Grandfather...
are you keeping something from me?
Keeping things from you?
Since when have I kept anything from you?
Stop making blind conjectures.
[Rui Hua East Street Shop: Model Store of the City. Awarded to recognize your achievement. January 1999]
[Rui Hua Jewelry]
Sister Lin, how is the business lately?
You see it yourself.
We only had one
transaction the whole morning.
The environment has changed a lot these last few years.
The other stores are all trying to catch up
with the latest fashion trends.
But our Rui Hua
still has the same old three items:
We are unable to keep up with fashion trends gold rings, gold bracelets, and gold necklaces.
We are unable to keep up with fashion trends
The business was better
when your mom was around.
Handsome boy, what do you want to buy?
I want to buy a gift for my mom.
It's her birthday today.
We agreed to go to the amusement park
to ride the carousel on her birthday.
Ah Zhi, I am so sorry.
I am so busy I forgot about it.
It's okay, Mom.
I'll help you remember.
This is my pocket money.
Choose the one that you like.
I will pay the bill.
Little Fool,
I don't need your money to buy a gift.
Why don't we do this?
You can give me a kiss and we will treat it as your gift.
Okay?
Come.
Good boy.
Wait a moment.
Take a look.
I know my Little Zhi loves the carousel best.
So, I made this for you.
Look. This little star represents Mom.
This little horse represents Ah Zhi.
Come. Try it on.
In the future,
when I'm busy,
let the little star and little horse keep you company.
How about that?
Okay, okay.
What a good boy!
That year, our store was publicly recognized
as a model for sales in the industry.
We were even issued a model store recognition
plaque by the city.
Now, our sales have hit the bottom in the company.
General Manager Mu is very dissatisfied
with our sales.
Get into the car!
Get in!
Thank you.
Sister Lin.
Yu Zhi?
Yu Zhi, why are you here?
Look. Why didn't you tell anyone that you were back?
Also, why didn't you stay at home?
Is my house still here?
I thought it was General Manager Mu's house.
Look.
Why are you so hesitant?
We are all one family.
Isn't my house your house, too?
I still get them to clean your room every day.
You can come back there to stay anytime.
Thank you for your trouble, General Manager Mu.
And for thinking of me as well.
What are you talking about?
Look. You were gone for such a long time
and didn't even call once.
I, your dad, and grandmother
were all worried about you.
Now that you are back.
Don't go wandering outside anymore.
Let's go. Come back with me and let Grandmother look at you.
Forget it.
It's office hours now.
I won't be disturbing General Manager Mu's work.
You are the famous workaholic of Rui Hua.
Anyway,
I will definitely come back for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
You will see me then.
Perhaps,
I will stay at home for a while this time.
It's possible you might even find me bothersome.
Yu Zhi,
you treat me like an outsider when you talk like that.
You are Guanghua's son, so you are mine, too.
Although, I'm your stepmom,
I have always treated you like my biological son.
Of course, I wish for you to stay at home more often. That would be best.
With this statement from General Manager Mu,
then I will be able to stay long term.
Okay, I won't disturb your time anymore.
I'm going now.
Yu Zhi... Yu Zhi! I...
General Manger Mu.
You didn't achieve your sales target again last month.
If you still don't achieve it this month,
be prepared to close this shop.
[Caffe Pascucci]
Are you shooting a Hollywood romance movie?
You really have to walk
ten thousand miles before you can turn life into a library of material.
This experience is too romantic.
If I don't use it, it's really wasted.
What are you writing?
Documenting this material.
Don't worry.
Just leave it to me to look for James.
Last month,
I wrote an article titled,
"Meeting Thirty-six Handsome Young Men."
When I get back,
I will start writing this immediately. Title: "Romantic Encounter in the Countryside."
I will write everything about you
and James in this story.
Do not underestimate me.
Currently, my writing is really popular.
Perhaps James is also reading it.
In this way, he'll be able to find you. Right?
You are really full of imagination.
You should have chosen to study Chinese Literature in college before.
Why did you study jewelry design instead?
Let's return to the topic at hand. Gao Jie,
are you interested in James?
Why don't I mobilize my book fans,
The Little Angels, to help you look for him?
How about that?
With your sketch of James
No, please don't!
Don't you know
the situation in my family?
To me, dating will turn
into something very troublesome in the end.
Gao Jie, you are really too pessimistic.
Is it still because of your mom's illness?
You can't lose all hope for love
because of the situation in your family.
In the beginning, love is pure.
However,
as it continues to evolve,
you must still face what you need to face.
So, I've been thinking about it these past two days.
Perhaps Heaven made the best
arrangement for me
and James
by ending it all at the most appropriate moment.
So you went for special training in Southeast Asia, right?
Why did you climb so ferociously?
You are the one who became slower.
I didn't become slower.
It's because the scale of your anger has increased.
Don't I understand you?
The scale of your anger and your fighting spirit
are directly proportional to each other.
I went to the old shop on East Street
and saw Mu Ziyun.
No wonder.
Actually, I have always been fearful of Mu Ziyun.
Especially after what happened when you were ten years old.
It made me feel
that this woman can't be taken for granted.
She actually framed a child
for the loss of the red ruby the family bought.
She even made your family
sell its share of the stocks to pay back the debt.
That was too frightening.
I will definitely let this matter come to light publicly.
Have you made up your mind?
I will never forget everything that she did.
[Fancy Jewelery Co., Ltd.]
The above is my design concept.
Thank you, everybody.
Good, very good.
After Fancy entered the Chinese market,
we paid less attention to the youth consumer group.
This time, Wendy chose the concept
of an alluring woman.
Furthermore, she uses the fox to interpret it.
I think this is especially creative.
And it also sounds very alluring.
The design is also very nice.
The two of you may take a look.
- Good.- Good. It's not bad.
- It's really not bad. - Yes.
Good. Next, Jocelyn.
This time, the inspiration
of my design comes from a flower without roots,
the snow flower (meaning snowflake).
Pure but complex, beautiful yet cold.
Just like the modern urban women now,
it neither relies on nor panders to others.
It has its own world.
Jocelyn,
this is such an aloof and cold jewelry.
Do you think any man would buy it for a woman?
Fancy is a large company.
Wedding and romance jewelry should be
the main focus of our designs.
We would not design
such an aloof and cold piece to cater to
a non-mainstream niche market.
Director Zhou,
the consumer trend for urban women
now is very...
Let's not talk about self-awareness first.
We also won't discuss
the problems with your design.
This time, we have specific requirements
for the internal speculative work in the company.
Furthermore, I already held meetings to communicate this.
Why didn't you follow the requirements of the company?
Or do you think that
your ideas are better
than the requirements of the company?
I clearly developed my design according to the requirements of the company.
What is wrong with it?
Jocelyn, although this round of speculative work
does not limit the main materials used and the matching stones,
you must choose from the universal theme of animals.
Animal theme?
Did you hear that? An animal theme.
Your Director of Design even said so.
This proves that
I properly communicated my message.
Okay, it's all right. Sit down.
Some designers have very good ideas,
but they are not what we need.
It's all right.
Both of you can start to grade the work now.
[Wendy's average score - 5+]
Good. Today,
all our designers have presented their design work.
I believe all of you worked diligently on your designs.
Of course,
some designers tried to show
off their own unique styles
in exhibiting their personal work.
It could make some feel that
they seem a bit overzealous in their approach.
How is it?
We're done.
Good.
Next, I'm going to announce
the winner of the Annual Ingenuity
Jewellery Designer Contest this year.
The designer representing Fancy is
Wendy, He Wenwen.
Congratulations!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
All thanks to you for asking Jocelyn to leave for a while during
the announcement meeting of the speculative work,
so that she didn't hear about that little requirement at the end.
Then... how are you going to thank me?
I will thank you in whichever way you want.
This is what you said, okay?
Don't have any regrets about it.
Wait a moment.
Do you think Jocelyn will report the two of us?
She is so rigid and scrupulous when it comes to working.
Gao Jie is naive.
Are you going to be naive like her, too?
To file a report on us, she must have evidence.
What's a report without evidence?
Furthermore, who will the company give the benefit of the doubt to?
Me, the Director of Operations,
or to her,
an insignificant designer?
This is called workplace rules.
Do you understand?
Zhou Di, you have crossed the line. (Human Resources Office)
Just because I tolerated you repeatedly,
you now bully and mistreat me like this.
I will not stay silent anymore.
Please come in.
[Human Resources Office] [Hai Feng Bookstore]
Thank you for being so willing to help me.
No need to be so modest.
I see that your poster is very creative.
Later, I'll get my colleague to
send it out for you.
Thank you for the hard work.
You are welcome.
I will be leaving first.
Okay.
[Hai Feng Bookstore]
Hai Feng Bookstore?
Do you also know the Hai Feng Bookstore?
We're from the same hometown.
I have been living overseas
for more than twenty years.
Time really flies.
In a blink of an eye,
Cilian has already been established for ten years.
This time,
in order to adapt better
and faster to the young people in the domestic market,
we have decided that
the Greater China Development Plan of Cilian
will be led by my daughter, Gao Hui.
In the domestic jewelry industry,
I am still a new comer.
In the past, my work that was presented in overseas award contests
may not be suitable for the market here.
So, this year,
I will participate in the Annual Ingenuity
Jewellery Designer Contest first.
I am really looking forward to comparing notes
and learning from the cutting-edge designers in the country.
I don't know
what kind of competitive opponents I might encounter.
Thank you.
[Miss J. Please find me. James].
Teacher Wu, this way, please.
Hello, Teacher Wu.
Hello, everyone.
