Why are you taking her to Hong Kong? We’ve broken with Chen Kaiyi. If she’s left in the company, she’ll be bullied. Lu Binbin will do the coordination. Coordination? He’ll just force everybody to take a stand and pick a side. I don’t think the case will be reversed. People prefer to follow the winner.
No matter who wins in the end and becomes the final victor, employees will follow him. But everybody thinks Chen Kaiyi stands a good chance of replacing you as the new publisher. That’s why I’m taking the flight to Paris. I’ve had an appointment with the chief editor.
French superiors are aware of Chen Kaiyi’s scandal. I’m on my way to verify the details with the chief editor. In this case, we’re likely to defeat her. My boarding will be in three hours. I want a rest. Have some water. What’s the probability of success after you’re back in Hong Kong?
I talked with my father and brother about the acquisition. They’ll help me contact friends who can offer direct help. I’ll also go meet some senior investors. As for the acquisition, we can at least make a basic position. Did your father say anything? He first asked why I would still help you.
How did you reply? I said, I’ve lost my marriage. I can’t lose anything else. You know my father. He’s a very proud man. After I said that, he asked no more questions. Why did you lose your marriage? Why did you say that to your father? I’m really tired. Go board the plane.
After you’re back from Paris, let’s talk, shall we? Thank you. Anyway, thank you. I’ll sleep in the bedroom and you’ll sleep on the sofa. Then why didn’t we just get two rooms? What if others know it or what if reporters see us? I’m so tired. If you can fall asleep now,
Go sleep in the bedroom and I’ll sleep on the sofa. Chen Kaiyi, are we crazy? What kind of life we’re living! Keep your voice down. When we were in a relationship before getting married, we had to date sneakily. We each have an apartment, but we had to date sneakily in hotels.
Now, we’re married and we no longer need to date secretly. But we have to pretend we’re dating! What on earth is wrong with us? I’m indeed tired. Let’s talk tomorrow. ♪I’m used to standing up after failure♪ Now you know why I’m in a relationship with Vivian, right? Ah? When I’m with her,
Whether we love each other or not, whether we live together or not, we have true feelings! She never says, “Oh, I’m tired. Let’s talk tomorrow. ” As long as I’m around her, I’m the most important to her. I suggest that you shouldn’t leave this room. Reporters are out there.
If they see you leave, we can’t explain. You can’t tell anyone that you saw a UFO. ♪Or how I lost my memories after I was drunk♪ ♪And made myself forget♪ ♪I’m no longer kind♪ ♪I dress up in disguise♪ ♪Let me look in the mirror♪ ♪Forcing a bitter smile♪ ♪And losing the passing love♪
♪What else can we lose♪ ♪I’m used to standing up after failure♪ ♪It’s about times and love♪ ♪It’s about you Don’t lose your honor♪ ♪What else can we lose♪ ♪I’m used to standing up after failure♪ ♪It’s about times and love♪ ♪It’s about you Don’t lose your honor♪
Li Na, come to my office in five minutes. Three things. First, if I bring some trouble in your coming in and out of the building in recent days, I apologize to you. But don’t let it disturb your work. Second, no one shall accept any kind of interview.
You must speak with one voice with PR Department. Third, I’m married. Li Na will distribute the wedding candies later. No wedding. No party. No present accepted. All themes for the next issue must be submitted to me within today. You know what? This isn’t going to work.
You took the cargo lift today and they’ll wait for you there tomorrow. You can’t come to work as if playing hide-and-seek. Look how you’re wrapping yourself. Ask Yan Kai to come to my office. In ten minutes, ask Deng Wen and Qin Min to come, too. And a cup of Americano. Thanks.
Are you listening to me? You… How is it going with the Themed Fashion Show? It goes as usual. I’m done talking with the models. The guests to be invited are almost settled. We’re working on the site problem. It’s so crazy, you know? The price for the site has gone up again.
You’d better be prepared. This year’s Themed Fashion Show will be postponed without day. What? What does that mean? I mean it literally. Is there a notice from the head office? No. Then why? Do you think it can be held as scheduled under such circumstances? But everything is nearly settled,
Except for the signing of the contract! It hasn’t been signed yet, anyway. Mary, we’ll start a battle. We can’t lose. We must focus. Come on in. Buy some wedding candies with the money and share them with our colleagues. Okay. Boss Yan. Get to your business, too.
The Themed Fashion Show is postponed without day. It is? This isn’t what I want to tell you. Take your seat. We’ll establish the New Media Department. I want Zhao Xin to be in charge. She’s fit for that. She worked on an official account and it was quite influential. I’ll arrange men for her.
The New Media Department is equivalent with the Thematic Department, instead of being subordinate. Let Zhao Xin pick the employees for her own department. The two departments will be competing. Competing? The New Media Department and the Thematic Department are independent content departments. The costs and benefits will be independently settled.
There’ll be an assessment every year. The assessment result links up with the year-end bonus. Okay. Besides, from this day on, you’re only the director of the Thematic Department, but will also hold the post as the deputy editor-in-chief. But I can’t make it public for the moment. You know the reason.
So, be prepared for a protracted battle. Okay? Come on in. Have I made myself clear? Yes. I’ll take my leave. Have a meeting with your subordinates. The quality of the recent two issues have declined sharply. Deng Wen. Mm? Send away the paparazzi downstairs, at whatever cost. Okay. Count on me. Draft an announcement
That this year’s Themed Fashion Show will be postponed. The date of holding is to be determined. What about the reason? Force majeure. Fine. I’m on it. Qin Min, we’ll establish the New Media Department and Zhao Xin will be in charge. Have a talk with her and see what she demands on the remuneration.
Satisfy her as far as we can. Okay. Find a new advertising director as soon as possible. Lu Binbin’s resignation hasn’t been approved yet. Ignore him. The company I’ve found is negotiating with the French superiors about the acquisition details. Within two weeks, there’ll be substantial progress.
I hear Xiao Hongxue is back in Hong Kong. Xiang Tingfeng has gone to Paris, I guess. Don’t be influenced by them. From now on, Blossom will have no authorities for a short period. We must make the best use of it. First, we mustn’t panic. Second, our work mustn’t be in a mess. Third,
Missions to be promoted mustn’t be influenced. In terms of facts, we must guarantee the actual control of Blossom. Do you get it? Yes. Didn’t I make it clear? What? Do you not believe me or do you not believe that Mr. Xiang and Xiao Hongxue can win? Oh.
The company will be reorganized sooner or later. There’s no point in being centrists. You may be washed out in the first round. So, as you can see, Ms. Chen and Ms. Xiao have reached a stalemate already. We have to pick a side. Why must we pick Xiao Hongxue? I explained it just now.
Come on. We’re close friends. Make your decisions quickly. I certainly get your point. And then? Help you or not? We can help you. Right, Pan? You sound like our opinions carry weight. Yeah. We’re small potatoes in the company. I hate to say it, but we’re of little importance. Right. It is
Quite modest of you. Nice trick. But the situation is no longer what it was. You can’t fool around with a little trick. You all know how Chen Kaiyi treated me, right? She cares for no one, but Mary. Yan Kai is one of them. All the others are redundant. If Chen Kaiyi wins,
I’ll leave without concern. You’ll have a lot of trouble, too. Lu, you’re too serious. We two are employees. No matter who we work for, it doesn’t make a difference. Like Luo Han said, we will help you. You just don’t need to have so many empty talks. I don’t? Fine.
I’ll drink the tea instead. Wait. My point is that we know what is happening. After we’re back in the company, you should know what to do and what to say. Of course, he knows. We’re buddies, right? Sherry, these clothes need dust prevention. You should prepare them well for the Show.
Don’t make them dusty. Here. Hang them here. Feeling bad, aren’t you? I’m at work. I’ll do whatever my boss asks me to. Why would I feel bad? I know you’ve done a lot of preparatory work for the Show. The ceremonial dresses… Put them in a separate wardrobe.
How many times must I remind you before you can remember? Be more attentive. I’m all right. Bear with it. After we get through this crisis, we will hold the best show. I’m okay. Don’t worry too much about me. Fine. If you feel bad, let me know. Mm. You’re going out? Yeah.
I’m going to meet the brand directors and explain to them the delay of the Show. Don’t take the cargo lift. Paparazzi are waiting there, too. Don’t worry. Mm. Sherry, tear off the photos. How many times do I have to tell you? Tear all the photos off. All of them? Yes. Ouch.
We’ve been drinking tea the whole afternoon. My mouth is even swollen. I want no more. Empty the cup. Sorry. Boss, didn’t you have a nice talk with them? I didn’t. After they’re back in the company, they’ll still be fence-sitters. Believe it or not. Fence-sitters? You don’t understand? Back in the company, they’ll do
What they should and say what they should. When they need to flatter Chen Kaiyi, they will do that, too. The crisis indeed reveals a person’s heart. Come on. Jingjing, who else did we invite? The deputy director of the PR Department. Du Xia’s assistant of the Finance Department.
And the leader of the Art Group. But they said they couldn’t come. If they can’t come, why did you bother to tell me? Who else can we meet? No one. No one? No one, exactly. Oh, no. We’re all alone. Boss, I hear… What? I hear that the HR Department is recruiting
A new advertising director. I’m afraid you will be… What are you talking about? Fire me? Mm. They want to fire me, right? Mm. They’re mad. They’re mad. That’s horrible. Well, it doesn’t matter. When they don’t come to see us, let’s go meet them. Jingjing, let me teach you something. Yes, Boss.
In life, we often lose, but seldom win. We must lose a little but win a lot. As long as we keep going, there’ll be hope. Boss, you said it before. Promising girl. Promising. When did he say it? Don’t ask. You won’t understand. So, remember, the battle has just started. Tastes great.
It’s so nice of you. You always invite me to try new dishes. Of course. This dish has a name, Moon Rises. It’s steak. Why do you give it such a strange name? It has a great meaning. When the moon rises, people date each other. Do you know what it means? By the way,
Your colleague who lives with you… How are you getting on with her? Very well. She’s on a business trip to Hong Kong. That’s right. In the day, you see each other in the company. Right? Back in the apartment at night, you see each other, too. It’s hard to get along.
Let’s get back to the dish. Look at the salt. It looks like the moon. Doesn’t it? And look at the trimming. It’s the willow twig. Right? Mr. Tui, just get to the point. You make me scared. Okay. Let’s talk some business. You… You’re no longer young. And you’ve been in this city
For a few years. Isn’t it time to get married? Shouldn’t you have a warm home? I… I’ve found several men for you. Not many. Just three. What do you think, too many or too few? Mr. Tui, I know. I know you care about me. But now, I’m quite busy working.
And I’m still young. I’m too busy to have time or energy for a relationship. Right? Come on, girl. I haven’t finished yet. Listen carefully. These men are reliable. They’re local, working in government-affiliated institutions. They own apartments and cars. A few years ago, one of them
Had his old house pulled down beside the second ring. Now, beside the fifth ring, he has seven apartments. Seven? Yes. Seven? Seven. Stop, girl. Why are you suddenly running away? Come on. Mr. Tui, you’re like my father in Beijing. Every time I come here, I feel comfortable. But if you keep talking
About blind dates, I don’t dare to come anymore. Look at you. A grown-up man ought to marry. Every Jack shall have his Jill. It’s a natural rule. Isn’t it? You work alone in Beijing. When will you stop? The longer you work, the older you get. Think about it. Find a local man. Right?
When you’re in trouble or have difficulty, he can help you solve it. I know. I know. I know you care about me. But look, I’ve got a job. I’m promoted, too. I’ve got a pay rise. And I have good friends. I’m too busy to be in a relationship.
You can at least get to know them, can’t you? As the saying goes, a man lives a life just to enjoy it. Why are young guys like you so cold to everything? You know what? Soon, you’ll grow old. You’ll be too old to get married. You’ll be an old single woman.
By then, no one cares about you. If you do stupid things, you’ll suffer. Do you think you’re awesome or fashionable? You know what? In a couple of years, you’ll be a nagging woman, living a hard life. Genius. You’re a genius, Mr. Tui. You’re awesome! You’re great! You’re going the wrong way. I know!
What a girl! Don’t always pursue the shiny exterior. Think more about a sweet life. Genius! Genius? I said sound bites. Dear little girl… Wait. Wait. What’s the hurry? I just thought of a very good theme. I must hurry back and write it down. I’ll look up some information. Theme? What theme?
Office life PK alley wisdom. It sounds quite… How are you going to write it? I’m going to interview ten white collars or gold collars who work in office buildings and ask them three keyword questions. What is the real ideal? What is good love? What is the right life? I’ll ask
Ten elderly men and women who live in alleys the same questions. Very common people. I get your point. Sounds interesting. But the theme is too big and too general. You’d better find a more accurate and a… A smaller topic. What does that mean? Keep quiet. Anxiety. Yes, anxiety. What does it mean?
You’ll work on the topic. The name is The miserable life in office buildings PK the leisure life in food markets. We all think we’re living a good life. But Xin, it’s quite a long headline. Where shall we put this manuscript? The New Media platform. In the afternoon, Qin Min talked to me.
The New Media Department will be established. I’ll be in charge. I’ll run a new official account, named Fashion Lab. Work on the theme first. I’ll decide when to publish it. Do you want to join the New Media Department? If you do, I’ll make you the feature editor. What do you think?
I certainly do! But what about my job as the process editor? I’ll talk to Qin Min about it. The point is whether you want it. I do! Thank you, Xin! Do you think I’m fit for the job? I… For the sake that you’re back for the theme, I think you’re fit for it.
Darn it! What the heck! Xin! Li Na! Devil Chen is in trouble again! Watch. Watch the video! What happened? Breaking news. Ms. Chen. Ms. Chen. The lawyers are on their way. They watched the video and found the man who was beaten. And then? It’s troublesome. Why? The man who was beaten
Belongs to the paparazzi team. They don’t accept settlement out of court or mediation. According to our lawyers, they’re very experienced. In case we accuse them of extortion, they didn’t offer any terms of settlements. Do we have any other option? Actually, I had private dealings with the paparazzi team. They have a customary quotation.
How much? Two million as the hush money, excluding the medical expenses or compensation for the victim. What should I do next? You should do nothing. Don’t take any interviews or give any responses. Let’s first wait and see how the public opinions will develop. Wait, Officer Liu. Officer Liu, shall we…?
I’ll go make a phone call. Okay. Thank you. Ms. Chen. Does it hurt? The lawyers are coming soon. The situation is too tricky to be easily handled. Just now, I consulted Deng Wen. Now, I can’t speak for you. Please forgive me. But don’t worry. When appropriate, I will… I’ve lost my job. What?
My company had my accounts audited. I couldn’t explain some problems. My leader asked me to quit my job in case we became embarrassed. I’m done. I’ve lost everything. You haven’t. It’s just a job. It’s easy to say that. But this circle is small. Do you really think I can find another job?
Then try another industry. Your company, for example? All my resources and social connections have been in this circle. I’ve accumulated them for nearly a decade. They’re gone. They’re all gone. All I have now is the ridiculous marriage with you. What on earth is the fact? Chen Kaiyi!
Ms. Chen, who is the editor-in-chief now? Ms. Chen, answer the question, please. Ms. Chen. What was your question? Which one of you is the real editor-in-chief? We’re also waiting for the conclusion from the head office. So, you don’t admit that Xiao Hongxue is the editor-in-chief, right? She doesn’t need me
To admit whether she’s the editor-in-chief. I need. Or others will misunderstand us. Others mostly care about us. Here, I’d like to thank you for your concern. But when you keep coming every day, you indeed influence our work. We’re of the same trade, after all. Today, I want to take the chance
To have open communication with you. Lately, I’ve been avoiding you not because I’m scared or terrified, but because it’s not necessary to explain. Media is a social tool. It should focus more on cases with higher social values, instead of spying on my private life or anyone else’s. We work in the same industry.
We know very well what faith and spirit we should adhere to. We should stick to correct but hard beliefs, instead of getting stuck in vulgar and easy cases. It takes a long time to build the world of ration. But it takes only seconds to crush it. This is the last response
I’m making to what has happened lately. Hope you’ll stop caring about my privacy. Thank you. Thank you. Boss, I’ll get back to the company. Enjoy your talk. Ah. Okay. Bye. Actually, Jingjing could stay. She’s one of us. I hear you’re quite busy drawing over all the important employees.
You made rapid progress in Mandarin. I didn’t even think of “draw over”. You flatter me. You know my relationship with Kaiyi. I do. To be honest, I never expected to be on the same side as you. I hear you two have problems with the Themed Fashion Show. Do you know why the Show
Will be suspended without day? Tell me about it. Let me ask you something. Ms. Xiao asked you to take full charge of the Show, right? Mm. After that, in terms of planning, preparing, or innovating, Ms. Xiao never interfered, did she? No. Unfortunately, Chen Kaiyi brought up the capital thing
And got back the final say. The Themed Fashion Show, the brand sponsors, and the advertisers… We know very well that everything was nearly done. But Chen Kaiyi found an excuse, the force majeure. What is force majeure? The answer is simple. During the fight for power, Chen Kaiyi suddenly experienced failure.
Of course, she’s at a stalemate with Ms. Xiao. It’s hard to tell who will win. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that she’s scared. The Themed Fashion Show every year can be the most wonderful moment when Chen Kaiyi shows off her power. Mr. Xiang and Ms. Xiao have made her scared.
If now, at such a critical moment, you steal her thunder of holding the Show, she’ll have another enemy, won’t she? So, I think… Just in my opinion, she’ll try her best to remove all the steps for your promotion. Director Lu, when you keep thinking about so many things,
Will you be sleepless at night? When I see the Show is suspended after you’ve made such great efforts, I feel bad, too. Won’t you be sleepless? Just get to the point. What on earth do you want me to do? What makes Chen Kaiyi proud is her status and resources in the fashion circle.
She keeps saying, “I made a supermodel popular.” or “I know all the leaders of a famous brand.” But all sensible guys know that without the Clothing Department, the most powerful department of Blossom, Chen Kaiyi would be nothing, but a useless woman. All she could do was to write articles and pick boring themes
With Yan Kai in the office. Boring, boring, boring. I know. Employees of the Clothing Department admire no one, but you. So, support Ms. Xiao Hongxue with all your subordinates. Oh. I wondered what you wanted to tell me. Now I know, it’s all nonsense. You know what? I am a very professional employee.
I only take orders from the editor-in-chief. Xiao Hongxue is still the editor-in-chief. I’ll listen to her at work. I don’t mean that. What do you mean, then? We’ll forcibly hold the Themed Fashion Show. Forcibly? How? Kick Chen Kaiyi out. You, Ms. Xiao, and I will do that together.
As long as you join us, all the resources and reputations of the Themed Fashion Show will be yours.
