Among all the people I know, Chen Kaiyi is the most determined, most talented, most proactive and most outstanding media professional. She is an unrepeatable and exceptional representative of the paper media era. She is also a hard-to-get peak in the field of fashion media. So I hope to take this opportunity
To call on more people to support Chen Kaiyi. Why turned it off? So annoying. Well. Did Xiang Tingfeng really admit defeat by doing this, or did he want to overflatter you? Ms. Xiao, you know him better than we do. What do you think he’s doing right now?
I don’t believe every word he just said. Things are tough for Blossom right now. My friends in Hong Kong have told me that the personnel changes there are also drastic. It seems likely that head office will shut Blossom down. So Xiang Tingfeng is playing empty-city stratagem? Is it appropriate?
All his tricks have been exhausted. He’s now utterly isolated. He can only rely on touting Kaiyi to show that he is not alone. What a pity, who else in this industry would trust him? Those outside the industry might believe him. What do you mean? His goal has never changed,
Which is to sell Blossom brand and make a fortune from it. Now he’s just raising the price in a different way. He’s incredible. He touted you first, made you a heroine, and pretended to be in misery to attract more and more people to participate in crowdfunding. The more money we crowdfund,
The more valuable Blossom appears to be. It is a pity for Xiang Tingfeng to be the publisher. He should be a sales or PR. Enough. I don’t think we should think about him now. In the current situation, we have to plan for the worst.
If the head office is really going to shut down Blossom, what should we do with our crowdfunding? We raised money to buy Blossom. If Blossom was gone, what we will acquire would gone. So what are we going to do with the money?
So we have to discuss the details of the acquisition with the French before it. We also have to act before Xiang Tingfeng sells Blossom. But now it looks like he’s more anxious than us. I hope Chen Kaiyi can come back to Blossom and fight alongside me. After all, the past is over.
And every moment of the future is new. [Resignation letter: Yan Kai] Yan. We just drank and chatted. And you treat me like that? What did I do to you? Today is my first day as acting editor-in-chief, and you resign. It’s a head-on blow. Man. I resigned not because of you.
The entire content department has come to a standstill. Please resign until I recruit some people who can be used. Why are we hurting each other? Forget it. We are not in the same camp. Let him go. Mr. Xiang. If he leaves, Blossom will be over.
It is impossible for a magazine to be full of advertisements. And we can’t suspend publication anymore. If we do this, all brands and advertisers will “kill” me. Hire someone. But all people in HR department have left. Yan Kai is well known in this industry. His departure is like telling the entire industry
That “Blossom” is over. So what? Can you keep him? I’ve already said what I have to say. From the day George died, Blossom was destined to be what it is today. Xiang Tingfeng. You are fully responsible. I know you’ve been trying to get revenge on me. I don’t care.
I did think so before, and did so. But then I realized that revenge on you is actually not that important. Compared with George and Chen Kaiyi, you are nothing at all. But it’s important to keep you out of the industry. It’s not to get revenge on you.
It’s because you really don’t deserve it. Some of what you said really helped me while we were drinking. There are many ways to succeed. But you are with him. Even if you succeed, you would make it in the most disgraceful way. Even if everyone only focused on results,
You would be tortured in the process. Lu. If you really want to do something, I advise you to stay away from him. Even if you resigned, why did you say so many negative words? Would you stay if I’d like to focus on Blossom now? Won’t you close the door? So bad-mannered. Mr. Xiang.
Do we really have no other way? Aren’t you willing to? I am. Don’t you believe me? I especially believe in you. Then what’s the problem? I thought about it all night last night. What if…just in case… What if Anthony cheated on us? Are you afraid? Yes. I’m really a little scared.
You used Chen Kaiyi’s crowdfunding to make her more tragic, make the crowdfunding valuable, and make the purchase price of Blossom brand higher. I admire that. But you plan to open an empty culture company without the knowledge of the French, and then draw up a French delegating contract to sell “Blossom”.
Even if Anthony said he would only charge 15%, what if he breaks his old friendship? He won’t. I have known him for many years. I am familiar with him. I’m not. So just trust me. But you asked me to register an empty culture company and act as legal representative. Legal representative.
I know it. If something happens to the company, I will be in big trouble. So in the final analysis, you still don’t believe me. Let’s do this. You will be the legal representative. The two of us can work together. I’m timid. Don’t put all the responsibilities on me, okay?
If I have to shoulder the responsibility, why could you earn this money? Mr. Xiang. I am your partner, not your weapon. I am not George. I won’t give anyone any chance to force me to the rooftop. Since we are partners, you should believe me.
And we agreed that each of us would get half of the benefits. Deducting the 15% given to Anthony, the two of us will share at least 10 million or more each. You are not even willing to take risks, what qualifications do you have to make money? Mr. Xiang. You may have misunderstood me.
I may seem greedy for money, but there is one thing more important to me than money, my life. You have disillusioned George’s idealism. You are trying to turn Chen Kaiyi’s heroism into a totem to cash out. But you can never take advantage of an egoist like me.
Because you can never offer a price higher than my life. Then I can only express regret. Because you missed an opportunity to make a great fortune that didn’t belong to you but may now belong to you. It seems to me that two things affect your thinking. One,
You still think you could make Blossom better. From your conversation with Yan Kai, I can tell that you are still trying to save an irretrievable magazine. You take the editor-in-chief’s name as more important than money. Two. Don’t talk about egoism. Never be like a cultural worker. It’s not you. You are cowardly.
You are so cowardly that the whole company looks down on you. No one welcomes you as editor-in-chief. No one responds to every single command of you. In everyone’s eyes, you are a cowardly, self-abased clown who wears a hat every day. When it comes to hats, they are just a tool you use
To cover up your cowardice and self-abasement. You know what? You will never succeed. Because you are not respected by anyone. Provocation? I really didn’t expect you to end up doing this. I finally understand why the two of us are so at odds. The reason why I can never believe you
From the bottom of my heart is that you really have no feelings for this magazine, not at all. You said the hat is a prop to cover up cowardice and inferiority? Then I’ll give it to you. You are welcome. You deserve it. Because you are the real clown of this company.
Why not go upstairs? Xiang Tingfeng has set off. We have to hurry up. What happened? So mysterious. Let’s talk about the details in the car. Mr. Xiang Tingfeng? Hello. Please take a seat. Mr. Wan of Hongcheng Fund is my uncle. It was through him that I contacted you about the acquisition of Blossom.
Yes. I don’t know what kind of tea you like. So I made a pot of white tea. Take a try. I didn’t expect someone as young as you to like tea. Because my friend, Mr. Gu Mingshan, has a deep understanding in tea. He always told me that white tea is refreshing.
It makes you in peace, calm down, and have more wisdom. It is suitable to drink white tea when talking about business. Excuse me, what’s your name? Liu Ziqi. My father is Liu Jun of Hengfu Real Estate. I’m very pleased to meet you. Sorry to keep you waiting for a week. Not at all.
It’s okay to wait for you for a month. After a month, Blossom will be gone. What can we talk about? Well. Nice tea. White tea is refreshing. Mr. Xiang, since you like it, you must be cold. Presumably the people from Hongcheng Fund have already explained the current situation to you.
The situation with acquisition of Blossom is changing rapidly. I have also met some friends who are interested in acquisition in the past week. We had a pleasant talk. After all, Blossom is an international magazine. Then why are you waiting to meet me? Maybe because I’m not cold enough. I value friendship.
You also know the person who proposed this sale plan at first, Mr. Gu. Because I value this friendship, I kept this opportunity to the end. Of course. It’s different now than it was then. But there’s not much difference in essence. On the contrary, Blossom may be completely abandoned by the French head office.
So now is a perfect time to grab a bargain. Really? In fact, the previous acquisition of Blossom was particularly simple. But somehow, it was messed up by you and Chen Kiaiyi. Later, the entire government regulators began to pay attention to this, and all interested capital withdrew. To be honest, Blossom is boring now
But it’s a pity to give it up. Then why did you still meet me? Please have tea. Now that they’ve been exposed, while we’re in the dark. I just want you to know that he manipulated us in that mood at that time. He likes to treat others as his pawns.
For such a manipulative man, the best way is to turn him into a pawn too. Mr. Xiang. I think I made all my points pretty clear. Can we reach a consensus? Since you decided to buy Blossom, why do you want me to co-finance? This is the case.
Our previous plan was to buy low and sell high. All buyers are readily available. But things are different now. Frankly speaking, I may be the last buyer you can find. You said that you value friendship. So do I. But after all, this is the first time we meet. If you don’t believe me,
I can show you all the authorization documents given to me by the French head office. Even Blossom’s license to operate is mine. That’s not necessary. I am a businesswoman, not a cultural worker. Besides, after we do business together, we are partners. Since we are partners, we have to be sincere.
My dad taught me since I was a kid that if you want to know if a businessman is sincere, you need to check if he is willing to pay for you. If he’s not willing to, it means he is not sincere. You said before that the actual value of French selling Blossom
Is now 37 million, right? I’m not going to question this number. Let’s do this. I will contribute 30 million and you will contribute 7 million. Later, when we are going to sell Blossom, all profits and losses will be in accordance with this ratio, whether it is a loss or a profit. Fair enough?
Do you want to get something for nothing? It’s not what someone of your identity would do. You mean we’ve reached a consensus? I will replace the wine with tea to toast to you. For our new collaboration. Cheers. I am leaving. Let’s keep in touch at any time for specific matters.
Let’s keep in touch. My fiancée Liu Ziqi. This is Ms. Chen Kaiyi you’ve always wanted to meet. Just sit there. I will come to you. Hello, Ms. Chen. Nice to meet you. I will go to Paris as soon as possible. Under the current situation, this is probably the best solution.
If the acquisition of Blossom doesn’t go well this time, I won’t come back. Kaiyi. Didn’t we make it very clear? It is because you’ve made it so clear that I have to do it. Xiang Tingfeng has entered the game. As long as we have more patience, he will definitely get hooked. And then?
Let him discredit and keep off the industry. And then? Push him to a corner, wait for him to step up to the rooftop, and then watch him jump? Is this the last picture you want to see? Could it be the real revenge for George? It’s all his own choice. He’s driven desperate.
He even wanted you to die. Only when you die will Blossom’s crowdfunding be more tragic and its value can be maximized. All we can do is to beat him at his own game. After he transfers seven million to the account, we will make the fact that he cheated public. But
I didn’t ask him to do so, he has only himself to blame. Anything wrong? The world is not just about right or wrong. Kaiyi. I understand that the two of you had a deep friendship before. Having said that, even if he loses both men and money or goes to jail,
He will not die. And he deserves it all. As an old saying goes, if you return good for evil, who would repay you? So I’m going to Paris as soon as possible to deal with the acquisition. To save him? No. To save all of us. Anything to drink? No, I am fine.
I didn’t expect you to come to me. I thought I would never see you again. Why do you want to meet me here? We met for the first time in a coffee shop. Do you remember? I’d like to choose there. But that coffee shop is gone. So… why did you come to me?
Is it because something goes wrong with Chen Kaiyi’s crowdfunding? Everything goes well. She would take the early morning flight to Paris. To Paris? Did she raise enough money? No way. I just checked their crowdfunding process. It’s just over six million. Let’s not talk about her. Let’s focus on you. Me? I’m fine.
Stop it. Before the worst happens. Tingfeng. Tingfeng. Are you okay? I’m okay. Lu Binbin. Good for him. Hard to deal with gentlemen. Easy to take advantage of villains. You said that. Is it that easy for you now? Chen Kaiyi asked you to come to me? Sort of. She told me everything
For me to persuade you. Why did she do this? Can you tell me one thing honestly? Did you really want Chen Kaiyi die? Yes. I did think so. I can tell you everything honestly. I did think that if she died, she would be a real hero. If she died now,
She would really be a totem. The value of Blossom would be beyond our imagination. Besides, everyone dies. But she’s not like George. Nothing seemed to able to give her a blow. So I have no way to let her die herself. Why did you choose to live such a life?
Why do you entrust your life on the death of another person? It’s a person’s life. I think it’s because of the despicable nature of human beings. I admit that is an extremely despicable part of human nature. But I can’t answer why I am living my life like this. How did I become
So despicable step by step? I… I can’t answer that. Maybe with the decline of paper media, as the situation spirals out of control, and with less and less of what I can grab, I have less and less options. So… When you asked me why, I… I really want to answer you. But I…
In fact, I already told it. After all, Liu Ziqi is not as senior as Gu Mingshan. When she proposed that she would contribute 30 million and I would contribute 7 million jointly with her, I realized that this was a trap. I can obviously take the money and leave. Why should I do this?
I told it long ago. But I am tired. I am just tired. If I had another chance to choose… Well. In fact you gave me a chance once to choose. You asked me at the airport if I would go back to Hong Kong with you, but I refused.
Because I thought I could still do something and give you something. I thought I could give you what you want. It was my fault. Sorry. I was so ridiculously wrong. I can’t answer you why I’m so despicable now. I don’t even think I deserve to be with you.
Thank you for being willing to see me. Thanks for telling me all this. Thank you for loving me before. I hope you and Chen Kaiyi can make Blossom better and better. I know you will. Because you deserve that future. And there shouldn’t be me in that future. So… Take care.
I understood everything you say. Take care, too. Why did you help me? What I did has nothing to do with you. How did we get to where we are now? Did you find that we are actually the same kind of person? We are not. We come from the same place,
Have the same imprint of the era, and once had the same beliefs, or say, faith. It’s just later… I realized the reality. But you… You continued to deceive yourself. You are still deceiving yourself that the times haven’t changed, that you can change reality. The times haven’t changed. I remember
The first time I saw you, you were with a ponytail. Your eyes were full of curiosity about everything. It doesn’t make any sense now. I’m leaving Blossom and this industry, and I’ll have nothing to do with this magazine. Good. I’ve always wanted to live in a house with a big yard.
When the weather is nice, I can mow the lawn or go fishing. Sounds good. What about you? What do you want to do? To do everything possible to keep Blossom in business. Do you think George will forgive me? What do you think? I think… [Three months later] – Look here. – Look here.
Look here. [Reboot Blossom Reshape the future] Look here. Look here. Left side. Right side. Not Afraid of Fat. So good! Okay, eyes ahead. Is that okay? Do you have any questions for us? As I expected. You competed with Chen Kaiyi for the editor-in-chief. Did she… You set up Hongding Fund.
Does this mean that a new media age is coming? – Please answer us. – Please answer us. Mary. Tonight is the future of Blossom. You are our future. Future is coming! – Come on! – Come on! Let’s welcome the publisher and editor-in-chief
Of the new Blossom, Ms. Chen Kaiyi, with a big round of applause. [The end] Why do you think you’re suitable to be a feature editor? ♪Fantastic romance, no way back♪ Please give me more time. I want to tell you a story. It’s a long story. ♪What attracted you? Why bother?♪
