For this round, I’ll drink a little. You shall bottom up. Come on. Cheers. Today, I’ve invited you over for dinner for no other reason. Just because I’m happy. Just because I’m overjoyed. Boss, what you did today greatly avenged our advertising department! You’re not right. Your wonderful performances helped. I mean it.
You didn’t drop the ball at the crunch time. You had backbone. Here. Let me propose a toast. Go ahead. Honestly, today, when Ms. Chen called us, I didn’t know how Jingjing felt. I was stunned. But when I saw you, I had only one thought. I had to hold on. That’s right!
We did exactly what Chen Kaiyi deserved. Boss, you indeed convinced me today. Today? You weren’t convinced before? I was. I was convinced. I always admire you. But today, I admired you greatly. From the bottom of my heart! Be specific. Be specific, I think today, headquarters were accommodating you. Why? Think about it.
Qin Min… She thought after she got Devil Chen out, we wouldn’t know what had happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as Devil Chen left, we received the email. In no time did we know what had happened. Boss, in less than a minute, what a slap in the face! She was quite disgraced. Right.
Chen Kaiyi thought she could abuse her power and domineer over us when George no longer existed. Let me tell you. At the headquarters, a great many guys hate her. What’s worse, she always claims to be a real newsperson with a dream of news. She focuses on content. But what era are we in?
What era is it now? I’m asking you. Tell me. The era of We-media. The era of fragmented information. The era of mass consumption elite. You’re right. So, Chen Kaiyi, Yan Kai and their men have been eliminated. Once Ms. Xiao comes, we’ll have a bright future. But they will get nothing at all. Boss,
Is Xiao Hongxue really that powerful? She’s a sensible woman. She’s a great money-maker. She has got loads of resources. Let me put it this way. Headquarters have high hopes for Ms. Xiao Hongxue. But… Have a drink first. But what? But when Ms. Xiao Hongxue comes to Blossom, Chen Kaiyi and Yan Kai
Will strike back to a large extent. What does she need, then? She needs a tool to turn things around and settle the general orientation. What tool? Me. You make sense, boss. To the tool! I admire you. You and I aren’t actual friends. And you know very well what kind of person I am.
I just want to know your answer. If Xiao Hongxue fights for power against Chen Kaiyi, who will you support? Honestly, Blossom can no longer withstand a second fight for power. George and Chen Kaiyi had such a big fight. But what was the point? The situation is different this time.
A fight for power and wealth usually goes the same way. When Xiao Hongxue comes, she’ll bring a full set of reform plans. If Chen Kaiyi is defeated, our magazine will be revised beyond recognition. It’s not a concern for HR Department, is it? I’ve been an HR for 15 years. I’ve witnessed many cases
Small and large. I have another identity, though. I’m a loyal reader of our magazine. So, I expect our magazine to run and run in an elegant way as it is now. Have a sit and chat. Why are you sure that Xiao Hongxue’s reform will make our magazine worse? In this industry, I assume,
No one can be a better leader for Blossom than Chen Kaiyi. Think about the old days. George fought against Chen Kaiyi and got the leadership. But in terms of the content, Chen Kaiyi had a leading role. George never interfered with that. I don’t think Xiao Hongxue and Chen Kaiyi
Will agree to share the leadership. You take care of the content. You must be aware. I have a question for you, too. Go ahead. George isn’t a greedy man. But the notice from headquarters said that something was wrong with his accounts. What on earth did he do? I heard that George
Diverted a sum of public funds. The amount was considerable. The use of the money was unknown. But I guess the headquarters don’t audit our accounts to settle George’s problem, but to have a reshuffle. They’re giving Xiao Hongxue a license to kill so that she can tame the management.
Is Chen Kaiyi clear with her accounts? Yes. But she’s afraid of being framed. Don’t you think George was framed? What does that mean? George is dead. The notice from the headquarters condemned him. I don’t believe or accept that. George is innocent. I will vindicate him. He’s a decent man. If George is innocent,
I will help you vindicate him. But why are you obsessed with his case? Let me answer your first question. If Xiao Hongxue fights against Chen Kaiyi, I will support Chen Kaiyi. I’ll stick with her, whether we win or lose. Thank you. I don’t do this for Chen Kaiyi
Or for some kind of deal we can make at this moment. Even if you don’t help me, I’ll find out the truth by myself. I support Chen Kaiyi for only one reason. I’m also a reader of our magazine. Give me five. Hope our magazine will run and run. Cai Fei. Fei. Fei.
I’m asleep. What are you doing? I just have some confusion. Think about it. There’s a tag on the coat. And Sherry reminded me many times. I shouldn’t have made such a mistake. Who wrote the tag of dry cleaning? I did. Who delivered the coat to the dry cleaner? I did. That’s it.
You can’t shift the blame. But I distinctly remember that I didn’t put a tag of dry cleaning on that coat. Fetch your notebook and pen. Here. Let’s suppose A is the tag. B is the dry cleaning. C is the delivery. A plus B equals C. You did A. You did B, too.
But you think you didn’t do the “plus”. Right? It means there’s a D between A and B. Some possibilities. Maybe you took the wrong tag. Maybe you muddled the coats. Or maybe someone made the mistake. I can’t fall asleep before 11 o’clock just because you insist on ruling out the first two possibilities.
So, it’s likely that someone else made the mistake. Who’s D, then? No matter who he is, he must be aware of the value of the coat and the consequence of the mistake. He just didn’t expect Yan Kai to defend you like that. So, in this formula, Yan Kai is the biggest variable, E.
What does a variable mean? All right. I’m going to sleep. For the rest of the problem, figure it out yourself. If you disturb me, I will kick you out of here before you leave our company. Good night. Turn off the light. D, right? A plus B is C.
Here’s a D between A and B. Xiang. Surprise. What a surprise! The car is waiting. Let’s go. It’s thoughtful of you. After all these years, you still remember my little hobby. After such a long trip, you must be exhausted. So, I prepared it for you. In Paris, I also tried
Other things to stimulate my sense of smell. I’ve tried all kinds of them, cheap or expensive. But none of them can be as good as the cheap Chinese essential balm. How marvelous! The sense of smell can be really loyal. It is more loyal than the sense of sight, the sense of taste,
Or the sense of touch. But I think all our senses are as faithful as each other, except for the language. But the order of the world is established by languages. That’s why loyalty has become so scarce. Right? Tell me what you want. You took the trouble to get my flight number
And gave me a surprise by picking me up at the airport so early in the morning. You didn’t only want to give me a ride, did you? That year, you made George the editor-in-chief but asked me to pretend to fight against him. You said the headquarters wanted
To handle the top management in this way, instead of seeing us stick together. You recruited me to Blossom. Taking your advice, I dropped out of the competition and cooperated with Georg secretly. At that time, you promised that if one day George was no longer the editor-in-chief, I would be it.
Does the promise still count? Is this position really so attractive to you? Yes. You’ve already had high prestige and a high status in this industry. Does it still matter whether you’re the editor-in-chief? Are you saying you won’t keep your promise? I had three private talks with the chief editor. Three talks.
None of them ended up well. I insist that you become the editor-in-chief. But the chief editor failed to convince the board of directors. George’s case made everything embarrassed. You know the style of our group. The directors think you and George deceived them. Deceived them? It wasn’t you who exposed George’s crime.
They naturally thought you acquiesced in all the illegal actions George took and you even colluded with him. If I failed to handle this properly, I would even lose my position as the publisher. So, they insisted on picking an editor-in-chief from another branch. Xiao Hongxue hasn’t arrived in Beijing yet. Even when she arrives,
This isn’t the end. The notice of appointment has been issued throughout the group. Xiao Hongxue is no longer the editor-in-chief for Hong Kong Blossom. Her successor has been selected, too. Even if you object now and even if the board of directors approves, what will Xiao Hongxue do? I don’t think
We should push it like a greedy man. First and last, you’re not going to keep your promise. Do you know my relationship with Xiao Hongxue? Don’t worry. I won’t make a fuss about your relationship. If I have to fight against her, I’ll do it fair and square. I know you won’t embarrass her
With our relationship. I know you very well. However, she will be transferred to your place as the editor-in-chief in plain sight Our hidden marriage is a bomb after all. We don’t know when it’ll explode. So, for her career and future, I have to do this. You burned your bridges
And gave up on me to save her. Thank you for giving me a ride. It’s a very interesting trip. About the appointment of the position, I’m not convinced. Please tell Xiao Hongxue that I’ll challenge her. Don’t you think more about it? Since you decided to break your promise, I’ve been no longer loyal.
In this case, I have to remind you. You won’t be against Xiao Hongxue alone, but the board of directors. Do you think you can win? No. So, Xiao Hongxue is my only rival. Off you go. I just arrived at the hotel. She picked me up. She said she would compete with you.
I’ll take the earliest flight to Beijing tomorrow morning. Let’s talk then. What’s the hurry? The earlier I defeat Chen Kaiyi, the less harm will be done to Blossom. Fine. I’ll be waiting for you. Kaiyi, you know it very well that once I decide to support Xiao Hongxue, I’ll go to all lengths. So,
Don’t compete with her. I owe you this. If you compete, what is the probability that I can win? I think loyalty has become scarce not because languages aren’t reliable, but because the desire has clouded the judgment. Since ancient times, in China or foreign countries, compulsive desire always leads to destruction.
What do you think? I’m doomed. Annoying CDE! Answer the phone. Cai Fei, are you…? Why didn’t you wake me up? Have you bought the coffee for the editors? Have you clocked in for me? [Analysis for the dry cleaning case] You did neither for me? What? Xiao Hongxue is arriving so early?
Why will she come so early? I’m doomed. I know. Say no more. I… I’m going to work. I’ll hang up. Bye-bye. By the way, who has gone to pick up Xiao Hongxue? Mary, I guess. According to Sherry. They’re both from Hong Kong and they can communicate easily. Mary took such a quick action
To show her loyalty… Maybe she did that to get intel for Devil Chen. Why do I feel excited without a reason? Well, we’re expecting a rising storm. Come on. Let me check today’s horoscope. Devil Chen is a Scorpio. Your biggest enemy is someone you have never expected. What do you think it means?
Don’t bother about that. You always nag about horoscopes. Let’s be serious. Has Hat Lu done anything today? Hat Lu, since he came this morning, hasn’t even sat down. He keeps walking back and forth in his office. I think when Xiao Hong arrives, he’ll kneel to welcome her. How do you think
Devil Chen is feeling now? She’ll compete or give up. What else can she do? What can she compete with? How can she? It’s industry-wide news that Xiao Hongxue is transferred to be the editor-in-chief. It’s the fact. If I were Devil Chen, I would quit my job. Famous as she is now,
She can be an editor-in-chief in any magazine. Why must she stay and be subservient? If Devil Chen quits her job, our magazine will be ruined. So what? Helen. Helen. What? What? Xiao Hongxue… She means they’re downstairs. Wait. Today, if anyone helps Xiao Hongxue instead of defending Devil Chen,
– let’s break off. – Let’s break off. Let’s go. Everybody, here’s your coffee. I’m sorry. Tissue. – Tissue. – Tissue. Kaiyi. What’s going on? Cai Fei, come and help me. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. A warm welcome to our new editor-in-chief, Ms. Xiao Hongxue! Applaud. Why don’t you just applaud? Quickly.
Ms. Xiao Hongxue has arrived. You had a long trip. Let’s welcome Ms. Xiao Hongxue. Applaud. Quickly. Be exciting. Applaud. Come on. Stand up. Stop working for the moment. Be quick. Stand up. You make me crazy. Stand up. Quickly. Be quick. Be quick. There you are. Are you tired? No.
Director Lu, I’m not tired. Fire the intern. She’s indeed a jinx. You know what? Hope she spilled the coffee accidentally. If I know she did that on purpose, I will no longer respect Yan Kai. Sounds like you respected him. No way. I still can’t let it go. I’ll go talk to Qin Min.
An intern like her must be fired immediately. What are you laughing at? When you walk back and forth in front of me, you remind me of the time when you first came to Blossom. It was your first time to take the cover photos of a star with Xiwei.
When you saw the singing queen you had been a fan of, you were too nervous to talk fluently. Then in front of her, you dropped the wristwatch you borrowed from the brand into the milk tea. She told you that the wristwatch was for wearing and the milk tea was for drinking.
You tried to get the wristwatch out hurriedly but spilled the milk tea on the table. All the photographic lights Xiwei has set short-circuited. After you came back, Xiwei complained to me for nearly two hours. It happened many years ago. That day, you walked back and forth just like you do now.
Someone also told me to fire you because you didn’t speak Mandarin fluently and you were clumsy at work. Seriously? Who? Tell me who said that. I don’t remember. I just remember what you did that day. You kept walking around like this and you made me dizzy. Say no more. What’s the point
Of teasing me? Mary, do you think I can defeat Xiao Hongxue? Truth? My point is… Don’t compete with her and just let it go. When I was in Hong Kong, I heard a lot about her. For example, she was awesome or she was tricky. But today, I picked her up at the airport.
I kind of contacted her for the first time. We talked all the way back. I think the rumors about her didn’t get to the point. I mean she has a terrifying temperament. What temperament? She is irresistible, not because she makes people afraid of her, but because she makes people like her. Like her?
Look, Ms. Xiao. This is our office area. This is our cameramen, Mr. Pan. This is Ms. Xiao. This is Luo Han, our photo editor. Hello. He’s very important. Sit down and work. This way. This is the Sales Department. Everybody of the Sales Department… Everybody… What’s wrong? Stand up. Quickly. Come on.
And the Advertising Department. The best of the best. Come on. They are very cooperative. All right. Be seated. Get to work. They’re highly efficient. And this is the Clothing Department. Here. Only one person is working. Only one. You must be Sherry. Hello, Ms. Xiao. The theme you designed where jeans and fine jewelry
Went together was bold. It looked innovative. But actually, it referred to the essential relationship between jewelry and women. Women should control the jewelry instead of being controlled by it. Mary taught us a lot. Come on. Keep working hard. Thank you, Ms. Xiao. Come on. Be seated. Director Lu, where’s the Thematic Department?
The Thematic Department… Over there. Could you take me there? Sure. Hello, Yan Kai. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. I love your design about cover stories and major themes. When I was in Hong Kong Blossom, I often told my colleagues that we should learn
From your good ideas. You did? Oh my God. You’re so “good” at talking. You just ruined the conversation. Do we have to talk and laugh like a monkey just like you? We’re close friends. So, we often joke like that. Come on. Let me take you to the clothing showroom. Wait. Director Yan,
Could you introduce your colleagues to me? Here they are. Zhao Xin, Chen Ran, Gu Huan, and Lin Ya’nan. Oh, dear! How impolite you are! Don’t you have manners? Stand up and say hello. Nice to meet you. Senior editor, Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin. Nice to meet you.
Days and Nights of the Post Talent Show Era. It was a wonderful essay. It was what I made two years ago. I’ve been interested in talent shows. In your essay, you interviewed many female singers and artists from talent shows. You used interesting questions. You showed people what those guys originally were.
I didn’t expect you to remember that so clearly. I certainly remember good essays clearly. This… This is Chen Ran. Nice to meet you. You’re so young and beautiful. Thank… Thank you. Love Book in Hong Kong. Right? Right. Right. I compiled… I made up… I wrote… I wrote it. Right. Ten classic love movies.
Destinations where ten lovers have to go. Most importantly, my favorite film Comrades Almost a Love Story was in it. I also like that movie a lot. Yeah. And they are…? I’m Lin Ya’nan. I’m Gu Huan. Gu Huan is in charge of hotels. And Lin Ya’nan is in charge of lifestyles. Right. Right.
I didn’t expect you to know about our duties too. I certainly know. Excuse me. I have to answer the phone. Okay. Hello? Yes. You have arrived? Tell the reception that you’re my friend. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye. I’ve prepared some presents for you. They have just been delivered.
It’s so nice of you, Ms. Xiao. I’ll go get them. I’ll go. I was looking for you. Why are you here? Just because of the intern. Qin Min, fire her immediately. She’s talking nonsense. What do you want us for? They are having the annual party already. What does that mean?
Xiao Hongxue is impressive. What did she do again? Since she came, she’s been using a psychological trick. She visited all departments. Among so many employees, she managed to recognize half of them. Especially the girls of the Thematic Department… She kept praising them greatly. I’m afraid the girls are overwhelmed.
They may even call her Goddess now. She has prepared so much? What’s more, Ligui Hotel has delivered a lot of desserts. I heard the boss of the hotel knew it was her first day to work, asked the chef to make the desserts, and had them delivered to us. Ligui Hotel? Right.
But it never does the food delivery. And even if we want to have a meal there, we have to make a reservation three days earlier. All rivals can be strong. She’s working herself into winning support. Honey, have you made up your mind? It’s hard to deal with her. What am I afraid of?
I have you two, don’t I? Go. Let’s go and see how great their new goddess can be. Go with her. Listen, everybody. Ms. Xiao ordered the desserts from the hotel for you. Enjoy yourselves. Shall we say thank you to Ms. Xiao? Come on. Thank you, Ms. Xiao. Thank you, Ms. Xiao.
Don’t worry, Ms. Xiao. We will work hard, right? – Right. – Right. Come on, Ms. Xiao. Let me introduce her to you. Director Deng of the PR Department. She’s a nice guy. We met just now. You did? Nice to meet you. She can hold her liquor. Is that so?
Say something useful, will you? Boss. She’s with my department. My department. She’s young and promising. Thank you, Ms. Xiao. You’re welcome. You’re very young. Thank you. I’ll leave you alone. Kaiyi. Hongxue. Come on. I’ve kept the most delicious and the prettiest one for you. I’m so grateful. But I won’t have it.
Ask the others to enjoy it. It’s the working time, after all. Am I disturbing them? I don’t mean that. You’re not. Ms. Xiao, it’s so attentive of you. I mean it. You worry too much. Director Lu is right. You aren’t disturbing them. It’s just that our management has been lax. It’s my problem.
Sorry for that. Don’t just stand there. Go on to eat it. Go on. Go on. Come on, guys, it’s almost time. Have you submitted your articles? Be quick. What do you think you are doing? You don’t eat it? Even so, shouldn’t you at least say thank you? It’s so rude of you. Lu,
I have something to tell you. I don’t have time for that. Are you sure? Ms. Xiao, may I go? Of course. Is it okay if you stay here alone? Yes. I’ll be right back. Kaiyi, I’ll leave for a minute. Well, how about going to my office? We didn’t know you would arrive today.
Your office isn’t ready yet. How about going to my office? Okay. I also want to see what the office of a fashion devil will look like. Come on. It’s just a simple office. Nothing special. It’s far worse than your luxurious offices in Hong Kong. How’s that possible? Look at this place.
It’s indeed luxurious. Offices in Hong Kong are very small. Did you have such a perfect figure because of those small offices? You have a perfect figure, actually. Look. Your skin is smooth. What skincare do you do? I don’t do any skincare. Maybe because I’m born to be beautiful. I should learn from you.
You have such a good mentality. I won’t teach you that. This is the only advantage I have now. Fine. Fine. Your dress is beautiful. What a great color! Am I stupid? Yes. Am I foolish? Yes. Am I doomed? Not really. Even a fool has the right to survive. Shall I quit my job
Or wait to be fired? I think you should go and apologize to Chen Kaiyi. No, no. My thoughts are in a whirl. I can’t go. You just spilled the coffee. Of course Devil Chen must be angry. You embarrassed her in front of Xiao Hongxue. But standing upside-down won’t help with anything. Tell me
Who the D is. I don’t know. But what happened today has nothing to do with D. Am I really not qualified to stay in Blossom? If you give up now, you won’t be qualified. I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go see Chen Kaiyi immediately and apologize to her.
I’ll accept it whether she beats me or curses me, as long as she lets me stay. That’s it. Slow down! You just finished standing upside-down! [Blossom, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Chen Kaiyi] Come on in. [Blossom, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Chen Kaiyi] Ms. Chen, I came to apologize to you. This morning, I… Get out.
