel in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.]

Actually, enamel craft in China

came into existence very early. But it only remained in a primitive state.

Under the influence of foreign craftsmanship,

between the 13th Century and the early years of the 17th Century, the enamel craft began to develop slowly,

especially in the middle of the 15th Century...

As the craft continued to evolve...

...this could be its most exuberant period...

...the most critical change took place at...

...it relied primarily on...

Hello, may I ask where Miss J. is.

She's over there. Table 3.

...as it continued its growth...

...during this transition period, the patterns created were...

...For the typical patterns, the most adopted materials were...

Hey! Why did you take my phone?

Is it fun to play jokes on someone?

What did we do?

Do you realize what you are doing is invading the privacy of an individual's identity?

It can't be that serious, hon? We just thought you were handsome

and wanted to take a few photos.

And then post it in your social circles, right?

Since you've found us out. Bummer!

We made a bet to see if that poster was really a poster for a missing person

or some kind of gimmick used by the bookshop. I didn't know that

people still used posters to find someone nowadays.

Such an old fashioned method. Hon, do you think you are making a movie?

So you won then?

Yes, I won.

Thank you. Thank you for believing that I'm actually looking for someone,

then I'll just sue her alone.

Are you really going to sue me?

I was just joking with you.

Is it really funny?

I'm looking for someone who's really important to me.

Sorry! Sorry!

Grandpa, I'm home!

You're back, Xiao Jie.

Where's Mom?

She went to sleep.

What are you doing?

Be careful not to cut your hand.

It's fine.

Earlier today, your mom accidentally broke a flower pot.

She felt terrible and couldn't even sleep.

To convince her to sleep, I said

I would use the broken porcelain pieces to make a piece of jewelry.

Only then did she go to sleep.

But she said that tomorrow morning, she must see the jewelry I made with the broken porcelain.

Can pieces of porcelain make jewelry?

Jade, nacre pearls, gemstones, diamonds,

all can be made into jewelry. Why not porcelain pieces?

Grandpa, you are right. Any material as long as it's beautiful has value.

The luster and color of ceramics bring a certain kind of beauty.

Furthermore, the measurements can be adjusted according to the design.

It is indeed a good material for making jewelry.

That's right.

Today,

I learned another lesson.

Then pay the tuition.

By the way, Grandpa, in regards to jewelry, what's the most important thing?

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Recently, with my designs, I ran into some problems.

I feel that my designs are cold, without emotion.

Just with the knowledge from books

and some basic skills, you can only be regarded as a craftsman.

If you want to be a true designer,

you must have a spiritual aura, too.

But how do you make jewelry with more spiritual aura?

I don't understand your professional design, but

from viewpoint of crafting jewelry, my teacher once told me,

no matter what you make, you must use your feelings.

No matter the material, the crafting technique,

or the design scheme you use,

when you make it, you must wholeheartedly

project your feelings into your work.

The piece you make with the heart will contain your feelings.

Then it comes alive and has a spiritual aura.

Yes... jewelry with feelings is alive.

That's right.

Copying other people's work won't have any feelings.

Things with feelings can't be copied either.

Xiao Jie, every piece of jewelry has its own story.

The story contained within can't be stolen.

I understand now, Grandpa. Thank you!

Double espresso.

Are you drinking such a strong coffee at night?

It's not as if you don't know me. The stronger it is, the more I like it.

It has nothing to do with the hour.

Tell me. Meeting with me at this hour...

What do you want to find out?

I don't talk about work after hours.

Don't fake being professional. Since when did we talk about personal stuff between us?

It seems that your mom still isn't really satisfied with us.

My mom likes to achieve through steady progress.

She went to Jin Furong this morning. And she already went to Fancy a few days ago.

There are still seven or eight companies waiting for her to review them.

Let's wait until she finishes her reviews.

Hui Hui, between the two of us,

there is no need for the typical games done in business negotiations.

You've already studied Rui Hua.

Mu Ziyun has indeed procured the control of the majority of Rui Hua.

This is also a point of hesitation for me.

But the future chairman of Rui Hua,

it will and can only, be me.

Yu Zhi and Mu Ziyun have personal grudges.

In order to take down Mu Ziyun,

he will definitely take my side.

And about the entire jewelry industry,

I have a greater vision.

Rui Hua is the first step

of my vision to reform the industry.

You should know my ambitions from when I was in school,

so you should trust my sincerity.

You have already seen the plan and projects at Rui Hua.

I believe no other company in the industry

can offer better terms.

Okay, don't worry. I will give you a satisfactory answer.

Okay. I'll remember your words.

By the way, as for your cousin Yu Zhi,

what is his position at Rui Hua?

Yu Zhi has not formally entered Rui Hua,

but he negotiated the contract with Astor.

He's two years younger than me.

He's studied abroad since he was ten. He likes outdoor activities.

He invested in a rock climbing facility here in China.

The most important thing is...

he's single. What do you think? That's detailed enough, right?

Still missing the address of the rock climbing facility.

All right. I'll send it to you on WeChat.

Mom.

Why did you come back so late?

I had a cup of coffee with Yu Yi.

It seems you already set your eyes on Rui Hua.

We've visited so many companies.

Is there any other one that you thought was more suitable?

Mom, I think what Yu Yi and Yu Zhi said is pretty reasonable.

Their inadequacies are also their advantages.

For example, about the company, we visited today, Jin Furong,

it has eight jewelry brands.

And at Fancy, which we visited a couple of days ago,

I heard they have someone who graduated from Saint Martin's in London.

The name of the chief designer who was the top winner of the Jewelry Design Prize before,

isn't it Si Cheng or something like that?

I think that if we collaborate with them,

there won't be much room for me to make a contribution.

What you said does make some sense.

However, Jin Furong and Fancy are companies that make diamond jewelry after all.

I think you should consider it more from their professional expertise.

Mom, I have a different viewpoint from you on this.

If I make something, it must be exclusive and unique.

I will never swim with the other little fish in the pond.

Particularly, for companies like Rui Hua,

that had their glory days but have been in decline for a while.

If my designs could revitalize its business,

I feel this would make it a very enticing challenge.

Mom, I think the one who has to reconsider is you.

Okay, I'll consider it.

Dad, why did you come back so late today?

You're back.

I had dinner with Old Li of the Association. We were so into the conversation, I came a bit late.

Didn't you say you were going to meet with Director Wang at the Arts Academy?

How did you end up eating with the association?

Oh, something came up for Director Wang.

He said he would meet me another day.

Ah Hai,

you haven't looked well in the past couple of days.

Is it because you just returned from abroad and haven't gotten over the jet lag?

Is that so? I'll get better after a few days.

I'm going to stay in the art studio for a bit.

Dad, it's so rare for us to relax together after coming back to China.

Don't you want to spend more time with us?

I have an important painting that hasn't been finished.

When I'm done, I'll definitely spend time with you.

I got it. Then hurry and go, I won't bother you.

Mom, it'll be your wedding anniversary in two days.

Dad must be painting a family portrait, just like before.

Gao Hai! Gao Hai, don't leave!

Gao Hai, don't leave! Don't leave!

Our daughter is only two! She can't be without a father.

I left you all of my savings.

I'll send you money every year from now on. Don't worry.

Your life will be taken care of.

But we don't want money. We just want you to stay.

As long as you stay!

I've waited for this opportunity for too long!

Can't you understand me?

But for this opportunity,

you're willing to be heartless

and divorce me?

You're also a designer. You should understand what it means

for an oil painter like me to study in the U.S.

But you can't be this irresponsible!

Did you forget what you said when we got married?

You said you would never leave me!

Now, our daughter is two years old. You can't leave us behind!

Just pretend that I never said those things.

Ah Hai!

Gao Hai. You bastard!

He's drawing a butterfly? It's been this many years.

Could it be that you still can't let her go?
