Lala. - Mom.

Mom, I'm finished.

I have a meeting this morning.

I'm leaving first.

You didn't sleep well? You have dark rings under your eyes.

What did you do to her?

Now you don't even talk to me. You take me as air.

Hello? It's me.

Let's have lunch together.

Da Wei Ge, why are you so good today? Asking me out for lunch.

Truth is, I have something to discuss with you.

Qian Qian, can you not be our bridesmaid?

Then I will be the bride.

Lala would like her friend to be the bridesmaid.

Bridesmaids are usually chosen by the bride.

But my mom also wants you to be the bridesmaid.

So there might be conflicts.

So my coming into your family caused trouble.

Qian Qian, it's not trouble.

You know that if I go to my mom to talk about it, it will be difficult.

So I hope you can see things from my perspective. Could you...

Fine. Weddings are very happy things.

I am happy too. So no problem. I agree.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Lala Jie.

Are you busy now?

Yes. I'm typing this document. Why?

I have something to tell you.

Alright.

Yesterday, Da Wei Ge came to see me.

He wanted to speak about the bridesmaid thing.

He said you don't want me to be your bridesmaid.

I know you don't like me.

Maybe it's because we are competing right now.

We are also in the same office.

Sometimes I have a way to deal with matters a little too rushed and straightforward.

I recognize that flaw of mine.

But sometimes I can't control it. You know I'm the proud and arrogant type.

So I hope you can be understanding.

That's right.

Many of your ways of dealing with things and speaking

are not very good.

But you have a lot of good points.

You sit in this place at such a young age. It's not easy to achieve.

When I was your age, I was still a rookie.

There's something else.

Do you really care about the bridesmaid thing?

My intentions are simple. To wear pretty clothes and attend Da Wei Ge's wedding.

Maybe I will meet my future Prince Charming.

Da Wei Ge's friends are all outstanding.

That's all. I didn't think you would care so much.

If it makes you unhappy, no problem.

Let's forget about it. I won't go.

Actually,

there are a lot of things to take care of for the wedding.

That's why,

I wasn't able to handle a lot of things myself.

It's okay. Things are difficult for you, I know.

To tell you the truth,

I have another reason to take part in this wedding.

You know that my parents left early.

I don't have family.

I was alone for many years in the US.

My only family are

the ones who saw me growing up, Da Wei Ge and Teacher Lu.

About Da Wei Ge's wedding,

I want give him my blessings.

I want him to be happy.

That's why,

I want to witness him going into the hall of happiness.

I just want to congratulate him.

That's all.

It's fine. If you still don't want me to

attend, I won't go. No problem.

It's not that.

Don't be sad.

I know it's not easy for a girl alone.

Right.

I know that Teacher Lu and Da Wei Ge are important for you.

You should come our wedding.

My bridesmaid, you're welcome to attend my wedding.

Thank you.

Also, Lala Jie, from now on,

if there is anything you are unhappy about me at work, tell me. I will change.

I know that sometimes I'm too stressful. Just tell me.

I have a lot of flaws to correct too.

Alright. I'm going back to work.

Yes.

There are flowers.

And pink ones.

Pink is matches your white complexion.

But it's too girly.

Still it's the closest one to your color.

The closest color to where?

The closest color to your body. Sometimes...

Enough.

And I just got a call.

Your favorite restaurant has just received fresh sea urchins.

So I reserved us two seats. I don't know if you're free.

I'm free. - Let's go! Hurry up!

Let's go.

Lala,

I called mom. She said you two are giving each other the silent treatment.

She also mentioned changing the bridesmaid.

You must convince Wang Wei.

Don't worry. Yesterday he already came to me and apologized with roses.

That's great.

About the the bridesmaid, I think we shouldn't change it.

Why?

What did Kathy do to you?

No, that's not it.

Actually, she's not that bad.

I can't avoid the competition with her at work, but that's normal.

There's no need to fight to the death. It's hard for a young girl like her too.

It's not easy for her?

What method did she use to make you feel like this?

Lala, did she open up to you?

I need to remind you. You've heard of the story of the farmer and snake, right?

It's not that bad.

Never mind, let her be the bridesmaid.

I cannot win against your mom anyway.

Lala, you are too nice.

Our family is so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you.

You always think about yourself last, you silly girl.

That's enough, let's not talk about this anymore.

Let's look at this. - What is this?

Look, I'll wear this at your wedding. What do you think?

People will love it.

Wear this?

People loving it isn't the problem. It lures people in. Impressive.

Really?

Look at how much skin you're showing.

It's great.

Ok, I'll wear this.

This is it!

They're all not good enough?

Not good.

Not enough education.

This one is pretty good.

MBA?

Yes, also work experience in North America and Europe.

Sheng Jiang University, is that your college?

Yes.

Look, do you know this person?

What's his name? Ethan? - Ethan Chen.

I don't know him.

This guy must be applying for the SH Vice President position.

Unfortunately, he doesn't specialize in sales. Although those sales managers positions are also full.

He can also be an operational manager.

But isn't that position managed by Kathy?

Right.

Then let's not worry about this.

I'll email him in a bit and tell him we currently don't have a suitable positions for him.

Xiao Qian.

Print me a copy of his resume for me later, I need to use it.

Morning.

Right,

this is for you.

What is it?

A resume?

This applicant's resume is very appropriate for the manager position you're hiring for.

Really?

This applicant is great! You're so generous to give him to me.

I said before that we need to compete fairly.

Ok, thanks.

You're welcome.

No way, you really gave that resume to Kathy?

Right, we are in the same department.

Also, she's also concerned about the filling in the manager's position.

You are too generous.

The General Manager's retirement is almost here. He's avoiding the successor.

He's made up his mind to not have a successor, to make an exception.

If you really find someone for him, then just wait for your death.

Li Li.

Hey.

What happened to you?

Li Li.

Good morning, Li Jie.

Morning.

Drink some hot water.

Did you eat something wrong? Gastritis?

Or food poisoning? This can be serious.

You are so annoying.

Firecrackers for fire. Never ending, blah blah.

I'm just worried about you. Are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital.

My period is here, ok?

Oh.

What time is it? I still need to go to a meeting.

You're already this sick, don't go.

That won't work.

You have the perfect excuse to miss it. You've heard it.

This annual meeting's main focus is the discussion of the successor plan.

Others have all found one. The only one left is the General Manager.
