【ENG SUB】《The Secret of Love 不能恋爱的秘密》EP1 【MangoTV Drama】
Tell me, is there really the possibility that two people look exactly the same? Lee Group, Ocean City’s most famous cosmetics company, has seen steady performance improvement every day in the past year. Its domestic market share has progressively increased over the years, and its growth overseas is even more rapid.
The chairman of Lee Group, Li Yaohui, built the business from the ground up and has been managing it for the past 50 years. The latest rumors indicate that the almost-70-year-old Li hopes soon to hand over the reins and take on more of an advisory role.
Opinions vary widely as to whom will be his successor. However, the majority believe Li Yaohui’s sole grandson, the newly-appointed Director Li Jiashang, will assume the role. Li Jiashang, 27 years old, completed a postgraduate program at Columbia University
And took on the role of CEO upon returning from abroad. He spearheaded preparations for the Lee Group’s annual cosmetics show, which was organized in collaboration with the fashion magazine Fame Show, their long-time partner. Since Li Jiashang became the CEO, his style of work has been harsh and merciless,
And he has laid off a large number of employees and brought in new ones. Lee Group’s profits have since resumed their growth. Oh no, it’s his “demon smile” again. CEO Li, are there any changes that you think need to be made to our proposal? [Li Jiashang]
[Lee Group & Fame Show Magazine Publisher Contract Termination] Contract termination? CEO Li, this… Sign it, Director Sun. CEO Li, even if you’ve found a new team to collaborate with, give Fame Show a chance to compare our proposal to theirs on account of all our hard work.
Another team, another option. There’s nothing bad about that. It will also allow us to see our opponent’s capabilities so that we can accept our loss. That’s right, CEO Li. One week. I’ll give everyone one week’s time. But I have a condition.
If Fame Show loses, not only will we terminate our collaboration on the cosmetics show, the Lee Group will also end all our planning collaborations. A new CEO makes some drastic changes. Your glare really scared those girls back there. Yes, that glare. Why bother giving them the opportunity to compete? Isn’t that unnecessary?
Isn’t it better for Fame Show to lose in a fair and square competition? What’s wrong? Nothing. [Editor in Chief – Amanda] Su Yi, have you completed all the on-boarding procedures? It’s hard being the director. Because of the cosmetics show, two people have already been switched about.
Perfect, “Bad things don’t happen more than three times.” Chief Editor Sun has already told me that the cosmetics show is of the utmost importance to Fame Show this time around. We have to win it, even if it means using some unconventional methods. Just wait and see. Fine.
I’ll take care of the issue with Vice President Zhang. How long are you going to stay angry? You also miss her, right? If only you were still here. [Simple love of knowing and doing. Life Hall] Same as always. The noodles have been prepared for you. Thank you.
Li Jiashang, I want to be your girlfriend! Get together. Kiss, kiss, kiss! [Simple love of knowing and doing. Life Hall] My dear Jiashang, not sleeping at 4:00 in the morning is your habit. That’s not a regular thing for us ordinary people. Ever since I was recruited by you,
My baby has been looking after an empty house by herself. You tell me. Are there two people who look identical? Of course, there are. There are many identical twins out there, but the probabilities that they’re both good looking is fairly low. Are you missing her again? I think I saw her today.
But she is already dead. She’s not here. You need to let go of her. But they look too similar. Tell me then, how similar was she? Excuse me! Jiashang I heard that Fame Show’s proposal is better than the draft. That draft is good! Competition drives up product quality.
I already reported this to Chairman Li. Chairman Li was very satisfied. – Also, he wants to take charge personally. – Director Zhang, what you’re saying is very reasonable. Regarding my grandfather’s affairs, I will do my best. After all, my grandfather created the Lee Group.
If I don’t take troubles for him, who has the right to? That’s good. Really good. In relation to our intention to take out Fame Show, those old foxes must have noticed it long ago. They even mentioned your grandfather now. After all, he collaborated with Fame Show for many years.
He must have got a lot of benefits from them. It’s about time to settle accounts with him. Then… how do we settle accounts with him? We have time. I will repay you slowly. Shang, you really need to date someone. Sanbao, please concern yourself with your own matters. Okay.
At 2 pm, the whole Sales Department will report. At 4 pm, the presentation of the Research and Development of new products will probably last for two hours. But… at 6 pm… Tell me. Fame Show still wants to understand the orientation of the cosmetics show. All right, I’ll find a way to explain.
Tell me, in this world are there really identical people? I think I saw her today. Do you also like Klimt? [Gustav Klimt, Austrian painter] Most of the figures in his art are women. I prefer his 1895 painting called “Love.” Is that the painting that’s in an art museum in Vienna?
But compared to “Love” I prefer “Kiss” Do you have a cat as well? I have an British Short, what about you? My friend is here to pick me up. Goodbye. [Wandering Ends When Lovers Meet Again] Sir, the painting you’re looking at is mine. If you have any ideas, you can tell me.
It’s you. Why are you here? You forgot your book. Thanks. Gao Dingli. Li Jiashang. Miss Gao, have we met somewhere? Mr. Li, you really need to improve the way you flirt. Miss Gao, what were you trying to express with this painting? You saw it, right? I saw… Hope. Really?
But why do I see… danger and desire? I’m joking! Then, Mr. Li, enjoy perusing paintings. I’m busy so I’ll get going. Miss Gao. Are you free later today? I’m sorry. I’m pretty busy this afternoon. This is my phone number. If you want to buy my work, feel free to contact me anytime.
I can wait for you. [Gao Dingli] Hello. The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please redial later. – How did it go? – Apart from name and occupation, I couldn’t find any other information. But this name, Gao Dingli, feels a little familiar.
– What about the exhibition? – The exhibition is still ongoing, but I couldn’t see the painting you mentioned. This hasn’t been handled well at all. The next time you come in, can you please put your phone on silent? [Li Jiashang] Hello.
– What are you doing? – You called me and you’re asking me. Wait. This isn’t right. This is my girlfriend’s number. I saw that she’s usually busy with work and set her phone to call-forwarding. The person you’re looking for is my girlfriend. He He, He He, He He, He He!
You You! Come sit down. Quick. I missed you so much! For a change, occasionally. Why are you ignoring me? I wouldn’t dare! Let me ask you something. That phone number. Don’t I have two numbers? I lent it to my friend a short while ago since she came back from abroad.
You’ve mentioned her to me before, right? Yes, He He. The last time we had afternoon tea, she even took a photo with me. Do you want to see? – Yes please. – Okay. She just came back from Japan. I also don’t know how to get in contact with her. And this is delicious.
I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to wait for the rabbit. [T/N: waiting for someone to return to you because they came once before] By the way, I heard Fame Show’s entire workforce is gearing up for battle. Is it too mean for us to do this?
Although this is a bad idea, we need to use Fame Show to get rid of Zhang Mingda and resolve the issues this time. Moreover… Where are you going? I meet you again. “Empty numbers” are not fun. I just wanted to stay in China for two more days, so I changed my number
And gave Xiaoyou’s number back to her. I really didn’t mean to ask for you, Mr. Li. But I really didn’t think I’d see you again. There are too many people in the exhibition hall asking about paintings. I thought you were just taking the opportunity to talk to me.
I didn’t expect that you really wanted to buy my paintings. My painting is not easy to sell. Look, it’s just been returned to me by the exhibition hall again. Sorry for causing such a big mess. This apology is not sincere. Let me take you out for a meal… one meal, one painting.
The painting was delivered directly to your home. How are you feeling? Thank you. Do you want some? I can’t. I’m allergic to alcohol. Here you go, a deposit for the painting. It’s too expensive. I can’t accept it. Your paintings are much more expensive. Thanks then. Excuse me.
Just put the delivered packages in the parcel room please. Joy Division… Impressive, you knew just from the introduction? They’re my favorite post-punk band. Mine too! But a lot of people told me, they’re out of date. “Classic” is never out of date.
I haven’t gotten in the way of any of your plans tonight, have I? No. I was just planning to watch a film with my best friend. Moreover, I’ve already seen that film ten times. Ten times. Which film? Pedro Almodovar’s “Talk to Her.” But you’re probably not interested in those kinds of love stories.
At some emotional things, I cry because I can’t share them with her. The most devastating thing is leaving who you love most. The saddest thing in the world is when love ends. Miss Gao, do you really not think I look familiar? You look a lot like
The man I saw a few days ago that had instant noodles with whiskey. Baby, happy birthday! Let’s take a picture together. Here, I’ll light you a candle. Fine. Thank you, thank you. Mu Xiao! Mu Xiao! – Jiashang! – Mu Xiao! Jiashang, help me! Jiashang! Jiashang! Jiashang, help me! Mu Xiao! Mu Xiao! Jiashang!
Mu Xiao! So sorry for disturbing you. I’m so sorry. It’s fine. Mr. Li, are you all right? I’m fine. Then, how about you accompany me outside for some fresh air? The air is so fresh on rainy days. It just so happens to rain right now. My house is nearby.
Do you want to come to my place? Check out your painting. I’m afraid you’ll be reluctant to part with it. No thanks. I’d rather go pet a cat. I won’t pour you any alcohol since you’re allergic to it. It’s so cute. He’s called Milk. Milk. Did you come up with the name? No.
Right. Let me help you hang the painting. No need. I’m going to change my clothes first. [Downloading 48%, “Attracted with One Glance”] I’m so sorry, something urgent came up. This is my new number. 1731013910. I look forward to meeting you again. Hello, Chairman Li. Please, sit. You can start.
Can Fame Show first make a proposal? [Attracted with One Glance] This is the theme of our proposal: “Attracted with One Glance” Because our target audience is young people, – we’re blending modern trends with classical art. – Open that up again and let me have a look.
– Like this mural… – What’s going on? Their proposal has the same exact theme as ours, but the proposal is more mature. – For the cosmetics show this time, – Theirs is exactly the same as ours. we can incorporate the features of East Asian faces
To show a perfect combination between traditional Chinese and Western arts. It’ll definitely attract more young people. Okay, that’s my content for today. Thanks everyone. Okay, Jiashang, it’s your turn. We’re not ready yet. What do you mean? You don’t have even a single proposal? Chen Jin, did you make this proposal?
No. It was made by our creative director. CEO Li, good morning. I’m Fame Show’s Creative Director, Su Yi. Got you. Li Jiashang arrives at work before 8 am every day to handle the company’s matters. He then leaves at 9 pm and doesn’t engage in any recreation or hobbies.
If he has any social engagements, he needs only to go to his family’s restaurant, One Secret, and he’s always accompanied by Zheng He. But this person, at dawn, likes to… Every morning he drives his car to the convenience store so he can eat instant noodles with whiskey. He’s saved many Joy Division songs.
He’s pressed ‘like’ on one of Klimt’s paintings, “Love” Compared to “Love”, I prefer “Kiss”. Since Li Jiashang is so afraid of fire, he might as well go and open an office on a glacier at the North Pole. [Weakness: afraid of fire]
[Information about CEO Li. Arrives office before 8 am Leaves office after 9 pm Likes to hang out at convenience store. Only goes to his own restaurant (One Secret)…] Now, I just need someone to vouch for me. This is my phone number, contact me anytime.
– Actually– – Don’t worry about it sis. We’re the same kind of people. I get it. [Gao Dingli] Because of the power conflict between Lee Group’s old and new, this proposal competition is bound to be unfair.
In order to ensure Fame Show is not innocently sacrificed, even if I have to face the consequences, I won’t hesitate. Mu Xiao?
