I don’t know who named it. Saint Martins is the top fashion design school of the world. People in fashion industry all know it. This is a part of our company culture. The thematic department people like to come here to discuss their plans. Maybe this is the place for them to keep their dreams.
Otherwise their lives would be lost in those cubes in the office. Some others come here to share secrets or hide something. For the mean ones, this is the place for gossiping, comforting each other and whining. I’m telling you that if one day someone asks you to gossip here, that means
You’re truly one of us. What do you mean? You’ve got the internship. But an intern is not a regular employee yet. If you’re okay with that, next Monday will be your first day. I’m totally okay with that. I’ll come to work next Monday. But what changed your mind? Li Na,
I don’t know the relationship between you, George and Yan Kai. I don’t know your background either. Anyway, Chen Kaiyi asked me to recruit you, so I did. But I need to say something first. We, Blossom, are the best fashion magazine in China. Cherish your internship here. Actually, for me, you muddled through
Your interview. If you want to muddle through your work in the future, that’s a big no for me. If that happens, I’ll fire you no matter what others say. Madam, I know I’m not qualified enough for this post yet, but I… You don’t need to make any promise. Just remember,
I’ll keep an eye on you. Welcome to the family. Thank you, madam! Thank you. No words can express my excitement now. I know I’m not good enough, but I’ll work hard for sure. And George and I… Shush. What are you doing? Hello! This is… This is the… A new employee.
We’re having the interview. The HR department now conduct the interviews in the stairway? Li Na, let’s go. I’ll see you off. Okay. Goodbye, sir! Hi, Tui, what’s up? Tell him to leave. Got it. I’ll come back later, wait for me. Do you work at Blossom? Yes. Hello. Hello. I’ll be working there
Soon too. Um, which department… No one has expected this. Okay. Let’s talk when we meet. Okay. [Saint Martins] Just say it. What’s up? We haven’t chat for a long while. We’re all sad for such a tragedy. If that’s what you’re going to talk about, I’ll go. Please don’t. Let’s get down to business.
What business? Audit. Audit what? The boss of the group headquarter audited the accounts of George. I think this might be the reason why George committed suicide. Why would the headquarter audit George’s accounts? I don’t know. You tell me. Is it Chen Kaiyi? Cut it out. Someone died. Anyway,
I’m not the only one thinking so for sure. You and I are both Chen Kaiyi’s people. Hello. Is there any quality problem? No, but the size doesn’t fit. This is your size. I bought it for my little sister, it’s too large for her. Is the tag still on? Probably.
Well I think it might fit well. I’ll keep it. Thank you. We’ve argued all the way. Have some water. I really worried about you. George died today and your phone was off. I was so anxious that I called the reception. I really feared that something might have happened to you. Okay. My bad.
I apologize. It’s my fault today. I shouldn’t have broken our promise. I know our relationship should be kept secret. But it was only less than a minute. I stopped and you got in the car. I don’t understand, what could possibly go wrong? Have some water. I’ve received the decisions of the board.
They just finished their meeting. Starting from next year, the advertising on traditional media will be cut sharply. Your company will be the first to be affected. There’s nothing I can do this time. Rumors about George’s death is all over the place now. They say his books are shady and someone found out.
Our directors have long wanted to invest more on new media, but I kept saying no. Well, no one dares to speak for you now. Is the investigation of George only a start? Will we be affected? No, probably not. Whatever George did, we haven’t been involved, right? What did he do? Were you in?
The Economic Investigation Team talked to you too, didn’t they? What did they ask? Let’s get married. What? Let’s get married. For real? It’s unrealistic. Forget about it. What’s going on with you? Today is the first time I felt that life is short. Not the time for these feelings. After George’s death,
You are the chief editor. Will the books you handled be reinvestigated? Even if they look into them, they can’t find anything. Are you sure? If you say so, then it must be all right. If you want to get married, we can do that tomorrow. You know, for all those years,
I’ve been waiting for you to say yes. Now it’s not the right time. When is the right time then? We’ll be old if we keep waiting. Give me more time. I’m okay with that, but I worry about you. To others, you’re the queen of the fashion business, but to me, you’re so vulnerable
And need my protection. I just hate to meet in hotel more and more. I hate hotels. [Blossom] Sir, how much is it? 25 yuan. Do you have previous issues? Let me find them for you. That’s all I have. Seven issues, 175 yuan. Okay. Sir, they are all old ones.
Can you give me a discount? Do you want them? I’ll go home if you don’t. I do. I’ll buy four then. Sure. Four. Thank you. Hello. Hello. Dad. Hello. Hello. Who is calling? Can you hear me? Listen. Ningqi is singing. – Guan Zhong’s concubine is persuading. – Can I tell you something?
Extraordinary stuff can’t be named… Listen. Um, can I borrow some money? Darling, bring me money. What money? That’s your daughter. Not my business. Just bring it. – What was spent will return one day… – Hello? No money for you. Ouch. Hello? Hello? [Western Food, Coffee] What are you doing there? Come in.
Come in. Leave it to me. Take a seat. You’re the boss… I just mopped the floor, you will soil it. Take a seat. Your ex-boyfriend is really a piece of work. He and his girlfriend sat there for a night. I asked him to leave but he didn’t. He said he’d come tomorrow.
He’s determined to see you. I don’t want to see him. You don’t, but he wants to see you. I don’t understand. He cheated, right? He cheated, but it seems you’re in the wrong. If I were young, I wouldn’t spare him. Believe me. You are too kind. What can I do then?
By the way, how did the interview go? Good. I’ll come to work next Monday. So George kept his promise. Good. I’ll cook for him to show my gratitude next time he comes. He can’t come. Why? You made him angry? He’s gone. Gone? He fell from the building today. They said he killed himself.
I haven’t even thanked him. Such is life… Tui, do you think his suicide has something to do with the people who chased him that day? Li Na, come with me. Take a seat. I have something to tell you. George was a regular customer of us. He’s also a respected man.
A few days ago, he was beaten by the loan sharks here. You were here then and saved him, right? He offered the interview opportunity to thank you, didn’t he? Remember, don’t talk about the things between you and him at the company. Understand? Yes. The directors asked me about this today
And I didn’t say anything. Good. Unlike our small restaurant, there are lots of people and lots of things going on in that big company. You need people to support you there. If George was alive, he could help you. Now he’s gone, you can only rely on yourself. You are such a poor kid.
What’s this? I can’t accept it. Just take it. New job, new start. You need a better place than this dorm to live. Go find a place and rent it. Make it your sweet home. Don’t cry. Well, why crying? Well, I know it. You’ve been here for over a year and from my observation,
You are a kind-hearted kid. I can’t help you much, that’s all I can do for you. One needs money out there. Don’t cry. Remember, leave here with your head high. Don’t cry. Why crying? There’s nothing to cry about. You don’t want to meet those two, do you? Take this money
And go shopping tomorrow. Buy yourself some nice clothes. Make yourself look nice and clean Go to work early in the morning next Monday. Okay, it’s late now, I’m leaving. Switch the lights off to save some energy. By the way, remember, this place is your home.
Come back and visit me if you have time. Thank you! Um, you… You make it look like I did something bad. Hold on. Slowly, slowly. Hang in there. Director Yan? Sir? Dummy? Little fool? Yan Kai, I love you. Ninety three, ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight,
Ninety nine, one hundred. [Tui borrowed me ten thousand today] [Blossom] Why are you following me? I’m going this way too. Okay. I’ll go that way then. I can go that way too. What’s up? My bad last night, I shouldn’t have drunk that much. But I really don’t know
How I ended up in your home. I just told you. Nothing happened last night, really. I know, I was too drunk for that. Why are you like this then? What? You run away when you saw me. I woke up and you were beside me. Of course I had to run. You were drunk,
I worried about you. Ya’nan, I’m your boss. We can’t be like this, you know? Like what? Anyway, not like this. Let’s just say nothing happened yesterday. Nothing did never happen yesterday. I’m leaving then. I just like you. I don’t want office romance either, even less with my boss.
But I just can’t help it. I just like you. Even if you don’t like me, even if you fire me, you can’t stop me from liking you. If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as silent approval. What silent approval? Anyway, you can’t like me and I don’t want to hurt you. Understand?
I don’t mind, I just like you. Why so late? I worried about you. Hello. Americano, thanks. Stop frowning I’ll speak Mandarin. What happened? Why did the police question you? Show me the fashion show plan. Press this key. [Themed Fashion Show] All the negative reports are gone? Yes, all of them.
I worked the whole morning for that. But… But what? Rumors are everywhere. People won’t stop talking about it. What rumors? Tell me. Some said George embezzled money and cooked the books. Some said he offended the headquarter people. And… Say it. The biggest rumor is that you’re behind all of these.
They say you wanted to be the chief editor so you blew the whistle on George at the headquarter, which caused his suicide. Say something I haven’t known yet. Nothing to tell then, that’s all I know. No. This plan is not it. Why? What’s wrong? Any other designers? There are, but
This one is already the best. Boss, do you have some ideas about the fashion show in your mind? Just tell me. Right now, I can’t find other designers for our cases. This is your job, I only care about the result. Next week there’s a show in Shanghai. I’ll send Sherry there.
You go instead. But I’ve told Sherry. The show is just an excuse. I want you there to ask something for me. What? I felt we’ve only seen the surface. The chief editor was very surprised after learning about George. The headquarter didn’t plan to audit George’s books at all. But the rumors about this
Are everywhere. Today, the share price dropped by 3%. Maybe the headquarter will audit George’s books for real to stabilize the share price and put an end to the speculation. Someone must be behind all of these. Everything points to that. In this way, George’s death is not an end, but a beginning.
Who do you think is behind these? I don’t know yet. So I want you to get some information at the headquarter. It’s better if you can talk to a board member. See who was focusing on George recently. Also, about George’s successor, try to delicately ask what they think. Of course that’s you.
No question about that. If that’s me, there wouldn’t be rumors about me causing his suicide. So you think the person behind is targeting you? Just do as I said, forget about the rest at this moment. One moment. You haven’t tell me what the police questioned you for. They confirmed that George killed himself.
He suffered from severe depression and there were lots of anti-depressants at his home. The police also checked with the doctors. George had suffered from depression for over two years. He was in a lot of pain during this time. Although he tried his best to follow doctor’s instructions, he just couldn’t keep going on
Anymore. Why didn’t we know this sooner? We don’t know or care about George as much as we imagined. We don’t deserve to be his friend. Mr. An, our magazine is always in the best spot every day. Thank you. No need to. The cover of your magazine is really pretty. Right?
Does it sell well? It has been here for two weeks. No one has bought it yet. Now, people hardly buy magazines. Everyone is staring at their phones on the subway. No one reads magazines anymore. Right. Um, is the latest issue of “Sweet” here? I’ll buy one. It’s here. You still read magazines?
Here you are. Keep it. You’re a regular customer, take it as a gift. Mr. An, did you win the lottery? Don’t tease me. This is my last day selling magazines. Last day? My wife and I did some market survey. This place enjoys a good flow of people. Nowadays, young people
Don’t have breakfast at home. In the morning, hundreds of people queue up to buy breakfast. If I can sell 300 egg pancakes a day here, I break even. If I can sell more, that’s my profit. It’s much better than selling magazines, right? Zhao, when my food stall opens, be my customer. I will.
Here. That’s my QR code. Scan it and join the group. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. There would be a discount. A group? I’m in it. Okay, come often in the future. I will. Looking forward to your pancake. Bye. Mr. An, for my membership. Wait… Goodbye. She’s so generous. Anyway,
Your job is to help the editors in the Thematic Department. Do what they need. Understand? Understand? Yes. I’ve written it down. Here. There are departments for content, advertising, design, copyright, finance, PR… Okay, stop, look at this yourself later. Here you go. What’s that? You’re an intern and don’t have your own work station.
This is the seat of Cai Fei, our coordinator. You sit with her here from now on. Help her if she needs it. No problem. This is your badge. You need it to enter and leave. Remember to clock in and out, [Intern] or it will affect your attendance. I know it.
Clock in 9:30 AM and clock out 6:30 PM. Director Qin. Cai Fei, this is our new intern Li Na. She’ll sit here from now on. There’s not much space here. There’s not much space in the whole company, sorry about that. And you can teach her. Director Qin, one last question. Does our company
Offer dorms to employees? I’m looking for places to rent recently, but the rent now is very expensive. And it requires one-month deposit and three-month rent paid in advance too. It troubles me a lot. We have rental allowances, but don’t offer dorms. You’d better find a friend to share a place.
I don’t have any friends. Cai Fei, you live near the company, don’t you? If I remember correctly, you live alone. Director Qin, please… I’ll leave you two alone. Hello Ms. Cai. I’m Li Na. How much does your apartment cost each month? Is it expensive? Leave me alone. We haven’t started
To typeset the December issue yet. The promotional article of yours was rejected by Director Yan. [Intern] I guess he just doesn’t want it. I don’t know why either, you can ask him. Is your apartment… Do you need any help? Hello. It’s for you. Okay. Xiaomi, this is our new intern Li Na.
From now on, she’ll be the one to buy us coffee. Just leave this to me. I’ve notified them. Okay, I’ll notify them again right away. Who? Understood. Your coffee. Director Yan notified us to join a topic discussion five minutes later. You need to join too. Why? I don’t know.
